Chapter 344: Chasing

The Donghu elites were basically wiped out, leaving only the more than 1,000 Donghu king riders in front of them. The other fleeing Donghu soldiers and slaves, without horses and supplies, where can they escape to?

"Kai'er, leave these Donghu king riders to me, you and Yu Shusheng go back first! Now that the Donghu king is dead, the Donghu elites have almost all died under the Leopard Jade Pass, and no one can stop the Qinglong Corps." Hua Zichen looked at Hua Kai and said.

Hua Kai also wanted to watch the Donghu king riders being wiped out bit by bit, but it really didn't make much sense for him to stay here. The Qinglong Corps would not be afraid even if they encountered the foundation building realm again, and no one in the Donghu country could pose a threat to it.

"Okay, then you be careful, I'm worried that the Zhu, Feng, and Gongsun families may help the Donghu country when they see the Donghu king fall. At that time, Fifth Uncle, you should make peace with them more. The Hua family only wants the land in the mountains north of Gaoliu County. Anyone who dares to step in is the enemy of the Hua family. I believe they dare not offend us." Hua Kai instructed Hua Zichen.

"I know. Donghu will definitely move north after this battle. No one can take away the territory conquered by our Hua family. The Zhu, Wang and other noble families... they may still be thinking about Yan! When we occupy the entire southwest of Donghu, it will be difficult for them to react." Hua Zichen said.

The most fertile grasslands in Donghu are in the southwest and east. After the Hua family took over the southwest, the tribes of Donghu decided to migrate to the northeast. They suffered a great loss at the hands of the Hua family. It is estimated that they will not have the courage to move south in a hundred years.

There are many countries in the northeast of Donghu. The strength of Jurchen, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu and others should not be underestimated. Without the foundation-building realm, the division of Donghu can be imagined.

Hua Kai, Wuren Tuya and Yu Jun returned to Baoyuguan in just three hours. Outside Baoyuguan, there were corpses of Donghu people everywhere. Some of the corpses looked charred. They were the unlucky ones who were killed in the explosion center.

Hua Kai asked Yu Jun to burn all the bodies quickly. He entered Baoyu Pass and saw that there were heads everywhere. The Hua family was now focused on chasing the Donghu deserters, ignoring the management of the soldiers, militia, and slave soldiers in Baoyu Pass. Some of them took the prisoners to the barracks or the parade grounds. Many prisoners may have died due to serious illness.

More than 100,000 people were crowded in the small Baoyu Pass. Some people saw that there were too many people in Baoyu Pass and were waiting in the grasslands south of the pass. After Hua Kai came back, he asked the Suzaku Corps to escort all the prisoners to the south of the pass, set up a temporary prisoner camp for them, and let the Suzaku Corps temporarily manage the slaves.

There are only more than 1,000 Suzaku Corps soldiers, more than 1,000 Xuanwu Corps soldiers, and less than 2,000 White Tiger Corps (plus the reserve corps) soldiers in Baoyu Pass. The rest are more than 10,000 militia.

These more than 4,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 militiamen had to manage more than 30,000 slave soldiers and more than 70,000 prisoners of war, and they had to maintain the public order of Baoyu Pass. Thanks to Hua Kai and Yu Jun's timely return, otherwise there would be no one in charge of the entire Baoyu Pass, and it would be a big deal if it was really chaotic.

Hua Kai asked the housekeeper Hua Fu to bring 3,000 Hua family servants through the [Family Space], otherwise these prisoners of war would become a big trouble.

Time passed quickly. Wu Ren Tuya checked the buildings inside Baoyu Pass every day. She was very curious about these buildings built with wood and stone. Hua Kai was very busy every day. She rode [Cloud Leopard] alone on the street and became the most beautiful scenery in Baoyu Pass.

For three consecutive days, the Qinglong Reserve Corps and other Gaoliu City cavalry came back one after another, and they came back with a large number of prisoners. On the afternoon of the third day, Hua Mo came back with hundreds of Qinglong Reserve Corps teenagers, and almost all the Donghu soldiers who escaped from Baoyu Pass were caught.

With the existence of the Azure Dragon Reserve Corps, the entire Baoyu Pass has become more orderly. The Suzaku Corps and the militia are sending prisoners to Gaoliu City little by little, but all the slave soldiers and prisoners of war above the Qidong Realm are left behind by Hua Kai.

Now the population problem in Gaoliu County is becoming more and more serious. With the nearly 100,000 slaves captured this time, the number of slaves in Gaoliu County has exceeded 200,000, and the population of the entire Gaoliu County plus Beishan is less than 500,000, including more than 200,000 new people in Beishan.

If these more than 400,000 slaves are not digested, the Hua family will be indigestion and their energy will be tied up. So after discussing with the family members, Hua Kai has the following plan.

The first is to give merit to all the slave soldiers who participated in the war this time. Those who perform well will be given freedom as long as their loyalty exceeds 50 points. They can become civilians in Gaoliu County in the future.

Second, all slaves who have worked in Gaoliu City and Baoyuguan for more than one year and whose loyalty reaches 60 points will be given a year of "free citizen" probation time. As long as he does not violate all the regulations of the Hua family in the next year, he can become a civilian in Gaoliu City. And he can temporarily enjoy civilian rights during the probation period.

Third, prisoners of war above Kaiyuan Realm will be assigned to the four major legions to establish a separate battalion. If they make meritorious contributions in the future, they can quickly become legion soldiers.

Hua Kai counted all the captives this time, 3 in the Xiantian Realm, 291 in the Lianqi Realm, 6197 in the Qidong Realm, and 34285 in the Kaiyuan Realm. All the Xiantian Realm and the Lianqi Realm will be taken to Huacheng by Hua Kai, and Hua Kai will send them to the [Tianma Field] there, and then slowly cultivate their loyalty.

