The great man will live forever

Chapter 78 The Battle of Mobei (Seven Forever Forward)

Lake Baikal, located in the Siberian region of the White Bear Empire, is one of the deepest lakes in the world and one of the natural wonders that nature has given us.

On the surface of Lake Baikal, the water shows a deep blue color, shining like a gem
When the sun shines on the lake, the lake sparkles with golden light, like countless diamonds jumping.

The lake is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, which create a beautiful contrast with the lake surface.Whenever the lake recedes, the beaches and rocks exposed at the bottom of the lake add more layers and diversity to the lake.

In addition, there are many drifting ice floating on the surface of Lake Baikal.These drifting ice cover the entire lake in winter, forming a wonder of a frozen world.

In spring, the ice drifts freely on the lake, blending with the water to form a flowing picture.

During the Western Han Dynasty, this place was called Hanhai. Huo Qubing and Liu Han chased it here, which indicated that this place belonged to China, and it was the limit that the northern territory of China could reach.

They drank from the Hanhai Sea, sealed the wolf in Xu, crossed the great river to the west, and prayed for the alliance among the counties. They did it.

"I want to keep this place. Although the Han people have a lot of land, they don't have an extra inch. They still have to fight and conquer a huge territory." Looking at the vast lake, Liu Han was full of passion.

This is the vast sea, Lake Baikal in later generations. Its average depth is 730 meters, and the deepest point is 1637 meters. This is very deep.

By comparison, you can see that the average depth of the Sea of ​​Azov is only 8 meters, and the deepest depth is only 14 meters. Many ships dare not drive in.

The average water depth of the Bohai Sea is 18 meters, with the deepest point being 85 meters. The average water depth of the Beibu Gulf is only 42 meters...

You can imagine how deep it is. What's even more frightening is that the fresh water storage capacity of the vast sea exceeds 23.6 trillion cubic meters. The combined water volume of all the rivers and lakes in China is only one-eighth of that.

Even if the world's population exceeds 80 billion, they will still be able to drink it for 30 years.

It can be said that it is the deepest, oldest and largest lake in the world. It contains rich freshwater resources and is of great value in biological resources and scientific research.

In the past, it belonged to China because Champion Hou and Liu Han fought here.

They came, they saw, they conquered.

"From now on, this place belongs to the big man!"

Huo Qubing said, planting his flag on the edge of the vast sea.

"Is there anyone who knows how to fish? Let's see if there are any fishing nets among the Huns' captures? Tell the army to fish and hunt tonight and eat fish!"

The water quality in Hanhai Lake is very high, and it has naturally become a good place for many fish species and microorganisms to live and reproduce. The natural resources are rich and colorful.

According to later statistical analysis, Lake Baikal contains more than 600 kinds of aquatic flowers and more than 1200 kinds of aquatic organisms, including various fish, shellfish, etc. It can catch 150 million tons of fish every year, equivalent to 30 billion catties.

As soon as Liu Han lowered his head, he could see groups of fish. He felt that he could catch a fish with just a fork. Don't worry about the refraction of light, visual errors, etc. There were so many fish that they were stacked on top of each other. separated.

"Master Hou, I'm good at this. My hometown is by the river." The bald Qiang of the three gatekeepers stood up.

Liu Han was a little surprised. Why don't you learn to hunt bears?He actually knew how to fish. Then he thought about it, he wasn't really bald and strong, it was just his bad taste that was imposed on him.

"Okay, you will lead everyone to fish."

Liu Han patted his shoulder, then looked at Huo Qubing, and the two of them smiled knowingly.

"Go hunting?"

"let's go!"

Liu Han shouted, "Those who hunt the most and fish the most will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold if they return to Chang'an."

"Thank you General!"

There were shouts and shouts, so most of the army went fishing, and thousands of people followed Huo Qubing and Liu Han to hunt.

Other common animals they found in the forests and mountains around Lake Baikal included bears, elk, reindeer, lynx, wild boar...

Without experiencing any pollution, Lake Baikal was so beautiful more than 2000 years ago.

"General, bear!" A soldier with sharp eyes discovered the brown bear hiding in the woods.

Its body is muscular, with bulging muscles on its shoulders and back and neck.The bulging muscles on the backs of their shoulders make their forearms very powerful, and the tips of their front paws are very long.

According to Liu Han's rough estimation, the body length of this brown bear is about 2 meters, the tail length is 6.2 centimeters, and the shoulder height is about 1.4 meters. It is an adult brown bear, and its weight is estimated to be 400 kilograms.

Compared with their huge heads, their ears are quite small, and those small ears can only be vaguely visible, which is a bit cute.

But cuteness has to be eaten, and who made him meet the strongest hunting team of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing didn't talk nonsense, he drew his bow and arrow, took aim, and fired.
There was only a sound of "咻!", and the arrow shot directly into the big brown bear's eye like a meteor.

