"It's better to let them suffer than to let them starve to death!" Yang Lin waved his hand, and said resolutely: "I am preparing to carry out the plan that I set up for you, so all the refugees that come in the future will be sent to the grasslands for you. If you can survive on the prairie, these refugees can also survive on the prairie. Of course, in the future, we will also gradually change the life of the herdsmen on the prairie. For example, in places where aquatic plants gather, we can build a few Settlements s, and even some towns. Let the herdsmen live in the city, gradually changing from nomadic to nomadic. "
"That's great!" Qin Zhi turned around happily and pointed to the map. "If you destroy the Urushion, you can build over a hundred castles in a one thousand mile radius under the control of the Urushion. You can control all the water plants in the area and then no longer have the fresh inferior invading."
"Hehe …" How much would a hundred castles cost? I'm afraid we have to take it slow. " Yang Lin looked at the map, his eyes involuntarily lighting up. "However, this is indeed a good idea. Only by letting these herdsmen settle down could they be managed well. "If we have enough time and money, we will use this method to gradually build castles to the north and west, all the way to the west."
"Hehe …" Hearing you say this, my blood started to boil. To be able to follow you and travel in four directions is a blessing of three lifetimes. Hehe … Maybe we can leave our names here too. " Qin Zhi laughed excitedly, then asked curiously: "Is it still so far to the west? Are they all nomadic Hu people?"
"Not necessarily." Yang Lin shook his head and laughed: "At the westernmost point of this continent, there is a country called Great Qin Nation. It is roughly as strong as us, and I'm afraid that's our true opponent. It would not be easy to occupy the entire continent. "Without a strong national power behind us, it would be impossible for us to achieve such a grand strategic goal."
In the midst of the snow and ice, a Cavalry of the Five ten thousand people s was speeding forward in the midst of the snowstorm. The heavy noise of the war horses breaking the silence of the snowy plains was heard, and on the continuous rise and fall of the mountain ridge, it was clearly seen that these Knights were dressed in black robes, carrying scimitar s on their waists, a longbow slung over their shoulders, and dozens of arrows shot out from behind their shoulders.
"Whew, whew, whew …"
More than fifty thousand Steel Cavalry galloped on the desert from afar. They were as ferocious as ghosts and ghosts from hell. They were like an iron tide rushing forward and blending into the vast sky. The rumbling sounds of the horses' hooves spread endlessly in the vast desert. Dust and fog filled the sky behind them, blocking out the dim sunlight in the sky.
"Phew …"
Suddenly, the leader of the Wuhuan cavalry who was running ahead raised her hand, and the long Cavalry could not help but slow down. The leader shouted as she stopped her horse. She quietly stood on the mountain ridge and stared at the distance with a pair of sharp eyes.
It was a tall and sturdy young Urushion, with a body like a stone tablet, two large hands like two palm-leaf fans, and a thick wolf-tooth club in his hands, making him look like a fierce general. However, his appearance was truly too ugly. Especially his pair of eyes, which emitted a dense killing intent. Normally, when a person looked at him, they would not dare to sleep alone at night.
"Young master, there's someone up ahead."
The Urushion that was addressed as Young Master wiped the snow off his face and looked ahead. Indeed, in the snow ahead, at the place where the sky and the ground were connected, there were a dozen or so black dots. However, those black dots were constantly moving forward and it was not long before they could see clearly that it was a group of Urushion riders. He smiled and said lightly, "We're on our own!"
He was Qiu Liju's fosterage, the bravest warrior there, and also the person Qiu Liju trusted the most. Zhang Chun's rebellion had dragged Qiu Liju into the water as well. He had no choice but to gather outside of Northeast China's Xu Wu City with a large group of Urushion. As for the entire Wu Huan Tribe, he had passed them down to his fosterage.
Ta Dun looked at the endless blue sky and green grass, his chest expanded along with it as he fiercely pulled his horse back with him, raising his arm high up into the air. Behind him, a hissing sound could be heard, and the fifty thousand riders suddenly stopped.
It was early winter, and white snow covered the entire area. According to the customs of the past years, this was the perfect time for the nomads in the desert to set up their horses and plunder the grain and women in the Central Plains. Those Wuhuan Warrior s looked at the fields of Youzhou and felt their blood boiling. Everyone knew that their chance to make a fortune and be happy had come.
"Reporting..." Young master, the lord has ordered, the young master will immediately lead fifty thousand cavalrymen to meet up with Xu Wu and the lord's cavalrymen. " A dozen or so Wuhuan cavalry s rushed over and reported loudly to Ta Dun. Your excellency has been waiting in the camp for a long time, please go now, Young Master. "
"Let's go!" Ta Dun waved his hand, and over fifty thousand Wuhuan cavalry s rushed forward. Receiving the order for reinforcements from his adoptive father, Ta Dun immediately gathered all of the tribe's elites and rushed to the Youzhou, covered in dust. Of course, this was also the Urushion's favorite hobby. They just liked to rob to pass this long winter.
