From a national strategic perspective, war does not necessarily have to be fought against the enemy to be considered meritorious.

One hundred thousand Huns cavalry retreated to the border, obviously with other purposes.

Although the big guys in Luoyang City are not on the front line, they can basically tell what the Huns want to do?

Isn't it just pretending to retreat, and then wait for Wang Li to give the order to end the stronghold and clear the country, and let the people go home?

Then will the Xiongnu make another surprise attack and quickly sweep across the entire northern border?

The battle report sent back by Wang Li also stated that the environment in Yuyang City was harsh, densely populated, and smelly. As the weather got hotter and hotter, Wang Li was also worried that it would cause a plague.

Therefore, it was decided to move some of the people in the city outside the city to build fortifications and relieve the pressure in the city.

At the same time, multiple scouts were sent to investigate the enemy's movements. Once they discovered that the enemy was moving south again, they would immediately summon people into the city.

This can only be a temporary relief. If the Huns do not attack the siege, the siege will last for several months.

Even if there is enough food in the city, the probability of a plague outbreak will become higher and higher.

So, what should Yuyang City do at that time?

From this perspective, Guan Ying led the main force of the Han army southward, which put tremendous pressure on the Huns, so they had to flee in advance.

Although there was no fighting, it directly solved the hidden danger in Yuyang County, and also solved the hidden danger of the possible outbreak of plague in Yuyang City.

Therefore, war does not necessarily require killing people to achieve meritorious service.

Saving people can also make a difference.

Wang Li, who was already prepared to defend to the death, suddenly heard the news that Guan Ying suddenly appeared in the north and the Huns fled after hearing the news.

The worry on his face finally eased.

On the one hand, the people around Yuyang were ordered to spread out further and keep a certain distance to prevent accidents.

At the same time, they quickly sent someone to contact Guan Ying, and the scouts also did not relax in their investigation of the surrounding areas.

As for this year's new recruits, they are building fortifications while intensifying their training.

This year's batch of recruits is the only batch of troops that has not completed basic training after joining the army for several months since the reform of the Han military system.

However, considering that he went to the front line without having time to train, this result is acceptable.

The three Han Dynasty generals met at the border and briefly exchanged the information they had and the current battlefield situation.

The three of them agreed that the Huns would not give up and the war was far from over.

Therefore, Wang Li accepted the women Guan Ying and Han Xin had plundered from the grasslands, as well as 10,000 captured war horses and 10,000 cavalry.

On the one hand, Guan Ying and Han Xin sent out scouts to continuously follow the traces left by the Huns, and on the other hand, they ordered the troops to rest at the border for two days.

Two days later, the army continued to march out, following the traces left by the Huns and continuing to pursue them.

After Wang Li received 10,000 horses and 10,000 cavalry, the defensive pressure on him suddenly dropped sharply.

Having cavalry means that Wang Li has more options when deploying defenses.

So, with a wave of his hand, Wang Li mobilized 100,000 new soldiers from Yuyang and stationed them at the gaps in the Great Wall on the border.

At the same time, 10,000 people were selected and asked to be trained by the cavalry left by Guan Ying and Guan Ying.

As for horse gear and the like, someone was sent to notify the rear to deliver them immediately.

At the same time, Wang Li also began to make arrangements to send these women from foreign lands to the south.

Now that the plunder has come, it is naturally impossible to leave them at the border and send them directly to the inland. Wouldn't it be nice for them to be wives and children of the Han people?

Of course, some of these women were family members of the Huns' scouts.

Han and Xin had protected them to a certain extent before, but when Wang Li came here, they naturally had no intention of not protecting them.

Wang Li ordered all the prisoners to be dispersed and organized into different teams, so that there were not many familiar people in the team.

Those who haven’t seen it don’t know which team they were assigned to.

Tana was not assigned.

Instead, he was taken away directly by the officers.

She knew some Chinese, and she also listened to Han soldiers speak a lot along the way.

Through her transmission, almost most people knew their fate next.

They would lose their existing families and be assigned by the Han Dynasty to unknown men, even unknown ages.

The officer led Tana directly into a small courtyard in Yuyang City.

Standing in front of the courtyard door, Tana hesitated.

Is this the officer's home?

Is he going to do something to himself?

"No! I won't go in. I will never let Aluka off. I would rather die..." Tana couldn't move for a long time. She looked at the officer's back and shook her head resolutely.

The officer walking in front was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Tana.

He didn't expect that Aluka still had this ability?

He went to the grassland for three years, and not only did he marry a wife, but he still had his wife be so loyal to him?

Although those Hun women knew their fate, most of them did not resist too strongly, but instead felt resigned.

Anyway, it is like this on the grassland, the strong is the king, and the strong can occupy them at will.

This is a kind of rule, a rule on the grassland.

Just like in Han Dynasty, you have to do whatever the elders in the family tell you to do.

The forms are different, but the principles are the same.

"It's easy for you to die. Where is the child? Where is your husband?" The officer smiled and then said: "Come in, I won't touch you, and no one will touch you here."

Listening to the officer's words, Tana was a little confused.

No one covets my body, why do you keep me here?

child?

husband?

If you are so human, why did you rob us?

wrong!

Tana suddenly realized a very serious problem.

Although she didn't receive much preferential treatment along the way, her treatment was still much better than that of others.

It was like this on the road, and it's still like this when we get here.

The source of all this came from after she revealed that her husband was Han Chinese and showed them the token.

Tana saw that every Han soldier had a token hanging on his waist, but it was different from her husband's token.

Tana's eyes widened, she looked at the officer in disbelief, and said in surprise: "My husband...he...is a Han army???"

The officer smiled and did not answer Tana's question.

The yard is not big, there is only one room.

There was also a straw shed built next to the house, with a built-in stove underneath, showing signs of use.

There is a small thatched house next to the courtyard wall.

"That's the thatched hut, just go there to pee and poop!" the officer said, pointing to the thatched hut.

Then he pointed to the stove and said: "You can cook here. Bottles and cans are all in the house. There is water in the tank next to it. Someone will come to add water and firewood for you every three days, and at the same time clean the hut."

Then he led me into the house. It was a little dark inside and the rammed earth house was a bit dusty, even though it had been cleaned.

Although the house is not big, it is divided into three parts.

Pointing to the left, he said: "This is the sleeping area. You can do whatever you want in the middle. There is grain in the jar on the right, which has shed its skin. You can cook it and eat it directly. I will give it to you every ten days."

Send some meat, but not too much."

"Also remember, you cannot leave this yard. If you are sick or have other needs, just hang this on the door, or just tell the person who comes to deliver you something!" The officer took it out from the door.

He put up a sign to indicate.

After explaining in detail and confirming that Tana understood everything, the officer left the yard.

After hunting rabbits, Guan Ying and Han Xin brought back more than twenty family members of the scouts this time.

Although these people are all prairie women, since they have married the scouts who performed their missions, they can be considered Han Chinese.

What's more, a woman like Tana who has already given birth to a child for the scout?

These people were uniformly arranged in Yuyang City, and the Yuyang Scout Branch was fully responsible for their daily necessities.

In short, these people will live here until the scouts come back or until they are confirmed to have died in battle.

You don't have to worry about food and clothing, there is always someone to take care of you.
