The capture of Albus accelerated the end of the battle. To be more accurate, it brought this one-sided massacre to an earlier end.
The rapid advance of the Thousand Gold Sword soldiers had already caused huge casualties to the old and weak enemies in the darkness. If there were no follow-up reinforcements, they would have been able to slowly defeat the enemy and completely capture and massacre the camp. It would take more
Just spend some time and run away from more enemies.
However, the timely follow-up of the 3,000 men of the Heiyi Army gave the enemy a heavy blow. In addition, the great Khan Abusi was captured, causing them to quickly lose their fighting spirit and collapse completely.
The influence of the nobles on the grasslands is much higher than the status of the nobles of the Central Plains in the Central Plains.
A slave is a slave, and a base is a base. You still want to compare blood with the Khan family? Shao Shude has been looking for descendants of Tubo Zampu for many years, but has never been successful. This is the reason.
After the battle, the results were immediately counted. A rough estimate was that more than 2,000 people had been beheaded and more than 100,000 miscellaneous animals had been captured, most of which were food prepared by the Tatars for themselves.
"Report the victory to your Majesty immediately!" Xia Sanmu waved his hand and ordered.
Next, he would use the captured baggage, property, and the results of the Khan's battle to shake the Tatars' will and cause them to collapse, and then cooperate with the cavalry and silver spears from both inside and outside to attack together.
This trip, whether it is the Tatar tribe in the west or the White Tatars in the Yinshan Mountains, will cause heavy bleeding. The established forces on the grassland have been severely reduced again.
The news arrived at Woyang Palace on the third day.
"I could have foreseen the defeat of the Tatars, but the capture of Abu Si was a bit unexpected." Shao Shude laughed and said, "Strange, didn't Li Keyong notify the Yinshan Tatars? Or are these people too stupid?
Are you greedy? How many more days will you stay?"
Mrs. Pei came over with a bunch of files, and then searched them with several female historians, picked out a few, and placed them on Shao Shude's desk.
They are all news about the grassland, and the source is the caravans doing business, and it is second-hand or even third-hand news. In addition, there is some news about escapees, but these people are of low level, their knowledge is limited, and their thinking is relatively confusing.
Can be used as a reference.
"The timeliness of the news is very poor." Shao Shude looked at the year recorded above and was speechless.
In recent years, more and more Silk Road merchants are taking the southern route, while fewer are taking the northern route, and there are still some detours. Then, the possibility of war in the western half of the Mobei Grassland is quite high. This is normal.
, in the context of the great Tatar migration, land grabbing and other things occurred frequently, so it would be abnormal not to go to war.
The Shuofang shogunate is not concerned about the news about the Mobei grassland. However, considering that the Tatars have continued to plunder southward in the past two years, and the Zhuanglang tribe, Hun tribe, and Zangcai tribe have suffered greatly, they need to pay attention now.
.
The Great Migration of the Tatars was a historical event that lasted for hundreds of years. They were defeated in the battle with the Khitans, and this fate was doomed.
Shao Shude also noticed that there were really more people in the eastern half of the grassland, far more than in the western half. These Tatars who moved westward were actually resources and should not be wasted. The Khitans also stared at these defeated generals without any regard.
Concealing the desire for annexation. It is much easier for the grassland tribes to annex each other than it is for your Central Plains government to annex each other, so don't be careless.
Yeluyi's development momentum seems to be very good. Now he is only the Yili Jin of the Diela tribe (the military leader of the tribe). Maybe in a few years he will be the Yili Jin of the entire Eight Tribes Alliance. Then the troops he can use can be
That’s a lot.
The Tatars who moved westward may be targeted by him. Some of the Xi people, Khitan and Hei Chezi Shiwei tribes who moved westward earlier will also be targeted by him. After defeating these forces that are easier to annex, he may also target them.
, either attack the Bohai Kingdom eastward, which has a population of more than one million but has reached the end of the dynasty's decay, or go southward to Youzhou and Daibei. In short, the frequency of Khitan activities and the intensity of the attack will be greatly increased.
"Now it seems that the war between the Gaochang Uighurs marching eastward to regain the lost land of their ancestral home has been going on for at least three or four years." Shao Shude said: "This is the important reason why the Tatars fled in all directions and people kept going south to plunder. On the grassland
Weather changes are also a big factor, with heavier snowfall in winter.”
"Your Majesty, the Gaochang Uighurs have risen..." Chen Cheng said.
"It's just a flash in the pan." Shao Shude said lightly.
Chen Cheng was a little surprised. How did the king make such a judgment? According to the information, the territory of the Gaochang Uighurs is steadily expanding, the number of troops they can pull out is increasing day by day, and their momentum is getting stronger. No matter how you look at it, it is a signal of the rise of a grassland power.
ah?
Shao Shude didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say: "The Gaochang Uighurs are constantly fighting among themselves, and the Pugu family has surpassed its master in stealing the throne, which must have made many people dissatisfied. Although the royal Yao Luo Ge family and his cronies were frightened by
The situation is dormant for the time being, how can we know that civil strife will not break out in the future?"
Shao Shude suddenly thought that the descendants of the Yaoluo Ge family of the Uighur royal family came from Ganzhou. Although they were massacred by Zhou Yiyan, they did not survive. There are still dozens of men and women, and most of them are now in Anyi.
There is another person accompanying her, the cuckoo girl raised by the Pei family.
But this is all for the future. He has no intention of fighting the Gaochang Uighurs for the time being. Consolidating the northern grasslands and expanding his influence is the right way.
"Let's go, I want to go and see Nuozhen Water." Shao Shude stood up and stretched out his hands. Pei and Du stepped forward together, ready to change Shao Shude's clothes.
Chen Cheng resigned.
