Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 364 Meeting with the West 1
The tribe composed of more than 4 warriors is quite terrifying. Everyone is good at fighting, and everyone rides horses. Even the large tribes on the grassland dare not provoke them.If the warriors in such a tribe are all veterans of many battles, I am afraid that other tribes will hide away when they hear the name of such a tribe.

At this time, the army led by Gongsun Xu was such a terrifying tribe.After the last battle against the Xianbei Allied Forces, Gongsun Xu is now ruthless in his actions, but whenever any tribe slightly neglects the envoys he sent, Gongsun Xu will lead his troops to attack as quickly as possible.

With such a strong attitude, even the Huns and Xianbei did not dare to do so when they were the most powerful.The arrogance of the northern border army really frightened the nomadic tribes living in the grasslands, and they had to make a choice.

After several days of patrolling, the nearby tribes successively sent surrender forms expressing their willingness to surrender, but they all hoped to stay in their current territory. There are abundant aquatic plants and pleasant environment, and they are reluctant to migrate.

Even if those small tribes did not occupy the best grasslands, their current geographical location must be far away from disputes, which is conducive to their reproduction.For the behavior of these tribes, Gongsun Xu chose to be patient for the time being.

As far as the present is concerned, what the Northern Frontier Army has shown is a strong domineering, which certainly makes those tribes with crooked minds afraid to make trouble, but the final effect is to coerce other tribes and make them temporarily Submitting to one's own force, as for the so-called sincere attachment, these tribes are definitely unable to do it now.

After all, their interests have not yet been fully linked to the interests of the Northern Xinjiang Army, so there is no rush for this matter.Gongsun Xu also has a general plan. After the grassland is completely stabilized, he will definitely encourage the Central Plains to trade with the grassland.

As long as trade can be carried out, not only the Central Plains and the grasslands will get what they need, but the northern border army stuck in the middle will get the greatest benefit.Regarding this matter, Gongsun Xu has not communicated with anyone in detail. When he knows it well, many of Gongsun Xu's ideas are a bit ahead of his time. Generally, they are either misunderstood or difficult to convince others.

The entire Han Dynasty was still based on farming. Coupled with the influence of Confucian culture since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the hierarchical concept of scholars, farmers, and businessmen was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was opposed by many conservative forces and hostile forces.

But Gongsun Xu understands the benefits. The reason why he intends to use two to three years to resume production in northern Xinjiang is more because he wants to lay a good foundation for northern Xinjiang, and wait until the benefits brought by trade are enough to allow the forces in the north and the south to rise. When he is in his heart, Gongsun Xu will be able to strangle the northern and southern forces by the throat.

Simply relying on force to defeat the enemy is a helpless way. This will not only waste people and money, but will also destroy production. Maybe the foundation accumulated in the past few years will be consumed at once. This approach is the most unwise of.

It is the best way to fight an economic war, defeat the opponent economically, and then completely suppress the opponent with force.

Regarding this, Gongsun Xu has to prepare carefully. The most important thing now is to stabilize the grassland. At this time, Gongsun Xu's troops are only two or three days away from Wen Chou, and all the nearby tribes have sent them. After lowering the table, Gongsun Xu's plan to inspect the grasslands was more than half successfully implemented.

Because of Xianbei's defeat last time, there must be chaos for a while. Yan Liang will definitely go to the Xianbei tribe in the east. In addition, He Lian has his own support. He probably wants to treat himself. Hostile forces strike.In this way, Xianbei can't stop for more than half a year.

The most important thing now is the attitude of the Qiang people and the remnants of the Huns in the west. Needless to say, the remnants of the Huns have suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army this time. Retaliation is impossible.

If it weren't for the current situation being unclear, and the northern border army was not suitable to continue for the time being, or Gongsun Xu would really drive out the Xiongnu.It is not a good thing to keep a disaster, especially now that the remnants of the Xiongnu are urgently stationed in the west, which poses a threat to the interests of the northern border army in the grassland.

Although the Qiang people have never dealt with the Northern Border Army, last time Xu Shu and the others passed through the territories of the Qiang tribes, and what happened during that time, the relationship between most Qiang tribes and the Northern Border Army is now Not very good.

Although Han Sui didn't take the opportunity to deal with the Beijiang Army, he did a lot of tricks in the dark, especially after he learned that the mysterious tribe that intersected the Qiang territory was a partial division of the Beijiang Army, Han Sui became more careful .

The range of interests of the Northern Army was close to his. Although Han Sui did not dare to confront the Northern Army, no one could guarantee what would happen in the future.

