"Yan Wanshi, how do you raise horses?" Zhao Si rode on the horse and asked Bo Ji Changkong and Yan Wanshi beside him.
Yan Wanshi didn't understand for a moment, so Boji Changkong kicked him and translated the words.
Yan Wanshi thought for a while, opened his mouth and said an awkward "official", and then got stuck.
"Forget it, you should speak in Tatar. You have only taken a crash course in literacy for a few days, and you still need to continue to work hard. Changkong, translate for him."
"Here!"
Yan Wanshi said slowly: "We start training the horses on the grassland about a year after they are born. It takes about three years of training. The horses trained according to our methods are very obedient and orderly.
Even if hundreds of horses are gathered together, they will not bite or bark. Even if the owner dismounts, they can still be driven and will not run away."
Zhao Si listened quietly. The method of raising horses on the Mobei grassland was summarized and passed down from generation to generation by the Huns, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, Tiele and Uighurs. It is effective.
Finally, it was carried forward in the hands of the Tatars and Mongols.
"When we raise horses, we usually don't feed them any fodder during the day and start grazing them at night. We observe the changes in the grass on the original land, graze them in the wild, and then saddle up and ride them again at dawn. When we go on an expedition, each of us has several horses.
, take turns riding every day, so the horses don’t get tired.”
"I see that your car is a little different from ours." Zhao Si asked again.
"When we return to the official's house, our Tatars' carts are also pulled by oxen. The young grandfather said that the biggest king he had ever seen used two groups of eleven oxen at the front and rear to pull the cart side by side."
"Haha, how does it compare with my car?" Zhao Si raised his whip and pointed to the rear.
Far behind, a huge car was moving slowly.
Seen from a distance, it is a huge tent, mounted on a wooden cart with twenty-four tall wheels. It has three floors, and the lower two floors are wooden fences and wooden sheds, which are specially used by the sergeants who are guarding and guarding.
On the top floor, a circular tent stood there, which was more than enough for a dozen people to sit around.
Six rows in front and behind, a total of thirty-six cows pulled this huge cart forward slowly.
"There is absolutely no comparison! One is a carriage and this one is a pulled city." Yan Wanshi replied honestly.
"Gewuyuan designed a carriage for me, which is a moving city. There are thirty-six sets of high wheels, divided into three levels, and need to be pulled by one hundred and twenty oxen. It's a pity that I came in a hurry this time, and the carriage couldn't make it in time.
Transport it to Juyanhai for assembly. I will definitely bring it with me when I come to Mobei for hunting next time."
"Your Majesty, please allow me to drive your Majesty to check in." Yan Wanshi said respectfully.
While Boji Changkong was translating, he couldn't help but look at his friend, why is this guy so good at talking?
"Okay! Haha! Then the monarch and his ministers have made an agreement!" Zhao Si responded cheerfully.
Changsun Moli and Yu Wenxuzhong rode over and ran over. Their eyes turned on the faces of Yan Wanshi and Boji Changkong, smiled, and nodded in greeting.
Yan and Bo Ji had been retinues for a while. Knowing that the two gentlemen had something important to report, they quickly drove away some distance.
"Your Majesty, we have determined the location of the alliance between Hu'erzhahusi and Bietiebeg tribe's Hezheer Khan." Yu Wenxuzhong reported.
He and Tan Shiji have officially become Changsun Moli's deputies.
Tan Shiji assisted the eldest Sun Moli in handling confidential documents for Zhao Si and carried out propaganda; Yu Wenxuzhong assisted the eldest Sun Moli in analyzing intelligence and making suggestions for Zhao Si.
"Don't stick to He Zhierhan from the Begging Department? Who is this?" Zhao Si asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, the Nianbage Tribe, also known as the Naiman Tribe, is actually an alliance of more than a dozen tribes. The most powerful is the Bietieqi Tribe, and the second largest is the Guchuwuti Tribe." Yu Wenxuzhong replied.
.
Oh, I see, Zhao seemed to understand.
Small tribes are attached to the big tribes, and the big tribes are attached to the larger tribes. Then these backbone tribes form an alliance and elect the most powerful tribal leader to be the co-leader. They advance and retreat together with the outside world. This is the case in the Mobei Grassland.
It's the norm.
"You guys keep talking."
"It's Your Majesty."
Yu Wenxu responded and continued talking about the military situation.
"Your Majesty, Malisitai, who has surrendered, provided important news a few days ago. Albarihuan, the chief of the Albati tribe, a large tribe to which the Dharantaba tribe is attached, passed by nearby fifteen days ago and came to Dharantaba.
The army asked for supplies and cavalry. Marisitai provided a group of cattle and sheep, as well as 300 cavalry."
