Chapter 1862: There is no need to keep disobedient people
The words of the leader of Tiemen directly made the face of the leader of Dongle turn red and white.
His chest was heaving violently, but he pointed at the Iron Gate leader's nose for a long time and managed to hold back a word.
Because most of what the Iron Gate leader said is true.
Zhao Youlin asked them to send troops five times and three times, but they refused to do anything.
As for the reason, it's just that I don't want to take the lead, I want to wait until all the tough battles ahead are over, and then pick up the slack.
They basically did this in every previous war.
As long as their core interests are not threatened, their first choice is to preserve their vitality.
As for the royal court's orders, it's basically a matter of listening with the left ear and hearing them with the right ear.
When the leader of Tiemen saw him like that, he sneered repeatedly. ??
"how?"
"Speechless?"
The leader of Tiemen raised his head and said calmly: "There is an old saying in the Tang Dynasty. If you pay, you will be rewarded, but the prerequisite is that you have to pay."
"This time our army goes to war with Xue Yantuo."
"Our four tribes, without exception, all sent more than 50,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses."
"What about you?"
"Have you sent out a soldier, an ox, a sheep or a horse?"
"Now that you see that the tough battle ahead is almost over, you guys have thought of coming over to take advantage. Is there such a good thing in this world?"
The leader of Iron Gate just finished speaking.
The leader of Baishui on the other side also spoke.
"Tiemen Khan is right."
"Since nothing came out at the beginning, then don't ask for so much."
"It would be great if the king can give you a Beihe and let you chew it like a meat bone."
"Do you who are robbing others still want to eat mutton with the main force?"
As soon as the words of the two people came out, the tribal leaders who did not send troops in the early stage all turned red in the face.
They wanted to refute, but they couldn't come up with any reason to refute.
<
br> Zhao Youlin looked at the appearance of these people and sighed secretly in his heart.
The Western Turks clearly occupied a territory no smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, and their population was not that small, but they were crushed by the Tang Dynasty in every war.
Is it all because the Tang Dynasty had firearms, but the Western Turks did not?
Not really.
During the two wars between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty only had sky fire and thunder, not even cannons.
But under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty was still able to crush the Western Turks.
In addition, in the last war where Li Chengqian commanded the Western Turks to counterattack Unsa.
Most people have already seen that the light cavalry of the Western Turks can compete with the firearms corps to a certain extent.
Even under certain circumstances, the light cavalry can even completely crush the firearms corps.
But even so, the Western Turks were repeatedly defeated by the Tang Dynasty.
why is that?
The reason is that the Western Turks are not united.
In the two wars with the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks claimed to have used 200,000 to 300,000 troops each time.
But in the end, only Zhao Youlin's direct legion, the main army, with less than 100,000 soldiers, actually fought against the Tang Dynasty.
As for the other people, they basically come to join in the fun and pick up the bargains.
Each and every one of them worked hard but failed to make any contribution. At the critical moment, they chose to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers to weaken the strength of their own friendly forces.
And when they see that there is no bargain to be found, they run faster than anyone else.
Based on the character of these people, if it were not for the existence of Zhao Youlin.
If Li Chengqian hadn't been focusing on the country in recent years and digesting the territories newly incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks would have been wiped out eight hundred times.
Even when the Ansa Empire invaded a year ago, this country ceased to exist.
And after the invasion of the Angsa Empire.
Zhao Youlin saw the reality clearly and decided to implement Li Chengqian's suggestions to the end.
Benefits cannot be given to others casually, but should be given to those who are useful to you. This is what is called uniting everything that can be united.
The major tribes such as the Iron Gate Tribe, Baishui Tribe, and Bahan Tribe are the die-hard allies that Zhao Youlin has found for himself.
Look at the picture in front of you now.
The corners of Zhao Youlin's mouth curled up unconsciously.
Allies are not in vain, and benefits are not in vain.
Because at critical moments, they can really come in handy.
And while everyone was arguing endlessly, Zhao Youlin slowly spoke.
"alright!"
"Everyone, please stop arguing."
As soon as Zhao Youlin opened his mouth, the place suddenly became quiet.
"I can understand everyone's mood."
"I also know that it's not easy for everyone to come out."
"Everyone has to think about bringing something back to the men, women and children at home."
"But I also hope everyone can understand my good intentions."
"There are hundreds of tribes living in our Western Turkic region, large and small, and hundreds of millions of people."
"As the king of Western Turks, and as the king of all of you, I actually want everyone to get what they want."
"But there are only so many cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, and there are only so many tribes. I can't guarantee that everyone will have enough to eat and drink."
"Distributing benefits according to the amount of effort is the fairest and most realistic method at the moment."
Zhao Youlin pointed at the leader of the Iron Gate Tribe and then pointed at the leader of the Baishui Tribe.
"Let's talk about Iron Gate Khan and White Water Khan."
"Both of them sent 50,000 soldiers and horses from each tribe this time, and even provided hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses as supplies to the frontline troops."
"I can't let them suffer, can I? I can't let the soldiers who go on the expedition
Are you going to leave empty-handed?"
Zhao Youlin looked at the Dongle leader again and said: "As for you Dongle Khan, your soldiers from the Dongle tribe have not appeared on the battlefield this time. If I give you all the enemy tribes that are best to plunder, the soldiers on the front line will not be there."
What would the soldier think? What would the soldier’s family think?”
"They are working hard and sacrificing themselves for our country."
"We can't let them feel cold, right?"
Zhao Youlin stood up, walked to the leader of the Dongle tribe, patted him on the shoulder and said, "And you don't have to worry, Xue Yantuo is very big and there are many tribes."
"I didn't get good food this time, there will be another time."
"After all, as I said just now, we will allocate benefits based on our performance in the war."
"Next, we will move all the way east, and your Dongle tribe will definitely have a chance to benefit."
"same."
"I also give this sentence to everyone."
Zhao Youlin's eyes fell on the faces of everyone in the arena: "You are the same, don't look at this war in terms of temporary gains and losses. There will be plenty of good things in the future, including gold and silver, cattle, sheep and horses."
"They are now waiting for you quietly on Xue Yantuo's land."
"It depends on how you go and get it..."
Although Zhao Youlin said so.
But in his heart, he was already secretly planning how to deal with this group of people in the next war.
If he hadn't been smart enough to unite Tiemen and several other tribes in advance.
So this war will probably be no different from the previous one, and Zhao Youlin will have to rely on Zhao Youlin to lead his direct line troops to charge forward.
And in the end, the benefits Zhao Youlin received had to be shared equally with these people, which was simply a loss outweighing the gain.
Zhao Youlin has had enough of that kind of life.
I also don’t want to be taken advantage of by these people anymore.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: "There is no need to keep the disobedient people."
