When the Tiele cavalry appeared under the ice castle, Yi Feng was drinking with the leaders of the five major tribes of the Xi tribe who arrived one after another in the camp fence behind.

The leaders of the five major tribes of the Xi tribe, at this time, dressed in bear skin, wolf skin, and wild boar skin, sat in front of Yi Feng like mountain hunters who had just come out of the old forest, and the leaders looked at Yi Feng with awe. Especially the Su branch of the Ahui clan, he now almost treats Yi Feng as a bodhisattva, this time Tiele came to attack, the Ahui clan suffered a heavy blow, if it wasn't for Yi Feng's timely rescue, the Ahui tribe definitely died more than 10,000 people, maybe the Ahui clan established in his father's hands, it couldn't afford to fight, and even fell apart. After the efforts of their father and son, they integrated and established the Ahui tribe, and now there are 100,000 people in all large and small tribes, before he was also very conceited, feeling that the Ahui clan is strong, and even has several times to subdue the remaining four tribes of the Xi tribe, establish a unified Xi kingdom, and become the king of Xi himself. But this time, Tiele people gave Su Zhi a resounding slap in the face, so that he finally came to his senses.

Although the Ahui clan has been dependent on the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains for many years, has had ample time to recuperate, and has developed rapidly, in the final analysis, a large population does not mean that it is strong. Under the attack of 10,000 horses and horses of the Mobei Tiele and Luo tribes, the Ahui clan, which had 100,000 people, was defeated and retreated, and was almost thrown into a state of no return. They can be beaten without a door to enter the ground, and there is no way to go to the sky. Now he was beaten by the Sui army behind closed doors. If the Tiele people were only defeated by the Sui army, it would be nothing, after all, in terms of numbers, the Sui army was only 10,000 out of 20,000 Tiele. But actually. By now, the Tiele people had lost almost two thousand cavalry, and what about the Sui army? It is estimated that it is less than two hundred. The most important thing is that the remaining 8,000 Tiele people have been locked up, and it is difficult to fly, and the fate of defeat is already doomed, but even if these Tiele people want to fight the trapped beasts. If you want to die together, you have no chance. Su Zhi had never seen such a battle, and only twice as many men and horses were used. But with almost negligible casualties, tens of thousands of Mobei cavalry have been swallowed up.

And such a general is not yet twenty years old. It's hard to imagine, but in front of the facts. Su Zhi was undoubted. This only made him more in awe of Yi Feng. This reminded him of Huo Quai, a famous general in the Han Empire in the Central Plains, and refused to say that this famous general of the Han Dynasty who broke the Huns was only twenty-one years old when he was named Wolf Juxu.

Looking at the young handsome man who was talking eloquently, Su Zhi had already thought further in his heart, this Tongluo cavalry stained with the blood of the Ahui clan was already doomed to be difficult to fly, and its demise was imminent. Although this made Su Zhi feel relieved in his heart, it did not make him completely reassured. The 10,000 Tongluo cavalry was wiped out here, and this would not be the end. Instead, it's just the beginning. This 10,000 Tongluo cavalry may be a heavy loss for the Tongluo tribe. But the Tongluo tribe is much stronger than the Ahui clan, they have 80,000 cavalry in the Turkic Khan's army, in fact, the Turkic 10,000 cavalry is not full, but the Tongluo tribe, which has 80,000 cavalry, has actually maintained the number of at least 40,000 cavalry, even if it loses 10,000 here, there are at least 30,000, and if necessary, they can mobilize more.

What's more, the Tongluo tribe is only one of the tribes of the Tiele tribe, and the entire Tiele tribe has more than one million households and a population of nearly 10 million. And such a powerful Tiele tribe is only a part of the subjugation to the Turks. Although today's Turks are not as good as they were then, they are now divided into east and west, and the Tiele tribe is more scattered, but the emaciated camels are also bigger than horses. In the past, the Xi people were able to recuperate for all these years, completely relying on his father's decision to attach themselves to the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains. After this setback, Su Zhi had given up the idea of conquering the other four major tribes of the Xi tribe, and what he thought now was that he should seize this opportunity and hold the legs of the young handsome man in front of him tightly, as long as this handsome man was willing to protect them, then even if the Tiele people came again, they would no longer have to be afraid.

The leaders of the other four tribes of the Xi clan thought about the same as Su Zhi at this time, although the defeat this time was that Su Zhi was the Ahui Division, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, and even the most powerful Ahui clan could not defeat the Tiele people, so they were naturally even worse. Moreover, the divisions and divisions of the four tribes suffered from the plundering attack of Bayegu last time, losing thousands of men and horses, and they also knocked out their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, and they didn't even dare to make a sound. This time, seeing the courage of the Sui army, he naturally planned to firmly hug the thighs of the Sui army.

