When Li Zheng got the detailed information about what happened inside the Xiongnu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Two batches of 10,000 spiny pigs are not a small number. It was used as a bait to induce the Huns to live in civil strife, if it succeeded, it would not hurt, but if it failed, the loss would not be small.

Of course, it is also inevitable to be able to successfully take the first step.

The inevitability lies in the nature of the Huns.

The Huns were called barbarians, not entirely in a derogatory sense, but because of their nature. A predatory wolf nature.

Just like a wolf, when you see good meat, you want to take a bite!

The entire Xiongnu group is like a huge alliance of wolf packs, under which there are countless wolf pack branches. Shan Yu is the wolf king, such as the Su Bu clan, the Han clan or the Lan clan, which is a subordinate group that submits to the wolf king. If the wolf king is on it, it doesn't hurt. The key is that now the Huns are not single, there is no wolf king, and the head wolves of the wolf pack below are all looking at that big position.

And the piece of meat thrown by Li Zheng played the role of a fuse. In fact, even if they don't have this piece of meat, when they wait for a certain amount of time, they will still fight for the most noble position.

That's the inevitability.

Li Zheng's actions have accelerated this process. The appearance of the echinoderm pig allowed the nomadic Huns to see a new direction of development, so they would compete for this opportunity.

As for how to fight, if there is no Li Zheng as the pusher, maybe they will use soft knives on each other and will not fight directly. This is also the problem that Li Zheng has been worried about. Well, now that the Lan clan and the Su Bu clan have made a stupid decision, they have brazenly sent troops and expanded the situation!

Careful planning and rigorous implementation finally got what I wanted.

Next, let's see what kind of interpretation Li Zheng makes in it

After the Han clan retaliated and launched an attack on the Lan clan, the Lan clan naturally did not show weakness. In the steppe, showing weakness is tantamount to surrender. So, Lan's also broke out.

In the following two months, there were several fierce battles between the neighboring Lan and Han clans, each losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Seeing this, the high-level leaders of the two sides felt that they could not continue like this, and were preparing to negotiate, but a series of changes that happened next made the two sides completely opposed.

Every day, or the tribes affiliated with the Lan clan attacked the affiliated tribes of the Han clan. Or the Han clan's subordinate tribe attacked the Lan clan's subordinate tribe. You come and go, you destroy my tribe, I rob you of your wealth, and there is a great hatred for each other. By the time the higher-ups above found out, the situation was out of control!

The two races, at the most basic level, are irreconcilable!

Dongying Pass, the town guard general is now a white wolf.

"General White Wolf!"

Below, a patriarch of the Xiongnu tribe clasped his fists and said, "We heard that you Han people have excellent armaments and are willing to sell them to us, is this true?" ”

"Of course it's true!"

The white wolf sat upright in the hall, smiling, the scar on his face writhed with his smile, like a huge centipede, looking very hideous, and said, "However, you have purchased weapons from us privately, and you are not afraid of being held accountable from above?" ”

"Fuck it!" When the Huns heard this, they scolded angrily and said, "The damned Lan clan has repeatedly attacked my tribe and caused me heavy losses. The Han clan didn't help us, and forced us to stop fighting, what is the reason?! If I don't retaliate back, I will have no shame to see immortality! ”

"Yes!"

"We are affiliated with the Han family, just to ask for a stability, but the Han family doesn't help us out, we will do it ourselves!"

"Yes, do it yourself!"

Looking at the patriarch of the small tribe affiliated to the Han clan who was clamoring in the hall, an inexplicable light flashed in the white wolf's eyes, so he shouted and said, "Okay! You're a man! I, the white wolf, respect you like this! ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several soldiers walked in with a team of armor and blades and threw them on the ground.

"Look, everyone, this is the armor you need." The white wolf stretched out his hand to signal.

The eyes of the patriarch of the Xiongnu tribe under the hall had already focused on the armor on the ground.

When they looked closely, they couldn't help frowning.

"General White Wolf, these armors of yours are all things that are about to be scrapped, you don't need to fool us with these, right?"

Saying this, he already seems very dissatisfied. Although these armor were still much better than their own Hun equipment, they did not meet their expectations.

"Haha," the white wolf laughed and said, "Our armor looks old, but the quality is not bad. Ladies and gentlemen, what you see with your eyes may not be real, so why not give it a try?! ”

"How do you try?"

"Use your swords, cut our armor, touch our blades, and you will know at a try."

"I'm coming!"

