I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Deep in the swamp, the muddy land seemed to open its huge mouth, swallowing every life that stepped into it.

The two Han armies have merged. They are marching hand in hand, waving their weapons, and moving forward step by step on the soft wet ground.

The wailing of the Wuhuan warriors continued. They struggled desperately, each of them clinging tightly to their companions, but this could not give them any safety. Step by step, one by one, they were squeezed into the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper.
"Oh my God!"

"What on earth did I do wrong?"

"You're punishing me like this!"

Puligai burst into tears.

The siege of those Han cavalry had already cost him a heavy price.

But even so, he still completed the task conscientiously and forced them into a desperate situation. As long as he waited patiently, he would be able to reap the fruits of victory.

But in the end, not only was he beaten up by his friendly forces for no apparent reason, but he was also the one who was doomed to die.

"Surrender, there is no way to fight anymore."

The confidant wailed:

"If we keep fighting, none of us will survive!"

Behind him was a bottomless swamp, and in front of him was Su Yao, who was killing indiscriminately, and the Han army, which was like a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

Finally, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Han army, their last bit of spirit was completely extinguished.

This surrender became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Please - stop hitting me!"

Some of the desperate Wuhuan people laid down their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"General, spare your life!"

"Surrender, I surrender!"

Their efforts to survive were not in vain - the terrible killing stopped temporarily.

As soon as they saw a way to survive, the Wuhuan warriors threw their weapons aside one by one as if they were too hot to handle, and then fell to their knees.

As the Wuhuan warriors surrendered one after another, the noisy shouts and cries on the battlefield finally subsided, and soon the only sounds left from the Wuhuan people were heavy breathing and faint crying.

In contrast, the Han army was jubilant and excited.

Especially Hou Cheng.

The moment Su Yao gave the order to capture the prisoners and end the battle, he immediately turned around and ran to the friendly position on the other side.

"Old Song!"

"Old Song, are you still alive?"

Hou Cheng ran and shouted, with sweat beads on his cheeks.

"Fuck you, who's so eager to scold me to death?!"

When Song Xian heard the voice and looked over, he saw Hou Cheng panting and said with a wry smile:
"I'm very tough, it's not that easy to die."

"Hard-fate?" Hou Cheng snorted, "I didn't see that he was tough-fate, but he's still tough-talking as always."

Just as these comrades were reuniting and celebrating their survival, Su Yao was standing on the edge of the swamp, counting his haul with a smile on his face.

"Haha, get rich, get rich."

"This wave of blood is worth it!"

As they got closer while chasing the defeated army, Su Yao discovered that his own troops were trapped in this swamp. He immediately thought of driving these cavalry here to wipe them out completely.

The results are, of course, exciting.

Not only were all the fleeing 700-plus cavalry driven into this desperate situation, but the more than 1,000 knights who had besieged Song Xian and others here also became buy-one-get-one-free gifts.

After this decisive battle, nearly two thousand war horses were seized, and Xiangping Horse Farm finally saw hope of reopening.

Moreover, this large number of strong laborers will obviously become an important asset for his Liaodong strategy.

This wave of harvest is really not small.

However, he certainly would not be satisfied with this. "Quickly interrogate the prisoners!"

"Let me see who is giving me this kind of face. I just took office and they are giving me such a big gift."

The torture didn't give him time to fully develop his skills. The beaten and bruised Puligai confessed everything he knew:

"Please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life, sir!"

"I am just following orders."

"We would never dare to betray the Han people."

"This is all the idea of ​​my superior, the vassal commander Gongsun Zhao!"

The Han army was shocked, but Su Yao's eyes flickered slightly. After a pause, he loudly refuted:
"Nonsense, you bastard, stop making random accusations."

"Gongsun Zhao is a loyal and good man of the Han Dynasty. How could he do such a treasonous thing?!"

Upon hearing this, Puligai's face turned even paler. He had thought that by giving Gongsun Zhao away he could buy himself a chance of survival, but he did not expect the young governor to react so violently. He suddenly felt a little desperate.

"My Lord, everything I said is true!"

Then he burst into tears.

It turned out that this commander of the Liaodong vassal state had used his influence over the Wuhuan tribe to commit many illegal acts during his tenure.

Since this person took office, the annual rewards promised by the court to their departments have never been paid.
Instead, they were forcibly assigned designated looting tasks and ordered to raise money and food on their own.

However, after they completed the looting, the goods they obtained had to be handed over to their designated caravan for cash.

They worked hard and risked their lives to rob the money, but in the end, after a dazzling operation, they got less than 30% of the market price.

"You still work for him even though he's so evil???" Su Yao was a little speechless.

"My Lord Governor, we are helpless!"

Puligai knocked his head and pointed around:

“Look at this land.”

"Although the Liao River is vast, it is not a place with abundant water and grass."

"This place is full of swamps and mosquitoes."

"If there is no annual reward from the court, we will have no choice but to kill children and exile the elderly every other year."

"Although Commander Gongsun has taken a lot of prisoners, we still have a way to survive."

"You cut off his source of income this time. He must be afraid of being held accountable, so he sent us to do this."

"So, you mean it's all my fault?" Su Yao snorted coldly.

"I dare not do this. I absolutely dare not do this."

Puligai realized that he had said something wrong and turned pale, and hurriedly explained:

"It's just that what I said is indeed true."

Su Yao sneered in response.

As the saying goes, when there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The last years of the dynasty were also a time when evildoers abounded.

Of course, he understood that Gongsun Zhao's move did control the threat posed by the Wuhuan in Liaodong to a certain extent. After the imperial court cut off their dog food, the Wuhuan people here did not become as out of control as Qiuliju and other Wuhuan people in Liaoxi.

However, this does not mean that he can tolerate such evil deeds of corruption, abuse of power and exploitation of the people.

"I will investigate Gongsun Zhao's crimes." Su Yao said in a deep voice, "But don't think you can easily write off the crimes you committed."

After saying that, Su Yao turned around and ordered Song Xian, Guo Huai and others to take the captured horses away.

After resting for half an hour, the soldiers of their team continued to advance further, determined to achieve success in one battle and completely destroy the conspiracy of the Wuhuan people and Gongsun Zhao to avoid any further complications.

Soon, as news of Su Yao's series of great victories spread, the Liaodong Plain was in a state of panic, with every tree and grass looking like an enemy.
