A day later, Zhang Yue got the preliminary statistical report sent by Sima Xuan about the Ministry of Luxury.

After reading it, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be silent.

Before the war, the Hulu Department had about 5,000 settlements.

The population is about 60,000 to 70,000.

It has about 110,000 horses of all kinds and about 800,000 cattle, sheep and livestock.

And now......

There are only more than 3,000 settlements left in the Hulu Department.

Almost cut in half.

What's even more terrifying is that there are more than thirty-two clans, which have been destroyed as a whole.

The number of young and strong men has dropped directly to less than 10,000!

The rest are all women, children, old and weak.

Before the war, the Huluxe had about 2,500 cavalry, but now, less than 500 remain.

At least 13,000 people were killed or missing during the Hujie attack.

More than 20,000 women and children were taken prisoner.

Compared with the loss of population, the property loss of the caller is equally serious.

There are less than 60,000 horses left in his number.

The number of cattle and sheep has fallen to less than 500,000.

This is still because the Han army arrived in time, and if the similar captain Changshui comes one day later, the scale of the loss may be magnified by more than 20 percent!

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire organization and structure of the Ministry of Huluxe have been destroyed in the war.

In particular, the loss of a large number of young men made it de facto a concentration camp for widows and children.

More than 70 per cent of women have lost their husbands, fathers and brothers in the war.

More than half of children have lost their fathers.

The cruelty and destructiveness of war are vividly displayed.

Zhang Yue sighed, sighed, and rejoiced.

Feeling the fragility of life, sighing at the tragic situation of Hu Lu, fortunately the Han family is not a lamb like Hu Lu in this jungle world, but a fierce beast roaring in the mountains, forests and grasslands.

It is the master, not the object of the hunt.

Therefore, such a situation can no longer occur in the territory of the Han family.

Sima Xuan leaned in front of Zhang Yue and asked respectfully: "Shizhong Gong, in the past two days, the righteous servants of Nanchi, Zhushui and the Saixia clan have often taken the opportunity to approach the Huxu camp, and they seem to have some ideas......

"Will the last general intervene?"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Immediately understood, after thinking about it, Zhang Yue said: "General Sima, please go and pass on the order of the envoy: you can't go to the luxury camp unless you have merit!" ”

"Only those who have beheaded the Huns and have military exploits can approach, and at most they can only bring one relative who can prove their direct blood relationship!"

"In addition, there are only members of the Han army outside the family, who can be approached, such as meritorious people!"

Sima Xuan listened, and hurriedly bowed to receive the order: "No! ”

Although he didn't quite understand the intention of Zhang Yue's decision.

But as a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders.

And he is a professional soldier.

Seeing Sima Xuan away, the corners of Zhang Yue's mouth curled slightly: "I forgot that the cultural, customary and aesthetic differences between Han and Wuheng ......"

"I forgot what is the real wealth on this grassland?!"

For the soldiers of the Han family in the inner county, or the Changshui soldiers who were born in the Han land and grew up in the Han county.

Perhaps, the beauty in their eyes is the kind of gentle and elegant, fair-skinned and beautiful, graceful figure, knowledgeable, and virtuous housekeeper.

Under the influence of the Han family, the nobles and middle and upper classes of the inward moving clans also have such aesthetics and habits.

But......

In the steppe, this is not the case!

Nomads who live in pursuit of water and grass must compete with the sky, with people, and with the climate.

Don't care about any of that at all!

The women they value, posture and figure, are not key criteria.

What they value, summed up, in layman's terms, is - big butt and can give birth.

Moreover, those who have given birth to children are more popular.

The more births, the higher the popularity.

Among them, the most popular is the widow who died of her husband with a child and lost her father and brother.

This is like the blue chip stocks that performed well in the stock market in the future and had a bullish outlook.

It is an extremely valuable and cherished resource.

Under normal circumstances, the odds of meeting such a widow are infinitely close to zero, just like winning the jackpot in a lottery ticket.

Why?

Because the widow is good!

First of all, she has proven her fertility. (There is a profit prospect and space)

Secondly, she has also proven her ability to take care of children (management, good structure)

On top of that, she also brought her children! (There are good assets, equivalent to a technology company, but in Pudong or Manhattan, there are thousands of acres of land - in the eyes of nomads, children are really such high-quality assets, because nomads rarely care about blood, green hats, or anything else.) No matter whose child it is, as long as someone can inherit their own family business, it is like Genghis Khan's wife was snatched away, and after taking it back, he gave birth to the enemy's child, and Genghis Khan still regarded it as his own. ）

Now, however, the Ministry of Luxury has at least thousands of these blue chips.

