Chapter 136: Northern Grasslands
"Drive~drive~!"
"Drive~!"
Endless grasslands, covered with snow.
More than 20 men in different costumes, riding horses, kept galloping.
On the steppe.
Between the hills, on the snow on the top of the mountain, there will be stones piled up one by one, with uneven levels of size.
Those are not graves.
Rather, it comes from a kind of prayer to the Divine, a supplication.
Under the hills.
Several men, women, and children are sitting beside the water and grass of the plains.
Next to these young and old, on the snowy plains that stretch across the sky, hundreds of black oyster cows and countless lambs spread across the ice and snow.
The word nomadism, under this landscape, has been perfectly interpreted.
Listen to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
The old and young men turned their heads to look, and then found that on the path of the plain in the distance, it was the tribesmen.
Looked at.
The young and old turned their heads and continued grazing, ignoring them too much.
After about an hour and a half, more than twenty men on horseback finally came to a huge tribe.
The tribe is set under a series of high hills.
And this tribe, in the eyes of the people of other tribes, is called the Yueshi!
Within the tribe.
The snow here has long been cleared, and at this moment, there are countless men and women beside countless tents, and the flow of people is dense, among which there are even more men in the stalls, and even among them, there are some men from the Central Plains.
The twenty men followed the tribe and eventually came to an 'ancient city' made of stone and mustard.
It is said to be an ancient city, but it is different from the cities of the Central Plains.
The ancient city behind the tribe was carved out of a huge and towering hill.
There are no gates.
But the road up was guarded by more than a dozen men armed with scimitars.
"The Huns ask to see the king!"
Among the more than twenty men, a man stood up and said to the man on guard, while speaking, holding his finger to the sky, then lowering his head, and placing his hands on his left and right chests reverently.
One of the men guarding the road returned the salute, then turned and walked up the path behind him.
After a long time.
When the man came down, he said that he could let the man go up.
Salute again.
A man with two men, as well as a man from the Hun tribe, walked towards the top of the ancient city.
The four of them followed the trail, and after going up a few steps, they could see that on the mountain next to the trail, there was a hollowed-out hole every dozen steps.
The small cave door is not big, and it can only accommodate one person in and out, but the space inside can accommodate seven or eight people to sleep.
The man from the Xiongnu tribe didn't dare to look more inside when he saw this kind of dirt pit.
Because there was any person inside, he didn't dare to provoke it.
The Yueshi is different from their Xiongnu, and the territory of the Yueshi is not only the plains, but also the towering earth mountains.
And the people of the Yue tribe can generally only live in tents.
Like these places where the winter is warm and the summer is cool, and it is very safe, the people who live there are all members of the Yue Clan.
End of the trail.
The Hun man followed the three men to the small mouth into the mountain.
After entering the small opening, follow the narrow dirt stairs inside, and keep going up inside, and after a while, you will walk out of the path.
Compared to below, after walking out of the trail, standing on the flat ground in the middle of the mountain, the surrounding view is endless, far wider than below.
And above, there are also houses made of wooden beams.
"Sangia!"
On the flat ground in front of the wooden house, accompanied by several tribal maids, a young girl came up to the four men and asked one of them.
The girl was dressed in tribal costumes and wore ornaments, and her head was tied with long hair tied in long strips, and colorful strips fluttered in the wind.
"Sangia has seen Princess Yangjin!"
When the man saw the girl, he hurriedly blessed.
At the time of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Yueshi bartered with the Central Plains people, and then the Zhou destroyed the Shang and determined the Son of Heaven, and the Yueshi also implemented the monarchy system.
The girl in front of her is the daughter of the Moon King.
It is also known as the flower of the Moon.
"How did you get here today?"
The girl asked, her eyes looking directly at the sturdy Sangia, who gave people a sense of heroism.
Flat ground.
Faced with inquiries. Sanjia, who was obviously burly, looked at the girl in front of him, felt a little worried in his heart, his eyes were flustered, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Two years ago, their Xiongnu tribe fought with the Yueshi, don't look at this girl is particularly beautiful, but in that battle, it was this girl, with the Yue's tribal men, to face their Huns, that battle, this girl was armed with a scimitar, and one person killed several Hun men.
After that war.
It is said that the Yue clan, that is, the entire Huns, and even Lin Hu, know that this girl is not only good at leading soldiers, but also good at fighting.
"Sangia was ordered to come to see the king of the Yue clan."
Sangia said to the girl.
Then bow your head again and make a blessing salute.
The girl stood in place, her long braids fluttering with the cold wind.
Watching Sangia walk towards her father's palace above, the girl thought about it and walked quickly.
