Hanhou

The Huyan Department acted quickly. More than 200 people organized, jumped on the recovered horses, and drove all the way to find Youxian King's headquarters as quickly as possible, and reported the news that the tribe was robbed and the Xianbei colluded with the Han people.

They can't make it if they don't want to.

The tribe was looted continuously, and the food that was not taken away was also burned in the fire. The cattle and sheep were scattered on the grassland, and the number that could be recovered was really limited. It was a problem for everyone to eat.

The tribal warriors have not returned, and it is still unknown how much the spoils will be.

The Han riders were able to go to the hinterland of the grassland to plunder, and the people of the Huyan tribe were a little uncertain about whether the southward journey would go smoothly.Even more pessimistic thoughts, if the benefits are not reaped, you may lose troops and generals.

In this case, if you don't find a backer quickly, with the current population and cattle and sheep, you can't survive the harsh winter at all.

Worried about being killed by the Han army and Xianbei, everyone in the Huyan tribe could only travel day and night, and along the way, they relied on eating raw meat and drinking raw blood to replenish their physical strength.

After listening to the tribe's statement, the priest's face sank like water.

"Xianbei colluded with the Han people? Can you see which Xianbei movie it is?"

Hu Yanbumin, you look at me, I look at you, at that time only thinking about fighting, there was no time to confirm.However, the leather robes and hats of the Xianbei people cannot be faked. Before coming, some tribesmen dug through the ruins and found several bone knives and burnt bows and arrows, all of which were used by the Xianbei people, which is the best evidence.

The people of the Huyan tribe spoke to each other, denouncing the cruelty of the Han cavalry, scolding the Xianbei people for being shameless, crying, asking the right virtuous king to protect them, and sending troops to crusade.

"I know about this." The priest's eyes were dark, and he quickly summoned a few herdsmen to take everyone from the Huyan tribe to rest.

The Huyan people were eager to take revenge, but the priest had made up his mind and there was no room for them to speak.

In addition, the priests were respected and respected, and King Youxian led the troops to fight, and all the tribe followed his orders.If you want to get asylum, you must bow your head and obey your ears, and you can't have any violations.If it arouses dissatisfaction from the other party and the revenge is not reported, it will be self-defeating and bring trouble to the warriors who are fighting outside.

The people of the Huyan tribe stopped pestering them, got up obediently, replenished their drinking water, and gathered in the vacated tent to rest.

The priest summoned two rangers and asked them to bring the eagles to catch up with the outside army as soon as possible, and report what happened to the Huyan tribe to King Youxian.

"Take the sword and bow with you, just to check which Xianbei it is."

The ranger led the order to go out of the tent, took the black eagle leading the way, and quickly set off to chase the army.

Sitting alone in the tent, the priest always felt that he had overlooked something.Thinking about it, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind: Could this Xianbei tribe be Han Chinese pretending?

After pondering for a moment, a sly smile appeared on his old face.

Yes or no, it doesn't make much difference.

The ministries of Xianbei once rebelled with Ding Ling. Although they were suppressed by the royal court, they have not been honest in recent years.Now that I have the handle in my hands, I just took the opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, to be an example to others.

Only by killing one or two large groups can the rest be more honest.

As for the number of other parts, there is no need to worry at all.There are fewer Xianbei people, and Di, Qiang, Wuhuan, and even Dingling and barbarians from the far west can make up for it.

The most important thing is that appropriately weakening the strength of other departments is also good for this department.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became. The priest called the guards outside the tent and asked them to tell everyone in the camp that they would entertain the Huyan people who defected.

"There are 3000 people from the Huyan Department going to fight with the king, whoever dares to think badly, don't blame me for being rude!"

The guards led away, and the words of the priest quickly spread throughout the camp.

Everyone in the Huyan tribe was grateful, but the two sons of King Youxian went to the priest at the same time.

"There are only this few people left in the Huyan Department, and sooner or later they will cease to exist. Isn't it reasonable to belong to our department?"

With the same thoughts in mind, the two sat in the tent, waiting for the priest to reply.They were ordered to stay behind to protect the safety of the tribe, and did not go out with the army. They respected the priests very much, but they were very dissatisfied with this arrangement.

The priest closed his eyes half-closed, looking at the two princes who are strong but without brains, he just felt a headache.

No wonder King Youxian prefers to take his other sons with him when he goes out to battle, and excludes them when he chooses an heir.Such a mind that does not turn around is indeed not suitable for leading soldiers, let alone leading tribes.

The headache is the headache, the identities of the two are there, the priest still bears his temper and explains the situation again.

No matter how dull the two were, at least their brains were not filled with cotton, so they could more or less listen to what they said.After listening to what the priest said, they felt that it was reasonable, so they did not continue to insist, and each got up and left the tent.

Watching the two people disappear behind the tent, the priest suddenly felt that they were not worthless, at least they could listen to their own opinions.In contrast, the other princes seemed too ambitious.

