Although the marquises of the Han Dynasty sound similar to each other, the distinction is only based on the food towns.

But food is often the hardest thing to obtain, yet many of the founding leaders are still in the lowest level of marquis status.

The only top marquis is Qi Hou Tian Dan.

And almost everyone regards this Marquis as a mascot.

Although the title is high, it is a measure to appease him and a countermeasure to win over Qi Di.

But in fact, there are still distinctions among the marquises of the Han Dynasty.

The titles of Marquis of Qi and Marquis of Yan, which are directly based on the old country, do not have much reference value.

Nowadays, all marquises are titled after their hometown city, which only shows where you are from.

Whether it is a county government or a county seat, it is just the name of a city.

Further up, there are counties. Marquises who are titled with the name of a county should change their title basically when their wealth reaches more than a thousand stones.

Further up, there are various titles of marquis, such as champion marquis.

And this is the pinnacle of the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and beyond that, there can only be those illusory princes.

What ordinary people yearn for is to be granted the title of marquis, while those who have already been granted the title of marquis long for a real title.

It is also a title that everyone calls a prince in private.

Guan Ying stayed here for three days. On the afternoon of the fourth day, the Yuezhi people escorted the first batch of animal skin clothes to the Great Wall.

The quantity is not too large, only 10,000 pieces.

Every day that follows, more or less animal skin clothing will be delivered.

The snow on the grasslands is melting, the temperature is colder than before, and there are muddy roads everywhere.

The last batch of supplies came from the Yuezhi Royal Court, totaling 50,000 sets of animal skin clothing.

The people responsible for the escort were Bayar and Batu, old acquaintances of the Han Dynasty.

After the two returned from the Han Dynasty last time, their status increased slightly, but it was still not enough for them to challenge the status of the heir.

Just like you can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep.

A person who pretends to sleep will never let himself fall asleep.

The two of them saw the power of the Han Dynasty and the appearance and domineering power of the Han Emperor.

When he was in Luoyang, he often found people to chat with, and under Wang Buxu's arrangement, he also instilled a lot of ideas in the two of them to compete for power.

Therefore, these two people still have many ideas in their hearts, but they are still in the hesitation stage!

"What? Let us go out with the Han army?" Bayar looked at Guan Ying with wide eyes.

He knew that Guan Ying was the Minister of War in the Han Dynasty, and that the entire army of the Han Dynasty was under his control.

And the characteristics of the grassland made it very reasonable for him to subconsciously Guan Ying appear here and personally lead the troops on the expedition.

"Yes, aren't the Yueshi and the Xiongnu feuding? Not only in the past, but also in recent years, they have harassed you, right? Now that there is such a good opportunity, you are not tempted?" Guan Ying looked at Baya with a smile.

you.

"No! The Yuezhi have no idea of ​​​​fighting now, and the troops have not been mobilized. It is impossible for them to come out within at least two or three months!" Bayar quickly shook his head and refused.

He thought of what his father had specifically told him before he came out.

The Han people actually won a big victory last year. Although it was beautiful, it also relieved their anger.

But it must be a fight at home. This time they want to go deep into the grassland to fish in troubled waters to get a share of the pie. I'm afraid it's a bit fanciful.

The Han army simply did not have that kind of experience and ability, although their weapons were innovative and their riding skills were pretty good.

But after all, the Xiongnu grew up on the grasslands. They have experienced countless battles, large and small, in the past few years, and their combat experience can completely crush the Han army.

Therefore, although the Yueshi need to rely on the Han Dynasty temporarily, they cannot give all of themselves to the Han Dynasty.

If he wants fur coats, just give them to him. Anyway, there is no shortage of these on the grassland.

Just bear with it now and do something in autumn.

Therefore, this time let Han Guo play it by himself first. If we can win, we can rely on it next time. If we can't win, Han Guo may not be sure when he will go to war.

At that time, we just need to stay here and not leave.

As long as they don't break up with the Han Dynasty, they will not come out to drive us away. Of course, they must be able to come out to fight at that time.

"If the Yuezhi's caution and cowardice were not mentioned, this general would have thought that the Yuezhi did not grow up on the grassland!" Guan Ying directly started the taunting mode.

Although it's a bit weird.

But Bayar and the two still looked livid upon hearing this.

Isn't this just pointing at the nose and calling them weak, not prairie men?

Forget it, just scold him. The Yuezhi can't afford to offend the current big man.

"General, please don't forget that the Yuezhi have suffered successive sneak attacks from the Huns in the past two years. In addition, they also gave the Han Dynasty 340,000 war horses and nearly one million cattle and sheep, which greatly reduced the strength of the Yuezhi.

Without a period of recuperation, what can Yuezhi do to fight?" Bayar said.

"It's 250,000!" Guan Ying directly corrected Bayar's wrong statement.

Is my trophy given by you?

Where does the logic come from?

Who gave you the courage to say that?

"I..." Bayar was speechless. Isn't this just a statement?

In fact, the Yuezhi lost quite a lot, as many as 50,000 to 60,000 war horses.

"General, the Yuezhi are really not suitable for going on an expedition now. This winter has been a huge blow to us. It will be at least next year before everyone can calm down and discuss the expedition!" Seeing that Bayar was stuck, Batu hurriedly

explained.

The Han Dynasty is something they must not offend, as the people around him have said.

If they want to stand up, they have to rely on the support of Han.

Otherwise, in the future, they will just divide some of the family property and then work for the brother who is in a higher position.

Maybe someone will get upset at some point and kill you directly, taking your wife and daughter along with you.

Guan Ying smiled slightly.

Nothing but laughter.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

Everything is under His Majesty's control. Guan Ying feels like a tool now.

His Majesty commanded him to get things done from thousands of miles away, and he did so perfectly and seamlessly.

It is true that once the grassland is hit by a disaster, it will take a whole year of hard work to recover.

The scouts had already found out the tricks on the grassland.

Generally speaking there are only two ways.

The first is to migrate to a safe place to recuperate and allow livestock to have a stable environment to breed, thereby replenishing their losses.

The second is to go to war, annex some weak tribes, and rob their cattle, sheep, horses, young labor force, and women.

In this way, they can directly increase their strength without having to go to a safe place to recuperate.

Tribes with a little strength will choose the second method to tide themselves over the difficulties.

After working so hard to herd cattle, how can there be any advantage in being self-reliant?

Anyway, the rule of survival on the grassland is that if you can rob it, try not to raise it yourself; if you can use your hands, don't use your mouth.

For these characters on the grassland, Wang Buxu has a good grasp of them.

"General, I will give you two a chance, do you want to?" Guan Ying looked at the two of them with a smile and said.

Bayar shook his head subconsciously and wanted to refuse.

But I felt a little itchy in my heart, so I asked: "What opportunity?"

"You send a small number of troops to follow the Han army and take the opportunity to learn the Han army's fighting methods. The rest of the people follow the rear and are responsible for supporting the operation. If the battle on the front line does not go well, you can evacuate on your own. If everything goes well, you can

How about I let you go up and have a fight?" Guan Ying said bluntly.

"???"

Bayar and Batu looked at each other.

Both parties understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Is there such a good thing?

Did you hear that right?

"I can't learn...I can't learn..." Bayar immediately shook his head and refused.
To be continued...
