Things like Zhouzhuang are constantly happening among the counties in the northern part of Zhao State.

Although the invasion of the Huns was a temporary decision, it was premeditated.

There was not no exchange between the Huns and Zhao State. As early as the era of King Wuling of Zhao, in addition to setting up the Great Wall on the border, Zhao State also used cloth, grain and other materials to exchange war horses and livestock with the Huns.

Compared with the war horses of Zhao State, the Huns' war horses were short but had amazing endurance and survival. They also had no requirements for the quantity and quality of the forage. After cultivation, they could become excellent cart pulling and horse pulling.

Although such transactions are not frequent, for the Huns who had long coveted the prosperity of the Central Plains, it was enough for them to collect some clues and bribe some incompetent Zhao officers and officials.

There has been no large-scale battles on the northern border of Zhao State for a long time, which has caused many people to suffer from amnesia.

Making mistakes comes at a price. According to subsequent statistics, during this Hun invasion, more than 200,000 people in Zhao were robbed and killed by the Huns.

The leader of the Lan clan sat on the horse, his posture was a bit strange, staring at a village in Zhao State with thick smoke in front of him, with fierce and sharp eyes.

Just half an hour ago, an important part of the leader of the Lan clan was bitten by a seemingly docile woman named Zhao Guolou.

If the patriarch had not pulled out fast enough, he would have always said goodbye to this important part.

The chief of the Lan clan in rage killed every Zhao people who could see it, and several Lan clan guards who witnessed all this on the spot were also executed on the charge of poor escorts.

However, the anger in the heart of the leader of the Lan clan was still as strong as a volcano, and he urgently needed a breakthrough to vent it.

Another dense sound of horse hooves sounded, and smoke and dust rolled in the distance, and a group of ten thousand Hun cavalry swept over. It turned out that the Subu cavalry arrived.

The leader of the Xubu clan came to the front of the leader of the Lan clan and smiled: "I heard that you have robbed a lot of food in the past two days. Do you want to share some of our Xubu clan?"

The leader of the Lan clan snorted and said, "Didn't you Xubu's family also stole several small towns?"

Speaking of which, you Subu has obtained more things."

The leader of the Subu clan laughed and said proudly: "Actually nothing, it's just some bows and crossbows, weapons and tens of thousands of stones of food."

The Huns did not produce, and food was more important to the Huns than the Central Plains people.

The leader of the Lan clan frowned and after a while, he said, "I am going to attack Pingyin City, are you going?"

The head of the Xubu clan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Is Pingyin City the capital of Yanmen County, Zhao State? There are more than 30,000 people living there. Do you really think we can break through such a city?"

The leader of the Lan clan said impatiently: "The two tribes have about 20,000 cavalry in total. What's wrong with a city with 30,000 people? Could it be that all the 30,000 people in Pingyin City are soldiers?"

The head of the Subu clan shook his head and said, "That's right, but we are cavalrymen. How can cavalry attack the city?"

The leader of the Lan clan snorted and said, "Who said that cavalry cannot attack the city?"

This time we caught a lot of craftsmen and asked them to make some siege tools."

The leader of the Xubu clan was still hesitant and did not continue to speak.

The head of the Lan clan coughed and said, "I heard that there is a lot of wealth in Pingyin City, as well as countless grains and salt! The annual grain distribution of the five northern counties in Zhao State is from Pingyin City to other counties. If Pingyin City is conquered, let alone next year, we don't have to worry about our food within three years!"

The eyes of the Xubu clan leader suddenly lit up.

The Huns did not produce food because they did not have arable land and did not have the farming technology, which did not mean that they did not like food.

On the contrary, when the Huns traded on the border, they liked to trade food the most.

In addition, salt is also an essential substance for the human body. Without salt, it is unimaginable for the human body.

After a brief hesitation, the head of the Xubu clan said: "What if the reinforcements from Zhao State come?"

The leader of the Lan clan laughed and said, "We have all entered the territory of Zhao for twelve days. Where are the reinforcements of Zhao?

Even if we come, we can contact the leader of the Huyan clan and fight with him."

The Subu clan was shocked: "Do you still want to fight against the Zhao army?"

The leader of the Lan clan looked at the leader of the Subu clan with disdain: "Are you just sleeping with the women of Zhao these days?

I already know that Zhao State has lost many times in recent years and has lost at least 400,000 soldiers and horses! I ask you, how much combat effectiveness can a country have after losing 400,000 soldiers and horses?"

The leader of the Xubu clan was surprised again: "Four hundred thousand?

Are you serious?"

The leader of the Lan clan shook his head speechlessly and looked at the leader of the Subu clan with an idiot: "If you can catch an official from Zhao State, you will not ask such a stupid question."

The head of the Xubu clan smiled and said embarrassedly: "Actually, dozens of them have been arrested, but I have killed them all, so I didn't hear anything they said."

The leader of the Lan clan said impatiently: "Do you fight Pingyin?"

If you don't fight, I'll go find the other two."

The head of the Xubu clan hurriedly said, "Fight, you must fight."

Let's go!"

The distance between Pingyin City was not far. On the afternoon of the next day, a total of 19,000 cavalrymen of the Lan family and the Subu family surrounded Pingyin City.

The head of the Huyan clan happened to be nearby. After hearing the news, he immediately led 11,000 Huyan cavalry to join the Lan clan and Subu clan.

Unexpectedly, the first leader of the Huyan clan expressed his objection: "What are you thinking?

The news I just received was that there were 15,000 cavalrymen in the State of Zhao, 9 Yuan, and a total of 15,000 cavalrymen in the Yunzhong, and they were about to arrive here!"

The Huyan clan leader felt that the number of 20,000 cavalry should be very shocking, but the other two Hun clan leader looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The head of Huyan clan said angrily: "What are you laughing at?

Now hurry up and gather your troops and inform the Tushiro family, let us retreat quickly!”

The head of the Lan clan said: "Old man, your knowledge is already behind.

Our tribes of the three tribes have a total of more than 30,000 people. Can they still be defeated by the 15,000 cavalry of Zhao State?"

The head of Huyan clan came back to his senses and looked shocked: "You are still planning to fight with the people of Zhao?"

You guys are crazy!"

The leader of the Lan clan grabbed the arm of the Huyan clan and said coldly: "Don't you know the defeats the people of Zhao have encountered in the past few years?"

Let me talk to you well.

In the Battle of Yiyang, the people of Zhao lost 100,000 people; in the Battle of Gaotang, the people of Zhao lost 150,000 people; in the Battle of Jidu, the people of Zhao lost another 150,000 people! A total of 400,000, and Zhao's military force and military dispatched northern legions to the south for many years. How much combat effectiveness do you think the 5,000 northern border cavalry legions still have?

Yuanyang City is right in front of us. As long as we can defeat Zhao's reinforcements and capture Yuanyang City, this rich land will belong to us! Tell me, do you want to return to the desert to blow the cold wind, or do you want to fight for it to stay in this wealthy land in the Central Plains?"

The head of the Huyan clan fell into a long silence.

The materials obtained from the robbery in Zhao State these days kept flashing in his heart, which was in sharp contrast to the life of the Huns who were trapped in the desert in the past few years.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then let's try!"
