After Zhang Wen's words were finished, the entire hall was suddenly filled with buzzing discussions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before today, no one could have imagined that after the defeat of the Northern Xiongnu, in just one year, there would be a tribe on the grassland, which could have nearly 10,000 combat power!

It's horrible!

One Changlin tribe is already like this, but what about other tribes?

What about the deeper, stronger tribes?

Will there be a super clan with tens of thousands of cavalry?

Is this possible?

Even Zhi showed a solemn look.

Zhang Wen still had a relaxed expression, but his hand shifted far north from the place where the Changlin tribe was located, and came to an area located on the edge of the desert.

Here, on the map of the Han army, it is called 'Worm Plain'.

It is said to be an area of sand dunes and grasslands that move along the desert to the south of the shogun.

In the area, there is a livestock called 'Suta', which is now very popular.

"The Changlin tribe, in the eyes of the contemptible people, does not pose any threat to my Han family...... Zhang Wen said with a smile: "However, the worm people here, in their humble opinion, must be a problem for their henchmen!" ”

"Worm people, after Ben Donghu, the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan destroyed Donghu, moved Donghu to capture in Worm Plain, and let them guard the desert in and out of the south for themselves......"

"In order to humiliate these Donghu prisoners of war, Mao Dun contemptuously called these people 'worms', which means worms......"

"For seventy or eighty years, the worms have been friends with the sand dunes on the edge of the desert, and their habits have become more and more barbaric......"

"Even among the Huns, the worms are synonymous with simple-minded fools......"

"And yet...... Are they really that stupid? ”

Zhang Wen looked at the map with a serious expression and said to Zhidu: "Judging from the worm information that the contemptible people have and come into contact with, these worms are not simple......

"After the Xiongnu retreated north, one of the clans of the Worms, known as the Emurit, immediately led his warriors to attack the other Worm clans, and unified all the Worm clans within three months......"

"So, he established himself on a hill in the east of the Worm Plain, called 'Worm Khan', which means the lord of the country, and he called himself the King of Worm, which is different from the Huns and the Donghu people......"

Then he swung his army south, encroaching, conquering and annexing dozens of large and small tribes along the way! To this day, the Worm Khan Emurti has at least 5,000 horsemen under his command......"

Although, the number of this so-called creeping army that I have never even heard of is at least half less than the military strength of the Changlin tribe.

However, all the officers and nobles of the Han army who listened to Zhang Wen's introduction were all serious, holding the hilt of their swords, and they were murderous.

Zhidu's eyes were even more angry, and his fighting intent was already boiling.

The hostility towards the worm, at this moment, surpassed all the other Makunan clans in the hearts of all the Han officers.

Because......

Only names and instruments can not be dummies!

The worms have crossed the red line of the Han army!

They have set themselves kings!

They actually started from scratch and planned to build a new nomadic system!

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

In an instant, the worms rose to the number one enemy of the Han army!

And the most intolerable thing is to return to Yishan Yu Xiayi, he jumped out almost immediately and said to Zhidu: "General, the worm people have turned their backs on Tiandan Yu, turned their backs on the gods, and Ben Danyu begged the general to take the worm as the first target, and the worm must perish!" ”

Of course, the worm must perish!

If the worm does not die, he will be gMecta for this righteousness.

The ass decides the head, and even if Xia Yi dies, he will not let the worm provoke his status.

"These despicable bugs!" Xia Yi recalled in his heart the worms he had seen in the past, they were dirty, they were despicable, they were stupid, they were the untouchable on the grassland, absolute slaves, untouchables.

Now, these pariahs are going to ride on his head!

Just thinking about it, Xia Yi felt disgusting!

"Rest assured, Ben will carry the holy order and will destroy the worm!" Zhidu immediately gave a 100% guarantee to Xia Yi's request.

For the behavior of the worms, Zhi Du hated it even more than Xia Yi.

Because the worms are provoking the majesty of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty at the same time, they are challenging the order of the Han Empire!

However, the Worms live in an area close to the desert, and it is unrealistic to send troops to destroy them immediately.

At least, it was impossible for the Han army to fly over and kill them without resolving the tribes entrenched in the center of the shogun.

"Mr. Zhang, you go on......" After Zhidu calmed Xia Yi down, he said to Zhang Wen.

By this time, Zhidu also understood the complexity of the situation in the south of the Munan.

There is a tribe that wants to stand on its own feet and start anew!

