Outside the city in the clouds, Lou Yuan sat on the top, and the leaders of various tribes gathered in his tent and complained to him one after another.

"Great King, since the Zhao people occupied Yuanyang, they not only drove our clansmen, but also strictly ordered those who did not leave within five days to be killed!" The more he spoke, the more sad and indignant he became, "He Zhao Wang Huangkou is a child, and he dares to boast of such a Haikou, isn't he deceiving me and annoying no one?" The king must think about our people! ”

"Back then, the five kingdoms of Zhao State pressed the border, if it weren't for the fact that the king saw that we were neighbors of each other, he sent troops and horses to deal with Yan and helped Zhao to survive the crisis, but I didn't expect that it had only been a few years, and the sky had changed, and En would have taken revenge!"

"Yes, my lord, although the water and grass on the Yuanyang side are not as good as the Dahei River, but it is close to the Zhao realm and the Yan realm, and there are many hilly grasslands in the middle, which is not only suitable for us to graze horses and sheep, but also suitable for the use of captivity in the south, if it is held by the Zhao State, I am afraid that if we want to go to the two countries to grab something, it will take a lot of trouble."

"The most important thing is that without Yuanyang, a large area of grassland has been lost, and the Zhao people are only a stone's throw away from Jiuyuan and Yunzhong, at this distance, it is easy for the Zhao people to attack Yunzhong, and it will be difficult for us to attack Yuanyang. After all, we are not good at sieges. ”

As soon as everyone said a word, the whole big tent was about to turn upside down.

Lin Hu is nominally a big tribe, so Huye's seat is naturally very high, he sits at the bottom of Lou Yuan, and looks at the grievances of these generals for a while, and then looks at Lou Yuan. The former is either impassioned, or crying, or ambitious and tragic, but the biggest identity of these people is that the grasslands are in the area east of Yuanyang, this time they followed Lou Yuanbei to crusade against the Qiu Lin Department, and they were already reluctant, and after they came back, they heard that the army of Zhao Guo had captured Yuanyang, how could they still sleep peacefully? Because these generals have rich water and grass resources in the east, they are also close to Yan and Zhao, and sometimes they go south, and their own foundation is not weak, but this time they were taken by Zhao State, and they naturally wanted to encourage Lou Yuan to send troops to attack Zhao State.

And Lou Yuan's expression is interesting. He leaned on the wolfskin chair behind him, closed his eyes the whole time, just listened, but did not make any remarks, which made Ling Huye also puzzle in his heart, not knowing what Lou Yuan thought. But thinking about it, I was glad that fortunately, Lin Hu relied on the big river, and the southern part was the upper county of the Qin State, and the people of the Zhao State would never fly to their own territory in the air, but in case Yunzhong City was captured, it would be difficult to say. With this thought, he also began to plan whether to continue to follow Lou Yuan.

The discussion in the tent became quieter and quieter, and the people who were arguing for the dry mouth wanted to rest and wait for Lou Yuan's meaning, and those leaders who had scarce pastures on weekdays were still secretly happy in their hearts, thinking that you swaggered and didn't treat us as leaders on weekdays, and this time you suffered a loss, but you really didn't dare to put on a score.

"Done with the discussion? That's it. Lou Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and did not plan to adjust his sitting posture, looked at everyone and said: "Zhao people are treacherous, and they will take revenge, not only do they not respect and be grateful to our building, but they are resentful, occupy my city, take away my pasture, and drive out my people. Yes, he will definitely send troops to fight and drive the Zhao people out of the grassland! ”

Lou Yuan's statement made everyone cheer.

"This king ordered, all tribes, all those who can get on the horse to fight, all go into battle, not a single soldier is left, everyone is ready to bow and horse, three days later, set off from the clouds, send the troops to Yuanyang, and kill the Zhao people!"

"Kill the Zhao people!" "Kill the Zhao people!" Many tribal leaders chanted this last sentence as if victory was within reach.

"The king seems to have something on his mind."

In the empty tent, the joyful crowd had long since left, and there were only two people, Lou Yuan and Ling Huye. This made Ling Huye quite surprised, in fact, Lou Yuan rarely saw him alone, and he treated himself no different from other patriarchs, but he didn't know why he did this today. However, Lou Yuan is ruthless, and it may not be good to leave him alone.

"Leaving King Lin Hu this time is naturally an important matter to discuss." Lou Yuan put on a smiling face, stood up, and walked in front of Ling Huye, "King Lin Hu should know that although our tribe and Na Zhongshan are both Beidi, they are still very different from them. ”

As mentioned above, Zhongshan is the queen of Beidi. Di, that was the name of the Huaxia ethnic minority in the north during the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called Huaxia, that is: China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. In ancient times, the words "Hua" and "Xia" were homophonic, and they were universal. "Zuo Biography" said: The descendants do not seek summer, and they do not mess with China. Here Hua is summer. The Huaxia tribe refers to the tribal alliance composed of the Yellow Emperor tribe, the Yandi tribe and the Chiyou tribe of the Jiuli tribe, as well as some Dongyi tribes, most of which are in the Yellow River Valley. During the Zhou Dynasty, the tribes of the people who respected the Zhou rites were called the Xia people, collectively referred to as Zhuxia. As a distinction, the non-Chinese people in the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest are called Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong and Beidi.

