"Tiehe, gather all the Tuoba people together!"
While Zhao Tiehe was still shocked by the possible impact of the extraordinary layout, another decree from Jiang Li was also conveyed.
"Calling them all together?"
Zhao Tiehe raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to kill all the Tuoba tribesmen and frighten the tribes in Beimang?"
Unlike the Great Zhou Dynasty, Beimang did not have a fixed city. The Great Zhou army penetrated deep into the wilderness. Even if they captured Beimang tribal camps, they could not occupy them for a long time.
If all the captured Beimang soldiers, civilians, women and children were taken away, the marching speed would be greatly reduced, and the distance to the border of Dazhou would be too long.
Not only must we always be on guard against riots by the prisoners, but we must also worry about the Beimang army chasing after them.
Letting go of them all is even more impossible.
The ruthless people are tough, and once the captives are freed, they will naturally regroup, making the Zhou army vulnerable to enemies from one front to the next.
After suffering many losses, the Zhou army had a tacit understanding when they entered the wilderness again.
If the conquered tribes could not safely move to the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, they could only be massacred.
Although cruel, it is the only choice.
Zhao Tiehe read a lot of relevant records in the Military Governor's Mansion, and then he guessed the meaning of Jiang Li's actions.
Although it is difficult to cut women and children with the knife in his hand, if his hand is weak, he may die in the hands of these women and children in the next moment.
In the wilderness, any child who can pick up a knife may go on a rampage and kill someone!
"No, I want to recruit these Beimang cavalry!"
Jiang Li stood up and looked through the entrance of the camp at the Beimang cavalry not far away who was ordered to kneel down by Sergeant Da Zhou.
No matter how ferocious the tiger or wolf is, they will still be afraid of the hunter's whip and steel fork.
Beimang and Dazhou have been enemies for generations. There is no natural blood and hatred, but they are just coveting and greedy for survival resources.
The eight royal families seem to be monolithic, but they all have their own plans and considerations.
If they could really unite together without any selfish motives, it would have been impossible to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty eighty years ago.
In the battle at Tianjian Gorge eighteen years ago, Beimang could not have been defeated so miserably.
"What are you talking about, recruiting these reckless soldiers? How is this possible?"
If anyone else had said this, Zhao Tiehe would have laughed out loud at the other person's innocence and cuteness.
It has long been a consensus in Kyushu that the wild people are brave and tough, not afraid of life and death, and are like wolves by nature.
The Zhou army had just killed 40,000 of their tribesmen, how could they switch sides and submit?
"Whether you can or not, you still have to give it a try!"
Jiang Li said softly.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Zhao Tiehe nodded and quickly walked out of the camp. Just as Jiang Li said, whether it works or not, there is no harm in giving it a try.
Anyway, the overall situation has been decided. If we really don’t surrender, we can only kill them all!
…
“The dispute between the wilderness and the Middle Kingdom lasted for thousands of years. Regardless of the Great Zhou Dynasty or the former Qin Dynasty, although they invaded the wilderness several times, the people of the wilderness were once wiped out. But just like this vast wilderness, wildfires burned through it, and the spring breeze blew through it. It won’t be long before it grows vigorously again!”
“If we want to truly solve the problem of Beimang, we must first fully incorporate the wilderness into our territory, use materials from China to make up for the lack of the wilderness, relocate the people of the Zhou Dynasty, and achieve true integration.
The second was to divide and rule, completely dividing Beimang into several kingdoms, each supporting the Great Khan and confronting each other. "
"Complete unification may be too far, so let's start with differentiation and rule!"
When Jiang Li walked out of the camp, more than 300,000 Mang people and 40,000 Mang cavalry had all been driven into a wide area of the camp.
Looking from a distance, it was dark, with cries, sighs, curses, and noises mixed together.
"Let's meet the general!"
Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, 10,000 Great Zhou sergeants prostrated themselves and shouted loudly, their eyes full of respect, trust and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Ten thousand men fought against the 90,000 Beimang army. Not only did they achieve a complete victory, but the casualties were also unbelievably low.
More than 100 people were killed in the battle, 200 were seriously injured, and 600 were slightly injured.
The number of casualties like this was almost negligible in the era of cold weapons clashes.
Although the martial arts realm and skills of the Dazhou sergeants were higher than those of the Beimang cavalry, the most important thing was the astonishing celestial phenomena that suddenly came before the battle, which directly shattered the momentum and courage of the Beimang cavalry.
