10. There will always be some troubles along the way (3)
Although the Huns, especially Marquis Xubu Gudu, were so angry that their teeth were itching, there was really nothing they could do against Li Shushi.
First of all, it was not the Xiongnu chanyu whom Li Shushi killed, nor even him, the Xubu Guduhou who had a position in the Xiongnu. In other words, this could only be regarded as a personal conflict at best. Secondly, it was a turn of events. Although this was the sphere of influence of the Huns,
But it is the territory of the Han people. Any Huns can attack a county prefect in Han territory, and he is also the prefect of the local county.
He also planned to rob other people's family members. The Han Dynasty was not a late dynasty that could not speak when meeting foreigners. This waist would definitely support Li Shushi. Finally, there was pressure from the Shanyu-Youxian King line, which made Li Shushi
King Zuo Xian and his family could only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, because King Zuo Xian was also afraid that he would seek revenge on Li Shushi on the front foot, and would be flanked by King You Xian and Xihe on the back foot.
As for sending clan masters to assassinate and take revenge? Xubu Guduhou wanted to do this, but Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and others were all famous in Xihe after the Xianbei battle. Xubu Guduhou thought that the average strength of the Huns was high.
Compared with the Han people, they are not so confident in their high-end combat power. After all, they are the Xianbei people who are very aggressive, and even the Huns have no confidence in them.
Therefore, Xubu Gudu Houchenut could only bury his resentment deep in his heart and wait for a chance to take revenge.
As for Li Shushi, it was precisely because he knew about the disputes within the Xiongnu, and because the other party was a descendant of the Xiongnu hawks, that he decided to take this deadly step. Anyway, the two sides had irreconcilable conflicts, so Li Shushi didn't mind taking a good deal.
Using this little kid with no status to establish his authority would at least make the Huns, whose power has grown somewhat after wiping out the Jie people, restrain themselves a little.
After leaving the county seat of Yuanyin County, Li Shushi and his party basically arrived at the border area between Xihe and Shangjun. At the same time, they were also very close to the important county section of the Great Wall defense line in the north. Going west along the Great Wall defense line, you can find something that Su Xiaoluoli is very interested in.
Kucha is a vassal state.
Kucha County can also become a vassal state of Kucha. It is not the Kucha Kingdom on the Silk Road in the Western Regions, but the Kucha Kingdom that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to contact after opening up the Western Regions. They were opposed to uniting with the Xiongnu but were unable to overthrow Kucha.
A tribe ruled by a king.
Although their strength was very weak, their political significance was very great, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved the attached Kucha tribe to 15 kilometers north of Yulin City (the ancient city beach in Yuyang District), and established the jurisdiction of the "Capital of the Shangjun State" under the jurisdiction of the Kucha tribe.
The Zi people call it Qiuci County.
The vassal state is a special way for the country to resettle ethnic minorities who have submitted to the imperial court. It began in the Warring States Period and was called a vassal state during the Qin Dynasty. However, in the Han Dynasty, it was renamed a vassal state to avoid the taboo of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. It usually demarcates an area within a certain geographical scope and specializes it.
It is a place for foreigners who belong to them to live and live. The foreigners living here can basically maintain their own ethnic customs, and the government generally does not interfere in this.
The sizes of vassal states vary, mainly depending on the number of vassal foreigners. The larger ones have five or six cities, and the smaller ones have one or two cities. Large counties are divided into outlying counties and set up vassal states. For example, the eastern and western part of Liao Dynasty is ruled by the captain of the Liaodong vassal state;
The vassal state is placed within the county and does not have a separate name. The most typical case is the vassal state of Qiuci where Li Shushi is about to go. People are still accustomed to calling it Qiuci County.
The form of the vassal state is very similar to the self-government system of the Celestial Dynasty, but it is slightly different. The highest administrator of the vassal state is usually a Han Chinese, and his name is the vassal captain. His salary is two thousand dan, which is the same as the county captain's salary, but his powers are
Shang Que and Jun Tai
That is to say, regardless of the size of the vassal state, the administrative level is equivalent to that of the county. Even if there is only one county like the vassal state of Qiuci, surrounded by the territory of Shangjun, its highest officer, the captain of the vassal state of Shangjun, at most needs to obey the prefect of Shangjun.
