Chapter 59: The White Calamity
Life is a long journey, and once you realize it, the journey becomes rich. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived up to Yun Xiao's expectations and really chose to handle his marriage in the most correct way.
When the news of the emperor's upcoming wedding in three months broke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Wan sat in the Yilan Palace, and now the emperor had chosen the day of the wedding. As a mother-in-law, the addiction of Jiaofang Hall for two days is also over, and she can't rob the marriage room with her daughter-in-law. Besides, she is still such a daughter-in-law with a background.
"Sister, the old lady agreed to Han Anguo's matter?"
Tian Wei was most worried about this, I heard that he could have the title of Imperial Doctor. Han Anguo gritted his teeth and sold all his land, and Tian Wei naturally got a lot of benefits here. If the matter can't be done, let him return the land, then it will take Tian Wei's own life.
"Agreed, I told the old lady that it was the prime minister of King Liang. The old lady immediately agreed, but in the end, the old lady couldn't let go of King Liang. It's also pitiful to say, both sons are gone. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and I found that the old lady was getting more and more tired of the eldest princess recently. It seems that the daughter-in-law of the mourning family really can't afford to offend. β
Wang Wan remembered the situation of Empress Dowager Dou's favor with Princess Tao, and she was upset, and then she wanted her daughter-in-law to wait, which basically came to naught. There's no way that the family affair is set by yourself, and you have to swallow the bitter fruit yourself.
In this way, Dou Yuan's affairs are yellow. Hehe, I really let this Lintong Marquis say. Use the position of the queen to exchange for a royal doctor, and the Dou family will definitely change. The younger brother knows that everything is as long as the Marquis of Lintong comes out. There will be a turnaround in no time. β
Tian Wei was a little happy, and he came up with the idea of asking Wang Wan to invite Yun Xiao.
"Yes, it's thanks to Nangong that he followed. Otherwise, we really don't want to move this kid. I hope Nangong will give him a baby boy and tie it to his heart, you men always want to see a good one. I heard you got him another fox? Nangong is your niece, where is there an uncle to send a woman to his son-in-law. Sending such a fox to compete with your niece for favor, you have a bit of a brain. β
When it comes to women, Wang Huan's anger doesn't come to one place. Nangong went to the palace to complain to his mother for the sake of Chiling. The mother and daughter unanimously targeted Tian Wei who took Yun Xiao to visit the brothel, and without Tian Wei to lead Yun Xiao, she would not have brought such a fox back.
What worries Nangong the most is. Yun Xiao seemed to be very interested in that Chi Ling. It's been days since I excused myself to be pregnant. Don't sleep in your room.
"Wronged, sister, my brother is also entrusted by others. The woman was not sent by her younger brother but ......" Tian Wei couldn't go on, and took his nephew and son-in-law to visit a brothel, which didn't seem to be the right way.
"And what? It's not like you're taking him out in the dark. You are also one of the three princes of Taiwei. Can't you check it a little? You are not allowed to go to those fireworks and willow alleys in the future. β
"Nuo" Tian Wei was angry when he saw Wang Huan. Hurriedly bowed down and saluted. Then quickly disappeared in front of Wang Huan's eyes. This black pot is wronged, and his mother's head is all counted on Lao Tzu's head, and they are all Chunhua's stupid woman. It's not good to send a woman to Yunxiao.
Vultures hovered in the sky, and the tribes of the steppe were littered with corpses and bones. The melting snow has soaked the bones to swelling and decay. A horse's belly swelled like a balloon, and its stiff limbs stretched straight. The eyes are covered with a white membrane and look like the eyes of a dead fish.
The military minister looked at the scene in front of him helplessly, the most terrible white disaster on the white disaster grassland. Once the Kunlun god is angry, then the shepherd will not be able to survive.
The wind swept goose feathers of snow over the entire grassland, and countless tribes were afflicted. The heavy snowfall is still remembered, and the sky seems to have leaked a hole. The god Kunlun poured down the snow in the hole, and the horses could not walk again for only one day. For two days, heavy snow collapsed the tent and covered the cattle and sheep. For three days, the shepherds on the steppe only wailed to the sky.
