Chapter 705: Fighting the Huns (9)

The Xiongnu and other Hu people went south for several years and suffered heavy losses, but also made a lot of money, and the bowl here refers not only to the wealth and silk looted by the Hu people, but also to the population and technical talents plundered from Zhao.

What is the current generation of technical talent? It is some carpenters, blacksmiths, and even those who know how to make zuò pottery are considered to be one of the talents.

The Hu people swept through the Zhao land, and that time they withdrew from the grasslands outside Yanmen, partly to rest and wait for Qi Yan's support, but also to send the captive population back to the grasslands. The people they plundered from Zhao were more than 100,000, most of whom could only farm, and a small number of them were craftsmen of all kinds.

The progress of the nomads has always been based on the plundering of the farming peoples, and it was the captives who brought various crafts to the grasslands, so that the techniques of iron smelting and weaving appeared on the grasslands. Historically, if the person who knows how to use the plundered farming technology is the leader of the Hu people in the grassland, it will almost lay the pattern of entering the Central Plains, and at worst, the north of the Yellow River will fall into the hands of the Hu people, such as Xianbei, Khitan, Qianjin, and Houjin.

In the later period, the Hu people who joined the Qi Yan army entered Taiyuan County, and seemed to have tasted the sweetness and plundered and plundered in Taiyuan County, so that this "locust" entered Qin, and Wang Ben sent people to Taiyuan County behind, and saw that the entire Taiyuan County was basically taken away unless it escaped into the deep mountains and old forests as soon as possible.

It is estimated that the things done by the Hu people were too irritating to the Zhao State, which made the Zhao State angry and at the same time made enemies with the Qi State that was pulling the bias, and then it was even more difficult to talk about it in some aspects, so that Lu Zhe pulled the Zhao State over, so there was also a situation where the Zhao army was on the side of the Han army.

On the way to the grassland, there were large and small groups of people carrying the captive population, and it was no longer possible to calculate how many people this "locust" had taken from the land of China, but no matter how you look at it, it would not be less than 250,000.

A feast of robbery completely stimulated the Hu people. There were two years when winter could not even extinguish the enthusiasm of the Hu people for looting, and according to their plan for this year, this winter will not stop looting.

In fact, spring and winter are the seasons when the Hu people stop, spring is the season when a large number of livestock are in heat to prepare for reproduction, but winter is too cold to make a variety of preparations to ensure that the livestock can survive. And counting this year, the Hu people have not taken care of the breeding of livestock in the spring for three consecutive years, and the protection of livestock in winter has also been put aside, it is conceivable that the plundering that entered the land of China is more important than their breeding and protection of livestock, and the profits are definitely richer than those two things, otherwise such a thing will never happen.

There are many twists and turns and stories in this, and the original meaning of the sooth head man is to ensure the breeding and wintering of the herds. However, one person suggested that robbery was more important than livestock breeding and wintering, and at first the leaders of the Hu people did not think so, but when they showed them that the captive Chinese people could make bronze tools, and make some tools that were very useful to the Hu people, they could find out what it meant as long as their heads were not bad.

The Hu people don't understand what "science and technology are the primary productive forces", but they can understand that as long as they can capture more craftsmen, then the soldiers on the grassland can abandon the weapons of the Stone Age and replace them with the weapons of the Bronze Age.

It was supposed to be winter this year. The Hu people planned to break through the Qin city north of the Dingyang defense line of the Qin and Han coalition forces, plundering and plundering and preparing for the winter, but Tian Jiao came to say so much news, and after Qi Yan continued to perish. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops were moving westward, and the original plan was clearly no longer suitable.

He believed what Tian was saying, but the cunning of Hu Ren's nature made him pretend not to believe it, wanting to get more benefits from some aspects.

Let's be honest. Even now, it is not clear that his brother Tian Jian called himself the king of Qi in Guangyang County and Hengshan County to rebuild the Qi Kingdom, but it does not prevent him from making more plans.

Plus, it might be a little hilarious but it's definitely true. Tian Jiao thought in his heart that the Qi State was destroyed by the Han State, that was because the people in the Qi Wangdan's line were stupid, and at the same time, Tian Rong's line was absolutely incompetent, otherwise how could they be defeated by each one and finally destroy the country when they had a million army?

In Tian Jiao's view, the strength of the Han State is certain, but it does not mean that the Han army is invincible, as long as the right strategy is used, it will definitely survive, and it is not without a chance to counterattack in the future, what they should do now is to hug the thigh of the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Why does Tian Leave have such confidence? Here we want to mention the Qin State, which was once so miserable that it would die if it was pushed slightly, that was the Qin State before Qin Xiaogong won Quliang to take over, that is, the old things of the Qin Xian Gong Shi Xi era who was pressed to the ground and beaten by the Wei State. Tian Jiao believes that the Qin State can be rejuvenated with a new ruler in the face of the possibility of collapse at any time, which proves that a country ruled by different people will produce very different results.

