In order to facilitate disguise, Yiliang decided to take Xiao Nian to infiltrate the Huns together. The father and daughter disguised themselves as Hun vagrants, carried a lot of silver taels, rode a thin white horse, and entered the territory of the Huns. After walking thirty or forty miles, I saw a Hun aunt driving a group of sheep into the pen. The water and grass here are luxuriant, it is late spring, the sheep eat bulging, and when they return to the pen, they will bend down and do not move.

The father and daughter stopped in front of the Hun woman's tent and shouted a few times into the tent in a few broken Hun words that they had just learned. The woman put on an apron, lifted the curtain of the tent, and said a few words in the Hun dialect. Yiliang couldn't understand anything, so he had to make his Chinese accent crappy and ask the woman: We are very hungry, can you give us some food?

Hunger was an excuse to approach the Huns.

The Xiongnu woman was a Han and spoke a northern dialect. After inquiring, I learned that she was taken captive by the Huns thirty years ago, worked as a Xiongnu sheep and horse slave for a year, and was later bought back by her Hun husband to be his wife. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son followed his father to defend the city of Shuofang, and the father and son were killed by the Xianbei people. Her daughter was married, and she was a widow who could only shepherd sheep for a living.

Seeing that the father and daughter could also speak Chinese, the woman was very enthusiastic, roasted half a fragrant fat sheep, and invited Zhang Yiliang to stay at her house.

Dare to ask what the sister-in-law is called? Yiliang saluted her and asked.

My husband originally had no name, his name was Hu Laobu, and later the king of the Xiongnu himself had a surname, and he also issued a decree on the surname of the Southern Xiongnu, and my husband got the surname Liu. You can just call me sister-in-law Liu. The woman was human.

Zhang Yiliang and Xiao Nian exchanged words and said hello to Mrs. Liu.

Why hasn't your daughter been talking? Mrs. Liu asked with a straight face.

I can't speak, which makes my sister-in-law smile. Kazura explained. Xiao Nian didn't mind, and kept smiling at the woman.

It's a good girl, come to grandma to hug!" Mrs. Liu said.

Sister-in-law has tormented us, you are still so young. Xiao Nian is obedient and goes to play with her aunt. A good way.

If my son is still here, he should also bring his daughter-in-law back to see me...... The woman muttered to herself.

I heard that the Xiongnu raised horses very lucratively, so why didn't my sister-in-law raise horses but sheep?

The king of the Xiongnu had a rule that those who married a Han daughter-in-law in their family were not allowed to raise horses. The woman hugged Xiao Nian and replied without thinking.

Why is that?

Of course, I'm afraid that we Han people will steal their horse breeding skills.

Isn't it allowed to keep a single horse? If the sister-in-law is to move, how can she move so many things in the tent?

I'm not a very migratory. First, my husband and son were buried nearby, and secondly, my daughter could come back to see me occasionally. If you want to migrate, it is also easy, and if you go ten miles to the west, you can borrow a few sheep for a horse to carry them.

How many sheep to borrow once?

Three heads, can be borrowed for two days.

It is said that the Xiongnu horse is expensive, but it turns out that it is so expensive. Ichirashi said as if unintentionally.

The king of the Huns was very strict with his horses. There are those who specialize in raising war horses and selling them to the Han people to make money, and there are also those who breed war horses for the Hun cavalry. They are all the livelihoods of the nobles of their Xiongnu tribes.

In this radius of dozens of miles, have there been any war horses raised and sold to the Han people?

Twenty miles northwest of the Hula Mountain Horse Farm is. Are you in the horse trading business? Mrs. Liu became a little suspicious at this time, and turned her head to ask Zhang Yiliang.

was seen by my sister-in-law. A good way.

Luckily, you met me, so don't go out and ask around again, and be caught as a spy.

Thank you sister-in-law for reminding me. Can't you sell horses in the Huns?

Not allowed. To buy and sell, you must have documents from the Jin military court.

I see, thank you sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law.

This Hun horse is not necessarily any better. In the entire Xiongnu territory, all horses have been registered since they were born. There are specialized people who divide the ponies into several grades. The best horses are drawn to one place, the medium horses are drawn to one place, and the inferior horses are pulled to one place, and they are domesticated separately. The horses sold to the Han people are all inferior horses, and if you can buy a medium horse, you will burn high incense.

Only then did Yiliang become convinced that the Xiongnu had already begun to implement a policy of controlling war horses, and their goal was very clear, that is, the Han people in the Central Plains. When did the Huns, the Hu people, stop dying in the Central Plains?

