That night, I and a few warriors secretly sneaked into the Liangshan garrison.
They walked for more than ten miles and saw Liangshan's cavalry again. It was only late at night and the sky was dark, so Liangshan's cavalry did not notice them.
It seems that these are still the same group of people I saw during the day, I Bahai said secretly.
An Bahai and others went around here, and they continued to move forward. After walking for a while, they discovered a large number of Han cavalry. There were tens of thousands of Han cavalry. Some were patrolling nearby, and some seemed to be in the vicinity.
Resting there, I was shocked.
Anbahai and others kept moving forward like this. After walking for more than two hours, they saw several tents. There were firelights at the entrances of the tents, and occasionally they could hear voices.
They continued to move forward, and it was already past midnight. When they climbed over a high slope, they suddenly saw a dense group of tents below. At a glance, the number of tents was almost over 10,000. By this time, including my baby
Everyone inside stayed there. It was their first time to see such a large group of tents. The Qiyan Department has a large population and a large number of tents. However, the Qiyan Department is spread over a wide area. There have never been so many tents gathered together.
phenomenon together
Next to "Sir," a beggar warrior made a trembling voice.
"Keep going, I'm afraid there will be many more of them," I said through gritted teeth.
He led his warriors to move forward. When it was almost dawn, they discovered a huge group of tents. It seemed that the number of tents here was probably over 10,000.
The grassland is huge, and there are only a few of them walking on the grassland. Although there are many soldiers patrolling Liangshan, they were not found until dawn.
At dawn, they had arrived at an open space in the northeast of the station. Liangshan's cavalry was still galloping in the distance. I Bahai and others squatted behind a high slope. They waited until the cavalry left before they started.
Run away step by step
"Sir, what should we do now?" asked a warrior
"So many Han people have come to the grassland, we must convey this news back," said Anbahai
"But our horses are all in the west. If we just walk, we don't know when we can go back," said a warrior
"We can seize the horse." Another warrior next to him said with a determined expression.
"It's too difficult to seize horses. The Han army can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands. How can a few of us seize horses?" I Bahai shook his head and said.
Moreover, he felt that this place was still within the scope of Liangshan. If he captured the horse here, Liangshan would probably know about it soon. They would be easily discovered by others on horseback, and they would be able to get out of here smoothly if they walked.
"We will walk north for two or three days, and we will eventually be able to get out. After that, we should be able to meet some small tribes or find some wild horses. Then we will go back," said Naba.
Now I Bahai led these warriors to the north. They did not leave the Liangshan garrison until three days later. By the time they arrived, the number of Liangshan cavalry had been significantly reduced. After walking for another two days, they met on the road.
Arriving at a small tribe, Anbahai exchanged the golden sword he carried with him for several batches of war horses, and then led his warriors towards Chi Chengruo in the direction of the Qiyan tribe.
After another three days and two nights, they finally returned to the grassland where the Qiyan tribe’s king’s tent was located.
My baby looked exhausted. He fell off his horse and strode towards the king's tent.
"Sir, are you back?" When he arrived at the king's tent, the guards greeted him one after another.
"I want to see Dahan," my baby said in a hoarse voice.
When Anba'i was put in, Hebul Khan was shocked when he saw Anba's appearance, and said: "Iba, how did you become like this?"
My baby breathed heavily for a while, and then he felt that his fatigue was a little relieved. He said loudly: "Brother, something is wrong."
Hebul Khan frowned and said, "I asked you to investigate the situation of the Han people. Did you find anything bad?"
My baby nodded and said: "Brother, things are very bad. The Han people sent countless people to the grassland."
Hebuli Khan was stunned and said: "Countless people? How many people? One hundred thousand people?"
I Bahai smiled bitterly and said: "One hundred thousand? No, far more than one hundred thousand. I'm afraid there are two hundred thousand, or three hundred thousand, or more. Some of them are cavalry, and some seem to be just ordinary Han people. They came to the grassland,
I'm afraid they are going to fight a long war with us. I saw them setting up camp there, and their tents are everywhere."
Hebul Khan looked to the south with a surprised expression on his face and said: "How could the Han people send so many people to the grassland? How can they survive on the grassland with hundreds of thousands of people?"
There are hundreds of thousands of people, and the food they need for life is extremely large. The grasslands are barren and it is difficult to supply so many people living on the grasslands. The largest tribe only has 200,000 people. 100,000 is already a large tribe. Most tribes only have a few hundred people.
