Chapter 1069: The Man Behind History
"You're not really going to leave me alone, are you?" Zhang Fei said with a wry smile.
"If you want to become a famous general, you can't bypass this road, don't you want to help Xuande Gong Kuang help the Han family?" Chen Xi stared at Zhang Fei and said, "You are Zhang Yide, who is not afraid of heaven and earth!" ”
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and didn't answer the question, it was because he knew his ability that he would be so cautious, next year's attack on the Hu people in the north will definitely be a very tragic war, and therefore once he becomes the boss, then the responsibility on his shoulders will be very heavy, and the Hu people in northern Xinjiang will fight for survival at that time!
Although the princes of the Central Plains basically have a sneering attitude towards the combat effectiveness of the Hu people, but the quantity and quality are justified in any case, this heavy snowfall has delayed the invasion of most of the northern Xinjiang, but it has also made the Hu people, who were already short of food, even more scarce.
I am afraid that by the beginning of spring next year, the Hu people will already be as crazy as the hungry and blue-eyed wolves on the grassland, and they will not need any reason at all, and they may even attack in full force before the ice and snow have completely melted.
After all, they are all two arms and one head, and after being extremely hungry, the Hu people, who have lost all their fears, burst out in a moment of combat effectiveness, which must not be underestimated.
In fact, at this time, it is the best choice to sell grain to the Hu people and provoke a war between the Hu people, but unfortunately the snow in the north is really more than Chen Xi's estimate, and the road is basically blocked, even if it is a plain, there is no way to determine the direction, and several of the intelligence officers sent by Jia Xu to investigate have been buried in the snow field because they can't distinguish the direction and day and night.
This is also the first time Chen Xi has a concept of blizzard, the snow in northern Xinjiang has fallen to the point where it is impossible to distinguish day and night, when to raise his head. The sky was gray, and there were ice slag and snowflakes flying in the sky all the time. Even when it doesn't snow, strong winds bring ice slag from afar. Endlessly, north of Youzhou, the whole is gray and endlessly snowing!
Jia Xu told Chen Xi before that according to his experience, the Hu people in northern Xinjiang would freeze to death in this heavy snowfall, and more than 100,000 people would starve to death, but there would definitely be a huge southward raid after the year.
Unlike the small-scale raids, the raids brought about by this level of snow were close to near-death madness, and the Hu people were considered a failure. They will also grit their teeth and fight to the death, either to get enough provisions, or to reduce the population to the point where they can be replenished enough.
It is an extremely cruel and bloody way, but the Hu people in northern Xinjiang have relied on this way to survive crises again and again, avoiding the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, and it is precisely under the inspiration of that cruelty and bloodiness that the combat effectiveness of the Hu people will reach another height, or the danger of extermination blinds the fear.
Speaking of which, when Jia Xu told Chen Xi about this, Chen Xi was still a little unimpressed. Living in this era, Chen Xi, who has always been the leader, naturally thinks that his eyes have seen through history, and it is impossible for there to be a major event that is enough to blind him, but with Jia Xu's narration. Chen Xi finally realized that he had not reached the point of observing everything.
Compared with his impression of the subtleties of history, Chen Xi believes in an old fox like Jia Xu more. This guy has never been unlucky in his life, and the guy who did a basket of bad things finally made it to the third public steadily. You must know that in addition to the requirements of the three dukes of the Han Dynasty, one more thing is reputation. Jia Xu cheated the Han family many times, but in the end there was no hair, this ability, Chen Xi had to accept it.
With Jia Xu's explanation, Chen Xi has a certain understanding of the cruel and bloody way of reducing the number of Ding described by Jia Xu, and to put it bluntly, this is the way of survival of the fittest of the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang.
A heavy snow that is enough to cut off food for all the tribes, all the Hu people in the north will wait until the snow stops, and after the roads in the north reach the level of marching, all the Hu people will migrate en masse.
The small tribes merged into the big tribes, and the big tribes followed the royal court and began to attack the Great Wall, which was different from the coordinated battle between the big tribes in the grass valley, and the battle of this scale would almost affect the entire northern frontier.
Either grab enough food, or kill the tribesmen in battle to the point that there is enough food to eat, it's as simple and bloody as that.
After listening to Jia Xu's narration, Chen Xi's first reaction was not shock, nor was it fear, even if the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang collectively went south, Liu Bei was not unstoppable, and he really fought hard to stagnate the internal construction, and the combat power that Liu Bei could burst out on his side was definitely enough to suppress all the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang.
Chen Xi's first reaction was whether there was such a thing at this point in time in history, if not, what caused the climate change, which was not something that his personal activities could interfere with, of course, it could also be a side effect of spiritual talent, but soon Chen Xi ruled out this.
In history, this invasion of the Hu people in northern Xinjiang may have really happened, because when Chen Xi was thinking, he suddenly remembered the difference between the map of the Three Kingdoms and the map of the late Han Dynasty, the north of the map of the Three Kingdoms and the state is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and the map of the late Han Dynasty includes the Hetao Plain.
That is to say, during the Three Kingdoms period, the annexation of the state was basically gone, and Chang'an was basically under the Hu people's troops, which can also explain why Chang'an was farther away from Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao also moved Liu Xie to Chenliu, a place closer to the great enemy Yuan Shao, because at this time the Hu people were already close to Chang'an.
Thinking about the time again, it seems that it is this point in time, and soon after that, Ju Yi and the Xiongnu, Xianbei did a game west of Yecheng, thinking about where Yecheng is, Chen Xi couldn't help but be surprised, that is to say, at that time, the Hu people had gone deep into the hinterland of the Han family.
Combining the two, Chen Xi discovered a fact that made him extremely frightened, when history rolled to the beginning of next year, Hu Ren, who had always been ignored by him, pushed the battle line not far from Yongzhou Sili in one go.
This is simply a hell, although Bingzhou was half-dead by Yuan Shao in history, and Lu Bu has never returned to Mergezhou, but it will not be beaten like this by the Hu people, this is simply unscientific!
Of course, Chen Xi is not denying the second goods of history, on the contrary, he is very smart, since this kind of thing can happen, that is to say, the Hu people have shown far more combat effectiveness than imagined, otherwise they will not push the battle line to Yongzhou for a hundred miles in one go, this situation can only show that the soldiers on the border of the state have been defeated.
Similarly, what kind of combat strength the enemy in the north is, Chen Xi also had some guesses, and even Chen Xi guessed which barbarian would be the one who would connect and even command the southward invasion at that time!
No, for that tribe, it should no longer be called a barbarian, because it was once an empire, a king of the steppe who had been dead for more than two hundred years and was still fighting with the Han Empire thirty years ago - the Northern Xiongnu!
