Chapter 639: Wang Gu was exterminated, the eight Mongolians
Chapter 639: Wang Gu was destroyed and the eight tribes of Mongolia
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help being shocked!
This Wanggu tribe is naturally not the top existence on the Mongolian grassland.
However, it is by no means a weak tribe! With hundreds of thousands of tribesmen and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, any tribe that wants to devour him in one bite must think about whether it has such an appetite!
In the Battle of Xijing, although the Wang Gu tribe was defeated, Shen Tang deliberately left behind 20,000 elite members of the Wang Gu tribe.
Therefore, Wang Gu’s damage was not serious.
So, which powerful entity actually killed the Wang Gu tribe?
Although Shen Tang came from a later generation and had a clear understanding of the general direction of Mongolian historical development, he could not remember the specific details at all.
Furthermore, because of Shen Tang's arrival, some deviations had already occurred in the original history, so even if Shen Tang wanted to find some traces, he was unable to do so.
However, the only thing Shen Tang can be sure of is that the current Mongolian king has not yet grown up.
To be precise, Genghis Khan should have just been born and is only one or two years old.
Mongolia is similar to Tubo. Although it is collectively called Mongolia to the outside world, it is divided into multiple tribes internally! These tribes are even more independent than those in Tubo!
There are currently eight major tribes in Mongolia!
One is the Gilijisi tribe, which is located on the northwest border of Mongolia and occupies the area around the Nisei River! The second is the Naiman tribe, which is located in the Altai Mountains! , which is distributed in the east-west direction of Lake Baikal.
The Onyi tribe is considered the most powerful among the eight tribes, and therefore occupies the area of Kusubo in central Mongolia.
The Hongjici tribe borders the Kingdom of Jin in the east of Mongolia, and finally the Wanggu tribe is located in the southeast of Mongolia and borders the Xijing Road of the Kingdom of Jin!
The Wanggu tribe is by no means the most powerful among the eight major tribes, but it is by no means easily destroyed.
Under Shen Tang's gaze, Wanyan Hao said in a solemn voice, "Although we won the battle of Xijing, the invasion of the Wanggu tribe and Xixia made Your Majesty wary.
Therefore, after the army withdrew, many detective horses were secretly deployed at the border of Xijing Road to find out information about Xixia and the Wanggu tribe."
"Just a month ago, a big battle suddenly broke out in the territory of Wang Gu's tribe! The battle lasted for more than ten days, and the number of soldiers and horses participating in the battle reached nearly 100,000! In the end, Wang Gu The invaders were defeated and defeated.
Originally, even if such a large tribe was defeated, many people would be able to escape.
However, the force to kill the Wang Gu tribe has obviously been prepared for a long time, and has already deployed a group of cavalry to ambush at the border of Xijing Road!"
"So, most of the remaining strength of the Wanggu tribe has been wiped out."
"A few of our detective horses secretly entered Mongolia to find out the news, but the enemy obviously expected it.
Therefore, none of the exploring horses that entered Mongolia could return safely."
"What we have found out now is only some vague information. It is possible that several large tribes united to destroy the Wanggu tribe.
After all, with the strength of Wanggu's tribe, even if the Onyici tribe came to attack, they would still be able to resist to a certain extent.
What's more, the various Mongolian tribes have always been eyeing each other. No matter who destroys the Wanggu tribe, they will suffer a lot of damage. In this way, other tribes will also be given opportunities.
Therefore, it should not be a tribe taking action."
"Now, what we are worried about is how far the forces against the Wanggu tribe are united! If their alliance is extremely close and they have the strength to unify Mongolia, it must arouse our fear and precautions.
If it's just to deal with Wang Gubu, it's no problem..."
Many of these tribes in Mongolia themselves split from the Jurchen clan.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin knew everything about the power of the Mongolian tribes.
In recent years, these tribes have been scattered and hostile to each other, and they cannot pose a threat to the Jin Kingdom at all.
However, if a unified Mongolia emerges, it will have the strength and capital to challenge the Jin Kingdom.
"Although no further information has been found, His Majesty decided to dispatch some troops to the Mongolian border just in case.
Now that the Song and Jin Dynasties have negotiated peace, there is little chance of war happening in a short time.
Therefore, those who took the initiative were the troops from the southern states."
Shen Tang nodded, "Father-in-law, this Mongolian tribe is a nomadic people. They have a large number of horses and all the people are soldiers. Just like the Jin Kingdom decades ago, they must not be underestimated.
If Mongolia is really unified, then, not to mention the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that all the surrounding countries, including the Song Dynasty, will fall under his iron heel!"
If the original history is to be followed, the Mongols' iron hooves have almost traveled across the entire Eurasian continent and laid down an unprecedentedly huge empire. No country is Mongolia's opponent at all! Therefore, there is no fear of such a force. Not an exaggeration.
"If we are divided for a long time, we will unite, and if we are united for a long time, we will divide! If there are no accidents, the unification of many Mongolian tribes in the future is almost certain.
However, we can delay the arrival of this time as much as possible and be as fully prepared as possible to welcome the arrival of this behemoth!"
"For Mongolia, we should focus on differentiation and suppression as a supplement, and use tricks to make their various tribes suspicious of each other and compete! Even a short-term alliance will have their own agendas. Only in this way will they not pose a threat to the Jin Kingdom!"
Wanyan Hao was startled by Shen Tang's words. He did not expect that Shen Tang was afraid of Mongolia to this extent.
"Although Mongolia is powerful, it cannot be invincible!"
Wanyan Haohu asked.
Shen Tang shook his head. This Mongolia is like a cheating nation. It is impossible to treat it with common sense. "Father-in-law, believe me, when Mongolia becomes stronger, no matter whether it is the Jin Kingdom or the Song Dynasty, it will never be an opponent." .
At least not now! Therefore, Mongolia must not be allowed to unify easily!"
"Um!"
Wanyan Hao nodded thoughtfully, "Then I will report your statement to His Majesty. I think your Majesty will make a decision!"
"Dinner is ready, haven't you two finished chatting?"
A voice came, and the door of the study room was opened, and Wanyan Yue and her daughter walked in!
Shen Tang looked outside, and only then did he realize that it was already dark. No wonder he came to patrol!
"Haha, my husband-in-law and I haven't seen each other for a long time, just chatting!"
Wanyan Hao said, "Xian son-in-law, let's eat before we leave.
