Chapter 393: Alliance Strategy
The prince unfolded the map and said:
"There is no doubt that the comprehensive strength of the Eastern Turks is several times that of Tiele Khan. Because they have been supported by all aspects of the DPRK for more than ten years. ”
"And now that Ashina-Yuanhuan is in control of the royal court, even if this prince immediately orders to cut off all aid to them, they can still get it from Jiangnan."
"Gangnam? Their carriages and horses can't get by! ”
Tuoba Ling pointed to the map and wondered.
Yuan Zhi sneered when he heard this:
"They can't go by land, so they can take the waterway, the sea route, and the way to the room."
After the prince dialed it like this, several bigwigs of the Tiele League were empowered and understood at once.
"Now the time is not yet ripe for us to jointly attack the Turks, first of all, you will be attacked on both sides, and once the final Jin Empire starts a war in the northern Xinjiang, the king of Jiangnan will immediately raise troops, and the horse bandit rebels in the Western Regions, as well as the Western Turks, will also make waves, plus threats such as the Tubo State, it will be a mess."
Yuan Zhi straightened up, glanced at the side, and said:
"Lone's intention is very clear, first take down the Murwei, overthrow the reign of the Wei royal family, and support a royal family who supports us to come to power."
"Once the Murwei is mastered, it is equivalent to cutting off the sea transportation channel between the Eastern Turks and the king of Jiangnan, and weakening their strength even more."
"And Tiele can get large-scale economic assistance from our DPRK through the territory of Murowe."
"Our advantages are immediately highlighted."
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
"Then once we attack Murowei, the Ashina clan will not take action?" Tuoba Ling wondered.
Yuan Zhi smiled when he heard this:
"The internal party struggle is very complicated, and Merriam-Webster's rule is by no means monolithic, and we use subversive means, plus appropriate military intervention, to prop up a royal family that is inclined to us."
"In this case, there is no reason for the Ashina clan to start a war rashly, not to mention, Mo Xi has just died, and his influence is still there, at least until the end of this year, after the spring of next year, Yuanhuan will fully control the whole territory, and then she will be revealed in her true form."
"Ashina Yuanhuan is not thinking about you Tiele, but the threat of our Ultimate Jin Empire, this time we are here to discuss, it is not a secret, this news will soon spread to Dali City."
Tuoba Ling nodded yes, admiring the prince's strategy and clever calculations in his heart.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, when will the Murwei side start?"
Yuan Zhi grinned and said:
"It's already started, and Prince Ben plans to completely solve the problem of Murowei in two months, or at most three months, and at least pave the road."
"Don't worry, Lone personally supervised the battle in Youzhou, and only after it was done, did it return to Chang'an."
The prince's words were like a spring breeze, and Tuoba Ling and Tuoba Yuqian's parents, as well as the leaders of several major tribes of the Tiele League, were all overjoyed.
"Your Highness is wise, I admire you! In the future, everything will obey His Royal Highness's orders and go to the soup and fire. ”
Tuoba Ling took the lead and knelt down on one knee and said loudly.
Lin Yuqian and the other tribal leaders all knelt down in unison.
"From now on, the ministers will absolutely obey His Highness's orders and swear to the death."
Seeing that the leaders of Tiele had expressed their oaths, Yuan Zhi was very happy, and he personally stepped forward to help Tuoba Ling and the others.
In order for the alliance to operate efficiently and smoothly in the future, Lone believes that it is necessary to establish an alliance command in order to unify command and coordinate the armies and all resources of the two sides."
The crown prince then emphasized the leadership of the Empire in the alliance, so he wanted more rights and respect.
He mentioned his use and development of resources in Mobei, as well as his desire to enjoy privileges and status in the Tiele League.
After hearing this, Tuoba Ling secretly assessed the impact and feasibility of these conditions in his heart.
He knew that although the conditions of the final crown prince were harsh, they were not unacceptable.
There is a way to say first and then not mess up, set the rules, list the specific implementation rules, and then both parties will act according to the rules.
However, he needed time to carefully consider the conditions and put them together in writing, signed by both parties.
Therefore, Tuoba Ling expressed his respect and gratitude to the crown prince, and also said that he needed time to carefully consider the terms and conditions, and then discuss the reply, and then confirm.
The prince understood.
It will take at least a few days for this series of negotiations, drafting terms, signing and other procedures to complete.
That's all there is to it.
He asked Tuoba Ling as soon as possible.
The first phase of negotiations is over, followed by a banquet.
Tuoba Ling arranged for his subordinates to bring good wine and meat to the Chinese military camp tent to entertain the prince and his party.
……
Panlong Town is a military town under the jurisdiction of Youzhou Road.
The location is in the easternmost part of Youzhou Prefecture, a large town built near the mountains.
Because it has the largest hoplite cavalry in the entire Youzhou Army, it is prosperous.
This is the largest horse farm of the Youzhou Army, and it is a horse ranch.
Therefore, it has a population and size that is no less than that of the county seat.
The difference between the military town and the ordinary county town is that the county town gathers the entire county dignitaries, yamen officials, gentry and wealthy families.
And here, there are more nearly 10,000 cavalry soldiers, as well as tens of thousands of war horses, thousands of horsemen, civilians and their families.
There are also a large number of herdsmen who depend on herding for their survival, and people from various tribes inside and outside the Guanxi are mixed.
The people walking on the streets of the town are far less leisurely and calm than those in the county town, but in a hurry.
Most of their faces were rough from the erosion of the wind and sand, or they were coarse and linen, or they wore only a pair of calf shorts shirtless, revealing their dark and muscular figures.
The streets of the town are far from being neat and planned like those of the county seat, but stretch haphazardly, and makeshift wooden houses abound.
Randomly placed stalls squeeze the street to half of the street, barely big enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass.
There are shouts with various accents, south and north tones.
The steaming food stalls, the chickens and dogs are crowing, and the people are shouting and the horses are neighing, but it presents a vibrant scene.
After Xiao Tingsheng and Zhao Shijun agreed on the eight-sided building, he began to inspect non-stop the next day.
Accompanied by Zhao Shijun's nephew and Yinglang general Zhao Hui, the group first came to Panlong Town.
He was going to inspect and understand the entire heavy cavalry base and the horse farm.
When I came to the base, of course, I had to meet the commander of the heavy cavalry, General Yingyang Wang Xingming.
But when he arrived at the hoplite garrison, he was told that the commander Wang Xingming had gone to inspect the horse farm.
Xiao Tingsheng and his entourage got on their horses again and went straight to the racecourse.
The military horse farm in Panlong Town is adjacent to the civilian horse farm, separated only by a long causeway.
There is no doubt that all the horses in the stables are military numbered, all tall and fat, and they have to be trained every day.
In addition to feeding a limited number of ordinary horses, civil horse farms mainly contain tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and countless poultry and livestock.
