On the snowfield, there were no cities.
The Qiangrong tribes were numerous, and over the centuries, after countless tribal conflicts, they barely established the leadership of the Royal Court.
Because they lacked unified cultural thought, rules, and systems, not even a unified language and currency, coupled with the constantly changing banners within the Royal Court, each Chanyu had different ideas, resulting in all tribes remaining like scattered sand.
For instance, the former Chanyu despised the cultural education of Wei Country and the architecture of Yan Country, so he ordered the dismantling of the hard-won cities built on the snowfield. He claimed that the whole snowfield was Qiang land, and there was no need to learn from the people of the Central Plains to build cities for defense; they were the most noble themselves.
The first time Geng Gong heard of this, he almost laughed his teeth out.
Without building cities, how could they be a nation?
