Chapter 175: Racial conflict, you are not qualified to be merciful!
The rain was sudden and the wind was strong, and the atmosphere in the pavilion became more and more weird.

After a while, Ye Feng helped Guo Jia, who was kneeling on the ground, up and teased Zhicai.

"Zhicai is right, but we have no other choice."

"Survival of the fittest. There should be no mercy in racial struggles."

"Do you know those Chinese people who begged for mercy but were refused by the Wuhuan and Xiongnu cavalry?"

"They burn, kill, and plunder. They do whatever they want. Do they have any mercy in their hearts?"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"

"When you show mercy to foreigners, do you know how many wronged souls are waiting for you to avenge them?"

"Your kindness is worthy of the countless souls who have died in the underworld?"

"Half a month ago, I personally took you to inspect the cities that the Wuhuan had conquered. What did you think at that time?"

Jia Xu, Guo Jia's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Kill these beasts."

"Repay evil with evil!"

"Only by doing this can I eliminate the hatred in my heart."

Ye Feng nodded: "At that time, you were shocked by the scene in front of you, and you were filled with anger and wanted to vent it, but now that a few days have passed, have you forgotten everything?"

"If I tell you that the Xiongnu people you let go will kill countless of our compatriots with their scimitars in the near future, will you still show mercy?"

"If I say that in the near future they will treat the Han people as cattle and sheep, and the land of China as pasture, raping and looting at will, and killing at will, will you regret your kindness today?"

The guilt on Xi Zhicai's face became more and more intense, especially when he recalled the bloody scene in a small town where he saw several pregnant women being raped to death by Wuhuan cavalry. He felt extremely ashamed.

Xi Zhicai is a smart man, he knows the reason why Ye Feng explained so much.

The guilt in his eyes became more and more intense. He knelt on the ground again and said sincerely: "My lord, I was wrong!"

"I am not qualified to ask for forgiveness, let alone plead for them."

"Repay blood with blood, and repay evil with evil. This is what should be done."

"If Youzhou has no lord, two million innocent people will fall into dire straits. Since they dare to go south, they should bear the wrath of China."

"Chen Tang once said, 'Whoever offends the Chinese will be punished no matter how far away they are!'"

"All Chinese people should never forget these words."

"The blood of our compatriots can only be repaid with the blood of our enemies."

"I was wrong!"

At this moment, Xi Zhicai was like a child who had done something wrong, with guilt and anxiety in his eyes.

This time Ye Feng did not ask him to stand up immediately. Instead, he looked at the three top counselors in front of him solemnly and said, "The territory of the empire I want to build is far greater than you can imagine. There will definitely be a lot of bones under my feet."

"If you have any kindness or mercy in your heart, you are destined not to be able to follow me to the end. Now I give you a chance to make a choice again."

"Leave or stay?"

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai said without hesitation: "We are willing to follow our lord, and go through fire and water. We will never regret it even if we are cursed for eternity."

Feeling the determined gazes of the three people, Ye Feng raised the corner of his mouth: "Everyone get up!"

"The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be left to future generations."

"As long as we have no regrets and are worthy of China, we can die with dignity."

"Boom."

Thunder rumbled, like a giant dragon roaring, and the colorful light in the sky once again gathered towards Ye Feng.

Jia Xu was shocked and said hesitantly, "This is... This is a gift from the countless wronged souls sleeping in the land of Youzhou. The dragon energy in my lord is even stronger."

Xi Zhicai was slightly stunned, and said faintly: "My lord's path is right." "I am not qualified to talk about forgiveness at all."

Guo Jia patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement: "Everyone makes mistakes. It is a great virtue to be able to correct your mistakes!"

After a long time, the colorful light dissipated. Feeling that the colorful dragon in his consciousness had grown several feet out of thin air, Ye Feng raised the corners of his mouth and opened his eyes again.

"It seems that our words have also been heard by the countless ancestors who are buried here."

"Next, I have another question for you three."

After these words were spoken, the three people's eyes became more solemn, especially Xi Zhicai.

"My Lord, please speak freely!"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What is the biggest trouble in conquering Wuhuan and Xiongnu?"

Xi Zhicai spoke decisively: "Food and grass!"

"It's easy to get lost on the grassland, and the food routes are prone to being attacked. The army only carries limited food and fodder, so it must be replenished."

"How to solve?"

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly: "Imitate the attack methods of Wuhuan and Xiongnu."

"The elite troops march forward, and each cavalryman is equipped with three horses. This way, the marching speed will be very fast, and the rations they carry can be increased several times without affecting the combat."

Ye Feng said: "You are right. There are only 30,000 elite cavalry and 60,000 war horses, which is already the limit. There is no such thing as 90,000 war horses."

"And I am only prepared to give you 40,000 war horses."

Seeing Xi Zhicai fall silent again, Guo Jia, who already understood Ye Feng's intention, couldn't wait to speak: "Wuhuan, the Xiongnu only brought half a month's worth of food and fodder with them when they went south. The rest of the food can be replenished as long as they capture a city."

"And the Lord has decided to stop the killing with killing. I think many stubborn people will definitely not agree to our conditions."

"Since you refuse to obey, you will die."

"Their rations will naturally become the rations of all our soldiers. This is as it should be."

"As for the war horses, as long as we destroy the Xiongnu army in Bingzhou, we will be able to gather 100,000 war horses, and the problem of carrying food and grass in advance will be solved."

Ye Feng clapped his hands and praised: "Feng Xiao knows my intention very well!"

"Zhicai, what do you think?"

Xi Zhicai said ashamedly: "I failed to think of this and I am ashamed of my lord's trust."

Ye Feng shook his head: "Your intelligence is no less than Guo Jia's, but there are still rules and invisible constraints in your mind. As soon as the thought came to this, you immediately retreated."

Xi Zhicai was very anxious: "My Lord, your teachings are still ringing in my ears, how could I forget them?"

Ye Feng waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know some of my ideas and practices can convince you, but it is more difficult to completely change your long-standing thinking habits."

"But I believe you can look beyond the problem and see the situation."

"Then you will no longer be swayed by established thinking."

"Now I only want to ask you one question: 'Is it possible to completely solve the problem of Wuhuan and Xiongnu' and save China from the danger in the north for hundreds of years?"

Xi Zhicai bowed solemnly and said in all seriousness: "I am willing to issue a military order. If you fail to pacify the northern border, trample the grasslands, and exterminate the nomadic peoples, you will be beheaded! ”

Ye Feng laughed: "Okay!"

"With your words, I feel at ease!"

"Bingzhou, the grassland is left to you."

"When you return from the south, I will personally welcome you back."
