The officials of the Tang Dynasty did not want to get involved in the affairs between their tribes, and they could not afford to provoke them.
But that was in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, after the brief unification of the Sui Dynasty, the hatred between the Han people and the tribal peoples living in the Central Plains had weakened a lot.
Many tribal peoples also actively moved closer to the Han cultural circle. For example, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty took the initiative to change his surname and living habits.
There are also many ethnic groups that have gradually stopped using the grassland lifestyle, such as the Chile ethnic group and the Xianbei ethnic group. Gradually, they are all integrated together.
In this way, since there is no distinction between you and me, the so-called hatred will disappear with the wind.
However, at the end of the Jin Dynasty where Wang Mi lived, because the chaos in the Central Plains was still going on, the people of the Central Plains who were invaded by the aliens still had a hatred for them.
If, after Wang Mi takes over the throne, Di Qin and others are not dealt with strictly, then these people who have been treated cruelly for decades will have nowhere to vent their pain, which is also very cruel to them.
Things may even bring disaster to the new dynasty.
Moreover, those powerful alien races may not necessarily be obedient. Think about it, not long ago, others were the overlords of the Central Plains and tortured you to death. Now, not long after, although you were defeated, the so-called surrender was entirely due to the beating.
However, it is not true surrender from the heart.
Therefore, once a problem occurs, it is a big problem. Not to mention that the imperial court is not fair to them, but even if the imperial court treats them with enthusiasm and complete trust, they may not necessarily appreciate it.
After all, making trouble is something engraved in the blood and cannot be stopped.
Under such a background, if you want to secure your position, these huge numbers of aliens really need to be dealt with seriously.
Kill them all?
That is of course unrealistic and cannot be done.
However, it is wrong to be blindly tolerant.
never mind!
It’s better to take advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Expedition and try your best if you can destroy more physically!
Although he had doubts, Wang Mi would still accept the cavalry sent by Fu Fei, and there was no reason not to accept it.
Right, the cavalry, they were all treasures during the Anti-Japanese War. Commander Li personally said that the cavalry is mine!
It's all mine!
Those who are reluctant to go to the battlefield, let alone the ignorant Wei and Jin Dynasties, are even more precious among treasures.
What's more, these cavalry teams sent over by Fu Fei have rich combat experience and a tough and brave style. Needless to say, their horses are also extraordinary.
They are all thoroughbred horses, and even compared to people, at this moment when the war is about to begin, horses are more precious than people.
If you think about it, there are still a lot of people. Sometimes there is insufficient recruitment. This is caused by many reasons, which are very complicated.
However, the reasons for obtaining war horses are easier to analyze.
What other reasons could there be?
Isn't it because there is no horse farm, or the new pony has not been raised and raised?
You know, it takes a long time to raise a pony into a handsome BMW that can go on the battlefield.
And this feeding work is actually a technical job.
One is, there aren’t that many new foals, and without horses, what would you raise?
The current Shu road is not very smooth, and the good horses from there cannot be transported in.
This is only one aspect of the problem, what about the other aspect?
Do you think it’s so easy to find stablemen who raise horses?
Bi Ma Wen is also a technical type of work, no wonder Sun Houhou is unwilling to do it!
In fact, if excellent foals are released to the private sector and allowed to be raised by private households, the rate of being taken off the street will be quite high.
The main thing is that they don't know how to feed them. Even if they can barely feed them, many of them will be thin and weak and cannot reach the level of fighting on the battlefield.
Therefore, for Beifu soldiers, as long as they can collect war horses, the more the better, and they will not refuse anyone who comes.
In this way, you should know how valuable this batch of war horses sent by Fu Fei is.
These horses are all grown up and their fighting ability has been tested. They are not ordinary ponies.
As for the cavalry, of course I didn't say anything about it.
Just as war horses are a scarce resource in the army, cavalry that can control war horses are naturally high-level technical military services and cannot be ignored.
As for Fu Fei, he also used his brain.
Since you have decided to send troops to support, it is right to give it more thought. As a general of Di Qin who is not trusted by Wang Mi, you have to send troops, but you cannot send too many, otherwise, won't your own territory be empty?
