Chapter 145: Lacasse's Ambition
The Tatar tribe was ordered to move towards Tanzhou, and replaced them to besiege and attack Anqing with the coalition of thirteen small and medium-sized tribes. The largest of the Guoluo tribes devoted all their tribes. All males over 14 and under 60 years old all went on horseback and only gathered 5,000 troops. The other twelve tribes, with the most two or three thousand people, and the least one, had only collected 1,000 people after their lives. This coalition team gathered more than 30,000 people, and was commanded by the head of the Guoluo tribe, Lakath.
As Yan Xiaoyi said, the coalition was composed of a group of poor méng tribes. In the desert, due to their weak power and abundant water and grass, they could never imagine how good pastures were in the desert. They could only try to survive in the desert where most of them were left and left. The living conditions were imagined. This time, Wuda captured Lucheng and advanced to the Central Plains. These tribes were the most happy, because this means that they could follow the majority of the tribes and rush into the territory of Yue people to burn, kill and rob. After the large tribes ate meat, they could always drink some soup. So the leaders of these small tribes cheered and drew all the people they could take out of the tribe, and rushed into the current Luzhou from the desert.
The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. After entering Luzhou, before they could even carry out their dream robbery plan, the Méng royal court issued a ban, leaving all their plans in the empty space. The Méng royal court prohibited all the méng army from robbing the people in the occupied areas.
Although the méng tribe is now unified under the royal court, they are summoned by the royal court to fight according to the previous rules and regulations of the royal court. The royal court will not provide food, grass and soldiers. All of this must be raised by each tribe. These small tribes try their best to arm their soldiers. However, they only brought a small part of the food, and the rest planned to use war to support the war. When they arrived at the occupied area, they could grab it.
But this ban left everything empty. After entering Lucheng, these small tribes fell into trouble. The food and grass were gone. They could not see their soldiers hungry. A small tribe with more than a thousand riders plundered a courage to loot a village. However, the next disposal of the royal court made all the tribes' leaders of small and medium-sized tribes feel scared. The head of the tribe was cut off, his relatives were sent to slaves, and all the tribes were assigned to other tribes. From then on, the tribe disappeared from the desert.
Fortunately, Wuda later discovered these problems and the royal court began to provide food and grass to these small tribes, but the income was only to save their lives. This was too far from their ideals, but he did not dare to disobey Wuda's orders, so he could only live a wronged life with his nose pinched.
But this time it was different. They left Luzhou and were far away from the king's sight. When they arrived in Anqing City, the soldiers who had lived on the tent before, the royal family Corqin tribe, were not there. They were the only ones within a radius of hundreds of miles. The courage immediately became fatter. With the acquiescence of the head of the Guoluo tribe, these small tribes carried out crazy robbery of the villages around Anqing City.
The Guoluo tribe Lakath also had his helplessness. As a subordinate tribe of King Wuda, his own tribe still has enough food and supplies, but it is only enough. He has no extra rations to allocate these poor ministries. But now, these people gathered under his command, and he still has to count on these people to charge for him. He can't drive away a group of hungry soldiers to fight. Anyway, he just needs to strictly order the Guoluo tribe not to participate in the robbery. If the incident happens in the future, the king blames him and pushes all his faults on those ministries. Anyway, the king will not do anything to him. Maybe then the king will kill the tribe leader of the small ministries, and he can also take the opportunity to annex their subordinates and strengthen the strength of the Guoluo tribe!
The heavy snow had stopped. With the north wind day by day, the snow was frozen harder and harder. After these small groups had enough food, they could launch an attack on Anqing.
"Father!" Tuotuo hurriedly stepped into the tent, "You have to take care of it. If this continues, I'm afraid you won't get out of here in the future."
"What's wrong, Tuotuo, what makes you so annoyed?" Lacarthy looked at his only son, with love flashing in his eyes. This son was exactly the same as when he was young. Seeing him, Lacarthy was as if he had seen his young self.
"They, their actions are completely contrary to the strategies of the King and Princess Yaldan. If the incident happens in the future, your father will at least be a ruthless responsibility." Tuotuo looked at his father worriedly.
Lacarthy knew what his son was saying, and said helplessly: "What can I do? They don't have enough food and grass, so they can't let them hungry! Now the king is focusing his energy on Tanzhou and will conquer Tanzhou in one fell swoop in this winter. At that time, I can't let Anqing stand here like this, but to conquer Anqing, we must first let him fill his stomach!"
