The flames burned like waves in circles, like tides rushing towards the distant Jinshan Mountains.

At this time, Jinshan seemed to be really made of gold.

In autumn, everything is golden.

Suddenly a fire broke out on the mountainside.

Countless birds sprang up from the forest, hovering in the sky and emitting a long mournful cry.

A yellow sheep covered in flames stumbled out of the mountain fire. After running a few steps, it fell in front of Yang Yi's horse.

The heat wave is billowing and black smoke is rising into the sky.

The war horse snorted uneasily.

"This is the last piece of grassland near Jinshan. If Luo Rilu can't defend it, he will have to flee to the far north and compete with the Jiankun people for the grassland!" In the light of the fire, Zhao Xiong's face was full of ferocity.

"Not necessarily. Although the two armies have suffered heavy losses from our army, they still have more than 100,000 cavalry and will never give up this fertile land." Xia Houxu drove his horses and walked to Yang Yi's side.

"One hundred thousand cavalry are as afraid of us as tigers, and the Xianbei people are all rats!" Li Xiang said disdainfully.

After Yang Yi's five thousand elite cavalry entered the Moxi grassland, the Xianbei people did not take it seriously at first.

He casually sent 20,000 cavalrymen to encircle and suppress them.

However, they were destroyed by the five thousand Longxiang camp in one battle.

In order to frighten the tribes in Moxi, human heads were piled up in the capital.

Although the four of them are leading an army for the first time, there are many old subordinates in the army who have followed Yang Zheng from Xiping. They are well-equipped, have three horses, and have strong combat power.

Jiang Fanye was at the rear to provide support.

There was Yin Chun ahead of them, paving the way for them.

The newly born Niu Dou is not afraid of tigers. The four of them are all eighteen or nineteen years old. They are brave and diligent. They rode on top of Moxi Xianbei and beat them violently several times. They killed seven or eight thousand people in formation and captured more than 20,000. Only then did Moxi Xianbei realize what he was doing.

Those who are not good.

He went back to his old tricks and avoided fighting.

But this group of cavalry had already prepared a countermeasure and set fire to the grassland.

Directly cut off the descendants of Moxi Xianbei.

The Xianbei people have reached a point of no return.

Unless they really escape to the far north and compete for territory with the Dingling people from Jiankun.

"Moxi Xianbei has been king and hegemon in the Western Regions in the past few years. Countries have paid tribute one after another. They live so happily. How can they go to the bitter cold land in the far north? In my opinion, they must be accumulating strength because there has been no movement for such a long time.

, prepare for a decisive battle!" Yang Yi said solemnly.

Influenced by his mother Jiang Ah Lian, Yang Yi gained a high reputation among the Qiang people at a young age.

Everyone who followed the Qiang cavalry was willing to die for him.

Small victories one after another continued to increase his prestige.

"That's great, it saves us having to go look for them again!" Li Xiang spat.

Zhao Xiong laughed loudly, "What you said is absolutely true!"

Xiahou Xu said warmly: "Our army is coming from afar, so we must not underestimate the enemy."

The Qin State's military and military laws are strict, and those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished.

If this is not done well, the military careers of several people may end here.

In recent years, the power of scholars has continued to rise. They stared at the generals with keen eyes and impeached anyone who made mistakes.

Yang Yi is not afraid of being impeached, but he is afraid of disappointing Yang Zheng, and even more afraid of disappointing his mother.

"My father often said that caution makes a thousand-year ship, and it is always right to be more cautious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dozen horses rushing from the south.

The costumes of these cavalrymen were not from Longxiang Camp, but from Luntai Town Fusi. Several of them had high noses and deep eyes, and were obviously barbarians from the Western Regions.

"What happened?" Yang Yi greeted him.

"Reporting to the general, Luo Rilu has united the seven kingdoms of Wusun, Qiuci, Shule, Kangju, etc., with a combined force of 170,000. They want to attack the mansion of Chang Shi of the Western Regions. Governor Yin asked the general to go south to Gaochang for temporary refuge.

"

"Seventeen thousand people!" Li Xiang screamed excitedly.

"Exactly, the Western Region has been suffering from bitter cold in recent years. If the Xianbei people want to survive the cold winter, they can only attack Gaochang." The scout said respectfully.

Even if Yang Yi didn't burn their grasslands, it would be difficult for the Xianbei people to survive the cold winter.

