Cao Yin whispered: "The Northwest Legion of Qing Kingdom dare not easily be transferred to Nanyang County for battle. After all, there are more than 20,000 Wei troops on the other side of the Wumu River. Although these 20,000 people are dragging the Northwest Legion of Qing Kingdom,... If the Northwest Legion really transfers its troops to the Nanyang line, in the empty space, the Wei people may not dare to attack. The Wei army dare not advance from the Wumu River because the Qing army in Wumu River is equipped with sufficient force and has enough strength to defend the Wumu River. However, once the troops are transferred, the deployment of the troops will be vacant, and the Wei people may not be able to find a gap...!"

"What about the Northeast Corps?" Han Mo asked: "The Northeast Corps also has 40,000 to 50,000 people, which is also a large number."

Cao Yin touched his delicate nose and smiled and said, "Don't think that Qinghou's country is peaceful." He leaned forward slightly and whispered: "Most of the fiefs of the Qinghou tribe are gathered in the northeastern region of Qingguo. The four northeastern counties are all fiefs of the Qinghou tribe. Above the fiefs, there are many manors. In addition to military power, the Hou party holds great power there. You may not know that the fiefs of the Qinghou tribe always need to be cultivated. The number of strong men in the manors of the four northeastern counties is a terrifying number. Not to mention this, the northeastern part of the Qingguo, especially Gaoyang County, is the most barbaric place, and it can be said to be the most special county government in the Qingguo."

Song Shiqing hurriedly said, "Marty, it is said that Gaoyang County was originally a barbarian land. It has been a bit difficult to tame since Qi State. The people there considered themselves to be Northern Barbarians, and it is even more difficult to civilize than Feng State...!"

Cao Yin smiled and said, "If you really want to talk about it, this is also the disaster that Qi State planted itself."

Han Moqi said: "How do you say this?"

"The greatest cause of Qi in the past two hundred years was to completely defeat the Northern Barbarians and dare not spy on the land of our Central Plains." Cao Yin sighed: "The Northern Barbarians live in the north of Qing Kingdom. Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, they have always been a confidant of the Central Plains. As we all know, the Northern Barbarians wandered in the northern part of Qi for almost all their years, and they would invade the territory of Qi every few days, burn, kill, loot, and destroy. The defenders of the northern part of Qi were not the enemy of the Northern Barbarians at all."

Song Shiqing sighed: "To the north of Qing Kingdom, it is a desert area of ​​thousands of miles. The Northern Barbarians live in the desert. Such an environment makes these barbarians extremely powerful and extremely cruel. Hundreds of Northern Barbarian tribes are also killing each other and fighting continuously...!"

"Mr. Song said this to the point." Cao Yin smiled and said, "If the Northern Barbarians were united and united, I am afraid that Qi would not be able to defeat the Northern Barbarians later."

Han Mo seemed to understand something and said carefully: "Later, it was also said that Qi later took advantage of the internal friction of the Northern Barbarians?"

Cao Yin still admired Han Mo's understanding and said, "That was more than a hundred years after the founding of the Qi Dynasty. In the past hundred years, the Qi Dynasty was harassed by the Northern Barbarians and launched many large-scale expeditions. However, the Northern Barbarians had yellow sand everywhere and were boundless. The Qi army penetrated into the desert and could not find the main force of the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians were like fish in water in the desert. Although the national strength was far less than that of the Qi Dynasty, the Qi army penetrated into the desert and was in the thoughts of the Northern Barbarians. The Qi Dynasty entered the desert three times, which cost a lot of money, although occasionally

He won several small-scale battles, but these three northern expeditions ended in failure. Countless warriors were buried in the desert, and their souls were unable to return home...!" He paused, sighed lightly, and continued: "Until the 14 emperors of Qi Chaori, Emperor Qi Yong, ascended the throne, and finally reigned for thirty-two years, the national policy was set to be the barbarians of the Beiping. However, this Emperor Qi Yong was a saint. He knew that the Northern Barbarians were not eliminated quickly, so in the early days of ascension, he underwent tremendous pressure to seek peace with the Northern Barbarians, and even married the princess to the Northern Barbarians, and even allowed to trade with the Northern Barbarians...!"

Song Shiqing was attentive and Han Mo also listened carefully, but he was extremely agile. When he saw Cao Yin's cup of tea, he hurried forward to pour tea for Cao Yin's cup.

