The entrance is like a fire, and the belly is like a fire.
The first bowl will burn the abdomen, the second bowl will burn the blood, and the third bowl will burn the body.
After four bowls, I feel like I have become an immortal. I feel like I have become an immortal.
The minced pork meat is alternately fat and lean. After frying, it is put into the baked pancake. When you bite it, your mouth will be full of oil. It is oily but not greasy. It is really delicious.
Pair it with a mouthful of snow on fire.
The days of gods never change.
"ha!"
The leader of the tribe, Wu Niu, exhaled the breath of alcohol and felt how beautiful this place was.
If he hadn't met the Han steward in front of him for the first time today, he would have wanted to become a brother with him because he had given him so many benefits.
"You are much better than the Han people in the east. We will continue to come here next year."
The translators also drank a lot, and some of them opened their tongues to translate for Wu Niu.
He extended his thumb and said, "It would be great if the Han people there were like you. In that case, we wouldn't have to work so hard to travel such a long way here."
Xu You smiled slightly, then shook his head and said:
"Well, actually we also want to go there, but the people over there are not the same as us."
"We all call them Wei thieves. They are mortal enemies of us and they will not let us pass."
As he spoke, he poured more wine for the two of them, and then shook the wine jar to indicate that it was empty.
Wu Niu nodded, sighed regretfully, mumbled something again, and took a cherished sip of wine.
The translator said:
"We have also heard that you have been at war with them these years."
"In the early years, Kebineng was still in the east and often fought with them."
"We also know that the tribes here used to obey their orders and often fought with Kebi Neng."
When Xu You heard the other party mention Kebineng, his eyes flashed, and he asked seemingly casually:
"In those years when Kebi Neng was driven to the west by the Wei people, what happened to the tribes that remained in the east?"
"What else can we do? Some people will take orders from Wei again, Wei thieves?"
With the benefit, the translator quickly followed the Romans and changed the name:
"What's more, the tribes are fighting each other day and night. Every day, tribes disappear and many tribes appear."
When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"The Gaoche people further north also took the opportunity to keep going south and continue to rob our pastures."
"High-car man?"
"They are the Dingling people in the northernmost part of the desert. They like to use tall vehicles to pull things, so they are also called high vehicles."
Xu You nodded, indicating that he understood.
After all, Xu Jing was also Ji Han's first Situ. As Xu Jing's grandson, Xu You naturally still had this knowledge.
During the Han Dynasty, Su Wu was herding sheep on the Beihai side and had no food to eat. He could only dig holes for wild rats and rob the fruits stored by the rats.
Later, King Yu of the Huns went hunting in Beihai. After seeing Su Wu, he admired him very much and gave him food and clothing.
Unexpectedly, not long after the good times, King Yu Qian died of illness, and Su Wu had no shelter. The Ding Ling people took the opportunity to steal all Su Wu's cattle and sheep in winter, causing him to almost freeze to death and starve to death.
In other words, the Dingling people have been living in the Beihai area since the time of the Han Dynasty.
As a son of the Han Dynasty, how could Xu You not know this period of history?
So he looked outside thoughtfully and suddenly asked:
"So you big black cows actually got them from the Dingling people who went south, right?"
Wu Niu and the translator were immediately shocked:
"How do you know, my lord?"
Xu You smiled and said nothing.
At the same time, he said with contempt in his heart:
You Hu Yi people don’t even have writing, so how can you know the long history of the Han family?
Seeing Xu You's inscrutable appearance, Wu Newton felt a sense of awe in his heart, only knowing that the other party knew everything about him through unknown means.
Then he said some more words.
The translator continued:
"I dare not hide it from your lord, these big black cattle were indeed obtained by us from the Ding Ling people who went south."
"To the north where they are, there is a kind of bison. They are tall, big, and very strong. They have lived in the ice and snow since they were young, so they are very cold-resistant."
"Those Dingling people, when spring comes, let out their own cows to lure wild bulls to come and breed with them."
"The ox that is born is this kind of big black cow. This kind of big black cow is very strong. The Gaocha people use this kind of big black cow to pull the carts of their tribe, and they can pull a lot of things."
This makes sense.
Xu You was thoughtful again, and he remembered something:
I heard that when the leader came to inspect Bingzhou, he mentioned the high-speed carriage.
But at that time, I only heard about it from the mouths of Xianbei people, and no one had seen it with my own eyes.
Now these big black cows can be regarded as indirect evidence.
The Hu people in the desert grasslands of the north are just like what the leader said. Once a crop of leeks is cut, another crop will pop up in an endless stream.
But Xu You's focus was not on this.
After all, to deal with the barbarians, ah, I mean, how to educate the barbarians, the Han Dynasty now has a very mature process.
