Jingjing was also on his way in the snow. Although he was outside the Great Wall, the wind and snow where he was walking was much lighter. After listening to Su Ren's words, Jingjing first got rid of Yu Shan's pursuit and began to move west along the Great Wall. The foot of the Great Wall was more beautiful than the northern wasteland.
It is much warmer, and there are mountains everywhere here, so you can find a sheltered place to camp at any time. The food Su Ren sent is enough for them to survive this winter, so no one among the horse thieves thought it was an escape, but instead thought it was just a transfer of the battlefield.
.
Lao Heita was holding a huge porcelain bowl with millet seeds inside that were as thick as a mountain: "Lord Wolf, where are we going? We only eat and don't work, and I feel uncomfortable all over!"
Huo Qilin smiled and said: "Then you won't eat less? This is already the second bowl, but you know that we owe these grains on credit, and we will repay them with livestock next year!"
Come to Heita and smile: "How can you have the strength to fight the Huns if you don't eat enough? After passing Yuci, I found that the Huns here are even more powerful! If I had known better, I wouldn't have come."
Fei Yaozi snorted coldly: "The best way to eat people is to be soft-handed. Mr. Su won't let us continue to harm Shan's tribe. We can only go west. What options do we have? Why don't you go talk to Mr. Su?
?Maybe he gives you face."
"Forget it!" Old Heita shook his head: "It's better to go to the Wolf Lord. I'm going to go and let people know who I am?"
The ivy tidied away the dishes and chopsticks from Jia Jia and said as he walked out: "I think Mr. Su must have something to do when he asked us to come to the west. Otherwise, it would be a few hundred miles to go from Yu Dan's territory to Yizhi."
Evil base, we are horse thieves and we only need to fight the Huns, why do we need to be so clear about it?"
Lao Heita quickly asked: "What's going on? I heard that the Xiongnu Chanyu is preparing to lead his troops to attack Mayi. Could it be that Mr. Su wants us to raid the Xiongnu's lair?"
Huo Qilin said: "It's hard to say. When the Xiongnu army comes, Mr. Su only needs to hide in Yanmen Pass and everything will be fine. It's a good time to sneak attack on Shan Yu's lair."
Fei Yaozi shook his head: "Impossible! Do you know how far it is from here to the Shanyu Palace? Two thousand miles! In such weather, it is difficult for us people to walk to the Shanyu Palace, let alone fight! Let's talk about Shanyu.
It's impossible for Bu Cun to leave the royal court unattended. If we go there, we won't die!"
"What does that mean?" Old Heita even forgot to eat.
Jingji burped and poured himself a glass of wine: "Don't guess, Su Xiaozi will definitely tell us when the time comes! Now that we are here, brothers can't be idle these days. Taking advantage of this weather, those Huns
People can’t escape with their livestock, so we have to deal with the nearby tribes first!”
Lao Heita chuckled: "Don't worry, Lord Wolf, this matter will be taken care of by me, Lao Hei!"
Yi Zhixie didn't expect that the horse thieves who were wreaking havoc in Shan's territory would suddenly appear in his territory, and more than a dozen tribes near the Great Wall would be blamed. The Huns who dared to herd horses at the foot of the Great Wall were all brave Huns.
Yi Zhixie didn't care about the loss of thousands of livestock. He pityed those warriors. Now was the time to employ people. At this juncture, Yi Zhixie could not accept the loss of hundreds of brave and skilled warriors.
Liu Hong is already a man of ten thousand households, but he has no tribe and only a thousand soldiers under his command, so he has been living in the royal court of Yizhixie in Yinshan Mountain. Liu Hong recently left with two Han merchants, Nie Yi, a young master.
He was so close that he naturally became an important role under Yi Zhixie.
Seeing that Yi Zhixie was unhappy, Liu Hong said: "Your Majesty, should you withdraw the tribes who stayed by the Great Wall? Those horse thieves are here for them!"
Yi Zhixie glanced at Liu Hong: "Why? Aren't those horse thieves from Su Ren? Why do they come to my territory?"
Liu Hong shook his head: "Maybe it's because Yu Shan is Su Ren's friend."
"Nonsense, since Yu Shan is Su Ren's friend, those horse thieves should have come here early. They didn't come early, they didn't come late, but they came at this time. It would be strange if there was no problem!"
Young Master Ji said: "I understand, Su Ren doesn't want to watch the king send troops to Langjuxu Mountain, so..."
Yi Zhixie snorted coldly: "Shan Su went to attack Mayi. As long as Su Ren wasn't crazy, he wouldn't have done that!"
Young Master Ji quickly lowered his head. Nie Yi remained silent, sitting in his seat drinking wine and eating meat. The wine was Erguotou brought from Han Dynasty. This kind of wine is the most comfortable to drink in this season. One sip will make your whole body warm.
The meat is mutton. Although it is not as good as Cuixianglou's craftsmanship, with some salt and seasoning, it tastes better than boiled in plain water.
"Mr. Nie, what do you think?"
Nie Yi smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter. Horse thieves are still horse thieves. They are more powerful but not in large numbers. Therefore, they have no ability to go deep into the hinterland of the desert. They can only operate on the border between the Han and the Huns. Yu Shan is too poor and was robbed continuously.