Just dispatching.
However, before arriving in Qiuci County, Li Shushi still had to climb mountains and wading through mountains and rivers to reach the peachland resort.
"Tamako-chan, why does the wind feel so cold today? It must be May already, so the weather has warmed up."
A burst of mountain mist blew by, and Li Shushi couldn't help but tighten the clothes wrapped around him. However, this burst of mountain mist, which was not cold at first, made Li Shushi feel like he was trembling all over. Although he didn't know if it was his imagination, Li Shushi still planned to go to the quilt.
Li Shushi asked Su Xiaoluoli, who was named Doraemon.
"It's not the weather. I'm afraid we were targeted. Being able to exude such murderous aura shows that the other party is not an ordinary person. But then again, even if the weather is very cold, a fool like you won't
You have a cold, right?"
"You're calling me an idiot, you're calling me an idiot. Besides, it's not like we haven't had colds before, and you cured them yourself!"
"Eh? Is this really like this?" Su Xiaololi clapped her hands as if she suddenly realized it, "So that's it. A child who was quite smart when we first met has now turned into a fool. My life is so miserable... sobbing
Sniffling..."
The little fight instantly dispelled the strange feeling that Li Shushi had felt. Of course, the more important reason is the environment here and the strength of his own team - the opponent's few men, Li Shushi's men can completely eat up the opponent's people.
If it's more, as long as the strength is not too strong and Su Xiaoluoli, a powerful wet nurse, is there, there is no need to worry. As for the opponent's strength exceeding Li Shushi's ability to withstand it, flying a kite in such a rough place is not a bad choice.
"Lord, please allow me to interrupt." Seeing Li Shushi nod, the leader of the team, Cao Xing, looked around cautiously as if he was afraid of disturbing anything and whispered: "Lord, my subordinates feel that we are indeed being targeted.
, but I’m afraid the enemy is not human beings, but some kind of wild beasts living in the mountains and forests. Last winter and this spring, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. Those wild beasts are probably hungry due to lack of food. Even if they know that they are no match for a large group of people like us, they will let go.
Fighting."
"Beasts, that's really troublesome. If it's a few tigers, it's fine, but if it's a pack of wolves, it's going to be troublesome. Naturally, don't send out scouts tonight. Let's gather together and light more fires.
In addition, Wen Qiao, please bring some people to guard the war horses. Don't make any losses, otherwise you will be in trouble later. It is very hard to travel on two legs."
"Beasts, a lot of animal meat is very good food. But how much is left after being hungry all winter?"
Su Xiaoluoli next to Li Shushi seemed to have awakened the soul of cooking in her body. Although Su Xiaoluoli's products must be of high quality, good ingredients cannot make more delicious food, so the morale of Li Shushi and the soldiers around him was immediately full.
That night, a tense atmosphere suddenly arose in the originally relaxed team. Although the generals arranged rotations and various sentries, for most people in Li Shushi's army, the news of the beast's attack still made them a little nervous.
Excited.
After all, many soldiers, especially those living in cities, have basically never heard of the word beast, and have never even seen the corpses of people who died due to wild beast attacks. Although they have been on the battlefield and seen blood,
But for unknown creatures, especially the legendary ferocious and powerful tigers, wild wolves, and giant bears, they are basically not less scary than the Xianbei people.
Of course, although most people are a little nervous, they are more excited. After all, they have chewed down the hard-to-gnaw Xianbei people. These beasts must not be more difficult to deal with than the Xianbei people. However, no matter how excited they are, they are gearing up.
It didn't matter whether they were afraid or worried. Anyway, various thoughts were constantly flashing in the minds of these soldiers.
This result directly led to large-scale insomnia among Li Shushi's troops. However, because everyone was in good spirits before, no problem could be seen for the time being, but Li Shushi and the generals were worried about it.
