He Lanxiong stood in a pool of blood all over the ground, his face was pale, this was a small Xiongnu tribe village, there were about a hundred tents, but now, except for the ashes and corpses on the ground, there was nothing.

Since the Xiongnu attached to Gaoyuan, life is getting better day by day, a large part of the Xiongnu people chose to settle in Jishi City, Dayan City and other big cities of the Han Kingdom, so that they can engage in traditional animal husbandry at the same time, they can also learn some farming techniques from the Han people, and the local government of the Han State often sent some experienced old farmers to teach farming techniques, so that these Xiongnu people slowly got rid of a single mode of life.

In the periphery of these cities, the government has demarcated pastures and implemented fallow grazing every year to ensure the long-term development of these herdsmen, and living in the periphery of the cities, the herdsmen's livestock, dairy products, and furs can also be sold directly to the shops in the city quickly and conveniently, reducing the intermediate links, so that they can obtain greater profits, of course, in addition to these benefits, if the herdsmen's families have excess labor, they can also go to the city to pick up work, and the city can always provide well-paid jobs. Compared with the Han people, these Huns who went to the city to recruit workers asked for lower prices and worked harder, which was favored by large and small merchants in the city.

And the tribe that was wiped out by the Qin army today obviously does not belong to this category, they still maintain their traditional way of life, and above the ruins, the remains of the fence of livestock can still be identified, and naturally there is not a single livestock left.

"Commander, a survivor has been found!" Helanjie ran over, "It's a pity that he didn't say a few words, and he died again, his injuries were too serious."

The light in the eyes of He Lanxiong, who had just heard that there was a survivor, quickly dimmed, a tribe, if there is still a person who survives, then with his own help, this tribe can still survive, but now, I am afraid that this tribe will be drowned in the dust of history again.

"Which tribe?" He Lanxiong asked in a low voice, this place has been robbed, and the rest has been burned to ruins, even He Lanxiong can't tell which tribe this is.

"It's Guo Luoluo. Their patriarch did not want to live around the city, and with his people, he still lived a traditional herding life, and this time he received the warning and did not attract people's attention, and did not retreat to these places in Jishi City, so he suffered, and the man said that there were more than 500 people in the whole clan, and there was not a single one left, all of them were killed, and the livestock, the grain, and all the valuable things were robbed." Helan Jiedao.

"Which Qin army is it, and how many people are there?" Helan Xiong's eyes flashed with rage.

"It's a mixed Qin army of about 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers. Our scouts have found their tracks, and now they are heading along the Siyang River in the direction of Jishi City."

"Why are there only more than 3,000 people?" He Lanxiong asked.

"Looking at the Qin army's formation, I'm afraid that they sent a large number of such troops to sweep the Xiongnu tribes on the grassland who didn't have time to withdraw, robbing livestock, grain and grass, you know, the Qin army's grain road is too long, Li Xin is only afraid of fighting with the idea of feeding the war."

"Fight for war!" Helan Xiong snorted, as a general from the Huns, he naturally knew the bloodshed under the so-called decision to raise war with war.

"Send our scouts to warn all the Xiongnu tribes who have not withdrawn to Jishi City, don't have illusions, the attention of the Qin people is to burn, kill, and rob the light, and now it is too late for them to retreat in the direction of Jishi City, and they immediately retreat in the direction of Hetao. Lose everything you can lose, save people first." He Lanxiong commanded.

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Helanjie agreed and turned to leave.

"Hao Lianpo!" Helan Xiong shouted.

"Commander, the last general." Hao Lianpo ran over with a puff of smoke.

"Send scouts to find out where this Qin army is now, I want blood for blood!" Helan Xiong said murderously.

By the Siyang River, Li Xin picked up a handful of water and poured it on his face, feeling the coolness, and sighed: "What a good place, we had the opportunity to completely occupy this land back then, but for one reason or another, in the end, it was cheaper for Gao Yuan, and he achieved his great foundation today. It has also become my Great Qin's greatest enemy."

"Now his good days are over, when the general took out the sword, the Huns were wiped out, and now the general has drawn his sword again, how can he stop the general's soldiers!" Beside him, the general Dan Yu said with a smile.

Li Xin shook his head, "Today is different from the past, although the Xiongnu had a royal court, but the major tribes were actually still on their own, which gave us the opportunity to break through, today's Han, the upper and lower are unified, the government decree is unimpeded, an order, the whole country is not obeyed, this kind of mobilization ability, in this world, in addition to our Great Qin, there is only the Great Han. Gao Yuan is our strongest enemy, otherwise the king would not have given up the opportunity to destroy the Zhao State in one fell swoop this time, but would have sought the near and far, and he must defeat the Han State first!"

