The Huns arrived earlier than Su Ren expected. It only took them one day and one night to complete the three hundred miles. It is unknown how many people died on the road during this period. You can only know the current situation of those people who looked at it.
Why did they agree to such harsh conditions proposed by the Han Dynasty? Even among the nobles, there were only a few who could ride in carriages. Every one of them was blown away by the cold wind while riding on the horse, and they wanted to get into the horse's belly.
Su Ren stood on the high wall and looked down at everything. He was not a person who was willing to do everything by himself, especially when faced with such thin and lonely refugees. Everything was explained, as long as no one among them acted recklessly, everything would be fine.
The Huns were settled very smoothly. Behind Su Ren were officials who came from more than a dozen counties to accept the Huns. The furthest ones have not yet arrived, and those who can stand here now are all near Yanmen.
people.
Jinyang Changshi is an old man over fifty years old, with a gray beard, bad eyesight, and several teeth missing in his mouth. His words are a little leaky: "General Su, are these Huns beasts?"
Su Ren said with a smile: "That's them, but the boss has to change his words. If you shout like that on the way back, something may happen. These Huns used to live in Yuci. They are very close to us Han people and can understand Chinese."
, besides, from the moment you took over, they became us Han people."
Jinyang Changshi snorted: "Are they worthy of being Han Chinese? It would be great if we can give them a way to survive. If they mess up any more, I will kill them with a single blow!"
The person who came from Yuyang thought that Sima was tall and thick, with a full beard, a sword at his waist, and several scars on his face. At a glance, it was clear that he had been on the battlefield and was not a Sima who had wandered around: "Old
Chang Shi is right, mother, if they dare to be so bold, kill them all, we in Yuyang don’t have any extra food for these beasts to eat.”
Shang Dangcheng smiled slightly. He was already fair and his smile was very warm. He waved his hands: "You two, Your Majesty asked us to accept these Huns. They are not here to fight. Let alone these people, even that Yi
Zhixie comes, and he can't make trouble with General Su. Listen to the next words, now the war between our Han Dynasty and the Huns is about to begin. It is better to appease these Huns and don't hold back General Su until General Su captures Yi alive.
Zhixie, no matter how you deal with them, it will be fine."
Jinyang Changshi and Yuyang Sima nodded repeatedly and clasped their fists at Su Ren to express their lack of consideration. Su Ren glanced at Shang Dangcheng and said: "It doesn't matter, we are all doing things for the imperial court and your majesty, so we should do our own thing well."
Basically, I think how about starting the distribution today? If these people stay here for one day, the threat from Yanmen Pass will increase."
All ten people agreed and immediately ordered the lower-level officials who came with them to go and do things. He still stood beside Su Ren and continued to admire the Huns all over the mountains and plains. The Huns were a nomadic people, and they would take all their belongings with them wherever they went.
This time was no exception. The sheep were closely guarded and walked in the middle of the entire team. The horses carried tents and necessary items on their backs.
As soon as they arrived at Yanmen Pass, the Huns started organizing the camp, setting up tents and livestock pens. There was no one idle, even the five or six-year-old children were busy behind the adults. The Huns did not like to accept charity from others, so Su Ren
There was not even a shed for cooking porridge, but some dry and hard flour cakes were placed not far from the wall. This attracted many people.
Although the staple food of the Huns is meat, they cannot eat meat all the time. When they were trading with the Han Dynasty, they needed all kinds of grains. In the two years following Yu Dan, they ate half of the livestock in their pasture. If they continue to
If you can't find a chance to survive, after eating all the remaining livestock, there is only one way left, death!
Under the huge sticks of the Han soldiers, the noisy crowd unconsciously formed a long queue. No one resisted the Han soldiers' sticks. Even the warriors who were as strong as mountains quickly lifted their bodies after being beaten again.
Shrink down to avoid irritating the Han people even more. You can't eat the stone-like naan bread with your mouth open, at least you have to put it in your arms to warm it for a while.
Yu Dan shed tears as he watched. Zhang Junyue beside him quickly comforted: "Your Majesty, you can't cry at this time. You can't let the Han people look down on us!"
Yu Dan cried louder, and King Youxian shook his head: "Let him cry. From today on, he is no longer the king, and these herdsmen are no longer his herdsmen. Don't talk about him, I want to cry. My ancestors paid
The strength that we have gathered with all our efforts to build the country is ruined in our hands, who can not cry?"
Zhang Junyue did not dare to say any more, but looked at the expressionless Han guards around him. Liu Jian rode on the horse and said: "It's nothing, just cry. It's okay if you've cried enough. I was a prince back then, and now I am in the city that never sleeps."
After becoming a school captain, I heard that His Majesty also granted you a title of marquis, which is much better than ours. You must know that the marquis of the Han Dynasty is not that good, and our general Su is just a pavilion."
