The sheep are driven out of the enclosure, and the neighing of "bleating" is sounded to embellish the song that gradually becomes high-pitched, and the women of the Aries tribe laugh and show off in front of their own livestock, and they will compare who has more livestock, and laugh at the families who freeze to death the most in winter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The woman who was ridiculed scolded in a hurry, and then said longingly: "When a man comes back from the state of Chu, he will bring a lot of beautiful clothes, and he will bring a lot of skilled slaves. ”

Yes, the state of Chu in the south is a beautiful place. There is everything there, and the rich are enviable. The god Kunlun seems to prefer the people of that land. It has a warm climate, large tracts of fertile land, and an inexhaustible supply of resources. Since all the good things are taken by them, why can't we take some back from them?

No one on the prairie thinks it's a robbery, they just think that this kind of thing is natural and normal.

Da Danyu taught us to compensate for the losses of the winter from the southern countries. The state of Chu, the state of Qi, and the state of Zhao. It is said that the country there had a very strange name in ancient times -- "Han". After the Great War, the Han Kingdom was divided into many countries, large and small. The affairs of the Han people, the grassland herdsmen are not very clear and never care. All they knew was that in the countries of the south, there was an innumerable amount of grain, beautiful clothes, and intricate ornaments. As soon as we lack something, we pick up the scimitar, ride the horse, and rush in to grab it.

The herders, young and old, men and women, who had woken up from the cold of winter, were talking about the 'fetching' of the tribesmen in the south. This is the order of Da Shan Yu. It is said that it was the people of Chu who angered Da Shan Yu in the matter of harmony. The men on the grassland are heroic and brave, and they look down on the bad guys who deceive and coax them the most. The Emperor of Chu is the number one liar in the world. He originally promised Da Shan Yu to marry the little princess he loved the most, and became the supreme Tugu Hun Shan Yu's Yan family. But now. The Han people repented, and there was no longer any little princess, and even the Rongdi mission sent before was killed cleanly.

What could be more infuriating?

Liars, who are not qualified to stay in this world at all.

Da Shan Yu also told us that the people of Chu are vulnerable, and they will always tremble and beg for mercy in front of the steppe warriors who are armed with scimitars and sit on war horses. The Aries tribe believes in Da Dan Yu. Because we are strong, we only believe in the strong race. Everything you need, as long as you have a knife in your hand and a horse in your crotch, you can get it through bravery and fearlessness.

Heaven probably can't see all great things. Tyranny and prosperity are in some ways synonymous. Legend has it that Rong Di was also monolithic many years ago, but I don't know why, it split into large and small tribes. Aries, Hugh Tu, Lou Fu, Shan Yu Headquarters...... The situation is very similar to that of the Han Kingdom in ancient times. Now, look at the states of Zhao, Qi, and Chu to the south. You can understand the current situation of the Rongdi tribes in the grassland.

Having said that, Rong Di still felt that he was much stronger than the southern division of the Han State. After all, whether it is the Aries King or the Hutu King, the Lou Fu King or the other tribal kings, large and small, will honestly obey Da Shan Yu's orders on key issues. Speaking of which, it is also Tugu Hun who is single in his eloquence and strategy, using extremely tough methods. Bringing together the tribes of the steppe. Everyone knows that a pair of chopsticks is always stronger than a single chopstick.

Usual. When the headquarters attacked the Chu State, the Aries tribe would send troops to follow. What they saw was the state of Chu trembling under the iron hooves of the mighty Rong Di. One by one, the soldiers of the Chu State wearing beautiful battle robes screamed under the scimitars of the Rongdi cavalry. Rong Di envied everything that the people of Chu had, and he also envied the wealth of the people of Chu even more. They thought that the clothes of the people of Chu were so beautiful that even ordinary soldiers could wear beautiful red robes. This is not to mention how many colors of clothes should be worn by other Chu people.

