Monan grassland.

It and the Mobei grassland are both called deserts, but there is a big difference between them.

The bad weather here is slightly better than that of Mobei, flowers and plants naturally sprout earlier, and the whole land seems to wake up earlier than Mobei.

At this moment when winter turns to spring, the Xianbei people also began their spring hunting activities.

Of course, this spring hunt is different from the usual hunting.

It is more of a sacrificial ritual than an event.

The steppe nomads also have their beliefs and their ancestors, so naturally they also need to be sacrificed.

Tanshi Huai, as Xianbei's Shan Yu, is naturally the protagonist of the sacrifice, and he has been preparing since a few days ago.

However, this time, in order to improve the influence of "Mr. Weiguang" in the entire Xianbei ethnic group, Tanshi Huai deliberately added a link of "Mr. " worshipping ancestors.

In this new ceremony, Wei Guang wore the most "gorgeous" Xianbei aristocratic clothes, and after worshipping the Xianbei ancestral god, under the witness of Xianbei Dashan Yu, the high priest awarded the golden scepter representing the administrative power.

These details were specially set up for Wei Guang by the high priest at the request of Tanshi Huai, and they deliberately chose this occasion where almost all the leaders of Xianbei were present, and their purpose was also obvious.

Tanshi Huai did fancy Wei Guang, but he didn't do this to win over or reward Wei Guang, at least not for the main purpose......

Tanshi Huai's dedication to improving Wei Guang's status is all in preparation for the next step of controlling the Han land.

This is actually a kind of helplessness, because he can't find someone like Wei Guang among his own people who has strong strategic planning and government management skills.

And through this period of contact, Tanshi Huai realized how important these abilities were to the rise of Xianbei.

But those stupid clansmen are unwilling to follow the instructions of "Sir" and unwilling to accept Wei Guang's ability!

That's why he ignored the opposition, resolutely trusted and appointed Wei Guang, obeyed him, and even spared no effort to improve his status!

"What's going on, sir, how do you feel about my Xianbei tribe's spring festival?"

After the sacrifice, Tanshi Huai pulled Wei Guang back to Shan Yu's big tent and asked with a smile.

For the national belief, Wei Guang did not dare to slack off, and naturally there was a burst of "pious" praise.

As for Xianbei's development plan in the future, Wei Guang often consults with the lord Tan Shihuai, so he is also somewhat prepared for these moves to elevate his status.

But he didn't expect that Tanshi Huai would have such great courage, and through this sacrifice, it was equivalent to raising his status to the third position of Xianbei at once.

And the second high priest had long since succumbed to the absolute authority of Da Shan Yu and became the faithful mouthpiece of Tanshi Huai. In other words, Wei Guang is now in the Xianbei clan, almost under one person and above ten thousand......

This is indeed something Wei Guang didn't expect, but he doesn't have time to think about it now, since he has achieved this position, he has to do his best to help his master.

"My lord, the people sent to the state have already replied, and they say that the rebellion in the Han land and the state may be pacified......"

Wei Guang saw that there was no one else in the account, so he told Tanshi Huai the news he had just gotten.

"What!? How could it be so fast? Then the Huns and the Qiang people are so unbearable? ”

Wei Guang knew that his master would be so shocked, so he continued to explain the situation to him.

Although there are still some remnants of the Shi clan rebelling in Yanmen, the Hu people's coalition army, which is more powerful, has been defeated by the new Huxian Bei Zhonglang and the army led by Lu Zhi, the governor of the northern land.

"I heard that the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiang Canal was beheaded in the battle, and the leader of the Qiang people, Ouyang Nagu, fled for thousands of miles......"

"Who is this newcomer Lu Zhonglang, whose military achievements have such a strong combat power?"

Seeing that his master was so concerned, Wei Guang introduced Lu Zhi's origin to him, and he still knew a lot about this great Confucian in the North.

"Although his person is only Zhonglang, but in fact, he is in charge of all military affairs in the north, and there is a Han elite cavalry under it, the number of which is more than 5,000, the armor and horses are matched according to the dragoons of the year, and several tiger generals are in charge, and they are indeed extremely brave......"

After introducing Lu Zhi's life, Wei Guang began to introduce the soldiers and horses under his command again.

Seeing that Tanshi Huai's brows were furrowed and his fists were clenched, he began to say his response.

Wei Guang thinks that I am afraid that for a long time in the future, Lu Zhi, the Zhonglang who protects Xianbei, will be the enemy of the entire Xianbei.

It seems that his previous idea of letting the Xianbei people continue to lie dormant and paralyze the Han court is about to fail......

Since this is the case, it is necessary to quickly let Tanshi Huai deal with the problem of internal centralization, and let the entire Xianbei ethnic group prepare for war as soon as possible.

To this end, Wei Guang put forward two suggestions to Tanshi Huai.

First of all, speed up the reorganization of the remaining Xianbei tribes that have not yet been reorganized.

Judging from the current experience and results, once the reorganization is completed, the hidden populations of each tribe will surface, thus greatly increasing the number of Xianbei cavalry.

Wei Guang once roughly calculated for Tanshi Huai that if all tribes completed the reorganization, the Xianbei cavalry would increase from more than 100,000 cavalry to more than 150,000 cavalry.

If this new combat force is used properly, it can allow Xianbei to have a great advantage in the next battle with the Great Han.

However, in order to do this, it will be quite difficult, and even improper handling can lead to large-scale civil strife among the Xianbei people......

This is also the reason why he and Tanshi Huai have been cautious and gradually exerting pressure, and do not dare to blindly go all out.

Some small rebellions are normal, but it is very cost-effective to cause internal friction losses in order to quickly reorganize!

But now the situation has changed, once Lu Zhi quells the rebellion in the state, he will definitely reorganize the northern border defense, if he is allowed to stay in the north for two or three years, even if the Xianbei people have strong combat power, they will pay a great price if they want to enter the Kosenei.

So, there's no time to wait!

Secondly, Wei Guang suggested that trade with the Han people should be hurried.

Because of the looting of last year, the Xianbei tribe is currently quite abundant in various materials, but if you want to arm the extra herdsmen after the reorganization of the tribes, you still need a large number of blades, not to mention that Tanshi Huai also wants to form an elite with armor.

And the only way to obtain these things, Wei Guang believes that the only way to obtain them is through trading with the Han people.

"Eh, if you can capture Yuyang in one fell swoop, you won't make it difficult for these Xu soldiers."

Tan Shihuai couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, if it weren't for the Han general named Zhang Chun in Yuyang City who resisted desperately a few months ago, maybe a large number of iron tools and iron pieces in Yuyang City would have become weapons and armor in the hands of Xianbei people......

Last time, for the sake of long-term consideration, Tanshi Huai brought back many Han blacksmiths, but now there are no raw materials, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!

"Fortunately, this matter is already a little eyebrow-raising, and the light is trying his best to plan."

Iron ore, iron blocks, and even strategic materials such as weapons, ordinary businessmen dare not easily involve them, not to mention that they can't get a source of goods if the quantity is slightly larger.

Fortunately, Wei Guang's ancestors did this business, so it seems that there are some eyebrows under the hard work.

"Since Mr. is doing his best, I must also work harder, and the reorganization can be accelerated, and I will personally go to the Minakada Department tomorrow!"
