Some people see this kind of thing as a grand festival and how it is worth commemorating, but after all, it is just a man-made thing. For some people, there is really no big difference between the past and the end of the year, the cold weather is still cold as usual, and the things that should not be found are still not found.

"Big brother, do you want to tell our father, it's the New Year, improve the food......"

In a certain grass hut in the wilderness, Sima Zhao looked into the distance, and the small mountain village in the ravine in the distance seemed to have lit a bonfire to celebrate the New Year, and the light of the fire reflected in Sima Zhao's pupils, but he could only feel the coldness around him. He broke the cold and hard bun in his hand, a few pieces of debris fell off, he swallowed his saliva, and finally chose not to put it in his mouth.

“……”

Sima Shi glanced at his younger brother, and then turned his head to look at Sima Yi on the other side. The latter was sitting in a magic array, the purple fluorescence was even more gloomy in this moonless night, and in this gloomy place, Sima Yi was trying to search, the real location of the searcher who killed 300,000 Zhao pawns in the white pit back then, but the unjust souls of 300,000 Zhao pawns at the Chinese New Year's Eve did not accumulate into a place of resentment that was easy to detect, but was gradually buried by the dust, buried deep underground.

"If you're hungry, go hunting by yourself and come back early."

Looking at that posture, it seemed that their father's search and sensing array would continue for a long time, and it would not hurt Sima Zhao to slip away.

"Good!"

Hearing Sima Shi say this, Sima Zhao immediately smiled on his face, carefully glanced at Sima Yi, who was still focused on the magic circle, and then turned over and ran out.

Sensing Sima Zhao's departure, Sima Yi silently turned his head, first looking at Sima Zhao's back, and then at Sima Shi, who bowed slightly to him, and he refocused on the magic circle with confidence.

Compared with Sima Yi in another time and space, Sima Yi in this era seems to have implemented eccentricity more thoroughly, and his trust in Sima Shi is not as good as that of him in another time and space. But it's no wonder that from the perspective of Sima Shi in the historical line, he is indeed a very capable person, he has only been in power for two or three years, but he can be posthumously named Emperor Jing by his nephew Sima Yan in the future, Sima Yan rules the world with filial piety, but on the other hand, without Sima Shi's foreshadowing and consolidation, Sima Yan will not be so smooth to take the Wei Dynasty.

Although the beasts were dormant in winter, Sima Zhao was a domain-level military general after all, and it was not difficult to hunt beasts with enough food for a meal, and after a while, he came back with a few small beasts.

"Father, brother, you see, a hare, two pheasants, I don't know how they spent this winter, spring is about to begin, and they still look so fat."

Sima Yi, who had just finished the investigation but found nothing, didn't have the heart to respond to Sima Zhao's words, this search had passed three or four months, but they were still wandering around this ravine, it stands to reason that the battlefield site where 300,000 people were killed should not be difficult to find, but the clues displayed in the magic circle were always vague, even if Sima Yi's heart was good, he was a little careless.

But when his gaze inadvertently turned to the few small beasts that Sima Zhao was carrying, his gaze suddenly lit up.

"Wait!"

He suddenly spoke, stopping Sima Zhao's hand that was about to disembowel the little beast, he walked up to Sima Zhao and carefully examined the little beasts.

"How ......"

Sima Zhao just wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Sima Shi's eyes. However, Sima Yi's expression was first puzzled between observing the little beast, and then gradually became clear, and finally turned into a sudden realization.

"Found it!"

With Sima Yi's exclamation, the two brothers glanced at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, they naturally knew what Sima Yi had found, but they didn't expect that in the past three months, they had almost turned this piece of mountain and forest upside down, but the last clue was on a few little beasts.

"You see, these little beasts are not really that fat, but edema, edema, caused by yin qi soaking into the body!"

"This ......"

Sima Zhao really didn't notice this, he was about to take a good look, but he was stopped by Sima Yi.

"Where did you catch it, take me to see it!"