Tuotuo snorted, "Just fill your stomach, then they robbed food, but now they are killing them all, from one village to another, killing blood, you go out and have a look. There are so many women stolen in those guys' camps. If this continues, can you still expect them to fight? They are all soft-legged crabs."
Lacarthy looked at his son with a smile, "It's nothing, it wasn't the same before, they knew how to keep themselves physically."
Tuotuo shook his head, "Father, the strategy of the king and the princess is to attack the Dayue army and appease the local people. He wants to be in a long-term stability. If this continues, it will only cause hatred of these Dayue people against us in the occupied areas, which will be detrimental to the future."
Looking at my son with satisfaction, the son grew up, thinking about the problem is no longer focused on the present, but after seeing it for a long time. "You are right, Tuotuo, but that is a long time later. What we have to think about now is how to raise the fighting spirit of these guys so that they can yell and charge in the battle, so, for the time being, that's all. Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. You are in Lucheng and often contacting the princess. How can you still satisfy the princess? She is to you..."
Tuotuo sighed, "Father, our Guoluo tribe is weak. Although you have kept me by the king since you were a child and often meet the princesses, how could a small person like me compete with those people? You know, Jamuha and Tinig, those who want to marry Princess Yardan home?"
Lacarthy laughed, "My hero's son is scared and dares not compete with them."
Tuotuo blushed, "I dare not, but there is no possibility of winning at all. Father, you once said that marriages like us are to serve the tribe. So do you think the king values me more or value Tienig and Jamuha more? Instead of being humiliated in vain, it is better to withdraw early and not get involved in this muddy water."
"You don't like Yardan?"
"Yaldan is the most beautiful flower in our desert. How could I not like it?"
"Then you should fight bravely. Son, Yaerdan is different from other royal women. She has the will of her own opinion and ability. Even the king respects him three points. As long as you can gain her favor, the king will never go against her wishes. Son, I have always regarded you as a pride. Our Guoluo tribe is just a medium-sized tribe, but I hope that in your hands, he can become stronger and can compete with Zarchiwuti and Tatar. Flowers do not have a hundred-day red. Why can't we be strong? Maybe just a little external force is needed to become stronger."
"Father?"
"I believe you have also seen that now is the best time for our méng people to rise. The war with the Great Yue will last for a long time. In this process, there will definitely be people who die, tribes decline, but accordingly, there will also be heroes rising in troubled times and tribes taking the opportunity to become stronger. So, why not us? If you can marry Yardan and go home, then with the support of the royal family, with your courage, and with the conspiracy of Yardan, our Guoluo tribe will rise in the evening."
"Yes, father, I will work hard."
"When the battle is over, I will send you into the king's personal guards. With your ability, it is more than enough to be a commander there. You will have more opportunities to contact Yaldan, and Tinig and Jamu Plenary Sessions are committed to being the king's personal guard?" Lakathie laughed, "The key is how you can win Yaldan's heart!"
In the valley, Yun Zhao brought thirty-five horse bandits to leave the valley. The news brought back by Yan Xiaoyi, who returned to the valley, made everyone angry. The méng people were burning and killing, and the people around Anqing City were crying and bleeding. Villages were burning into white land, men were killed, women were robbed, and many families were destroyed overnight.
Thirty-five people were not able to do anything, but the news brought back by Yan Xiaoyi made Yun Zhao see the opportunity. The defenders of Anqing City did not dare to leave the city. The méng people were plundering and vigilance was reduced to the minimum. Now, their number is more than a hundred people, and at least only more than ten people dared to go out to rob. This is the opportunity for Yun Zhao's group of people. Thirty-five people were not able to fight the big army, but your small team of dozens of people was a dish of side dishes for this group of guys who had been fighting for the rest of their lives.
"Kill them all!" Hao Ren said fiercely.
"Kill them all!" Thirty-five horse bandits roared.
Along the foot of Bayankara Mountain, the bandits of Eagle-billed Rock and Horses quietly came out.
"Look, Yun Zhao! In front!" Just in front of them, thick smoke poured into the air. It was a small village with about dozens of households. "There were people robbing there." Yan Xiaoyi shouted. "Roar up and kill them!"
"Wait a minute, it's too late!" Yun Zhao grabbed Yan Xiaoyi, "Look, those dogs are coming out!" Amid the rolling smoke, about dozens of méng riders ran out of the village.
"Brothers, prepare for it and let us give these bastards a surprise!" Yun Zhaoyin said with a calm face and gritted his teeth.!
