From the perspective of national strategy, it is true that war does not have to be a battle with the enemy to be considered meritorious.

The 100,000 Hun cavalry retreated to the border, apparently with other aims.

And although the bigwigs in Luoyang City are not on the front line, they can basically see what the Huns want to do?

Isn't it just pretending to retreat, and then waiting for Wang Li to order the end of the fortified wall and clear the wilderness, and let the people go home.

Then the Xiongnu made another surprise attack and quickly swept the entire northern border?

The battle report sent back by Wang Li also explained that the environment in Yuyang City was harsh, densely populated, and smelly, and as the weather became hotter and hotter, Wang Li was also worried that it would cause a plague.

Therefore, it was decided to relocate some of the people in the city to the outside of the city, and at the same time to build fortifications and relieve the pressure on the city.

At the same time, many scouts were sent to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy army, and once they found that the enemy army was moving south again, they immediately summoned people into the city.

This can only be a temporary relief, if the Huns besiege but do not attack, besiege for several months.

Even if there is enough food in the city, the probability of a plague outbreak will increase.

So, what should Yuyang City do at that time?

From this point of view, Guan Ying led the main force of the Han army to the south, which brought great pressure to the Huns, so they had to run away in advance.

Although there was no fighting, it directly solved the hidden danger of Yuyang County, and also solved the hidden danger of a possible outbreak of plague in Yuyang City.

Therefore, war does not necessarily have to kill people in order to make meritorious contributions.

Saving people can also make a difference.

Wang Li, who had been prepared to defend to the death, suddenly heard the news that the baby suddenly appeared in the north and the Huns fled when they heard the news.

The worry on his face finally eased.

On the one hand, it was ordered that the people around Yuyang could disperse a little more and keep a certain distance to prevent accidents.

At the same time, he hurriedly sent someone to contact the baby, and the scouts did not relax their reconnaissance of the surroundings.

And those recruits this year are building fortifications while stepping up training and running-in.

This year's batch of recruits is the only group of troops who have not completed basic training for several months since the reform of the Han military system.

However, considering that he went to the front line without time to train, this result is acceptable.

The three Han Dynasty generals met at the border and briefly exchanged their respective information and the current battlefield situation.

The three agreed that the Huns should not stop there, and the war was far from over.

So, Wang Li received the women that Guan Ying and Han Xin plundered from the grassland, as well as 10,000 captured horses and 10,000 cavalry.

On the one hand, Guan Ying and Han Xin sent scouts to follow the traces left by the Huns, and on the other hand, they ordered the troops to rest on the border for two days.

Two days later, the army continued its march and continued the pursuit with the traces left by the Huns.

And after Wang Li got 10,000 war horses and 10,000 cavalry, the defensive pressure on his body suddenly decreased sharply.

With cavalry, it means that Wang Li has more options when it comes to defensive deployment.

So, with a wave of his hand, Wang Li transferred 100,000 recruits from Yuyang and stationed them at the gap in the Great Wall on the border.

At the same time, 10,000 people were selected and the cavalry left behind by the two babies were asked to help train.

As for the harness or something, it was sent to inform the rear to send it quickly.

At the same time, Wang Li also began to arrange for these women from foreign lands to be sent to the south.

Since the plundering came, it was naturally impossible to leave them at the border and send them directly to the interior, wouldn't it be nice to let them be wives and children to the Han people?

Of course, among these women, there were scout families who went deep into the Xiongnu.

Han Xin and the others protected them to a certain extent before, and when they arrived at Wang Li, they naturally had no intention of not protecting them.

Wang Li ordered all the captives to be broken up and then put into different ranks, so that there would not be many acquaintances in the ranks.

People who didn't see it, and they didn't know which team they were placed on.

Tana was not assigned.

Instead, he was taken away directly by the officer.

She knew some Chinese, and she also heard a lot of Han soldiers along the way.

Through her relay, almost most people know their fate next.

They will lose their existing families and then be assigned by the Han Dynasty to unknown men, even unknown age.

The officer led Tana directly into a small courtyard in Yuyang City.

Standing in front of the small courtyard, Tana hesitated.

Could this be the officer's home?

Is he going to do it to himself?

"Nope! I won't go in, I will definitely not be sorry for Aluca, I would rather ......die," Tana couldn't take a step for a long time, looked at the officer's back, and shook her head resolutely.

The officer who was walking in front was stunned, and then turned to look at Tana.

He didn't expect that Aluca still had this ability?

went to the grassland for three years, married a wife, not to mention, and let his wife be so loyal to him?

Although those Hun women knew their fate, most of them did not have too strong resistance, but had a feeling of resignation.

