Hanbo

Chapter 156 The Living Treasure Gongsun Ao
By the way, there are also those Han people who returned from the Huns, and it is estimated that they will also move to that area.

25 Han Chinese are enough to enrich the two counties of Dunhuang and Jiuquan, although they are still sparsely populated.

But in this era, where is the land sparsely populated?

The Xiongnu had 25 Han Chinese, who had been captured in the past 50 years.

For example, the population brought by Han Wangxin in the early Western Han Dynasty is basically exactly the same as the Huns because of intermarriage and the passage of time.

They can't even speak Chinese well or even can't speak, how can they be said to be Han Chinese?
As for Lieutenant Zuo, his life is much easier. Lao Liu will probably give him a title of Marquis or something, and let him continue to lead his tribe.

Compared with living in the Huns, I don't know how much better life is!
As for their destination, Huo Shan also wanted to take them to the Western Regions.

When the two ministries are added together, there are almost exactly one hundred thousand people and [-] soldiers and horses.

As for taking them to the Western Regions, whether they will rebel, Huo Shan has never considered this issue so far.

In this era, it is estimated that if they are asked to rebel, they will not rebel!
.........

On June [-]th, the army was still three hundred miles away from the nearest Shuofang, Wuyuan was nearly four hundred miles away, and Yunzhong was five hundred miles away!
Huo Shan finally saw a familiar figure, in front of him was the soldiers and horses of Shuofang Captain's Department.

Huo Shan couldn't help sighing:
"Half a year, it's really not easy, it's finally here."

Huo Shan looked behind him, there were endless people, cattle, sheep and horses.

There are 8000 soldiers and horses. It used to be more than [-]. With the soldiers and horses of Zuo Daduwei, it is now more than [-].

There are still about 15 people in Zuo Daduwei's department. The first batch of 22 Han people returned by the Xiongnu made a total of [-] people. That's all.

4000 people went out, and 22 people returned, not to mention the [-] or so sent back in advance.

In terms of horses, less than 34 horses have entered the grassland. Look at the present, [-].

Originally, the headquarters was 12, but after leaving Shan Yuting, they gave 34, and then other ministries successively gave [-] along the way, Zuo Dawei's [-], plus [-] in tribute, a total of [-].

Of the 34, except for the [-] unsuitable for Zuo Daduwei's department, the rest are all young horses.

In terms of compensation, another [-] from the Xiongnu would be enough.

In terms of cattle and sheep, 18 belonged to Zuo Daduwei's department, 20 belonged to the headquarters, and 41 were sent by various departments on the road, a total of [-].

The compensation for the Huns' cattle and sheep was still 40 yuan short.

With so many living creatures gathered together, even the words boundless cannot describe this scene.

Huo Shan didn't even know how he brought these things here.

Originally, I thought about releasing them on the road, but with so many, it would take hundreds of miles to release them all at once.

Even if 22 people can be managed, they dare not let go.

The soldiers and horses must gather together, who knows if the Xiongnu will attack at the end, they need to leave as soon as possible!

So, starving, nearly [-] people died of exhaustion in the past few days, which made Huo Shan feel bad!
It's all right now, Huo Shan felt a lot more relaxed. When he met the army of the big man, it took less than two days for a large number of people to gather.

.........

"The last general Shuofang's captain XX pays his respects to the champion."

"Get up!"

Huo Shan looked at the Qu Zhang who was half kneeling on the ground in front of him and ordered.

"Who is in charge of this area now?"

The chief Qu looked up at Huo Shan frantically, and fell into a daze. He didn't understand what Huo Shan asked.

Huo Shan snapped his fingers:
"Hey, let me ask you a question, who is the leader of this area now?"

Qu Zhang woke up immediately, saluted quickly and replied:

"Back to the champion, it's General Yinmao."

"Gongsun Ao?"

Qu Chang lowered his head and mentioned Gongsun Ao, Huo Shan smacked his mouth, feeling a little embarrassed, Huo Shan took the credit from him!
Although his surrendered city was useless in the Zuo Dawei incident except to resist Shanyu's soldiers for a while, and he did not make any contribution in history this time.

But you can't say that, except for Huo Shan, who knows if he can make a contribution?
But Huo Shan was only slightly embarrassed, and it was fleeting!
The big deal is to take him with you when you go to the Western Regions. There is nothing wrong with being a pioneer. With Xiao Hei around, you are not afraid that he will lead you astray and cause you to get lost.

Well, the current Huo Shan is qualified to say these words!
As a general, his combat exploits are everything.

Before the Battle of Hexi, Lao Huo didn't have much military exploits, and he was able to stand on an equal footing with you, a veteran general. I can't order you with such great military exploits?
Even if you can't order, you wait for me for a while, and come to you after I am named a general!
After Huo Shan asked about the situation, he ordered Qu Chang to call up the army and bring Gongsun Ao to him, and Qu Chang went away as ordered.

Huo Shan's current position is only the school lieutenant, but this chief Qu didn't hesitate at all, as soon as Huo Shan gave an order, he immediately carried it out.

And Huo Shan still has the Snake Slaying Sword in his hand, which general can't order it?
.........

The army continued to advance, followed by Qu Chang's five hundred soldiers and horses, and after waiting for a day, more and more soldiers and horses gathered.

On the third day, Huo Shan's army was almost at the Great Wall, and Gongsun Ao finally came.

"The last general, General Gongsun Ao, met the champion."

