Chapter 1620

Gao Yang looked at the one-armed old man, his eyes sweeping over them one by one.

Everyone knelt on the ground, looking in unison at where he was.

These pairs of eyes filled with hot tears were, at this moment, like the sharpest arrows in the world, piercing into the tip of Gao Yang's heart.

"Sorry, this Prime Minister came late. You... have suffered."

A thousand words reached his lips, and in the end, only this sentence remained.

These captives were too miserable.

If he had seen this scene earlier, he would not have let the Gray Wolf King die so painlessly!

Once Gao Yang said this, it instantly caused the commoners to explode.

"Prime Minister Gao's words are too heavy. That the Prime Minister could come is already a heaven-sized grace. How could we dare to ask for more?" the one-armed old man shouted.

Everyone also said one after another.

"We thought there was no hope in this life. Now that we can return home alive, we are already grateful beyond words. This is all the grace of His Majesty and the merit of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is shaming us!"

"We thank the Prime Minister for the grace of saving our lives!"

"The Prime Minister is eternal!"

"His Majesty has not forgotten us. The iron cavalry of our Da Qian has finally arrived in the land of Hexi!"

"We... can go home. We can finally go home!"

"Is home... still there?"

For a time.

Although everyone was too hungry to have strength, they all knelt and kowtowed to Gao Yang in unison.

They were excited beyond measure, crying bitterly.

This kind of life without hope had finally come to an end.

Even though Gao Yang was a poisonous strategist, seeing this scene, he did not feel good, let alone the tens of thousands of Da Qian iron cavalry.

Their eyes were faintly red, and even the hands gripping their Da Qian Mo blades could not help but exert a slight force.

As soldiers, to let the commoners of Da Qian suffer such torture in deep water and scorching fire, to create such cruel punishments, this was the shame of a soldier and also their dereliction of duty!

"My Lord, these are the Da Qian commoners rescued by our army. They want to see you; they have important intelligence to report."

At this time.

Li Erji stepped forward and said to Gao Yang.

Behind him followed an old and a young, a pair of grandparents who were full of awkwardness.

Gao Yang's gaze looked over, sweeping over the two, "What do you two have to report?"

"Prime Minister, I saw the Gray Wolf King's son, Xue Shan, escape. He must be hiding in the nearby mountains now, wanting to take the opportunity to report the news. You must be careful."

Gao Yang heard this and was indifferent, "No matter, the son of a mere Gray Wolf King running away is fine; it does not affect the overall situation."

The old man was stunned. He did not expect Gao Yang to be so unconcerned and so confident. Fearing that Gao Yang would underestimate the enemy, he could not help but remind him.

"Prime Minister Gao, you do not know. The Gray Wolf King is only a small king in this land of Hexi and cannot stand on the stage. The Zhenyue King and the Langya King are the biggest kings in the land of Hexi. They have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under their command and control the best pastures in Hexi."

"If they are on guard, Prime Minister Gao, you will be in danger!"

The fortune-telling old man spoke quickly, his eyes full of worry.

Hearing the great names of the Zhenyue King and the Langya King, all the Da Qian captives could not help but show a trace of fear on their faces.

In the land of Hexi, the names of the Zhenyue King and the Langya King could even stop a child from crying!

Wang Xiao heard this, his expression solemn.

"Grand General, this Gray Wolf King should not have been killed... If the Zhenyue King and the Langya King are put on guard, our army will be in danger."

Gao Yang shook his head, his expression indifferent, "Seeking skin from a tiger is no different from pulling chestnuts from the fire."

"Since our army has set foot on the land of Hexi, the initiative is not with the Xiongnu, but with our army."

"What about the Zhenyue King, and what about the Langya King?"

Gao Yang's voice was full of disdain, his eyes looking down and indifferent, "The land of Hexi has special terrain, running from east to west, with countless tribes of all sizes along the way. Do the territories of the Zhenyue King and the Langya King still need the Gray Wolf King to negotiate terms with this Prime Minister?"

Wang Xiao was stunned, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

He then asked, "Then what about the Gray Wolf King's son passing on the news?"

