I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Page 322

Li Xin stood in front of the Jingguan, leaning on crutches, looking at the Jingguan and sighing. If it weren't for this damned Donghu man, he might have gone deep into the desert by now.

It's good now, he was injured, if not for his own fate, he might have died in Yanmen County.

Zhang Han rode on his horse and said with a smile, "Brother Li, don't worry, with me, Madman Zhang, the savages in the grassland deep in the desert should be shivering!"

Zhang Han selected a group of good men from the army, and set off with the caravan.

After reporting to the court, the court decisively changed people. Because Li Xin was injured, it was impossible to go to the desert again, but the desert had to go, and there was no news of the Huns who fled into the depths of the desert.

Now we must know the stronghold of the Huns and get rid of them as soon as possible. Of course, Donghu and other grassland tribes must move south to the three northern counties to graze for Daqin.

Others don't know how powerful the Huns were later, but Zhang He knows that the grassland deep in the desert must be controlled by Daqin.

Ying Meng and other generals stood by the Jingguan and watched Zhang Han leave.

Li Xin was a little disappointed, it was clearly his own task, but Zhang Han took the lead.

The court also said, let him go back to Xianyang, heal his wounds first, and there will be more battles later!

But when Li Xin thought of going home, he felt mixed feelings. He clearly wanted to go home, but when he thought of his wife, Yueshi, he felt murmured in his heart.

Especially this time he was injured, he hadn't completed the task yet, and was laughed at by Yueshi when he went home.

"Let's go. It's windy outside. Don't get infected. If you get infected, your baby may not be able to keep it."

Ying Meng glanced at Li Xin and smiled.

Li Xin felt a chill down below, and the corners of his mouth twitched, this time it became Da Qin's joke.

A group of people slowly returned to Pingcheng, and after dealing with the affairs of Pingcheng, they all had to return to Xianyang to receive the title.

In the depths of the Mobei Plateau, the rain and snow came a little early this year, and there have been three consecutive heavy snowfalls. The life of the grassland tribes is very difficult. After the withered grass in the pasture is covered by heavy snow, the cattle and sheep have no grass to eat, or eat the heavy snow. After the withered grass in the middle, they all swelled to death.

"Shan Yu, you should think of a way. The people can't live on. In just these two days, a lot of cattle and sheep died."

Mao Dun rode on a war horse, stood on a hilltop, looked at the world of ice and snow in the distance, sighed, and said, "It's good to die, but it's easy to die. After this winter, we will move west next year. If we go to the Western Regions, we can't defeat the Zhao people, we can't defeat the Qin people, can't we defeat those small countries in the Western Regions?"

"Hmph, damn the Yue Clan, I have never forgotten the revenge of the extermination of the clan, I remember it!"

Speaking of the revenge of extermination, the generals around them immediately clenched their fists, recalling that they crossed the mountains and ridges, braved the courage to die of thirst in the desert, crossed the great desert, and returned home to their hometown.

But the hometown no longer exists, there are corpses everywhere, the damn Yuezhi people, even their children were not spared, [-] to [-] old, weak, sick and disabled were all beheaded by the Yuezhi cavalry.

At first, they wanted to seek revenge from the Yuezhi people, but later they heard that the damned Yuezhi people had defected to the Qin people and became part of the Qin people.

At that time, Mao Dun was thinking that it was impossible to rely on the IQ of the Yuezhi people to destroy his lair, and the Yuezhi people had been completely destroyed by the Qin people at that time, so how could there be cavalry formed into the system? With enough food, grass and weapons, they ran thousands of miles and found their hometown of the Huns?

This was definitely done by the Qin people. They may have reached some kind of agreement with the Yuezhi people.

The news obtained later also verified that the queen of the Yuezhi people turned out to be Princess Shangping of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Queen of the Yueshi people even married Li Xin, the favorite general of Qin Wang Yingzheng. The entire Yuezhi people surrendered to Daqin and became Daqin a part of.

Mao Dun gritted his teeth. For countless days and nights, he was thinking about revenge, but he heard that the people of Qin were getting stronger and stronger.

After annihilating the Yue clan, the Qin people went south to annihilate the Chu State, the largest in the Central Plains, and even the Baiyue south of the Chu State surrendered to the Great Qin.

After more than a year of development, Maodun has annexed countless scattered tribes on the grassland, but the total population is only over 3, and life is very difficult because of the last meal and never the next meal.

This year, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow again, which simply did not give them a way out for the Huns.

In June, Mao Dun led an army to a place further north, and found that there were also grassland tribes there, but the tribes there were also very strong. They were not rivals. They planned to develop here for another two years, so they went to the north. Annex those tribes, then go to the east, meet the Donghu, grab the population of the Donghu, and the Xiongnu can develop again.

But now it seems that it is impossible. After the spring, they must move westward, to the Western Regions.

