The three rules gave them a way to survive, but also gave them a dead end.
But behind these three rules is naked bloody killing.
Because Wu Lin has given up the choice. If he wants to save his family, he must completely rebel against his own power.
Killing soldiers or killing powerful people is not a good choice for an ordinary Tatar.
But if you don't choose...
Facing more than 100,000 Song troops who were waiting in full formation, they had no way to survive.
The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety is a problem that the Han people have not thought about for thousands of years. Now let these rough guys from the grassland come, and they can't even do it.
"Kill!" Some people chose to resist. They knew that if they roared this life, their families and tribesmen would become a thing of the past once they charged.
But if he was asked to grovel and surrender to the Song people, even using the blood and lives of his own kind as a springboard, he couldn't do it.
"Tell me...are these guys who are desperate to fight against us, loyal or selfish?"
Wu Lin looked at the thousands of Tatars being slaughtered in front of him, and couldn't help but smile at the young general beside him.
At this time, the young general just kept swallowing his saliva as he watched this scene, feeling a wave of fright. He felt that the rumors were true. This general was indeed a master at playing with human nature...
"General...the means...the means are brilliant!" The young general could only praise Wu Lin in the end. After expressing his admiration, he did not dare to say anything more.
Wu Lin just chuckled at this.
"This human heart is the most unpredictable, and there are two things that are most helpless. One is greed, and the other is kindness.
Although it is good to seduce greed, there is still room for maneuver, but if he makes this choice for the sake of good intentions in his heart, then he will have no room for maneuver at all...
This means that good is heavier than evil! "
After Wu Lin said these words, the massacre below also ended. Except for the children who did not exceed the wheel and the young Tata women, all of them had been killed.
The guy who resisted first died miserably.
"You don't need to look at a certain family with such hatred. Ask yourselves, why did you die here?
A certain family was very polite to you before the attack, gave you opportunities and time, and even acted according to the rules on your grassland.
This is because a certain family feels that the Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette and cannot do the things of the butcher. At least a certain family cannot do the things of the butcher!
But why are you here? It's because you were abandoned. It's because you could have escaped but some people wanted to use your and your family's lives to delay us!
This is the reason why you stay here! "
After Wu Lin finished speaking, he immediately asked people to leave some dry food and then continued to move forward with the army. He also told these people that they should go to the land of Yanyun to find local officials, and someone would resettle them.
After the army was far away, someone finally couldn't help but ask.
"General, do those people really know how to... go to Yanyun Land by themselves?"
After hearing this question, Wu Lin looked at the person who asked this question as if he were a fool.
In the end, the man who watched had no choice but to bow and salute, and confessed his crime.
"The general knows he was wrong!"
"Of course these guys won't go to Yanyun Land honestly, but that doesn't matter. The rations I left for them can't even be expected to last for three days.
If it doesn't happen at all, they will admit it.
But they were given three days to soothe themselves, and when the rations ran out, they no longer thought about waiting to die.
It's time for them to think about how they can survive.
This is their grassland. If they want to survive...yes, if they want to survive, what do you think they will do? "
At this time, the young general on the side finally understood what Wu Lin's words just meant.
So there is no need to tell them to hate their own tribe and monarch. This is just to give them a reason.
A reason to rob your own people when you want to live!
Between going south and going north, this group of unrestricted guys would easily make a choice. After three days without food, they would have no choice but to attack their own people if they wanted to survive.
And the moment they took action, they became the biggest bandits on this grassland.
"The Song Dynasty did not have the ability to build a city here, build the Great Wall, and completely take this place as its own in a short period of time. It is great to have such a group of people here."
After saying that, the army continued to move forward. This time Wu Lin chose to relax the pressure on the Tata'er tribe again, giving them more space.
At the same time, it also allowed myself to go deeper.
The Tata'er army retreated again and again, and in exchange, Wu Lin's army continued to lengthen its supply route. Some people even began to persuade Wu Lin whether he needed to pay attention to be careful of his retreat being cut off.
However, after Wu Lin slowed down, the Tata'er army also slowed down in order for more old, weak, women and children to evacuate.
There was a tacit understanding between the two sides again...
But this time there is a deep trap hidden under the tacit understanding.
The time goes back to ten days ago, that is, after Wu Lin and Zhang Jun learned that the Tatar tribe had united to massacre their scout station.
Zhang Jun gave Wu Lin enough face in front of the generals, and Wu Lin finally told Zhang Jun the second half of his plan.
"Although the Tata'er tribe is powerful as a whole, it is just a group of united people. Since it is a united force, it is bound to have the problem of disunity.
It doesn't matter whether they will be solved so easily by a certain family. In the eyes of a certain family, their current alliance is just to suppress the opposition.
Those who don’t want to fight to the death with our Great Song Dynasty still don’t want to fight to the death with our Great Song Dynasty.
And the only way to suppress them...is nothing more than threats and inducements.
Wanyan Dan threatened them with Emperor Daojun and the daughter of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and then promised them heavy profits.
But now that the threat has been broken, the inducement is not worth it. It can only be said that someone threatened them with something more important.
The most important things on the grassland are the land and population.
So of course we can figure out what threatens them without thinking too much.
After that, a certain family will launch a large-scale attack, hoping that the general can cooperate and move the army to both sides to cover the general Yang Zheng under a certain family.
If they want to hold back a certain family, that particular family will naturally be able to hold them back. As long as you and I cooperate, Yang Zhengda can bypass the grassland and enter their rear.
Once they launch a surprise attack and kill the powerful people among them, this ridiculous alliance will naturally become a joke.
And we only need to use some means in this process, and chaos will naturally continue on this grassland. When I, the Song Dynasty, return to the army, I can also act as an intermediary.
