The cold wind wanders around, making people unable to open their eyes, and shave on their faces, making people feel pain like a knife.

A corner of the vast grassland, a war has just ended.

A better description, perhaps it should be called...massacre.

Chengping for nine years.

The Houchi tribe invaded the Western Regions on a large scale and was fought to the death by the Loulan Kingdom. Because of its superiority in military strength, the Houchi tribe once took the initiative in the early stages of the war. However, because of Li Xun's hypothetical alliance, it actually secretly joined forces with the Loulan Kingdom. The Houchi tribe Khan believed Li Xun easily and ended in a crushing defeat under the internal and external attacks of Li Xun and Loulan Kingdom. More than 20,000 brave soldiers remained on the land of the Western Regions forever.

"The king, there are no living people anymore."

Ulanhatu came on a horse and reported the news.

Hedmutu looked at the battlefield in the distance and spoke without saying a word.

Ulanhatu got off the horse and walked behind Hedmutu, looking into the distance, where... there were tens of thousands of corpses lying. Many soldiers were gathering the numerous corpses together, and then... burning them down with fire.

Hedmutu murmured to himself: "This is my last kindness to them."

The Houchi clan advocates fire, so after the Houchi clan members die, they will carry out cremation and then sprinkle the ashes on any place on the grassland.

Hou Chi and the Hu people of the Liao Dynasty were mortal enemies.

Now, Hedmutu did not let them expose their bodies in the wilderness, but cremated them in the traditional way to allow their souls to rest in peace. To a certain extent, they were indeed very kind.

Ulanhatu sighed and shook his head.

He felt that Hedmutu was too cruel. The entire Luo Cheng tribe, from top to bottom, had more than 80,000 people, regardless of gender, age, or even a single one, and they were killed. The methods were too cruel.

Hedmutu looked at Ulanhatu and said in a low voice: "Do you think I'm cruel?"

Ulanhatu didn't speak.

Hedmutu asked coldly: "Answer me."

Ulanhatu bowed and said, "Prince, war is about life and death, so... there is nothing cruel or not, but... the 10,000 soldiers of the Luo Cheng tribe have been wiped out, so why should the rest of the tribe kill them?"

Hedmutu said: "I think it's a bit unnecessary for me to do this, right?"

That's what Ulanhatu thinks, but naturally he can't say this.

"If more than 70,000 prisoners are brought back, this is a great fortune. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be happy and kill them all, which is a pity."

"How do you bring it back? Even if you take it, how many people can reach the Momeng grassland alive? Ulanhatu, put away your kindness and put away your stupidity."

Hedmutu sneered and scolded.

Ulanhatu lowered his head and said no more.

The grassland where the Houchi tribe is located is called Hegu, with a large territory and even larger than the Momeng Grassland. However,... the natural environment here is extremely harsh, with only a few areas where nomadic habitats can be used. This is why, the dozens of tribes that escaped from Momeng and had more than 200,000 people. After more than two hundred years of development, the population is only just over one million.

To the west of Hegu Grassland is a desert that stretches thousands of miles away. Liao Wumen is passing through this desert. When it goes east, it is also a wasteland and swamp that stretches thousands of miles away. When it walks through this area, it is Yehu tribes.

To the north, there are continuous mountains and... endless snow fields.

To the south, it is the Western Regions.

The Houchi tribe was once the overlord of the Momeng grassland, but in the end it declined and was replaced by other prosperous tribes. After years of fighting and war, the Houchi tribe was on the verge of destruction. In order to survive, the Houchi tribe chose to move westward more than two hundred years ago.

More than 500,000 people of the tribe have passed through thousands of miles of deserts and wilderness, experienced thousands of dangers, and arrived at the ancient grassland. The population has dropped sharply, with only more than 200,000.

After nearly two hundred years of reproduction, the Houchi clan slowly regained its strength. At its peak, the population was nearly one million and nearly two hundred thousand armored men.

After Tianxiong Khan ascended the throne, he was ambitious and went south several times, intending to occupy the land of Longyou. At that time, Liu Jie sent envoys to travel thousands of miles to the Hegu Grassland to tell his powerful relationship. Finally, he told the Houchi tribe that the two sides formed an alliance.

The Hu clan has a great advantage in military strength. The reason why Liu Jie was able to win more with fewer times was that the Hou Chi clan made great contributions.

At the critical moment, the Hu tribe and the Jin Dynasty had three major wars. The Houchi tribe traveled thousands of miles of wasteland and raided the Momeng grassland, which gave the Momeng Hu tribe at that time a great blow and restraint.

Therefore, starting from the middle of Arislan, Arislan changed his strategy, made good friends with the Jin Dynasty, stopped his troops and cooperated well, and then mobilized a large army to launch an attack on the Houchi clan.

In the later 20 years of Arislan, he had a good relationship with the Jin Dynasty, and almost no war occurred. More than that, he attacked the Hu tribes in Monan and Houchi tribes. The three sides fought for more than 20 years, but they had no choice but to win or lose.

The power of the Houchi tribe is far inferior to that of the Hu tribe, but it has a geographical advantage. The two sides are separated by thousands of miles of wastelands and deserts. This distance is too difficult, it is tantamount to an expedition.

This time, the Emperor Huhe Bari of the Liao Dynasty persuaded King Mengtu of Qi to use troops against the Houchi tribe again.

For political reasons and his own safety, Mengtu did not lead the army to fight, but instead took out a 50,000 army and handed it over to the command of King Hedemutu, the King of Yan who had always had a disagreement with him.

Although Hedmutu is a rough person and lustful person, his military talents are extremely outstanding.

Hedmutu changed his past, and a large army of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops attacked the Houchi tribe. Hedmutu concentrated his elite troops and selected 20,000 warriors from the 50,000 Tumeng's army, plus his own 5,000 elite guards, and used 25,000 soldiers as the main force of the attack on the Houchi tribe. Then he mobilized nearly 200,000 people. After half a year of preparation, he built twenty transit stations in the wastelands of thousands of miles to hoard food and grass to ensure the adequate food and grass of the army.

Hedmutu's strategy was successful. Although he did not have many troops, he had elite troops, strong combat power, and the supply of food and grass was guaranteed to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, he entered the Hegu Grassland for more than two months and was invincible. He seized the opportunity and wiped out the entire tribe of the eight tribes of the Houchi tribe in one fell swoop.

Over the years, the Hu tribe has suffered a lot of losses, and most of them ended in failure. There is no way to deal with the Houchi tribe. After all, the logistics cannot keep up.

This time, Hedmutu changed his strategy and ensured the supply of logistics, which made the Houchi clan's plan to firmly clear the world and clear the country fail, thus achieving great victory.
