Chapter 45 Wooing Xianbei

"Your Excellency won't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, right?"

Tian Yu led 100 horsemen to the north, crossed the Great Wall from the north of Liaodong Wuxi, ran across the grassland and crossed the snow, and stepped on the entire Xianbei tribe to visit the tribe of Suli when they sang and danced to worship their ancestors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Tian Yu is young, and Su Li is also young. One is the young and unknown leader of the water village in the Han region, and the other is the adult of the 10,000-person tribe in Mobei, Su Li looked at this young man who claimed to be a cronie of Yanbei, and he was not convinced, so he was also absent-minded when he heard what Tian Yu said.

Ancestor worship at the beginning of the year is a big event for their tribe, not to mention that for Xianbei, they never use soldiers in the spring, especially against the Han people in Sene, they never fight in the spring.

What's more, Sully has her own worries.

"I understand what you say. But if you want me to send troops, 123,000 or even more, it's all negotiable. Since Tian Yu said that he was a subordinate of Yanbei, Su Li naturally had no reason to be untreated, the tribe had flourished in recent years, and last spring he even took advantage of the ambush of two thousand Han soldiers to catch him off guard with the Xianbei tribe in the east. Su Li knew that even if he had his own talents, Yan Bei's help was indispensable, so he said to Tian Yu with a smile: "General Yan is my friend, give me his warrant...... I will produce as many people as I want. ”

"There is no warrant." Tian Yu wondered in his heart, how could this Xianbei adult's brain turn so strangely, could he still go all the way to the hinterland of Xianbei to deceive him? Right now, Yanbei is fighting in the Central Plains, where is the warrant for him? Tian Yu said patiently: "The general is fighting in the Central Plains, and now Liaodong is in crisis, and I am here to borrow troops from Your Excellency on the order of Liaodong Taishou. ”

Don't have a warrant?

Su Li made a mistake in his heart, and now when Yanbei is in danger, he naturally wants to send troops to rescue Liaodong, even if it is not for the alliance they made a long time ago, even if it is just for the sake of bartering in the Saiwai and Sai Nei over the years so that his soldiers do not have to die in the city for food, he will also send troops to rescue Yanbei.

But he had to figure out who exactly he was fighting for!

The person who came here is called Tian Yu, and he is neither Ma An who is in charge of Yanbei Trade City, nor is he the Lu Yi and Zhang Jaw who he saw in the early years, nor is he the frustrated professor who personally met him as an envoy back then...... Sully didn't trust him.

What's more, several Taishou on the border of the Han land, whether it is Gongsun Du or Yanbei, have something to do with him. And now Tian Yu is holding the handwritten letter of frustration to let himself attack Xuansu County behind Gongsun Du's ass, and the general who leads the troops in Xuansu County is Zhang Jaw.

Now that Yanbei is not here, he just said that he had taken refuge in Gongsun Du and wanted to attack Liaodong County, Yanbei's territory. If he sent troops to fight Zhang Jaw, what if he was frustrated and took Liaodong County to rebel against Yanbei? Who can guarantee that in the future the northern part of the Han Empire will remain as peaceful as it was when Yan was in power, and that grain and utensils will be traded with cheap furs and livestock for a long time?

Su Li did not trust these generals under Yanbei's command, Taishou, because these Han Chinese treated them in a standard way of treating foreigners, but Yanbei was different. Yanbei treats him as if it were like ...... It's like another Han Taishou.

So among the Han people, he only trusted Yanbei.

"If there is no warrant from General Yan, I'm afraid I can't hand over my soldiers and horses to you to lead the attack on Xuansu County." Although Su Li rejected Tian Yu's plan to borrow troops from him to attack Xuansu County, he was also worried that Liaodong County would really be attacked by the enemy, so he continued: "But I will personally lead the troops to Gaoxian County in the west of Xuansu, if things are as you say, Gongsun Du wants to attack Liaodong, I will cut off his retreat." If it's your frustration, it's too guarded and has two ambitions...... I will attack Xiangping for General Yan, I say so, can you understand? ”

Tian Yu was silent and stared at Su Li with his eyes and thought about it, if Xianbei rode into Gaoxian County, he would indeed be able to threaten Xuansu County and Xiangping County at the same time...... However, he was not worried that Su Li wanted to take this opportunity to seize Liaodong County, to be honest, the Xianbei cavalry had a strong ability to plunder the county, but it was only able to run rampant between the countryside, and they had no way to face the city a few feet high.

"How much are you willing to send?"

