Chapter 1632: Not killing women, children, and the elderly, is the Living Yama kind-hearted?
They looked at Gao Yang with strange expressions, the corners of their mouths twitching.
The army raided all the way. Not to mention Wu Zhao in Changan City, even they didn't know where they had killed to. How could the military order be sent?
Li Erji said, "The Prime Minister is right. There is no military order from Changan yet, what does this have to do with the Prime Minister?"
"Besides, didn't the Prime Minister release many Xiongnu women, children, and the elderly? Especially the elderly and children, this is enough to reflect the Prime Minister's kindness!"
Once Li Erji said this, the generals nodded one after another.
Gao Yang was ruthless in killing the stubborn Xiongnu soldiers, but he was really good to the women, children, and the elderly, and even threw some food and meat jerky before leaving.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young, extremely kind.
Gao Yang rolled his eyes. His handsome face was like the True Yama in the world under the campfire. He said expressionlessly, "I cannot afford the word 'kind'. I left them not out of kindness, but because the fierce might of our Da Qian army needs them to spread to every part of the Hexi land!"
"Otherwise, would I spare their lives?"
"Do you think that I have carried so many killings, and I am still afraid of one more killing of Xiongnu women, children, and the elderly? Don't forget, as early as the first time I met His Majesty, I said that my big saber does not kill women, children, and the elderly, but I also have a small knife!"
Hum!
Once Gao Yang said this, the generals were all stunned.
Li Erji widened his eyes. He didn't expect it to be like this.
"Pu Duo, you are from the Xiongnu, then do you know the 'White Disaster' on the grassland? When the White Disaster comes, what will the old herdsmen do?" Gao Yang looked at Pu Duo and suddenly asked.
Pu Duo's Adam's apple rolled, and he nodded subconsciously, "When the blizzard freezes cattle and sheep to death, the old herdsmen will slaughter the weakest livestock..."
"Not bad, that's exactly it. The old, weak, women, and children I let go are the knives stuck in Helian Cha's heart."
"This is the second intention of my letting them go!"
The night wind swept across the camp with grass clippings. Gao Yang threw out a piece of meat jerky he had snatched. In the dark, the suppressed sobbing of children immediately came—several Xiongnu orphans were curled up under the supply cart, staring at the food rolled to their feet but not daring to move.
Zhao Bushi couldn't help but gasp: "Prime Minister, I understand! After these old, weak, women, and children lose their reliance, they will be more disliked than stinking sheepskin!"
This former Xiongnu centurion finally woke up. The grassland tribes only keep the elite. If these burdens are at the door of other tribes, not accepting them violates the instruction of the "Long-living Heaven" to "protect the same clan," and accepting them means sharing the food for the winter.
This move is too ruthless!
"I will send people to spread rumors. This is not my fault, nor is it Da Qian's fault. If you want to blame someone, blame their Great Chanyu for provoking first! It was his ambition that killed the men who could herd horses and made them homeless!"
"By then, they might remember that I once gave them food, and even under human nature, they might feel that I was forced to do so!"
Gao Yang chuckled, laughing extremely mockingly.
Pu Duo trembled all over.
He seemed to see those stooped old people crossing the grassland from Gao Yang's words, sowing a seed of resentment every time they passed a tribe.
When the cold winter comes, and when the hungry tribesmen stare at the last half bag of millet, these deeply buried seeds will suddenly break through the soil.
"As for the children, when they watch their relatives starve to death, and when they grow up and think that it was not the Da Qian iron cavalry that failed to save their parents, but the reinforcements that were late in the royal tent thousands of miles away..." The campfire exploded, reflecting Gao Yang's eyebrows like an Asura, "That is the knife that kills the heart."
"Hiss!"
Once these words were spoken, the generals gasped in unison.
They didn't expect Gao Yang to have such deep meaning in leaving the women, children, and the elderly.
Pu Duo and Zhao Bushi felt their scalps tingle. They were from the Xiongnu, and compared to the Da Qian generals, they knew how precious food was on the grassland.
Gao Yang is equivalent to leaving a mess for the Xiongnu Great Chanyu!
If he leaves it alone, how can the Xiongnu tribes in the land of Hexi not have complaints in their hearts?
This Living Yama has truly used human nature to the extreme!
Although Wang Xiao was also shocked, he realized something was wrong.
They were fighting a blitzkrieg. Why did Gao Yang want these women, children, and the elderly to spread the fierce might of the Da Qian army and make the concept of slaughtering those who resist deeply rooted?
