Chapter 1285: Trespass will be rewarded
Of course, the chess piece is the big food merchant who is bent on monopolizing the Anxi trade route, but to this day, can everyone's ideas still maintain their original goal?
Before the Qin and Jin Dynasty set out to conquer Anxi, they were more concerned about consolidating the Tang Dynasty's dominance in Anxi, and who would have thought that they would easily cross the Green Mountains and even penetrate into Khorasan, the hinterland of the Great Food?
In addition, it only took more than half a year for the Tang soldiers to sweep through most of the South Asian subcontinent, including the most core areas of India in later generations within the control of the Tang Dynasty's forces.
The performance of the Great Cannibal was obviously lower than expected, and the Governor of Khorasan, Abbas, was like a piece of rotten wood, barely able to fight back in front of the Shenwu army, and the reinforcements that came later also looked very weak in the face of attack tactics.
It seems that the great cannibal who dominates the Persian homeland with its strength is just a fat man, waiting for a small finger to easily puncture his disguise.
An urgent military report was delivered, and Qin Jin was furious when he saw it, and the Qarluq department and some of the Sogdian cavalry actually ignored the military order and sent troops to attack the baggage team behind Dashi without authorization.
What he was worried about was not the safety of these steppe barbarian tribes, but whether such disobedience to orders would serve a bad example to other departments.
In fact, both the Grolu and the Bahans belonged to the steppe tribes who lived on nomadism and raiding, and their nature was to burn and loot. To forbid these people to do what is natural is to put a piece of meat before a lion and not let it eat it.
Lions will go berserk, and in the same way, these steppe barbarians will also choose to take risks in the face of great temptation.
Of course, Gu Lulu and others dared to attack boldly with confidence, which also had a lot to do with the large and small victories they had won since the surrender of the Shenwu Army.
The fear of the great cannibals of these steppe barbarians is being disintegrated little by little by these victories, large and small.
The ferocious and confident side regained the upper hand, and it became natural to disrespect orders and loot without permission.
"Send people, go and deal with these people, and don't let them go through the same path as Kusi Lao!"
Although Qin Jin was angry, he still didn't want them to pay too heavy a price because of greed and rashness.
Zheng Xianli felt that it didn't matter.
"Since they ignore the prime minister's military orders, let them bear it alone, if they win and return, it is good, if they fail, they are also to blame. Why should the prime minister worry about them?"
Qin Jin said:
"If the cannibals win easily, the morale of the army will surely be great, and if we do not stop it, more than half of the previous work will be wasted. ”
Since the fall of Mulu City, the Great Cannibal's will to fight has continued to decline, and all Qin Jin has to do is to make the Great Cannibal's military morale reach its lowest point.
Zheng Xianli knew that the overall situation was important, even if he was disgusted with the Grolu people and Gu Lulu, he had to obey Qin Jin's orders.
When he led thousands of Shenwu troops to drive the Ji River south of Gorgan on foot, there was only a mess left on both banks, and almost all the steppe barbarians who participated in the raid had left this temporary assembly place.
Led by the Qarluq tribe, the vast majority of the people rushed to join the ranks of looting and plundering.
Gu Lulu has never been so happy, this gamble is half right, and the Tang people have always been unaccountable.
If he was the only one who violated the military order of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it would be fine, and now almost all the foot soldiers who participated in the attack disobeyed the military order.
Could it be that the Tang people can still dispose of all the barbarian leaders?
If Qin Jin really dared to do this, wouldn't all the grassland tribes that had just regained their attachment to the Tang Dynasty be forced to rebel?
Moreover, Glolu did not want to challenge the authority of Qin Jin, all he wanted was to grab some materials and use them to expand his subordinates.
That's all.
The looting went smoothly, and since the Qarluq tribe was in the lead, almost half of the fattest and best supplies were taken by them.
In just one morning's work, almost everyone was full of money and materials.
Their first priority was the dinar of the Great Food Currency, then weapons and skins, and then food.
Because once the grain was insufficient, there would be a supply from the Tang Dynasty, and they did not worry about eating, and weapons and leather goods could be sold at a high price except for their own use. As for the dinar used by the Great Cannibal, it is the most valuable coin west of the Green Ridge.
In addition to the right part of Grolo, which has just been integrated, even the left part of Grolo, which has just been integrated, has also been added. It's just that Mo Jianlian is timid and rushes behind, and the left part of Grolo can only drink some soup behind the meat-eating tribe.
Rao is so, and Mo Jianlian is also content.
His biggest point is that he is self-aware, if it weren't for the support of the Tang Dynasty, with his prestige and ability, I am afraid that he would have been taken away from Ye Hu's position long ago.
The fierce and cunning Gu Lu is his worst enemy.
Therefore, he is the person who has no thoughts of wrongdoing, and only plans to follow the footsteps of the Shenwu Army wholeheartedly, reap some benefits on the way to the west, and then return to the river to live a peaceful nomadic life.
Now I followed to loot, but I didn't want to appear too isolated among the various departments of the grassland.
Just as the ministries were about to return with a full load, the Great Cannibal suddenly attacked.
At this time, they were more than thirty miles away from the temporary assembly place, the Ji River.
The right side of the bone Grolu bore the brunt of the attack, because everyone's bodies and horses were full of goods, and the normal march was affected, not to mention the sudden appearance of the Great Eater cavalry in response to the battle?
For a time, these impaired steppe warriors were caught off guard and fell off their horses, and even now, they still have no intention of giving up these dragged goods.
The other tribes fought on their own, and when they saw that the Qarluqs were attacked, they scattered and retreated, ignoring their "leaders".
Seeing this, Gu Lulu scolded these bastards, but to no avail.
The cavalry of the Great Cannibal was obviously prepared, and once it was bitten, it would be difficult to get out easily.
He could only choose to resist, and at the same time shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to abandon those cumbersome goods, otherwise his life would be gone, what was the use of asking for goods......
At the critical moment, Gu Lulu finally woke up, no matter how good the money is, it is not important to die!
As for the other tribes that fought separately and scattered in all directions, they were not much better, and since the Great Cannibals came prepared, they would not arrange only one cavalry for a surprise attack.
I saw that there were big cannibal cavalry in iron armor surging over like a tide in all directions, which looked like a wave of despair in people's hearts.
