Chapter 681: Misunderstanding
When the Xiongnu army collected 30,000, the brothers in the baggage camp began to return to their old business.
The Huns found by the princess were not responsible for cooking, they were only responsible for robbing, and the stolen cattle, sheep and horses became their ingredients.
And before eating, the baggage camp also has to fatten, and raise them for nothing.
As they went, they found that there were more cattle, sheep, and horses than men, and at last the princess did not let them ride, but they were able to climb on the oxen and camels, for the princess had found some camels while robbing a tribe.
Camels are ships of the desert that not only carry a lot of things, but also provide them as mounts.
It's a pity that the total number is still not enough, but you can ride on an ox without a camel.
Bad-tempered cows, once they put on their heads, will inexplicably become obedient cows, no matter how they bully, they will not lose their temper.
A lot of people think about going home and raising a cow. Even if you can't afford it yourself, you can buy it with others.
For the Han people, this is a magical thing, you must buy a horse at home, and then the cow's cow, with a hole in the nose, can obediently plow the field.
Even if you can't afford it yourself, you can buy it with everyone.
Originally, they were already mentally prepared to walk to death.
Now the days spent in the grassland, let them simply feel that they are playing in the mountains and rivers, enjoying the taste that they could not enjoy before, and this degree of labor, in their opinion, only let them loosen their muscles and bones, and there is no labor they came to when they were in the Han Dynasty, they suddenly feel that this kind of life is not bad, if they can live like this with the princess for the rest of their lives, they will be too happy.
Perhaps it is because they don't want to be separated from happiness and make it too far away, so they walk more and more slowly.
It didn't seem to be any good for them to meet the emperor, and it didn't seem to be a big deal to wander around the steppes, even though it was a little colder, but they were well fed and warmly dressed.
And they can also use the cold to tell Qian Rujun that we should go slowly, otherwise the weather will be too cold, and we will freeze.
Even if Qian Rujun has a way to heal, but they are frozen, and there is a lack of medicine here, there is really no way to continue walking, which will affect the speed of moving forward, so Qian Rujun will indeed pay special attention to people's bodies.
, but she also knew that if the emperor left them for too long and could not find food, it would be a great danger to the emperor's army.
On the grassland, it is impossible for the Xiongnu army to find food, and they can rob enough food to rob, as long as they pass through the places where they don't want any tribe to be robbed by Qian Rujun, they can fight to get some food to come over for the army to eat.
It's just that when they found those tribes, because Qian Rujun was not there, for the emperor's army, tying people back would consume food, so the lives of these people could not be guaranteed, and the people in the grassland, although they grew fast and killed too many people, also made the population unable to grow too rapidly.
Killing so many people and brainwashing so many people this time is a big damage to the grassland. If Qian Rujun takes everyone away, it will be a disaster for the people of the grassland.
Qian Rujun didn't know if God had the virtue of a good life, but he only knew that if too many people died, then the wild animals here would occupy the absolute ruling mechanism.
That's not a great thing for humans.
Originally, Qian Rujun should have sent those sergeants in the army to go out to find the emperor's traces, but she would go to the sky every morning to inspect whether the emperor's men and horses appeared, or whether the Xiongnu Shan Yu's men and horses appeared, she knew at a glance, and from the way he looked out, it could be found that the path he took may be different from the emperor's choice.
Or maybe it's because she's walking very slowly in the case of fishing for people, so she can't keep up with the speed of the escape team.
It's just that Qian Rujun thinks that running for his life is running for his life, logically speaking, these people always have to stop to eat, right?
In the absence of a baggage camp, the emperor's food is a big problem, and seven days have passed, and many people may have starved to death.
If you don't find the emperor early, this is an act that endangers the lives of the Han people, even if you don't think about the emperor Liu Heng, you have to think about the people of the Han Dynasty.
If it weren't for the existence of the emperor, Qian Rujun might really take the people of the baggage battalion to sweep the grassland and brainwash the nomads of the grassland.
In this way, the steppe tribes will settle down, and at least at the closest point to the Great Han, there will be a human-shaped wall that can help keep the nomads further north.
In fact, Qian Rujun saw in later generations that most of the ethnic groups on the grassland had actually settled, rather than wandering around.
Qian Rujun carefully observed the life of the people in this place, and found that they almost mainly eat meat, and relatively in the south, meat is quite valuable, and he may feel that the people who eat meat in the north are really rich.
However, if they always eat meat and do not eat grass, it will be harmful to their body, and in the case of lack of certain nutrients, the life expectancy of people in the grassland will not be long! The grassland is particularly fond of the south, and this is also the reason for the tea that is transported.
But Qian Rujun found that in this era, things like tea were not common in daily life in the Han Dynasty, let alone sold to the north.
The average steppe tribe could not afford it, mainly because they could not carry their cattle and sheep south.
Just as the South knows that the North feels very fond of their guns and shells, so it is forbidden to export, and the North also knows that the South likes their horses, cattle and sheep very much, so in this era, horses, cattle and sheep are also considered strategic goods and are not allowed to be exported to the South.
In the 21st century, everyone is accustomed to wool as a valuable clothing product, but in this era, wool and lanolin are not actually produced.
If you don't pay attention to it, wool is simply treated as garbage.
Even though Qian Rujun's workshop has begun to use a small amount of wool, and even the wool of various livestock, the amount is not very large.
The main thing is that the raw materials are still expensive, although they are treated as garbage, but after long-distance transportation is a major freight problem.
It is a big problem for the grassland to transport cattle and horses to the south, but it is a small problem to collect wool to the south to the island, and the problem is that most people do not know that there is a demand for wool in the south, so they do not come to the north to purchase wool.
If the peoples of the north had found wool to be a precious item to be sold for food, perhaps they would have become more dependent on the south.
