Vol 2 Chapter 552: Say Huns

Xiliang, Northland County, Lian County.
Since leaving Zuogu, this is basically the plain area of ​​Pingchuan, and the Yellow River is only twenty miles to the east. After the Yellow River, it is regarded as the land of the river.
"Gong Yan actually doesn't have to follow me here." Standing at the head of Lian County, feeling the dry air in the air, Liu Yi turned back and looked at Jiang Wan with a smile.
Even if it is already spring, the northwest is still scary and cold. Liu Yi is strong and strong. He is still wearing clothes that his wife and Deng sewed for himself. It is quite warm and still feels a bit unbearable. Like a cold viper, he drills in when he sees a crack, but in order to maintain his demeanor, he has to make a look of laughter.
This is what I am doing, not to mention Jiang Wan, who has already turned pale. In those years, people who are not used to the northern climate have rushed to this point. There are many people who have frozen their fingers and toes and have not responded.
"Yuan was entrusted by His Majesty to sort out Liangzhou things, so naturally he needed to know more." Jiang Wanya shuddered, but the smile on his face was unhurried.
Liu Yi ’s internal style As an old man under Liu Bei ’s command, Jiang Wan is clear that there is no merit other than his willingness to delegate power. This time he temporarily took over the post of Liangzhou animal husbandry. This is done individually, not to mention Liu Yi is also responsible for monitoring the movement of the Huns.
"Go back, it's not difficult to make sandboxes in this area." Looking at Jiang Wan's frozen dogs, he still insisted on being indifferent. Liu Yi was a little speechless, saying that he came to understand the situation in various places, but Lian County. On the verge of border frontiers, we will encounter the problem of the Huns crossing the border all year round, and the population is only a few shots. This is obviously not a problem of internal affairs.
But to say that it has nothing to do with him at all. If Liu Yi does not come this time, Jiang Wan will come to govern Xiliang. The first problem he faces is the handling of side troubles, which is why Jiang Wan followed Liu Yi.
The two returned to the Lianxian government office. Mi Zhu had already made some arrangements. After all, according to Liu Yi ’s plan, the purpose of his move this time was to save the border and at least temporarily solve the problem, so for a long time in the future Will stay in Lian County.
The charcoal basin has been burnt in the room, and it smells a bit pungent. After all, this place is not built by Liu Yi. It can shelter from the wind and rain, and has some warming effects, but it can't be compared with the building built by Liu Yi.
"Brother Zi Zhong would enjoy it." Liu Yi and Jiang Wan came in and looked at the stove while sitting there, the fat figure looked quite rich and smiled.
"No way, it's too cold." Mi Zhu smiled: "I've also been to Northland when I was young, but it's all in the spring and summer season, and I haven't been so cold."
Although it is spring now, it is definitely different from Mi Zhu's spring and summer season.
"Brother Zi Zhong has quite a lot of experience, especially for Biansi Humin, and I don't know much about it. How can I see that Brother Zi Zhong doesn't seem to worry about the war at this moment?" Liu Yi looked at Mi Zhu and asked with a smile.
"Bo Yuan didn't know, just like my Han people are mainly engaged in farming, there are busy farming and idle farming, this Xiongnu or the population of all ethnic groups on the entire grassland also has busy hours. This spring and summer season is just cattle and sheep. When the litter was born, and experienced the cold winter, the animals were so thin that they had to rush the animals to the pastures in spring and summer. At this time, even Yu Yu could not mobilize these people to fight, so the Huns or the Xianbei went south to rob. It's mostly autumn and winter season. "Mi Zhu explained to Liu Yi with a smile.
Liu Yi groped his beard under his jaw and nodded, "This is what I heard from insiders, but I don't know the reasons. Brother Zi Zhong is quite proficient in this."
"No way, Zhu was born in the merchant's house, and this trade with the Hu people is also a common thing. I wait for the prophet to need it before I can make money. When the South Huns are divided, it is our army that defeated Wei Jun. They don't know Our army is fictitious and real, plus the battle of Guanzhong, and there are also Huns participating in the war. It has already suffered damages and is unwilling to take risks. "Mi Zhu nodded.
At first, the Mi family was a well-known wealthy merchant in the world. A rich family, a Mi family could help Liu Bei to pull up an army. The financial strength is obvious.
It was a pity that Liu Bei at that time was unfamiliar, and the situation in Xuzhou was also complicated at that time, Liu Bei failed to cope.
"Can Brother Zhongzi talk to me in detail about the laws of the various ethnic groups in this grassland?" Liu Yi sat upright and looked at Mi Zhu. Jiang Wan beside him also looked at Mi Zhu. As a person from Jingzhou, the Huns came to him. It was said that it was too far away, and the one who had the most contact was probably the Xiongnu cavalry transferred by Wei Jun to fight. Now that he wants to take charge of Xiliang, he naturally has to figure out these things so that he can treat the symptoms in the future.
