Chapter 148: Southern Invasion (Ask for the first decision!) )
The atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat silent.
Touman's mother boiled the goat's milk in the pot, and her face carried the vicissitudes of life unique to people outside the plug.
"Prepare, in three days, I will follow the leader south and go to plunder Zhaodi."
Touman's father's voice broke the peace in the house, and Touman and his mother's faces showed worriedness.
"Another war?"
The old man sighed: "It's not enough to fight. ”
"In these years, the generals of the Zhao people are timid and afraid of war, even if more than 100 defenders see me and two or three others, they only dare to retreat in the Wu Fort, and do not dare to fight, there is no danger."
"However, the Zhao people are extremely cunning, although they are as timid as mice, they are also well guarded, and it is difficult to loot things every time they go south."
"It's so cold this year, countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and hungry beasts are constantly attacking the sheep, if you can't loot enough food, I'm afraid you can only give up the Zhao country and turn east to plunder the Yan country."
"Yan Guo?"
Touman's mother didn't have much knowledge, so she didn't know the difference between Yan Guo and Zhao Guo at all, and her face showed doubt when she heard this.
Tou Man's face changed slightly.
"To the north of Yan is the powerful Donghu people, and the north of Yan is the hunting ground of the Donghu people, if we go to plunder the Yan country, how will those hateful Donghu people give up?"
Today's Xiongnu have not yet completed unification.
Although the Xiongnu also had Shan Yu, the entire Xiongnu royal court was just a tribal alliance composed of many tribes.
The tribal alliance seems to be a little loose after all, and there is no way to compete with Donghu at all.
It's not just Donghu, although the Xiongnu tribe is numerous, but the people are not aligned, and they don't dare to provoke the Yueshi in the West.
Historically, it was not until the boy named Touman in front of him grew up that the Xiongnu began to become truly strong.
The unification of the Xiongnu was almost the same time as the unification of the world by the Qin State.
After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Touman took the opportunity to take the Xiongnu warriors south, and established the first state power of the northern nomads - the Xiongnu Khanate, with Touman City as the center.
His son Mao Dun, after killing Touman to inherit the position of Shan Yu, destroyed Donghu in the east, chased the Yue clan in the west, swallowed Lou Fu in the south, and conquered the northern countries of Hun Geng, Qu She, Ding Ling, Qi Kun, and Xin Li.
Mao Dun also accepted Han Wangxin to surrender, and besieged Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in Baideng, and forced the Western Han Dynasty to make peace with him many times.
At that time, it was also the most prosperous years of the Xiongnu, and the Han Dynasty could only be wronged and send people and relatives.
The future glory of the Xiongnu is not mentioned for the time being.
At least for now, with the loose alliance regime of the Xiongnu, it does not dare to provoke the powerful Lin Hu at all.
It was precisely for this reason that Touman was so shocked when he learned that if the raids went south to no avail, the Xiongnu might enter the Linhu hunting ground.
"It is difficult to loot things in the north of Zhao Kingdom, if the food in the tribe is not replenished, I am afraid that most of the tribe will not survive this winter, and then they can only risk invading Yan Kingdom."
"Even if you fight with the Lin Hu people, you will not hesitate!"
Hearing this, Touman felt extremely heavy in his heart.
"Aweng, I'm going south with you!"
After being silent for a long time, Touman suddenly got up, regardless of the pain in his buttocks, and said firmly.
The old man was a little stunned at first, and then nodded and said: "You are about to grow up, and it will not be too dangerous to enter the territory of Zhao Kingdom to loot this time, and it is also a good thing for you to follow the long experience." ”
Touman was overjoyed when he heard this, covered his ass and ran out happily, and began to prepare for the south.
In the four northern counties of Zhao State, the westernmost Jiuyuan County, there are a large number of buildings living in it.
Lou Fu is the Beidi, whose militia will be strong, good at riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting, and was almost the most powerful nomadic people in the north in the past, bringing a great threat to its neighbor Zhao State.
King Wuling of Zhao also saw the strong combat effectiveness of Lou Fu, so he came up with the idea of learning from Lou Fu and other tribes and implementing the idea of 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting'.
After the success of Zhao State's implementation of 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting', his combat effectiveness really increased greatly, and for this reason, he also broke the inherent racial concept of China and recruited many brave warriors to join the army.
King Zhao Wuling's move not only greatly increased Zhao's national strength, but also accelerated national integration in disguise.
Soon, King Wuling of Zhao successively defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and defeated Zhongshan and other countries.
After King Wuling of Zhao defeated Lou Fu, he did not slaughter the people of their tribe, but instead incorporated his army, causing the two sides to begin to merge.
Over the years, although Lou Nuren has remained relatively independent, he can already be regarded as a Zhao person, entrenched in Yunzhong and Yanmen counties, and intermarried with Zhao people.
On the other hand, Lin Hu, after being defeated that year, was expelled by King Wuling of Zhao to the northeast, and finally entrenched in the north of Yan State, and gradually became a powerful nomadic people.
Many of the warriors under Li Mu's command are from the Loufu tribe.
They have the ferocity and good fighting of the nomads, but they also have the obedience and discipline of the Zhao people, which can be regarded as the best source of troops.
The reason why the Zhao army is strong in combat is also inseparable from the fact that Lou is full of annoying.
North of Yanmen County.
The two Lou Fu warriors were wearing Zhao Jun armor and shrunk in the haystack, their faces a little unsatisfied.
"Qi, today I actually got meat again, it is said that it was assigned by General Li Mu."
The soldier with a rough face said to the slightly immature Qi, with satisfaction and gratitude in his eyes.
"Hulie, don't grab it so fast next time, leave me more."
Qi Na's slightly immature face was a little resentful, obviously because Hu Lie ate too much when he was dividing the meat.
"Hahaha, I'm strong, naturally I have to eat more, you little cub is so thin, can't you give me more!"
Hu Lie looked at Kai, who was like an angry little daughter-in-law, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, and laughed heartily.
Kai rolled his eyes, but didn't say much.
"Stomp, stomp!"
Suddenly, the ground began to shake slightly, and both Hulie and Kai were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly walked out of the haystack to look north.
"The Huns are coming!"
Hulie shouted.
Kai didn't hesitate at all, and directly lit the haystack next to him with flint.
"Hurry up!"
The haystack mixed with wolf dung was ignited, and the billowing wolf smoke suddenly rose into the sky, and the people in a radius of dozens of miles could see it.
Hu Lie didn't dare to hesitate at all, and after shouting at Qi, he mounted his war horse and galloped towards the south.
Qi didn't dare to slack off, turned over and followed closely on the horse.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The war horses galloped, and the nervous look on the faces of the two was cut by half.
As long as the wolf smoke is lit to remind the rest of the people, as long as the two of them ride on the war horse, even if there are more Huns, they will not be afraid of the warriors.
Can't beat it, can't you run away?
Soon, however, the faces of the two became unsightly.
Just because the shouting behind him was very loud, it was obvious that the Huns were routinely laughing again, and they ridiculed Lou for being annoying and fearless.
"Damn, if it weren't for General Li Mu's order, not to fight with the Huns, I would have let these bastards see the annoying power of my building!"
Hu Lie was angry and spat fiercely on the ground, his face extremely gloomy.
Qi also pursed his lips tightly, with anger in his eyes.