After all, it is their duty to raise horses, cattle and sheep, as long as they do their duty, and they can get food without spending their lives, blood and tears to rob, and for them, it is their nature to choose simple things.
For the emperor, maybe the baggage battalion has already been killed, right?
"Have you found the princess?"
The emperor needed to replenish food, in fact, the Xiongnu needed it more than them.
The Xiongnu Shan Yu, their method of supplementing food is very simple, that is, to find nearby, nomadic people, to ask for cattle, horses and sheep.
and when they are slaughtered, they will have something to eat
They set out from the steppe near the Caucasus Mountains to the place where they fought with the Han Emperor, in fact, they had already eaten almost all the food they brought.
Emperor Liu Heng's choice of timing was very ingenious.
When they had no food, they suddenly decided to turn around and run.
The Huns were only subconscious, of course, they had to catch up in a hurry. For Xiongnu Shan Yu, isn't it normal for the Han people to escape?
At this time, Emperor Liu Heng actually asked for a lot of food from Qian Rujun that could be kept for a long time, and even everyone carried a month's worth of food.
When they ran away, they were not as pitiful as Qian Rujun imagined, but after careful consideration.
They and the Huns were almost in circles in circles.
After turning several large and small circles, Xiongnu Shan Yu came to his senses.
To compare strength, the Han Emperor is not comparable to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, I heard that the Xiongnu Shan Yu can be on the horse, running upright, in the hand to let the dancer stand and dance.
Emperor Liu Heng was able to pick up a palace maid, which was already remarkable.
Basically, he is a weak emperor.
"This stupid boy didn't go with the army! In fact, the baggage camp will be fine if it stays where it is, and their life skills have long ensured that life is worry-free. The baggage battalion just needs to stay where it is and wait for us. ”
Now the baggage camp is completely gone, and we can't find the baggage camp in a month, so we will really die in the grassland.
Moreover, if they encountered the Xiongnu and took the food by them, it was not important to take away the food to replenish the food, and more importantly, their lives would be in danger, and for the army, the importance of the baggage camp was now very clear to the emperor.
So he had to get rid of the Huns quickly.
The reason why the news was not communicated to everyone was to know how the Han army would react to such a thing as escaping.
If there was a panic in the hearts of the people, Emperor Liu Heng felt that it was better to cripple the Xiongnu and return to the court.
If the willpower of the army is relatively strong, then, perhaps, he can go all the way and kill it, with Qian Rujun's brainwashing method, for him, putting this land under the management of the Han will no longer have any problems, and it will even be more convenient and easier to manage than the Han Dynasty, because they will hardly violate the military order, and it is better than the army of the Han Dynasty.
They can be used as soldiers, the army of the Han is good at farming, producing food, making food, then let the Han people concentrate on farming and making food, and the army is in the front, they can concentrate on fighting, even if some people die, the emperor will not feel distressed, the people of the Han Dynasty, in the past, he felt a lot or almost a lot.
Now, like Qian Rujun, he feels that there are too few people in the Han Dynasty, because he has realized that the new way of farming, the new way of farming, a person can track a lot of grain without much land, and it is not necessary to feed a person at all, as for the people with so many fields, as long as they are taught how to cultivate.
"The subordinates are incompetent!"
If this person was beheaded by the emperor, Qian Rujun would probably waste a thousand points.
If he hadn't been beheaded, maybe Qian Rujun would have been able to call him over and tell him to do something so that the points would not be wasted, at least, this person would have to earn back a thousand points for him, otherwise Qian Rujun would have felt that he had lost a lot of money.
Qian Rujun now feels that she is a person in the points business.
In life, it is points to earn points, but also to lose points.
In five days, Qian Rujun, who was walking, had already run a long way, and the emperor himself was still circling in circles.
When the Xiongnu chased after Emperor Liu Heng, he himself felt very puzzled, why he chased people, and the number of people chasing was getting smaller and smaller.
On the evening of the fifth day, when he stopped to rest, he found that there were only 118,000 men left in his party, compared to more than 30,000 when he set out.
Emperor Liu Heng also had a headache, and he captured 12,000 of the most elite, the more cowardly among the Xiongnu warriors. Now it can only make them hungry.
If Qian Rujun was still by his side, she would be able to turn these people into her own, but this sergeant did not bring Qian Rujun back.
Take the most critical point of all the ideas, the most wonderful point, and steam it out.
If you want to help these people prepare food, it is unlikely, because none of them in this group will prepare food, and it is unfair to the Han soldiers to distribute the food to them, because if they don't find Qian Rujun, they will also have to forage for food along the way.
When the emperor thought of foraging, he suddenly discovered that its foraging ability was not as strong as Qian Rujun, and now, his horses had a problem.
They refuse to eat grass and gradually weaken.
Since Qian Rujun was nearby before, the forage was all prepared on the spot, and she was not asked to prepare more, maybe Qian Rujun had enough forage around her, but these forages could only be scrapped and could not be sent to him.
"Qian Rujun, where did you go? It won't really happen, right? If you really have an accident, it will be the biggest damage to our Han Empire, but I have been following behind, the Huns' buttocks, and I haven't seen your existence, where did you go? There is no protector, even a small Xiongnu tribe, it will cause a crisis to you."
"Now the Huns are chasing, in the back, if I send soldiers and horses to search, you are also likely to cause losses to these military horses"
"Your failure to come with us is really causing a lot of problems for our army!" the Emperor lamented to the heavens.
People are not as good as heaven.
"There must be a problem" Hun Shan Yu suddenly stopped his steps and stopped pursuing after discovering that his men and horses kept falling and disappearing.
"What the hell went wrong?"
He was in a hurry. Asked his subordinates.
His subordinates, if you look at me, I will see that you can't answer.
At the rear of the army were some old and sick.