In a few months, everything that can be robbed will be robbed, and the place will naturally be moved! Although these horse thieves are Su Ren's people, they are tens of thousands of people, and there are tens of thousands of family members in Taihang Mountain. Su Ren can't support him no matter how rich he is.
There are so many people, does your Majesty understand what you are saying?"
Yi Zhixie frowned: "You mean they have no other purpose?"
"Of course there is a purpose, but it's not as complicated as you think!"
"Is there a solution?"
Nie Yi said: "What Liu Wanhu said is the solution. As long as the king moves the tribe back, he will leave naturally if there is nothing to rob."
Yi Zhixie's frown deepened. He still didn't believe that Su Ren really didn't have any conspiracy this time. As far as he knew, Su Ren always did things one step at a time, and he allowed such a huge force to go beyond his control.
, not to mention Su Ren, even Yi Zhixie will not ignore him. At the very least, he should be put in Mayi to block the Shanyu. It is not a smart person to let him go like this.
"You all think so?" Yi Zhixie glanced at the faces of Liu Hong, Nie Yi and Ji Shaogong.
Liu Hong didn't answer, but Young Master Ji nodded: "Maybe we really thought it was too complicated!"
Jingjing's soldiers and horses are stationed in a mountain col. What's rare is that this mountain col is connected to both ends. If you surround one end, you can still go to the other. If you surround both ends, Jingjing doesn't believe that his horse thieves, who are already considered ruthless bandits, can't rush out.
.According to Su Ren, Yi Zhixie has plans to attack Shanyu Wangting, so he will never send a large army to encircle and suppress him, so this place is considered the safest.
The tent of Thorns was in the middle of the valley, and was heavily guarded at the front and rear. A piece of flat land opposite the tent was fenced off, and the cattle, sheep and horses inside were extremely crowded. Three hundred horse thieves were responsible for taking care of these livestock. He didn't want that.
These livestock starved to death or froze to death, and in a few days they would be turned into money and food. Thorns stood at the entrance of the tent, very satisfied with the camp he had chosen. The 30,000 horse thieves under his command were becoming more and more like an army.
Even if the Huns do come, they will still be able to fight.
The ivy came from the mountain pass on horseback, followed by Shi Bao. Ever since Jingji brought people to the grassland, Shi Bao had always been in charge of liaison. Firstly, they had met and were acquaintances. Secondly, Shi Bao was a shrewd guy. Su Ren was very
rest assured.
After getting off his horse, Shi Bao dove into the tent of thorns, guarding the brazier and never wanting to leave: "My mother, she's freezing to death!"
Jingjia threw a wine bottle to Shi Bao: "Take a few sips to warm yourself up! How much food did you bring this time?"
Shi Bao raised his head and took a big sip, shaking his head: "This time I just sent a letter, and I didn't bring a grain of food!"
"What's wrong, Mr. Su?"
Shi Bao took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Jingjie: "Sir, he told you to stay here and someone will come to take over the livestock in ten days. He will settle the food issue for you later."
"Oh? Who is so outrageous that Mr. Su owes so much money to someone?" Jingjia joked as he opened the letter.
"Then I don't know. My husband also said that we must clean up the Huns around us, and we must not leave a single person alive!"
Thorns was reading the letter, and Ivy said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Mr. Su, the Wolf Lord has been doing this. There is not a single Huns within fifty miles, and it was the same on the way here. Although it is not as large as the clearing area here, it is still ten miles."
Jingjie's face became redder and redder, and at the end, his face turned red. He burst out laughing before finishing the sentence, grabbed the wine bottle and drank heavily: "Young boy Su, you can really see far, and you can even see it in a row."
I was kept in the dark, what a stroke of genius! What a stroke of genius indeed!"
Shi Bao raised his head to take a look at the content of the letter, but Ji Ji quickly covered it: "Don't be so curious, kid, just do your own thing!" He blasted Shi Bao away and threw the letter and envelope into the brazier.
An orange-red flame rose into the sky, and no one knew what Su Ren said to Thorns in the letter.
After waiting for another half a month, the horse thieves were still in the mountain valley with no sign of leaving. Yi Zhixie was angry, patted the case and shouted: "Who said they would leave? It's been half a month, they
They have no intention of leaving! Many of the scouts they sent were killed. Where are they doing?"
Nie Yi didn't speak, Liu Hong and Young Master Ji couldn't speak, and the remaining Hun generals naturally didn't dare to speak casually. Yi Zhi glared at the group of people evilly: "Su Ren just wants to hold me back.
He just wants to hold me back and let Yu Dan become Shan Yu!"
A Hun general stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my men to annihilate those horse thieves!"
"Laton?" Yi Zhixie said: "I know that your tribe has suffered the most losses, but there are thirty thousand horse thieves, and your troops are not enough to destroy them."
The general named Laton knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, when have Hun warriors ever been so humiliated by the Han people? Even if I die, Laton, I will kill a few Hans to avenge the people of my tribe!"
"I also wish!" Liu Hong stood up without waiting for Yi Zhixie's answer. Laton glanced at Liu Hong gratefully.
Yi Zhixie said: "You?"
"Your Majesty, please believe me. I will definitely annihilate or drive those horse thieves out of Your Majesty's territory!" (To be continued)