Because there are more people there, Wusun is a big fat sheep.

"Tell the tribe that it doesn't matter if the cattle and sheep die. They can eat as many cattle and sheep as there are in the family. In the spring of next year, Ben Shanyu will take them to grab more cattle and sheep."

The general around him sighed, turned around and left, even if all the cattle and sheep were killed, there might not be enough for everyone to eat, let alone beef and mutton.

Mao Dun stood on the mountain bag for a long time before turning back to his tent.

Princess Yuezhi, the daughter of Mi Lexihou, had already given birth to a son to Mao Dun, but she lived like a dog, being beaten by Mao Dun every day.

Mao Dun said that the Yuezhi was ungrateful and broke the faith between the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu. The Yuezhi slaughtered his tribe, and she was the biggest sinner of the Huns.

Mouton didn't feed Princess Yuezhi, only one meal in two days, Princess Yueshi was already as hungry as a mummy, but Moutun still tied her with ropes, like cattle and sheep, and didn't give her clothes to wear.

The curtain of the tent was opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in from the outside. Princess Yueshi slowly opened her eyes, and saw the contradiction like a hungry wolf, and she backed away in fright.

"Bitch, you stole Ben Shanyu's jerky again?"

Mao Dun picked up the whip and whipped it violently, until Princess Yuezhi fainted, then he gave up, turned around and walked out of the tent angrily.

Then I went to the other two tents, but the place was still as warm as spring, with wine ponds and meat forests, and several women that Maodun had inherited from his father stalked up like wolves and tigers.

Mao Dun Shanyu was having fun when anxious voices came from outside.

Chapter 511 The Donghu Deserters Exterminated by the Caravan

"Chan Yu, my subordinates have important matters to report."

Mao Dun was a little angry, turned around and left the tent angrily, and scolded: "What's the big deal?"

"Zhanbu took his people away and headed south. She said that following Shan Yu you have no future, and they can only starve to death in the depths of the desert. They are going to the south to rob the Qin people."

"This damn bastard, does he want to take the tribal warriors to die?"

"If you rob the people of Qin, if you don't get robbed by the people of Qin, it's considered a high incense."

"Come here, prepare the horse, I will beat him to death."

In the heavy snow three hundred miles away from Fuyangju Mountain, a group of about 5000 Xiongnu cavalry, dragging their families and leading their mouths, headed south. The leader was a Hun man about 30 years old.

"Leader, we can't go any further. If we continue to walk in such heavy snow, everyone will freeze to death here."

"Boss, 300 people have froze to death."

But the leader of the Xiongnu showed a resolute expression on his face, and said lightly: "Don't worry about them. If you die, you will die. The living will follow me and move on. Instead of waiting to die here, it is better to go to the territory of Daqin Grab one."

"Even if we can't reach Daqin's territory, there are still Daqin's caravans operating near the north side of the Great Wall. As long as we meet a caravan, we don't have to die."

Since the Huns were completely exterminated, all the tribes on the north side of the Great Wall surrendered to the Great Qin one after another, and the merchants of the Great Qin were all active in this area.

Two days later, they were overtaken by Mao Dun Shanyu.

"Chanbu, you bastard, what do you want?"

Mao Dun stepped forward and scolded, and finally lashed Chanbu's face with a whip, leaving a bloody mark.

The middle-aged Xiongnu's Chanbu looked at Maodun indifferently, and said with a sneer, "I can't just stand by and watch the sons of the tribe starve to death."

"We are the wolves of the steppe, the wolves..."

"The prairie wolf only died in battle, not starvation."

"Modun, go back to your tent and continue to have fun, don't mind my tribe's affairs."

Angrily, he grabbed onto Chanbu, and the two of them fought together in an instant.

The north wind howled, snowflakes hit the faces of the Huns like knives, and everyone's hats were covered with thick frost.

But these warriors, like wooden men, quietly watched the two chiefs beat each other in the snow.

After a long time, both of them sat in the snow with bruised noses and swollen faces and sneered at each other.

In the end, Mao Dun sighed and persuaded again: "You have no good fruit to eat when you go south, and the current Qin people are really not easy to mess with."

"Hahaha, Maodun, your bones are weak, even if I die, I will be a dead ghost."

"Okay, then you go!"

"Leave the women and children, they are the seeds of the grassland!"

Chanbu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up slowly, and waved his hands: "The old people, women and children stay here, and the warriors get on their horses, and follow me to grab the food and women from the Qin people."

Mao Dun watched Chanbu leave, and let out a long breath, this damn Chanbu, if you don't turn back if you don't hit the south wall, I just want to see if you can snatch the Qin people's things?

It's not that Modun can't help the Chanbu, it's just that all the tribes have this kind of thinking recently, so let the Chanbu prove it and see if they can grab food.

