The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 559 The situation is critical

Nomadic people were originally invincible on the vast grasslands.

If the enemy is strong, run away; if the enemy is weak, attack.

As long as they don't burn down the entire grassland in one fire, they will have countless opportunities to come back.

Therefore, no matter how the dynasties changed, the threat from the north always came and went and never ceased.

Tian Ze is confident that he can resolve this cycle based on the leapfrog development of productivity and the great development of grassland value.

Otherwise, the Hu people would be like grass seeds on the grassland, which cannot be burned by wildfires and will grow again with the spring breeze.

However, the invincible Hu people had not suffered heavy losses before.

The two most critical reasons for being hit hard are generally underestimating the enemy and misjudgment.

As long as they are aware of the enemy's strength and purpose, they will not engage in a head-on battle, but will harass the enemy until they are tired or reveal a flaw, and they will naturally win.

Therefore, the key to defeating the main force of the Northern Huns lies in these two points.

How to make the Northern Huns underestimate the enemy and misjudge.

After everyone in the hall thought for a moment, they all turned their eyes to Yuan Shu, who was eating and drinking as if no one was around.

Looking at everyone staring at him, Yuan Shu suddenly had a bad feeling and almost choked.

He quickly swallowed the mutton in his mouth and drank some honey water to calm his breath. Only then did Yuan Shu come to his senses.

He looked at everyone with a bit of displeasure: "What are you looking at? Why do you look like you want to trick me?"

Everyone revealed a meaningful smile.

Yuan Shao came over, patted Yuan Shu's shoulder gently, and said solemnly: "Gong Lu, there is a difficult task here, I'm afraid only you can complete it!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his chest and said, "Brother, tell me what you need me to do. I won't hesitate."

When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces widened.

……

"Chanyu, these Han people are coming with ill intentions, so we must be on guard early!" said Xubuduge, the right wise king of the Northern Xiongnu, in a serious tone.

After Huyan China's attempt failed, Luandi Ule realized the seriousness of the problem and summoned many leaders of the Northern Xiongnu without hesitation.

After listening to Huyan China's story, Xubuduge, the Right Wise King and a wise man of the Northern Xiongnu, immediately realized the urgency of the situation.

"Isn't it just some miscellaneous soldiers from the Western Regions? How can it be so serious?" The always warlike Zuo Xian King Hu Yan Moye said disdainfully.

"That means Hu Yanchi and his people are just average in terms of combat power. If it were me, I would definitely make sure the Han people would never return."

Hearing the contempt and disdain in Hu Yan Moyue's words, Hu Yan Chi was immediately furious, and his cold eyes swept towards the other party without any expression.

Hu Yan Moye seemed to have noticed Hu Yan Chi's gaze. He snorted again with disdain without any intention of explaining.

The Northern Huns were not a monolithic group.

Like the Xiongnu and Xianbei of the past, their nature is more like a tribal alliance.

Although they all obeyed the Chanyu, there were also many disputes and grudges between them, just like Huyan Moye and Huyan China, the two never got along.

The former looks down on the latter's cunning and insidiousness, and the latter looks down on the former's recklessness and arrogance.

As the Chanyu, Luandi Wule naturally noticed the inappropriateness in Huyan Moye's words and quickly scolded him: "Moye, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"With a powerful enemy at hand, we should unite to fight the enemy. How can we blame our own people?" "Chanyu, I didn't. I just..." Hu Yanmoye quickly defended himself.

"Shut up! Now our Northern Huns are at the critical moment of life and death. One wrong step could lead to a bottomless abyss."

"When you made mistakes in the past, I turned a blind eye and let it go. But now, I will not allow any inappropriate voices, no matter what the reason."

"If I hear it again, no matter who it is, I will punish them severely!"

Luandi Wule said with a stern face. His terrifying aura made everyone dare not speak, and they could not help but lower their heads under his tiger eyes.

After forcibly subduing this group of fierce generals, Luandi Ule looked at the Right Wise King Xubuduge again.

"Tuge, explain to them the situation we are facing."

Xubu Tuge nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, what the Chanyu said is correct. We are now at a time of life and death!"

"I'm afraid the Han people are coming here not just to station troops, but also to have big plans!"

As the person in charge of the Northern Xiongnu's intelligence and diplomacy, he knew the situation of Yuan Shao and others and the current situation best, and therefore could best understand Luandi Wule's feelings.

"Two years ago, two groups of Han people came from the east and stationed around Wusun and Shule. According to what I learned from the spies I sent, they both brought more than a million Han people and no less than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses."

"Last year, two more groups of Han people came from the east and also stationed around Shule, also bringing with them millions of Han people and no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses."

"Now, almost the entire western part of the Western Regions is under the control of the Han people. It is called garrison, but in fact it is to divide the land and crown the king."

"The only thing to be thankful for is that these Han people belong to different factions, and they are not part of the Great Qi. They were driven out of Han territory and only belong to it in name."

Having said this, Xubuduge paused slightly.

In fact, he was skeptical about this matter to a certain extent.

However, he knew the Han people very well, and his pursuit of great unification and intolerance of dividing the land and enthroning kings was almost ingrained in their bones.

He really couldn't think of any reason why Da Qi would support these four small countries.

It can only be attributed to the compromise made by Da Qi in order to avoid internal disputes. In the future, it will inevitably take action against these four small countries.

But the problem now is that these four small countries have taken root next to them.

He also knew what the Han people often said: "How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?"

Judging from the Han people's recent reactions, they are already ready to make a move. I am afraid that they will start a war before Da Qi attacks.

And the strength of this group of Han people...

The total number of soldiers and horses is no less than 400,000 or 500,000, which is more than their total population.

Although our fighting power seems to be weaker than theirs, if the other party really attacks us, we will definitely be defeated.

The absolute gap in strength, coupled with the fact that the other side was also quite adept at guerrilla warfare and surprise attacks, had already made him realize that the difficulty and threat posed by this group of Han people were far beyond what Parthia and Kushan could match.

Of course, he was not actually worried that these Han people would come out in full force and fight them with all their national strength.

After all, everyone is here to survive.

There were three huge threats around it: Kushan, Parthia and Qi.

It's okay for them to attack each other and take advantage of each other. If they really fight to the death, it's easy for others to reap the benefits.

However, the existence of the other party has already created a threat. Even if the threat to them is not that great now, it will still pose a fatal threat in the future as the other party grows stronger.
