After talking about the first difficulty, Bu Shen continued to elaborate on the second difficulty: "There is also a second difficulty, which is to reconnoiter the camp of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people have no fixed place to live and often move, so it is really difficult to accurately grasp their whereabouts. And they weren't all together, but were divided into many tribes, large and small, each of which was far apart, which made it even more difficult for us to carry out our plan of fire. ”

Due to the pasture problem, the nomads were not destined to live together, and they had to live in different places, each occupying a pasture for grazing. If they live together, the grass near the settlements will not be enough to feed such a large number of livestock.

The situation like the Xianbei Royal Court in Danhan Mountain is more special, it is a nomadic civilization or the product of a society that has developed to a higher stage. The Xianbei court was inhabited by a large number of Xianbei nobles who were not engaged in production, and they did not need to go to herd, but lived on the tribute and wealth of various tribes.

Or, they have their own pastures, but they are not in the royal court, but around the royal court, or even beyond. These nobles had a large number of tribes or slaves grazing for them, and the wealth of cattle and sheep, milk, furs, and so on produced by grazing was imported into the royal court for these nobles to squander.

In fact, all cities are probably in this pattern, and around a city are a large number of rural areas, which are much larger than cities. Grain, agricultural and sideline products, and means of subsistence produced in the rural areas are continuously imported into the cities for consumption by the people living in the cities.

Therefore, in order to support a city, it is often necessary to have several times the area of rural areas, and no city can exist on its own. In terms of force value, the Kebi Energy Department is stronger than the root of the step, but in terms of the level of social development, the Kebi Energy Department is much inferior.

This is because Budugen inherited the valuable property left by his ancestors. Its ancestor Tanshi Huai unified the Xianbei tribes, formed a Xianbei kingdom, and established the Xianbei royal court, which is equivalent to the capital here. It can be said that Tanshi Huai has advanced the civilization level and social form of the Xianbei people by a big step.

As a descendant of Tanshi Huai, Budugen inherited his legacy, and naturally could enjoy the fruits of these civilizations. However, the existence of the unified Xianbei Kingdom was too short, and as soon as Tanshi Huai died, the Xianbei Kingdom was almost in name only. In Budugen's generation, Xianbei was directly torn apart.

It is really a sad thing that the progress of the kingdom's civilization has not had time to be promoted and radiated ~ to other parts of the Xianbei tribe. It was clear that the Kebi Nengbu had not yet evolved to the level where the Sandalwood Huai was in the Xianbei royal court at that time, although he was determined to follow the example of the Sandalwood Huai, dreaming of one day being able to unify Xianbei like him, but so far, it was only a dream.

Kebineng was originally born in a small tribe and had not been influenced by advanced civilizations, and after he led the tribe to become stronger, he had not had time to reform the organizational form of the tribe, so his power is still the backward tribal alliance society. His tribe is the most powerful tribe in this country, occupying a large ~ piece of grassland with the most abundant water and grass, which is a relatively fixed settlement.

The reason why it is relatively fixed is that the settlement changes regularly, and as soon as the grass near the settlement is eaten by livestock, they have to migrate, but the migration is limited to the pastures with abundant water and grass. Of course, the pasture is also large enough to accommodate their rotational lifestyle.

Other tribes also have relatively fixed pastures, usually in their own pastures in rotation grazing, if there is a war, Kebineng will send messengers everywhere, go to various pastures to find the leaders of each tribe, and order them to dispatch the athletes in the tribe, gather in all directions to the Kebineng tribe, and then set off together to fight.

In this era when communication is basically on running, it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to gather people, especially some tribes are not necessarily willing to send people, and they often have to fight a lot, which is very troublesome. But this is something that cannot be helped, the nomadic way of life determines that they can only be scattered on the grassland, and it also determines that their form of social organization can only be this loose form of tribal alliance.

This form of social organization caused inconvenience to Kobi to mobilize troops, and at the same time brought greater trouble to the second division's fire attack plan. Kebi Nengbu still knew that each tribe was grazing in that range, but the second division was completely blind and had no idea about the distribution range of the various tribes in the grassland.

You don't even know where the enemy is, how can you attack the enemy? Even if you have a big killer weapon like the original ~ son ~ bullet in your hand, you are helpless, do you want to plow the whole earth? Step explained this difficulty, and for a while, the generals didn't think of a good solution, and they didn't wait for them to come up with a solution, and then began to talk about the third difficulty:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is actually a third difficult thing to do." Hearing his words, Guan Xing said eagerly: "Come quickly." It's no wonder that he was so anxious, and finally had a plan that seemed very good, but he didn't expect that there were so many difficulties, and each difficulty was difficult to solve, it seemed that it was not easy to succeed.

"Yes, Commander! The third difficulty is the problem of the Han people, in addition to the Xianbei people, the area between these two sections of the Great Wall is also inhabited by many Han people, especially Daijun, Shanggu, Mayi, Baideng, Sangqian and other cities, which are dominated by Han people. If we carry out this plan to set fire to the prairies, it will inevitably affect these Han people.

The Han people in the city are not afraid, but those who live outside the city are in danger. If the wildfires are not controlled, they may spread to the Han Chinese settlements, and those Xianbei people who are forced to be anxious may also attack and loot the villages of these Han people. Therefore, before we officially launch the plan, we must first settle these Han people. ”

After listening to Bu Yan's words, the generals in the conference hall fell silent again. None of these three problems are easy to solve, especially the third one. The first problem is actually a problem of troops, as long as there are enough troops, they can hold all the gates and gaps.

The second problem actually involves manpower, and a large number of reconnaissance personnel must be sent into this area to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. The third issue is manpower, and a large number of people must be sent to persuade and organize the people to relocate.

However, the third problem is not only solved by manpower, because the Han people have always had a tradition of not leaving their homeland, and it is not easy to get them to move away from their hometown. Moreover, if the people outside the city have moved away, who will provide for the people of those cities?

It can be said that although the first two difficulties are also difficult to handle, the third difficulty is the most difficult. Of course, with other warlords, the third question cannot be a problem at all, because they do not need to care about the lives of the people.

However, the Hong army is different, as the army of the Han Dynasty, they have the tradition and discipline of caring for the people, which no one dares to violate, if they disregard the life and death of the people, even if they win the battle, they will be punished by military discipline later.

But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, and finally there is a feasible plan, where can it be easily given up. Without saying a word, Guan Xing organized a meeting of people overnight to discuss solutions to the problem and specific action plans.
