Chapter 216: The Death of China

Murong Dan sat in the carriage as if he had been beaten up. Wood is a hard indicator, and it turns out that pine wood is not as hard as poplar. Even if there are millions of trees in the Xing'an Mountains, what about the old pine trees that can't be hugged by one person.

"But...... You can try using maple instead, or maybe it will work. The old archer stared at the compound bow in his hand and nodded.

Murong Dan almost didn't choke to death, this old guy never said everything in a single sentence. The pine in the Khing'an Mountains is unusable, but the maple should definitely do.

Sending off the confused old archer, Murong Dan leaned on the captured carriage. The Yun family's carriage is indeed good, and there is no bump in walking on the grassland. There is also a very light quilt in the car, which is as warm as a mink fur on the body, but not as heavy as a mink. There is also that delicate little way, I didn't know how to use it at first. After asking the captives, I found out that this thing was actually for heating.

At this moment, the copper kettle on top of the small clay stove was spraying white gas outward. There was boiling water to drink and steam, and the air in the car was hot and humid. I think of fur in the carriage of Donghu, still frozen like a turtle. Murong Dan felt that he should take down Pingliang as soon as possible and snatch all the good things of the Yun family.

Murong Tuoba sat in the carriage sent by Murong Dan, staggering and almost falling asleep. If there is anyone who is most opposed to this expedition in his heart, it must be Murong Tuoba. According to his assumption, it should be that after attacking the south and swallowing the Yan Kingdom, he can participate in the competition among the Huaxia tribes. Gradually expand the influence of Donghu among the Chinese people, and finally unify China and become the master of the rich Central Plains.

But now everyone is crazy with Lao Jin's instigation, and the labor division is going on an expedition to attack Pingliang in the far northwest. There are only so few people left in the old camp, what if the Huns betray the alliance and attack the old camp.

But Lao Jin doesn't seem to care about the old camp at all, as long as he wins Pingliang, he still cares about the old camp. The rich Pingliang is enough to feed the entire Donghu clan, and the Guanzhong Plain, which is full of grain, can be attacked to the north. Donghu people can't do it if they want to be underdeveloped!

"Abba! Eat some porridge, this is all sent by Ah Mei. It's delicious! Murong Song lightly boiled porridge in the crucible on the clay stove, and put some shrimp in it. After boiling, the slimy gurgling aroma overflows.

"Oh!" Murong Tuoba took the wooden bowl handed over by Murong Song, took a sip of porridge, and his eyes suddenly lit up. A mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of venison, and drank the whole pot of rice porridge clean.

"Along the way, it's the first time I've seen Abba have such an appetite." Murong Song is Murong Tuoba's youngest son, only a few months older than Murong Dan. He is intelligent and cunning, and the people of the clan say that he is as shrewd as a fox. It's a pity that Murong Song has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he can't withstand the wind and frost. Murong Song found him a master to take him to learn Chinese characters, and he was familiar with Chinese bamboo slips in the house every day. Although he was only seventeen years old, he was already one of the most learned people in the Donghu tribe. In time, it is not difficult to become a wise man among the Donghu people.

In the wolf pack of the steppe, there is often a wolf with particularly short front legs. This wolf is extremely clever and good at using intrigue and trickery, directing the wolves to attack the sheep on the grassland, and the presence of such wolves in the wolf pack is a herdsman's nightmare. The Donghu people call this kind of wolf a shadow wolf, and Murong Song, who is only seventeen years old, already has the nickname of the shadow wolf.

"What appetite can there be, these people are all instigated by Lao Jin to go crazy. As a father, I'm really worried about Donghu! Murong Tuoba finished drinking the porridge, and his warm spirit seemed to be much better.

"Father is worried that the Huns will attack the old camp?" Murong Song broke Murong Tuoba's heart with one word, and he deserved to be the shadow wolf of Donghu.

"Yes! The Great Elder thought that as long as Pingliang was captured, we could do without the old camp. But he forgot that Xing'anling is the root of our Donghu people, and the souls of our ancestors are there. Leaving Xing'anling, although our Donghu tribe is strong, it is nothing. Murong Tuoba said with some indignation. There are two distinct voices within the Donghu ethnic group as to whether to move south or west. In the end, it was Lao Jin's voice that prevailed, after all, Guanzhong was much richer than Yan Guo.

"Actually, father don't worry, as long as we don't defeat the Huns, we won't attack the old camp. If I were a Xiongnu Danyu, I would naturally be happy to fight with the Chinese. If our Donghu wins, he will definitely lead his troops south to share the benefits of plundering the Chinese people. If we lose, he will naturally attack the old camp. There are just the old and young left behind, who can destroy Donghu's century-old foundation without much effort.

