What are the requirements of the Han Ministry for the grassland peoples?

For Yang Yingqi, he only needs one thing, and that is "honesty" -- as long as the Mobei tribes are willing to be honest, Yang Yingqi would rather paste more than 100,000 quintals of grain every year.

But Xiao Tienu didn't think so, and after listening to Topjia's words, he asked rhetorically: "Although your people now have cattle and horses, some of them are only cows and horses. Do you want good weapons? Want a beautiful woman don't? Want to enjoy endless gold and silver treasures? ”

Topgar was stunned and said, "Of course." However, neither the Han nor the Khitan would sell us sophisticated weapons. As for beautiful women and gold and silver treasures, although we also have some, there are only so many of them in the places of your Han people. ”

Xiao Tienu said: "Weapons cannot be sold, this is the rule set by our ancestors. But if you are willing to be our warriors and obey our rules, you can use our weapons, eat our food, and enjoy the money you deserve. ”

Topjia hesitated for a moment and said, "So, is the Han still going to annex us?" ”

"Annexation?" Xiao Tienu said: "Don't say it so ugly! We are not going to levy your sheep and cattle or enslave your warriors, but to make the best of your abilities and get what you deserve. Besides, if there is a hero who can ensure that you continue to live this happy and free life, and that you will not starve to death in the coldest winter, then why should you hesitate and fear? ”

Topjia said: "Xiao Dashuai, is this really the case? Is there really such a good thing? ”

"Of course?" Xiao Tienu said: "I am willing to swear with my life, swear by my son's life, swear by my brother's life!" ”

"If we don't listen to him," he thought, "there will be a war and we will all be killed." Thinking of the benefits of trading with the Han merchants, he said, "Okay, Xiao Dashuai, if this is the case, then we are willing to follow you." But you can't deprive my father of the status of the patriarchs. ”

Xiao Tienu nodded and said, "Not only will I not deprive your father of his position, but I will also strengthen his position." Mu Qin was the first to come to me, and now I have given him all the land and population that I have dragged ochre. If you are willing to join the Ulan tribe, then I will give you all the land and population of Woduo. Whoever can't stand me like Tuoochre and Woduo, I will definitely let him have no place like Woduo, and even want to save his life like Tuooch. But if it is a person who comes to submit to us like Mu Qin, he will definitely be able to get the benefits that Mu Qin receives. ”

Topjia was overjoyed after hearing Xiao Tienu's words, and thought to himself: "If we can get the population and land of Woduo, then our power will be doubled!" "At the moment, I swore a blood oath with Xiao Tienu, referring to heaven and earth as a letter, and then went back to report the news.

After Topjia left, he said: "Sixth General, now we can run rampant in Mobei because the tribes here are still scattered sand, although Mu Qin and Topjia may temporarily obey our orders, but if we do so, the tribes of the grassland will snowball bigger and bigger, and in the end, it may prompt them to unify." I've heard General Seven say something about his thoughts on Mobei affairs, and it seems that he is against that. Are you doing this expedient for the sake of the war situation in the Northeast? ”

Xiao Tienu laughed when he heard this: "Does the seventh think so? Well, it's really strange that he knows Mobei so well. What I'm doing now is not expediency for expediency's sake. Lao Qi's thoughts actually don't contradict mine, but you don't know why. ”

He asked, "Please give the sixth general advice." ”

Xiao Tienu said: "I support Mu Qin and Dami because they are not strong enough. If it were a tribe more powerful than them, I wouldn't have given such a condition. Hoeing the strong and helping the weak is the only way to deal with the grassland tribes. Now we must set an example for them to taste the sweetness, or who will follow us. ”

He suddenly realized that the Seventh General had said that if possible, he would implement the Tui En Order in Mobei......

"It's too early to tell." Xiao Tienu said: "Our influence in Mobei is not enough, they will not obey us so easily." Let's take it one step at a time. ”

He said: "As for requisitioning these people as sergeants, well, these people are good at fighting, but don't let this cause trouble." After all, the Hu people do not know etiquette and righteousness, and it is easy to drive them into battle, so it is very difficult to make them peaceful. ”

"Liyi?" Xiao Tienu sneered: "It's because they have no etiquette that they can fight like this!" Hey! I have a sense of proportion in this matter, you don't have to say more! ”

Topjia was indeed capable, and on the second day he brought his father and several patriarchs to Xiao Tienu's tent. Dami and several patriarchs were nervous when they came, although Topjia said that they had no better choice at the moment, but after entering the camp, they were still very worried that Xiao Tienu would not keep his word.

However, the development of things was much smoother than they expected, it was not Xiao Tienu who came to receive them first, but Mu Qin and the two patriarchs who had already been submitted, seeing that Mu Qin was treated well, Dami and the others were a lot more relieved. Xiao Tienu set down the banquet and took out fine wine to entertain the patriarchs, so that these old herdsmen were so drunk that they could hardly distinguish things. Xiao Tienu was the master of Mu Qin's daughter to marry a kind of disease, and he married Topjia's sister as one of his wives, and promised to introduce them to marriage, so that the chiefs of the Mobei tribes and the nobles and ministers of the Han Department would intermarry for generations. Topjia and the others were more relieved when they heard this, and then asked Xiao Tienu why he came to Mobei.

Xiao Tienu said: "My eldest brother is fighting the Jurchens on the side of the Tongjiang River, and I made a detour to Mobei just to go to the northeast to help him fight. ”

When several patriarchs heard this, they all shouted, and they all invited themselves to be pioneers.