The two groups originally had a total of 200,000 to 300,000 string-controllers and 600,000 to 700,000 herdsmen. However, in recent years, they have become increasingly weak due to the Qin State's continuous attacks and natural and man-made disasters.

Especially after the Gida people moved westward, Moxi Xianbei further weakened.

Speaking in the Western Regions is not as easy as before.

This large-scale alliance among the countries was partly to avenge the defeat of Qin a few years ago, and secondly to covet the wealth of Gaochang.

There is no shortage of gold and silver in the Western Region, but there is a shortage of food.

After the Qin State established Xizhou, it adopted a system of prefectures and counties, organized households and unified the people, and attracted a large number of tribes from the Western Regions to come and submit.

Yin Chun encouraged farming and animal husbandry and protected business travelers. Gaochang's prosperity gradually became the best in the Western Regions.

Coupled with the instigation of Luoyang Sima Yan, these people were ready to take action again.

In the eyes of the countries in the Western Regions, orthodoxy still belongs to the Central Plains.

Wusun, Khotan and other countries have always been close to the Central Plains.

Although Yang Zheng sent a large number of Xuanyi Lang to infiltrate the countries in the Western Regions, the time was still short and they did not enter the core circles of power in each country. They only promoted the influence of Qin among the people.

They were the first to spread the news about the joining forces of the various countries.

Yin Chun's intention was clear. He was afraid that something might happen to Yang Yi and asked them to return to Gaochang.

But Yang Yi obviously doesn't think so.

If the cavalry stays outside, it will be more useful. When they return to Gaochang, will they be used as a garrison?

The eyes of the three brothers collided, and all three of them shook their heads.

"Go back and tell Governor Yin that we will not go to Gaochang. We will stay on the grassland and it will be safer than Gaochang."

The Jin Yiwei was stunned. Yang Yi had a distinguished status and they, the messengers, had no decision-making power. "I obey the orders!"

"Come here, bring some strong wine and meat soup to the brothers in Zhenfusi." Although Yang Yi has a noble status, Yang Zheng is not pampered. He has grown up in Qingying since he was a child. He has had more contact with people and has a more down-to-earth personality.

, a generous person.

Although autumn has just entered, the wind is already biting in the desert west.

The Jin Yiwei have traveled such a long way and need to warm their stomachs and bodies.

"Thank you, General!" Several people's eyes were full of gratitude.

After the soldiers led them down, Yang Yi smiled and said: "Isn't this great battle in the Western Region a great opportunity for my brothers and me to make contributions?"

Li Xiang and Zhao Xiong laughed.

Xiahou Xu asked: "Brother, does he have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

"Do you remember what your father said when we went to war?" Yang Yi asked.

Li Xiang and Zhao Xiong looked at each other in shock. They were only happy when they went out to fight, and their minds were full of how to kill people. They listened to King Qin's words, but did not take them seriously.

Xiahou Xu's eyes lit up, "Open up territory for the Qin Dynasty!"

"That's right! In the past few disturbances in the Western Regions, the Xianbei people united with Wusun and then threatened small countries such as Qiuci, Shule, and Khotan.

Going down to Wusun will cut off the retreat of Xianbei people!" Yang Yi has not learned much in the Qing camp in recent years, and was forced by Yang Zheng to recite various military books.

This is the time to accumulate and make progress.

Yang Yi used a riding crop to draw on the sand, showing the outline of the Western Regions with just a few strokes.

"Wusun is located to the north of the Tianshan Mountains and south of the Yibo Sea (today's Lake Balkhash). If you occupy this place, you can control the western desert, suppress the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and covet the west of the Congling Mountains!"

A few hissing sounds.

Yang Yi's three friends were all shocked.

Wusun is not a small country, and it was once wealthy under the protection of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Tang said that those who offended strong men would be killed no matter how far away they were, so they were beaten in Wusun.

After this battle, the Western Region, which was about to take action, would be at peace.

The same is true now. If the Qin State wants to expand its influence to the Western Regions, it must first cut off the connection between the Xianbei people and the Western Regions.

In recent years, it has been suppressed by the newly rising Xianbei people, and the land to the north has become the pasture of the Xianbei people.

The entire Wusun Kingdom is like a puppet of the Xianbei people.

The Kangju people to the west also continued to encroach on their territory.
