There were hundreds of thousands of people in the camp of the Xiongnu Shanyu, most of whom were elderly, weak, women and children. After the war, there were fewer adult men, leaving only a large number of widows and orphans.

Junchen Shanyu was moving his people, moving to the north, avoiding the pursuit of the Han people.

In the news he received, there was also the advance of the Han army. He had to consider these unarmed people and had to slip away in a hurry.

There are no shortages of nail households there, and the same is true among the Huns. Nearly a thousand people are unwilling to leave. Even though they are nomadic people, there are rich grasslands and no one wants to live a displaced life.

The high priest was invited by the Shanyu, and time was tight, so he had to use authoritative people to let them go with the large army.

The dry and thick palm touched the boy's slightly red face, and the high priest tried his best to make the boy less resistant as a kind elder.

"People! The enemy's army is about to be in sight. We must avoid it first. Your king has lost the battle and must recover. This period will not be too long. At most, half a month later, our army from various tribes will regain the land!

You must be at ease. I swear in the name of the sun that I will come back, and it should be ours, not at all!

If there are still variables, it is destined by God!”

The high priest Hong's thick voice surrounded the ears of nearly a thousand people. In front of the army, the Shanyu's prestige was unique, but in the eyes of ordinary Huns, the King of Shanyu could be changed, but the high priest would not change. They could not listen to the orders of the military minister Shanyu, and at most they could leave. The high priests had to listen to the words of the high priests. They felt that if they did not listen, they would be abandoned by God.

"Great High Priest, will our land not be destroyed by the enemy? Can our cattle and sheep be taken away?" said an old woman in simple clothes.

"The Han Dynasty's people make a living by planting, and they will not cut the grass from the grassland!" said the high priest.

The people below laughed, and this joke made them much easier.

The high priest said again: "Whether the cattle and sheep can be taken away, it depends on you. If you don't leave, can't the cattle and sheep stay with you?"

"I believe you, high priest, I will pack my luggage now, write it and leave!" the old woman replied.

"We'll go, too!"

"I'll leave too!"

With people taking the lead, fewer and fewer people were shaken, and they were just hesitant. Since the high priest was trying to persuade him and no longer knew what to do, wouldn’t he deliberately go against the high priest?

But there was one that went against it

The family of Kadala stubbornly did not pack their luggage. The family of five, Kadala and his wife Yejiya, grandmother Nosu, son Jeddah's daughter Gia.

Because my grandfather loved this land and asked them to protect it before he died. My grandfather was a warrior on the grassland. Their ancestors took the lead in setting foot on this rich homeland. The inheritance of generations always warned them not to leave, and even if they died, they would die in this vast grassland!

"Will your family leave?" the high priest said calmly.

"Glory should be protected by life!" Kadala said firmly.

"Your family is a real grasslander

We were both, but unfortunately, now I have bonds and become no longer pure. Brother, I hope you have good luck!" the high priest sighed.

"Thank you, the noble high priest!"

All the Huns could carry were restricted by the Shanyu, and the enemy was coming soon. Those scattered small flocks of cattle and sheep should be abandoned because they would drag everyone down. This greatly harmed the interests of the poor, but there was no way. The nobles never wanted to care about their life and death, and the high priests were also obeying the long-standing hierarchy.

Their cattle and sheep are gone and they cannot rely on anything. They can only pray that their prey will form a scale in the coming year.

Ge has always followed Grandpa, and she has always had a doubt, "Grandpa, why can't they let go and follow us?"

"They can't let go, this is their source of strength..." The high priest looked at his granddaughter in love and said.

"Will Ge be put down in the future?"

"Yes, you still have endless possibilities!"

Except for the rest of the Han army, the 100,000 were on the way, and the Shanyu's wealth was right in front of him. According to the snatch, the soldiers could divide the things they had snatched in half. When the general's order to march at full speed was initiated, the soldiers could no longer wait.

But the escape of the Huns disappointed everyone...

Should I be so cruel and nothing is left behind? What about the cattle? What about the sheep? Liu Che knew that he shouldn't have too much hope. Shanyu was not stupid. Even though he knew that he could not defeat him, he would still show off his strength, wouldn't he lose his wife and his army?

Luan Bu smiled and hung his sword on the ground, comforting him: "It is also a happy thing for us to lose such a hard battle. Let's raise our energy to welcome the counterattack of the Huns. Land is more important than money, cattle and sheep!"

"You are so open-minded, the land is indeed a long-term transaction, only profit but not compensation.

The Shanyu may have a moment of depression on the road. Without Hexi, he would be anxious! Hahaha." Liu Che thought of the painful expression of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and he felt much more comfortable.

The soldiers were searching for the scattered camp tents, trying to find something valuable, and a small flock of scattered sheep became their target.

"How far can I go from here?" Liu Che asked Li Guang.

"We can go directly to Loulan Kingdom. After the counterattack of the Huns is resolved, we can ask Your Majesty to set up several counties in this Hexi Corridor, and move some refugees or people who are willing to explore to come here to live, give him land, recruit migrant workers to build cities. With the fertile land, this place will definitely become a bridge connecting the Western Regions!"

After hearing Li Guang's words, Liu Che's first reaction was the four counties in Hexi and the Western Regions Protectorate. It seemed that the name after Loulan Kingdom was called Shanshan Kingdom...

Will Wei Qing and Huo Yunbing take down the place he captured before? Liu Che thought that no, it would take a process to make the countries in the Western Regions surrender, and it would be inevitable that envoys like Zhang Qian would go out to the frontier and do these things for him. Using troops will not only consume time and money, but also easily suffer losses.

Different, it is a kingly way, and Liu Che has no doubt about the inclusiveness of the Chinese nation...

Liu Che, who was thinking about his own thoughts, was woken up by the crying sounds in the distance.

The five Huns, both old and young, were pulled out of the tent by the soldiers. Judging from their actions, they seemed to be trying to kill all the men.

But there is also a boy of five or six years old here. Even Genghis Khan doesn't kill children who are only about 1.2 meters tall. But does the Han people want to use boys to serve as military merits?

No, this is absolutely not possible. Liu Che thinks that war should not involve civilians. Ordinary people are innocent, and the abominable thing is the war maker.

In the future, Liu Che will be one of them, provoking wars and expanding the territory of the Western Han Dynasty, but our Comrade Liu Che can be called "Strive for the great unification of the motherland."

What a perfect and accurate answer...

"The Huns are not all soldiers. These people are obviously ordinary herdsmen. I think they should be released. I wonder what the soldiers think?" Liu Che said to several soldiers who waved their spears.

The prince spoke, but he did not dare to deny the prince's intention with their ten courage.

After Liu Che settled the hostile family, he went to find Li Guang and the others. The issue of military appearance and discipline should be dealt with. He couldn't stand the killing of herders along the way, and now he doesn't even let the boy go.
