"Gebatu! You Hegel is the largest tribe in the south. Tell me what happened in the past few years. Why have so many tribes near the Song Dynasty disappeared?!
Where have the Tatars gone with so many tribes and warriors in the southern steppes! ? "
In the Tatar Golden Tent, Harinut Angxiang, who had just finished the tribal meeting and worshiped Changshengtian, angrily questioned a sullen bearded Tatar.
The bearded Tatar tribe is Gebatu Hegel, and the Hegel tribe is the largest Tatar tribe in the southern grassland. The entire tribe has a population of more than 200,000. If necessary, it can directly pull out a group of about 50,000 people. The cavalry was an important enabler for the Tatar Court to control the southern grasslands.
Gebatu had always had a gloomy face since he came to the tribal meeting. When faced with the question from Great Khan Harinut, he only replied in a deep voice: "They were all taken away!"
After saying this, his already gloomy face turned even darker, but the other tribal khans in the golden tent could feel the anger in his heart.
That was the anger directed at Harinut!
Not only him, but other tribal leaders also have great opinions on Harinut.
This world is very big, and they are not the only ones who survive on this vast grassland.
The northwest grasslands bordering them are occupied by the fierce and powerful Xiongnu, and behind them are the Da Yueshi who are watching covetously!
If it weren't for these two tribes, the Xiongnu would have targeted the richer Song Dynasty, and the Yueshi were exploring the countries in the Western Regions, but the Song Dynasty was unable to get out.
The Tatars were sandwiched between the Song Dynasty, the Huns and the Yuezhi, and they were probably divided up by the three.
Under such a crisis, Tatar finally ushered in a golden period of development. The three major forces surrounding Tatar had their own troubles to solve and had no time to turn their attention to Tatar.
At this time, it was a good time for Tatar to officially develop and grow, but Harinut, as the Great Khan of Tatar, actually slacked off at this important juncture!
Five years! Five whole years!
He, the great khan, only knew how to enjoy himself in the royal court, and did not interfere at all with the development of the Tatar tribe. He allowed the major tribes to fend for themselves, and he also had to pay regular tributes to him, the great khan, for his enjoyment. How could this make them feel angry?
After listening to Gebatu's words, Harinut was about to angrily reprimand him for why so many tribes in the southern grasslands were captured.
But soon, he immediately felt something strange in the atmosphere around him, and turned around. Although the clan leaders of the surrounding tribes lowered their heads and did not speak, he could tell from the bored look in their eyes when they looked up at him from time to time. It turned out that they were all very dissatisfied with themselves.
Harinut is not a fool to be able to take the position of Great Khan. In the past few years, he just finally relaxed and couldn't control it for a while.
After five years of enjoyment, his reason had returned and he noticed something was wrong around him. He wisely did not continue to ask why the southern tribe disappeared. Instead, he restrained his temper, walked to his seat and sat down. Next, he asked the tribal khans in a deep voice:
"It seems that a lot of things have happened in the past five years. Let's talk about it. What is the situation of our Tatar department now?"
As soon as he said these words, the Khans of the tribes were like a raging flood that suddenly found an outlet. They began to talk about various situations encountered by the Tatar tribe in the past five years, and described The hardships of his own tribe vent his dissatisfaction.
Soon, Harinut learned the true situation of the Tatar tribe from the mouths of the Khans of these tribes.
Although there is no threat from the Xiongnu, Yueshi and Song Dynasty, for the grassland tribes, their environment is the biggest threat to them.
The weather has been extremely weird in the past few years. In the past, winter was often the most difficult time on the entire grassland, but after one winter, a tribe of ten thousand people would only lose five or six hundred people at most.
Most of the rest made it through the winter.
But since the weather changed, the winters have become longer in recent years, and the scale of the annual white disasters has been larger than in previous years. In the past five years, the entire Tatar tribe's herdsmen have died in the white disasters every year. About one tenth!
The entire Tatar tribe has about a million people, and about 100,000 people will die in the white disaster every year. If the environment had not been stable in recent years, the number of children born would have made up for the number of people who died every winter.
I'm afraid that in a few years, the Tatar tribe, with a population of close to one million, will be wiped out by this white disaster.
Moreover, not only were they having a hard time in the past few years, but the Xiongnu and Da Yuezhi were also having a hard time. Every year around winter, these two tribes would bite the Tatar tribe close to them to replenish their own blood.
Due to the inaction of the Great Khan, the Tatar tribe was unable to organize an effective confrontation to resist the plunder of the Huns and Dayue tribes.
As for why there were so few people in the southern grassland where Gebatu was located, Harinut also understood the reason from his mouth.
It turns out that since five years ago, the rebel Tatar tribes who surrendered to the Song Dynasty have crossed the border and entered the grasslands from time to time.
And every time they came, there would always be a few tribes that were plundered overnight, leaving not even a single person alive, only corpses all over the ground waiting for the discoverers to deal with them.
At first Gebatu received news that some small tribes in the south had disappeared and he didn't pay much attention.
This is a grassland, a place where battles occur every day. Tribes disappear and new tribes appear all the time. These are all normal things.
But then, as the opponent's actions became larger and larger, and a tribe that was deeply attached to the Hegel tribe was plundered overnight, Gebatu finally realized that something was wrong.
After the investigation, the figures of many Yunzhou County tribes who had never thought to be hidden appeared in Gebatu's sight.
It's them who are causing trouble!
It was when they were clearing out the tribes in the entire southern grassland one by one in a way that was equivalent to cannibalization.
After learning the truth of the matter, Gebatudang was furious and threatened to kill all these daring guys!
But when he calmed down, he knew that this was inappropriate, because at that time, the Great Khan had no interest in political affairs, and his strength had been greatly reduced due to the recent disaster, so he couldn't face those traitors head-on!
Although the other party betrayed the Tatar tribe, they are now mixed with the Song Dong family. No matter what they want to do, they must consider the consequences. Can they bear the anger of the Song Dynasty now?
However, what he didn't expect was that the Song Dynasty was also worried about whether they would join the invaders. Now the Song Dynasty was deploying troops on all sides, and its already small family really did not have the strength to go to war with them at this moment.
In this way, with the tacit acquiescence of both parties, Gebatu turned a blind eye to this.
And Gebatu just watched helplessly as the traitors robbed all the surrounding tribes day by day.
It's not that he can't defeat the opponent, but that he is afraid of the Song Dynasty, and his leader never shows up, so he can only watch like this.
And now that Harinut is back, this also means that maybe their Hegel tribe can start to fight back. He has already reached the point of being intolerable to those traitors!
It's time to fight back!
