Chapter 1201

Duan Yu looked on.

The Dragon Scale Radiant Gold Armor on his body reflected the residual red of the setting sun, and his red cloak swayed gently in the wind.

After the stifling pressure in his heart had eased, the expression on Duan Yu's face relaxed significantly.

Supporting himself with one hand on the saddle behind Xiao Hei, Duan Yu vaulted down.

Then, he reached out and pointed at the corpses beside him.

Xiao Hei immediately bounded over joyfully and began to feast.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The sound of bones and muscles being crunched broke the silence.

Watching the black tiger swallow the human flesh in large gulps, Yuan Feigui could no longer hold it back, and just like the Senior Monk Chapiye of the Great Buddha Temple, he began to vomit.

Thud, thud!

Thud, thud!

Outside the Great Buddha Temple.

Zhao Yun, Zhao Feng, and Jia Xu arrived with several dozen cavalry guards; the timing was perfect.

"My Lord!"

"My Lord!"

"My Lord!"

After the three reached Duan Yu, they dismounted.

Duan Yu nodded slightly.

The tragic scene in the surroundings came into their view, and even Zhao Yun felt exceptionally shocked.

The adoration for Duan Yu in those eyes reached its peak.

If one spoke of blocking a hundred with one, Zhao Yun believed he could do it.

If one spoke of breaking out of a siege of a thousand, Zhao Yun believed that by risking his life, he could do it.

But if one spoke of slaughtering all thousand men while surrounded by them, Zhao Yun knew he absolutely could not do it.

Perhaps that Lu Fengxian could.

But it would absolutely not be as effortless as it was for the Marquis of Ji.

With every step Duan Yu took, a bloody footprint appeared on the ground.

He walked all the way to the gate of the Great Buddha Temple and looked up at the magnificent and luxuriously decorated hall.

After vomiting, Chapiye raised his head, his gaze looking at Duan Yu in terror.

His trembling lips were deathly pale, unable to utter a single word.

Duan Yu squatted down, then grabbed Chapiye by the throat and slowly lifted him up.

Chapiye, who was only one meter seven tall, was held by Duan Yu, his feet gradually leaving the ground.

His face flushed red, and his dangling legs twitched.

"Where is your Buddha?"

Duan Yu looked mockingly at the struggling Chapiye: "Why hasn't the Buddha you worship come to save you?"

"A bunch of parasites who gnaw on bones and suck marrow."

"Supported by the entire Cheshi Kingdom, what can your Buddha bring to the people of this nation?"

"Fooling the masses—can you escape suffering by relying on your so-called faith?"

"Huh?"

"Pissed yourself?"

Duan Yu casually tossed the feces-and-urine-covered Chapiye into the hall of the Great Buddha Temple.

Boom!

The flying Chapiye slammed directly into the Buddha statue inside the hall, exploding into a mist of blood; by the time he landed on the ground, he was dead beyond any doubt.

The Buddha statue inside the hall looked as if it had been painted with a layer of blood-red dye.

On the other side, the Wusun ambassador Yuan Feigui was already shaking like chaff.

"Don't... don't... don't kill me..."

"I beg you... don't kill... don't kill me."

The already broken Chinese in Yuan Feigui's mouth sounded even more ridiculous now.

Duan Yu chuckled as he looked down at Yuan Feigui, who was kneeling on the ground with a puddle of vomit in front of him.

"Didn't I just say it, Marquis?"

Duan Yu said in a mocking tone: "I like the way you act arrogant; I hope you can keep being this arrogant."

Yuan Feigui's face turned deathly pale.

"Don't... I... I know Chapiye has treasure; he hid a lot of gold and silver jewelry, it's in his residence, I have money, I can..."

Swish!

Duan Yu drew the sword at his waist.

After one slash, only a thin red line remained on Yuan Feigui's throat.

The next second, Yuan Feigui used both hands to cover his throat.

However, gushing blood sprayed out from between his fingers.

Kneeling on the ground, Yuan Feigui fell forward.

Duan Yu sheathed his sword in one fluid motion, then turned to look at Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng.

"Immediately lead the troops to open the South City Gate, let the garrison outside the city enter, and also clear out all the commoners in Jiaohecheng and drive them outside the city."

"And..."

Duan Yu looked back at the Great Buddha Temple behind him.

Although Cheshi is a small country.

But to support these monks with the power of an entire nation, one can imagine how fat these monks must be.

This is practically a signpost for a house-raiding.

No need to search carefully at all.

"Dig three feet into the ground here and loot all money and goods."

"Also, drive all the monks here out of the city and confine them."

After Duan Yu issued the set of orders, Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng immediately accepted them.

Before entering the city, Duan Yu had already had the Liangzhou Army stationed at Gaochangbi prepare.

Compared to Gaochangbi, this Jiaohecheng is the truly perfect place to establish the Wuji Commandant's Office.

Of course, Duan Yu is not looking to establish the Wuji Commandant's Office now, but to swallow the entire Western Regions.

Originally, Duan Yu did not have this intention.

After all, with Liangzhou's current population and productivity, trying to swallow the entire Western Regions would easily burst his stomach.

Empress Dowager Dong's promise, although a pie in the sky, if he completes it, then it won't be a pie in the sky anymore.

Empress Dowager Dong, Yuan Kui, and others all thought he couldn't complete it, which is why there was such a void pie.

But he just wants to use practical action to tell those people in Luoyangcheng.

Returning to Liangzhou all the way from Luoyang, and after returning to Liangzhou, Duan Yu held a meeting in Liangzhou.

How to swallow the Western Regions at the fastest speed.

There are more than fifty large and small countries.

The vast majority of them have a population of no more than ten thousand.

The medium-sized ones have populations of twenty or thirty thousand, or thirty or forty thousand.

The one with the largest population is Wusun, with six hundred to seven hundred thousand.

Excluding Wusun, the largest is Qiuci, with a population of nearly one hundred thousand.

But on average, the entire population of the Western Regions exceeds one million.

Winning is certainly not a problem.

Duan Yu has never doubted this point.

But the problem is, how to manage it after winning.