Also, it is said that swords and guns have no eyesight, and it is impossible to tell who will live and who will die on the battlefield.
However, Fu Fei still had concerns.
You see, in fact, in this kind of relatively complex army, there is also some closeness and distance.
For example, this is a critical battle, and the intensity of the battle is quite high. Everyone knows that hand-to-hand combat is necessary.
At that time, if you were a general of the Jin army, who would you send out as cannon fodder first?
There is no need to doubt that at least the direct Beifu soldiers must be retained until the end. As for these Di people, of course they should be consumed as much as possible.
There are them, why not let them rush to the front?
At that time, wouldn't it be true that the more people are sent out, the more losses will be suffered? Isn't it the one who is unlucky?
At this stage, neither Fu Fei nor Wang Mi can give up the original concept of tribal isolation.
They still regard people of their own race as their own, but if they want to sacrifice themselves, they can naturally be thrown out.
However, it cannot be too small. What will it look like if a small team of a hundred people is pulled out?
If Wang Mi sees it, not only will he not receive any credit, he may even get into trouble for himself, so he should send some cavalry!
Although the number is small, they are all elite soldiers!
One is worth ten. In this way, the intention is achieved without losing too many Di people. Moreover, cavalry is Di Qin's strength.
You see, I am very loyal to you, Wang Mi. These soldiers I sent are all elite, and they are all urgently needed by you.
My sincerity is enough!
Wang Mi didn't know much about Fu Fei's little tricks, not because he was fooled by Fu Fei's little tricks, but because he had no interest in finding out the reasons behind them.
What's the use?
has no meaning?
As long as the soldiers come to my place, I can dispatch them at will and fight on the battlefield. I don’t care what you think?
So, taking this group of cavalry with them, and after resting for two days, the Northern Expedition army continued to move forward in a mighty manner.
Although Wang Mi believes that Yao Qiang does not want to go against the Jin army now, after all, judging from the development of the territory, it is more beneficial for him to beat up the soft persimmon next door.
You see, just as Wang Mi and the others were marching nervously, Yao Qiang launched a new round of battle for Tianshui City.
At this time, a small move stirred up all three parties involved in the dispute.
…………
"Dad, have you heard? Tianshui has changed its guard, and that Zhu Xu is here!"
In the big tent, Yao Chang and his son, who had just changed out of their leather robes, were sitting around a small charcoal fire, eating wine and meat.
Hearing this, Yao Chang's face froze: "Why is he here?"
Yes, yes!
How could you forget?
Yao Chang and Zhu Xu were also old friends.
For nearly ten years in their lives, they all served in the same place, that is, under the Great Heavenly King Fu Jian in Chang'an City.
Zhu Xu was a reduced general, but as for Yao Chang, the situation was even more ugly. They were completely defeated and annexed by Di Qin.
Therefore, the Yao family and his son were old acquaintances with Zhu Xu, and they also knew very well how he was dragged into Di Qin's banner by Fu Jian.
Yao Xing picked up the iron pick, poked the piece of meat that was not yet cooked, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is right."
"Dad, I think Fulong is at the end of his rope now. He has no one to help him, so he even sent Zhu Xu here. Think about it, if an important town like Tianshui is in Zhu Xu's hands, then it will be just like giving it to the Jin army.
It is the same?"
"In recent years, if I were to say that the person who had the most overt and covert disobedience to Fu Jian was none other than Zhu Xu, we all have to move to the back."
That's natural. Yao Chang nodded slightly, not questioning this at all.
Their group, including Murong Chui and others, had no intention of obeying Fu Jian wholeheartedly from the beginning to the end.
However, I think back then, when they had no chance to escape, they still did a lot for Fu Jian. They conquered cities and territories, and no one was left behind.
Zhu Xu was different from them.
From the beginning, they had no intention of serving Di Qin. They chose to die rather than surrender. When they were first captured, they would rather die than work for Di Qin.
Do you think that after treating such a person favorably instead of killing him, after so many years of chaos, Zhu Xu would follow Di Qin wholeheartedly?
Facts have proved that Yao Chang's guess was really wrong!
