Chapter 3089

Jiang Fan raised a hand and gently patted Sun Lu's shoulder: "This is the real war, believe me... Some wars are unavoidable, sometimes... It is also the ladder of human progress..."

This war was the first and largest-scale crossing of the river that Jiang Fan witnessed with his own eyes, and the shock it brought to him was far beyond description.

But it was on this day that he discovered that he was not as compassionate as he imagined, but inexplicably full of excitement. The strange thing was that there was indescribable indifference in his excitement...

In any case, this war is over, and later generations will call it the Battle of Heavenly Fire.

The process and results of the Battle of Heavenly Fire will soon spread to all directions. The first open and active large-scale battle of Taiyue Holy Land failed, and it was defeated by Qin State, or even just defeated Yuzhou. The waves and influence caused by this incident are difficult to estimate, and that is all later. Jiang Fan has no time to think about these now, because another more important war is about to begin.

Qinxia-Dayun War.

With Xia State basically giving up the sixteen states in the south, the three armies of Qin State advanced very quickly, almost without obstacles.

At this rate, the war that will determine the fate of half of Xia Country, or even the entire Xia Country, will be launched in full swing by the end of September at the latest.

Now, with Sun Lu, Yuzhou can rest assured. Jiang Fan quickly gave all the power of the general to Sun Lu, and did not even have time to participate in the follow-up of the Skyfire War, and hurried to Gaoqi Camp.

He wanted to start observing from now on and see the whole war.

However, he had to change his route as soon as he set off.

Because he received a very important news-the Golden Horde Royal Court was determined to take action against the Crescent Tribe.

The reason why this matter is important is that the purpose of the Golden Horde Royal Court is obviously to annex the Dayinshan Pasture to have the strongest voice in history, and such a Golden Horde Royal Court will integrate the entire barbarian tribe at the fastest speed, which is undoubtedly very dangerous. In the case of civil strife among the Chinese, the barbarians will 99% of the time go south in groups of wolves, just like the 18 kings' rebellion.

Once that day comes, Qin's unification will have to stop and turn to war against the barbarians. However, in this case, it is basically certain that it will be attacked from both sides. Then the power of Qin may not be able to compete with the barbarians, and may even collapse under internal and external troubles.

Jiang Fan can't stand this situation anyway.

What is the purpose of his deliberate efforts to weaken and divide the barbarians over the years? It is to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation, at least before the unification of the Chinese.

In fact, Jiang Fan's division and weakening of the barbarians was very successful.

From the first time he entered the northern border, Jiang Fan secretly separated the Zuo Xianwang tribe from the royal court and the three kings and made them his trading partners. Through Zuo Xianwang, Jiang Fan frantically plundered endless wealth at a terrifying price difference, including vital horses, furs for making armor, and cattle and sheep on which the barbarians depended for survival. And all of these have become the solid foundation for the Qin Dynasty to dare to send troops to the world today.

This process, it is undeniable that the Zuoxian Wang tribe was enriched, but it was worth it. On the one hand, the Zuoxian Wang tribe became increasingly incompatible with other tribes, and on the other hand, the suspicion of the Wang Ting became more and more serious. The third aspect is that without the need for direct contact with the Qin State, it caused huge economic losses to the other three kings and the Wang Ting.

Later, after the Fuli Conference, due to the change in the situation, Jiang Fan also adjusted his strategy and cooperated with the Wang Ting and the Youxian Wang. Although this move eased the contradiction between the Zuoxian Wang tribe and the Wang Ting, it also successfully weakened and restricted the increasingly powerful Zuoxian Wang, who was right beside the Qin State, and directly promoted the isolation of the Hunxie Wang tribe.

Long-term economic penetration gradually formed control, so that for a long time, the Qin State had no worries about foreign enemies and obtained a rare development space for two five-year plans.

But although the barbarians were backward, they were also slowly improving. They began to find that the economic invasion was inappropriate, and began to open up channels in many ways to introduce indispensable materials such as wine, tea, and salt. In the past two years, their dependence on the Qin State has been greatly reduced.

The second major level is differentiation. In addition to the above-mentioned economic division, Jiang Fan also caused political division among the kings through three trips to southern Xinjiang.

The three most significant gains from political division were the wavering of Zuo Xian Wang, the independence of the Crescent Moon Tribe, and the civil war of the Hunxie King Tribe.

While reaping huge benefits, Zuo Xian Wang was inevitably questioned by the royal court, and even more inevitably hostile to the other three kings.

The independence of the Crescent Moon Tribe made it impossible for the Golden Horde to control the three kings as expected, and was forced to deal with it for a long time.

The civil war of the Hunxie King Tribe led to civil strife among the barbarians, and the various tribes tightened up. The royal court was anxious and it was difficult to integrate the barbarians, not to mention concentrating its forces to go south.

But just as the economy began to gradually awaken, the political aspect also began to be taken seriously by the barbarians. From the comprehensive intelligence transmitted by Zeng Xi and Du Lun, Jile, Hu Jia and other parties, the barbarians have launched integration actions in the past two years, and the results are very gratifying when they cannot keep an eye on or mess up for a long time.

The current situation of the royal tent is simply like this. In addition to the Crescent Moon Tribe, it has directly controlled the largest area of ​​pasture in the grassland and directly governed the most tribes and people. Completely win over the Tuling King's tribe, forming an unparalleled strategic deterrent. Can effectively command the Youxian King's tribe, and even instruct them to ignore their own interests and go south to invade the border several times to test the reaction of the Chinese.

Then the unstable factors are two bright, two dark and one uncertain.

The two bright are the Hunxie King's tribe and the Xinyue tribe.

Not long ago, through the Royal Court Conference, Jiang Fan had already understood that the Royal Tent was going to start rectifying the Hunxie King's tribe, and this civil war was likely to stop quickly.

As for the Crescent Moon Tribe, it was obvious that they had also reached a certain strategy after the last conference. Jiang Fan believed that it was very likely that they would take tough measures to close it. The news that came now really proved this point.

The two dark ones were Shamanism and the Feng family.

First of all, Shamanism. This barbarian tribe's only sect has been the barbarian spiritual totem for thousands of years, maintaining the faith of all tribesmen and having a decisive influence on the rule of the barbarian king.

But the Golden Tent Royal Court had obviously begun to have some unknown gaps with Shamanism. The Royal Tent had consolidated its rule over a long period of time. Although the Shaman Church is still the spiritual belief of the people, its influence on politics, military and people's livelihood is already extremely low.

However, it is obvious that the Royal Tent did not dare to destroy its own religious beliefs, so the biggest possibility is to control Shamanism by controlling people. Its results have also been very outstanding.

From the news Jiang Fan got, now except for the high priest, most of the other Shamanists are already people of the Royal Court.
