The march of the Shu County Barracks was a little slower.

Mainly because they were all infantry in the early stage, and later after the imperial court had enough horses, they began to slowly transfer a batch to them.

But even now, it can only barely be done by one person and one horse.

Therefore, the soldiers of the sad South County Barracks could only march on foot.

Logistics or something, can only rely on mules to carry the transport.

Moreover, they sent troops directly from Shu County, and they had to pass through the plateau area before they could enter the Western Regions.

It's not an easy road, and even before that, no one had ever walked it that way.

Moreover, this plateau is deserted, and it is normal to not see a person for a hundred or ten miles, so it is even more impossible to find a guide.

Therefore, when Han Xin's army had already made contact with the Hun scouts, the Nanjun barracks had just completed half of the journey.

But this is also something that can't be helped, although looking at the distance in a straight line, it seems that there is not much difference between the distance between the two.

But Han Shin's northern cavalry traveled all the way west through the steppe, and only a short part of the way needed to be detoured.

And the Shu County Barracks is different, the distance they need to detour, if there is a pedometer, by the time the final settlement, the distance they have traveled is more than double that of a straight line.

Even, if you calculate it this way, it will be faster to go around to the Hexi Corridor.

But Wang Bu was hungry and still didn't let them go around after all, the reason was naturally because that plateau was also one of the targets of the Han Dynasty's future expeditions.

Although the land is barren and the environment is bad, there is only one Hexi corridor, which is still too dangerous and can easily be cut off from people.

Loulan!

Zhao Tuo was still as steady as an old dog in the two cities of Loulan.

Bounded by Yixun and Humi, the people retreated 200 li, where they built new temporary houses, reclaimed the land, and cultivated crops with Han farming techniques.

And these two cities have completely become military cities.

Five thousand men were stationed in each of the two cities, and the remaining five thousand men were scattered between and on both sides of the two cities, responsible for protecting the communication routes and the protection of the rear.

Although the defense was very tight, the Huns did not come here, and even the surrounding area of Loulan gradually withdrew.

Even if the Han army did not take the initiative to test the surrounding area of Loulan, they still withdrew without any nostalgia.

Because of the Xiongnu, there was another discordant voice.

And this voice still comes from the group of people who were forced down before.

The reason why I compromised at the beginning was because I saw the benefits here, and I thought that the Han people would not be able to come for a while, and they had time and opportunity to recover.

But now the situation has changed, and the Han people have come.

Not only did they come, but they also came through the road that they thought was impossible.

And this is still more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 people armed to the teeth.

With the main force of the Han army of this size, the Huns did not dare to attack it easily.

After all, the previous living case is in front of you, even if you have more troops, so what?

The main force of 200,000 surrounded the 30,000 Han army, but they couldn't bite anyone, and as soon as the cavalry that even the war horses were armed appeared, the Huns collapsed in an instant.

Moreover, the blades of the Han army are exceptionally strong and durable, as if they cannot be cut at all.

Then, if another 200,000 people besiege the 15,000 Han army, although it is not without a chance of victory.

But some people are very firm that if they want to defeat this fifteen thousand Han army, the only way is to let them kill, and when they are tired of killing and can't lift their swords, we will win.

The sudden turmoil within the Xiongnu also gave Zhao Tuo more time to deploy.

At the same time, it also gave the entire Western Regions a breather, although the exploitation was more serious, but there were no impermeable pants in this world.

As the abnormal changes of the Huns became more and more obvious, more and more people also learned that the main force of the Han people was coming, and the Huns were afraid, so they were in chaos.

Ahead, Zhao Tuo and Yang Biao each guarded a city.

However, the expected big war did not happen, and they carefully prepared so much, but they waited for a lonely time.

In the rear, there is a golden patch everywhere, and the crops are growing very well, but the scale is not too large.

Although the technology is used, the agricultural tools and other things cannot be solved in a short time.

"Is this Hun coming?"

"Who knows!"

"I heard that the Huns were beaten into grandsons by the Han people in the east, and they had to abandon their wives and sons to come to the Western Regions, but the buttocks were not warm yet, and the Han people came again, and they were directly frightened that they didn't even dare to light up their weapons."

"I'm not happy when you say this, this Han people are too boundless, right?"

"Hey, you kid still don't believe me? Didn't you see how embarrassed the Huns were that day, and when you saw the Han army, they turned around and ran, why do you think our Loulan changed hands so quickly? Isn't it because the Huns were afraid of cowardice and ran away? ”

In the fields, several Loulan people gathered together to chat, very boring, and the topics they talked about were topics that they no longer talked about during this time.

Because of the lack of information, they can only relieve their boredom like this.

As for whether what is said is true, who said it?

It doesn't matter, as long as it can relieve boredom.

"Hey, do you think he's a fool? On such a hot day, he actually squatted in the ground for most of the day, he didn't feel panicked by the sun, didn't he feel a backache? Someone pointed to the Han people who were still busy in the fields and laughed and mocked.

"Maybe the Han people are missing a root in their brains, standing here and looking at it casually, he knows that this piece is growing well, but he has to go in and see it little by little." Someone nodded in agreement.

"You know a fart, people call it professional, what did you say at the time? What is this called through that? Looking at this year and next year and future production? Or what is suitable for planting? ”

"You say it so nicely, why don't you go?"

"Phew, fools only go, they Han people like to toss, then let them go, how good it was to farm before, set fire to it, sprinkle the seeds, and wait for the receipt, since they came, they always forced us to work in the field, tired like a dog every day, although the yield is high, but it is not proportional to our strength, there is more effort to put the fire, not the same can receive so much!"

"That is, there is something wrong with the brain of the Han people......"

Speaking of this question, it instantly resonated with everyone.

Although the southern part of the Western Regions lives by farming, their farming methods are still stuck in the era of slash-and-burn farming.

Although the yield is not high, there are not many people in Loulan, there is land everywhere, and it can't be planted in so many places if you let it go.

But since the arrival of the Han Chinese, it was forbidden to set fires in all places, and it was forbidden to cultivate the land in the previous way.

Everyone must follow the guidance of the Han people to farm, accustomed to the comfortable days of slash-and-burn farming, a sudden change of way, and being stared at to work, one by one the heart of the heart of the resentment continues.

As for the output, they really don't like it.

It's like a person who is tired and tired, laughs when he sees people, and only gets 10,000 yuan a month.

And a person lies at home and sleeps a lot every day, and the only task every day is to drink with friends or go out to travel, but he can collect 10,000 yuan for rent every month, which of these two people live comfortably?

Which life is more desirable?

Don't mention any ideals, don't mention any future, if there is a choice, 99 out of 100 people will choose the latter.

This is an unsolvable problem.

Similarly, the current Loulan people are basically at this stage.

But the difference is that there are more than 10,000 men, women and children combined, which is not as large as the number of Han troops in Loulan now.

In this case, which stupid hat would dare to stand up and fight against the Han people?

Therefore, they dare to complain secretly when the Han people are not there, and then they will never work when they can be lazy, and they have the sense of a black uncle......
