Bai Mingying was the magistrate of Ruoshui County in Qin Dynasty.

The Baiyang tribe was placed under his jurisdiction. As a county magistrate, he naturally had to come out to comfort him personally. Of course, he also needed to ask Jin Xi and others about how Bai Guangji died and the details of what happened on the way back to the east.

It is clear that this is not only an explanation of the deceased, but more importantly, it is to collect more detailed information about the Huns and the Yueshi.

Jin Xi was grateful and had endless words for Bai Mingying.

Not only her, but also the elders who were initially skeptical of the Qin State gradually eliminated their suspicions and took the initiative to tell the Qin people about the Huns.

In the past ten days, during the process of settling the Aries tribe, the followers around Bai Mingying recorded more than twenty volumes of texts. The bamboo slips were piled up, and the slips could fill half the room. These things were then quickly sent to

It was transferred to Chang'an and handed over to the Department of Foreign Military Intelligence, which Yan Le was in charge of, for analysis and preservation.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.

This is the core essence of Sun Wuzi's art of war. When Li Yuan sent Bai Guangji to contact the Aries Guifang tribe, his purpose was to try to understand and master the details of the Huns, which were impossible for people who did not live in the northern wilderness to know.

The pain slowly healed as time passed. No matter what, Jin Xi and her Aries tribe rested and recuperated by the weak water. As time went by, they would slowly interact with the Qiang and Qin people here.

People merged together and gradually became a force supporting the Qin State.

Ghost side Aries.

This name will also be slowly forgotten. The only thing that will not be forgotten is the people and things on this journey back east, including Bai Guangji and those unknown Hexi Qiang and Aries tribe warriors.

Although their bones were buried in the Gobi desert and they were unable to return to their homeland in the end, their deeds will be recorded on the parchments of the Aries Tribe. As long as the tribe exists, their heroic deeds will also be mentioned by generations of descendants.

And, admiration. And this is the power of ethnic spirit.

March.

The steps of spring are long overdue.

While mosquitoes and flies are breeding in Lingnan and vegetation is growing wildly, Hexi and the Western Regions are still experiencing the raging cold weather of the Great Northwest. For the nomadic people who make a living by grazing, this winter is particularly difficult.

Qin and the Xiongnu officially broke apart, and the two sides were at war with each other. Following Li Yuan's order, the Qin army on the border line from Hexi to Yanbei deployed heavy troops on the border line of more than 5,000 miles, and each army

When the Qin army faced the Huns, they all seemed to have a deep hatred.

What's more serious is that the Qin State not only strictly sealed the border, but the Qin army also penetrated deep into the hinterland of the grassland from time to time to raid the Xiongnu tribes.

You know, in the past, at the end of winter and early spring, the Huns would gather their tribes and gather to go south!

Go south!

Looting the cattle, sheep, wealth, and population of the southerners was sufficient for the tribe to lose strength in one winter. This has always been the survival rule for the Xiongnu tribe to survive.

But this year, the situation suddenly reversed, and the Qin army took the initiative to attack. Several Qin army troops marched northward from the Great Wall without interruption, making the Xiongnu tribes grazing not far from the Qin border miserable.

Compared to the Huns in Mobei, these southern Huns had more frequent contact with the Qin State, which made them more cautious when dealing with the Qin people.

The leaders and chiefs of the Southern Xiongnu tribe were all puzzled. Qin's change of attitude made them feel strange. Although the relationship between the two countries has been at odds over the years, and the two sides have fought many wars, large and small, it seems that this

It’s not even to the point where the exchange of items is not strictly prohibited.

However, they soon got the news.

The reason is that the Great Chanyu Maodun united with the Great Yuezhi people to encircle and annihilate the Baiyang tribe in the Altai Mountains. This news has spread on the grassland, and another news that followed is that during this war, it is said that

It is said that the Dayue clan killed a close general of Li Yuan, the Shenwu King of Qin.

This was nothing. Enmity between the Yueshi people and Qin was what the Huns most wanted to see. But then the Great Chanyu took the Qin general's head from the Yuezhi people and used it as a drowning

device use.

Altai Shandong.

