In northern Xinjiang, the life of foreign races is getting more and more difficult. Gongsun Zhan chased Xianbei and Wuhuan with the support of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao was also driven by the family to fight the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou.

Originally, these three alien families saw that the Han was in turmoil, and they had some other thoughts, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to rise. I didn't expect the situation to change so quickly in this year.

Originally, he could still crisscross the two states at will, and fight with the Han Dynasty as a prominent northern alien race. Now facing Yuan Shao, who only owns one place in Youzhou and two states in Hebei, he was beaten and couldn't raise his head at all, and he had no power to fight back.

Especially Gongsun Zhan, his playing style is extremely scoundrel. The 50,000 iron horsemen under his command are all elites, broken into pieces, and roaming the grassland. Gongsun Zhan, who was well versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare, exerted the power of the light cavalry to the limit, and was even more shameless than the alien race, like a locust, frantically plundering the population and wealth of the grassland.

The Youzhou Iron Cavalry under Gongsun Zhan is basically the elite of the elite, not to mention that the opponents are these Hu people, and they can often fight with a loss of 1:5 or even 1:10 in frontal battles. Over time, the invincible psychology of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry rose in the hearts of the alien races in the grassland, which made the level of the alien race in the face of the Youzhou soldiers lower and lower, and the battle losses of the two sides were further expanded, and gradually formed a situation where the aliens fled as soon as they encountered the Youzhou army.

Gongsun Zhan, the white horse general, seems to have become even more frustrated after "losing" the white horse righteous servant. In the past, the alien races in the north were only afraid of the white horse Yicong, but now because of Gongsun Zhan's consciousness and Yuan Shu's advice, the entire Youzhou army has gone crazy.

There is no way, military merit, wealth, and the number of troops under command are directly linked to the battle record. Many capable talents have relied on their own strong ability to directly complete the gorgeous transformation from small soldiers to generals.

Under Yuan Shu's slight suggestion, Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry, which was originally only 30,000, directly became 50,000 in just half a year. According to our party's strategy of expanding the armed forces during the war, the speed of military expansion was so terrifying that it was like a snowball.

If it weren't for the sparse population of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan's reluctance to include foreign races in his army like the Xiliang Army, Yuan Shu even doubted that according to this policy, Gongsun Chan would be able to pull out 200,000 iron cavalry within two years. After all, our party once accomplished the feat of expanding the army by one million within 10 years.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao had been busy with the issue of merging states and did not find out the expansion speed of Gongsun Zhan's army, otherwise Yuan Shao would have come desperately to conquer it.

Just kidding, at this rate, let Gongsun Chan develop for two years, and Yuan Shao has to kneel even if he has the support of the family.

However, even if Gongsun Chan hid it deeply, Yuan Shao gradually noticed that something was wrong. Of course, Wuhuan and Xianbei know more about this, after all, the losses are increasing every month, and fools can also detect that something is wrong.

Due to Gongsun Zhan's prestige, the leaders of Wuhuan and Xianbei did not resist Gongsun Zhan's aggression at first. I thought this was Gongsun Zhan's last madness, just to avenge an act of revenge from the northern alien race.

But after a long time, they realized that something was wrong. In the past, Gongsun Chan had not been without the move of the Northern Expedition to foreign races, but he generally supported a retreat after a month or two due to lack of logistics. In addition, the army under the command of Gongsun Chan is indeed elite, even the leader of Wuhuan, Bang Dun, and the leader of Xianbei, He Lian, are not willing to fight Gongsun Chan easily, so they have always turned a blind eye to this. After letting Gongsun Chan toss around, it passed.

But this time the situation was completely different, Gongsun Zhan's attack seemed endless, not abating in the slightest, and even becoming more and more violent. The losses were so great that he couldn't bear them anymore.

"Helian, this time Gongsun Chan is probably determined to destroy our two clans. More than a dozen tribes have been wiped out in our Wuhuan, and nearly 100,000 people have been lost. If we continue at this rate, I'm afraid that my Wuhuan will cease to exist in less than two years. ”

Faced with the threat of Gongsun Zhan, Xianbei and Wu Huan, who had always been at odds, also had to come together. The leader of the Wuhuan group, Badun, was the first to find Helian.

If Badun is still an alien hero, Helian is a little unworthy of his name. His father, Tan Shihuai, is indeed an immortal hero, unifying Xianbei, seizing the homeland of the Huns, defeating Fuyu in the east, attacking Wusun in the west, and chasing Ding Ling in the north.

Each one by one is the heroic achievements of the sandalwood acacia. He can be said to have single-handedly led Xianbei to become strong, even comparable to the Northern Xiongnu back then, forcing the Han family to make peace with him, and he refused.

is such a heroic figure, but it is a pity that there is no successor. Helian is completely a typical tiger father and dog son compared to his father, not to mention leading Xianbei to continue to grow, even the position of this Xianbei leader is not stable.

"You and I both know the situation in Youzhou, it's good to be able to raise an army of 100,000, where did Gongsun Chan get the money and food to support the battle for most of the year?" He Lian said with the same sad face.

Compared with Wu Huan, who was thriving under the leadership of Bun Dun, the Xianbei under his command had gradually declined, and he was not Gongsun Zhan's opponent at all, and he didn't even have the ability to block it a little. Although Helian is addicted to wine and is immoral and incompetent, he is not stupid. If this continues, even if the tribal leaders below do not rebel, he, the leader of Xianbei, will have to become Gongsun Zhan's subordinate prisoner sooner or later.

"I know a little bit about that." Bunton obviously made full preparations for coming this time, and he had already found out a lot of news.

"It should be the food provided by Yuan Shu of the Great Han Jiangdong to supply Gongsun Zan to attack us."

"The Han people are treacherous, they won't shoot for no reason if they have no interests, is it possible that this Yuan Shu is related to Gongsun Zhan?" And Lian was skeptical.

"No, it's supposed to be a transactional relationship."

"Deal?"

"That's right."

Bang Dun sighed lightly: "According to the inquiries of my subordinates, Yuan Shu of Jiangdong used a large amount of money and grain and Gongsun Chan to plunder the clansmen, cattle and sheep we obtained, so that Gongsun Chan not only did not lose any loss every time he attacked us, but also obtained a large amount of money and grain to recruit troops. This kind of transaction has been going on for more than half a year and has never been truncated. It is said that the Yuan Highway in Jiangdong is extremely rich, and the money and food in his hands are enough to arm a million army, if I wait to sit still like this, I am afraid that we will follow in the footsteps of the Northern Xiongnu. ”

He Lian gasped and said with a look of horror: "Is that really the case? If that's the case, I'm afraid our two clans will be in great trouble! ”

He Lian and Bang Dun are very clear about the gap between themselves and the Great Han, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not of the same level at all. If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty needed to spend a lot of money and grain to guard the frontier, and there was not much food to supply the army to go on the expedition, I'm afraid they would have finished the game long ago.

The reason why they have always been in the initiative in the battle with the big Han is that they are completely barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. They have nothing, and when there is a shortage of food, they can temporarily solve the food problem whether they win or lose.

On the contrary, the Han army's attack on them basically has little to gain. There is no point in spending a lot of money and gaining peace for a short time, so they can stay free until today.

But now, if Gongsun Chan attacks them, not only will they not spend money and food, but they will also earn a lot of money and food, and the end of these alien races will come.
