    Yu Ge is several months older than Zhang Yan and is Zhang Ke's eldest son. However, compared to Zhang Yan who received a complete education from the East and the West, Yu Ge is more like a complete wild boy.  basket.  color.  Book.  Ba, tough, rude, and wild.  When I was 10 years old, I could ride a wild horse, gallop on the grassland, kill wolves, and fight tigers. There was nothing I dared not do.  Growing up, in his heart, there were only two people he admired the most, one was his father Zhang Ke, and the other was the pride of the Mongols, Genghis Khan. "Father, I asked about it, those big beards came from the far west, where there used to be  It is the pasture of the descendants of Genghis Khan. Those bearded men are slaves of the Mongols. For hundreds of years, they have to obey the orders of the Mongols and sacrifice every woman to the enjoyment of the Mongolian warriors. Now they actually killed them.  The Great Khan of Mongolia, although Lin Dan Khan is not worthy of being a descendant of the Golden Family, he is not the one who can kill with those big beards." The more Yu Ge spoke, the angrier he became. He suddenly knelt down on one knee and roared: "Father, please give me your child.  With an army of one hundred thousand, I'm going to kill all those bearded men and let them crawl at the feet of the Mongols again and become the slaves of my father." "What the hell?" Zhang Ke couldn't help but frown when he heard what this kid said.  "Yu Ge, who told you what you said?" After a moment's hesitation, Yu Ge replied honestly: "It's my mother and grandpa. They said that I have the blood of the Golden Family and the Zhang Family, the two most powerful families.  Noble bloodline, my mission is to conquer, like you and Genghis Khan, to make the world surrender under my feet, Father, is there anything wrong?" Zhang Ke looked at his still slightly immature son and felt a headache. His Mongolian wife  It's really a bad thing. How can you teach a militant? Especially a self-righteous boy. If you don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid something bad will happen sooner or later.  Most of those who killed Linden Khan were Russians who crossed the Ural Mountains.  Although they were once conquered by Mongolia, times have changed, the Russians have accepted Western civilization, and their military power has grown rapidly.  Plus they are adapted to cold climates.  The combat capability is quite powerful.  Although the number is not large, the title of fighting nation is not for nothing.  "And as the Russians entered Siberia, the world has entered a new era, and Zhang Ke couldn't help but pay attention to it.  He reached out and grabbed his son's wrist, pulled him in front of the huge sand table, and pointed at the huge grassland area.  "Yan'er, what do you think of the situation in the grassland?" Zhang Yan was still a little embarrassed when facing his elder brother who was half a head taller than him, but his father asked.  He couldn't help but say it.  "Reporting to the emperor, I think it is easy to conquer the grassland, but difficult to control the grassland." "Continue to talk." "Yes" Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and said: "In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought with the Xiongnu, and Huo Qubing and Yan Ran succeeded.  They reached Beihai. However, the Han Dynasty did not really rule the Mongolian grasslands, let alone the farther north. Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also attacked the desert several times, but in the end he did not have the ability to annex the grasslands.  The words became smoother and smoother, and he said with a smile: "Throughout history, the Central Plains has attacked the north several times, all to solve troubles. However, after winning, they all retreated to the front line of the Great Wall without exception. The child thought it was not accidental, but a profound reason.  "The reason." "Well, I heard from my uncle that in everything you do, you must pay attention to investment and return. The same is true for a country." Zhang Yan said thoughtfully: "Any empire has the potential to expand.  The limit is the financial pressure. Take the Han Dynasty, which used all its strength to win the battle of Mobei, but lost 70% of its army and lost more than 100,000 livestock.  A thousand will cost you eight, uh, no, it will cost you a thousand and five." Zhang Ke gradually smiled as he listened to his son's words. He trained Zhang Yan in an all-round way.  I hope this son can look at the problem with a rational mind, and he is doing well now.  "Yu Ge, Yan'er, do you know why fighting on the grassland often outweighs the gains and losses?" Yu Ge scratched his head and said, "Father, the grasslands are all warriors on horseback, brave and good at fighting." "Yan'er, your  "What do you think?" "Father, the cavalry is erratic and consumes very little supplies. However, if the people and horses in the Central Plains want to fight against the cavalry, whether they are using cavalry against cavalry, or using chariot formations or square formations, a large number of people and horses must be huddled together.  