"You can't be so full of words. There was a chaos in the city at that time, and many people took advantage of the chaos to run away. If he wanted to run away, he could run away, and no one would stop him at all."
"But what happened in the end?"
"Didn't he still move westward with Fulong and the others?"
"Zhu Xu is a Han Chinese. Unlike you and me, they believe in benevolence and righteousness. Maybe they are planning to follow Fulong?"
"After all, it's impossible for him to follow us."
After many years in the army, Yao Chang still believes in one truth, that is, don't listen to what a person says, but watch what he does.
There is a difference between doing things and doing things, and the choice at critical moments can best reflect a person's true state of mind. At that time, Chang'an City was in great danger, and Zhu Xu could obviously choose to run away, but he still left with Fulong in the end.
This shows what?
This shows that this is the truest thought in his heart at that moment.
What could be more real than taking refuge in a critical moment?
Therefore, there is no guarantee that Zhu Xu would choose to work with Fulong now. After all, at that time, Fulong was the only one in the entire Di Qin court who had that kind of Confucian demeanor.
At that time, Fulong could be regarded as Zhu Xu's rare friend in Diqin.
Yao Xing refused to give up: "However, the Jin army has recently launched a large-scale Northern Expedition. Looking at the current situation, it should be heading towards Tianshui. At this time, Fulong replaced Zhu Xu with Tianshui. Wouldn't Tianshui collapse without a fight?
"
"In the past few months, we and Di Qin have fought for Tianshui over and over again for several rounds. If we don't take action at this time, wouldn't we just watch an important town like Tianshui fall into the hands of the Jin army?"
Yao Xing is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Ever since Wang Mi began to enter the battlefield, he and the Yao family have never fought against each other.
As for the young Yao Xing, he had never seen the power of the Jin army's artillery, and he really wanted to compete.
"You mean, before the Di Qin and Jin armies fight, we should intervene first?" Yao Chang's tone was very cold, obviously not supporting Yao Xing's idea.
"But if we don't take action, the territory will fall into the pocket of the Jin army. Will we lose?"
"We have also lost a lot of soldiers and horses in the past few months!"
Yao Xing is a guy who can't afford to start early without profit. Even if he wants profit, he still wants big profit. A little profit can't tempt him.
For example, if Tianshui City hadn't lost a lot of soldiers and horses due to repeated battles with Di Qin before, he might not have cared so much about it.
However, who has already made upfront investment before? Those are also costs. Although the ancients did not understand what costs are, they would also know that my investment must be at least equal to my income to be reasonable.
They don't have so many great principles, and they don't understand any modern economic principles. However, it is really frustrating to have spent so much energy and still not win the territory.
Now, the Jin army is pressing forward again. If the Jin army succeeds (this is almost a certainty), wouldn't Yao Qiang's previous battle losses be in vain?
Besides, what Jin Jun and Yao Qiang are now facing are the same piece of fat. Yao Xing understands very well that the current Jin Jun is not easy to mess with.
Although he has never fought against the Jin army, he still has such a concept.
As for the Jin army, they were not blind. They naturally knew that there was a big piece of fat in front of Yao Qiang.
Both of them have the same goal, that is Di Qin!
Obviously, within visual range, the one they could bully and probably win was Di Qin.
In front of the Jin army, there is another Murong tribe to choose from, but looking at their marching route, we know that their goal is definitely not the east.
That's right. Based on the analysis of the Jin army's current battle line, we can also draw this conclusion.
Murong's tribe is entrenched on the front line of Longcheng, occupying Hebei, Qing, and several large states. In terms of territory, of course Yao Qiang has more territory, but in terms of strength, to be honest, Murong's tribe should not be underestimated.
On the one hand, they still have territory to expand in the northeast, which is the land of their Longxing, and it is quite easy to restore and govern it.
Secondly, Qingzhou, for example, has always been a place with a relatively developed economy and an extremely important strategic location.
It can be said that as long as the business is well managed and a firm foothold is established on this territory, it will be no problem to be the little emperor for decades.
In other words, the current Murong tribe's territory is very stable, much stronger than that of Di Qin, which is crumbling and has an unstable foundation.
