While Qin Xiaobai was pulling the tiger skin of the Eastern Han Dynasty, playing Tai Chi with Liu Bao, and pulling the calf to make all kinds of fools to the Southern Xiongnu, he was constantly making various preparations for war, rapidly expanding and accumulating strength, in order to have at least one fight with the Southern Xiongnu, who had millions of people who controlled the strings, as soon as possible.

The first is the situation when Qin Xiaobai sent Jinyi Wei to infiltrate and spy on the Southern Xiongnu.

In this regard, it can be said that the form is a great good, Jinyiwei really deserves its prestige in Chinese history, if you only talk about the ability to investigate, even if there are many secret agent organizations including Meihua Internal Guard, can not be compared with it.

At this point, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in history, the battle that defeated the Japanese army and was commanded by the most famous general in Japanese history, Toyota Hideyoshi, resisted Japan and aided Korea.

The outstanding achievements made by Jinyiwei in this foreign war are enough to prove how strong its battlefield reconnaissance ability is.

At this time, Jin Yiwei is even more under the command of Bai Jie and Bai Yuanfang, brothers and sisters who have broken through the IQ limit and comprehended the god-level secret agent skills, and under the personal leadership of the genuine Ouchi secret agent Leng Mian, he is naturally even more invincible.

Therefore, thousands of brocade guards, after walking outside the fortress in disguise, quietly and successfully invaded the sphere of influence of the Southern Xiongnu like a silent spring rain.

And took root in the sphere of influence of the Southern Xiongnu, and each of the four counties in the north of the country successfully established a secret stronghold.

And after taking root, within a few days, the information from all over the country was passed on one after another, and the Bai Yuanfang brothers and sisters sorted it out and presented it to Qin Xiaobai.

At this time, Qin Xiaobai understood the general situation of the Southern Xiongnu now.

It turns out that the Southern Xiongnu are not monolithic, and there is also a great controversy about whether to go south and enter the customs this time, so the troops that the Southern Xiongnu can use in the south this time are actually only partial.

Hearing this news, Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if it was really millions of extremely fierce Hun iron horsemen rushing up. Even if there was a dangerous fortress to defend at Yanmen Pass, he was actually not much sure in his heart that he could resist it.

When the time comes, it is impossible to say, and other methods must be used to solve the Xiongnu crisis. However, the other solutions, whether they can solve the crisis or not, but will make him bleed profusely, that's for sure.

And if the Huns who went south this time could only use part of their strength, then Qin Xiaobai would have confidence. As soon as possible, you can accumulate a certain amount of strength to fight against it, and even a defensive counterattack is possible.

In addition, Qin Xiaobai was even more relieved when he saw that Jin Yiwei was so powerful.

It is believed that in the near future, Jinyiwei will not only be able to detect all aspects of the Xiongnu's intelligence, but even its military movements can be detected well.

If this is the case, then this is equivalent to the concept of plugging the whole picture in a competitive game, and the advantages it can gain for marching combat are self-evident.

Therefore, this made Qin Xiaobai very happy. A good start is half the battle.

The first thing the investigation was successfully completed, and then the second thing was called for help, and compared to the investigation, the progress of the call for help was more difficult.

Nominally, since the imperial court had handed over the four counties of Saibei to Qin Xiaobai to deal with, it had already told Qin Xiaobai that he would not give him help with a single soldier, so now that the Huns are attacking, the imperial court has no obligation to help Qin Xiaobai at all.

In fact, the imperial court is now fully supporting the large consumption of Huangfu Song's expedition to the west. pacified the rebellion of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various places, so now the imperial court itself is a little stretched, so naturally there is no time to take care of Qin Xiaobai.

In addition, there are still ten permanent servants in the court who want to kill him, and it is even more impossible for the court to give Qin Xiaobai any substantial assistance.

Qin Xiaobai naturally knew this. Therefore, it is only nominally playing the imperial court to ask for help, but in fact, his main goal of aid is still Ding Yuan and Bingzhou.

On Ding Yuan's side, it is not so easy to ask for help, although Ding Yuan has tens of millions of heavy troops in his hands, and he also has the responsibility of guarding and annexing the state.

But at this time the Xiongnu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is not the Xiongnu who were like fire and water with the Han Dynasty during the Western Han Dynasty.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took Wei Qing and Huo Qubing as generals, he carried out several major expeditions against the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu were divided into two parts: the north and the south.

The Northern Xiongnu fled westward, and later it is said that they fled to Europe, destroying countless small European countries, and defeating Rome into an army, which was called the whip of God by Europeans.

As for the Southern Xiongnu, they stayed and became a vassal of the Han Dynasty, and it has been like this until now.

