Sumuhal, a large tribe that migrated from the northern grasslands after the Hegel tribe was crippled, has a population of 250,000. It was one of the four largest tribes on the Tatar grassland after the Royal Court. one.
One of the three tribes today.
Because the Royal Court was preparing to invade Yunzhou County, the Tatar Great Khan Harinut specially moved the Sumuhal tribe, which was the most powerful in the battle with the Dayue clan, and moved it to the southern grasslands. A large pasture was designated for the Sumuhal tribe, which was twice the size of the original Sumuhal tribe!
This made the Sumuhale tribe willingly migrate from the north to the south. Of course, this was also because the pastures in the south were already richer and richer than those in the north.
The reason why Harinut took such trouble to move a large tribe like the Sumuhar tribe to the southern grasslands was to establish an outpost for the subsequent invasion of Yunzhou County.
Hundreds of thousands of troops set off on an expedition. Although the Tatars always traveled lightly, some necessary materials still needed to be supplied along the way, and this required a large enough and safe station.
Originally, the Hegel tribe was such a suitable base, but after Hegel was crippled by the escort, they could no longer defend their original pasture and were divided up by other medium-sized tribes. Even the original base They were all set on fire and driven out.
This is the cruel law of survival on the grassland, the weak eat the strong.
If you are a strong person, then there is no doubt that you will be respected by everyone.
But if you are a weakling, then in the eyes of the Tatars who have grown up in struggle since birth, you are just fish on the chopping board. Anyone can come up and take a bite, and they will not mind killing you by the way.
Especially when the Hegel tribe was originally strong, its style had always been strong. Many small and medium-sized tribes were aggrieved by being bullied, but because of the power of the Hegel tribe, they had to swallow their anger.
Now, as soon as Hegel's tribe fell, they couldn't wait to step up and step on them. They even killed the Hegel's tribe to prevent them from resurrecting.
First, they divided up the pastures of the Hegel tribe, and then drove their entire clan out during the winter, leaving them shivering in the cold wind and snow.
In the end, I watched them all freeze to death!
The Hegel tribe, which was once powerful in the southern grasslands, did not die in the hands of the enemy, but was completely exterminated in the hands of its own people.
In order to have an outpost for the advancing army, Harinut, the great khan, had no choice but to move the Sumuhal tribe here.
After an initial period of adaptation, Sumukhal firmly took root here, and by the way, he also snatched back the pasture that had been taken away from the Hegel tribe from those medium-sized tribes.
The arrival of a new overlord has made the southern grasslands, which had been calm, become noisy again.
After several months of working together and establishing their authority, many Tatar tribes in the southern grasslands finally accepted the fact that their boss had been replaced.
And finally, under the threat of Sumukhal, he honestly began to make confessions.
"Trull, someone under my command said that the small and medium-sized tribes seem to be very lively recently. Are they trying to do something?"
In Sumukhal's big tent, two muscular men were tearing into pieces of roasted mutton in their hands.
One of them, a pot-bellied man with pigtails, told his news while eating, and told Sumukhal Khan Trull Sumukhal opposite!
Sumukhal's body was extremely strong, no smaller than the pot-bellied man opposite him. He had a bald head and several hideous scars on his face, one of which was cruel and looked recent.
It was left behind when he fought against a chief of the Da Yuezhi in the last battle with the Da Yuezhi this year. At that time, the scimitars of both sides were about to rush into each other's faces. If this continues, they will both die together. .
At the last moment when the scimitar was swung down, when the scimitar was only a punch's width away from Trull, the enemy hesitated, because Trull's scimitar also came in front of him.
But compared to his hesitation, Trull's always tough character naturally didn't care about the knife that was about to fall on the door, and just slashed it with all his strength.
It was the enemy's hesitation that gave him no chance to hesitate anymore, and Trull cut off his neck with a knife.
The knife in the enemy's hand also scratched Trull's face when the opponent struggled.
Jean Trull's face, which already had several scars, once again received a new scar.
After swallowing the mutton in his mouth, Trull picked up a pottery bowl next to him and drank heavily.
Snoring, snoring, snoring...
"Hiccup~"
After finishing the drink, Trull let out a big burp and put down the pottery bowl in his hand. There was actually a lot of tea leaves left at the bottom of the bowl.
What he drank was tea, and it was good tea.
The middle and lower-class tribes don't even have tea bricks made of tea residues, but the drinks they drink from the big tribes are no worse than those drank by the Song people in Guan Nei.
This is the gap between the Tatars at the top and the Tatars at the bottom.
They don't lack supplies, what they lack is always those at the bottom.
After drinking tea to relieve his tiredness, Trull casually wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and then said disdainfully: "Doing some action? What kind of exercise? Can they beat us?"
As long as they dare to come, we will let them know what one of the three largest Tatar tribes in this grassland is!
The 70,000 string-controllers of my Sumuhal tribe are not a good-looking figure! "
Trul didn't care at all about the small and medium-sized tribes left behind in the southern grasslands and the small and medium-sized tribes that migrated with his own tribe.
He is not afraid of such low- and mid-level tribes even if they all unite together. The soldiers of their Sumuhal tribe are all elites who have experienced the bloody storms!
Even when they fought against Da Yuezhi before, they could still fight one against three!
An elite Tatar from their Sumuhal tribe can chase three big Yuezhi scimitar knights!
This is enough to prove how strong the elite cavalry of their Sumuhal tribe is!
As for those small tribes at the middle and lower levels, even if they are all united together, they are just a group of rabble without any cooperation and tacit understanding.
Against such a rabble, Sumu Haleb's elite cavalry were as easy to fight as driving a flock of sheep!
So he doesn't care at all about what those small, middle- and low-level tribes are doing?
The Sumuhal tribe has enough force to suppress everything!
But the Khan advised: "It's better to be careful, now the war is coming. We have just arrived in the southern grassland, and the foundation here is already unstable.
And those original medium-sized tribes have always been dissatisfied with us. If something happens at this time and messes up the southern grassland, it will not be easy for you to deal with the Great Khan, right? "
Trull was silent and said nothing more.
Because he knew what the other party said was true. What the southern grasslands needed now was stability rather than chaos. The southern grasslands must ensure stability before the war begins.
Only in this way can we avoid any trouble when the army comes.
So Trull was silent. He was thinking about whether he should check this matter, so as not to catch himself off guard at a critical moment...
