Chapter 374: The Great Integration of Nationalities
In the early morning, in a Xiongnu village in Bingzhou, people got up and washed up and prepared to go to the fields to work. In the quiet small village, there was a peaceful scene.
Although their ancestors were nomadic peoples, after living in the Han area for so many generations, the Huns also learned to farm. Although the food they planted was not very edible, they would not starve the young and old of the Huns to death with the food they snatched from the Han people by their brave soldiers.
An old Hun man with a kind face walked out of the village, missing the glorious past of his followers to the Han area to seize food and grass and women. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed that the good days at that time were gone forever.
In recent years, with the bad season and the increase in civil strife, the Han people's food has become less and less, and their descendants have not been able to grab much food. If this continues, I am afraid that I will become hungry and thinner.
Suddenly, the violent sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the morning. The old man raised his head, and what caught his eye was a team wearing armor that he had never seen before, galloping towards him.
The old man was stunned and then shocked. Although the army did not know the purpose of the arrival, it was obvious that the visitor was not good. Now many strong men in the village went to train with Shanyu, preparing to go to the Han area in spring to grab a big fight, which made the defense in the village empty. What should they do if they broke into the village?
Just as they were about to exclaim loudly, the cavalry had already rushed to him like the wind. When a cavalry swung his sword hard, they saw a shiny steel knife passing by in the air. With a snap, the head with white hair flew up and fell to the ground from a distance. The headless corpse fell to the sky, and the blood sprayed from the neck dyed the ground bright red.
The cavalry kept rushing into the village, waving the steel knives, and slashing all the Hun men he saw on the road.
The screams sounded sharply, and the alarmed Hun men rode on their own war horses, raised their own swords and guns, rushed out of the door, preparing to fight against the powerful enemy who suddenly broke in.
When they hurried to the avenue, they saw Han cavalry rushing along the avenue, with distinctly armored clothes and distinctively dressed.
The war horses galloped, and the cold light rushed towards us. The steel knife drew an arc in the air, slashing the Huns, shattering their bodies and falling off the horse.
The Hun men yelled angrily, swung their swords to counterattack, and vowed to defend their homes and honors to the death, and would never lose to the weak Han people.
When the Huns' iron sword slashed the Han people's armor, the violent vibration from their hands made their arms numb, but they could only add a white seal to the iron armor, or make the thick armor slightly sunk, and they could not cut the strong armor at all.
The Han cavalry roared, raised the sabre made of steel, slashed hard on the Hun man with a desperate face, and killed them on the spot. Then they made up a few slashes to prevent them from having a chance to survive.
The entire village was in a state of blood. The Huns and women who ran out all heard the Han cavalry shouting loudly, ordering them to surrender in unskilled Xiongnu words and ensuring that they could survive. Otherwise, the whole village would be executed without leaving any one!
The woman with a face of earth fell to the ground, allowing the war horse to gallop past her, sprinkling a large area of dust on her body, but her hands desperately hugged the stubborn child in her arms and struggling hard, and refused to let them die.
On the streets of the village, there were fierce Han cavalry running everywhere. A large number of Huns cried and fled out of the village and fled to the north with no life.
At this time, around the village, there were already several cavalry waiting there coldly. But they just sent a few teams to rush back and forth on three sides of the village, forcing them to escape to the north.
The Huns fled in panic in front, and Han cavalry chased after him, swung their spears in their hands, hitting the guns on the heads of the Huns, knocking them to the ground, then pointing their guns at their throats, forcing them to surrender.
Several men got up from the ground, pointed at the Han cavalry and cursed, and refused to surrender to these Han people. The cavalry didn't say much, and stabbed their spears and penetrated their throats. As blood splattered, they looked at the Huns' corpses on the ground, but the others were scared to kneel down on the ground and dared not resist again.
The remaining Huns were running desperately with their children. Listening to the chasing cry behind them gradually subsided, just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a woman shouting loudly in front of them, which was also spoken in the unskilled Huns' words, asking them to stop and accept the treatment.