Jiang Li's sword attack on Tuoba Lue made the Mang army lose their last hope and completely collapsed.
After this battle, the sergeant's confidence doubled, and the 5,000 new troops became fully mature.
And whether it was celestial phenomena, luck, or Jiang Li's methods, the sergeants' trust in Jiang Li had reached an unprecedented level.
As long as Jiang Li gives an order, they will complete any tasks and instructions without hesitation and unswervingly.
"The commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Devil, he is a devil!"
The eyes of more than 300,000 Beimang Tuoba people also looked at them one after another. Their eyes were filled with anger and hatred, but more importantly, they were filled with fear and awe.
Although they grew up in the wilderness, they are not stupid.
The surrounding Zhou sergeants were full of admiration and admiration for this young general, which proved that this man was definitely the strongest in the army.
The violent winds, heavy rains, earthquakes and other celestial phenomena just now must have been caused by this young man.
They are not afraid of steel swords or iron fists, but they have an innate respect for various natural phenomena.
As a tiny creature, living in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the impact and shock of the soul brought by strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, and earthquakes will be infinitely magnified, all representing the control of heaven and earth over the mortal world.
The awe of the wilderness people towards heaven and earth is engraved in their bones.
As the end of all worship, Father God is the deepest awe and worship in the hearts of all Mang people.
The one who can control all of this is either the son of God the Father, or the most evil demon in the world, the demon who has stolen the power of God the Father.
"I am Jiang Li, the commander of this army. You may not know me, but you must know my mother. In the battle of Tianjian Gorge eighteen years ago, Tuoba Xiongzai died at her hands!"
The wings of the white crane gathered behind him, Jiang Li flew into the sky, his eyes calmly scanned the whole place, and his voice was calm: "The purpose of coming to see you today is very simple, belong to me, or the clan will be destroyed!"
"Jiang Li?"
"I seem to have heard of this name!"
"He is the Qilin son of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said that a Qilin really appears and recruits disciples for the saint!"
"His mother is Princess Tianzhu, the princess of Qin who killed Prince Xiongzai!"
After Jiang Li finished speaking, the entire Tuoba camp began to boil.
No one thought that the young man in front of them was the son of the Princess of Qin who once killed the pride of the Tuoba royal family and the No. 1 God of War in Beimang.
For a time, the moods of all the Tuoba people became more complicated.
Hatred seems to also have the entanglement and mystery of fate
The two Tuoba leaders fell one after another at the hands of Princess Tianzhu and her son.
Is the Tuoba tribe destined to perish at the hands of this bloodline?
"We are the descendants of Tuoba, the descendants of warriors. The bloodline given to us by our ancestors cannot be surrendered to the Zhou people!"
A Tuoba man stood up and shouted angrily: "Kill us, Tuoba will not surrender to the Zhou people!"
"Tuoba is also the son of Father God. I stand on the wilderness, carrying the fate of the entire Mangzhou, and representing the way of heaven in this world!"
Jiang Li's eyes were bright, and a strong and confident aura surged from his body. He seemed to be truly integrated with this world and living in harmony.
His voice was loud and clear, and he said: "Mangzhou has been a land of cold and hardship since ancient times. The Mang people have struggled to survive for endless years. They can never escape the cold, war, suffering, and hunger. Are these days going to continue? Your descendants, And countless generations of Tuoba people in the future are willing to endure this endless conquest and suffering?
"Submit to me, and I can guarantee you that within a hundred years, there will be no more suffering for the Tuoba people. I will lead you to complete the great achievements that the Tuoba people have never completed, establish a khanate, and carve out the territory for kings!"
"What does he want to do? Help us establish the Khanate?"
"My ancestors of the Tuoba Tribe originated from the Middle Ages, but the tribe continues to this day, but no leader has ever been promoted as Khan by the eight royal families!"
"The people of Zhou are cunning, how can you believe his words!"
"But he seems to have really been approved by God the Father, otherwise why would the heavenly phenomena move because of him!"
"Maybe he's the devil!"
"Don't forget the hatred. Prince Xiongzai was also killed by his mother!"
Among the Tuoba people, noisy discussions began to sound.
Although voices of opposition and doubt prevail, many people are still shaken.
For the wild people, they have long been accustomed to fighting with iron and blood, and tribal annexation and integration can be seen everywhere.
