Chapter 381: The Hegemony of the Strong

History, there are always striking similarities.

In the era when Li Yuan did not come, from 200 BC to 199 BC, the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu began a series of fierce battles around the northern frontier, and finally ended with the Xiongnu soldiers besieging Baideng and Liu Bang's defeat, and this time, the fuse between the Qin State and the Xiongnu was caused by the Aries tribe.

The Xiongnu are known as a nation on horseback, almost all the people are soldiers, and if the entire grassland tribe responds in unison, it is estimated that the people who control the strings can dispatch about 300,000 people.

This number is already 100,000 fewer than the historical 400,000, and the 100,000 less is exactly the number of troops lost by the Xiongnu in the Battle of Yanbei a year ago.

In order to deal with the Xiongnu, the Western Han Dynasty in history recuperated for more than 30 years, and only then did it begin to accumulate the war horses and armor needed for the big counteroffensive, and there were enough elite soldiers and strong generals, however, the new Qin under Li Yuan was not the old and weak Han established by Liu Bang, and the battle to unify the Kwantung region did not consume too much Qin Liliang, on the contrary, with the surrender of famous generals one by one, the generals of the Qin army were star-studded, and the soldiers were even more fierce.

Compared with the Huns who only walked on one foot in the military, Qin's advantage was the strength of comprehensive national strength, the Central Plains has entered the Iron Age, the application of advanced technology, as well as the widespread promotion and planting of high-yield crops such as wheat and rice, as time goes by, Qin's advantages in economic development will become greater and greater.

At the same time, in the political and diplomatic game, the Xiongnu said that the people of the Dayue branch were moved to take refuge, and of course the Qin State also used the color, which is the magnanimity of a great power.

State-to-state relations.

In fact, whoever has a hard fist and a big liliang will have the first opportunity. There is no need for any salute before the soldiers, and any verbal protests.

The weak can only be bullied, and only the strong can laugh proudly.

If you want to fight, you will fight.

Since you have already torn your face with the Huns, you should simply not do it. All-round suppression, with the momentum of Mount Tai to the top, the arrogance of the Huns was knocked down first.

This is the proposition that Li Yuan has always pursued. The Huns, since they are ready to be the enemies of Great Qin, must bear the difficulties brought by this.

Unite everyone you can unite and isolate the worst enemy you want to fight.

This is the self-evaluation of the republic's Taizu quotations that his side can finally win. Although Li Yuan did not carry any golden fingers, the lessons of history he possessed, as well as his familiarity with the future development trend of this era, were the most reliable reliance of the Qin State.

Huns.

This is a nation that Western Europeans describe as the "Yellow Peril". It will be defeated by the Qin army, and in the wind and snow of the Tibetan city, thousands of Qin army generals are Li Yuan's right-hand men. The 20 million people under the rule of Great Qin will also work together to defeat the Huns.

20 million people.

This is the number of people registered in the Qin State, of which the number of households is about 520,000, which is a lot more than 15 million and 370,000 households in the early Han Dynasty, and the increase mainly comes from the Guanzhong and Bashu regions.

The great turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty in history began in July 209 BC when Daze Township was unveiled. By 205 BC, when Chu and Han were vying for power, the population had been on a downward trend, and by the time Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting, the population had plummeted. The appearance of Li Yuan. and the resurgence of Xinqin, which changed not only the history, but also the lives of many people.

For example, Zhang Han and Zhang Ping would have died a long time ago. And now they have united with the Zhang family in Guanzhong, and they have all survived intact, like this example. The list goes on and on.

――。

Outside the Jade Gate, on the edge of Lop Nur Daze.

The Peacock River does not dry up as it did in later generations, and the winter and summer seasons of each year are when this seasonal inland river erupts.

Summer is torrential rain and flooding.

Winter is when the blizzard melts.

After experiencing a catastrophe for the whole clan, the Aries Ghost Fang tribe survived the darkest days in the area of Lop Nur.

