Chapter 192: The Imperial Expedition? (Ask for full order)

The term Xiongnu is not unfamiliar to the Chinese people, because this term is closely related to the development of civilization in the Central Plains of China, and it is inseparably entangled, until a thousand years.

But in fact, when the Xiongnu first appeared, they did not refer to a certain ethnic group, but to a certain nomadic tribe living at the junction of cold temperate forests and steppes in Siberia on the Eurasian continent.

The earliest regimes in the Central Plains called the regimes other than the Central Plains 'Beidi, Nanman, Dongyi, and Xirong'.

And these regimes outside the Central Plains, in fact, go back thousands of years, they should have been the Central Plains regimes, but they were later defeated and expelled, so they became the so-called barbarians, but in essence, they are actually in the same vein as China, and they are all descendants of Yan and Huang.

Xia Wei, the last king of the Xia Dynasty, had a son named Chunwei with the rumored princess sister who caused his demise, when Shang Tang destroyed Xia, Chunwei fled to the northern grassland with the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, and initially established the tribal regime Longfang, but hesitated that the expansion of the Shang Dynasty was too fast, resulting in Chunwei's regime being scattered in the northern part of the grassland desert many times.

It has become a historical record of the Shang Dynasty's ghosts, chaos, and mantles, the Zhou Dynasty's Qiang, and the Spring and Autumn Period's Rong and Di, which have always been active in the sight of the Central Plains regime, and the many changes in the Central Plains regime are also inextricably related to them.

But in addition to these, the Chunwei regime also continued to integrate with the ancient Indo-Europeans and the Scythians who moved eastward due to climate change, and in the process, the Chunwei regime fought countless wars with it on the Mongolian plateau and Mobei.

In the nearly 2,000 years of war, the Chunwei regime was constantly absorbing and consuming, and finally won the victory, with the memory of the ancestors to return to the Central Plains, but found that things were wrong, and at the same time, the Chunwei regime was also blocked by the remnants of the Yin Shang expelled by the Zhou Dynasty.

And in this history of blockade, all the tribes of the entire Great Khing'an Mountains and the Mongolian Plateau are merging, and the general name of this regime is Hu.

The Xiongnu is the name given by the Central Plains regime to the Hu people in the later Hetao area, and it is also a very malicious name, because the meaning of Xiongnu translates in the Yayan language as 'annoying people's cheapness'.

Because this tribe often went south to harass Yan, Zhao, Wei and other countries.

The name Xiongnu came to the stage of the Central Plains from the late Spring and Autumn Period, but in fact, the Xiongnu still respected 'Hu'.

In the "Hanshu Xiongnu Biography", it is recorded that "Shan Yu sent an envoy to the Han Shuyun: "There is a great Han in the south, and there is a strong Hu in the north." Hu, the pride of the sky, does not bother himself with small gifts. ’”

Therefore, it can be seen that the Xiongnu themselves recognized the Hu regime, so the strong Donghu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is undoubtedly the only regime of the entire Inner Mongolia and the northeastern nomads.

The Xiongnu only refers to the tribal regime located east of the Hetao, but because this tribe appeared relatively high during the Warring States period, it is considered a separate regime.

This tribe continued until Qin unified the six countries, and the defeat of Donghu led to the weakening of Donghu, and the Xiongnu took the opportunity to become independent, and then colluded with the Dayue clan and other Western Regions countries in the west, and finally annexed Donghu strongly, dominated the north, and became the henchman of the later Han Dynasty, and also laid the whip of God later.

The Xiongnu has always been one of the important topics in the archaeological field, because every excavation of the Xiongnu archaeological relics will affect the entire world-famous development history.

Because the development history of the Xiongnu is a bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations, it can be called the Silk Road in the cultural world, so Wang Xu also knows something about this regime.

If the Xiongnu at this time were able to gather enough 200,000 string-controlling soldiers to go south to attack Wang Ben, Wang Xu thought that although there would be water, it was not completely impossible.

Because from the cultural relics that have been unearthed, the Xiongnu tribes in this period actually integrated a large number of ancient Indo-European people in the Western Regions, and these ancient Indo-Europeans have long coveted China since the Yin Shang period.

After the unification of Qin Shi Huang, the most elite troops of the empire were organized into the Chengcheng army, and the Great Wall was repaired at the expense of the people and money, certainly not just to beware of the Xiongnu, who were still small tribes at this time.

