Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Zhao Yun opened his mouth, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Gongsun Zan's slightly bloodshot eyes, filled with extreme hatred.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun remembered something. Gongsun Zan... was born in Liaoxi County, Lingzhi County.

That place is not far from the Great Wall and not far from some Wuhuan settlements in Liaoxi County.

"Yun, you're talking nonsense."

Zhao Yun cupped his hands and suddenly understood that since he had never protected the Han people who died tragically from the sword at the hands of Wu Huan, what qualifications and position did he have to stop Gongsun Zan now.

Immediately, Zhao Yun turned his back and walked away.

Gongsun Zan also waited for Zhao Yun to move away some distance before he waved his hand towards the group of soldiers.

When Gongsun Zan appeared in front of Zhao Yun again, the white armor on his body was already stained with steaming blood.

"Zilong, you should leave more of your kindness to the Han people. In the borderlands, there is only killing."

Gongsun Zan said to Zhao Yun in a sonorous and powerful voice. "The Hu people will not listen to what you say about benevolence, justice and morality. Only absolute force can protect the land under your feet from plunder."

Zhao Yun, who had walked away alone for a while, gradually understood something and nodded silently.

Gongsun Zan stared at Zhao Yun for a while. Originally, Gongsun Zan didn't like Zhao Yun's gentle temper, but for Li Ji's sake, Li Ji had privately asked Gongsun Zan to give more advice to Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, come with me and let you see something."

Immediately, Gongsun Zan waved to Zhao Yun and led Zhao Yun somewhere in the direction of this settlement, which was the size of an ordinary town.

"In such a large Wuhuan settlement, apart from livestock, there are also some people who live worse than livestock..."

Gongsun Zan said calmly, which made Zhao Yun have some doubts in his heart.

Soon, Gongsun Zan led Zhao Yun to a building surrounded by a group of soldiers. The appearance was quite similar to other buildings in the settlement, but there was a vague stench.

"Have you done the counting?"

Gongsun Zan asked the leader of the group of soldiers.

"General, we have already counted them," the chief replied quickly.

Gongsun Zan nodded, then crossed his arms and spoke to Zhao Yun.

"In this case, let Zilong go in and take a look."

Zhao Yun was a little confused when he heard this, but his habit of obeying orders made Zhao Yun choose to directly open the curtain at the door of the building and walk in.

After entering, the stench was even worse, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown.

When Zhao Yun took a clear look at the environment inside, he found that it was a structure similar to a dungeon, with long corridors lined with rooms one after another.

Zhao Yun walked to the nearest room and looked inside.

There were five or six naked and curled-up people locked inside, all of them women, with dull eyes and messy hair. Judging from the traces in the house, eating or defecating could only be done in the small room. .

The dim and smelly environment, the scene in front of him made Zhao Yun's breath stagnant, and after careful identification, Zhao Yun found that these were Han women.

Zhao Yun, who had always had a gentle temper, clenched his teeth, quickly looked away from the women, and walked quickly along the passage.

In each of the more than twenty rooms, five or six Han Chinese were imprisoned in each small room, both men and women, all of whom were stripped naked.

When Zhao Yun walked out with a sullen face and full of anger, Gongsun Zan slowly spoke.

"Wuhuan liked slaves the most, and since they were no rivals of Xianbei, apart from a small number of slaves captured by attacking other Wuhuan tribes, most of them were Han Chinese, and their favorite slaves were also Han Chinese."

"Han women are beautiful, and Han men are good at farming. In order to prevent Han slaves from escaping, the captured Han people are often stripped naked and imprisoned..."

"Almost every Wuhuan settlement will have this kind of place specially used to hold Han slaves who have not yet been allocated."

"And it should be that not long ago, the Wuhuan people from the Wuhuan settlement who went south to the Grass Valley sent back a group of selected prisoners, so there are more than a hundred Han slaves imprisoned here."

"Zilong, this... is just a cruel corner of the borderland. Use your eyes to see what cruelty is. It will tell you how ridiculous Liu Bo'an's set of weakness and kindness is."

Finally, Gongsun Zan patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

At this time, another group of soldiers who collected clothes from various parts of the settlement also sent some clothes over, and Gongsun Zan also began to deal with these imprisoned slaves. For those who wanted to die, Gongsun Zan gave them a sharp knife to kill themselves; for those who still cared about returning home, he gave them fast horses, clothes, and dry food and allowed them to leave on their own.

As for the few young and strong men who harbored hatred, Gongsun Zan included them in the army for temporary use.

After everything was arranged, the army rested at this Wuhuan settlement for a night, and then the next morning Gongsun Zan once again led the army towards the next Wuhuan settlement.

If there was any obvious change, it was that Zhao Yun, who was usually gentle and humble towards others, had an extremely gloomy face, with deep anger in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Yun vaguely understood why Mr. Zikun was so strong in asking him to go on the expedition with Gongsun Zan.

