If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 733 Interception
King Bashan did not deny Xiaoyu's guess.

He said meaningfully: "This king is indeed on the side of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu and the Donghu are allies.

However, the overall interests of the "Hu People's Alliance" are not completely the same as the interests of the Xiongnu.

The interests of the Xiongnu are not completely the same as the interests of our demon race. Do you think this through?"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I have some vague ideas in my mind, but I am still not very clear about the relationship between the North Sea Demon God and the Xiongnu, as well as the grand strategy between the king and the Three Holy Ancestors. Please teach me, king."

King Bashan looked at the battlefield again.

After the Donghu people began to flee eastward, the Donghu camp, which was originally the main battlefield, was in a mess with dead bodies everywhere.

At this moment, all the gates of Daiyi City had been opened, and even the civilians in the city were released to start cleaning up the battlefield.

The remnants of the Donghu who retreated eastward were still scattered at this time, and had never been able to organize a complete rearguard force.

This was a real rout. The army was in disarray, and there was no order in how they fled. It was a mess, and they were even trampled on.

No one knew whether the Donghu King Kebineng was dead or not. He was nowhere to be seen on the battlefield, and no one heard him standing up to loudly boost morale or reorganize the troops.

The Meng family army was like a vicious wolves biting from behind. Although they were not fast, their claws and fangs were sharp and they didn't give them any chance at all.

"Alas, the Donghu people are completely finished. Let's go to the east and talk as we go."

King Bashan called Xiaoyu and took the lead to enter the Yanshan Mountains, using "qinggong" to travel through the snowy forest.

It is called "qinggong" because the two of them don't need to tap the ground with their feet to gain leverage.

However, there are no roads in the snow forest, the environment is very complex, and the space for movement is too small compared to high-altitude flight. From time to time, they will step on the snow, branches and tree trunks during rapid gliding.

It’s a bit like an ultra-high-end version of “Naruto on the Road”.

A single glide can go much further, possibly three or four miles unimpeded, without having to step on tree trunks or the ground.

The movements and postures are also more graceful and agile.

It doesn't have the power of a ninja stomping on a tree trunk and catapulting into the air, nor is it straight forward. The arc is obvious but irregular.

It often makes continuous 90-degree turns, completely violating the laws of motion mechanics, and is as smooth and ethereal as a wisp of flowing smoke in the forest.

The wild animals in the snow forest could not hear the sound of their movement, not even the whistling wind, nor could they see their traces. Suddenly, it seemed as if something floated past them, and they wanted to catch it, but it disappeared.

While using "Qinggong" to travel, King Bashan did not stop talking.

Use "inner force" to restrain the sound so that it only spreads between two people.

The Xianwu version of "The Secret of Sound Transmission".

“Before the Xiongnu people really became powerful, they had our demon tribe’s support behind them.

There are many barbarian tribes in the north and northwest of the Central Plains.

But why did the Xiongnu, Donghu and Yuezhi rise?
Of course, for them to rise, they must have their own destiny.

We will only invest and bet if there is destiny.

If it does not have the destiny, it is absolutely impossible to rely entirely on our demon race to help it grow and develop, and then obtain the destiny.

After all, we, the demon race, support them not out of charity, nor simply to rebel against the Qin Dynasty.

The main purpose of our demon tribe is to share the "human destiny" from the Xiongnu's national destiny."

Xiaoyu thought of the Beihuang Sand Dune Tribe where he was born.

Just looking at the situation at that time, the development of Sand Dune had almost reached a bottleneck: a population of 50,000 and 5,000 soldiers.

Sha Manyu, the "Mother of Dragon Veins", can allow Dune to continue to flourish in terms of systems and resources.

However, if they expand their territory and take in more wild barbarians to increase the population, they will inevitably encounter a large number of evil spirits, and the barbarians don't even know martial arts.

It is too lacking in mid-to-high-end combat power and is tens of thousands of miles away from the "Xisha Empire" that threatens Xishu.

There are so many human immortals in Western Shu and tens of thousands of true essence warriors. How can we fight them?
Even Xiaoyu, the instigator who raised the dragon vein, did not think that his tribe could threaten Xishu.

After listening to King Bashan's words and looking at the development patterns of the Xiongnu, Donghu, Yuezhi and Daqin in recent years, Xiaoyu had some understanding.

There is no doubt that in order to maintain its own rule, the Qin Dynasty treated foreign races in an extremely cruel and inhumane manner.

Even the remote Xisha region was dug up by the Miao people and their dragon veins were excavated. The Xiongnu, Donghu, and Yuezhi who lived next door to the Qin Dynasty would be even worse off.

Eight years ago, before the death of Emperor Renhuang, the development prospects of the Xiongnu might not have been comparable to those of the Northern Desert Dunes at that time.

The dunes at least have the "right to expand and develop", and more importantly, they have nurtured dragon veins and obtained the destiny!

