Helin was the site of the former sweat tent of the Tuxietu tribe, located near the source of the Aluhun River.
The Arunhun River is also the largest river in Mobei, with many tributaries, and finally flows into the North Sea from south to north. The Arunhun River Basin is also the most abundant aquatic plant and the most suitable place for survival in the entire Mobei.
At this time, Huang De led the army to Helin. The army built a camp along the river. From a distance, the tents stretched to the sky. Even when the Tu Xie Tu tribe was at its strongest, the Khan tents had never reached such a scale.
A small Chechen tribe here had already migrated downstream before the army arrived, and almost the entire Chechen tribe was now gathering towards the Khan tent.
Obviously Yatov also knew that with the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry in the Ming army and the Tuxie Tubu's familiarity with this area, if the tribes continued to disperse their herds in various places, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
At this time, in the commander's tent, the leaders of the Tumote Department and a dozen promoted officers of the Tuxie Tu Department all had green eyes and anxious faces.
"General, it's better to order an attack quickly. The Chechen ministries are gathering now. It's a good time to attack. Otherwise, we will be in trouble when they gather together."
"Yes, General, time waits for no one!"
Looking at those wolf-like eyes, the Ming army generals opposite had expressions of contempt and disdain.
They naturally understood that these guys were eager to seek war and were not really loyal to the Ming Dynasty and wanted to serve.
Instead, they wanted to take advantage of the Chechen tribe's migration to rob women, children, cattle, sheep, and horses.
"The commander has made his own decision on this matter. You don't need to worry about it. Our army has traveled a long distance and is already exhausted. We must rest for a while."
Huang Degong waved his hand to stop the noise of these Mongolians. His purpose of coming this time was very clear, which was to completely conquer the two tribes in Mobei, not to eliminate each other and kill people and rob cattle and sheep.
Now while the opponent is still gathering, the cavalry suddenly rushes over. It can indeed kill everyone, but what's the use?
He was sure that when the time came, those real Mongolian men would definitely escape alone, leaving behind a bunch of old, weak, women, children, cattle, sheep and horses. Not only would manpower and energy be wasted to look after them, but some food might also be wasted.
So it is better to wait for the opponent to gather together, and then the army directly kills them, and completes the victory in one battle, just like it was done in Guihua City, which can not only retain the population and livestock of the Chechen tribe to the greatest extent, but also conquer it as quickly and easily as possible
The entire Chechnya department.
Otherwise, if he goes on a killing spree and kills the Chechen tribe, his strength will be greatly reduced, he will lose confidence, and he will flee directly north, that will be a big trouble.
Having dealt with the Mongols for so long, Huang Degong already had a clear understanding of their general habits.
As long as they see that there is hope for negotiation, they will not easily abandon their habitat and escape, thinking that the desperate posture of the whole clan will make the other party worry and express their surrender. Finally, an alliance will be reached and the two sides will end the war.
But this trick was useful for other Mongolian tribes, and it was also useful for other Han dynasties, but it was a joke for the current Ming Dynasty. The current Ming Dynasty does not need superficial surrender, let alone be afraid of the casualties of soldiers, and does not dare to fight bloody battles.
The intimidation of the general Huang Degong was still huge. After speaking, the leaders of the Tumut tribe, although their faces were extremely disappointed, no one dared to say anything anymore.
The promoted officers of the Tuxie Tubu did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. They were still looking forward to making meritorious service when the time came. They would wait for Huang Degong to submit a request for merit, and then become a lord. Not to mention that their relatives would also return the favor.
In the hands of the Monan Ming Army.
As soon as Huang Degong announced that the meeting was adjourned, the Chechen envoy came outside the camp to ask for a meeting. After the envoy was brought into the commander's tent, he was secretly shocked.
Although it has long been speculated that the Tuxie Tu tribe may have defected to the Ming Dynasty, and then led the Ming army to conquer Mobei thousands of miles away.
But after all, it was just a guess. Now looking at the Ming army generals in charge, it was completely confirmed.
Immediately, I was filled with anger. They were both Mongolians, and the Tuxietu tribe had just surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. They actually brought the Han people all the way to attack their Chechen tribe. They were simply worse than animals.
"Dear General of the Ming Dynasty, I, Herut, am the envoy of the Chechen tribe. This time I came here on the order of my Yatov Khan to meet with the commander-in-chief of your army and the Agula Khan of the Tushetu tribe."
This envoy's name was Herut. He only glanced at the general situation in the tent, suppressed the anger in his heart, and spoke respectfully to Huang Degong who was in charge.
Obviously, I want to test first what is the relationship between Tuxie Tubu and Ming Dynasty.
Because he was outside just now, he made a general observation and found that the Ming army and the Tuxie Tubu each accounted for half of this team. It was really weird.
"This is the Great General of Dingguo of our Ming Dynasty, Uncle Jingnan! As for the Agula Khan you mentioned, he is currently enjoying his blessings in the capital of our Ming Dynasty!"
A colonel next to him introduced, with a sneer on his lips at the end.
Herut was suddenly shocked and immediately understood that the Tuxie Tu tribe might not have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, but was directly eliminated and annexed by the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, Agula would not be able to safely let the warriors from the 20,000 tribes fight together with the Ming army.
Thinking of this, he also understood that the other party might be coming with bad intentions this time, so he quickly saluted Huang Degong again, and his tone became more respectful.
"Dear General, I don't know what your army is talking about coming all the way here?
"This general, I am here to conquer your Chechen tribe under the order of His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
Huang Degong said coldly, his tone as calm as those 70,000 to 80,000 people in Chechnya, no different from cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that the other party was really here to conquer them, Herut's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said: "Dear general, my Chechen tribe has admired the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and has never invaded you Han people. I don't know why your emperor
Are you going to conquer our Chechen tribe for no reason?"
It is obvious that Herut not only understands Chinese, but also understands the cultural traditions of the Han people. He knows that the Han people always pay attention to teachers and will not beat others for no reason.
"Hmph! For no reason?"
"The battle between our Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens in the Liaohe area two years ago, did you Chechen tribe also participate in it? Since your Chechen tribe chose to help the tyrants and follow the Jurchens to invade our Ming Dynasty, you should have expected the ending today." Huang Degong
He snorted coldly.
"General, this is a misunderstanding. Our Chechen Ministry had no choice but to do so. Now my Great Khan has long regretted it and has drawn a clear line with the Jurchens. Our Chechen Ministry is willing to offer 5,000 cattle, sheep and horses to resolve this misunderstanding, and
I promise not to follow the Jurchens south again in the future, I wonder what the general’s intention is?”
"Ha ha!"
A burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the tent.
Even Huang Gongde couldn't help but chuckle: "Herut, General, I led an army of 100,000 people and traveled thousands of miles to the Yin Mountains and crossed the Gobi. Do you think it's just for 5,000 cattle and sheep?"
