Outside the tribal tent, the atmosphere was tense.

The warriors of the other tribes looked at Shi Wengong and them with a wary expression, for fear that they would suddenly break out again.

This group of Song troops just killed a horse pistol, not only killed the commander of Suzhou, Xiao Taosu, but also killed more than 130 people.

Although many of them were Liao soldiers, more than thirty warriors of the tribe died.

This caused many tribal warriors to glare at Shi Wengong and cut off their heads with sabers whenever the tribal leader gave the order.

Shi Wengong, Dong Ping, and Luan Tingyu led the remaining more than 160 cavalry to be engrossed in vigilant the tribal warriors around them.

As long as they sensed that something was wrong, they would immediately rush into the camp and escort Li Jun out of the encirclement and escape.

Unlike outside the tent, there is no tension in the tent, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Several tribal leaders in Te Sheng were eager to kill Li Jun, but they didn't dare.

The Suzhou commander appointed by himself was killed by the Song army in the tribal camp, and the Liao State would definitely kill the Song army, and at the same time, it would also severely punish the people of these tribes.

Otherwise, who would dare to come to Suzhou to take office in the future, where is the majesty of the Liao State, and how can it deter other tribes!

It is precisely because of this that several tribes of the Uts will work hard to protect Xiao Taosu's life at the beginning.

But when the Suzhou commander died, these tribes immediately let Li Jun and others go.

It's not that they like to repeat, but that their small tribe can only survive by sheltering under the wings of a big country.

Once they are free from the protection of these great powers, they will be swallowed up by the big powers at any time, and there will not be even scum left.

Now that they have offended the Liao State, they will never dare to offend the Song State and offend the Liao generals, so as not to offend both ends, and finally the tribe will be slaughtered.

Now Yu Tesheng's heart is full of anger, and he forcibly entertains Li Jun.

Li Jun had drunk a lot of wine just now, and he still frequently persuaded the leaders of various tribes to drink.

Seeing that Li Jun didn't have the slightest hint of wanting to fall, Yu Tesheng and Hao Shu Mingman glanced at each other.

He slammed his wine glass on the table and shouted, "General Li, we are kind enough to entertain you. But you are bold enough to kill the commander without permission. Putting several of our tribes in a desperate situation, do you really dare not kill you! ”

Li Jun saw that Yu Tesheng was angry, and he said calmly: "You can kill us, but can you defeat our army?" Our marshal will lead 4,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Shepherd, not far away, and as long as his army is killed, all of you will be buried with me!" ”

"But they are all infantry, and it is easy for our tribe's warriors to defeat you!" ”

Li Jun sneered and said contemptuously: "Just because you also want to defeat us, it's whimsical!" And you will not see how many of your tribes are left. Besides, it's hard to beat you? Are you as well equipped as we are? In the battle a few days ago, your cavalry was almost dead before they could rush to our front. Later, a hundred of our cavalry ran after you, and we didn't kill you to the ground. If it weren't for the marshal's benevolence and righteousness, and his unwillingness to kill more evil, he would have come over and exterminate you all a long time ago, so why would I have come to advise you and wait? ”

Li Jun's words made the leaders of the tribe tremble.

This Li Jun is really right, and it is all the truth, which is exactly what the tribes have been worried about.

Li Jun also put down his wine glass and said, "We are helping you make up your mind to break away from the tyrannical rule of the Khitans." The Khitan oppression and extortion became heavier and heavier, and more and more tributes were paid to the Khitan on a regular basis, and all the tribes were miserable. Now that we have helped you out of the sea of suffering, you should be happy! ”

Hu Shuming shouted: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liao, once the Liao army kills us, how can we resist and where can we flee to?" ”

Li Jun shouted: "Since we dare to attack the Liao army and seize the land of the Liao State, we naturally have confidence that we can deal with the Liao army!" ”

"How do you deal with it, just rely on your thousands of soldiers and horses?"

"Hahaha...... That's because you don't know the strength of our marshal, tell you. Our marshal is the general of the Song Dynasty, who is in charge of 100,000 soldiers and horses. It's just that it's inconvenient to ship by sea, these thousands of soldiers and horses are just the vanguard troops, and the follow-up soldiers and horses will come one after another! ”

Yu Shu Mingman said in disbelief: "Is this true? ”

Li Jun patted his chest and said: "How can this kind of thing deceive you, as long as you submit to our army, in a few days you will be able to see my Liangshan army landing in a steady stream of Liaodong!" ”

"How many cavalry are there among the 100,000 soldiers and horses?"

