Chapter 163 The War Against the Northern Barbarians Ends
"It seems that none of you have anything to say."
"By my decree, except for the Barbarian King, the Left Wise King, and a few Grandmasters, leave no one alive."
Qin Wu looked at the Northern Barbarian King and the others below who remained silent, and directly issued an order.
The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army obeyed the order without hesitation, immediately gagged the man, and took him away.
Before long, the soldiers who carried out the order returned to the main hall.
"Your Highness, they have all been executed."
"Okay, take them away and bring them back when we go back."
Qin Wu waved his hand, and ordered his soldiers to take the man away.
He wasn't worried about them escaping, since he had already crippled them all.
They can no longer stir up any trouble.
After the others were led away, Qin Wu glanced at the generals present.
"You should divide your forces! Take over the entire Northern Barbarian lands as quickly as possible. Don't kill everyone this time. His Majesty wants these people to build cities and completely control the entire Northern Barbarian lands."
Qin Wu gave instructions to his generals.
"Yes, I'll understand later."
The generals accepted the order.
"Go!"
Qin Wu waved.
The generals withdrew.
"Liu Yu, has the Western Zhou made any moves?"
After the generals left, Qin Wu finally spoke up and asked Liu Yu below.
"No action has been taken yet. The snow has only recently melted, and they haven't had time to make a move."
Liu Yu reported.
They now keep in touch almost daily.
They were very clear about the situation on the border between the Western Zhou and the Northern Barbarians.
"Yes, keep an eye on it. The matter with the Northern Barbarians is almost settled. It's no problem to leave it to them. I also need to prepare to return to the capital. Those rats in the capital have started jumping around again after I left."
Qin Wu said calmly.
He has received quite a few messages from Jiang Pingle during this period.
His imperial brothers even set their sights on the northern barbarians, wanting to come and get a share of the spoils.
After all, the wealth that Qin Wu sent back after his expedition to the Northern Barbarians was so great that no one could remain unmoved.
Furthermore, the Northern Barbarians had been beaten so badly that they were almost powerless to resist, and they didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.
However, there is no need for them to fight anymore.
No one expected that Qin Wu would conquer the Northern Barbarians so quickly, shattering their dream of getting a share of the spoils.
"Your Highness, it is indeed time to return. Should we send the battle report back first? Otherwise, those gentlemen have been requesting reinforcements at every morning court session recently, and some even want to personally lead troops to the Northern Barbarians."
Liu Yu said.
These are the kinds of reports that have been coming in from the capital every day for the past few days.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin has made it clear that he has refused, but none of the others have given up.
"A bunch of clowns, wanting to take advantage of the situation. Why didn't they volunteer to lead troops when there was such a good opportunity? Now they want to steal the fruits of victory. They are really delusional."
Qin Wu sneered.
He knew all too well what kind of people they were.
"Send the battle report back! After things are settled here in a few days, I will set off for the capital."
Qin Wu then spoke a few more words to Liu Yu before dismissing her.
In the following days, Qin Wu was exceptionally busy, as he had to arrange everything properly before leaving.
Also, when he leaves this time, he needs to make a complete inventory of everything he takes with him.
This busy period lasted for half a month.
When Qin Wu left, there were thousands of carriages carrying the spoils of war.
This shows just how much Qin Wu and his team gained this time.
The battle report has been delivered to the capital of Eastern Qin.
Upon receiving the battle report, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was overjoyed and immediately bestowed countless fine things upon the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion in the imperial court.
The princes were so envious they were practically envious.
They're truly insanely jealous this time.
Thinking about the things Qin Wu sent back before the New Year, they became even more jealous.
Unfortunately, their dream of getting a share of the profits has been completely shattered.
Because the Northern Barbarian royal court has now fallen, all the high-ranking officials of the Northern Barbarians have been captured, and the Divine Martial King is on his way back to the capital.
Two months later.
Qin Wu finally returned to the capital.
This time, just like before, officials went out of the city for 30 li to welcome him.
Not only officials, but also ordinary people came to greet them on their own initiative.
For them, the defeat of the Northern Barbarians was a greater joy for the people than the destruction of the Southern Qi dynasty.
The enmity between the Northern Barbarians and the Eastern Qin over the past few centuries has run too deep.
Countless people's relatives died under the swords of the northern barbarians.
It can be said that many people in Dongqin have a deep-seated hatred for the Northern Barbarians, and they want to destroy them at all times.
Now their wish has finally come true.
They had finally waited for this day.
All of this was done for them by their Divine Martial King; this revenge was avenged for them by the Divine Martial King.
Therefore, almost all the people of the capital came to welcome them.
After returning to the capital, Qin Wu had a private conversation with the Emperor of Eastern Qin for an hour before going directly back to his residence.
As for the victory banquet, Qin Wu was in no hurry; he planned to hold it after the rest of the soldiers returned.
After all, there are still many tribes in the Northern Barbarians that have not been conquered, and it will take some time.
However, the Eastern Qin Emperor has already begun preparing various materials for city construction, planning to build five cities in the Northern Barbarian lands, distributed in four directions, to guard the entire Northern Barbarian region.
As for other places, they will become horse ranches for the Eastern Qin, which will provide enough warhorses for the entire Eastern Qin in the future, allowing the Eastern Qin to have a large number of cavalry.
When Qin Wu returned to the capital, it meant that the war against the northern barbarians was essentially over.
