Chapter 845: The Gude Mountains are exhausted
"It's strictly forbidden to leak out, where are they being held now?"
Zhao Yun was dressed in white and was very handsome.
However, when he came, he was also slightly disguised and was not discovered.
Two thousand heavy cavalry also entered the camp in batches.
The heavy armor was also hidden and not worn on the body.
"Zilong, you come with me, they are in my mansion."
Cheng Yuanzhi's Captain's Mansion also has more than a dozen courtyards, hundreds of rooms, and twenty people, so naturally there is no problem.
Mao Jue and the others were all detained in a courtyard, which was also heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without Cheng Yuanzhi's order.
Except for Cheng Yuanzhi's apprentices, they will be sent in at a fixed time every day.
Before Zhao Yun came, no one else had contact with Mao Jue.
Even Ma Bo is now under house arrest.
And the Gude tribe that cooperated with Marza and took down Mao Jue and others is now also given a gag order, and Cheng Yuanzhi sent a team of cavalry to the Gude tribe, nominally to protect the Gude tribe.
If the news spreads, the people of the Mustang and Leeds tribes may first take revenge on the Gude tribe, and then flee far into the grasslands.
The Leeds tribe, in particular, is only four hundred miles away from the Gude tribe.
All of them cavalry can definitely attack the Gude tribe and then flee.
The Gude tribe was only a small tribe with a population of less than five hundred, and it was simply unable to resist the attack of the Leeds tribe.
For the 1,000 cavalry sent by Cheng Yuanzhi, they were very welcome.
A herd of cattle and sheep was also slaughtered for the hospitality of the cavalry.
The Gude tribe is only a small tribe, but they have already made the most important choice by cooperating with Malza to take down Mao Jue and others.
They bet everything on Cheng Yuanzhi and on the Han cavalry.
The Gude tribe is just a small tribe, and their chieftain is not willing to be a small tribe himself.
But the steppes are no longer allowed to start wars without permission.
Although their small tribe is safe, and they don't have to worry about being wiped out all the time, it is difficult for them to grow.
This opportunity, he could not miss.
In winter, many people did not have enough to eat, but he still slaughtered a large number of cattle and sheep to entertain the Han cavalry.
This batch of cattle and sheep is only eaten by the Han cavalry, not by the old men of the tribe, nor by the warriors of the tribe.
The more they give now, the more they will get when the Wild Horse tribe is destroyed.
Cheng Yuanzhi will never treat his own people badly.
At the beginning, there were still many people in the Gude tribe who were reluctant to take out cattle and sheep to entertain the Han cavalry.
But after being whipped by Goodbeth, he was much more honest.
Not only the cattle and sheep are entertained, but the mare's milk wine is also a small bag for every Han soldier.
Almost all the inventory of the Gude tribe.
If next year, the Gude tribe is not rewarded, they will disappear from the steppe.
At the beginning of winter, the tribe has slaughtered a lot of cattle and sheep and made them into jerky, which is their winter food.
Before the arrival of the Han cavalry, the Gude tribe had only 2,000 cattle and sheep left.
And the Han cavalry was waiting for this time, and the cattle and sheep were directly reduced by 500 heads.
Fifty cattle and sheep were killed every day, and if a thousand Han soldiers stayed in the Gude tribe for a month, all the cattle and sheep of the Gude tribe would be killed.
By the beginning of spring next year, the Gude tribe will no longer have to graze.
And then a lot of them will starve to death, or leave.
The Gude tribe will disappear.
But the chieftain Gudebai still has a high prestige among the tribe, and even if he is desperate and there are many people who oppose it, he is still suppressed by Gudebai.
If you can be a chief, at least your hand holding ability will not be bad, otherwise you will be driven down a long time ago.
No tribe would make their chief a useless coward.
When the chiefs are strong, there is hope for their tribes.
Everyone wants their chief to be like a hero.
If it doesn't work, then replace it.
Change the most powerful warrior of the tribe to be the chieftain.
The snow on the grassland is gradually melting, and the coldest days have passed.
People from other tribes finally had smiles on their faces, and some drove their cattle and sheep to distant places.
But among the Gude tribes, many people still can't leave.
And they have no sheep or cattle.
There were only 200 cattle and 100 sheep left in the tribe.
The already weak Gude tribe is even poorer.
For the Gude tribe, it was a big gamble, and if it lost, everything was over.
But if they win, they will at least become medium-sized tribes.
And they can be regarded as Cheng Yuanzhi's henchmen, even if they are a large tribe in the future, they can be expected.
Therefore, even if the people of the tribe were very bitter, Goodbai still gritted his teeth and entertained the thousand cavalrymen with delicious food and drink.
Because they were sent by Cheng Yuanzhi, the captain of the Gokarasuma school.
"Chief, if we continue like this, we will have to kill the horses."
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer cattle and sheep in the tribe, and there was not much left, the people in the tribe were very anxious.
Although they are gradually integrating into the Han Dynasty, they have not yet reached the stage of complete belief in the Han people.
They are still scared in their hearts, afraid that the Han people will turn their faces and not recognize people.
For the Han people, war horses are a scarce resource, but for the grassland tribes, war horses are also an important resource.
Unless there are too many horses in the tribe, they will never let them out.
"War horse, kill."
Gu Debai will not stop at this time, since he has bet all of them, he will pick up a little more at this time, what will Cheng Yuanzhi think?
Does he think that he is a snake and a rat at both ends, swaying?
Therefore, even if the last horse of the tribe is slaughtered, they must ensure that a thousand Han Chinese cavalry can feed their tribe.
They can go hungry themselves, but they must not let the Han people go hungry.
He won't give Cheng Yuanzhi any excuses.
He didn't want Cheng Yuanzhi to say a word at that time, when a thousand cavalry were guarding you in your tribe, but you couldn't eat, you still have the face to ask for something?
As long as there was something to be slaughtered, as long as there was something to eat, Goodwhite first gave a thousand Han cavalry, and then to the people of their own tribe.
The Gude tribe was only a small tribe, and all of them combined were less than five hundred.
It would be too difficult for them to raise a thousand Han cavalry.
But there is no way, he must be so.
The more the Han cavalry ate, the more miserable the Gude tribe was, and the more they would get when the time came.
"It should be soon, let everyone support for a few days." The pressure on Goodbeth is mounting.
The Gude tribe is running out of water.
They may not be able to wait for Cheng Yuanzhi to destroy the Wild Horse Tribe, so they will not be able to kill them first.
The snow had not completely melted, and Zhao Yun set off with two thousand heavily armored cavalry one morning.
All three tribes are medium-sized, and the other tribe is the strongest with the wild horse tribe.
Although the population of the Leeds tribe is larger than that of the Wild Horse Tribe, when it comes to warriors, the Wild Horse tribe is still more numerous.
After all, the Mustang tribe was a tribe of 5,000 people before, but now there are 2,000 fewer people, but those who are missing are the old people and weak families.
Mighty warriors remain in the tribe.
