Looking at the very young general of the Tang Army in front of him, with eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Mo Hedu was shocked. The land of the Central Plains is really full of outstanding people. A young general in front of him can actually see through my thoughts just by simple communication? It seems that I was still too arrogant before, and the power of the Central Plains Dynasty was not something I could predict.
"Okay! I'll do as you say. If the war situation is out of control and you need to take action, we will be responsible for the post-war pension. For any warrior who is injured or killed in battle, we will pay ten horses."
He was talking about a BMW, not a good horse, which shows Mo Heduo's sincerity.
Su Lie didn't say anything to refute. Xiao Rui smiled and said with a playful smile: "If you can't even eat a Hu Yi tribe, it's not worth our help. You Mo He Duo deserved to be killed."
These words were a bit heartbreaking, but Mo Heduo did not refute. Instead, he felt confident and proud in his heart, and nodded decisively.
The two parties agreed and Xiao Rui ordered the camp to be set up. Su Lie asked worriedly: "Chang Shi, we are not abandoning our war horses now. There is no need to fight for the skin of a tiger because of two thousand war horses. If the Western Turks go back on their word..."
Xiao Rui said calmly: "Jie Li can't catch up in one day. I'm not looking for these two thousand horses, but I'm optimistic about Mo He Duo. This person is ambitious, talented, courageous, and can endure. Now there is If you have good luck, you are only one chance away from soaring into the sky."
"Now, meeting us is his chance."
Su Lie was surprised and said, "Are you optimistic about this person's future? I am stupid at the end. He is the leader of a poor and weak tribe. If he wants to become big, I'm afraid it will be... difficult."
Su Lie didn't refute Xiao Rui's face too much. Xiao Rui smiled and said without explanation, "If possible, I bet that he can be the next generation of Western Turks."
Hiss...how is this possible?
Su Lie refused to believe it.
After many days of running around, Su Lie camped next to the grassland tribes for the first time. Su Lie arranged his arrangements with extra caution, fearing that Mohe Duo would unethically attack the Tang army in the middle of the night.
As Xiao Rui expected, Mo Heduo was not a short-sighted person, and the raid on the Hu Yi tribe was true. Early the next morning, both sides set off in full force to attack the Hu Yi tribe.
Unlike the Tang army that destroyed the tribes under Jieli, Mohe Duo wanted to annex the Hu Yi and make himself bigger. So he led his troops to the outside of the Hu Yi tribe. Instead of making a direct sneak attack, he sent someone to notify them and called for a battle.
The leader of the Huyi tribe was shocked, Mo Hedu? He is usually submissive, but such a timid person dares to lead troops to attack and call for war? Don’t want to live anymore?
"Chief, it seems that Mo He Duo is not the only one here. There are also three thousand soldiers and horses, covered in armor and with shining blades. Looking at the flags, it seems to be the Tang army."
Tang Jun? The Tang army was all at Yumen Pass, why did they come here? Could it be that Mo Heduo defected to the Tang army and came to seek revenge on us?
The leader of the Hu Yi clan was confused and rode out to negotiate, accusing Mo He Duo of betraying the grassland.
Mohedu laughed loudly, "I came to Mohedu without betraying the grassland. The Tang army was the reinforcement I invited to deal with you Hu Yi. You have bullied us for many years. Today, you must either surrender or die!"
"Mo He Duo, who gave you the courage to make such a noise? Do you think you can come to me to seek revenge by relying on Tang Jun? In the past, you were just a dog lying at my feet, but I underestimated you." Patriarch Hu Yi cursed angrily.
Mo Heduo didn't say much, and turned the hatred in his heart into a sneer, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to organize the army. Don't say I'll attack you sneakily."
Cheng Huaimo, who was watching the battle, asked in a low voice: "General Su, if we don't go on the field, can Mohe Duo's three thousand men really win?"
Su Lie's eyes were deep, and he had been observing the two opposing sides. He nodded and pointed: "Look at the morale of the two warring parties. The Mohe Duo side is very powerful, while the Hu Yi tribe is sluggish. When the two armies are fighting, the armor and equipment are second, and the number of people is second. He is not the first, but has the highest morale! Before the war even started, Hu Yi was at a disadvantage."
"Three thousand versus five thousand?"
"Haha, this is not a battle to attack and defend the city. In cavalry battles, the common method is to penetrate the opponent. If Mohe Duo can penetrate the opponent, then the five thousand soldiers and horses on the opposite side will be like five thousand scattered lambs, waiting to be slaughtered. Bar."
slaughter?
Obviously, Su Lie's situation was also reduced. Mo He Duo used the strategy of a fox pretending to be a tiger's power, and 3,000 men penetrated the opponent's 5,000 men. However, he did not chase them with bloodlust, but intercepted and killed the general and clan leader, and then showed his head to the public to recruit the enemy. With hundreds of casualties, Moheduo annexed and incorporated the enemy's tribe of 10,000 people, directly expanding the army to 4,000 elite young men.
This scene shocked Su Lie and a group of young second-generation people. Could it be that this was still possible?
But all this seemed to be expected by Xiao Rui. He sat firmly in the middle of the army, waiting for Mo Heduo to come and find him.
"Thank you generals. Mo He Duo is here to fulfill the agreement. I wonder which general will be sent to select the war horses?"
Su Lie volunteered to stand up.
Xiao Rui left Mo Hedu behind, "Chief Mo, now that you have annexed the Hu Yi tribe, your tribe has expanded to a medium-sized tribe. What are your next steps?"
Mo He Du was a bit awkward for Xiao Rui to call him Patriarch Mo. The name of the grassland was different from that of the Central Plains. His name was Mo He Du, but his surname was not Mo. But he is his sponsor at this time, so he can't afford to offend him, so he can scream if he wants to.
Showing an honest and honest expression, Mo Heduo said: "Dangre is to develop herding with peace of mind and stabilize the newly acquired territory and population. With the strength of the medium-sized tribe, the tribe will be much better off in the future, and no one will dare to provoke it easily. "
Xiao Rui joked: "No one provokes you? Not necessarily? Don't you have a large tribe above you? In this world, the jungle eats the strong, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. As long as it is not the highest position, who dares to say that he is truly Are you safe? Chief Mo, do you dare to challenge for a better position? I think you can be the Khan of the Western Turks."
What? ? ?
Mo Hedu sat down on the ground with a plop, his mouth was a little dry, Khan? I don't think I've thought about it.
Xiao Rui smiled and pulled up Mo Hedu, dusted him off with his own hands, and encouraged: "Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. The Western Turks are now leaderless and civil strife continues. How many casualties will it take to achieve peace and stability? ?”
This... Mo Heduo seemed unable to answer.
Xiao Rui continued: "Since Patriarch Mo has the ambition to protect the people of his tribe, why not broaden his horizons? Most of the people in the Western Turks are poor herdsmen like your tribe. If you can be the Khan of the Western Turks, Is it possible to protect all the people of the Western Turks? There is an old saying in the Central Plains: He who has the world in his mind can rule the world! Patriarch Mo, a man of great character, you must not miss the opportunity before it comes again, do you want to consider it and give it a try?"
Give it a try? Protecting the people of the entire Western Turkic grassland, do you rule the world? Mohe Duo's breathing quickened.
