Ling Yun is unbelievable, the Tiger League will be short of food? The matter is obvious, this must be Zhang Sheng's secret ghost.
"How can we be short of food?" Ling Yun's eyes were cold, and he looked directly at Zhang Sheng.
"The alliance leader was injured and had amnesia before, but it's normal to not know." Zhang Sheng first laughed a few times, and then counted carefully, "How many people in our helm know now?" Tell the leader of the alliance, now we have a population of more than 18,000 people, and people eat a lot of horses every day. This is just a winter and spring, and there is not much food in reserve. ”
The LTTE Helmsman numbered about 3,000 fighters, including the five battalions, the three halls, and the four guards, as well as the family members of these leaders. In addition to these 3,000 soldiers and horses, the Tiger League also has many family members, and even the families of many brothers who are branch churches and rudder brothers are also placed here, plus there are also many workshops and ranches and other logistics personnel here, and this border city has a population of nearly 20,000. The LTTE is a green forest organization, and although it also has a few pastures and even grows some food, the main food supply is still looting and buying. Every year, the Tiger League will organize the subordinate branches below and mobilize some affiliated cottages to take action, and get a few votes. Other than that. The chief rudder also has the right to collect a certain percentage of money and grain from the rudder cottage below. It's always been this way, until now. There are fewer and fewer actions of the general rudder going out directly to rob, mainly the operation of the thirteenth branch hall below, and then collecting money and grain from the rudder cottage, and selling some loot in exchange for food from the south.
There are thirteen branch halls and more than 100 cottages to send money and food to the main rudder, even if there are nearly 20,000 people in the main rudder, there is no reason to run out of food.
"After the beginning of spring, the money and food from the various rudder branches below have not been delivered." Zhang Sheng spread his hands.
"Why?"
"There was heavy snow on the prairie last winter. Many cattle and sheep froze to death, and many herders were affected. ”
As soon as Ling Yun heard it, he already understood that heavy snow was also known as the White Plague in the grassland. A white plague often leads to a large number of herdsmen's cattle and sheep freezing to death, and then leads to the herdsmen who can only start plundering each other in order to survive, and even a big white disaster. It will make the steppe people attack the border south.
"Which tribe?"
"The Bayegu tribe of the Gaoche clan!" Pei Zeng explained to Ling Yun. "This is the northern Mobei tribe, Gaoche is also known as Tiele, Mobei Tiele nine surnames, Turkic Xiaqiang clan. The Bayegu tribe is similar to the Yan Ya and Murowei tribes, with 60,000 accounts, 10,000 warriors, prolific horses and fine iron, and the Bayegu people are mainly hunting. Very little farming. ”
"Mobei and Monan are separated by thousands of miles, even if the north is a white disaster. They wouldn't come here, would they? Ling Yun wondered.
"It was not the main body of the Bayegu tribe that appeared near Huaihuang, but a group of Bayegu soldiers and horses recruited by the Turks, about 1,000 horsemen. Last year, the imperial court allowed Tuli Khan to marry Princess Anyi as his wife, and deliberately gave him preferential treatment, so as to divide Dulan Khan. Dulan Khan was originally the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, and the Turki Khan was the brother of Dulan, and Dulan was furious and said that I might as well dye dry as the Great Khan, so he cut off the tribute and sent troops to invade the border. And Tuli fell to the imperial court early, and secretly informed the imperial court in advance, and the border had already been prepared, but Dulan failed to succeed. This Bayegu thousand-strong cavalry was ordered by Du Lan to go south to attack the border. When this group of people went south to no avail, they set their sights on us. Until now, the group has not returned, and has been staying nearby. ”
It may not be clear to say that Baye Gu Lingyun is talking about it, but when it comes to the Turks, Ling Yun has long been familiar with it in his heart, and he can even say that he knows it better than everyone in the hall.
It is said that after the establishment of the Great Sui in that year, the army was fierce, and finally in the third year of the emperor's reign, a full-scale war with the Turkic Khanate. In this war, the Sui Dynasty sent many famous generals, elite generals, and such outstanding envoys such as Changsun Sheng, and finally divided the major Turkic leaders, and finally the Turkic defeat, followed by the outbreak of Turkic civil strife, and the powerful Turkic Khanate was divided into two, divided into two parts, east and west, and the two were actually divided into several forces. At that time, the Eastern Turk leader Shabalu Khan was the father of the present-day Dulan Khan and the Turki Khan, and he was forced by the unfavorable shape of the Eastern Turkic tribes at that time, so he had to sue for peace with the Sui Dynasty and led his troops to move to Baidaochuan, that is, the front set of the Yellow River, the area outside the Yanmen Pass and the area north of Yulin. In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Sha Bo died slightly, and he thought that his son Yongyu Lu was cowardly and could not fight against the Western Turks, so he made his younger brother Chu Luo Hou a khan. For Mohe Khan, Yang Jian sent the eldest Sun Chen to give Mohe Khan a boost.
This Mo He immediately pretended to be a tiger and attacked the Apo Khan of the Western Turks under the banner given by the Sui Dynasty. The Western Turks thought that the Sui army sent troops to help Mo He, at that time, the Turks suffered a lot of defeats under the Sui army, and when they saw the Sui Dynasty, they surrendered without a fight, and Apo Khan was captured alive. The Eastern Turks turned over and became strong again. However, in the second year, Mo He died, and he passed the position of Khan to his elder brother Shabalu Khan's son Yongyu Lu, Yongyu Lu, known as the Blue Khan.
