Chapter 198 The Tang advisors in the Mobei grassland
On the grassland, a dark-skinned player sat by the bonfire, drinking kumiss from a bowl, looking at the herdsmen dancing around the bonfire, feeling quite emotional.
"Brother Timur!" A young man dressed as a knight approached Timur.
Timur looked up and saw that this young man's name was Mouluo Yiler, and he was the young chief of the Mouluo tribe.
The Geluolu people take their tribe as their surname, and Mouluo is the surname of this young man and the name of the entire tribe.
Geluolu mainly has three major tribes, Mouluo, Pogo and Tashing. The Jinshan King of Geluolu takes turns among the chiefs of the three tribes.
Now Geluolu's Ye Hu, who is also the King of Jinshan conferred by the Tang Dynasty, is the leader of the Muluo tribe.
Mouluo Yil's father, Khan, was leading the elites of the three surnames to cover the retreat of other tribes on the grassland. The old, weak, sick and disabled members of the Mouluo tribe were left to the leadership of Mouluo Yil to avoid being hunted by the Uighurs on the grassland.
When Timur found this tribe, Muluoyil led the rangers to capture him and almost executed him as a Uighur spy.
If Timur hadn't taken out the talisman representing Datang's identity, he would have been resurrected in Shazhou by now.
However, this can be regarded as acquaintance without fighting. After the misunderstanding was resolved, I heard that Timur was sent by King Jianning, and Timur immediately became a guest of the Muluo tribe.
The identity of an envoy of the Tang Dynasty was still very useful these days, and Timur quickly became familiar with everyone in the Mouluo tribe.
As expected by the players, King Geluolu was no fool. After hearing the news about the Uighur army's western expedition, the Geluolu people immediately broke the tribe into pieces and hid in the vast grasslands.
King Geluolu Khan led the elites of the three major tribes to harass the Uighur army and cover the tribe's retreat.
Mouluo Yiler led the old, weak, sick and disabled people of the Mouluo tribe to play a game of hide-and-seek on the grassland.
Mouluoyile was only twenty years old. Even if a man on the grassland matured precociously, the huge pressure made Mouluoyile breathless.
However, after Timur arrived at the Muluo tribe, Muluo Yile gradually became more relaxed.
Originally, Mouluo Yiler was full of expectations for this envoy from King Jianning, but after learning about the secret agreement between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, the Tang Dynasty could not directly provide any help except help to the Geluolu people.
Iler ignored Timur.
But I didn't expect that Timur was a thick-skinned guy. He showed his presence in front of Mouluoyile every day, and helped the tribesmen when they had nothing to do. Gradually, the tribesmen began to speak well of him.
During the contact between Muluo Yiler and Timur, he also found that he had a lot of affinity with this Tang Dynasty man, and the two soon became good friends.
Every day when the sun was going down, Timur would sit by the campfire on the grassland and tell stories to the children in the tribe.
Whether it was the stone monkey jumping out of the stone or the grievances and hatreds of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu, it was heard that these children were full of longing for the Tang Dynasty.
When Mouluo Yiler had nothing to do, he would sit next to his children and listen to Timur telling them stories.
Mouluo Yile was not very interested in the story of the stone monkey escorting Master Xuanzang to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
But Timur listened with gusto to the story of the Three Kingdoms that Timur told.
Especially when he heard Zhuge Liang's Longzhong strategy of dividing the world into three parts, Muluo Yiler found Timur that night.
"Brother Timur, please help me think of a solution!"
At that time, Muluo Yiler had also been forced into a desperate situation.
The scouts sent out discovered that the Uighur army had appeared from the west and north, and the messenger who had been in contact with his father Khan did not return.
All this gave Mouluoyil an ominous premonition, and sure enough, not long after, Mouluoyil received news that the coalition of three surnames led by his father Khan was being chased by the Uighur cavalry and had retreated to the west of Jinshan Mountain.
The old, weak, sick and disabled people led by Mouluo Yiler are still east of Jinshan and will soon be surrounded by the Uighurs!
Even the elite cavalry of the three surnames of Ge Luolu could not compete with the Uighur army.
The only thing Muluoyile could do now, with his livestock and the old, weak, sick and disabled, was to run away.
But escaping is not easy. The old, weak, sick and disabled people led by Mulu Yiler will definitely not be able to outrun the Uighur cavalry.
The scouts have discovered the traces of the Uighur army, and Mouluo Yiler is so anxious that he can't sleep every day. Once the Uighurs discover the tribe's location, the old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the Mouluo tribe will have to be completely accounted for.
The old man has already taken up arms, and everyone in the tribe has prepared for the worst.
If they are really discovered by the Uighur army, the old man will fight with weapons to provide women and children with a chance to break out.
Children are the future of the tribe. When he parted with his father Khan, his father took Muluo Yil's hand and told him that he must protect the future of the tribe.
Mouluoyile was so anxious that he couldn't sleep. At this time, Timur came to the door.
