Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 311: Lost and Confused

The Sirius King's Court had been breached, but Liu Feiyun was not in a hurry to set off south.

Now the team led by Liu Feiyun has exceeded one million, which is a very large number.

If the Chen Dynasty army had not slowly advanced northwards with a fishing net-like strategy, gradually squeezing the barbarians' living space, it would have been impossible for millions of barbarians to gather on the shores of Sirius Lake, and even more impossible for nearly two million Chen slaves who were used as livestock to be gathered here.

However, at this time, there are only these one million Chen people still alive.

Liu Feiyun looked at the barbarians dragging the bodies of the dead into the pits, feeling somewhat bewildered:

So far, I can say that I have created a miracle!

With only a battalion of less than 800 soldiers, they penetrated deep into the barbarian rear areas and turned the barbarian rear areas upside down in less than half a month.

Not only did he rescue millions of compatriots, he also mobilized an army of hundreds of thousands of people to break through the Sirius King's Court, making it so that no one would dare to look down on him again.

Becoming famous at a young age, perhaps this phrase can be used to describe myself now!

But! Why didn't he feel the joy and excitement he had when he successfully attacked the barbarian camp for the first time?

Why is it that what comes to my mind now is no longer the glorious scene of being granted a title of nobility or a general in the future, but those cold corpses?

Those corpses include those of our compatriots in this world, this empire, and the Great Chen Dynasty, as well as those of the elderly, the weak, women, and children of the barbarians!

If it were the corpses of soldiers from both sides, he would not have had too many feelings!

Generals died in hundreds of battles, and their bodies were returned wrapped in horse leather.

Since they have taken up arms, no matter whether it is voluntary or not, no matter whether they are soldiers or bandits, no matter whether they are soldiers of Dachen or so-called barbarian warriors!

Once you are on the battlefield, life or death is determined by God and not by yourself.

But what about the people of the Chen Dynasty who have been enslaved, and the elderly, the weak, the women and the children of the barbarians?

"Master Sima! Tell me, if I had not attacked the Heavenly Wolf King's Court and instead retreated eastward, would those of our fellow countrymen who were slaughtered, as well as the elderly, weak, women and children of the barbarians, have not died?"

"Is it because of my own selfishness? To make a name for myself? That's why I harmed them?"

"Maybe! They shouldn't have died!"

Sima Mingqu smiled calmly, shook his head and said: "You are asking the wrong person! What's wrong? Your mind is a little confused! Do you want me to play a calming song for you?

Although I can’t answer your questions or resolve your problems, I can still suppress these negative emotions temporarily!”

"A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers! Don't be too soft-hearted when commanding an army! Commander Liu! This is such a simple truth! You must understand it! Now is not the time for you to have wild thoughts! Quickly reorganize the troops and go south to defeat the barbarian army. This is the top priority!"

Chen Yisan on the side said without any emotion.

Liu Feiyun felt a little unhappy, but when he thought about Chen Yisan's identity, he finally forced a smile and said:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Eunuch Chen! This is the first time I've seen so many corpses. I can't help but feel a little uneasy!"

"Yes! Even if I, Liu Feiyun, were not there, this war would have broken out sooner or later! Many innocent people, whether they are the people of Dachen or the barbarians, will inevitably die in the war!"

"Even if there hadn't been this war, on the northern border, our Great Chen Dynasty and the tribes of the Northern Wilderness would still be fighting each other! How many people would die every year!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Chen, for your enlightenment!"

"But! I still think that we shouldn't be too hasty in setting out the army! We have to wait until tomorrow at least!"

"Although we have millions of people right now, it will be useless for the decisive battle if we just rush south in such a disorderly manner!"

"Moreover, among these one million people who can fight, we must first exclude the women, children, the wounded, the sick and the disabled! I estimate that there are at least 500,000 of them."

"We need to send people to transport these 500,000 people! Although we have no shortage of vehicles and horses, we still need to allocate at least 200,000 people to do this."

"After all, in addition to transporting people, necessary food and other supplementary supplies are also indispensable! They also need to be transported! Those cattle, sheep and horses cannot all be left to Mo Rongluo and that group of lone wolves!"

"So, the number of people who can really be armed is only over 300,000! Moreover, the weapons we have now can only arm over 300,000 people at most! As for armor, there are only 30,000 sets of iron armor and only a few hundred thousand sets of leather armor, which can only equip half of the troops."

"So, after the public memorial service, I will reorganize the troops! I will use the 110,000 soldiers of the Xuehen Army and the 20,000 soldiers of the Yunliu Division to rush south to help in the battle. The rest will be reorganized into a returning militia to escort the people and advance slowly!"

Chen Yisan was puzzled and asked, "You want to divide the troops? But why don't you lead 300,000 people to attack the enemy together? Hundreds of thousands of unarmored soldiers are still a considerable force after all. Besides, only 130,000 people to help in the battle are too few, right?"

Liu Feiyun put away his smile and said seriously: "These 130,000 people must hurry to find the whereabouts, and try not to let the barbarians find out too early! At least they can't find out the truth! On the surface! I am leading a million troops to slowly advance!"

"But the barbarians are not deaf or blind! They are not stupid either! Will they be fooled?"

"How can you know if you don't try it?"

Liu Feiyun finally said with absolute certainty.

The bodies of hundreds of thousands of Chen people were finally buried!

Liu Feiyun ordered people to bring a long huge stone, erect it in the center of the cemetery, engrave a sacrificial text on it, and use it as a tombstone!

One million Chen people, two hundred thousand barbarians from the Cangmang tribes, and tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers from the Aokong tribes gathered around the huge cemetery, looking at Liu Feiyun reciting the sacrificial words loudly in front of the tombstone!

The sacrificial speech was not long, nor was it elegant, but when Liu Feiyun read it out word by word, it was awe-inspiring.

The gist of the memorial was nothing more than mourning the souls of the hundreds of thousands of Chen people who were massacred, and warning the barbarians that if they did the same thing again, he, the butcher, would repay them tenfold!

In the end, Bulutok, who had issued the order for the massacre, and hundreds of barbarian captives who had participated in the massacre were all captured and torn into pieces by Liu Feiyun!

Then, he said loudly to the barbarians: "Many of you barbarians call my father Liu the Butcher, and I, Liu Feiyun, the Little Butcher! But my father only kills people with swords! I, Liu Feiyun, also only kill demons who have lost their humanity!"

"I know that just yesterday, many of your tribesmen who were unable to hold swords or ride horses also died!"

"But! If that Bluetok hadn't issued the massacre order! I think! They probably wouldn't have died!"

"Before I attacked your royal court, I, Liu Feiyun, had been to many of your camps and robbed your cattle, sheep and horses, but I did not kill people indiscriminately! I never massacred a single camp of yours!"

"If you want to hate, then hate yourselves! Hate yourselves for why no one came out to stop that devil Bluetok!"

"We Chen people are kind by nature, just like the docile sheep you barbarians refer to! But even the most docile sheep still have evil spirits hidden deep in their hearts! It is the devil Bulutok who has aroused the evil spirits in our hearts!"

"So! I don't want anyone from your Northern Wilderness tribes to stir up the evil spirit in our hearts! Otherwise! You know the consequences!"