Da Shan Yu couldn't remember how many tribes he had gone, and the scene was similar to what he was looking at. Only three or four out of ten people survived, and many old people and children were as frozen and stiff as the horse. Lying quietly in all corners of the grassland, waiting for the rot to be pecked by those vultures.
The horse's belly exploded, and its entrails, filled with rancid liquid, were sprayed and splashed in all directions. The right valley king who was close was sprayed, and at this moment, the stinking right valley king was cursing loudly.
"Da Dan Yu, you must go to Han to plunder. Almost all the slaves of the Han people froze to death, and those who did not freeze to death lacked arms and legs and were unusable. If this continues, we Huns will be finished. β
King Zuogu looked at the scene in front of him and said. His Jianyì represented the opinion of most of the Xiongnu nobles, who went to the Han land to rob grain slaves in the year of disaster. This is the custom of the Huns, as long as they cross the Great Wall, there will be a large number of grain, cattle, sheep and slaves waiting for them.
"Our strength is now unprecedentedly weak, and it can no longer be compared with that year. This white plague has reduced our population by half, and it may not be so easy to plunder the Han land as we did before. King Huqiang said with some concern.
"What do you mean is to let our people starve to death on the grassland, so that our Great Huns will not disappear." The irascible King of Zuogu Li angrily questioned King Huqiang. The guards around him all touched the handle of the knife, and it was normal for the Huns to draw their swords and meet each other without saying a word.
"I didn't say that the people should die, I only know that there is one place where there is no Great Wall. It can be more convenient for us to loot, although their army is a little stronger than the Han army. But in front of our Great Hun warriors, it is still not enough to see. β
"Where?" The silent Da Shan Yu couldn't help but be moved, if there was such a place where you could loot without climbing the wall, it would definitely be a huge blessing for the Huns. All the Xiongnu nobles also pricked up their ears, waiting to hear where the Huqiang king was talking about.
"Donghu, my big single Yu, is Donghu. Since the marriage of Donghu and the Han Dynasty, Donghu has become the link between the Han and the Western Regions. Han silk, pottery, and wine were all trafficked farther to the Western Regions through Donghu.
The dried fruits, handmade blankets and various minerals from the Western Regions were also transported to the Han border through Donghu for sale. Now Donghu is so rich that it flows oil, and the three cities of Zhangye, Wuwei and Jiuquan are full of cars and horses all day long. The tax alone is already very exciting, and I heard that their people are very light because of the tax. The cattle and sheep can no longer fit in the pen, but we have a white disaster here, but they have abundant water and grass there.
Da Dan Yu I built yΓ¬ to attack Donghu, if to attack the Han realm. We will face hundreds of thousands of Han troops holding the city. To attack Donghu, we only need to face a Donghu army of less than 100,000. And our looting may be more abundant than what we have gained in the Han realm. β
King Huqiang's account made the eyes of all the Xiongnu nobles widen, and King Huqiang was right. Two years ago, Donghu was still a bone without much meat, but now Donghu is already a fat lamb.
The eyes of the Xiongnu nobles were full of greed, and in their eyes, the Donghu cavalry was scum. The cavalry of the Great Huns crushed them, and they could be easily crushed into pieces.
"Da Danyu, give the order."
"It's a big order, the brothers can't wait."
"Da Danyu, take us to snatch them all."
"Big order is ......"
The rich Donghu greatly encouraged the courage of the Huns, and the Xiongnu nobles demanded to attack Donghu.
The military minister Shan Yu smiled, this was the first time since he took office that the Huns were so active in asking him to lead them out to loot. At this moment, he felt that he had truly become a wolf.
"Huh" Shan Yu drew his saber and raised it high above his head.
"I, the Great Hun Shan Yu, gather my army in the name of the Kunlun God. Now we are going to plunder in the rich Donghu, let their cattle and sheep become our cattle and sheep, and let their women become our women. Let their wealth become ours.
Warriors of the Great Huns, fight for cattle and sheep, women, and wealth! (To be continued......)