As a result, within just a few years, the situation in the southern continent changed dramatically. The Huns, who were not as powerful as the Shaman, were able to cross the Great Wall defense line and plunder the Central Plains.

If the dragon veins of the sand dunes had not been cut off, and if the news spread that "the sand dunes in the northern wilderness actually gave birth to dragon veins and had the destiny to become the Xisha Empire", how many demons, immortals and otherworldly beings would come to the sand dunes to be "angel investors"?
If there had been no Taoist Qingsong, and if Xiaoyu had not been captured and taken to Tianmen Town, she would most likely have been able to come into contact with martial arts and immortal arts within a few years.

The Dune Tribe will surely thrive and prosper,

But her personal destiny will be very difficult to predict.

If the "national teacher" who invested in Beihuang Sand Dune was a "virtuous person" like Zhang Yuan (it's hard to say about Zhang Yuan's virtue. Dozens of cities in the North were massacred and the population decreased by one million. Zhang Yuan was the strategist, but he knew the destiny and was an "establishment man". He would not mess around and would not eat people and drink their blood directly), Xiaoyu would most likely be trained as a key person and then soar to the sky with Sand Dune.

Zhang Yuan is obviously willing to help the Xiongnu "people" grow and develop. She is a human, not a demon.

But if the one who invests in Beihuang is the evil spirit from Liusha River, Xiaoyu, the "dragon-raising person", will probably be in a very miserable situation.

Being robbed of one's destiny and fortune is considered a good thing.

They are more likely to have their souls extracted, their corpses refined, and be molested, making their lives worse than death.

Beihuang is located next to the Liusha River and Wanshou Mountain, but Xiaoyu feels that Wanshou Mountain is too conservative and low-key, a bit like an "old turtle", and it is more likely that the "original shareholder" is a demon.

When the Xisha Empire is established, Wanshoushan may send a "Xuanyin" to determine its own interest quota. But by then, the mother of the "Xisha Empire" will have turned to ashes.

Xiaoyu has seen enough now. If she were asked to choose again, she would probably still choose to meet Qingsong Taoist before the Xisha tribe's fortune exploded, rather than staying in the Beihuang Sand Dunes waiting for "angel investors".

Qingsong is undoubtedly vicious and cruel, and a bastard, but like Zhang Yuan, he has principles and abides by the rules.

What she feared most was the "chaotic evil" with a vicious and unruly personality. When she encountered it, it was useless to have a godfather because the gap in strength was too big.

Later on the journey, King Bashan told Xiaoyu about the "unfaithfulness" of the Huns.

Well, the Xiongnu people were ungrateful to the demons, and failed the "angel investors" who had helped and cared for them for thousands of years. The general content was similar to what she heard from Zhang Yuan and Xiu Ge's conversation. After the Xiongnu became prosperous, the human immortals also came to invest, intending to squeeze the original shareholders, the demons, out of the "board of directors".

Seeing that Xiongnu’s annual profit is increasing year by year, with a growth rate of more than 50%, it is inevitable that it will become a trillion-dollar giant (the destiny is clear, everyone can see it). How could Yaoshen Antique be willing to exit with a meager dividend?
“The annihilation of Xiu Ge and Zhang Yuan’s armies was indeed a huge blow to the overall strength of the Xiongnu.

But without them, it will be a good thing for us demons!

From then on, the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman and his cavalry commanders had to face up to a reality - relying solely on the scattered immortals of the human race, they could not defeat the Great Qin that had the support of the immortals from Shenzhou.

We must continue to rely on the power of our demon clan. The newly appointed 'King Zuo Guli' must be a member of our demon clan.

At least the 'great national teacher' who will assist the next King Zuo Guli is a demon god, or an immortal with demon blood.

Now, the Donghu are also finished.

If the new King Zuo Guli can swallow the Donghu, it will not only make up for the losses caused by Xiu Ge's defeat, but will also greatly enhance the strength and dragon energy of the Xiongnu, enhance the personal prestige of King Zuo Guli, and further enhance the control and influence of our demon tribe within the Xiongnu."

The "left" and "right" of the Xiongnu correspond to the "east" and "west" in terms of direction. The "left" is in the east, and the territory of the Zuoguli King is in the east, and the territory of the Donghu is also in the east. The two sides are close neighbors, so they joined forces to go south.

Now the Zuoguli King's tribe is injured and bleeding. They want to make "Zuo Xiongnu" great again, but they can't bite the Qin in the south, and their neighbor in the east is seriously ill and paralyzed in bed.
If it were a "modern civilized person", they would not be able to help but take the opportunity to chew it, let alone the Huns?
Xiao Yu asked, "This is the 'Monster Race Grand Strategy' that the Three Saint Ancestors gave us. Has it been finalized?"

King Bashan shook his head and said, “Even the Three Holy Ancestors could not predict the outcome of this battle.

Before this battle, Donghu had the mandate of heaven and should have been on smooth sailing.

