Chapter five hundred and forty-four the status quo of the grassland (seeking a silver note)
To the north of Dazhou, there is a vast and boundless grassland.
The water and grass are luxuriant and green for thousands of miles.
If we simply compare the area, this grassland is still far above the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At least it is about three times the land area of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But the total population is less than one-thirtieth of the total population of Dazhou! It can be said that the land is vast and the population is sparse.
Hundreds of tribes, large and small, live on the grasslands.
These tribes made a living by raising animals, living in pursuit of water and grass, and often fought with each other, especially when winter was approaching. In order to survive the winter, all tribes needed to store a large amount of food.
Therefore, in the face of huge survival pressure, either you die or I die.
Over the past thousands of years, the grasslands have been in a state of fragmentation.
There is a relationship of alliance or hostility between tribes. Small tribes are dependent on large tribes, and large tribes compete with each other for territory.
Continuous internal strife and ups and downs have kept the situation in the grassland in a state of confusion and chaos.
Until a few decades ago, a proud man of heaven was born! With absolutely tyrannical personal force, he led his tribe to conquer the north and south, and after twenty years of conquest, he finally unified the entire grassland.
Completed a great achievement that has never been completed before.
And this proud man of heaven is now the Khan of the Golden Tent in the grassland, a legendary figure who is respected as the Khan of Heaven by all the tribes in the grassland.
Originally, there were only eight large tribes in the grassland with a population of more than 100,000. The tribe where Golden Horde Khan was born was only a very ordinary one among the thirty-six medium-sized tribes.
But with the strong rise of the Golden Horde Khan, this medium-sized tribe continued to grow. In the end, when the Golden Horde Khan unified the entire grassland, this tribe also broke away from the original medium-sized tribe and became the ninth tribe in the grassland.
Big tribe.
The thirty-six medium tribes have thus become thirty-five.
To this day, the tribe to which the Golden Horde Khan belongs is the undisputed largest tribe among all the tribes in the grasslands.
All the tribes gathered around the Golden Horde Khan and obeyed the orders of the Golden Horde Khan.
Although tribes still maintain absolute autonomy and independence from each other, being surrounded by a common leader like the Golden Horde Khan still allows the overall combat effectiveness of the grassland to be qualitatively improved.
Because at the request of the Golden Horde Khan, every time before winter comes, the grassland people who originally only fought among themselves to compete for food... gradually began to look at their neighbors to the south.
The south is rich in material resources and looks like paradise to the prairie people.
However, as the Great Zhou unified the four countries, the fertile land in the south was no longer divided.
The national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was far higher than that of the northern grasslands. In terms of population and military strength, it was by no means comparable to the northern grasslands.
Therefore, even though the Khan of the Golden Horde had a very unique vision, he could still only carry out small-scale plunder in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and did not dare to really send his troops south to engage in a large-scale frontal war with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, facing the plunder from the grasslands, Da Zhou could only passively defend.
As for the idea of gathering troops, going deep into the grasslands, and launching a counterattack against the grassland people, this idea is absolutely impossible to realize.
No matter how powerful the Great Zhou Dynasty was, it was only as strong as its infantry. The number of war horses in the country was scarce, so it was difficult to form a large-scale cavalry.
And the grassland is too vast, and various tribes can migrate on the grassland at any time. If they want to counterattack the grassland, without the support of strong cavalry and logistics, it can only be empty talk.
Therefore, over the years, there has always been a very fragile tacit understanding between the grassland and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Grassland arranges envoys to go to Heyang City for exchanges every year, which is a tangible manifestation of this tacit understanding.
It's just that any tacit understanding will be destroyed one day, and there can never be long-term peace between countries.
About a month after Emperor Jing Zhou Xian personally launched the Eastern Expedition, a highest-level meeting was held in the golden tent on the grassland.
The person presiding over the meeting was naturally the supreme ruler of the grassland, the Golden Horde Khan Anukin!
Attendees, in addition to the chiefs of the other eight major tribes, were also all the powerful people in the grassland who had reached the ninth level and above.
This was the highest-level meeting in the grassland. The content was not revealed at all. However, after the meeting, all the participants left in a hurry, with excited smiles on their faces...
Yan Wuwo also participated in this meeting.
Although he joined the grassland not long ago, coupled with his status as a Zhou person, many grassland people are afraid and suspicious of him.
But the Golden Horde Khan didn't care about this and valued Yan Wuwo very much.
While being favored, Yan Wuwo did not shy away from almost anything, which made Yan Wuwo already occupy a high position in a short period of time after arriving at Golden Tent on the Grassland.
Yan Wu, I know very well that the Golden Horde Khan is buying horse bones for thousands of gold!
Compared with the Great Zhou, the population of the grassland is too small, and the disadvantage of the population base naturally leads to the fact that the number of top experts in the grassland is far less than that of the Great Zhou.
This is an innate deficiency that cannot be reversed through acquired efforts.
Therefore, Yan Wuwo's joining made the Golden Horde Khan quite happy, because it meant that the problem of insufficient experts could be made up for through similar methods!
After leaving the Jinzhang Khan's tent and returning to his own tent, Yan Wuwo glanced at his son who was in a daze in the tent.
He sighed and said, "I have already told the Great Khan about your matter. The Great Khan will find a way to let you regain the ability to be a man."
Yan Wei glanced at Yan Wuwo, with a lifeless look on his face, and said: "The Great Khan is not a god, what can he do? What does the Great Khan want to do in this meeting? Make it so mysterious
?”
"It's nothing. The situation in the country is unstable due to the Great Zhou's Eastern Expedition. The Great Khan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to try to bite off a piece of meat from the Great Zhou's body, so he puts the entire grassland into a state of war readiness. Try his best to fight for a while before winter comes.
ticket."
Yan Wuwo said simply, then walked out of the tent again, and said at the same time: "I will ask His Majesty the Pope to see if His Majesty the Pope has come up with any solution."
As Yan Wuwo left, Yan Wei's eyes lit up.
After a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, it was quickly filled with extremely resentful emotions.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out a pen and paper from the tent. After writing quickly, he called over the confidants who had run out with their father and son.
After explaining a few words, he watched his confidant put away the letter and turned around to leave the tent. A perverted and sinister smile appeared on Yan Wei's face.
He whispered in an extremely serious tone: "Jiang Fan... I want you to die!"
