Tobero

At this time, Xinshan Pass was not as tragic as Tu Hao expected.

The frontier army led by Uncle Ye was originally an elite army. It was difficult to fight in the past. The reason for the loss was that the number of horses was not so many, and the quality of the horses was not very good. They were inferior to the opponent in terms of mobility.There are also some unscrupulous businessmen in the country who smuggle high-quality ironware to the barbarians, making the opponent's weapons sharper, making it very difficult to fight.

But it's different now.The number of their horses is indeed not enough, but it is enough to arm an entire elite army.The rest of the infantry also accumulated a lot of experience and routines against cavalry.

The new iron makes the combat capability of elite soldiers even more powerful.

Think about how the two sides drew their swords and slashed at each other. If you go over with your own sword and cut off the enemy's sword, it doesn't count, and even the man and the horse were chopped off together.When the enemy slashed at his body, he might not even be able to cut through his own armor.

How is this fight going?

It's so impossible to fight!

In just ten days, the Han army repelled and maimed the attacking barbarians, and captured tens of thousands of people.Countless cattle, sheep and horses were captured!

The news spread to the capital, and the whole country celebrated!

In the history of the Han Dynasty, and even several dynasties forward, in the history of dealing with the barbarians, there were always more losses than victories.Even in some eras when the national power was strong, when encountering wars, defense was the main focus.

Such a real victory like this time is almost the first time in the world!

After achieving such a record, the number of casualties is still very small.In the internal battle reports and memorials, all the wounded have been properly arranged.There are not enough military doctors in other places, but there must be enough military doctors in Xinshanguan.The military medical school is in Wufeng County next door to them, okay?

Uncle Zhang even specially held a grand ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and told his father in heaven: Your son, I love you very much, grass chicken bull!

Ye Erjiu and Ye Dahua, whom Tu Hao cared about, were all fine.He followed Xu Mingxu under false pretenses, and when he went to Xinshan Pass for the second time, he went to check it out: "The oily skin is not broken." After he relaxed, he began to talk cheaply, "Cousin Dahua, are you going to fight or not?" To make soy sauce?"

Second Uncle Ye still doesn't quite understand what it means to make soy sauce. Ye Dahua has been poisoned by all kinds of weird words about butchering mice since she was a child, and she will explode when she hears it: "I'm beating you! I'm a thousand households now, does Qianhu know?" ?”

In exchange for real military exploits!

Sacks of enemy heads in exchange for one sack!

Those cattle, sheep and horses were all thanks to the information he had obtained in the grassland several times before, so that he was able to gain so much.

Tu Hao nodded ignorantly, and rubbed his hand with the stove: "Is it very powerful?"

Ye Dahua told him with certainty: "Very powerful." He raised his hand to touch Tu Hao's face, and found that it was cold, so he couldn't help lighting another charcoal basin, "It's so cold, you can't stay well in the capital, come here What are you doing here? Assuming you are in good health now?" My little cousin's body is weak.The border is not a good place. I don’t have anything I want. It’s snowing today, so why come to join in the fun?What if you get sick?

In fact, there is a kang in the house, but the fuel in the army is limited, and it is far from the coldest time.Even Uncle Ye couldn't just burn the kang in broad daylight.

Tu Hao whimpered and twisted: "I almost forgot, I installed a few heating stoves, and craftsmen also have them. After a while, I will have someone renovate your and second uncle's houses, and let second uncle watch the rest. distribute."

Ye Dahua is more able to resist the cold because of his strong bones, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't feel cold anymore.Hearing that there was a heating stove, he immediately nodded his head, and suddenly remembered another thing: "My father said, those captives will be sent to you to dig the river."

Since they are captives, there is no reason to offer food and drink, but they are sent directly to dig rivers...

Tu Hao was a little puzzled: "Is there no one to redeem?"

Xu Mingxu opened the door and came in, just in time to hear Tu Hao's words, and asked Ye Dahua suspiciously: "Second uncle said that he would send all the captives to dig the river?" He had just handed over the supplies he brought to the generals of the border army, I don't know about this.

Regarding this battle, most common people only know that they won, and it was a good victory.But for officials like Tu Hao and Xu Mingxu, they knew more details.

For example, barbarians are just a collective term.In fact, the barbarians consisted of many tribes and nationalities, some were strong and tyrannical, some were weak and bullied, some only wanted to plunder, and some worked hard.

For example, the barbarians who knocked at the pass this time were a very powerful tribe with a large population, strong soldiers, and many small tribes attached to them.The more than 1 people they captured included not only some elite soldiers, but also several nobles from the tribe.

In the eyes of the honest businessman Mouse, these people are all valuable.

In the eyes of the upright official Xu Mingxu, the benefits of letting these people go back are far higher than the benefits of staying as coolies to control the water.

"These people are not ordinary soldiers. If they stay to control the water, more people need to be sent to take care of them. If they are not there, the rest of the people are just a mob." This is from the perspective of practical management.After Xu Mingxu finished speaking, he changed his angle and continued, "If we put these people back..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Second Uncle Ye opened the door and came in. When he heard it, he was furious: "Naughty beast! How can the barbarians captured by the soldiers with their blood and lives be released back!"

Cursing people and evil animals, this is completely treating Xu Mingxu as his own cub.Tu Hao wanted to laugh when he heard it, and because he was the most favored, he pulled Uncle Ye and sat down around the brazier: "Don't worry, listen to brother first." After speaking, he picked up a few more from the brazier with his chopsticks. A well-roasted chestnut was placed flatteringly in front of Second Uncle Ye.