It's both convenient and efficient.
What Xu You is thinking is:
I remember that when Hui Shou came out of the mountain, many people thought that he or his disciples had a deep hatred against the Nanzhong Yi people, so they came up with such a vicious plan of labor trading.
It is precisely because of this idea that it is not difficult for everyone to understand that the leader knows that the legendary Linyi has a good rice.
But now, the leader seems to know the northern barbarians very well!
Otherwise, how could Huishou make a large vehicle that is convenient for driving on the grassland?
These carts are said to be quite similar to the carts used in high-rise vehicles.
If Huishou hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he suddenly do it?
That is the North Sea, the legendary North Sea.
The leader of the meeting, or his disciples, would not have any hatred against the Hu Yi from the extreme south to the extreme north, right?
how did you do that?
Xu You's thoughts were racing, but the translator, probably a little drunk, was still talking:
"Once these high-carriage men arrive, the disputes in the desert will become even more chaotic. Alas, I don't know when it will end."
…
When Xu You heard this, his heart moved. He suppressed his guess about the meeting leader and smiled politely:
"Don't you care about the Wei people over there?"
"It was better in the first two years. If there was a big commotion on the border, they would send people over to warn us."
As he spoke, the translator shook his head:
"It has become increasingly difficult in the past two years. They only want horses from us and don't care about anything else."
"Then why don't you sell it to them?" Xu You had a curious look on his face, "I remember, isn't it possible to go south directly to trade with the Wei people on the other side of Danhan Mountain?"
Where is Danhan Mountain?
That was where the royal court of Xianbei King Tanshihuai, the hero of the desert, was located, who single-handedly unified the grasslands and wiped out the three armies of the Han Dynasty.
Why did Tanshihuai set up his royal court in Danhan Mountain?
Because Danhan Mountain goes east, you can control Youzhou and Liaodong.
Going west, you can threaten Bingzhou and then control Jiuyuan.
The most important thing is that to the south of Danhan Mountain is the intersection of the Yinshan Mountains, Yanshan Mountains and Taihang Mountains.
Therefore, the mountains in this area are low and there are many mountain passes, allowing the cavalry to easily cross the mountains and lead directly to the Hebei Plain.
This area is Dai County and Shanggu County, and it is also the place where the Central Plains regimes of all dynasties clashed with the northern nomads.
The most famous pass among them is Juyong Pass.
However, Juyongguan is not enough to ensure the security of Youzhou County and Ji County.
Because even more than a thousand years later, the Ming Dynasty of later generations could not stop the northern cavalry even though they spent countless money and food to build the three inner passes and garrisoned heavy troops.
Later Jin Dynasty repeatedly bypassed Juyong Pass and plundered the prefectures and counties around Kyoto.
Once the cavalry enters the endless fertile land of Hebei, they can gallop around at will.
The famous Tumu Fort Incident in history also happened not far north of Juyongguan.
Then the Oara army took advantage of the victory and moved south, easily crossing the fortresses in the Juyong Pass area and approaching the walls of Kyoto.
Therefore, just like defending the Huai River to defend the Yangtze River, if you want the pass with Juyong Pass as the main hub to be effective, you must first defend the Guangning City in the north guarding the mountain pass.
This requires close cooperation between the various gates and gates, which is a great test of the tacit understanding of the defenders everywhere.
Otherwise, if there is a mistake in one place, it will form a chain reaction and there will be loopholes everywhere.
Otherwise, just like the Han and Tang Dynasties, they could simply take the initiative and send troops outside the fortress, using it as a battlefield so that the enemy would have no chance to attack the border fortress.
Since Ke Bi Neng was driven to Jiuyuan, the northern border of Youzhou has become much peaceful, at least for the Wei State.
Logically speaking, if the Wei State wanted to buy horses from the Hu people, then Guangning City, facing the northern desert, would be one of the best trading places.
For someone like Wu Niu, who would rather go a long way from Danhan to Pingcheng than be close by, it is not a priority.
"Actually, we originally wanted to go south and sell these livestock to the Wei people."
The translator explained, "But I don't know what happened. I heard that a tribe came from nowhere in the Guangning City area."
"They were entrenched in the mountains. Not only did they often attack the tribes who went south to trade, they even defeated the Wei troops transporting horses from Guangning City to the fortress."
"They come and go like the wind, they are extremely fierce, we can't defeat them at all..."
At this point, the translator seemed a little embarrassed and coughed:
"But now that I think about it, we are lucky to have them, which makes us want to try our luck here."
Xu You didn't change his expression when he heard the translator's words. He didn't know whether he didn't mind or didn't realize there was anything wrong with it.
