Many children bring happiness, starting from marrying a wife and starting to dominate the world

The barbarians have no fixed residence all year round. They live by water and grass and lead a herding life.

Now they are asked to find a place to settle down all at once, to build a country, and to farm the land. How can they get used to it?

Therefore, the people of Daxia are very important. Yelu Nanyan's idea is to ease the relationship between the people of Daxia and the barbarians, and then let the barbarians integrate into the farming culture of Daxia.

As a result, when the people of Daxia heard that the barbarians were coming, they all ran away. So what was the use of leaving the barbarians to occupy this area of ​​Beijun?

Without the people of Daxia, is it possible to let people like them who graze all year round farm the land?

They have no experience at all in cultivating good land. If they cannot integrate into the farming culture, even if they occupy the land in Bei County, they will still have to go south to plunder it in the future.

Going south to plunder will directly conflict with Daxia's core interests. Those vassal kings and aristocratic families who originally cooperated with the barbarians will inevitably unite and send an army northward. By that time, it is hard to say whether the barbarians can hold Beijun. .

The barbarians are good at cavalry and have high mobility. It would be fine if they were to attack a city and let them defend the city, but they have no experience at all.

This is very detrimental to them.

At this time, Xiao Hongbo was riding on a horse, standing on a high grassland slope, looking in the direction of Yancheng.

After a while, a cavalry group in the distance quickly approached their large army.

It's Xiao Pengtian and the others who are back.

Xiao Hongbo quickly turned to look at the army led by Xiao Pengtian. Xiao Pengtian came to Xiao Hongbo at this time, his face a little solemn.

"Your Majesty, all the cities we visited are deserted. Most of the people in Daxia have moved to the south."

"We captured a few Daxia people. According to their accounts, the King of the North issued an order a long time ago to move all the people to the south. He will lead 30,000 soldiers from Beijun to fight us to the death in Yancheng."

Hearing this, Xiao Hongbo was stunned for a moment.

Then he asked in disbelief: "The King of the North wants to fight us to the death in Yancheng?"

Although Xiao Hongbo has never met Bei Wang, he has heard about what kind of person Bei Wang is from Daxia's caravan. Bei Wang is a useless prince who is ignorant and greedy for pleasure.

After King Bei came to Beijun, he lived and drank in the palace every day and never took care of Beijun.

Moreover, Beiwang seems to be only 17 years old at most this year. Although 17-year-olds are considered adults in this era, most 17-year-olds are still children in the eyes of others.

Bei Wang is no exception in Xiao Hongbo's eyes. In his opinion, Bei Wang is just a little kid.

He always thought that as soon as the King of the North heard the news of his going south, the yellow-mouthed kid would be so frightened that he would run away like shit.

Now Xiao Pengtian actually told him that instead of running away, King Bei was waiting in Yancheng to fight him to the death.

This loser actually dares to say that he will fight to the death?

To the barbarian cavalry, 30,000 soldiers are nothing, they are just a group of two-legged sheep with weapons.

Xiao Pengtian said at this time: "Your Majesty, this is what the people we captured said. It is said that the imperial court issued an order to King Bei, asking him to defend Beijun and not to escape."

Of course the common people didn't know that the imperial court had given King Bei an order to defend Bei County. The common people had guessed this on their own.

After all, King Bei gave people the impression that he was a useless prince. Now he suddenly said that he would fight to the death with the barbarians in Bei County. This was impossible no matter how they thought about it, so the people felt that this was actually an order from the court, forcing King Bei to guard Yan. city.

After hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, Xiao Hongbo laughed and said: "Hahahaha, yes, how could that yellow-mouthed kid dare to fight against my king's cavalry?"

"Emperor Xia is planning to completely give up on this good-for-nothing prince."

Xiao Hongbo accepted Xiao Pengtian's statement. He also felt that this was a fatal order given by the Daxia court to the Northern King not to retreat, so the Northern King had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend Yancheng.

To occupy the entire North County in a short period of time, they must pass through the Wanning River Valley, and Yancheng is located below the Wanning River Valley, so Yancheng and the others must capture it.

Perhaps from Daxia's point of view, the geographical location of Yancheng is better. Let the Northern King guard Yancheng, and the barbarians can be blocked to the north of Yancheng.

In fact, this idea is correct. If it were in the past, the barbarians would most likely not attack Yancheng directly.

Because in the past the barbarians mainly went south to grab food and women, other cities north of Yancheng could meet the needs of the barbarians.

In addition, in the past, they were mainly cavalry and had no siege equipment. It would be impossible to capture a city like Yancheng with tens of thousands of soldiers within a few months.

But this time it was different. This time they wanted to take over the entire North County, and they had prepared siege equipment from the beginning.

It is not difficult at all to capture Yancheng.

Then Xiao Hongbo said loudly: "Immediately give the order and rush to Yancheng as quickly as possible. I want to capture the yellow-mouthed kid from Beiwang! We can't let him run away!"

After hearing Xiao Hongbo's words, the soldiers behind him immediately blew the horn.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian reminded: "Your Majesty, it is better to be careful. There are only 30,000 soldiers in Yancheng. How could the Northern King say such a thing as fighting us to the death?"

"In my opinion, a vanguard force should be sent to investigate the situation first, and then the army can be sent south."

Xiao Pengtian always felt that something was wrong, and everything about this matter was weird.

If the North King really wanted to resist the barbarians from going south, it would be impossible to remove all the defenses north of Yancheng.

Although the cities north of Yancheng are not as strong as the walls of Yancheng, it will still take time for the barbarians to conquer those cities.

If the barbarians spend time attacking those cities, they will buy Yancheng enough time.

In this way, some vassal kings in Daxia had time to dispatch troops and generals to the north to assist the Northern King in resisting the barbarians.

Although the Daxia court did not dare to send troops at will at this time, the Daxia court would definitely ask the vassal kings to send troops, but the vassal kings were relatively slow to send troops.

It stands to reason that the longer Beijun delays, the more likely it is that the North King will defend Xiabei County.

Even if the King of the North doesn't understand anything, the soldiers around him should understand the importance of those cities in the North, right?

As a result, King Bei evacuated all the soldiers and people from those cities.

This made Xiao Pengtian smell a conspiracy.

Hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, Xiao Hongbo laughed loudly, and then said: "Xiao Pengtian, you are just too cautious."

"Do you know why you were not selected as the Sirius King by the elders? It's because you are too indecisive and not straightforward enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongbo rode his horse and ran directly towards Yancheng, leaving Xiao Pengtian alone.

Looking at Xiao Hongbo's back, Xiao Pengtian just sighed.

He didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy inside, as if something bad was about to happen.
