Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xiao Xiao and Ma Neighed

Wei Zeng's purpose was not to repel the attack of the Zhan Tu people, but to make the Zhan Tu people dare not step into Yanbei again. Therefore, after defeating the 100,000 Zhantu rangers, according to the information previously controlled, the Yanbei rebels attacked the Zhantu tribes within a hundred miles of the north of Yanbei. As for Gu Chayi's 3,000 cavalry, they had penetrated hundreds of miles deep into Mobei, attacking those unsuspecting Zhantu tribes.

After the defeat of the Zhan Tu people, the people's hearts were scattered, and when they saw the large army of the Yanbei Righteous Army, they bypassed, and then killed to the border of Yanbei, trying to rob some property before Wei Zeng's main force returned to the division.

The border of Yanbei has long been fortified, and Sajiali patrols around with an army, but in fact, the Zhantu people who came to Yanbei to plunder did not take any advantage.

Soon after, many of the Janturians received news that the tribe had been attacked, and those who had gone south to raid hurried back.

Gu Chayi's horse team is now in the depths of Mobei, and it has attacked more than a dozen Zhantu tribes one after another in the past few days. Relying on the rescued slaves of the Central Plains as guides, now Gucha has always been killed by a large tribe of Zhantu.

"From the rescued population, it is known that there is a large tribe of more than 10,000 people less than a hundred miles to the north. The Ding Strongmen of that tribe had already moved south, and now there were less than a thousand soldiers on the defensive. As long as we can wipe out this tribe, we will definitely be able to fight the prestige of our Yanbei Righteous Army. Jiang Luqing said.

"These Janturians have gone south to attack us, and now we did not expect that their rear will also be attacked by us. Let these Zhan Turks learn a lesson, and see if they dare to invade Yanbei again? It's a real pleasure. Gu Chayi said.

"But we've already attacked more than a dozen Jantu tribes, and many of them should have received the news. We are only 3,000 people, and we have penetrated deep into Mobei, and if we are really surrounded by the Zhan Tu people, it will not be good. After destroying the Zhantu tribe, we will go back, and then sweep away a few more Zhantu tribes along the way, and this mission is considered a complete completion. Jiang Luqing said.

"So be it. But do you have any news about Wei Zeng, and I don't know what happened to him? Gu Chayi asked.

"I received news earlier that General Wei had repelled 100,000 Zhantu rangers and was attacking the Zhantu tribe within a radius of 100 miles. We are going too fast for the latest news to be known. But according to the agreement, General Wei was also about to retreat. Jiang Luqing replied.

"Alas, if there were more horses, Wei Zeng would have taken tens of thousands of people deep into Mobei, and he would definitely be able to wipe out the Zhantu people in one fell swoop. However, the elimination of the Zhantu people within a radius of 100 miles can also ensure that Yanbei will not be disturbed for a while. Gu Chayi said regretfully.

"How can it be so easy to destroy the Janturists? At the peak of the dynasty, 100,000 iron cavalry expeditioned to Mobei, but it was not that they failed to destroy the Zhantu people. We were also able to take a dozen Zhantu tribes by surprise one after another. Otherwise, if they are on guard, and they find us all running away from afar, how can we catch up? Jiang Luqing said.

"It is also said that although the Zhan Turks are not good at fighting, they are still very fast. That's a Turbulent army in front, let's rush over, can't we let them run? As soon as Gu Cha saw a troop of more than 1,000 people in front of him, he led his men to rush away.

This Turbulan army was a member of the Aesir tribe, and Asa's father, out of caution, did not go south to plunder, and after the defeat he returned with the tribesmen.

Asa's father saw a caravan of horses coming from afar, and wondered which tribe had returned, knowing that most of the Jantu had gone south to try their luck.

"Those people are wearing iron armor, which tribe has so much iron armor? You must know that the people of the Central Plains have never sold us steel. Asa wondered.

"That's the Central Plains, everyone hurry up." Asa's father finally noticed the anomaly of the horse team and hurriedly ordered everyone to flee.

Gu Chayi's horse team was specially trained in horse archery, and he bent his bow and shot arrows at this group of more than 1,000 Zhantu people from afar. The Zhantu people also ran and shot arrows to fight back.

Although the cavalry and archery level of the Zhantu people who grew up on horseback was much higher than that of Gu Chayi's horse team, the crude nomadic bow could not shoot through the solid iron armor, and the light armor made of cowhide could not withstand the shot of the strong bow of the Yanbei rebels. Soon the people of the Tuntur tribe were only able to flee.

After a run, he finally got rid of the pursuit of the Yanbei rebels. Asa's father had palpitations, but he didn't expect that there would be an army of the Central Plains in such a deep place in Mobei. When Asa's father decided to return, he moved his tribe north to avoid the attack of the Central Plains army.

"Father, if we also have that kind of armor, that kind of bow and arrow, will the Central Plains still be our opponents?" Asa asked.

"Don't think about it, the people of the Central Plains have never sold us steel, and it's good that our steel can make enough sabers. The arrows are also made of animal bones, where can I make iron armor? Assa's father said with a sigh as he looked at the team that had lost hundreds of men.

Asa gritted his teeth at this, rode his horse and headed east.

"Asa, where are you going? Our tribe is not there. ”

"I will go to the Central Plains, and when I come back, I will personally fulfill my promise and unify the Zhan Tu people."