It's crazy and incredible.

This is just like someone who is now in the territory of Southwest Yi or South Vietnam, agitating a group of savages to live up, and then occupy a hill and proclaim himself emperor, which can only attract endless attacks from the Han army.

There are no two heavens and no two earths, and there can only be one order, one system, and one civilization in the world.

In the eyes of classical Chinese scholars and aristocrats, any attempt to establish a set of systems, civilizations, and writings that were very different from those of China was a declaration of war against the empire, a provocation against the Zhuxia civilization, and a blasphemy against the Three Kings and Five Emperors.

Regardless of Confucianism and Huang Laomo, the only response to similar actions of such people is - if you want to fight, then fight!

"No!" Zhang Wen knew that his goal had been achieved, and the worm man would inevitably become the number one target of the Han army's operations in the future, and his priority would be higher than everyone else.

Even, as long as the Changlin tribe doesn't get in the way, the Han army may let him go first, deal with the worms first, and then turn around to deal with the Changlin tribe.

However, it's a pity that Lin Dangtu, the chief of the Changlin tribe, thinks of himself very high and is ambitious, and he is still immersed in the sweet dream he prepared for him, in the dream of the Changlin Empire.

This guy is probably going to fight to the death with the Han army.

But it doesn't matter!

The foundation of Changlin people, Zhang Wen couldn't be clearer.

On every weapon used by their cavalry, Zhang Wen had done tricks and feet.

Although, an arms dealer who does not sell weapons to the enemy is not a good arms dealer.

But the arms dealer's own interests will drive him to take the initiative to do something that is beneficial to him.

Today, the expansion of the Han Empire coincides with the interests of almost all merchants.

Especially Zhang Wen and Cheng Zheng behind him.

In a sense, it was the Han army's victories in foreign wars and its continuous expansion that injected infinite vitality and huge markets into the Han dynasty's industry and commerce.

The Han army conquered Korea and Andong, and so there was the gold rush of Andong and the prosperity of the whaling industry.

Moreover, because of the existence of the reclamation group, a large number of iron-smelting merchants' products have found new markets.

The annexation of Mitsukoshi opened up a huge emerging market with a population of millions to Han merchants, and brought a lot of cheap labor and a lot of business opportunities.

Judging by the current situation, the sword of the Han army was not so much a plow of a peasant as a wagon of a merchant.

Since Yuande, wherever the horseshoe of the Han army arrived, the merchants and their business opportunities went.

When the interests of the state and capital coincide, capital will not betray the state even if it dies.

Today's Han capital is parasitic on the foreign wars and expansion of the Han Empire.

The expansion and conquest of the Han army brought them endless resources, wealth, markets, and even cheap labor.

Under such circumstances, the merchants and their capital, no matter what, will not deviate from the interests of their own country and nation.

Even, many intelligent people have come to understand that their wealth comes from the expansion of the state, and their industry depends on the expansion of the state.

Therefore, even if they sell their livers and kidneys, they must support all the external actions of the Han army.

"In addition to the worms, there is also a tribe named Lin Hu, which is also very strong!" Zhang Wen moved his hand to the grassland located hundreds of miles north of Nanchi, which is where the king tent of the Linhu people is located today: "Linhu, the princes should be no stranger, right? ”

Lin Hu? When Zhi Du heard this, he changed color slightly, this is an ancient tribe, which has been seen in the annals of history in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they used to be nomadic with Lou Furen in today's Daibei area.

King Wuling of Zhao Hu Fu rode and shot and annexed the Kingdom of Loufu and the Kingdom of Linhu, and the remaining remnants went north to the outside of the fortress.

After that, Lin Hu hibernated for decades and rose again at the end of the Warring States period.

However, this time the Linhu people tragically met their natural enemy, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao at the end of the Warring States Period.

Lin Hu, the Xiongnu, and Lou Fu were all hung up and beaten by this master of soldiers.

After that, Lin Hu disappeared from the annals of history and disappeared again, but Lou was very active, and even became one of the three carriages of the Xiongnu for a time.

"Linhu?" One of the lieutenants of the Lou Fu Army stood up and said, "Aren't they already extinct?" ”

"Twenty years ago, the last King Linhu died under the saber of the old Shangshan Yu...... Why did another Lin Hu pop up? ”

"I don't know...... Zhang Wen said with a smile, he turned his head to look at a businessman on the right, and said to him: "Why don't you explain Brother Peng?" ”

Peng You stood up with a smile, bowed to Zhidu and Xia Yi, and said, "Grass people Peng You meet the general, Shan Yu ......"

