"Dare to ask the leader, can this cattle and sheep all over the mountains help the Huns to survive the cold winter?"

Touman didn't reply directly, but raised his head and asked.

His brows furrowed slightly, both a little annoyed by the other party's rude words and deeds, but also pleased with Touman's courage.

At the age of fifteen, he dared to face himself alone, and he could still be neither humble nor arrogant, this kind of courage was extremely rare in the entire Zhu tribe.

He also wondered what the young man was trying to say.

He looked up at the cattle and sheep all over the mountains, and after a little muttering, he said: "The cattle and sheep near Zhuwenze are boundless, if you can really take them all, plus the cattle and sheep that the tribes originally have, it is enough to survive this cold winter." ”

"It's just a pity that with just more than 1,000 of us, it is impossible to take away so many cattle and sheep."

Speaking of this, there was a slight sadness on his face.

His current state is like a greedy man who sees a huge mountain of gold, but he can't move it, and that kind of regret is simply difficult to describe in words.

It's like a person who is about to starve to death, and sees all kinds of delicacies piled up not far away, but can't crawl over and eat them tightly into his stomach.

Hearing this, Touman's eyes showed an astonishing look.

He said with a little excitement: "This cold winter, not only I can't get through it, but the rest of the departments are also the same, and they must be worried about food. ”

"Since it is impossible to take away these cattle and sheep just by virtue of the scarf, why don't you unite with the rest of the troops and jointly send troops to bring these cattle and sheep to the outside of the fortress?"

"All departments of the alliance, there are more than 100,000 warriors who can leap horses, even if the defenders of the four northern counties of Zhao State are dispatched together, we are not afraid!"

"After the matter is completed, the various departments of the alliance will inevitably inherit the favor of our subordinate tribes, and we can also take the opportunity to develop and grow, from medium-sized tribes to large-scale tribes."

When he heard this, he suddenly woke up like a dream.

According to past practice, each tribe in the Xiongnu alliance would basically act alone.

Unless the royal court conscripts and the left and right kings all agree, the tribes will unconditionally obey the order and gather together.

In the past, the Schuggy tribe had plundered very little material by itself, and it was impossible to unite the rest of the tribes to divide the spoils of war.

Today, the situation is very different.

All the Xiongnu tribes were facing a harsh winter, and if they wanted to keep the tribe intact, they had to go south and plunder enough food.

It's a pity that the Qin State is good at fighting, and every time the Xiongnu tribes go south to plunder the Xiongnu, they suffer heavy casualties.

Although Zhao was cowardly, he hid his food very well, and every time the Xiongnu went south, they got very little, like a drop in the bucket.

As for Yan Kingdom, it is the Donghu hunting ground.

Unless the Huns wanted to start a war with Donghu, they would not dare to go to plunder the Yan State at all.

It is so cold this year, and it is expected that the tribes are also worried about the survival of the tribe, and if they learn that there are so many cattle and sheep here, the tribes will definitely fall out of the nest.

Even Shan Yu and the left and right Xianwang may personally lead the troops to the battle.

With the support of the entire alliance, the Schuggy tribe will no longer be afraid of the cowardly Zhao people, and even if the spoils of war obtained by the tribe will be greatly reduced, it will be enough to survive this cold winter.

The most important thing is that if this thing is really done, the entire tribe will become the benefactor of all the tribes within the alliance.

At that time, it was not impossible for the Schurtle tribe to develop into a large tribe, and even a super tribe to look up to.

Thinking of this, his heart immediately became extremely hot.

He stretched out his right hand, slapped Touman, a fifteen-year-old boy, on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I see that you are so excited, or I will leave this matter to you if you unite the various departments." ”

"If it succeeds, I will not hesitate to reward!"

Touman was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to express his gratitude, then stood up and said, "This time I will return to Saiwai, and it will take a lot of time until I lead the troops to arrive. ”

"Even if the nearest tribe arrives on horseback, it will take two days."

"During this period, Zhao Guo will definitely not sit idly by, I have only observed the terrain in the south and found that there is a narrow passage there, which can only allow one or two people to pass."

"The leader might as well have the trees cut down, block the southernmost passage of the canyon, and then send two hundred men armed with bows and crossbows to garrison this place, even if the Zhao State sends thousands of troops, it will be difficult to attack the canyon."

"As long as we can delay for two days, when the tribal warriors arrive recently, we don't have to worry about the Zhao people attacking the canyon and stealing the cattle and sheep."

Looking at the eloquent Touman, he became more and more satisfied.

Matou Mountain, located in the south of Zhuwenze, covers an extremely wide area, the mountain is full of lush forests, and there are all kinds of birds and beasts in the forest.

If it was an ordinary time, the Zhao people would not dare to go deep into this mountain at all, lest they encounter jackals, tigers and leopards.

But today, the mountains are crowded with people, mixed with dense bows and crossbows, spears, with a strong sense of slaughter.

On the top of the mountain, Zhao Jia and Li Mu stood opposite each other.

"Which tribe found the cattle and sheep here?"

Zhao Jia didn't know much about the northern Xiongnu tribes, so he turned his head to look at Li Mu and asked out loud.

Li Mu stroked his beard and said, "The Xiongnu Alliance has more than thirty tribes, including 20,000 to 30,000 super tribes, more than 10,000 large tribes, thousands of medium-sized tribes, and hundreds of small tribes. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, inside the canyon is the Sulpa tribe, which has a population of about 5,000 people, and is a medium-sized tribe."

Li Muxin's handy answer made Zhao Jia admire.

Just through Li Mu's simple reply, Zhao Jia could see that he knew almost everything about the northern Xiongnu tribes.

"Maybe only in this way can Li Mu have the confidence to decide the trouble of the Huns in a battle."

Zhao Jia thought so.

"The cattle and sheep all over the mountains near Zhuwenze, I'm afraid that all the cattle and sheep in the entire Yanmen County will be gathered, and there are not so many."

Zhao Jia asked again.

Li Mu replied with a smile: "In addition to the cattle and sheep in Yanmen County, the cattle and sheep in the other three counties were also secretly requisitioned and transported here, which is why such a fat bait was sown. ”

Since the Hufu cavalry shooting in the Zhao State, the social form has been somewhat close to the nomads, and many places in the Zhao State are not suitable for farming, so many Zhao people are mainly herding.

Li Mu was able to gather the cattle and sheep of the people of the four counties of northern Xinjiang, which shows how far-reaching influence it has in northern Xinjiang.

"Is it fat?"

Zhao Jia saw the sunlight spilling in the forest through the cracks in the dense woods, but he muttered in a low voice.

In Zhao Jia's view, the cattle and sheep all over the mountains are not fat bait, but highly poisonous bait.

Li Mu took advantage of the rare cold winter to find out the psychology of the Huns' urgent need for food, and deliberately gathered countless cattle and sheep on the banks of Zhuwenze.

When the Huns found so many cattle and sheep, Zhao Jia could even imagine how ecstatic they were.
