Chapter 437: Heading South

(Thank you for your support in 1976 and Pine Forest Waves, thank you!) )

Yudu Army Mountain, the old Turkic court.

The meeting of the leaders of the nine Tiele alliance tribes in Mobei was held for three consecutive days, and the discussion at the meeting was fierce.

The Mobei tribes have already gathered 100,000 light cavalry at the foot of the Yudu Army Mountain, but where to go next, the leaders and nobles of the various tribes have discussed a lot, gossiping, and gradually formed two opposing opinions.

Several tribal leaders led by Fuyegu, Wei Su, and Tongluo suffered a big loss in front of the Huaihuang army last year, so they have long been dissatisfied, and they have always hated and hated, and they have been angry in their hearts, and they have planned to step on the famine. Therefore, they proposed at the meeting that the coalition forces go directly south and attack Huaihuang.

However, the rest of the tribes led by the leader of the current alliance, Xue Yantuo, Huojie Lifa Yi, after carefully assessing the strength of Huaihuang, advocated avoiding the hard stone of Huaihuang first, first going south to cross Yinshan, and then joining forces with Dulan's army in Baidaochuan, and attacking the Daibei region of the Sui Dynasty first, and after capturing Yunshuo, then join forces to the east to destroy Huaihuang. In this way, it can greatly avoid the hard fight between the Mobei Tiele Department and the Huaihuang Army, so as to preserve the vitality of the Tiele Tribe. However, the mention of Yi lost the bowl was strongly opposed by Wei Su and Shi Jian.

Ashid. Shi Jian was about fifty pounds, straightforward in temperament, and was a very authoritative Turkic nobleman, whose tribe had always been close to the Turkic royal family, and was always a descendant of the Ashina tribe. Secondly, Wei Su is in. Among the fifteen major tribes of Mobei Tiele, the power is second only to Xue Yantuo, and the number of soldiers and horses under his subordinates is 50,000, which is equal to Xue Yantuo's strength, besides. Historically, the Wesu tribe has established khanates on two occasions. This tribe has always been fierce and prestigious. This time the alliance will be united. Wei Su brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, of which Shi Jian's Ashid tribe sent 10,000 troops, Shi Jian's subordinate generals, Wei Hui's subordinate Yao Geluo tribe's Yao Ge Luo Tu Midu also led Wei Hui's several troops and horses 5,000 to come, and the other is the Bodhisattva of Shi Jian, the son of Shi Jian, the first warrior in Mobei, this brave warrior who has been separated and self-reliant, this time also led the 5,000 soldiers of the Wei Su tribe to come. Shi Jian, Bodhisattva, and Tumidu, the three of them led Wei Su's 20,000 soldiers. With these 20,000 soldiers, Wei Su has a strong voice in the alliance this time. The soldiers and horses of the Wei army accounted for one-fifth of the coalition army.

With 20,000 soldiers and horses, his opinion was very influential.

However, while opposing the plan of the Yi Iron Bowl to go to Baidao to join Dulan, Shi Jian also did not approve of the plan of the Bayegu, Tongluo and other tribes to directly cross the desert and attack Huaihuang in the south.

Wei Su had his own plan, and Shi Jian's plan was for the coalition army to go east and sweep away the Tuli subordinates first, excluding of course their Tiele tribes, which were also under the command of the northern Khan Tuli.

Shi Jian said at the conference: "Distinguished tribal leaders, let me ask you, what are our Tiele tribes sending troops for? ”

The heads of the various tribes gave a variety of answers. There were those who obeyed the orders of the Khan, those who took revenge, and those who robbed.

"The words of the great chiefs are both right and wrong. Let me say it. We sent troops this time, not only in response to the Great Khan's order, but also for revenge. Also for the looting of the population money and food, but. Shi Jian paused for a moment. Raising his voice, he said, "But." In any case, the most important thing for us to send troops is to increase our strength. What is the criterion for victory and defeat in the war of the steppe tribes? It doesn't matter how many women's cattle and sheep we have taken, and the rest doesn't matter. The leader of the Yi lost bowl proposed yì to meet with Baidaochuan, and asked to unite the troops to be blue, because this could reduce the losses. I agree with this, but after uniting with Dulan, maybe we will have to unite with Datou, when we unite with them, even if we have 100,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that we can only become the third in this alliance, where to fight, how to fight, and even who to grab the things, how to distribute them, we have no right to speak. Maybe when the time comes, we will have to gnaw hard bones, but in the end we will eat meat but we don't have our share, we can really only gnaw bones, is this what we want? ”

"No!" Many of the clan leaders shouted loudly.

