Northern Borderline.
The grassland was vast, tens of millions of miles long.
Its territory was even larger than Great Qin's.
Although the land was vast and sparsely populated, the total number of people in each tribe had reached ten million.
This was still far from Great Qin's 30 million people.
However, the Hu people of the Northern Borderline lived on horseback all year round and had been influenced by riding and archery since childhood.
It could be said that any adult Hu on the plains would be able to survive.
They were all excellent and qualified cavalrymen.
As such, apart from a few elite and trump card Cavalrymen, Great Qin's Cavalrymen had also become the strongest Cavalrymen.
Their overall strength was inferior to the Hu of the Northern Borderline.
......
The Hu were just a general term for the nomads of the steppe.
There were tens of nomadic tribes of various sizes scattered across the vast plains.
Among them, the largest Xiongnu was located in the northernmost region.
Their population, military strength, and land area were far beyond the reach of other tribes.
It could be said that the strength of the Xiongnu was comparable to the combined strength of all the other Hu tribes.
It was also because of this strength that the Xiongnu had been expanding southward over the years, gradually encroaching on the territory of other tribes.
Wherever the Xiongnu cavalry passed by, tribes of all sizes were terrified.
They would either submit or be slaughtered.
There was no other choice. This was the law of survival on the grasslands.
However, when the Xiongnu people went deep into the original hinterland, the arrogant Xiongnu people finally encountered tenacious resistance and could not advance any further.
The source of this resistance was the alliance formed by the five largest tribes on the grasslands, excluding the Xiongnu.
The Five Hu Alliance was formed by the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Jie, Qiang, and Di tribes!
......
On the boundless grassland.
Thousands of tents surrounded a tall and majestic king's tent.
In the tent, five men with strong auras gathered.
The one sitting at the top was the current king of the Xianbei tribe, Tuoba Ye!
As for the others, they were the King of Wuhuan and Helian Gui.
King Jie, Schleswig. King Qiang, King Di…
In the tent, the five of them had extremely strong auras. The lowest of them was at least at the third-grade Vajra Realm.
Amongst them, the Xianbei King Tuoba Ye's aura was as deep as the ocean, suppressing the other four.
A deep scar ran across his chiseled face, making him look especially terrifying.
Looking at the other four, Tuoba Ye said,""Everyone!"
"Now that the Xiongnu are powerful, we can only form an alliance to resist them.”
"Now that the five clans have joined forces and united as one, we can barely resist the Xiongnu.”
"This is not a long-term solution. Do you have any countermeasures to get out of this predicament?”
After Tuoba Ye finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
However, the rest of them had worried expressions.
Aren't you talking nonsense?
If there was a countermeasure, he would have used it long ago. Why wait until now?
The four of them shook their heads in unison.
Tuoba Ye smiled when he saw this.
"Since there is no countermeasure, I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up as they looked at Tuoba Ye with burning gazes.
The Wuhuan King, Helian Gui, asked impatiently,"Brother Tuoba, what countermeasures do you have?”
The others also looked at Tuoba Ye expectantly.
Tuoba Ye smiled lightly and pointed at the grassland map in the tent.
"Everyone, calm down and listen to me one by one.”
"As everyone knows, we are in an awkward situation.”
"In the north, there is the powerful Xiongnu, and in the south, there is the powerful Great Qin Empire.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded, not understanding what Tuoba Ye meant.
This was common sense. How could they not know?
It was precisely because they were mixed in between the two giants.
That was why he was restricted everywhere and survived in the cracks.
Tuoba Ye paused and raised his voice,
"Everyone, if you want to choose one of these two sides as your enemy…"
"Which side will you choose?"
Yes, the moment he said that.
Everyone looked thoughtful.
If he had to choose one of the two sides to be his enemy, which side would he choose?
The Xiongnu people were savage and valiant, and they started off as cavalry.
They believed that they had no advantage against the Xiongnu cavalry.
As for the Qin country…
Thinking of this, King Jie's eyes widened."Brother Tuoba is saying... Attack the Qin Country?"
Tuoba Ye smiled and a trace of yearning flashed across his face."That's right!"
"What I mean is to attack the Qin country.”
As he said this, Tuoba Ye looked around.
"We grassland tribes graze for a living and depend on the sky to eat.”
