Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 427 Fame

"Xiongnu!" Whether it was Xiang Sheng, Xiang Ceyu or the rest of the people, all looked serious. He naturally knew the name of the Xiongnu. He had competed with the Qin Empire and defeated Yang Su not long ago. He was an opponent that should not be underestimated.

"This is the most critical point. If you go to the Western Regions and do things next, you'd better do it under the banner of the Han Kingdom. Because the confrontation between Wei Qing and the Xiongnu King Zuoxian in Youzhou made us a strong one recognized by the Xiongnu.

After that, the Northern Liang Army became famous in the Western Regions, making Tibet and other foreign countries extremely fearful. If you do not plan to use the banner of the Han Dynasty, but plan to be independent, you will lose the qualification to stand aside and watch the show.

You don’t even need to wait until the war is over, they might be liquidated by the Huns or Tubo. "Liu Hua looked calm and said frankly at this time.

Xiang Sheng's expression became a bit serious when he heard Liu Hua's words, while Xiang Ceyu just frowned.

To be honest, if they just went there to make soy sauce, whether it was the Qin Army, Xiang Ceyu, or Qi Jiguang and others, the Xiongnu and Tubo would have to face each other sooner or later. But with Beiliang here, at least in a short time I won't take the time to find them.

Because at this time, each side is accumulating its own strength, waiting for the decisive moment.

At this time, the Han Dynasty had fought with the Xiongnu, and they all knew that Liu Hua's men were not weak. At least they really couldn't wipe them out in one go. Fighting with them would only drag them down.

Therefore, the best solution is to put aside the Han army issue first. As long as the Han army does not directly intervene, everything will be easy to deal with.

After all, Liu Hua had just fought a battle in Luoyang. Although the Xiongnu did not know the specific situation, they encouraged the remnants of the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies to invade the north. Therefore, the Xiongnu believed that Liu Hua would not be able to do anything in a short time. Free up your hands to solve problems.

After all, it is not easy to transport food on the grassland, let alone Liu Hua transporting food from Guanzhong to the border area. The distance itself is the best barrier between the two sides.

If the reinforcements sent are too weak, they will be eaten directly by the Xiongnu. If they are strong, they may affect the recovery of the big man.

But even so, Mao Dun still determined that Liu Hua would send troops to attack Qin, and then fought with the Hu army going south. Only then did Mao Dun make up his mind to destroy Beiliang.

Because compared to the foreign races from the north, it is too terrifying for the Chinese civilization, which is dominated by farming culture, to restore its production capacity.

More importantly, the Huns are also afraid that Liu Hua will recover and then swallow the Huns in one bite, so he needs to increase his body size.

After all, in this era, neither the Qin people nor the Han people are the kind of race that can only talk. On the contrary, throughout East Asia, and even the entire world, the Han people are the most willing and able to fight.

Even though the entire Spring and Autumn and Warring States period seemed to be at war every day, there was almost no news of any foreign invasion.

In fact, basically all the countries in the fringe areas were beaten by my Chinese XX country. I went to the surrounding alien dungeons and brushed them. When I got the equipment and population again, I would update them for you to fight to the death.

Among them, the most successful country should be the Qin State. It directly swallowed the whale with one hand. After Yiqu swallowed it, it had abundant human resources and caught up with Shang Yang's reform and rapid farming war system. Culturally, this The group of people assimilated and became Qin people.

Next is the Chu State. The main goal of the Chu State is not the population, but the land. It is precisely because the Chu State has seized a large amount of land from the barbarians that the Chu State has the broadest strategic depth in the entire Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.

The worst was the State of Zhao. King Zhao Wuling's cavalry and archery in Hufu was originally very good. However, due to his brain damage, he was killed and many people were killed. The reform of cavalry and archery in Hufu was not thorough.

In the end, only generals like Li Mu consciously went to the border to create copies of foreign races. Unfortunately, Li Mu was only a general. He could only fight an army, but it was impossible to change the entire country.

But this army is facing the Qin Dynasty, which has completed the system of snake-eating whales and farming wars. It can be fought in two waves. If you fight too much, others will not be stupid and just use off-board moves to kill you. Therefore, a simple soldier is It cannot save the country. During the Xiongnu period, when facing the Qin Dynasty, they were driven out of the Hetao and were directly beaten into two. When facing the Han army, they were still beaten violently.

All in all, the foreigners at this time are not the kind of guys who really can't survive, and they really don't want to provoke the Han army.

A very important reason why the Hu people went north was that they were reduced to a remnant army by the Huns and had nothing left.

They went south simply to grab supplies to survive, so they were persuaded to go south.

Coincidentally, the Battle of Luoyang is ongoing, which means no one in the north can stop them.

Even if Liu Hua dealt with the coalition of princes as quickly as possible and then appeased Xiang Ceyu's Chu State, it was impossible to stop their plundering. He could only catch up with them and kill them all, otherwise from now on. There will never be peace in the Northland again.

However, as long as they are not forced to go barefoot and wear shoes, basically any foreign force with political power to stop them will know the power of the Han Dynasty who inherited the Chinese civilization. This is one of the reasons why Maodun conveniently added trouble to Liu Hua.

He needs time, very much.

The conquests between grassland civilizations are not like the Chinese civilization that has strong cities to garrison. The war starts and ends quickly.

For Mao Dun, who had been planning for many years, all he lacked was an opportunity.

In the battle with Xianbei, he plundered Xianbei's wealth. After a year of digestion, he had already digested it. Especially the grassland civilization can absorb the slaves and warriors of other tribes very quickly. It can be said that Maodun's sword is already hungry at this moment. Unbearable thirst.

Using the remaining power of Xianbei to prevent the Han Dynasty from interfering with its unification of the grasslands was Maodun's first-hand defense.

It would be okay if he didn't feel it before, but the Han army could easily defeat King Zuo Xian, which had to make Mao Dun be more vigilant.

Although there is no obvious rift between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu so far, and even because of the emergence of the trading city, the two sides are conducting quite hot trade. For both sides, this time is like a honeymoon.

But as a far-sighted leader, Mao Dun knew very well that the Han Dynasty would definitely become a serious problem for the Xiongnu!

Because the distance between the two sides is really too close, so close that when I get close to the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, I don't feel safe at all.

Although the Han army at this time did not seem to be very good at riding and shooting, and the long land supply line made it seem impossible for them to cross the prairie and attack the hinterland of the Huns.

But Mao Dun knew clearly that riding skills were just skills and could be mastered as long as they studied hard. As for food and grass, as long as they mastered animal husbandry, they could still gain a foothold on the grassland.

Therefore, he must unify the grassland during the window period when Liu Hua is not free. Only in this way can he confront Liu Hua, who has the entire Central Plains power.

Although Liu Hua and others could not estimate this step, they could judge from the amount of various materials purchased in the Trade City, especially iron materials, that the Huns were obviously preparing for something this winter, waiting for the arrival of spring, waiting for The snow melts.

Yes, Liu Hua also bought ironware for the Xiongnu. Of course, strictly speaking, it was not ironware, but bronzeware.