Not only so that he could ask Gongsun Zan for advice and train an elite cavalry, but more importantly, Zhao Yun truly felt what anger was for the first time.

For Zhao Yun, who is not yet 20 years old, the scene that is remembered in his heart makes the anger in Zhao Yun's chest difficult to subside for a long time.

Next, the cavalry led by Gongsun Zan relied on their high mobility and map guidance to sweep through the northern part of Yuyang County with an efficiency of almost wiping out a Wuhuan settlement every two days.

Then, under Li Ji's advance plan, he left Yuyang County and went straight to Youbeiping County, which was further east.

Just when Gongsun Zan led his army to leave Yuyang County, the number of Wuhuan people gathered under Yuyang City had reached 140,000, and there was a steady stream of Wuhuan people from various tribes rushing in this direction. Come.

For the past hundred years, Wuhuan could only survive by jumping between the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Han Dynasties.

This time they openly plundered the Han people and almost captured the three counties of Youzhou. This was undoubtedly a carnival that excited all the Wuhuan people from top to bottom.

In the central tent of the Wuhuan camp, which stretched for several miles, Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju sat together at the top. On one side were Han people headed by Zhang Chun, and on the other side except Nanlou and Su Pu. In addition to the three Wuhuan masters, Yan and Wuyan, who claimed to be kings, there were also a number of city commanders.

(PS: Master Wuhuan refers to the leader of an alliance composed of multiple tribes. It is a specific title.)
In such a sultry weather, except for the Han people who pay attention to etiquette, the rest of the Wuhuan people are almost naked in the big tent. They are all playing with beautiful women and drinking and eating meat.

And in the center of the banquet, there were six dancers who were dancing with fear. The green gazes of the surrounding pairs of beasts made these dancers' feet tremble, but they could only bite. Ya dare not make the slightest mistake.

"Gululu~~"

Qiu Liju raised his head, took a sip of wine, and praised. "This great wine really makes people want to drink it again and again."

Although the plump Zhang Ju sat in the same seat as Qiu Liju, he felt the rude and savage behavior of Qiu Liju, who was as strong as a bear beside him, and he responded submissively.

Zhang Chun, who was sitting in the first place under Zhang Ju, saw this, and in his heart he despised Qiu Liju and other barbarians for their vulgar and vulgar language, and also disdained Zhang Ju's weakness.

Immediately, Zhang Chun had no choice but to hold up the wine cup in front of him, toast to Qiu Liju, and said.

"If Mr. Qiu Liju likes this wine, I still have a hundred jars in my house, so I will have someone send it to Mr. Qiu Liju quickly."

"a ha ha ha!"

Qiu Liju couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said. "Lord Zhang Chun is quite generous, so I will...just call him Xiao Na as you Han people say..."

"It is an honor for me to be on good terms with Wuhuan. After Liu Yu is killed and my lord proclaims himself emperor and establishes a country in Youzhou, we still need Lord Qiu Liju's help."

Zhang Chun had a smile on his face, but in reality he was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

Fine wine is an extremely valuable thing in Youzhou.

Qiu Liju said with a smile on his face after hearing this.

"It's easy to talk. As long as Master Zhang Ju is willing to pay the money, food, salt, and iron every year as agreed, I will definitely act in accordance with the covenant."

Although Qiu Liju also disdained Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun in his heart, without Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's cooperation, how could Wuhuan successfully attack and kill Wuhuan, the captain of Wuhuan, and the prefects of Youbeiping and Liaodong, and successfully occupied most of the territory in one fell swoop? A Youzhou.

Money, food, weapons, armor, iron salt...

In the past two months, Wuhuan as a whole has looted more things than it has accumulated in the past fifty years combined. Even nearly half of the Wuhuan cavalry have changed into armor.

As for the subsequent alliance with Zhang Ju, Qiu Liju naturally understood that Zhang Chun was worried that he would be attacked by the Han Dynasty after becoming emperor, so he planned to rely on Wuhuan's power to resist the Han Dynasty.

(PS: "Book of the Later Han" records that in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Zhang Ju claimed to be the emperor, and Zhang Chun claimed to be General Mitian and King Anding, and claimed that he would replace the Han Dynasty, let the emperor abdicate, and the ministers would come to welcome them.)
But Qiu Liju naturally agreed verbally at the moment. He would first get all the benefits he could get, and then plunder some big men wantonly.

As for whether to assist Zhang Ju in resisting the Han army in the future, that will naturally be considered at that time.

In fact, Qiu Liju couldn't help but have a bold idea in his mind at this moment. If the Han Dynasty is really weak and cannot even annihilate Zhang Ju in one breath, Wuhuan may not be able to imitate Xianbei ten years ago and directly occupy the Han Dynasty. earth.

Xianbei only occupied the four counties of Bingzhou. If Wuhuan could occupy the entire Youzhou, who knows... (End of Chapter)
