Barrier No. 176 was as famous as Fortress 178 in the early years, but over the years, people have gradually mentioned only 178 and not 176.

There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, the geographical location of the 176 barrier is not as bad as 178, and the enemies on the grassland are not so vicious. Therefore, from the perspective of "paying", the 176 barrier does not pay much for the entire barrier alliance.

After all, there are only a few people on the grassland, and they can't even match hot weapons. It's really hard to become a major threat to the Central Plains, and there has never been any particularly heroic bloody battles between them.

On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of the No. 176 barrier is not strong, and each generation is worse than that of the previous generation. In recent decades, the No. 176 barrier has become a hereditary system and a private property of the Shen family.

Originally, all the resources of the 176 barrier were provided by the Wang family, the Fire and the Kong family, to express their gratitude to the 176 garrison in the north.

But after the barrier No. 176 became Shen Jia’s private property, and everyone discovered that the threat from the northern grasslands in recent years was that the Shen family itself shouted "The wolf is coming", and the supply of materials gradually stopped.

Because barrier No. 176 is located in a place with poor material resources, it survives in the cracks between Kong, Fire and Wang, and these years have been getting worse every year.

The former managers of barrier No. 176 lacked foresight and had no resources, which led to the failure of their own light industry and heavy industry to develop. Only animal husbandry and agriculture were still quite acceptable, so they also lost the competitiveness in the barrier alliance.

Now, their weapons are very old, and some people even sell them to the black market for money.

This is why Qingshen said that the 176 barrier is not good.

Dafuyou laughed after hearing Qingshen's explanation: "It's still my 178 Fortress with a long-term vision. His previous commanders never consider hereditary matters. If you have children who want to seize power, they will be sent to the outposts outside early. This is unique in the entire barrier alliance. I can only say that the commanders of my 178 Fortress are worthy of being the name of pioneers."

The big fool continued: "And the enemies I faced in Fortress 178 are not enemies like nomads who do not even have thermal weapons. This is why we are called fortresses, but they can only be called barriers."

Qingshen looked at Dashi seriously, and he found that when Dashi mentioned the 178 Fortress, the heartfelt pride and honor were probably something that most people in the Central Plains didn't have.

Luo Lan said: "Actually, the Shen family was quite prosperous at the beginning. At that time, the military power of the Barrier Alliance was not very good. It was still very difficult to face the war initiated by the grassland people. Unfortunately, it was degenerate in Shen Yin's generation."

"So, do you think the grassland people will pose a threat to the 176 barrier?" Ren Xiaosu looked at Qingshen.

"The premise is that the grassland people are strong enough now," Qingshen replied: "After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

...

Seven days later, Yan Liuyuan suddenly set foot in Nanman on the border of the northern grassland: "Confirm the route and direction, check the number of horses and people in the material world, and you may face battle every day in the future, don't take it lightly."

Hassan nodded: "Master, don't worry, I won't make any mistakes here."

Yan Liuyuan nodded. He felt that Hassan had been a talented person in the past, and since Hassan became the Right Cavalry King, he quickly showed his management talent.

At this time, Yan Liuyuan asked again: "Where are the Pulan tribes and the Hegu tribes?"

Hassan, who was standing by, said respectfully: "The scout has been sent out, but it will take a day to come back from there. I will report it to you as soon as possible if there is any news."

This time when he headed south, Yan Liuyuan did not lead his troops to the 176 barrier closest to the grassland, but changed direction and headed to the Torch Territory.

The messenger of Qing's family came to the grassland and brought him a relatively important news: The Tinder Company will start a war with the Kong family, and Tinder has mobilized its troops several months in advance. At this time, the barriers at the north side of the Tinder Company were all in a state of empty defense.

It was precisely because Yan Liuyuan didn't want other tribes to know their plans that he chose the last one to set off, so two of the three major tribes went to the direction of the 176 barrier, and he was heading towards the fire.

The Qing family envoy even made an agreement with Yan Liuyuan that when he arrived at the city of Barrier No. 21, someone would open the city gate for him.

However, when Yan Liuyuan arrived at the border of the grassland, he saw that the army of tens of thousands of tribes was only more than 100 kilometers away from the No. 21 barrier, but he chose to stop: "Station is on the spot, waiting for the scouts to return."

Hassan didn't quite understand what Yan Liuyuan was going to do, but he still did it.

That night, the believers of Yan Liuyuan began to worship in the direction of the tent. This was a ritual that was spread from somewhere. They said that they would kneel to the gods a hundred times when they got up early and kneel to worship three times before eating at night, which was considered pious enough.

These nomads' belief in Yan Liuyuan is increasing day by day, and rituals are gradually beginning to appear.

Rituals are the usual rituals and rules, such as worshiping three animals when praying for rain, such as kowtowing in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras every day, etc.

It was not until the morning of the next day that Hassan hurried to the front of the tent with the heads of various tribes. At this time, Qiqige was combing Yan Liuyuan's hair.

Yan Liuyuan looked at Hassan: "If you have something to do, just say it."

Hassan said respectfully: "Congratulations to the master. A scout came back and said that the Pulan tribe and the Hegu tribe had arrived at the range of barrier No. 176, but barrier No. 176 seemed to know they were going early, so they had an ambush in advance. Now the two major tribes are unable to compete with barrier No. 176, and the retreat route is cut off from the rear. It seems that they are going to be buried outside barrier No. 176."

The heads of several other tribes were also happy. When the Pulan and Hegu tribes died, they would never have any enemies on the grassland.

Everyone also said in private that this hero of his family is probably a god. He was not even a soldier, and someone helped to get rid of his opponent.

But Yan Liuyuan pondered for a long time, then looked at the heads in front of him who were full of joy and said, "Prepare to get out, let's go to the barrier No. 176."

Hassan was stunned: "Master, is it a bit dangerous to go to Barrier No. 176 at this time? Why don't we continue to march towards the Fire Spring? Didn't we say that the defense there is already empty?"

Yan Liuyuan shook his head: "The population of Pulan and Hegu tribes is much larger than ours. If their strong and strong people die on the 176th Barrier, how many years will it take for the grassland to recover? Hassan, what I want is the cattle, sheep and subjects on the grassland, not an empty grassland."

Hassan and others were stunned. They did not expect that the master in front of them was going to save the Pulan tribe and the Hegu tribe. They vaguely felt the courage and ambition of each other. Perhaps this was the demeanor that the prairie lord should have!

Yan Liuyuan smiled and said, "Go and prepare. Barrier No. 176 is actually not as powerful as you imagined. A new dynasty on the grassland is about to be born. Why not just use their blood to sacrifice it?"
