Soldiers come to the world

'Boom!Boom!Boom! The sound of a huge war drum sounded, which was the signal to attack. The [-] Han cavalry who had already been deployed suddenly burst out with shouts of killing, rushed out of the forest overwhelmingly, and rushed towards the endless sea of ​​tents.

The horses leveled the camp, the swords cut the ropes, and the Hun men who tried to resist with spears were chopped off by the Han army. The women hid in the corner with their children crying, and the horses jumped over their heads and rushed into the camp. deep.

The 20 Huns were running and crying, but the [-] Han cavalry were orderly, forming a tight net, pressing the Huns to the center of the camp from all directions.

To the west of the camp, tens of thousands of Huns rushed to the sheep and horse pens, which were their greatest property. However, the Han cavalry had long guarded the sheep and horse pens, and no one was allowed to approach them. Hundreds of them attempted to attack the sheep and horses. The people in the circle were beheaded on the spot by the Han army.

Seeing that there was no hope of competing for the sheep and horse pens, tens of thousands of Huns abandoned the sheep and horse pens and ran towards the gap to the west. There seemed to be no Han soldiers guarding that side, which became their only hope of escape.

At this moment, Ma Dai led [-] cavalrymen to rush out from the side woods and cut off the retreat of tens of thousands of Huns. There were more than [-] Huns in this area, most of them were women, children and the elderly. They saw cavalry behind them. After killing him, he stumbled and fled even more in panic, crying and shouting.

Outside the woods is an endless snowfield, the thick snow is as deep as thighs, and young children will be submerged in the heavy snow. Even if they can escape from such a snowfield, it is also a dead end.

But the tens of thousands of Huns did not run away anymore. Thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way, and behind them were thousands of cavalry of the Han army, surrounding them. They had nowhere to escape, and many women embraced them Watching the child knelt down and cried bitterly, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

At this time, hundreds of cavalry rushed forward from all directions, shouting in the language of the Huns: "Don't panic, the Han army will not kill at will!"

Since the Han army did not rush forward to kill, but surrounded them on all sides, more than [-] people gradually calmed down. They stared blankly at the cavalry around them, filled with bewilderment and helplessness about their future fate.

In the big camp, more than 1 Huns were also expelled by the Han army to an open space with a radius of only five miles. More than [-] Han cavalry surrounded them from all sides. The open space was densely packed with terrified Huns. It is generally a precursor to massacres, first gather together, and then start slaughtering from all sides.

At this time, Zhao Yun ordered: "Let all the elders of the tribe come out to see me!"

Hundreds of cavalry rushed forward and shouted in Hun dialect: "The elders of all tribes come out to ask questions!"

Although the nearly 30 Huns belonged to Liu Qubei's big tribe, there were dozens of small tribes under the big tribe. Just like the Han family, each small tribe had respected elders who presided over daily affairs.

Without the threat of the Han army, nearly a hundred ministers and elders walked out of the team one after another, and were quickly brought in front of Zhao Yun. The hundred old men knelt down together, and one headed old man cried: "Report to the general, there is no Hun army here, and they are all unarmed." Women, children, and the elderly, please spare us, General!"

Zhao Yun leaned over and smiled at the old men: "If you think that the Han army is here to slaughter you, then you are very wrong. I am here to rescue you and give you a way out under the order of His Highness the King of Han."

Someone translated Zhao Yun's words, and the hundred elders looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion, how did it become salvation?

Zhao Yun continued: "The conflict broke out between you and the Qiang people more than a month ago. Let me tell you that the Hexi Qiang people have begun to unite their troops. Tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers will attack you at the end of the year. Just think about it, your army They slaughtered so many Qiang people in Lingzhou, will they let you go? They will use a hundred times bloody means to retaliate against you, and you will be slaughtered."

All the elders lowered their heads, and many people trembled. They knew what Zhao Yun said was the truth, and this was something they feared day and night. In fact, it was not just the Qiang people. If Liu Qubei didn't come back before the spring, they would also Being robbed by the Xianbei people is the law of survival on the grassland.

At this time, someone timidly asked: "May I ask, General, how is King You Xian doing now?"

Zhao Yun laughed and said to everyone: "Liu Qubei hasn't come back yet, can't you guess what will happen to him? Not only Liu Qubei, but also the 10,000+ Huns army including the Xiongnu Shanyu were all defeated by the King of Han." Encircle and annihilate, the Xiongnu army has been wiped out!"

The news shocked the Huns and spread quickly. Many women cried bitterly, which meant that their husbands had died in battle. At this time, Zhao Yun said loudly: "The matter is not that serious. Not everyone died in battle. There are still many prisoners of war."

Zhao Yun turned his head and waved, "Bring it up!"

The cavalry of the Han army brought up more than a hundred Hun prisoners of war. They appeared in front of the Huns. Suddenly, dozens of women shouted and rushed out desperately, holding the prisoners of war and crying loudly. These Hun prisoners of war also hugged their wives and children and cried bitterly The sudden change made countless Huns seem to see hope.

