Chapter 268: Kuroshio
Qin Ge guessed correctly, the Dafan tribe is the future and the ancestor of Tubo who occupies the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Because in Tibetan, Tibet can be interpreted as "Shannan" or "upper part".
The word fan also represents agriculture and animal husbandry, pointing out that this is a tribe that originated in the Shannan region, a tribe that lived in agriculture and animal husbandry.
The Dafan tribe is currently only one of the tribes attached to the Zhangzhung Kingdom.
I'm afraid I couldn't have imagined that eight or nine hundred years later, they would become the rulers of the entire Xiqiang Heights!
As for the Zhangxiong Kingdom that the Dafan people said, they have also heard a little.
This is a prehistoric civilization in ancient Tibet.
The recognized history of the Tibetan Plateau probably began in the 7th century AD, when Songtsen Gampo unified the Tibetan Plateau and established the Tibetan regime, introduced and supported Buddhism, and invented the Tibetan language. It is here that all the historical records of Tibet began.
It is said that in the late Shang period of China, an ancient kingdom was born in Tibet, which is the legendary Zhangxiong Kingdom.
However, there are no official historical documents directly recording it, so the civilization is always full of legends.
Qin Ge didn't expect that the Zhangxiong Kingdom really existed, and its strength was not weak.
When Qin Ge followed the Tibetans to the Dafan tribe, he consumed 10 points of luck to the front, cast a heavenly eye, conducted terrain reconnaissance, and immediately saw an ancient Tibetan city.
Dafan is bigger than imagined, its tribe built around the mountain, most of the buildings, are carved according to the mountain, and the Tibetan architecture of later generations has many similarities, the formation is a castle-like mountain city.
In total, there can be 10,000 or 20,000 households, and the total population may reach 100,000!
This is a vast and sparsely populated plateau, and it is definitely not a small tribe.
Surrounded by fertile grasslands, it was developed into pastures, with large tracts of farmland that the ancient Tibetans dug canals to divert water, thus forming a more primitive irrigation system.
This is a typical half-farming, half-pastoralistic tribe.
Hunting was also a source of food for the Tibetan tribes.
Even from such a distance, you can feel the sound of drums coming from the ancient and primitive villages, and the primitive and desolate and loud singing voices of the ancient Tibetan land, which is completely different from the Central Plains China at this time.
How big is the world? How many peoples, races, and civilizations are there?
Qin Ge really couldn't imagine it, but he found a little pattern.
He has traveled to different races, and has traveled to different regions, and finally found that the distribution of races in this world is directly related to the form of civilization.
Human beings in this world generally represent the traditional agricultural civilization.
Why is it so difficult to find foreign races in the Central Plains of China? It is precisely because China has been an agricultural civilization since ancient times that nomadic herding has been squeezed to the north or the west.
It is not difficult for Qin Ge to speculate that in the core area of the Mauryan Empire, that is, the agricultural area near the Ganges River Valley, as well as Greece and Rome, these ancient countries in the Mediterranean were also dominated by humans.
As for the traditional nomadic areas, it is more complicated.
There may be humans in this place, but they are generally foreign.
The Xiongnu in the Mongolian steppe and the Yueshi in the Hexi steppe, although there are also human distributions, the alien population accounts for eighty or ninety percent, and is in an absolute dominant position.
In addition to these laws.
Qin Ge also found some patterns.
The dark regions of Earth's history have the potential to give birth to completely unknown alien powers, such as the Nanyang Islands where Naga lives, including Indonesia and the Philippines, which are almost zero recorded in BC.
The legends of this period are basically not found, and it is completely no man's land.
But Diao Chan learned a fact by extracting Naga's memories before.
The South Sea Islands may have the world's largest sea tribe power!
Of course, Qin Ge's exploration of this mysterious world is still very shallow, and he doesn't know how accurate these laws are, but this mysterious and vast world, even if something happens, it will not be strange.
Qin Ge wanted to explore the unknown world.
He had to make himself strong first.
The biggest obstacle in front of us now is the princes of the Central Plains and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who came to ancient Tibet this time, and must find a way to enter Sichuan, and then ambush the Qinling army here, as long as the time is ripe, he will seize Bashu in one go.
After Liu Bang lost Bashu, is he still qualified to become the leader of the princes' alliance?
At that time, there will naturally be an old Zhao who is more suitable than him to replace him!
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping could not have imagined that the Huaxia troops would go around to the plateau to attack Bashu, after all, no army in Huaxia could march on the plateau so far, and they could not even find a reliable route into this wild highland.
We are about to arrive at this tribe of ancient Tibetans.
Qin Ge believed that his arrival would inevitably cause a sensation and riot.
The Qin army's equipment and weapons were enough to shock these people living in primitive society, not to mention that Qin Ge had always driven more than two hundred frost snakes to appear in front of the natives of this tribe at the same time, so wouldn't it scare them to death?
However, this was not a problem for Qin Ge to consider.
