However, he said that the news of the disastrous defeat of the Mongol coalition army soon spread to the grassland, and it immediately set off a stormy wave.

No one expected that the seemingly unstoppable Mongol coalition army would be wiped out like this!

You know, this army has gathered more than 60,000 elite iron cavalry from the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing! This is a huge force that is enough to sweep across the steppe!

After receiving the news, the leaders of the Mongol tribes were shocked, but they also reacted violently, and they urgently recalled their own troops who were raiding the territory of the Han people in the south.

Such actions of the Mongolian tribes are naturally to preserve their strength and guard against threats, but at the same time, they are also to accumulate strength and covet opportunities.

The steppe has always believed in the law of the jungle, and internal wars between Mongolian tribes are also common and extremely cruel, and every few years we hear stories of one Mongolian tribe being exterminated by another Mongolian tribe.

For the Mongol tribes, the threat they faced came not only from the Han dynasty from within, but also from their Mongol clans from within.

At this time, no one knew the details of the defeat of the Mongolian coalition army, and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes naturally did not dare to let their own warriors continue to stay in the territory of the Han people, for fear that the warriors of their own tribe would also suffer the same fate, and they would inevitably be seriously injured at that time!

At the same time, with the annihilation of the Mongol coalition army, the most damaged force was naturally the Dzungar Khanate, but there were also many Mongolian tribes who also suffered heavy losses, and these Mongolian tribes that suffered heavy losses naturally became fat in the eyes of the rest of the Mongolian tribes!

As far as the Mongolian tribes are concerned, since the Han people have suddenly become a hard bone to gnaw this year, they will not mind using the means of annexing their own tribes in order to maintain their own survival and increase their strength.

As a result, with the retreat of the Mongolian tribes, the border wars in the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty soon ended completely, and the fire of this year suddenly stopped and came to an end.

However, while the Han officials and people everywhere breathed a sigh of relief, the grassland was still full of scouts from various tribes, and the scouts were everywhere to inquire about the detailed news of the crushing defeat of the Mongol coalition army, as well as the movements and truths of the tribes in the steppe.

For a time, all the Mongolian tribes were in the rumor, either ready to move, or heavily guarded.

It was under these circumstances that Sigmu led more than 7,000 remnants of the Mongol coalition army back to the Hetao steppe.

*

Among the tribes of the Mongolian right-wing, the Ordos tribe monopolizes the rich Hetao Plain, which is not only the most powerful, but also the common leader of all the tribes of the Mongolian right-wing.

When Sigmu returned to the Ordos tribe, Qi Yan, the chief leader of the Ordos tribe, immediately received the news.

Qigmu is Qiyan's favorite son, since the news of the defeat of the Mongol coalition army reached the grassland, Qiyan has been worried about the safety of Qigmu, and now after receiving the news that Qigmu returned to the Hetao Plain safely, Qiyan was overjoyed.

In particular, this joy intensified when Qiyan discovered that most of the more than 7,000 remnants of the soldiers that Sigmu had brought back to the grassland were warriors from the Ordos tribe.

At present, the situation in the grassland has become more and more complicated, even the most powerful Ordos tribe does not dare to guarantee that it will be alone, and the strength of the tribe is naturally the stronger the better!

Therefore, Qiyan immediately summoned Sigmu to the king's tent, and did not bother to tell Sigmu about his worries during this time, but directly asked Sigmu about the details of the defeat of the Mongol coalition army.

Qi Gemu did not dare to hide anything, and soon told the details of the defeat of the Mongol coalition army to Qi Yan.

From the lone army at the beginning of the Mongol coalition army, to the repeated setbacks of the Mongol coalition army under the city of Jiezhou, to the heavy losses of the Mongol coalition army after several divisions, and then to the defeat of the Mongol coalition army after being surrounded by the Han army...... And so on and so forth, all without any omissions.

Of course, when Sigmu spoke, he naturally avoided the important and trivialized, but he put all the responsibility for the defeat of the Mongol coalition army on the coach Bagen, who believed that his betrayal of the Mongol coalition army this time was all due to compulsion.

