Gonzhou.

Gonju is located directly north of Junzhou, and the topography has undergone earth-shaking changes from the border line of the state bordering it, and unlike the countless mountains and forests created by the nine dragon veins that stretch for thousands of miles in the center of Junju City, the border between Gunju and Junju suddenly becomes flat.

But all the land of Dawu is a most precious treasure, and Gonju is no exception, and Gonju and Anju further north, although the terrain has become flat and there are not so many hills and forests, they are equally blessed.

The terrain here is flat, but the water and grass are abundant, and the large and small winding rivers together form the largest grassland in the Dawu country, there are no mountains and valleys, there are no famous mountains and rivers, and there are no precious medicinal materials, food, animals that emerge in the forest one after another, and there is no feat of climbing high and overlooking the distance, and the majesty of the dragon and the tiger.

But here is the most beautiful grassland, the green grassland is connected into a large area, covering the sky, with no end in sight, just like wandering in the green ocean, the sun and clouds divide the grassland into countless pieces of light and dark, so that the bright and gloomy have become the most real and full embellishment on the grassland.

Similarly, the abundant aquatic plants here have raised the most majestic galloping horses here, galloping horses, the world is vast, galloping at will, people in other states of Dawu Kingdom know two sentences, called "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is free for birds to fly", but here is "the land is wide and the horses fly".

There are countless wild horses, spores, deer, and hares roaming the grasslands, flocks of geese, swans, larks, cranes, and horned larks flying in the sky, and here are the fastest horses, the most cunning foxes, the most ferocious wolves, and the most ferocious eagles.

This is a paradise for birds and beasts blessed by the heavens, because of its abundant water and grass and flat and open terrain, all the beasts running on the ground with long legs can unleash the power of their bodies and transform them into galloping spirits with the gift of the earth, thus shocking people's eyes and souls.

This galloping spirit is also infused into the hearts of the people who live here.

Cattle and sheep are the largest number of domestic animals, and in order to meet their food supply throughout the year, the people here drive the cattle and sheep around as adults to feed them enough to eat fresh and juicy aquatic plants.

The strength of the people's feet is not comparable to that of cattle and sheep, so they domesticated another creature here, which is the wild horse. This is the land of horses, and it is a land for them to have fun.

Therefore, people live in pursuit of water and grass, forming groups of tribes, Anzhou and Gunzhou do not have fixed villages in other states, there is only one tribe, and the officials who manage this place in Dawu also follow the customs of the villagers and become the priests of the tribes here.

Because of the continuous flow of the tribe, the management of the Dawu Kingdom is also very passive, so the priests are only responsible for the implementation of important decisions of the Dawu Kingdom, and the daily life and maintenance of order only listen to the orders of the tribal leaders.

Such a loose administration naturally raises multiple problems, but there are two conditions that unite all the tribes and obey the rule and command of Emperor Wu of the Great Martial Kingdom.

The first is the Horde Cavalry Legion.

Although the grasslands stretching for thousands of miles in Anzhou and Gunzhou are covered with hundreds of tribes, large and small, they only raise cattle and sheep and domesticate horses, and the tribal cavalry is a unique legion founded by the Dawu State, with a total of nearly 500,000 tribal cavalry troops in Anzhou and Gunzhou.

Their responsibilities are three, one is to supervise the tribes, the loose flow and migration of the tribes, so that they do not care so much about the rule of Emperor Wu, the tribal cavalry is responsible for contacting the priests, the priests obey the command of Emperor Wu, and when necessary, exercise military jurisdiction over the tribes of all sizes.

The second is to protect the tribes. There are also very dangerous moments in the grassland, the biggest threat is the wolves, wolves are the natural enemies of the grassland livestock, often thousands of steppe wolves come to attack the tribe and their captive cattle and sheep, at this time the tribal cavalry will send troops to shoot the steppe wolves, drive them away.

Another kind of protection is that the people of the tribe have spent all their efforts and energy because of their perennial migration and raising cattle and sheep, and they have no energy and no conditions for many things, such as comfortable clothes, pots and pans, gold and silver utensils, knives for cutting meat, iron frames for cattle and sheep barbecue, wooden carts for cattle and sheep to pull tents and move them, etc.

In order to maintain the normal needs of daily life, the tribe must exchange materials with the towns bordering the northern border of Junzhou and the northwest border of Qingzhou, but whether it is on the grassland or the edge of the boundary of other state borders, it is not very quiet, and sometimes there are thieves, robbers, and murderous bandits, and the tribal cavalry often has to send troops to protect them when they are gathered together and go to the trade.

The duty of the cavalry of the third tribe, and the second reason that unites all the tribes, is to defend against the invasion of the northern giants.

The northernmost part of Dawu Kingdom, that is, the north of Anzhou, is an endless ice field, with perennial ice and snow raging, and only one or two months to thaw. At the beginning of the Dawu Kingdom, the northern giants were expelled to the Endless Ice Field, because the Endless Ice Plain was too cold to be pursued, so the first Emperor Wu gave up and killed them all.

But they survived there, and after the initial riots and adaptations, they thrived in the endless ice fields, harassing and invading the tribes of Anju and Gon for thousands of years.

The tribal cavalry was personally led by the generals of the imperial court of the Great Wu Kingdom, and sent half of the troops and the young and strong forces selected by the local tribes to form the tribal cavalry, which stood on the northern border all year round, and built long ice walls and pillboxes there to resist and guard against the attacks of the northern ice giants.

Each of the giants of the northern ice field is twice as tall as ordinary people, and their strength is also very amazing, and their combat effectiveness is enough to win the top of this continent, so 500,000 tribal cavalry and 400,000 troops are stationed on the northern border, even so, every time the giant reckless people attack, the tribal cavalry legion suffers heavy losses.

I don't know what's going on, in recent years, the number and intensity of their attacks have increased year by year, even if the tribal cavalry legion uses the tactics they are best at to resist, they feel more and more difficult, and Emperor Wu's case is about the northern ice field.

In such a place, there is very little space for Buddhism to survive, so the two northern states of Anzhou and Gunzhou can almost be called the most declining place for Buddhism in this Dawu country, compared with 600,000 Buddhist monks in the three northwestern states, hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks in the southwest two states, hundreds of thousands of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, etc., the two northern states of Anzhou and Gunzhou add up to less than 80,000 Buddhist monks.

Moreover, Emperor Wu Wei Yu's Eight Golden Dragon Orders came, and it didn't take long for half of them to be killed by the tribal cavalry, and nearly 10,000 Buddhist monks escaped, and the remaining less than 30,000 Buddhist monks struggled to support.

They have been able to hold on until now, except that the tribal cavalry corps only has 100,000 troops stationed in the two northern states, and only half of the soldiers and horses can be drawn out to carry out Emperor Wu's order to destroy the Buddha, there is another important reason, that is, the Buddhist monks of the Beizong Temple fled here.

Although there are not many local Buddhist monks in the two states of Angon, the monks of Beizong Temple are numbering in the hundredth thousands. The Buddhist monks of Beizong Temple were the first to receive the golden dragon order from Emperor Wu Wei Yu, and their sensitivity to political decision-making and the situation was something that Buddhist monks in other states could not catch up with.

Therefore, they were the first to run and flee, running from Junzhou to Gunzhou, and finally in the place of Arzhai in Gunzhou, they joined the remnants of tens of thousands of Buddhist monks who were chased and killed by the tribal cavalry in the northern Buddhism, and stationed here to confront the tribal cavalry legion.

Therefore, they have been able to hold on until now, and Yifeng is leading 70,000 wind roaring troops to Arzhai to rescue.