In the end, he is just an outsider, and showing strength is a way to gain a foothold!
"Let's go!"
Qin Ge had just given the order and was about to lead the troops to approach, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the ground under his feet seemed to tremble...... Earthquake?
"It's Kuroshio!
Qin Ge was a little confused when he heard the frightened cries of the Tibetans, and when he looked at the epicenter, he was taken aback by the scene presented in front of him!
There is a black torrent pouring out of the horizon!
If you don't distinguish carefully, you will think that it is a flood that will wreak havoc on the entire grassland!
But this is not a flood at all, it is actually tens of thousands of giant yaks!
This yak is about four times larger than the earth yak, standing close to two people tall, with a mane like a steel needle, two thick and large huge horns, its length is not inferior to two three-foot bronze swords, its hardness is not even inferior to steel, there is a pitch-black and shiny metallic luster!
It turns out that the so-called Kuroshio is a spectacular scene produced by hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of giant wild yaks running wild at the same time, and this kind of momentum will not be inferior to the charge of hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen!
The Dafan tribe was suddenly in chaos.
People abandoned their farmlands, pastures and houses on the plains and headed for the mountain towns.
Because the place where the Kuroshio Tide passes through will flood exactly where the Great Fan is.
These wild yaks generally have about double strength, and their running speed is more than 100 kilometers even if it is not comparable to the high-speed rail, and when a body weighing several tons of copper skin and iron bones forms a torrent at such a high speed to impact a certain target, nothing can survive this formation.
Qin Ge couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw it.
Wild yaks flooding the plateau?
How can such a unique natural disaster occur!
The Tibetans panicked and said, "There is nothing to stop the Kuroshio, if we don't leave, we will be trampled into mud!"
The Kuroshio current is a common phenomenon in the highlands.
No matter how high the cultivation is, it is impossible to resist the Kuroshio.
Once the Black Tide breaks out, the destructive power is not inferior to the charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry, these yaks are savage and stupid, they only care about rushing forward, they will not stop until they are exhausted, even if they are in front of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, they are not afraid, what power can stop them?
"Once the black tide passes, this tribe, if not destroyed, will be destroyed by more than half. Qin Ge faced the spectacular black tide, and suddenly had a thought: "Since we have encountered it, we can't stand idly by, let's try to stop them." ”
He said this in ancient Tibetan.
All the Tibetans were stunned, was this outsider crazy, he thought he could stop the Kuroshio? Even if the troops he brought were strong, the scale of the Kuroshio was too large for anyone to compete with, and any attempt to stop the Kuroshio would pay a heavy price.
It was still a quarter of an hour before the arrival of the Kuroshio.
When the Dafan tribe did not have time to take back their cattle and was running for their lives in a hurry, they suddenly heard a stormy sound of horses' hooves from the other direction, and under the stunned gaze of all the natives, a cavalry of more than 10,000 people quickly rushed to the front.
The horses disappeared immediately.
10,000 cavalry turned into 10,000 infantry, a layer of shield arrays was set up in the front row, and the rest of the soldiers raised their Qin crossbows one after another, and the crossbow arrows entwined with black qi were aimed at the front, and they were in a posture of fighting the Kuroshio head-on with ease and hard work.
Tens of thousands of wild yaks are getting closer.
They completely ignore the obstacles that stand in their way!
The Tibetans of the Tibetan tribe of the Tibetan tribe could not understand where this force came from, but what difference did it make if they were more killed? It was too late to do anything now, because the Kuroshio was getting closer and closer, five thousand meters, three thousand meters, one thousand meters, five hundred meters......
Waves formed by countless crazy wild yaks.
Just as he was about to crash into it with infinite power.
A young man in white riding a green horse walked to the front, he faced the yak herd close at hand, without the slightest fear, a black light rose from his body, and turned into a black dragon with teeth and claws in mid-air!
Ying Long!
This is a black Ying Dragon!
Its volume is not large, only fifty or sixty meters long, but the moment Ying Long appeared, it immediately generated a dragon power that seemed to have condensed for thousands of years, and in an instant, it covered the front and shrouded these wild yaks.
"Woooooooooooo
These hysterical yaks whined in horror.
Tens of thousands of yaks were about to slow down or even go backwards in a hurry, but they were hit by the yaks rushing from behind, and tens of thousands of yaks fell into a mess in an instant, and many yaks were directly stabbed to death by the horns of their companions, or trampled to death by the herd.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Qin Ge waved his hand, and the rain of pitch-black arrows roared up, like flying locusts, and then towards the storm, constantly sprinkled among the cattle, causing a large number of bison casualties in an instant.
More than two hundred Frost Serpents joined the battle.
The snake breathed and directly froze the bison, or flicked its tail to shoot the bison to death.
I saw that the mighty and unstoppable black tide actually separated the two halves from the middle, and the torrent formed by the cattle herd just avoided the insufficient pastures and farmland of Dafan, and almost did not cause losses to the tribe!
