While China was expeditioning Goryeo in the east, wars broke out in Beihu.

On the grassland, strength proves everything.

The strong meat and weak food are the unspoken rules of the grassland.

The tribes returned after defeat and their strength changed. The powerful Xiongnu Zuoxian King, Cheriji King of the clan, Murong Yadan, and Hu Wang Mi of the King of Lushui took the opportunity to send troops to annex the tribes and other small tribes that were greatly damaged in the war.

The Hu tribes in the north were the most powerful.

The Huns suffered heavy losses in recent years, and the battle with China suffered heavy losses. Due to the large population of the Huns, abundant money and food, and a strong foundation is far from comparable to other Hu tribes, the Huns are still the most powerful tribe on the grassland.

Among the Huhu in the north, the Huns knew the culture of the Central Plains best. They fought with China in northern border counties in China for nearly a thousand years. Many of their people were mixed-race children of the Huns and Han people.

The Han Dynasty mostly implemented a policy of marriage, and many royal princesses married into the Huns, bringing books, culture, technology, etc. from the Central Plains to the Huns.

Therefore, many of the Huns' thoughts and ideas are consistent with Han culture.

At least they think that cannibalism is a barbaric act.

After the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang returned to his tribe, he heard that the Youxianwang was defeated and killed. His entire army was destroyed. He sent troops to the Youxianwang's territory and threatened the Youxianwang's tribes under the Youxianwang surrender.

Then he convened a alliance of various tribes in the Xiongnu royal court, forcing the leaders of various tribes of the Xiongnu to recognize his dominance, and issued an edict to the Hu people on the grassland and the countries in the Western Regions to call themselves Zuoxian Shanyu.

The nine major Shihu territories are adjacent to the Xiongnu territories and have relatively strong tribes. They are one of the tribes among the surrounding Hus that dare to fight against the Xiongnu.

This time, the attack on Jinyang County of China suffered a considerable loss during the evacuation, but it did not hurt its vitality.

While King Zuo Xian unified the Huns, the nine Shihu kings sent troops to attack and annex the weak tribes around them.

Because these tribes depended on the Huns for a long time, they went to Zuoxian Shanyu to face an emergency.

Zuo Xian Shanyu used this as an excuse to send troops to the court of the nine Shihu kings, and won in one battle, forcing the nine Shihu kings to sign the alliance under the city, and the nine Shihu kings had no choice but to rely on the Huns.

Zuo Xian Shanyu named the nine stone Hu kings as the right wise king.

Since then, the nine Shihu counties have been annexed by the Huns and become the Hun tribe.

The Xianbei tribe was the latest and most barbaric and ignorant nation in the Northern Hu.

During the Central Plains' separatist rule, the Xianbei King conquered the county town of Yecheng, massacred all the men in the city, and plundered nearly 100,000 girls in Yecheng. He ate these girls as military rations during the day, which shocked the Central Plains.

When Cao Cao and Jin Xuan heard about it, they were both furious. They worked together to cut off the Xianbei soldiers' return route and annihilate all the Xianbei soldiers who caused the Yecheng tragedy. The Xianbei King also died in this battle.

The Xianbei princess and princess were captured and were taken into the Western Prince's Mansion by Cao Cao because of his beauty.

Later, the Xianbei princess assassinated Cao Cao, and both mother and daughter died.

When Yadan heard the news, he wanted to wait for his troops to take revenge, but with the strength of the Xianbei tribe, it was difficult to get what he wanted.

Yadan had deep hatred and secretly gathered his strength to wait for the opportunity to hate him.

King Goryeo invited Zhuhu to join the alliance, and Yadan took the lead in responding and volunteered to attack Yecheng, hoping to avenge his parents and sisters.

Unexpectedly, the defense soldiers of Yecheng County City were elite soldiers of Zhang Fei's army, and they had strong combat power.

Not only did Yadan not conquer the city, but instead suffered losses of troops and generals, and all the food, grass and supplies were taken away.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Yadan immediately decided to retreat overnight, but the loss of troops was not large.

The Tiefu King, who was adjacent to the Xianbei territory, suffered heavy losses. The 300,000 elite troops of the tribe lost 150,000 in the battle of invading China, and his vitality was severely damaged.

Yadan led his troops to a great battle with Tiefu soldiers, laying the foundation for victory.

King Tiefu was defeated and led the remaining troops to surrender to the Xianbei.

After Yadan's annexation of Tiefu, he continued to send troops to accumulate surrounding tribes, and his strength increased greatly.

The Hu king of Lushui was a great king, and he had a high prestige and strong strength among the Hu Hu.

Seeing that wars on the grassland began, the heroes took the opportunity to expand their strength and were unwilling to fall behind. They sent troops to Dingling and Jie tribes, annexing the two major tribes, and their power expanded rapidly.

During the reshuffle of Beihu County Xiong, King Cheriji of the clan was the biggest beneficiary.

