Killing the cow and the tiger falling are all generals from Dayuan, and they are always under the direct management of the five hundred masters who always carry two pot helmets behind their backs. Although it is the "Rong Di" in the broad sense of the Central Plains people, after being ruled by Qin for a hundred years, compared with the Hulu of the Xiongnu, Dayuan Rong is more similar to the Qin people.

Since receiving the promise of the emperor and the lieutenant Heifu of the northern county that the Rong people could obtain pastures by beheading the army, almost every family in Ohara Rong sent a son to join the northern expedition team, and they were the main force of the northern cavalry.

The cavalry, as the scout vanguard of the army, always explored far ahead, and after leaving Huamachi, they trekked for ten days in the wilderness of the yellow sand borderland, and it was difficult to see a little greenery in the middle except for a little vegetation in Shenquan Mountain.

They walked on the edge of the desert, a dry and inhospitable land full of dead poplars and bone-dry riverbeds. Forage is hard to find, and horses depend on hard, brown grass that grows under rocks and at the bottom of dead trees. There was less water, only shallow pools of bitter water exposed to the scorching sun, and the deeper you went into the wasteland, the smaller the pools you found, and the longer the distance between them.

It wasn't until ten days later, after crossing a mountain, that the two generals who walked in the forefront, Killing Bull and Tiger Luohuai, were stunned by the large green that suddenly appeared in front of them!

They saw a pale yellow river flowing more than ten miles away, and on both sides of the river, there were lush meadows! Sparkling swamps and lakes dot it, the east bank has abundant water and grass, the west bank is an endless grassland, and the place adjacent to the snow-capped Helan Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, is a large forest!

The Yellow River is the mother of the Yangtze River, which brings abundant fresh water, and Helan Mountain, like its father, is a natural barrier to the Ningxia Plain because of its tall body, blocking the eastward movement of the desert and weakening the invasion of the cold current in the northwest.

"This is the place where the emperor and the county lieutenant promised Ohara no Rong to flow honey and milk?"

Killing the cow and the tiger Luohuai looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but turn over and dismount, bursting into tears.

Although the Dayuan of Beidi County is good, the place is too small to support too many herdsmen, and the Qin Dynasty government does not allow the Rong people to move out, so the five departments of Dayuan have to fight and kill each other every year to compete for water sources and pastures, and at the same time reduce their own population.

Ordinary Qin people were eager to cultivate land, and they also longed for fertile pastures where cattle and sheep could be domesticated.

And this green plain in front of me continues to extend north and south along the big river, and the size is at least ten times that of the big plain!

If the Huns entrenched here can be driven away, all the five parts of their Great Plains will migrate, and they will not occupy one-tenth of the grassland!

"It's not just the Great Plains, at least 10,000 families can settle down and multiply here!"

Fu Zhi then also climbed this mountain, which was a place that the Qin soldiers had never set foot on, and they only knew from Chen Ping and Wu Shiyan's descriptions that there was such a plain with abundant water and grass, but they were a little disbelieving.

Now, seeing is believing, and there are indeed several new counties that can be established here for immigrants to open up tuntian!

Hundreds of Qin cavalry appeared on the hill on the east bank of the river, which immediately attracted the attention of the local cavalry who had been roaming for a long time, and hundreds of cavalry roared on the plain, Fu Zhi immediately asked his subordinates to be on guard, until more than two miles away, he could clearly see the banner of the Qin army that those cavalry were waving......

"It's my own people, it's Longxi soldiers."

Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, led people to pat their horses forward, and joined the Longxi cavalry who came over.

"Longxi cavalry general Qiang Huang! On the orders of Lieutenant Li, wait here for the Northland Army! ”

The young general who greeted him immediately reported his name, Fu Zhi was stunned for a moment, so to speak, the person in front of him was his friend Qiang Hua's cousin, no wonder the faces were somewhat similar, and even the arrogance was carved out of a mold. But Qiang Hua was injured by the Hun eagle shooters in Shenquan Mountain, and he couldn't come to the front line.

He didn't want to tell Qiang Huang about it for the time being, so he only reported his name.

"General Wei will be able to arrive at the river tomorrow and join General Li one day after us!"

"This is very good, General Li has led his troops to the west bank of the river to station, and it just so happens that there is something, and I hope that the five hundred masters of Fu can report back to General Wei quickly."

Qiang Huang arched his hand and said: "Things have changed, we have been exploring for two days, but we found that there is not a single felt tent in the huge Helan grassland, not a Hun man!" ”

……

Twenty miles away, at the Northland Army, which was stretching forward, Heifu, whose lips were dry from the wind and sand outside the fortress, stood on the chariot, finished reading the report from Longxi Houqi, and frowned.

The Che Right Gongao beside him optimistically guessed: "The Xiongnu must have been burned all the way to Qingshan Gorge by the Longxi army after the last battle of Huamachi, and they were afraid of the Qin army, and when they heard that the army was coming, they fled." ”

"Not really."

Heifu shook his head: "Chen Ping will report all the details of his dealings with the Huns, so I know that although they have their own land, because Wucheng Guo is often in the field of farming, cattle and sheep live in water and grass, so in a year, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of miles of migration are common. ”

"Therefore, you must not speculate on the actions of the Huns from the thoughts of the Qin people."

