[You start training the cavalry squad, make them sophisticated horse equipment, and train the cavalry battle formation. After half a year, you build an elite squad. 】
If you train an entire army, it will definitely take longer. But just training thirty people was more than enough for Zhang Beichen, and these Donghu people were all good at riding. They only needed to learn tactical coordination, and their combat effectiveness could be greatly increased.
Half a year later, Dadan Yu Daji arrived at the scene as promised, bringing with him the leaders of each tribe.
Daji first watched the thirty people trained by Zhang Beichen. Seeing that they were all powerful and imposing, he also thought to himself: "There is indeed something about this Beichen."
Daji knew the cavalry very well. Just by looking at the faces and well-trained appearance of these people, he knew that this team had extraordinary combat effectiveness.
He thought to himself, if he sent a cavalry to fight the soldiers trained by Zhang Beichen, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to lose?
So Daji asked: "Who wants to take action?"
Xianbei Khan Yu Manhe was dissatisfied with Zhang Beichen because Zhang Beichen was too close to Wuhuan Khan and helped Wuhuan Khan do many things.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let the warriors under my tent teach him a lesson!"
"Okay!" Daji said, "I am here to watch the battle. If you win, I will reward you with a hundred cattle and sheep!"
"As you command!"
Yu Manhe specially selected his elite warriors to fight Zhang Beichen's cavalry.
Both sides held unbladed swords, and the heads of their spears were wrapped in animal skins.
"Charge!" Yu Manhe shouted, and his thirty warriors rushed forward on horseback.
On the other hand, the cavalry trained by Zhang Beichen were well-trained one by one. They formed a battle formation and relied on the power of the battle formation to fight the opponent.
Yu Manhe's cavalry relied purely on individual bravery to fight, while Zhang Beichen's cavalry maintained their formation at all times although they were also moving at high speed.
In this way, there are always people defending, attacking, and silhouetted in the front, back, left, and right of the cavalry formation.
After two consecutive charges, Yu Manhe's cavalry had all collapsed. Although some people in Zhang Beichen's team were injured, their overall combat effectiveness was still more than 70%. It could be said to be a complete victory!
Seeing these cavalry trained by Zhang Beichen, the tribal leaders of Donghu all felt guilty!
The combat effectiveness and discipline of this cavalry are too strong. Especially those strange horse gear. With his help, almost everyone in the formation can become a top cavalry!
Wuhuan Khan was secretly surprised that Yu Manhe's team, which was comparable to his own elite, was defeated so miserably by Zhang Beichen! Are the Yan cavalry really so strong?
Da Shan Yu Daji also felt solemn. He could not guarantee that his personal guards would be able to defeat these people trained by Zhang Beichen.
If Yan State really has so many powerful cavalry, then Donghu is indeed in danger!
Yu Manhe lost, feeling ashamed and angry. He said to Daji: "Da Shanyu, this person cannot be kept! If he lives, he will definitely become a big problem for me, Donghu!"
Daji looked at Zhang Beichen, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Beichen said calmly: "Da Shanyu, I am in Donghu now, and this cavalry is also training for Donghu."
"Besides, the generals of Yan have already mastered my training methods. There is no benefit in killing me now. Why don't you let me work for the Great Chanyu and train the cavalry!"
"There is no shortage of excellent knights in Donghu. As long as we have strong cavalry, it is not impossible to annex the Huns and march south to the Central Plains!"
Daji was greatly moved, and his staff also advised: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. It would be a pity to kill him!"
Daji laughed and said: "How can I be a narrow-minded person? Zhang Beichen, you have trained well! I will give you a big reward!"
"From now on, you will serve as my king's commander and train cavalry for my king!"
"Yes!" Zhang Beichen has successfully penetrated into Donghu.
As for helping Dong Hu train cavalry, of course he would train, but it was hard to say who this cavalry would fight in the future. Maybe they would fight their own people?
This is how Zhang Beichen settled down in Donghuan.
…
In the State of Yan, Yan Qingwu came to the imperial court.
The ministers reported that since Zhang Beichen went to Donghu, the Donghu people have never invaded the territory again.
Yan Qingwu couldn't help but miss Zhang Beichen, although Zhang Beichen had always been unruly and a bit mean to her.
But without him around, it seemed like there was a lot less fun.
"Zhang Beichen must be suffering at this time, right?" Yan Qingwu thought about the difficult conditions in a barren land like Donghu.
Moreover, the Donghu people are vicious. As a hostage of the enemy, Zhang Beichen must have suffered all the humiliation in Donghu!
Thinking of this, Yan Qingwu felt panicked in her heart.
"I should not have done this! I should not have sent Zhang Beichen as a hostage!"
"Donghu, I will definitely destroy you!"
…
At this time, countries have begun to enter a period of rapid expansion.
The Qin State has already captured the surrounding Rongdi tribe and is competing with the Wei State for the territory of the Yiqu State.
Both Korea and Zhao also conquered small countries such as Zhongshan and Song.
This time, the King of Chu went to destroy the Yue Kingdom first to prevent the previous demons from reappearing.
The Qi State fell into civil strife and split into two Qi States.
…
Time flies and another year has passed.
