Chapter 157 Make another big move

Liu Ji had just sighed that he could finally have a safe sleep. Su Lie, who was standing beside Liu Ji, said: "Lou Wang, it has been found out from the mouth of the prisoners that this Loufan army was composed of the Cangxiong Tribe and the Qingyang Tribe. The reason why the Cangxiong Tribe sent troops was because we had destroyed the five thousand-man cavalry teams of the Cangxiong Tribe in Chengyin County before, and the Qingyang Tribe was because the Wuheng Tribe that we destroyed on the grassland not long ago was an affiliated tribe of the Qingyang Tribe."

Zhou Kai, who is familiar with the tribes on the grassland, then said to Liu Ji: "Lord, the Cangxiong Tribe and the Qingyang Tribe are both one of the five tribes of the Loufan tribe. In addition to the tribe where Loufan Khan is located, the clan leader of the other four tribes are the four sect kings of the Loufan tribe. Unexpectedly, we would have provoked the two sect kings of the Loufan tribe all at once!"

Yang Zaixing immediately said indifferently: "No matter what the five major tribes of Loufan, we have destroyed tens of thousands of their cavalry, but the captives alone have captured more than 35,000. According to the lord's method, at least 30,000 cavalry can be recruited. In addition to our current eight cavalry, even if the Cangxiong tribe and Qingyang tribe all formed a large army, our Chengyin army would still destroy them!"

This time, when he attacked the camp of Loufan Army at night, Liu Ji was very satisfied with the Hu cavalry he was recruited. You should know that among the cavalry under Liu Ji, many of them were Loufan, and most of these Loufan were from the Cangxiong Tribe, and the rest were from the affiliated tribe of the Qingyang Tribe. However, the Loufan Cavalry who was recruited last night was not ruthless to people from the same tribe and even the same tribe. It seems that their actions of both kindness and power are still very useful.

However, when he heard Yang Zaixing say that he would recruit 30,000 Loufan cavalry, Liu Ji frowned slightly. It was not that he could not recruit 30,000 Loufan cavalry. Last night, he arrested more than 35,000 Loufan prisoners, and there was absolutely no problem in recruiting 30,000 people from it. However, among the cavalry under Liu Ji, the proportion of Hu people was very high. If 30,000 Loufan cavalry were added directly, Liu Ji was a little worried about the control of the cavalry troops.

Wei Xiaokuan suddenly said to Liu Ji: "Lord, according to the prisoner's explanation, the total coalition forces of the Cangxiong Tribe and the Qingyang Tribe reached 90,000 this time. The Cangxiong Tribe sent three teams of 10,000,000, and five teams of 10,000, as well as 20,000 cavalry from the affiliated tribe, totaling more than 58,000 cavalry. The Qingyang Tribe sent three teams of 10,000, about 32,000 cavalry. You should know that the headquarters of these two tribes had only 6 teams of 10,000 cavalry before!"

Liu Ji's eyes lit up instantly, "Xiaokuan, what's your idea?"

Wei Xiaokuan continued: "Lord, my subordinate personally interrogated the ten thousand men of the Cangxiong tribe, Bilege, and learned from him that in recent years, the Cangxiong tribe has robbed a large number of Jin people in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. Some of the Jin people were resold by the Cangxiong tribe to other tribes on the grassland, and more Jin people still stayed in the Cangxiong tribe as an annoying slave. Now the Cangxiong tribe has only two full teams of ten thousand people left. The most important thing is that the Cangxiong tribe is less than four hundred miles away from the Xishankou. If it is a cavalry, it may only take a day to get from the Xishankou to the Cangxiong tribe!"

"What do you mean is to send cavalry troops to raid the Cangxiong tribe directly?" Liu Ji couldn't help but exclaim at Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Xiaokuan nodded and said, "Lord, this is what my subordinates think! The previous five cavalry teams of 1,000 people were wiped out by us in Chengyin County. This time, the three 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams of 10,000 teams were almost devastating. Even if some people escaped back to the Cangxiong tribe, it would be useless. If we raid the Cangxiong tribe, we only need to defeat the two full 10,000 teams!"

Su Lie next to him said at this time: "Lord, my subordinates think that Brother Wei has a good idea. The Cangxiong tribe would never have thought that our Chengyin Army would go deep into the grassland for nearly 400 miles and raid their tribe's location. This is also because of being prepared and not being prepared, and the chance of success is very high. After all, the more than 70,000 Loufan army was defeated by our Chengyin Army last night."

Zhou Kai said excitedly: "Lord, this is a huge opportunity. If our Cheng Yin Army can take over the Cang Xiong Tribe, we will make a fortune in our Yin Army!"

Liu Ji was also moved after hearing the words of several military generals. What moved Liu Ji the most was the slaves of Jin in the Cangxiong tribe. You should know that Chengyin County needs a lot of population, especially the people of Jin. Once Liu Ji can rescue a large number of Jin people from the Cangxiong tribe, Liu Ji can select young and strong men from them to join Chengyin Army, increase the proportion of Jin soldiers in Chengyin Army, and then recruit 30,000 cavalrymen, and Liu Ji doesn't need to worry about the problem of control.

Although Liu Ji had agreed to the plan to raid the Cangxiong tribe in his heart, he hesitated and said: "Attacking the Cangxiong tribe, all the cavalry must be used and all his strength can be done. However, we have more than 35,000 prisoners, more than 100,000 war horses, and other spoils are piled up like mountains. If all seven cavalrymen were sent to the Cangxiong tribe, what should we do if so many spoils? It would be a bit insufficient to transport these spoils back to Chengyin County, relying on less than 6,000 infantry alone!"

Wei Xiaokuan said: "Lord, there is no rush to attack the Cangxiong Tribe in the past two days. Our seven cavalry can transport the spoils back to Chengyin County with the infantry, and then the seven cavalry will be sent to the Cangxiong Tribe."

Liu Ji asked, "Is it still too late?"

Wei Xiaokuan smiled and said, "Lord, the Cangxiong Tribe would never have thought that our Chengyin Army would attack their old nests. It doesn't matter if it delays a few days. It just can't give the Cangxiong Tribe too much time. After all, the Cangxiong Tribe, as the five major tribes of Loufan, still has some foundation. If the Cangxiong Tribe is given too much time, maybe the Cangxiong Tribe can recover a lot of troops."

Liu Ji touched his chin and asked, "Do you think you need to solve the problem with the Loufan Qingyang tribe?"

Su Lie immediately said: "Lord, the Qingyang tribe is about 500 miles south of the Cangxiong tribe, and the straight-line distance from the Xishankou is more than 600 miles. Moreover, the Qingyang tribe has at least 3 full teams of ten thousand people. The subordinates suggest that we should solve the Cangxiong tribe first. As for the Qingyang tribe, let's study it later!"

Su Lie was embarrassed to say that Liu Ji was not greedy and was just about to raid the Cangxiong tribe, but Liu Ji even thought about the Qingyang tribe.