"In a year of disaster, you will go hungry and suffer from famine.”
"As for the Qin Country, they occupy the fertile land of the Central Plains and have a bumper harvest year after year.”
"Everyone, aren't you jealous?"
The four of them looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.
It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous.
Then, they would be able to harvest in autumn and not have to worry about it all year round.
Such a prosperous and stable life made them envious.
However, so what if he was jealous? Would Ying Zheng give up his land to you?
Thinking of this, Schleswig spoke out everyone's thoughts.
"Brother Tuoba, even if you're jealous, the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six states and unified the Central Plains.”
"Ying Zheng, who has built such a prosperous country in just over ten years, is indeed a ruthless character.”
"Moreover, it is rumored that the armored soldiers and iron hooves of the Qin country are also incomparably brave, not inferior to the Xiongnu tribe…"
At this moment, Tuoba Ye stretched out his hand and interrupted Schleswig.
He took out a piece of animal skin from his clothes and spread it out on the table.
Everyone looked up and found that it was also a map.
It was just that on this map, the grassland and the Qin country's neighboring areas were marked in great detail.
Tuoba Ye pointed at a dotted line on the map that ran from east to west.
"Everyone, do you know what this dotted line represents?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Tuoba Ye spat out two words,"The Great Wall!”
"The Great Wall?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Tuoba Ye nodded,"That's right, it's the Great Wall!"”
"Last year, the State of Qin began to work on this Great Wall that stretches tens of millions of miles from east to west.”
"And their goal is to keep us grassland people outside the Qin country forever.”
"In other words, this decision might be our last chance to take over the Central Plains.”
"If the Great Wall is truly completed, Ying Zheng will only need to send a small number of troops to guard the border, and the border will be safe.”
"As for us, we can only drink our horses outside the Great Wall and watch the rich Central Plains sigh in despair!”
......
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.
But so what? Ying Zheng was still not to be trifled with.
What did this have to do with the Great Wall?
Although Tuoba Ye was tempted by everyone, he still hesitated.
"As far as I know, Qin destroyed the six countries and pacified the Central Plains.”
"The remaining forces of the six dynasties are lurking everywhere, ready to make a move.”
"And the Qin country first fought a series of battles, and the soldiers were tired.”
"Later, there was a large-scale construction project, the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the construction of the Great Wall, and it was said that Xianyang City even built something like Epang Palace.”
"At this time, the Qin country's treasury is definitely empty, and it's in a situation of internal and external trouble.”
At this point, Tuoba Ye raised his voice again,"Everyone!"
"I have already reached an agreement with the Xiongnu.”
"We will hand over the grasslands and take the tribesmen into the Central Plains.”
"We proclaimed ourselves emperor in the Central Plains, enslaved the Qin people, and made them grow food for us.”
"When the time comes, we can perfect the Great Wall and keep the Xiongnu outside the grasslands.”
"In the entire world, if we join forces, we will be invincible.”
"From now on, we no longer have to live a life of vagrancy.”
"Enjoy the prosperity of the Central Plains forever, everyone…Are you willing?"
......
In the tent, the kings of the four tribes heard this.
She was already overwhelmed with emotions and her face was flushed red.
The Central Plains proclaimed themselves emperor and enslaved the Qin people…
Perfecting the Great Wall, resisting the Xiongnu...
Ending the vagrant life and enjoying the prosperity of the Central Plains forever…
"Phew!" "I'm willing!" Schleswig stood up.”
Then, Helian Gui also stood up.""On behalf of the Wuhuan, I agree!"
In the end, the kings of the other three clans stood up."We are willing!"
......
Tuoba Ye looked at the few people in front of him, whose faces were flushed and chests were heaving up and down, and nodded.
"Very good!"
"My plan to fight against Qin was not in vain.”
"I, Tuoba Ye, represent the Xianbei tribe and am willing to participate in this grand event with everyone!”
Then, Tuoba Ye pointed at the blueprints on the table.
"This map has detailed markings on the borders of the Qin country, as well as the number of troops stationed there.”
"I spent months of effort and sacrificed hundreds of men to obtain it.”
"Everyone can return to the various tribes and wait for orders.”
"We will launch a surprise attack and trample the Qin country!”