It's a person who doesn't think they're stupid.,There are a lot of people who are stupid and think they're geniuses or something.,If ordinary people have such a situation, it's at most a joke.,But the higher the status and a little bit of strength of the person once he thinks so,It's definitely a disaster.。

Of course, no one knows whether Tian is stupid or not, but there is no doubt that he is an ambitious person. It is that kind of ambition that makes him want to fight subconsciously ignore a lot of things, some things that people can see very clearly, but he blinds himself, and thinks that as long as he is in power, he will definitely be able to do things that others can't.

Tian Jiao returned to the camp immediately after leaving from the Xiongnu, and when he returned to the camp, he immediately ordered the escort of grain to the Xiongnu camp, and dozens of carts of wealth and silk were also loaded and sent to the various leaders of the Xiongnu one by one, among which the head man was the most.

Wei Man's side sighed when he found out that the Qi army was endlessly transporting grain to the Xiongnu camp, he didn't understand why Tian Jiao did this.

What's going on now? It was the Qi State and the Yan State that were destroyed by the Han State one after another, and Qi Yan, who once had a combined army of nearly two million, was wiped out by the Han State within half a year, and there were less than 100,000 Qi troops on Tian Jia's side, and Tian Jian even had 200,000 troops in Guangyang County and Hengshan County, couldn't the Han army destroy them?

"Tian Jiao and Tian Jian guaranteed the survival of the Qi State to those who relied on the Xiongnu?" Wei Man shook his head: "It is obvious that the Xiongnu have changed their strategy, from occupying land to plundering resources and captivating people, and they have no intention of staying in the land of China for a long time......

A general in a green robe next to him had a different temperament from the Yan army, he was Li Liang's person who stayed in the Yan army, and he suddenly found Wei Man to identify himself when he found that the Qi army was moving and the Yan army did not cooperate.

There are actually such people on the Qi army's side, but it is obvious that the people on the Qi army's side will definitely not appear after Tian Jiao's actions.

"General Wei, what are your plans?" The burly man named Qin Shuang was a spy under Yan Bi's intelligence department.

Wei Man looked directly at Qin Shuang's gaze: "Until now, some people can't see the situation clearly and embark on the road of self-destruction", what he said is obviously Tian Jiao, "I am a person who knows the times, and the king of Han has never unloaded the mill and killed the donkey in treating those who know the times, so naturally the king of Han has any instructions, and I will do it." ”

So, reputation is useless a lot of the time, but having absolute strength and a good reputation is very useful.

Qin Shuang nodded with satisfaction: "What the king means is that General Wei doesn't have to do anything at the moment. ”

Wei Man was stunned for a moment, and there was no objection: "Is that so?" Man will definitely act according to the orders of the King of Han. ”

Now Lu Zhe really doesn't expect Wei Man to be able to do anything, the actual situation that the Han State got from Zang Tu shows a lot, the Yan army soldiers led by Wei Man into the Qin land are farmers who have just put down their farm tools, and how much combat effectiveness this army has is actually as long as a general knows it. Moreover, Wei Man only has 40,000 troops on hand, and he has no combat effectiveness and no numerical superiority, so acting rashly is simply sending him to death, so it is better to lurk and do something at the right time.

In the next period of time, the Qin and Han armies on the front line of Dingyang gave up the defense line and retreated, and the Xiongnu also appropriately sent cavalry to attack and harass, and the main force of the Xiongnu and the large troops on the side of Qi and Yan were also packing up and making preparations for the pullout.

Wei Man and other people on the Han side who stayed with the Xiongnu knew that things were not as they seemed to be, they were packing up their things and preparing to pull out, and it was even more true that the Huns' large and small cavalry were also dispatching everywhere, but the cavalry sent by the Xiongnu was carrying out more thorough plunder, and the instructions on where the army was about to go were not issued.

"They don't want to march south, recently the Xiongnu side has accelerated the amount and speed of the amount and speed of the materials and people that have been plundered by the camp," Wei Man looked a little anxious: "Obviously, they want to make the illusion of continuing to march south, but in fact, they are going to retreat in a big way." ”

Wei Man can't help but be anxious, his current fate completely depends on whether the Han State's combat strategy can succeed, if the Han State does not perceive this situation, let the Xiongnu and other people successfully break out of the encirclement and break through, he can only be taken to the grassland, once he goes to the grassland, it is not so easy to do whatever he wants.

"General Wei doesn't need to be in a hurry," Qin Shuang was very calm: "Everything is under the control of my king." ”

Wei Man's face was a little strange, if it wasn't for the fact that the situation didn't allow it, he really wanted to know what arrangements Han Wangzhe had made. (To be continued......)
