Is it because I grew up too fast?

"It's too early to talk about training."

"Let them be civilians first."

"Besides, we have already wasted quite a bit of time and must rush to Yong'an as soon as possible."

Dong Yu looked serious and looked outside the tent.

The weather has begun to cool down noticeably.

Especially in the morning and evening, Dong Yu felt that the temperature was only around 7 or 8 degrees. He estimated that in another month, the temperature would drop completely below zero.

You know, it's only September now, and the temperature has already dropped so low.

It is hard to imagine how low the temperature is in You and Bing states now.

"My lord, you are right."

"The weather has been getting colder in recent years. Last October, heavy snow fell on the northern grasslands."

"The Hu people must have made some preparations. I'm afraid there will be even more of them heading south this year."

Xun You stroked his beard and said with a worried look.

The scourge of the Hu people has always been a headache for the Han Dynasty.

Although we can counterattack when the enemy is strong, it is difficult to destroy it, and it will also consume a lot of national strength.

And when you are thinking about slowly restoring the national strength, the Hu people will rise again. Then you will find that it is difficult for the country to effectively fight against the Hu people.

"Zi Long."

"You will go ahead and escort the baggage along the Fen River."

"Youwei, you lead the Flying Bear Army."

Dong Yu drew the sword from his waist, walked to the map and gave orders to the two men.

"The last general takes command!"

The two of them spoke at the same time, clasping their fists in response.

"Gongming, you lead our troops to ensure that the food supply route along the Fen River remains open."

Dong Yu gave the order again.

"The last general takes command!"

Xu Huang bowed and clasped his hands.

"The rest of you, follow me tomorrow and head north to Yong'an!"

"This time, we must not let the Hu people set foot in Yong'an!"

Dong Yu waved his cloak and spoke in a dignified manner to encourage others.

"Never let the Hu people set foot in Yong'an!"

All the generals echoed, with a fighting spirit burning in their hearts.

As military generals, how many of them did not have the righteousness of their country and family in their hearts? How many of them did not think of sweeping across the desert like that man, defeating the barbarians and forcing them to flee far away and never dare to provoke the Han Dynasty again?

Yong'an County

This is the main road from Bingzhou to Hedong.

It doesn't mean that there is no other way to travel between the two places except this road.

Rather, this road is the only route that can accommodate large-scale marches.

The rest of the roads are mostly mountain trails, which are not only rugged and difficult to travel, but also located deep in the mountains.

In the past, there were hunters who would take this route, but the Hu people would never give up their war horses and choose to walk in the mountains.

"Big brother."

Xu Rong looked at the people on the official road who were migrating south with their families, and couldn't help but turn to look at Dong Yu.

"I guess the Hu people are coming soon."

"Let's go quickly, Yong'an is ahead."

Dong Yu shook his head, already guessing something in his heart.

The army continued to advance, and Yong'an City soon appeared at the end of the distance.

The closer to the city, the more people migrated south.

Every household pushed wooden carts and carried luggage on their backs as they headed south.

Unlike modern times, most people in ancient times never even left their county.

Unless there are special circumstances, they will not choose to leave their hometown.

As the army approached the city, soldiers of the Feixiong Army were maintaining order at the city gates to prevent a stampede among the people who were eager to escape.

"Lord!"

Seeing Dong Yu leading a large army, several team leaders hurriedly saluted.

"Why are you the ones maintaining order?"

"Where are the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Yong'an?"

Dong Yu dismounted and asked in confusion.

"Alas, when we arrived in Yong'an two days ago, the county government office was already empty."

"According to the people, the county magistrate and county lieutenant all ran away with the money and grain."

The team leader explained helplessly.

The Han Dynasty had become so rotten that when border officials faced foreign enemies, they did not think of reporting to their superiors and seeking reinforcements, but instead fled with the county's money and food as soon as possible.

Of course, perhaps they also reported it to their superiors, but his superior Wang Yi did not have a good solution to the border issue.