Only in this way can we win. As a result, the logistics supply consumption is astonishing, the supply line is long, and the acclimatization is not suitable, and the losses are heavy. " Zhang Ke nodded with satisfaction. It is indeed not easy to fight on the grassland.  Although Zhang Ke had just gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat Lin Dan Khan, it was because he had been in business for a long time, and Lin Dan Khan was based in the Monan area. If the battlefield was moved to Mobei, he would not be so relaxed.    "For thousands of years, it has been easy to conquer the grassland but difficult to occupy it, but the situation is different today. The grassland production is limited and cannot supply too many troops. However, in the cold weapon era, the cavalry is the most powerful unit.  The number of men and horses sent by the Central Plains is several times, or even ten times, that of the grassland. The few cattle, sheep and horses captured are not enough for consumption on the road. However," Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Now we have entered the era of hot weapons, and the development of firearms has given the cavalry an advantage.  Greatly reduced, only a small number of men and horses can defeat a larger number of cavalry. "As Zhang Ke's son, Yu Ge was not stupid. On the contrary, he quickly grasped the key to his father's words.  "Father, aren't your men and horses the most powerful in the world with firearms? Why don't you send troops to kill those bearded men and sweep the grassland?" "Silly boy, I said so much, but I actually want to tell you,  Those bearded men are also proficient in firearms and are extremely cunning. Like me, they have the ability to conquer the grassland and are by no means an easy character to deal with." Zhang Ke looked stern and said in a cold tone: "Yu Ge, what do you propose?  My father will never send an army of 100,000, and I will not do a losing business. If you want to deal with those bearded men, you must learn to be more cunning than them, and train your men to be more ferocious than them.  Minimize the number of troops to win the battle. Only when the harvest is greater than the expenditure, can such a victory be sustained." Surrounding the sand table, the father and son talked about it for the rest of the night. It was the first time in Yuge's life that he heard these things, which completely subverted his inherent nature.  impression.  Real battles are not heroic epics, but mind games full of cruelty and calculation.  He finally understood that his father was not only a conqueror, but also a master of actuarial calculations.  A thorough conversation.  Let Yuge not only understand the history of the grassland, but also see through the future of the grassland.  At that moment, the slightly young boy quickly matured.  He didn't hate the war.  Instead become more obsessed.  "Father, I don't want your 100,000 troops, but I hope you can support me and follow the path of Genghis Khan to conquer everything." The ambition revealed in his son.  Zhang Ke couldn't help but be surprised.  "Yu Ge, you have to know that this is not a Yangguan Avenue. When the Mongols went on an expedition, countless people were killed and injured. Aren't you afraid?" "As a man, it is the most honorable thing for me to be wrapped in horse leather, my great father."  , please help me." Zhang Ke sighed and said slowly: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren. I wanted you to retreat when you faced difficulties, but instead of letting others be the conqueror,  Why don't you give it to my son?" From that day on, Zhang Ke set aside a 200-mile pasture outside Xifengkou as a special training base.  From this day on, a large number of young people who were adapted to the cold climate were recruited, including Han Chinese and other tribes.  Every soldier must receive the most rigorous training.  Not only must you be proficient in various firearms, but you must also learn how to build fortifications.  Building a castle, being able to speak various languages, and even conducting special cold-resistant training were required. People died of frostbite every day.  Faced with such cruel training, as a prince, Yu Ge unexpectedly endured it.  Even more strict than ordinary people.  For three years, the magic weapons were sharpened and shined brightly. Yuge personally led 800 soldiers and 3,000 pack horses, heading deep into the grassland. In these years, "bearded men" have been appearing continuously.  information.  They have already entrenched themselves near the North Sea, and their power is still rapidly developing eastward.  Father is right. Big Beard also has the ability to conquer the Mongolian tribes. There are constant reports of grassland tribes being conquered and annexed. Those cavalrymen who come and go like the wind frequently suffer in the face of firearms.  The rules of the game have changed. The traditional Mongolian cavalry cannot keep up with the trend of the times and can only be ruthlessly eliminated.  