More than 800,000 cattle and sheep were seized. Even if Zhou Yi had 100,000 troops here, it would be difficult for Zhou Yi to dispose of these cattle and sheep in a short while.
It is naturally impossible for Zhou Yi to stay in the Xiongnu court for a long time because of these cattle and sheep.
If the encirclement of the Xiongnu Wuwan Chanyu was delayed because of these cattle and sheep, it might cause Lin Zhenyuan's army on the eastern front to fall into irreversible danger.
For this reason, Zhou Yi could only abandon these cattle and sheep, and only led the 130,000 horses captured from the remaining military horse farms of the Xiongnu to rush to the north and south lines to attack Karasuma Shanyu from head to tail.
Since I have to give up these cattle and sheep, I simply use my own name to express the generosity of others and give all these cattle and sheep to the poor herders on the grassland.
The world is always cruel, especially on this grassland with a tragic living environment. The poor herdsmen are like duckweeds and weeds, and their lives cannot be more miserable. If you want to survive, you must follow the natural law of the jungle.
Their quality of life is far inferior to that of the people in the Central Plains whose main occupation is farming. The vast majority of herdsmen are hungry all year round, and it is common for them to go hungry for three days after a meal.
Especially when snow falls on the grassland and winter begins, their life becomes even more difficult. It is often found that large tribes and small tribes are at odds with each other.
There is no doubt that the result was that the small tribes were unilaterally crushed, and their few cattle, sheep, and women were eventually snatched away by the larger tribes.
Those men in the weak tribe who resisted could only die in humiliation due to defeat.
If the Huns knew that the corvees working under Zhou Yi to build the Great Wall could eat three meals a day of refined grain rice and mustard, it would be guaranteed that basically all the people on the grassland would go to Zhou Yi to build the Great Wall.
This is one of the reasons why no one from the Xiongnu and Khitan troops wanted to return to the grassland after surrendering to Zhou Yi.
Now there is a Heavenly Khan who is even more powerful than the Great Khan of the Huns, Karasuma Chanyu.
Not only did they conquer the royal court of Wuwan Shanyu, but they also robbed his cattle, sheep and horses.
More importantly, the kindness of this Khan is clearer and brighter than the water of the holy lake.
Tian Khan was willing to distribute his spoils to these poor herdsmen. This kind of compassion and kindness were unheard of and unseen by any herdsmen on the grassland.
Countless poor herdsmen who have obtained cattle, sheep and horses sincerely hope that this grassland will be ruled by this Khan in the future, and sincerely wish this Khan long life.
Zhou Yi called this distribution of cattle and sheep the first operation on the grassland to crack down on local tyrants to distribute cattle and sheep. This operation successfully rescued countless poor herdsmen who were enslaved by Karasuma Chanyu.
This also laid a solid foundation for Zhou Yi to successfully rule the Xiongnu prairie in the future.
Anyway, these 800,000 cattle, sheep and livestock are not his own, so Zhou Yi did not feel any pain when giving them to him. Instead, he could feel the sense of accomplishment and pride that his ancestors felt when they divided the land among the local tyrants.
Returning to the Eastern Front, Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde were discovered by Attila after burning part of the Huns' army's baggage, and sent several groups to chase them.
Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde were really in a panic and could only flee randomly.
More than half of the dozen comrades who were originally gathered together on the road were killed or injured in the pursuit. Now, including Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde, only six people in total survived.
And now every one of them is injured. If everyone hadn't been given a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, some of them might not have been able to last this long.
After escaping the pursuit of a group of Huns, Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde led the remaining four people into a small hill. I hope those people don't find me, and I and the others can have a good night's rest on this hill tonight.
Even for a fierce man like Chi Jingde, this period of running made him very tired.
Fortunately, perhaps God opened his eyes, and the Huns who were searching and chasing Chi Jingde and his group did not come to this hill.
This night they could barely get a solid and peaceful sleep.
The next morning, Swen Tai was lucky enough to hunt an antelope nearby.
During the period of fleeing, they had used up all the dry food they had with them. Now they have hunted an antelope, which can give the six of them some energy.
After eating, Shi Wentai looked at the sun in the sky, trying to identify the direction.
At this time, the people hiding in the hill discovered smoke and dust rising from the northwest. Apparently, a large number of people were coming from that direction.
And judging from the smoke and dust raised, there were many people and horses, at least tens of thousands of people.
Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde couldn't help but feel a little thumped in their hearts.
The northwest direction is the home base of the Xiongnu Karasuma Chanyu and their brothers. In the opinion of the two of them, 80% of the reinforcements coming from that direction are the Xiongnu Karasuma Chanyu.
Previously, it was difficult enough for Karasuma Shanyu to fight with more than 400,000 troops. Now that a group of reinforcements have arrived, wouldn't it be even worse for the mighty guards?
Therefore, Shi Wentai and Chi Jingde felt extremely anxious at the moment.
"Wentai, my brothers and I are here to snipe their reinforcement leader. You should hurry up and go back and inform General Lin of the arrival of the Huns' reinforcements." Chi Jingde said firmly to Shi Wentai.
Shi Wentai firmly opposed this: "You are good at riding, so you should take this news back to the mighty guard and tell General Lin! I will stay here and shoot their leader!"
Chi Jingde snatched Shi Wentai's bow and said forcefully: "What our mighty guards lack most is a killer who is not afraid of death. What we lack most is a general like you who is both civil and military."
"You are the most educated among these brothers, and you have a wife and children at home, so you can't die here!"
The other four people also agreed with Chi Jingde and asked Shi Wentai to leave first.
Shi Wentai had no choice but to agree with tears. The moment he got on the horse, he felt extremely reluctant to give up.
"Wen Tai, promise me, if I die in the battle, help me take care of my mother! I heard that our mighty guards still have a lot of pensions. That money should be enough for my mother to live in peace in her old age!"
Shi Wentai, who was standing on the horse, said with tears in his eyes and his eyes were red: "Fart, you kid, good people don't live long, and the harm will last for thousands of years."
"When you lead your brothers to kill their reinforcement commander, you must come and join me!"
All of them knew that what Shi Wentai said was a foolish dream, but at this moment no one broke this beautiful vision.
Chi Jingde and the other four soldiers of the Mighty Guard laughed and said together: "Okay, the reinforcement commander will definitely catch up with you after we kill them!"
Shi Wentai still refused to give up. Chi Jingde stepped forward and slapped the horse's butt hard. The horse carried Shi Wentai and ran towards the south like it was flying in pain.
After seeing his friend leave, Chi Jingde turned to the northwest.