Although the Southern Xiongnu also often intruded on the Han border, they were still at least nominally vassal of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This time, the Xiongnu went south to enter the customs, nominally, in order to help the imperial court pacify the Yellow Turban Army.

This excuse is undoubtedly very lame, but it is nominally reasonable, and now that the imperial court has not said anything about it, Ding Yuan has no right to use the army.

Besides, Ding Yuan didn't want to be an enemy of the Huns, after all, the Huns were extremely fierce and not so easy to provoke.

If he faced the Xiongnu head-on, and the Xiongnu were angry and attacked the south with all their might, then Ding Yuan would have to bear a great responsibility.

But fortunately, Qin Xiaobai has always been kind to Ding Yuan, and has always paid attention to Ding Yuan's favorability.

And Ding Yuan is also very optimistic about Qin Xiaobai, a rising rookie, and has been thinking of ways to win over Qin Xiaobai.

In addition, Qin Xiaobai was under all kinds of fools of Ding Yuan when he asked for help, so although Ding Yuan finally said that he could not give support to the soldiers and horses on the surface, it was still okay to secretly give some military support to Qin Xiaobai.

Although it did not meet Qin Xiaobai's greatest expectations, it was quite good to have military resources, which was better than no support.

So after Ding Yuan showed this attitude, Qin Xiaobai no longer asked Ding Yuan for reinforcements, but instead asked Ding Yuan for his most scarce and important strategic resource, 'horses'.

Although Qin Xiaobai's biggest advantage is that he has the dangerous place to defend Yanmen Pass, if Qin Xiaobai blindly defends the city, he will completely give the initiative to the Xiongnu, which will not only make the Xiongnu more and more rampant, but also allow them to occupy an offensive advantage.

Even if the Xiongnu can't attack it for a long time, if it drags it down like this, Qin Xiaobai's small body in a small county will naturally not be able to drag the Xiongnu who occupy the four counties of Saibei and a large area of fertile grasslands in the Hetao area.

Therefore, if you want to completely solve the Xiongnu crisis, you must defend and attack, so that the Xiongnu will know that Qin Xiaobai is not easy to bully, and if you want to attack in the future, you will weigh it first.

And want to fight back against the Huns. Only cavalry with the same mobility as the Huns could do this.

At the same time, if Qin Xiaobai wants to recover the four counties outside the Saiwai in the future, he will undoubtedly need a large number of cavalry to fight, so he will not mention anything else. Horses are definitely the strategic resource that Qin Xiaobai needs the most.

And after Ding Yuan received Qin Xiaobai's request, he even gathered 100,000 black-maned horses for Qin Xiaobai.

When Qin Xiaobai saw this, he was immediately overjoyed, you must know that although Ding Yuan had tens of millions of troops under his command, in fact, due to the fact that the imperial court was often in arrears. At the lower levels, officials at all levels were deducted layer by layer, and most of these soldiers were not fully equipped, let alone horses.

Now that Ding Yuan can collect these 100,000 black-maned horses from the army, it can be regarded as a big bet on him.

For Qin Xiaobai, Ding Yuan's move is undoubtedly a send-off.

Qin Xiaobai is now equipped with Huang Daopo, weapons have Yuzi period, military rations have millions of stone grain and grass hoarded in the South Taihang Mountains, and military salaries have 600,000 taels of gold, among all strategic materials. The only thing missing is horses.

You must know that after the Xiongnu customized the plan to go south, they imposed a horse embargo on the pass, although Qin Xiaobai could also let Jin 300 million buy horses from nomads such as Xianbei and Karasuma through the channels of Youzhou, but in the end it was far from quenching the thirst.

If you really want Qin Xiaobai and other Jin 300 million to really buy horses from such a far away place and transport them over, let alone daylily at that time, Qin Xiaobai himself is estimated to be cold......

100,000 military horses and 100,000 soldiers, and they are all third-level horses and black-maned horses that are not weaker than the Huns, which is enough for Qin Xiaobai to fight against the Huns. It has a certain ability to counterattack.

Therefore, Qin Xiaobai couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised that Ding Yuan could be so powerful.

As for Lin Nantian and Chu Crazy Ge from the two poles of the state, the two of them were much more shrewd than Ding Yuan, using their own resources to support potential opponents. They don't do that kind of thing.

However, there is no need for Qin Xiaobai to say more, Lin Nantian and Chu Yangge both clearly understand in their hearts that if they really want to let the Xiongnu go south, although it is impossible to annex the entire annexation of the state, it will definitely encroach on a lot of land in the city.

And state this big cake. In the eyes of Lin Nantian and Chu Yangge, it was already a forbidden place set within them, and if the Xiongnu wanted to get involved in their forbidden belly, it would be something they couldn't tolerate.