The more the two sides talked, the happier they became, the Xi people wanted to use the Sui army to fight against the Turkic attacks, and Yi Feng certainly had his own plans. Whether it is Xi or Khitan, after more than ten or twenty years of development, they are now with a large population, but these two tribes also have one thing in common, that is, they have a lot of people but their military strength is very weak, especially not long before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, they have experienced a reorganization of the tribes within the two major tribes, and after the reorganization, the Khitan has ten tribes and the Xi tribe has five tribes, but they are still scattered, and even a practical alliance and alliance leader have not yet been produced. If according to the historical development, Xi and Khitan will next advance to the era of tribal alliances, producing the leaders of the alliance, and even some systems, and the Khitan was in the late Tang Dynasty, after dissolving many systems in the Central Plains, a Khitan kingdom was established, and finally the Liao Dynasty was established. And now, these two tribes are still very loose, which makes Yi Feng see an opportunity, an opportunity to merge these two tribes under his command. Of course, it will never be so easy to annex Xi and Khitan, but now that the two tribes are threatened by the Turks, Yi Feng has room to operate and bring these two tribes together. I don't expect it to happen at the beginning, but I can use this to strengthen the relationship between the three parties, slowly pull the two clans into their chariots, and finally slowly annex and assimilate them.

Yi Feng proposed a Jianyi, that is, after destroying the Tongluo cavalry in the Shehe River, in order to prevent the Turks from coming to retaliate, the Huaihuang army and the Xi people established forts and towns in important places in various river valleys and some mountain passes. It is the same as the Huaihuang army on the dam. Set up a fort and a beacon to establish a defensive line. At the same time, the Huaihuang Army helped the five divisions of the Xi nationality to train soldiers and horses, as well as assist in defense. The Huaihuang army could also send ordnance to the Xi tribe, and the Xi traded various materials such as minerals and cattle and horses. In addition, the five tribes of the Xi nationality will also select and transfer a group of young and strong soldiers to join the Huaihuang army to serve.

This mention yì is quite open and very tempting. For the Xi people, the Huaihuang army established a military town fort in the territory of Xi. The advantage is obvious, after having these military forts, it can greatly enhance the resistance and defense of the Xi people. But that's it. It is also equivalent to the Xi people opening the door to the Sui army. However, Yi Feng's next mention made them feel excited, and the Huaihuang army was willing to help them train their tribesmen's soldiers and horses, and sell them excellent ordnance and armor. The elite of the Huaihuang Army and the excellence of their armor are obvious to all. If the Huaihuang Army can really help them train soldiers and horses. And sell weapons to them, the strength of the Xi tribe will be on a big level, for example, the Ahui clan has a population of nearly 200,000, and the other four major tribes also have a population ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 to 100,000, but their warriors are very few, and the warriors of the five tribes are only about 30,000. Moreover, these are not very prepared, just young and strong herdsmen recruited during the war. These soldiers are far inferior to the Tiele people in Mobei, and even worse than the Sui soldiers. One is less than training. Second, they are also poor in ordnance, and thirdly, there are very few excellent officers in command. If the Huaihuang Army can really train an elite standing army for them. He was even willing to help them train the noble children of the tribes in the art of war, and sell them rich and sophisticated armor, so that the military strength of each tribe would be increased exponentially.

As for some other mentions, such as the joint construction of the horse lane from the dam to the Xi realm by the Xi and Sui sides, the strengthening of trade between Wuzhou and Xi, and the Xi Sui security joint defense agreement of Yi Feng Tiyi, the Huaihuang army built a town fort in Xi territory, and the Xi people allocated some land near the town fort to the Sui army in the town fort to use as a tuntian, etc., these are not the most important in the eyes of the Xi leaders.

The core of the Xi people in the Raole River Basin, the Huaihuang Army did not require the construction of a city garrison, and the towns and forts planned to be built in Yifeng's security joint defense agreement were more concentrated in the Luoma River, Yazi River, Canger River, Shehe River, Yinliang River and the Luanhe River, Liuhe River, Chaoli River, Heihe River, Baiyu River and other river valleys further west, Tanshan, Songshan, Mamengshan, Yanshan These mountain ranges, and in the plain area of the Raole River Basin, the Huaihuang Army did not garrison, but only proposed to help the Xi people build several towns and cities for the five tribes to live. and for trade.

