Jun Ci chose to attack Rouran on the eve of the war for three reasons:
First, at this time, other tribes in Beizhen were influenced by Beizhen and were all watching closely when the empress would give birth. As long as she was quick enough, she could capture Rouran before Gao Xun could react.
This laid the foundation for a two-sided attack on Beizhen later, and also prevented Rouran from taking advantage of the situation after she went to war with Beizhen.
Secondly, Jun Ci's Zhenbei Army began to take shape during her cruel training. Jun Ci also took them deep into the jungle to hunt tigers and bears in autumn. They were able to adapt to the bloodshed, but they still couldn't handle real killings.
There will be hesitation.
If Su Ru led them against the Shangbei Town army, they would probably suffer heavy losses.
The first attack on Rouran is different. They were born outside Beizhen. Like the people on the border of Donghu in Mobei, they are used to the burning, killing and looting of Rouran. Although because of the obstruction of Beizhen, they are safer than the people on the border of Donghu.
.
But my race must have different hearts. The people they faced in the first battle were Rouran, not their compatriots, let alone the famous Beizhen Sixth Army. Not only did they lack the fear of the Beizhen Sixth Army in their hearts, but they also
The hatred for Rouran can inspire more courage.
Only when they actually survive the battle with Rouran and win, will they be qualified to fight against the Sixth Army of Beizhen.
Thirdly, for a long time to come, Beizhen as the center will be the foundation of Jun Ci. What she has to support is not only her army, but also the people of the six towns. She needs a clean land to supply her.
, after much deliberation she chose Rouran.
In the eyes of the world, Rouran is a desolate, barren and uneducated place. However, looking back thousands of years, where are these aristocratic families and how many poems, books and etiquette have they done?
Where is the wasteland?
After she takes Rouran, builds the city, and cultivates fields, why worry that it cannot be transformed into a fertile land?
The most important thing is that Rouran controls the trade routes between the Northern Dynasty and the Western Regions. If this place can be pacified and Lin Zhihuan is here, she will have no worries about money in the future!
"It's okay if you guys are here." Jun Ci glanced at several people, "Follow me into the tent."
The Zhenbei Army was all recruited from refugees, and among them there were also those whose families were in decline. They were all in the minority. In terms of knowledge and leadership skills, it was not as good as strengthening the body. If you work day and night, you will be able to achieve results in March and May.
Qin Xiao and the others arrived at just the right time, and Jun Ci quickly arranged them to the highest positions.
The Zhenbei Army was like a blank piece of paper, not yet influenced by power. Besides being curious about the officers who suddenly landed, they were worried that Qin Xiao and the others would not get along with them. They came from the common people, and their greatest advantages were simplicity and hard work.
He Lianyue gave Jun Ci 30,000 people, but in the end he left less than 20,000 people. Some gave up midway, some were unqualified, and some refused to report because they were afraid of being sent back and died suddenly from overwork.
There were more than 10,000 people, and about ten people died. Most of them were sent away after receiving a bag of grain.
"Tonight I will sneak into Rouran with the caravan..." Jun Ci told Qin Xiao and others about his battle plan in detail.
She was able to develop so smoothly in Beizhen, and the one she was most grateful for was Chu Shange.
Chu Shange concealed her identity very well, so that she could be easily fooled even if she was absent for a long time. Even if she occasionally harbored suspicions, Chu Shange could get over it for her as soon as possible.
The contact with Rouran also started with Chu Shange. She became famous after coming here for a few months. One day, she happened to meet several famous girls from Rouran. Their status was not low and they were nobles of Rouran.
So they hit the road. Chu Shange thought of some of Rouran's medicinal materials, furs and other items, so he discussed with Jun Ci whether they should take advantage of convenience. Although they wouldn't make much money by selling them in Beizhen, if they could transport them,
To the Southern Dynasties...
She herself was from the Southern Dynasties, so she naturally knew the value of these things in the Southern Dynasties.
Jun Ci immediately thought of Lin Zhihuan, who was worried that he could not save more money before troubled times came...
Lin Zhihuan immediately brought many things from the Southern and even Northern Dynasties, and Chu Shange relied on the introduction of these girls to cross Beizhen and communicate with Rouran for half a year.
Among them, Chu Shange and Jun Ci also put in a lot of effort, otherwise the distance between the two places would be so great that they would have to make two trips at most.
Jun Ci also took advantage of this opportunity to get to know Rouran in depth. She had an estimate of the rough military strength. Jun Ci also lurked at night to map out the royal court of the Rouran tribe. She unfolded the map to Qin Xiao and others.
"After entering, I will avoid the patrols and assassinate Rouran Khan. The Zhenbei Army, which I have already sent lurking outside Rouran, will launch an attack..." Jun Ci's fingertips traced several arrows on her
Moving up, "Qin Xiao, Wu Zheng, and Zhao Chun, you three will each lead 500 people and make a surprise attack from these three directions. Gather towards me. Lan An and Xiao Liu will follow the caravan in with me."
"General, your Majesty will be in action tomorrow. It will take two days at the fastest for the news to be sent back to Beizhen." Qin Xiao had a concern, "We start tonight, even if we are far away from here, the news should be sent back within one day.
The Gao family will definitely guess that the general is using troops against Rouran, how can he sit back and watch the general take Rouran into his pocket?"
The Gao family will not know about the great changes in the court until tomorrow at the earliest. If he knows that Jun Ci has touched Rouran tomorrow, he will definitely cause trouble!
Jun Ci smiled when he heard this: "He doesn't have this chance."
After not seeing each other for a year, the girl's eyebrows became more profound, but she was still the strategizing general.
Qin Xiao didn't get to the bottom of it. He just put forward his thoughts and concerns. It would be better if Jun Ci didn't ignore them.
Jun Ci took Lan An and Xiao Liu back to the pharmacy, where they were going to act as bodyguards along with the caravan trading with Rouran.
"Alang!" When Jun Ci was about to set off, Chu Shange stopped her, stepped forward, took Jun Ci aside, and handed Jun Ci a small bag the size of a palm, "This is a tool that can save your life in critical moments.
Pills, wear them on you."
At the beginning of the new year, the cold wind in the Northland is biting, and under the deep night, the wind and snow sweep across.
The girl in front of her was wrapped in a thick leather robe. The fluff on her hat caught the broken snow and surrounded her smooth forehead, exposing half of her face.
There are no stars in the cold winter, but there are her eyes, which are brighter than the stars.
Jun Ci looked down at Chu Shange. She was speechless for the first time.
She vaguely understood Chu Shange's feelings for her. She didn't know how Chu Shange ended up here, but after she rescued Chu Shange, Chu Shange only brought a small cloth bag from the bandits.
There are a few gold leaves and a wax pill in the cloth bag.
She would often take out the wax pill and look at it in trance. One time when she happened to meet Jun Ci, she mentioned that the wax pill belonged to her mother-in-law and there was a precious pill sealed inside.
"Shanfan..." Jun Ci called Chu Shange by his nickname, "I am..."
She wanted to tell Chu Shange who she was, but thinking of Chu Shange's reliance on her after meeting her, Jun Ci paused. She knew that continuing to hide it would only cause deeper misunderstandings.
