Chapter 626: One punch to open, a hundred free punches to come (2)(2/2)
It's also because Fulianchou was greedy. He only thought he had a chance to win and was afraid of being taken advantage of by other tribes. Therefore, when he jointly sent troops with Nanliang two years ago, he sent only tent troops from the tribes directly under him.
But things went against expectations. Not only was the defeat too fast, but the defeat was not as bad as usual. Fully 30% of Fu Lianchou's troops were lost, and his strength was greatly reduced for a while.
Later, when he saw that nearly 100,000 troops from Nanliang had been surrendered in Chencang, Fulianchou was even more frightened. He ignored the dissuasion of various princes and cronies and resolutely moved westward.
And all this trouble, I don’t know how much food and grass was consumed. It happened that Li Chengzhi occupied Hexi, and in the name of the court, he used the power of a fox to pretend to be a tiger. Jin ordered Tuyuhun to return to Shannan and give up the old racecourse. I don’t know how many cattle and horses lost weight due to starvation.
How many lambs starved to death.
For a time, various departments complained and rumors spread. Among them, the three departments of Tianzhu complained the most.
Just because there is weak water in the north of the Qilian Mountains and the Mojin River south of the Shandan Racecourse, these two places have the most fertile water and grass. Therefore, the northern part of Tianzhu is growing day by day, becoming the tribe with the most pastoral tents and the most extensive troops among the three tribes of Tianzhu.
.
Fulianchao forced the northern part of Tianzhu to move southward, which undoubtedly cut off his retreat. However, he was frightened by his despotic power and could only move southward.
As a result, the western and southern parts of Tianzhu had to give up their old territory in the north. As the old saying goes, it is not about scarcity but about inequality, which naturally made these two tribes hate Fulianchou.
The three tribes were originally from the same lineage and were naturally close to each other. Now they share the same hatred and regard the Khan as his enemy, which is even worse for Fulianchou, who has greatly lost his strength. Even his position as Khan seems to be unstable.
But now the Yuan and Wei dynasties have come to the rescue in times of need. It can be said to be a timely rain. Why doesn't Fulianchou know how to take advantage of it?
Be it money, grain, silk or hemp, including soldiers and armor from the Yuan and Wei dynasties, he would naturally use part of it to induce the three tribes of Tianzhu to send troops.
It doesn’t need to be more, just 30%. The remaining 70% is used to win people’s hearts and strengthen themselves.
But in any war, there is no such thing as immortality. As long as the Tianzhu tribe sends troops, its strength will inevitably be weakened. After the battle is over, 90% of them will be unable to compete with him.
And since he rewards a lot of money and food, I think the resentment of the Tianzhu tribe will be dissipated a lot, so it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
As for how many soldiers and horses the Tianzhu Department can gather and whether it can meet Yuan Cheng's wish, that is another matter.
Anyway, don’t let him send any personal soldiers...
I don't know what Fu Lianchou had planned, but knowing that Tuyuhun recruited the stronger Tianzhu Tribunal, Yuan Cheng was relatively satisfied.
There are more than 100,000 herdsmen in Tianzhu's three tribes, and it is more than enough to recruit 100,000 string-controlling soldiers. I dare not say that all the strong soldiers are available, but there should be 50,000 or 60,000. Then Fulian will help other tribes to gather together, at least
There are also 100,000, which basically meets Yuan Cheng’s expectations.
In addition, under Rouran and Xingluan's tent, there are 500,000 to 600,000 troops pointing to the West Sea. As long as the three parties work together and stay in camp step by step, there is no way Li Chengzhi can be invincible.
It was agreed with Fulianchou that his troops should be divided into two groups, with one group stationed at Salt Lake and the other group arriving at Shanshan Town (today's Ledu, Qinghai Province), which is only 500 miles away from Wuwei. Then they would wait for the right time and wait for Rouran's army.
When they arrived at Bogulu, they discussed with Xing Luan and Cui Yanbo before deciding how to fight.
Fulianchou agreed, but only told Yuan Cheng: As long as the army gathers together, Yuan and Wei must fulfill their promise and send grain, grass, soldiers and armor to Songpan.
Yuan Cheng said he would never break his promise and high-fived Fulianchou.
