The winter in the grassland is very difficult, not only the cattle and sheep are easy to freeze to death, but even those herdsmen, after a snowstorm, may freeze to death.

Some small tribes, such as a herd of lost lambs, will secretly worry about the beginning of the long winter in the north, and can only pray for the blessing of Tengger Heaven to give their people blessings, so that their cattle, sheep and horses will not be exposed to the wind and snow.

This kind of prayer is generally useless.

Every year, nearly one-tenth of the grassland tribes are buried by one wind and snow after another, and since then they have disappeared and disappeared in the vast grassland.

Therefore, there are many very mysterious legends on the grassland: every time the flowers bloom in spring, the Gesang flowers everywhere are the souls of those dead grassland girls, and they return to the world in another way of life.

For this beautiful legend, Yang Chuan has never believed much.

This man, if he is dead, he is dead, and he has turned it into fertilizer to make the pasture and wildflowers on that side of the meadow more lush, which is still more reliable.

As for becoming an eagle, a Gesang flower, or even a vulture or something, it's almost all nonsense, and it's purely used to deceive people.

Because, as far as Yang Chuan knows, there are many 'beautiful legends' of the Huns, and after tracing back to the roots, you will be surprised to find that these deceptive things are basically from the 'readers' on the grassland-

Sacrifice.

Or, call it a priest.

Each tribe has a different god stick, and the name of the sacrifice is also different, but it is roughly the same, basically deceiving people through nonsense......

For example, the so-called Tengger Heaven has never favored poor shepherds, nor has it ever favored weak tribes.

On the other hand, for those powerful tribes, even if they have done too many evil deeds, they still have wine and meat, and there are enough women in each tent for them to cause trouble......

……

After entering the Mobei grassland, Yang Chuan was very silent.

Cousin's father, Ama wine, they are also very silent; The tribes that were selected to carry out the mission were even more silent because they were too nervous.

This time he came out to 'hunt', Yang Chuan thought about it, and after all, he didn't dare to send the Yulin Army to participate.

He didn't want to give Liu Che too much handle in some trivial matters, and let the man who dreamed of dominating the world pinch it at will......

This is a very secret mind, Cao Xiang doesn't understand, and Huo Qubing doesn't understand either, but Yang Chuan clearly knows that in this bullshit world, what can be done freely, and what must not be reached.

For example.

The transfer of the Yulin Army is definitely Liu Che's reverse scale, and it is the bottom line of the old man in Chang'an City.

Therefore, Yang Chuan would rather sneak into the hinterland of the grassland with a group of 'miscellaneous troops' than let Huo Qubing and the more than 1,000 forest orphans participate in the operation.

Of course, the reason why he is so 'steady' is actually another careful thought, that is, he is in Shuofang County, and he doesn't want Liu Che's hand to reach too deep.

Because he didn't have any decent combat effectiveness, Yang Chuan was extremely cautious about this 'hunting operation', and all the links and every road were carefully considered to ensure that he would not lose anything, and he could bring back tens of thousands of Huns.

This is very difficult.

However, with the help of Tangyi's father, Sister Leopard, Silly Eagle and the group of half-grown children, it went unexpectedly well.

I have to say that at any time, whether it is a 'traitor' or a 'traitor', as long as there is someone within us to lead the way, many things will become simpler......

Of course, Tangyi's father is also under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, on this way north, the Huns became more and more silent day by day, and their faces became more and more gloomy day by day, often at night, they would walk out of the tent and look at the vast grassland in a daze.

"Uncle Tangyi, don't you want those Huns to go to Shuofang County?"

On the ninth night of entering the Mobei grassland, according to Yang Chuan's plan, starting tomorrow, he would go back.

This also means that on the way south, many small tribes of the Huns will be exterminated, some young and middle-aged warriors who do not obey the discipline will be killed, and those old people, women and children will be driven to Shuofang City along with their cattle, sheep and livestock.

Therefore, Tangyi's father looked in a very bad mood, standing on the vast snowfield, looking very melancholy at the grasslands, hills, and deserts in the distance at night.

