The first thousand and twenty-two chapters for the dead ghost (1)
Nanchi.?<[?〔<]
Even after two years had passed since it was looted by the Han army, the place still had not recovered.
On the vast grassland, there are only tens of thousands of herdsmen grazing in lakes and wetlands with a radius of hundreds of miles.
The scattered livestock amounted to only a million.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Hujie people are not good at herding.
They prefer farming.
Unfortunately, this Nanchi is not suitable for farming.
Although there are abundant water resources here, the sandstorms are too strong and the soil is not fertile enough.
However, the rich fish resources in Nanchi made the Hujie tribe very satisfied.
At this moment, King Hujie Qizhi was sitting on a comfortable wolf-skin cushion, looking at the guests under him.
The climate here in Nanchi is quite warm now.
At least, it didn't snow.
For the Hujie people who migrated here from Jinshan, winter without snow is just like summer.
"What do you want to say to me, the next generation clan leader of the Lan clan, when you come to my Lanchi?" Qi Zhi asked carelessly: "Let's put it bluntly, we Hujie people are not as numerous as your tribes in Munan and Shanyuting.
I don’t like to go around in circles!”
This is also in line with the image of Hujie people in the minds of the nobles in Shan Yuting.
The Hujie barbarians on the other side of Jinshan drew their swords at each other if they disagreed.
Every time the old king dies and a new king comes to power, he must first fight to the death.
Even the Huns, who were not highly civilized, looked at the Hujie people in the same way that the Han Dynasty in the south looked at the barbarians on the grasslands.
However, Landasin knew that these Hujie barbarians just wanted to make people think that they were all barbarians with thick limbs and simple minds.
In fact, these people are as cunning as poisonous snakes and as clever as foxes.
It is the characteristic of Hujie people to not see a rabbit but not to fly an eagle.
Since the death of the old Shanyu, Hujie people have not been very obedient to Shanyu.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the current Shanyu military ministers don't really care about the Hujie people, their relatives who are fighting against the Cypriots at the border of the world.
However, Landasin knew that there was one thing that Hujie people would definitely not refuse.
This is killing and looting.
Killing, plundering, and conquering are the nature of the grassland peoples.
It won't change because of anything.
The reason is simple. If they don't kill, plunder and conquer others, then they themselves will starve to death.
Under the jungle law of the jungle, everyone living on the grassland needs to struggle and struggle for the survival of themselves and future generations.
Either they kill, plunder, and conquer others, or others kill, plunder, and conquer them.
For thousands of years, this way of survival and rules of the game have been written deep into the genes of every tribe on this grassland.
Unless one day they can rely on livestock and become self-sufficient.
But, this day will almost never come.
Locust plagues, snowstorms, wind disasters, and even if the rainfall changes and the monsoon shifts, the tribes on the grassland may be plunged into desperate situations at any time.
"I came to see Tushe this time because I wanted to cooperate with Tushe..." Lan Tuosin said slowly.
"Please tell me..." He spread his hands and said.
"The Great Chanyu led 50,000 cities to the westward expedition, and will not return until next summer..." Landosin said: "In addition, there are more than a dozen tribes who stayed in the western basin and did not return to the Ming Dynasty like tradition.
Come south for the winter..."
"This winter and spring, the strength of the Xiongnu in Munan, especially in Henan, is only more than half of previous years!" Landosin stood up and said to him: "I am very worried that the Han Dynasty will take the opportunity to attack Henan.
!”
"You know, even if you include the five thousand cavalry and the tribes in Hexi that I and General Zuo mobilized, there are only more than 100,000 cavalry in the local area, and the reinforcements from other tribes in Munan will take two months at the fastest...
"
"Huh?" Qi Zhi stood up and asked doubtfully: "What does the Lan family need the Hujie tribe to do?"
What if you want him to block the Han people's guns?
Then there’s no need to talk about it!
The Hujie people have not finished digesting the Yin Zhixie tribe in the past!
Those die-hards would rather flee to Mubei with their tribes and livestock than come to Nanchi to offer their loyalty to him.
The tribes in the border areas even ignored the orders of his rightful king.
I want to secure my position as the Righteous King.
And it is clear that this requires a war.
Use horsewhips and horseshoes to teach those slaves how to behave!
This is also the tradition of the Huns!
At that time, Mao Dun killed his father and decided to stand on his own initiative, but many people in the tribe were dissatisfied.
Maodun Shanyu then used blood and death to cleanse those die-hards.
Then, the remaining people knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.
What's more, the power of the Han people is now understood.
Last year, one of his personal guards had a "cordial and friendly competition" with the Han Dynasty cavalry on the border.
As a result, his personal guards were completely defeated, and even the strongest vulture shooter was shot through by the Han with a powerful long-range crossbow.
He is not willing to act as a shield for Shan Yuting!
Of course, if a war breaks out between Han and Huns, as a member of the Huns Empire, he will definitely lead the main force of the tribe to participate in the war.
However, this is based on the situation where Shanyu's main force also participates in the battle and serves as the main frontal force.
Besides, don't even think about letting him and his tribe face the powerful Han Dynasty cavalry!
Yin Zhixi died so tragically.
And he doesn’t want to become Yin Zhixie’s second best.
Lan Tuoxin smiled slightly. Before coming, he had already figured out the Hujie people's bottom line and calculations.
Do you want the Hujie people to lead the remaining forces of King Youxian's headquarters to take the initiative to attack the front of the Great Wall?
Not to mention that people in Hujie would not want to go even if they died.
Even if he was willing, Landosin was not stupid enough to let Hujie and the elite of his clan die.
"Tushe, what I mean is that if the Han Dynasty takes the initiative to attack Henan, then I hope Tushe can send elites to work with me to bypass the Han Dynasty's copper and iron walls of the Great Wall in the south, and we go to the north of the Han Dynasty
And the East!" Landasin said with a smile.
"North and East?" He looked puzzled. Since he became King Youxian, he has of course visited his territory according to tradition.
Going north along the Great Wall, you will enter the depths of the prairie.
There, there were Youbeiping, Yuyang, Shanggu and other cities of the Han Dynasty.
The defense strength is indeed not as good as Yanmen and Yunzhong in the south.
But are those places profitable?
Moreover, I have heard that Youbeiping and Yuyang were poor places in the Han Dynasty, but behind them, Yan and Zhao were wealthy.
But the problem is...
Yanzhao was the hinterland of the Han Dynasty!
In the past, when Yin Zhi was around, he didn't dare to think about those places!
What's more, now?
Lan Tuoxin saw Qie Zhi's doubts and hesitation, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Tu She, please don't underestimate the wealth of the Han Dynasty. Even a county in the Han Dynasty has far more wealth and population than the Huns."
A clan! What’s more, there is also the wealthy Andong Protectorate of the Han Dynasty!"
Landasin said in a language full of temptation: "I heard that in the Andong Protectorate, the Han Dynasty's city was not as strong as the Great Wall border, but the wealth was far better than the city on the Great Wall border. It is said that even a small city
, there are also tens of thousands of people, millions of stones of food..." (To be continued.) 8