People or dozens of people, those tribes live on the grass, and many people will starve to death every winter. Even a large tribe like the Qiyan tribe will starve to death every year. If there are really hundreds of thousands of Han people who have come to the grassland
, then they must be carrying countless amounts of food
Although Hebul Khan knew that the Han people were wealthy, it was difficult for him to accept that the Han people could provide so much food at once.
"Brother, the number of Han people is indeed very large. I think it is possible that there are four to five million. We cannot let them exist in the south of us, otherwise they will threaten us in the future," Anba said.
"You are right." Hebul Khan nodded and said
"Then what should we do now?" Iba asked.
"Humph, we Mongolians are invincible on the grassland. Back then, the Khitans came to the grassland. They wanted to conquer us, but they failed. Two years ago, the Jurchens also came to the grassland. They also wanted to conquer us.
Conquer us, but they can't do it. This time, the humble Han people have come to the grassland, and they are no match for us." Hebu Lehan snorted coldly and said
"How should we destroy them?" An Ba'er asked.
"We have already mobilized our tribesmen and prepared to take them south. Now, we just happened to take these tribesmen to wipe out the Han people in the grassland first. If you really think what you said, hundreds of thousands of people came to the grassland, then they must have brought countless
After we eliminate them and we get their food, then we will have food for the next year
We don’t have to go hungry, not for a year, but for the next few years. The food of the Han people can be stored for a long time, enough to be stored forever. Moreover, with the weapons of the Han people and the wealth they carry, our strength will also increase.
It will be greatly strengthened. Let the tribesmen get up immediately, and we will go south immediately," Hebul Khan said fiercely.
"Go south immediately?" I Bahai said in disbelief.
"Yes, go south immediately. The Han people have just arrived on the grassland. They haven't established themselves here yet. They haven't adapted to the grassland yet. Now is the best time to go south," Hebulehan said coldly.
My baby immediately carried out Hebul Khan’s order.
In the dark of night, the men from the begging department began to gather. For a moment, the entire begging department was noisy, with people shouting and horses braying everywhere.
****
At this moment, Cheng Guan is leading a dozen cavalrymen to the east of the Qiyan Department to investigate the vast grassland area. Previously, Ba Hai and others entered Liangshan's station, but Liangshan did not find them. At this moment, the Qiyan Department did not find Cheng Guan and others either.
Hearing the noisy noises of the Qiyan Department from a distance, Cheng Guan hurriedly led people to investigate quietly. He immediately knew that something was wrong with the situation in front of him.
"Hurry back and report the movements of the Qiyan Department to Commander Hu, so that Commander Hu can be on guard," Cheng Guan shouted hurriedly.
At present, several scouts are heading south, and Chengguan is still here to observe the situation of the Qiyan tribe.
The Mongols were already prepared to invade south. After receiving the order, the Mongols climbed out of bed one after another and headed towards the grassland where the royal tent was located.
The Qiyan tribe includes many large and small tribes, and these countless small and large tribes all came here together under the organization of their leaders. At this time, Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation, had not yet been born, and the Mongols had not yet developed such a leader as a captain of ten thousand or a thousand.
According to the military system, tribes of different sizes are not subordinate to each other. They all only obey the orders of Hebul Khan.
Although the Mongols' personal force is good, they do not have a systematic military system, so their teams also appear to be chaotic.
The weapons in the hands of the Mongols are also very crude.
Of the 100,000 men, only 30,000 have iron knives in their hands, and the rest have no decent iron weapons at all.
Historically, until Genghis Khan unified the grasslands, many Mongolians did not have decent weapons in their hands, let alone now? Historical data records that when Genghis Khan was fighting in all directions, not one of his 200,000 cavalry had an iron helmet on his head. For the Central Plains people, this
Extremely common things were extremely luxurious things for them. At that time, many people held wooden spears in their hands. It was not until after the fall of the Jin Kingdom that everyone in the army under Genghis Khan had iron swords.
At this moment, there are nearly 50,000 men carrying bows and arrows on their backs, but most of the bows and arrows are bone arrowheads, and iron arrowheads are also a luxury item for them.
Although the weapons were crude, these Mongolian men all had crazy expressions on their faces, and their eyes seemed to be burning with flames. Countless Mongolian men were howling loudly, and their hearts were extremely excited.
They all know that there is a Han army in the south. They will use their own bravery to destroy the Han tribe. Then they will go south into the Liao territory and establish the Mongolian kingdom.