Now he can't and doesn't dare to use harsh methods. If the methods are too strong, all the tribes will rebel and it will be troublesome. Although he is still Shan Yu, he doesn't have as many soldiers as the other leaders. The tribe doesn't have much to eat, and has to rely on other tribes for assistance.

Just wait, wait for the arrival of spring next year, and then settle accounts with you.

Mao Dun led this group of people halfway, and then killed the old people, only taking away the fertile women and children, and taking those old people would only become a burden to the tribe.

Along the Great Wall, soldiers of the Qin people were patrolling every day, and there were a large number of troops on duty at checkpoints everywhere. It was a joke for the Huns to come here to rob.

The merchants of Daqin brought back many grassland slaves, cattle and sheep from the depths of the grassland every day, and the merchants of Daqin captured all the grassland tribes living outside the Great Wall.

In this area, there are more merchants than Huns herdsmen.

I'm afraid that if you can't reach the Great Wall, you will be caught by merchants and sold as slaves to the Daqin officials to build roads.

For example, the Donghu cavalry who were chased by Zhang Han, who had no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go to the ground, encountered a caravan of about 500 people when they fled into the grassland and hadn't gone far.

When the Donghu people saw the Daqin caravan passing by, their eyes immediately brightened.

With supplies from this caravan, they are sure to make it home alive.

However, when this caravan from Great Qin saw a tired cavalry, their eyes also glowed green.

It has been more than half a year since this caravan entered the desert, but they only encountered two tribes, and the number of them was only 300 people. After the first battle, they captured more than 100 people from each other.

I was about to go home soon, and on the way, I encountered a miserable army of 800 people. This was a door-to-door deal.

The leader of the caravan is Liu San, the son of Ying Bing's housekeeper.

This guy was originally a soldier, brave and good at fighting, and made a lot of contributions, but after being injured once, he never went to the army again. The old man Ying Bing thought that this kid was more suitable to be a robber, so he turned him into a The leader of the caravan.

Because Ying Bing has plenty of money, the hired caravan servants are all vicious people in the world or veterans who have retired from the army, and their weapons are the most advanced, even Liannu they have.

With this caravan, I don’t know how many tribes have been wiped out on the grassland.

In the caravan of 500 people, each of the retinues was wearing armor, and even the horses were wearing hoods.

"Brothers, here comes the opportunity to make a fortune!" Liu San laughed excitedly when he saw the other party's exhausted appearance.

The subordinates kept swallowing, they must capture each other alive, 800 people, [-] horses, really want to make a fortune.

Not to mention the captives, even the [-] war horses, if they were all snatched and sold to the officials, it would be a huge sum of money.

"Surround up, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who do not surrender will be killed directly!"

The 500 people threw down more than 100 slaves who were tied with ropes, and rushed up brandishing long knives.

The Donghu people were immediately dumbfounded.

"run……"

"Run!"

Whoosh!

A crossbow arrow shot through the chest of a Donghu man, and the Donghu soldier who ran away shouted and immediately received a box of lunch.

Liu San led five hundred retinues, and the speed of the pursuit was so fast that he surrounded the Donghu cavalry in an instant.

With a burst of cold arrows, the unarmed Donghu people immediately fell off their horses.

"Whoever descends does not kill, whoever descends does not kill..."

Some Donghu people among the retinue immediately began to shout. When the Donghu people heard the words from their own hometown, they thought it was their own people, so they dismounted immediately and prepared to surrender.

The result was tragic, and everyone was captured alive.

Chapter 512 Zhang He rebelled?

Liu San captured more than 400 people alive in this battle, half of them were killed directly, and [-] intact horses were confiscated.

Even the lightly injured war horses were treated immediately. As long as the war horses were alive, lame horses could be sold for a good price. The officials didn't want them, but the merchants rushed to get them.

"Hahaha, I got rich, this time I really got rich."

"Bring their leaders up and ask them what's going on and why they appear here in embarrassment. It would be great if the Donghu people were in civil turmoil!"

The leader of the Donghu people was beaten and kicked by several big and three thick men, and brought to Liu San with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

The Donghu man next to Liu San asked: "Why are you here, tell me quickly, or I will kill you with one knife."

The leader of Donghu is still a little confused. Who are these people?It looks like Daqin's army, but it doesn't look like Daqin's army, but its lethality is really powerful.

The two chattered for a while, and then the Donghu man who followed Liu San said with a smile: "Brother Liu, he said that they followed the Zhao people to attack Daqin's Pingcheng, but they were defeated by Daqin. Daqin had a lunatic who chased them and killed them." After traveling for more than 300 miles, they finally ran out of energy and finally escaped."

"Brother Liu, there is another piece of good news. All Donghu fighters have followed the Zhao people to attack. There are no fighters guarding the Donghu people's lair..."