Therefore, in the end, the two also worked together to support Qin Xiaobai's 100,000 military horses, but these 100,000 military horses were one grade lower than Ding Yuan's, and they were all second-class horses.

And their support methods are also different from Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan is free support to Qin Xiaobai, and the two poles of the state are paid loans, and these 100,000 yellow horses still have to be returned to them after they are used up.

At most, it is a united front to fight against foreign enemies, and I don't want Qin Xiaobai's interest.

Compared to Ding Yuan, Lin Nantian and Chu Yangge are undoubtedly not very powerful, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, not to mention that it is still 100,000 horses, this is a big piece of meat, how could Qin Xiaobai refuse, naturally he will laugh at all the 100,000 yellow horses.

As for the 100,000 yellow horses borrowed, when and how to repay them, that is to see Qin Xiaobai in the future.

Although Qin Xiaobai has made a lot of achievements in asking for support, on the whole, the support is still unsatisfactory, and he asked for reinforcements for a long time, but he did not invite a single soldier to help substantively.

However, this matter was successfully resolved due to the smooth progress of the third thing, 'preparation'.

Since Qin Xiaobai had already discussed with the lords from all over the state, coupled with his attractive policy of exchanging his military exploits for official positions, countless lord players in the state couldn't wait for this.

Therefore, after Qin Xiaobai issued the recruitment order, in just a few days, the number of people who came to apply for the conscription had exceeded one million.

And because the players all want to exchange their military exploits for official positions, they are all very enthusiastic to recommend the NPCs with excellent qualifications in the territory, so these millions of conscripts are impeccable and quite qualified.

This is equivalent to having a million troops in an instant, which makes Qin Xiaobai can't help but be overjoyed.

However, in addition to being happy, Qin Xiaobai was also very calm, although he had millions of soldiers almost overnight, but these recruited millions of soldiers were actually trained and could not form an army with combat ability.

Therefore, these millions of people cannot be called soldiers, at most they can only be regarded as strong men, and no matter how many they are, they are just a rabble similar to the Yellow Turban rebels, who will be defeated with one blow under the impact of the elite army, but can only be dragged down.

But fortunately, Qin Xiaobai has an emperor-level barracks, and he also has the commander attribute, and he is only one step away from reaching the gold-level Wei Qingzai.

Coupled with Qin Xiaobai's vigorous investment in money, the speed of training soldiers was amazingly fast.

And just when Qin Xiaobai's strength was developing rapidly, Liu Bao, the left handsome of the Huns who presided over the Xiongnu's southward journey, also reacted at this time, he no longer cared who Sima Zhao was, and now the southward movement was the theme, so he directly declared it to the outside world.

The Xiongnu went south to enter the pass, and the determination of the imperial court to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion had been decided, if the Yanmen Pass guard would not open it again, then he would only forcibly break through the pass and enter, and then anyone who blocked them from entering the Huns would be killed.

As soon as Liu Bao's words came out, the Xiongnu's southward movement became a foregone conclusion.

This is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and it immediately attracted the attention of players in the thirteen states of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, Qin Xiaobai, the first person in the player's prestige, who was in the limelight in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was once again pushed to the forefront, and players were discussing how Qin Xiaobai would deal with the incident of the Huns' southward movement.

"I feel that Qin Xiaobai is going to be funny this time, the Huns are not comparable to the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army."

"Don't worry, Qin Xiaobai will definitely be fine this time, he is so obscene, how can he fight the Huns head-on, there will definitely be a yin behind him."

"Yes, I think so too, but I feel that Qin Xiaobai will not only not confront the Xiongnu head-on, but will not even fight against the Xiongnu, but will lead the Xiongnu into the customs, and then help the Xiongnu to abuse and even sell weapons to the Xiongnu as a traitor, because in the eyes of him, a profiteer, there is only Brother Fang Kong, and the biggest opportunity to get rich is naturally in wartime**, I have been cheated by him......"

Although the players have different opinions, there is no doubt that there is a direction, that is, under such coercion from the Huns, Qin Xiaobai, who has always liked to be obscene and curry favor at both ends, will definitely retreat, at least temporarily avoid the edge.

After all, the Huns are so strong, even the current top ten player guilds can't match the strength, let alone Qin Xiaobai, who still can't get any strong foreign aid.

However, just when all parties were speculating like this, Qin Xiaobai, who had been playing Tai Chi somewhere, did not continue to deal with Liu Bao with sleek diplomatic rhetoric, but directly left a sentence:

"If you offend me as a strong man, you will be punished even if you are far away." (To be continued.) )