Ever since Xiu Ge was killed by Fairy Fei Yu, the 'World Astrology Chart' has changed, the mysteries of heaven are obscure, and fate has changed."

Xiao Yu hesitated and said, "Are we now going to hunt down the remnants of the Donghu and ensure that the King of Donghu cannot return to the Chifeng Royal Court?

For such a big strategic shift, doesn't Your Majesty need to ask the Three Saints for instructions?"

Once the King of Donghu was killed, at least the "Hu People's Alliance" in the East would be completely over.

And do the allies in the north and the west still dare to fight side by side with the Huns to resist the Qin Dynasty as they did before?
What if I become injured and weak like the Donghu, and will I be annexed by the Xiongnu?

With this kind of mentality, the alliance is doomed.

And it was precisely because the Hu tribes united and formed an army of millions to attack the Great Wall from all directions that the Great Wall Corps was stretched thin and unable to defend itself.

Xiao Yu actually hoped that the "Hu People's Alliance" would be destroyed, so that next summer, a large number of Hu people would not go south across the Great Wall and massacre dozens of people in the city, leaving rivers of blood.

"What else do you want to ask?" King Bashan said disapprovingly, "The Third Saint Ancestor arranged for me to come here instead of someone else because he trusts my wisdom and judgment.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation and there is no need for excessive wisdom.

Although the Donghu and the Xiongnu had an alliance in the past, there were many conflicts between the two sides.

It is not an exaggeration to say that old grudges are as deep as the sea.

You see, the Donghu people would rather die under the city of Daiyi than allocate part of their military force to harass Yanshan County in the west and share the pressure with Xiu Ge.

If the Donghu people had cooperated with Xiu Ge wholeheartedly, they would not have suffered such a terrible defeat in this battle.

The defeat in this battle showed that the path of "Hu People Alliance" was simply not feasible.

We have to change our grand strategy. For example, we can learn from Emperor Ying Zheng, pacify the eight directions, and unify the Hu tribes on the grassland.

Hehe, now the Donghu has lost 300,000 elite soldiers. In the process of annexing the Donghu, it will definitely lose another batch of cavalry. It seems that the overall strength has declined.

But after two years, when the Xiongnu completely absorbed the Donghu, the pressure they brought to the Qin Dynasty would be greater than the previous alliance of the two tribes.

Just like when the Qin Dynasty conquered the six kingdoms, Shenzhou reached an unprecedented peak of prosperity. "

If Xiaoyu had studied the history of the Qin and Han dynasties in his previous life, he would not be surprised at all by King Bashan's "New Strategy for the Unification of the Hu People".

In her previous life on Earth, the Xiongnu first destroyed the Donghu and Yuezhi, and completely unified all other Hu tribes outside the Central Plains, before becoming a real threat to the Han Dynasty.

It was actually very abnormal that the Donghu, Xiongnu and Yuezhi could establish a "Hu alliance" during this era.

Although the Qin Dynasty bullied the surrounding barbarians badly and did all kinds of immoral things, this does not mean that the barbarian tribes were a loving family.

The blood feud and conflict between them were greater than the hatred between any other Hu tribe and the Qin Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Qin Dynasty plundered the Taoists and cut off the dragon veins was only to protect its own kingdom, not to compete with the surrounding barbarians for survival resources.

If the northern barbarians had never moved south to the Central Plains, the Great Wall would never have been built.

Emperor Ying Zheng did not build the entire Great Wall. He simply connected the Great Walls built in the past by countries such as Yan and Zhao.

As long as the Qin Dynasty could ensure that the northern barbarians could not threaten its rule, it did not bother to pay attention to their daily lives.

However, "survival wars" often broke out between the Hu tribes over a pasture or a stream.

If you occupy the grassland, your tribe will survive, but my tribe will starve to death.

What concerns the survival of a race is often an irreconcilable blood feud.

Just like Xiaoyu's northern desert dunes.

Before the arrival of Qingsong Taoist Boy and Hu Chen, the biggest enemy of the Shaqiu tribe had never been Xishu.

Western Shu is too far away from Shaman.

Nor are there any goblins around, as there are relatively few of them.

The main enemy of the Dune Barbarians is the wild Barbarians around them!
While Xiaoyu was forging iron tools in the sand dunes, Shatou led his people to fight in all directions.

Kill all men, old and young, and only keep young and healthy women.

After Xiaoyu taught Shaman many times, Shaqiu changed its strategy from bloody massacre to recruiting people as civilians.

In just a few years, the population swelled from two or three hundred to fifty thousand.

It can continue to increase, but the sand dunes are too narrow to support them.

The Donghu, Xiongnu, Yuezhi and other Hu people in this world are of the same character as the barbarians in the dunes of the northern wilderness.

The reason they were able to form an alliance instead of fighting among themselves was because there was a demon god controlling the situation from behind.

One of the "chess players" of the Three Saints now seems to have the intention of rewriting the rules first.
