Chapter 192 Remember the mission
The reason why Huo Hai is confident that he will not be cursed by the two heavenly witches in his dream is because the environment he grew up in is completely different from this world, and the dreams are naturally different. As long as he repeatedly reminds himself before entering the dream, it will be difficult to get lost in the scene constructed by the heavenly witch.
After all, Tianwu could not have constructed a scene from the modern science and technology era in his dreams. Huo Hai, who has lived in modern times since childhood, most of the dreams have some modern elements. Even if it is a spring dream, it is mostly a scene from the island country. It will not be a beauty in ancient costumes wearing Hanfu in this era.
If Tianwu wants to build a dream for him, he must first be familiar with Huo Hai's three views and make some self-righteous things. Even in the dream, Huo Hai may not recognize it.
After all, the enjoyment of this era is very scarce. The Huns were already satisfied as long as they could eat food cooked with salt. However, what could make Huo Hai excited was the food that was full of color, fragrance and taste, and the exquisite food that was placed on the plate. These things, the Tianwu must have never seen before.
If you cannot touch Huo Hai's desire, it will be difficult to get lost in it.
Therefore, without knowing what the so-called beauty in Huo Hai’s mind is, the success rate of these Tianwu’s magic on Huo Hai is extremely low.
Even when Huo Hai's consciousness finds that he is in a dream, they may be deliberately dragged into their dream by Huo Hai, creating opportunities for the sergeant who is checking their identities.
Not long after, Huo Hai fell asleep, which was a tentative contact.
After all, it will take a lot of time for the Tianwu to search for Huo Hai from hundreds of thousands of people within a radius of 300 miles.
Therefore, Huo Hai slept very peacefully for a few hours after falling asleep. Zhang Ning, who was looking after him by the bed, helped him handle the information feedback from various search teams.
“Is there any situation?”
After sleeping for four hours, Huo Hai woke up naturally and asked Zhang Ning, who looked tired.
"No, although there are many people sent out to investigate, the number of people in the search range is also very large. Currently, it only reaches about 10%. If you want to check all radius of 300 miles, it may take more than ten days. This is still a case where everyone is prohibited from moving." Zhang Ning replied.
Huo Hai stood up and put on his clothes, signaling Zhang Ning to show him the investigation. After a while, his brows frowned.
“There are a lot of people in the search range?”
"Yes! There are more than 30,000 people in 10% of the area. There are at least 300,000 people in the entire area from Shicheng to Fenyang County." Zhang Ning nodded.
"Don't you think there is something wrong with this number? How many people in Bingzhou are there? The total population of Hexi will definitely not exceed 300,000, not to mention that it is just these two counties."
Hearing this, Zhang Ning was stunned, and a bad feeling arose from his heart.
"Quickly, please order each team to report the residence status of the inspectors. If these people moved here temporarily, we may have fallen into the encirclement set up by Tianwu."
After Zhang Ning gave the order, the guards on duty at the door immediately ran outside the camp. From time to time, there were scouts from various inspection teams to report the situation. They basically knew the specific situation of the investigation ahead, and soon, Huo Hai got some rewards.
"It's probably like this. Fortunately, we are alert and did not enter Lishi City directly. There should be the core of the ambush arranged by the Xiongnu Tianwu." Huo Hai said with a serious expression.
At first, he just asked the soldiers to check for suspicious people from outside, but what if the entire village was all outsiders? They had been brainwashed by Tianwu and would definitely cover each other. In this way, our soldiers' investigation may have no effect at all.
After a while, a scout was taken to Huo Hai's camp by his personal guard. After asking, all of Huo Hai's guesses were confirmed.
The people of all villages ten miles away from the county town have not had the characteristics of living here for a long time, because there are no developed fields or houses nearby that have been built for a long time. On the contrary, most of them are yurts and tent-style houses that the Huns or Qiang and Hu people are used to using.
Moreover, most of them were not Han people, mostly Qiang people, Hu people in the Western Regions, Xianbei people, and there were also a small number of Huns.
At first, the soldiers thought this was a mixed residence, and this situation was normal, but now when they thought about it, they found something wrong.
If these people live by grazing, then there should be a lot of cattle, sheep and livestock in this area!
However, when they were in the investigation, they did not see many livestock. So how do they usually live on?
"Immediately send orders to all departments to return to the camp as soon as possible and prepare for battle." Huo Hai issued an order.
Soon, a group of commanders ran out in all directions quickly, and Huo Hai also summoned all the generals who were resting in the camp to discuss matters.
"Even though we have made many predictions about how to deal with the Xiongnu Tianwu, we still underestimated their abilities. Most of the population that suddenly appeared between Fenyang County and Lishi City may be caused by the surrounding population they launched through dreams, and all of them may attack us at any time, especially when everyone is sleeping at night."