Yes, just one color can make people have so many wonderful fantasies and an incomparably strong desire to possess them. Heaven really favors Chu too much. Why do we have to give them all the good things? What are we? What can we have left but the grasslands, the cattle and sheep, the heavy snow that falls from time to time in the cold winter, and the most terrible and overwhelming locust plague on the grasslands?

Tuyuhun Dadan was a wise king. Usual. When Rong Di sent troops to attack the state of Chu, the warriors of the Aries tribe always sent troops to participate in the whole process. Da Danyu did a very fair job on the issue of the distribution of the spoils of war. Many of the things that were snatched back from the Chu State surprised the warriors of the Aries tribe, because even the things that the Chu people discarded were ten times better than the objects used by the Rong Di herdsmen. In this way, after the battle, the Aries who followed the Shan Yu tribe to fight returned to the tribe, preaching that Da Shan Yu was wise and brave and good at fighting, and at the same time said in a praising tone: How good the things are on the side of the Chu State, and at the same time took out the things they picked up and confirmed them to the clansmen in kind, attracting everyone's admiration and envy.

No matter how wise a person is, there are times when his brain is confused. Da Dan Yu Tuyuhun may be old, or he may have been dazzled by the woman of Chu who came over with him before. For three consecutive years, he ordered that no tribe should be allowed to cross the border to attack the state of Chu. As a last resort, the Aries tribe could only shift its direction and target the spearhead of plundering at the Qi country, which was further away.

This kind of thing is very unpleasant. Rong Di obviously doesn't understand the truth that "rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest". They just felt that the people of the Chu State who were placed at their doorstep did not rob it, but they had to go far away to attack the Qi State, and this kind of thing was simply full of food. What's more, the Qi State has always been the sphere of influence of King Lou Fu. It's like a thief who takes a fancy to the target and is familiar with the stepping point, but is robbed of the prey by an unruly guy in advance. On ****, this is called snatching food, which is to cause a rush and kill people.

King Lou Fu has sent people over several times to negotiate against the despicable behavior of the Aries tribe in grabbing the border. King Lou Fan is a bad-tempered guy, and the messenger he sent spoke in a stern tone, and even made a naked threat: My king said that if the Aries tribe dares to cross the border to attack the Qi country again, then the next time we go south to fight the grass valley, our Lou Fan tribe will definitely get back the women and goods that should belong to us from the Aries tribe.

Few of the people below know about the kings. I heard that the Aries King was so angry that he trembled. And then. It was only then that the warriors of the Aries tribe went south on a large scale and captured Tieyang City.

The Aries King has always wanted to attack the state of Chu, but Da Dan Yu refused. Nima, how good it is to the south! We should kill all the Chu people there, and plant all the land there with grass for grazing cattle and sheep. What rice grains and wheat. It's all unpalatable garbage. What else in the world could be more delicious than beef? Mutton was more tender? I really don't understand if those Chu and Qi people had their heads caught in the door, and they actually wanted to grow grain from the land. It's all forage for cattle and sheep, and it doesn't even smell like after eating.

The ban on Da Shan Yu is really a headache.

Yes, Shan Yu, who can't take us rich and live a good life, is not a good Shan Yu.

The Aries King is one of the Rongdi nobles who have this idea. In fact, ever since Tuyuhun ordered a strict ban on attacking the border towns of Chu, the Rongdi nobles became very dissatisfied with Tuyuhun. The Aries tribe's attack on Tieyang City caused a lot of repercussions within Rong Di. Tuyuhun was originally going to punish the Aries King severely. Ordered the Aries tribe to be assigned to a place like water and grass this year. It's just that before the punishment began, the news was received that all the Rongdi envoys from the capital of Chu had been killed.

I heard that Da Shan Yu became furious on the spot, and even smashed his favorite fine porcelain cup, which was worth tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

Now, Tugu Hun Danyu's attitude towards the Chu State has completely changed. There are no more damn orders to bind the Rongdi warriors to collect honor and wealth with their swords. The focus of the Aries tribe's attack also shifted from Qi to Chu. More than just an Aries tribe. The king even contacted dozens of other small tribes, and everyone believed that the state of Chu had not encountered a war for several years. I'm afraid the people over there have become rigid in their brains. At such times, the gains are often the greatest.