"That's what I don't understand." But Yu humbly asked for advice: "General, the 100,000 elites of the Zhao State were wiped out by our country, and the current Zhao State can be said to be at a time when it is weak, such a great opportunity, if it is not used, wouldn't it be too wasteful, after all, the Zhao State is a big country, if they are given time to recover their vitality, won't he have to spend a lot of time in the future?"

Li Xin laughed, "This is the king's cleverness, Zhao is big, and his strength is strong, but compared to the threat of the Han State to us, it is really not worth mentioning, Zhao Guo is now Zhao Qi is in charge, this person is short-sighted, good at playing small conspiracies and lacking great wisdom, in the layout of the grand strategy, it is a mess, such a person is in charge of Zhao State, why is Zhao State afraid?" What we have to do now is just to help Zhao Qi maintain his rule in Zhao State, this time he was defeated in our country, Zhao Qi's position is already in jeopardy, Zhao Wou-Ki is also extremely dissatisfied with him, Zhao Qi in order to maintain his status and save his life, I am afraid that he will kill again, the more he kills, the more people will oppose him in the country, and the more opportunities we will intervene, such a country, can we still worry? Sooner or later, it's all in our hands. But the Han Kingdom is different, the Han soldiers are good at fighting, you know this, but what worries the king more is that the economic development of the Han Kingdom, in just a few years, the Han Kingdom's economy has grown by leaps and bounds, and its economic strength has surpassed that of our country, and what is more worrying is that Gao Yuan's reputation in the Han Kingdom is excellent, do you know the bonds he issued, just such a white strip, you can raise great wealth in the people in the blink of an eye, but Yu, do you think that if our country follows this trick, will it be effective?"

But Yu frowned and thought for a while, "General, I'm afraid I can't, those who have money don't want to buy it, and they have people behind them, so they can't be forced, and some others are afraid that they don't have money to buy it."

"That's right!" Li Xin nodded and said: "The king is worried, the more time passes, the Han State will become stronger and stronger, and we can't raise our heads on the economy, this war, in the end, is money, a knife, a bow, a pair of armor, all have to be bought with silver, a horse, a soldier's annual consumption, have to come up with silver from the treasury, the Han Kingdom is getting richer and richer, they will come up with more money to equip more troops, in less than ten years, Gao Yuan has developed from a county lieutenant of more than a hundred people to hundreds of thousands of troops now, if he is given another ten years, Wouldn't he be able to equip millions of troops?"

"If my king gives an order, won't he be able to muster millions of troops?" But the rain channel.

Li Xin glanced at Dan Yu, "One million troops and one million troops, it sounds the same number, but sometimes, the difference between them is big. I don't think that at that time, our million-strong army can be compared to the million-strong army of the Han army, and if there is really a day, as long as the war drags on a little longer, my Great Qin will be dragged down by life. Over the years, Gao Yuan has avoided large-scale conflicts with our country, so why did he come? He's got a clear idea, he's got the idea, he's going to drag us down."

"Why can't we emulate his lofty livelihood policies?" But Yu said with some distress: "Isn't it a secret that the economy and people's livelihood are far-reaching?"

"Easier said than done!" Li Xin shook his head and said: "If we copy this set implemented by Gao Yuan, I am afraid that the economy and people's livelihood have not yet developed, and the country will be in chaos first. But the rain, the lofty Han State strictly forbade land annexation, his ministers, generals, each person was not allowed to own more than 1,000 acres of land, he used the land as a reward for the warriors' exploits, he distributed the land to the people free of charge, and the taxes collected were very low, he was able to do this, because he was a new regime, he was a country built on a mess with nothing, the original power structure was swept away in the war, so he did it without resistance, but our country has been established for hundreds of years, The domestic forces are intertwined, and if you really want to talk about it, do you know who the biggest landlord in our country is?"

But the rain opened his mouth, and a few people flashed in his mind, shaking his head, and he really couldn't tell who was more.

"The biggest landlord in our country is the royal family!" Li Xin sighed, "Do you want Wang Shangge to take his own life?"

But the rain opened its mouth wide enough to fit a duck egg in.

"But this battle is not easy to fight!" But Yu scratched his head, "If Helanxiong had been blocked in Daijun at the beginning, it would have been much easier, let him escape to the grassland, but the fish returned to the sea, the birds flew for nine days, it would be even more difficult to catch him again, his infantry is accelerating to retreat towards Jishi City, and it will be even more difficult for us to attack Jishi City at that time, I looked at the city construction map of Jishi City from the Black Ice Platform, to be honest, I haven't figured out any effective siege methods until now."

"Fighting, how can there be anything that is sure of nine out of ten, in short, it is more victories and fewer defeats!" Li Xin laughed, "Helanxiong has escaped, but he may not be able to catch it." (To be continued) R466
