Chapter 371: The Wisest Choice

In the subconscious, Liu Ji regarded all the nomadic tribes on the grassland as his enemies, and now after the 400,000 Dangxiang cavalry were almost wiped out by the five cavalry battalions of the grassland legion, the Dangxiang clan was suddenly in the weakest period, and Liu Ji actually wanted to destroy the Dangxiang clan very much in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Lie heard Liu Ji ask his opinion, Su Lie pondered for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly brightened and said: "Lord, now is indeed an opportunity for our Jue'an Army, and our subordinates feel that we can not only exterminate the party members, but also take all the territory of the party members on the grassland." ”

At this time, on a wooden table in Liu Ji's tent, there was a map drawn on white cloth, "Lord, you see, this grassland belongs to the sphere of influence of the Dangxiang clan, and now as soon as the coalition army of the ten clans retreats, the grassland north of Jue'an County and Yongjing County also belongs to us, as long as our Hawk'an Army takes this piece of grassland of the Loufu clan in our hands, then we can connect the grassland of the Dangxiang clan with the territory of our Hawkshire Army, and the Wusun, Qiuzi, Ruoqiang, Beilu, Ronglu, Qule, and Shule that our Grassland Legion destroyed beforeThe pastures of the nine tribes, Huhu, and Kokand, will also be almost all connected to the territory of our Hawks Army, so this large grassland will all belong to our Hawks Army! ”

Liu Ji saw the place that Su Lie had compared on the map, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes, the territory of the Dangxiang clan on the grassland was at least one million square kilometers or more, and the grassland north of Jue'an County and Yongjing County had been vacated, and there were originally some nomadic tribes, because of the war between the Jue'an army and the ten-clan coalition army, they had all migrated, and the area of this grassland was almost more than 100,000 square kilometers.

If you add some of the territories of the Wusun, Qiuzi, Ruoqiang, Beilu, Ronglu, Qule, Shule, Huhu, and Kokand tribes that have been wiped out, the area of the grassland that Su Lie pointed out can be attributed to the Xuan'an Army must definitely be more than 2.5 million square kilometers, and such a large area is enough to feed the herdsmen and livestock under Liu Ji's command.

Not counting the harvest of the five cavalry battalions of the Grassland Legion in the Dangxiang clan, now the number of grassland herdsmen under Liu Ji's command has exceeded one million, in the process of exterminating the nine tribes of Wusun, Qiuzi, Ruoqiang, Beilu, Ronglu, Qule, Shule, Huhu and Kokand, the various cavalry battalions of the Grassland Legion have brought back a large number of people, but most of the young and strong have been collected by the Jue'an Army, and the millions of herdsmen under Liu Ji are basically mainly old and young women and children. At present, these millions of herders are hiding in the territory of the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County.

In addition, not counting the war horses harvested by the Dangxiang clan, the war horses in the hands of the Ju'an army have already exceeded one million, although some of the war horses are in the Western Regions, but now there are nearly 400,000 in the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, and the war horses that the Ju'an Army does not need for the time being, and then counting the huge number of cattle and sheep, these livestock must have a large enough grassland for grazing.

Liu Ji touched his chin and said: "Such a large grassland, if it is controlled by our Hawk An Army, of course it is the best, but there are two problems, the first is this territory of the Lou Fu clan on the grassland, how can our Hawk An Army take it?" After all, the Lou Fu clan also belongs to the second echelon of nomads on the grassland, and our Jue'an army is currently in a big war with Gaochang Kingdom! The second question is whether our Hawks' army can hold on to such a large grassland? Will the tribes of the steppe attack our army again? ”

Su Lie immediately said: "Lord, this time the Lou Fu clan participated in the Ten Clans Alliance, and the losses must be not small, and the Lou Fu clan fought with our Jue'an army before, and every time the losses were not light, even the Cang Bear Tribe, one of the five major tribes of the Lou Fu clan, was also wiped out by us, just with the strength of our grassland legion, there is still a good hope to occupy the entire grassland of the Lou Fu clan." ”

There are a total of fifteen cavalry battalions in the grassland legion of the Ju'an army, and the ten cavalry battalions here in Qishankou at this time, although the losses are not small after the great battle with the ten clan coalition forces, they still have 160,000 cavalry, and as for the five cavalry battalions in the territory of the Dangxiang clan, the strength is even stronger.

Before the defeat of the 400,000 party cavalry, the strength of the five cavalry battalions was as high as 420,000, and because of the help of the flood, the annihilation of 400,000 party cavalry, the loss of the five cavalry battalions was almost negligible, and the party cavalry captured by this prisoner of war exceeded 290,000.

