Chapter 1474

The so-called "Sixteen States of Youyun" is actually a geographical concept, referring to Youzhou, Shunzhou, Ruzhou, Tanzhou, Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Xinzhou, Guizhou, Wuzhou , Weizhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou, and Yunzhou are sixteen states.The general scope of these sixteen prefectures is the vast area in northern Hebei and northern Shanxi.Since ancient times, this area has been the only way for the northern minorities to go south to the Central Plains, and it is also a natural defensive barrier for the Central Plains Dynasty.

Youyun Sixteen States are basically the dangerous mountains and rivers in the north, and they are the last barrier for the Central Plains to guard the northern agricultural areas. They have an extremely important military status, and the Great Wall cruises in this area.

The Central Plains Dynasty built many cities here, so that the cavalry of the grasslands could not exert their advantages at all. If the grasslands really hid the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, the strategy of the Central Plains to defend the northern nomads caused great passiveness. To the south is the endless North China Plain, which is a natural battlefield for cavalry. Except for a Yellow River, there is no other terrain to rely on for defense. When the Yellow River is covered with thick ice in winter and can run horses, nomads will rely on fast horses for a few days. You can go through the state and go directly to Fudi in the Central Plains.

But everyone knows the importance of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the Central Plains Dynasty certainly knows it better. Here are the elites of the hundreds of thousands of imperial courts who have been stationed all year round. Not to mention anything else, the grasslands may not be able to beat the troops just here. .Although the cavalry on the prairie had certain advantages, the Central Plains Dynasty was not afraid of the cavalry on the prairie at all, relying on the city, and those crossbows and crossbows.

Zeng Yi really didn't know what gave Grassland confidence and made them feel that they could win the Sixteen States of Youyun. Zeng Yi was sure that as long as Grassland sent troops, the imperial court would definitely attack them hard, and even those sects that had a gap with the imperial court would also Sending disciples to participate in the battle is a good opportunity to gain fame, and the factions will not miss it. "No, if the grassland sends troops, this will really help the Central Plains Dynasty and divert internal conflicts!"

Seeing Xiao Feng frowning, Yelu Hongji asked: "What, brother, do you have any other ideas?"

"Brother, I just think that now is not a good time to send troops. Although the Central Plains Dynasty has gaps with the various factions, the strength of the Central Plains is still very strong without the various factions! Brother, you also know that there are few people in my place. If you are sending troops, you really can't bear it!"

"Don't worry, brother, as long as there are no masters from various factions to fight, just rely on soldiers, we prairie sons, have never been afraid of anyone!"

Xiao Feng wanted to say something else, Zeng Yi shook his head quietly beside him, Xiao Feng was silent for a moment, and said: "Brother, I don't understand the current situation very well, after I see the big man at night, I understand the situation, and then I will talk about this Bar."

"Well, my virtuous brother really needs to get to know you better, then I won't bother you, we'll talk later." Yelu Hongji was not angry at all, he came today just to probe Xiao Feng's mouth, what he really wanted to talk about behind.

After Yelu Hongji left, Xiao Feng sighed: "Hey, is this war really going to start again?"

Zeng Yi hurriedly said from the side: "Brother, you don't have to worry too much, the matter has not reached that point yet, you can go to the evening to raise different opinions, understand the meaning of other tribes, and make plans."

A few moments after Yelu Hongji left, several prairie people in gorgeous clothes came to Xiao Feng's place, and they were quite respectful, "King Xiao, welcome to the court of the Great Khan, you have worked hard all the way, and tonight the Khan In the king's tent, I will invite all Khans to a banquet, and I have been specially sent to invite King Xiao."

"Thank you, Khan, I will definitely be there tonight!"

At night, Zeng Yi failed to follow Xiao Feng to Mengge's king's tent. It wasn't because Zeng Yi was exposed, or he didn't want to go. It's just that Mengge Khan hosted a banquet for all the Khans tonight, and only the Khans were eligible to go. You can't bring anything with you.Zeng Yi didn't care, if he couldn't go, he couldn't go, Xiao Feng told him everything inside.But Zeng Yi still despises Brother Meng very much. He has completely lost the courage he had when fighting for hegemony in the grassland. Now, Brother Meng dare not let the khans lead the guards for safety!
Several hours later, Xiao Feng came back frowning, Zeng Yi saw Xiao Feng's appearance, Zeng Yi knew that Xiao Feng must be unhappy, looked at Xiao Feng, and asked: "Brother, how is it?"

"Hey, as expected, Meng Ge wants to take advantage of the internal troubles in the Central Plains and send troops to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. I also suggested that now is not a good time to send troops, and some small and medium tribes support it, but Meng Ge and Yelu Hongji both agree. Sending troops, this has already accounted for more than half of the power in the grassland. The other tribes have no strength to oppose it at all."

Hearing this, Zeng Yi was relieved a lot, as long as some tribes don't want to participate.Sending troops is indeed a troublesome matter for small and medium tribes. They have no right to speak at all and can only passively follow the big tribes.It can be said that it is thankless, unless the disaster cannot survive, those small tribes really don't want war to break out.

"Brother, don't worry, the situation is actually pretty good. As long as Yelu Hongji doesn't agree to send troops, Brother Meng must think about sending troops." Zeng Yi calmly persuaded Xiao Feng.

Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Xiao Feng said: "But, I see Yelu Hongji's meaning, he is also very supportive of sending troops to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures."

"Brother, did Brother Meng tell you about the troops that each tribe will send out?" Zeng Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked something that was confusing.

"One draw out of five, one out of every five people."

Hearing Mengge's high smoking ratio, Zeng Yi smiled, "Yelu Hongji is just blinded by the benefits brought by the sixteen states of Youyun. When he thinks clearly, Will understand!"

Seeing that Zeng Yi was smiling and not worried at all, Xiao Feng said: "Second brother, do you have any tricks?"

"Of course, brother, your soldiers lent me two days, and I want to use them. The matter of sending troops is of great importance, and the distribution of spoils after the war cannot be decided in a day or two. God, brother, you can contact those tribes who claim that they are not suitable for military use."

Zeng Yi now has a plan in his mind. Of course he can't really let the grassland use his troops. Let's not talk about whether to fight or not. The main reason is that it is not good for him, but it will affect their future plans. He has to find a way. Prevent the grassland from using troops.And the key to this is Yelu Hongji.
