Chapter 118: Guidance
As soon as the army of the Tu tribes moved, both the Lan clan and the Han clan became nervous. Each gathered his troops and horses and came to the border bordering his territory.
At the same time, he quickly sent envoys to the Tu Ministry, hoping to make the high-level Tu Ministry's top brass temporarily press and calm down before solving the problem.
War is brutal, especially large-scale war.
Small conflicts, they can endure and even turn a blind eye. And once the army is used, it is not so simple. This is related to the survival of the entire clan and tribe.
Tu was also reluctant to move troops, but they had to make this posture. Maybe the Lan clan and then the Han clan don't care much about the small tribe they belong to, but the Tu tribes are different.
They more rigorously implemented the protection strategy of the superior for the small tribes, which is also the reason why the Tu tribes have always been strong. Because the small tribes attached to them all support them.
After receiving the envoys of the Lan clan and the Han clan, the high-ranking people of Tu Gehu also calmed down, so they temporarily pressed and stopped the army in the middle, preparing to put pressure on the Lan clan and the Han clan on this matter and ask for some compensation.
However, when the three parties had not yet reached an agreement, there was another disturbance on the border of the territory of the three parties!
This time, not only Tu Gehu, but also the Lan border was also purged on a large scale. Only the border tribe to which the Han clan belonged, was completely fine.
At this time, the Tu tribe and the Lan clan pointed the finger at the Han clan and threatened the Han clan that if they did not give a satisfactory explanation, the Tu tribe would join forces with the Lan clan to use troops against the Han clan!
Han was stunned.
Han's territory, the patriarch's tent.
Han's bones were restless. The Lan clan and the Tu tribes joined forces to target the Han clan, which made him angry and frightened at the same time.
The Lan clan alone, the Han clan is slightly inferior, and the Tu tribe is completely crushed.
If it is not handled well, it may be doomed.
As a last resort, the Han clan had no choice but to gather all the important people in the clan and prepare to discuss countermeasures.
"Great Patriarch, although our Han clan is powerful, it is not as strong as the Lan clan and the Tu clan. In the event of a war, it will be difficult to preserve the centuries-old foundation of our Han clan. ”
"Yes, why don't you give in for the time being, pay some price, and settle this matter first."
Most people think this way, which makes Han Shigu feel depressed and helpless at the same time. Once upon a time, the powerful Han clan actually wanted to grovel to the enemy?!
But what is the case?
"It is urgent to settle this matter, but" Han Clan Gu Hou frowned, and said, "Let's not talk about what kind of price to pay, what if the small tribe below makes trouble in the future?" It can't be a hemorrhage every time to appease the wrath of our enemies, right?! ”
Hearing this, the senior leaders of the Han clan were speechless.
After a long time, someone shouted: "It's better to kill all these small tribes!" ”
"Idiot!"
Someone was disdainful and said, "Without these small tribes, would our Han clan still be the Han clan?" ”
"But no matter what, this matter must be resolved!" Someone shrewdly said: "The chaos of the small tribes below is caused by the Han people." Great Patriarch, I will convene a tribal assembly to warn the small tribes below and prohibit them from doing business with the Han Chinese! ”
Li Zheng supported those small tribes, although he did it secretly, he still couldn't hide it from a big clan like the Han family. So a lot of information, Han is clear.
There is no reason for the seizure, one of them is because the Baishui River is not easy to fight, and it can't be beaten at all. Second, the Han family is still counting on Li Zheng to continue to support them.
In addition, the small tribes below attacked the Lan clan or slaughtered the subordinate tribes of the various tribes, which was also to weaken the enemies of the Han clan at a certain level. Besides, didn't the Han family also benefit from it?
The capture of many small tribes, in fact, only a part was used by them to exchange for armor food, and some of them fell into the hands of the Han clan!
It can be said that in Li Zheng's scheme, the Han family quietly gained a lot of benefits.
Therefore, Han will open one eye and close one eye.
Now that the incident has happened and has been coerced, it cannot go on like this. Only some compensation can be made to the Lan clan and the Tu tribes, and then the matter can be settled.
At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the small tribes below from continuing to mess around, and to do it openly in front of the Lan clan and the Tu tribes, so that they can see the sincerity of the Han clan with their own eyes.
Therefore, in the end, the Han clan decided to contact the Tu tribe, the Lan clan and even the Subu clan to convene a meeting of the Xiongnu tribes on the right to make an agreement on this matter
Dongying Pass.
Li Zheng was receiving a Hun man.
Half a year ago, this person was only the patriarch of a small tribe, with no more than a thousand people, no more than a few hundred soldiers, and no more than 10,000 cattle, sheep and horses.