Yes, now is the perfect time to send troops to rob.

We need the women of the Chu country, the food of the Chu country, the beautiful clothes of the Chu country, and all the things that are not available on the grassland.

The Aries King invites the tribes of the Quartet. He even shouted the slogan of "Occupy the State of Chu forever". Many of the smaller tribes attached to Aries have responded. They sent out their armies and formed a mighty army with the Aries warriors.

After more than a month of season, the Rong Di army, led by the Aries tribe, began to march towards the border of the Chu State. Rong Di has never been in the habit of defending the city, even the Tieyang City that was defeated earlier was only plundered. And then just throw it away. This time, the Aries King is determined to snatch back all the benefits lost in previous years. He gathered 130,000 troops from the surrounding tribes, large and small. Of course, on the way to the army, many greedy Rongdi tribes joined one after another. By the time the army arrived closest to Youzhou, that is, the Beihetao grassland outside the Great Wall, the strength of this Rongdi army had swelled to 160,000. The king of Aries liked to use the military strategies of the Han people in ancient times, so he falsely claimed that the total number of troops was 500,000.

Naturally, the Aries King became the undisputed leader of the Rongdi army. God knows what Dadan Yu Tuyuhun is thinking now. Although he withdrew his order prohibiting war with the state of Chu, Shan Yu remained unmoved at the foot of Wolf Mountain. The Aries King has always looked down on Tuyuhun, and thinks that this guy is relying on the previous generation of old Shan Yu to get to the throne. Otherwise, the seat of this generation of Shan Yu must belong to King Zuoxian. Despite this, the Aries King felt that it was a wonderful thing to be able to command an army of half a million.

Well, not 500,000, at most 160,000.

That's still an incredibly large number. If you look down from the sky, you will see that the ground is densely packed with cattle, sheep, people and horses, and the tents set up during the camp stretch for dozens of miles, both in size and quantity, it is very shocking.

The state of Chu and the state of Qi border, and Youzhou is an important military town in the north of the state of Chu. Over the years, the border defense of Youzhou has always been the top priority of the armament of the Chu State. The amount of money and rice invested in Youzhou is staggering. However, King Lou Fu was very wary of the Aries tribe, and even set up a large army on the fringes of the two tribes. In order to prohibit the Aries tribe army from crossing the border to attack the Qi country.

In the eyes of King Lou Fu, Qi Guo is a fat sheep raised by himself. If there is another cross-border attack by the Aries tribe, it means that their cattle and sheep have been snatched away by foreign robbers. It's unbearable. If you want to rob the Aries King, the most you can do is take the route of the Chu State. If you dare to come over again, don't blame Lao Tzu for not looking at everyone's love for Rong Di and fighting back against your ****.

Robbers also have their own spheres of influence and rules. The Aries King was not arrogant enough to dare to challenge the Lou Fu tribe. Therefore, the target of this dispatch of troops is directly aimed at Youzhou.

However, new problems have arisen.

The location of Youzhou is very special. The surrounding area is mountainous, and only the north is grassland. If the 160,000 troops were all concentrated, it would not have been possible to spread out in such a narrow area. The most basic military concept, the king of Aries, still exists. The frontal direction of Youzhou is at most 20,000 horses. Again, this is a calculated number. If it were according to Rong Di's customary practice of attacking with large cavalry, I am afraid that this number would have to be doubled.

A thief is a thief after all. Robbery is a kind of thing, and it is also necessary to divide the time and occasion.

Although Rong Di was strong, he could not really enter the Central Plains. The reason is simple. The terrain there was not conducive to large-scale cavalry maneuvers. Moreover, the people of the southern countries all have very bad habits in the eyes of the Rong Di -- both Chu and Qi like to build cities. Nima, I don't know who came up with this damn practice first. In short, large and small cities have walls, and in front of the thick and tall walls, the cavalry can only sigh. Tieyang City is only a small city on the northern border, and it still costs the Aries tribe as many as thousands of warriors. Speaking of which, the capture of Tieyang City was also luck. If it weren't for the city guards, they would be a waste. Take the initiative to choose Kaesong to surrender, I'm afraid that the battle in Tieyang City will continue for a long time.

