Helanxiong stood in a pool of blood all over the ground, his face turned pale. This was a village of a small Xiongnu tribe, with about a hundred families, but now, there is nothing except the ashes and corpses all over the ground.

Since the Huns have been living a lofty life, their lives have improved day by day. A large number of Huns chose to settle around major cities in Han Dynasty such as Jishi City and Dayan City. In this way, while they were engaged in traditional animal husbandry, they could also learn some farming techniques from the Han people. The local governments of Han Dynasty often sent some experienced old farmers to teach farming techniques, which allowed these Huns to slowly get rid of the single lifestyle.

Around these cities, the government has designated pastures and implemented annual pasture rest to ensure the long-term development of these herdsmen. In life around the city, the herdsmen's livestock, dairy products, and fur can also be sold directly to the city's stores quickly and conveniently, reducing the intermediate links, so that they can get greater benefits. Of course, in addition to these benefits, if the herdsmen have extra labor in their homes, they can also go to the city to take jobs. The city can always provide well-paid work. Compared with Hanmin, these Xiongnu people who entered the city to take jobs have lower prices and work harder, which is favored by merchants of all sizes and big cities.

The tribe that was destroyed by the Qin army today obviously does not belong to this category. They still maintain the traditional lifestyle. On the ruins, the remains of the livestock can still be distinguished. Naturally, there is no one left in it.

"Commander, I found a survivor!" Helanjie ran over, "It's a pity that he died again without saying a few words. His injury was too serious."

Helanxiong, who had just heard the light in his eyes, quickly dimmed. If there is another person in a tribe, then with his own help, this tribe can still survive, but now, I am afraid that this tribe will be submerged in the dust of history again.

"It's that tribe." Helanxiong asked in a low voice. The place had been robbed completely, and the rest had been burned to ruins. Even Helanxiong could not tell which tribe it was.

"It was the head of the Guoluo tribe and their clan who was unwilling to live around the city. He brought his ethnic group and still lived a traditional grazing life. This time, he received a warning and did not attract people's attention and did not retreat to Jishi City. This time, he was in trouble. The man said that there were more than 500 people in the clan, and none of them were left. All of them were killed. Livestock, food, and all valuable things were stolen." Helanjie said

"Which Qin army is it, how many people are there?" A raging anger flashed in Helanxiong's eyes.

"It is a mixed Qin army of about a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. Our scouts have found their progress. Now they are advancing along the Siyang River toward Jishi City."

"Why are there only more than 3,000 people?" Helanxiong asked

"Following the Qin army's formation, I'm afraid they sent a large number of such troops to sweep the grasslands and rob livestock and food. You should know that the Qin army's food route was too long, and Li Xin was afraid that he would fight to support the war."

"Fight to fight!" Helanxiong snorted. As a general from the Huns, he naturally knew the bloody decision under the so-called "Fight to fight to fight" decision

"Send our scouts to warn all the Xiongnu tribes who have not retreated to Jishi City. Don't have any illusions. The Qin people decided to burn them all, kill them all, and grab them all. Now it is too late for them to retreat to Jishi City. I suggest that they immediately lose all the things they can escape to Hetao, and save them first." Helanxiong ordered

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Helanjie agreed to turn and leave

"Hao Lianpo!" Helanxiong shouted loudly.

"Commander, the last general is here." Hao Lianpo ran over in a flash.

"Send a scout to find where this Qin army is now. I want to repay blood with blood!" Helanxiong said murderously intently.

By the Siyang River, Li Xin lifted a handful of clear water and poured it on his face, feeling the coolness, and sighed: "What a great place. We had the opportunity to completely occupy this land, but for one reason or another, it was the price of this kid Gao Yuan, which made him a great foundation and became the biggest enemy of my Great Qin."

"Now his good days are over. When the general took out his sword, the Huns were destroyed. Now the general drew his sword again. How can he just Gao Yuan stop the general's troops!" Beside him, the general Dan Yu smiled.

Li Xin shook his head, "Today is different from the past. Although the Huns had royal courts, the major tribes were actually doing their own things, which gave us the opportunity to defeat them. Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is unified and the government is smooth. With a command, the whole country should not obey this mobilization ability. In this world, except for our Qin, there is only the Han Dynasty. Gao Yuan is our strongest enemy. Otherwise, the king would not give up the opportunity to destroy Zhao in one fell swoop. Instead, he would rather go to the near and far. He must first defeat the Han Dynasty!"