While chatting, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and after a long time, someone asked outside the tent: Is there anyone in the account?

Mrs. Liu hugged Xiao Nian, calmed down and listened to the sound outside, and after being quiet for a while, she asked, "Who is it?"

We are lost, and we want to ask for advice and a bowl of water to drink. A middle-aged man outside said.

Mrs. Liu put down her thoughts, lifted the curtain of the tent, and went out to have a look. Then he hesitantly led them into the tent. But seeing that she brought in three people, one who looked like a Hun and two who were dressed in the Western Regions, and the two people from the Western Regions were weird, Mrs. Liu only waved her hand, beckoned them to sit down, and handed them two water bladders.

It was really disturbing, we got lost in the grassland, it was late, and we had to ask for help from nobles. The Huns dressed up in the road.

Mrs. Liu spoke a lot in Xiongnu dialect, but the Hun looked like she couldn't understand it. Xiao Nian was also very scared when he saw the dress of the two people from the Western Regions, and hid beside Zhang Yiliang and didn't dare to move.

Brother Tai is afraid that he is not a Huns, right? Zhang Yiliang held a dagger in his hand, was cutting mutton, and said.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in the Lower Han people, passing by the Huns, I was worried that people would misunderstand, so I had to dress up as a Huns. Is Brother Tai the owner of this tent?

No, no. The lady of this tent is the one who came to visit my sister-in-law. Yiliang knew that people from the Western Regions did not often enter the Central Plains, and it was even rarer to come to the Monan Grassland, for fear that they would bully the heroine in the house, so he said.

Mrs. Liu went to find a meat cleaver, and when she heard Yiliang's introduction, she was secretly happy. I said in my heart: This father and daughter are afraid that I will be harmed by a few outsiders, so they help me! It is really difficult for them, if there is such a brother, and there is a little girl, God will also favor me, poor to see......

The housewife divided the meat cleaver, and the two people from the Western Regions didn't know how to use it, and the one who dressed up as a Hun and claimed to be Han Chinese was very skilled in cutting meat with a knife. I saw that he held a knife in his right hand, held a mutton bone in his left hand, cut a piece of fat mutton along a tendon, and distributed it to two people in the Western Regions.

Brother Tai is afraid that he is not a Han person, dare to ask who is Xianbei? Yiliang withdrew the meat cleaver in his hand, sat up straight and asked.

Brother Ren has good eyesight, good eyesight! It is the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people...... The man was embarrassed. On the surface, he was embarrassed, but he had murderous intentions in his heart.

The housewife warmed some more wine, and set up the remaining half of the sheep on the stove and roasted it. I saw her wearing an apron, sprinkled with fine salt for a while, poured some goat's milk wine for a while, and sprinkled spices for a while, and although the tent was large, it was filled with the aroma of roast mutton. Even the two people from the Western Regions were sniffing hard, and they sniffed forward.

As soon as they leaned forward, the daggers at their waists were revealed. Zhang Yiliang's eyes are not very good, and he can see their faces clearly at this time. The wind and snow in the Western Regions are very cold, and most of the people in the Western Regions have big red noses, small eyes, and flat faces. He wears a yellow peaked hat on his head and wears a dark red and yellow monk's robe.

The two saw that Yiliang was looking at himself, and he spoke a word about the Western Regions. The Xianbei people also talked to them in the Western Regions, and the accent difference was very large, and the Xianbei people also repeatedly said some transliterated words. Yiliang's approximate judgment is: Duanwu Muchen, Ashu, Xianbei Duanbu, Kahu Bu, etc.

After eating Mrs. Liu's roasted mutton and drinking a few glasses of goat's milk wine, it was about ten o'clock in the evening. The three of them got up to leave, and the Xianbei people thanked Mrs. Liu and asked, "May I ask the nobleman, which direction is going to Xianbei?"

Go to the Kahu and go to the southeast, and go to the section to the northeast. Mrs. Liu has a straight temperament, and she says whatever she thinks in her head.

As soon as the words fell, Yiliang was shocked, and the Xianbei man's eyes widened like a drum, and then his face showed a fierce face, and said: Do you understand the dialect of the Western Regions?

No, no...... I only heard the names of these two tribes in your words, and I really didn't mean to offend you. Mrs. Liu said.

The Xianbei people were suspicious, made a grassland thank-you gift, and left the tent.

As soon as the three of them left, Yiliang hurriedly blew out the open fire and oil lamp in the house, cut the tent from the direction close to the sheepfold, pulled Mrs. Liu and Xiao Nian out of the tent, and hid in the distance.