"Father, that's how it happened! If it weren't for Bagan's stubbornness and arrogance, the Mongol coalition would never have suffered this fiasco!

He not only insisted on leading the Mongol coalition army deep into the enemy's territory, but also repeatedly divided the troops to give the Han army the opportunity to break through one by one, and refused to retreat and missed the last opportunity to preserve strength, and finally was surrounded by the Han army, at that time the Mongol coalition army had lost most of its strength, and the Han army not only had an obvious advantage in strength, but also occupied the favorable terrain on both sides of the Weishui, which was a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime, and Bagen still wanted to die and struggle to the death......

As a representative of our Mongolian right-wing departments, the child naturally couldn't watch the stupidity and stubbornness of our warriors being buried in Bagen, so he secretly contacted the commander of the Han army, betrayed Bagen during the decisive battle of Weishui, and annihilated all the Dzungar troops together with the Han army!

It is precisely because of this that the child can return to the grassland with the remaining warriors! If it weren't for that, the child and the more than 7,000 Mongolian right-wing warriors would have to stay in the territory of the Han people forever! ”

After finishing speaking, Siegmu's face was a little apprehensive, and he peeked at the change in Qiyan's expression.

Although Sigmu didn't think that what he did was wrong, betraying his own people was not a good thing after all, so Siegmu was also worried that Qiyan would open his mouth to blame him.

Qi Yan is a short and stout man, with standard Mongolian facial features, dark and rough complexion, just like a Mongolian horse wrangler who can be seen everywhere, but because he has been the leader of the Mongolian right-wing alliance for a long time, his hands and feet are full of domineering and majesty.

At this time, under the peeping eyes of Sigmu, Qiyan's face was a little cloudy.

After a long time, Qi Yan finally spoke slowly and said, "In other words, this fiasco of the Mongolian coalition army is largely due to your rebellion?" ”

Sigmu hurriedly explained again: "Father, I am here for the lives of the warriors, and also for the sake of saving some vitality for our Ordos tribe, and the child can only do this at that time!"

Besides, the kid thinks this is a great opportunity for us! Since the Dzungar tribes returned to the steppe, they have been rampant and domineering, and even forced our Mongolian right-wing tribes to bow down to their Khan Geldan! Because of the natural disasters for many years, we are a little powerless for a while, and we can only temporarily endure the humiliation and surrender on the surface, but the Dzungar tribe is still not satisfied, and they want to further annex us!

The child thinks that compared with the Han court, the Junggar tribe is our big problem! Taking advantage of this opportunity, the child left all the more than 30,000 troops of the Dzungar tribe in the territory of the Han people, and how many troops did the Dzungar tribe have in total? After this incident, it will inevitably be a big loss of vitality!

The child also heard that although the Dzungar tribe has unified the Western Regions over the years, it seems to be infinitely beautiful, but the internal instability is not stable, not only the tribes in the Western Regions are still secretly dissatisfied, but the elder brother of Geldan has always been accumulating strength to compete for the position, so he can only squeeze out 50,000 troops into the grassland this time, but now more than 30,000 troops have been wiped out in the territory of the Han people, if we try to destroy the only remaining 10,000 Dzungar cavalry on the grassland, the Dzungar tribe will not be able to invade the grassland again! ”

Hearing Sigmu's words, Qi Yan couldn't help but move slightly!

Seeing Qi Yan's performance, Qi Gemu knew that Qi Yan was already tempted.

After all, the matter of the Mongolian right-wing bowing to the Dzungar Khanate has always been a hateful thing in Qiyan's heart, and Qiyan also deeply understands the threat of the Dzungar Khanate to the major tribes of the Mongolian right-wing.

So, Sigmu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Father, what kind of thing is he from the Dzungar tribe?" It's just a branch of Warat back then, and Warat was just a serf during the Heavenly Khan period! And our Ordos tribe used to be the nobles under the tent of the Heavenly Khan, and has been the leader of all the tribes on the right wing of Mongolia for hundreds of years, how can we submit to the Dzungar tribe for a long time? If you don't resist, sooner or later you will be annexed by the Dzungar tribes, and then what kind of face will you have to meet the ancestors? ”

After hearing these words of Sigmu, Qi Yan finally sighed deeply and said: "Don't look down on Wara, this tribe is of course from a low background, but in the past hundred years, they are the strongest among my Mongolian tribes, and the battle of Tumubao that year defeated more than 100,000 troops of the Han people, and even captured the emperor of the Han people alive, such a great military achievement is enough to make them raise their heads and be people!" Now there is also a Junggar tribe that dominates the Western Regions......

