Chapter 159 The person who wags his tail and begs for mercy
The simulator reminded Zhang Beichen: "[New skin has been unlocked]."
[Yan Di: Yan Qing Wu] Golden Five Stars.
On the skin, there is a picture of Yan Qingwu ascending the throne at this moment.
This is already the fourth Empress achievement skin collected by Zhang Beichen!
Yan Qingwu's enthronement ceremony ended, and the Yan Kingdom was known as the Great Yan from then on, sitting on the land of the Central Plains.
…
Zhang Beichen opened the information panel of the simulator. Although it was difficult for the Yan Kingdom to make a fortune, the situation after the unification was better than that of the previous empires.
First of all, the Southern Barbarian countries were pacified before unification, which directly saved them a big trouble.
Then there are the Xiongnu in the north. In the past, it took many years of development to pacify the Xiongnu. But this time, because the Yan State took over Donghu's territory very early, it can easily send cavalry to the hinterland of the Xiongnu through Donghu's territory!
In this way, the Yan State has a deterrent effect on the Xiongnu at all times, so that the Xiongnu cannot invade as they please, and they even have to be careful to guard against the Yan State!
When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will naturally announce a series of reform measures.
King Yan followed suit and announced all the reform measures announced by the previous empresses.
Zhang Beichen was even more lazy and started the hosting mode directly.
[A year later, you and Yan Qingwu had a boy, named Yan Ming.]
[The State of Yan began the process of unifying writing, weights and measures, and carriages and horses.]
[The State of Yan opened the national imperial examination, and the first number one scholar in Yan was born.]
[The King of Yan recruited hundreds of thousands of civilians and began to practice the Chi Road that ran through all the counties in the world. With the construction of the Chi Road, the Yan State's national power became more prosperous. 】
[Three years later, the Yan State began to build the Grand Canal running through the north and south to transport supplies from the north to the south and transfer water to the water-scarce areas in the north. 】
[Another year later, you and Hao Ziyi gave birth to a girl. 】
[The following year, you and Zhao Yun gave birth to a boy.]
[In this year, Emperor Yan began to tour the world, unsealing the seal of the world's dragon veins, the spiritual power in Great Yan became increasingly strong, and there were more and more capable people and strangers. 】
[Zhao Yun broke through the holy realm, and Emperor Yan appointed her as the general of Zhenbei to guard the north and defend against the Huns.]
[In the same year, Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen broke through to the semi-saint realm. 】
…
【Another ten years later.】
At this time, Zhang Beichen was already middle-aged. Because his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Saint Realm, his appearance did not seem to have changed much.
During this period of time, Yan Qingwu actually reached the holy realm!
Hao Ziyi, who has the lowest cultivation level, has now reached the semi-saint realm.
The Yan State's national power was booming, and its population increased several times!
"It's time to expand the territory!" Zhang Beichen came back from the trusteeship and began to try to develop the Yan Kingdom even stronger.
The first step at this time is to attack the Xiongnu from the north and eliminate the threat of the Xiongnu Empire!
In this round, Maotai's attack on the Central Plains failed, so he began to develop in the direction of the Western Regions.
Intelligence shows that in the past ten years, Dayuezhi Kingdom has lost most of its land, and among the countries in the Western Region, the Huns have annexed more than a dozen small countries!
"I don't know how Lan Xiang is doing." Zhang Beichen thought to himself that according to time, King Dayuezhi should have died of illness by this time.
In this round, the Dayue clan was too weak, and it was obvious that they could not replicate the operation of uniting with the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu.
Zhang Beichen plans to start from the territory of Donghu.
In the early days, the Xiongnu had been competing with the Donghu.
The most important area is the Kerulen Valley area!
From this area, you can directly attack the hinterland of the Xiongnu along the river, and your troops can point directly at Langjuxu Mountain!
This is a geographical advantage that has never been available before!
When Zhang Beichen planned to capture Donghu, the Huns robbed the Kerulun Valley and built a large number of Outuo (earth forts) for defense.
After the Yan State ruled the Donghu area, it did not take back the Kerulun Valley. That place was occupied by the Huns and the Xianbei tribe who surrendered to the Huns.
At that time, the Yan State wanted to dominate the Central Plains and had no extra power to conquer here.
Hao Zhen's Wuhuan tribe has not yet been able to defeat the Xiongnu, so the maps of both sides have not changed much over the years.
[You wrote to Emperor Yan, deciding to conquer the Xiongnu, and Emperor Yan agreed.]
…
In the mansion, Zhang Beichen asked Hao Ziyi to pack her things and prepare to return to her natal home.
After marrying to the Central Plains, Hao Ziyi only went back once. She also missed her relatives.
"Mom, when are you coming back?" Zhang Yun, the teenage daughter, asked reluctantly.