Qidong Realm and some Kaiyuan Realm youths with good qualifications will be sent to the "Gaoliu County Ideological Education College" for study, and then choose whether to send them to the legion or Huacheng according to their loyalty and qualifications.

Most of the Kaiyuan Realm, that is really looking for a death squad for the four major legions. This time, facing the Donghu army of more than 300,000, if the Hua family had established a Kaiyuan Realm death squad earlier, the four legions would not have suffered such heavy casualties.

Hua Kai planned to give each of the four legions 4,000 Kaiyuan Realm prisoners of war, all of which would be managed by the reserve group first. The remaining 18,000 were divided equally among Gaoliu City, Baoyu Pass, Huacheng, and Beishan, so that all impacts could be minimized.

It took Hua Kai half a month to distribute all the prisoners of war. The Suzaku Legion, the Xuanwu Legion, and the militia group had all returned to Gaoliu City. 20,000 of the 30,000 slave soldiers became new civilians in Baoyu Pass, and the 100,000 new prisoners of war also went to where they should go. Baoyu Pass finally no longer seemed so crowded.

Hua Kai was so busy in the past half month that he didn't even have time to accompany Wu Ren Tu Ya. After he investigated the more than 30,000 slave soldiers in Bao Yuguan, he asked people to quietly kill all the slave soldiers with loyalty below -20. After so long, they still couldn't cultivate loyalty. Keeping them would be a threat. Gao Liujun is now most afraid of sudden riots, so Hua Kai can only get rid of these people cruelly.

After selecting the slave soldiers of Bao Yuguan, Hua Kai returned to Gao Liucheng and selected the 50,000 slaves here. About 20,000 slaves became "preparatory civilians", and more than 100 people were solved because of their low loyalty. In this way, the population ratio of Gao Liucheng finally looks much better.

Hua Kai knew that the next few years would be the time for the Hua family to digest the results. The problem of Donghu Kingdom was completely solved. No one would dare to challenge the Hua family on this land. Yan, Qi, Zhao and other countries are now focusing on the Central Plains, so they don't want to have trouble in their backyard at this time.

In early August, Hua Kai was checking the post-war data of the battle with the Donghu Kingdom in Baoyu Pass. Because the Hua family suffered huge losses and spoils, the post-war statistics took more than half a month.

5,702 regular soldiers of the Hua family above Kaiyuan Realm were killed, including 614 from the Azure Dragon Legion, 2,108 from the White Tiger Legion, 1,845 from the Vermillion Bird Legion, and 1,134 from the Black Tortoise Legion. Except for the Azure Dragon Legion, the other three legions suffered heavy losses, especially the White Tiger Legion, which lost more than 60% of its main force.

Hua Kai treated the injured regular soldiers with all his strength, and each of them was given a [Rejuvenation Pill], and as long as they were not missing arms or legs, they could return to the legion in the end.

In addition, more than 10,000 militiamen were killed, more than 30,000 slave soldiers were lost, and there were also many disabled people. The total loss of the Hua family's troops was close to 50,000.

The loss of personnel was the largest. The Hua family's arrows, rolling logs, and stones seemed to cost a lot, but with [Spirit Shells], these materials were no more than 100 gold at most, which was not as valuable as the more than 100 war horses lost.

Compared with the losses, the Hua family's seizure this time can be said to be unexpected.

Among the more than 100,000 prisoners of war, 60,000 were Donghu slave soldiers. They were originally civilians plundered from Gaoliu City or Yan State. Although they are mentally abnormal now, as long as they rest in Gaoliu County for a few years, they will surely become the main force for the future development of the Hua family.

In addition to slaves, there are cattle, sheep, horses, weapons, equipment, and siege equipment. More than 50,000 cattle and sheep were originally food for the Donghu army, but they ended up being seized by the Hua family. More than 56,000 war horses, this number is more than double the total number of all war horses in Gaoliu City, which made Gaoliu County suddenly change from a lack of horses to a territory with surplus horses.

The last weapons, equipment and siege equipment were also a very large number of seizures. With some good weapons and armor, they can supplement the three legions (the Qinglong Legion doesn't want them), as well as the militia and slave teams, and their value exceeds ten thousand gold.

After reading the post-war report, Hua Kai heard the maid outside the courtyard come in. It was a special servant of the Hua family in Gaoliu City.

The other party told Hua Kai that King Lu had arrived in Gaoliu City, and he brought a lot of spiritual medicines and strange stones, including the [Moyu Huixin Vine] that Hua Kai had been looking forward to for a long time.

Hua Kai and Wu Ren Tuya returned to Gaoliu City, and the news spread throughout Gaoliu City as soon as they entered the inner city. Everyone knew that Hua Kai brought back a fairy riding a spirit leopard, and this girl was very likely the mistress of the entire Gaoliu County.

Before entering the Huafu family, Hua Kai saw his mother Huang Shuyun coming out with a group of servants and maids. She was a little scared when she saw Wu Ren Tuya riding [Clouded Leopard] beside Hua Kai. Wu Ren Tuya got off the [Clouded Leopard] and let it stay aside.

Hua Kai imagined how happy his mother would be when she saw him bringing his wife home, but the reality was not the case.

Huang Shuyun looked at Wu Ren Tuya and did not dare to move forward, as if she was afraid that she would affect the other party if she got close.

"She is more beautiful than the fairies in the paintings! Please come in. I'm sorry that my home is not so nice. My son doesn't like living in a palace, so the Hua family only built a mansion in Gaoliu City!" Huang Shuyun seemed to be afraid that the Hua family would be disliked for not building a palace, so she explained first.