With a look of fear and confusion, the Huns and women looked up and saw teams of soldiers riding back and forth, blocking them in front of them. The steel swords and spears in their hands were shining coldly and stunning. Under the cold battle helmet, the faces of young women were all revealed.
After running for so long, the fugitives were exhausted. Seeing that the way was cut off, the women and children could only kneel down on the ground in despair and hand over their destiny to these foreign conquerors.

The imperial army continued to advance northward. Wherever they went, the Xiongnu villages were swept away, and men, women, young and old would be arrested and sent to the Sili area in the rear.
Among them, the Huns were sent to mining in the metropolis and were closely monitored by the army. If there were any rebellion, some of the people in the leadership would be killed immediately. The rest were silent and could only endure hardships and work hard to get food. Under the gaze of the Han soldiers, they did not even dare to breathe.
Only at night did they hug the cold quilt, remembering the glorious past of riding war horses, burning, killing and looting on the territory of the Han people, and bursting with spirits. All the heroic deeds of that year seemed to be like a dream, disappearing and everything became empty.
Most of the women caught were sent to the military farmland and asked the bachelors inside to choose spouses.
Hearing such good news, the men in the farmland jumped up and ran to see the Hun women, their eyes straightened and saliva flowed.
After years of civil strife and famine, countless deaths, both men and women. Women were weak and could not resist hunger, and could not stop looting and killing men like wolves and tigers. There were many people who died in the war and famine. Some people were even arrested by hungry people and eaten as meat after being killed.
Most of the areas where the farmland farms are refugees from all over the world, and most of them are men. They have not seen women for a long time. When they heard that a woman was coming, they were very happy and wished they could rob one of them home and throw them on the bed.
The official responsible for supervising the Hun women announced the order loudly, saying that the court was sorry for the men who were lonely in the farmland and specially distributed the women to this place. Those in need could come forward to apply, just pay a little money symbolically.
The required condition is that the consent of the Hun women must be obtained. In addition, the children of the Hun women or the elderly at home must be supported, and they must be supported, and they must be led to cultivate land and farming and plant food.
For these bachelors, although they still had to bring their children to live with the old Huns and old ladies, they still endured it in order to get the woman they dreamed of, ran to look at it one by one, found the woman they liked, and reached out to propose to her.
Most of the Hun women covered their faces and cried, but in order for the remaining family to survive, they still had to accept the proposal of the Han man, hoping that he could abide by the agreement and give his own rations to the elderly and children.
And those old and young people who were not wanted were sent to auction and slaves to major households. For a time, the number of Huns gathered in the Han area increased, which was in line with Prime Minister Huang Shang's goal of "great ethnic integration".
As the Han army advanced step by step, the villages of the Huns gradually began to flee north. Anyone who did not escape would be surrounded by the Han army. The villagers were captured and sent to the rear, and soon there was only one empty village left.
In the territory of Shanyu Yufuluo, the population was reduced. Finally, he could no longer bear it and gathered all the remaining forces to fight to the death with the Han army.
If he had a choice, he would rather die than face the mighty Han king. Even though he believed in the power of the Hun warriors, he knew that with his own ability, he was not much stronger than those famous generals in Jizhou. Yan Liang and Wen Chou died under the command of King Wuwei, Gao Lan and Zhang He were defeated by him, and his existing strength was really unable to compete with King Wuwei.
But retreating is also death. If you are defeated and fled to the north, the Xiongnu tribes that rebeled from their fathers would probably not accept them. They might even take the blame and siege them until they kill them. If so, it would be better to fight to the death. There is still hope to use the power of cavalry to disperse the Han infantry camp and defeat King Wuwei's army. At that time, his reputation was greatly boosted, and perhaps the Hun tribes in the north were intimidated by their reputation and would take them back to succeed the Shanyu.
Therefore, Yu Fuluo was forced to decide to fight the Han army to the death, and whether to win or lose, so he will see the difference in this battle!
