At a time when the map of power in the north and the Central Plains was undergoing major changes, the Hu people, who were entrenched in the southern region of the Great Wei Dynasty, had already entered a period of stability in their rule over the entire southern region.

Nowadays, most of the southwest and the entire southern region have almost become the world of the Hu people.

The reason why it is most of the southwest and not the entire southwest region is because when the eldest prince of the Great Turkic Dynasty, Arobu, discussed with the leaders of the Tianlu tribe to form an alliance between the two clans to invade the Great Wei, he had already agreed that the Tianlu tribe would assist the Hu army to enter the Great Wei through the southwest plateau, on the condition that the entire southwest plateau and the surrounding areas would be owned by the Tianlu tribe in the future.

Therefore, only half of the southwest region belongs to the Hu people, and the rest of the areas near the southwest plateau are ruled by the Tianlu people.

After successfully conquering the southern region, the Great Turkic king Batuya immediately sent a large number of Hu people to move through the southwest plateau to the interior of the Great Wei.

Although the southwest and southern regions are not as rich and prosperous as Jiangnan, compared to the cold and barren Saiwai, it is simply a paradise on earth for the Hu people.

As the king of the Great Turks, Batua will naturally give priority to his own people and cronies to come here to enjoy the warm and pleasant climate and abundant environment of the southern region.

After several years of successive migrations, the Hu people in the inland area have now reached more than 700,000 people, most of whom are members of the Shazhen tribe of the king's own clan, as well as his cronies.

Although the Hu people do not know how to farm and do not produce, there are millions of Han Chinese people who can be used as slaves for them, even if they lie down and do nothing, they can enjoy a comfortable life that they never dared to think of before.

Therefore, as long as the Hu people who have been to the southern region have forgotten to return here, they are not willing to leave at all.

In order to prevent the local Han people from rebelling, the Hu people ruled the Han people very harshly.

Once someone is found to be disobedient, they will be severely beaten at least and killed on the spot, without mercy.

Under the high-pressure rule of the Hu people, millions of Han people in the southwest and southern regions almost lost the courage to resist, and all of them became slaves of the Hu people.

Of course, the Hu people have been established for a hundred years, and the high-level Hu people are not stupid, they naturally know the truth of looseness and tightness, and they also know how to govern the Han with Han.

While treating all the common people as slaves, they also let some Han officials act as their minions to govern the ordinary Han people everywhere.

Just like the reason why the modern two devils are often more ruthless than the foreign devils, is to show loyalty to their new foreign fathers and set up a memorial arch.

The same is true for these traitor officials.

In order to save their lives, these traitor officials naturally spared no effort to cooperate with the Hu people to carry out strict governance over the people in various places, and they were even more ruthless than the Hu people.

In the southwest and south, the vast majority of Han Chinese became inferior slaves and lived like livestock.

The worst thing is that the kind of Han women who have a little beauty, almost without exception, are all kidnapped by Hu officers or soldiers, and become female slaves who are arbitrarily humiliated, which is extremely miserable.

As Mr. Zhang Wenxuan said back then, once the Hu people gain a firm foothold in the inland areas of the Great Wei Dynasty, the entire southwest and even the south region will become a hell on earth for millions of Han people, which is not wrong at all.

Although the southern region has completely become the world of the Hu people, the eldest prince Arobu did not dare to relax in the slightest, and still asked his Hu soldiers to step up their training, just in case.

This so-called case is not the Great Wei court, which has moved its capital to Jiangnan, but the Northwest Army, which is wantonly attacking cities and plundering land in the northern region, that is, the army of the Ning family.

The reason why the Hu people were so jealous of the Northwest Army, which was thousands of miles away, was not only because the two sides had always been opponents of chess and drums, but more importantly, the Hu people were frightened by the "ghost thunder" used by the Northwest Army a few years ago, which produced a strong psychological shadow.

Three years ago, the Great Turk royal family and the Xie family secretly agreed that once the Xie family led a large army to attack the northwest and successfully captured the three capital cities, the Great Turk side would lead a large army to enter from the northern border, and fight with the Xie family before and after, and work together to strangle the northwest army.

Of course, the king of the Great Turks, Batuya, and the third prince, Adullah, knew that the Xie family wanted to use their Hu people to eradicate the Ning family's henchmen.

