Chapter 263: Cao Yuan Liu praised
The Xiongnu king Qiangqu retreated to the royal court, and as the king of the Xiongnu, he still had a strong military force on the grassland. And the official army led by Qin Feng, after the lone army went deep into the grassland, one lost the other, and the strength was inferior.
On the endless prairie, it was difficult to design the Huns, so Cao Yuan and Liu were at a loss.
Liu Bei fanned his ears and asked the handsome Qin Feng what his plan was to break the enemy.
It seems that Cao, Yuan, and Liu can still rely on Qin Feng, and Qin Feng, who is the first person in the crusading army, can only rely on himself.
Fortunately, Qin Feng had experience in his previous life, and after a slight sigh, he said: "Most of the soldiers and horses that Qiangqu invaded Yanmen were a coalition army made up by tribes. In the previous defeat of Qiangqu, the tribes that followed him suffered great losses, especially the tribes who swore allegiance to him. ”
"The tribes that had a bad relationship with the Hun King before have preserved their strength."
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said, "Zijin, what you mean is to win over the coming tribes and send troops together to deal with Qiangqu." ”
Qin Feng said with a smile: "What Brother Meng De said is very true, and that is it. ”
Yuan Shao heard the words for a while, and said: "Zijin, let the Huns attack their king, is this feasible?" ”
Qin Feng said with a smile: "As long as you give enough benefits, everything is possible." ”
Cao Yuan Liu looked at each other for a while, and at this time, Xun Yu came out and said: "What my lord said is very true, the grassland people are all in the nature of tribal alliances, although there is Qiangqu controlled with an iron fist, but it is not monolithic, there is hatred between many tribes, and it is the only way to divide and win over." Our army came by taking advantage of the great victory, and as long as certain benefits were given, I believe that the tribes that have a bad relationship with Qiangqu will be willing to advance and retreat with us. ”
Liu Bei fanned his ears and said, "Then Wen Ruo, where do the benefits come from?" ”
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the grassland tribes have been constantly conquering each other for the sake of population and fertile grassland areas. General Liu. Where do you say the benefits come from? ”
"Makes sense!" Cao Yuan Liu nodded for a while.
Qin Feng finally concluded: "The tribes that help our army quell the rebellion can share the population and pastoral area of the rebellious tribes. The person who contributed the most, Ben Shuai, would recommend him as the new King of the Huns. ”
Qin Feng's strategy is clever. Even a hero like Cao Yuan Liu can't help but praise it.
"Brute to barbarism!"
"High, really high!"
In this regard, Qin Feng formulated a strategy to deal with the Xiongnu king Qiangqu.
As the saying goes, the snake can't be without a head, it needs to be inside the Huns. Find a man who can lead the pro-Han tribes against the Qiangqu. In this way, as in later generations, there is a new Xiongnu government army to suppress the ** armed forces. And Qin Feng was able to destroy the enemy with minimal losses.
So, he asked Xun Yu to bring the information of the tribes who really wanted to get Zhao'an. And soon, one person was picked out of it. This person is Saisang, the leader of the Horqin tribe, that is, Da Yu'er's father.
Qin Feng chose Saisang as the head of the New Tribal Alliance, not just because Saisang was Da Yu'er's father. There are two other reasons. One of them: With the defeat of the Xiongnu king Qiangqu, the tribes loyal to him suffered great losses. And the tribes that did not participate in the invasion and annexation of the state suffered very little losses. For example, Saisan's tribe has become one of the largest tribes at the moment.
Second: Saisan, as the patriarch of the steppe tribe, was highly respected among the Huns. With him taking the lead, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Saisang's tribe is the largest, and he is Qin Feng's future father-in-law. To choose a new leader of the Huns, it is natural to choose such a person who can be helped up.
Cao, Yuan, and Liu felt that this Saisang was very likely to be the future king of the Huns. With him leading the pro-Han tribes to fight against Qiangqu, the victory index of the official army soared. And the losses plummeted.
"That being the case, we wait for the good news of the great handsome." Cao Yuan Liu Qi said.
So, Qin Feng didn't stop, and immediately went to visit his future father-in-law in person.
Half an hour later. Ten miles northwest of the official army camp, tribal leaders friendly to the Central Plains, with their soldiers, gathered here to wait for the imperial court's edict. The size of the gathering place is not large, nor is it small. There are more than 10,000 people.
After Qin Feng came here, he did not alarm the other tribes, but directly came to the territory of his future father-in-law.
In front of the big tent of Saisan.
Saisang greeted Qin Feng's arrival with surprise, and he saluted first: "Dear former general, your visit makes Saisang feel very honored. ”
"Patriarch Saisan doesn't have to be polite." Qin Feng looked Saisang up and down, still the same as in the previous life.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two sides entered the account, Saisang invited Qin Feng to take a seat, and he, as the master, was subordinate.
The tent fell into a brief silence.
It is said that the defeat of the Xiongnu King Qiangqu to Qin Feng has spread throughout the prairie. The Huns exclaimed one after another, and there was a new "Huo Qu's disease" in the Central Plains court.
In fact, Saisang didn't think that the Xiongnu king Qiangqu's invasion of Han would succeed at the beginning, but he never expected that Qiangqu would be defeated so badly. As we all know, the Guanjun Wei general Yuan Benchu was defeated, and it was the former general Qin Feng who turned the tide and defeated Qiangqu.
