The current situation in the Xiongnu grassland made Tila very angry. What made him even more angry was that their royal court was breached because his own people besieged the royal court!
Otherwise, according to what they said, the Song army could number up to 10,000 people, and their tribe had a total of 50,000 royal guards stationed there. It would be absolutely impossible for the other party to dare to attack them alone without being trapped.
It was because these damn guys jointly attacked Wang Ting from the front that the other party found the opportunity to sneak attack Wang Ting from behind and kidnapped all his wife and children!
And according to his behavior in the Song Dynasty, the people of Song Dynasty will never treat them well. I am afraid that his wife and children will be humiliated by the people of Song Dynasty!
But... now he only has 20,000 people in his hands, the same 20,000 people who were just defeated. If he goes to find that army like this, whether he can defeat it or not is a question.
In this vast grassland, ten thousand people are just like a drop in the ocean.
Tila was worthy of being a grassland hero who could hold the position of Great Chanyu. He quickly calmed down from his anger and analyzed the pros and cons with a clear head.
Looking at the defeated 20,000 remaining soldiers behind him who had no fighting spirit.
Looking at the trembling Hunu Day who was kneeling at his feet, Tila suddenly had a plan in her mind!
…
Somewhere in the central prairie.
Having just placed the last head belonging to the tribal leader on top of the newly built capital, Huo Qubing nodded with satisfaction.
good! My craftsmanship is getting better and better.
Sooner or later, one day I will want the entire grassland to be covered with my works!
Huo Quebing also has his own artistic dream, and building Jingguan is his most talented craft.
Just as Huo Qubing was looking at his new work with satisfaction, a subordinate came quickly and caught his attention.
Tap tap tap tap!
"General, news came from the secret guards in the direction of Yumen Pass that the remaining Xiongnu troops had returned to the grassland from the pass four days ago.
Counting the time now, I am afraid I have returned to the Royal Court! "
"What? So fast?"
When Huo Qubing heard that the Xiongnu Great Chanyu had brought people back, his brows instantly wrinkled, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
After thinking about it, Huo Qubing asked, "How many troops did the Xiongnu Great Chanyu bring back?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, and then said: "It seems to be 20,000?"
"Twenty thousand?!"
Huo Qubing repeated in surprise.
The soldier hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily:
"The intelligence sent back by the secret guards was that there were only 20,000 people. They said that most of them were killed by the prince when they were in the pass. Then on the way to escape, they encountered the Tianwu Army who happened to be returning for reinforcements. They were killed by the old prince, and only the remaining ones were left. Twenty thousand people ran out.”
"That's it!"
Huo Qubing touched his chin, thought for a moment and said immediately:
"Well, after all, we are the leader of the Huns. Even if there are only 20,000 left, we must act cautiously.
During this period, let the secret guards pay more attention to the news from the Xiongnu side, and our actions here will appropriately reduce the frequency of activity.
It used to take two days to conquer a tribe, but instead it took one day to conquer a tribe. Brothers who are investigating the surrounding situation should work harder. "
"promise!"
The messenger on the side nodded subconsciously. Just as he was about to go down and deliver the order, he suddenly felt something was wrong?
Proceed with caution? Reduce activity frequency? One tribe in two days becomes one in one day?
This...is this a reduction in activity frequency?
The ordering soldier was dumbfounded, and other soldiers around him who heard this also looked at their general in astonishment.
We don’t have enough education, so don’t fool us. Are you lowering your frequency?
Doesn't this speed up?
Feeling the attention of everyone, Huo Qubing shrugged and said: "No matter what, the leader of the Xiongnu is back. As long as he is not a waste, he will quickly integrate the Xiongnu. We only have 10,000 people. Once the Xiongnu are integrated, With a leader, we are not enough people to play.
If you don't hurry up and kill more Huns before the opponent has finished integrating, you won't have such a good chance in the future.
This is the last chance to beat the drowned dog. "
The others nodded in agreement after hearing this, but...
The look in his general's eyes was still strange, but Huo Qubing ignored it all.
In the following days, Huo Qubing's already unscrupulous 10,000 elite cavalry became even more rampant!
In just seven days, nine Xiongnu tribes were defeated one after another. Two of them were defeated in one day because they were close to each other.
During this period of time, Tila also brought his 20,000 people, first gathered the scattered people of his tribe, and expanded his number to 40,000, followed by a bloody suppression and merger!
Those other tribes that occupied the central grassland were attacked one by one by Tira, stepping on their leader's head and annexing their tribes, their population, their cattle and sheep, and everything else!
The 40,000 troops regained their confidence during the merger process and once again transformed into the bloodthirsty royal guards of the past!
In less than half a month, the entire central grassland was annexed by Tila, forming the new Tila tribe, with a population of 300,000!
Among them, there are as many as half of the combatable soldiers!
But at this time, Tila finally sent a summons to the entire Xiongnu grassland in the name of the Xiongnu Great Chanyu!
The tribes in other directions who were still fighting in the war didn't think about it for long after receiving the news, and then they all headed towards the central grassland honestly.
The great chanyu Tila left a deep impression on them, and they did not have the courage to resist yet.
When they arrived in the central grassland and heard about the recent events in the central grassland, these tribal leaders were even more grateful that they had relented.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will also be annexed.
On the eve of Tira's imminent annexation of the central grassland, Huo Qubing had already led his people to leave the grassland, returned to the Tatar grassland, and headed towards Yunzhou County.
This time their gains were not small. They captured all the family members of the main tribes of the Huns. They also made all the women complain about the chaos and the population was reduced by an unknown amount.
But they only have 10,000 people.
With such results, it can be said that he has made a lot of money. Now that Tila is back and has begun to integrate the grasslands, he can't do anything with his ten thousand people, so he might as well just come back.
And when Zhao Jun received the news from Yunzhou County in Bianjing that Huo Qubing and others had returned, as well as the results of their battle, he immediately sent back a decree with a smile.
Let Huo Qubing and others come to Bianjing with the captured prisoners.
Zhao Jun wants to use these prisoners to sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple!
And he had promised Huo Qubing a long time ago that he would be rewarded as long as he fulfilled his promise. Now the other party has not only completed it, but also exceeded the standard!
He wants to give the other party a reward!
He had already thought about the reward, and Huo Qubing was worthy of it.
And this time the reward is not just for Huo Qubing.
Many generals who came to the capital with him to support him also needed rewards.
The officials in Yunzhou County who have been following him also need to be promoted. Those are his real potential ministers!
Just some time ago, a large number of ministers were imprisoned in the court because of the reselling of grain.
During this period, the ministers in the court have been urging themselves to fill the vacant official positions. Don't think that you don't know their thoughts.
Look at the people they recommended. They are all officials of their own line. They are not doing this for the imperial court. They are clearly trying to expand the rights and voice of their own line in the imperial court.
But how can I let them succeed? Their people are not the only ones who can be officials in the world!
