"You won't really let me go alone." Zhang Fei said with a wry smile.
"If you want to become a famous general, you can't get around this road. Don't you want to help Duke Xuande support the Han Dynasty?" Chen Xi stared at Zhang Fei and said, "You are Zhang Yide who is not afraid of heaven and earth!"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and did not answer the question. It was precisely because he knew his abilities that he was so cautious. The attack on the Hu people in the north next year would definitely be a very brutal war. Therefore, once he becomes the head coach, the responsibilities he shoulders will be very great.
It's so important that the barbarians in northern Xinjiang will be fighting for their survival!
Although the princes of the Central Plains basically scorned the fighting power of the Hu people, quantity over quality makes sense in any case. This heavy snow delayed the invasion of most of northern Xinjiang, but
It also made the Hu people, who were already short of food, even more food-deficient.
I'm afraid that by the beginning of next spring, the barbarians will be as crazy as the hungry blue-eyed wild wolves on the grassland. They don't need any reason at all, and they may even launch a full-scale attack before the ice and snow have completely melted.
After all, they have two arms and one head. After being extremely hungry, the barbarian has lost all fear. The fighting power that bursts out in one moment must not be underestimated.
In fact, selling grain to the Hu people at this time and provoking a war between the Hu people is the best choice. Unfortunately, the snow in northern Xinjiang is really more than Chen Xi expected, and the roads are basically sealed. Even in the plains,
There was no way to determine the location. Several intelligence officers sent by Jia Xu to investigate had perished in the snowfield because they could not distinguish the location and day and night.
This was also the first time Chen Xi had an idea of blizzards. The snow in Northern Xinjiang was so heavy that it was hard to tell the difference between day and night. Whenever he looked up, the sky was gray, with ice and snowflakes flying all the time, and there was even no snow.
When it snows, the strong wind also brings ice slag from afar, which is endless. To the north of Youzhou, the whole area is gray and endless falling snow!
Jia Xu had told Chen Xi before that based on his experience, in this heavy snowfall, more than 100,000 barbarians in northern Xinjiang would freeze to death and starve to death, but there would definitely be a massive southward raid in the next year.
Different from small-scale plundering, the plundering caused by this level of heavy snow is close to death madness. Even if the Hu people fail, they will grit their teeth and fight to the death, or get enough supplies, or reduce the population.
to the extent that the supply is sufficient.
It is an extremely cruel and bloody way, but the Hu people in northern Xinjiang have relied on this method to survive crisis after crisis and avoid the annihilation of the country. And it is precisely under the stimulation of that cruel and bloody way that the fighting power of the Hu people will reach
Another height, or rather the danger of genocide blinded fear.
Speaking of which, when Jia Xu told Chen Xi about this, Chen Xi was still a little dissatisfied. Living in this era, Chen Xi, who has always been a leader, naturally believed that his eyes had seen through history, and there could be no major events that could deceive him. But as Jia Xu
Xu's narration, Chen Xi finally realized that he did not reach the point of seeing everything.
Compared with his own impression of the subtleties of history, Chen Xi believed more in old foxes like Jia Xu. This guy had never had any bad luck in his life. He had done a lot of bad things and finally became the Three Dukes. You must know that in addition to the Three Dukes of the Han Dynasty,
The requirement for a title is reputation. Jia Xu tricked the Han Dynasty many times, but in the end nothing happened. Chen Xi had to accept his ability.
Following Jia Xu's explanation, Chen Xi had a certain understanding of the cruel and bloody method of reduction described by Jia Xu. To put it bluntly, this is the way of survival of the fittest among the barbarians in northern Xinjiang.
A heavy snowfall is enough to deprive all tribes of food. All the Hu people in the north will be waiting until the snow stops and the road appears. After the road in the north reaches the level of marching, all the barbarians will migrate collectively.
The small tribes merged into the large tribes, and the large tribes followed the royal court and launched a mighty attack on the Great Wall. Unlike the coordinated operations between large tribes like in Dacao Valley, a battle of this scale would affect almost the entire northern Xinjiang.
Either grab enough food, or kill the tribe's population until the looted food is enough to eat, it's that simple and bloody.
After listening to Jia Xu's narration, Chen Xi's first reaction was neither shock nor fear. Even if the barbarians from northern Xinjiang were to move south en masse, Liu Bei would not be able to stop him. If internal construction was to stagnate, Liu Bei would be able to break out.
The combat power is definitely enough to suppress all the barbarians in northern Xinjiang.
Chen Xi's first reaction was whether this happened at this time in history. If not, what caused the climate change? This is not something that his personal activities can interfere with. Of course, it may also be a side effect of his spiritual talent.
, but Chen Xi soon ruled this out.
This time in history, the invasion of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang may have really happened, because when Chen Xi was thinking, he suddenly remembered the difference between the map of the Three Kingdoms and the map of the late Han Dynasty. To the north of Bingzhou in the map of the Three Kingdoms, the closest distance to Chang'an was only a hundred miles, while
The map of the late Han Dynasty included the Hetao Plain.
In other words, during the Three Kingdoms period, Bingzhou was basically gone, and Chang'an was basically under the attack of the Hu people. This can also explain why Chang'an is further away from Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao still wants to move Liu Xie to Chenliu, which is farther away from his enemy Yuan Shao.
Close place, because at this time the Hu people were already close to Chang'an.
Thinking about the time again, it seemed that it was about this time, and shortly afterwards it was Ju Yi and the Xiongnu. Xianbei had a fight to the west of Yecheng. Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised when he thought about where Yecheng was.
By that time, the Hu people had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.
Combining the two, Chen Xi discovered a fact that horrified him. By the beginning of next year, the Hu people, whom he had always regarded as nothing, pushed the front line to a place not far from Sili, Yongzhou.
This is like seeing a ghost. Although Bingzhou was half-dead by Yuan Shao in history, and Lu Bu never returned to Bingzhou, he would not be beaten like this by the barbarians. This is simply unscientific!
Of course, Chen Xi is not a fool who denies history. On the contrary, he is very smart. Since this kind of thing can happen, it means that the Hu people have shown combat effectiveness far beyond imagination. Otherwise, they would not have pushed the front to Yongzhou a hundred miles away.
This situation can only mean that the soldiers guarding the border in Bingzhou were defeated.
Similarly, Chen Xi had some guesses as to what the combat effectiveness of the enemies in northern Xinjiang was. Even Chen Xi could guess which barbarians would be joining forces and even commanding the invasion southward!
No, that tribe should no longer be derided as barbarians, because it was once an empire, the king of the grasslands that had lasted for more than two hundred years and still had a fight with the Han Empire thirty years ago - the North