Peng You? Zhidu's face changed greatly!

"This guy is also coming to Shunde?" Zhi Du thought in his heart, he finally determined the fact that the Son of Heaven had already laid out in Shunde.

This Peng You and Zhang Wen are the nightmare in the hearts of the countries of Southwest Yi.

They are the drummers of war, the origin of calamity.

Of these two people, one stood behind Concubine Zhuo's father, Zhuo Wangsun, and the other behind Mrs. Cheng Zheng's father, Cheng Zhengying.

And these two people are the representatives of these two national abbots.

There is no doubt that the Son of Heaven has already used the hands of the two masters to lay out the layout in the south of this scene.

"Foresighted......" Zhi Du sighed in his heart.

Like Zhang Wen, this Peng You is also one of the financiers behind the Xunzi School.

In the past, Zhi Du still couldn't understand that this Zhang Wen and Peng You were full of food and support, and quietly used so many resources to fund the Xunzi School every year.

But now, he understood that this must be the will of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, it may also be the meaning of the two abbots.

But in any case, it was an internal affair at the court.

"This King of Linhu, named 'Sting', is the widow of the last King Linhu, back then, the old man killed his father, this person was carried by several loyal slaves and fled to the command of the Right Virtuous King, I don't know, what the Right Virtuous King thought, in short, this son was adopted as a righteous son, and raised it......"

"After Yin Zhixian's death, this King Lin Hu fled to the north of Nanchi with hundreds of Yin Zhixian's cronies, claiming to avenge Yin Zhixian, but no one listened to him at that time, and he could only wander on the grassland, but later ......" Peng You took a deep look at Xia Yi.

Isn't it this today's Guiyi Shan Yu, who personally killed Yin Zhixian's son Uwei.

As a result, the warriors and cavalry loyal to Yin Zhixian were attached to the command of this King Linhu.

After all, he was already the last person to have a relationship with Yin Zhixian and Youxian Wang.

When Xia Yi heard this, he immediately recalled, nodded and said, "There is indeed this person!" It's just that Ben Shan didn't expect that he was the son of the late King Linhu......"

"How many soldiers and horses does this Linhu tribe have?" Zhidu asked.

"About six thousand, right?" Peng You thought for a while and replied: "The total population of his tribe is about 40,000 people......

He walked up to Zhang Wen, pointed to a large area north of Nanchi on the map, and said, "The territory of the Linhu people is about this area......

"Because, there are a large number of warriors and nobles under the command of King Lin Hu in the past, so their organization and riding skills are far superior to other tribes, in the past six months, they have conquered and annexed more than forty large and small tribes, and have more than 200,000 head of livestock, which is the largest tribe near Nanchi!"

"Nanchi?" Zhi Du stared at the map, and he suddenly woke up, since this King Lin Hu claimed to be the heir of Yin Zhixian and the righteous son of King Youxian, then he would definitely try to seize Nanchi in order to stabilize his position.

"Immediately send someone to inform the Juzhu army and Shanggu County, and immediately send troops to reinforce Nanchi, Ben will be worried that King Lin Hu may sneak attack Nanchi!"

There are not many defenders in Nanchi, only more than 1,000 people, and with such a small number of troops, it is still necessary to maintain order on the road.

Of course, the King of Donghu, the 'Marquis of Chang'an', who was vaguely approved by the Son of Heaven, has about 2,000 cavalry under his command, plus the forces of those tribes near Nanchi who are loyal to the Han family or dependent on the Han family, it may add up to 35,000 troops.

However, these forces are scattered in various places in peacetime.

If you want to assemble, it will take at least half a month.

If the Linhu people launched a surprise attack, Zhi Du was worried that Nanchi might not be able to hold it.

As soon as Nanchi was lost, the Han army lost an important stronghold and a key supply depot on the grassland.

Moreover, it will also disgrace the Son of Heaven!

Since his accession to the throne, the Han army has never lost a single important city or key stronghold on a frontal battlefield.

Even during the Battle of Yan Ji, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Xiongnu, the Han army firmly held its own defensive line.

Now, if it is defeated by a group of rabble, the remnants of the army will break through Nanchi.

I'm afraid the Son of Heaven will be furious.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and Shanggu County and the Juzhu Army had to be beaten.