But even so, they were still willing to cooperate with the Xie family and implement this strangulation plan together.

The reason is very simple, the Great Turk Royal Family knows very well that if it wants to completely annex Great Wei, it must eradicate the Ning family, a great enemy.

Now while the Xie family and the Ning family are fighting, they Hu people just happened to serve it to a pot.

This is the reason why the Great Turk Royal Royalty is still willing to cooperate with the dispatch of troops after knowing the Xie family's intentions.

When the Xie family tried their best to take the three cities, the king of the Great Turks, Batuya, immediately sent his third prince Adulla to lead an army of more than 200,000 to take the opportunity to attack Fuyuan City, a border town.

Originally, everything went well, but at that time, Fuyuan City only had about 40,000 defenders, less than one-fifth of Hu's army.

With such a force, it is absolutely impossible to stop the army of more than 200,000 Hu people from attacking the city with all their might.

But no one expected that just when everyone thought that Fuyuan City would definitely be captured, the Northwest Army used a brand-new weapon "Ghost Thunder" that no one had ever seen before to conduct a defensive battle.

I don't know what the "ghost thunder" is made of, and once it explodes in the crowd, it will cause a lot of casualties.

Even if you wear armor, it's useless, you will still be injured or killed, and it is not at all something that flesh and blood can resist.

The Northwest Army relied on this powerful "ghost thunder" to stubbornly defend Fuyuan City, with less than 1,000 casualties.

On the other hand, on the Hu side, because of the quick success of the third prince Adullah, he still sent a large number of soldiers to forcibly attack the city regardless of the casualties of the soldiers, resulting in the exaggerated number of Hu soldiers approaching 100,000 in just a few days.

In the end, because of the mutiny in the army, no tribal leader was willing to send his own people to die in vain, and the third prince Adullah had to be forced to retreat.

Regarding the fiasco of the third prince Adullah, the eldest prince Arobu couldn't help but worry while stealing joy.

Arobu knew that this half-brother had always been eyeing the throne and was a strong contender for the throne.

The Hu people have always respected the strong, but now that Adullah has returned from a fiasco, his father and many clan leaders will naturally have a sharp drop in his evaluation, and his personal reputation has also fallen to the bottom, and he has basically lost the possibility of inheriting the throne.

The absence of a threatening contender for the throne is of course a good thing, but in that border attack and defense battle, the "ghost thunder" used by the Northwest Army also caused the eldest prince Arobu to worry.

Since he was not at the scene at the time, he had not seen what the "ghost thunder" looked like, so he could only roughly imagine it through the description of the spies.

What's even more regrettable is that because the Hu soldiers are all afraid of the ghost thunder, they don't dare to stay on the battlefield for a long time, so that no one can find the physical object or residue of the "ghost thunder" on the battlefield, otherwise they can be disassembled to study the structure inside.

Fortunately, the "ghost thunder" can only be used to defend the city, which somewhat reassures the eldest prince Arobu.

But no matter what, he didn't figure out what the "ghost thunder" was for a day, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In addition to this "ghost thunder", the spies in the northwest came with an even more shocking news.

When the Northwest Army was engaged in a head-to-head battle with the large army led by the Xie family, it actually used a new weapon that had never been seen before.

The new weapon looked like a normal iron rod, but it could breathe fire and smoke, and could kill enemies at a distance greater than a bow and arrow.

The army led by the Xie family was defeated and fled under the repeated attacks of this new weapon.

Just one "ghost thunder" is already unsettling, and now with this new fire-breathing weapon, it makes the eldest prince Arrob feel even more restless.

In just a few years, why did the Ning family suddenly have so many new weapons that were unheard of, but with amazing lethality?

Today's Ning family and the Northwest Army make the eldest prince Arobu feel strange and terrifying.

Therefore, even if he had successfully occupied the entire southern region, the eldest prince Arobu still did not dare to relax in the slightest, not only still let the soldiers under his command step up their training, but also forced a large number of Han craftsmen to try their best to imitate and make weapons similar to "ghost thunder".

He believed that one day, they would confront the Northwest Army.

At that point, it's a real battle of life and death.

He was not the only one who had the same idea, and that night, Mr. Qiu, the mastermind of the eldest prince Arobu, suddenly came to the door and asked for an audience, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.