The king of Aries quickly made the decision to divide the army - he commanded the main force of 100,000 himself, and the other 60,000 troops turned to the southwest and advanced in the direction of Lizhou. Attack.

The 160,000 army sounds like a lot, but in the face of the much larger army of the Chu State, there is no comparison at all. Fortunately, the people of Chu did not have a large-scale cavalry formation, and it was impossible to feed such a large cavalry army. Heard. The army of Chu numbered several million. The crux of the problem lies here, every time the grassland Rongdi goes south. The people of Chu will gather a large army to defend Youzhou to the death. After calculation, the time for the Aries tribe to be able to rob and fight on the side of Chu is about three months. After a long time, the Chu armies from various states and counties gathered one after another, and when the time came, the situation would be reversed.

Very lucky. The army of the state of Chu hardly dared to cross the Great Wall and take the initiative to attack Rongdi. A few years ago, there were several good generals on the Chu side, such as Yang Jing who was brave and brave. The Aries tribe suffered at the hands of Yang Jing and was defeated several times. The largest one was even led by Yang Jing to kill tens of thousands of Aries warriors.

That is, from that time on. The Aries tribe hated the people of Chu to the core, and they all regarded the Chu people as enemies who did not share the sky.

The Aries King had several sons. On this expedition, he brought three who were already adults. The 60,000-strong army that was divided into troops to go to Lizhou to loot was led by the eldest son, Donghuijing. This practice is mainly to avoid that if the battle on the Youzhou side is unfavorable, you can make up for some losses from the Lizhou side. After all, it takes time for the Chu army to assemble, and if you can take advantage of the interruption of the Chu army's combat strength before and after, you will definitely gain a lot.

The big tent of the Aries King was encamped on the grassland, and Donghuijing crossed the grassland with 60,000 horses and marched in the direction of Lizhou.

Anyway, it is already close to the state of Chu, and as long as you wait for the opportunity, you can launch an attack. Speaking of which, whether it is Youzhou or Lizhou, it is actually the main force of Rong Di in both directions. There is not much difference between 60,000 and 100,000, both sides are dominated by the Aries tribe, and the subordinate tribes are subordinate. The Aries King has enough prestige, and Donghui Jing is also very good at leading troops in battle. Come to think of it, this dispatch will definitely have a good effect, and it will be able to bring back a large amount of loot.

However, the Rongdi army was not without its problems. Provision is the key.

A large army of nomads, because they carry supplies such as cattle and sheep, they will not necessarily be crowded together. Because once the crowd is crowded, the livestock will not have enough forage to feed. The reason why Donghuijing divided his troops was also because of this reason. There are also too many small ethnic groups participating in the exhibition, and the Rongdi army is very scattered. The entire steppe is almost occupied, and the border of Youzhou is full of nomadic armies that may pounce at any moment.

For a time, wolf smoke was everywhere on the border of Youzhou. Despite the early preparations for Rong Di's invasion, the Chu court was still shaken. In the face of the Hongling urgent report sent by Youzhou Thorn Shi, Emperor Shunming could not have imagined that it was just a white sheep tribe, and there were so many nomads who would come to attack. In the face of the nomadic army roaming the mountains and wilderness, the high-level of the Chu State urgently issued an order to prepare for war, and troops in the inland counties were constantly gathered, and then immediately waved their troops north, preparing to resist the invasion of the nomads.

This is also the consistent practice of the Chu State in dealing with the invasion of Rongdi over the years.

Although the combat effectiveness of the infantry was far inferior to that of the cavalry, the Chu side was superior in that the source of disease was sufficient and the number of troops was huge. Although he was unable to attack, he did not have much problem defending.