"This ...... The Ming people don't say dark words, there are not many cavalry in our army now, only about 2,000! ”

"Two thousand? Hmph, do you know how many cavalry the Liao army has, hundreds of thousands. There are many hills and few plains in Suzhou. Only then can you Song army defeat our tribe. If you go to the vast grasslands of Liaozhong and Beijing, let alone fight, you will run to death by relying on your legs alone, and you still want to defeat the Liao army! ”

Li Jun replied proudly: "Hahaha...... Do you know that hundreds of years ago, there was a Han general named Li Ling who led 5,000 infantry across the grassland, and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry could not help him. ”

Seeing that several leaders were doing it with disbelieving expressions, Li Jun said proudly: "Don't believe it, a few people don't believe it, some time ago, just Bucai also led 1,500 infantry to crisscross Suzhou Mansion, which one of you can help get this general!" ”

The Song army, which heard that the tribe harassed this month was not stable, was led by the person in front of him. The leaders of the bad tribe all glared at Li Jun, how many goats this bastard in front of him had lost to his tribe.

Although they hated Li Jun very much, these leaders could only harden their anger and did not dare to kill him.

Li Jun completely ignored the hostile eyes of these people and said, "A few days ago, you united to attack our army, but you were defeated by our army's new weapons. Do you know what that is? ”

Hearing Li Jun mention the weapon, the leaders present forgot about their hatred and pricked up their ears.

That day, the weapon was extremely long-range, and the invincible destructive power really frightened the leaders of this group, why didn't they dare to kill Li Jun, wasn't it because they were afraid of this weapon.

Although they didn't know if the Liao army could deal with it, they knew that they would definitely not be able to deal with it.

They were eager to know what this new weapon of the Song army was? It is more important to know how many of these weapons the other side has.

Li Jun inspected them, saw their eager eyes, smiled and said, "This new weapon was developed by the marshal of my family, and it was named artillery. As for the power, I believe you have all experienced it yourself, so I won't brag about it. Now, due to the constraints of transportation, only thirty guns have been delivered, but we have hundreds of guns alone. If you think about it, our army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and hundreds of such artillery. If you want to say that the field battle can defeat hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, you are afraid that you don't believe it. But with such sharp weapons, do you think the Liao army can conquer our army and recapture Suzhou Mansion? ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "If our tribe submits to you, what good will it do us?" What do you marshals want? ”

Hearing that Te Sheng finally had the intention of surrendering, Li Jun was immediately overjoyed, and he was finally able to subdue this group of barbarians.

Li Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, our marshal has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness. I won't be as harsh on you as the Khitan. As long as you submit to our army, and obey the orders of our army, each tribe shall provide goats and war horses in proportion to the population of the tribe. For yourselves you were to provide three hundred horses, and two thousand sheep, and five thousand skins of rats, every year. But as long as you submit to our army, your tribe only needs to provide 100 horses, 800 sheep, and 2,000 green mouse skins a year! ”

Hearing the conditions proposed by Li Jun, Yu Tesheng secretly calculated in his heart, such conditions are quite harsh.

However, it would be better if there were fewer offerings, and Yu Tesheng said: "General Li, the conditions you put forward are generally acceptable to my tribe, but can this horse be less, you also know that our tribe has died a lot in battle, if there are so many horses, I am afraid that our tribe will not be able to do it." ”

Li Jun shook his head and said, "We want horses just to be able to defeat the Liao soldiers and better protect you." So horses are absolutely indispensable! ”

He still wanted to cry again, in a vain attempt to persuade Li Jun to reduce it.

But Li Jun refused and shouted: "These amounts are set by the marshal, and I have no right to change them!" If you are dissatisfied, go and tell the marshal yourself! ”

When he heard this, he also shut up, and was ready to complain to the marshal if he had the opportunity.

