Late August.

In order to recapture the place where the bones of the ancestors were buried, the king of the Yue clan mobilized 30,000 warriors in the tribe, and the healthy horses reached more than 50,000 horses.

However, the re-battle with the Huns turned out to be a failure.

In the face of the Huns like fierce wolves in the steppe, the soldiers of the Yue clan could only be killed helplessly like sheep, and the battle for hegemony between a tribe that had long been obsessed with the glory of the boss and a new bloodthirsty tribe ended so easily.

The king of the old Yue clan was killed.

Of the 30,000 warriors, only less than 5,000 people escaped with their lives, and most of the men in the other clans became captives of the Huns. This may be the reason why the Yueshi lost to the Xiongnu.

So it is with the soldiers, and so it is with the chiefs.

The succeeding Yue clan belonged to the Dayue clan, and the frightened Xinyue clan king soon decided to lead the tribe to move westward in order to avoid the fierce wolf of the Xiongnu, while the Xiaoyue tribe that Bai Guangji joined did not want to leave the place where they had lived for generations, and their idea was to move to Longxi internally, hoping to use the Liliang of Qin to fight against the powerful Huns.

Choose.

Only once, life or death or death.

In fact, in the long history, there have been countless cases of the entire tribe being wiped out because of a wrong decision, and the Ghost Fang tribe not long ago is a very realistic example.

A big river that separates things from each other.

When the Yue clan and the Xiongnu were fighting in the Hexi area, the Qin territory located in the east of the river was a prosperous group of cattle and sheep, and the wind and grass were low.

Pasture. For nomadic tribes. It's their lifeblood. Without pastures, cattle, sheep and horses would starve to death, the population of the tribe would be reduced, and the whole tribe would be swallowed up by other powerful tribes. Countless wars on the steppes have been fought over pastures.

Bai Guangji followed the first batch of Xiaoyue people who moved inward, mainly because he came out of Longxi County and was familiar with this place, and he could also guide the Yue people to the way.

All the way to the east. The closer he got to the border of Qin, the more Bai Guangji hesitated, for most of the past half a year, he had been living in the Yue tribe, which made him not only familiar with the habits of the grassland people, but also had another name: Jiang Cong.

Jiang Cong, there is nothing wrong with that.

The name of this Qiang warrior was inspired by Bai Guangji and used it as his own foreign name, compared to Bai Guangji's name in the Central Plains. Jiang Cong is undoubtedly more acceptable to the Yueshi people.

"Jiang Cong, the big leader has an order. Your department is the vanguard, go to Qincheng to inquire about the news, and go back quickly. Just as Bai Guangji was thinking wildly, a warrior of the Yue Clan rode a horse and shouted.

"Obey the orders of the Great Chief." Bai Guangji responded, raised his left hand and waved, and kicked the old horse under his crotch hard with his toes, urging the old man to exert more strength.

After a series of defeats, the vitality of the Yue clan was greatly damaged, even a warrior like Bai Guangji could only ride an old horse to fight, and those women and children in the tribe were old and weak, they could only rely on two feet to trek step by step, their fate can only be judged by the sky, if lucky, the Huns did not catch up, then they were lucky to leave a life, if unfortunately caught up by the Hun cavalry, then waiting for them in addition to being killed, they were only captured as slaves.

The slaves of the Huns, who are worse alive than pigs and dogs, have no dignity, no status, no freedom, and are worse than death, will make people quickly fall into despair, and then die early.

The old horse gasped.

Mustering Zuihou's remaining strength to kick the ground, hoping to speed up a little faster, the horse's thin back bone and hips rubbed and collided again and again, making Bai Guangji feel a hot pain, and without removing his clothes, he knew that the old part of his buttocks had been ground down again. Not only him, but the other warriors in the tribe also looked depressed and listless.

Lintao.

It would take two days and two nights to get to where Bai Guangji and them were, and as long as they crossed this border town on the Great Wall set up by the Qin State, the Xiaoyue clan would basically get rid of the pursuit of the Huns. And this zuihou journey, for the people of the Xiaoyue clan, is a march of death.

Bai Guangji could feel that the Huns were not far behind, like a vicious wolf staring at the green eyes, staring at the fat of the Yue clan.

――。

Longxi, war clouds are thick.

Located in the westernmost part of the Qin State, this border county, like the northernmost Jiuyuan County, was the frontier area of the Qin State against nomadic tribes, and it was also the pasture for the training and grazing of the Qin cavalry.

After receiving Li Yuan's urgent order, Luo Jia, who had not been the county guard for a short time, did not dare to slack off, and began to issue a conscription order in the whole county, but all young and strong men of appropriate age must register in the pavilion and county where they are located within three days, and then wait for the dispatch of the county at any time, at the same time, Luo Jia dispatched more than 1,000 cavalry to monitor the Xiaoyue clan people who are getting closer and closer in the Hexi area, so as to prevent the remnants of this nomadic tribe that has not yet been naturalized from waiting for an opportunity to attack.