Gao Yang raised his head and looked at Wang Xiao, saying word by word,

"It's very simple, our army's speed is faster than his, isn't that enough?"

Once these words were spoken.

Wang Xiao was shocked in his heart, knowing Gao Yang's plan.

He widened his eyes.

A madman...

A thorough madman.

He originally thought that Gao Yang taking eight hundred people to go around the back and raid the Xiongnu's rear nest and capturing the Chanyu's grandfather alive was already very bold.

But he never expected that Gao Yang would also launch a great raid in the land of Hexi with tens of thousands of Da Qian Black Armor iron cavalry!

This is the land of Hexi, with eighty-one Xiongnu tribes and over one hundred thousand soldiers who control the bow!

Can this also launch a great detour and raid back and forth?

Gao Yang turned his head.

His phoenix eyes swept over the Da Qian captives, and then looked at the Da Qian soldiers whose bodies were stained with Xiongnu blood!

On the grassland, a great wind blew, causing the armor on Gao Yang's body to rustle.

For a time, countless gazes gathered on Gao Yang, their bodies standing straight.

Gao Yang clenched his fists and spoke directly.

"The Xiongnu treat our Da Qian commoners like livestock and bully them wantonly."

"Today, I, Gao Yang, swear to heaven—"

"This hatred shall be washed away with blood, and blood debts shall be paid in blood!"

"Today is like this, and the future will be the same—whoever stains the blood of our Da Qian people, even if it is ten thousand miles away, I will slaughter their tribe!"

Hum!

Gao Yang's voice rang out, like a thunderclap.

The wind whistled and blew from afar. Everyone who heard these words felt a shock in their hearts.

The Da Qian captives with "Herding Slave" tattooed on their faces suddenly had their breathing quicken upon hearing these words.

Whoever stains the blood of our Da Qian people, even if it is ten thousand miles away, I will slaughter their tribe!

What kind of dominance is this, what kind of determination is this.

They stared fixedly at Gao Yang, their hearts surging with hot blood.

Not to mention the Da Qian commoners, even Li Erji and Pu Duo all looked at Gao Yang in unison.

These words are too dominant!

Wang Xiao's body also trembled slightly, his gaze fixed on Gao Yang.

Ever since Gao Yang first showed his brilliance, Wang Zhong had been warning him.

Gao Yang is the mortal enemy of the Wang family in this life, so be careful. If there is an opportunity one day, you must kill him quickly.

But this journey across the Wu River, over Mount Canglan, raiding the Gray Wolf Tribe, and launching a great detour.

These methods gradually changed his mind.

Especially this sentence: "Whoever stains the blood of our Da Qian people, even if it is ten thousand miles away, I will slaughter their tribe"... These words are so good that he wants to kneel to Gao Yang!

Too dominant!

A great nation should be like this!

Father, I seem to have fallen in love with someone I shouldn't have fallen in love with...

Gao Yang mounted his horse, looking at these Da Qian people who had been tortured by the Xiongnu until they didn't look like humans, and the anger in his heart surged.

Not long ago, the Xiongnu raided Yuyang City, crippling his second uncle and slaughtering Yuyang City. Tens of thousands of people in Yuyang City, regardless of gender, age, or youth, were spared by none.

At this moment, the anger in Gao Yang's heart surged, and his killing intent soared to the sky.

He pulled the reins and said with a cold expression, "Order the three armies: in this battle, this Prime Minister does not want any deals, nor does he want any submission. This Prime Minister only wants—to establish might!"

"This Prime Minister wants to tell the Xiongnu a truth: the era that belonged to them has passed."

"From now on, the offense and defense have changed!"

"Whoever invades our Da Qian, I will surely destroy their tribe, exterminate their roots, and cut off their descendants! From today on, wherever our Da Qian iron cavalry passes, no felt tents will be left, and no captives will be taken!"

This Prime Minister wants the eighty-one tribes of Hexi to tremble from now on when they see the Da Qian military flag, wants the Mobei grassland to never dare to look south at the Central Plains from now on! Wants the Xiongnu children to cry at night a hundred years from now, and fall silent when they hear the name Gao!" ===== CHAPTER 1622 =====
