v8 Chapter 51： Subdue

"The Luzhou will be defeated very thoroughly, and the morale of the army is strong. Next, shall we go all out to carry out a comprehensive counterattack against Khitan and at the same time look for the main battle of Yeluabaoji?" Row.

Li Min nodded slightly.

There was no reason to delay this battle. Today, the battle conditions in Hexi and Shu are not particularly favorable. No hope of a great victory can be seen in the short term. Li Zhi's idea has always been to resolve the northern battle. Now the deadlock has been broken. Come down and take advantage of victory as Shangguan said.

"Comprehensive counter-offensive, this is the combat policy. The nearly 200,000 embargoes in Luzhou will learn from your ministry's strategy to fight grasslands. Under the guidance of the Quanzhenguan and airless release gate, the grassland herders will be used as a guide, starting from the original. Go up east and enter the north of Tanzhou and Jizhou. "

Speaking of this, Li Min paused, "As long as the Tiger Guard progresses smoothly, the direction of Tanzhou and Pingzhou will also cooperate. We must not let the Khitan main force go back to the depths of the grassland. Otherwise, we must destroy the Yeluabao aircraft. It ’s going to be a long delay. "

Li Min's thoughts were similar to those of the battle before Guan Qingcheng. She nodded and said the key points: "From Yunzhou to Luzhou, follow Luzhou to Mobe, to Tanzhou, Jizhou, The main battle to find Yeluabao outside Pingzhou is difficult.

"After all, we are still unfamiliar with the prairie. We can only rely on the full truth and no time to release the door, but they have not entered the prairie for too long. They are afraid that they will not be able to make things perfect. error."

The words that followed were coming out, but Shangguan Qingcheng didn't say anything, he just turned to look at Li Yan.

Li Zhi naturally understood the meaning of Shangguan Qingcheng: "Central Plains troops go to the prairie for battle, and the guide is always the most important link. If the battle distance is slightly longer, many guides in different places are needed. No one knows their territory better than the herdsmen. So we need a lot of shepherds. "

Shangguan Qingcheng looked at a certain direction in the camp. The construction method of the camp there was obviously different from that of the Tang army, and the style was also very different-that was the camp of the grassland tribe army.

Obviously, if these grassland tribes are allowed to lead the embargo, then after entering the grassland, the embargo will be able to march smoothly. As long as they are really working for Tang Jun, Tang Jun will not worry about any big trouble on the march.

It is not easy to get these grassland tribal army to work wholeheartedly for Tang army.

After all, they followed the Khitan Army to fight, and in the unfavorable situation, they first became deserters.

During the battle of Huai Rong, they watched indifferently. After the defeat of Yerecenjech, they did not rush back to graze as before, but stayed without hesitation.

The chiefs rightfully told Tang Jun that they were brothers and brothers, and said bluntly that they had helped Tang Dynasty a lot and made great achievements, and now they should be rewarded. Tang should not treat them like Yun Yun.

The war has just stopped, and the army is restoring order, treating the wounded, verifying military merits, statistics and materials, etc., leaving the army envoys busy and dizzy. Whether it is Zhao Polu or Shangguan's fall, there is no time to talk nonsense with these chiefs.

Tang Jun ’s northern leader will be Li Maozhen, but now Li Ye is here, Li Maozhen does n’t have to distract himself from paying attention to Luzhou, just focus on Yeluabaoji. Of course, Li Ye is the master of this matter.

"Go and meet these chiefs. From the perspective of the general, they are indeed a group of black people, but for the monarch, they are a force that should be drawn and used."

After Li Yan said this, he sent people to the camp of the steppe tribe, and informed them so that the chiefs could have time to gather together.

Of course, Li Zhi didn't wait for them. They only waited for Li Zhi's visit.

When Li Min entered the largest tent in the grassland tribal army, there were already dozens of chiefs eagerly waiting to see him enter the tent. These tribal chiefs hurriedly presented a charming smile, and Hulah had no discipline at all. The words surrounded him, scrambling to salute Li Li.

The Khitan Army battalion in Huairong City has more than 100,000 grassland tribal troops. There were also casualties during the melee, but it was not too large. More than 100,000 grassland tribal troops, hundreds and thousands of chiefs, large and small, are qualified to see Li Yan's side, which is almost one hundred miles.

Therefore, these chiefs are proud at this moment, thinking that this is a symbol of their own strength and status, and also a glory, but also means that there will be more practical benefits in the future.

Li Xun sat down on the high subject, Jia Xuan was in Shangguan's body, and he stood beside him with a horizontal knife, looking like a strong guard overlooking sentient beings. She didn't pretend to be majestic, but her unemotional eyes swept across the crowd and immediately made them tremble.

The prestige of Shangguan Qingcheng and the Langfang Army made these chiefs respectful.

With a smile on Li's face, looking at the chiefs who looked forward to him, Xu Xu said, "The grassland is going to change, and Datang will reshape the grassland order. This is a new and old era. Some people Doomed to fall from the clouds, and some people can soar into the sky. And it's all you who decide all this ... "

The chiefs were very happy when Li Ye appeared, they thought Li Ye would give them a reward.

But now, they found that the situation seemed different from what was expected.

Listening to Li Yi's meaning, it seems that if they don't trust in Datang and don't work for Datang, they will die.

Such a tough and overbearing statement made the chiefs very unhappy.

"His Royal Highness An means that if we don't cooperate with Datang, Tang Jun will treat us as enemies?" Barato asked first.

Because during the battle of Huai Rong, he was the first to come forward, and his clan strength was very good. Now he is the prestige of the chiefs. Many chiefs only look at him first, which is his confidence to speak.

