969:Battle of Northern Xinjiang (6)

The three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang are nomadic people, who have lived in tribal units for generations.

Because of the characteristics of living by water, the mobility of the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang is far greater than that of the Han farming people in the Central Plains.

For this reason, the cohesion of individual tribes is strong, but the cohesion between tribes and tribes is extremely poor.

In many cases, the tribes of northern Xinjiang will also have violent disputes over the ownership of a certain pasture, and even turn into regional wars.

The tribes of Northern Xinjiang are like a plate of scattered sand, and even if they are terrifyingly aggressive, they still cannot pose a substantial threat to the Central Plains.

It's just scattered sand, so why be afraid?

The emergence of the imperial court in northern Xinjiang greatly made up for this shortcoming.

A long time ago, there was no imperial court in northern Xinjiang, only three powerful giant tribes.

One generation produced an ambitious heir, who took the lead as the leader of the tribe, and two other tribes responded.

The three tribes joined forces to conquer other tribes large and small in northern Xinjiang.

While fighting and plundering, they devour their territory and population.

After the unification, the imperial court was established in northern Xinjiang, and the three tribes agreed that the king of the imperial court would be the king of the three families in turn.

This system was well implemented at the beginning, but the other two tribes were weakened due to natural disasters, and their voice in their hands became smaller and smaller, and finally became the dominant family of the Northern Xinjiang royal family.

The forces in northern Xinjiang have experienced several turmoil, and they have divided and merged.

To this day, this king of Northern Xinjiang, with the assistance of Wu Liba, has become a veritable master of Zhongxing.

If it weren't for the horse plague coming too suddenly, maybe the iron hooves of the northern frontier would have stepped on the land of the Central Plains.

Although the appearance of the imperial court became the glue of the various tribes, the characteristics of the nomads changed.

The people of northern Xinjiang are still accustomed to living in tribal units.

Sun Wen saw through this, and he used a scheme to divide the princes and stir up the political situation in northern Xinjiang.

In addition to the fourth prince who "committed suicide in fear of sin" and the second prince who was about to be sacrificed, other princes of northern Xinjiang were scattered all over northern Xinjiang and supported their own troops. Their behavior also further torn apart the internal harmony in northern Xinjiang, making it difficult for the troops and horses to be integrated.

Northern Xinjiang is like hemp rope, they work together and work together, and the combat power that bursts out can make the sun and the moon change color.

If this hemp rope is divided into more than a dozen strands, ordinary strong men will break it as soon as they pull it.

Breaking through the defense line of the northern frontier one by one is no longer a dream.

Jiang Pengji praised Sun Wen fiercely, not only verbally, but also gave him a flowing reward.

First, Sun Wen has made great contributions, and he can afford these honors.

Second, Sun Wen was sharp when he first arrived, and if Jiang Pengji didn't support him, maybe someone would squeeze him because of this.

The greater the power, the more complex the personnel, and the probability of contradictions is also rising.

Jiang Pengji doesn't ask them to love each other, as long as they do their jobs well and don't drag each other back.

She began planning the northern frontier at the age of twelve, and now she has strong soldiers and horses, and there is plenty of food and grass.

Everything is ready, only the beginning of spring is owed.

It is said that it is a discussion, and the gathering of several people is only to analyze the actual combat effectiveness of northern Xinjiang and the ways to deal with various emergencies.

Sun Wen successfully entered the front line, and he was very popular, but the northern Xinjiang side blew up.

This goes back some time -

The ninth prince became the big winner who had the last laugh, which can be described as a spring breeze.

The old immortal king of Northern Xinjiang suffered a stroke, and the powerful minister Haruncha strongly supported him, and the ninth prince naturally became the prince and held great power.

The taste of rights is fascinating.

The Ninth Prince enjoyed it for a few days, and finally remembered that he hadn't seen Sun Wen for several days.

I visited in person, and the people had already gone to the "account" empty.

Before leaving, Sun Wen was suspicious and delayed as much time as possible.

"Where's the man—"

The Ninth Prince was dumbfounded.

Although he didn't have much contact with Sun Wen, he already relied on the other party's clever calculations, and Northern Xinjiang still needed the other party's assistance.

The subordinates replied, not only were the people gone, but Sun Wen's tent was violently rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and nothing of value was gone.

"It looks like a horse bandit did it—" the subordinate said in embarrassment.

The corners of the Ninth Prince's mouth twitched, and he said, "Horse bandits, how can there be horse bandits in Mr. Sun's seclusion?"

The subordinate said, "But where Mr. Sun lives, there are indeed horse bandits."

The vast territory of northern Xinjiang and the rampant horse bandits not only disturbed the border of Chongzhou, but also the herdsmen in northern Xinjiang hated horse bandits.

These horse bandits did not dare to make a move against the big tribes, and at most they wandered on the fringes of the tribes.

Sun Wen has a special identity, in order to reduce his sense of existence, so as not to be noticed by others, he invited himself to live on the edge of the tribe.

There are few people here, and it is not easy to be spotted.

The ninth prince figured everything out and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Find, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find people - you have to see people alive, and you have to see corpses when you die!"

He also counted on Sun Wen to help him stabilize the imperial court and balance the forces of all parties.

After an in-depth understanding, the Ninth Prince knew that the salted fish of Haruncha could turn over thanks to Sun Wen's careful planning.

In other words, if Sun Wen is gone, the value of Haruncha will be greatly reduced.

What's the use of him asking for a salted fish?

Sun Wen disappeared, but the horse bandits in northern Xinjiang suffered, and dozens of horse bandit dens were bulldozed one after another.

However, no matter how many horse bandit dens were bulldozed, they did not find Sun Wen's whereabouts.

At the same time, several princes who fled to the fiefdom were gearing up, trying to force the imperial court to hand over power, making the nine princes' heads big.

"Did anyone find it—"

The ninth prince's mood was also manic, and the pressure of the imperial court and the pressure exerted by several brothers almost crushed his spine.

"No, no—" The subordinate who replied timidly whispered.

"Rubbish—don't go out and find it—"

The Nine Princes gasped and raised their hands to sweep everything they could touch to the ground.

As time went on, some people suspected that Sun Wen might not have been plundered by horse bandits, but maybe someone else had run away.

However, this reason is simply a joke in the eyes of the Nine Princes.

Sun Wen tried his best to help him get to the top and help him remove one obstacle after another, seeing that he was about to become famous, why did he run?

It doesn't make sense at all.

As time went by, the ninth prince was no longer reconciled, and he had to admit that something had happened to Sun Wen.

Without Sun Wen's advice, where would the ninth prince be able to stabilize the old fox and the aggressive brothers in the court?

The stronger you use it, the more it rebounds.

At this time, Beijiang received a letter from Chongzhou to crusade against Beijiang, which to some extent helped the Nine Princes attract all the artillery fire.

This is the second letter sent by Jiang Pengji.

Compared with the first warning, this time the wording is quite harsh, and it is completely incompatible.

The ninth prince said this at the court meeting, and the ministers were in an uproar and the people were panicked.

"Do you have a solution?"

The ninth prince sat on the throne and looked around, and the ministers who were opposite his gaze hung their heads and closed their eyes, not daring to look at him.

They all knew that it was not suitable for war in the northern Xinjiang now, but Jiang Pengji was already determined to fight, and even the envoy to the peace talks was humiliated many times...... In addition to facing the battle, there is a second choice in Northern Xinjiang?
