Chapter 14 This year's snow came exceptionally early
(Prenote: Immortal Heaven is the belief of the Mongolian people, and the totem of the Xianbei people is the red deer, and its belief cannot be traced. Parallel world, don't take it seriously. )
This year's snow came exceptionally early.
The soil of the Saibei grassland also froze early this year.
Because this year's immortal heaven does not seem to be very happy to give their tribesmen a comfortable winter.
On the seventh day of autumn, there will be snowflakes in Saibei.
The scattered ice crystals and snowflakes are beautiful if you look at them from a distance.
But when the snow fell on the grassland, the tribesmen did not think the snow was beautiful.
Because this beauty is a kind of life-threatening beauty.
How beautiful it is, it represents how terrifying it is to bring something to the Immortal Heaven.
Prostrate on the grassland, kissing the cold earth with his lips, he prayed that the weather would change, at least warmer a little, so that this year's grass could grow taller.
Otherwise, this year's cattle and sheep will be killed and injured countless times.
Their Hero tribe had a large population and needed a large supply of food.
If cattle and sheep are killed or injured heavily, it is not only a matter of food, but also of keeping warm.
This year's sheep fur, but there are many children waiting to use this batch of fur to spend this cold winter.
From the bottom of his heart, he prayed that the Immortal Heaven would have mercy on those who had no fixed place.
"Agu!"
From afar, there was a call, and He Ruogu got up from the ground and swept the dust and dirt from his body.
"Aiza!"
He Ruogu waved his hand at the visitor from afar.
Heruiza, his own sister, is also a famous beauty of the tribe of a hundred miles above the grassland.
This famine and winter were approaching, but many of the tribal chiefs wanted to marry Herroiza and give the sheep as gifts.
But Iza is his only sister, and unlike most people in the grassland, He Ruogu loves his sister very much, and hopes that his sister can have a good home.
So he didn't promise someone else's dowry.
He looked south.
There may be enough food to survive the winter, as well as rich land.
He didn't feel guilty about having this thought.
Because they are humble people, they also want to live.
It's like a wolf on the prairie.
When the wolf is hungry, it wants to eat the sheep, and if the sheep is gone, then it will eat the horse, and if the horse is gone, then the wolf will eat the wolf.
Immortality is above.
It's all about survival.
"Uncle Hou's second baby is dying."
Izza's eyes were a little dim, she was wrapped in a somewhat shabby but fortunately thick fur blanket, and her mouth kept breathing, and the heat spread through the air, condensing into a white mist.
She also knows that this winter is not going to be easy.
Sheep and cattle will suffer, and then people will suffer.
She didn't have to make her best milk wine.
In the past, milk wine could be exchanged for some supplies to improve the life of the family.
"Let's go south."
Hearing about the illness of the second baby of the Hou family, He Ruogu couldn't hold it, most of the dolls in the tribe couldn't hold it recently, I am afraid that he can't survive this winter, as the patriarch of the tribe, he has to think about the future of the tribe.
It can't go on like this!
He planned to take the tribe directly south.
Whether it is refuge or plundering, as long as he can solve the livelihood, he is willing.
As long as you can live!
"But...... I heard that the Han people in Youzhou are very powerful, and we may not be able to return safely. ”
Iza is not just a delicate flower on the grassland, but also the female general of their Heruo tribe, who shoots extremely accurately with a hunting bow in one hand.
"In addition to the fierce White Horse General before, now I listen to the news from the tribesmen close to Youzhou, and there is a dark horse general in Youzhou who often hunts those small and medium-sized tribes."
Herroiza's concerns are not unfounded.
Although the Heruo tribe is a large tribe on the grassland, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 warriors in the full battle, and the rest tens of thousands are women and children.
This time to the south, according to Heruogu's idea, it was natural to pour out of the nest, the women and children moved the tribal camp to the south, and the warriors attacked the city as the front army.
He Ruogu had a special idea in his heart this time.
He wanted to do something that few people had ever done before.
He wanted to occupy a city so that his people could also live in a warm room, and no longer have to live in the winter grassland.
He was also very aware of his sister's worries, and he raised his hand to rub his sister's hair and sighed.
"We don't go to Youzhou, we go to Merge."
Since he has this idea, He Ruogu naturally wants to understand the situation of the state, he knows that the state is empty now, Shangdang and Hanoi do not dare to go so deep, and Taiyuan is said to have a Han general who can defeat a hundred, so He Ruogu does not want to touch this mold.
He was aiming at Yanmen County.
Half of Yanmen County, this is the territory that He Ruogu has demarcated for himself.
If he can quickly take this land within two or three days, He Ruogu feels that the Han general in Taiyuan should not come to find trouble for himself.
After all, their Heruo tribe has nearly 40,000 capable warriors, and he has learned that there are only more than 10,000 people who can handle a county.
He also heard about the Han people's military books, and surrounded them.
There should be no one who can mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers to fight half of Yanmen County, right?
He Ruogu just wanted to grab a piece of land as a place to stay, rather than really offending the mold of the Han people.
"Merge the state?"
Herroiza looked to the south, and she longed for the warmth of the land that only existed in the sense of hearing before.
"Go back, there is not much goat milk at home, I made some goat milk wine, you can warm up."
Iza sighed, she told her brother where the milk wine was, and turned to leave.
She was a warrior and she would not be unaware of the pain and bloodshed that war would bring.
She was rejected from the bottom of her heart, but for the sake of her people, she repeatedly violated her original intention.
The Heruo tribe, with a total population of nearly 100,000, was packed up after three days and began to march south with the winter winds blowing from the north.
The speed of action is not very fast, and there are many small tribes along the way.
Some tribes thought that the Heruo tribe was going to attack them and wanted to plunder their food, and some quickly evacuated.
After negotiating with the Heruo tribe, some knew Heruogu's plan and felt that this was a good way, so they chose to join the Heruo tribe.
Because this year's winter came too early, and this year's winter was too freezing, they felt that perhaps they might die on the wall of the Han people rather than being killed in the grassland.
The Xianbei people with the belief in the survival of the land area gathered, bypassed Youzhou, and marched towards Yanmen Pass.
........................................
By the end of October, winter had completely descended on the grasslands.
And the Xianbei tribal group, which gathered nearly 200,000 people, is also only ten miles away from Yanmen Pass.
