The lifestyle and war philosophy of the nomadic people are very different from those of the Han people.
The Han people live from sunrise to sunset and stay on a small piece of land all their lives, so they are used to building houses and building walls. However, the nomadic people live in pursuit of water and grass. After eating this grassland, they have to drive their cattle and sheep there.
In the next meadow, building a house was too luxurious for them. Before the house was built, they had to leave.
Twenty years ago, Tan Shihuai established his royal court in Danhan Mountain. He did not stay here all year round. The royal court and its affiliated tribes would come here in the winter. The majestic mountains would block the wind and snow in the north for them.
The pastures in the river basin can provide winter fodder for livestock. It is also close to the Han Dynasty, and the climate is relatively warm, making it convenient for plundering southward.
After finishing the first crop of grass in spring, they will leave for other pastures and come back in late autumn or early winter. After the growth in summer and autumn, this place has become an excellent place for them to escape the cold winter and feed their livestock.
So over and over again.
Every large and prosperous tribe has at least one such wintering place. The pastures there are not allowed to be touched in summer and autumn. Many grassland tribes fight for such pastures in their wars.
The grasslands are lush and green, the rivers are running fast, and there is no shortage of food in summer and autumn. However, there are still tribes fighting for the pastures, and they are bleeding like rivers. What they are fighting for is not the grass at that time, but the place to spend the winter.
Without winter pasture, no matter how many children are born, no matter how many cattle and sheep are raised, nothing will be left when the harsh winter comes.
There are limited places suitable for wintering, and it is difficult for the nomadic population to increase significantly.
If the tribes that originally occupied the grasslands moved south and moved to the territory of the Han people, new tribes would emerge on the grasslands and grow rapidly in a short period of time. This is why.
Therefore, Liu Xiang kept the green storage feed technology firmly in his heart and did not dare to let out a single word.
Xianbei's territory is larger than that of the Han Dynasty, more than 14,000 miles from east to west, and more than 7,000 miles from north to south, but they only have 600,000 to 700,000 people, plus other barbarians, there are only more than 1 million. If they control Qing
With the accumulation of technology, the population can be increased at least ten times. With their social system where all the people are soldiers, the Han people no longer need to play the Three Kingdoms War, but the Three Kingdoms War of Resistance.
It was late spring in March. If Liu Xiang arrived a little later, he would have to search for Wang Ting's location along the river, which would be very laborious. Who knew how long the supply line would be, and the logistical pressure would wear him down.
Fortunately, they arrived in time, and only some of the settlements dispersed and moved. Wang Ting was still staying at the foot of Danhan Mountain, probably waiting for Helian's return.
"Perhaps, I can build a city for them." Liu Xiang murmured to himself. The battle outside was not completely over yet. Scattered fights and screams were still coming, but he had already begun to think about how to manage himself.
The barbarian tribe under his command.
He was thinking about the future events in his mind and did not come back to his senses for a long time, but ignored He Lian's mention until Cao Cao's arrival interrupted his thoughts.
"Congratulations, general. Congratulations, general. You first killed the Chanyu and then defeated the king's court. This is a tremendous achievement. The general's reputation is so great that it surpasses all other armies." Lao Cao was very excited and led his troops out of the fortress to chase the enemy north. This was his youth.
At that time, Ideal, although he was not the chief general, he was also a deputy general appointed by the imperial court, and his contribution was insignificant.
How happy it is to serve thousands of miles in the army, achieve meritorious service and become a noble, and live a happy life.
He glanced at the woman standing in the middle of the big tent, holding a child in her arms. She was beautiful and exotic, standing in panic and looking pitiful.
Couldn't help but take another look.
This old pervert.
Liu Xiang joked: "Don't look at it. You can't pull it out when you see it. This is Helian's Yanti, and he is holding Helian's son Qianman. I want to present it to Your Majesty. If Brother Mengde has
"What do you think, can you take me to the tent to review and criticize? I'll just pretend I didn't see it." After saying that, he pointed to a dozen women on the side of the tent: "These are the Yan clan of Helian. If Brother Mengde likes them, feel free to take them away. You choose."