Thinking of this, the priest narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dumb but able to listen to opinions, smart but stubborn, which one is more suitable?Pure Hun blood, or an heir with Da Yuezhi blood, which side does the king prefer?

Perhaps, he should not continue to watch.

For yourself, you should also make plans early.

Not to mention the turbulent undercurrent behind the Xiongnu, the Han cavalry grabbed more than 30 carts of grain, more than [-] fat sheep and hundreds of war horses, and their own losses were minimal, so small that they could be ignored.

The Han cavalry pretending to be Xianbei ran for several miles to make sure that there were no Hubu and Huqi around, then removed the disguise, burned the blood-stained leather robe, and trampled over the ashes with horseshoes.Afterwards, we headed eastward and found the small river that we agreed in advance. We got off our horses and rested for a while, when we heard high-pitched calls.

"It's Zhao Junhou's golden eagle." Han Qi, who was in charge of sentry, said loudly.

The head of the army and the leader of the team immediately stood up, ordered the whole army to mount their horses, put on the carts for transporting food, and chase after the golden eagle.

After the fight, there was another long-distance attack, and the Han cavalry should have been exhausted.

However, after the two cavalry joined forces, no one showed any signs of fatigue. On the contrary, they saw the large carts parked side by side, and more than [-] fat sheep, including Zhao Jia, Wei Yue, and Li Danghu. With excitement, I just feel the heat rising, and I can pick up the knife at any time and try again.

There were no pursuers behind them, and everyone adopted Zhao Jia's suggestion to rest and recuperate in the upper reaches of the river, burying pots and making food, and letting the cavalry eat with their stomachs open.

"Kill the sheep and pack the food separately." Zhao Jia pointed to the cart and ordered the civil servants, "The Xiongnu's headquarters has been robbed. It's not a small matter. The army in the south is bound to make moves. It's inconvenient to carry a cart, but fortunately there are enough horses. The food is divided into small bags, all tied to the extra horses."

Ever since Zhao Jia appeared, Wei Yue and Li Danghu had let go of the logistics and left everything to him to arrange.

Facts have proved that Zhao Jia lived up to his trust.When the Han riders took turns to guard and grabbed the barbecue and munched, he didn't rest, and started to count the harvest and prepare the army rations.

The food is divided into animal skin bags and tied to the back of the war horse, and it will be handled quickly.

Two thousand sheep made him a little embarrassed.

If it is a large army going out, the cattle and sheep captured will naturally be taken back.The situation is different now, they and the Xiongnu are circling the grasslands, speed is everything.In case of being overtaken by the army, these sheep will become a burden.It's a pity to throw it away. The only solution is to eat as much as you can before the danger arises.

"It's because Jia didn't think carefully." After handing over the matter to the clerk, Zhao Jia walked up to Wei Yue and sat down on the grass, holding the helmet in his hand, feeling a little depressed.

Before the plan started, he wanted to grab more cattle and sheep, completely ignoring the actual situation.I am a lone army, deeply trapped in the grassland, and if I am not careful, I will be bitten by the Huns and be wiped out.

But eating a cut will make you wiser.

With this lesson learned, next time you do it, you must think carefully in advance. If you want to grab the spoils, it is best not to trouble yourself.

Wei Yue took off his helmet, a few strands of messy hair hung from his temples, his lips were covered with green mustaches, and his handsome face was slightly weathered.Hearing Zhao Jia's words, he put down the meat-cutting dagger, pinned Zhao Jia's shoulder, pressed his fingers firmly, and said, "Why did Ah Duo say that? It wasn't because Ah Duo had a good plan, why did you get these food and fat sheep?"

"Exactly!" Li Danghu raised his head, put down the half-eaten leg of lamb, grabbed the water bag and gulped down a big gulp, and said with a smile, "We wiped out the headquarters of the Huns and grabbed so much food and fat sheep." , not one died in battle, how could it be poor planning?"

Zhao Jia shook his head, hugged the helmet, and expressed his worries.

"That's it?" Li Danghu was very surprised, looked at Wei Yue and laughed loudly at the same time.

Zhao Jia was inexplicably laughed at.

"It's only two thousand sheep, how long can it last?" Wei Yue picked up the dagger, cut the roasted meat on the leaves into thick slices, tied a piece with the tip of the knife, and handed it to Zhao Jia's mouth, "Did Ah Duo forget?" The food intake of soldiers?"

The aroma of barbecue wafted over, Zhao Jia sniffled and his stomach started to growl.He opened his mouth uncontrollably, bit the well-roasted mutton, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into his stomach.He opened the water bag again and took a sip on the spot.

The mutton is unsalted and tastes average, but it is a rare cooked food.

While the sheep are being slaughtered, the blood of the sheep is collected, and each person gets some.Even if he is not used to it, Zhao Jia still has to drink it.If you want to maintain your strength, you must allow yourself to adapt.