In particular, almost all of the more than 10,000 women and children who were captured by Hujie have such potential.

Therefore, after waking up, Zhang Yue immediately knew that he should firmly grasp these high-quality assets.

And consider them as the most important bargaining chips!

………………………………

With Zhang Yue's order.

Almost all the righteous cavalry were mourning.

But the angel's command is like a heavenly rule.

After the order was announced, no one dared to offend.

Because now, all kinds of legends of angels have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Whether he is from the Saixia clan, or Nanchi and Zhushui, he knows and understands what a great person an angel is.

And the Han army's devastating performance on the battlefield made them deeply shocked.

Who would dare to disobey the command of the great angel in such a situation?

Who dares to make a mistake in front of the Han army of heavenly soldiers and generals?

One can only watch as those who have won military exploits on the battlefield, or those whose families have women married to Han soldiers as concubines, happily and proudly enter those extravagant camps, showing off, flirting and boasting around their goddesses.

Everyone is envious, jealous, and hateful.

Nan Chi Cao is such an envious person.

He lay on a small haystack, looking at his goddess from afar, and smiled in front of other men.

His heart throbbed like a poisonous snake.

The goddess in his eyes is so perfect.

Her wide pelvis was charming and gorgeous, and her rough and dark skin blown by the wind and sand shone with a charming sheen.

Even the strong body odor emanating from her body is so tempting.

What makes Nan Chicao's heart even more exciting is that she still has three children!

The eldest is seven years old, and the youngest is four years old!

There's no better mate than her.

Just marry her......

Nan Chicao knows that he can struggle for at least twenty years less!

First, he didn't have to wait in line for his father and brother to die and inherit their wife.

Secondly, he didn't even have to do anything to get three children.

Three children who may inherit his name in the future.

Moreover, these three children can help immediately, at least they can take care of the sheep and collect firewood for him.

What better option could there be?

Without!

"Well, why didn't I cut off the head of a thief?" Nanikecao was full of remorse.

He remembered the battle the night before.

Originally, he had a chance.

But because of fear, fear, and timidity, he did not dare to come forward, and as a result, the head of the caller was cut off by a man he did not know.

Right now......

The man must have been in that camp, chasing his target.

Maybe even get the favor of several widows!

Thinking of this, Nan Chicao's heart hurt as much as a knife.

He hated himself, why should he be cowardly in the first place!

"Ahcao!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and Nanchi Cao turned around and saw his playmate and Nanchi Hu, who was from the same clan as him, walking over.

"Ahu, what's the matter?" Nanikecao asked.

"Ah Cao, don't you have a younger sister who is fifteen years old this year?" Nan Chi Hu asked.

"Huh?" Nan Chicao didn't understand very well that his sister was a big problem for his family.

I'm fifteen years old, and I still can't get married!

The main reason is to blame his father.

It's so spoiled!

So much so that she was not at all like a daughter on the steppe.

The body is soft and weak, and the skin is white, and the water can be pinched out.

Such a woman is indeed very pleasing to people.

However, few people dare to marry.

Because......

The body is soft and weak, which is equivalent to a sharp increase in the risk of childbirth.

White skin means that they are not good at grazing, boiling fresh milk, and may even lack housekeeping skills.

Such a woman, whether in the Xiongnu or Wuheng, unless she was born in the family of the clan leader, or the family of your noble surname, it is difficult to marry!

This is because nomads marry wives to have children and to help take care of and handle some household chores.

It looks beautiful and is good-looking, and it can't be eaten as a meal.

Unless, she can make the upper nobles tempted beautifully.

And apparently, Nanikecao's sister did not meet this standard.

At least, the nobles of the Nanchi Department don't look down on the daughter of the patriarch of this small clan.

"I've inquired, many soldiers in the Wang Division like women like your sister...... Nan Chi Hu eagerly came to Nan Chi Cao's side and said to him: "You go to the barracks quickly, now, many big men in the Wang Division are selecting suitable women for their subordinates......"

"You go to sign up and recommend your sister to it, so that Master Wang will send someone to Nanchi to pick up your sister here, in case someone takes a fancy to it, then Ah Cao will become a relative of Master Wang!"

"With this identity, you can go to that camp ......"

When Nanikecao heard it, it felt incredible.

He didn't understand, how could a big hero like Wang Shi, an army of big people gathering, like a slender and pampered woman like his sister, who had never even been married?

But......

Think of the thousands of goddesses living in the camp ahead.

As soon as Nan Chi Cao gritted his teeth, he followed Nan Chi Hu and headed in the direction of the Han army's barracks.