"Three thousand, three thousand Xianbei rides. Although there are already more warriors in our department. In the past few years of development, Su Li has ruled more than a dozen small tribes in the lower reaches of Raole Water, and the warriors of each tribe have exceeded 6,000, becoming a force that can be counted in the eastern part of Xianbei, but he is obviously unable to mobilize all the warriors to fight for the Han people, he said: "The central Xianbei Kebineng is moving towards domination in the desert, and the Micah in the east already has a lot of strength, and I need to leave the warriors to guard against them...... When will the general be able to return it? ”

"I should be able to come back before next spring and summer." Tian Yu shook his head, he hadn't seen Yanbei for a long time, last spring the brigade came out of Liaodong, no one thought that this battle could be fought for so long, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, I think this war that divides the world is about to end, right? Tian Yu sighed: "This is a protracted war. ”

Su Li thought that as a people on horseback, they never dared to imagine what it was like to fight a war for more than a year. Because in the history of the Xianbei people's conquest, a war usually ends in three to five months, and no matter whether they win or lose, there is rarely the possibility of completely annihilating the enemy army or being completely annihilated by the enemy...... Their strategic guiding ideology is to rob people and property, and they never fight to kill the enemy, as the Han people do.

The desert is not like Sene, where the Han people don't have much to do with them except for war. But the Xianbei people are different, starvation, sickness, cold, poverty, and even because of hunger, sickness, and poverty, they can decide whether a battle will be lost, and then the tribe is separated, and the people do not exist.

"The general will be proud of you, and when he is out on a campaign, the tribe, no, the county is governed by you in good order, peace, and tranquility...... I envy you. Although Su Li did not hand over the command of the soldiers and horses to Tian Yu, but in the end he agreed to send troops, Tian Yu spoke in a relaxed tone, and even with Su Li did not feel depressed, he took a sip of the bronze wine vessel from the Han land, and thought with a smile on the corner of his mouth without thinking of anything, and then said to Tian Yu: "When the general comes back, I hope to be able to defeat Micah with the help of his strength and drive him away from the upper reaches of Raole Water, I can call you the country, right, you Han people are used to calling words instead of names...... Kokurang, do you think the general will agree to help me? ”

Su Li always remembered that when he first saw Yan Bei, he took Yan Bei to walk among the tribes, and although Yan Bei's eyes were clear, the contempt in his eyes was very obvious. At that time, Yanbei said that there was no commercial market or liquor store in the tribe. Later, Yanbei, who had left the tribe, ruled Liaodong County, and then asked the henchman named Ma An to bring a merchant market and a wine store to his tribe.

At the time, he didn't know what it would mean to set aside a place for the merchants to buy and sell. Then the lower reaches of Raole Water underwent a drastic change, and those Han merchants came out of Liaodong County with Han knick-knacks and bought and sold them in his tribe. Bring the exquisite daily necessities of the Han people, and take away the furs and excess livestock of the Xianbei people. The surrounding tribes, large and small, will send riders to his tribe every season to buy utensils, and the downstream of Raole Water is becoming more and more lively, and there are more and more Xianbei people coming and going.

Even the surrounding tribes have Xianbei merchants who specialize in buying and trading for their own tribes. In this way, he befriended more tribal leaders, and rally these small tribal leaders around him, like the once Xianbei hero Tan Shi Huai, and they discussed together, whether it was war, peace, horse farms, or commercial markets.

And Yan Bei told him that he didn't have to do anything, just set aside this meadow, which was less than half of the horse farm, and he would be able to take 10% of each barter transaction as his own income.

In one year, in just one year, with the help of Ma An, he counted the goods he had extracted, which was more than the sum of his previous three years of war, robbing the poor peasants in the border counties of Han and robbing the horses of various tribes.

Yanbei is too smart!

So although he didn't know what kind of miracles Yanbei could bring him, he always remembered that Yanbei said that in the future, he would build a city signed by his name on the grassland of the Xianbei people with him, a magnificent Suli city, standing on the grassland!

If Micah is defeated and rules the entire Rao Leshui, there will be more tribes that will belong to him, and he will have tens of thousands of warriors and tens of thousands of Xianbei people...... At that time, he should be able to let Yanbei help him build a city, right?

Surri City!

That's a nice name.

After agreeing on important matters and recruiting reinforcements of 3,000 Xianbei cavalry for the precarious Liaodong County, Tian Yu was very happy, picked up the wine bowl and poured it full of wine, drank it all and said to Su Li: "The general will help you, wait for him to come back." This time, you led the Xianbei people to help us defeat Gongsun Du, and next time, I will ask the general for his life and take the Han people to help you drive away Mika! ”

"Hahaha, yes, I will bring the Xianbei people to help you defeat Gongsun Du, and in the future, you will bring the Han people to help me drive away Mika!" Thinking of being able to drive away Micah with the help of Yanbei's power in the future, Su Li laughed happily, he and Micah have fought more than a dozen times intermittently, in these battles he is getting stronger and stronger, Micah is getting weaker and weaker, but he has never been able to completely defeat the other party, if he can get Yanbei's help, all this will be different, he smiled and drank the wine, pulled Tian Yu to stand up and said with a smile: "Guorang, I think you are my friend like the general, I have some gifts for you." ”
