In the early years, Fortress 176 was on a par with Fort 178, but over the years people have gradually mentioned only 178 and not 176.

There are many reasons for this, on the one hand, the geographical location of the 176 barrier is not as bad as that of 178, and the enemies from the grassland are not so vicious, so from the perspective of "paying", the 176 barrier does not pay much for the entire barrier alliance.

After all, there are so many people on the grassland, and they can't even match the hot weapons, so it is really difficult to become a big disaster in the Central Plains, and there has been no particularly heroic bloody battle between them.

On the other hand, Barrier 176 is not strong in combat, and one generation is not as good as the next, and in recent decades, Barrier 176 has become a hereditary system and the private property of the Shen family.

Originally, all the resources of the 176 Fortress were supplied by the Wang, Huo, and Kong families, as a way to express their gratitude to the 176 garrison in the north.

But after Barrier 176 became the private property of the Shen family, and after everyone found out that the threat of the northern grassland in recent years was only the Shen family itself shouting 'the wolf is coming', the supply of materials gradually cut off.

Because Barrier 176 is located in a place of poor materials, and it survives in the cracks of Kong's, Tinder, and Wang's, these years are not as good as one year at a time.

The previous No. 176 barrier managers lacked foresight and resources, which led to the failure of their light industry and heavy industry to develop, except for animal husbandry and agriculture, which were also passable, so they also lost their competitiveness in the barrier alliance.

Now, their weapons are very old, and some even sell them to the black market for money.

This is why Qingshen said that the 176 barrier is not good.

Da Yu listened to Qing Shen's explanation and laughed: "Or my 178 fortress has a long-term vision, and the previous commanders have never considered hereditary matters, but whenever they have children who want to seize power, they will be sent to the outside outpost as soon as possible, which is unique in the entire barrier alliance, and it can only be said that the commanders of my 178 fortress are worthy of the name of pioneers." ”

"And the enemy I'm facing in Fortress 178 is not the kind of nomad who doesn't even have thermal weapons, which is why we are called fortresses, but they can only be called ramparts. ”

Qing Shen looked at Da Yu seriously, and he found that when Da Yu mentioned the 178 Fortress, the sense of pride and honor from the bottom of his heart was probably something that most people in the Central Plains did not have.

Luo Lan said: "Actually, the Shen family was quite competitive at the beginning, and the military strength of the Barrier Alliance was not very good at that time, and it was still very difficult to face the war launched by the grassland people. It's a pity that when it came to Shen Yin's generation, it fell. ”

"So, do you think the grassland people will pose a threat to the 176 barrier?" Ren Xiaosu looked at Qing Shen.

"The premise is that the steppe people are strong enough now," Qingshen replied, "after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." ”

......

Seven days later, on the border of the northern grassland, Yan Liuyuan suddenly stopped in Manan and looked: "Confirm the route and direction, check the materials, horses and numbers, and every day in the future may face battles, don't take it lightly." ”

Hassan nodded: "Don't worry, master, I won't make a mistake on my side." ”

Yan Liuyuan nodded, he felt that Hassan had led a small tribe in the past, and since Hassan became the king of the right horse, he quickly showed his talent in management.

At this time, Yan Liuyuan asked again: "Where are the Fulan clan and the Sugu clan?"

Hassan on the side said respectfully: "The scouts have been dispatched, but it will take a day to come back from there, and I will report to you as soon as there is news." ”

This time to the south, Yan Liuyuan did not lead his troops to the 176 barrier, which was closest to the grassland, but changed direction and went to the Tinder territory.

The envoy before the Qing clan came to the grassland and brought him a relatively important news: the Tinder Company was about to start a war in the Kong Clan, and the Tinder had already mobilized its troops several months in advance, and at this time, the barrier to the north of the Tinder Company was all in a state of defensive emptiness.

It was precisely because Yan Liuyuan didn't want the other tribes to know his plan that he chose to be the last to leave, so two of the three major tribes went to the direction of the 176 barrier, and he headed towards the fire.

The Qing envoy even made an agreement with Yan Liuyuan that when he arrived at the city of Barrier 21, someone would open the city gate for him.

However, when Yan Liuyuan arrived at the border of this grassland, seeing that the tens of thousands of troops composed of eight tribes were only more than a hundred kilometers away from the No. 21 barrier, he chose to stop: "Stay where you are, wait for the scouts to report back." ”

Hassan didn't quite understand what Yan Liuyuan was going to do, but he did it anyway.

That night, Yan Liuyuan's believers began to worship in the direction of the big tent, which is still a ritual that came out of nowhere, saying that they should bow down to the gods a hundred times in the morning, and they should bow down three times before dinner in the evening, so as to be pious enough.

These nomads' belief in Yan Liuyuan increased day by day, and gradually rituals began to appear.

Ritual is the ritual rules in the usual sense, such as offering three sacrifices when praying for rain, such as prostrating in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras every day, and so on.

It wasn't until the next morning that Hassan hurried to the front of the big tent with the heads of the tribes, and at this time Kiqige was combing Yan Liuyuan's hair.

Yan Liuyuan looked at Hassan: "If you have something, just say it." ”

Hassan said respectfully: "Congratulations to the master, a scout came back and said that the Mulan clan and the Sugu clan have arrived at the range of Barrier 176, but Barrier 176 seems to know that they are going early, so they have carried out an ambush in advance, and now the two major tribes are difficult to compete with Barrier 176 head-on, and the rear has also been cut off from retreating, and it seems that they are going to be buried outside Barrier 176." ”

Several other tribal leaders were also happy, and when the Servan and Sugu were dead, they would have no enemies on the grassland.

Everyone also said in private that their own male lord was probably really a god who came into the world, but not a single soldier was damaged, and someone helped get rid of the opponent.

Ke Yan Liuyuan pondered for a long time, then looked at the happy leaders in front of him and said, "Ready to open, let's go to Barrier 176." ”

Hassan was stunned: "Master, is it a little dangerous to go to Barrier 176 at this time? Why don't we continue to march to the Tinder, doesn't it mean that the defense is already empty there?"

Yan Liuyuan shook his head: "The population of the Mulan Clan and the Sugu Clan is much larger than ours, if all of their light and strong people die on the side of Barrier 176, how many years will it take for the grassland to recover? Hassan, I want the cattle, sheep and subjects on the grassland, not an empty grassland." ”

Hassan and the others were stunned, they didn't expect that the master in front of them was going to save the Servan clan and the Sugu clan, vaguely, they felt the other party's courage and ambition, probably this is the temperament that the lord of the grassland should have!

Yan Liuyuan said with a smile: "Go and prepare, the No. 176 barrier is actually not as strong as imagined, a new dynasty on the grassland is about to be born, it is better to sacrifice their blood." ”

......

There will be a watch that will be very late, so let's watch it tomorrow morning