……

Xihe County, Emperor Wu was established, because of its proximity to the frontier, it belonged to the Shuofang Thorn History Department, and Emperor Guangwu was reassigned to the state. And if there is chaos today, Zhang Yan led the bandits to entrench themselves and merge the state, and Xihe County naturally became Zhang Yan's territory. However, Zhang Yan's bandit army's control of the local area was far less than that of the official army, so the Xihe River located in the frontier naturally became the first choice for the Xiongnu to invade.

This side is the bandits, the other side is the Xiongnu, under the joint invasion of the two sides, the people of Xihe are naturally miserable, but recently, the people of Xihe seem to have seen the hope of improving their lives. For no other reason, the bandit leader who is currently entrenched in Xihe seems to be a good person.

The leader of this bandit is named Yu Dabao, it is said that he was the commander of the pioneer battalion under Zhang Yan, after Zhang Yan Leping was defeated and died, I don't know what means this Yu Dabao used, but he was entangled in a large wave of remnants of the defeated generals, fled all the way west, and finally settled in this Xihe County.

Unlike other bandits, this Yu Dabao adheres to a somewhat strange "way of loyalty", although some of the things are difficult to understand, and it is quite unaccustomed to daily observance, but at least this Yu Dabao is doing practical things, and the biggest practical thing is the change of attitude towards the Huns.

Previously, Zhang Yan's attitude towards the Xiongnu was very ambiguous, compared to the ordinary people in the territory, he cared more about the benefits he got from the Xiongnu, whether it was a military horse warrior or a witch blessing secret medicine, even if it was a Xiongnu woman, he was happy to laugh, and in exchange for the benefits he obtained, it was to acquiesce to the Xiongnu's incursion of many people in Xihe - in his opinion, who the people let rob is not a robbery, even if the Xiongnu do not rob, he will rob, and let the Xiongnu rob, he can even get a lot of benefits from it, except for the Xiongnu woman, What other thing is not at a market price in the Central Plains?

But with Dabao's tendon brain, he can't think of those twists and turns, or even if he thinks of it, he may not necessarily follow Zhang Yan's actions, in his opinion, since he is the boss of Xihe County, then the people in the county should be protected by himself, so he treats the Huns, his attitude is tough, it makes the Huns feel unbelievable - is this still a bandit, the officials and soldiers are not as fierce as him.

Moreover, what Yu Dabao didn't know was that his tough attitude towards the Huns had invisibly consolidated his control over many bandits under his command - every time he fought against the Huns, he let his bandits divide on the spot, and it was actually very simple to control the bandits, as long as there were enough interests and enough hope, they could be exchanged for enough loyalty - not to mention that it was not too difficult for the bandits to fight against the Huns, compared to the official army, they had more patience, squatting in a village for several days or even half a month, You have the opportunity to capture several good horses, and it's a sure deal!

So, Yu Dabao's days were spent peacefully in the friction with the Huns, from the beginning of winter to the winter solstice, and then from the winter solstice to the first month, and on a certain day in the first month, there were three more uninvited guests in front of his cottage.

Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao.

"Big brother, we seem to know the one who took the lead."

Looking at the one who took the lead among the several people who came to interrogate, Sima Zhao seemed to remember something, and he subconsciously touched the top of his head, where there should have been a young bud growing before.

I have indeed seen that when Zhou Ping had not yet gained momentum, the two brothers had prepared to make a move on Zhou Ping alone, and Sima Shi used psychedelic methods to confuse Yu Dabao and his subordinates at that time, if it wasn't for Hua Tuo's timely rescue, maybe Zhou Ping would have really been planted there.

After being reminded by Sima Zhaoyi, Sima Shi also remembered what happened, and a trace of embarrassment seemed to rise in his heart, but this embarrassment only lasted for a moment before he forcibly suppressed it.

"Smack!"

Without waiting for the person from the other side to speak, Sima Shi snapped his fingers in front of him, and a cloud of lilac smoke drifted over with the snapping of his fingers, and in the next moment, the expression of the person on the other side became a lot more respectful.

"Sir...... You're coming. ”

"Take us to your heads."