Now, half a year later, he has become a medium-sized tribal patriarch with tens of thousands of tribes, nearly 10,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses.
This qiē was given to him by Li Zheng.
At the beginning, when Li Zheng decided to support the small tribes and disturb the internal forces of the Xiongnu, most of the small tribes were only supported in the form of transactions, but among them, a few pro-Han tribes were selected and secretly subdued.
Regardless of the race, there are such people. Not to mention, the patriarch of the Hun tribe in front of him is still a mixed-race. His mother is a Han Chinese.
This man's name was Bai Luo, a Chinese name, and it was the name his mother gave him.
The reason why Li Zheng values Bai Luo and even meets him alone is because this person sincerely serves him. The evidence lies in the fact that after this person surrendered to Li Zheng, his territory appeared on Li Zheng's map.
can be defaulted by the system, so Li Zheng believes him.
During this period of time, Bailuo's tribe was able to grow rapidly, and it was Li Zheng who secretly sent troops to help, so that he could rapidly expand his power.
Moreover, it is purposeful and directional to expand its power under Li Zheng's instructions.
Now the territory is white, and the location is very mysterious. It is located in the northeast corner of the Baishui River, bordering the Han clan in the south, the Lan clan in the north, and Tu Gehu in the west, in the middle of such a big force.
Judging from Li Zheng's system map, it looks like a small bell hanging in the northeast corner of the Baishui River.
This time, Bai Luo was called because Li Zheng learned of Han's plan and responded.
Although Li Zheng did not infiltrate too many fine works in the Han family, there was no shortage of greedy people wherever he was. The Han family's high-level leaders are the same, as long as they offer enough goods, there is no news that can hide from Li Zheng.
Bai Luo was dressed in Hanfu, kneeling at the foot of the hall, straightening his back, looking like a scribe, without the appearance of a Hun at all.
He was still very old, about the same age as Li Zheng.
"Bai Luo," Li Zheng looked at him with a smile and said, "This time, the Han clan is going to invite the Tu tribes, the Lan clan, and the Xubu clan to hold a tribal conference, and I hope you can win the venue for the tribal conference." ”
"The lord means" Bai Luo stared up.
"Your tribe has been the venue for this tribal assembly, which will be useful to me." Li Zheng smiled, stood up, walked down the hall, and said, "After you go back, you will start this matter, if it is done, I will not hesitate to give it." ”
When Bai Luo heard this, he was in good spirits for a while, and said: "Please rest assured, Bai Luo will never let the lord down." ”
"Well," Li Zheng nodded: "Your territory is in a good position, maybe you don't need to bring it up, the Han clan will make a choice." ”
"Then lord, does the villain need to make some preparations?" Bai Luo pondered.
"No, you don't." Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay as usual." ”
"Whoa!" Bai Luo stood up, Li Zheng patted him on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and waved him away.
After Bai Luo left, Xi Zhi turned out of the back hall.
"My lord," said Xi Zhicai, "is this person credible?" ”
Li Zheng was determined to end up in Bailuo's territory, which made Xi Zhicai very worried. Although this Bailuo is a mixed-race, he is the patriarch of the Xiongnu tribe after all. Knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, in case this person turns against the water at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to do his best.
Li Zheng laughed and said, "Mr. Zhicai, do you want to make a bet?" ”
"Oh?" Xi Zhicai's eyes revealed a look of interest.
"If Bai Luo does what I say and doesn't fight back, sir, you will lose. If he backs, then I lose. Li Zheng said with a smile.
"So, what about the bets?"
"I lost, let Mr. Zhicai make a request, I will be satisfied." Li Zheng said.
"And what if Your Majesty loses?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"If you lose, sir, please invite Guo Jia to Liangzhou for me, can you?"
"A gentleman's word!"
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
The two laughed and sat down.
"In order to do my best, my subordinates have made some moves." After Xi Zhicai sat down, he shifted his mind to the right thing, and said, "You can gather soldiers and horses and make a military momentum!" ”
Li Zheng thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly: "This is a great good." ”
If Li Zheng made a posture of gathering troops and horses at this time and preparing to use troops against the Xiongnu, the Huns would definitely be nervous. However, the tribal assembly had to be held again, and it was convened jointly by the four major forces, so they were naturally not afraid, so they would not cancel this plan. In order to be sure, they will definitely send more soldiers and horses, and they will even have the intention of luring Li Zheng's army out of Baishuichuan and annihilating them in one fell swoop.
This is just right for Li Zheng.
So at that moment, Li Zheng ordered all the foot soldiers in Dongying Pass and Beiying Pass to assemble and make a big fanfare. However, the most elite army of war cavalry was hidden in the shadows.