"Marisitai talked with Albarihuan's subordinates who came to report the news. He said that Albarihuan was accompanying Ku'erza Hussi to handle a big event. At that time, the subordinate accidentally mentioned that Ku'er Zahusi had brought three people with him.
Thousands of people, Albari Huan led a thousand people, and Tubei Maha, the chief of the Tubewud tribe, led a thousand people and headed west together."
Zhao Si nodded, "This is normal. Hu'er Zahusi went to join the alliance, not to kill people. He brought five thousand people with him, which is a strong enough momentum. The detective horse we sent to confirm the news is back?"
Yu Wenxuzhong replied quickly.
"Yes. Your Majesty's guess is correct. Suddenly Zahussi went to the place where he and the Naiman tribe were meeting, on the shore of the Ma Chuhun Sea between the Zabuhan River and the Huohei Water. Our scouting horse took Malisitai's
As a token, I met the three hundred cavalrymen from the Dalandaba tribe. They were sure that Huerzahusi was in alliance with the Hezheer Khan of the Naiman tribe's Bitieqi tribe."
"The three hundred cavalrymen also said that there are rumors that Ku'er Zahusi asked Hezhi'er Khan to marry his sister to him. But Ku'er Zahusi has married more than a dozen wives from different tribes in the past two years, and Hezhi'er Khan
I felt a little disgusted, so I didn’t agree."
Zhao Si was delighted, "In order to gather strength and win over allies, Hu'er Zahusi used himself as a bargaining chip to marry wives everywhere. He went a little too hard. He has more than a dozen wives..."
Having said this, he suddenly raised his head and saw Changsun Moli looking at him thoughtfully.
The two have been working together for many years and have long had a good understanding. Zhao Si could see what Changsun Moli was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "Not only do I want to bring back a few concubines, but you and my staff also have Gao Shixuan, Wang Shunchen, Hu Luxiong, and Yang Weizhong."
, Zhe Yanzhi, every one of the generals accompanying Yang Zongmin will marry one or two back."
The eldest grandson, Moli, also laughed: "I'm afraid I'm not willing to do it either. I'm not young anymore, and my children are all grown up, so I don't want to bother anymore."
"Then recruit sons-in-law and marry sons-in-law. Everyone must contribute to the Song Dynasty and donate one person. If you can't do it yourself, your children will take the lead."
Zhao Si laughed loudly.
Yu Wenxuzhong listened nonchalantly from the side. After the two of them finished their joke, he continued to ask: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Zhao Si turned his head and asked deliberately: "Shutong, what do you think we should do?"
"Kurzha Husi of the Kele tribe and Hezhier Khan of the Naiman tribe are both at the shore of Machu Hunhai. They only have 5,000 people at most. We have 30,000 regular soldiers, plus 60,000 auxiliary soldiers. Thunderbolt
With one blow, they will be defeated. As long as they are captured, they can be forced to surrender."
After listening to Yu Wenxuzhong's talk, Zhao Si nodded, "This idea is not bad, but in my opinion, it is not the best. On the grassland, strength is respected, why can Hu'er Zahusi still be alive and kicking?
, Marrying wives everywhere to gain allies?”
Yu Wenxuzhong's eyes lit up, "I heard what Marisitai said, because when Magus rebelled against the Liao Dynasty, he was led by soldiers and horses from the three tribes of Zhu Lijin, Dong Eyite, and Saheyi. The main force was from Kelieyiti.
The loss of soldiers and horses was very small, including the obedient Tubewu Ti and Alba Ti troops, and they did not lose much."
Zhao Si nodded.
"That's right! So Mogusi was captured by the Tatar people and handed over to the Khitan people for execution. His son Hu'erzahusi quickly jumped out and raised his arms. Immediately more than a dozen tribes sent women to him.
He became his wife and formed an alliance. Why? Because the strength of the Kelie tribe has not been reduced and it is still one of the best forces among the tribes of the fortune tellers, so everyone wants to betray him."
Yu Wenxuzhong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, then we will..."
The riding whip in Zhao Si's hand suddenly swung down, as if splitting the Yanran Mountain in front of him.
"The Yuerti (territory) of Huerzhahusi is located on the Hala and Lin rivers on the other side of the Yanran Mountains. From there to the Orhan River and the Tuwuci River, it is the most fertile area in the Yanran Mountains, and it is also the most fertile area in the Yanran Mountains.
The Mobei grassland is the seat of the Khan's court of all dynasties. Now I have taken a fancy to this geomantic treasure land! Pass the order!"
"Hu Lüxiong led 10,000 cavalry, crossed the Yanran Mountain, and attacked the banks of the Hala and Lin Rivers. The rest of the main force immediately turned southeast, bypassed the Yanran Mountain, and attacked Kelie between the Orhan River and the Twuci River.
The main force of the department."
"Here!"