Yu Ge is no longer the impulsive young man he once was. He is more like a mature hunter, patiently waiting for his prey to appear.  "Your Majesty, a group of bearded men attacked the Outer Khalkha tribe, killing more than 300 tribesmen, looting thousands of horses, and a large amount of food." Yuge muttered silently: "It's been two months.  Now, this is the fourth sneak attack. You are so rampant that I will attack you." After some analysis, Yu Ge determined the next target of this group. Eight hundred soldiers ambush on the banks of the Onan River, where Genghis Khan came to the throne.  place.  Yu Ge¡¯s ambush location was chosen in a valley. They waited for three full days before a team of six to seven hundred people came in with thousands of packhorses and trophies.  The leader of the Russians was called Tolbuzin. His nose was red, he was holding a silver flask in his hand, and he kept pouring strong wine into his mouth, and his esophagus was filled with burning pleasure.  Totor Buzin is a small official in the Tsarist troops. It still retains Russia of the aristocratic and serf system. There is no background.It is absolutely impossible for Erbujin to get promoted.  He had to choose to take the wrong path, leave the army controlled by the nobles, and move towards a wider world.  Since more than ten years ago, goods from the East have suddenly flowed to the West in large quantities. Tea, silk, and porcelain, the three major commodities, have always been unfavorable.  Countries in Western Europe fell one after another, and the upper class of society were all proud of owning Chinese goods. Even in the painter's paintings, the gods used exquisite oriental utensils and wore light silk.  At this time, Tsarist Russia was still barbaric, poor and backward. They had no outlet to share the huge profits from trade, and they did not have enough gold and silver to exchange for the commodities they dreamed of.  Under such stimulation, the result is not difficult to see. A large number of Russians chose to cross the Ural Mountains, use their weapons to conquer the vast land, fight all the way to the east, and get everything they want from there.  Zhang Ke¡¯s butterfly movement finally caused a huge storm. The Russians entered Siberia earlier than in history, and the scale was also larger.  In the hearts of the Russians, Mongolia was still a nightmare. When they first entered Siberia, they showed great restraint. However, after some battles, the Russians quickly saw the weak nature of Mongolia.  They are no longer as brave as they were during the Genghis Khan era, and their tactics are even more backward. However, Russia is no longer what it used to be. They easily plunder the land and wealth of the Mongolian tribes. Needless to say, the Russians are greedy. All tribes in Siberia have suffered unprecedented attacks.  catastrophe.  Tolbujin was filled with joy. As long as he did it a few more times, he could accumulate enough wealth to hire more people. By then, he could annex the Mongolian tribes and head south into the legendary paradise. What could be better than this?  Things: Alcohol made him confused, and suddenly there was a bang.  Tolbuzin's eyes widened and he roared angrily: "Who asked you to shoot, you idiot?" Before he could finish his words, gunshots rang out from all directions. Bullets were like raindrops, hitting the Russian bandits in the valley. In an instant, they were dead.  All over the fields, dirty blood dyed the rocks red.  "How is it possible, how can the humble Mongolians have powerful firearms?" Torbujin roared loudly. It must be some shameless Russian scum who sold the muskets to the Mongols.  Does he know what he is doing? If he lets me know, he must be burned alive. Torbujin kept swearing in his heart. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering roar from the ground. Torbujin felt as if he was on the sea. His body  He kept shaking, was suddenly thrown into the sky, fell heavily, and was submerged in smoke. This was just a small-scale ambush. Yu Ge didn't notice it. After solving the Russians, he immediately  Let your men clean up the loot, take a rest, and quickly jump into the next battle.  He didn¡¯t care, but history books made special mention of this battle. They believed that this was the beginning of the eastern conquerors¡¯ westward expansion and a moment that rewrote the world.  In the next twenty years, Prince Yuge led his few troops in continuous battles, killing tens of thousands of Russians, and finally led 8,000 troops across the Ural Mountains.  Following the footsteps of Genghis Khan, he reconquered Europe. His troops attacked westward, killing and conquering all the way, and finally crossed the Danube River and reached the Rhine River. The distance they conquered even exceeded that of Genghis Khan.  After the Huns, Turks, and Mongols, Yu Ge¡¯s expedition was called the fourth Yellow Peril, and the nightmare in the West is not over yet.  ~Search the basket color to read the following chapters in full