All the chestnuts of uniform size are covered with cross knife flowers. After being roasted by charcoal fire, the knife edge is cracked, revealing the roasted golden chestnut meat inside. Before eating it, a sweet taste rushes in the nose.

Second Uncle Ye didn't pay attention, so he peeled it off and ate it. It was delicious and sweet, and he drank another cup of tea poured by Xu Mingxu, and hummed, "You beast, continue talking."

Xu Niehu suppressed a smile, and respectfully obeyed: "Yes, second uncle." He explained the difficulties of keeping these people from the beginning, and then continued, "Put them back, of course it's not for nothing, just like the little one. As the mouse said, it has to be redeemed. It is best to use uncastrated war horses. The relationship between the barbarian tribes is not like my big man. I think the family members who come to their headquarters are willing to pay such a price. Of course, there is no need to ask too much , It can also be replaced by a part of cattle and sheep."

He owns a racecourse, so of course he knows how much the big man lacks excellent horse breeds.The value of these barbarian nobles in his eyes is not even as good as an excellent stallion.

Hearing the war horse, Second Uncle Ye was also a little moved, but: "Isn't this going back to the mountain?"

"What kind of tiger is a tiger with its teeth pulled out?" Xu Mingxu smiled confidently, "In this battle, [-] enemies came, [-] were beheaded, [-] were captured, and the number of wounded who fled back was more than this. Whether he can survive or not is another matter."

Indeed, before Tu Hao took out the anti-inflammatory drugs, the number of soldiers who died from trauma was even more than those who died directly on the battlefield.The big guys are like this, and the barbarians who don't know how much behind the big guys in medicine will only be worse than the big guys.

Second Uncle Ye nodded: "Continue talking." He seemed to have a clue, but he was still not sure.

Xu Mingxu didn't let it go: "A tribe with tens of thousands of people is still a big tribe, but it is already a tribe that has been beaten. Even if they dare to break the barrier again, we can beat them once, and naturally we can beat them again." To disable them for the second time, they don't have the strength to knock again in a short period of time.

The barbarians believed in warriors, and after these nobles were redeemed, the people's belief in them would definitely decrease.You said, will other clansmen jump out and replace them as the new tribal leaders? "

"Yes!" Uncle Ye slapped his thigh, "Definitely will!" A tribe that has already been disabled, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, if they can elect a new leader of the tribe who is enough to convince the crowd and capable , a resurgence is not impossible.In particular, in order to prove himself, the new tribal leader will often knock on the gate again and come to a revenge battle to prove himself.

Although they are not afraid of Xinshanguan, it is not enough to fight a war.Fighting a war requires countless resources, and it is not simply a matter of taking as many people out to fight.

If Xu Mingxu's plan was followed, although it would not be able to defeat the enemy without fighting, it would save them a lot of effort.

Ye Dahua passed a peeled chestnut in front of Tu Hao and ate it, and looked at her cousin-in-law with admiration: "That's right, letting them fight among themselves is much easier than us going to war. As expected of a civil servant, the methods are really dirty ah……"

Tu Mouse picked up a chestnut and threw it at Ye Dahua.

Ye Dahua refused to fight back, and peeled chestnuts for her little cousin, asking Xu Mingxu, "These are delicious, where did they come from?"

The chestnuts in the brazier were almost eaten, so Xu Mingxu took another handful and threw it in: "Big cousin sent it." The big cousin he was talking about naturally referred to Ye Yao, "There are still a lot of things outside, some fresh ones. The fruit is not durable, so you have to eat it quickly."

Even if the waterway is open now, it will take a long time to send things from the capital to Xinshanguan, which is not very convenient.When Tu Hao and the others came this time, the Ye family collected a lot of things, including food, clothes and clothes.Tu Hao himself didn't even know what was there.

Uncle Ye is used to life in Xinshanguan.Ye Dahua is not very used to it.People who follow Tumozi are like this, they always have some unconscious little particularities in food.Now the food in Xinshanguan is not too hard to eat, but it is definitely not like it.

The fresh fruits of this season are rare even in the capital, especially in Xinshan Pass.He couldn't sit still when he heard it, and immediately jumped up to get it: "Is it still on the boat? I'll move it!"

"This evil animal!" Uncle Ye scolded, but he didn't take it too seriously after all, and then discussed with Xu Mingxu about the supplies for the new year.

This transportation is considered to be the last time before the year.The next time we have to wait until the beginning of spring, it depends on whether the river can pass through.Since there is someone in the court who is good at handling things, he will directly talk about the supplies he needs.

Xu Mingxu made a list according to his words.

Tu Hao joined in the fun and made a list: "Second Uncle, do you want some snacks? I'll bring them to you next time."

Second Uncle Ye patted this very childish-looking nephew, and said kindly: "Second Uncle doesn't eat snacks, you can eat it yourself." Then he turned around and ate the fruit soup from Tumozi.

Tu Mouse: "I...I just wait for it to cool before eating."

New heating stoves have been installed in the barracks.The room was warm and harmonious, but Tu Mouse's heart felt chilly.He just knew that if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and there is a son who will snatch his snacks, being a father must not be much better!

Very angry!Go back and tell grandpa!

The author has something to say:

In one line

Ye Dahua (￣ω￣): It’s not good to eat too many snacks, my brother will eat spicy food for you.

Second Uncle Ye (￣ω￣): It’s not good to let the sweet soup cool down. Uncle eats spicy food for you.

Grandpa Ye (￣ω￣): You can’t eat too much meat. Grandpa will eat spicy food for you.

Little mouse: (/TДT)/

Happy Mariko's Day!

But I don't have any balls to eat QAQ
