Li Shaoyi was somewhat surprised by the situation. After all, we had just occupied this place for two days, and Sukhbaru had only been in contact with these tribal leaders for less than five hours. In such a short period of time, these people were about to submit their surrender. Wasn't it developing too fast?

"Ever since they started clamoring for independence, the pride of the grassland people has vanished. The glory Genghis Khan once brought them now exists only in their minds. As long as they can survive, these people don't care who they bow to, nor how many times they bow."

Natasha reminded Li Shaoyi from the side not to be too sincere to these people, otherwise he would get hurt in the future.

After hearing what Natasha said, Li Shaoyi understood what was going on. He walked over and asked everyone to stand up. He casually flipped through the account book and then said a few words to comfort them.

"The last time you visited the Rakshasa like this, how did he treat you?"

The foreign Xiongnu nobles present felt relieved when they saw Li Shaoyi's friendly attitude, but when Li Shaoyi said this, they instantly became nervous.

Seeing that these people did not answer, Li Shaoyi turned to look at Sukhbaru next to him and said, "Either you answer now, or you queue up with these people."

"The Rakshasas demanded that we give up one-third of all our property, including livestock, gold and silver."

Sukhbaru said this without any hesitation. After he finished speaking, he pointed to the distance, where Sukhbaru's tribesmen were.

In the land of Outer Xiongnu, the prince is the biggest slave owner here, and the tribal leaders and ministers below are smaller slave owners. Each of them has his own pasture and slaves.

"I have ordered them to be prepared. This is all my property and livestock."

Sukhbaru did not discuss this with Li Shaoyi, but he knew some of Li Shaoyi's previous ways of doing things, so he simply took out everything. Anyway, he was going to be sent to the Northeast, and he didn't know whether he would be dead or alive there, so he just followed Li Shaoyi from then on.

What's more, according to the rules of the grassland, when one side is defeated, everything you have becomes the spoils of the other side.

"Very good, take all your things back. This is also a reward for you. As for you, take out everything you should take according to the requirements of the Rakshasa. If you take less, I will not guarantee your safety."

It does not involve the issue of interests, it is just an attitude. Li Shaoyi's face is full of warm sunshine, but if it is real interests, not a single penny can be missed.

What's more, you nobles are not good people. You get your wealth by exploiting others. Do I have to lose money when I come here to fight?

What's more, Li Shaoyi also understood one thing: the reason why the Russians scared them was because they were more brutal. You can also win people over with virtue, but that is a matter for the future.

So that you won’t think I’m easy to bully!

No one expected that coming here to meet Li Shaoyi would result in such a result. They thought that if they took the initiative, Li Shaoyi might reward them, but they did not expect that Li Shaoyi, like those Rakshasas, would ask them to give out one-third of their property.

Watching these people leave dejectedly, Li Shaoyi was speechless. "Do you really think that just because you're nice, the occupiers are like one family? You think too simply of us."

"Among them, there must be quite a few who tipped off the Rakshasa people, right?"

Li Shaoyi saw Sukhbaru looking at these people in a daze, and knew that he was also feeling bad. Now Sukhbaru is not completely our man, but when he picks up the butcher knife and kills his compatriots, he will become our complete tool.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Sukhbaru said with some difficulty.

"There are some truths I shouldn't tell you. You know it yourself. The Outer Xiongnu are sandwiched between the Luosha people and us, and they can only side with one side. If they try to sit on the fence, the end result will be that they will all be wiped out."

Before leaving, Li Shaoyi patted the guy on the shoulder and said, "What should we do next? That's up to you."

Sukhbaru looked at Li Shaoyi meaningfully. The glory of the Outer Xiongnu's history would probably never be realized. Now they could only side with one side...

"Sir, I've arrived at your guard unit to collect my weapons. Shall I go now?"

I don’t know how much time had passed, but everyone around had left. Two people came on horseback from a distance. These two people were Huns like them, but the difference was that they did not live on the grasslands of the Outer Huns, but on the grasslands of the Inner Huns.

When entering the land of the Outer Xiongnu, Li Shaoyi temporarily recruited two thousand people from the Inner Xiongnu grasslands. Anyway, their language and living customs were similar, so it would be a good idea to let these people influence and manage the Outer Xiongnu people.

"Come on, Bayantu, you said your tribe is living better now than before?"

Sukhbaru suddenly remembered this incident.

"Of course we're living well. We used to pay so much tax that we could barely breathe. Now it's only one-tenth of what we paid. Everyone's living a much better life now. They've also taught us a lot of things we didn't know before, like grazing, where you can farm one pasture a year and save that pasture the next. There are a lot of other things we didn't know before..."

Bayantu thought of the changes in his hometown and told them everything. When the superiors were arranging people, they also arranged this upright man to follow Sukhbaru.

Sukhbaru is a smart man. If another smart person is assigned to him, it might cause trouble. It is better to assign a real person who he can believe what he says.

"By the way, you said you got married before you went to war?"

Sukhbaru thought of another thing. In their Outer Xiongnu land, the sons of such herdsmen could hardly get married, unless there was a war and the number of males in the tribe was greatly reduced.

"I know what you mean. Someone like me should be single for life, but I joined the 72nd Division. I'm a regular soldier. I earn six dollars a month, and my brother is in the security corps. Three months' salary for the two of us is enough for me to get married."

Bayantu said proudly, if it weren't for Chief Li, how could he have the opportunity to talk to a noble like this? He would be whipped by the noble and doubt his life...