A moment later.
Among the largest and most luxurious wooden palaces in the ancient city.
Sangia meets the king of the Yue clan in his forties.
And also bluntly said the intention of this time.
"I have already received the news that in more than a month, where the high slaves of the upper county of the Qin State will be replaced, and then it will be a young Qin general to guard the town, as long as we take the opportunity to destroy the iron cavalry army of the Qin State in the upper county."
Sanjia said to the king of the moon clan, and his tone was full of determination and confidence as he spoke.
This news, but an official of the Qin State secretly informed them of the Xiongnu, and the official's purpose seemed to be to let the young man die.
Sangia believes.
When the king of the Yue clan knew this news, he would definitely understand what their Huns wanted to do.
"My Yue clan is close to the north of the Qin State and Longxi, if you kill the Qin State Iron Cavalry in Shangjun, where is the Qin State."
The Moon King said softly.
Understanding the meaning of the Xiongnu, the king of the Yue clan said that it was false that he was not moved, in the past, if their Yue warriors wanted to go south, they would definitely fight with the defenders of the northern land of Qin, Longxi, and Shangjun.
The Qin State infantry is okay, they can still run if they can't beat the Yue Clan, but the Qin State Iron Cavalry has always been a huge threat.
If you can really eat the 10,000 iron horsemen in Shangjun, then the threat of going south in the future will naturally be much smaller.
However, if the Qin State retaliates?
"The Qin State destroyed Han, and now the vassal states in the Central Plains are all staring at the Qin State, especially the Chu State and the Zhao State adjacent to the Qin State, how dare the Qin State launch a large army to attack the Yue Clan at this time."
Sanchi Alang said.
"It's that the Qin State wants to take revenge, first, this is not the Central Plains, here, how can the Qin State foot soldiers be the opponent of the grassland Erlang. Second, the Qin State lost this iron cavalry, and within three or five years, there were not enough iron cavalry to dare to come to the grassland to fight the grassland warriors. ”
Inside the wooden palace.
Sangia's words made everyone stunned in place.
The elders of the Yue tribe listened to Sanjia's words and began to talk to each other.
All the elders understood in their hearts that the territory of the Xiongnu was close to the Zhao State, and the Zhao State had Li Mu, and the Xiongnu did not dare to go south to the Zhao State.
Although it is a use.
But again, the elders knew that there was nothing wrong with Sangia's words.
Every year, the Qin State guarded against them going south to the Central Plains.
Their Yue clan sent troops south every year, but most of them returned in vain, and the best result was only to grab one or two cities, and they didn't dare to stay too long at all.
If this time it can really destroy the Qin State Iron Cavalry in Shangjun.
Without an army of iron cavalry, Shangjun would no longer be a threat to them.
That's a county!
Although it is bound to offend the Qin State, he is not worried at all.
As long as the iron horse is eaten, what can the Qin State do.
This is the territory of the grassland Erlang, not to mention the Qin State, that is, the Zhao State, which vassal state in the Central Plains will never dare to send a large army to kill the grassland, otherwise how many will die.
This is also the reason why after the defeat of the Xiongnu, it was not destroyed by Li Mu of Zhao State.
Even Li Mu didn't dare to lead troops into the grassland, how could the Qin State, which was killed by Li Mu of the Zhao State, dare to come to the grassland.
Wooden palace on.
The king of the Yue clan sat on the animal skin seat, thought for a moment, looked at his daughter Yang Jin, and found that Yang Jin seemed to be the same as him, and had already guessed that there must be a master behind the Xiongnu.
What Sanjia said was not at all something that a Hun could say.
Consider this.
King Yue thought about it, but he no longer minded cooperating with the Xiongnu.
Since the Xiongnu have the help of the Central Plains behind them, then they don't mind making a little effort and waiting for another month.
For now, appease the other tribes.
A month later, even the principal with interest was taken back from the Qin State.
A moment later.
Seeing that the elders were all nodding, the Yue Clan King looked at Yang Jin.
"Yang Jin, you send someone to inform all the tribes, and the day of going south will be changed to a month later."
The king of the Yue clan said to his daughter.
Yang Jin heard his father's words, saluted and blessed him, and then turned to leave.
Although she did not go south, she invaded the Qin State.
But for the Central Plains men, she has some impressions in her heart, looking at those businessmen in the Central Plains, she knows that in terms of burly strength, the Central Plains men are not as good as their grassland warriors.
Since the father decided to unite with the Xiongnu and go south.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to see how capable the Qin people were.
Changed again in the morning!
In the future, not only Wei Qing and Huo Quai. Good night, readers!!