Qin fought with the Six Kingdoms, the army went on an expedition, the enemy would definitely garrison the enemy at a certain pass, and would never let the enemy enter the country for half a step, and their people, although they would also flee their hometowns due to the war, but at that time, they were forced to leave their hometowns until an extraordinary moment, because that meant abandoning all their property and family business accumulated for generations.

But the Xiongnu are different, for the Huns, the most important property is cattle and sheep, and cattle and sheep are to migrate and graze, where the cattle and sheep go, the Huns will settle their homes.

The Qin Dynasty hoarded grain in the past six months, recruited soldiers to prepare for a large-scale outbreak, and the Xiongnu, who were aware of Qin's intention to destroy themselves, were not idle, but they would not be stupid to stay where they were, like the country of the crown belt, guarding every pasture, and they had enough time to move the population and herd to other places.

Not to mention the Helan grassland, the Huns were forced to be in a hurry, even if it was Touman City, even if it was just the royal court, they would probably give up.

"This method has two advantages, even if our army occupies Helan, it will not be able to obtain livestock from the local area as supplies, but will stretch the supply line."

The Qin army was dominated by foot soldiers, and the longer the supply line, the fewer soldiers were able to advance.

In this way, the Huns were given the opportunity to concentrate their forces and break through each other......

You don't need to take care of the strength of your family, you can step on a horse, carry a bow and arrow, gather somewhere under the call of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and follow the Shan Yu eagle banner to roar, enough to travel a hundred miles a day and launch a surprise attack......

"The Huns are famous for bullying the weak and fearing the hard!"

Thinking about it like this, Heifu felt that in addition to the army of Shangjun and Yunzhong, the other three partial divisions were in danger!

He ordered the waiting horse: "Go and inform General Li immediately, the two armies of Longxi and Beidi will immediately gather together tomorrow and slowly advance north together to find the whereabouts of the Huns!" ”

After thinking about it, he called Gan Chong, the son of the good family: "Gan Chong, you take a hundred horsemen to the northeast, go two hundred miles away, Chen Ping said, the oily Dufutu River upstream, inform the Feng Zao General Headquarters in the Aries Department, please be careful!" ”

……

When the horse's hooves and whistling were heard in the distance, Ulan the Condor Archer raised his head vigilantly, his mouth still stained with scales.

After all the Huns in the Helan grassland migrated west and north and left, it was not a wise choice to stay behind to reconnoitre. The Qin army was too many, more than all the Huns on this steppe combined, and they also trained a good cavalry army, with one enemy and three times, the Hun scouts were defeated, and only Ulan, a skilled cavalry archer, could escape.

His subordinates were either dead or dead, leaving only Ulan alone to escape the pursuit of the Qin cavalry in the night. Thanks to his many years of hunting in this land and his familiarity with the terrain, Ulan bypassed the dense scout troops of the Qin army, went out day and night, and rode north along the great river.

As Ulan passed through the territory of the Aries tribe, he encountered a group of Aries fleeing from the upper reaches of the Oil River, who panicked and said that warriors dressed in black and holding shields had invaded their tribe and were marching towards it.

"Thirty-three."

Ulan made an oath to the sky and to Helan Mountain, he would kill a hundred Qin people to avenge his people, and now in several battles, only thirty-three people were shot dead, and there were many shorts. He resisted the urge to go up the river and ambush those arrogant Qin horses, and continued north, he was going to find Dadanghu and tell him that the Qin people had occupied Shenquan, Helan, and Baiyang!

They were like greedy black crows who wanted to devour all the meadows where the Huns grazed.

Thinking so, Ulan shot a black fish that was swimming by the river, as if it were also his enemy, and simply cut off its internal organs with a knife, tore off the scales from its mouth, and began to chew on the pink flesh.

The scouts of the Qin people may be not far behind him, and they live here slowly, and they are self-defeating.

Just as Ulan was eating raw fish, two Hun riders who came to the river to draw water found him!

After that, one person walked alone and became three people riding together, and the two young horsemen were very excited when they knew that he was the famous eagle archer Ulan on the Helan grassland, and they kept sharing the migration of the tribe during this time.

Ulan listened carefully, not mentioning his own experience, he was afraid that it would discourage the courage of the two young men.

Not everyone can face the rolling and overwhelming black wave safely!

They encountered more and more scouts, and everywhere they were encamped Huns: only men taller than the horse's shoulders, few women, old people, and children.

Knowing that he was the last group to break the latter after returning from Helan, the people who led the way for Ulan also changed several waves, and they finally passed through the ten-mile felt tent and arrived at the center of the camp......

Outside the tent, a tall banner was planted in a pile of stones, and on top of it was a silver disc with tassels made of silver stallion's mane fixed along the edges, and in the center of the disc stood a golden eagle with wings ready to fly......

Ulan was an eagle shooter, and even in the face of the big man, he only had to bow, but when he saw this flag, he dismounted, knelt down on one knee, put his hand on his chest, and lowered his head.

He uttered a sentence that all real Hun warriors are familiar with!

"Don't ask where the royal court is!"

"As long as the Eagle Banner is there, it is the royal court!"
