Chapter 546: The Squandering of the Sanctuary [Please subscribe*Please vote]

It was precisely this erroneous information conveyed by the Xiutu Royal Court that caused King Hunxie to ignore his hometown, the Weiyuan Royal Court.

Because although he encountered obstruction and following of Meng Tian, ​​he found that Meng Tian had only 100,000 troops, and the intelligence sent back by Juyan Ze showed that there were 200,000 troops there.

Therefore, King Hunxie had no worries because there were no soldiers available in Bingzhou.

Therefore, when Meng Wu led his army to Weiyuan, the entire Hunxie royal court was confused.

The royal family members in the royal court thought that the army had returned victoriously, and they took the initiative to run out of the royal court to see it.

After all, except for the direct lineage and standing army in Bingzhou that had unified military uniforms and armor, the other armies were temporary signs and looked no different from the Xiongnu army.

Therefore, the Hunxie royal court, which could have taken advantage of the fork in the road to defend itself, did not even make any preparations for defense, and openly went out of the city to welcome the butchers from Bingzhou.

"It went so smoothly!" Meng Wu knew that he was being attacked by surprise.

But it was expected that even a sneak attack would encounter stubborn resistance.

That's the clan's royal court. How is it possible that there's no resistance at all?

As a result, the enemy not only did not resist, but even lined the streets to welcome us.

This made Meng Wu a little confused.

However, despite his doubts, he did not hesitate at all when he took the knife.

Weiyuan was just one of their targets. Their real goal was to occupy Weiyuan and then attack Jiuquan and Jiayuguan with Bingzhou's 6,000 cavalry.

Jiayu Pass was facing a large army of Luo soldiers from Yumen Pass, but Jiuquan was behind Jiayu Pass.

You don't need to go through Jiayuguan to get from Weiyuan to Jiuquan.

Therefore, after capturing the court of King Hunxie in Weiyuan, Meng Wu left 10,000 people to garrison there. After collecting the spoils and prisoners, he quickly sent a message to the central army and continued to march towards Jiuquan with the main army.

Upon receiving the news, Luo Bing immediately led the army sent by Han Xin to attack the pass, attracting the attention of the Jiuquan defenders and creating an opportunity for Meng Wu to launch a surprise attack.

As for the merit of capturing the city, at his level, it was already the highest level he could be promoted to, and military merit was just the icing on the cake.

"Is Meng Tian crazy?"

Juyanze battlefield.

King Hunxie was totally confused. From the time they sent out their troops from Bingzhou until now, they seemed to be unlucky. In such a vast desert, with such a large territory, they actually ran into Meng Tian's army head-on.

Aren't you guys lost in this desert with no landmarks or reference points?

King Hunxie really wanted to ask.

Even a race like them who have lived in the desert for hundreds of years often get lost in the desert.

How could you find us so accurately?

Meng Tian has something to say about this.

They really had no reference points and were wandering around like headless flies, but they couldn't resist someone taking the initiative to guide them.

He really didn't follow King Hunxie on purpose, but apart from King Hunxie's army, they really didn't know where to go.

Although the map was created, it was not created until later, after the army was fully deployed.

They just followed the army of King Hunxie, and then slowly expanded the battlefield along the route of King Hunxie's army.

Otherwise it would be difficult for him to carry out his work.

I can only say that God is blessing me and God is forcing the food into my mouth.

"A thousand-mile-long marsh, a three-thousand-mile-long weak water, such land is not ours?"

Li Ren was getting angrier and angrier as he thought about counting grasshoppers and feeding mosquitoes in the Juyan Lake swamp.

They had arrived at Juyan Lake a long time ago, but in order to attract Dayuezhi and King Hunxie, they had not occupied it completely.

Of the three lakes in Juyan, they only occupied two, leaving one for Dayuezhi and King Hunye.

But it was because of the occupation of two of them that Li Ren and the soldiers of Bingzhou were so angry. After learning how to plant, the grassland soldiers who originally did not know how to farm knew what soil fertility was and what spring ploughing and autumn harvest meant. When they looked at the naturally fertile land under their feet, they became angry.

It is a pity that the holy place is wasting natural resources!
Even saints feel sad, so is there anything wrong with us getting angry?

What is weak water?

The water was too weak to support boats, so they had to use sheepskin bags as a means of ferrying.

But this also means that there will be many shallows in the river.

Shallow water means it is suitable for planting.

At worst, we can dig up the river mud to open up fields.

River sand is also an excellent tool for building cities.

Therefore, the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi occupied the Juyan Lake and the Ruoshui River and used them as pastures, squandering natural resources and seeking their own death.

It is a pity to waste the holy place's natural resources.

The Book of Shangshu Wucheng said that the King of Shang was unjust and wasted natural resources...

As for the rest, Li Ren couldn't remember, but the Shang Dynasty perished because of this incident.

Therefore, the fact that the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi had ways to seek death was not just what he said, but was proven by history.

He has a legitimate reason for doing this.

Therefore, in the manifesto, Li Ren did not say anything more about the attack on their comrades and brothers because of the Huns.

Instead, it is a waste of resources and just occupying the toilet without doing anything!
As an agricultural civilization, food and population are always the most critical materials.

However, the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi occupied fertile lands and rivers such as Juyan Lake and Ruoshui, but did not produce or generate grain. They deserve to die!

The obsession with food was ingrained in their bones, so they didn't need Li Ren to encourage them. When the indigenous people in the Juyanze and Ruoshui areas heard Li Ren's big promises, they all went crazy.

It turns out that they can also produce food and live a prosperous life.

The results of it?
King Hunxie attacked them, and Dayuezhi also wanted to massacre them.

They were ravaged and occupied by the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi, and were forced to raise horses for the royal court.

Originally they thought this was the supreme honor, but now in comparison, they realize that they are being treated as horse and shepherds, not as human beings at all.

Bingzhou is different. Bingzhou will teach them how to grow crops and teach them that they don’t need to live by moving around with water and grass. They will also be able to have enough food and drink, and no one in the tribe will freeze to death or starve to death.

So, they were cheated.

The Xiongnu and the Dayuezhi never treated them as human beings, otherwise why didn't anyone come to teach them how to grow crops and bring them grain seeds?

"There are three thousand rivers, but I only take one scoop."

"Juyan Lake and Ruoshui are gifts from heaven to you. Bingzhou is only here to teach you how to use them properly, not to occupy or rob them."

"Here, you can live and work in peace and contentment. With your own hands and hard work, you can lead a prosperous life."

"Everyone has clothes to wear, food to eat, and money to spend!"

“So, arise, you who do not want to be slaves.”

"Use your flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall."

"Not for defending against the enemy, but for ourselves. This is the Great Wall of your dreams. Everything you want can be realized."

"My compatriots, you are also descendants of Yan and Huang. Why do you want to submit to foreign races?"

"Look at your skin color, your eyes, you are the same as us."

"Why do you want to allow those blue-eyed, green-eyed, and even hair-colored Great Yuezhi to invade and ravage you?"

After following Yan Yan for a long time, Li Ren also learned a lot of skills in deceiving and making empty promises.