At this time, the shape of the Eastern and Western Turks had been transposed, the Eastern Turks were strong and the Western Turks were weak, and the Sui Dynasty began to suppress the Eastern Turks in order to balance the situation. This is also the reason why Yang Jian asked Dulan Khan's brother Tuli Khan to enter Chang'an to marry the princess of the clan last year, and solemnly dà to give him preferential treatment, so as to separate the two brothers, Dulan and Tuli.
The territory of the Eastern Turks was east of Jinshan, and within the Eastern Turks, the tent of Dulan Khan was set up in the area of the Yellow River, just on the Tumut Plain. As the little khan of the north, he ruled the Mobei region.
Although Dye Gan is also a khan, he is a little khan, and the word Turki is actually one of the two district names set up by the original Turkic Khan, and the other is called Datou. After the Turkic split, there were many little khans, this Bayegu originally belonged to the name of Tuli, but Tuli was also under the command of Dulan, so Baye inherent in Ma Lai Mo Nan also said in the past.
However, the tribal cavalry of thousands of people squatted near Huaihuang Town with the intention of thieves not going empty, which is indeed not good news.
Dulan's plan to invade the border last year was prevented by the Sui army because of the sudden ventilation and information, and it could not succeed. Bayegu traveled thousands of miles to the south, but he didn't get any benefits, and he didn't even get any money for the journey home, so he was unwilling to go back, and he couldn't go back. There are Sui troops in the Sui realm who can't defeat them, and Saishang Huaihuang Town, which is outside the Sui realm, naturally becomes their target. It's just that because Huaihuang Town has three cities and a population of nearly 20,000, they can't get hold of it for a while. But he was unwilling to leave, so he has been entrenched here.
With such a group of hungry wolves here, the outer hall and the rudder did not dare to risk handing over money and food.
The cause and effect of the matter was finally understood, although Ling Yun knew that there could be no food in the city, but since Zhang Sheng dared to say this, there must be a way for him to not find out for a while. What he needed now was not to find out how much food there was, but to find a way to face the thousands of hungry wolf cavalry, otherwise, it would be a great blow to his prestige as the leader of the alliance.
A thousand cavalry, it doesn't sound like much. The armed forces of the Tiger Alliance's general helm are 3,000, and if you add Ling Yun's brought, it may add up to 5,000. The Tiele people from Mobei, also known as the Gaoche people, the Eile people, the Ding Ling people, and the Tang Dynasty are also known as the Hui people, which is a Caucasian people. Tall, mighty, the wheels of the cars used by the tribe are high, so they are also called the high car clan. When this branch fell in the Three Kingdoms, it was already grazing in the area of Lake Belga, and in the Jin Dynasty, it began to enter the southern part of the desert and the northern part of the Central Plains. Some people say that they are a branch of the Xiongnu, by the time of Wei, the Tiele people had gone from the Beihai in Mobei to the Western Regions, and there were Tiele tribes everywhere, with a population of hundreds of thousands. The Turks first conquered Tiele in the Western Regions, and then they were able to defeat Rouran with great strength. This group of Caucasian nomadic cavalry cannot be taken lightly.
Although there are many people in the Tiger League, after all, they are just green forests, there are many rabble, and in the face of a thousand grassland cavalry, in the wild, they really dare not dare to fight.
"With these white wolves here, the money and food below can't be delivered at all." Zhang Sheng spread his hands.
"Maybe wait, these white wolves can't stay in Monan forever." Luo Fang finally had a chance to say a word, but when he heard the meaning of this, he was mocking Ling Yun.
Zhang Sheng said on the side: "This is not necessarily, since this group of white wolves arrived here, several of our pastures outside the city have basically been plagued by them, and they even plundered a tribe of nearly 1,000 people of the Xi tribe in the east. In fact, they have already robbed a lot of money and food, but these white wolves just don't leave, obviously, they are eyeing our Liancheng and want to do a bigger vote. ”
Listening to the two of them singing and drinking, Ling Yun sneered in his heart.
He had already heard that they meant to force themselves to deal with this cavalry. If you agree, you will have to face thousands of nomadic horsemen in the north of the desert, if you don't agree, you will be cowardly, and how will you order everyone in the future. The so-called food shortage is just a lead. Step by step, they have already set up a bureau to wait for themselves.
Ling Yun only thought for a moment, then got up and said loudly: "Deputy Alliance Leader Zhang and Deputy Alliance Leader Luo don't have to worry about it, they will be handed over to a certain person to solve it." ”
Zhang Sheng was slightly surprised, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Is this really what the alliance leader said?" ”
"Seriously."
Luo Fang said on the side: "I don't know how long the alliance leader plans to solve it, our food won't be able to support it for long." ”
"Within half a month!" Ling Yun replied coldly.
"Okay, the alliance leader is really arrogant, it's amazing. I'm waiting here for the good news of the alliance leader. Luo Fangyin said with a smile.
Pei Zeng on the side motioned to Ling Yun, and Ling Yun just nodded to him. Although he knew that this was a game set up by Zhang Sheng and others, he still jumped. It's not that he's stupid, it's a crisis, but in his opinion, it's not an opportunity. A great opportunity to establish the prestige of the leader of the alliance and open up the whole situation. A thousand nomadic cavalry is indeed not simple, but there are a lot of men and horses under his command, not to mention that there are also Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Dou Jiande, Lai Cheng, Liu Heimin, Wang Fubao and other fierce generals?
It's just right, just take it and try the knife and sharpen those future tiger warriors! (To be continued......)
