Chapter 391: Finding a new way out

"Did you hear that?"

"Thousands of people in and outside the city were just relocated by the Han army."

"Many people still have to go to Liaodong. Who knows how many people will die along the way."

"The king's tribe is completely destroyed."

In the settlement in the valley north of Pinggang.

The sentimental Wuhuan leader He Meng shook his head and sighed.

"Bah, you still call him the king?"

Another rough-looking leader, He Nan, snorted coldly:
"You deserve this fate. Instead of worrying about these people, you should think more about yourself."

As he spoke, his eyes gradually narrowed:

"When Qiuliju was at its peak, we couldn't even have soup to drink and were forced to live in misery."

"Not only has their tribe been uprooted, but the invincible General Su is also going to take these slaves to Liaodong."

"Such a large piece of fertile land has been vacated. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"what?!"

He Meng was shocked:
"How dare you set your sights on those lands?"

"I heard that these Han people are going to immigrate here from the interior."

"You're creating friction by doing this!"

Henan scoffed at He Meng's concerns:

“How many Han people can be relocated, and how long will it take?”

"Wouldn't it be a shame to waste such a large piece of land?"

"At this time, it is clear that the quick hand will get the reward, the slow hand will get nothing."

"I think Tatsumi and his men from Dongshan are also ready to make a move."

After saying that, He Nan said unwillingly:

"Don't you know that many of those people in the south have been allocated land?"

"Only the men in the north still don't have an explanation."

"Are you willing to accept this?"

This is the valley in the north of Pinggang.

Since the valley to the north was the sphere of influence of the Xianbei people, the tribes living here were all marginal elements.

As Su Yao pushed forward quickly from the south, they were even slower to realize it. By the time they came to their senses, Pinggang had already fallen.

Therefore, they did not gain any benefit from this power change.

Now that they see that many of their fellow villagers in the south have been allocated the private plots of Qiuliju, how can they not be jealous?
Therefore, after hearing Henan's words, He Meng fell into deep thought with a frown on his face.

There is actually nothing wrong with what my compatriots do. It is more like a long-standing practice.

For them, there is no concept of boundaries.

The land is there, with abundant grass and water, and it has always been the first-come, first-served land.

Even if the Han Dynasty reacted later and sent people back, they had already settled down and basically accepted this result.

At that time, the worst that can be done is to pay some money and send some people to help fight.

But the income from the land is real and can go into your own pocket.

Although he had never done this before, he knew very well that his fellow countrymen who lived next to the Han people all did the same.

They have been doing this for hundreds of years.

When the Han people took a step back, they took a step forward, and gradually the entire Youzhou border became their home.

After all, they had already submitted to the Han Dynasty.

There must be some benefits to guarding the border for the emperor.

You can't want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat.

Now that Qiuliju has been defeated and all the forces around Pinggang have been cleared out, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The fertile land around the river valley was a huge temptation for these people who had always lived in the bitter and cold mountains.

However, will the Han people just sit back and watch them occupy their land?

Judging from the few bits of information that have been passed down, the legendary General Su was ruthless and not someone who could be easily dealt with.

"The end of King Qiuliju is just around the corner."

"I'm afraid it's not a good choice to provoke rashly."

He Meng shook his head and sighed. He Nan's face changed slightly when he heard this, but then he became tough again:

"Qiuliju is Qiuliju, and we are us, don't confuse us.

"Besides, how many soldiers can the Han people send to defend this land? As long as we act quickly and occupy the land, what can they do to us?"

"We are not rebelling, so how can he beat me?"

He Meng shook his head. He knew that Henan had been blinded by greed, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity that might change the fate of the tribe.

So he proposed a compromise plan:

"Hennan, why don't we send someone to check it out and see what General Su is planning."

"If the opportunity is right, it won't be too late for us to take action."

Henan thought about it and felt that He Meng's words made sense, so he nodded in agreement:

"Okay, I'll do as you say, but do you have a suitable candidate?"

He Meng paused and nodded:
"I'll go myself."

"I'm probably the only one among us who has had some dealings with the Han people and can speak some Chinese."

"I'll go there in person and get a better understanding of their situation."

Hearing this, He Nan patted He Meng on the shoulder:

"Good brother, I'll leave it to you then."

"This is the moment that will decide our fate!"

He Meng nodded, turned around and started to prepare his luggage.

He had no idea how to deal with the Han general, but he also understood that for the future of the tribe, he had to take a risk.

Just when He Meng was carefully choosing to have his first contact with Su Yao and others.

At the same time, a group of people in the Beishan tribe had other plans.

"Are you going to surrender to the Xianbei?" the short chief exclaimed.

The tall leader nodded:

"General Su was too cruel. He not only killed the king, but also killed Tadun, the leader of the tribe, even though he surrendered to him."

"Such a person is really not an easy character to get along with."

"Instead of being constrained by him, it is better to move back to the grassland and live freely and comfortably while no one is around to take care of me."

After hearing what the chief said, the short chief thought about it and nodded secretly.

"I heard that among the Xianbei people there is a man called Kebineng, who has gained a lot of support in Shanggu, Dai County. Our Lord Suli doesn't get along well with him."

"If I submit my application, I might even be given an important position."

"Yes, I remember that Tatsumi guy married Lord Suli's daughter?"

"We can go find him first to negotiate."

The Wuhuan leaders each had their own plans, while at the same time, Su Yao in Pinggang City was discussing immigration matters with Tian Chou, Gongsun Zan and others.

As expected, the plan to take the northern route along Pinggang Road was once again opposed by everyone.

Tian Chou also once again proposed a plan for migration in batches and suggested building shelters along the way to cope with severe weather conditions.

This proposal was supported by everyone, who said it was the real strategy for the country.

"Zitai's plan is a good one."

Su Yao nodded and said:
“But this does not conflict with taking the northern route.”

"As for the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, I will go and meet them first and see what the situation is."

"This"

Tian Chou dissuaded:
"Sir, the Wuhuan tribes in the north are not close to us, and are too close to the Xianbei territory. It would be difficult for you to go there in person."

"It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of discretion."

Su Yao waved his hand:

"Since everyone says it's difficult, I can only let the people take that road after I personally investigate it."

"So, do you have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other, and seeing that Su Yao had made up his mind they stopped trying to dissuade him, and instead expressed their willingness to accompany him for protection.

Su Yao didn't completely refuse this.

He took Cheng Lian, Lu Bu, Tian Chou and others with him, and selected more than ten personal soldiers. He left Pinggang City early the next morning and headed towards the north to explore the way.

Soon after, they arrived at the river valley sandwiched between two mountains, which was the land coveted by Henan and others.