Hearing Yang Chuan's words, Tangyi's father turned his head with some difficulty, and said angrily: "Son, from tomorrow, we will turn back." ”

Yang Chuan smiled and pointed in the direction of due north: "Over there, there are more than two thousand three hundred miles, which is our Luding City, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Tangyi's father shook his head and said in a dull voice, "Can you kill fewer people?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head: "As long as someone resists, they must be killed." ”

He took out a deerskin wine bag from his arms, unplugged it, and poured a few large sips of it himself, and then handed it to Tangyi's father: "Uncle Tangyi's father, come, drink a few sips of wine and warm your body." ”

Tangyi's father took the wine bag, but did not drink it immediately, but stubbornly asked: "Childe, can you kill some fewer people, I beg you." ”

As he spoke, the Hun suddenly fell to his knees on one knee and cried like a child.

"Those small tribes of the Huns, in fact, live a hard life, there is not enough forage, grain, cheese, encountering such a heavy snow this year, many people will freeze to death, basically have no way to live......

Tangyi's father pleaded in a low voice, but Yang Chuan never let go.

Those small tribes of the Huns, in fact, in the past few hundred years, the main force of the southward raid, plunder and slaughter, compared with those Xiongnu nobles, they live a hard life, but also ferocious, simply a group of jackals, every time they enter the Han city, village, burning, killing and plundering, all evil.

Even, there were some Huns who would kill all the men in the Han villages, and then use ropes to string all the women and children, which could be brought to the grassland, and could be exchanged for a large herd of cattle, sheep and livestock; But when there was no food ration or a crisis, they would slaughter the women and children like lambs, boil them and eat them.

Some Hu people in later generations still have the tradition of 'two-legged sheep'.

Yang Chuan estimated that those beasts should be a kind of evil bloodline formed after the indecent development of some small tribes.

For this kind of beast, once encountered, it must be cut down and eradicated!

Of course.

People change, and in a certain environment, some people will eventually become good farmers, good cooks, and good miners......

"Childe, count me as my cousin, and my father begs you."

"I just ask for a son, when I kill those Huns, I can have mercy on ......"

The cousin's father is still pleading.

Yang Chuan walked over, helped Tangyi's father up, and said warmly: "Uncle Tangyi's father, do you have a way to let them obediently follow us to Shuofang City?" As I said, as long as I don't resist, I don't want to kill anyone.

There are so many fertile fields in Shuofang County, I lack the manpower to reclaim wasteland, as long as you can find a way to get those Huns to cooperate, I can kill fewer people.

Even, don't kill. ”

Tangyi's father thought about it, shook his head with a gloomy expression, and said, "Tangyi's father can't do it." ”

Yang Chuan smiled: "You can't do it, I can't do it, in fact, no one can do it." ”

"The Huns are used to living on the steppe, herding sheep and horses, this is their paradise and at the same time their hell, but they just don't want to leave."

"I can actually understand this."

"People, there are always some stubbornness and persistence that are difficult to understand, the Huns are reluctant to go to Shuofang County to farm, on the one hand, because they feel that their roots are in the grassland; On the other hand, in fact, it is more important, that is, they are actually very envious of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, they are jealous, hateful, and fearful......"

It's rare to see, Yang Chuan talked a lot, a lot with his cousin's father.

Some things that have never been told to people's hearts, he also said them in one go, and he didn't care whether the Huns understood it or not, anyway, he just wanted to vomit it as soon as possible.

In the past few years, he has been holding half of his stomach out of place.

Naturally, he also held back half of his heart, he felt that if he didn't find a chance to say it, he would be suffocated by that bad breath, and eventually, he would become a devil.

The wind in Mobei is very fast and cold, rolling up strands of snow slag, under the hazy moonlight, it looks very weird, like a group of lonely ghosts, wandering in the cold land.

There is no home, there is no hope, which makes Yang Chuan's mood very bad.

"Uncle Tangyi's father, it's man-made," Finally, Yang Chuan patted Tangyi's father on the shoulder, and said warmly: "I can only guarantee that all those who go to Tuntian in Shuofang County, whether they are Han or Xiongnu, I, Yang Chuan, will treat them equally, so that they can live a relatively stable and prosperous life." ”

"Uncle Tangyi, my first hope is to have a field near Chang'an City, a kitchen, and a kitchen knife that works, so that the people around me can live a life of being alone."