On the grounds of mediating the conflicts between them, he officially became their master, and sold them weapons and armor midway to fill the gap in strength between them, so that they would continue to fight each other.
We will profit from this, and in a few decades there will no longer be our enemies on this grassland! "
This plan is the most exciting part in Wu Lin's heart, and it is also his long-term strategy.
Now that the time has come, the army is killing them all the way, and the distance between the two sides has been stretched. He has made enough preparations, and the only thing left is to let Yang Zheng take action.
Previously, Wu Lin used Zhang Jun and Wang De as his left and right wings, clearing out a large area of grassland along the way, giving Yang Zheng enough depth.
At this time, Yang Zheng had been galloping for seven days and six nights. Five thousand soldiers and horses had outrun seven thousand horses, and then he arrived at the predetermined place.
"Dismount the entire army, rest on the spot, and launch a surprise attack one day later!"
Looking at the soldiers and horses around them, they had tied themselves to the war horses during this period. They could only sleep on the war horses, taking turns to rest with each other, and eating, drinking and urinating all on the war horses.
Never dismount except to transfer.
They could indeed charge now, but Yang Zheng still gave them a chance to rest while preparing the final things.
"Are everything ready?"
After watching everyone fall asleep almost instantly after dismounting, Yang Zheng also felt a little sorry for these soldiers, but he also found the most special guy in his army.
A Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain.
"General, don't worry, we have prepared all the elixirs. We used the base of the Five Stone Powder from the past and added many Taoist secret techniques. After drinking it, almost all the body's pain is lost, and only the most basic sanity can be retained.
I feel so relaxed that I forget about fatigue and pain.
only...."
"Needless to say what follows, divide the medicine and everyone, including me, will have three pills in hand!"
"I obey my orders..." The Taoist priest saw that Yang Zheng was so decisive and naturally didn't say anything more. He just said one last sentence before he left.
"There is a saying that I still have to tell the general. This medicine is a good thing, but it will have consequences. I have also said it before.
And the medicine is extremely powerful. Once he takes all three pills, this person..."
"If we lose this battle, we won't be able to survive!" Yang Zheng continued to interrupt the old Taoist priest, not giving him a chance to persuade him and letting him choose to shut up completely.
"In this case, the old Taoist priest will retreat!"
After a full day and night, after this period of rest, not only did everyone's body fail to relax, but they all became even more tired.
In the words of doctors, the anger finally surged up at this moment.
However, this is also the best opportunity to take the elixir.
Yang Zheng called the exhausted soldiers Zhao Huan in front of him and said his last words in a hoarse voice.
"See if you have the elixir in your hands? Eat it and then rush down!"
easy to understand.
The soldiers seemed to understand what this meant. After looking at each other, they directly stuffed three red pills into their mouths and then sent them down with their saliva.
When the pill was swallowed, Yang Zheng immediately felt an almost burning heat starting to rise in his lower abdomen.
Then the heat quickly spread to the chest, abdomen, limbs, and even the head.
At this time, Yang Zheng and his army were already blushing. This medicine is indeed powerful!
But the only thing that makes them feel awkward is that a certain part of their body is now as hard as iron...
At this moment, Yang Zheng, who still had a lot of sense left, stared directly in the direction of the old Taoist priest, so hard that the old Taoist priest rolled his eyes and did not dare to look at them again.
"...I...I am a Taoist who is good at Fangzhongshu, and this elixir must have some of that effect.
Besides, you want someone to give you the kind of food that will make you feel so excited after eating it, that you will be strong and forget all your worries and pains.
Isn't this spring... isn't this the medicine..."
At this time, the old Taoist priest was complaining in his heart. The only thing he kept hidden was this problem. On the basis of Wushi Powder, this thing also had the foundation of an aphrodisiac.
So now, these people's bodies may not be that comfortable.
Of course, he was just thinking about this in his mind and did not dare to say it out loud. At this time, Yang Zheng didn't care about talking nonsense to the old Taoist priest, and directly roared at the soldiers under his command.
"Follow me!"
In June of this year, on the grasslands north of the Yin Mountains, a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years appeared among the Tatars.
Legend has it that one day, God sent five thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to appear from behind him and rushed into his army to kill him.
These heavenly soldiers and generals seemed to have no pain. Each one clung tightly to their own horses, charging madly and breaking through one obstacle after another under the constant fighting.
No matter whether they are chopped with swords, axes or arrows, they will not feel any pain or flinch and move forward indomitably!
Nothing can stop them short of cutting off their heads.
But even after killing them, they looked hard when they fell.
It was the first time in hundreds of years that the grasslands lost to the Han people in a cavalry duel, and they completely lost to the Han people.
More than ten leaders were beheaded. General Yang Zheng of the Song Army and all the soldiers and horses under his command were all killed in the camp at the gathering place. Countless old, weak, women and children fled in embarrassment.
The defeated troops spread all over the mountains and plains.
The gathering of the Tatar tribe became a complete joke.
When the news reached Wu Lin's ears, he ignored everyone's surprise and did not give anyone a reasonable explanation.
He roared directly and charged towards the Tata'er tribe. The pursuit lasted for hundreds of miles, and the so-called alliance was completely defeated.
In addition to Wu Lin's many calculations before, the Tatar tribe, which had experienced a sneak attack and failure, refused to join forces again to fight against the Song army. The most important thing was.
In the chaos, no one dared to say that they could be brought together to occupy the territory.
Because these people are now valued by all the leaders of the Tatar tribe.
"Take those panicked guys back to our territory and tell them that their previous tribe... is gone!"
When this order came from the mouth of a Tatar tribe leader, it meant that the Tatar tribe with hundreds of thousands of troops no longer posed any threat to the Song Dynasty.
They became a scattered sand in a dark corner again.
Of the three major battlefields, only Huining Mansion is left.
