Chapter 1350: Squeeze the soft persimmon (Supplement)
Outside Datong City, a group of pursuing Tatars saw Xue Wei and others entering Datong City from a distance, and they all gnashed their teeth in anger.
These Han people are so cunning!
On weekdays, they either directly defend the city, or take advantage of it and immediately retreat back to the city. They rely on defense equipment and firearms to defend the city, and never confront them head-on. The Tatars have the strength to do so.
Used nowhere.
Although they were still angry, they still knew very well that there was absolutely no way that Datong City could be captured by them. After waiting and watching for a while, they could only return to their base and report to the Tatar Khan.
At this time, the Tatar Khan was sitting in the handsome tent with an ugly face.
Mu Tuo sat under the Tatar Khan and carefully looked at his master's face. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and said: "Khan, these Han people are getting better and better as they fight. That Xue Wei is really difficult to deal with."
"Moreover, they can continue to replenish their troops. If they continue to fight like this, I'm afraid they will have to fight with them in Datong in the end."
Tatar Khan had a cold face and gritted his teeth and said: "It's so easy to get through, can't we just go back in such a dejected state?"
Mu Tuo lowered his head and said: "Great Khan, you have forgotten that when we went south this time, we originally wanted to use Yandu as the capital to establish the country. Shanxi Province is just the next best choice. Instead of doing this in Datong, with Xue
If the power and space continues to be wasted, it is better to temporarily withdraw the troops and plot the capital of Yan..."
Tatar Khan looked at Muto suspiciously.
"If our troops command Yandu, Master Zhuli will be defeated immediately. Not to mention whether we can capture Yandu from Master Zhuli, even if we capture it..."
He frowned and said: "Could Shen Qi give up on Yandu? In the end, what we have to face is Shen Qi's army of more than 700,000 or even 200,000 people!"
"Yandu is surrounded by Shen Qi. We are short of food and grass, and all the main forces of the Tatar tribe will be trapped!"
He looked at Muto.
"Did you go behind Ben Khan's back and vote for Shen Qi? How could you say such stupid things?!"
Mu Tuo was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and kowtowed: "Khan, I'm wronged, I'm wronged..."
"What I mean is that the city here in Datong cannot be penetrated and there is no oil and water, but the defense on Zhenren Zhuli's side is empty, and there is a lot of oil and water near Yandu. Now, we don't have to waste time here in Datong, we can go to Yan in Northern Qi.
It is near the capital, whether it is to take some property or bring some people back, it is always good for our Tatar tribe."
"I can't let you, Khan, make this trip in vain..."
The Tatar Khan was amused by his words, shook his head and said: "You people who have studied in school are really hypocritical. Grabbing something is just grabbing something, and it turns into taking!"
After that, he touched his chin and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "The fighting here in Datong still cannot stop. After all, I have made an agreement with Master Zhu Li. I cannot break my promise, but Xue Wugui will only hide in the city. Really
You won’t get much benefit…”
"That's it..."
Tatar Khan squinted his eyes and said: "From now on, some people will be sent out. Whether they are people from Datong, the three guards of Xuanfu, or those near Yandu, as long as money, materials and people are stolen, they will be escorted back to our headquarters immediately!
"
"This trip is not in vain!"
For these nomadic peoples, most of the reasons why they often go south to plunder are not to compete for deer in the Central Plains, but to rob food, clothing, and people.
The reason for grabbing food is because grazing and hunting are too unstable, and it is difficult to preserve meat. When God does not reward food, you can only go hungry. If you don’t want to starve to death, you can only go to the south to grab food.
.
As for robbing the population...
Probably not for the entire Tatar tribe. After all, for the entire Tatar tribe, the more people there are, the less food will be. The purpose of robbing the population is to increase the population of our own tribe. The more people we have in our tribe, the more combat power we will have.
, you can grab more food and come back.
This time, the Tatar Khan was originally very ambitious, thinking that even if he could not establish a state, he could at least seize a large piece of land and feed the entire Tatar tribe.
