(Easter egg at the end of the chapter, map of the northwest situation!)
The sun rises from the east, the sunlight shines on the earth, and a new day comes.
The grassland was in a mess, and the military camp that was neat and solemn yesterday was now beyond recognition.
A large number of decapitated corpses were lying on the ground, the grain burned to ashes was still emitting green smoke, and the military tents where they were resting were burning with open fires...
There should have been 3,000 cavalry, but now there are only 700 left.
Among the seven hundred people who survived, it was not yet certain whether there were any infected people, so they were monitoring each other at the moment.
Five or six people form a small circle, and if any one of them makes any move, the others will kill him immediately.
Of course, since the last person was killed, there have been two hours without any accidents, so there will be no infected people inside.
But who can guarantee it? After stumbling and stumbling last night, most of the people who survived had bruises. Who can guarantee that these wounds will not be infected?
On the hill in the distance, the Jin Yiwei men were staring at the remnants of the Western Barbarians, with smiles on their faces.
"Sir, last night's operation was a great success. More than two thousand enemy troops died. It was really enjoyable!"
"If we do this business a few more times, I'm afraid we won't be able to kill all these barbarians!"
"These bullshits, so ambitious... it's just the right time to die!"
While everyone was talking about it, someone said: "Sir, dozens of us killed more than two thousand of them. If the emperor finds out, he will definitely reward you heavily!"
Hearing this, everyone glanced at the team leader's flag, with a look of anticipation in their eyes.
"Everyone... I'm afraid this matter cannot be spread, otherwise it will insult the emperor's holy name!" the general flag said helplessly.
After hearing this, everyone felt a little disappointed, but no one said anything about it.
Looking ahead, the general flag whispered: "After this time, the Western Barbarians will be on strict guard. If they want to use monsters to attack again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!"
Everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with their boss's statement.
"I'm afraid that in the near future, the Western Barbarian cavalry will encircle and suppress us, so we should all be careful!"
"We should withdraw too!"
After the commander-in-chief said these last words, he turned around and left, and his subordinates also followed suit.
Although it will be difficult to use zombies in the future, they will still try their best to weaken the enemy as much as possible.
In fact, the "man-made disaster" that happened to the Western Barbarian Army was not only noticed by the Jin Yiwei group, but also by the Xiongnu who were hiding secretly.
There was too much commotion among the Western Barbarian troops last night, and these Xiongnu scouts could easily learn about the situation.
Using zombies to deal with the Western Barbarians was something that the Huns had done before, but they never had great results, which made them feel that it was not very feasible.
But Jin Yiwei's method today is equivalent to teaching them a lesson and opening the door to a new world for them.
"If the Jin people can do it, we will never be worse than them!"
"That's right!"
So on this grassland, the Huns also started to collect zombies, and then tried their best to send them to the gathering places of the Western Barbarians.
The Huns and the Western Barbarians had a blood feud, so they acted more viciously and resorted to all possible means.
In addition to dropping them into the Western Barbarian Army, they also sneaked into the far west and dropped them into the villages and cities where the Western Barbarians lived.
Throughout late September, the various tribes of the Western Barbarians were in dire straits and had to deploy troops to strictly protect their headquarters and intensify their efforts to clear the grasslands.
If they hadn't done in-depth research on zombies and knew how to prevent them scientifically and effectively, even a "man-made disaster" might cause them to collapse.
But even so, dozens of villages and three cities were completely destroyed by zombies, and the Western Barbarians lost nearly 100,000 people.
One hundred thousand lives were lost, which made the senior officials of the Western Barbarians extremely angry, but at the same time they thought it was a good thing.
One hundred thousand people means one hundred thousand mouths. Death can not only save food, but also stimulate the hatred of the enemy in various departments. It is simply the best of both worlds.
Of course, the high-level officials of the Western Barbarians could not remain indifferent to this. Not only did they intensify their campaign against the Xiongnu, they also began to attack the Xiongnu with zombies.
For a while, you and I were having a great time fighting back and forth on the grassland.
In the eastern part of the grassland, after dispatching troops and generals, the Xiongnu Chan Yushan sat alone in his tent.
After being a single for only a few months, Yushan looked much older, and his whole person looked tired from the inside out.
Now he not only has to think about fighting, but also the balance of internal forces, and he also has to spend time allocating food.
In the past, he always thought about succeeding Shan Yu, but now that he actually sat in this position, Yu Shan missed the past days.
"Da Chanyu, Da Chanyu..."
The shouts outside woke Yushan up from his nap.
After briefly adjusting his manners, Yu Shan said immediately: "Come in!"
After a while, a stout man walked in from outside, but it was Yurich who had become a full-time diplomat.
"Meet the Great Chanyu!" Yu Lixi saluted solemnly.
"Why are you back?" Yu Shan was a little curious.
Yu Lixi replied: "The Great Chanyu is about horses. The people of Jin asked me to come back and ask the Great Chanyu for instructions!"
Hearing this, Yu Shan's face suddenly fell, and he scolded: "The Jin people asked you to come back, and you just came back obediently?"
With a bitter look on his face, Yu Lixi listened to his argument: "Da Shanyu, if I don't come back, the Jin people will run out of food!"
Food is very important to the Huns. The Jin court used this stuff to choke the Huns, and the Huns had no means of countermeasures.
"The two countries made an agreement before that they would provide food and we would send troops to resist the invasion of the Western Barbarians..."
"We fulfill our promises, but the Jin people are pressing us harder and harder. What kind of gentlemen are they? They are all a bunch of villains!"
To the Xiongnu, the current Jin people's request for horses was nothing but robbery, so it was normal for Yushan to feel angry.
After waiting for a while, when Yushan's anger gradually subsided, Yu Lixi said: "Da Shanyu, the Jin people are more sincere this time!"
"More sincerity? What sincerity?"
"Jin court officials said that the supply of food and weapons can be increased!" Yu Lixi replied.
Yushan sneered: "How many horses do they want? How much more food and weapons can they add?"
"The Jin court wants 10,000 horses. If they are delivered within this year, they will give them 200,000 shi of food, plus 100,000 arrows and 50,000 knives!"
Upon hearing this condition, Yu Shan couldn't help but be stunned, secretly sighing in his heart that the Jin people were really heroic.
To be honest, the Huns have no shortage of horses. If 10,000 horses are used as food, they will definitely not be as good as 200,000 shi of grain, not to mention there are so many weapons.
"Go and discuss with the Jin court. If you have more ideas, you can get some benefits!" Yushan said in a deep voice.
No one would think that there were too many benefits, so Yushan hoped that Yurich would be more helpful and talk to the Xiongnu about more benefits.
But Yu Lixi said helplessly: "Da Shanyu, this is the final result. The Jin people have closed Tianyu Pass and are only waiting for us to deliver the horses!"
"What? They..."
At this moment, Yushan's anger surged again, and he felt the contempt of the Jin people.
Yu Lixi bit the bullet and reminded: "Da Shanyu, this matter cannot be delayed. We are in a fierce battle with the Western Barbarians. If the news spreads that the Jin people closed Tianyu Pass, I am afraid there will be bad results..."
The reality is so cruel, no matter how unreasonable the other party's conditions are, Yu Shan can only break his teeth and swallow them.
"Get out..."
Yu Lixi looked worried: "Da Shanyu..."
"roll!"
As a result, Yu Lixi could only get out of the big tent, and then he stayed outside, waiting for Shan Yu's decision.
Is face important? It is not important in the face of survival.
