By the afternoon of the next day, Lin Zimo woke up and the war was over. Turning over his body with difficulty, Zhu Rui hurriedly held him down and gently helped him take a pose: "Be careful, if you want to turn over and sue me, you can't turn it yourself, and the wound will be broken." Lin Zimo grinned: "How is the war?" ”

I was injured on my back, so I could only lie on my stomach, and my back hurt me, I really relied on it! Zhu Rui said: "Your plan is very good, while they are unprepared, all their grain and grass have been burned, while they are panicking, our army took the opportunity to chase and kill 200 li, killed and wounded tens of thousands of them and horses, and is now camping 200 li away." The tip of his nose snorted: "The grain is gone, most of the livestock are frozen to death, this king will see how they will live?" Lin Zimo coughed lightly: "Beware of them jumping over the wall in a hurry and counterattacking and looting." ”

Zhu Rui took the stalk rice porridge and fed him a small spoonful: "Don't worry, the two marshals and Master Wang are staring at the front, and there will be no big mistakes, otherwise what use do you want them?" Don't worry about anything else now, it's important to take care of your body. ”

Lin Zimo's injuries took five or six days to get better, and finally he didn't have to lie there all day. During this period, after several battles between the two sides, the Tatars were greatly injured and demoralized, and each time they suffered greater losses than the Han army.

During the war during Lin Zimo's recuperation, he was stuck for another month, and it seemed that it was already the end of the year. On this day, Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo were discussing what New Year's gifts to give to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, when suddenly the right marshal Fang Weijin came in with surprise on his face: "Marshal, the Yehenala tribe in the Tatar Alliance has arrived." ”

Zhu Rui stood up: "Oh, what's going on?" Fang Weijin's face flushed with excitement: "That kid sneaked up on my sergeant in front of me and asked to see us." I went to inquire and said that there was not enough food to eat, and the distribution was uneven, which caused dissatisfaction among the various departments, and many small tribes had the heart to join them. ”

Zhu Rui was overjoyed, this time the war has been stalemate for a year and a half, fortunately, the treasury is full, otherwise, it would have been dragged down. Waving his hand: "Bring that little soldier in immediately, I'll ask in person." ”

Outside the big tent, with the guards in, a big black man, with a full beard and a sheepskin robe, approached, and there was a smell of smell. After coming in, he bent down and saluted Zhu Rui: "The envoy of the Yehenala tribe, Damohan, see your lordship." Liu Changlu, who was next to Zhu Rui, shouted: "Get up" Da Mohan stood up and bent down respectfully.

Zhu Rui asked, "Are you Yehenara really sincere?" Da Mo hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, it is difficult to eat everywhere now, and our small tribe is even more difficult to sustain, so I only ask for mercy from the Han court." Zhu Rui laughed: "As long as you are sincere, of course my Han court will not treat you badly, but apart from you, are there any other tribes that are sincere?" Da Mohan said: "Yes, yes, but everyone is waiting." Zhu Rui nodded, as long as he had a heart. He immediately said: "You can go back and tell your Khan, just pull people out of the Tatar army alliance to ensure that you are well fed and drunk this winter and spring." ”

The Yehenala tribe is a small tribe of less than 50,000 people, and this time they sent troops, and they forced together more than 20,000 troops, and after several battles, there were still more than 10,000 people left, which can be said to be a heavy loss. The tribal leaders had long been dissatisfied, and seeing that they not only did not have enough to eat, but were also oppressed by the big tribes, they simply took risks and rebelled against the Tatar army.

The Yehenala tribe camped not far from the Han army, Zhu Rui listened to Master Wang's words, and asked people to put more than a dozen cauldrons outside the camp, and together with the Yehenala tribe, they were lively and lively, cooking, afraid that the Tatar army on the opposite side could not see clearly, and the pots and pans were rattling, and the aroma of meat and rice slowly lingered.

The Yehnara rebelled out of the Tatar camp, which immediately caused a riot among the tribes, and the Tatar commander easily suppressed it, but everyone was attracted by the smell of food wafting in the wind.

Many Tatar sergeants stood at the gate of the camp, stretching their necks to look at the bustle of the Han army from afar. Although I couldn't see anything, I was hooked by the vague fragrance and swallowed my saliva. Food is scarce, and those who have the power can make a fuss, and the people of the small tribe can't even make a fuss. Now that he was hooked by the fragrance, his stomach immediately thundered.

The Tatar commander Gray urgently convened a meeting of the tribal leaders, but except for a few relatively large tribes, the rest of the smaller tribes did not say a word.

Gray's mouth was full of froths, he was the eldest son of the Tatar Otan patriarch, at the age of thirty, he had always been ruthless, and he had a resounding reputation among all tribes. In the end, there was no result, and everyone broke up unhappily. In the second half of the night, three more small tribes secretly defected to the Han army, and the Tatar military camp was gloomy and panicked.

Emperor Longsheng received Zhu Rui's eight-hundred-mile urgent report, and laughed happily. At this time, it was in the early dynasty, and the ministers looked at the emperor in amazement, not knowing what made him so out of shape. Emperor Longsheng personally picked up the urgent report and read: "Now that the Tatars are partial, all the four tribes have defected to my Han court, how to settle it, please discuss with the court." The ministers made an uproar, they didn't expect that Zhu Rui, who was usually inconspicuous, would have such a ability to subdue the various ministries in the North.