Li Zhi naturally knew Barato. Zhang Chang'an and Buchen persuaded him, but Li Zhi looked in his eyes.

He waved his fingers. "No, you understand the meaning of loneliness wrong."

This reassured Balato. It seems that the Tang Dynasty still valued them and did not mean to overpower others.

But what Li Yan said next made Baratou open his mouth, and he was surprised there.

Li Yan said: "What you want is not to cooperate with you, but to obey orders, and obey the orders of King Tang!"

As soon as this remark was made, the chiefs shivered and looked at each other, and there were many discussions, and many people expressed dissatisfaction.

As soon as Li Yi came, he did n’t reward Tang Jun for his “assistance” and defeated Yeluxianiechi. He even wanted them to become a vassal of Tang Army and obey the order of Tang Army. How can they accept it?

Baratul certainly did not have the courage to anger with Li Yan.

But he also firmly expressed his attitude, Shen said: "His Royal Highness should know that Khitan has oppressed us so much that we withdrew from the battlefield. Now everyone just wants to go back to graze. If His Highness does not recognize our previous merits, And we still need to continue to fight, I'm afraid the warriors have no war heart. "

The meaning is clear, which is equivalent to not cooperating without giving money.

And given less money, they won't fight next.

As for obeying Tang's orders, Baratuti did not mention it.

If Tang Jun forces them to go to battle, Yeluzianiechi is a lesson learned.

Barato's words immediately aroused the chiefs' companionship, and for a while the sentiment in the tent was quite agitated.

Li Yan's eyebrows were indifferent. He was not surprised by this, and didn't seem to care much, but Shangguan Qingcheng frowned, and suddenly took a step forward, snorted humbly.

The chiefs shut their mouths at once, and the quail settled in equally.

Everyone feels like a boulder in their hearts and a mountain on their shoulders. Not only is it difficult to sit still, but also it is difficult to breathe. You need to use all the power to repair it.

Shangguan's allure looked bleak.

These prairie tribes,

United together is indeed a considerable force, but their respective strengths are not worth mentioning. When the Khitan swept across the grasslands, large threatening tribes had been cleaned up. Although there are many tribes combined, no tribe has more than 10,000 soldiers.

Such a tribe cannot match even a county in Datang. How can there be a master who can resist the coercion of Shangguan?

In front of Shangguan Qingcheng, they were just a group of ants.

After seeing everyone settled, Li Yan smiled again, and said lightly: "Although they are fighting to protect the entire race, they have actually betrayed Khitan. If the winner of this war is not big Don, then you can imagine the situation after the war-Yeluabaoji will never let you go!

"Come to Datang and obey Datang's driving is your only way of life. Do you still need to be lonely and crushed to make it clear to you?"

The chiefs looked at each other again, and at this time they saw each other, not anger, but humiliation, helplessness, and pain.

In the war of Huai Rong, they chose to retreat. They thought that they would take a step back, but they did not expect to meet them. There would only be more and more oppression.

They just want to keep all the people, graze quietly, and find a way to live. Why is it so difficult?

Barathu sighed and said to Li: "Your Highness, we are really powerless to fight again, otherwise the tribe will cease to exist. If Your Highness does not want to acknowledge our military merits and give us rewards, please let us go and let us go back to the shepherds. ..... "

Khitan cannot be aroused by them, Datang can't even arouse them. As the weak, now they can only ask for the mercy of the strong. The only thing they could do was to fight a dead net with the other when they were forced into despair.

Of course, Li Zhi did not plan to let these grassland tribal troops fight with Tang Jun.

He smiled and said, "Where does the chief say, the Tang people are based on righteousness and justice, wouldn't Gu Gu not consider your difficulties?

"Now you want to leave the battlefield, it's nothing more than worrying about cattle and sheep. This is easy to handle. The lone king division will take you to grab them. As long as you can grab the cattle and sheep, all of them are yours. Yes, how? "

Baratu's eyes widened: "We followed the Tang army to fight Khitan, but all the spoils belonged to us?"

This is a good thing that will not be encountered in the traps in the sky. Not only is Baratou malformed, the chiefs are a look that cannot be believed.

Khitan is now the most affluent tribe on the grassland. How much wealth they have, it goes without saying that Baratu wants to grab them, but he has no strength. Now the mighty Tang Jun is willing to help, this is just the scene that appears in the dream.

Li Yan laughed: "There are not many shepherds in Datang. What do you want so many cows and sheep to do? The wealth of Khitan, whether it is cows or sheep, or food, you want, although you take it. What you want is only Khitan's territory And people. "

"Thank you, King Ann, Baratou is willing to serve his life and follow the Tang army to fight!" Baratou stated without hesitation.

He knew that the Tang army in Luzhou could defeat Yelu Xianiechi's tribe, and it was very likely that he would defeat Yeluabaoji in the future! Even if Tang Jun can't destroy the other side, as long as he can win a few victories and **** the cattle and sheep, they will be enough for these tribes, big and small, to survive this winter safely.

And if Tang Jun completely defeats Khitan, each of their tribes will become rich!

After Barato, other chiefs also saluted one after another, expressing their determination to follow the Tang army.

As for their military merit in the Huai Rong battle, at this moment there is no time to mention it. They also know that Li Zhi's attitude is useless even if he mentions it. But they didn't care. As long as Li Zhi gave them the cattle and sheep rations they needed for the battle, they could follow the Tang army to fight Khitan and rob each other!

The Khitans who have been working on the prairie for years, oppressing other tribes, and forcing them to go to war have long made them hate them. Now the elite army of the kingdom of heaven is helping them, and they are just revenge!
