Life was very difficult for the Huns.

From beginning to end, they never understood why the Han Dynasty suddenly became so powerful.

Is it just because he got the war horse of the Yuezhi people?

Of course not!

Although the Huns did not fight against the Qin people in the early years, their ancestors did fight against the Qin people, Zhao people, etc.

They all knew Li Mu, Meng Tian and other famous generals.

Although I have made mistakes before, it was just a mistake.

Before this, it has been proven that as long as the grassland people want to run away, the farming civilization in the south will never be able to catch up.

Speed ​​was their advantage, so they used this advantage every time to attack quickly, catching the southern farming civilization off guard and panicking.

This is a trick they have tried time and time again.

But now, here comes the problem. The Han people seem to have suddenly undergone a huge change overnight. They are not only able to defend, but they are also able to attack. Not only they are able to attack, but they are also able to win.

If the battle at the end of the autumn of the year before last was an accident, and everyone did not know the inside story thoroughly, and even felt it was a bit suspicious.

Well now, this doubt has been completely thrown away.

There is nothing suspicious anymore.

The Han army's equipment was inferior to theirs, and the Han army's cavalry training also underwent tremendous changes through equipment innovation.

The Huns also learned some skills, such as stirrups.

But due to lack of materials and technology, their stirrups could only be replaced with a hard piece of wood.

But the force that the wooden block withstands is different.

Coupled with the exposure to wind and sun, there is no guarantee that it will simply snap off one day. In addition, they still have more doubts that need to be solved.

In addition to these, there is a more serious problem before them.

That is how to deal with today's crisis?

After the Xiongnu annexed Donghu, including those who had not yet had time to completely surrender, including the elderly and children, and including women, the total number of the Xiongnu was less than 1.5 million.

And what consequences did this battle bring to them?

In the east, more than 100,000 women were kidnapped, while in the west, more than 100,000 women were kidnapped.

The Han Dynasty abducted more than 200,000 Xiongnu women in one fell swoop, nearly one-seventh of the population.

If there were men, women, old and young, it would hurt, but they wouldn't be so passive.

To put it another way, there are still about 100,000 women of the right age in the Xiongnu.

That is to say, it refers to women in the age group of twenty to thirty years old.

The age is being relaxed a bit, dropping to fifteen years old, and the remaining number is probably around 130,000.

After reaching the age of forty, the total amount is less than 200,000.

How should I put it? If we add the more than 200,000 women who were kidnapped by the Han Dynasty, the number of women of the age of the Xiongnu would be around 300,000 to 400,000.

That is to say, the ratio is less than one-fourth. Excluding some old and young ones, it can basically guarantee that every man has a woman.

But now, only three men can compete for one woman, and it's the kind that has no age limit, no matter how good or bad it is.

Is this possible?

Therefore, it is not entirely the fault of the Huns for coming up with such a funny idea, but because the situation forced them to do so.

Otherwise, if nothing else, some internal struggles will cause this newly emerged tribe to fall apart.

This is not alarmist, but a very real problem.

There is actually no fundamental difference between humans and animals. When the time comes, they will all go into heat. If a man who is used to being wild can hold it in for a month or two, it will be fine. How about letting him hold it in for a year or two?

This is the nature of human nature, and no one can change it.

"What? You said the Huns are here to envoy?" Wang Buxu blinked, feeling as if he had heard a big joke.

The Huns, who were so mad that they were wolfing down, would actually send envoys to Luoyang?

What are they going to do?

"Yes, that's what they said at the border. The leader is the Hun Prince, Luo Tan Ji Zhou, and there are two hundred people. I feel they should all be guards." Peng Yue nodded and confirmed.

He shouldn't have reported this matter.

But there was no way. The scout system had the fastest transmission speed. Naturally, something like the Huns suddenly sending a prince to visit had to be transmitted back as quickly as possible.

As for the Huns mission!

Feel sorry!

Before receiving a reply from Luoyang, the border army would never let them enter the customs.

"It's interesting!" Wang Buxuan smiled slightly.

"Then Your Majesty, how should I reply?" Peng Yue was a little unsure.

"Yes!" Wang Buxu agreed directly. He wanted to see what kind of medicine the Huns were selling in the gourd.

