It is a long way from Maolyeung-eup to Unjung-gun. Even if it is a day and night, it will take a few days.

When you go to the clouds, you have to be lucky enough to burst so that you can avoid being harassed by the Huns. Otherwise, war is inevitable.

Originally, Yanran wanted to follow, but Yan Ming would never allow it. But Yan Ming was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so he still brought Yan Ran.

This princess will be bold and willful. If she doesn't agree, I'm afraid she will quietly follow.

"Third brother, how about we go directly to the north from Maolingyi, interspersed from the direction of Shuofang, and go around the grassland of the Xiongnu?" Yan Ming and Wei Qing discussed.

Although he has the final say in all these matters, the jurisdiction of the army is still under the management of Wei Qing. If you want to change the road, you still have to talk to Wei Qing.

Unexpectedly, what ordinary people would refuse, Wei Qing immediately agreed.

"It just so happened that my brother also wanted to go around the Xiongnu realm. If you want to fight, you must be familiar with the customs of the Huns! Wei Qing said with a smile.

"I knew it would be fun to come out with you." Yan Ran clapped her hands and laughed.

Yan Ming and Wei Qing looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Princess, we are not far from the Han border, and we basically can't meet a large number of Hun troops. The possibility of small stocks is not to be a concern. ”

"That's the best, we can kill a few small groups of Hun soldiers to have a good time." Yanran smiled.

In the past year, Yanran has been much more honest because of pregnancy. The honest Yan Ming almost forgot that this princess was a fierce grandmother.

The 2,000 Hu cavalry captains marched all the way north, and after a slow march, they finally came to the edge of Shuofang. At this time, Shuofang City had not yet undergone Liu Che's large-scale construction, and it was still a small city wall. Several Hun invasions have brought this small city to the brink of collapse.

The captain who received Yan Ming and the others last time had already died in battle.

I saw the old place, but there was no old person. Yan Ming sighed and ordered the two thousand Hu cavalry captains to bypass Shuofang City.

He didn't want the remaining people in Shuofang City to see the army passing by, thinking that there would be another war. Sometimes, a well-intentioned deception is also good.

But it backfired.

Just when Yan Ming and the others wanted to quietly pass through Shuofang City, more than a hundred and dozens of people poured out of Shuofang's collapsed city wall.

The leader was an old man in rags, with a wrinkled face and a slightly rickety waist.

"The general has passed since then, but the Han is going to war with the Huns!" The old man asked.

Behind him, among the equally ragged border people, there were old and young, men and women, all of whom looked expectant, and even a few children had already brought out dry food, which did not look very good, but it was the best gift they could come up with.

Yan Ming was very surprised, how did this group of people find that their army was still a relatively hidden army.

Wei Qing cupped his fists elegantly and said, "Uncle, we are from Chang'an, but we are not at war with the Huns. Didn't you just make peace with your relatives, how could you start a war? ”

The construction of Yunzhong County is a secret of a big man. How can this kind of thing be easily told to the people.

The old man's face showed obvious disappointment.

The children in the back also put down the dry food.

"Looking forward to coming and going, looking forward to the officers and soldiers, but I still have to live in fear." The old man muttered.

Yan Ming wanted to say something, but the officials and soldiers in the eyes of their group of people couldn't do anything at the moment. What else can be said?

"Yan Hou! You are Yanhou! Just as Yan Ming rode forward slightly, a young man suddenly shouted.

Yan Ming didn't know the young man, but the young man knew him, and waved his hand vigorously and said: "Yan Hou, last time you captured many Huns, you are the only general in the Han who dares to fight with the Huns, and the border people of Shuofang respect you." The young man shouted.

Yan Ming waved his hand and greeted these surviving border people in Shuofang.

"Forgive the old man for being clumsy, no one is out of Yanhou. Come on, give our food to Yanhou, no matter what Yanhou is going to do this time, our border people in Shuofang wish Yanhou a victory. The old man said loudly.

The ragged children and women brought their treasured 'delicacies' to the crowd.

Yan Ming hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Yan Ming, how can he de!" ”

"Any general who has fought the Huns is a good general." The old man took the lead in shouting.

Shuo Fang's discernment shouted one after another.

It is really worrying and sad to see this group of ragged border people in such a difficult environment, and they still have to send their own good food to the army of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Qing had already turned over and dismounted, took the dry food handed over by the old man, and thanked him repeatedly.

I walked around Shuofang and walked for a long time before camping.

Along the way, the captains of the Hu Cavalry who were originally talking and laughing were silent.

The shock given to them by the border people of Shuofang was too severe. It was as if a huge stone had pressed down on their hearts.

"Chang'an City is a scene of prosperity and prosperity. But who knew that the border people were still living in dire straits. At this moment, Yan Ming deeply felt how much responsibility he had as a Han person and an official of the Han Dynasty.

"Strengthening the country and rejuvenating the country, this is definitely not an empty word. As long as everyone works hard, maintains a good heart, causes less trouble, and is more accommodating, this world will be fine after all. Yan Ming sighed.

Wei Qing listened quietly and nodded.

"Seeing the border people of Shuofang today, I realized what an important responsibility I have on my shoulders as a soldier and a soldier of the Han Empire." Wei Qing said.

“…… Repair my spear, and be with the son, how can I say that I have no clothes......" A low war song sounded softly around him.

All the Hu cavalry captains felt the oppression, they were originally the guards of the Beijing Division. Although some people came to the land of the Xiongnu last time, it was just a dragonfly, and they did not intuitively see the miserable life of the border people.

Especially the five hundred southern troops who had never been to the border pass were even more shocked at this time.

They had never heard of the Huns committing crimes, but they had never witnessed the ferocity of the Huns. I have never seen the dire life of the border people.

Sometimes, the reason why you live in a peaceful place is not that your life is really peaceful. Instead, there is a group of people who use their lives and blood to intercept risks from the outside world outside the country.

There is no shortage of war in this world, and fortunately, we live in a peaceful place. There is such a group of people who pay silently and sacrifice silently to block the risk for us.

Yan Ming looked at the deep night sky, and the North Star was very dazzling in the sky.

"Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, shoot the wolf!" Yan Ming groaned softly.

When Wei Qing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "What is this, it's really good." ”

"It's a rhetoric, it's very atmospheric." Yan Ming said.

"Dangdang-" Suddenly, there was a dense sound of bangs on the sentry's side.

"Scouts of the Huns, scouts who catch the Huns." The sentinels of the night watch ran, rapidly approaching from a distance.