"Ho! Roar!"

The brown bear roared angrily, with blood splattering everywhere. It slapped the arrow inserted into its eye with its hand. With a "pop!" sound, it broke the arrow. When it saw the people in the distance, it slapped its chest and rushed towards the crowd. "Phew!" Huo Qubing shot another arrow, but it missed. He originally aimed at the other eye, but because the brown bear was running at high speed, he shot it in the head.

"Phew!" Liu Han also shot an arrow, hitting the brown bear's belly.

"Ow!"

The brown bear felt something was wrong, turned around and ran away.
"Chase!"

Liu Han and Huo Qubing were riding horses, chasing and shooting arrows...

It was getting dark, and there were thousands of bonfires lit by the lake. The army gathered around the fire and ate barbecue. Liu Han was chewing on a bear paw, and his mouth was full of oil.

"It's too oily. This is my first time eating bear. The taste is average and there are too few seasonings. Otherwise, it would be much better."

Huo Qubing smiled, "It would be good to eat some. It's much better than in the desert. You stole several of my prey."

"Fight more and eat more. You have to save food when you go back."

"Ok!"

"That little bear, do you really want to raise it? Is it mature enough to raise it?" Huo Qubing was a little confused when he looked at the two little brown bears sleeping soundly in the blanket in the distance.

"If you cultivate it well, everything will have spirit."

Liu Han knew that brown bears are very humane.

"If it has human nature, and you just killed someone's parents, won't it want to seek revenge from you when it grows up?"

"I'm just responsible for eating. Anyway, you were the one who shot him to death in the end."

Liu Han spread his hands to show that he was innocent, and then continued to eat the bear's paw.

"You, you, you have a good plan. I will be the bad guy, and you will be the good guy. What are you raising them for? Isn't it just for eating?"

Huo Qubing also took the bear's paw and started to chew it. He didn't seem to have the demeanor of a general. In front of dry rice, all living beings are equal.

"I can't bear to eat anything. I'll take it with me when I go to war. It's so majestic. It can be used as a mount. Others ride horses, but I ride a bear. How nice."

This is really no joke. Domestic brown bears in later generations were very humane, and there was even a brown bear with a military rank. His name was Wo Tie, and his statue still stands in Edinburgh Zoo.

This extraordinary brown bear is connected with the fate of an army during World War II and made great contributions.

He has a docile personality and is a well-deserved wrestling champion in the army. He can transport ammunition, smoke and drink, and those who didn't know better thought he was a sperm.

"Can it be used on the battlefield?" Huo Qubing was a little surprised.

"It can do horses, so why can't it? When the time comes, it will put on armor and hold a spear, and it will simply sweep through thousands of armies. It is said that when Chi You and Huang Di fought, Chi You's mount was an iron-eating beast."

"Iron-eating beast?"

Seeing Huo Qubing's confusion, Liu Han explained, "The iron-eating beast lives in Sichuan. Its fur is black and white. Its body shape and appearance are similar to those of a brown bear. In some places, it is also called a giant panda. Its combat power may not be as good as that of a brown bear. I have no idea. Let’s see if we can get one to raise as well.”

"Where do you get all these weird ideas?"

Liu Han was stunned for a moment, then said jokingly: "I also have a house, power, a feudal kingdom, beauties, brothers, and fine wine. I have everything I want. I'm bored, why don't I find something to do to kill my time? "

Huo Qubing nodded, "That's true!"

"This place is really good. Unfortunately, it is easy to conquer but difficult to hold. If we can hold it, will future generations be able to hold it?"

Liu Han looked around and suddenly felt a little lonely. At its peak, China's land area was 1372 million square kilometers. At that time, Lake Baikal was ours, the Aral Sea was ours, and Li Bai's hometown Lake Balkhash was also ours...

960 million square kilometers. Compared with the peak period, it is more than one missing Song Dynasty. You must know that the land area of ​​the Song Dynasty is only about 280 million square kilometers.

Huo Qubing smiled and said, "If we can't hold on, then we'll fight again."

Liu Han was silent. If he fought again, it would usually be an invasion. The pattern had already been formed. He could only remember those pains, in his mind, in his blood, and deep in his soul. But he could not tell Huo Qubing these things.

He suddenly thought of a sentence: It would be better to suffer the infamy of aggression in one lifetime than to let future generations enjoy happiness. This is called a crime in the present, but a merit in the future.

"We fight, the bigger the better, so that future generations will have endless wealth, and we will fight to the horizon and the end of the sea!"

"Okay! Keep fighting and build a big territory for your descendants!" The two looked at each other and smiled. The moon rose to the center of the sky, illuminating the lake, which was extremely beautiful.

Or when the long smoke disappears, the bright moon shines thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps into gold, and the silent shadow sinks into the jade...

All they need is fishermen's songs to answer each other's questions, but they have a bonfire, enthusiasm and a future!