The clan's original territory was in the eastern part of the Western Regions. As the water plants gradually withered, the population gradually increased, and gradually developed eastward along the water source.

The clan is a barbarian tribe that has not been in the past, and the tragic incidents of cannibalism occur frequently among the clan tribes. In their eyes, there is no big difference between humans and other animals.

The clan has weak strength and a small population. Among the tribes in the western grassland, it is weaker than the Qiang and White Huns.

In the Battle of Xiliang, the entire Qiang army was destroyed, and the Qiang King Kebilong was defeated and the Qiang strength was greatly reduced.

Cheriji seized the opportunity and unified the soldiers attacked the Qiang tribe, and won the battle, forcing the Qiang elders to finally bow to the clan.

The White Huns belong to a typical white ethnic group, and their distant ancestors moved here from the West due to their defeat.

The Bai Xiongnu sent troops to Xiliang this time, gathering 300,000 elite men from the entire clan to join the Qiang tribe, and they are determined to win.

Unexpectedly, the Western Liang garrison generals Lu Bu and Pang Tong were brave and resourceful. In the two battles, the White Huns lost 250,000 soldiers, and only 50,000 soldiers left for fleeing tribes.

After Cheliji's annexation of the Qiang tribe, his strength increased greatly. He took advantage of the time for powerful tribes such as the Huns to look west and sent troops to attack the Bai Xiongnu.

The White Hun King Laji gathered the warriors of the clan and fought against Cheriji. The White Huns' entire army was destroyed, and Laji was defeated and died.

The personal soldiers protected the White Hun Princess and others, killed the siege, escaped by luck, and took refuge in Chang'an, China.

The success of King Cheriji of the clan is entirely due to the former kings.

The former kings were interested in Central Plains culture. At the age of eight, Cheriji began to hire Han people as his teachers, and later sent him to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places for training.

Because of the accumulation of learning and accumulation of Central Plains culture, the clan developed rapidly after Cheriji ascended the throne. The clan members were influenced by Cheriji and actively studied Central Plains culture.

The Qiang tribe that the clan annexed this time has a territory adjacent to China. It is a relatively civilized tribe among the Huhu in the north.

After a new round of reshuffle, the four major tribes of Northern Hu had their power from east to west, including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Lushuihu, and clans.

The four major tribes have similar military systems, except for personal soldiers, no conventional army was established.

The young and strong herders from various tribes grew up on horseback. After receiving the combat order, they each prepared weapons, armor, and horses. After gathering, they became an elite cavalry.

Arriving on horses is a soldier, and dismounting on horses for the people has greatly alleviated the financial pressure of the Hu tribe.

The current forces of the four major tribes are: 900,000 in the Xiongnu, 750,000 in the Xianbei, 700,000 in the Lushuihu, and 800,000 in the clan.

The forces of the four major tribes are not very different, and they dare not take the lead in provoking each other.

Zuo Xian Shanyu of the Xiongnu heard that China was training cavalry and wanted to sweep the grasslands, and dated Cheriji, Yadan, and Midangwang to discuss countermeasures against Chinese cavalry.

The four Hu kings gathered together, and Zuo Xian Shanyu said: I heard that China is training cavalry and intends to attack the grasslands in the north. I would like to ask you all for advice.

When Yadan heard this, he looked disdainful and said: Chinese soldiers rely on the strong city and are good at using terrain to win by tricks.If he dares to come to the grassland to fight, the Xianbei warriors will surely kill them.

Cheriji said: King Xianbei should not underestimate the enemy.Chinese soldiers have excellent weapons and advanced equipment.Jin Xuanxiong was talented and had a neat general, and was experienced in many battles.There are many resourceful people in the army who are good at designing and planning.The Chinese army is a strong enemy. If the four tribes join forces to fight the grasslands, the number of winners and losses is unknown.If each tribe fights independently, it will be divided by the other party, with more losses and less victory.The four major tribes form an alliance and advance and retreat together, and the Chinese cavalry is not worthy of fear.

Mysterious and powerful king's way: We all have our own territory and a vast territory, so it is not easy for a large army to gather troops.If he does not fight our army after gathering troops, our army will spend its time.What should we do if he takes advantage of the situation and attacks elsewhere?

Cherigi said: Chinese soldiers are good at concentrating their forces to gather annihilate them. When the other army comes to the grassland, they echo each other from afar, and the legions will not be too far away.We gathered our troops to besiege all the troops, and other legions would definitely come to rescue them, even if they did not want to fight us, they would not be able to avoid it.What's more, the speed of his march is not as fast as ours, and he will not be able to retreat at that time. We gather heavy troops to attack together, and we can attack with one strike.

Everyone realized that what Cheriji said was reasonable and had no objection.Zuo Xian Shanyu and four others killed the horse and vowed to fight against China together.

This alliance is called the meeting of the four heroes.