In order to win a chance to recuperate, Gongsun Xu decided to hold an alliance in the grassland. He wanted to invite those forces with uncertain attitudes to discuss the distribution of benefits in the grassland. At the same time, he could also use this opportunity to beat these forces. .

In fact, Gongsun Xu did not invite many people this time. Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Teng had to be invited. The leaders of the remnant Xiongnu forces also received Gongsun Xu’s invitation letter. It might be difficult to invite anyone, so Gongsun Xu only sent an invitation letter to Helian.

Gongsun Xu has already notified Gao Shun, Xu Shu and Wen Chou about the Grassland Alliance. In order to cooperate with this meeting, Gao Shun has already made adjustments there, and then transferred [-] draft troops to this side.

As for the Huns camp that Gao Shun is currently besieging, at this moment, for Gao Shun, this Huns camp is no longer a threat. , this camp may have been taken down long ago.

It's okay now, but Gao Shun is not in a hurry anymore, he is just waiting, when the hungry hands and feet of the Xiongnu soldiers in this camp become weak and unable to hold weapons, and when they eat up all the horses, Gao Shun can slowly slaughter them .

Xi Zhicai is directing the follow-up troops to move the battalion and the main force to Hetao, Xu Shu is preparing for this matter, and on Wuyuan, Zhao Feng has already started preparing for the migration of refugees, and a large number of refugees are rushing to Wuyuan now. Ready to build your new home.

After the banner of the alliance was announced, the reactions of the various tribes in the grassland were different. Some thought it was a sincere expression of the northern army, some thought that the northern army wanted to show off their power by taking advantage of the victory, and some remained humble. Attitude, dare not say a word.

At this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were far away in Xiliang, were also preparing to join the alliance. They dared not accept Gongsun Xu's invitation.Needless to say, Ma Teng is not as powerful as Han Sui in Xiliang, and Han Sui is insidious and cunning, Ma Teng is not his opponent at all, so he must find a strong foreign aid.

Furthermore, Ma Teng is quite loyal to the Liu family of the Han Dynasty. The orthodox court recognized by the whole world is now in northern Xinjiang. Gongsun Xu is the general of the Han Dynasty and has the right to mobilize troops from anywhere in the world. If he obeyed the transfer order, he would be regarded as a rebel, a crime that Ma Teng could not bear now.

Han Sui didn't dare not to come. On Xiliang's side, he was originally the big man behind the scenes. Now that the Northern Xinjiang Army has stepped in, his power and interests are threatened. Moreover, this old fox understands very well that Gongsun Xu is probably He will take advantage of the conflict between him and Ma Teng, so he must stop their alliance.

As for the Xiongnu, if they want to continue the decisive battle with the northern border army, then they don't have to use it, just keep fighting.But if they want to stay well, they have to show an attitude, otherwise, if they don't fight, Gongsun Xu will at least send a few partial divisions to harass them and make them unhappy.

The current leader of the remnants of the Huns is Yu Fuluo’s younger brother, Luantihu Chuquan. They consider themselves to be the orthodox Huns, so after abducting more than 7 Huns cavalry on the battlefield last time, they immediately restored their status. At this time, Luan Tihu Chuquan was the Xiongnu Shanyu.

When he received Gongsun Xu's invitation letter, he wasn't very surprised. It was the most sensible thing for Gongsun Xu to do. Of course, it was also what worried Luan Tihu Chuquan the most. This is enough to prove that Gongsun Xu is not so easy to mess with. of.

In the court of the King of the Huns, in Luan Tihu Chuquan's big tent, he was discussing matters with a young man.

"Bao'er, it seems that this Gongsun Xu is much more powerful than we imagined." Luan Tihu Chuquan said to the young man: "He can fight and endure, and he has a good grasp of timing. There is no strength to fight back against him."

This young man is Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo. If the coup had not occurred within the Xiongnu, I am afraid that Yu Fuluo would not have died tragically in his hometown, and Liu Bao would have enjoyed the glory and wealth in the court of the Huns.

These years of wandering also made Liu Bao mature quickly. He squinted his eyes and said coldly: "The matter has come to this point, I can only bear it, but, uncle, do you think Gongsun Xu will use this alliance to further attack you?" We, if we surrender, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to stand up in the future."

"Probably not." Luan Tihu Chuquan thought for a while and replied: "Gongsun Xu knows better than us the truth of fish death and net failure. He will not be so reckless, and his troubles will definitely not be less than ours. So choosing to join the alliance at this time must be because his rear is not stable enough.

But we are definitely going to be suppressed, alas, no matter, this time I will meet him Gongsun Xu, I want to see what kind of hero this Northern Xinjiang general is. "