"This is exactly what I don't understand." But Yu humbly asked for advice: "General, the 100,000 elite troops of Zhao were destroyed by our country. Now Zhao is a time of weakness. Such a great opportunity. If it is not used, wouldn't it be too wasteful? Zhao is a big country after all. If they are given time and they are restored to their vitality, wouldn't it take another big effort in the future?"

Li Xin laughed, "This is the wisest thing of the king. Zhao State is big and strong, but compared to the threats the Han State has against us, it is really not worth mentioning. Zhao State is now the head of Zhao State. Zhao Qi is short-sighted, good at small conspiracies and lacks great wisdom. It is simply a mess in the layout of the big strategy. Such a person is in charge of Zhao State. What we need to do now is to help Zhao Qi maintain his rule in Zhao State. This time he was defeated by our country. Zhao Qi's position is already in danger. Zhao Wuji is also extremely dissatisfied with him. In order to maintain his position and save his life, Zhao Qi is afraid that he will start a big kill again. He will kill more.

More people will oppose him in the country, and the more opportunities we will have to intervene. Can such a country still make us worry sooner or later, but the Han Dynasty is different. Han soldiers are good at fighting. You know, but what makes the king even more worried is that the economic development of Han Dynasty has been soaring in the past few years, and its economic strength has surpassed our country. What is more worrying is that Gao Yuan has a very good reputation in Han Dynasty. Do you know the debt volume he issued? Just a white note can raise huge wealth among the people in the blink of an eye. But rain, do you think if our country imitates this trick, will it be effective?

But Yu frowned and thought for a while, "General, I am afraid that the rich are not willing to buy them, and there are people behind them who cannot force them, and others are afraid that they have no money to buy them."

"That's right!" Li Xin nodded and said, "The king was worried that the longer the time, the Han Dynasty would become stronger and stronger, and we could not raise our heads on the economy. In the end, the battle was just about money. A knife, a bow, and a pair of armor had to be bought with silver. A horse and a soldier would have to spend money every year. The Han Dynasty became richer and richer, and they would use more money to equip more troops. In less than ten years, Gao Yuan had grown from a county lieutenant with about one hundred people to hundreds of thousands of troops now. If he was given ten years, wouldn't he be equipped with millions of troops?"

"With the order from our king, we can also summon million troops," Dan Yu said

Li Xin glanced at Danyu, "The number of one million troops and one million troops sounds the same, but sometimes the difference between them is huge. I don't think that at that time, our million troops can be compared with the million troops of the Han army. And if there is really a day, as long as the war is delayed a little longer, I, the Qin Dynasty, will be dragged down by Gao Yuan over the years, have been avoiding large-scale conflicts with our country. So why is his mind very clear? He just made this idea and he wants to drag us down."

"Why can't we follow his lofty people's livelihood policy?" But Yu said with some worries: "It's not a secret that lofty economy, people's livelihood, politics and economics."

"It's easy to say, it's hard to do it!" Li Xin shook his head and said, "If we copy this set of Gao Yuan's implementation, I'm afraid that the economy and people's livelihood have not yet developed, the country will be in chaos. Gao Yuan's Han Dynasty strictly prohibits land annexation. His ministers and generals, each person's land shall not exceed 1,000 acres. He regards land as a reward for the military achievements of the soldiers. He distributes the land to the people free of charge, and the taxes collected are extremely low. He can do this because he is a new regime. He is a country established on a mess with nothing. The original structure of power has been cleaned up in the war, so he has no resistance to doing it. But our country has been established for hundreds of years, and the domestic forces are mixed. If you really want to talk about it, do you know who the largest landlord in our country is?"

But Yu opened his mouth, and a few people flashed through his mind. He shook his head. He really couldn't tell who was more.

"The biggest landlord in our country is the royal family!" Li Xin sighed, "Do you want the king to take his life?"

But the rain opened her mouth wide enough to stuff a duck egg into it

"But this battle is not easy to fight!" But Yu scratched his head, "If Helanxiong was blocked in Dai County, it would be much easier to deal with. He let him escape to the grassland, but the fish return to the sea and the birds fly to the sky. It would be even more difficult to catch him again. His infantry is accelerating the retreat to Jishi City. At that time, it will be even more difficult for us to attack Jishi City. I looked at the construction map of Jishi City brought by Black Ice Platform. To be honest, I have not figured out any effective method of siege until now."

"When you are in war, there is no sure thing. In short, it's more to win and less to lose!" Li Xin laughed, "Helanxiong escaped, but he may not be able to catch it" (To be continued)