"Now, my heart is a little bigger."

"I hope that all the people in Shuofang County under my rule can have a field, a kitchen, and a handful...... A kitchen knife that chops vegetables and meat can eat a mouthful of hot rice, sleep peacefully, and have a relatively fair and prosperous life. ”

Tangyi's father nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Childe, thank you." ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back and sleep for a while, and set off tomorrow afternoon, let's go back......"

……

The way back is simple, brutal, bloody and emotionally stirring.

It's a very strange feeling.

Yang Chuan sometimes reflected on himself, and asked these Huns to leave the grassland crying and go to Shuofang County to be some relatively stable and prosperous farmers, whether it was right or wrong.

I think about it a lot.

Yang Chuan finally comforted himself: "Just do it, that's right!" ’

However, after destroying the small tribe of the third Huns, the cousin's father, who had always been very sad, suddenly found Yang Chuan and said that he had thought of a way to talk to Yang Chuan.

Yang Chuan agreed.

For this Huns, he has always been a little wary, and he will hide many really secret things intentionally or unintentionally; Of course, in the past two years, on the surface, there is no problem with his trust in his cousin's father.

"Uncle Tangyi, what's the matter? Why are you still chattering? ”

Walking out of the tent and following his cousin's father out for one or two hundred steps, the Hun finally stopped, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "Childe, I have thought of a way, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Yang Chuan saw that there was something wrong with his father, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Between people, that's roughly the case.

Tangyi's father was a Huns...... Later, the Hun general Zhao Xin, who almost killed Wei Qing, was not a Huns?

What's more, when he had just returned to Han......

"Childe, I want you to be the Khan of Heaven again," Tangyi's father took a deep breath and said, "On the territory of the Han Dynasty, it may bring great trouble to Childe, but we can't go on like this; ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Chuan was secretly taken aback by his father's words: "Son, we destroyed three small tribes and killed more than 200 people, but we only grabbed more than 500 women, children, and dozens of old people. ”

"Gongzi wants to be in Tuntian, Shuofang County, and needs more young and strong, but we have to kill them all, isn't this a loss-making deal?"

Yang Chuan smiled: "Uncle Tangyi, what do you say you should do?" The last time I pretended to be a heavenly khan, I almost let Da Nagato Cui Jiu kill me. ”

Tangyi's father shook his head and said, "That time, we didn't have any experience in interacting with people, and we always felt that as long as you were kind-hearted and didn't hurt others, others would treat you as your own; But Childe, it turns out that we are all wrong, even if my cousin father takes out his heart and dedicates it to the emperor of your Han people, he will not really trust me, a Hun person. ”

Yang Chuan looked Tangyi's father up and down, and asked with a puzzled smile: "Uncle Tangyi's father, are you okay?" ”

Why did he feel that this Hun was very wrong, not only did his brain turn fast, but he spoke so well......

Tangyi's father shook his head and said, "Childe, don't doubt the words of a servant who is loyal to you, just as you shouldn't doubt Sister Leopard's trust and dependence on you." ”

Yang Chuan rubbed his cheeks a few times and said with a wry smile: "You confused me...... Tell me first, let me pretend to be a day khan, what do you want to do? ”

Tangyi's father said: "It's not for you to pretend to be a Heavenly Khan, but for you to become a real Heavenly Khan." ”

"Childe, to tell you the truth, every time you say that you are a pretending Heavenly Khan, I am very sad, and I feel that sooner or later you will have to abandon us damned Huns; In the heart of my cousin's father, Gongzi is the real Heavenly Khan, the messenger of the Great Snow Mountain......"

Yang Chuan waved his hand again and again and said, "Stop, stop!" ”

"Uncle Tangyi, something is wrong with you today."

"Directly say your reasons and benefits, that is, why make me Khan that day? At the same time, what benefits can I get from being that day khan? ”

Tangyi's father said angrily: "As long as Gongzi is willing to be our Heavenly Khan, those Huns of small tribes, I promise to let them obediently go to Shuofang County with us;

Moreover, he can find a way to make more Huns secretly run to Shuofang County by himself......"