Zhang Yun is a mixed-race person with an exquisite appearance, a wild nature that belongs to the Donghu tribe, and is skilled in bow and horse.
"Come back when you finish helping your grandpa." Hao Ziyi comforted, "You are in Jicheng, and you should learn your skills from the teacher."
"Yeah." Zhang Yun nodded obediently.
…
[You took Hao Ziyi and a group of personal guards all the way to Donghu, and met Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen at Wuhuan Mountain. 】
After many years, Zhang Beichen saw Hao Zhen again. Hao Zhen had turned gray at the temples, but his momentum had not diminished. He was very likely to break through to the holy realm in this life, so Hao Zhen was not worried about his old age.
"Father-in-law, it's been decades since we parted ways! My father-in-law is still as charming as before!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile.
"Prime Minister, you are joking. I am always paying attention to the news in the Central Plains in Donghu. You have brought peace to the world and made the Yan country a great Yan. I am also very excited and wish I could mount my horse and raise my sword to fight with you!" Hao Zhen said.
"Abba, your titles are so confusing!" Hao Ziyi laughed at the side.
Hao Zhen simply said: "Otherwise, Brother Zhang, we can discuss things on our own terms. How about you and I being brothers?"
"It's just right!" Zhang Beichen and Hao Zhen had a drink. Hao Ziyi returned to his hometown, feeling very friendly and drinking a lot of wine.
Zhang Beichen spent several days in the Wuhuan tribe and began to talk about business with Hao Zhen.
"You came here this time for the Huns' affairs, right?" Before Zhang Beichen could speak, Hao Zhen had already guessed his purpose.
"Exactly!" Zhang Beichen said, "The Xiongnu are in the north of Yan, and they often send troops to invade. If this problem is not eliminated, there will be no peace in Yan!"
Hao Zhen said: "Now that Yan's national power is prosperous, it is indeed capable of attacking the Xiongnu."
"In these years, I have not been idle. I have sent people deep into the grasslands and drawn detailed maps of the Huns. As long as there is a war, they will definitely be useful!"
Zhang Beichen said happily: "Brother Hao really has foresight!"
The two began to discuss the strategy of fighting the Huns.
Hao Zhen said: "Now the Xiongnu chief Shanyu Maotai is very wary of the Yan State. He has set up many sentries on the border to observe the situation of the Yan State at any time."
"If the Yan army attacks from the grassland, it will definitely be penetrated by the enemy. The enemy only needs to hide in the vast grassland and delay for a few months, and the Yan army will inevitably encounter disadvantages."
Zhang Beichen has already understood this problem, so in these simulations, he first tried to find the location of the Huns before attacking.
"But attacking from the river valley is different." Hao Zhen opened the map and said: "The Tule River Valley and the Kerulun River Valley are both areas with lush water and grass. It is impossible for the Huns to give up. Maotai has deployed heavy troops in both places."
"Through our Donghu territory, you can directly reach the Kherulun Valley. As long as you capture the Klulun Valley, and then go down the river to attack the Tule Valley, the Huns will no longer have a place to hide!"
This plan was also what Yu Daji, the former Donghu chieftain, had always wanted to do, but unfortunately he could not defeat the Huns.
Zhang Beichen nodded and said: "I think so too. Our country, Yan, can mobilize 100,000 cavalry to fight!"
At this time, the Yan cavalry was well-equipped. Each man was equipped with two or three horses, and had spears, swords, bows and arrows, leather armor and other equipment.
Coupled with the training of Zhao Yun, the former empress, Yan Qi has become a powerful force.
"One hundred thousand cavalry!" Hao Zhen's eyes lit up, "I, Donghu, can also mobilize 50,000 cavalry now. 150,000 cavalry is enough!"
"Then let's find a way to capture the Kerulen Valley first."
Hao Zhen began to share his information with Zhang Beichen.
"The one currently guarding the Kerulen Valley is the fierce general under Maotai's tent, Boermu. This man is Maotai's younger brother. He is a cultivator in the Holy Realm. Like Maotai, he has the ability to drive ferocious beasts!"
"The wolf cavalry he led are invincible. I have fought against him before. I am ashamed to say that I was defeated."
Zhang Beichen nodded slightly. He knew Boermu and had fought against him in previous simulations.
Bormu is much stronger than the Huyan Xiao in King Zuoxie's tent! He likes to eat human flesh the most, and is called an evil ghost!
"How many troops does Bormu have?" Zhang Beichen asked.
"He has 30,000 ordinary cavalry and 20,000 wolf cavalry. In addition, there are more than 30,000 people from the Xianbei tribe at his disposal." Hao Zhen said, "Maotai attaches great importance to the defense of the Kerulen Valley.
The number of Eurotels built has increased tenfold! If we attack directly, it will be difficult to achieve results in a short time."
"The Huns stationed in the Tule Valley will soon arrive to support us."
