The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

This is a poem that Li Yi remembered when he endorsed it in his previous life, although he has forgotten which poem this poem came from, but I don't know why, this poem has always stayed in his mind. And now, when he crossed the Yin Mountain through Guanglu Fortress and officially entered the northern prairie, Li Yi immediately remembered this poem.

Speaking of which, Jiuyuan County, where Li Yi is located, can be regarded as a grassland city, because even a Han family like the Li family has a large number of animal husbandry industries under its command, not to mention the grasslands around Jiuyuan County.

But even so, when he was in Jiuyuan County or now in Manbo County, Li Yi did not have this kind of sky-wide idea, because whether it is Jiuyuan or Manbai, you can easily feel the traces of Han Dynasty culture and that kind of farming civilization.

And now, crossing the Yin Mountain, it is as if he has entered the primeval forest from the city all of a sudden, and the endless prairie is connected to the sky like the sea, which makes Li Yi suddenly feel that he is so small.

"My lord?" Lu Bu looked at Li Yi strangely and reminded in a low voice, he obviously didn't feel Li Yi's feeling, or in his eyes, the scene in front of him was not much different from when he was in Jiuyuan or Mambo before, it was nothing more than no city and less arable land.

"With such a vast grassland, it is no wonder that in the past, with the Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible to completely eliminate Hulu." Li Yi sighed, and at the same time silently praised his quick wit in his heart.

Hearing this, Lu Bu turned his head to look at the vast grassland thoughtfully, while Li Yi took out the map and began to check it. This map was bought by Li Yi from the Huns who lived in Jiuyuan County and had a good relationship, although it was a little old, but then Li Yi asked Cao Xing to take people to check it, and basically it can be said that there is not much error.

The main water sources and the location of the tribe are marked on the map, and of course, the most important thing is to help Li Yi and others judge the location. You must know that the people of this era have a much stronger sense of orientation than later generations, and a simple map is enough for them to come and go freely in the grassland.

Of course, it is impossible for nomads to stay in one place all the time, but the location of these tribes can give Li Yi a clearer reference direction, a direction on how to raid the many Hu tribes in the Xianbei country.

Speaking of which, before the Han Dynasty, there were countless nomadic tribes outside the Central Plains, such as Hujie, Xiongnu, Ding Ling, Fuyu, Wofu, Wusun, Qiang, and Yueshi...... These are still some powerful tribes with at least 10,000 troops or more, and the number of those small tribes is not at all possible for anyone to calculate. They are fighting each other for the most fertile grasslands.

During this period, although these nomadic peoples in the north also brought harm to the Central Plains, it was nothing more. It was not until the emergence of Maodun that the Xiongnu unified and then dominated the entire northern steppe to establish the Xiongnu Kingdom, and the northern nomads really became the henchmen of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But even so, the nomadic nature of the people made it impossible to bring all the tribes together. In fact, up to now, although Tan Shihuai led the Xianbei people to rise and inherited everything from the Xiongnu Kingdom, except for the Xianbei royal court, the left and right Xian kings and some powerful tribes, most of the tribes still maintain the scale of hundreds of thousands of people, scattered on the boundless steppe.

The Alibuda tribe is such a tribe, with a scale of about 400 people, which makes this tribe so inconspicuous in the entire grassland, and even the vast majority of Xianbei people may not have heard of such a tribe.

On the edge of the stream, a 3 or 4-year-old Xianbei girl was playing in the stream, and on the side, a teenager in her teens was looking at her with a worried face, it should be her brother, right? And next to the two of them, a horse and dozens of sheep are quietly eating grass and drinking, and it looks like a beautiful picture.

But at this moment, a loud, long, and rapid horn sounded, and the boy jumped up from the grass in shock, rushed to the girl's side, dragged her out of the stream, and casually put on her clothes, and carried her directly on the horse's back.

He shouted an inexplicable slogan, and then rode his horse in the direction of the tribe, and with this slogan, the sheep, who were still eating grass and drinking water, spread their short legs and followed.

The boy's expression was full of worry, and it was clear that he knew what the horn meant, and the girl in his arms clearly did not know what was going on, and sorted out her clothes as she thought about it.

After a while, the boy suddenly stopped his horse and looked into the distance with an angry expression, because there he saw a group of troops completely different from the Xianbei people's clothing, killing in the tribe's camp. He recognized that it was the army of the Han people!

Almost without any hesitation, he directly turned his horse's head and fled quickly in other directions, as for whether the sheep behind him could keep up, he didn't bother to pay attention. He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die. Just by looking at it from afar, he knew that his tribe was hopeless.

"Father, mother, the child will definitely avenge you!" The boy muttered to himself with tears in his eyes as he urged his crotch mount to speed up.

"Brother, why don't we go back? I saw a lot of people coming to the camp~" The girl in the boy's arms obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet, and looked at the boy innocently and asked.

"Brother has something important to do, can Sister accompany Brother A?" The young man endured his grief when he heard this, and said in a choked tone.

"Hmm." The girl nodded when she heard this, and then changed to a comfortable position and lay down in the young man's arms, and fell asleep after a while.

On the other side, among the Alibuda tribe, Li Yi rode Xiaobai with a calm expression, looking around with a cold look. It was a one-sided battle, and although the men of the Alibuda tribe resisted, they could not even delay their resistance in the face of the wolf-like soldiers of the Duliao battalion, as well as the fierce generals such as Lu Bu.

"Kebineng, you must live and avenge us!" A man looked at the tip of a spear that came at him, and thought sadly and indignantly.

"Poof!" With a bang, the sharp tip of the spear pierced the man's chest without hindrance, and Zhao Yun immediately pulled out the spear, and suddenly a large amount of blood splashed on his still immature, but excited face.
