Chapter 645: Using the same trick against the opponent, Bingzhou never makes sense [Please subscribe*Please vote for the monthly ticket]

Thinking of this, Wei Ju's appetite improved.

Moreover, the prison had everything he needed and was quiet, so Qin could provide him with whatever he wanted.

He also had the chance to calm down and think about how the navy, infantry and cavalry should cooperate, and to come up with a new and effective set of tactics.

"When I get out, that will be the day when all the famous generals in the world will tremble in joy!" Wei Ju shouted happily.

But the people who were monitoring him were all deaf, so no one could hear him no matter how loud he shouted.
-
Bingzhou, Beiye Royal City.

The Vermillion Bird slowly landed at the city gate.

Yan Yan stood alone at the city gate, quietly waiting for Shao Siming and Nong Yu to return.

"Your Majesty, I am glad that I have fulfilled your mission!" Nanyue stepped forward and bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work on the journey. Let's talk about it when we get back!" Yan Yan smiled and nodded, then took the two of them on the carriage back to the palace.

"Is the situation in Danlin very serious?" Nong Yu asked doubtfully.

In recent years, the Donghu and the Xiongnu have frequently invaded the border, especially after Bingzhou became prosperous, the Hu people would invade the border every winter.

This meant that Bingzhou moved the border where the Hu people had invaded thousands of miles northward, thus ensuring the safety of the people in the Central Plains.

However, in the past, when the Hu people invaded the border, the three kingdoms in the northern border of the Central Plains all had the Great Wall to rely on to stop the Hu people from moving south, but now Bingzhou no longer has the Great Wall to rely on.

Therefore, Bingzhou's approach to dealing with the southward migration of the Hu people was also bloody, using violence to fight violence.

If the Hu people go south to occupy a village or town in Bingzhou and kill one citizen of Bingzhou, Bingzhou will return the favor tenfold, destroy ten villages and ten towns, and massacre ten people.

Also because of the violence in Bingzhou, although there were Hu people moving south every year, in addition to looting at the beginning, they also turned to seeking refuge.

After all, Bingzhou treats those who come to seek refuge favorably. As long as they are willing to join Bingzhou, Bingzhou will provide them with relief food, jobs and accommodation, so that they no longer have to struggle to survive.

Therefore, except for some large tribes that would rely on their strong military forces to invade Bingzhou and plunder food and population, those small tribes could only watch their people flow into Bingzhou.

As for the big tribes, few of them dared to ask Bingzhou for help, but they were more likely to ask other tribes for help.

After all, they don't need to be stronger than Bingzhou, they just need to be stronger than other nearby tribes.

However, in this way, the combat effectiveness of the tribes that dare to invade Bingzhou will be stronger.

It's like a lone wolf in the wild is more dangerous than a pack of wolves.

"It was not the Donghu who invaded, but Maodun!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Huns?" Nong Yu was a little surprised.

"Well, Maodun had his soldiers disguised as Donghu soldiers to attack Danlin, and led the Danlin defenders to the Donghu army," Yan Yan explained with a smile.

"So, this time, we are going to take action against the Huns?" Nong Yu asked again.

"No, it's Donghu!" Yan Yan explained meaningfully, "The only army that can appear between Danlin City and Donghu is Donghu, except for Bingzhou."

"It is impossible for Bingzhou to attack itself, so the ones attacking Danlin City can only be Donghu!"

"But didn't Your Majesty say that those who attacked Danlin were under Maodun's command?" Nong Yu was a little confused.

"Yes, but why should I admit that they are the Huns?" Yan Yan asked with a smile, "We have driven the Huns to the snowy forests and plains to eat snow, so what's left?"

"So, if the Donghu cannot prove that this army is not theirs, then they will have to bear the wrath of Bingzhou!" Nanyue understood, but was a little confused, "Won't this just fall into Maodun's trap?"

"So what? Maodun just wanted to verify whether Bingzhou still has the same bloodiness and ferocity after a few years of recuperation."

"In this case, I will let him know what the gap is!"

Yan Yan spoke with confidence, even arrogance, looking down on the world.

When the State of Zhao besieged the Beiye royal court, they had no choice but to release Maodun back to the Xiongnu royal court.

Later, because Bingzhou had to deal with Zhao State, and the Huns were a nomadic people who ran around everywhere, Bingzhou finally did not take any action against the Huns.

But not taking action does not mean that Maodun can completely control the entire Xiongnu.

Until now, Maodun could only control the Xiongnu royal court and several surrounding tribes, with a total population of less than 100,000.

As for other Xiongnu tribes and large territories, they all accepted the fact of being under the leadership of Bingzhou under the management of administrative officials sent by Bingzhou. The only difference was the name.

Therefore, if Maodun really dared to ascend a high place and order the Huns to fight against Bingzhou in the name of the Great Khan of the Huns' royal court, the first to counterattack him would not be Bingzhou, but the leaders of the major tribes of the Huns themselves.

People are waiting to be recruited, but you want to overthrow Bingzhou. It is tantamount to destroying their jobs. Who will obey you?
Maodun was also very aware of this, and even worried that one day he would wake up and be kidnapped by his own men and taken to the Beiye Royal City, so Maodun moved the royal court further north, into the forest and snow.

This time, Maodun came out because he felt that after going through the trials of wind and snow, his soldiers could fight against tigers, leopards and bears and became stronger, so he wanted to test Bingzhou's strength.

It would be even better if Bingzhou and Donghu could fight each other. He could also take the opportunity to regain some of the lost land and steal some Donghu to recover his health.

"So, this time I have summoned the King of Donghu and asked him to hand over the army that attacked Danlin City and the three hundred miles of land to the east of Danlin City!" Yan Yan continued.

"Will the King of Donghu agree?" Nanyue hesitated.

The people of the grassland always do what they are told and rarely think of bargaining or weighing the pros and cons.

"Of course I didn't agree, so I have already mobilized 30,000 blood cavalry to station them in Danlin City. We can start the war as soon as the food and supplies arrive!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

“……”Nong Yu was silent.

Bingzhou's tactics are very different from those in the Central Plains. The Central Plains emphasizes sending food and fodder before troops move.

As a result, Bingzhou did the exact opposite.

However, the speed of transporting grain and grass in Bingzhou was envied by other princes.

The local people had great trust in the imperial court and were willing to contribute their reserve grain to support the army first. They would only receive more grain from the government after the army's food and supplies arrived.

Borrowing grain from the people in war-torn areas is something the princes dare not even think about. If it were the princes in the Central Plains, it would probably cause riots.

But this is a very common thing in Bingzhou. People are used to it and are even willing to borrow more.

Just because after the army's food and fodder arrived, they were able to get more food back than they had lent.

The credibility of the Bingzhou court is unmatched by any other princes.

"Danlin City is still going to go to war, right?" Nanyue sighed.

After so many years of recuperation, they almost thought that the war was gone forever.

"This is inevitable. If our generation doesn't fight, our descendants will. So before I pass away, I will eliminate the enemies from all over the world for future generations!" Yan Yan said seriously.