Anyway, it's the same on the grassland, the strong are kings, and the strong can occupy them at will.

It's a rule, a rule on the prairie.

It's like in Dahan, you have to do whatever the elders in the family tell you to do.

The form is different, but the principle is the same.

"It's easy for you to die, what about the child? What about your husband? The officer smiled and continued, "Come in, I won't touch you, and no one here will touch you." ”

Listening to the officer's words, Tana was a little confused.

No one is hungry for my body, what are you leaving me for?

Child?

Husband?

If you are so human, why are you plundering us?

Wrong!

Tana suddenly realized a serious problem.

Although she didn't receive much preferential treatment along the way, she was still treated a lot better than others.

That's how it was on the road, and it's still like this when you get here.

And the source of all this came from showing that her husband was Han and showed them the token.

Tana saw that each Han soldier had a token hanging from his waist, but it was not the same as her husband's.

Tana's eyes widened, she looked at the officer in disbelief, and said in surprise, "My husband is ...... He...... It's the Han Army??? ”

The officer smiled and did not answer Tana's question.

The yard is not big, there is only one room.

There is also a straw hut next to the house, and there is a well-built stove underneath, which has traces of use.

There is a small thatched hut on the side of the courtyard wall.

"It's a thatched house, just pee and there!" The officer said, pointing to the thatched hut.

He pointed to the stove and said: "You can cook here, bottles and cans are all in the house, and there is water in the jar next to it, and someone will come to add water and firewood to you every three days, and at the same time clean up the thatched house." ”

Then he led him into the house, which was a little dark, and the rammed earth house was a little dusty, though it had been cleaned.

Although the house is small, it is divided into three parts.

Pointing to the left, he said: "This is the place to sleep, you can do whatever you want in the middle, and there is food in the jar on the right, all of which are molted and eaten, and they will be sent to you some meat every ten days, but not too much." ”

"Also, remember that you can't leave this yard, and if you're sick or don't feel well, or if you need something else, just hang this on the door, or just tell the person who came to bring you something!" The officer gestured with a sign from the door.

After explaining in detail, and making sure that Tana understood, the officer left the courtyard.

Picking up the grass and beating the rabbits, this time the baby and Han Xin brought back a total of more than 20 scout family members.

Although these people are all grassland women, since they are married to those scouts who carry out tasks, they are also Han Chinese.

Not to mention a woman like Tana who has already given birth to a child for the scout?

These people were uniformly arranged in Yuyang City, and the Yuyang Scout Branch was fully responsible for the needs of life.

Anyway, until the scouts come back, or until it's confirmed that they're dead, they're going to stay here.

You don't have to worry about food and clothing, there is always someone to take care of you.

If you have no heirs, if you die in battle, you basically find someone to remarry.

And if they have children, if they die in battle, the scout headquarters will also find out their identities, and then send their wives and children back to their home of origin, which can be regarded as not being extinct.

This kind of thing doesn't need to be explained from above, everyone knows how to do it.

……

Yunzhong County.

The Great Wall of the Border.

Where Han Shin used to be his seat.

Now the top general here has been replaced by Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi personally led a thousand soldiers to sit here, leading more than 30,000 cavalry left by Han Xin, while training, while continuing to guard here.

It is as calm as water, and occasionally the Yueshi people will come to exchange for some supplies.

Zhang Buyi, who has always longed to be able to lead troops to the battlefield, is now sitting on the city gate tower bored, looking at the green grassland in front of him.

There was a hint of emptiness in his eyes.

Glancing at the food in front of him, Zhang Buyi pursed his mouth, and his face was a little unhappy.

There is no shortage of meat at the border, and the Yue's people will come over from time to time to do it, and Han Xin also left a lot of livestock when he left.

This spring is blooming, everything is recovering, and the livestock give birth to a small life.

Although you can't eat it every day, Zhang Buyi can eat it every day.

There is no picture of killing all sides on the battlefield, but the meat is annoying.

I knew that guarding the border was so boring, even if he was killed, Zhang Buyi didn't want to come.

How good it is to stay in Luoyang, you can still follow Your Majesty to receive edification if you have nothing to do, and you can also fight wits and courage with Sima Xin when you are bored.

When you really can't fight, isn't there still a brother from the forbidden army to accompany you to relieve your boredom?

It's good now, when I come to the border, I enjoy it like an uncle every day, and I don't need to do anything by myself.

Training or everything is a ready-made plan, just keep repeating it every day, and the only thing Zhang Buyi needs to do is to pay attention to the changes in the surrounding situation.

However, every day it comes back is unharmed, fine, and safe.

There is no way, Zhang Buyi can only find something to do.

"I don't want to see meat in three days!"
