Chapter 495: The Turkic Retreat
"pia" There was a slight breaking sound, and Anluo suddenly felt a pain in his palm, only to find that the multicolored glass cup in his hand was actually crushed by himself, and the broken glass piece cut through the calloused palm.
He glanced at the urgent reports on the desk in front of him, some from the southeast, some from the northeast, and some from the east to the Gonglushui area, but there were also one from the west from the direction of Jinshan.
The army of Xia went deep into the interior of the desert grassland, and as the co-lord of the grassland, the Turkic Khan was unable to send troops to repel it, at this moment Anluo was extremely bitter in his heart, wouldn't the great immortal heaven no longer bless us noble wolf god descendants?
What made Anluo angry was that even the Ximurwei people began to have the courage to snatch the territory of the Turks, how flattering these cowardly pigs were to the Turks at the beginning, but now that they turned around and hugged the thigh of Xia Guo, they immediately had the courage to attack the Turks.
If you can't teach the people of Xia Guo a lesson, can't you teach the people of Ximurwei? It's just that Da Luo and Da Tou are still about to move regardless of the safety of the entire Turk, do they think that the position of this Turkic Khan is so easy to sit on?
Today's Turks are no longer the Turks they used to be! The generation that belongs to the Turks has passed, and when I think of this, Anluo still has some envy of his uncle Muzhu Khan, at that time, Muzhu regarded the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi as his sons, and he could get tribute every year, and that was the best period for the Turks!
In any case, the glory that belonged to the Turks during the period of the Wooden Pole Khan has finally passed.
Soon in the Turkic tent, a military meeting was held with the participation of the Turkic leaders, and many people came, including Anluo's own supporters, as well as various other dissenting tribal leaders, and even the so-called generals sent by Da Luo and Datou to support the war.
Several Turkic leaders shouted loudly and resolutely demanded to send troops to teach the Xia people a lesson, so that the Xia people could understand that if they had defeated themselves in the land of Beji, they could still defeat themselves on the steppe.
Immediately afterwards, a group of clan leaders with various thoughts, or those who did not understand the matter, also shouted and coaxed.
Anluo turned a cold eye to these people who shouted loudly, most of these people were tribal leaders who were not too convinced of themselves, and there were also a few generals sent by Daluo, don't look at the loud voices they would shout, once the battle was really discussed and decided to send troops, it was not Anluo's own army that was the main force to fight.
To be honest, Anluo was somewhat relieved when he learned that Han Zigao turned northwest and headed for Beihai.
The powerful combat power that broke out in the previous battle of the Xia army on the shore of Sumoshui and the scene of millions of corpses bleeding and drifting on the oars caused him too much pressure, and until now he has not forgotten the endless Turkic corpses on the river and on the other side of the river.
While thinking about the previous battle, Anluo sneered at the few clan leaders who shouted for war: "Since you leaders are eager to fight, why don't you join forces with a few of you, and all the land that has been defeated belongs to you, I don't know what you think?" ”
Before the words fell, the people who screamed the most before were like ducks pinched by the neck, and immediately lost their voices, and they were so red that they couldn't speak, causing the other leaders to laugh one by one.
Although he embarrassed these leaders, Anluo couldn't be happy in his heart, and he sighed secretly, where are these Turkic people who were full of domineering and self-confidence at the beginning?
If it was at the beginning, these Turkic leaders would have been eager to send troops, but now when they heard that they were just stationed on the spot and not taking the initiative to attack, these people were all relieved, obviously extremely jealous of the Xia army in their hearts.
In the end, the cautious and cautious nature of Anluo still failed to let go of everything to attack Shepherd City and Xuanwei City, but organized a coalition of 100,000 troops to attack the Ximurwei people, which could save some of the losses of face.
The Turks admitted that they did not come to attack Shepherd City and Xuanwei City, so that Han Zigao, who had been preparing for battle here for a long time and wanted to give the Turks another hard blow, regretted in his heart, but this also made the prestige of the Turks in the steppe further reduced a lot.
Therefore, the Tiele people within a radius of 500 miles from Muyang City and Xuanwei City, as well as other small tribes that were originally dependent on the Turks, came one after another, and offered their willingness to belong to the Xia army, so the vast grassland between the northern part of Beihai and Yangwu City gradually fell into the control of the Xia State.
For this newly added land, many people in Xia Kingdom did not care, because Xuanwei City was covered with ice and snow for half a year, and it belonged to a very cold grassland area.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Xia Kingdom, it is just another piece of cold and barren land that can be grazed in the country, and the others do not have much value, after all, this land is a bitter cold land even in the eyes of the Turks.
