North, grassland.

The cold north wind blew through the camp like a naughty child.

The gathering place of the Southern Huns was located in the central tent, and Liu Bao's heart felt as cold as winter.

"Alas, are our Southern Huns really exhausted?" Liu Bao sighed deeply.

At this moment, he missed the big man he once was.

More than ten years ago, the Han Dynasty had constant internal disputes, the Yellow Turban disaster and the Qiang rebellion emerged one after another. The once aloof Han Dynasty was like a dying old man, strong on the outside and weak on the inside. At that time, his father also led an army to assist the Han Dynasty and conquered the Yellow Turbans. But in fact

, I just wanted to test the big man’s reality and take advantage of him.

As expected, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and his father called himself Chanyu. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Bingzhou, he plundered and occupied Bingzhou. He even stationed himself in Hanoi to spy on the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the world was in chaos. I thought that the Han Dynasty was dead, and the disputes between various princes were just a good time for them to fish in troubled waters. However, I never thought that each of these princes was more difficult to provoke. If you pull out any one, it will be more difficult to deal with than the old Han Dynasty.

Especially Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, he was really like a devil. The surrounding foreigners were so frightened that they were killed one by one, and they did not dare to go even half a step closer to Youzhou.

Seeing how ferocious these princes were, they did not dare to cause trouble, but continued to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

The Southern Xiongnu occupied Bingzhou at that time, and the neighboring Yuan Shao was fine. He had a gentle temperament and was not very interested in the bitter and cold land of Bingzhou, and he did not want to provoke them.

But this kind of good life soon came to an end. Yuan Shao didn't know why he was so crazy. When a decree of enfeoffment was issued, the entire aristocratic families in Hebei went crazy and came to Bingzhou one after another.

At that time, Liu Bao witnessed one of the most powerful forces of this era, the aristocratic family.

Bingzhou, which was originally peaceful, saw wars erupting overnight. The Han people who were once weak under their command seemed to have changed and became extremely terrifying.

If you kill a Hu man, you will get five acres of land, and you will get one thousand yuan. If you capture a Hu man alive, you will get ten acres of land, and you will get ten thousand yuan.

Just like Ran Min's order to kill Hu Hu, the excited Hebei aristocratic families, many of whom were resourceful, directly united and clearly marked the price. Although they did not have the right to enfeoff official positions for the time being, the attraction of money and land to ordinary people was not much different.

Even more so.

The result of this was that the Southern Xiongnu could no longer stay in the major cities in Bingzhou. Many tribesmen would disappear inexplicably every night, and people were panicked. The Han people no longer looked at them with fear, but with greed, as if

Looking at Jinshan Mountain made them panic. Because this look was so familiar. They also looked at these Han people like this when they went south to merge with the state.

It's not that the Southern Xiongnu didn't think about curbing this situation, some tribesmen were even forced to prepare to massacre the city and completely exterminate the Han people in the city.

But the result was that tens of thousands of Han people in the city were wiped out. The Southern Xiongnu in the city themselves were also completely damaged, and most of their soldiers were lost. If the surrounding tribesmen hadn't seen that the situation was not good and came to support, it would be uncertain who would be destroyed.

Not only are these Han people more ferocious than before, but there are even leaders with excellent martial arts skills among them. Looking at their strong bodies, you can tell that they are definitely not the local Han people who have been oppressed for a long time, but are definitely sent by aristocratic families.

Having learned from this experience, they never dared to do such a thing again. In desperation, they had no choice but to move all the clan members outside the city and set up camp.

The towering city is a protection for the Han people, but it is a prison for the barbarians. They are good at riding and shooting but not good at defending the city, so garrisoning the city will be tied up, so it is better to move outside the city.

But soon, the aristocratic family's crusade army also arrived. The armies all over the sky started from the southeast and covered the entire Bingzhou like a big net, and there were countless of them.

Although these armies are not regular troops, their equipment and combat power are not very high, but their fighting will is indeed not low, and most importantly, they are large in number, almost endless. Every time the opponent conquers a city, there will be many more soldiers.

Just like the original Yellow Turban.

But these armies are far more terrifying than the Yellow Turbans. They don't have those bad habits. Their combat power is average but they are well-disciplined. They also have countless supplies of food and grass. They have unified command and dispatch, and their advance and retreat are orderly.

In this way, his own people were driven out of Bingzhou without the ability to fight back.

Every time he thought of this, Liu Bao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These are the Han people! No matter what stage they reach, as long as they are serious, they barbarians will have no power to fight back.

It's all bullshit that cavalry can restrain infantry and that cavalry and archery are invincible.