But now it seems that this idea is still too naive.
Mu Tuo bowed his head respectfully: "The Great Khan is wise."
This Tatar Khan, who was only forty years old, had a map in front of him. He did not look at Muto, but looked at the map in front of him and sighed: "Destiny plays tricks on people."
The Tatar Khan was a British ruler. He successfully unified the entire Tatar tribe more than ten years ago, and his power became increasingly powerful.
Moreover, the times suited him very well.
Because at this time, the two countries of Northern Qi and Southern Chen had been at odds for sixty or seventy years. Up to now, not only had Northern Qi's army been corrupted and its combat effectiveness declined, but the combat effectiveness of Southern and Southern Chen was even more ridiculously low. A huge country could even
Being trapped by tens of thousands of Japanese pirates!
Originally, as the two countries gradually weakened and the Tatars became stronger and stronger, they had a very good chance of finding a suitable opportunity to go south, first destroy the Northern Qi, then swallow up the Southern Qi, and finally dominate the world!
But destiny played a trick on Nan Chen, who had been so weak that he had almost no money left. Suddenly, Shen Qi fell from the sky. In only ten years, he first eliminated the Japanese invasion in the southeast and then established the Huai'an Army!
Especially the latter!
A Huai'an army is now fighting almost the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, and even detached a hand to deal with the Tatar tribe!
Tatar Khan looked at the map in front of him, slowly clenched his fists, his eyes fell on Jiankang, and murmured: "Han people like intrigues."
"One day, Emperor Hongde of Nanchen killed Shen Qi with one blow, and I still had the opportunity to establish a great cause..."
At this time, Mu Tuo had just returned from delivering military orders. He heard these words, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "Great Khan, what if Shen Qi kills Emperor Hongde?"
The Tatar Khan glanced at Muto and snorted.
"Fool!"
"Thanks to you for claiming to be a thorough student of Han Dynasty, given the current situation, the reputation of Emperor Hongde of Nanchen is so great that in the whole of Nanchen, it may only be slightly inferior to that of their founder Taizu, or even comparable to their Emperor Taizu!"
"If Shen Qi dares to move, he will die immediately without a burial place!"
Having said this, the Tatar Khan touched his palms and said: "I only hope that they can separate their monarchs and ministers, so that I can still see the decline of Nanchen with my own eyes in my lifetime..."
Mu Tuo lowered his head and thought for a while: "Great Khan, should you send someone to provoke their monarchs and ministers..."
The Tatar Khan snorted: "Why are we still needed? Those people surnamed Zhao in Yandu have probably done this a long time ago. They wish they could say 71,000 bad words to Emperor Nanchen in one day."
"It's useless for now."
The Great Khan sighed: "When you start a business, even if you are a middle-aged man, you can help and trust each other with your own heroes. What's more, Emperor Hongde is definitely not a middle-aged man."
"According to what he has done over the years, this little emperor ascended the throne at the age of ten."
The Tatar Khan said to himself: "He is a very thoughtful emperor."
"Muto."
Mu Tuo was startled and quickly lowered his head: "I'm here."
"You go to Yandu again and tell Emperor Zhao that the fight here in Datong can't go on and Xue Wei can't hold on. There's nothing we can do. In addition, we're running out of food and grass, so I'm going to retreat."
"Unless Yandu provides us with military supplies and corresponding money and grain, I will return to the outside of the customs next month."
Mu Tuo lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his head: "Khan, Emperor Zhao is probably going crazy right now. If I go over and say something like this at this time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Tatar Khan seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Afraid of death?"
Mu Tuo lowered his head and swallowed: "Great Khan, I am not afraid of death, I am just afraid of missing out on the Great Khan..."
"rest assured."
Tatar Khan said slowly: "At this time, as long as Zhao Kai is not completely crazy, no matter how aggrieved or angry he is, he will not do anything to you."
"You won't deny my conditions."
The strong man Khan stood up and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.
"The Han people have a saying, which is called pinching a soft persimmon."
"Of course the persimmons need to be soft to pinch."
