The moon sank into the western mountains, the humid air of spring moistened her heart and spleen, and Yun Yue didn't know how long she had been standing in the spring dew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info all say that the northwest is dry, but there is also dew in the spring. It's cold, it's cold! But what is even colder is Yun Yue's heart.

Just now, Yun Yue buried the twenty-three subordinates who followed him to fight in the north and south. These have the old faces of the bearded knights, and there are also the fresh faces of the Great Qin Ruishi. As the coach, Yun Yue fell into self-blame. In the absence of detailed reconnaissance, the rash raising of troops ended in a sullen loss.

In the distance, Donghu people are burning corpses, which is a tradition of the Donghu people. The Horse Leather Shroud is sad to say, and it is even more difficult to do. It's more practical to bring the ashes back, in fact, Yun Yue thinks that the corpse is not fundamentally different from the ashes. It's just that after the tempering of the fire, the rest is just the essence.

The caravan brought back the news of the Western Regions Ma Wushuang Divine Horse, but did not tell Yun Yue. The basic fact that the Wusun people actually know how to smelt iron, and that the smelting technology is very good.

Yun Yue looked at Ao Canghai's saber, although it was not cut like a saw like the Wusun people. But under the vigorous chopping, there are also a lot of gaps.

"Master Hou, your body is heavy in the middle of the night......" Ao Canghai stood behind Yun Yue, his iron armor was already full of dewdrops. He was very worried about Yun Yue's body, and in the past two years, Yun Yue often had a headache and brain fever. It's dangerous several times, and this person is a cool day. In the future, I will take them to fight the world, and my body must not be lost.

"It's okay! A big man can't even stand this bit of dew, how can he take you guys to kill talents. Lao Ao, you are an old man on the battlefield. Tell me, how powerful are these guys? ”

"The swords and horses are skilled, and the strength of each arm is amazing. And their war horses are also very powerful, compared to the Hun horses, whether it is endurance or speed. They reminded me of the cavalry of the Western armies, from the blade to the mount. It's just that their blades and mounts are a little worse than those of the Western armies. So, we may have some casualties. But in the end, victory can still be achieved. ”

"You're right, but Wusun is more than 2,000 miles away from us. This back and forth is four or five thousand miles of land, what should I do after the labor expedition? What if we are gone, and we rebel? Can we still fight again and again? Yun Yue said helplessly, in the end, the Western Regions are still too vast. Far from being controllable by Pingliang's manpower and material resources, this time his hand was a little too long. It's good to be confident, but being overconfident can lead to mistakes, as it is now.

"The last general is willing to take his brethren here to watch, and they will definitely give our best horses to our family." Ao Canghai's heart is relatively straight, he thinks that the saber can solve all problems. While violence does not solve all problems, violence can solve disobedient people. That's what he's always said, and that's what he did.

"The families of the soldiers are all in Pingliang, and they will stay here with you. One year maybe, but two years? What about three years? What about five years? Besides, it doesn't work if there are fewer soldiers stationed there. There are more soldiers stationed there, where does the food supply come from? The soldiers were homesick, the people and land were unfamiliar, and the grain and straw were insufficient. These three things can kill you. Besides, what should you do if you stay here to fight in the Central Plains? The fact that the master of Xianyang can't free up his hands now doesn't mean that he won't be able to free up his hands in the future. Once the hands are freed, a big war is inevitable. ”

"Uh......!" Ao Canghai was speechless, using his brain was really not his strong point.

"We have to find a way to solve the problem once and for all. We want the horses of the Wusun people, and we have to let the Wusun people listen to us. This is more difficult to do, you are looking for it among the captives. I need someone with a higher status, so that Poor Qi doesn't eat people, you can hear it like killing a pig. Yun Yue helplessly pointed to the camp in the distance, and a heart-rending howl came out of the camp tent. This thing is very perverted now, and it actually likes to roast live people. Roasted layer by layer, listening to the screams of the deceased and eating his meat, Yun Yue felt her scalp tingle when she thought about it.

Looking at the land under her feet, Yun Yue was also helpless. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did something similar to himself back then, and that time Wusun Guo smashed the jade horse sent by Emperor Wu. The envoys who humiliated the Han Dynasty finally made Emperor Wu angry and sent a large army to deal with this stubborn country in the northwest. But hundreds of years later, Wusun's descendants are still breeding in the Western Regions. The Western Han Dynasty of Emperor Kewu has become the Eastern Han Dynasty of Guangwu.

There is a seemingly scientific explanation as to why the horses of the Western Regions are so miraculous. Some people say that the grassland grass of the Western Regions is rich in some mysterious substance, and only this grass can be eaten. Horses develop genetic mutations that allow them to have both stamina and explosiveness. Although she was not convinced by this kind of mysterious statement, Yun Yue felt that there seemed to be a little bit of truth. Emperor Wu killed and wounded countless soldiers and recaptured the bloody horse, but after a generation, it degenerated into a Han horse. In endurance and explosiveness, it is inferior to the Hun horse.

Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why farming people choose to farm for a living, rather than grazing for a living. They don't have good horses!

Speaking of the relationship between the farming people and the steppe nomads, Yun Yue discovered a paradox in the field of later historiography. That is, the Huns are all tall and strong, and they take off their clothes for two bowls and eight pieces. However, in Yun Yue's opinion, the facts are far from the legends.

The harsh natural environment and hard life can only make the body suffer. I don't know which bastard said that this kind of environment can sharpen a strong body. The Huns Yun Yue saw were generally not very strong, and their height was a little more than one meter seven. has the head of Yunyue, which is counted as a tall one among the Huns. A lot of the Huns didn't have enough to eat, and you expect them to look like Schwarzenegger?

On the contrary, it is the Chinese people, especially the Chinese adult men in the rich areas of Guanzhong. All of them are one meter and eight tall, and the muscles on their bodies are also strong. As for the Central Plains, which has been in war all year round, it is a little worse. However, in general, the height still exceeds that of the Huns.

Yun Yue's conclusion is that the strength of a person's body depends on nutrition and genes. You can't have one without the other! It's like Pingliang, and now the children running all over the ground are like calves. If an adult is hit, he will be knocked on his head.

This is the supply of nutrients, and now the people are cool. Which family can't weigh two taels of meat every day, beef and mutton are not rare to eat. Only pork is a treasure, and there is no way to let anyone get close to the grassland. There are many cattle and sheep, but not many pigs. Guanzhong people, the Central Plains people can't see the cheap meat, and it is sold in Pingliang more than 30% more expensive than beef. Scarcity is precious, and I am not deceived!

Yesterday, the system malfunctioned, which directly led to the disappearance of the last 20,000 words. …… It's just gone, and the dragon king is now scratching his heart and liver in pain. Painful ...... (To be continued.) )