Yi Shibo asked rhetorically, "Going south to Baidaochuan, maybe it will be as the leader of Shi Jian said, maybe not." But if you attack Huaihuang directly, it will also have a huge risk, Huaihuang is not just a piece of fat, at the same time he also has a group of wolves guarding, according to intelligence, Huaihuang has at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to Xi, Khitan, and Xi have been attached to Huaihuang, once we attack Huaihuang, not only have to face the same number of Huaihuang army as us, but also have to face the soldiers and horses of Sanfan, and Huaihuang is not a lone army, they are the territory of the Sui Dynasty, backed by the Great Wall, followed by the Sui Dynasty, There will be a steady stream of reinforcements at any time. Moreover, the Sanfan is also a great threat, they can not only support Huaihuang, but also attack Mobei at any time, taking advantage of the emptiness of Mobei when we go south, and attack our tribe. ”

Shi Jian smiled and followed his words, "It is precisely because of this that we can't go to Baidaochuan lightly, but we don't have to directly attack Huaihuang through the desert, I think that we can attack the east first, and sweep away those tribes who are not our Tiele, and those tribes who supported Tuli in the past." "Shi Jian is quite old-fashioned, although he is not as brave as his son Bodhisattva, but he is quite smart, so the Mobei people have already given him the name of a silver fox. At the moment, as soon as Shi Jian's words came out, the leaders of the various departments could not understand the meaning of his words. This old thing is really cunning, the rise of the head in the west, Du Lan has surrendered, Tuli is attached to the Sui Dynasty, in this turbulent time, the silver fox Shijian is not willing to be the thug of the Ashina people, although the Ashid Department has a close relationship with the Ashina Department. The old guy has other plans, he wants to take the opportunity of the war between the Turks and the Sui, and take advantage of this opportunity to unite the Mobei Tiele tribes to send troops to clean and sweep the rest of the Mobei tribes, and turn Mobei into the Mobei of the Tiele people. In this way, no matter who wins or who wins between the Sui and Turks, they Tiele people are also victors.

"But the Great Khan's arrows, can we disobey disrespect?" Someone raised a question, this is indeed a problem, although Mobei Tiele is strong, it is not as strong as the Turkic Khanate, whether it is Datou or Dutou, or even the previous Turki, any of them can deal with them. At this time, they dared not obey the order, but they were afraid that the annexed wolf riders of the Turks would be killed in Mobei.

Shi Jian laughed, "Who said that we don't order arrows from the Great Khan?" Of course we are from. But it is also an indisputable fact that Huaihuang and Sanfan Yan zhòng threatened the eastern part of the khanate. We look at the big picture. Obey the orders of the Great Khan and attack Dyegan. And Dyegan went all the way east, trying to correct the tribal soldiers. We had to pursue all the way, and finally Dyegan fled to Sanfan, which was attached to the Sui people, and we could only chase Sanfan, and then Dyegan finally fled to Huaihuang, and we could only chase Huaihuang. In short, we are acting in accordance with the orders of the Great Khan, aren't we? ”

Many people have a bright eye, and this is indeed a good explanation. And it can be heard that Shi Jian's intention of the old fox is obvious. He wanted to take the opportunity to sweep the Mobei grassland tribes first, and then everyone went south to sweep the three tribes of Xia, Khitan, and Xi who were attached to the Sui Dynasty, and finally attacked Huaihuang.

"But Huai Huang is strong, and we are afraid of great damage when we attack alone?" It was the Quila Song of the Molly Department who spoke.

Yi Yi Yi Nan interjected at this time, "No, it won't be us attacking alone at that time, if it is really as planned by the leader of Shi Jian, then by the time we reach Huaihuang, we will have already taken the Mobei Tribes." In addition, the Xi, Xi, and Khitan tribes in the east were all defeated, and when we reached Huaihuang, we had a large number of defeated tribal soldiers and horses in our hands, at that time. We can let them take the lead. Moreover, even if we really can't defeat it then, we can still send people to ask Dulan Khan and Datou Khan to send troops to support us. Take 10,000 steps back. Even if you can't fight in the end, it doesn't matter. We'll just go back to Mobei then, but. The benefits of defeating the ministries are not going to change, right? ”

Shi Jian smiled and nodded at Yi Nan in agreement. He admires the son of Yi Lost Bowl very much in his heart, and Yi Lost Bowl, who has never had a brain and only muscles, has an extremely smart son, but it is a pity that he is called the Silver Fox, but he gave birth to a son who only knows how to fight bravely and charge into battle. Shi Jian actually hopes that his son is Yi Nan, he always thinks that even on the grassland, smart brains are the most important, at least more important than bravery. This is also an important reason why he had to drive his son Bodhisattva out early to set up his own door, so that his son would become a leader as soon as possible, not just a warrior, so that his son would have to think more about the overall situation and slowly transform from a warrior to a leader.

The Bodhisattva listened to it, but he shook his head, he jumped up and hummed to his father, "We 100,000 Mobei Tiele Elite Riders, are we afraid of the 100,000 rabble who are in the middle of the wilderness?" It has only been a year since the famine, and before that, it was just a place where a group of horse thieves gathered, even if they became the Xinjiang soldiers and horses of the Sui State now, but what about it? Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, if you want me to say, we will directly lead our troops south, directly attack Huaihuang, and destroy Huaihuang first. ”

The Bodhisattva is about thirty, it is the strongest time, he has experienced a hundred battles, to no defeat, in the Mobei grassland, is respected as the most brave warrior, called the god of war. Therefore, he was conceited and very high-spirited, and what he just said was the same as his previous way of fighting, quite direct and simple and crude. Whenever he fights, he is straight to the enemy's army, like a storm of blows, cutting the general to capture the flag, and winning with one drum.

