"Your Highness!" Fan Hu clasped his hands into fists, his face full of anger.
"I've heard a lot of things in the village these days. Hu people often come here to burn, kill and loot. Especially Donghu people, they come here every three to five."
Zhao Rui understood immediately.
People like them, who are fishing and hunting people, live a difficult life. If they want to expand their territory and increase their strength, they can only plunder everywhere.
"Has anyone come to rob during this time?"
Tang Long on the side nodded: "Five days ago, a group of No. 100 men and horses rushed into the stockade. We wiped them all out, leaving a few alive and locked them up in the stable over there."
Zhao Rui didn't expect so many things to happen during this period.
"Bring it here, I want to interrogate it!"
Not long after, several tied-up men were dragged in by Batoru.
These people had injuries all over their bodies, most of them caused by stones. Moreover, judging from their appearance, they had not eaten for several days, and there were still traces of horse food in their mouths.
Wanyanjing suddenly stood up and slammed the table.
"How come you bastards haven't starved to death yet?"
Although she was extremely angry, her rather sweet voice made her look a bit fierce.
Zhao Rui coughed, pushed Wanyanjing down on the chair, and then took out the King Yu Sword and placed it on the shoulder of one of the barbarians.
"I ask a question and you answer a question, otherwise the head will fall to the ground and it will not be clear?"
That man was also a weakling, and he just knelt on the ground and agreed repeatedly.
Zhao Rui also asked: "Which tribe of barbarians do you have?"
"Donhu!"
"Have all your main forces gone south to attack Beiyan?"
"Not all of them have gone, but there are still 10,000 troops left!"
"Draw the spheres of influence of the other four groups of barbarians on the map and tell me their current situation."
Not daring to be too slow, the man immediately picked up a branch from the side, dipped it in some pine leaf juice, and began to draw on the map tremblingly.
The situation now is very clear. Although the five Hu tribes have formed an alliance, each of them still has a force left behind. Moreover, there are many tribes affiliated with the Wu Hu tribes in the mountains and forests of the northeast, and their forces are complex.
The strongest among them is Yuanhu. They are located closer to the east, have the largest number and are the most fierce.
Although 30,000 people were sent south, they could still gather 40,000 troops. It seems that this posture was intended to take advantage of this opportunity to unify the Wuhu, and then unify the entire northeastern mountains and forests.
The land of the barbarians has been a barbaric land since ancient times, but even in such a harsh environment, extremely powerful tribal civilizations can often be born.
Once the entire Northeastern mountains and forests are unified, an extremely powerful and fierce army can be formed.
Then you can go south to attack the civilization of the Central Plains.
Zhao Rui suddenly thought of the Qing Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin in the history of Blue Star!
Both dynasties originated in the mountains and forests of Northeast China and eventually swept across the Central Plains.
Since he is here in this era, he will never let such a thing happen!
It is necessary to bring all the tribes in this mountain forest into the territory of Dashang.
Based on the ferocity of these tribes, the great merchants could use this place as one of their military sources in the future.
But if you want to accomplish such a feat in such an extreme environment, it will take at least a month or two.
I just don’t know what Beiyan’s current situation is like and whether it can withstand it?
"Fan Hu!" Zhao Rui threw out a token: "You lead a team of people and several local guides through the woods in the south to investigate the border of Beiyan, and report the situation there to me as soon as possible.
"
"As you command!"
Fan Hu received the order and set off immediately without staying here.
