Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 353 The cause of poverty

  The Hu people left, leaving behind a mess all over the place.

  The bodies of the Hu people were dug a hole and buried.

  The horses of the Hu people were skinned and eaten.

   It's not that they don't want to save the horses, but that they are either dead or seriously injured. According to the conditions of the Han Dynasty, it is difficult to treat them. It is better to simply give these creatures a good time.

  Horse meat is not good at all, especially in this age when spices are as expensive as gold.

Only now does Fei Qian know that when horse meat is cooked, there will be an indescribable stench, as if the forage that has been deposited for many years is suddenly turned over, and it is like the smell that is deposited in the green ditch in the dark ditch. Gotta smell on the blackened water…

  Boiled horse meat, real boiled, no chili, no pepper, no cinnamon, tangerine peel, star anise, etc., only water. The fiber of horse meat is thicker than that of beef, and it is harder. Biting it is like gnawing on thin wood. Besides the roughness, it also has the sour taste of unripe fruit. If it was cut from a corpse, most people would think that the meat had already rotted.

  Fei Qian bit the bullet and ate a bowl, then refused the offer to add more. Eating a bowl means that I am the same as everyone else and do not do anything special, but if I eat another bowl, I will find myself guilty.

  In addition to the corpses of more than 30 Hu people and this unpalatable horse meat, the other gifts left by the Hu people are not so gratifying.

During the process of the Nahu people shooting around the camp, a total of more than 50 people were injured to varying degrees. Among them, more than 20 people were shot at vital parts such as the head or torso because they did not hide well. died, and the remaining 30 people suffered injuries to varying degrees, and stayed behind to nourish their wounds.

  The casualties seem, as if, should, probably be better than the Hu people?

But don't forget, this is under the cover of a shield and a wooden wall. Moreover, the Hu people have only one direction of attack. There is no way to go around the camp like they attacked other camps before, and look for the camp while wandering. flaw…

   Only the cavalry can defeat the cavalry, not the camp. The barbarian fights whenever he wants, and leaves whenever he wants. Fei Qian has nothing to do, at least not now.

   "We seem to have won, but in fact... we lost." Fei Qian looked at everyone and said, "But we still have to tell the recruits that we won."

  Although the words are tricky, everyone can understand the meaning.

   Fortunately, the Southern Huns obviously didn't want to lose too many troops, so they finally retreated voluntarily. Otherwise, if the fight really goes on, the final loser should be Feiqian himself.

   Fortunately, the Hu people are very poor, at least this group of Southern Huns are not rich.

   Poor is not only population, but also weapons.

  Fitting his gaze on the table in front of him, he said, "Fortunately, the Hu people are poor, otherwise we would have died even more."

On the table, there are two arrows, one is white feathers, the tail feathers are of the same thickness, very neatly trimmed, the shafts are well-proportioned, and the pointed triangular flat arrows are shining coldly; the other arrow is made of miscellaneous feathers, the thickness There are some unevenness and some messiness. The shaft of the arrow is obviously thinner and shorter. Although the arrow is also sharp, it leaves a lot of traces of polishing, as if it was polished after being rusted, and then polished again after rusting. And formed.

  White Feather was shot by the barbarian who was the first to conduct range-finding and calibration shooting, while Zayu's was randomly taken from the arrows thrown by the barbarians later.

Arrows are the most common consumables, but they are also the most important consumables. The weight and length of an arrow will affect the accuracy and distance of shooting. Baiyu's arrows are the same as the military products of the Han army, but Miscellaneous feathers are obviously defective products.

"Have you ever thought about why the barbarians would come and plunder us Han people again and again? Why would the Xiongnu who used to be attached to the south, whether it was the Eastern Qiang, rebel again and again?" Fei Qian asked Da. Everyone in the tent.

  Huang Cheng thought for a while, then shook his head. He grew up in Jingxiang, and this is his first contact with Hu people. He has no idea about this issue.

   Fei Qian smiled slightly and looked at Mayan.

  Ma Yan said in a deep voice: "Hu people are barbaric and greedy. They don't know etiquette. They only believe in strength. They are cruel and easy to kill."

   Feiqian nodded. This concept is impartial, and it is what the vast majority of Han people think, and it is also a characteristic of the Hu people.

  Du Yuan raised his head, glanced at Fei Qian, and wanted to say something, but then glanced at Ma Yan, hesitated, and finally closed his mouth without speaking.

Since Du Yuan didn't want to talk about it, Fei Qian didn't force him to ask any more, but said: "In the land of Bingzhou, both literature and martial arts are flourishing." Han Xing, the son of a good family from the six counties was elected to Habayashi and Qimen. There are many famous generals. Since the beginning of the struggle between Qin and Zhao, Xia Zheng was initiated, and Rong Suo was the leader of the border, and he was also the leader of the military strategist. The three elders of Huguan, Linghu Mao, Daijun Feng Tang, and Taiyuan Changhui were originally from Bingzhou. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were more than one million households in Bingzhou, nearly 100,000 soldiers in the county, three arsenals, Shangjun warehouse, Yuyang warehouse, Beidi warehouse, and twelve Yanchi. Kucha and Kucha each have abundant water and grass, suitable for farming and animal husbandry, but now they are so corrupted, why?”

   Fei Qian didn't wait for Huang Cheng and others to answer, because he knew that even if he stayed in Bingzhou for a long time, the older Ma Yan didn't care about the history of Bingzhou, so naturally he couldn't come up with an explanation for these things.

"Guangwu Zhongxing used soldiers from You, Ji, and Bingzhou to control the world..." Fei Qian paused, and then said, "...It's a pity to rule the world, but it can't rule the world...The two queens before and after Guangwu, one is the real Guo The queen, one is the Yin queen of Nanyang..."

  Everyone has a little understanding.

  Fei Qian continued:

   "In the sixth year of Jianwu, moved to Yunzhong, Wuyuan to Changshan..."

   "In the ninth year of Jianwu, Yanmen was moved to Taiyuan..."

   "Jianwu ten years, moved to Dingxiang to Xihe..."

   "In the fifteenth year of Jianwu, moved to Yanmen, Daijun, Shanggu to Juyongguan..."

   "In the 20th year of Jianwu, Wuyuan was moved to Hedong..."

   "In the eighth year of Yongping, the capital officials of Fajun Guozhong were sentenced to death in Shuofang and Wuyuan..."

   "In the 16th year of Yongping, Zaifa county and state officials were sentenced to death in Shuofang and Dunhuang..."

   It is written in the history books to prevent the Hu people from encroaching on the border, and to protect the safety of the border residents, but in fact? The border residents who could provide money and food were removed, but some criminals and prisoners were added. Is this behavior to protect the border county, or to cede the border county?

  During the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, horses stepped on Yinshan Mountain, and the Hu people were frightened out of their wits when they heard the sound of the hooves of the Han riders, but now they have invaded the border again. Could it be that the Hu people have become stronger?

  There was a saying in later generations, it seems to be said that a Chinese person is a dragon, and a group of Chinese people is a nest of worms...

   Although the author does not agree with this sentence, but this phenomenon does exist, and it is still very common...