After the Zhou Dynasty, the princes divided the feudal places, in order to be able to survive, they have strengthened themselves, especially the four princes of Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin, because the fiefs are mostly around Siyi, in the process of expanding the land, and Siyi has a long-term war. At this time, the so-called Siyi was not actually a so-called nomadic tribe, but mostly infantry, and the backward productivity and living environment led them to be on the weak side in the battle with the princes who occupied the advantageous geographical environment and could develop farming and encourage fertility with peace of mind, and began to integrate with the tribes of the Central Plains. In fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was not a shameful thing to intermarry with Siyi, the famous Jin Wengong Chong'er, his mother was Di Ren, and his wife Ji Kui was a princess of Di Ren, and Ji Kui's sister Shu Kui was a friend of Jin Wengong and the wife of Zhao Yuan, the ancestor of Zhao State.

Later, Wei Jiang, the minister of the Jin Mourning Duke, proposed a policy of peace and won the trust of the Di people, who began to cross the Yellow River and move eastward, settled in the Hutuo River valley, and established the Zhongshan State. Due to the policy of harmony, more and more Di people began to attach themselves and merge with the people of the Central Plains, and the title of Di began to disappear from people's mouths and was replaced by a tribal name, and Zhongshan was the Xianyu tribe in the Di tribe who migrated from within.

In fact, the Di people can not be called a country, at most it is a tribal alliance regime, there are tribes attached, naturally there are tribes that are not attached, these tribes live on both sides of the river, in the north and south of Daqing Mountain, began to domesticate livestock, adapt to nomadic life, accustomed to archery and horse riding, these tribes began to be called "Hu people". Like other tribes, in order to make a distinction between the Hu people and the Hu people, they also have their own names, such as Lou Fu and Lin Hu are Hu people, but the tribes are different, and the so-called Xiongnu is actually a branch of Beidi, but this tribe is relatively strong, and the other Beidi tribes are conquered and integrated, so there are Xiongnu. Everyone is a Xiongnu, in order to show a distinction, you call the Huns Qiulin Department, and I call the Huyan Department of the Xiongnu.

Therefore, Lou Yuan said that Lou Fu, Lin Hu and Zhongshan are all Beidi, which is not wrong.

"After the Zhongshan people moved inward, they gradually lost their habits, and were lured by the Marquis of Jin to enter the Central Plains, first destroyed by the Wei State, and now after the restoration of the country, they were beaten by the Zhao State for a long time, and they have long since lost the situation of the past."

"Although the Xiongnu are my compatriots in Beidi, they are cruel and murderous, and they are even more merging and conquering other tribes, which is really not good. Only you and I are close to each other, can survive between the Xiongnu and Yiqurong, and this common hardship is by no means overnight. ”

King Lin Hu began to feel that his scalp was numb, but he didn't expect Lou Yuan to express his feelings, and he was also decent, and even had the urge to be sad and cry when he listened, if he hadn't seen his cruelty and tyranny, he would definitely be bewitched by him.

"Our people are scarce, and every time they are harassed by the Qin State and the Yiqu people, they will not give up the king and accept our people, so that our people can prosper. This kindness is categorically difficult to repay. The only way to repay the king's kindness is in case. ”

Lou Yuan saw that Ling Huye was on the road, and knew that the other party had roughly guessed his thoughts, so he said: "The king is serious, you and I are of the same clan, and we must help each other." Especially now that the Zhao State is approaching step by step, most of the grassland has been lost, if it cannot be recaptured, then winter will come, and it will definitely suffer a catastrophe. ”

Ling Hu Ye sneered in his heart, the fox's tail was finally revealed, and he also pretended to be the same enemy and said: "Yes, the Zhao people are treacherous and deceive people too much, if they can't be driven out of the grassland, you and my clan will all suffer a catastrophe." As he spoke, he bowed down and bowed: "Our clan is deeply favored by the king, and now that the great event is present, I am willing for the king to drive, be the pioneer, and kill the Zhao people." ”

Looking at the back of Ling Huye leaving, Lou Yuan sneered and sat back in his place. Of course, he knew that his hypocrisy just now, even if he was a three-year-old child, could see that he was using Lin Hu as a gunman to test Zhao Guo's strength as a pioneer. In addition to this, he will also arrange for other tribes to be the executors of this first wave of attacks, along with Lin Hu. Those so-called other tribes are naturally the tribes near Yuanyang City that were crying and righteous just now. Lou Yuan is hope, even if he really laid the grassland near Yuanyang City, it will also hurt the vitality of these tribes, and they are no longer qualified to fight against themselves, and they will disobey their own yang and yin. It's just that all of this needs a gorgeous reason, just like he exterminated the Drum Clan.

The difference between a hero and a hero is that a hero has a way and has his own principles, ideals, and beliefs, while a hero has no way, or right and wrong are the way of the norm. As Lou Yuan, he hopes that he is a hero and recognized by future generations, but he is always filled with reasons, but he doesn't know what others do, and he is really a hero.

Ling Huye just got out of the tent, walked a few steps quickly, and looked back again, a little light flashed, how did he not know Lou Yuan's thoughts, it was nothing more than to preserve his strength and weaken Lin Hu's strength. It's just that he is weak and has to give in. It just so happened that Ling Huye had already had the heart to leave the Louyuan tribe, and he didn't know how to escape from the dispute between Lou Fu and Zhao State. It's not a long-term place.

Lou Fu is sharpening his knife here, and Zhao Guo is also full of morale, and the two sides have reached such a situation, there is really no other way to speak of it, only to seek war. Three days later, the Lou Fu tribe sent Yuanyang, Zhao Yong also gave up relying on the city for defense after discovering the news, and took the initiative to lead the Zhao army cavalry, chariots, and foot soldiers to attack, and the two sides assembled outside Yuanyang City, a battle to determine the hegemony of the grassland, has been on the verge of breaking out!