After being enlightened by Wei Yue and Li Danghu, Zhao Jia also understood that he was overthinking.With the appetite of the Han army, if you really open your belly, there are only two thousand sheep, and it can be solved in a few meals.

Probably less than three days.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jia shook his head and laughed, put the helmet aside, took a lamb rib from Wei Yue, and grabbed it with both hands without using a dagger.

After gnawing on the bone and throwing it away, I grabbed the second one.

After eating half of the fat sheep in one go, Zhao Jia sighed contentedly.Referring to my own appetite, I feel that what Wei Yue and Li Danghu said is reasonable, and there were indeed some unfounded worries before.

After they were full, the petty official and the guards collected the bones, but they didn't have time to bury them deeply, so they just threw them away.

Zhao Jia squatted on the bank of the river, washed his hands, and splashed clean water on his face.Looking at the shadow reflected in the water, a thought grows wildly like a weed, deeply stuck in the brain, and I can't pull it out.

"What was Hodor thinking?"

There was an extra figure in the water, Zhao Jia didn't turn his head, and maintained the previous posture, with his arms on his knees, and said in a deep voice, "Does the third son know that water can spread diseases?"

"Plague?"

"Yes." Zhao Jia looked at the reflection in the water and continued, "Put sick and dead cattle and sheep into ponds and streams, and after people drink them, the mild ones will get sick, and the severe ones will die."

At some point, Li Danghu also walked to the water's edge, and after hearing what Zhao Jia said, he asked, "Is this true?"

"Indeed." Zhao Jia nodded, feeling a little numb in his legs, stood up, and stomped his feet.

Historically, the Xiongnu used the strategy of the Bank of China to bury sick and dead cattle and sheep in water sources. It was because Huo Qubing drank the polluted water that he became seriously ill and died young.

As early as two years ago, Zhao Jia had a similar idea in his mind, but there was no condition for it to be implemented.

Now, he has a general idea of ​​the distribution of water sources on the grassland.Regardless of the consequences, adding a few more points to the plan, even if the Xiongnu cannot be wiped out, it will also hurt their vitality.

"That's why Ah Duo strictly ordered drinking hot water. If you can't make a fire, you have to check the upper water source?" Wei Yue said.

Zhao Jia nodded, turned around, glanced at Wei Yue and Li Danghu, and said, "Jia knows that this strategy is harmful to heaven..."

"Is it hurting Tianhe?" Li Danghu snorted, folded his arms, and disagreed with Zhao Jia's point of view, "All barbarians are barbarians, the genus of wolves, why did Zhao Junhou say that?"

Wei Yue didn't make a sound, but judging by his expression, he also agreed with Li Danghu's point of view.

Zhao Jia suddenly discovered that he had made an anachronism again.

This is the overbearing Western Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Wu has not yet ascended the throne, and the Huns are still hopping on the grasslands, they have not yet been completely overthrown. The pride of the Han nation has long been shaped and never diminished.

Because of this, there will be "those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away", and there will be "Han upholding prestige, leading all nations, and under the sun and moon, they are all ministers and concubines", and it is not just words, It is even more brilliantly written in the memorial to the emperor.

Although Chen Tang was far away, he must be punished. It was not before the action, but after he shoveled the northern Huns, he wrote it to the emperor.Domineering enough to be able to move without moving his mouth, not the slightest hypocrisy.

Dissatisfied?

They were all beaten to death, why did they refuse to accept it.

And Ban Biao, who held high that "the sun and the moon shine, all are concubines", he is not aggressive, but he is a domineering family. His son Ban Chaoqing is better than blue, and he shovels the Western Regions, teaching kings and ministers from all over the world to be human again.

For the big brothers of the Han Dynasty, the dead Xiongnu are the good Xiongnu, and if you don’t go extinct, you will be cut to extinction!

It is purely a joke to say that it is "harmful to peace".

Knowing the crux of the problem, Zhao Jia couldn't help laughing, and was about to speak, when a scout came to report, a team appeared a few miles away, they should be Xianbei, but everyone was injured, it seemed that they had experienced a big battle.

"Xianbei?"

Zhao Jia couldn't help frowning, and after discussing with Wei Yueli, he released the golden eagle to determine the exact location of the person who came, and took it if he could, and couldn't kill him on the spot.Afterwards, the civil servants were ordered to speed up their actions, distribute the last batch of food properly, and the army set off immediately.

Not wanting to, the golden eagle left and returned very quickly, hooting and circling above Zhao Jia's head.

"Akin?"

Zhao Jia felt strange, fastened the rope on the horse's back, said hello to Wei Yue, jumped on the horse, led a group of cavalry, and galloped forward with the golden eagle.

After traveling a certain distance, they met the scouts who turned back.

Seeing the group of people brought back, Zhao Jia immediately became excited.

Even though he was in a mess and his face was stained with blood, he recognized at a glance that the person walking at the front of the team was Wei Qingmo who had been separated from the caravan and hadn't heard from him for a long time!