Now that the Xia State has advanced the battle line to the Great Xing'an Mountains, the entire east of the Great Xing'an Mountains, including the grasslands in the upper reaches of Liaoshui and Luanshui, are the land of the Xia Kingdom, and these grasslands are better than the grasslands of Xuanwei City and Shepherd City.
Compared with the indifference of ordinary people in the Xia Kingdom, Wang Ze and many senior officials and generals of the Xia Kingdom attach great importance to this land, and their determination to occupy this land is incomparable. dm
They clearly know how terrible the nomads who came out of this land are, whether it is Donghu who rose in history, Xianbei who started in the north of the Great Khing'an Mountains, or even the Mongol Empire that only Wang Ze himself knows about rising on the banks of the Troubled River, they have all become stronger step by step from this land.
These nomads first started in the northeastern corner of the steppe, and then swept across the steppe with lightning speed, establishing a powerful steppe empire.
In this cold land, everyone born has a strong will, and it is easy to become a strong warrior, and the soldiers produced in this environment in the era of cold weapons can even fight more than ten times the strength of the country in the environment of living and working in peace and contentment.
In the past, due to production factors and living habits, the Han people only lived in the warm Central Plains, and no emperor ever wanted to completely occupy this place.
Perhaps in the period of agricultural civilization when food determines national strength, the value of the vast and desolate prairie is too low, and the national strength of the Central Plains Empire can or may be able to defeat the Grassland Empire, but it is too difficult to maintain the occupation of this desert steppe.
But now Wang Ze is different.
He has a strong state backing, and the abundant annual trade profits of the Xia Kingdom, the huge grain production, the countless steel production, and the millions of Han herdsmen all make Wang Ze qualified to completely solve this hidden danger.
Moreover, the growing fur breeding industry in Xia Guo can also provide sufficient winter clothing, so that Xia Guo does not have to worry about frostbite of soldiers.
Chinese dynasties have never solved the northern troubles, even modern society is still facing a powerful woolly bear, if there is not a more powerful foreign enemy from the east, I am afraid that the country in the north is still the great enemy of China.
Therefore, if Wang Ze wants to completely cut off the northern troubles, he must start from the northernmost land, and only by completely occupying this land in his own hands, completely conquering all the tribes here, and integrating them into the Han people, only in this way can he completely cut off all enemies born from here from the roots.
The establishment of Shepherd City and Xuanwei City is just a new beginning, and a powerful credential for Wang Ze to completely solve the northern plague is Beihai.
It is this incomparably large freshwater lake that brings more possibilities to Wang Ze.
Thanks to the temperature regulation function brought by the huge water body of the North Sea, and the huge hot spring resources here, the climate here is a little higher than that of other regions at the same latitude, and the warm season is also extended by dozens of days.
It is precisely by relying on such a short period of dozens of days, as well as this abundant fresh water source, that this place has become one of the very few places in the northernmost part of the mainland that is suitable for agricultural civilization to settle and cultivate, as long as the Han people can cultivate it, they can completely settle here.
Although most of the rest of the Xia country is also half-cultivated and half-pasted, farming is still the foundation of the national economy, which is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.
Beihai is too far away from the Xia country's mainland, even from Yangwu City to Beihai is nearly three thousand miles, and Xia's grain needs to be transported from the more internal Mingtong River and Wanshui area to Muyang City, and it takes several months to walk just one way.
This is still not counting the very likely attack in the middle, the Turks will never watch the Xia State transport grain to the North Sea, so it is impossible to transport grain over long distances, and only after having a firm grain foundation can the occupation of the Xia State be guaranteed to be long-term and effective.
However, at present, the national strength of the Xia State is limited after all, and it is already the limit to be able to temporarily control the hundreds of miles of land around Muyang City and Xuanwei City, and only on the basis of the gradual increase of the national strength of the Xia State in the future can it further expand the territory here.
Anluo and Xia have a tacit understanding that they each hold their own territory, although it is a shame for Anluo, but the lost land is only the land of the Tiele people, and it is best for him to save his army first.
After Han Zigao completed the construction of Shepherd City and Xuanwei City, he began to choose a more suitable location for building a small city between these cities, and only waited for the opportunity to build a city along the rivers, lakes and other gathering points on the grassland in the future.
In this way, after defeating the Turks, the Xia State occupied a large expanse of grassland between the northeast of Beihai and Yangwu City, which had threatened the security of the Turkic tent from the southeast and northeast, and had already seized the initiative in the future war.
It's just that everything can't be as good as expected, although the Xia State defeated the steppe overlord Turks in the north, but in the Central Plains, it lost almost the entire land of Sanqi.