Timur only said one sentence, "I can lead you out of the Uighur encirclement."
This sentence made Muluo Yiler see the life-saving straw. Anyway, he was forced into a desperate situation, so let Timur try?
Mouluoyil decided to give it a try. He decided to follow Timur's suggestion and began to lead the tribe to move.
Unexpectedly, Timur led the tribe to circle left and right, and deliberately arranged some traces to confuse the Uighurs. In the end, Timur was actually surrounded by the Uighurs and led the Mouluo tribe to escape from the siege!
When Mouluoyil crossed the Ketong River, Mouluoyil was surprised to find that he had really escaped from the Uighur encirclement!
After this incident, Muluoyil relied heavily on Timur and listened to Timur's advice every time he transferred.
Timur gave sincere advice to Muluoyile every time, and their tribe tenaciously fled on the grassland. After half a month, they were able to escape from the Uighurs' pursuit every time.
At this time, sitting by the bonfire, Muluoyil offered a glass of kumiss to Timur.
"Brother Timur, I want to sworn brothers with you as brothers with different surnames!"
Mouluo Yile was truly grateful to this selfless envoy of the Tang Dynasty. If Timur had not been there, they would have been captured by the Uighurs.
Tamerlane drank the kumiss and said to Muluoyil, "Okay! I am also willing to become brothers with Muluoyil!"
Under the witness of Changshengtian, the two swore blood and became brothers.
This kind of thing happened among the Geluolu tribe on the grassland.
These players' "military advisors" rely on the game map to update the location of the nearby Uighur army every day.
The [Military Advisor] players in the Beiting Protectorate will mark the location and possible marching direction of the Uighur army based on the information provided by the players.
[Military Advisor] Players will issue early warnings to players who may encounter the Uighur army, and will also help players surrounded by the Uighurs to escape.
It was by relying on this mechanism that Timur was able to lead Muluo to escape from the heavy siege of the Uighurs.
After the two of them finished their sworn vows, Timur looked at Mouluoyile's young face and said, "Brother Mouluo, do you believe me?"
"Of course, we are brothers now! The sworn brothers on the grassland are closer than real brothers!"
Having seen Timur's miraculous calculations, Muluoyile admired Timur greatly and regarded him as a figure like Zhuge Kongming in the story of the Three Kingdoms.
Timur said: "Brother Mouluo, have you noticed that the Uighurs are also changing their tactics. Now there are fewer large armies and more small armies."
Mouluo Yiler nodded. Gel Khan was also the hero who unified the grassland. Since the main force of the Gelulu people could not be caught in the decisive battle, the Uighurs were also broken into pieces. They were about to make the net even denser to capture Gelulu.
tribe of people.
Timur added: "In addition, the Uighurs are still controlling water sources and occupying pastures. We can escape, but the animals eat grass and drink water. If they control the Ketong River, these animals will die of thirst and starvation.
die."
Mouluo Yiler's expression changed. Originally, this bonfire dinner was to celebrate the escape from the Uighur encirclement.
But Tamerlane's words ruined Muluoyile's good mood.
The Ketong River is a north-to-south river left over from Jinshan Mountain, and it is also the mother river of Mouluoyile.
Cattle, sheep and horses need to eat grass, and more importantly, water. Now that summer is gradually entering, the demand for water is very large.
This move of the Uighurs really made the Mouluo tribe very uncomfortable, and it was like a move that strangled their necks.
If the Ketong River is controlled by the Uighurs, the Mousei tribe will have no choice but to continue southward in search of new water sources.
However, there are many obstacles on the way south, and the tribesmen are all old, weak, sick and disabled. It is unknown how many people will die along the way before they can find the next water source.
Mouluoyile looked at Timur's face, filled with expectations, hoping that he, Wolong, could come up with a good way to break this fatal situation.
Timur said: "We must unite the power of all the tribes in Geluolu. Since the enemy has been reduced to pieces, we will concentrate our efforts on attacking the Uighurs who are holding on to the water source!"
Mouluo Yiler said doubtfully: "Concentrate your strength? Brother Timur, can we attack the elite Uighurs with just a few people?"
Timur said confidently: "No, there are thirty-two tribes, large and small, in the entire Ketong River Basin. As long as we unite them all, we can capture any Uighur stronghold."
Other tribes? Now that everyone is fleeing, how can we contact these tribes?
But Timur swore to tell the number of tribes. Did he have any special method to contact other tribes?
Is this the magic of the Tang Dynasty? Just like how Timur led the Mulu tribe to break out from the siege of the Uighurs?
At the same time, in the Beiting Protector's Mansion, Shang Bo looked at the exquisite sand table in front of him. The players in the staff department were summarizing the information, and the chess pieces were moving on the map one by one.
Around the Ketong River, the chess pieces of thirty-two Geluolu tribes are gathering and moving. A joint military operation against the Uighur defenders in the upper reaches of the Ketong River is about to begin!
