Liu Ping led the Han army to fight against the Goths. In this tragic war, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Liu Ping led his troops to retreat to the riverside, and the Goths did not dare to approach too much. They formed a formation on the river and sent envoys to negotiate.

Liu Ping met the other party's envoy, but said nothing. He just ordered the soldiers to defend strictly.

The Gothic messenger expressed his willingness to give up the attack and was willing to compensate Liu Ping for gold and silver.

However, Liu Ping refused, and he asked the other party to get out immediately!

"You want to fight?"

"So what? We can conquer the Han Kingdom again."

"Just you guys?"

"Of course, it will be enough for a few months. By then, the entire East will become our territory!"

"Haha...you really know how to brag. Do you have the ability to do it?"

"Don't you believe it?"

"Isn't it? You can't even protect your own city!"

"We have built the city wall! Very strong city wall."

"Who are you lying to?"

"How could I lie to you?"

"Then open the city gate and let me see."

"When you see it, you believe in our strength?"

"Nonsense! Of course I believe it! If that's not the case, why would I come to negotiate with you?"

"So, I agree to your request."

Liu Ping agreed to the request for peace talks. Then, the Goths withdrew their troops.

Liu Ping ordered people to open the city gate and welcome the other party's envoy.

"What's your name?" Liu Ping asked.

"My name is Balsky, and I am the prince of the Gothic state."

"Balsky? This name is quite special."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Now let's discuss something."

"What's up?"

"I hope you will leave here as soon as possible and never take a step to the east. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"What did you say? You actually want to drive us away?"

"Yes, drive you away! Because we have decided to destroy you. So, I advise you to be more sensible!"

"Hmph! Do you know what kind of existence we are?"

"Are you referring to you Goths?"

"Of course, we have powerful power. And we have tens of thousands of elites."

"Do you think these are your support? I tell you, this is nothing at all. You are not worth mentioning in my eyes. I can even destroy you easily!"

"You are too arrogant. We Goths are not afraid of any enemies."

"Since that's the case, let's start."

"Wait!" Balsky stopped Liu Ping, "You want to kill all of us?"

"Yes, you must die. Because you threaten the interests of our Han country."

"The interests of the Han people? You know the power of our Goths, so you should understand that you cannot be our opponents. Now, we are willing to withdraw our troops, but you have regretted it. Then, use your blood to wash away this shame!"

"Haha... you do have some ability, but this does not mean that you are invincible in the world. Do you think you have thousands of warriors in the world? You are wrong! There is an old saying by the Han people: Thirty years Hexi, Thirty years Hedong! Now, you Goths have been defeated, but we have won! You lost so much, and your country is occupied by us. So, from now on, you are only worthy of hiding in the mountains and forests to survive! Your culture and technology will be lost! And we will replace you! Do you think this situation is suitable for continuing to fight?"

"We are a country of brothers. You Han people are despicable villains!"

"Haha, you are the real despicable and shameless! You actually invaded us! Our people are wandering on the wasteland, hungry and cold. But you Goths enjoy wealth and wealth and live a life of luxury. What qualifications do you have to call a country of brothers?"

"Nonsense! We are just staying with you, our ancestors have never done anything like that!"

"You're still quibbling?"

"You Han people are not kind, so don't blame us for being unrighteous!"

The two quarreled for a long time. Finally, Liu Ping couldn't help but get angry and drew his sword and stabbed Balsky!

Barsky was frightened and he hurriedly dodged.

Liu Ping took the opportunity to pursue him, but Balsky couldn't escape. He was pierced by Liu Ping's throat with a sword.

Barsky died, full of anger. Before he died, he shouted this: "Han people! You will regret it!"

After hearing this, Liu Ping sneered.

After Barsky's death, Liu Ping summoned the army and announced the plan to attack the Goths. At the same time, Liu Ping also issued a new policy - exemption from taxes for five years every year and paying 50,000 jin of taxes to the Han people every year! In addition, the Han people can use wooden weapons made by the Goths for free!

As soon as such a treaty was released, it immediately caused an uproar. Although Liu Ping made it clear that the Han people would not provoke the Goths on their own initiative, the Goths would not sit idly by. Therefore, they had to take the initiative!

However, the Gothic army had just taken action and encountered resistance from the Han army!

The Han army was ready to go! Before Liu Ping issued the order, they had already ambushed and were waiting for the Goths to take the bait.

The Goths broke through the Han army's obstacles. However, this was just the beginning. The main force of the Han army quickly surrounded them and began to massacre!

Although the Goths' cavalry were fierce, the Han army's crossbows were even sharper! Under the intensive firepower of the Han army, the Goths suffered heavy losses!

The officers of the Han army personally climbed the city to command the battle.

Balsky's younger brother Alekstavitz also came to the Gothic camp.

"Brother, why are you here?" asked Barsky's father.

"I'm worried that something will happen to you, so I come to support you."

"Brother, there are 200,000 troops here, and it's not your turn to intervene!"

"But I heard that Liu Chuang is here. If he comes, I'm afraid..."

"Hmph! Liu Chuang? I want to see how powerful he is! Brother, I want you to help me kill Liu Chuang!"

Alekstavitz was silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled out his waist knife and cut off Balsky's neck with one knife!

...

In Liu Chuang's opinion, this war was without any suspense. The Gothic army was defeated under the iron hooves of the Han army!

However, the Goths were also very tenacious. They fought to the death.

The battle was fought until dusk, and more than 40% of the Goths' army had suffered casualties. The remaining army fled south under the leadership of Alekstavitz. Liu Chuang led the troops, and the defeat of the enemy did not pursue them. Because the victory or defeat of this battle was destined, he did not need to continue pursuing them.

"Lord, have we let them go like that?"

"Yes. The Goths are wild and hard to tame. If they are not punished severely, they may cause a disaster!

Besides, we can exchange these treasures for the Goths after we get them, so why not do it?”

This is Liu Chuang’s idea.

When the others heard this, they nodded one after another.

...

The actions of the Han army quickly alarmed other princes.

All the princes sent scouts to the Goth camp to investigate the news.

When all the princes learned that the Goths were defeated and the Han people won the battle, they were shocked.

"Liu Chuang actually won?"

"This is impossible! The Goths have an army of 50,000, so how could they be defeated by the Han people?"

"Yes, Liu Chuang's total soldiers are only 30,000 to 40,000. How could he beat the Goths?"

"No matter what, if the Han people win, the Goths will definitely not be willing to give up. I guess they should take revenge."

The princes from all walks of life whispered, but no one dared to stand up and speak for the Han army. After all, the strength of the Goths is here. Who dares to provoke them?

Of course, Liu Chuang would not be stupid enough to wait for the Goths to come and cause trouble.

So, he immediately organized troops to invade the Gothic villages, burn, kill and loot!

The Goths were used to being at peace under the Han Dynasty. Even though some natives were a bit wild, they had never seen the world. Besides, they did not expect the Han army to attack. As a result, the Goths' villages were destroyed and dozens of families were killed by the Han army. The entire village became corpses everywhere.

The Han army was very disciplined. After the killing was completed, they immediately evacuated the Gothic villages.

Then, Liu Chuang focused his target on the Goths' residence in Hanzhong, which is Barack's lair.