After a pause, Su Lie said to Liu Ji again: "As for such a large grassland, whether our Hawk An Army can hold this issue, my subordinates are not worried, as long as we maintain a strong enough army on the grassland, with the prestige of our Hawkson Army that has just defeated the Ten Clans Alliance, I believe that no nation will be willing to take the initiative to provoke us!" ”

Then Le Yi, who was in the tent, also said: "Lord, if our Jue'an army carries the power of a great victory and attacks the territory of the Lou Fu clan, it is still very promising, as for wanting to defend this large grassland, my subordinates have a suggestion, you might as well build a number of cities on the grassland, as long as there are cities, our Jue'an army can completely take root in this large grassland!" ”

Liu Ji looked at the map on the table again, this simple map, in addition to the four northern states of the Great Jin Dynasty, most of the grassland areas and part of the Western Regions were marked.

The adjacent areas of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Western Regions and the Grassland are distributed in a similar "Ya" shape, the upper part is the vast grassland, the left side of the vertical line is the Western Regions, and the right side is the Great Jin Dynasty.

If the Hawkseye Army can really occupy this large area of grassland of more than 2.5 million square kilometers, then between this large grassland and the Western Regions, there are about 3 to 4 million square kilometers of grassland, and maybe it will also become the pocket of the Hawkery Army in the future.

Since Su Lie and Le Yi both agreed that the Jue'an Army would take advantage of this great victory to expand into the grassland, Liu Ji, who trusted the two very much, nodded and said: "The current strength of the Westward Expansion Army is as high as more than 1.3 million, and Lian Po is still expanding the army as much as possible, in this way, the Western Regions do not need the support of the Grassland Army for the time being, so the Grassland Army will go to the grassland to grab territory next!" ”

Su Lie said excitedly: "Don't worry, our Grassland Legion will definitely not let the Lord down!" ”

In a giant felt bag of the Dangxiang Bahrain tribe, Tengxi Mutu, the Zuoyi King of the Dangxiang tribe, sighed and said to Tarure, the eldest son of the Dangxiang Khan Sehelai: "Tarure, it's good if you can escape, you can rest in our Bahrain tribe for a while, and then we will discuss the matter of avenging the Great Khan and regaining our party's Xiang Wang's court." ”

The Bahrain tribe is the tribe where the Dangxiang tribe Zuoyi King Tengxi Mutu is located, this time the Dangxiang Khan Sehelai gathered 400,000 Dangxiang cavalry, wanting to recapture the Dangxiang royal court, the four kings of the Dangxiang clan, only the Zuoyi King Tengxi Mutu because of his age, did not lead the troops to go directly, but Tengxi Mutu also sent out most of the Dangxiang cavalry of the Bahrain tribe, and the other three kings of the Dangxiang clan have been buried in the flood with the Dangxiang Khan Sehelai.

This time, the 400,000 party cavalry was almost wiped out, and only a few thousand party cavalry escaped and ascended to heaven, including the eldest son of the party Khan Sehele, Taruzhe, who collected hundreds of party cavalry after he escaped, and then took these hundreds of party cavalry to the Bahrain tribe, the patriarch of the Bahrain tribe, that is, the party Xiang Zuoyi king Tengxi Mutu, is Taruhe's own grandfather.

Tarure gritted his teeth and said to Tengxi Mutu, the king of the party's Xiang Zuoyi: "Grandpa, this time is really miserable, the 400,000 cavalry of our party's Xiang clan are almost finished, we must avenge this revenge!" I am ready to gather the remaining young people of other tribes of our party Xiang tribe in the Bahrain tribe, gather all the strength of our party Xiang tribe, fight to the death with the Jue'an army of the Great Jin Dove Tiger, and swear to regain the royal court of our party Xiang tribe! ”

The corners of the mouth of Tengxi Mutu, the king of the party Xiang Zuoyi, twitched, and he sighed and said: "Alas, this time is indeed too miserable, in order to gather enough 400,000 cavalry, all the tribes of our party Xiang clan have done their best, and then want to put together a large army to compete with the Ju'an army, how easy it is to say!" ”

Taruge then said: "Grandpa, now our party's Xiang clan has reached the critical point of life and death, at this time, all the tribes of our party's Xiang clan can only unite as one and mobilize all the men in each tribe who can fight on horseback, in order to fight for our party's Xiang clan!" Grandpa, now we have only one suzerain left in the entire Dangxiang clan, I want to get your support, inherit the position of the Great Khan of the Dangxiang clan, and in the name of the Dangxiang Great Khan, recruit cavalry from various tribes! ”