Why? Because those beasts did not appear at all last night, and the permeating feeling today has not been eliminated. What does this mean? It shows that the opponent is very cunning and good at forbearing. Even if the delicious food is close in front of you, even if you are already hungry
The hunger in Kongkong was unbearable, but facing Li Shushi's troops, who were heavily guarded and outnumbered, they were not weak at first glance, but they were able to make the most appropriate arrangements and wait patiently instead of rushing to attack.
You must know that whether it is a war or a game, the attacking side always has the first move advantage, so for the defensive side to offset the attacking side's first move advantage, it must lure the attacking side into a battlefield that has been preset by itself or is more beneficial to itself.
Just like the war against Xianbei that just ended. Although the Xianbei people had strong strength and were on the offensive side, because their goals were too clear, Li Shushi had the opportunity to calmly deploy the entire defense line and defensive strategy, and finally succeeded.
But now, the situation is completely different. Now Li Shushi and his party are located in the mountainous area near the Great Wall border fortress in Shangjun. This area is rarely visited even by the Xihe Li family's caravan, and it is even more unfamiliar to Li Shushi and his party.
, this makes Li Shushi dare not launch an attack to solve the unknown hidden danger. Therefore, the unknown beast already has an absolute home field advantage, and they can unscrupulously choose the right time and place to launch a battle in which they have the advantage.
Because of this, Li Shushi could only choose to defend. Although it was helpless, it was a fact that could not be changed no matter what.
"It seems that we are in trouble. The other party is trying to drag us down before they start."
Regarding this situation, Li Shushi was a little worried. It is said that only a thousand days of being a thief does not mean a thousand days of guarding against thieves. And Li Shushi's idea could also be thought of by other generals, so the whole team felt a little gloomy and gloomy for a while.
"My lord is indeed right, but it's not a bad thing if you think about it from another aspect. Speaking of which, although our army has been in force for more than a year, when fighting the enemy, we either rely on fortified defenses or sneak attacks on the enemy in the early stages of the battlefield.
Gained a greater advantage. A real tough face-to-face battle
Perhaps the only battles were the Yellow Turban Army that faced Sun Wentai below Changshe City and the Yellow Turban Army that faced Han Zhong below Wancheng City. Let’s not mention that Han Zhong was like a lost dog at that time. If Fengxian hadn’t restrained Sun Wentai and several of his generals, I’m afraid we would have fought
The losses suffered will be far greater than the initial losses."
"This, Zi Chuan, that, just say what you want to say. We know our own level well, so feel free to criticize and correct us. We can bear it."
"You have a great attitude for admitting your mistakes, but you never change your ways despite repeated admonitions." This was the teasing voice of a certain lolita, which made Li Shushi, who was originally acting upright and awe-inspiring, immediately feel guilty.
"Madam, there is no need to be like this. We all see the progress of our lord." Regarding the couple's (?) affair, Wei Yue directly chose to ignore it. He coughed lightly and returned everyone's attention.
After being attracted back, he continued.
"What I want to say more than anything is that our soldiers lack the confidence to challenge powerful enemies. Although the battle against Xianbei gave our soldiers some pride and confidence, judging from the situation last night, it is obvious that everyone and the real
There is a big gap between the two powerful armies, especially in terms of mentality, which cannot be immune or basically immune to interference from foreign objects."
Everyone agreed with Wei Yue's comments. After all, even the two junior guys Le Jin and Liao Chun were a little excited last night, not to mention the soldiers?
"So this is not only a test, but also an opportunity for everyone to grow. We have to face a cunning opponent. If we are led by the other party's nose like this, we will inevitably suffer great losses, but if
If we can overcome the fluctuations in our hearts and have a normal mind, then we will have the mentality of a strong army."
Sure enough, the actions of experienced generals are different. Li Shushi and the generals around him looked at Wei Yue, a guy who was not usually very impressive, with admiration in their eyes.
p.s. I watched the Dalian Derby today, so there is only one update. Speaking of which, I will be streaking again next week, can you relax a little? A very cute character will appear next ~ Of course, I have no plans to include it*
*That’s it (probably), anyone who is interested can take a guess.