The tent of the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu.

Hundreds of tents, large and small, gathered on the shores of Khovd Lake. This small lake with a small radius in the inland area is now the royal tent of the new Youxian King Huyanxie.

In the battle of Qin's attack on Hexi, the Zhelan tribe, the largest tribe in Yanzhi Mountain, was completely wiped out. All the elites from the tribe, such as Zhelan Songhua and Zhelan Lei, were killed in the battle. In that battle, only Hu was the lucky one to escape with his life.

Yanxie and his tribe. In the past two years, Hu Yanxie and his tribe have been huddled on the shore of Khovd Lake to recharge their batteries, and their lives have been peaceful.

From King Youri Zhu to King Youxian, Hu Yanxie’s original dream finally came true. Although all this was based on a great defeat, no matter what, south of the Altai Mountains, north of the Hexi Corridor, and Hetao

In this area west of the plain, he Huyan tribe has the final say.

Even the great Chanyu Maodun had to inform him of Huyanxie when he passed by this grassland. Of course, given Maodun's tyranny, it was the same whether he agreed with Huyanxie or not.

The Qin State has now taken a series of countermeasures, which has greatly increased the pressure on tribes like the Huyan tribe who rely on barter with the Qin State to survive. They are without food, without the much-needed copper materials on the grassland, and without technology.

Exquisite craftsmen, why should they fight against the barbarian tribes further north?

Hundreds of thousands of tribesmen consume so much food every day, even if they only eat one meal a day, it is not enough to make up for the waste.

The new grass tips are still hiding under the snow and frozen soil and have not been produced. After a winter of eating hay, the cattle and sheep have become extremely thin. If there is no fresh forage supply, the Huns will

Groups of people starved to death due to hunger, and the first to die were the underage children.

In the past two years, the number of newborn children in the Huyan tribe has reached more than 2,700, of which more than 2,000 are boys. This makes Huyanxie very happy. With these future successors, the Huyan tribe

It is possible to develop and grow. But now, an unprecedented crisis has struck.

"Xian Wang, the people of Qin are sealing the blockade tightly. I wonder if we can mobilize some fodder and copper materials. If this continues, our army will be scattered?" In the king's tent, Hu Yanxie was surrounded by several people.

The leaders and principals of the dependent tribes all begged with sad faces.

"You ask me for it, who should I ask for, what the hell is this? It's not good to use someone else's drowning weapon, but you have to use the Qin people's?" Hu Yanxie, King Youxian, held a gold-rimmed weapon in one hand.

He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, his body swaying and he complained to the tenants.

"Wise King, if you stop talking, what will happen if people listen to it?" Upon hearing Hu Yanxie's words, a close aide's expression changed and he quickly admonished him.

"What am I afraid of? I've just said what I said today. If someone dares to plot against me behind my back, then don't blame the Huyan tribe for not respecting brotherhood." Hu Yanxie blushed and shouted angrily.

"The wise king is drunk and talking nonsense. Everyone, please step aside. We will discuss the matter in a few days." Several close aides, Qian Chang and Baichang, saw that Hu Yanxie was talking nonsense and waved their hands quickly.

Hu Yanxie went crazy while drinking, and while talking nonsense, he was talking about the cruel survival game between tribes in the grassland. Hundreds of tribes, under the pressure of competition for survival, were killing each other, and some weak tribes were like white sheep.

The fate of the tribe was also annexed. If the Huyan tribe wanted to survive, there was only one way left, and that was to be tied to Mao Dun's chariot and fight with his banner all the way.

Until all the blood of the tribe is drained, until the flag of the Huyan tribe no longer exists. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Huns not only unified the grassland, but also occupied the Western Region and destroyed the Qin State, but

Is this possible?

Others may think so, but Hu Yanxie never thinks so.

After witnessing the power of the Qin army in the Battle of Hexi, Hu Yanxie consciously avoided a direct confrontation with the Qin army. He was really afraid.

what to do?

Hu Yanxie was in depression and could only get himself drunk again and again. Only when he was drunk did he feel that he could continue to live like this day by day. Sometimes, he even felt that it would be better to follow Zhelan Songhua.
