The early winter on the steppe began to get cold.

The livestock have been kept in captivity.

The grass is dwindling, and the cavalry of many tribes has returned to the west.

Today, in the area where Shan Yuting is located, there are only thirty or forty thousand cavalry.

The rest have either followed King Hujie to Nanchi, or have returned to the west.

The warlord stood in the king's tent, looking at a map that had just been brought to him, a few bound slaves, and a bag of gold coins.

These are all the trophies brought back by King Lu Hou of the West after he went deep into the Dawan Kingdom and attacked a village.

"These Dawan people are really strange...... "The military minister said with a smile as he stroked a gold coin.

This gold coin is unlike anything the military has seen in the past.

The coin is carved with a naked male figure who appears to be holding a rod-like object and sits on a slave with unknown letters on either side of the coin.

On the reverse side of the coin, there is the same naked man, holding the same vessel, but this time he has changed his way of sitting, as if he is sitting on the head of a slave?

Staring at the apparently short-haired, bushy-bearded man on the coin, the warlord snorted through his nostrils, and then he grabbed the gold coins from the bag and let them fall with a clatter, clanging and clanging.

"There is a lot of gold in this country...... "The military minister said with a smile: "It is a good place for my Great Huns to make a fortune!" ”

"The great plough is lonely, this country is not only gold...... but also has a lot of gold," a Xiongnu nobleman bowed and said with a smile: "And there is also a lot of grain and wine, and King Lu Hou has captured thousands of slaves in just three or four villages." Among them, there were as many as four or five hundred female slaves, in addition. Food and wine, the number is not innumerable. The warriors couldn't finish moving, so they had to drink it...... As a result, many people got drunk for a whole day and a night......"

In the whole tent, many nobles immediately swallowed their saliva.

Gold, grain, slaves, wine.

These four things are all longed for by the Huns.

Many people can't even wait to go to that country called Dawan to grab it.

At the foot of the Great Wall, there is a boring time with the Han Dynasty people staring at each other and getting nothing. It's breathtaking!

"How capable are they in combat? How many cavalry were there? The military minister asked.

"Da Danyu, as seen by the minions, this country is basically dominated by infantry troops, with occasional cavalry, and the war horses are tall and handsome, like divine horses!" The nobleman replied, "Just...... This combat capability ......?"

The nobleman smiled and kicked the prisoners of war who were tied up with flowers, and the prisoners of war were immediately frightened. He screamed and looked like he was begging for mercy.

"Da Shan Yu, these people are the noble officials of the Dawan Kingdom!" The nobleman smiled and said, "Look at their cowardice......"

"King Lu Hou only used one charge. They annihilated the hundreds of men they led, beheaded more than fifty, and all the rest surrendered......" he laughed and twisted the hair of one of the nobles. It was a beautiful curly hair, you could see it. Its owner loved it so much, even if it was in prison. I also take good care of it, and there is almost no dust between the hairs.

In the past, this beautiful curly hair fascinated many noble ladies and went crazy.

But now, it is being brutally pulled by the Huns, like fiddling with turf.

"Da Dan Yu, it can be known that after this person was captured, he told King Lu Hou to beg for mercy that his father could take out a hundred bags of gold coins to ransom him!" The nobleman patted the nobleman's beautiful cheek and laughed: "However, King Lu Hou thinks that it is more valuable to dedicate him to the ancestors!" ”

"A hundred bags of gold?" The military minister's eyes widened, and the other Hun nobles also stared at them in disbelief.

There are even people who keep licking their lips.

"Yes, Da Dan Yu!" The nobleman said, "One hundred bags of gold coins, each bag has fifty!" ”

The warlord picked up a gold coin and weighed it in his hand.

This kind of gold coin is very heavy!

It weighs almost five times as much as the copper coins of the Han Dynasty!

And gold is much more expensive than copper coins, at least a hundred times more expensive!

In other words, can such a man be worth the wealth of a county seat in the Han Dynasty?

The military minister and his courtiers looked at each other.

But the nobleman was not going to give up like that.

He took out a bag of coins, spread it out in front of the military ministers, and said, "Da Danyu, in addition to the gold coins, the minions have also found this kind of coin......"

As soon as these coins are exposed to sunlight, they immediately reflect a silvery-white sheen.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted the full attention of the military ministers and others.

Even the color of gold is covered by this little cute brilliance.

"This is silver?" The military minister unbelievably picked up these coins and put them in the palm of his hand, caring for them like treasures.

Silver is much more expensive than gold!

Especially in the Han Dynasty, a pound of silver was worth more than three pounds of gold.

Moreover, the merchants and officials of the Han Dynasty were eager for silver.

They would scavenge for all the silver they could come across, and then make it into beautiful vessels as offerings to their ancestors and gods.

"These silver coins are more than gold coins in Dawan!" The aristocratic official grabbed the weeping Dawan nobleman and said, "The servant asked this person, and this man told the servant that if it was silver, this person's father was willing to ransom him with his equal weight of silver!" ”

When the military minister heard this, he immediately took a deep breath.

Gold, Silver......

This Dawan is so rich!

"It's long overdue for Ben Shan to rob the west...... "The military minister regretted in his heart, deeply saddened by his reckless decision last year.

Grab the south, if you can grab it, of course.

But the problem is that the south side used to be a hedgehog, but now it is simply a tiger.

The facts of the past few decades have told the Huns that the gains outweigh the losses by grabbing the south!

Now, it is even more necessary to lose all your money and lose a huge amount to the end!

The other nobles were also short of breath one by one, and they all said: "Da Danyu, please allow me to return to the west......

Almost everyone can't wait to go to the country called Dawan, grab it, kill it, and vent their grievances and grievances at the foot of the Great Wall in the south.

"What's the hurry?" The military minister reprimanded angrily: "It's going to snow soon, even if we return to the west, it's too late to send troops, not to mention, what is the attitude of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, this single Yu still doesn't know, the ancestral mausoleum and the god altar in Longcheng must not be lost, and the tribes in the south of the curtain will never be lost. ”

Before the military minister's voice fell, a voice came from outside the tent: "Da Shan Yu, the envoy to the Han Dynasty has returned, and he is asking to see him outside the tent!" (To be continued.) )

PS: The Dawan people do use gold and silver coins as currency, and there are a lot of them!

Historically, Li Guangli defeated Dawan, a soldier of the Han Dynasty, and each person received an average of three catties of gold......
