(I’m fat! Who said I entered the palace? Stand up!)
——(Text below)
After hearing the comments from the leaders of the tribes under his command, Harinut immediately realized that he had really slacked off over the years, which led to the current situation of the Tatar tribe.
Due to his own inaction, the entire Tatar tribe was reduced to the weakest one in the eyes of several major forces around him. Even the southerners who only knew how to cower in the past took the opportunity to come up and bite him a few times. This is simply unforgivable!
When did the Tatar tribe fall to this point? If this continues, how can I have the face to meet the ancestors of the great khans who have returned to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven?
After listening to the stories of the leaders of each tribe, Harinut sat in his seat and touched his chin, thinking deeply.
This familiar action made the khans of various tribes who were noisy just now feel a little dazed.
How long? How long has it been since I saw this iconic move of the Great Khan?
Five years ago, whenever the Tatar tribe faced a major decision, the wise and mighty Great Khan would always make such an action, and then make incomparably correct decisions one after another. The Tatar tribe, which was originally just a medium-sized tribe on the grassland, grew step by step until it became one of the only overlords on the grassland today!
The remnant forces of the Dayue clan were completely driven out of the grassland by the Tatar tribe. With a tyrannical attitude, they took a third of the territory from the Xiongnu, the overlord of the grassland at that time, allowing the Tatar tribe, which originally had a population of only 300,000, to have Now this vast grassland territory has a huge population of more than one million!
At that time, the Great Khan was so heroic that people couldn't help but want to worship his horse and hold his sword for him.
Now, they actually saw this scene again. This long-lost scene made them feel a little dazed, as if their memories were shining into reality, but he really appeared in front of them and others.
perhaps……
An idea couldn't help but appear in everyone's mind.
Perhaps these five years of silence are just the Great Khan's silence for a greater future, and at this moment the Great Khan will once again lead the Tatar tribe to become an even greater grassland overlord!
When the various Tatar tribes were thinking this way, Harinut, who was a great khan in their eyes and was a wise and powerful man, was thinking about which soft persimmon should he pinch?
That’s right, it’s a soft persimmon!
From what the Khans of each tribe said just now, he could know that the current strength of the Tatar tribe was not as good as before.
The law of the jungle has always been played out on the grassland. If you are weak, the part you lose will definitely be gained by your opponent, and he will naturally become stronger.
After years of suppressing and plundering the Tatar tribe, as well as invading the borders of the Song Dynasty from time to time, the Xiongnu today are rapidly growing in strength and are more than twice as powerful as they were five years ago. This is a hard nut that cannot be touched!
As for the Da Yuezhi in the west, after they were completely driven out of the grassland by him, they fled to the desert west, but they did not expect that they would find a land full of small countries.
After relying on the remaining soldiers to attack and annex those small countries, the Dayeshi not only did not decline, but found a place to stay and developed and grew again!
In the past five years, the Yueshi, who had recovered some of their strength, noticed that some of the Tatar tribes were taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack. Instead, they regained some territory on the grassland. Now they have the technical blessings of those small countries. , plus Dayuezhi’s original cavalry.
The Tatar tribe had to fight two against one against the Yuezhi's well-armed troops. This was a tough guy and couldn't be moved!
In this way...
Harinut's thoughts suddenly turned to the south, and Song Kingdom appeared in his field of vision.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has mostly focused on defense against surrounding forces, especially grassland forces with large numbers of cavalry. It will never actively look for grassland forces to attack unless necessary.
It can be said that the defensive talent has been maximized...
The Yunzhou County border they faced in the south of Tatar was originally part of the grassland. Fifty years ago, it suddenly belonged to the Song Dynasty for some reason. This gave the Song Dynasty a buffer land on the grassland outside the Song Dynasty, which reduced the power on the grassland. It is no longer possible to easily raid the lands within the Song Dynasty Pass from this direction.
Gradually, the grassland forces that had been in charge of this part of the area gradually stopped entering from here. Therefore, no major wars occurred here in the past fifty years.
Are there any opportunities here?
Harinut's eyes flashed.
He suddenly raised his head and gave an order, and suddenly someone walked into the camp quickly.
"Abulati meets the respected Great Khan!"
The person was wearing a white robe, with a pancake-shaped turban on his head, and his face was covered by white cloth. Only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed, flashing with light from time to time.
Abulati is not a name, but a title. Since the rise of the Tatar tribe, Harinut has set up an intelligence agency in the royal court, and each leader of the anger department will be awarded Abulati. For the name.