Cao Yin smiled gently and continued: "At that time, Qi Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians were a place of life and death. Countless Qi Dynasty soldiers died at the hands of the Northern Barbarians. Naturally, countless people opposed these measures by Emperor Qi Yong. Many people even thought that Emperor Qi Yong was a foolish monarch who was in vain and was scolded by many upright ministers. Emperor Qi Yong was not ruthless. Although he did not kill these people, he detained all the ministers who advised him to prison. Emperor Qi Yong used tough measures to implement his own measures, and the merchants of the Qi Dynasty were extremely welcome to trade strategies. After all, the Northern Barbarians loved the items in the Central Plains very much, so the two sides entered a period of peace for more than ten years. Although the Northern Barbarians also launched small-scale looting on the border of Qi from time to time, there was no war between the two sides for more than ten years."

Han Mo said: "This is a strategy for cultivating and resting? If the ministers were not wrong, this business was probably a guise. The actual purpose was to understand the geographical conditions and tribal composition of the Northern Barbarians through merchants. The military strategy said, "Know yourself and your enemy and win every battle." The Qi Dynasty suffered several major defeats before, probably because it did not have enough understanding of the Northern Barbarians."

Cao Yin laughed and said, "Han Mo, you are right. The so-called real man can bend and stretch. What Emperor Qi Yong did before was just to endure a moment of energy and work hard to govern. Taking advantage of the relative peace, the national strength of the Qi Dynasty rose rapidly and was ready to fight again. However, the Northern Barbarians were confused by the Qi Dynasty's affinity policies. They thought that Emperor Qi Yong was really afraid of them, and their guard gradually relaxed. They were barbarians after all, and their brains were no match for us people in the Central Plains. A large number of merchants went deep into the Northern Barbarians and explored a large amount of geographical and human resources information."

Han Mo smiled and said, "My subordinates have always felt that the merchant is a spy from Ming Chu!"

"In addition, various frictions occurred between the Northern Barbarian tribes. At that time, the largest tribe of the Northern Barbarians was the Unshin Nai tribe. Countless small tribes were bullied by them and had great resentment towards them. After the death of the chief of the Unshin Nai tribe, his two sons, Noshin Naimoto and Noshin Nairi, fought for the position of chief. In the inter-fight between the Unshin Nai tribe, many small tribes joined forces to launch an attack on the Unshin Nai tribe. At this point, the Northern Barbarians' largest fight was fought.

The internal strife began and lasted for several years. The power of the Northern Barbarians was not as strong as that of the Qi Dynasty. When this civil war broke out, it was even weaker. At this time, Emperor Yong of Qi had quietly mobilized a large number of troops and launched a sudden attack on the Northern Barbarians with the map drawn by geographical information obtained by the merchants for more than 20 years." Speaking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "If I don't tell me the result of the war, you will naturally guess it!"

Song Shiqing said excitedly: "Great victory!"

"No," Cao Yin smiled and said, "The victory of a great victory, and the civil war between the Northern Barbarians has exhausted the Northern Barbarians. The Qi army arrived like a heavenly soldier. The Northern Barbarians caught them off guard, and countless casualties were killed or injured. They were even more than 100,000 prisoners by the Qi army... The remnants of the Northern Barbarians retreated all the way north and were no longer able to invade the Central Plains."

"How to deal with those more than 100,000 prisoners?" Han Mo asked.

Cao Yin said: "This is exactly what we said just now, the difference between Gaoyang County. Emperor Yong of Qi was very talented and had a weak heart, but in the end, he did not execute these prisoners. The men, women, young and old of the Northern Barbarians were placed in Gaoyang County today, and those people still live in Gaoyang County. Although more than a hundred years have passed, their living habits are exactly the same as those of us Central Plains people, the descendants of the Northern Barbarians did not forget their origins and still called themselves the Northern Barbarians... Therefore, out of the 50,000 Northeast Legion, 20,000 people were deployed in Gaoyang County alone to prevent these still rude Northern Barbarians from turmoil."

"So that's it!" Han Mo suddenly realized.

Cao Yin said calmly: "There are a large number of manors of the Houdang in the northeast, and there are descendants of the Northern Barbarians. In recent years, it is said that the traces of the Northern Barbarians who flew far away appeared in the north of Mobei... In all these, if the 50,000 troops in the northeast of Qing State, if something happens, they will probably be a little stretched. How dare you transfer to Nanyang County? The Northeast Legion and the Northwest Legion are not redirected. Although the Qing State still has more than 100,000 border troops, they always have to leave most of the defenses. In this way, think about it, how many regular troops can Shang Zhongli be available? Even if you gather one for a while,

Some civilians have not been trained and have no experience on the battlefield. How effective can they have when facing the Wei army like a wolf cavalry? So this Hou said that Shang Zhongli can really use it to deal with the military forces of Wei, and it is not very generous...!" After a pause, he continued to smile and said, "So, Qing State is mainly guarded... but Shang Zhongli is a master in defensive battles. In the defense, he seizes the fighter's opportunity and then bites his opponent. So putting aside other things, just about this battle, the showdown between Shang Zhongli and Sima Qingtian must be a very exciting battle!"