When he was young, he also had the same temper as the Bodhisattva, but now that he is old and has been the leader of Xue Yantuo for many years, the way of thinking about problems is no longer the same as before. In the past three days, there have been disputes, and some of his original thoughts have been loosened in his heart. He knew that the old boy of Silver Fox Shi Jian was still fighting with him because he didn't become the leader of the coalition army, but at the same time, he had to admit that the reasons that Shi Jian put forward against him were also very sufficient. However, no matter how good the reason Shi Jian proposed, he couldn't just follow him. Otherwise, what prestige will he, the newly appointed leader of the coalition army, have in the future.

Therefore, I carefully weighed it in my mind for a long time. Yi lost the bowl and looked at the Bodhisattva and had a new idea.

"There are still many tribes in Mobei who obey the Turks, especially those Sogdian tribes, who have always been greedy, and if our army goes south, it is difficult to ensure that they will not cause chaos. Before going south, it is indeed necessary to sweep Mobei first. Sweeping them will not only remove future troubles, but also raise more grain and grass for the army. However," Yi lost his words, "but we can't ignore the Great Khan's orders, I don't think it's as good as this, let's divide our troops into two ways." One stayed to sweep Mobei first, then then to Sanfan, and finally arrived in Huaihuang. On the other hand, immediately cross the sand sea underground, converge our forwards, and then attack and harass on the periphery of Huaihuang, so that the Huaihuang army can not leave the lair, to support Sanfan or Daibei Yunshuo, and wait until the other department sweeps Sanfan, and then the two will meet under the Huaihuang city, and then we will level Huaihuang in one fell swoop, and then kill into the Central Plains Hebei and rob his mother! ”

"Fuck it!" The leaders shouted excitedly.

Everyone roared excitedly for a while, and then they all looked at Yi Lost Bowl, how to divide the two people? Who swept away Mobei and Sanfan, and who went south to Huai Famine? Of course, there is one more important question, after being divided into two parts, how should the spoils of war be divided? After all, the most important thing for the Tiele people to fight is not how much territory they take, but how much loot they take.

It turned out that everyone was united, and according to the custom, each ministry divided the spoils according to the number of troops sent. Now that the soldiers and horses are divided into two parts, how should they be divided?

Yi lost the bowl and thought about it, after the division of troops, the soldiers and horses that went south first would definitely not get much loot, and the one that stayed behind would definitely get a lot of loot. "According to the old practice, all the loot is divided into three parts, those who participate in the battle can get one share first, and the remaining two points will go to the alliance, and then the alliance will distribute the spoils according to the proportion of troops sent by each department, do you have any opinions?"

It was fair and agreed.

"How to divide the troops, how many soldiers and horses are appropriate to go south, and who will go?" Shi Jian stared at Yi Lost Bowl and asked. Although everyone agreed on the spoils distribution plan just now, it is obvious that it is definitely more cost-effective to stay and sweep Mobei and Sanfan, although they have to fight, but those are not strong enemies, sweeping them, you can get one-third of the spoils first, and then you can share the remaining two-thirds with the soldiers and horses going south, which is much stronger than the people who go south. Shi Jian plans to take advantage of this problem to give Yi Lost Bowl some color to see, so that this old guy will also feel uncomfortable.

As a result, unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, his son Asid Bodhisattva immediately jumped out and asked for orders to lead the troops south. When Shi Jian heard this, he almost got his nose crooked, this idiot.

As soon as the Bodhisattva asked for battle, Yi lost the bowl immediately smiled and closed his mouth, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, "Okay, since I am the first warrior in Mobei to ask for battle, of course I can't refuse." A certain mention yì, it was led by Ashid Bodhisattva for the southward soldiers and horses, and the other was led by Yao Ge Luo Tu Midu, well. Seeing that Shi Jian's face was getting darker and darker, and there was a tendency to run wild, he hurriedly said at the moment, "The Bodhisattva and Tumidu each led 5,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters, and in addition, Yi Lost Yi Nan and Randy Gelen were both deputy commanders, and 5,000 soldiers and horses from each headquarters went south together. ”

Shi Jian saw that Yi lost his bowl and sent his son south, and also sent the leader of the Quila Department to the south, and the soldiers and horses to the south were composed of Xue Yantuo, Wei Su, and Fenalva, three strong soldiers and horses, and the number was as many as 20,000, plus the thousands of pioneers in Mobei, the strength was not bad, so he had to nod and agree at the moment. The plan to send troops was cleared, and the alliance meeting was finally over, so there was no need to continue to make noise.

The Bodhisattva was in a hurry, and as soon as the meeting was over, he immediately sent an order to the headquarters and immediately went south. (To be continued......) R1292