During this year, Zhang Beichen trained cavalry for the Great Chanyu in Donghu and achieved some success. As expected, the strength of the Donghu cavalry increased greatly and began to pose a threat to the Xiongnu.
For the time being, Donghu did not have the energy to invade Yan State.
Because the Xiongnu Chanyu Maotai was rising rapidly, which had threatened the security of Donghu.
There are two key turfs here.
One is the Kherulun Valley occupied by the Donghu people, and the other is the Tule Valley occupied by the Huns.
The nomadic people live in pursuit of water and grass. These two places are rich in water and grass. Both sides covet the other's territory and often fight.
Both sides built a large number of Outuo, a kind of earth fort, in the river valley for defense.
It can be said that as long as you occupy the opponent's river valley, you will have abundant resources and completely overturn your opponent.
Last time, Daji asked Maotai to pay tribute to him. Although Maotai agreed, the tribute items were much reduced.
Now, Daji has put all his attention on Maotai and is in no mood to care about Yanguo.
After all, the Yan State still had to face the Central Plains countries, and the Huns were right next to Donghu, threatening Donghu's base camp!
…
Zhang Beichen has been looking for a way to split Donghu. For more than a year, he finally found it.
The uneven distribution of interests among the three major Donghu tribes is a powder keg that has not yet been ignited.
At present, Daji's tribe is too strong and cannot find any problems for the time being.
We can only start with the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes.
Although the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes have always had conflicts, they are not at war with each other yet.
Zhang Beichen really discovered a blind spot.
Wuhuan Khan mentioned before that his daughter was naturally beautiful and was known as the most beautiful woman in Donghu. Even the great Dan Yu Daji has been thinking about her.
Zhang Beichen discovered that Dadan Yu Daji was thinking about Wuhuan Khan's daughter not only because he coveted her beauty, but also because Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen had no son!
This means that as long as you marry his daughter, you can legitimately annex the Wuhuan tribe!
Not only Daji thought this way, Xianbei Khan Yu Manhe also thought so, so he proposed marriage to Hao Zhen many times, hoping to marry his daughter. Hao Zhen always thought that his daughter was now a saint of Wuhuan and was not ready to get married. Rejected on the grounds of age.
The Wuhuan tribe and the Xianbei tribe have their own sacred mountains for worship, which are Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain respectively.
Zhang Beichen was very effective in training troops for the Great Chanyu, and Wuhuan Chanyu was on good terms with him, so he could freely enter the territory of the Wuhuan tribe.
At the foot of Wuhuan Mountain, Zhang Beichen came on horseback.
He shouted loudly at the foot of the mountain: "Ziyi, I'm coming!"
The sound echoed in the valley, and after a while, Zhang Beichen heard the ringing of a silver bell, and saw a purple figure riding a bay-red horse rushing towards him.
On the horseback sat a girl in purple clothes. She has healthy wheat-colored skin, no trace of fat on her calves and waist, has agile skills, and wears long thin braids that dance with the wind.
This is Hao Ziyi, the daughter of Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen.
She looks light and agile, but also has a bit of wild aura. These two feelings are not contradictory at all in her, but have a unique beauty.
"Brother Beichen, what good things have you brought me this time?" Hao Ziyi rode up to the front of Zhang Beichen, turned over and dismounted, and asked expectantly.
Hao Ziyi was ordered by his father to live near Wuhuan Mountain and never had the chance to go out, so he was very curious about things outside.
In particular, she often heard her father say that the Central Plains is a rich land with more treasures and new things than the grasslands.
Zhang Beichen, a native of Zhongyuan, naturally became her channel to contact the outside world.
Zhang Beichen took out an iron dagger from his bag and said, "This is the iron sword from the Central Plains. You can try it."
At this time, the Donghu people were all using bronze wares, and they did not have the technology to smelt iron.
Hao Ziyi held the iron sword, waved it a few times, and said in surprise: "It's so light!"
"And it's also sharp!" Zhang Beichen asked her to find a tree and try it, and it was true.
Hao Ziyi said happily: "Thank you, brother Beichen! Ziyi also has a gift for you!"
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite bone whistle from her bag and said, "I made this from the bones of monster beasts. I also specially prayed to the Wuhuan Mountain God to let the God give it spiritual power!"
"Brother Beichen, as long as you blow this bone whistle near Wuhuan Mountain, I can hear it!"
Zhang Beichen accepted the bone whistle and also thanked him.
Next, he accompanied Hao Ziyi to play together.
As a veteran driver, facing an innocent and romantic girl like Hao Ziyi, he is easy to catch.
Unknowingly, Hao Ziyi regarded him as his caring brother.
Of course, Xianbei Shanyu Manhe often made excuses to see Hao Ziyi, and Hao Ziyi didn't want to see him at all.
Yu Manhe always thought that he was very masculine, but he didn't know that the smell from him who often didn't take a shower made Hao Ziyi feel uncomfortable when he saw him.
So Yu Manhe has always been frustrated by Hao Ziyi.
[Spring has passed and autumn has come, and Hao Ziyi is about to come of age. According to tribal rules, the Wuhuan tribe will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her and marry her off at the same time. 】