"Can the Heavenly Witch affect hundreds of thousands of people at once? This is incredible!" Wang Dang, who was not on duty, was sleeping, but after hearing what Huo Hai said, he lost his sleep in an instant, and said in surprise.
"Maybe we can't mobilize so many people at once, but they received the news that we would send troops to Hexi early in the morning, so they made preparations in advance, perhaps because they used psychological hints from the dream to gather these people here first, for some brainwashing or ideological implantation.
And when everyone is asleep, they may quickly shuttle through people's dreams and give them instructions to attack us." Huo Hai guessed.
"So, what we may face is the attacks of all the people they launched here in advance? Whether it is Han or Hu, old, weak, women, children or children?" Zhao Yun frowned.
"This is the disgusting thing about their trick. Even if we notice it, there is no way, because if we use a knife against these people, the court may not let us go. Moreover, in the eyes of the people in the world, we will become demons who kill randomly. It is really a poisonous plan that can't be poisoned anymore." Huo Hai said depressedly.
"Perhaps, we should inform Governor Zang of the matter now and ask him to write to the court to state the facts so as not to report it after the war begins. Those court officials will be considered a slander." Zhang Ning made a suggestion to Huo Hai.
"It's useless. Since the literati and officials want to use this trick to deal with me, they must have the means to block Zang Min Yanlu. We are trying to make the land of Hexi to become the south of the Yangtze River and provide us with a steady stream of food. No one can help us grow food. Therefore, we must crack the Tianwu method and let these people survive." Huo Hai shook his head.
While speaking, Huo Hai's mind began to deduce the situation in front of him.
The Xiongnu Tianwu knew early in the morning that he would use Lishicheng as an outpost to guide Hexi, so the killing formation they arranged should be in Lishicheng.
Now Huo Hai noticed something strange in Fenyang County, and just entered the periphery of the killing array they arranged and pulled out in time, it would be time to do so.
Therefore, they may not launch the attack for the time being, and will wait for Huo Hai to enter Lishicheng and then launch the human sea tactics.
It is certainly good that they can defeat Anbei Army and kill Huo Hai in this battle.
If not, they would also defame Huo Hai and Anbei Army and make him the target of public criticism in the Central Plains.
The worst thing is that these people who are started to fight in their sleep may be different from normal people. If their mind is controlled, they may not have five senses and six senses, and fight hundreds of thousands of people who do not feel pain and are fearless of death. Even if Huo Hai is very confident in the military strength of his subordinates, he will not be optimistic.
Even, he can't even retreat now.
Because these people did not have food or livestock in their hands, and a small amount of food was allowed to support them for a few more days. After that, they would not have to spend any effort. They were hungry and cold, either frozen to death, or picked up the weapons in their hands and robbed all the food they could eat.
The Huns had already evacuated this area from afar. If these people wanted to use robbery to solve their food and clothing problems, they could only go to the areas where the Han people lived in Bingzhou, and eventually forced Huo Hai to kill him.
Thinking about this vicious plan further, the more incredible Huo Hai felt it was. It seemed that there were experts on the Huns!
"Let everyone concentrate on military control!" Zhang Ning finally spoke when the generals did not have any good suggestions.
"The feasibility is not high. Even if we centrally control it, we cannot let them not sleep. Moreover, if our staff are used to see these people, our plan to enter Hexi will be ruined. Just by calling these more than 300,000 people for food, drink, defecation and sensation, we will be overwhelmed." Huo Hai shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
"Divide the people in this area into several small groups to move them to counties and counties within our control in Bingzhou, or to the northern defense zone, so that they can choose to open up land or farm or grazing according to their skills. Our team will move to wherever we move to, and resist those who do not follow us.
As long as we divide them outside the control of Tianwu, we will be much safer." Huo Hai said.
"In this case, the Tianwu, who knows that our migrants, will take action in advance. Moreover, it is not easy to get food for so many people to spend the winter." Zhang Ning frowned.
"Then take the initiative to expose my information and let those Tianwu come to me directly! This should be the least expensive solution to the problem."
"No~!"
The generals said in unison.
"When war, there is no way to take risks with the fate of the main general. Since those witches want to use these people to kill us, we can kill these people. At worst, I will take responsibility for you. Afterwards, you will say that we are rebel generals and kill us to the people of the world with an explanation." Wang Dang disagreed.
"I, Huo Hai, don't need to kill my brother to give me any explanation. The literati in the court would not change my view of me because I took the blame. I want to do this, not only because I am certain, but also because of the idea we set at the beginning of the uprising.
We want to save the people and change the world.
There are no people, how can we save the people from changing the world?