The main function of the angry place is also very straightforward, that is, to collect information, which is equivalent to the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty, the Falcon Court of the Xiongnu, and the Eagle Eye Tower of the Great Yueshi.
(Forgive me for looking up information for a long time in order to come up with these names. In the end, there was too little information about Da Yuezhi to just pick them up. I laughed and cried.
The word "angry" means eyes in Mongolian. Since there are too few surviving Chinese translations of the Xiongnu words, we chose the word "Falcon Court" based on Chanyu Ting, which means like the eyes of a falcon. )
To be able to rise and become one of the four major forces in the surrounding area, there is no doubt that Harinut is very aware of the importance of intelligence. If he did not have detailed intelligence, how could he lead the Tatar tribe to break out from the many tribes in the grassland and become one of the major forces today? .
The moment Abulati came in, everyone in the big tent immediately looked at him, but the eyes were not very friendly, and the reason was very simple.
The angry place controlled by Abu Lati is not only responsible for the external intelligence collection of the Tatars, but also collects internal intelligence from each tribe and reports it to the Great Khan so that the Great Khan can grasp the true situation of each tribe.
And this also makes the Khans of various tribes always feel that someone is secretly watching them in the dark, and they are naturally unhappy. They even secretly suspect that Abulati wraps himself in white cloth every time he appears in front of everyone. He was so tight because he was afraid that they would know his true identity and secretly try to punish him.
This is indeed the case. Ever since the first Abu Lati died in horse manure late at night for no reason, every subsequent Abu Lati took office secretly and would hide his true face in front of everyone. Only Dabulai Only then can the Khan know their true colors.
Ignoring the strange looks from the tribes around him, Harinut asked immediately:
"Abulati Khan needs to know the specific information about the boundaries of Yunzhou County in the Song Dynasty. Is he so angry that he collects relevant information?"
Abulati quickly recalled the relevant information after thinking for a moment, and answered immediately without concealing anything.
"Dear Great Khan, God bless you forever. We started collecting relevant information about Yunzhou County after anomalies occurred in the south five years ago.
It's just that the process is not ideal. Some of the data currently detected are from five years ago. In the past five years, the data in Yunzhou County has not been detected. Instead, the data in Liaobei County after Yunzhou County has been collected. "
Harinut immediately became interested when he heard this, but he only collected the ones from five years ago? Moreover, even the information on Liaobei County behind Yunzhou County has been collected, but the information on Yunzhou County cannot be collected?
This Yunzhou County is full of grasslands. It can be said that it is easy for a herdsman from abroad to sneak in. Why can't they collect it?
Harinut immediately asked.
"Abulaiti, I believe you will tell me the reason."
"That's for sure, my noble Great Khan!"
Ablati respectfully performed a chest-supporting salute and then began to speak.
"According to the intelligence we received from five years ago, except for a simple Yunzhou City, Yunzhou County five years ago was no different from other tribes on the grassland. The tribes within the territory were mainly nomadic. , our personnel can easily sneak in.
But five years ago, the Song Dynasty sent an emperor's son to Yunzhou County. Since then, Yunzhou County has changed. Each of them has an additional thing called an ID card, which corresponds to each person's identity. .
However, none of our people will be discovered once they enter, so no relevant intelligence about Yunzhou County has been collected in the past five years. On the contrary, they were so angry that they hired a lot of manpower.
But through some caravans that took a detour to the grassland, we can easily learn about the situation in Liaobei County after Yunzhou County. Since the surrender of Yunzhou County fifty years ago, Liaobei County, which was originally heavily guarded, has gradually reduced its border troops. Now, Except for a few important checkpoints, which are guarded by large armies, the rest of the areas are no longer guarded by troops.
After that, we were so angry that we sent people to observe on the spot, and got even more shocking news.
Nowadays, there is a big problem in the Song Dynasty or in this Liaobei County. Their officials are exploiting the civilians in the territory, and their officers are robbing the soldiers of their food and wages.
Even the weapons of the defenders have appeared on the black market. This year there has been a severe drought and the entire Liaobei County has become useless, just like a skinned lamb waiting for everyone to take a bite. "
As soon as Abulai finished speaking, Harinut immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
The leaders of other tribes were not stupid either. They thought of something in an instant and showed greedy expressions.
"In just five years, there shouldn't be any big changes in Yunzhou County. As long as we rush over and use the power of Liaobei County now, we Tatars can plunder and increase their strength as if they were in an uninhabited country. This is a soft persimmon... …”
Harinut's murmurs echoed in the tent, but the tribal khans in the tent had slowly opened their mouths, revealing bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes...
