"Nuan Nuan!"
Fang Fang carried a bottle of wine and walked to the outskirts of the camp.
In the afternoon, the campground was cleaner without more than a dozen people. Fang Fang said he didn't care and just let his mind wander. This was unnatural.
"Thanks!"
Xiaohu took the wine nang and huddled up in his hood. He squinted quickly and breathed a sigh of relief, "I still have to rely on this mouthful. Back then in Guangchang, I could only rely on shaking when I was cold. You can rely on rubbing!"
"You've been to Guangchang, how come I didn't know about it?" Fang Fang took back the wine bag and gave himself a sip.
Having never experienced the severe cold of the Wu Dynasty, naturally I don't understand the effect of this wine. It is cold when you drink it, but after drinking it, your blood warms up.
"I'm an orphan!" Xiaohu looked back at Fangfang, "I grew up in the Yangji Camp and came to Tai'an City after I was sixteen!"
The Yangji Camp was the same as the Yangji Yuan, but the name was different. The area in Guangchang was even more panicked. There was no land in the city so it was built outside, and military-style training was carried out for the orphans of the Wu family.
"I know this, but I didn't expect that you could steal the right to speak from the Li brothers!" Fang Fang smiled.
The Li brothers are people he recognizes, and Xiaohu is his. No matter what the reason is, if one of his own people performs well, he will be ignored by those with a long face.
"Whatever you want to grab, I just know how to deal with difficulties better than they do, and I know how to survive."
"To use what you said before, sir, the Li brothers are domesticated and I am wild. If you want to live well in the almshouse, you have to behave. I followed the veterans to do this kind of guarding when I was nine years old. This is not what I want to show, but when it comes to experience, the Li brothers are the best!"
"I see it! By the way, what's going on now?"
The smell of alcohol was rising. Fang Fang, who had just walked out of the tent, faintly noticed that his vest was starting to sweat. He took a sip when he felt it, and then gave the rest to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu pointed to the river beach to the north, "Six groups of people passed here in the morning, as few as three or four, as many as seven or eight, all of them experienced. The wolf dogs brought thirteen, plus the two we have on hand. , sixteen in total, and the other directions should be similar!"
"It may not be useful in large numbers, but the wolf dogs trained by Longwuwei all have the ability to hunt wolves in the mountains. As long as the people of Longwuwei take the leading dog to the south, they will kill them at night, no matter how many people come, they will all be killed." Don’t even think about running away!”
The warriors are very familiar with the rules of the old forest. They may lack anything, but there is no shortage of experienced dog trainers. The warriors can have leather armor and scimitars at home, but they must not lack dogs.
Ten dogs produce one dog, and nine dogs produce a mastiff. The better the conditions, the more ferocious the breed.
The various guards, camps, and breeders in Gyeonggi Province all breed excellent dogs. During the hunting activities held next autumn, whoever can borrow one of the leading dogs will be honored.
"Listen to what you said, weren't all my previous worries in vain?"
Hearing the good news made people feel comfortable, so Fang Fang turned to ask, "You are familiar with Guangchang, but are you familiar with the situation in the grassland?"
Fang Fang has never let down his guard against the aliens on the grassland.
The history of China has long proved that the contradiction between farming civilization and nomadic civilization is irreconcilable.
The situation here in Kyushu, coupled with the harsher climate in the north, will only deepen this contradiction.
But it is a pity that the Wu Dynasty has implemented a blockade policy on the border all year round. Although the situation in the Central Plains countries is also closed, there is still more or less private trade and diplomatic exchanges. It is almost impossible to understand the grassland through private channels. Even if there are occasional people from The soldiers at the border cannot be matched by the equation.
The Li brothers may also understand, but isn't there no chance?
"I don't know what you want to know, sir, but I can still explain the general situation clearly. After all, in Guangchang, it is impossible to say that there is no contact with the alien races on the grassland!"
Grassland, the more you know about it, the less you want to talk about it. There is a blood debt behind everything.