Who is Kuantang Jizhou?

Of course Wang Buxu knew it, Peng Yue also knew it, and all the senior officials of the Han Dynasty knew it.

The scouts from the Xiongnu side have already conveyed the news that the man who led one hundred thousand troops south to besiege Yuyang County last year was Luotang Jizhou.

Modun Shanyu valued this prince very highly, and in last year's battle, he had no intention of paving the way for him.

How to say?

Although Luo Tan Ji Zhou did not complete the mission, his sensitivity and sense of danger on the battlefield also allowed him to lead 100,000 people away from the battlefield safely without being trapped by Guan Ying.

Therefore, although the Huns suffered heavy losses in terms of women and logistics, Maodun Shanyu still achieved some of his goals.

At least the people who followed Luo Tan Ji Zhou were relatively stable at that time, and these 100,000 were immediate combat power, which was the foundation for the Xiongnu to regain their strength.

"Pass Bayar!" Wang Buxing ordered again.

Bayar and Batu, these two unlucky guys, have not returned to Yuezhi since they went out with the Han army last year.

The main reason is that they don't dare to go back.

They disobeyed King Yuezhi's order and secretly led their troops to cooperate with the Han army to launch a war against the Xiongnu.

Some people who were so confident that they were blamed for the Xiongnu's sudden u-turn against the Yuezhi, believed that without their help, the Yuezhi would not be resented by the Huns. Even if there was hatred between the two,

They would not retaliate so quickly, so that when the Yueshi were completely unprepared, they were caught off guard by the Huns and suffered heavy losses.

Among the prisoners brought back by Zhang Buyi at that time, there were not only more than 100,000 Xiongnu women, but also nearly 100,000 Yuezhi women.

And these women are still detained by the Han Dynasty. Even though they belong to the Yueshi and friendly forces, the Han Dynasty still has no intention of releasing them.

In a short time, Bayar was led into the palace and outside the meeting hall.

But before he came, Shangshu Ling Chen Ping, Minister Xiao He, and Minister of War Guan Ying were already waiting here.

Bayar had met the Han Emperor from a distance at the coronation ceremony three years ago, but he would never have this opportunity again.

The meritorious services he and Batu did during this expedition were not small, but the Emperor of the Han Dynasty awarded rewards to everyone except the two of them.

Of course Bayar knew the reason, because they were not Han Chinese.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Today's scene was the first time Bayar saw it.

In the past, Bayar, who was used to seeing the market, wouldn't be too shocked, but now, living under someone else's roof, of course he knew the terror of this room of people.

Entering the meeting hall, Bayar quickly knelt down, almost lying on the ground.

"Foreign Minister Bayar pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty..."

"Get up!" Wang Buxuan said casually.

Bayar stood up nervously and quickly found an empty seat to sit down.

The meeting hall also has kneeling seats, but there are not many tables, there are only eight tables in total. When there are many people, these tables are removed and everyone stands, which also saves space.

"The Yuezhi King has repeatedly violated the agreement. Not only did he not cooperate with the Han's military actions, but he often caused some stumbling blocks in private. What do you think should be done about this matter?" Wang Buxu asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, King Yuezhi must have his own reasons, right?" Xiao He said.

"What's the reason? What's the deal with what was agreed upon is violated. What's wrong with having reasons? Should I, a big man, die because of his reasons?" Guan Ying slammed the table and challenged Xiao He on the spot.

"What is your attitude? Do you still have the concept of superiors and subordinates? In terms of position, I am a servant of the sect, and when it comes to the cabinet, I am also the deputy minister of the cabinet. Who is not higher than you, Guan Ying?" Xiao He immediately said dissatisfied.

"Don't give me an official position. I won't do this. If you, Shizhong Xiao, want to use your official position to suppress me, you should first ask your brothers who died in the battle if they are willing!" Guan Ying didn't have the slightest concern and immediately retorted.

Went back.

"Okay, okay, what are you arguing about? Can the quarrel produce a result?" Chen Ping quickly interrupted the quarrel between the two.

After having been in contact with Han people for a long time, I can still understand some Chinese Bayar.
