After leaving the small Xianbei tribe, the army headed north under the guidance of Yan Rou, and a few days later entered the Xilin Gol Prairie, which was also called the Jixiang Grassland. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn later generations, the area of this grassland is 180,000 square kilometers, which is the junction of China and Mongolia~Ancient times, and the area of this grassland at this time is more extensive than that of later generations, because the Hunshandak sandy land on the southwest edge of the grassland has not eroded the grasslands and rivers here.

Such a large grassland is enough to feed hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, where the river network is complex, and the Xianbei tribes have to set up tents along the river, which also leads to the Xianbei tribes on the grassland are relatively far apart, and the Xianbei tribes that can take root in the grassland are all powerful tribes, and those who are not strong live in the oasis in the Hunshandak Sandy Land.

Donghu was divided into Xianbei and Wuhuan after being broken by the Huns, and the Wuhuan people were attached to the Han Dynasty, and when the Han Dynasty was first built, they infiltrated Youzhou Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong five counties outside the Saiwai, to Yuan Shao's unification of the north, most of the Wuhuan tribesmen were in Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong subjects and the north and south of Yanshan. Therefore, the degree of sinicization of the Wuhuan people is higher than that of the Xianbei people, at least in the three counties of Youzhou, Wuhuan will also farm.

However, the Xianbei people in the Xilin Gol steppe are the real nomads, they have no fields, they can only raise cattle and horses, grazing between the pastures, their smelting technology is the same as the Wuhuan, the main combat power is to rely on superb riding skills and the powerful Donghu flying bow.

When Cao Pi's army entered the grassland, it was discovered by the Xianbei hunters that the knights of Cao Pi's army were light horsemen, wearing armor, carrying spears, bows and arrows. It is not as elite as the tiger and leopard cavalry, but Rao is so, and the Xianbei hunters see this army far away.

Yan Rou saw those hunters and immediately said, "These hunters should be the clansmen of Kebineng, the Xianbei royal court is on the edge of the grassland, because they are the most powerful tribe in Xianbei, so they have the responsibility to protect the grassland." Xia Guan hasn't seen Ke Bineng for a long time, and I don't know if he has been humbled together. ”

Cao Pi looked into the depths of the grassland, and found that there were distant mountains such as dai in the far distance, and there were quiet rivers at the feet, and many streams spread to the depths of the grassland, and the green grass and the magnificent blue sky made people feel open-minded, as if the whole world was in front of them, which made Cao Pi can't help but think, if the animal husbandry professionals from the Agricultural College crossed here, I am afraid that the cattle, sheep and horses they raised can feed the whole of Asia.

"Ke Bi can be this person, how does Yan Zhi look at it? Will it become a problem for my big man? Cao Pi asked.

Yan Rou thought for a while and replied: "Kebi Neng is an outlier if he can rise in Xianbei, he was originally just a member of a small tribe, not even a tribal leader, but later because of his courage and good fighting, fair law enforcement, and not greedy for money, he was elected as the leader by the tribe. This person accepted many Han people in the Guannei tribe, and he himself was also fascinated by the Central Plains culture. When going out hunting, the military flag is held high, and the drum is used as a password to advance and retreat. The same is true of fighting other tribes, and later, relying on this method, his tribe was invincible on the steppe, so that he has achieved today. Xia Guan was unexpected, if he gave this person ten or twenty years, he might become a big trouble for the Han, because with the passage of time, this person will know more and more about the Han, but at this time, it is too early to cover up, and the Xianbei people's armor is far inferior to my Han. ”

Cao Pi also knew that there was a Xianbei clan in the Wuhu of the five Hu chaos in later generations, in fact, these Hu people suddenly broke out of a strong combat power to a large extent to absorb the culture and technology of the Central Plains, especially the smelting technology, and so on to enter the official, after occupying the city to get the smelting arsenal, plus its powerful combat power is even more out of control, although the current foreigners are strong, but in addition to the art of riding and archery, there is no merit.

"As he said, at this time, there is nothing to worry about." Cao Pi said with a smile.

Yan Rou said: "Now although the Xianbei Royal Court belongs to the Kebi Neng Division, there are still a few relatively powerful forces in the clan, Budugen is one of them, and Fuluo Han is also one of them, if Kebi Neng can't annex these two tribes on the grassland, there are not many of them after all, and it is difficult to form a big trouble, but if it is given ten or twenty years, the two are probably not its opponents." ”

"Budugen and Fu Luohan are also on this grassland?" Cao Pi asked.

Yan Rou replied: "It's true, but this grassland is vast, and the two tribes are still far from Kebineng, and Budugen should now occupy the Juliu River, the birthplace of the Wuhuan people outside the pass, to the west of the grassland." And Fu Luohan's should be the land on the east side of the grassland, near Daijun. ”

".......I see," he was just as he was talking, when suddenly there was a sound of scolding and whistling from the grassland, and the voice was coming in their direction.

Cao Pi looked in the direction from which the voice came, but saw dozens of knights wearing narrow sleeves, with their tops and bottoms separated, and pointed hats made of long torture tablets on their heads, chasing a man dressed the same as them, and in front of this man sat a boy in his five or six years old.

The man being pursued and the knight who pursued him both held a spear in the style of the Central Plains, which seemed to prove that Yan Rou said that Kebi was able to actively absorb the language of Han culture. Yan Rou looked at the fleeing man in front of him and said: "This person is brave, those Xianbei cavalry chasing him are the guards under the command of Kebineng, and they are all top warriors in the Kebineng tribe, but now their quivers are empty, they must have used up when chasing and killing this person, there is no shelter on the grassland, and they can consume dozens of Xianbei people's arrows, this riding skill can be called unparalleled in the world." ”

"Perhaps before this, his servants had resisted a lot of arrows for him." Lu Lingqi came to Cao Pi's side and said.

The man seemed to see Cao Pi's banner and was exerting his strength towards this side, but the Xianbei people who were chasing behind him were in hot pursuit, looking unwilling to catch this person.

At this time, Cao Pi has seen the appearance of the person clearly, and he can't help but be a little surprised, although the person in front of him is wearing a beard and a pointed hat, but it is a Han face, and the complexion is fair, with fine skin and tender meat, at first glance, he is a pampered person, and the most important thing is that this person is very young, and it is on par with the current Cao Pi, you must know that Cao Pi is only eighteen years old this year.

"The state pastor saves me! The state pastor saves me! The man shouted loudly, waving the spear in his hand. The little boy in front of him looked flat, without panic or fear, as if nothing could excite him.

"Since you know the banner of Youzhou Mu, this person is Han, and he is also a Han who knows the military formation, save him." As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, the smuggler behind him immediately rode out, stepped forward to let the young man go, and blocked the Xianbei people with a spear in his hand.