After going outside the temple, it was noon, the sun was extremely dim, and the wind was freezing in the surrounding fields.
The civil and military officials were busy writing documents, the concubines in the harem were laughing at Yan Yan, and the princes and princesses were fighting and making fun of each other. Chen Cheng had made a mistake. King Xia had not yet proclaimed himself emperor.
However, he really looks like the emperor and saint since the Northern Dynasties!
Now I am still living in the palace. If I patrol the grassland and set up a golden tent on the grassland in the future, the scene will be really...
…
It snowed heavily again in Yuanyuquan.
Yang Yue was sitting in the hall, warming herself by the fire and waiting for news.
He has been in a state of excitement these days.
Since thousands of Tatars surrendered that day, people have come to surrender one after another in the past few days. The total number has reached 13,000 to 4,000, mostly strong and strong, but there are also old, weak, women and children.
After interrogation, it was learned that the Tatars who moved westward did encounter a counterattack by the Uighurs.
Originally, the Uighurs moved westward, leaving the Mobei and Monan grasslands, and everyone was very happy. After being bullied by the Khitans, some of the Tatar tribes fled north, some went south, and most of them moved westward, just to fill the vacancy left by the Uighurs.
Pasture.
But why are you back again? This is so sudden!
If you are not strong, who can you blame? You will be bullied wherever you go. They were invaded by the Khitans in the east, and attacked by the Uighurs in the west. The Tatars are shameless and disunified, so you can't blame anyone.
"General Yang, Murong Qianhu, and Zhang Qianhu are here." Zhuang Langshen, the inspection envoy of Yuan Yuquan, walked in and reported like a subordinate.
Yang Yue frowned when he heard the official title "Qianhu".
The Xia King's servants, tribes, and non-official armies had the equipment and equipment that only the official army had, and they also trained very frequently.
However, Yang Yue looked down on the complex origins of these ingredients, which were filled with private soldiers from Dangxiang, Uighur, Tuyuhun, Tubo and other tribes.
Low-level warfare requires strict discipline, sufficient military pay, sophisticated equipment, and qualified training. Anyone can do this. But if you want to transform into a strong army, you must do something that others cannot do.
In the past, when he was in Fanyang, Anlu Mountain, he recruited Shiwei and Luofan soldiers, trained them according to Chinese methods, and equipped them with all the equipment and armor. They were stronger than the mainland soldiers with the same equipment and equipment sent to him from Henan and Guanzhong for garrison duty.
But the Han soldiers who have been at the border fortress all year round are not afraid of these Tibetan people because they have fought frequently, have seen blood, and are rich in experience.
Yang Yue doubted that these so-called bodyguards did not possess the two qualities of courage and experience.
"Meet the envoy Yang Jun." Murong Fu and Zhang Huaiding saluted together, their attitudes were neither cold nor hot, just right.
Yang Yue is a veteran with outstanding achievements, so they must be respectful.
However, they are the personal bodyguards of the King and should not have too much contact with outsiders, so they must keep a certain distance.
How to grasp the degree is also a science.
"The king has sent you two here, what are your orders?" Yang Yue stood up and returned the salute and asked.
"The king said that it is 1,500 miles from the Yuquan to the Uighur tooth tent. It may not be safe to attack at such a distance. If Yang Jun insists, the king will not stop him, and he will order the two of us to lead three thousand guards and soldiers.
"We have eight hundred silver-armed horses to listen to General Yang's orders and go out together." Murong Fu said: "Your Majesty has repeatedly warned that Yang Jun should weigh carefully and there is no need to take this risk."
Go north from Da'an County (Xishoujiang City) in Fengzhou, exit the fortress via Gaoque, and go northwest for three hundred miles to Yuanyuquan, which is also the location of the Yazhang of Dangxiangzhuanglang tribe behind the mountain. From Yuanyuquan, go northwest for a while
Thousands and five hundred miles away, it was the location of the former Uighur tooth tent, which was roughly the Orkhon River Basin and the eastern section of Hangai Shandong in later generations.
Three thousand miles northwest of the Uighur Yazhang is Xigasi, which is roughly in the northern border of Tangnu Uliang Sea or Siberia.
The Yygas people went to the Uyghur Palace, a distance of three thousand miles. If they marched normally, it would take a total of forty days, which means they walked about seventy-five miles a day. They carried a large amount of baggage, cattle and sheep, and old and weak women and children to help.
If you only send out elite soldiers, carry the necessary horses and water, and go on a long-distance attack, it doesn't need to be that long, but it is a kind of risk.
"I've weighed it up and given it a try." Yang Yue said: "With the vengeful Tatars leading the way, what else is there to say? The Uighurs' home base is still in Xizhou, how many people can be put in Heichengzi? It's just soldiers.
Some are missing. We have to touch several places and there are not enough people along the way."
"There will be no more people." Murong Fu shook his head and said: "The king thinks that there is no point in attacking the Uighur tent."
Yang Yue snorted coldly.
"The king wants to take over the pastures, cattle, sheep, and Dingkou of the Yinshan Tatars and other White Tatar tribes to expand their power outwards. In the future, the Baidaochuan Qibi tribe and the Shannan Geshu tribe will most likely move north and eastward. Mula
It’s hard to say how talented the Wang family is in Shanzang. They might have to move.” Yang Yue smiled and said: “The spirit is too small! She is so coquettish that she looks like a woman. I will give you the big one for your Majesty.”
Murong Fu and Zhang Huaiding looked at each other in silence.
"Send your people back immediately and tell the king that I don't want much else. Give me the few thousand horses from Xu Hao of the Tielin Army." Yang Yue said again.
He did not mention the iron cavalry, silver spears, golden swords, or black troops, because quite a few of them had already gone straight to the Yinshan Tatar tents and raided their lairs.