The Huns are also bright-eyed, and they know that if there is no Qin Feng, it must be Qiangqu who wins. Therefore, in the hearts of the Huns, they were very in awe of Qin Feng.
They were afraid of Qin Feng, afraid that Qin Feng would kill the Huns as he did hundreds of years ago. Therefore, after hearing that Qin Feng proposed Zhao'an, many tribes came to submit.
After a short silence, Saisang said cautiously: "General Qin, I don't know if the edict of the imperial court has arrived?" ”
Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "The imperial court has already passed the proposal of this marshal to recruit An. ”
Zhao'an, it means that the imperial court forgave the Huns, Saisang was overjoyed, and immediately said: "I can have such a result, thanks to General Qin." We will always remember General Qin's kindness ....... ”
"I don't dare to do that." Qin Feng smiled again: "However, there is an edict from the imperial court, and the first evil must be eliminated." Like traitors Qiang Qu and others, they must be subdued. ”
Saisan was clever. For a long time, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't say a word.
And Qin Feng saw through Saisan's thoughts.
At first, Saisang thought that the imperial court would recruit peace together with Qiangqu. Then nothing is left, and immediately returns to the same period of calm as it was many years ago. But now the imperial court is "half-recruited", and the imperial court still wants to eliminate the Qiangqu. However, Qiang Qu still has a certain amount of armed force, and he will definitely not be restrained.
The confrontation between the official army and the Qiangqu grassland will inevitably affect other tribes. Where do the tribes go? Will the military be able to win in the end? And Qiangqu will definitely fail?
If the official army wins, it's okay to say, but what if the official army loses? So where should Saisang, these pro-Han Xiongnu tribes, go?
Saisan thought a lot.
Qin Feng said solemnly at this time: "The Xiongnu have always been the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and Qiangqu is rebellious, and heaven and earth do not tolerate it. The court is well aware of the righteousness, and knows that tribes like you and others are being coerced by Qiangqu, so they have pardoned you. If the tribes understood justice, they should help the court to put down the rebellion. ”
"Yes, yes......." Saisan agreed for a while, but anyone could see that it was very reluctant.
Qin Feng began to emphasize, "Before the Qiangqu is destroyed, the imperial army will never leave the grassland, and if necessary, there will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops to reinforce it." ”
When Saisan heard this, his face changed. If the imperial court exerted all its strength to deal with the Xiongnu, and there was a famous general like Qin Feng to command the battle, then the Xiongnu would never be able to win, and it would be the reappearance of Huo Quai's pursuit and killing of the Huns hundreds of years ago. From this point of view, Qiangqu is certain to die.
However, this is also good news for the pro-Han tribes like Saisan. This is a reassuring pill, since the imperial court will go all out to eliminate the Qiangqu, then Saisan and their choice to attach themselves to the imperial court is the right choice.
Qin Feng began to mention again, "The imperial court will pardon you and others, and you will also make a guarantee." The imperial court would give the obedient Xiongnu tribes a chance to prove their loyalty, that is, to assist the officials and soldiers to eliminate the rebellion together. ”
When Saisan heard this, he beat the drum in his heart again.
However, Qin Feng began to throw out the benefits again, he said: "After the war, the population and grassland of the rebellious tribes will be distributed to the tribes participating in the counterinsurgency according to the size of their war exploits. And the imperial court will also elect a new Xiongnu king from among these people. ”
Saisan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
At this point, Qin Feng said his Xiongnu policy in an orderly manner. It not only pardoned the tribes outside the royal family, but also reassured these tribes to eat, and finally promised benefits. Of course, after the Xiongnu tribes got these, they also needed to show loyalty.
How to show loyalty? Naturally, it is to follow the officials and soldiers to eliminate the Qiangqu together.
Saisang is a smart man, and since the imperial court has made up its mind to destroy the Qiangqu, he quickly made a wise decision, saying: "General Qin, Saisang made it clear here that I, the Horqin tribe, will support the general in his crusade against the rebellious Qiangqu. ”
Qin Feng was very pleased, although at present, it was only Saisang who made a statement, but since Saisang could express his position, other tribes would do the same. He immediately said in his own appearance: "Ben Shuai thinks that the new Hun King is none other than the Saisang patriarch. ”
Saisan's eyes brightened, the patriarchs of the Xiongnu tribes all dreamed of one day being able to sit in the position of the Xiongnu king, but not everyone had the opportunity. However, if someone can get the support of a general of Qin Feng's level, it is equivalent to getting the support of the imperial court. Then, becoming the king of the Huns is just around the corner.
However, Saisan is a smart man, and he doesn't think there is a good thing about "eagle owls falling from the sky". Although his tribe was influential in the steppe, there were several other tribes in the steppe that had the same influence.
Why did Qin Feng choose to support him?
Faced with the possibility of becoming the king of the Huns, Saisang was a little impatient, and some were at a loss, and after half a ring, he said: "General Qin, I don't know what Saisang needs to do?" ”
Qin Feng began to speak bluntly about this, and said with a smile: "Just to be able to marry the eldest daughter of the Saisang patriarch, the most beautiful pearl on the grassland, Da Yu'er." He smiled even more and said, "At that time, the patriarch of Saisang was Qin Feng's father-in-law, if Qin Feng didn't help you, who would he help?" ”
"Marry my daughter?" Saisan was overjoyed, but suddenly his face changed.
Qin Feng saw that his face changed, and he was confused with concern, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Could it be that the patriarch of Saisan is unwilling to marry this general? (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
