The Loess Plateau is really important to Guanzhong, the location is high, and the terrain is rugged, and if you guard here, you can directly resist the grassland peoples outside the plateau, unlike only guarding Guanzhong Sanfu, and the plain area faces the impact of foreign races.

At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also immigrated to the Loess Plateau and guarded the ancient Yulin Pass, but the two Han Dynasty Ding Ge, the Guandong family that occupied the dominant power of the imperial court no longer cared about the life and death of the Guanxi, the original Han Wu Emperor era expanded to the west for thousands of miles of land were deserted, when Wang Hou came out of the ancient Yulin Pass, the Guancheng here even collapsed to the same situation as the later site museum, the majestic ancient pass, the style is gone.

And out of the Yulin Pass, to the north of the Hetao, the same is a desolation, the later generations are full of people, this era has become a rare object, the land is sparse to hundreds of miles without people, Wang Hou's thousand rides walk on the grassland Gobi Desert in winter, small like a speck of dust in the sea.

In this kind of desolation, even if it is a soldier, the morale cannot be raised.

However, after six or seven days of trekking in the snow and hurrying eastward, a different atmosphere finally came.

First the outpost! Safety is still very important these days! In addition to Xianbei on the grassland, there are also nomads who have left a strong mark on the history of China in later generations, and they have also begun to be driven south by the cold Xiaoice weather and become a threat!

And the current Xianbei is different from the previous Xianbei who occupied a large area of grassland, poor and vicious, and the base camp of Naturalized City is very rich, and it has to be guarded against others to rob! Therefore, in the Yinshan Heishui River generation, every few miles, a guard tower was built in the Naturalization City for the purpose of guarding.

Moreover, the soldiers guarding these guard towers are Xianbei, Han, Goguryeo, and Buyeo, and it seems that in this land, Wang Hou's national integration policy is becoming more and more harmonious.

After the sentry tower group, I walked for about half a day, and a different scene appeared in front of me.

The Xianbei people are still reluctant to live in the city, keep their traditions, stay with the herd, and guard the cattle and sheep on which they live, but! What persecuted Qiang people continue to be attached, and the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qianren these alien races brazenly enter the Central Plains, causing a catastrophe of Wuhu chaos? It's the weather!

For more than 100 years, the temperature in the entire northern hemisphere is getting lower and lower, the severe cold in winter can really freeze to death individuals, after the failure of the coup d'état, the factors that hinder the integration of Xianbei and Liaodong are gone, and the Xianbei people who are frozen like a grandson in the felt bag in winter are completely enlightened, outside the naturalized city, a long house with red tiles and white walls is lined up neatly outside the city with green smoke, and in front of the house, the vast courtyard is also neatly enclosed with a fence in a large rectangular circle, The cattle and sheep raised by the Xianbei people stayed quietly in the yard, freezing until they were exhaling hot air, while chewing hay from Liaodong.

Just like the herdsmen in the pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia in later generations, they set out in spring, nomad in the vast grasslands in summer and autumn, and then return to the edge of the naturalized city in winter.

However, in this case, the social relations of the Xianbei people have also been drastically changed, in the past, the living conditions were too bad, and the people of the entire tribe had to firmly hug each other and work together to resist the risks under the dignity and inferiority equality of the primitive commune in order to survive.

But now, the nomadic economy in the old days has been replaced by the commodity economy, the sheep raised by the Xianbei people, as well as the sheepskin sheep bones left over from the killing of sheep, etc., were directly taken away by the Han merchants from Liaodong, and sold to a series of commercial cities in Liaodong to sell meat to make money, and at the same time, the silver money obtained can also buy flour, rice, canned food, these farming people's better reserves of grain, the cost of survival has declined, and the gap between the rich and the poor among the members of the tribe has begun to widen, and the once strong tribal alliance has begun to disintegrate.

Just look at these houses, you can see that most of them are now a family with a large compound, and the scene of the entire tribe living together for warmth has disappeared, of course, this is a good thing for the political control of the Naturalization City, after all, the large tribes that were independently armed before were still too threatening to the regime of the Naturalization City.

But for ordinary soldiers, this kind of crowd is kind! Especially the soil buns from Kansai, there is really a sense of grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, the old military affairs Pang De, who had also fought with Kebi Nengbu Dugen, couldn't help but stare at the balls of his eyes, and looked left and right in amazement, looking at the Xianbei old herdsmen who came out in big cotton jackets to feed sheep and shovel dung eggs, and shouted in disbelief.

"When did these poor poor slaves become so rich and dress so well!"

In those words, there was a strong sour taste in the surprise, and Wang Tongsu, the captain of the pro-soldier school, who was in the same company, was full of superiority, and he was particularly proud to puff up his chest, Wang Tong explained with a smile.

"These barbarians outside the city have been more generous in the past two years! It's also a country style, and it can't be put on the table, and the real prosperity is still in the city! ”

"What is this? With these two pieces of fine steel spread on the ground, how many weapons and armor can be made! ”

As he spoke, he just walked out of the pastoral house with a neat layout like tofu blocks, pointed to the two railroad tracks parallel to the Naturalization City, and the yellow three-story building with a bell tower on the side of the railroad tracks, Hou Rong asked in amazement.

is also from a big city, and he also padded his stomach, and Ma Tie was grinning there without knowing how to pretend to understand.

"You haven't seen this for a long time in Kansai, this is called a slap pole, once a thief army attacks the city, carry this thing to the city wall, and then throw it down, no matter what crashes in the loud noise, rush the car, all smash to smash!"

Listening to Ma Tie's two goods bragging there, the old soldier Wang and Su Shuang's belly were almost broken, but Pang De was actually fooled when he heard this, and he really squatted down seriously, stroking the railroad tracks that were freezing cold in the winter.

"This thing is too long and heavy! How much manpower does it take to pull up the city wall, with so much manpower, fire and smashing should also be able to destroy the siege equipment! Or is there something we don't know about the prince's ......, oops......"

Suddenly, the railroad tracks trembled violently, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Su Shuang grabbed Pound's neck and dragged it back, and dragged Pound back with a fart squat, and dragged him back in his screaming, and at the same time, a group of dirt bun guards who were studying around the railroad tracks also ran away.

Just look at the snow foam splashing, a behemoth head spewed black smoke and rushed over frantically, the momentum of pulling out a thousand pounds, frightened Pound is also as earthy, and Ma Tie, who had just bragged and beeped, pulled out the knife at once, baring his teeth and roaring.

"The monster of the Vultures has succeeded in the murder, and the Wuma Flower Vine is here!"

Coincidentally, the brakes that happened to be strangling the rails and sparks were completely braked, and the heavy steam locomotive stopped in front of Ma Tie in the harsh friction sound, looking at these tons of guys like ancient beasts still spewing steam, his face also instantly turned pale, the hand holding the knife trembled violently, and in a cold sweat, he simply sat on the snow.

I forgot the shock I felt when I saw this steel beast for the first time, and the old guards behind Wang Hou covered their bellies one by one, and they were all rolling on the ground with laughter!