Zhang Beichen thought, although the Yan State now has strength, it does not mean that it will lose its military and national strength in vain.
He asked: "Then the people of the Xianbei tribe just listen to the Huns?"
"How is that possible?" Hao Zhen said with a smile, "It is impossible for the Huns to regard the people of the Xianbei tribe as their own. They basically treat them as slaves. After Yu Manhe's death, the Xianbei tribe was firmly controlled by the Huns. Even if
They were unwilling and had no chance to resist."
"Can't we create a rift or something?" Zhang Beichen asked.
"Of course." Hao Zhen said, "Yu Manhe's son, Yu Zhun, succeeded him as Khan. This Yu Zhun has a cowardly character and is obedient to the Huns. Bormu once said it in front of everyone
He was told to lie down on the ground, bark like a dog, and wag his tail to beg for mercy, and he did it."
"Then he is not a simple person!" Zhang Beichen commented. People who can endure such humiliation are either the kind of people who completely give up their dignity, or people who are extremely wealthy.
"So what if he is unwilling? Boermu never trusts him, and important places are not left to the Xianbei tribe to guard. Even if he leads people to rebel, there will be no trouble!" Hao Zhen said.
"That was the case before, but not necessarily now!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile, "Aren't we responsible for this?"
"Hahaha, Brother Zhang is right!" Hao Zhen laughed.
…
[You sent an emissary to the Kerulen Valley to contact Yu Zhun and try to persuade him to surrender.]
"Hao Zhen and Yan Guo are both my father-killing enemies, and they still want me to surrender? Don't even think about it!" Yu Zhun looked at the emissary in front of him with cold eyes, and ordered: "Kill him! Put the head on the head, and I will personally do it. Send it to General Boermu!"
Yu Zhun had the messenger killed and took his head to Bormu's tent to claim credit.
In the tent, Boermu was drinking wine and eating meat, and several Xianbei girls were serving him.
After Boermu took charge here, he drank, had fun and looked for women almost every day. His style was no different from that of Donghu Dadan Yu Daji.
"Yu Zhun, what are you doing here?" Seeing Yu Zhun's arrival, Boermu didn't even bother to look at him, and was still playing with the woman next to him.
Yu Zhun lowered his head and said: "General, just now Yan State sent someone to deliver a message to me, trying to persuade me to surrender to them. Now I have killed the messenger and came here to inform the general!"
"The State of Yan may have murderous intentions towards us. I hope the general will be careful!"
"Yan Guoce rebelled against you, and you killed their people?" Boermu looked at him with suspicion in his eyes, "Then why didn't you bring him alive and insisted on killing him first?"
Yu Zhun was covered in cold sweat and quickly defended: "I'm afraid that he will talk nonsense and alienate us."
"Hmph!" Bormu snorted coldly and cursed: "You mean this general is a fool and can't tell the enemy's lies?"
"I don't dare." Yu Zhun quickly knelt down.
Seeing Yu Zhun in such a mess, Boermu was satisfied. He was deliberately making trouble to establish his authority.
"It doesn't matter, you are also loyal! I will reward you with wine and meat! Come, give him a seat!" Boermu asked someone to arrange a seat for Yu Zhun.
Yu Zhun was overjoyed that he could finally get Boermu's attention!
When he sat down, there was wine on his seat, but no meat.
Yu Zhun asked around: "Where is my meat?"
The general next to him pointed at something and said, "Isn't it right there?"
Yu Zhun was shocked when he saw it.
It turns out he was referring to the head of the messenger just now!
Yu Zhun was about to retort, but he saw Boermu staring at him. Boermu asked: "What, you don't like the meat I will give you?"
"luv't!".
Seeing this, Bormu laughed loudly and said: "That's right, this is the man of my grassland!"
"With such courage, why are you afraid of what the Yan Kingdom will do? I heard that Zhang Beichen is very powerful and is known as the strongest in the Yan Kingdom. I really want to taste his meat. What is the difference between his meat and other people's! "
"The general is mighty!" Everyone praised him one after another.
Yu Zhun quickly found a reason to leave. As soon as he left the tent, he immediately vomited out everything he had just eaten.
The guard reported the matter to Boermu.
A general said: "General, I saw that Yu Zhun is here to test the general. Maybe he has already conspired with Yan Guo and that Hao Zhen!"
"Yes, there is no need for the Xianbei tribe to stay. It is better to kill Yu Zhun directly to prevent him from causing trouble in the future!"
The reason why these people fought for Zhengzhuan was because they wanted to annex the Xianbei tribe.
The reason why Maotai left behind the Xianbei tribe in the first place was to show the tribes on the grassland that he kept his promise and asked them to surrender as soon as possible.
Now that the grasslands have been unified, there is no use keeping the Xianbei tribe, so these tribal generals want a piece of the pie.