In the middle of the Urushion's Big Account s, Qiu Liju sat at the seat of honor with a solemn face, while a few of his main generals sat beside him. He slowly raised his head, coldly swept the crowd with his gaze, and slowly said: "According to the report from the Scouting horse, after General Yang Lin's army calmed down and helped Yu, they returned to the fishing yang, and started to intensify their training. Looking at this, Yang Lin is prepared to fight a big battle with us. The reason why we gathered today is to let everyone discuss what should we do next? "
Ever since Yang Lin chased Urushion out of the Youzhou, over a million Urushion s gathered in a radius of over a thousand kilometers to the north of the Youzhou. After a few years of mutual warfare, the Urushion had become one. Qiu Liju was now the leader of the Tribal Alliance. Yang Lin probably never would have thought that it was because of him that the Urushion was united.
When mentioning Yang Lin, Qiu Liju couldn't help but frown. Having interacted with the Han people for so many years, he had not really put the Chinese Army in his eyes. However, ever since Yang Lin had arrived at the Youzhou, he had chased them out of the Youzhou. It wasn't until when Zhang Chun had rebelled did they have the chance to return to the Youzhou.
From the bottom of his heart, it was this Yang Lin that made him worry. Yang Lin massacred the entire fresh inferior Tribe, which frightened him, and the bravery of Yang Lin's subordinates, Guan Yu, Dian Wei and Xu Zhu, also made him not dare to drop his guard. After Zhang Chun's rebellion, he almost did not take a step outside of fishing yang because he did not want to meet Dian Wei and Xu Zhu.
"Father, that Yang Lin is actually the disaster of the Urushion. If I don't get rid of him quickly, I, Wu Huan, will not have a day to shine. Right now, our total troops have already reached a hundred thousand, and the Han army only have a few hundred thousand cavalrymen in the fishing yang, but how could the Chinese cavalry be a match for us, the Urushion?
The one who spoke was none other than Qiu Liju's fosterage, his eyes were cold and serene. He believed that his foster father allowed him to bring troops to the Youzhou because he was prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Han army. Ever since he had been chased out of Youzhou by Yang Lin, Urushion had also been gathering his strength. After a few years of development, he was confident that he could fight with the Han Army.
"My lord, you must not underestimate the cavalry of the Chinese. That Yang Lin relied on these cavalrymen to drive us out of the Youzhou, and they even helped him out, annihilating more than 30,000 of the East xianbei's cavalry, massacring the men of the low and fresh tribe, and snatching away more than 200,000 of their women and children. He was a killing demon king, he had recently pacified the Pitiful Moslems's rebellion. Are we sure we can win against such a strong cavalry? I think it would be better for us to leave Youzhou, and avoid directly fighting with this Demon King. "
Just then, the leader of the Bayan wolf tribe stood up with difficulty, opposed to the battle with the Chinese cavalry. She had personally experienced the might of the Chinese cavalry and never wanted to see Yang Lin's cavalry again. If not for Qiu Liju's pressure, he would not even be willing to participate in Zhang Chun's rebellion.
What was even more important was that he did not want his tribe's power to be damaged. He was very clear in his heart that once he fought with the Han army, Qiu Liju would send them to the front, greatly weakening the Bayan wolf tribe's strength, and swallow them whole.
"Yeah, yeah, that Yang Lin's cavalry is too powerful, calling him a killing demon king is not excessive at all. Do we need to fight with this killing demon king to the death?"
The leader of the Ta Wu Hu Tribe, Wu Yan, stood up and smiled to the crowd. In this kind of nomadic tribes, strength meant everything. He would not mind coming to the Youzhou to rob him, but if he was to fight to the death with the Chinese cavalry, he really didn't have the courage to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
"We have already snatched away all the food and valuables, why are we still staying in the Youzhou? Are we really prepared to help Zhang Chun become the emperor? Even if it is the Youzhou's grassland, we can't occupy it. The moment Yang Lin returns, it would be better for us to leave as soon as possible. "
"Coward!" Ta Dun suddenly stood up, staring fiercely at and the House of the Chaotic Storm. He knew that they were trying to conserve their strength and avoid a decisive battle with the Chinese cavalry. Yang Lin, the Demon King of Killings, have you forgotten how many warriors he has killed and how many women he has stolen from us? With such a deep grudge and you all not taking revenge, are you even worthy of being called Wuhuan Warrior? "
"We are brave warriors, but we are not boorish!" The Troubleshoe Tower did not even take Ta Dun seriously as they roared out loud, not showing any sign of weakness. He glared at Ta Dun with disdain and said coldly: "The Chinese have a saying, 'It's not too late to call for revenge from a gentleman'! Now that the Han is so strong, do you want us all to die? "
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" The older man, Su Puyan, stood up and advised everyone to sit down. He took a few steps inside the tent, turned around and looked at Qiu Liju, and smiled sinisterly: "Master, since we have already snatched what we should have taken, why don't we negotiate with the Han people, and ask for some food from the Han people too. It would not be in vain for us to come to Youzhou."
"Makes sense!" Even though he was unwilling, Qiu Liju still nodded his head. He knew very well that other than some of his most trusted aides, most of the leaders of the tribes were unwilling to engage in a decisive battle with the Han army. "If he were to rashly start a war with the Han army, the one who would suffer the most damage would probably be himself." "Well, then, we'll make peace with the Chinese."
