Chapter 679 Ambition
The flames are burning like waves, like a tide rushing towards the Jinshan Mountains in the distance.

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

In autumn, everything is golden.

In an instant, a fire ignited on the mountainside.

Countless birds sprang up from the forest, circling in the sky, and let out a long cry.

A gazelle with flames all over its body stumbled out of the mountain fire, and within a few steps, it fell down in front of Yang Yi's war horse.

The heat wave was rolling, and the black smoke shot straight into the sky.

The war horse snorted anxiously.

"This is the last grassland near Jinshan Mountain. If Zhilianluo and Luo Rilu can't defend it, they can only escape to the extreme 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 divisions have been severely damaged by our army, there are still more than [-] cavalry, and they will never give up this fertile land." Xia Houxu drove the horses and walked to Yang Yi's side.

"One hundred thousand cavalrymen fear us like tigers, and the Xianbei people are all morons!" Li Xiang said disdainfully.

After Yang Yi's five thousand elite riders entered the Moxi Grassland, the Xianbei people didn't take it seriously at first.

Randomly photographed [-] cavalry to encircle and suppress.

But it was destroyed by the five thousand Longxiang Battalion in one battle.

In order to frighten the tribes in Moxi, the heads were piled up into Jingguan.

Although it was the first time for the four of them to lead the army, there were many old men in the army who had followed Yang Zheng from Xiping.

There is Jiang Faye supporting him in the rear.

There is Yin Chun ahead to pave the way for them.

Newborn Niu Dou is not afraid of tigers. The four of them are all 8000 or [-] years old. They are brave and diligent. They rode on the head of Moxi Xianbei and beat them several times. They beheaded [-] people and captured more than [-] people. Only then did Moxi Xianbei realize who was coming. bad.

Playing the previous routine again, avoiding and not fighting.

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

Directly cut off children and grandchildren for Moxi Xianbei.

The Xianbei people have reached the point of no return.

Unless you really fled far to the far north and went to compete with the Jiankun people for land.

"Moxi Xianbei has dominated the Western Regions in the past few years, and all the countries have paid tribute. They are living so happily, how can they go to the bitter cold place in the extreme north again? In my opinion, there is no movement for such a long time, it must be accumulating strength , Prepare for a decisive battle!" Yang Yi said in a deep voice.

Influenced by his mother Jiang Alian, Yang Yi had a very high reputation among the Qiang people at a young age.

For the Qiang cavalry who followed, everyone was willing to die for him.

Small victories after game kept piling up his prestige.

"That's great, save us going to find them again!" Li Xiang spat.

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

Xia Houxu said warmly: "Our army has come from afar, so don't underestimate the enemy."

The laws of the state of Qin and the military are strict, and those who make meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished.

If not done well, the military career of several people may come to an end here.

In the past few years, the power of the scholars has continued to rise, staring at the generals with piercing eyes, impeaching whoever makes a mistake.

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

"Father Wang always said, be careful when making a ten-thousand-year ship, and it is always right to be cautious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen horsemen rushing from the south.

These cavalry were not from the Longxiang Camp, but from the Fusi of Luntai Town. Several of them had high noses and deep eyes, and they were obviously barbarians from the Western Regions.

"What happened?" Yang Yi went up to meet him.

"General, Zhilianluo and Luo Rilu have united with Wusun, Qiuci, Shule, Kangju and other seven countries with a combined force of 17. They want to attack our Western Region Changshi's Mansion. Yin Dudu asked the general to go south to Gaochang for temporary shelter."

"17 people!" Li Xiang screamed excitedly.

"Exactly, the Western Regions have been bitterly cold in recent years. If the Xianbei people want to live through the cold winter, they can only attack me in 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.

Originally, there were 30 million string control people and 70 million herdsmen in the two parts, but in recent years, they have become weaker and weaker due to continuous attacks by the Qin State, as well as natural and man-made disasters.

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

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

The large-scale alliance of various countries this time is to take revenge on the defeat of Qin State a few years ago, and to covet the wealth of Gaochang.

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

After the Qin State established Xizhou, it adopted the system of prefectures and counties and organized households for Qimin, which attracted a large number of tribes from the Western Regions to join them.

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

Coupled with Luoyang Sima Yan's instigation, these people are ready to move again.

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

Countries such as Wusun and Khotan have always been close to the Central Plains.

Although Yang Zheng sent a large number of Xuan Yilangs to infiltrate the countries in the Western Regions, the time was short and he did not enter the core circles of power in each country, and only publicized the influence of Great Qin among the people.

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

Yin Chun made it clear that he was afraid that something might happen to Yang Yi and asked them to go back to Gaochang.

But Yang Yi obviously didn't think so.

The cavalry is more useful if they stay outside. When they return to Gaochang, can they be used as defenders?

Their eyes collided with the three brothers, and all three shook their heads.

"Go back and tell Dudu Yin that we will not go to Gaochang, and stay on the grassland, which is safer than Gaochang."

Jin Yiwei was taken aback for a moment, Yang Yi had a noble status, and they, the messengers, did not have the right to make decisions, "Your subordinates obey the order!"

"Come here, serve some spirits and meat soup to the brothers of the Zhenfu Division." Although Yang Yi has a noble status, Yang Zheng is not pampered. He grew up in the youth camp since he was a child, has more contacts with people, and has a more down-to-earth personality. , generous.

Although it has just entered autumn, the wind in Moxi is already biting the bone.

Jin Yiwei had driven such a long way and needed to warm their stomachs and bodies.

"Thank you, General!" The eyes of several people were full of gratitude.

After the soldiers led them down, Yang Yi said with a smile: "This battle in the Western Regions, isn't it a great opportunity for me to wait for my brothers to make contributions?"

Li Xiang and Zhao Xiong laughed loudly.

Xia Houxu asked: "Could it be that my brother already has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Do you remember what your father said when you went out to fight?" Yang Yi asked back.

Li Xiang and Zhao Xiong looked at each other in dismay. When they went out to fight, they only cared about being happy, and their minds were full of how to kill people. They listened to King Qin's words, but they didn't take it to heart.

Xia Houxu's eyes lit up, "Open up the territory for Great Qin!"

"That's right! These disturbances in the Western Regions were all caused by the Xianbei people uniting with Wusun, and then threatening small countries such as Qiuci, Shule, and Khotan. Going down to Wusun will cut off the Xianbei people's retreat!" Yang Yi did not learn in vain in the youth camp in the past few years, and was forced to recite various military books by Yang Zheng.

Now is the time to make a lot of money.

Yang Yi drew on the sand with a horsewhip, presenting the outline of the Western Regions with a few strokes.

"Wusun is in the north of Tianshan Mountain, south of Yibohai (now Lake Balkhash). If you occupy this place, you can control Moxi, suppress the south of Tianshan Mountain, and covet the west of Congling Mountain!"

Hissed a few times.

Yang Yi's three friends were all stunned.

Wusun is not a small country, and it used to be rich under the support of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Tang's violators of strong men will be punished even if they are far away, and they fought in Wusun.

After this battle is over, the Western Regions that are about to move will be at peace.

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

Over the past few years, it has been oppressed by the newly-rising Xianbei people, and the northern land has become a pasture for the Xianbei people.

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

The Kangju people in the west are also constantly encroaching on their territory.