As he spoke, a Hun man came out, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, lifted a half-body fish scale armor on the ground, and cut it off with a knife.

I only heard a choking sound, and I saw a spark flashing, but I found that there was only a white mark on the half of the armor, and there was no obvious scar at all!

"Good armor!"

"Try the blade again!"

When the Huns on the side saw this, they all stood up.

When the man heard this, he picked up a chopping knife with a few gaps the size of rice grains on the blade, waved the scimitar in his hand, and slashed at it.

There was a bang, and the sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, but I saw that the scimitar and the horse chopping knife were almost inlaid together. If you take a closer look, the scimitar, which was still bright just now, was cut in half by the horse chopping knife and was almost completely scrapped. And on the horse chopping knife, there is only a hole the size of a grain of rice!

"Good knives!"

Immediately, the patriarchs of many Xiongnu tribes had their eyes shining, looking at the old armor and horse chopping swords, with a greedy face.

"How? The quality is passable, right? ”

The white wolf has a good time.

What is the quality of his own weapons and armor, the white wolf knows clearly. Although these old equipment that have been replaced have been damaged because of several wars, they are much more sophisticated than the weapons and armor of the Huns.

"General White Wolf, you can make a price!"

For a while, many pairs of eyes in the hall looked at the white wolf in unison.

The white wolf laughed and said, "I have two plans here. ”

"First, in exchange for cattle, sheep, horses, or money. Each bust was exchanged for five horses, or eight oxen, or twenty sheep, or hardware. The horse chopping knife is also the same price. ”

"Second, the exchange of slaves. For each piece of armor, ten strong slaves, or twenty young women, or thirty minor children. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled don't! ”

The white wolf condition was opened, and everyone in the hall began to talk about it.

After a while, someone said: "Compared to the sophistication of the armor, this price is not too expensive." But we are all small tribes, there are not many cattle, sheep and horses, and even fewer slaves, I'm afraid"

"Hehe" the white wolf smiled and said, "You don't have many cattle, sheep and horses, and other tribes have them, such as the Lan clan, or the Subu clan farther away?" As long as you get these fine armor, it won't be easy to take down a few tribes? In this way, you will have more slaves and cattle and sheep to exchange for armor, and then you will equip more elite soldiers and conquer more tribes, and when the time comes."

The words of the white wolf, like the temptation of the devil, made these people move together!

Yes, with these good armor, they can defeat more tribes, capture more slaves, cattle, sheep and horses, and exchange them for more armor, and then recruit troops, and then continue to fight, one day

The patriarchs of many small tribes under the hall glanced at each other in unison, and they all saw the flames in each other's eyes.

"Okay, we've changed!"

"In exchange for some obsolete equipment from the army, in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses, in exchange for money and population, to seize the wealth of the Huns. When they found out, they didn't know if there was anything left of the Huns on the right! ”

Every time he thought of this, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh, and when he looked at Li Zheng's gaze, he felt cold.

Boiled frogs in warm water, nothing more than that.

Li Zheng laughed and said, "Next, let's watch a good show." But the preparation must also be done well, and when the time is right, the loop will be laid! ”

Doing this kind of business privately with the small tribes of the Xiongnu is a strategy that Li Zheng has long thought of.

It is not only necessary to incite hatred among the big forces of the Xiongnu, but also to arouse the ambitions of the small tribes of the Xiongnu, so that all the Xiongnu people will be in chaos, and do their best to weaken them!

Although it is said that the obsolete equipment that has been redressed by the army is the most sophisticated in the hands of any force. But Li Zheng is no longer in his eyes.

First of all, these old equipment have already done some tricks. For example, the fish scale armor and leather armor, which were originally full-body armor, have become half-body armor. Removing the lower body not only destroys the special effect of the entire armor, but also puts it into the machining center to be re-boiled into various raw materials.

Secondly, these armors flowed into the hands of the Huns, and after a few more wars, they would almost be scrapped, and Li Zheng would not be threatened at all.

Finally, it is also the greatest confidence that Li Zheng has just generated - the system has been upgraded!

Yes, the system has been upgraded.

After Li Zheng defeated Han Sui, most of Liangzhou was in his hands. However, there are still three counties and two subject states in the west.

So at the beginning of the year, after the Shangyuan Festival, Li Zheng sent the general Pang De to lead an army of 20,000 to conquer the three western counties and two vassal states.

Just now, when Li Zheng received the message from Pang De, the system prompt also sounded.
