Chapter seventy-seven One thousand days of war
At the beginning of autumn, the green of the west wind prairie is still the main tone, occasionally mixed with mottled and yellow, especially in the southern part of the boundary grassland of Germusha River.
The extreme northern end of the prairie includes the ice coast. In a white ice sheet, the area next to the ice sheet is bitter, cold, dark, gloomy and wild forest. It is rare for Chinese people to live here for a long time except for ice and snow.
The north-central grassland is barren and arid, with sparse vegetation. The Lille Plateau, including the Tianshen Mountains, is surrounded by steep slopes and canyons.
In the south-central part of the grassland, it is rich in water and grass, and it is also home to a large number of grassland ethnic groups
Although every region will have pastures and oases suitable for people and animals to breed lush water and grass, such beautiful places are not connected into pieces, but are dismembered into small pieces like puzzles by deserts, Gobi, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, swamps and so on, and scattered in the prairie.
Natural conditions give people born in those places a choice-if they want to continue to live, they must move frequently, because relying on a piece of grass is the way to live for a long time.
Therefore, all ethnic groups in the grassland are finally struggling with a chance to live, and the nomadic life of "living by water plants" is a portrayal of their life struggle
In order to live, they must learn to adapt to various environments, and their hometown in a certain place can be used as an arena because the grassland is their hometown and even the whole land.
In the whole grassland, the southern part of Geermusha River is called a paradise with the richest aquatic plants and the warmest climate.
The unique geographical environment is the reason why the Xiguo clan can rank among the first clan in the west wind prairie and create the Pangda Xiguo Empire.
Pearl lakes and necklace-like rivers are dotted in the south of the grassland. The water is abundant, the climate is relatively warm and humid, and the vegetation grows densely and luxuriantly.
Some places are dense shrubs and pine forests that have stood alone for thousands of years; In some places, rivers and streams overflow into swamps and depressions, and reeds are embedded in the earth; More, bigger and wider is the grassland formed by the flat land, spreading out large tracts of endless pastures.
Although it is far less desolate than other areas, the southern part is still sparsely populated, but all kinds of wild animals have found spacious and pleasant habitats
Deep in the forest, there are several wild animals, such as brown bear and wild boar, hanging around lazily. They live next to each other, such as wild wolves, bobcats, sable, deer and antelope.
In the stream, schools of fish are like shuttles, waterfowl swim in the marshes and lowlands of the river bend, and beaver otters eat their bellies so full that they roll around in the mud.
In some dry grasslands, herds of bison, wild horses and wild sheep roam, especially those wild horses with long manes on their foreheads, staring at bloodshot red eyes and looking around warily, they rush away at the slightest sign of trouble to form a spectacular scene of Ma Benteng.
This area is a paradise for birds and animals, but human beings have become a foil. Occasionally, some shepherds can be seen riding horses with hounds and driving a large group of cattle, sheep and other livestock on the grassland, and the surrounding wild animals and plants coexist harmoniously …
As far as the natural scenery is concerned, it is absolutely a beautiful natural scene, which deserves everyone’s admiration and play.
However, war is always destroying everything beautiful.
……
"Whoo!" A loud drink shattered the tranquility of the horizon.
Crowds of wild horses, bison and wild sheep scurried around in panic, and a cloud of dust gradually rose from the distant horizon, which was swooped down here by thousands of horses screaming and yelling.
Riding in the front is a young teenager.
You can effectively protect yourself in this place where the temperature difference between day and night is great by wearing a sheepskin coat and a warm felt hat.
The felt hat sparkled with a pair of bright big eyes, full of cunning and sly pride.
This person impressively is a deceitful ruler.
Behind him are tens of thousands of grassland nomadic cavalry.
Now the ruler is ten years old.
It has been three years since he left the city of Mitre and entered the grassland.
After three years of continental war, he struggled in this grassland for three years.
In these three years, the ruler has faced various dangers more than once, and death has passed by again and again, but it has also won brilliant victories again and again.
The once insignificant boy was once cared about, but now he has become a figure who can decide the war situation in the mainland. He is only ten years old and has swept across the northern part of the westerly prairie and become another grassland expert.
It was this grassland expert who appeared. It was not a blessing for the West, but an out-and-out disaster.
When he chose to develop, Qin Yi told him that if he wanted to cause trouble to the Xiguo people, he must go to the northern grassland to develop.
Here, the water plants are barren, and the nomadic people living here are few in number, but their temperament is fierce, and their struggle is more cruel than that in the southern part of the fertile grassland with water plants.
For Xiguo people, the nomadic people in the northern grassland are a group of completely uncivilized barbarians. They are not angry with Xiguo people’s rule. Many tribes do not recognize Xiguo people’s position in the northern grassland. Every day, they think that it is not like entering the middle-earth world, but like crossing the Germusha River into the southern grassland where the water plants are more fertile.
After the Xifu people invaded the mainland on a large scale, a few nomadic warriors in the northern grassland had promised all kinds of beautiful moves, so some people led their tribes to follow them to the war. At the beginning, Basra Beiyi and Riva were two big families in the northern grassland. As a result, they fought a bloody battle in Basra City successively in Boliwat and Spocayo, but they sacrificed several soldiers in vain. Grunt’s xenophobia was extremely serious, which caused strong dissatisfaction with the tribes in the northern grassland like cannon fodder. The first batch of northern grassland warriors from the northern yi and Riva families withdrew from the mainland hegemony.
It is in this situation that the trap ruler came to the northern part of the west wind grassland
At the beginning, it was almost impossible to win over these prairie people. In fact, it was extremely difficult for them to even live here. Xenophobia is the inherent emotion of every grassland nation. The arrival of outsiders will make the poor resources even more scarce and make life more difficult for people here. Therefore, they almost immediately expelled each other.
But it’s not easy to pinch tofu with a deceitful ruler.
Both Qin Yi and Shallow Water Qing once told him that prairie people are wolves. They are naturally bullying and afraid of hard work. If you are polite to them and wait for you to have a knife, you should be more cruel than them and they will be at your feet.
It is the best way to deal with the grassland people by attacking with force and treating with culture.
In a cunning and cruel way, hundreds of bodies of a few blind and disobedient grassland tribes were destroyed. This is not a good team to provoke everyone, except for some medium-sized or large tribes, and fewer people dare to provoke them.
After World War I, three thousand cavalry troops beat the fierce and tough people face to face, and a tribal team wiped out nearly six thousand soldiers of the tribe. After that, the name of the cunning ruler was thoroughly promoted and inherited the three-character tactic of shallow water. The little guy didn’t hesitate to let go and wait for an opportunity to seize a rich aquatic plant in the northern grassland.
From here, he absorbed a large number of grassland people from all over the country, some weak tribal races, which were annexed and driven by them
In understanding the grassland people, I learned from Qin Yi.
Learn to be shallow and clear when playing tricks on the military and the people.
Ji Ruozi also benefited a lot from the intrigue of politics and diplomacy.
These three famous teachers taught Qin Yi and Qian Shuiqing, and they were always in the dark. He sent all kinds of war materials to show him the trick of selecting people. At that time, he was only sixteen years old, and he was quite experienced in dealing with ethnic and tribal issues, military issues and getting along with others.
Mature political skills, superb diplomatic skills, high tactical command ability and fierce and disciplined troops do not worry about material resources, which makes the strength of the ruler grow by leaps and bounds.
Soon after, Shallow Water Qing personally sent him 3,000 powerful bear warriors.
With these 3,000 celebrities, Xiong Qiangren joined the deception, and the strength soared again, sweeping the enemy in the northern grassland.