He just asked:
"What about the Wei thieves in the south? Their horses were robbed? Should we just ignore them?"
The translator shook his head: "Then we don't know. But we heard that the Wei thieves in the south sent people to look for them, but there should be no results."
"Otherwise, that road wouldn't be impassable until now..."
When Xu You heard this, he smiled and said nothing.
If there is a secret passage, there will be ghosts.
No, even if it is passable, there are still ghosts.
The ghost of the ghost king.
Pingcheng is to the west, and Guangning is to the northeast of Pingcheng.
The two places are separated by the remaining veins of Yinshan Mountain and Yanshan Mountain.
But as mentioned before, the area from Guangning to Juyong is located at the intersection of the Yinshan Mountains, Yanshan Mountains and Taihang Mountains, so the mountains are low.
Therefore, starting from Pingcheng, the cavalry can easily reach the rear of Guangning City and directly cut off the connection between Guangning City and Juyongguan.
Going north, you can plunder the area around Guangning City.
Going south, you can pass through Junduxing, one of the eight passes in Taihang, and go straight to Juyong Pass.
Facing the elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty led by Liu Hun, let alone the barbarians on the grassland.
Even for the Wei thieves stationed in the Juyong Pass, as long as they have the courage to come out from Juyong Pass, Liu Hun can teach them how to behave.
The Youzhou of today is not the Youzhou of the past.
Sima Yi retreated to the Central Plains and did not care about the life and death of Jizhou and Youzhou. Of course, he did not have the right to issue orders to the two states for the time being.
As for Cao Shuang, who had a great reputation, his ability was insufficient. In addition, Hebei was too far away from Xuchang, and there was Sizhou occupied by Sima Yi in between.
Therefore, the land of Hebei is not his focus at all.
Now, he only thinks about how to recruit the armies in the Jianghuai and Jingzhou areas to compete with Sima Yi, who has a heavy army.
Therefore, as long as Liu Hun himself did not seek death, he would lead his cavalry to attack important pass cities such as Guangning City or Juyong Pass.
Coupled with the material support from Pingcheng, no one from Guangning City to Juyongguan can be his opponent.
At the same time, this is one of the reasons why Feng Youqi must rebuild Pingcheng.
The Datong Basin is full of coal, but Pingcheng's geographical location is extremely important.
Leaving the desert in the north, connecting Jiuyuan in the west, and controlling the military capital in the east, we are ready to break Juyong Pass and capture Hebei at any time.
Listening patiently to the complaints of Wu Niu and the translator, Xu You had a sympathetic expression on his face.
Then he said to them:
"My friends, you now know that you can get a better price here. I believe that even if that road is opened in the future, you will never trade with the Wei people again, right?"
Wu Niu nodded, said something, and then drank the wine in the bowl.
"Dear Sir, this is natural. No one would want to have trouble with these food and clothing."
"You're so right! Which one of us does business not to make more money and food? This really resonates with me!"
Xu You patted his thigh, then sighed:
"To tell you the truth, I thought that by offering such a high price, I thought I would be able to collect a lot of livestock this year."
As he said that, he shook his head, "I didn't expect...ah!"
He looked at the two people opposite him again and begged:
"So I have a grudging request here. I would like to ask you two for a favor."
Wu Niu got a lot of benefits today, and was treated to food and drinks by Xu You. After drinking so much, he wished he could treat Xu You as his own brother.
No matter what kind of help Xu You wanted, he just agreed loudly and patted his chest.
"Actually, this matter is very simple. I just ask you two to go back to Danhan Mountain and talk about the situation here."
"If more people come here next year," Xu You thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "Well, if you can get more people to come over and trade."
"As long as they tell me your name, every time they sell me a war horse or a big black cow, I can give you a piece of wool for free."
One war horse has twenty pieces of wool, and the commission is five percent, which is not high.
But Wu Niu is obviously not very good at arithmetic.
When he heard Xu You's words, his eyes, which were already a little drunk, suddenly lit up. He, who was not good at speaking Chinese, could actually pronounce the words clearly:
"Free gift?"
Xu You nodded: "Yes, it's free. No matter what method you use, as long as you can get them to come to me to sell war horses, I can give you an extra horse for free."
"Where's the sheep?"
Xu You shook his head: "We don't want sheep. We only need war horses and big black oxen. Ordinary horses and oxen will not do."
Although the conditions are a bit harsh, but...
"no problem!"
PS: In the Ming Dynasty, there were three internal and external barriers to prevent grassland.
The outer three passes refer to the three passes centered on Datong, which are now in the hands of Ji Han.
The Neisan Pass refers to the three passes with Juyong Pass as the focus, currently within the scope of Youzhou.