The rest will be presented to His Majesty."
Cao Cao quickly waved his hand to refuse. If His Majesty finds out about this, his career will be in trouble and his life may be in danger. Liu Yicheng is still young, he speaks without restraint, and he is still not tactful enough in worldly affairs. There are some things that can only be done but not spoken.
He felt that he had benefited from Liu Yicheng, so he had to give some advice: "General, be careful with your words, and you need to guard against being slandered by villains. The general is in the limelight at this time, and a big tree attracts wind, so you should be careful with your words and deeds."
Liu Xiangxin said, I'm just trying to stop you, an old pervert. These Helian's wives and concubines must be given to Emperor Ling, so that His Majesty the Emperor can go to the West to obtain scriptures as soon as possible.
He pretended to be grateful, raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Brother Mengde, for your advice."
Cao Cao quickly returned the salute: "General, your words are serious. It is my duty to assist General Zuo." He glanced at the woman in the tent with regret. Xianbei Shanyu said, "This is the queen of a country."
People were filled with the desire to conquer, suppressed their delusional thoughts, and said: "Xianbei Chanyu's Yanti and Yan clan need to be guarded by stable people to prevent unexpected events, and the good news must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible."
"How many enemies were killed? What was the result?"
Cao Cao reported back: "Our army killed more than 5,000 enemies and captured more than 40,000 people, mostly women and children, less than 1,000 young and strong. The number of cattle and sheep is still counting, it is estimated that there are no less than 60,000, and there are not many horses, less than 3,000.
The government has not compiled statistics yet."
Wang Ting is controlled by Liu Xiang's guards, and others cannot count it. There must be a lot of treasures here, but it is a pity that they cannot capture them all.
He changed the topic and asked: "How many Han people were captured by Xianbei?"
This topic was very heavy, and Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Only more than four thousand people survived."
Xianbei was plundered almost every year, and at least more than 100,000 Han people were taken captive. I don’t know how many were taken away from other tribes, but the royal court must be the majority, and not even one out of ten was left.
Liu Xiang took a long breath, exhaled it slowly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered through gritted teeth: "All Xianbei men among the captives will be beheaded."
"Do you want to build a palace to show off your military exploits?" Cao Cao asked.
"Dig a hole and bury it. Although the Jingguan can frighten people, it can easily cause plague. This place is too close to the Han Dynasty, so we must be on guard. Go back and attack Mobei, and then build the Jingguan to show off your achievements." Liu Xiang thought for a while, and then
Summer will be here in a month, so be cautious.
Cao Cao was very moved when he heard this: "It is really desirable to invade Mobei."
"Which man wouldn't yearn for being a wolf and living in Xu, ascending to the Hanhai Sea? There will come a time."
Huo Qubing's military exploits have been the highest honor for military commanders for more than two thousand years since the Han Dynasty.
Langjuxu Mountain, the capital of Outer Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, and the climb to Hanhai say that after Huo Qubing enshrined Zen in Langjuxu Mountain, he led his army northward and reached Lake Baikal, which was called Beihai in the Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty,
This is the territory of the Ding Ling people.
"If the general goes to Langjuxu, please tell someone to tell Cao that he will follow you from the end of the world."
"I made a note of it because I was afraid that Brother Meng De would already be in power by then and it would be difficult to escape."
Now Boss Cao is still a high-spirited official of the Han Dynasty. After a few years of chaos in the world, he has suffered repeated setbacks and changed his mind. Whether he changes his mind or rises for the family, with his background and power, he will definitely become the overlord of one party. This means that
That’s all.
When Liu Xiang first arrived in the Han Dynasty, he thought about joining Boss Cao, working as an official, and spending his whole life as a wealthy and idle man. But now, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian have all become his subordinates.
The encounters in life are always embarrassing.
Times make heroes, be sincere and not be deceived by others.
