Chapter 91 Gender of Sin 91
In recent years, Da Ran has established many mutual markets facing the grasslands, but the busiest and largest are still those outside Feiying Pass and the border city within the pass.
Now, these pastoral tribes are incredibly enthusiastic about Da Ran’s common people. They have completely adapted to herding cattle and sheep and then using wool, dairy products, and the much-needed beef of Da Ran to exchange for necessary resources. Moreover, the wealthy individuals and nobles who own more cattle and sheep have also learned to purchase Da Ran’s luxury goods. Many tribes on the grassland are now inseparable from these mutual markets established by Da Ran.
However, these tribes do not include the barbarians! It must be said that the barbarians are like wolves that can never be satisfied. Even when mutual markets have made their lives much better, the barbarians never abandon their desire to invade Da Ran.
Especially in recent years, almost all tribes on the grassland other than the barbarians have befriended Da Ran. Even some small tribes of barbarians have secretly established good relations with Da Ran, making the barbarian Khan extremely dissatisfied. In the past two years, he has frequently dispatched soldiers to harass the borders, and the forces sent are becoming stronger each time.
For some reason, the Emperor, who initially dealt swiftly with the barbarians upon ascending the throne, has not yet mobilized against them. Since beginning the establishment of mutual markets, he has been enduring the small skirmishes from the barbarians.
This patience lasted for eight years, until a year after the Supreme Emperor passed away, the Emperor suddenly issued a decree, appointing General Qi as the commander and sending an army to punish the barbarians who repeatedly violated the borders!
The Emperor launched this campaign with great fanfare, dispatching more than ten generals and an army of 400,000 soldiers. They allied with the Zhenla Clan and Zhenling Clan, who were already discontent with the barbarian cruelty due to trade in wool and dairy products with Da Ran, and defeated the barbarians, causing them to flee with their heads in their hands!
This battle was splendidly fought by General Qi. With strong support from the Emperor, they completely destroyed the largest tribe of the barbarians, executing all barbarian nobles. Only some small barbarian tribes willing to submit to Da Ran were spared!
