"Has anyone been to Beiyi Mountain?" Shao Xun stood still, looked at everyone, and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have been there." Dou Qin, the leader of the Hedouling tribe who was still grazing in Wuyuan the year before last, stood up and said: "In the past, I attacked Liu Hu and chased him all the way to Shuofang. Some of them went south to the low mountains, and I personally led them.

People pursued him for more than a month."

"How is this place?" Shao Xun asked.

Dou Qin thought for a while and said: "At that time in August, strong winds were blowing, and the sky was filled with dust. If you look closely, you can see that the wind and sand are mostly blocked by the mountains. The wind is not strong on both sides of the Yellow River, and the natives even plant land and grow fruits.

, feel at ease."

When Shao Xun heard this, he smiled and said: "General Dou has indeed been there. There are mountains in the west of Beiyi Mountain that block the wind and sand, and the Yellow River flows in the east. There are marshes all over the land, suitable for grazing and farming. It is bitter cold elsewhere, but not here."

"Beiyi Mountain is full of vegetation, and it looks as green as dye from a distance. It can be used for grazing and wood-cutting."

“Thousands of miles of fertile fields are under the mountains, and the water is sweet and the soil is lively. You can get great profits by growing millet and wheat, and you can even grow rice.”

"Among the mountains and swamps on the southern edge, there are herds of yellow sheep, wild deer everywhere, and jackals, tigers and leopards living in the mountains, making it a great place to hunt."

"There are also many rare trees, exotic flowers, good medicines, and bamboo groves, all of which are valuable resources."

"Wild horses, wild boars, eagles, and falcons can be seen everywhere. If you just go into the mountains, you can easily find deerskin, horsehide, white feathers, black feathers, white glue, and various sinews. Haha, it makes me want to go hunting."

After that, he clapped his hands and asked someone to bring a map and hold it up. Then he pointed to the several-shaped Yellow River on it and said: "Henan is a big land. Shengle is a good place. Wuyuan and Shuofang are also good places."

, but they are not as good as Bei Yishan. In the past, the Helan tribe was stationed here as pastoralists, right? If it had not been for the marriage with the Tuoba family, they would not have gone north or east. This is a good place, and it is worthy of being 'blocked to the south of the Yangtze River'."

"Storm Jiangnan?" Everyone was a little surprised.

"Can I still deceive you?" Shao Xun's face fell, and he said unhappily: "If you don't believe it, send someone to Yixin Mountain and ask the people of the Helan family."

The Yellow River has many evils, but only one thing is rich.

So, which one is better, Qiantao where Hohhot is located, Houtao where Bayannaoer is located, or Xitao where Ningxia is located? Shao Xun thinks Xitao is better.

Because when the Yellow River flows through here, canals were opened to divert water for irrigation, most of which are artesian canals, so there is no need to build water trucks. The soil fertility is very good, and there is Helan Mountain to the west to block wind and sand, so the conditions are really good.

During the other Little Ice Age in history, that is, during the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty, the Dangxiang people farmed and herded here.

After the founding of Xixia, a lot of rice was planted. It can be seen that in pastoral areas with relatively scarce water resources, Ningxia is really a unique treasure.

As for the Xianbei people, they have never set foot in this area.

In the early years of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu moved many Wuhuan tribes inland and allocated grazing land to each of them. Because it was Shengle at that time, the Wuyuan area was directly controlled by the imperial court, so it was not divided out.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty's border defense system shrunk, Shengle and Wuyuan were abandoned, leaving these two places with a vacuum of power. It happened that Tuoba Xianbei went south and seized the window of time to seize these places before the Wuhuan people and the Huns.

Both places were captured.

Shengle can be said to be the "Longxing Land" of the Tuoba clan, but as they grew stronger, they first set their sights on Pingcheng, which was also abandoned by the Han Dynasty, that is, they moved east instead of west.

At that time, the Qiang had been in chaos for many years, and the three auxiliaries were in chaos. The Eastern Han Dynasty court was in the west, but the north could no longer bear it. It collapsed and shrank. Guanzhong was even home to a large number of barbarians. The Xianbei people may have felt that there was no point in going south to contact Guanzhong, so it was better to annex Wuhuan.

Wang Kuren's territory came into contact with the Central Plains through Taiyuan.

Therefore, they have not yet considered cleaning up the entire Henan area and unifying the various miscellaneous tribes.

Shao Xun gave another idea: instead of always thinking about harming the Central Plains, wouldn't it be better to go to the Hetao area to do some good?

Well, it's not very good for the noble people of Xianbei. Because those Diao tribes are barbaric and ignorant, they are quite fierce and not so easy to fight.

If they are just fierce and barbaric, it is not impossible to deal with them. The problem is that those tribes are poor and cannot grab much. They are boring and not as good as "Nantu".

Of course, Nantu is also very difficult now, because there is a Shao thief in the Central Plains.

Really in a dilemma.

As soon as Shao Xun saw their expressions, he roughly understood their thoughts.

After thinking for a while, I heard him say: "The land in Henan is extremely vast, with abundant water and grass. There are countless places suitable for grazing and farming. I only take one piece of land in Shangjun and give the rest to you. After winning the battle, the land is

Yours, the imperial court will issue a decree to confer a title, and I will also be rewarded with cloth and silk. If you feel that the salary is not enough, you can also exchange people for it."
