The worst scenario did not occur.
The Tatar and Gaoche tribes often clash with the Rouran, occasionally going to war. Now that the Rouran Khan is in the hands of the Da Liang court as a hostage, they are eager to watch the drama unfold, with no intention of sending troops at all.
The Rouran tribe, however, put up a fierce resistance. As the army penetrated deep into the grassland, they encountered continuous attacks from the tribes. All were easily exterminated by the troops led by the Left General.
The march was accompanied by slaughter, eliminating at least a dozen tribal cavalry.
The blood of the Rouran Barbarians soaked the grassland. The vast grassland was finally quelled by this iron-fisted approach and fell completely silent.
The grassland is so vast that if the Rouran tribe intentionally hides, the Da Liang Army would find it nearly impossible to track them. This is the first deep incursion into the grassland by Da Liang in its two-hundred-year history.
