"Mr. Marquis, don't pay attention to him, he doesn't have any brains!"
Seeing that Xiao Han's face was almost green, Xiaodong hurriedly tried to smooth things over, and kicked the butt of a little dissatisfied Lengzi.
When he saw Lanzi being kicked out of the room, he rubbed his hands and laughed: "As the Marquis said, whoever occupied the Yangguan City and wanted to clean up the Tuguhun inside would be like closing the door.
Just as simple as a dog?
But the problem is, if Tuguhun is so easy to fight, so many generals who have been crazy about military merits will not turn a blind eye to it, right?"
"Nonsense, of course it's not that simple!"
Xiao Han had a dark face, picked up the ox horn cup at his hand, and tilted his neck to drink the water inside! After putting down the cup, he pointed to the thick lines on the map again and said, "Close the door and beat the dog,
Then you have to catch the dog!
Don’t think that Tuguhun is very small! Didn’t you see it? This is the Qilian Mountains and Kunlun Mountains! Their length is thousands of miles! The width is four or five hundred miles! After seeing them, look at Tuguhun again, you still
Think it's small? Will it be easy to catch the people inside?"
"Ah? This Tuguhun is so big?!"
Xiaodong was really shocked this time when he stared at the specially thickened lines and a large open space surrounded by lines!
Today's people of the Tang Dynasty have long been accustomed to the title of the Celestial Kingdom!
In their hearts, they always thought that in this world, except for the Tang Dynasty, other countries are just small lands, and are just small border countries, not worth mentioning!
But at this time, Xiaodong looked at the map again and found that the place occupied by Tuguhun was not smaller than that of the Central Plains, and it was even more than that of the Central Plains!
How can this not shock him?
"Is this map accurate? They really occupy such a large area?" Xiaodong stared at the map on the table for a long time. He still couldn't believe that the Tuguhun people actually lived in such a large area.
On a piece of land!
"Nonsense, can the map be wrong?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and said affirmatively!
But in fact, he felt a little weak at this moment.
Since the Central Plains dynasty has never captured Tuguhun for so many years, and there is little land even in this land, this has led to even less map information about it!
The map in front of me was made up of Xiao Han based on his memory and combined with some existing maps today.
It's okay to fool Xiaodong. If you want to fool someone who knows it, you may be exposed in minutes.
"That's so big, it's really hard to fight!"
Xiaodong didn't see Xiao Han's abnormality, so he had to sigh from the bottom of his heart!
No wonder, there are so many powerful generals and commanders and so many majestic emperors in all dynasties, but they never chewed this piece of fat in the end. It turned out that this piece of fat is too big and difficult to swallow!
In fact, the real history is indeed as Xiaodong thought!
Since Tuguhun occupied this place, people who are greedy for this fat piece have never stopped!
For this reason, more than one generation has launched an attack on this place, and the selected locations are also Yangguan!
Even the recent Sui Dynasty sent troops to attack Tuguhun?
But it’s a pity that although so many people want to hit dogs behind closed doors!
But so many years have passed, the dog is still jumping around, running away when he is beaten, and coming back when he is not beaten. He can even run out to bite a few times when he is not prepared!
All of this, in the final analysis, is because of the too large territory of Tuguhun!
It is 600 miles wide from north to south! It is even more terrifying as many as 1,800 miles from east to west!
Such a large area!
Not to mention getting tens of thousands of soldiers, even if hundreds of thousands or millions of soldiers are thrown in, it is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Just imagine, if someone attacked Tuguhun, even if he deployed his troops on the narrowest north and south side, and stood a soldier one meter apart, it would take a total of 300,000 people to stand in a row!
Not to mention the financial resources of the Central Plains Treasury, can we provide for the 300,000 troops of people to eat horses and chew!
Even if the emperor tightened his belt and took out the money to supply it!
But Tuguhun is not stupid either!
People won’t fight with you, they will just play hide-and-seek with you!
So I want to capture the enemy in such a large area of land!
And this land is basically plains!
I guess I can only cry out for a moment when the Heavenly King comes!
Of course, through Xiao Han's recitation of the history of this place in the past few days, he also found that the Tuguhun people did this!
In the past, whenever a large army invaded, their first idea was to run. The faster the better, the better the farther the better!
No wonder those generals always looked contemptuous when they mentioned Tuguhun and called them timid rabbits!
Their escape speed is indeed no less than that of a rabbit!
Want to get them to pick up their weapons and guard their homes?
Don't joke! They can't guard a little!
Because Tuguhun, although nominally, is a country,
But in fact, it is more like the Turkic people, a herdsman based on tribes!
Tribes, large or small, form this country together! They jointly worship Murong as the emperor and graze on this land.
It looks like such a loose structure.
You told them that there were cattle and sheep outside, wealth and women!
They may scream excitedly, fighting out with you, grab cattle, grab money, and grab women!
But you let them fight for their homeland?
Home? Where is home?
They want to be unable to know where they are their homes!
Once the felt bag is put on the fence, this is their home!
Similarly, as soon as the felt bag is collected and the cattle and sheep are driven away, the family will follow!
Since there are homes everywhere, why do you still have to use a knife and gun to fight against others?
Isn’t it easier to run away first, hide, and wait for the enemy to leave and come back by yourself?
Don’t forget, their ancestor: Murong Tuguhun!
That is, I can’t fight with others, so I finally arrived here from Liaodong, through Yinshan, Hetao, and Longxi!
Back then, the ancestors ran thousands of miles away. As juniors, what is it that they would run hundreds of miles at one go?
Moreover, compared with the ancestors who only know how to run, Tuguhun has developed a lot of research on the escape!
In the past, they only focused on running themselves, and sometimes even the cattle and sheep were thrown to the enemy!
Nowadays, Tuguhun can not only bring cattle and sheep's family to run away, but also have time to burn the pasture! Even if the enemy comes here, they will not get any supplies!
Without supplies, the enemy cannot stay for a long time. In this way, their withdrawal speed is obviously much faster than before!
And the burned pasture doesn't matter.
There is a saying that wildfires cannot be burned, and the spring breeze will grow again!
In the second year, they can still come to herd and sing and live their free and happy days.
