Chapter 780: The Dust Settles
"The high priest and priest of the Xuanhuang clan wish to see you!"
"The high priest and priest of the Xuanhuang clan wish to see you!"
"The high priest and priest of the Xuanhuang clan wish to see you!"
……
Yun Chang walked towards the main hall with a solemn expression holding the Guishun table and the roster, while Yun Ye followed behind half a step behind.
There was silence in the main hall, all waiting for the high priest and the priest of the desolate clan to come to the audience.
Entering the court, Yun Chang and Yun Ye passed through the middle of the civil and military columns, until they came to the middle, and then Yun Chang knelt on the ground with the Guishun table and the roster of people, and Yun Ye knelt on the ground half a step behind.
The faces of the two were very calm, they did not make this big gift when they entered the palace for the first time, but this time they entered the palace to see each other, they made a big gift in front of the civil and military officials.
Kneeling on the ground, this is the courtesy of courtiers to meet the monarch! The dust has settled on the negotiation of Guishun, and Yunchang immediately adjusted his mentality, since Guishun Dazhou is already a certainty, he should put himself in the position of a courtier.
So this time when he entered the palace, he decided to kneel, and if he didn't kneel this time, he would kneel in the future, and it would be nothing to kneel once in advance.
After Yun Ye heard this, his expression changed several times, and he finally accepted it, because he knew in his heart that he had already surrendered, and that was the courtier of the Great Zhou.
"The high priest of the desolate clan, Yun Chang, knocked to see His Majesty the Emperor, my desolate clan has been living in the great wilderness, living in poverty, and I have no choice but to repeatedly offend the majesty of the Celestial Empire. After Yun Chang finished speaking, he touched the ground with his head, and Yun Ye followed behind and touched the ground with his head.
Baiguan knelt down when he saw the high priest of the desolate clan enter the temple, and he was still a little surprised in his heart, although the negotiation had ended, but after all, the desolate clan was not officially surrendered.
Seeing the uncle and nephew of the Yun family kneeling on the ground, Tang Ning was still very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I am very relieved that the desolate clan has returned, and the high priest and priest wish to rise!" ”
Yun Chang and Yun Ye kowtowed again before they got up, and Yun Chang said respectfully: "When I left the Wild Clan, the people in the clan were very excited, and this submission table gathered the voices and wishes of the people of the whole clan. ”
After obtaining the emperor's permission, Yun Chang's deep voice echoed in the hall, this submission table did not have flowery rhetoric, but it was very heavy, because the life of the desolate people in the great wilderness was so difficult.
After the Guishun table was read, Yunchang presented the Guishun table and the list of people, and Hong Cheng took it and presented it to the emperor's imperial case.
Subsequently, the hundred officials congratulated in unison, and the return of the desolate tribe was a rare event since the opening of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Tang Ning encouraged, and then issued a will to reward Yunchang, Yunchang was named the Duke of Shunguo, and at the same time, the emperor also issued a decree to recognize Yunchang's niece Yun Xiaoqi as his sister and Princess Zhaoping.
Then Tang Ning issued an order, and three days later, hundreds of officials followed the Taimiao Temple.
The hundred officials dispersed, Tang Ning drove to the Qianqing Palace, and the six Jiuqing, General Lin, the governor of the five armies, and Yunchang and Yunye went with him.
The matter of the return of the desolate tribe has been negotiated, and the next thing is to send troops.
In the Qianqing Palace, Hong Cheng took the little eunuch to spread a map on the ground, there are not only the Central Plains but also the Great Wilderness on the map, although the terrain of the Great Wilderness is far less detailed than the Central Plains, but it also draws a rough idea.
Some of the maps about the desolate clan come from the notes treasured by the Sword Pavilion and the travels of the pavilion master, and some are recorded by Chang San and their trip to the Great Wilderness.
Tang Ning stood in front of the map and asked, "In previous years, how did the desolate clan march when they plundered Southern Chu?" Approximately how long does it take to march? ”
Yun Chang stepped forward and looked at the map for a while, then stretched out his hand and said, "It will take about a month to start from here, pass through here, here, and then get here." ”
The ministers were fine, but General Lin and other generals all surrounded them, looking at the route drawn by Yunchang.
Tang Ning looked at it for a while and asked, "How long after the Great Wilderness starts spring is suitable for sending troops?" ”
Yunchang said: "Back to the emperor, March, in March, the Great Wilderness will not be so cold in March." ”
Tang Ning muttered: "March, March sent troops to march for a month to arrive in Qin Town, how long do you think it will take to break through Qin Town?" ”
Yun Chang groaned: "Your Majesty, this mainly depends on whether the soldiers and horses of Qin Town have been mobilized, if the soldiers and horses of Qin Town are reduced by half, my army of the Desolate Clan will be able to break through Qin Town in three or five days, if the soldiers and horses of Qin Town are not reduced, it is difficult to say, it is possible in a month!" ”
Tang Ning said: "Judging from the news from the Jinyi Guard and the Internal Security Division, Nanchu has begun to prepare for war, not only to allocate ordnance, grain and grass, but also to Chen Chong's troops on the front line of Suiyang and Liuzhou, and to defend Orange Mountain. ”
"Nanchu did transfer 50,000 troops from Qin Town, but another 50,000 troops were mobilized to supplement the gap in Qin Town. Qin Zhen's strength has already declined, and this is the situation for the time being. ”
Yun Chang muttered: "The rotating army of 50,000 must not be as good as the elite soldiers and horses of Qin Town, if the warriors of the field desolate clan can defeat them in one fell swoop, however, these soldiers and horses can still be of great use to defend the city!" ”
Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "After autumn, I will successively send troops to Gyeongju to allocate grain and grass. In March next year, the Desolate Clan will immediately send troops and arrive at Qin Town in April, and be sure to break through Qin Town before April 20, and then encircle Orange Mountain. ”
Yun Chang said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
Tang Ning smiled: "How many troops can the Desolate Clan send out?" ”
Yun Chang muttered: "Your Majesty, fierce beasts are rampant in the Great Wilderness, and some soldiers must be left to garrison, and my Wild Clan can only draw out 40,000 troops. ”
Now the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou have long understood the desolate clan very well, and Yun Chang has not played tricks, Tang Ning nodded slowly after listening to it, and he was quite satisfied, and General Lin and other generals also bowed slightly.
Tang Ning said slowly: "Well, the Great Wilderness is dangerous, and it is understandable that the Desolate Clan wants to leave some soldiers and horses. ”
Yun Chang said respectfully: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty, the grassland ......"
Tang Ning said with a smile: "I still have some influence on the grassland, and the last time Princess Haiya came to the capital, she also promised that the grassland would send at least 50,000 cavalry to accompany the battle!" ”
50,000 cavalry, this is definitely not a small combat power! Although the Great Zhou could allocate two or three hundred thousand troops, it was difficult to make up one hundred thousand elite cavalry.
Yun Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, not to mention the cavalry of the Great Zhou, but to say that the 40,000 troops of their desolate clan plus the 50,000 iron cavalry of the grassland could almost sweep through Southern Chu, and the Beijing camp and Shuozhou army of the Great Zhou were equally powerful.
Of course, a sweep is not different from an occupation after all, and each city occupied must be garrisoned, which can involve a large part of the troops.
Their desolate tribe has never had the idea of capturing the Central Plains, because there are too few people in their desolate tribe, and after entering the Central Plains, it is like a drop in the ocean.