"Actually, whether it is a Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan." Mi Zhu recalled carefully: "Every year in the autumn and winter season, the cattle, sheep and horses are already fat and healthy. For my merchants, this time The livestock of China is actually the most valuable, but businessmen and I rarely go north at this time. Only some businessmen would prefer to be in the border areas in autumn and winter. What can Bo Yuan know? "
"This time of year is when Hu people go south, but why?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's not right. At this time, the Han army is also prohibited from trading. Most of these businesses pass through some mountainous areas without garrisons, otherwise this time will pass and you will be guilty."
"Afraid to pass the enemy?" Liu Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Communicate the enemy?" Mi Zhu shook his head: "Bo Yuan thought that the Huns could attack the city? You're welcome, even if you put the defense map in front of them, you can't break the city."
"Why is that?" Liu Yi didn't understand it. Since he was not afraid, it would be better to increase trade, not to be racist, but at this time, the commercial transactions, the Huns must be the loser, even if it is an ordinary merchant, Can turn around each other's play.
"From Liaodong to here, Bo Yuan knows how long the defense line is?" Mi Zhu asked.
"Millions of miles." Liu Yi shook his head. He really didn't know this, but this line was not short across the quiet and cool Sanzhou.
"Although our army has garrisons in various fortresses, there are always places that can't be taken care of in the tens of thousands of miles of defense. When I was in the heyday, there were thousands of frontiers on this line. However, Hu Qi still invades the Central Plains every year, which is indispensable to these merchants. Those remote trails were discovered by them. Then the Hu people took the opportunity to go south from these trails. Although the number will not be too much, the losses caused , But it is difficult to estimate. "At the end, Mi Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
This is definitely not the main reason. The Hu people go south every year, and they cannot blame all these businesses on their sins, but they do have unshirkable responsibilities, especially during the period of the Emperor Ling, the frontier garrison was greatly reduced, and there are many places in the Great Wall. Years of disrepair and breakage also provided great convenience for the Hu people.
Liu Yi nodded. This is about interests. Sometimes people will become crazy, especially poor people who have nothing. They are not afraid of killing their heads.
"This is the internal reason, but the most important thing is the autumn and winter season. When the Hu people will hunt, the two should have heard that the Huns are all soldiers and hundreds of thousands of commanders, but in fact, it is only in this At that time, the Xiongnu, Xianbei or Wuhuan could be called power bows, and they were all armored. During the spring and summer, the population of all ethnic groups were busy with their livelihoods, even if Yu Yu could not order them to put down their livelihoods to build up, Hu People are different from my Han people. They all say that this is to the Hu people the Han family's emperor is like our Han people, but in fact, it is not like the emperor is generally in full control of the people under the rule. The Hu people live by water and grass. It is extremely difficult to control, and therefore, sometimes the Xiongnu people today may become the Xianbei or Wuhuan tomorrow. "
Jiang Wan said curiously: "Why is it that it can mobilize tens of thousands or even 100,000 troops?"
In the heyday of the Xiongnu in history, there were even hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers. According to Mi Zhu, this Xiongnu did not have a strong sense of belonging to Shan Yu. How could he gather so many people?
Do not say hundreds of thousands, even if it is a large army of 100,000, no matter the Han, Wei Dynasty or Soochow ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It takes extremely long preparation time just to prepare grain and grass, finalize the marching route, etc.
Dahan prepared for six years to prepare for the battle of Guanzhong. This was Liu Yi ’s laying of wooden rails, which greatly reduced the transportation time of grain and grass and the manpower required. Otherwise, it would be impossible to dispatch 20 at a time. Wan Dajun.
On the Xiongnu side, even though the South Xiongnu, which is now much worse than before, feels that gathering tens of thousands of troops is like drinking water, which makes Jiang Wan a little weird.
"Gongyan didn't know." Mi Zhu explained with a smile: "Every year, from May to June, the beasts on this grassland are as fat as the raised livestock. At this time, the Huns will go hunting."
Jiang Wan nodded and looked at Mi Zhu suspiciously, which had something to do with what he asked.
"A large-scale hunt, the participants will have tens of thousands or more people, drove hundreds of thousands or even millions of animals to a hunt, and this kind of hunt can be converted to my big han at any time. Looting, if my Han border guards are strong and the troops are adequate, they will honestly hunt, but if they are vacant, they will give up the hunt, the soldiers will border, and they will invade the south. "
Liu Yi and Jiang Wan suddenly, it is no wonder that during the Emperor Ling Dynasty, Xianbei seemed to invade every year. At that time, the frontier defense was indeed much weaker than in the past.
"In other words, even now that Yu Yu promised Cao Wei to send troops, he has to wait until autumn?" Liu Yi looked at Mi Zhu and smiled.
"Yes, even the Xiongnu alone is not enough to gather the soldiers of the Huns." Mi Zhu nodded with a smile.
"Six months, it's still ample." Liu Yi nodded, and he knew what the enemy's habits were. He then deployed more calmly, repaired the defense, laid the roads, trained soldiers and horses, and collected more Intelligence and information.
