Just like that, in the early morning of the second day, without being whipped by the nobles, the Huns who had been excited for most of the night and were still extremely tired after falling asleep took the initiative to get up and eat... This time it was really not that they were highly awakened, but the Yanmen Mountain wilderness in early winter.

The room is really too cold!

There was no intention of cutting firewood and setting up camp last night, and today they were even more panicked. Most of the lower-level herdsmen just ate some boiled water, some dried wild vegetables that were hard enough to look like, and steamed grains to satisfy their hunger and make them a little rich.

There may also be some dairy products. As for the few people who took out the extremely precious dried meat, they received sympathetic looks from the people around them... For ordinary herdsmen who are not nobles, the presence of meat on their hands can only mean something.

One thing happened, the most precious livestock in his family actually died!

However, even if the nobles had a little more dried meat and dairy products, they were still too coarse to swallow.

Xubu Guduhou personally handed Zhang Ze a piece of dark dried meat, and asked someone to bring him a jar of water from the stream, but Zhang Ze couldn't eat it.

The Great Chanyu sighed, but did not pursue the matter. Instead, he chewed on his own.

In other words, the world is in chaos, the economic order everywhere has collapsed along with the collapse of the political order, and the war has damaged production in all aspects, making life difficult everywhere.

However, even if it was not easy, the Han people still had developed handicrafts and planting industries, and could form an internal circulation economic system in a city or large manor. However, the economy collapsed, lost all trade systems, and even suffered a

The famine-stricken Huns were full of poverty...absolute poverty!

Why did Xubu Guduhou rebel before? To put it bluntly, like the Baibo bandits in the south of Tongjun (Xihe County), they couldn't survive! There was a war in Liangzhou to the west, and then the court couldn't support it, and a famine followed.

Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo bandits, had served in the Yellow Turban Army and had experience in rebellion. He first started trouble in the Baibo Valley, and then went south to the rich Hedong to find food. Then the court asked the Huns to send troops south to rescue them. Everyone was afraid of going south.

Later, the women and children in the tribe starved to death, so he gritted his teeth and killed the Shanyu, and then rebelled against him.

Previously, Xubu Guduhou had always emphasized that he would go to the Hetao in the beginning of spring. In fact, he was not trying to fool others. He really wanted to recuperate in the place that the Han people had voluntarily abandoned... But he could not control his subordinates and kept making mistakes.

, this just seems hypocritical.

After this trip, we will die in Hetao! But if we break the city today, we must eat noodles first!

After thinking about it for half a day, Xubu Guduhou gnawed the dried meat with difficulty, but at the same time he secretly made up his mind again... You must know that in the past two years, when the Han Dynasty was not in chaos and the lake salt in the tribe was selling well, so was he.

People who can afford noodles every meal!

Put some mushrooms in the iron pot, boil water, simmer the noodles, pick them up, sprinkle some lake salt produced by your own tribe, and add some vinegar, it will feel more comfortable than being a god!

But why, how did we end up in such a situation? Haven't we been living a good life for hundreds of years?

If someone hadn't been in front of him, Xubu Guduhou would have almost shed tears.

"Da Shanyu." Zhang Ze looked at the other party chewing dried meat, but suddenly said, "You have to promise me one more thing."

"Lao Zhang, tell me." Xubu Guduhou chewed hard and quickly recovered his senses to deal with it. "I will definitely agree to what you said today."

"This time when I go to Mayi, although the county magistrate and several other leaders of the big clans have gone to Pingcheng, there are still some left-behind officials in the city besides our Zhang family... If things don't work out, you can't kill me!"

"If it doesn't work, why kill you? It's useless."

"If it really doesn't work, and General Wei has sent troops to chase me, you can't kill me easily... My brother Zhang Liao is an official in Luoyang after all. If you really kill me, you Huns will only die more people in the future!"

"Okay!" Xubu Guduhou threw down the dried meat, drank a few sips of water, and stood up. "Don't worry, I understand this truth... If you don't want to eat, let's go to Mayi City!"

Zhang Ze took a long breath, but his hands and feet were trembling, and it took him a long time to stand still.

Marquis Xubu Gudu and the Xiongnu nobles gathered from the surrounding area didn't care either... because anyone else should be nervous at this time.

Under the early morning sun, the Huns, despite their exhaustion, hunger, and cold, began to gather together intensively, and gradually formed a large military formation. Then, under the leadership of their respective leaders, they continued to march southeast along the road crossing and the hillside.

After turning several gentle slopes and arriving at the central basin of Yanmen where Mayi is located, the Huns' vision suddenly became clearer! Under the sunshine in the winter morning, the city of Mayi, located on the impact plain of the uppermost reaches of the Yangtze River, was simply Sparkling, and this sparkling city is miles away in front of you.

"No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to set up a plot here. It is surrounded by mountains to the west, north and south. Once you get to the city, wouldn't it be like catching a turtle in a jar?" Xubu Guduhou stood on his horse and sighed from a distance.

"That's almost enough." Zhang Ze, who was riding next to him, urged helplessly and tremblingly. "The Great Chanyu...that's the same sentence. Back then, the emperor of the Han Dynasty used hundreds of thousands of troops to ambush in these mountains. Today, our Zhang family will be here again. I want to plot a plan, but where are the soldiers and horses?"

When Xubu Guduhou heard this, he smiled bitterly, but he pointed at the countless Xiongnu soldiers and horses in front of him who were surging forward spontaneously and shook his head: "Actually, even if there is an ambush behind this mountain, I can't do anything about it... How can the Xiongnu be counted today?" The Huns from a hundred years ago? Let’s go!”

After saying this, the Hun pseudo-chanyu, who had "a crowd of one hundred thousand people", turned out to be a dozen war horses and headed straight for the city of Mayi.

A few miles away, Gongsun Xun was sitting at the top of the city of Mayi, looking at the Huns swarming in from the north hillside but not even a few flags. He couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment. He waited until several groups of Huns cavalry who were running very fast came. When he reached a few hundred steps in front of the city and was surprised by the dazzling armored gate tower, General Wei, who was wearing treasure armor, a blouse and a black cloak, turned his head and looked to his side. Zhao Yun ordered softly:

"Show the flag!"

————I am the dividing line for repeating old tricks————

"Government of Mayi was intended to seduce the Xiongnu. It was a waste of money and troops, and a single prisoner could not be seen, let alone a single person! After that, he deeply understood the plan of the country, planned the strategy for thousands of years, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. , sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to man the army, and for more than ten years, they floated across the Xihe River, broke the curtain, and attacked the royal court. They chased them to the north, sealed the wolf in Xushan, and Zen in Guyan. Lining the vast sea, he captured famous kings and hundreds of nobles; from then on, the Xiongnu was in terror." - "Dian Lue". Yan. Pei Song's Notes