Brother, what do you mean by this? Mrs. Liu asked puzzled.

Xianbei people are cruel and suspicious, and the sister-in-law listened to their chat and understood some words, they are afraid that they will not let go of the sister-in-law, let's hide and see, if I think about it more, it will naturally be the best. Kazura explained.

That's right, I'm also straightforward, and I know that I made a mistake when I say it. Mrs. Liu said.

The three of them lay on their stomachs on the prairie dunes a mile away from the tent, their eyes fixed on the tent. The starry sky of the grassland is the boundless Hanhai, and the starlight illuminates the grassland into an inky ocean, the wind blows, and the dwarf grass moves habitually. Not long after, sure enough, a torch quickly approached the tent, and finally stopped at the edge of the tent, and two people entered the tent, and one stood guard outside.

Soon, the two people who entered the tent came out, and several people stood for a long time, and then burned the tent. After lighting the fire, he rode his horse and headed northeast.

Mrs. Liu was anxious and wanted to rush to extinguish the fire, but Yiliang and Xiao Nian hurriedly held her down. The three of them walked for a while before the father and daughter let go, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly rushed over. At this time, there was no way to put out the fire, so the sheepfold had to be opened and the sheep were driven away from the fire.

God-damned Xianbei people, God-damned Xianbei people...... I want to help you Xianbei people again in this life, I can't die well, God-damned Xianbei people...... Mrs. Liu roared loudly as she drove the sheep.

Yiliang and Xiao Nian took off their Xiongnu robes and went to fight the fire that was burning the cabinet. After dispersing the flock, Mrs. Liu also took off her robe, wore a Hun sweater, and extinguished the fire that was burning furniture with Yiliang's father and daughter.

The fire was extinguished, and the three of them sat down on the grass next to the tent to rest. Mrs. Liu said: Fortunately, I have my brother and my little niece today, otherwise I would have gone to see my husband and son today. Poor ......

Did the sister-in-law understand more of what they were saying?

I probably understand a little, the Xianbei people's Western Regions dialect is very unfavorable, often mixed with some Xianbei dialect, Xianbei dialect evolved from Xiongnu dialect, I understand a little. Alas, he shouldn't have said that to him. Mrs. Liu remorseful.

What did the Xianbei man say?

He was from the Xianbei Duanbu, and it was Duan Wumuchen who sent him to the Western Regions to invite two Western Regions killers to assassinate Ah Shu, the leader of the Xianbei Kahu Tribe. As long as Ah Shu is killed, there will be Nei Ying to control the return of the Kahu tribe to the surrender section. Mrs. Liu paused, and said: It's all their Xianbei cannibalism, and it's good that the Xianbei people are killed.

Does my sister-in-law want to kill Xianbei people to avenge your man and son?

General Zhang Yiliang of the old country has annihilated the entire Xianbei Ulu tribe who killed my man and son with the Tiger Ben army, and my great revenge has been avenged. I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet General Zhang in this life, and I will go to see my man in the future, and I will have an explanation when I see my son.

It's easy, I know General Zhang Yiliang, this time I came to the Xiongnu to help him buy horses, I will take you to see General Zhang. A good way.

Brother, don't comfort the old woman and laugh!'

Absolutely true. Sister-in-law, rest assured, next time General Zhang crusades against the Xianbei people, I will lead you to the army to see him. Yiliang said proudly.

If this is the case, the old woman will die without regrets. The woman said excitedly: "What does General Zhang look like? Do you know?

Slightly taller than me, he looks a little like me. He was a heroic boy. A good way.

It's really a little similar to you. After destroying the Ulu army and recapturing Shuofang City, I went into the city to look for the bodies of my man and son, and saw General Zhang from afar, but it was too far away, and my eyes were blurred with crying. The first time I saw you, I really looked like General Zhang. The woman was pleased.

I promise you, I will let you see General Zhang.

I want to make a statue of General Zhang and enshrine it in my tent, first, to thank him every day, and secondly, to pray to the gods to help General General destroy more Xianbei people.

A conscience was very sad, a woman let the Huns take the Huns to Monan as a slave, and was later bought out and became a home in the grassland. Her husband and son were all killed in battle, and their fate was unfortunate and lonely. She deserves a spiritual support, let her be...... In the second half of the night, the woman was too tired to stay up, and fell asleep on the grass. Yiliang put his robe on her, left twenty taels of silver, and left quietly with Xiao Nian.