Since he was bargaining with Li Jun, Hushu Mingman remained silent, and when the negotiation was completed, Hushu Mingman suddenly asked: "You said that the marshal manages Qizhou, if, I mean if, if the Liao army invades Suzhou." I ask that you, the marshal, escort our tribesmen into the Song Kingdom! ”

When Li Jun heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "I believe that the marshal will agree to this condition." But I can guarantee that the Liao army will never be able to attack Suzhou! ”

Li Jun's words, Huo Shu Mingman didn't care at all, he said: "If the marshal agrees, my tribe is willing to submit!" ”

Hearing the conditions proposed by Hushu Mingman, the other tribes shouted one after another: "Yes, if the marshal agrees, our tribe is also willing to submit!" ”

"Our tribe is willing, too!"

Nomads take the sky as their quilt and the earth as their bed, and they move around, and they can gallop freely in the vast world. It's very wanton!

But!

If you really live such a life, you know how hard it is!

Under the storm, the tent was swayed by the strong wind, as if it could blow the entire tent away at any moment.

When it rained, the ground was all damp mud, and there was not even a clean place, let alone a dry coat.

At night, the sheep and horses are gathered, and the strong smell of animals fills the whole tent.

Because every family makes a living by herding sheep and horses, sheep and horses are very cheap in Liao, and they are not worth a few dollars at all.

The necessities of life, such as pottery and ironware, are so expensive that many shepherd families have nothing of value at all.

It is precisely because of these factors that the nomads are very keen to go south to rob the Central Plains. For them, even if they grab an iron pot, it is a very valuable guy.

As for why the agrarian peoples did not rob the nomads, let's not talk about the question of horses.

What to grab?

Sheep and horses?

Grab it back, where to raise it? How to raise?

Grab it back and eat it?

Willing to risk your life to grab a few bites of food?

The military is an extension of politics, and the military is the continuation of economic interests.

The advantages of nomads going south to rob outweigh the disadvantages, so they are keen to go south.

The farming people do not rob the nomadic people and there is not much profit to be gained, so they are not keen on going north. Several times in history, it was the nomads who threatened the safety of the Central Plains court, so they spent a huge price to defeat them.

Several tribes of Luote and Haoshu returned to the Liao generals and paid tribute on a regular basis.

General Po Liao ensured their safety, allowed them to graze in Suzhou, and escorted them to the territory notified by the general by sea if necessary.

The basic conditions have been negotiated, and as for the details, we will discuss and negotiate slowly in the future.

Li Jun and Shi Wengong led the Liangshan cavalry back to Shepherd City.

In the city, the best room has been used as Shi Jin's temporary study, and it is also the temporary headquarters of the Liangshan Army.

Hearing Li Jun's report, Shi Jin nodded and said, "Agree to their request, if the Liao army attacks Suzhou Mansion, my Liangshan army will escort the people of these tribes to the Song Kingdom." ”

Li Jun hurriedly arched his hand and said, "If they hear it, they will be happy!" ”

Even the Great Liao Emperor Liao Daozong once sighed, "May future generations be born in China".

If they had the opportunity to live in the wealthy Great Song Dynasty, these tribal leaders would certainly be willing to submit.

Shi Jin looked at Li Jun standing in front of him and said, "Li Jun, you did a good job this time, these tribes have surrendered." We can rest assured, and we have enough manpower to make this a base for us to attack Liao! ”

Why did Shi Jin want these tribes to submit instead of exterminating them?

The sailors of the Song army were not weak, why didn't they think of attacking the Liao State with sailors crossing the sea?

Because it's not worth it!

At this time, Liaodong was not the northeast of later generations, the local population was sparse, and the Suzhou Mansion of Nuoda had a population of less than 10,000.

Now, after the war, there are only seven or eight thousand.

What's more, there are many hills and little flat land, and there is not much arable land, so it can't feed much army at all.

If the Song army attacked here across the sea, not only would it not be supplied, but it would also consume more grain and grass.

And there aren't many castles here, so it's hard to hold on.

What's more, once the Song army landed on the shore, if it was attacked by the Liao army in the middle of the crossing, the Song army would be defeated, and there would be no place to escape.

Therefore, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has not adopted the attack on the Liao State by sea.

Shi Jin is different from the Song Dynasty, at least from a different foothold.

Shi Jin knew the importance of Lushunkou in Suzhou Prefecture, which was an important stronghold on the Bohai Sea and an important port connecting North Korea, Shandong, and Fuso.

Shi Jin wanted to build this place into an important trading port and naval base in the Far East.

Shi Jin said: "Since those tribes have promised to submit, then issue a recruitment notice and recruit people to expand the port. It's winter now, and I believe there are a lot of idle people who are willing to apply! ”
