Nowadays, the remaining Xiongnu troops only number about 70,000 to 80,000. While guarding such a huge territory, they also have to face 100,000 Mobei coalition troops. The pressure can be imagined.
The leaders of each tribe of the Xiongnu believed that they should avoid their sharp edges and temporarily abandon Monan and stick to Hetao. After their strength was restored, they would fight decisively with the three tribes of Mobei and regain Monan.
This is definitely a difficult choice for the Huns, but it is indeed the safest method at present, but it was firmly opposed by Temujin.
Temujin's ambitions were far beyond Yufroko's. He knew that the Yanmen Army, which had recovered three counties and absorbed a population of one million, had long since lost its former strength.
Compared with the Yanmen Army, whose strength is increasing every day, the Xiongnu has fallen behind significantly. If the Xiongnu still wants to take revenge, it will not be possible without some extraordinary means.
If a strong enemy invades and we have to give up our territory, then when will we be able to unify the grasslands? This is what Temujin thought in his mind.
In a world of great strife, if one cannot rise to the challenge, he will surely be lost among all sentient beings.
It is true that the Huns were defeated by the Yanmen Army, but Temujin did not think that those people in Mobei could be compared with the Yanmen Army.
In Temujin's eyes, what if there were one hundred thousand such opponents? They were still just a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, so how could they be the opponents of a group of wolves?
In the end, Temujin overcame all objections and convinced all the tribal leaders, and then summoned 50,000 of the most elite Xiongnu knights to fight against an enemy twice his own size.
This is a war that stakes the hopes of the entire Xiongnu clan. If it fails, the Xiongnu will never be able to make a comeback.
The Huns soldiers who accompanied the army obviously understood this. In order to win, they all risked their lives and fought with the enemy risking their lives. In order to boost morale, even Temujin did not hesitate to go into battle himself.
Although the strength of the Mobei Allied Forces is twice that of the Xiongnu, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is indeed far behind compared to the Xiongnu whose morale has been completely stimulated.
The soldiers are no longer comparable to the Xiongnu, and in terms of generals, the Mobei Allied Forces were completely destroyed.
In terms of commanders, the Huns have Temujin with a base command of 98.
In terms of fierce generals, the Xiongnu also had Zhebie, Tuo Lei and Wokuotai.
Although the Mobei coalition had a large number of people, they had no capable generals, so they were naturally defeated by Temujin.
With 50,000 cavalry, Temujin defeated the 100,000 Mobei coalition troops head-on, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue them northward for three days and three nights.
One hundred thousand coalition troops fled back to Mobei, with less than 3,000 remaining, and the entire army was basically wiped out.
This battle not only greatly enhanced Temujin's reputation on the grassland, but also completely confirmed his position as Shanyu. There was no longer any resistance to Temujin within the Xiongnu, and the various tribes in Mobei did not dare to attack him easily.
Peeping at the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu ushered in a brief period of peace.
Tuo Lei, who was standing next to Temujin, saw that the leaders of various tribes had arrived, so he leaned into Temujin's ear and whispered: "Da Chanyu, everyone has arrived."
Temujin looked at Huchuquan, who was first on the left, and Liu Bao, who was first on the right. He nodded and said calmly: "Now the three tribes in Mobei have suffered heavy losses. It was me, the Huns, who intervened."
It was the best time to conquer Mobei, so Ben Shanyu decided to expand the results and send troops to conquer the three tribes in Mobei."
As soon as Temujin finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations, including excitement, joy, and fear.
The Xiongnu really need to recuperate most now, but the vast majority of people still support Temujin's move to send troops, because they believe that the invincible Chanyu will never fail.
Among the voices of agreement, if only one person raised objections, it would be quite harsh and eye-catching. And no one dared to oppose Temujin at this time except Huchuquan.
"Chan Yu, although the three tribes in Mobei were defeated miserably, their heritage still exists. Although we, the Xiongnu, won a great victory, we suffered heavy casualties. It is not appropriate to raise troops again at this time."
Although Temujin and Huchuquan had differences in their respective positions, they were unanimous in their determination to revitalize the Xiongnu. Therefore, seeing that Temujin was about to make a mistake, Huchuquan did not want to directly stand up to dissuade him.
When Temujin saw that the person who objected was his second brother, he immediately smiled kindly and said: "Second brother is too worried. Now all the elites of the three tribes have been wiped out, and all that is left are remnants of defeated troops. What do we, the Huns, have to fear?"<
/p>
"Yes, my second uncle. I also advise that now is the time when the three tribes are at their weakest. If we miss such a good opportunity, we will regret it when we regain our true strength!"
Liu Bao on the side also tried to persuade him, but Hu Chuquan was very surprised when he saw this.
What kind of ecstasy soup did Temujin pour into Liu Bao to make Liu Bao support him so unsparingly?
"Don't forget, everyone, there are more than just three tribes in Mobei." Huchuquan said coldly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, how could they have forgotten this!
"With the current strength of the Xiongnu, even if we can defeat and occupy the territory of the three tribes, can we possibly defend it? Besides, will other tribes watch the territory of the three tribes be occupied by the Huns?"
There are more than ten large and small tribes in Mobei, with a total population of more than 1.5 million. They are constantly fighting against each other, but no one can do anything about anyone. The overall situation is extremely complicated.
Even during Yuvluo's period, the Xiongnu's comprehensive strength was not as good as that of Mobei, not to mention that it has been greatly weakened now?
Therefore, in Huchuquan's eyes, Temujin's move to attack the three tribes in Mobei was like a snake swallowing an elephant. Naturally, he would end up being either trampled to death or swollen to death. So how could he watch Temujin lead the Huns into the pit? Seeing that Temujin still looked calm and composed, Huchuquan couldn't help but have a suspicion in his heart. Could it be that Temujin was not dazzled by the victory, but had carefully considered it?
Temujin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, and asked: "This Chanyu only said that he would expand the results of the war. When did he say that he would occupy his territory?"
Hu Chuquan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "If we don't occupy the land and conquer the people, how can we expand our strength? If we don't expand our strength, what's the point of this war?"
Hu Chuquan's question revealed the doubts in the hearts of everyone present, and they were also confused by Temujin.
Most people believe that the ultimate goal of sending troops this time is to destroy the three tribes, but now it seems that is not the case.
What does Chanyu want to do?
After seeing the expressions of everyone present, Temujin chuckled and said goodbye to Zhe: "Bring the map up."
In the sight of everyone, Zhebie slowly unfolded a sketch of the power of the grassland.
This sketch was naturally drawn by Temujin, and almost all the forces in the grassland are marked on it. Among them, Xianbei has the largest sphere of influence, followed by Wuhuan. Although the Xiongnu has been severely weakened, it is still in third place.<
