Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 47 Gaining Half of the Western Region

Seeing the Great Yuezhi envoy exclaiming, Sang Biao immediately said in a cold voice: "Why? Don't you want to?"

The Great Yuezhi envoy quickly forced himself to calm down, pretending not to know, and asked carefully: "Respected Undead Commander, what is this bone tax?"

"From now on, every person in the Western Regions will pay thirty kilograms of animal bones as tax to the king every year!"

Hearing this, all the envoys from the Western Regions were calculating quickly in their minds, and their faces all looked grim.

Thirty kilograms of bones per person per year may not seem like a lot, but with a population of more than seven million in the Western Regions, that's more than two hundred million kilograms. Where can they find so many bones?

Instead, the envoy from Dayuezhi felt relieved.

Thirty kilograms of bones per person (only equivalent to 15 kilograms) is a lot, but at least it is not as much as thirty kilograms of meat or grain. In the future, we just need to pay more attention to pastoral care, and let the people eat more meat. If that doesn't work, we can go dig it up. It's not like we can't get it together.

As long as there is no complete human bone tax, that's the most fatal thing.

Did the Xiongnu have many bones? Of course they did. Their main way of survival was to raise livestock and graze, and they could also dig up animal bones discarded in previous years. What really oppressed the Xiongnu was the complete human bone tax, which forced the Xiongnu to dig up their own ancestors.

If the Xiongnu were here, they would definitely cry out for mercy. They would rather pay twice the animal bone tax than bear the full human bone tax.

Sang Biao continued, "In addition, you must pay tribute of 100 jin of gold, 10,000 liang of silver, 100,000 jin of copper and iron, 100 carts of special products, and 10,000 pieces of cloth every year. And you must obey the Lich King's signs and dispatches at any time! Obey the will of the Lich King."

"This~!"

After hearing Sang Biao's words, the envoys from the Western Regions felt a toothache.

In addition to the bone tax, the annual tribute was also quite a lot! (Products were low during this period.)
The Kucha envoy: "Dear commander of the undead, can you reduce..."

Sang Biao directly waved his hand to interrupt the words of the Qiuci envoys, and did not give them a chance to bargain. He said directly: "You can't decide, tell the people who can decide."

On the other side, after the attacking undead occupied the city wall and seized control of the city gate, they did not continue to attack the city, but simply besieged the soldiers and civilians in the city.

In the center of the city, a bone eagle with a wingspan of eight meters swooped down and landed in front of the Queen of Dayuezhi and the commanders of the Western Region coalition forces who were gathering their troops to prepare for a breakout.

Looking at the falling bone eagle, the surrounding guards quickly protected the Yuezhi Queen and the coalition commanders. Soldiers on both sides raised their weapons and aimed their bows and arrows at the huge bone eagle.

Looking at the nervous soldiers around him, the soul fire in the Bone Eagle's eyes did not fluctuate at all, and he said directly: "Commander-in-Chief Sang Biao wants to see you! To negotiate face to face! Of course, if you don't care about the remaining soldiers and civilians in this city, you can also try to break out."

After saying this, the Bone Eagle did not stop, but flapped its wings and flew away.

Looking at the flying bone eagle, the Queen of Yuezhi and the commanders of the Western Region coalition forces looked at each other, and no one spoke.

The Yuezhi Queen sighed and said, "Ah! Let's go and meet their commander!"

—————(The dividing line of the negotiation is omitted, which is not important. The war has come to an end. Let’s relax with some light-hearted and funny daily articles to avoid aesthetic fatigue.) —————

"The first half of the Western Region is already in my hands, and the second half is within my grasp as well! The rest is just a matter of time!"

On the Frozen Throne, Fusu, who received the report on the Sangbiao Contract, muttered to himself and looked at the world map on the ice wall again.

Compared with the Western Regions, Fusu was more concerned about the situation in the Central Plains.

Fusu's dark blue eyes wavered, and his perspective shifted to the grassland.

Necromancer Spell: Vision of the Dead, which allows Fusu to see the perspective of any of his undead. ~~~
On the grassland of Donghu.

The first news spread by Maodun had already fermented among the Donghu people.

The Donghu people were so excited about the undead soldiers entering the Western Regions that they wanted to eat two more pounds of meat to celebrate.

Ever since the Huns dug up their ancestors and the two sides fought several battles, they truly witnessed the power of the undead, and were beaten so badly by the undead that they no longer had the courage to fight against them.

After all, fighting on the battlefield can only be called fighting if the opponent kills the enemy. Fighting against the undead is suicide.

From then on, the undead in the Mountains of the Dead were like a gloomy mountain that pressed down on them, making them breathless and worrying all the time that the undead would occupy the entire grassland and send troops to attack them.

This worry made them avoid even the sight of the Huns.

Even many Donghu tribes living in the west did not dare to herd horses in the west, and migrated eastward or northward. They would rather give up that part of the grassland than have another conflict with the Xiongnu, fearing that the undead would attack them.

Dong Hu also knew that the undead would sooner or later annex the entire grassland, just as they once wanted to drive away the Xiongnu and occupy the entire grassland. But now, they no longer dared to think about occupying the entire grassland, which was a fantasy.

Now, hearing that the undead were going to the Western Regions to the west to fight, the Donghu people were of course very excited, and even prayed that the undead would suffer a major setback in the Western Regions, with heavy casualties!

Of course, the Donghu people themselves knew that causing heavy casualties to the undead was just something they thought about, and they were too embarrassed to speak it out.

Those who have fought against the undead know that not only are they difficult to kill, but they also increase in number the more they are fought, and they do not need rest or logistical supplies. Not to mention heavy casualties, it is even difficult to fall.

What makes them excited is that the undead are going to attack the Western Regions, which means they have more time to prepare.

~~~
On the banks of the Saimu River in Donghu, in the Huangpi tribe, a corpse rat quietly sneaked into the tent of Huangpi Chanyu, hiding in a corner and watching the great Chanyu of Donghu.

Huangpi Chanyu was looking worried in his tent.

After fighting the undead twice, he was restless every day, worrying that the Donghu would follow in the footsteps of the Xiongnu and even be wiped out.

He was also worried that he would end up like the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman.

To this end, he has convened leaders of various tribes to discuss countermeasures in the past few months.

Naturally, there are results.

The first thing is to prepare a large number of bones. When the undead attack, we should learn from the Huns to surrender and pay tribute in order to survive.

The second is to unite with Shanrong, Zhao and Yan to resist together. It is better to say that it is a plan to trap these three parties than to say it is a union.

Third, prepare supplies for the migration northward, and send people to migrate northward first to explore the way and clear obstacles.

Fourth, some of the tribesmen were relocated to Zhao and Yan states.

Fifth, give up this position of the broken Chanyu.

Unfortunately, the fifth plan failed, and those tribal leaders were not fools. In the past, the position of Chanyu was a popular one, but now, the position of Chanyu is really hot, and there will be no descendants. Even the word Chanyu has become a curse word.

Yesterday he saw with his own eyes two children quarreling in the tribe, cursing each other to become the Chanyu.