For people who are far away from the border, talking about it is useless. Those who are ignorant will either cause panic or talk nonsense.
"The three tribes of the grassland, the Tatars are not on the same side as us, the Jurchens, and Mongolia all have exchanges with each other. Guangchang is close to the Xianbei Prairie. Let's talk about the Jurchens first!"
The Kyushu were unified, and the grasslands also had alliance leaders. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and replaced them with Xianbei.
Xianbei was at its peak. From the Xianbei Mountains and Wuheng Mountains that had retreated to self-preservation, they went all the way west to Tubo territory. The entire grassland and pastures were divided by the Xianbei clan.
In the early years of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Li Tang royal family took over Youzhou from Xianbei in order to unify the nine states. Three emperors fought for fifty years before cutting off Xianbei's hand in Youzhou.
I thought there was something wrong behind it, but history tells everyone that dynasties have the curse of prosperity and decline, and the Prairie Alliance also has the curse of decline and defeat.
With the loss of Youzhou, the alliance was broken, and the Xianbei Empire was torn apart from within. The Xianbei and Wuheng tribes that replaced them, as well as the thirteen tribes below them, have never been integrated into the grassland.
Among the three most powerful ethnic groups at the moment, the Tatars are the descendants of the Xiongnu who fled westward, the Mongols are the descendants of the Donghu, and the Jurchens are the only ones who have risen step by step from a small tribe.
In terms of strength, Mongolia is the strongest, but after the death of the genius who unified Mongolia, the ownership of the Wolf Tent has become the focus of the leaders of the various Mongolian ministries. Mongolia will not be able to invade the outside world unless they beat the dog's brains out.
Under Mongolia are the Tatars, whose tribes are distributed near the Silk Road. At the same time, they peeked at the Liao Kingdom and joined forces with the Liao Kingdom to share the interests of the Silk Road.
The Jurchens are the most ambitious, but they have been unable to get out because they were surrounded by Mongolia, Wu Dynasty, and Three Koreas. This is also a factor that makes the grassland restless.
"How do you describe the Jurchen situation?"
Xiaohu touched his chin, "Those who don't understand the grassland will think of the Jurchen as a whole. In fact, the Jurchen should be divided into three parts!"
"The famous one is the Jin Kingdom who established the royal power in Xuantu, Youzhou. He entered the pass and learned the Han system. But in fact, this part is more of a nominal notification to the entire Jurchen ethnic group!"
"Xuantu Jurchen is called the Jurchen of Dongdu!"
"Corresponding to Shengjing, the old capital of Dongdu, that is the core of the Jurchen ethnic group. The five banner kings discuss matters and specifically allocate the Jurchen ethnic group's pastures outside the pass. At the same time, each banner king has its own tribe, soldiers and horses, and the weakest They all have tens of thousands of cavalry, and the combined strength of the five banner kings is close to half a million!"
"The last part is the Jurchens who still stay in the Black Mountains and White Waters. These people are obviously losers in the past struggles, but secretly joined forces with the shamans to cultivate a large number of wolf warriors!"
"When such a situation occurs, the grasslands and the Central Plains each have their own explanations!"
"The saying in the grassland is that the real Jurchens and the mature women are at odds, so there is internal fighting, but I think this is completely bullshit. It is true that some of the Jurchens who fled to their ancestral land are the real Jurchens, but they can control the black mountains and white water or the real mature women!"
"The theory in the Central Plains is mainly from the Song Dynasty. They believe that Wanyan Agu was killed suddenly and the successor was not arranged. After his death, a small number of supporters believed that the Wanyan clan was the chosen clan of Jurchens, and the next emperor should follow Wanyan. The Yan family was born, but most Jurchens believe that there are only chosen people in the grassland, and there is no chosen clan. The new leader should be selected according to the rules of the grassland. As for those who were driven away, they believe that they should learn from Xianbei and divide the pastures for each. , waiting for the Chosen One to come!”
