People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 28
This barbarian team did not go very smoothly along the way. In the cold weather, they lost all their property. They were still under the enemy's attack and suffered minor or serious injuries. The rest of them also reached their limit.

Perhaps being buried in the snow is already the final destination of these people.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of barking in the distance. Even though these barbarians were very tired, they were still vigilant immediately.

Just a moment later, I saw dozens of mastiffs rushing over quickly and blocking these barbarians, their hairs all bursting, as if they might launch an attack at any time.

These barbarians were even more desperate, and then directly drew their weapons. They were proud of dying in battle and ashamed of dying of illness.

Even if it is still dead in the end, I don't want to cheap these mastiffs!

However, the leader of the Hu people was still relatively calm. Instead of ordering an active attack, he began to comfort the tribe, but he also held his weapon tightly:

"Don't panic, wait for their master to appear, maybe there is still a way out!"

Then these barbarians saw again that dozens of knights had rushed over and aimed directly at them with their bows and arrows, but they did not shoot immediately, but threatened with their mouths:
"You have entered my lord's pasture, leave here immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation, and you will be expelled by force..."

Seeing this situation, these Hu people also opened their bows and arrows, as if they were ready to fight back at any time.

Then they looked at their leader. It was obvious that the other party was not kind. No matter whether they were fighting or leaving, someone had to make up their minds.

The barbarian leader took a deep breath. He wanted to live, but he also wanted revenge. If he wanted to achieve this goal, he had to make a choice:
"I'm Temur, may I ask if this is Li Wenhou's pasture? Are you Li Wenhou's subordinates? My clansmen and I want to take refuge in Mr. Li, serve him for life, and be willing to be minions!"

Hearing this, everyone on both sides was a little surprised, but Temur's tribe quickly accepted all this, because they just want to live now and don't want to fight at all.

It's just relying on others, and it's still relying on the famous Li Wenhou, so these barbarians didn't resist at all.

On the contrary, the knights on the opposite side seemed hesitant. This is indeed Li Wenhou's pasture, and they are indeed Li Wenhou's subordinates.

But their status is relatively low. They are just ordinary herders. They serve as soldiers in wartime and herd sheep in normal times. However, as long as winter comes, they will form patrol teams to scout around and protect livestock.

The population of the grassland is relatively sparse, so all the people need to be soldiers, and there are basically no idlers.

As for the Li family's trilogy, as full-time private soldiers, half of them follow Li Wenhou's side, and half of them stay in Wubao, and they will not go out to patrol.

After discussions, these knights finally decided to take them all back first, and then hand them over to the higher authorities for a decision.

……

After a long time, in the dock!
"Temur? With hundreds of clansmen, you want to join your husband!" Zhao Yan was a little surprised when she heard this:

"Not only is he covered in wounds, but besides the horses, there are no other livestock around him..."

"It seems that they have been robbed of all their property and are now desperate, so they come here to seek refuge. This is not trustworthy!"

Now Li Wenhou has not returned to Wubao, so Zhao Yan is actually the one who decides, but she still feels a little headache at the moment.

If you choose to take in, you will have to spend more food, and you will also have to bear the risk of rebellion, and you will even have a grudge against unknown tribes.

The gain outweighs the gain, so Zhao Yan quickly made a decision. Even though she knew that this would kill them, she must be cruel enough to issue this order as the head of the house:
"Kick them out, don't get close to Wubao..."

"Mother!" At this moment, Li Yao interrupted Zhao Yan, and there was a hint of ambition in his eyes:
"Since this person has come to seek refuge, then we really shouldn't reject them, and we can strengthen ourselves, why should we drive them out?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan immediately looked at Li Yao and frowned, her face was dignified and extremely majestic, and she said angrily:
"Ayao, now is not the time to mess around. Do you know how much danger you will face if you take them in? Temporarily softening your heart will only make a big mistake. You can't have such thoughts in the future!"

What Zhao Yan said was categorical, leaving no room for negotiation, and Li Yao was not allowed to have similar thoughts.

"Mum, listen to me..." Li Yao persuaded, he knew that if he didn't persuade Zhao Yan, it would be absolutely impossible to take in these barbarians:

"Compared to previous years, the snow disaster is particularly severe this year. Now those big tribes are attacking small tribes, plundering population and property, making up for losses and expanding..."

"After they have expanded to the limit, if the snowstorm does not stop, they don't eat or drink, and they still suffer from the cold, at that time, even Father may not be able to keep them down. Therefore, we must be strong enough to deter the Qiang tribe!"

It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Yan truly believed that Li Yao didn't mess around randomly, but made this judgment after careful consideration.

Knowing that Li Yao wasn't soft-hearted, Zhao Yan's complexion gradually improved, but she still didn't agree:
"It's true to think this way. This year's snowstorm is extremely serious, but we will not mention how much food will be spent to take them in. Besides, your father is still outside. If these barbarians gather to make trouble in the future, I'm afraid there will be many troubles in Wubao!"

Li Yao was overjoyed to find that Zhao Yan no longer insisted on his original idea, and after thinking about it for a while, he began to strike while the iron was hot:
"When my mother reconciled the accounts before, I also followed through. Even if there are a few thousand more people, the family can support them, and they will definitely not let them eat and live for free..."

"As for these barbarians, they can be managed separately. The strong men are organized into the patrol team, and the women and children are taken into the Wubao. If they want to get enough food, they must pay something. It's a pity that Temur is still alive, otherwise many things will be very simple. If it is impossible, send him to my father. Since he wants to join my father, my father should also know him!"

The women are the hostages, and the strong men need to patrol so they can get food.

If the strong men gather to make trouble, the women and children will be killed first, which is enough to make people feel like a mouse-throwing weapon.

Without their leader, these barbarians would have enough to eat and drink, and they would soon blend in.

But with Temur, there is also a backbone, and these barbarians will always stick together, so this person must be kicked out.

Zhao Yan was even more surprised when she heard this. Li Yao's words were so clear that even she felt that this method could indeed be successful:
"If you want to empty this person, Temur will definitely not agree!"

"He doesn't agree, but his clan may not agree." Li Yao said with a confident smile when he heard this:

"I want to try it once. Although my father is not here now, my child is willing to share her worries!"

Hearing Li Yao's words, Zhao Yan's eyes became softer. What else could she do? Of course, she agreed to him:

"Well, be careful, and drive them away if you don't want to!"

Li Yao smiled and nodded.

The world will be in chaos in the future, and it is imperative to expand our strength. This opportunity cannot be missed!
