But in the Huns' royal court, it was surprisingly peaceful at this time.
Although the first snow this year came a bit early, the first snow this year was indeed too light.
In previous years, when the first heavy snow fell, it would be at least a foot high, but this year it was less than two inches thick.
This made all the herdsmen excited, and everyone thought that this year would be a good year.
After all, there is too much snow on the grassland, which means white disaster.
Layers of heavy snow will cover the hay on the ground.
Moreover, it will also overwhelm the livestock sheds built by herdsmen.
The biting cold wind will freeze newborn lambs and calves to death.
Even the thinner adult cattle and sheep may fall in the white disaster.
In addition to the necessary troops guarding the royal court, the herdsmen remaining near the royal court are almost all old, weak, sick and disabled.
If a white disaster really comes, these people will not have any ability to resist.
"General, what's wrong with you? Do you want us to select some more slave girls for you?"
As the right general of the Xiongnu, Amul was entrusted with an important task by the military minister Shanyu this time, leading an army of 30,000 to guard the royal court.
After the military minister Chanyu left, his life began to be debauched and he pampered seven or eight female slaves almost every day.
But this morning, he felt uncomfortable all over.
He even lost any interest in the beautiful female slaves sent by his men.
For a whole day, he felt a chill in his heart, which made him feel manic.
"It's really fucking weird. I always feel like something is going to happen all day long. You guys, please be careful! My eyes are wide open. The weather is getting drier now, but Don’t let the water go anywhere!”
The irritable Amul walked around the royal court, but the anxiety in his heart still did not ease in any way, which made him even more depressed.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the big tent and have a good sleep, and then make plans after waking up.
But as soon as he walked away, herdsmen in tattered clothes began to appear on the back, quietly walking into the royal court.
Amul left, but his soldiers didn't take it seriously. After all, this was the royal court of the Huns.
Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of troops blocking the front. They say they are guarding the Royal Court, but in fact they are just eating, drinking and having fun in the Royal Court.
Compared with those desperate errands, their errands are indeed much better. Not only do you not need to work hard, but you can also eat, drink and have fun every day.
When it is done, there will be a great achievement. This is really a good job that you can't ask for.
Especially in this weather, the heavy snow has stopped, and the days on the grassland have begun to become more leisurely.
Herdsmen no longer need to think about going out to herd sheep. It is enough to feed the sheep a fixed amount of hay and beans every day.
Except for the fixed guard time every day, during the rest of the time, they can go to any tent at will.
After all, the most indispensable thing around the royal court at this time is women.
Of course, as for whether it can be a good thing, it depends on your own ability.
"These Huns are too lax. After all, this is a royal court. There are only a few people here. Are they seeking death?"
After the two Han army scouts walked back and forth in the Huns' royal court for several times, as if they were in no one's land, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Compared with the defense of Dragon City, the defense here is actually more lax.
Although there are indeed many Hun soldiers stationed in the city, at this time, some of these guys have left their posts without permission, and some are secretly sitting aside to sleep. These guys are really the best in the world.
"I said, why don't we go around again and have a look? Why do I feel that something is not right? These Huns are probably acting with us!"
The two Han army scouts, even though they had walked around the city several times, still couldn't form a unified opinion. After all, the situation here was too weird.
"We've already gone up and down several times. If we delay any longer, it will be extremely dark!"
"Then you have to see clearly before talking, let's go!"
The two of them were walking around, usually circling back and forth in the royal court, but the Huns soldiers didn't notice anything.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark, and all the soldiers were huddled in the nearby tents, drinking heavily and eating meat.
This life was really satisfying, but just as they were drinking and eating meat, hundreds of scouts came into the royal court.
"Your Majesty, if you don't take what God has given you, you will be blamed for it. I think we don't have to hesitate anymore. This is clearly the result of the Huns who brought it to our door!"
After hearing the scout's report, He Junan couldn't help it. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Tell the brothers to let the scouts sneak in first. When the fire breaks out in the city, we will get closer!"
Liu Deng didn't expect that he had succeeded in a sneak attack in Longcheng, and now the defense in Wangting was still so lax.
He was really speechless at the stubbornness of these Huns.
"promise!"
Seeing Liu Deng finally relenting, Zou Yang immediately became excited.
The night on the grassland is exceptionally quiet. Apart from the howling wind, the only sound left is the neighing of cattle and horses.
When not fighting, the Huns' habit was to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
Especially at this time, basically all the Huns will no longer go out when it is dark.
Even the most diligent herdsmen will stay at home after checking the livestock sheds at night, eating mutton and drinking kumiss.
This is the case for ordinary herdsmen, not to mention the Hun nobles who stayed in the royal court.
Basically at night, their life consists only of drinking, eating and enjoying the beautiful slave girls.
"Water leaked? That's bad, come and put out the fire!"
Amul, who had been restless all day, was just about to enjoy a few female slaves from the Western Region when he suddenly heard a panic sound coming from outside.
Amul's whole body was filled with excitement, and he immediately sat up, quickly put on his clothes and walked out immediately.
After all, there are tents everywhere near the royal court, and hay collected by herders for winter is everywhere.
Coupled with this damn windy weather, if the fire cannot be controlled, something big will happen!
"Mom, I've been telling you all day to be careful with fire, you bastards, but you're still disobedient and why don't you hurry up and put out the fire for me!"
