Chapter 396: Planning to Send Troops
"I'm curious, why would you want to send troops to rescue this tribe of Temur?"
Sophia smiled faintly at this time, and there was a little more strange look in her eyes: "I think your mind is that you want to use this Temur to develop your power on the grassland, right?"
Jose was stunned for a moment, this Sophia actually saw Lao Tzu's thoughts, but he didn't speak rashly, just squinted at the little girl, and then said quietly: "Sophia, do you have any good opinions?"
The girl smiled faintly, but there was a somewhat complicated expression on her face, she shook her head and said: "My lord, I am afraid that if Temur's tribe is defeated, even if Temur is not captured by other tribes and becomes a slave, I am afraid that he will lose a team that he has managed to pull together, right?
Jose frowned, but seeing Sophia's confidence, he couldn't help but squint at her: "Go on." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"As far as I know, the political system of the steppe people is a tribal system, and at present there are seven of the strongest tribes on the steppe, called the 'Seven Tent System'. In these seven tents, except for the royal court and golden tent of the steppe people, the territory of the other accounts is not fixed, so friction and fighting often break out between these tribes. The grassland believes in the law of the jungle, so even the golden horde of the king of the grassland is not fixed, but is ruled by the most powerful tribe.
According to what you said, Temur's tribe originally belonged to the Duoyan tribe in the Seven Tents, and the Duoyan tribe was defeated by the neighboring Loufu tribe a year ago, and even the leader of the Duoyan tribe was defeated and killed, so the remaining small tribes of the Duoyan tribe were successively annexed by other tribes.
Temur's tribe is a branch of the Duoyan tribe, and on the grassland, a guy like him with an ordinary identity naturally has no prestige to serve as the leader. So even if he has a high status in the tribe, he has to rely on the leaders of those tribes, and speaking of which, this is also the tradition of the steppe people.
The tribal conflicts in the steppes are nothing more than the plundering of people and livestock, and the same must be true of the contradictions between Temur's tribes. But my lord, you can think about it, although we don't have the strength to defeat the tribe they are hostile to, but the small tribe where Temur is located, I'm afraid we still have the ability to defeat it!"
"What do you mean...... Let me send troops to fight Temur's tribe?" Jose was a little surprised, and before he could react, Sophia had already explained with a smile: "The reason why Temur doesn't have the strength to control this tribe now is because there are still tribal leaders in this tribe, and I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to entrap everyone.
If we were to take the steppe at this time, we wouldn't even need a few people to threaten Temur's tribe. When the time comes, you can let Temur instigate their leader to fight, and then let Temur be our internal response, hum, as long as you kill the leader of the steppe people, are you afraid that the rest of the tribe will not obey the order?"
"But even if Temur has mastered the tribe, they still don't have many people, how can they deal with the attack of that hostile tribe? Maybe that tribe will take advantage of our war with the steppe people to directly attack Temur's tribe, and then we will not be busy in vain?" Alok thought for a moment before he couldn't help but ask his own question.
"That's the crux of the matter. Sophia shook her head with a smile on her face, and there was a bit of eagerness on her face: "Even if Temur masters his tribe, he can't defeat that big tribe, so this is only the first step."
We can first make Temur secretly communicate with that hostile tribe and express our willingness to join that tribe, and when Temur joins the entire tribe into the hostile tribe, we will take the opportunity to attack the hostile tribe. When the time comes, with Temur as an internal response, we don't need to pay much price, or maybe we can directly annex that big tribe!"
Joseph understood what Sophia meant, first let Temur take power, then pretended to take refuge to confuse the opponent, and finally sent troops to attack the big tribe by himself. I have to say that this plan is not bad, not only can it solve the power contradiction of Temur's tribe, but if it succeeds, it will also improve Temur's strength a lot.
After thinking for a while, Jose finally nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "This method is not bad, just do what you say." But after all, the stakes are high, so I thought it would be best for you to visit it yourself. I will let the thousand private cavalry that I have trained with Gould follow you, and you will have the supreme command if necessary. Then I'll give you another regiment of infantry from the private army as a reserve, what do you think?"
When Sophia heard this, a slight smile appeared on her face, and then she immediately smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, my dear Lord Viscount. With a regiment of infantry and a thousand cavalry, and the captain of your personal guard, I have no worries about my own safety.
It's just that I have some requests, um, and besides that, I hope that the adults will allocate me another sum of money, oh, preferably gold rather than some golden ticket or something, the more the better!Of course, I can't tell you what this money is used for, but I'm sure you'll agree, because you can see it as an investment, and I'm confident that it will give you a good return!" Sophia smiled slightly and winked playfully at Joseph.
"You want money?" José was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this girl probably had some other ideas, so he simply nodded and agreed: "I can give you 20,000 gold coins, which is the most gold I can make up in the city of Sadland." In addition to that, I'll ask Alok to send you a few capable generals, and by the way, I'll be able to see the blood of this new army. ”
When Jose said this, he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart, after all, in his plan, he was reluctant to let this recruit go to the battlefield so early. On the one hand, it is because these guys have little combat experience, and on the other hand, because the combat effectiveness of the steppe cavalry is too strong, and once they fight, their own infantry will suffer too many casualties. It's not very suitable as a combat object, otherwise I'm afraid I haven't trained any veterans, and I'm already going to recruit again.
However, according to Sophia's plan, the main combat missions are all undertaken by the cavalry, and with Sophia's staff on the side, even if the steppe tribe cannot be defeated, it should be no problem to return safely.
