The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Chapter 705 Chu Luen, you really dare to say that!

Wu Ce responded frankly to Chu Luen's words: "Chu Luen, you are right. It is indeed thanks to Jia Tisi that our Great Jing was able to win this battle."

Chu Luen said calmly, "You've come here now simply to humiliate me! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Just kill me!"

"Let me go see the Eternal Heaven!"

Chu Luen was completely powerless, which made him think he was crippled.

Now that he's become a useless person, he doesn't want to live anymore.

Besides, most of the 500,000-strong army was wiped out this time, and he didn't know what happened to the remaining tribesmen. As the general in charge, he had no face to go back to see his tribesmen on the grassland!

"Don't worry, we won't kill you," Jia Daoshi said with a faint smile.

Chu Luen is really not worth his time.

"Not kill me? Then you can forget about getting any secrets out of me!" Chu Luen immediately realized Jia Daoshi's intentions.

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "Prince Chu, you're overthinking it. I already know everything about the inner workings of your Kushan Empire. The secrets you know, we already know them all!"

Chu Luen was initially stunned when he heard Jia Daoshi's words.

But he quickly realized what was happening!

Within the clan, who can freely travel between the Great Jing and the Golden Horde royal court?

Whose whereabouts are most suspicious?

Who has the highest skill level and can reach the high-ranking members of the royal court?

There was only one person—Sirius!

All the intelligence the Kushan Empire had about the Cliff City came from Sirius!

All of this intelligence turned out to be wrong!

Not only did they know nothing about Cliff City, they even spread some incorrect information!

If they had known that Cliff City possessed such powerful weapons and heavily armored cavalry, they certainly wouldn't have attacked rashly.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

"So, you just want to see how pathetic I am, to satisfy your vain, superiority complex! Isn't that right!" Chu Luen's voice was filled with anger.

Jia Daoshi shrugged: "To be honest, I don't like looking at men, I like looking at beautiful women."

"I've come here today to do a business deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Luen sneered: "A deal? What deal?"

Jia Daoshi cut to the chase: "I want you to go back and become the Great Khan!"

Hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Chu Luen was taken aback, but quickly understood what Jia Daoshi meant. He laughed loudly and said, "Jia Tisi, I know what you mean. You want me to betray the Eternal Heaven and help you rule the grasslands! How absurd! I, Chu Luen, will never kneel before a Great Jing! Forget about it! Even if I die, I will never betray my people!"

Jia Daoshi seemed to have anticipated Chu Luen's answer. He then shook his head and sighed, "You want to die? That's easy! Chu Luen, have you thought about what will happen to your family if you die? What will happen to your relatives and clansmen? And what about the prisoners I captured?"

"You probably don't know the exact number of casualties you suffered in the Battle of Cliff City, do you? Of your 500,000 troops, I annihilated 300,000 and captured 100,000. The remaining remnants should have fled back to the grasslands. If I were to send troops to the grasslands now, how long do you think those remnants could hold me off?"

After hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Chu Luen's face immediately darkened.

During the battle of Furong Gorge, he fought outside the gorge until he finally lost consciousness, so he didn't know what the final outcome was.

Of the 500,000 troops, a full 300,000 died!

What kind of number is this?!

Moreover, they captured 100,000!

If the Great Jing Dynasty were to march north at this time, what would the Kushan Empire use to stop it?

The tribes on the grasslands were originally very scattered, and the 500,000 people they could muster were their entire fighting force!

This battle can be described as a battle that gambled the fate of the nation!

If, as the princess said before, they can successfully capture Juebi City and then take Youzhou County of Dajing, they can use Youzhou County as a springboard to take over the northwest and southwest of Dajing, and finally have their own city. They will no longer have to live in tents and relocate several times a year.

Therefore, all the tribes on the grassland were filled with anticipation for this mission.

I originally thought that with the Great Jing Dynasty plagued by internal strife and its power greatly diminished, taking over Youzhou Prefecture would be a piece of cake!

Who could have imagined that it would end like this!

With 400,000 fewer able-bodied men, the strength of the various tribes on the grasslands will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the remaining forces among the tribes may even fight amongst themselves for resources!

That will be the true end of the Kushan Empire!

In addition, in the northwest of the Kushan Empire, adjacent to the Wolf Tribe, there is also the Jingjue King!

This time, the King of Jingjue did not travel south with them.

Moreover, the King of Jingjue has always coveted the Queen's body. If he knew that the Wolf Tribe had suffered a great defeat, he would definitely lead a rebellion and send troops to attack the Golden Horde!

At that time, all the women in the tribe will surely be captured and enslaved!

Thinking of this series of terrible consequences, Chu Luen felt like he was being roasted on a fire.

Seeing Chu Luen's constantly changing expressions, Jia Daoshi knew that the other party's mentality had begun to collapse.

Therefore, Jia Daoshi turned his head and signaled Wu Ce and the other two to refrain from speaking for the time being.

After a moment, Chu Luen took a deep breath: "If I agree to cooperate with you, will you let me return to the grasslands with 100,000 prisoners?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dapeng immediately jumped up: "Chu Luen, you really dare to say that!"

Jia Daoshi also shook his head: "No."

Chu Luen sneered: "No? If you can't, why are you wasting your time here?"

Jia Daoshi said calmly, “I can’t release you all, but there’s one thing I can promise you. You want Youzhou County, right? I can let your Wolf Tribe relocate there as a whole. Also, among these prisoners, as long as they are members of your Wolf Tribe and are obedient and behave well, I can arrange for them to meet with their families.”

“Even living together is not out of the question.”

Chu Luen was completely stunned when he heard this.

Their purpose in attacking the cliff city was to allow their entire clan to relocate south.

They settled in Youzhou County and no longer lived by chasing after water and grass!

If what this guy is saying is true, it's not necessarily a bad thing!

At least for them right now, it's a good thing!

Otherwise, the wolf tribe, having sent out its entire horde, would be left with only the elderly, women, and children. If they were to face the King of Jingjue, they would be at his mercy!

Arriving in Youzhou County would at least allow them to escape the King of Jingjue!
