After everyone's persuasion, Rou Yue sat down again. Everyone lost their appetite along with her, and Ji Jie simply ordered the hot pot to be removed.
"It has to be said that it is a good time to choose the White Mountain King at this time!" Sima Xueran analyzed: "The northern desert is extremely cold, and tribes generally rarely go out in such seasons. The living environment is relatively concentrated, and the leaders of each tribe will also be there. At this time, he went to the royal city of Shanyu to pay homage to the King of the Huns. King Baishan only needed a small number of troops to control the royal city and the Xiongnu tribes living nearby, and then took the leaders of other tribes as hostages and forced them to swear allegiance. "
This is the fact. The reason why the King of the Xiongnu has never been able to sit on the throne of the Great Chanyu is because the Huns are divided into two factions, one is represented by him, and the other is represented by King Baishan.
Before attending this year's White Deer Conference, King Baishan had spoken out to support the King of the Huns in becoming the Great Chanyu. He hoped that all tribal leaders would attend and he would arrive early with his group.
As a result, many remote tribal leaders also rushed over, but they did not expect that what was waiting for them was not warm hospitality, but cold swords and guns.
The King of the Huns was also fooled. He told people around him more than once that it was a great blessing for King Baishan to change his mind. It was a wise move to let him go last time.
On that day, as soon as the King of the Huns announced the start of the White Deer Conference, he was shot to the core by an arrow, followed by a swarm of knife and axemen. The King of the White Mountain laughed and walked towards him who had fallen to the ground and said One sentence: "My performance was pretty good, I even believed it myself, hahaha!"
The King of the Huns died with hatred. The only thing that made him happy was that he sent a pair of two girls to the Central Plains. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape this disaster. As long as they were around, someone would avenge me.
Under the threat of the cold blade, the tribal leaders who had been loyal to the Xiongnu king lowered their heads. King Baishan announced on the spot that he would serve as the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, and issued his first order to kill the remaining people.
Who is the remnant? Who else can there be besides Rouyue and the Achi siblings.
In order to prevent those tribal leaders who bowed under pressure from repenting, King Baishan held their children as hostages. Anyone who dared to rebel would first kill the hostages and then lead his troops to massacre his tribe.
The total population of the Xiongnu is comparable to that of a large Central Plains country, but their military strength and combat effectiveness are several times that of a large Central Plains country. Everyone of them has soldiers, and their ability to ride and shoot and their horsemanship are unparalleled in the world.
"Brother Jie, what are your plans?" Ji Xueling asked.
Ji Jie said with great regret: "I originally thought that I would become good friends with the Huns, but now it seems that it is impossible! King Baishan must have learned that I was the one who caused his mutiny to fail last time. Rouyue and her sister are also staying in the country. Zhou, he will regard Dazhou as a thorn in his flesh, and will invade the country on a large scale next year, so I decided to take the initiative. The battlefield cannot be placed on our territory under any circumstances. Dazhou has just developed and cannot withstand the trouble!"
Ji Jie's strategy is to form a coalition after the weather gets warmer in spring and the Yan army will send troops to the Rong and Di tribes. Taking advantage of the fact that the seasonal change in the north is slower than that in the Central Plains, he will first destroy the Rong and Di people to prevent them from colluding with the King of Baishan. , when you have no time to look back, you will do something from behind.
Achi stayed to continue schooling, Rou Yue followed the large army to gather the various Xiongnu tribes that resisted the rule of King Baishan, and joined the coalition forces to fight against King Baishan.
"But the Huns have hundreds of thousands of troops!" Zhao Qian said with some worry: "General Li Mu has been fighting with them for decades, but he can only barely guarantee the security of the border. The total military strength of Zhou and Yan is only
There are tens of thousands of people, but some people have to be left to defend the city. There are even fewer soldiers available. How can we compete with them?"
Ji Jie smiled and said domineeringly: "We don't have many good soldiers. I'm only going to bring 20,000 people there. Together with the 20,000 new troops trained by Yan Guoxin, the total is 40,000 people! Although it is only 10% of the Huns."
One, but King Baishan will never be able to unite his more than 400,000 people like my people. After all, he came to power through mutiny. Many people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. They will say something in front of him and reply.
Too much is another trick! As long as we fight a few battles beautifully at the beginning, plus Rou Yue’s face, those tribes with complaints will rush to defect!"
Everyone nodded, and Rou Yue said sincerely: "Thank you. In fact, you can completely stay out of this matter, but you are willing to help me. I thank you on behalf of my deceased father!"
"You're welcome!"
…
In order to prevent Rou Yue from constantly thinking about the murder of her father, Ji Jie arranged for her to serve as an instructor in a recruit training camp. Of course, this was only one of the reasons. The other reason was to teach and practice the tactics commonly used by the Huns cavalry to the soldiers.
, allowing soldiers to fundamentally understand the enemy's fighting methods this winter and defeat them in one fell swoop next year.
Rou Yue knew Ji Jie's good intentions, she taught very hard, and the soldiers also practiced very hard.
The new weapons eliminated by Ji Jie and others were immediately put into use after being sold to the Seven Kingdoms. The most representative one was the battle between the Qi-Chu Allied Forces and the Qin State. The Qi-Chu Allied Forces used their superior weapons to completely defeat the Qin Army.
In the past, the Qi-Chu coalition was no match for the Qin army, and it was considered a historic victory.
The whole country of Qin was shocked. Everyone woke up from a dream and hurriedly sent envoys to Zhou to buy weapons. I really don't know what happened to the weapons they bought last time. They didn't even show up when the two armies fought.
Ji Jie doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and he's not afraid that you have money. Brother has plenty of goods.
As winter turns to spring, the weather in the Central Plains gradually becomes warmer.
The war drums were beating on the general platform, and Ji Jie climbed onto the high platform, with a group of soldiers below.
"Hello, soldiers!"
"Hello, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"
"Protect our home and country!"
Looking at the resolute faces below, a sense of pride arose in Ji Jie's heart. He said loudly: "Everyone is good. Many of them have gone through many battles with me and have fought for the Great Zhou Dynasty."
What a great contribution! The northern nomads have been harassing our border for a long time. In the past, we were weak and could only stand and be bullied. Now that we are strong, what do you think we should do?"
"Drive out the Tartars!" the crowd shouted.
"Okay!" Ji Jie was full of confidence and began to point: "Ji Jian!"
"exist!"
"You are the commander-in-chief of the left army, leading ten thousand cavalry!"
"Got the order!"
"Zhao Ling."
"The end is here!"
"You are the general on the right, leading ten thousand cavalry!"
"Got the order!"
"Where are Xiong Ba, Xiong Kui, and Xiong Ben?"
"exist!"
"The three of you are the vanguard, and you will follow me to guard the army in the middle!"
"yes!"
There are 20,000 people in the audience. Ji Jian and Zhao Ling each have 10,000 people. Where did the middle army come from?
Don't worry, the 20,000-strong middle army has arrived at the predetermined gathering place, waiting for him to lead it! That's right, it's the 20,000 new army trained by Yan Guoxin, led by the eldest princess Ji Lin. After the two armies merge, she will
Will hand over command.
Not bad, not bad. After the last training, she is very obedient now, but if she only listens to Ji Jie, it won't work if it were her brother, King Yan.