Emperor Longsheng's mood was unprecedentedly comfortable, and he looked at Lin Huaide, who was standing behind him, and Lin Huaide, who was newly promoted from the Sanpin Household Department, and said with a smile: "This battle can be won so quickly, and Lin Zimo in the north of the town is indispensable, and Lin Aiqing has a good family education." "Recently, because he was promoted to a high-ranking official from the third grade, Lin Huaide can also go to the palace to participate in court affairs, and he is tremblingly listening to the speeches of the ministers, and he will not react for a while who Zhenbei Hou is, knowing that the official next to him touched him, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly kneeled down: "The ministers are afraid" Emperor Longsheng does not call Lin Zimo King Jing here, but calls him Zhenbeihou, which is a kind of respect for the Lin family, so that Lin Huai is grateful. Emperor Longsheng called it like this, which means that Lin Zimo was not mentioned as a prince, but a descendant of the Lin family.

A few days later, the holy decree was transmitted back to the army, giving Zhu Rui full authority to dispose of it, which was also a great trust in him.

The panic continued to spread, and many small soldiers in the Tatar army had already fled secretly. Gray ordered a bloody crackdown, cutting down many captured soldiers, but instead of stopping the soldiers from escaping, it caused a lot of resistance.

The remaining tribal leaders found Gray together and built together: "It's better to seek a meeting, at least we can pass this winter and next spring." Gray said angrily, "Is this battle in vain? What about the people and things that were lost? A tribal leader said: "If we don't seek peace, the people below will not be able to survive, and there are already old people and children in our tribe who have died." This resonated with many people.

Gray said viciously: "Anyway, you can't be sincere, if anyone incites again, it's like this." As he spoke, his hand fell, and a table beside him was split in half, and the meeting broke up unhappily.

With the surrender of several tribes, the battle line of the Han army was lengthened. Of course, let them be in a straight line, and there is also the meaning of precautions, and the province will be fooled and copied by someone at home.

Zhu Rui urgently transferred grain, chickens, ducks, fish and meat from all over the country to fight psychological warfare with the Tatar army facing off against the child. Every day, the various scents wafting in the wind tightly captured the hearts of the Tatar soldiers, not to mention being by, even the Tatar soldiers. This kind of situation of seeing, smelling, and not being able to eat makes people's hearts itch, and they have no ability to grab it, so they can only look at it.

After holding out for a few more days, at last, several more tribes secretly surrendered, many of them relatively large, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the Tatar barracks were empty.

In fact, not only they are in a hurry, but these Tatar tribes who have surrendered to Cheng are also in a hurry. Zhu Rui promised them that he would provide some food and cloth to each tribe that had surrendered to help them survive the harsh winter. However, the Tatar army that insisted on blocking the way, so that they could not send things back to their tribes, and seeing that the weather was so cold that if there was no food, the tribes would not be able to withstand it.

The leaders of the tribes consulted, and each sent people to his own tribes to mobilize them to come over as well. So, when they entered the month of Layue, the Tatar army was left with only Tatar and one of his diehards. Just as Gray was thundering and was about to fight to the death with the tribes who had surrendered to the past, the Tatar Wutan patriarch sent a messenger to convey the patriarch's meaning and negotiate peace with the Han court in an all-round way.

Gray didn't want to, and no one listened to him. The messenger was his second brother, Siegel, the son of another wife of the patriarch, who had always been at odds with Gray, and now he had the opportunity to step on him, and of course he was glad to do so. On the second day of his arrival, on behalf of the Tatar Tantan people, he handed over the letter of surrender. Since then, the northern land has been completely taken and has become a vassal state of the Great Han.

The news reached the Han court, and the whole country was boiling. Of course, the people want to be peaceful, which means that they don't have to pay more taxes, they don't have to be afraid.

Negotiate with the tribes, and go to Beijing together to present the book and table, and all kinds of cattle, sheep, pig iron, etc. Of course, food support from the Han Dynasty was also in place, so that the people in their tribe could eat. Lin Zimo secretly slandered in his heart, is this a victory? Or defeated? In the end, the things that went out of the Han Dynasty were dozens of times what they offered.

Zhu Rui laughed at him: "This is not something that can be measured, it depends on the results inside." Lin Zimo rolled his eyes: "Of course I know, but I'm not angry." Zhu Rui smiled: "No way, you can't destroy all these people at once, if you don't provide them with food, you still have to come to loot." Lin Zimo's eyes lit up: "Then let them be self-sufficient, let them farm, that is, they can eat enough, they don't worry about other things, and they can also weaken their combat effectiveness, who doesn't live on horseback all year round, they are not so strong."

Zhu Rui was also overjoyed: "When you return to the capital, you write a detailed recital and present it to the imperial brother." "Every time it is a matter of hard work to defeat the Northlanders, but they have no stable source of livelihood, once a disaster occurs, there is not enough food to eat, they will definitely plunder everywhere, this is a headache for every emperor, if it can be solved, once and for all, there is no need to worry about the loss of life.

Zhu Rui ordered Fang Weijin to temporarily serve as the commander of the border pass, and he took the leaders of various departments to the capital together.
