Forty miles southwest of Anhan City - the base camp, the Qiang soldiers who suffered heavy casualties retreated one after another, without crying or grieving, and even had no time to take a rest, because there were more important things - eating!
As the saying goes: People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don¡¯t eat one meal, you will feel hungry. What will it be like if you don¡¯t have food for seven or eight days in a row?
"Roar!¡ª¡ªßÔ!ßÔ!"
"Get out of the way! - grab the meat and eat itgo to hell!"
A wounded horse was brought over. Several Qiang soldiers rushed forward and pressed him down. They first slit its throat with daggers and drank the blood like hungry wolves. Then they dismembered the dead horse and threw it into the stolen horse. Cook in a large pot.
More Qiang soldiers gathered around, all staring at the meat in the pot. As soon as the water started to foam, they couldn't wait to take action. They fought for it, refused to give in to each other, and even fought with each other, and then used weapons. !
Hunger turns people into wild beasts. Instead of respecting the old and caring for the young, only the weak eat the strong. The strong ones grab the half-cooked horse meat and wolf it down. The weak ones have no choice but to eat the horse skin, horse intestines, or drink the meat. Soup!
Some wounded soldiers couldn't even drink the broth, so they could only pick up the bones left by others, smash them and suck the marrow inside As a result, after the meal, five people died next to the iron pot, and three of them fought for food. And to die, one of them starved to death because he didn't get enough, and the other died of starvation after eating too much!
When the nomadic tribes send troops, they never bring food and grass with them. Instead, they go wherever they go and eat wherever they go, relying on looting to solve the problem of food. However, since the invasion of Han Dynasty, the war has not gone smoothly. The supplies they grabbed are limited, and the food is even more difficult. not enough.
Because of the strong character of the Han army, whenever a city was lost, they would often smash everything and set off a huge fire to burn it all. Not a grain of rice or a piece of cloth was left to the Qiang soldiers. This is called "fighting the enemy with scorched earth" , both jade and stone will be destroyed! ¡¯
The Qiang soldiers had long been out of food. In order to fill their hungry bellies, they could only dig mouse holes, shoot birds, catch river fish dig grass roots, peel off tree bark, and swallowed everything they could eat, and even appeared. About cannibalism.
The situation was so bad that the upper-class people could no longer remain indifferent. After nightfall, the chiefs of various ministries gathered together to discuss how to obtain food and how to lead the Qiang people out of the predicament!
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
"The weather is getting colder and colder. In about a month, heavy snow will fall on the plateau. If we can't get food and clothing, many people in various tribes will starve to death!"
"But the Han city in front of us is as solid as a mountain. We have killed countless warriors and failed to break through its walls. The Zhelan tribe has sent troops to help the Han people again. What should we do?"
"Chief Yak, your head is really stupider than that of a yak. ??The wolves on the grassland will not entangle a prey. Since there is no harvest here, let's move to another place!"
"Longyou, Jincheng, Zhangye, Jiuquan there are always weak points, or can we send our troops south and plunder Shu County?"
On the blazing bonfire of the Chinese army's tent, there was an extra-large cast iron pot. Inside was horse meat that was tumbling up and down. It was already about 70% cooked. It also contained refined salt, scallions, garlic, and ginger from the Han Dynasty. A condiment that exudes an alluring fragrance!
After the horse meat was cooked, the maids fished it out and served it to the chiefs sitting here together with the stolen Han wine. No matter when the time comes, nobles are nobles and slaves are slaves!
"Eat meat, it's so delicious Gudu! Gudu!"
"The fine wine of the Han family is so fragrant, you can even get drunk to death - haha!"
Among the tribal chiefs, there are also distinctions between high and low. The three tribes of Yak, Baima and Shaodang are the strongest. Therefore, the three chiefs sit in the middle, and dozens of little chiefs sit around them, all of them are strong young men. , not even an old person can see it!
The environment in the southwest region is even worse than that in Mobei. Black disasters, white disasters, wind disasters, and droughts occur one after another. Only the strongest people can survive. The old, weak, sick, and disabled will be ruthlessly eliminated. Even the nobles will be eliminated. No exception!
The mission of a noble chief is to lead his subjects to fight for pastures, rivers, cattle and sheep, and to plunder Han lands. Fighting in battle is commonplace, and death and injury are also common!
If a chief is seriously injured, or old and infirm, and is no longer able to lead troops in battles, he will be replaced by his sons, brothers, and nephews. The process is often bloody, just like changing the leader of a pack of wolves. !
For example, the old chief of the Mustang tribe was sitting in the big tent yesterday to discuss matters, but he disappeared today and was replaced by one of his sons. As for the whereabouts of the old chief, no one asked or cared about it, but there was one thingI have chosen to forget that robbery is the nature of nomads. There is a proverb on the grassland: "When there is nothing more to rob, I don't mind robbing my own brother. Even my brothers can rob, let alone an ordinary ally!"
"For the information to the great chiefs, the Han people are coming, right outside the camp gate!"
¡¡¡¡
"What, the Han people are coming to kill them. How many troops are there? Are they bloodthirsty demons?"
"Hurry up and organize your troops to fight Fuck it, don't organize yourself. Let everyone run for their own business. Whoever escapes will be lucky!"
A Qiang soldier ran into the tent and what he reported shocked the chiefs. Some people pulled out their scimitars and prepared to fight to the death. More people rolled and crawled and chose to escape!
"There is no need to panic, chiefs. This person is not a Han army, but a Han envoy. He also brought many gifts and said he wanted to pay homage to all the chiefs!"
¡°Didn¡¯t the Han family¡¯s envoy bring any troops?¡±
"There are no soldiers and horses, only some civilians driving carts. They don't carry weapons, and there are no soldiers and horses following behind!"
Realizing that there was a mistake in his words, the Qiang soldiers quickly explained and used their own heads to guarantee that the rangers had been sent for dozens of miles, but not a single Han soldier was seen Finally, they presented a gift list!
It turned out to be a false alarm. The chiefs calmed down and felt a little embarrassed. They smiled mockingly at each other and turned their attention to Chief Shaodang, because many of the people sitting here could speak Chinese. , he is the only one who knows Chinese characters!
"Zhang Su, the chief administrator of Hanwen City, asked to see the chiefs of the Qiang tribes and brought gifts: thirty carts of grain, five carts of bacon, five carts of fine wine, and a thousand cattle, sheep, pigsall kinds of miscellaneous animals!
This is even more strange. The Han army clearly had the upper hand, so why did they send envoys without bringing any soldiers, but instead sent a lot of supplies? Isn't this a fat sheep breaking into a wolf's den?
