Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
"My lord, I've finally seen you!" The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, accompanied by his left and right wise kings, rushed over.
When the guy was about 100 meters away from Jiang Tian, he dismounted and galloped towards him.
The same applies to the Left and Right Wise Kings and the Left and Right Guli Kings.
They stopped more than 200 meters away from Jiang Tian and ran towards him at breakneck speed.
"We pay our respects to our lord." Several people knelt down in unison before Jiang Tian.
The tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalrymen all knelt down in front of Jiang Tian.
Tens of thousands of people moved in perfect unison, creating a thunderous spectacle.
Jiang Tian: "How did you get here?"
"Get up and speak quickly."
Jiang Tian whistled, signaling Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong to lead their men to set up the tent.
Soon, the huge tent was erected.
Jiang Tian led the Xiongnu Chanyu, the Left and Right Wise Kings, and the Left and Right Guli Kings into the tent.
"My lord, we have been expanding our territory as you have instructed."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian frowned; their pace of territorial expansion was somewhat slow.
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
Hand-pulled mutton, roasted lamb leg, and cases upon cases of liquor were laid out in front of everyone.
Everyone ate and drank at the same time.
Everyone was having a great time chatting.
"My lord, I have something I would like to ask you."
"Feel free to ask whatever you need," Jiang Tian said with a smile, holding his wine bowl.
"I wonder if my daughter came with you this time?"
"Princess Hanxiang has an important mission in the capital."
The Xiongnu Chanyu was overjoyed to hear that Princess Hanxiang had important business in the capital.
"Thank you, my lord, for nurturing my daughter. I owe everything I have today to your kindness." The Xiongnu Chanyu quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Tian with utmost respect.
Jiang Tian gestured for them to sit down.
"My lord, how did you end up on this desolate grassland?" the Xiongnu Chanyu asked curiously.
"Have you had any contact with the Russians?" Jiang Tian did not answer the question posed by the Xiongnu Chanyu.
"Rakshasa people... My lord, please forgive my ignorance, but I do not know what Rakshasa people are like."
"Red or blonde hair, with a pair of bright blue eyes."
Before Jiang Tian finished speaking, everyone present nodded.
It seems that these people have all had contact with the Rakshasa.
"These people are quite capable in combat."
"Many of them, the Rakshasa, were equipped with firearms."
"However, their muskets are far inferior to those used for main attacks."
"Besides, they are too few in number."
“These guys are no match for us Huns.”
Jiang Tian nodded.
"We traveled northwest along the way, and hundreds of our Xiongnu tribes migrated with us."
"So far, the grasslands we have occupied are dozens of times larger than before."
At this point, the Xiongnu Chanyu was overjoyed.
Everyone else was also incredibly excited.
The Xiongnu Chanyu also had a map that Jiang Tian had given them.
Since they obtained the map and returned to the Xiongnu steppe, they have worked diligently to expand their territory.
The Xiongnu chieftain thought this way and did this.
Since returning to China over a year ago, they have been pushing the grasslands westward and northward.
They had never imagined that there was such a vast grassland.
The land here is fertile and the vegetation is lush.
Moreover, there are numerous rivers here.
"My lord, to be honest, with such a large territory we have occupied, our cattle and sheep population can be expanded more than 100 times."
Jiang Tian nodded, and the excitement of the Xiongnu Chanyu and his men was palpable.
However, Jiang Tian found this place somewhat barren.
These places serve no purpose other than grazing horses and sheep.
"How many Rakshasa have you killed so far?" This was Jiang Tian's biggest concern.
“Tell our lord how many Rakshasa people each tribe has killed?”
The Xiongnu Left Wise King stood up: "My lord, our tribe has killed approximately 500 Rakshasa people."
"However, these Russians have a lot of cattle and sheep. These 500 people have more than 200,000 head of cattle and sheep. We have already taken all of them."
The Right Wise King's tribe of the Xiongnu killed more than 300 people and looted more than 300,000 cattle and sheep.
The battle results of each tribe were summarized.
The Xiongnu killed no more than 2,000 Russians, but plundered more than a million cattle and sheep.
How many people did you lose?
"Very few." "My lord, although they have guns, their guns are far inferior to yours."
"Their guns pose little threat to us."
"Their guns are inaccurate at long range."
"Their guns are not as good as our bows and arrows; they can shoot farther and more accurately."
Everyone toasted and chatted for a long time.
"This time, the Russians dispatched 200,000 elite troops."
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, everyone stopped.
“These 200,000 elite soldiers each had a musket, and in addition, they also carried one or two thousand cannons.”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
They knew that the enemy was equipped with muskets and cannons, whose power was far beyond what these scattered soldiers could match.
If the enemy had over 200,000 muskets and one or two thousand cannons, their tens of thousands of elite Xiongnu cavalry would be no match for them.
"My lord, are we really going to hand over this vast grassland that we've conquered?" The Xiongnu Chanyu felt a pang of anguish at the thought of having to give up this fertile grassland.
"We finally managed to conquer this place, why should we give it away? It's such a big area."
"Even if it means fighting to the death, we cannot give in," the Xiongnu Left Wise King roared.
"If they're so capable, they can come and rob us here. We'll see who comes out on top then."
"Yes... So what if they have 200,000 people? We're not afraid of them at all."
“My lord, Great Chanyu…” King Zuoguli stood up. “If we retreat, these Rakshasa people will definitely continue to press forward.”
At that time, not only will we have to give up all of our grasslands, but we will also have to give up our original Xiongnu grasslands.
I've heard that these Rakshasa people are a bunch of insatiable greedy people.
At that time, they will not only threaten our Xiongnu and the 16 kingdoms of the steppe, but also the Great Xia Dynasty.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"My lord, this is something you don't want to see, is it?" The Xiongnu Left Guli King glanced at Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian nodded.
"Gentlemen, with Jiang Tian here," Jiang Tian stood up, holding a wine bowl, "no one can defeat us."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Great Chanyu, this time we must penetrate deep into the heart of the Rakshasa lands,” Jiang Tian stood up, walked to the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, and put his arm around his shoulder. “In this battle, we will either not fight at all, or we will fight so fiercely that the enemy will tremble with fear.”