In self-blame, the witch king Jinxi used her not strong arms to encourage the clansmen again and again to work hard to live, because only by living can they comfort the warriors who died on the march for the survival of the tribe.

Feelings between people.

Sometimes, just like the white snow falling from the sky, it falls on a piece of loess in a flutter, accumulating thicker and thicker, slowly melting together, and turning into moist soil.

And one of you, pinch one of me.

How many nights.

Jin Xi tossed and turned, tears wet his clothes, and what appeared in front of him was Bai Qin's figure, this brave and fearless young man, like a bolt of lightning, pierced into Jin Xi's closed heart.

As the Witch King, no man from the Aries tribe dares to look her eyes into the eye of all things.

Twenty-one years, twenty-one years old. In Jin Xi's life, there has never been a man, every day, in addition to communicating with the gods in the sky, around her is a group of elders who are dying and decaying, exuding the breath of old people.

In such a dignified and solemn atmosphere, Jin Xi's girl's nature is very suppressed, and all her apparent maturity is actually just a disguise.

Man.

For Jinxi, it is a luxury that can only be imagined in the bottom of his heart, but can never be realized. Therefore, when the Qiang man named "Bai Qin", perhaps the Qin person, suddenly appeared in front of her, and said the oath of Hexi Qiang to be the vanguard and fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu in front of those suspicious tribal leaders and households, Jin Xi's heart moved.

This kind of heartbeat is first gratitude, then attraction.

Bai Guangji has the unique tenacity and fearlessness of the soldiers of the Qin State, in the face of difficulties, he will frown, put forward his own suggestions again and again, and will not complain about anything out of thin air, in the face of difficulties, he will give up his life, use his actions to split all obstacles, and give a piece of light to those who trust him.

Such a man is the most trustworthy person for women.

However, he was such a good man, but his life was delayed by her stubbornness and hesitation.

On the question of returning to the east or continuing to flee west, Jin Xi hesitated, and it was this layer of irresoluteness that made the Aries tribe's return to the east extremely difficult.

Looking back now, those small tribes that fled west from the main force of the tribe are now all gone, if she could humbly accept the persuasion of "Bai Qin" at the beginning, maybe the result would be very different from now, at least, the Aries tribe will not fall into the trap of the Yuezhi people, at least, there will be many more clansmen who can return east to the Qin State than now.

Just when Jin Xi was at a loss, she suddenly received an order from Li Zhongxiang, the county guard of Hexi, asking her to take the people to move to Yumen Pass, and the place to live is the weak water river under the Qilian Mountain, which is the place where the Qiang grazed in Hexi in the past.

According to the envoy of the Qin State who came to deliver the message, this was an order personally given by Li Yuan, the king of martial arts.

Li Yuan.

This name made Jin Xi's heart tremble.

She didn't expect that with Li Yuan's current prominent status, she would still be concerned about a declining tribe like them, you must know that after losing a large number of cattle and sheep, losing many healthy women of the right age to give birth to, and losing young children, they have not been able to help Qin deal with the Xiongnu in a short period of time.

A useless tribe.

If it is placed on the grassland, it will not take a month to be divided up by other tribes who have come to the country. With gratitude, the Aries tribe embarked on a new journey, this time, with the protection of the Qin army, they did not need to worry about being hunted down, and they did not have to abandon their companions and steal their lives alone.

February 13.

Weak waterfront.

More than 4,600 tribes of the Aries tribe arrived at the location of the settlement of Haode in Hexi County of Qin State, and when Jin Xi and others arrived, the officials of Qin State in charge of Hexi County affairs were already waiting there early.

To Jin Xi's surprise, the Qin official who contacted her was also surnamed Bai, the word Mingying, from Fufeng County, Guanzhong, where it was the township of "Bai Qin", this somewhat haggard and old middle-aged man was actually an elder in Bai Qin's clan, and for a while, Jin Xi, who was ashamed and apprehensive in his heart, suddenly became flustered.