After all, when the Xiongnu's Tianjiao 'Mao Dunshan Yu' ascended the throne, he was blackmailed by the king of Donghu and couldn't even keep his wife, and the Qin State didn't even guard against Donghu, so why should he be wary of the Xiongnu going south?

If we exclude that in addition to political factors, the construction of the Great Wall is likely to be militarily to guard against the invasion of ancient Indo-Europeans in the Western Regions.

Therefore, after hearing the military report passed back by Wang Li, it was specially marked that the strange-looking savage that Wang Xu was looking for was not found, but Murong Qian found a large number of aliens with 'strange appearance, red and green fur, and deep eyes and eagle noses' in the Donghu South Tent, who claimed to be from the Yue clan.

Wang Xu's first thought was that it might be because of some chain effects, which led to the early invasion of these ancient Indo-European races in the Western Regions.

Wang Xu felt that he could no longer choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, although he was very willing to see Qin and Donghu lose both, because this would buy him enough time to plan, but he did not want to see the foreign footsteps that might lead to external hidden dangers stepping into the territory of China, although he did not want to admit that if it was true that the ancient Indo-European tribes in the Western Regions entered China, it was likely that the news would be transmitted to the Parthian Empire further west.

Although I don't want to admit it, at this time, Great Qin should be tired of dealing with the expeditionary army of the Parthian Empire, causing the Central Plains, which is difficult to unify and possible, to be turbulent again.

Wang Xu didn't dare to carry this pot, so no matter what, he had to successfully assist Daqin to hold this battle, just like the Yin merchant woman Hao Wuding blocked the eastward invasion of the Aryan nation thousands of years ago.

Wang Xu carefully calculated, the available forces of Great Qin are now in Yanqi and Qi, Wang Ben 300,000 and Meng Tian 200,000 have already hollowed out all of Great Qin's troops, and the rest are troops stationed in various states and counties to suppress the local nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

Moreover, Meng Tian's 200,000 army can only be nailed to the Qi State and cannot move, because the Qi State has not surrendered so far, just to watch the battle of Yanyou come to an end, if the battle situation changes because of the addition of the Xiongnu, the Qi State is likely to have abnormal movements.

Therefore, Wang Ben's 300,000 army was completely at a disadvantage in the face of the 500,000 rangers of the Donghu Huns.

The nomads' specialty is robbery, they know that the siege is hopeless, they must choose to loot the entire Yan land, cut off the logistics of the Qin army, and then trap the Qin army alive, forcing them to go out of the city to fight to the death.

And this war is bound to be a lose-lose, comparable to the tragedy of the Battle of Changping, even if Wang Ben's command is stable and the Qin army is fierce, this team is equivalent to being wasted.

At that time, the Yan State that has surrendered is very likely to turn against the water, and once the Yan State turns against the water, then the Qi State will naturally not sit still anymore.

After rationally analyzing the battle situation, Wang Xu didn't want to think about it anymore.

The butterfly effect is the variable that Wang Xu is most reluctant to think about, but he always finds him unconsciously.

But he naturally couldn't tell anyone about these things, and the importance of this battle was difficult to express in Wang Xu's heart, but he had already made a decision to personally take someone to Yandi to transport armaments, grain and grass to Wang Li.

In this era, there is no such thing as a 'royal conquest'.

Because of the so-called aristocratic culture, the son of a daughter can't sit down, and the kings of China are all sitting in the capital to stabilize the hearts of the people, and usually they will not go out of the capital.

Of course, Xiang Yu's kind of war maniac doesn't count, and Xiang Yu can't be regarded as an emperor in the strict sense.

So when he heard that Wang Xu was going to go out in person, he was opposed by everyone.

The ink wolf, Li Qi and others knelt in a row, their faces embarrassed, "If the ministers are unable to share the worries of the emperor, the ministers should die." ”

Wang Xu smiled bitterly and held his forehead, and then threw the knife on the table that cut fruit.

The fruit knife slammed steadily into the floor, trembling slightly under the force of inertia and humming.

The ink wolf stiffened in fright, and his originally dead expression instantly became embarrassed.

Li Qi shrunk his neck and glanced at the ink wolf, pretending to be a statue.
