On the endless grassland, the remaining 160,000 Tatar cavalry gradually left under the leadership of Harinut Angchun.
At the same time, they took away corpses all over the ground and the freedom they once had.
From now on, they will be Zhao Jun's subordinates. They are still independent on the surface, but as long as Zhao Jun speaks, they must obey the instructions obediently.
“My lord, will these Tatars be so obedient?
Will you regret it as soon as you go back? "
Guan Ning looked at the retreating figures of the Tatar army and said worriedly.
Zhao Jun shook his head and smiled: "No, they wouldn't dare!"
Guan Ning asked in confusion: "Is it because of the explosive pack?"
Zhao Jun shook his head: "That's just the second thing. The explosive bag can only fool ordinary Tatars who don't know anything. It's of no use to high-level Tatars like them."
"What about them?"
Guan Ning was even more puzzled.
At this time, Ding Hongguang came out from the side and explained to him: "If the Tatars want to continue to occupy this grassland, they must listen to the prince honestly.
It turned out that the Tatars had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, which could suppress all other tribes on this grassland. They could also make the Huns and Dayue clan fearful and not dare to invade their territory too much.
But now, including the 160,000 cavalry who returned this time, even if they still have 100,000 left behind, it is only 260,000.
This number is indeed quite a lot for those small tribes.
But if the Xiongnu and Da Yueshi find out..."
When Guan Ning heard this, he suddenly realized.
Then he said: "If the Xiongnu and Da Yuezhi knew that the Tatar strength was so seriously damaged, I am afraid they would invade them immediately. Facing the two greedy forces, with the current strength of the Tatars, I am afraid that the Tatars would be completely annexed by both sides. .
Therefore, in order for the Tatar tribe to survive, even if it is to give themselves some time to recover, during this period of time they will be obedient and respond to requests.
On the one hand, they were afraid that the prince would reveal the news that their strength had been greatly reduced and attract the prying eyes of the Xiongnu and Da Yueshi. On the other hand, they also wanted to use the power of the prince to restore their strength.
The mutual trade that the prince just proposed is exactly what they need. The Tatars have lost so much combat power. If they want to recover, they will definitely need more people.
A larger population will inevitably require more survival materials, which are lacking on the barren grasslands. Through the prince's mutual trade, they can obtain these materials they lack, thereby restoring Dingkou! "
Guang Ning had guessed most of the reasons why the Tatars were so honest and obedient, but there was still one thing he didn't understand.
He turned to look at Zhao Jun and asked: "My lord, you should know their purpose, why did you take the initiative to trade with them?
Wouldn't it be easier to control them if we continued to make them weak? "
Zhao Jun shook his head: "A dog that is too hungry will eat its owner when it is hungry.
It is best to keep them in a state of half-hungry but not hungry.
And do you think this king really lacks their tribute?
Why does the king want them to use tribute to obtain supplies in exchange for a share?
And haven’t you noticed that the current strength of the Tatar Royal Court is not much? "
Guan Ning was startled, and suddenly remembered that when the prince ordered the arrows to be released for the last time, most of the arrows in the army were directed at the troops directly under Harinut Angxi!
Unlike other Tatar tribes, almost all of the royal troops directly under Harinut Angchun wore leather armor, and they looked stronger than the people of other tribes just by looking at them.
But under the last wave of crossbow arrows just now, most of these elite members of the Tatar King's court army died in the rain of arrows before they even had time to show their strength!
The last time the prince asked the army to shoot arrows had a purpose!
Guan Ning looked at Zhao Jun in disbelief, but Zhao Jun just smiled slightly and said:
“The Tartar Royal Court is weak, but the strength of the big tribes has not suffered much loss.
The future share of the mutual market is related to the interests of their own tribes. I don’t think they are willing to give it all to the Angxi tribe, right?
Are you going to watch Harinut Angxi become the real Great Khan again?
Haha... The bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.
Who doesn’t want to take the next step?
Lao Guan, do you think so? "
"hiss!"
Guan Ning couldn't help but gasp!
poison!
Too poisonous!
My prince’s methods are too vicious!
Guan Ning finally figured out that this so-called tribute was a means to divide and disintegrate the Tatar tribe.
After the mutual market is opened, given the current situation in Tatar, the major tribes will definitely pay tribute to the prince desperately in order to obtain more shares, so that their tribes can get more shares, obtain more materials, and appear more The population increases the tribe's combat effectiveness.
In order to obtain these, it is impossible for the various Tatar tribes to live in harmony with each other. It is a reality that they fight openly and secretly to hinder each other.
There are internal struggles within any major power, and this is the same whether it is the Song Dynasty, the Tatars, the Huns or the Yueshi.
It's just that one of them has the strongest force, suppressing other internal fighting forces, which makes the entire tribe unite to fight against other forces.
The Song Dynasty is the royal family, the Tatars are the royal court, and the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu are also their respective royal courts.
But now, the Tatar Wang Ting's tribe has suffered heavy losses due to Zhao Jun's deliberate targeting!
There is no longer the strength to suppress the major tribes.
Under such circumstances, the existing conflicts among the major tribes will break out in the competition for interests, leading to complete turmoil!
The prince can balance everything and use his market share to control the situation.
Support the weak tribes, suppress the strong tribes, and use the interests to play with the entire Tatar tribe in applause!
terrible! terrible!
Guan Ning shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
The minds of these scholars are indeed terrible, and cannot be manipulated by a martial artist like me.
Here Guan Ning finally figured out all the joints, but over there Ding Hongguang was already reporting the final result of the battle to Zhao Jun.
"Your Majesty, our Yunzhou Army has dispatched a total of 260,000 soldiers and horses for this battle. After checking just now, about 7,000 people were killed in several charges. According to statistics, a total of about 240,000 enemies were killed this time. May!
Since you, the Prince, allowed the Tatar corpses to be taken back, the exact number cannot be calculated.
However, the corresponding military exploits have been tallied by military judges at all levels, and they will be compiled into a document and reported to you in detail after returning home. "
"Well, you did a good job. The remaining pensions for the fallen soldiers must be in place, and those who have children at home must follow the rules. They must not be deducted even half a cent of their food and pensions, and these heroes must not be humiliated later.
Don’t most military families live together?
When you get back, count how many households there are and let everyone vote for some representatives to set up a mutual aid association for military dependents.
On weekdays, I help take care of military families and care for the orphans of martyrs. The money and food are provided by the palace, and I will ask the princess to serve as the president.
There is also the calculation of military achievements, which must be accurate and accurate. No one can be missed, and no one is allowed to take the credit of Mo's subordinates. If this king finds out, he will be killed without mercy.
We cannot chill the hearts of the soldiers and make them bleed and shed tears, do you understand? "
"Yes! I will understand!"
