King Aries took a deep breath, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and then ordered his soldiers to find a place to rest.
In order not to attract the attention of the Han people, they did not even dare to set up tents and could only lie on the damp grass.
After finally surviving until dark, the two confidants of the Aries King quietly groped away from the two iron ropes towards the other side of the Yellow River.
Seeing their figures disappearing into the night, the Aries King was filled with contradictions.
In the past, he was full of disgust towards the witch doctors in the tribe because they took away their rights.
Because of this, he even lacked the most basic respect for the gods believed by the Huns.
But now, he had begun to pray silently in his heart to all the gods he knew.
"Your Majesty, they seem to be back!"
Until the third watch, when the Aries King almost fell asleep, a guard beside him suddenly whispered.
"Go to the river and prepare to meet us!"
Looking at the vague figure on the Yellow River, King Aries trembled in his heart.
If they can bring back something useful, it will really be a blessing from the gods.
I don’t know if it was because he was lucky or because he was too pious when praying.
So much so that the passing god suddenly waved his hand and completely fulfilled his wish.
"Your Majesty, these are the pieces we stole from their construction site!"
Half an hour later, two disgraced soldiers ran back with two pieces of gravel-like objects.
"Is this what they used to build the wall?"
Looking at the gray-white color and the bamboo tendons exposed from inside, the Aries King asked with some confusion.
"Yes, this is what they used, and I even cut it with the scimitar in my hand! But you'd better see for yourself!"
As the soldier spoke, he pulled out his scimitar and handed it to the Aries King.
After taking the scimitar in his hand, the Aries King quickly discovered a big gap in it.
The reason why they cannot compare with Yi Zhixie in terms of military strength is because the weapons they use are basically still in the crude stage.
However, even though the facts are already in front of him, King Aries still doesn't want to believe it.
After hesitating for a moment, he immediately waved the scimitar in his hand and used all his strength to slash at the gray-white thing.
"Dang-cang-"
With a crisp sound, the scimitar in the Aries King's hand was completely broken into two halves.
"this……"
Looking at the scimitar that was broken into two parts, the Aries King's body shook for a while.
Originally there was still a little bit of hesitation in his heart, but now the last bit of hesitation is gone. This thing is what the Han people used to build Shuofang City.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The Aries King suddenly seemed to have aged ten years, and his whole body could not help but sway, as if he were an old man in his dying years.
The soldiers beside him quickly reached out to support the Aries King, thus preventing him from falling.
"Take these two things and let's go!"
After a long time, the Aries King finally let out a long breath. There was no need to go any further or risk crossing the river.
The Han people can build a fort, and they can also build a city. At this time, they only need to use less than a thousand people. According to the current progress, they can build such a fort in less than two months. .
In a year at most, or even sooner, this winter, three Han cities and seventy-five forts will be densely populated on the other side of the Yellow River.
At that time, the Han people will strategically reach a point where they can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and they will completely lose the initiative in the war.
As a result, they entered a situation where they could only defend and be attacked passively. The Han people did not even need to attack them at all. They only needed to maintain an offensive posture every spring and summer.
They had to concentrate their troops when the livestock were fat. If the horses could not store enough fat in the autumn, their bodies would be even thinner in the winter.
In a year or two at most, a large number of war horses on the Xiongnu grasslands will die. Without the horses, will the Huns cavalry still be cavalry?
Moreover, because the soldiers were forced to gather together.
It will also cause a large number of livestock to die or become sick due to lack of management.
After all, many jobs on the grassland are beyond the capabilities of ordinary women.
Tribes without enough strong labor will eventually disappear on the grasslands.
No matter what the situation is, it is now a matter of life and death for the Huns...
"Sir, it's almost the tenth day, why hasn't there been any movement? The strangest thing is that the Hunxie King, this old boy sent so many people here in a menacing manner. After we killed them all, he actually Isn’t it a little weird that there’s no reaction at all?”
Looking at the big sun above his head, Shunzi looked at Cao Wei with some confusion and asked.
"I said, what are you so anxious about? I'm not even anxious. Why are you anxious?"
Cao Wei glared at him angrily. This kid had been mumbling since two days ago.
Now he seriously suspected that the reason why Liu Deng promoted this guy was not because he was loyal, but because he was actually a chatterbox.
"Don't I feel confident? Anyway, I have nothing to do. Why don't you tell me?"
After getting along with each other for the past few days, Shunzi actually already understood Cao Wei's temper very well.
Although he is born with a serious face, this guy actually has a donkey temper. As long as he smoothes his hair and makes this man feel comfortable, he will basically do anything you ask him to do.
"Okay, but this teaching can't be in vain. Others don't know it, but I know it. Those of you who are around His Highness the King are all damn rich! After you return to Chang'an, you kid I should be able to get a part-time official position, at least you have to invite me to Chunfeng Tower once, right?"
As Cao Wei spoke, he winked at Shunzi.
"No problem! As long as you are happy, you can go every day!"
Cao Wei is a real official of the imperial court, and to be appreciated by him is actually a rare thing for Shunzi. As for spending some money, does that count?
After being with Liu Deng for so long, he didn't learn anything else, but he still learned something about how to make money.
"It's better for you to be cheerful, come on, come on, I'll tell you all about the twists and turns here!"