Yu Shan was stunned and quickly stopped crying: "You also think you are a prince?"
"If it's true, he used to be the crown prince of Hengshan, but that was a few years ago. Now he's just the deputy general of Yanmenguan."
"It turns out that you and I are the same kind of people, I'm sorry!" Yu Dan immediately felt like he had found a confidant, and wished he could find a place to chat with Liu Jian right now.
Liu Jian also bowed back: "You're welcome to return. I'm just a captain. I don't want to mention the past things again."
Yu Dan nodded: "That's right, don't mention it. Let's go. Let's leave this sad place and go back to the tent to rest. Su Ren's arrangement is not bad. It seems that my tribe will not suffer any consequences in the Han Dynasty."
There was a place for distributing food under the wall, and there were a dozen tables on the other side. Each table had signs written in Chinese and Xiongnu. Su Ren did not intend to force these Huns to do anything this time.
It is a voluntary principle. As long as the Huns are willing to go to the new home prepared for them, everything is fine. If they are not willing, then they will eat this pancake and wait to freeze to death outside Yanmen Pass.
Han Qing and Su Ren argued for a long time about this. Su Ren still believed that the Huns should be allowed to choose their own life and death. Even if they all froze to death outside Yanmen Pass, it might be a good thing. Once forced, if trouble was caused, these few
Thousands of Huns will destroy many places that have been built with hard work, and Mayi will definitely bear the brunt. Another advantage of letting the Huns choose is that as long as they are willing to go, they can live peacefully in the Han Dynasty. It is a pity that Su Ren estimates
Misunderstanding the current situation, as a dependent party, the Huns, who had never made a choice in their bones, simply did not know what they should choose.
On the first day, no one came voluntarily. After hurriedly collecting their own bread, they sat down beside their livestock and lit a fire to warm themselves up. It seemed that these Huns could not hear anything about the loud propaganda of the officials.
.
Han Qing smiled at Su Ren: "How about it? What I said is right, right? They won't choose. As long as we assign them, they will willingly follow the people from those counties."
Su Ren had a dark face: "Why are you so anxious? It's only been a day. Let's see again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, let's talk."
On the second day, no one dared to approach the Han people who were waiting for their choice, and no one even made eye contact. At noon on the third day, a half-year-old boy timidly came to the table assigned to Dai Jun and spoke with an almost inaudible voice.
The voice asked: "Dare I ask, are you the ones who want to take us away?"
Daijun Biejia said quickly: "Yes, young man, are you willing to come to our Daijun?"
The boy thought for a while: "Can I still eat the pancakes from the past few days if I go?"
"Yes, as long as you are willing to go, the bread will take care of you."
"Okay, I'm willing to go!"
Dai Jun Biejia quickly ordered someone to naturalize this little guy. Waiting for everything to be done, Biejia said to the boy, "You can also bring all your family members over. If you bring one more person, I will give you an extra noodle cake."
The number of people that each county can arrange was discussed in advance. Before the officials from each county came, they thought that when the Huns arrived, Su Ren would assign those people to them and let them take them away to finish the work. Unexpectedly, they arrived
After arriving, they found that Su Ren asked them to find someone by themselves. No one wanted to stay in Yanmen Pass for a long time. Winter was coming soon, and the wind was so cold that ghosts howled like wolves. If they missed the journey, they might have to stay here this winter.
Here, this is not what everyone wants.
Holding the warm noodle cake, the Hun boy happily went back to look for people. Perhaps the naan cake in the boy's hand had an effect, and he brought back more than a dozen people in a short time. Daijun Biejia still used the same method just now.
, after distributing some bread to these people, he once again asked them to go back to find others. Before noon, Daijun’s table was crowded with ragged Huns.
Dai County took the lead, and by the evening of the same day, the recruitment plans of other counties also made progress. Su Ren's expression, which had been tense for two days, finally relaxed, and he rolled his eyes at Han Qing: "What, I said
right?"
Han Qing sighed: "Why bother with so many twists and turns in a good thing? I'm afraid those naturalized Huns are more interested in the bread than the advantages of the counties that attract them."
Su Ren waved his hand: "No, no, no, look at this, the Huns are not stupid. Look at Jinyang, Daijun recruits the most people, while Youbeiping and Yuyang further away have fewer people. Could it be that
Doesn’t this explain the problem?”
"What does this mean?"
Su Ren smiled: "Both Jinyang and Daijun are relatively affluent places, with mountains, water, fertile fields and pastures, but Youbeiping and Yuyang are not so good. These two places recruit less than 300 people a day, only
Because it is not even as good as Yanmen, Wuhuan and Goguryeo have always been eyeing these two places, and the Huns also know it."
Han Qing grabbed a few pieces of paper from Su Ren's hand and read them carefully several times. When he looked up at Su Ren, his eyes looked different. (To be continued)