At the same time, Wei Zeng led 10,000 men to attack the Zhantu tribe within a radius of 100 miles, and these Zhantu people were no match for Wei Zeng at all. Some of the Zhantu people migrated to Mobei, and more Zhantu people were unwilling to leave the grassland where they had lived for generations, so they asked Wei Zeng to serve in the hope that they could continue to live here. The weak surrender to the strong, which is normal for the Zhan Turks.

Wei Zeng's army had already surrounded a more than 1,000-strong Zhantu tribe, and the people of this tribe did not resist anything, and several leaders of the tribe raised their hands and walked towards Wei Zeng.

"Merciful Lord Mobei Flying Eagle, we have no intention of rebelling against the Central Plains Imperial Court. We also did not approve of the expulsion of the Central Plains by those large tribes, and we were forced to go south to join the war. Our tribe is willing to join the Lord for this, and offer 500 oxen, sheep and 200 horses every year, and ask the Lord to let us continue to live here. The tribal leader explained.

"I don't want to create a lot of murder out of thin air, this attack on you Zhantu people is all to protect the land of Yanbei from being violated. If you want to be attached, there is no problem, move all the people of your tribe to the border of Yanbei, and the world will graze cattle, sheep and horses in Yanbei instead of me, and the world will guard the frontier in Yanbei instead of us. Otherwise, if you are on this prairie, as long as you ride a horse, I won't be able to find you, how can I believe that you will not invade Yanbei in the future. Wei Zeng said.

"As long as the adults can give us a way out, we are willing to do what the adults say, it is really difficult to survive in the depths of Mobei, and we are willing to move to the border of Yanbei. We are willing to do so if we are exempted from our past sins if we are exempted from our past sins. The tribal leader agreed, knowing that he had no choice.

"There is no problem, as long as the people who submit to my Yanbei Righteous Army, our army will naturally treat them well. For those who resist, our army will not show any mercy. Wei Zeng agreed.

Under Wei Zeng's orders, hundreds of soldiers were divided into the ranks to collect all the weapons of this Zhan Tu tribe, and then escorted them to the border of Yanbei.

"How's the war going now? Is there any tribe we haven't been to? Wei Zeng asked the officer beside him.

"Mr. Qi has news from there, and the Zhantu people who entered Kou Yanbei have returned. It seems that things are going well on the Gu Commander's side. During this time, we have gathered 20,000 Zhan Tu people, and they have all been taken to the border of Yanbei. Now the people of Zhantu within a radius of 100 miles are running and the obedient are no longer any threat to us. The officer reported.

"This time, the Zhanturians have suffered such a big blow that they will not dare to go south again in a few years. I can also exchange the northern border of Yanbei for a few days of peace. Those who belong to the Zhantu people should make good use of it, we lack horses in Yanbei, and we will rely on them to form a cavalry unit in the future. The Anyun Iron Cavalry is very terrifying, especially Di Xianlan's troops, and in the future, we can only rely on cavalry to gain a few advantages. Wei Zeng thought of the main force of the iron-blooded army that he would face in the future, and he also said worriedly.

Then Wei Zeng returned to Yanbei with the army of the expedition to Mobei.

The wind was sluggish, the horses neighed, and the raiding party that had gone south came back, and when they saw the tragic situation of the destruction of the tribe, their hearts were full of grief and shock.

At this time, Gu Chayi's horse team with a large number of horses and cattle and sheep had already embarked on the way home, and the Zhantu people pursued for a while, but they could not stop Gu Chayi's horse team after all.

The Mobei Zhantu people suffered heavy losses this time, and they also knew that the Yanbei Righteous Army could not be bullied casually. So for a few years, the people of Zhantu did not dare to go to the place of a hundred miles north of Yan. And with the growth and decline of several major tribal forces, civil strife began in the grasslands again. When the balance is broken, there is a strife, in which the Takturians achieve unity or become a dissipation, no one knows.

Lu Boding, a water thief in the southeast, captured many state capitals in the southeast during the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. The southeast was originally the richest place in the dynasty, and the fish and rice in the southeast could make millions of people worry about food and clothing, and the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River also accounted for nearly half of the dynasty's financial revenue.

Lu Boding and the water thieves had no ambitions, but now they are kings and hegemons in this rich place, and their lives are not happy. When he knew that Yaodong, which was separated by a river, because of the collapse of the Goddess Sect, several major gangs were constantly fighting, so he planned to invade Yaodong.

Lu Boding believed that there were more than 100,000 troops south of the Yangtze River in the west and thieves in the south, so they were not good places for expansion. Yaodong has always been stable and the people are relatively wealthy, but now it is controlled by four gangsters, isn't this a godsend?

In Lu Boding's eyes, the gangsters are just a bunch of street thugs who can only fight and fight, can they resist his army for a moment? Therefore, under the order of Lu Boding, 80,000 southeastern soldiers bravely crossed the waterway to attack Yaodong, and the Red Cloud Society in the south bore the brunt.

As everyone knows, Yaodong's gangsters are not gangsters in the Central Plains, they are all evolved from the original folk wilderness team, and the barbarians who were invincible back then were defeated by them, and now they control Yaodong, and their strength is also extremely strong.

The Yaodong people are very xenophobic, they will fight around when there is no external invasion, but they will unite in the face of external hostile forces; The Yaodong people are very realistic, no one will do thankless things, and although they fight in secret, no one attempts to start a war to settle the dispute.

In their eyes, outsiders get one percent of the benefits in Yaodong, and that is also an advantage for outsiders; The Yaodong people lost one percent of their interests, and the Yaodong people also suffered losses. They believe that it is appropriate only to gain more than to lose, and to wage war everyone loses benefits.

In the face of Lu Boding's attack, Yaodong seemed to be about to unite again.
