Pheasants, hares, wild boars, muntjacs, roe deer, black bears... all kinds of animals, big and small, have become their favorites. The rich taste has given their taste buds a new impact.
Moreover, the Rong people were not completely ignorant of plants and trees.
They were accompanied by a shaman, who told the Rong army all the edible plants in the mountains.
So the Rong people began a large-scale carpet search.
During the search, they unexpectedly discovered several groups of villagers hiding in the mountains.
Even more unfortunate was that a group of women and their children were discovered hiding in the cave.
As a result, the people once again became slaves of the Rong people.
The Rong people ordered the people to dig up all the edible animals and plants on the mountain and let the people taste them first.
The women became tools for the Rong people to play with, and those who were still alive were naturally sent back to the base camp in the north.
When Emperor Xuanyi first learned the news that the Rong people were moving south, he was very anxious.
However, when Shi Tan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, pointed out that crossing the Yueling Mountains was not something that ordinary people could do.
Let’s not talk about the dangers of Bashan Mountain for now.
Jiannan Pass is blocked by natural barriers, and the imperial court has stationed officers and soldiers outside the pass.
The Rong cavalry could not get through at all.
Emperor Xuanyi thought about it and believed that the Northern Rong people would go back after they had looted enough food for the winter.
As for advancing eastward, he believed that the Northern Rong would not dare to do so.
Reassured, Emperor Xuanyi sent an edict to the King of Shu, ordering him to hold Jiannan Pass, and then returned to his carefree life.

As the army advanced deeper into the Yueling Mountains, it continued to reap new rewards.
They are increasingly reluctant to give up this piece of fat meat.
Therefore, even though the villagers of Qianniu Village fled first under the leadership of Zhao Lizheng, they were gradually caught up by the Rong people.
The mountains stretch endlessly.
Today, when Zhao Lizheng and his tribesmen were resting, they heard frequent screams coming from the mountain behind them.
At first, Zhao Lizheng thought that someone behind him had encountered a creature like a big insect or a black blind tiger.
But today, the screams that came one after another echoed in the valley for a long time before Zhao Lizheng became alert.
He quickly asked the brave Zhang Dadi and Zhao Dahai to climb up to the treetop to check.
The strange attire shows that they are Rong soldiers.
"Oh no, it's a Rong scout," Zhang Dadi warned in a low voice.
Zhao Lizheng was so frightened that his calves were shaking. He whispered to everyone, "Go quickly, go quickly. If you want to live, don't stay any longer."
As he spoke, another scream echoed in the valley.
The team no longer dared to take the main road connecting the mountains, but walked directly on the small path in the mountains and forests, heading south madly.