They may be enemies of life and death in the morning, but they may be gathered around the same campfire at night.
Many people were not originally members of the Tuoba tribe, but were merged and annexed from generation to generation.
For many people, living in a large tribe is a matter of pride and a refuge.
"May I have your name?"
Jiang Li was not surprised by the reaction of the Tuoba people. His eyes fell on the Tuoba man who stood up alone and objected loudly.
"Tuoba Ge, I am Tuoba Xiongzai's clan brother. I personally experienced the Battle of Tianjian Gorge eighteen years ago. Hundreds of Zhou people died under my sword!"
Tuoba Ge sneered and said: "My head is right here, you can come and get it yourself. Back then, I threw a flying spear and it only took an inch to kill your father Jiang Shirong!"
"very good!"
Jiang Li nodded and said: "From today on, you are the king of the Tuoba clan. Not the leader of this Tuoba clan, but the king of the entire Tuoba clan. I will make you the number one of the Tuoba clan." As King Khan, half of the wilderness will be your territory!"
"What did you say!"
The cold and fearless smile on Tuoba Ge's face froze instantly. He blinked and did not react for a moment.
Under normal circumstances, if he opposed Jiang Li's intentions in public and once charged and killed Jiang Shirong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, Jiang Li would definitely be furious and kill him on the spot.
Although he died, he was worthy of Tuoba's bloodline and will always be remembered by the tribesmen at the scene.
In the years to come, he will become a tragic hero in the animal skin tents, with his mother murmuring him to sleep.
But what did Jiang Li say?
Do you want to support him to become the first great khan of the Tuoba tribe?
It seems like something is not quite right.
Wait, let me sort it out first.
"Tuoba Ge, I can transform you from the Ten Thousand Masters Realm into a Grandmaster of the Divine Transformation Realm within one year!"
Jiang Li flicked his finger, and dozens of meters of True Yuan Pill turned into golden light and flew out instantly, hitting Tuoba Ge's body.
Wisps of pure Yuan Yang and innate Qi rushed into Tuoba Ge's body from the body's acupuncture points, nourishing his body and strengthening his blood.
Tuoba Ge's physical body, which had been stagnant for a long time and had even begun to decline, actually improved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a dozen breaths, his physical state returned to its peak state seven or eight years ago.
"how did you do it!"
Tuoba Ge opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Li in disbelief.
He could feel that the Yuanyang and innate energy that Jiang Li had penetrated into his body were not fake at all, they were all the true source of power.
"This is the fifth-grade guerrilla heavy armor given to me by Emperor Jing. I will reward it to you today. When I ask the Holy Lord for a formal reward for you, you can wear the purple-gold python armor like Wuhou!"
Jiang Li flicked several items and flew down in front of Tuoba Ge. They were a pair of thick treasure armor with patterns of mountains and rivers, several pages of "The Great Technique of Huangtian Killing", dragon fish meat, and many rare medicines and spiritual fruits. They are all treasures that gold and silver cannot buy.
"This is Marquis Zhenwu's martial arts move!"
Tuoba Ge stared at the pages on the ground, unable to take his eyes away.
The killing moves that Jiang Shirong, the world's number one martial artist, combined with his own martial arts, only had three moves, but they were infinitely better than those inherited from the Tuoba clan's ancestors.
As long as he nods, it's all his!
"Tuoba Ge, the choice has been given to you!"
Jiang Li said slowly: "Lead your tribe and submit to my command. You will become the pride of the entire Tuoba tribe, create glory that the Tuoba bloodline has never had before, occupy half of Mangzhou, and rule the world, or today. Die here, and I will choose another Tuoba Khan from your side!"
Jiang Li glanced at Tuoba Ge and added: "In the future, your name, together with the name of Tuoba Khan, will be remembered by hundreds of millions of Tuoba tribesmen!"
"I……"
Tuoba Ge opened his mouth, but was unable to spit out a complete word.
He is not afraid of death and is willing to return to the embrace of his ancestors in a tragic way.
only……
King Tuoba Khan!
Although Jiang Li only made a verbal promise, no one can predict what the future will really be like.
But what if it really happens?
Even if it fails, the opportunity to advance to the "Brilliant Sky Killing Technique" and the physical realm again is real in front of you.
What's more, even if he refuses, there is no guarantee that no other Tuoba nobles will be willing to surrender.
By then, the martial arts realm and the position of Mang Khan will also be obtained by others.