There is also a clause in the Wuzhou Army's Xi Nationality Security Joint Defense Agreement, that is, the Xi Nationality allows the Wuzhou Army to recruit soldiers from the Xi Nationality, and allows the Xi people and the people of Wuzhou to move freely to the Xi Territory and the dam to live and live, without interference, and must protect their property safety from infringement.

"The Ahui clan is preparing to form a new army of 10,000, and I hope Yi Shuai can train the new army for us and train tribal officers." Su Zhi put forward his own opinion, after suffering a big loss this time, he realized the importance of a well-trained army, it may be difficult to establish a standing army, but to transfer strong people, trained by the Wuzhou army, and then equip the equipment of the Sui army, the combat effectiveness will definitely increase a lot. "We also need 10,000 people of weapons and equipment, and we have to have the same high-quality equipment as the Wuzhou Army."

"Our department and department want to ask Yi Shuai to train five thousand elites for us, and we also want a full set of equipment used by the Wuzhou army!" The head of the department and the department also immediately followed, but the department and the department were not as powerful as the Ahui department, and they also lost a lot of men and horses last time, so they thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted their teeth, ready to ask the Sui army to help them train 5,000 men and horses first. ”

"Ao Lost Department asks Yi Shuai to help train five thousand elites!"

"The audit department asked Yi Shuai to help train eight thousand!"

"Yuan Qian Fold wants to train eight thousand!"

Some of the five tribes wanted to train 10,000, some wanted to train 8,000, and some wanted to train 5,000, and finally the new army that the five tribes wanted to train was 36,000 men. Yi Feng also struck while the iron was hot at this time, and proposed to recruit 1,000 young men as warriors from each of the five tribes of the Xi clan. Recruiting 5,000 Xi soldiers, Yi Feng is preparing to use these Xi people to expand into the cavalry battalion, expanding the existing one cavalry battalion into two cavalry battalions, and the original cavalry reconnaissance regiment is also preparing to expand into a cavalry reconnaissance battalion. This expansion plan was a long-term plan, first to expand the cavalry battalion into two cavalry battalions with three regiments under its jurisdiction, then the next step was to expand the reconnaissance regiment into a reconnaissance battalion, and the next step was to expand the three cavalry battalions into five regiments of cavalry battalions each. In the end, the cavalry of the Huaihuang Army expanded from more than 2,000 cavalry to nearly 9,000 cavalry.

However, these have to be done step by step, and there is still no rush for the time being.

Regarding the army expansion plan of the leaders of the five tribes of Xi, Yi Feng felt that there was nothing inappropriate. The Five Tribes have a population of nearly 500,000, which is a force with a larger population than it is today. The five departments want to have 36,000 people, but there are not many. In fact, their original strength was about the same number, but the tribal military system was actually a system of herdsmen in leisure time and soldiers in wartime. Now that the Xi people have suffered a loss in front of the Tiele people, they want to get a trained elite soldier to prepare for war.

"No problem!" Yi Feng nodded and agreed, helping Xi people train the army. He is not afraid that he will teach his apprentice to starve his master to death, or that he will come to beat the master after teaching his apprentice. The most important thing is to get the Xi people to agree to the eastward expansion of the Huaihuang army, establish a town fort and garrison Tuntian in the key places of the river pass, and wait for these fort military towns to be built, the roads are also built, plus the local tuntian, the Huaihuang army can actually control the border between zhì and Xi, and further affect the Xi people. What's more, although Yi Feng did not ask to garrison troops in the area of Raole River, the road will be built there, the town will be built there, and the market caravan will also develop there, and at that time, the exchanges between the two sides will become closer and closer, and the Xi people will only become more and more inseparable from the Wuzhou army.

"Today, I swear that the Wuzhou Army and the five tribes of the Xi tribe have a brotherhood covenant agreement, and the two sides will jointly defend each other, and if either side is attacked by the enemy, the other side has the responsibility to send troops to rescue and jointly attack the enemy."

When Dou Jiande sent to report that the Tongluo people had arrived in front of the ice city, Yi Feng had formally reached a preliminary agreement with the leaders of the five tribes of the Xi tribe on the joint defense agreement. Both parties are satisfied with the signing of this agreement.

While celebrating happily, hearing that the Tiele people had finally arrived, Yi Feng smiled and said to everyone: "It's just right to come, and I also invite all the leaders to follow Yi to the same city, and watch the soldiers of my Wuzhou army wipe out the Tongluo people, just to destroy this dynasty food!"
