Chapter 139: I can't afford it, so let's run
Yuan Xu was imprisoned in Juyong for four or five days, and the Huns sent horses.
The horse was sent by the king of the Hun Zuoguli.
When he saw the salute, Yuan Xu asked, "Why didn't Shan Yu come?" ”
"Da Dan Yu is still preparing horses." King Zuogu replied: "The Xiongnu have a large population, and the various departments are far apart, and it is not easy for horses to gather ......."
"How many did you send this time?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Eighty thousand horses." King Zuo Gu replied.
"The Huns have a population of hundreds of thousands, and it has been four or five days before 80,000 horses have been delivered." Yuan Xu smiled coldly: "Are you teasing me?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." King Zuogu Li hurriedly replied: "It is true that it will take time to raise. ”
"When will it be available?" Yuan Xu asked: "How many horses are there?" ”
"More than 400,000 horses." King Zuo Gu replied.
The Xiongnu will send more than 400,000 horses to Yuan Xu.
Guo Jia and the others were stunned one by one.
Yuan Xu's reaction was very flat: "The Xiongnu only have a population of more than 400,000? ”
"Don't dare to deceive the general." King Zuogu replied: "The Xiongnu population is indeed nearly one million, most of which were captured from the Central Plains a few years ago. Those who were taken captive to the Central Plains would also be sent back with horses. ”
"Tell Hu Chuquan that I can't wait too long." Yuan Xu said: "Nearly half of the ten-day period has passed, and when the day comes, I will personally go to the royal court to discuss." ”
"Can the general be given a few days?" King Zuo Gu Li was embarrassed and said, "It does take time to raise horses..."
"Can't!" Yuan Xu vetoed: "Ten days is ten days, one more day, I won't wait." ”
"You go back." He waved his hand and beckoned the guards to send them off.
In front of Yuan Xu, King Zuogu Li deeply realized what it means to be a weak country without diplomacy.
Yuan Xu refused to forgive time, he could only go back and report truthfully to Hu Chuquan.
After King Zuogu Li left, Guo Jia asked Yuan Xu: "Childe, can more than 400,000 horses?" ”
"How many people did the Huns send back?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Hundreds of thousands." Guo Jia sighed: "It can be seen how many sins they created in the Central Plains back then. ”
"People are more important than horses." Yuan Xu said: "They are willing to send the population back in exchange for horses, and of course I am willing to be a favor." ”
Guo Jia immediately understood what Yuan Xu meant.
After years of war, Hebei has a large population consumption.
The import of hundreds of thousands of people has alleviated the situation.
Pang Tong raised a more realistic question: "Most of the people sent back are women, and they have passed the childbearing age, even if they are brought back to the Central Plains, they will not be of much use." ”
"If you can't have children, let them spin and weave cloth and work in farming." Yuan Xu replied: "Women of childbearing age should arrange to marry as soon as possible, and those who have passed the age of marriage and childbearing are not completely useless." ”
"When is Childe going back?" Guo Jia said: "The matter of the Xiongnu has come to an end, and there are still many things in Hebei. ”
"I said ten days, and I gave them ten days." Yuan Xu said: "Ten days later, the horses and people arrived, and we returned to Yecheng. ”
King Zuogu Li returned to the court of the Xiongnu and conveyed Yuan Xu's words to Hu Chuquan.
Hu Chuquan looked annoyed: "It's only five or six days, and many tribes are far away from here, how can they raise it?" ”
"Yuan Xianxin made it clear that he would not give the Great Huns a way to live." King Zuogu Li said: "I don't think Da Danyu needs to pay attention to him. ”
"What can we do if we ignore him?" Hu Chuquan said: "The king of the left and right Xian led 100,000 warriors to fight with him, how many came back?" ”
"Can't afford to mess with it, we can't afford to leave?" King Zuogu Li said: "The Central Plains can't go, Da Dan Yu led us to the Western Regions." The population of the small countries in the Western Regions is not large, and conquering them is not easy to capture? ”
Qubei's eyes lit up: "What do you mean ......?"
"Don't give it to the population, not the horses." King Zuogu Li said: "Da Dan immediately led us to the Western Regions. As long as he leaves the Hetao, I don't believe Yuan Xianxin can still catch up. ”
Hundreds of thousands of horses, all given to Yuan Xu, the strength of the Xiongnu will definitely decline from now on.
There are also those people who were captured from the Central Plains, and they also did a lot of things to strengthen the Xiongnu.
The population and horses were all given to Yuan Xu, and Hu Chuquan really couldn't afford it.
Nodding, he said to King Zuogu Li: "You immediately inform the tribes, ask them to get ready, and follow me to the Western Regions." ”
"When the ministries are informed, the ten-day deadline will be up." King Zuogu said: "If you want to go, go now, and tell the various departments where to meet." ”
"It was you who saved the Great Huns, and I will never forget your credit." Hu Chuquan said to the king of Zuogu Li: "You arrange for someone to inform the ministry, and I will lead the royal court out of the Hetao." ”
The Huns migrated without Yuan Xu's knowledge.
Two days later, the scouts brought the news to Juyongguan.
"It seems that the horses of the Huns are not available." After getting the news, Yuan Xu said to Guo Jia and the others: "They have been gone for two days, and even if they send troops, they can't catch up." ”
"The Xiongnu are gone, and the Hetao has since fallen into the hands of Gongzi, which is also a credit." Guo Jia said: "It's good to leave someone here to preside over affairs. ”
"I don't want horses, but the population can't let them take them." Yuan Xu said: "I went to chase alone, and Shi Yuan, Jun Yi, and Wen Chang took people out of the customs to welcome me." Fengxiao stayed at Juyong Pass for the time being. ”
"Childe went to chase the Huns alone?" Guo Jia looked stunned: "I can't help it!" ”
"Why not?" Yuan Xu asked, "Can't Fengxiao still trust me?" ”
"It's not that I can't trust my son." Guo Jia said: "There are hundreds of thousands of Huns, and there is only one son, which is too risky. ”
"If you don't take risks now, sooner or later, the Huns will come back." Yuan Xu said: "If you leave the population, it will be Hebei that will be strong." Let them take away, and the Huns will grow stronger and stronger. There is a powerful enemy, and it will eventually become a great problem for us. ”
Guo Jia wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Xu stopped him: "Fengxiao doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind, and I will leave immediately." ”
"When the son goes out, he always has to bring a few people around to take care of him." Pang Tong said: "It is indeed difficult to be reassuring to chase the Huns alone. ”
"My unicorn travels thousands of miles a day, and it only takes half a day to chase the Huns." Yuan Xu replied: "Bringing a few people with me delayed the trip." ”
He stood up: "Do as ordered." ”
Yuan Xu had made up his mind, and Guo Jia and the others knew that they couldn't persuade him, so they had to respond.
Moments later, he rode the unicorn out of Juyong.
Earlier, Wei Yan and others followed, and it was not good to urge the unicorn to go too fast.
This time, no one followed, Yuan Xu urged the unicorn, spread his hooves and galloped away.
The unicorn was so fast that he felt his face almost deformed by the wind.
After walking not far, Yuan Xu stopped.
He took out the ghost harp and summoned several spirits from another era.
Moments later, the Necronomicon brought him a full helmet of a locomotive.
Putting on the helmet and feeling a lot better, he urged the unicorn again and galloped all the way.
