Chapter 381(1/2)

The cold winter is not only disturbing the inside of the Han Dynasty.

The far northern border is also plagued by cold winter.

Although the military is stationed here, the average age is younger, the body is stronger, and the resistance is better.

But the winter here is colder than in Dahan's mining area.

The wind and snow were also heavier, but fortunately the repairs of the military camp were relatively complete.

Compared with those mining areas, it is considered a bit more luxurious.

Military training has basically stopped. The only thing that remains unchanged is that we go out and run laps every morning and evening to warm up and maintain our physical strength.

But that's all.

As for the filling and warming effect, it may be slightly better, but it's not much better.

The cold armor sticks to the body like ice cubes, absorbing the temperature radiated from the body wantonly.

Therefore, basically all soldiers who are on duty will take off their armor as soon as possible.

Achar is still very discerning.

In addition, Han Xin wanted to develop a group of grassland road leaders, so he kept them.

There is no shortage of supplies for Han Xin now. Even if he eats meat every day, he can survive this winter without finishing it.

Therefore, the thing used here to ward off the cold is mutton soup.

Mutton soup is inherently hot and tonic, so in this season, it is naturally the most suitable.

"Are the winters on your grasslands so cold?" Han Xin asked, looking at Achar.

"It's not always this cold. It does get this cold occasionally. General, with weather like this, the grassland will basically suffer disaster," Achar said.

He was used to this kind of weather.

Cold?

It's not cold.

Compared with the Han army, people like Achar wore animal skins, which were very effective in protecting against cold.

Moreover, inside the Great Wall Pass, the houses are relatively well built, which can effectively block the cold wind from entering. In addition, there are braziers in the houses, so now Achar is not only not cold, but also a little hot.

"That means that after the beginning of spring, the Huns will definitely launch a war?" Han Xin smiled slightly.

Through this period of understanding, I also learned some of the living habits of the prairie people from Achar.

What Xiongnu, what Yuezhi, what Donghu people.

As long as they are prairie people, they are basically the same.

If the winter is too cold, it means that a large number of livestock will freeze to death.

For the tribe, this was a devastating blow.

The only way to make up for this is to plunder livestock and people through war.

Therefore, the grassland is just a place where big fish eat small fish. There is no kingly way and no justice.

If I suffer a disaster or lose money, I have to hit you, otherwise you will hit me. Yes, it is so unreasonable.

"Yes, they will definitely launch a war. Our Yueshi have just moved south. Although we may also be affected by disasters, the impact this year will not be too great." Achar said.

"Tsk tsk! You Yueshi people are still good at doing business!" Han Xin laughed loudly.

The Yuezhi people are indeed good at doing business. Although it is very cold going south, it is much better to a certain extent than staying where they are.

Because it was close to the Han Dynasty, it maintained a certain relationship with the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, before winter, the Yuezhi people exchanged livestock with Han for a large amount of grain.

At that time, I just wanted to improve my diet and solve the symptoms of indigestion.

The result was an unexpected hit.

I feel comfortable now.

Livestock that freeze to death in winter are eaten directly, and grain is eaten when they are not frozen to death.

In this way, when next spring comes, they will still have many livestock that can be used for breeding. Although there will be losses, the losses are not unacceptable.

Compared with other tribes, the Yueshi have maintained their current strength, but they have been naturally weakened.

"General, what you said made Achar not sure how to answer it..." Achar spread his hands with helplessness on his face.

"Hahaha, that's right!" Han Xin laughed loudly.

"General, the Yuezhi suffered a big loss this time!" Achar glanced at Han Xin.

"Suffering a loss is a blessing. Besides, what kind of loss do you think this is? If we really want to talk about it, then we have to talk about it. Five hundred kilograms of gold can be exchanged for thousands of people. You have made a lot of money, okay? You guys

The Yuezhi people have eaten a lot of food from my general, right? The general hasn't settled this account with you yet! Besides, do you really think that this general doesn't know that you bribed the ministers of the DPRK to get it back? So strictly speaking,

You just took away thousands of my people without paying any price, and you even let me feed and house them for free for two months. You still think you're at a loss, where can I go to reason with you?"

Han Xin assumed the posture of a victim and began to count.

"General...that's not how the accounts are settled..." Achar opened his mouth and said after a long time.

Although we bribed him, our purpose was not just to get him back.

It doesn't matter even if you big men detain people and won't let them go, you might as well give us one hundred and two hundred thousand cattle, sheep, and horses.

The result was good, five hundred pounds of gold was thrown out.

Indeed, as Zhang Buyi said, the emperor did give him face.

But they only let people go, not animals.

This decision instantly made the expression on King Yuezhi's face gradually stiffen.

And not to mention this, the Yuezhi also suffered a big loss in the exchange with the Han Dynasty.

The price of cattle and sheep is based on the Yuezhi price, while the price of grain is also based on the Yuezhi price.

If you subtract and add the two, the price of grain given by the Han Dynasty to the Yuezhi is twenty times the price of grain in the Han Dynasty.

But the Yuezhi still had to change. Who asked them to ask for help from the big man now?

Even if you break your teeth, you still have to swallow this loss.

"Okay!" Han Xin waved his hand, not wanting to argue with him on this issue.

I tricked you without discussing it. Who asked you to be unreasonable in the first place?

We agreed to three hundred thousand, but in the blink of an eye, fifty thousand was chopped off with chicken feathers as arrows.

I really don’t know what to draw?

Are you okay now?

Millions of cattle and sheep were brought in for nothing, and the Han army gained more than 90,000 horses.

Not only did the 50,000 horses lost come back, but nearly 50,000 more horses were gained.

Han Xin really wanted to do this kind of good thing again.

Of course, Han Xin still felt that he should give up his fantasy and get closer to reality.

Then……

"You are an old friend of the Han Dynasty, and you are a reliable person. As for General, I like you very much. Now I will give you a chance. Do you want to become a Han?" Han Xin showed a mysterious smile and looked at you.

Achar winked.

"Is the general going to give me a Han wife?" Achar looked at Han Xin with bright eyes and nodded fiercely.

A woman from the Han Dynasty...

That was something I had only dreamed of, and just thinking about it made my mouth water all over the floor.

As time goes by, both parties learn more and more.

A terrible phenomenon has now developed.

The men of the Yuezhi all want to marry a Han wife, but no Han women want to marry them.

And the women of the Yuezhi all wanted to marry men from the Han Dynasty.

Some Yuezhi people who like to use their brains thought of another terrible phenomenon. What will Yuezhi men do in the future?

The rareness of a woman in the Han Dynasty is no less than getting a batch of high-quality BMWs.

So when he thought about this problem, Achar's eyes were filled with light and he was so excited.

"What a beautiful idea!" Han Xin directly interrupted Achar's fantasy: "If you want to marry a Han woman, work hard yourself."

"I'm not a Han Chinese, how could they be willing to marry me?" Acharton felt disappointed, and suddenly it seemed as if his whole life had lost its light.

The gentleness, consideration, and understanding of Han women are all advantages that grassland women do not have.

On the contrary, it is much easier for prairie women to marry Han men, and each one of them is particularly willing to marry them.