At this time, Luo Jia didn't know that the Yueshi people were extremely miserable this time, and it was impossible to have any disrespect for the Qin State, but the migration characteristics of the grassland tribes made the Xiaoyue clan, like the Qiang people, believe in the concept that the strong is king, if the Qin army can't come up with enough strength to shock these Yueshi people, there will be no continuous tranquility on the border of the Qin State in the future.

September 17th.

Li Yuan did not stop, and after Yongyi and Luo Jia's 7,000 cavalry rendezvous, he rode all the way to the west, towards Lintao, a famous fortress on the border of Qin.

The further west.

The grassland replaces the cultivated fields and becomes the protagonist of the scenery.

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" Looking at the dazzling pictures of the prairie, what surged in Li Yuan's heart was a strong sense of pride as a descendant of Yan and Huang, and being able to become a hero against foreign captives was the most glorious thing for a man.

Dahe and Weishui are both the mother rivers of civilization.

It is also a place where the people of Great Qin live endlessly.

The Huns are coming!

What stirred up was the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in Li Yuan's bones, the land of Great Qin, the homeland of Great Qin, and the people of Great Qin, how could they tolerate the barbarians outside the country to trample on it.

In the face of the iron cavalry of the Huns, Li Yuan's heart was intensifying the boiling intent, this collision of different civilizations! The confrontation between the two great peoples, agriculture and nomadism, is a vivid teaching material throughout Chinese history, from ancient times to modern times, and even modern times, this kind of conflict arising from different cultures has never stopped!

The inheritance of civilization does not need stupid preaching, but needs strength and blood to defend it. Li Yuan is not a pedantic person, he came from later generations, and he has seen too much of the faces of those rioters in the border provinces under the harmonious society of the republic, and the facts have proved that the Huairou policy can only cure the symptoms, but not the root cause.

There is only one word that can really solve the problem once and for all: fight.

The Huns who fought fled from the wind, and since then they did not dare to look eastward, harvesting the heads of generations of Huns Shan Yu, as a dazzling emblem on the military merit medal, this is the most correct approach.

Conquest requires savings and national support.

More than 200 years after history, the Han Dynasty recuperated for several years, accumulated a lot of wealth for Emperor Wu Liu Che's Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, and supported the huge military operations of the Han army. At Liu Che's insistence, the Han army's repeated crusades beat the Huns all the way west, and finally they could only go to plague the declining Roman Empire in distant Europe.

At present, the Qin State does not have the strength to completely solve the Huns, but Li Yuan can also judge that the Maodun, which has just solved the Donghu and Yueshi clans, is also facing the problem of digesting the results of the war and solving the internal instability.

Therefore, the Huns went south, more for the purpose of robbing the Hetao last time, and using robberies again and again to compete with Qin for population, wealth, cattle and horses and other materials, so as to weaken Qin's national strength and strengthen their own tribes.

Since this is the case, Li Yuan doesn't mind using the blood lesson again, so that Mao Dun remembers that Daqin is absolutely unprovoked. Even for this, Li Yuan will not hesitate to consume the wealth he has accumulated with great difficulty. Compared with the battle for the survival of the nation, the previous civil war with Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and other princes is really nothing?

――。

Cover the Tibetan Castle.

The provisional royal court of the Xiongnu.

This Yueshi tribe has been operating for many years of rest, is now the Xiongnu Zuo Xian King's military tent, after the Da Dan Yu Mao Dun ascended the throne, the position of the left and right Xian Wang was given to his two most powerful subordinates, in this war with the Yue Clan, the main force of the Xiongnu army is Zuo Xian Wang's troops.

Tonight, though.

King Zuo Xian is not the protagonist, the real master is Da Dan Yu Mao Dun, as early as two months ago, the talented Mao Dun Da Shan Yu learned the news of the Yue King's attempt to fight back from the fine work. Unlike the Yue Clan King, who is very scheming, Mao Dun, who is good at scheming, pretends not to know the movements of the Yue Clan, but secretly recruits all the elite soldiers of the Xiongnu headquarters to hide on the shore of the Heishui Lake not far from Gaizang City.

When the King of the Yue Clan got carried away and led the Yue Clan army to attack King Zuoxian, Mao Dun suddenly came out from the side and slashed the old King Yue under his horse in one fell swoop!

Now, the wine vessel that Mao Dun is holding in his hand is made of the head of the old Yue King, and the production process of this head wine vessel is somewhat complicated, first of all, the skull will be cut along the eyebrow arch, the skull will be taken, wrapped in animal skin, and inlaid with copper and other metal edges to make a drinking utensil.

Soon after the death of the king of the Yue clan, the skull wine vessel in Mao Dun's hand had just been made, and there was a hint of blood, this fishy smell made the timid people frightened, but Mao Dun was not afraid, attacking Donghu in the east, breaking the Yueshi in the west, the Xiongnu finally became the unshakable overlord of the grassland in just three years.

For such a young and rough male lord, the Huns all surrendered and did not dare to have the slightest dissent.

Note: It's a new day, Mao Dun has come over, it's been quiet recently, comrades who have votes have gotten up to vote, and recommended votes and monthly passes are rewarded! (To be continued.) )
