After another two months, the grassland was more and more abundant, and the herdsmen who were hiding behind Zhao Gu's army to graze their cattle became less careful, because they found that even if Zhao Gu's army had heard the cries of cattle, sheep and horses grazing behind them, they had never looked back.

As a result, the herdsmen became bolder and began to expand the grazing area, and more and more cattle, sheep and horses were driven out by them.

Standing on a small mound, Zhao Gu looked at the herds of cattle, sheep and horses behind him, but he already had a plan in his heart.

At this time, the herdsmen who dared to appear in the rear of Zhao Gu's army were nothing more than three kinds of people, one of which was the two tribes in Western Xia who did not help each other, they did not like to fight very much, so they also subconsciously thought that Zhao Gu and others were not very good at hurting them.

The second is Xia Weibing's tribe, according to her strength to deal with Yide's overtime, I am afraid that there is also a large force in Western Xia, and these forces are naturally indispensable for grazing, and Xia Weibing has an appointment with Zhao Gu first, so she is naturally not afraid of Zhao Gu plotting to kill her tribe.

When Zhao Gu ploughed the grassland on the grassland, he deliberately let go of some grassland, and these grasslands were occupied by Li Jiqian's men and horses, and under his subordinates, they were naturally close to their subordinates, and those tribes who were not favored by him naturally could not get enough grassland, so they took the risk and chose not to obey Li Jiqian's orders, but followed behind Zhao Gu and others.

At this time, the Western Xia, after two large-scale attacks by Yi Dechao, had actually lost a lot of resources, especially Li Jiqian's subordinates, who lost more than hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of horses.

Yi Dechao once controlled one-third of the territory of the Western Xia, and all the valuable things looted were sent back to Kaifeng, and the national strength of the Western Xia was naturally weakened, Li Jiqian, as the lord of the Western Xia, was naturally inevitably discussed behind his back, and the Western Xia was a place where tribes lived as a unit, and people's definition of the collective and the country was not so deep, so in the face of life and death, his orders were not so important.

Because of this, Zhao Gu felt that his opportunity had come.

The two tribes that did not help each other in the territory of Western Xia actually did not get the help of Li Jiqian and Xia Weibing, and they were lonely, and Zhao Gu felt that he might be able to take them for his own use.

And the other group of tribes under Li Jiqian that were not taken seriously, from a certain point of view, had been abandoned by Li Jiqian, and it was not difficult for Zhao Gu to subdue them.

What Zhao Gu has to pay is nothing more than benefits.

Approaching August, the grassland is a rich mess of water and grass, cattle, sheep and horses after half a year of growth, basically have a harvest, and the herdsmen on the grassland finally show smiling faces.

At this moment, Zhao Gu sent soldiers to penetrate the rear of these tribes with lightning speed. At the same time, 300 letters written by Zhao Gu himself were sent out by him.

The letter is strict, the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia is a strip of water neighbors, in the Tang Dynasty, the Western Xia is the inherent territory of the Han nationality, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to the west, just to recover the territory of the Western Xia, not to compete with the people of the Western Xia for the grassland and cattle, sheep and horses, before the Great Song Dynasty Yi Dechao on the grassland rampant conquest, not the original intention of the Great Song Dynasty, now Zhao Gu came in person, just to let the Western Xia return to the Great Song Dynasty, let Li Jiqian step down, as for the many grasslands on the grassland, will be distributed by Zhao Gu personally to all herdsmen after the return of the Western Xia to the Great Song Dynastyand never break their word.

The letter also said that the reason why Zhao Gu allowed the herdsmen to graze was because he couldn't bear to see everyone starve to death, because everyone would be the children of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and in order to let everyone settle down as soon as possible, Zhao Gu hoped that everyone could have the courage to overthrow Li Jiqian and return a bright future to Western Xia.

The Western Xia controlled the trade routes of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions, and naturally there was no shortage of people who could write the Great Song Dynasty, so the purpose of Zhao Gu's visit soon spread among the herdsmen, and the attitudes towards him among the tribes naturally could not be the same, good and bad.

Some tribes felt that it was no different whether the Western Xia was under the rule of Li Jiqian or the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the Great Song could guarantee that they would not invade them, they were willing to obey the arrangement of the Great Song Dynasty.

There are also tribes who think that Zhao Gu is a wolf ambition, he must be instigating everyone to deal with Li Jiqian, and then reap the profits, and when Li Jiqian really perishes, he will definitely turn back to deal with the major tribes.

These two remarks dominated the major tribes, and almost all the tribes agreed with them, and the jury is still out as to which one is more and which is less.

Three days later, Zhao Gu sent another letter to the past, he was not afraid that these herdsmen would escape, but there were 30,000 elite soldiers on his side, but there were many old and young women and children among these herdsmen, and he believed that the major tribes would make the most correct choice.

This epistle serves almost the same purpose as the previous one, but it contains a kind of 'weed-by-grass method' that attracts everyone's attention.

Zhao Gu made it clear that the Great Song Dynasty took back the Western Xia this time, only because Li Jiqian was a courtier, but he did not pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty for many years, and the emperor was furious, so he raised troops to attack, not to get along with the Western Xia, and the Western Xia, as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, is no longer suitable for a certain person to be in charge, so it is necessary to make a record of all the grasslands, and then according to the size of each tribe, fair distribution, these distributed grasslands will be maintained by the Great Song Dynasty, and whoever intends to encroach on other people's grasslands will be severely punished.

And once the tribes have been divided into pastures, they must also be distributed fairly to each family, no matter what their previous status was, as long as he is an individual, he should have his own grassland, and outsiders are not allowed to encroach on it.

This method caused an uproar among the tribes, and the tribal leaders were overjoyed at the thought that if their tribe could get a large area of pasture in the future and not be invaded by others.

If Zhao Gu's promise is really true, it is not an excellent choice, in the past, when Li Jiqian was in power, everything good was close to his tribe and the tribe close to him, where did he care about the life and death of other tribes.

Thinking of this, many tribes immediately hesitated, and agreed with Zhao Gu's suggestion, but they were worried about being deceived, and they were undecided, not knowing what to do.

There are also tribes who fell silent after seeing the grass division method, they are the tribes that have followed Li Jiqian, they originally thought that after Li Jiqian defeated the Great Song army, they would be able to continue to live their superior life, but looking at the current situation, it seems that Zhao Gu is quite popular, so does Li Jiqian still have any hope of driving away the Great Song army?