Seeing that he was about to bow down, Huo Shan hurriedly stepped forward to support him:
"Uncle, why is this?"

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ao said solemnly:

"It's different now. Although I'm a general of Han Dynasty now, and the champion Hou is a school lieutenant, but the champion Hou holds the Snake Slaying Sword, so I still have to worship him!"

Huo Shan felt a little helpless, so he came here to play tricks on me.

Huo Shan let go of his hands and took two steps back:
"Then please!"

Gongsun Ao looked a little surprised:
"Thank you so much?"

"Aren't you going to worship?"

Gongsun Ao was a little embarrassed:
"Hey, uncle's fault."

Gongsun Ao rolled his eyes and saw cattle, sheep and horses in the distance, and immediately changed the subject:

"Straight mother thief, so many? How much is this?"

Huo Shan rolled his eyes, and the topic changed quickly!

Gongsun Ao's personality is very similar to that of Zhao Puonu. If Zhao Puonu is Huo Shan's living treasure, then Gongsun Ao is Wei Qing's living treasure.

"2 soldiers and horses, 34 people, 41 horses, [-] cattle and sheep!"

Gongsun Ao's eyeballs almost popped out, and he was stunned for a while before he could react.

"Didn't you say that you asked for a little compensation from the Huns? Is this a little bit?"

Gongsun Ao's face is full of the expression that you are teasing me.

Huo Tan raised his head and put his hands behind his back, and said calmly:

"That's where it is, less than half of it, and the Xiongnu will send more later. By the way, 24 cattle, sheep and horses belong to the Zuo Dawei's department."

Gongsun Ao touched the back of his head, he couldn't accept it for a while, when he looked at Huo Shan, his eyes were strange, Huo Shan felt a little uncomfortable.

"How much compensation do you want, you tell uncle, uncle can bear it!"

Huo Shan chuckled:
"Really?"

Gongsun Ao struggled for a moment, a little afraid of being hit, so he didn't want to know, but he was itchy again, then pouted, gritted his teeth and nodded.

"20 war horses, 60 cattle and sheep, and a million catties of gold."

Looking at Gongsun Ao, who was crying and shaking his head after hearing these numbers, Huo Shan continued:

"And signed a covenant."

Gongsun Ao was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, and said nonchalantly:

"The covenant is useless, you still have to fight!"

Gongsun Ao and the others knew that Huo Shan had signed the covenant, but they all thought it was an ordinary non-aggression covenant!
"Uncle doesn't want to know the details of the covenant?"

Gongsun Ao looked at Huo Shan who was full of smiles, and quickly shook his head:

"Do not want to."

Huo Shan pouted:
"Well, if you don't want to, then don't say it."

The two fell silent as they watched the soldiers who were actually driving their cattle and sheep to the south.

In the end, Gongsun Ao couldn't bear his temper, couldn't help his curiosity, and bumped into Huo Shan's arm:

"Tell me."

Huo Shan looked at Gongsun Ao pretending to be puzzled:
"What did you say?"

"Covenant."

"Aren't you unwilling to listen?"

Gongsun Ao was a little speechless, then stroked his short gray beard and raised his head:

"Tell me."

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows, he knew you couldn't help it.

"Okay, let's talk about it, there are three clauses in the covenant."

"Oh, three?"

Gongsun Ao followed suit, and Huo Shan was very comfortable being praised.

"First, the Huns bow their heads to the big man!"

Gongsun Ao's face became stiff for a moment, and he didn't feel it when he pulled off a few beards. Then he grabbed Huo Shan's shoulder excitedly:

"The Xiongnu bowed their heads to the big man?"

Huo Shan smiled and nodded.

Gongsun Ao let go of the hand holding Huo Shan's shoulder, and muttered:

"Bow your head and bow your head, bow your head and bow your head, hahahaha, okay, okay, bow your head and bow your head."

Huo Shan looked at him laughing like crazy, and felt a little puzzled in his heart, isn't it just a surrender, why is he so happy?
In fact, Huo Shan didn't know what it meant for the Xiongnu to surrender to the Han!
Even if it is an ordinary person, as long as he can make the Xiongnu surrender to the great Han, needless to say, he can directly confer the title of Marquis, Liehou!
And this is even more meaningful to Gongsun Ao, who has fought against the Huns all his life, and he is also a native of the North!

After laughing, Gongsun Ao started crying again, Huo Shan stared blankly at this scene, I'm afraid you are crazy, you laughed and cried at the same time!

Gongsun Ao shed a few tears, then took a deep breath, looked at Huo Shan with red eyes and said:

"Zihou, it has been 26 years since the old man Yuanguang went to war against the Xiongnu in the fifth year, 26 years!

From the beginning when the Huns were powerful and often went south to plunder, the northern land was in dire straits, and then they were evenly matched.

After the Battle of Mobei, there was no royal court in Monan, and now, the Huns have finally surrendered to the big man, and the old man died without regret! "

"By the way, your word is really good, it is very appropriate to use it here!"

Huo Shan was moved here, but was rendered speechless by his words.

Sure enough, it is my evaluation for you, a living treasure!
Gongsun Ao was actually trying to ease the atmosphere on purpose, he didn't want to say more about these issues.

If you're not from the Northland, you can't understand the feeling of the Huns raging in the Northland. It was really frightening, and you were afraid of rushing out from somewhere.

Then kill all the men, rob all the food, take away the women and children, and burn all the houses. That is not a life that people should live.