There is only one king in the steppe, either us or the Huns. At present, the strength of the Xiongnu is slightly inferior to our Donghu. Therefore, the Xiongnu Shan Yu was willing to let us borrow the land of the Xiongnu to march to attack Pingliang. In fact, the best way is to take advantage of the fact that the Huns have just assembled. Our three-way army surrounded the Xiongnu royal court and wiped out the Xiongnu Dadanyu and the princes of the Xiongnu tribe. In this way, our Donghu clan will occupy the entire Xiongnu steppe. At that time, we can go to the thousands of miles of Chinese border at any time, where can we not rob it, why should we be entangled in attacking Pingliang? ”

Murong Tuoba looked at this wise son, and what he said made a lot of sense. At this time, if the Huns who were hastily assembled by the three-way army would definitely win a big victory. Then, the entire Xiongnu steppe was taken for himself. Donghu's power will surely be greatly improved!

It's a pity that there are not many people in the Donghu tribe who have this sharp vision. What they cared about was looting, how much cloth and how much grain, how much silk and the good things of the Chinese people. What did the Huns have? In addition to cattle and sheep, the Huns can be said to be completely destitute and scum. Although trading with Pingliang has made many tribes rich. But the so-called rich is just that the poor don't get rid of scum. Not necessarily better than the Donghu people!

The Donghu people are not all nomadic herders, many of them are already semi-nomadic and semi-farming. Many tribes were not interested in the Xiongnu steppe, but had a good impression of the rich land of the Chinese people. Lao Jin represents the interests of many tribes, so there are so many patriarchs and elders who support his decision. Even Murong Tuoba, who was the king of Donghu, had to be coerced to the west. Who let them play the banner of revenge for Murong Xing!

"Kid, you're right. But materialism can be disorienting, and from the moment they are bewitched by the leopard, they are all crazy. Now that our whole clan is out, there is only one way, and that is to set foot in Pingliang City. Otherwise, the entire Donghu tribe is in danger of being destroyed. Child, you remember if there is that day. You must return to the Xing'an Mountains, only there is the root of our Donghu people. Our ancestors have grown up in the old forest, and we are the kings of the jungle. When we get there, no one can compete with us. Murong Tuoba was very worried about this expedition, and there was some meaning in his words to explain the aftermath.

"Father, in fact, we can attack the Huns first. Once the war began, in order to protect the back road. They had to support us. Murong Song still didn't give up, he was going to make a prelude first.

"Hahaha! Child, you are too young. The Xiongnu Shan Yu had already assembled the Xiongnu, although they had just been assembled. But with any of the three routes, you can't eat it. If we attack, we may be eaten by the Huns. This is why Lao Jin tried his best to divide the army into three ways. You're supposed to be helping your sister, now her striker. Kill Pingliang as soon as possible and solve the Yun family is the top priority. Only by taking Pingliang can our Donghu clan have a way to live. ”

"Knowing Abba, I'll go to Sister A's army early tomorrow morning to help Sister A." Murong Song was helpless, and the plan he peddled to his father was completely bankrupt. Now there is only one way to go, and that is to eat Pingliang. Can Ping Liangchen's be so delicious? My sister has always been sharp, and she actually paid more than a thousand casualties just to deal with a few hundred Yun family members.

Donghu's iron cavalry was like a torrent, rampaging across the entire border between the Xiongnu and the Chinese. However, the goal of the Donghu people is Pingliang. Therefore, there was no provocation against the Chinese defenders in the Great Wall.

However, the nomadic tribes of the Chinese people outside the Great Wall were wiped out.

In fact, due to the chaos of the nations. There were many immigrants outside the Great Wall, and these immigrants established their own villages. Most of them were half-farming and half-pastoral, and would pay taxes to the Xiongnu Dadanyu every year. In fact, they are already Xiongnu Chinese.

The Donghu people don't care about this, the Huaxia people are their opponents on this trip. As long as you meet the villages of Chinese people, you will implement the three-light policy of killing, burning, and robbing all of them. The Great Wall was immediately plunged into a bloody storm, and countless Chinese herdsmen were slaughtered. Their cattle, sheep, horses, wives and children at home have all become the spoils of war of the Donghu people and have been packed and taken away.

"Jin Lao, will we be blamed for doing this. After all, we promised not to take the Hun people captive. "The Great Elder of the Rouran Clan, Shi Le, said with a little weakness. Like these herdsmen, they live a semi-nomadic and half-farming life. Among the Donghu branches, they accepted the Huaxia ethnic group with the greatest influence. It can be said that they are already half Chinese. There is still some resistance to this kind of massacre.

"Da Dan Yu wants to make a mistake, he said it a long time ago. These are Chinese people, so he won't care. This time, we poured out of the nest, and the food supply we brought was very limited. Since you can't rob the Huns to replenish, you can only rob these Chinese. You don't want to go hungry, so you can let them go. However, the old man reminds you that there is no way to ask the old man for food. "Lao Jin has a plan in his heart, and hundreds of thousands of people eat horses and chew. The daily consumption of grain is an astronomical amount, and plundering these Chinese herdsmen is the best opportunity to replenish it.

There was news from the Xiongnu royal court that the Yiqu people could not touch it. Of course, Lao Jin didn't want to make any extraneous complications. It would be bad to get the whole people of the Great Qin Empire involved. (To be continued.) )