Compared to Warat, our tribes are dwarfed, what can we do if we were once nobles under the tent of the Heavenly Khan? The Horqin tribe is the direct descendant of Tian Khan, a member of the Golden Family, and the leader of the Mongolian left, and now they can only survive under the threat of the Jianzhou Jurchen? Alas! Our Mongolian people are really decayed, and we can no longer regain the glory of the Tian Khan period......"

After a little emotion, Qi Yan suddenly changed his words and said: "But what you said is also right, the glory and strength of our Ordos tribe are the ancestors who cut through thorns and thorns, and they must not be defeated in my hands!" Therefore, our Ordos tribe must not be annexed by the Junggar tribe! ”

Hearing what Qi Yan said, Qi Gemu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "So, father, you also agree with my approach?" ”

Qi Yan nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "All your decisions are for the sake of our tribe, I naturally can't accuse you of anything, but I'm a little worried about your reputation...... Sooner or later, you will inherit my position and become the great leader of the Ordos tribe and the leader of the Mongolian right wing, but after this betrayal, I am afraid that I will be despised by some people in the future! ”

Sigmu didn't care, and said, "As long as our Ordos tribe can still maintain its strength today, who would dare to underestimate me?" ”

After a pause, Qi Gemu said softly: "Father, according to the agreement between me and the Han people, as a reward for our rebellion, the Han people will give you 200,000 stones of grain and grass!" Among them, 50,000 stone grain and grass were secretly handed over to us alone, and there was no need to distribute them with the rest of the tribes, and the remaining 150,000 stone grain and grass could be obtained by our Ordos tribe as the leader of the alliance!

During the Weishui War, the child also kept an extra eye, and when fighting with the Dzungar cavalry, he also let the soldiers of the rest of the tribes charge ahead, and the strength of our Ordos tribe was the most intact......

In the past few years, because of the natural disasters for many years, all the tribes have been injured, and this year's southward raiding has not yielded any gains, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive this cold winter! And after our Ordos tribe has this batch of grain and grass, it is enough to ensure that most of the tribesmen have a full stomach...... Father, this is not an opportunity for our Ordos tribe to become stronger! ”

Hearing what Qi Gemu meant, Qi Yan's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "This batch of grain and grass is enough for 200,000 stones, which is not a small amount...... As far as I know, the territory of the Han people has also been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, and many Han people are not full of food. ”

For the Mongolian people, 200,000 stone grain and grass is by no means a small amount, and it is no wonder that Qiyan will suffer from gains and losses.

Qi Gemu said with a smile: "Father, you also know the temperament of Han officials, they value their emperor's face the most, and the Han Qin Cha represents the Han emperor, and he will never break his word!" If the Han Qincha wanted to break his word, he would not have let me return to the grassland with the rest of the warriors! According to my agreement with the Han people, after 14 days at the latest, the Han people will transport this batch of grain to the junction of the Hetao Plain and Shaanxi! ”

After begging Yan pondered for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said: "Since sooner or later you have to turn your face with the Dzungar tribe, then you don't have to worry too much!" Before the Han people sent grain and grass, it was necessary to wipe out the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Dzungar tribe remaining on the grassland! Just like you said, as long as you lose 50,000 troops in one go, even the Dzungar tribe will be greatly damaged! ”

After speaking, Qi Yan glanced at Qi Gemu deeply, and said: "At present, because of the fiasco of the Mongol coalition army, the situation on the grassland is a little complicated, and now with this batch of grain and grass, it is just right to divert the attention of the tribes, and through the distribution of this batch of grain and grass, let them unite to deal with this remnant army of the Junggar tribe...... As for how our Ordos tribe will become stronger, that's a matter for later, let's talk about it later! ”