"It's no problem to fight anywhere, but I'm afraid that our brigade will go to the Tongjiang River, and the hometown here will be occupied by others." ”

"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Tienu said: "You bring all the clansmen, and we will migrate all the way over." As for the turf, hey! People can run, horses can run, but grasslands can't. When I finish the battle of Mingtongjiang, I will turn around and send you back - when the time comes, whoever occupies your grassland will not dare not return it! Also, there is money in the area of Tongjiang now, and I will allow you to go there to take any gold and silver, and women can rob them! ”

The patriarchs were all overjoyed when they heard this, and Mu Qin muttered: "From here to the Tongjiang River, you have to go through the Wugu Enemy Lie Command Division, the Wugu Department and the Eight Enemy Lie Divisions, but they are not dealing with the Jurchens. Does Xiao Dashuai want to use their strength? ”

Xiao Tienu said: "The Wugu Department has an enmity with us, and I don't dare to accept them without my eldest brother's promise." As for the enemy martyrs, I have nothing to do with them. It's enough for us to help Big Brother now, as long as they're willing to borrow the road. ”

was drinking wine, and suddenly a general outside the camp walked quickly to tell him that Woduo couldn't escape far, and his subordinates suddenly betrayed him, and actually brought him a Xiaozi flag to ask for a reward. Xiao Tienu was overjoyed and asked Mu Qin to verify his body, so he cut off his head and sacrificed the flag.

Ten days later, Xiao Tienu gathered all the clans, and a total of more than 44,600 people were in control, and Xiao Tienu selected another 3,000 people to be incorporated into the forward battalion, and gave good horses and swords, together with the original 5,000 people, under the command of the disease.

He also ordered Mu Qin and Tuo Pujia to lead 15,000 men each as the left and right wings, Dami controlled the rest of the men and horses, and Xiao Tienu commanded 50,000 people as the Chinese army.

The army marched slowly eastward, grazing cattle and marching at the same time.

The impact and shock caused by the continuous eastward movement of such a large force of more than 200,000 people along the way can be imagined. When the small tribes on the road saw it, they either avoided it from afar, or they accepted Xiao Tienu's reorganization or canonization, and went all the way to the territory of the old Liaowu Ancient Enemy Lie Commander Military Division, and only then did the eight enemy martyrs unite to intercept it, and the result was naturally defeated by Xiao Tienu. The enemy martyrs fled to the north, and Xiao Tienu did not chase after him, but only sent a messenger to inform the enemy martyrs that he was just borrowing the way, so that the enemy martyrs did not have to worry.

In fact, Xiao Tienu's words of "just borrowing the road" had been conveyed long before he arrived at this land, but at that time, the enemy martyrs refused to be gullible, and secondly, they couldn't let go of the landlord's self-esteem. After Xiao Tienu's victory, they showed leniency, and they did not dare to disbelieve or disagree, but they still did not dare to approach this army easily, but only sent people to apologize, and waited until Xiao Ziqi moved east before returning to their territory.

When he arrived at the western foot of Daxianbei Mountain, Wugubu heard the news that the Han Department was coming to take revenge and had already fled, and Xiao Tienu did not pay attention to him.

When Xiao Tienu was in Yunnei, he had more than 20,000 soldiers, and brought 10,000 people from the east, and after entering Mobei, he incorporated about 10,000 people, and at this time the direct combat team had reached 40,000, and Mu Qin and other subordinate troops under his control also had 40,000, Xiao Tienu had these 80,000 troops in hand, and he was very sure of reversing the entire Jinhan war situation.

At this time, there were two roads in front of Xiao Tienu: the first was to cross the Daxianbei Mountain and break directly into the rear of Huining, which was the route when they were "Long March", and the second was to turn south and enter the Linhuang Mansion in the old Liaoshangjing.

At the beginning, Xiao Tienu planned to take the previous road when he first set off from Elechuan, wanting to give Huining a surprise attack before the Jin people reacted. However, at this time, he had a wide range of troops, not to mention that it was extremely troublesome for a large army of more than 200,000 people to cross the Great Xianbei Mountain, and it would be very dangerous if he could not successfully solve the supply problem after crossing it. Therefore, Xiao Tienu changed his mind and led the army to the south into Linhuang Mansion, which was the place where Xiao Tienu fought guerrilla warfare back then, and after entering this place, he was really like a fish in water! The Jin people's troops left here to guard against the small tribes in Mobei are okay, how can they stop the Xiao Ziqi? Therefore, Xiao Tienu easily captured the old Liao Shangjing City, and I don't know how many times he has captured this Shangjing City. Lu Yanlun is also very familiar with the environment in this area, and he sent out a message to appease the people.

At this time, the Hermes-Epitek Manor in the Linhuang Mansion area was already quite developed, and when Xiao Tienu suddenly appeared, he almost suspected that they had fallen from the sky! Most of the merchants, village owners, and herdsmen here have a little friendship with Xiao Tienu, and they can't help but be pleasantly surprised when they hear that he came, and they are very cooperative with Lu Yanlun's decree, so in a few days, not only did Linhuang Mansion settle down, but Xiao Ziqi also collected a huge amount of grain and grass.

"Sixth General, you are coming this time, are you not leaving?" The owner of a manor asked, his manor Xiao Tienu also had a share.

"Haha, what do you say. Should go, and quickly. ”

"Ahh The owner of that manor was both surprised and disappointed.

"Why don't you ask me where I'm going?" Xiao Tienu said.

"This ...... Where are the six generals going? ”

"Haha!" Xiao Tienu said: "The place I want to go to, of course, is Huining!" ”