The elders shouted: "General, do you really promise not to kill us?"

Zhao Yun smiled at the elders: "Go back and tell your clansmen that this is His Royal Highness's order. As long as you surrender to the Han Kingdom and become His Highness's subjects, then His Highness will give you land, give you a way to live, and return it to you. Part of the property, so that you can continue to live without killing anyone."

Zhao Yun's words were translated, and more than [-] Huns finally believed that they would not be killed. They cheered excitedly, and Zhao Yun immediately ordered thousands of tents to be cleared out for the Huns to live in temporarily. Begin to retreat south.

In the big camp, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Han army are busy sorting out all kinds of property. Liu Qubei has worked hard for decades, and has plundered Guanzhong several times, accumulating a lot of wealth, not only millions of cattle and sheep and [-]+ War horses, piles of sheepskins, grain looted by tens of thousands of stones, and countless silk porcelain, gold and silver jewelry, etc.

Accompanied by Pound and other generals, Zhao Yun inspected the soldiers and counted the supplies. Pang De smiled and said, "I heard that Liu Qubei's wealth is amazing, but I just found out today that I still underestimated him. There are more than [-] taels of gold alone. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of catties of red gold, I am very worried about whether these wealth can be transported back to Guanzhong."

Zhao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "It's annoying, but since they can bring the wealth from Hetao, we should be able to take it out too. Isn't there tens of thousands of carts? Walking on the ice should be no problem. big."

"However, if large carts are used to carry supplies, these women, children and the elderly may not be able to endure the difficulties along the way, and many people will die."

"Let them travel by car. The wealth is right in front of their eyes. Forgive them that they won't be able to move it away. In addition, give each of them three sheepskins to keep warm, and give each family ten sheep and a horse."

Pound hesitated, and he thought it was inappropriate to give ten sheep to each family, and His Highness the King of Han did not have such an order, so Pang De cautiously persuaded: "Give them ten sheep to each family, and I'm afraid they will get rid of nearly [-] sheep." Millions of sheep, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to His Highness when I go back."

Zhao Yun glared at him, "His Royal Highness, let me explain, and I will bear the consequences. Now you just obey my orders!"

"Follow the order!"

Pang De was helpless, the army said that Zhao Yun was soft-hearted, and now it seems to be true. If Ma Chao was here, let alone give the Huns sheepskins and ten sheep, even if they would not sit in a cart, they would all be driven south on foot. , No matter how many people die.

At this time, Pang De suddenly had a realization that maybe the King of Han temporarily changed his mind, replaced Ma Chao, and instead asked Zhao Yun to lead troops to attack the Huns, because he took a fancy to Zhao Yun's benevolent side.

Two days later, the Han army brought hundreds of thousands of old and weak Huns, women and children to the south slowly. Although Sun Li, the guard of Juyan City, did not get the beautiful Hun girl as a concubine, he didn't care about it. He was secretly ecstatic, and Zhao Yun stayed behind. Tens of thousands of pieces of furniture that could not be brought along, as well as many other odds and ends, were ordered to move back to Juyan City first, and transfer them to the Qiang tribe in Juyanhai after the beginning of spring.

But Sun Li knew very well that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune. Although he didn't dare to take all of it, he could at least keep the valuables. Zhao Yun also left a message. , That's the sentence, he and his brothers can each make a fortune and sell these materials to the Qiang people. As long as he has money in hand, he can ask a young and beautiful Qiang girl as his concubine, isn't it the same thing?

After Sun Li sent the Han army away, he rushed back to Juyan City impatiently, and shouted to the five hundred soldiers: "The opportunity to make a fortune is here, everyone follow me!"

He led five hundred soldiers to urge their horses out of the city, and ran in the direction of the Huns' camp like lightning.

Not to mention that the border guards in Yancheng made a fortune because of this, and Zhao Yun led 30 cavalry to escort nearly [-] Hun women and children and countless wealth of cattle and sheep all the way south along the Zhangye River.

In the ice and snow, the Han army team stretched for dozens of miles. Tens of thousands of carts were loaded with all kinds of wealth and supplies, young children and the elderly. They creaked and creaked on the ice. The sheepskin, curled up in the carriage, was shivering from the cold. Most of the Hun women were strong and strong. They rode on horseback and followed the carriage slowly, while the older boys were responsible for driving the flock.

Although they lost their accumulated wealth, they saved their lives and got a little property, which gave the desperate Huns another glimmer of hope.

The team walked very slowly, had food and shelter, and after half a month, the team finally arrived in Zhangye County. Zhao Yun immediately handed over the food to Ma Chao as the rations of the Han army in Hexi, and sealed up all the wealth and materials in the official warehouse of Zhangye County. After the beginning of spring, it will be transported back to Chang'an.

After unloading the burden, the team became much lighter, and tens of thousands of people continued to drive the cattle and sheep, heading for Chang'an in a mighty way.