Under the hail of bullets and arrows, Liu Bao finally saw through. The Han people were weak on the surface, but it was just because there was no internal unity and serious internal fighting. As long as the other party is determined to deal with you, it will be useless no matter how hard you struggle. Infantry fighting

The cavalry still slaughtered, and under the overwhelming combat power, the arms were restrained, and the tactics were restrained. It was just nonsense.

The only people who can defeat the Han people are the Han people themselves!

Thousands of years of profound heritage, vast and fertile land, tens of millions of people, and simple and hard-working people. These advantages are that they, the Hu people, can never match.

Compared with the Han people, they are undoubtedly backward. Being backward does not mean being weak, but only by becoming advanced can we become stronger.

If the outbreak of the aristocratic family made Liu Bao see the reality clearly, then the battle of Langjuxu completely cut off Liu Bao's ambitions.

Six hundred thousand string-controlling men were beaten to pieces by Gongsun Zan. His uncle, the Great Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, Huchuquan, died tragically on the battlefield, and more than 80% of the Southern Xiongnu's army was ruined. If Gongsun Zan hadn't looked down on them.

The weak Southern Xiongnu concentrated their firepower on Xianbei after the war and wanted to exterminate the Xianbei clan. They, the Southern Xiongnu, are now probably doomed.

Although he won the position of Great Chanyu in this battle, he was not happy at all. Half of his power had been reduced, and most of his combat power had been lost. Gongsun Zan might destroy him at any time. This made him unable to sleep well.

Later, Yuan Shao, a former enemy, put down his arrogance and came to join forces with him to deal with Gongsun Zan. He agreed without thinking. And he did so without any reservation, sending nearly the entire family's troops to help.

The reason is very simple. He is afraid of Gongsun Zan, and he is even more afraid that his own people will be exterminated by Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan has a character that does not regard the barbarians as human beings. If he were to unify Hebei, he would have no choice but to take his people to join his former brothers, the Northern Huns. If Gongsun Zan conquered the world, he might not even think about going to Rome to rest in peace.

It's safe, find a place where no one is around, curl up and pretend to be dead, maybe you can survive.

Fortunately, Gongsun Zan, who was like a god and a demon in his heart, was defeated at the hands of Yuan Shao. This also made him realize more how terrifying the Han people were. Yuan Shao could actually defeat Gongsun Zan! So he hugged Yuan Shao's arms wholeheartedly.

thigh.

However, what was even more unexpected was that Yuan Shao was also defeated. Hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated head-on and almost crushed.

When he first got the news, he thought it was a hallucination and asked his subordinates to repeat the news three times. Finally, he collapsed on the ground in disbelief and threw everything he could throw away. At that time, his

There is no anger in my heart, only one emotion called fear, a maddening fear.

He was immersed in fear for a long time. After he came to his senses, he was extremely happy in his heart. Fortunately, he did not participate in this battle like the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

Thanks to Yuan Shu's rapid deployment of troops and the fact that Sun Ce and Zhao Yun led their elite cavalry to block his way south, Yuan Shao did not involve him.

In other words, Yuan Shao actually looked down on their little strength, so they were able to fight a smooth battle. Yuan Shao himself didn't think he could win this battle, so he didn't want to find his incompetent younger brother who could not help but add trouble.

Liu Bao is now like a prisoner before his execution, waiting for Yuan Shu's trial.

As for resistance, Liu Bao had no such thoughts at all, not even the thought of running away.

The Sanhu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu in the north are the weakest ones. The three families can't defeat Gongsun Zan together, and Gongsun Zan can't defeat Yuan Benchu, and Yuan Benchu ​​was beaten by Yuan Shu. Now Yuan Shu has unified the world again, and he

There were heavy casualties here. After a little calculation, Liu Bao had an idea.

Resistance? This is not how you seek death.

Escape? He had already made such a plan, preparing to leave a way out for himself. But he already knew the current situation of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. He was afraid that before the halfway period, the countries in the Western Regions would cooperate to assist the Han people in order to please the Han people.

The army was destroyed.

Liu Bao was a very smart man, even considered a wise man among the Southern Huns. He knew how to choose.

Many barbarians and Qiang people in the north such as Wuhuan surrendered, and they were helping the Han people herd cattle and horses. Although they lost their freedom, they lived a very comfortable life. Xianbei was basically gone, with only two or three branches left, which lasted for hundreds of years.

I can't even get up. If the Han people are determined, they will either be destroyed or annexed.

Now the strength of the Han people is at its peak, with the scorching sun in the sky, and they are invincible, just like during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In this case, if you don't retaliate, you will be destroyed. How did the Southern Xiongnu survive in the past? Now they can only use the same method

Find a way to survive.