Dang Xiang Zuoyi Wang Tengxi Mutu was silent for a moment and said: "Tarure, there is no problem in supporting you to inherit the Great Khan of our party's Xiang clan, but this king suggests that our party's Xiang clan should immediately end this war with the Hawk'an army and make peace with the Hawk'an army!" ”

"No! Grandpa, how can you think that! If my father hadn't been for the Hawks, he wouldn't have drowned, and if the revenge of killing my father was not shared, I would never have made peace with the Hawks Army! ”

"Alas--Taruge, crusade against the Great Jin Guhu, our Bahrain tribe sent 15,000 cavalry, this time in order to recapture the royal court, our Bahrain tribe sent more than 30,000 cavalry, and most of the adult men in the tribe were sent out, and now the young and old people in the tribe are counted, and they can barely gather 20,000 cavalry, I believe that other tribes are not much better, where does our party Xiang clan still have the strength to fight with the Ju'an army!"

"Grandpa, for the honor of our party's Xiang clan for hundreds of years, we must not compromise with the Ju'an army, and besides, this time the 400,000 party cavalry has suffered a natural disaster, as long as our party's more than 200 tribes can gather another 300,000 cavalry, we have hope to defeat the Ju'an army and take the royal court back! Moreover, we can ask the tribes to organize the men in the slaves, so that not to mention 300,000 cavalry, even if it is 600,000 cavalry, more than 200 tribes of our party and Xiang tribe can make it up. ”

"Al-well! Taruzhe, we Bahraini tribes will support you! ”

"Great! Thank you Grandpa! ”

After Tarure left the giant felt bag, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Tengxi Mutu, the king of the party Zuoyi, and then he ordered someone to find his three sons.

After Tengxi Mutu's three sons, Zhuo Yatuge, Gudamai and Hei Haosang, entered the felt bag, Tengxi Mutu said in a deep voice: "That nephew of yours is ready to succeed the new Great Khan of our Xiang clan, and then gather the remaining forces of the various tribes of our Xiang clan to fight to the death with the army of that Great Jin Guhu Liu Ji!" ”

Tengxi Mutu's three sons are all about forty years old, they looked at each other, Zhuo Yatuge first said: "Father, I don't think our party Xiang clan should fight anymore, if we continue to fight, maybe our entire party Xiang clan will be wiped out by the Jue'an army, father should persuade Taruge!" ”

Gudamai continued: "There has been reliable news that this time the coalition of ten clans has been completely disbanded, in this case, once the fight against the Jing'an army continues, our party Xiang clan is likely to fight alone. ”

Hei Haosang also said: "Father, why don't we go and persuade Taruge together. ”

Zuoyi Wang Tengxi Mutu waved his hand and said: "It's useless, this king has been persuaded bitterly, Taruge is now carried away by hatred, he has forgotten that surviving on the grassland is the most important thing." ”

Zoyatug hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does Father mean?" ”

"A few of you immediately take people and disarm the hundreds of cavalry who escaped with Taruzhe, and then arrest Taruzhe!"

After the five cavalry battalions of He Ruobi, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Zheng Wei, and Wang Ji defeated the 400,000 Dangxiang cavalry, they immediately forcibly incorporated the captured Dangxiang cavalry and began to send troops to sweep away the remaining tribes of the Dangxiang clan.

However, after the troops of the five cavalry battalions occupied more than a dozen Dangxiang tribes almost bloodlessly, Tengxi Mutu, the king of Dangxiang Zuoyi, personally brought Taruje, the eldest son of Dangxiang Khan Sehelai, who was tied up by five flowers, to the royal court of the Dangxiang clan.

After Tengxi Mutu saw He Ruobi and a few people, he immediately knelt on the ground, "On behalf of all the tribes of our party's Xiang clan, I am willing to submit to Lord Liu Ji, and be loyal to Lord Liu Ji and the descendants of Lord Liu Ji for generations, and hand over Tarure, who refuses to submit to Lord Liu Ji, to Lord Liu Ji for disposal!" ”

Tarure was tied up at this time, and his mouth was still gagged, but when he looked at his grandfather, he seemed to be about to eat Tengxi Mutu alive.

Taruge never thought that he would be betrayed by Tengxi Mutu, and Tengxi Mutu also betrayed the entire party Xiang clan to the Jue'an army!

He Ruobi helped Tengxi Mutu up with a smile on his face, "King Zuoyi, you have made the wisest choice for the Dangxiang clan. ”