He will become the laughing stock of all the Mang people.
"Tuoba Ge is willing to submit to the general's command"
After being silent for a long time, Tuoba Ge's heart sank and he knelt down loudly.
"Tuoba Ge has surrendered!"
"The young general of the Great Zhou Dynasty said that he carries the fate of the wilderness, but is it true?"
"The devil or God the Father is walking, who can say for sure!"
"what should we do?"
Seeing Tuoba Ge kneel down was like adding a heavy weight to one side of the swinging balance.
The vibrations and swings in the hearts of the Tuoba people in the camp became more intense.
"Any cavalryman of the Tuoba tribe who can save twenty heads in the battle will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and can move his family to live in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, gain the status of a Zhou citizen, or canonize hundreds of households!" Jiang Li said again.
"Tuoba returns!"
In the camp, 40,000 Tuoba cavalry prisoners turned over and knelt down.
If they could move to a prosperous land and avoid the harsh cold, hunger, and precarious life, how many people would be willing to hold their swords and mount their horses!
"The Tuoba tribe surrendered?"
Shangguan Qingyan, Mo Yunliang, Old Man Tu, Zhao Tiehe and others were shocked beyond description when they saw such a scene.
In the past campaigns against Beimang, the Great Zhou Dynasty also tried to recruit various tribes in Beimang, and the conditions offered were not necessarily worse than those of Jiang Li.
But the results have been minimal.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to repair and expand the Great Wall in the north. Eighty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it would still be invaded by Beimang.
But today, with just a few words, Jiang Li really gathered the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Tuoba Lue tribe to submit.
Although there are indeed conditions and practical influences, there really seems to be an invisible hand of fate behind it, controlling the operation of the world in Mangzhou.
Jiang Li said he carries a state's luck?
Is that really so?
…
"My lord, the Western Region mercenary coalition is stationed in the Chihe Valley. There are dense forests there, and there are plains and fertile fields on both sides of the valley. As long as there is no fire, it will be difficult to detect even if a green falcon flies by!"
Three days later, in the wilderness seven hundred miles away from Tuoba's camp, a team of three thousand knights galloped past amid billowing dust and smoke.
Whether it is Zhou people or Mang people, if they see the composition of this team clearly, they will be shocked and stunned.
One thousand of the cavalry were wearing red armor and carrying halberds and bows. They were obviously sergeants from the Zhou Dynasty.
But the other two thousand people were all wearing armor and hanging swords beside their saddles, which was the uniform of the Beimang cavalry.
Dazhou and Beimang looked at each other as if they were fire and water, and the sergeants and soldiers from both sides merged into one team at the same time. This scene was really unbelievable.
Tuoba Ge, wearing heavy guerrilla armor, rode beside Jiang Li and dutifully introduced Jiang Li to all the information about the mercenaries in the Western Regions.
After leading 40,000 Tuoba cavalry to surrender to Jiang Li, Tuoba Ge knew that he had no way out. There was no other way except to devote all his strength to Jiang Li and realize his ambition to unify all Tuoba tribes.
Two days ago, under the escort of Shangguan Qingyan, Mo Yunliang, Tu Laotou and nine thousand Dazhou sergeants, the women, children, old and weak of the Tuoba tribe moved westward, temporarily moving to Chihe Valley, away from the war between Dazhou and Beimang. area.
Jiang Li took Tuoba Ge and three thousand elite soldiers and rushed to the Chihe Valley to make contact with one hundred thousand mercenaries from the Western Regions.
As long as this army can be successfully recovered, Jiang Li's controllable force will reach 150,000 people.
You know, even the Liangzhou General Camp after receiving reinforcements from Emperor Jing only had a strength of over 400,000.
Jiang Li led 10,000 Zhou cavalry to gather such a terrifying force in less than ten days after leaving Yumen Pass.
Can almost influence the entire battle situation in the northwest of Mangzhou.
No matter what the future battle situation between Da Zhou and Bei Mang will be.
The status of his first achievement is unassailable.
"Who is coming?"
Before Jiang Li and Tuoba Ge saw the entrance to the Chihe Valley, the sounds of gold and iron resounded loudly in the mountains and jungles on both sides. Countless brown-haired, blue-eyed alien warriors holding long bows rushed out on horses from the Western Regions. Mountain forest.
There was an unexpected situation today, so I missed a little update. I will have a small burst at the weekend and make up for it all.
