Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth the huge prairie coalition
Liu Ji, with Mo Dao Bing and five cavalry brigades of the Guards, arrived at Xinning City, the prefecture of Puzhou, Beiting Protectorate, on May 10, 432, of the Beiting Protectorate. At this time, the main forces of the Grassland Legion and Beiting Legion gathered inside and outside the Xinning City.
Puzhou originally belonged to the Xianbei grassland, with an area of about 500,000 square kilometers, while Xinning City is a city just built last year. Currently, the entire Puzhou only has Xinning City, with a permanent population of less than 150,000.
According to the news obtained by Heishuitai, a large number of cavalry troops of the Xiongnu, Khitan, Xirong, Donghu, Tiel and Wuhuan tribes were gathering in the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, so the Polu Army also gathered all its troops into Puzhou, and the territory of the Xianbei tribe was north of Puzhou.
On the evening of May 10, in a conference hall in the governor's office of Xinning Chengzhou, Liu Ji met Su Lie, the commander of the Grassland Legion, Di Qing, the commander of the Beiting Legion, and Huo Guang, the governor of Pu and Zibo.
Liu Ji asked the three people in a deep voice: "In addition to the troops brought by the Grand Commander this time, how many troops have our Polu Army gathered in Xinning City at present?"
Su Lie, the commander of the Grassland Legion, immediately said: "Report to the lord, our Grassland Legion has eighteen cavalry brigades and six infantry brigades, all of which have arrived in Xinning City."
Di Qing, the commander of the Beiting Legion, followed and said, "Lord, our Beiting Legion has sixteen cavalry brigades and eight infantry brigades, and they have also come to Xinning City."
The Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion are only preparing to draw these troops to fight the coalition forces of the seven powerful clans of the grassland. The other troops of these two legions also need to be stationed in other prefectures and counties of the Beiting Protectorate. There are a total of fourteen states in the Beiting Protectorate. It is impossible for the two legions to transfer the troops of the other thirteen states to Xinning City.
Huo Guang, the governor of Pu and Zibo, said: "Lord, the entire Beiting garrison troops also gathered in Xinning City. In addition, there are about 600,000 cavalrymen of various races. After receiving the conscript from our Beiting Protectorate, they also came to Xinning City, and more cavalrymen of various races are also rushing towards Xinning City."
Liu Ji calculated the strength of the Polu Army in Xinning City at this time, nodded slightly and said, "The five cavalry brigades of the Guards are also coming, and there will be more cavalrymen from various tribes to come to Xinning City. This time we can gather at least more than four million troops in Xinning City!"
After pausing, Liu Ji asked everyone in the meeting hall: "How to deal with this coalition of the seven powerful clans of the grassland? What suggestions do you have?"
At this time, in addition to Su Lie, Di Qing and Huo Guang, there were Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Ju Su and Tian Feng, as well as Dian Wei, the commander of Mo Daoping.
Zhang Liang immediately said: "Lord, this time, facing the coalition forces of the seven powerful tribes in the grassland, our subordinates suggested that it is best to adopt a complementary strategy of justice and wonder. In addition to gathering heavy troops to fight the main forces of the seven powerful tribes, our Polu Army should draw some troops to enter the territory of some powerful tribes, which may play the role of besieging Wei and saving Zhao."
As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, the other top civil officials nodded, thinking that Zhang Liang's plan was very good.
Liu Ji agreed and said: "This idea is good. The surprise soldiers we sent will definitely bring a big surprise to some powerful tribes on the grassland!"
Liu Ji then stayed in Xinning City, and more troops continued to gather in Xinning City. On May 25, 432, the Polu Army had already gathered in Xinning City with 18 cavalry brigades and six infantry brigades of the Grassland Legion, 16 cavalry brigades and eight infantry brigades of the Beiting Legion, five cavalry brigades of the Guard Legion, five cavalry brigades of the local legion, 100,000 garrison troops of the Beiting Protectorate, and 2.7 million cavalrymen of various tribes in the Beiting Protectorate, and 208,000 Mo Dao.
Liu Ji brought back more than 184,000 Modao soldiers from the southwest of the Great Jin Dynasty. On the way to Puzhou, Liu Ji found an opportunity to summon all the 24,000 Tang Dynasty Modao soldiers reserved in the system, and restored the Modao soldiers' organization to more than 200,000.
There are still 326,700 Wei soldiers, 36,000 soldiers from the camp, 86,400 Baigan soldiers from the Ming Dynasty and 6,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army. Liu Ji did not rush to summon these more than 400,000 elite soldiers. The reserves in the system mean that he followed Liu Ji. If necessary, Liu Ji could summon these more than 400,000 elite soldiers to the real world at any time.
Originally, Liu Ji estimated that it would be difficult for him to recruit 1.5 million cavalry from various tribes in the Beiting Protectorate. Unexpectedly, he surrendered to the grassland tribes of the Polu Army. Because the various policies that the Polu Army implemented in the Beiting Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Protectorate’s Recruitment Order, each tribe sent out the vast majority of adult men. In a short time, 2.7 million cavalrymen of various tribes were gathered in Xinning City, Puzhou.
In this way, the Polu Army gathered in Xinning City to 5.33 million, and the entire Xinning City was surrounded by the Polu Army's barracks.
At the same time, a larger army was gathered in the Xianbei royal court north of the Yinle Mountains.
On the evening of May 25, in a huge felt bag in the Xianbei royal court, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke held a wine glass and loudly said to Luantimao, the Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie, the Xirong Khan Arishan, the Donghu Khan Ishag, the Tiel Khan Jirimu and the Wuwan Khan Zhaonastu, the Wuwan Khan, the Xianbei royal khan again, the Xianbei royal khan, the Xianbei royal khan, the Xianbei royal khan, the Xianbei royal khan, the Murong Ke, the Xianbei tribe, and the Xianbei royal khan, said: "I didn't expect that a few years later, the great khans will gather again. Come! I, Murong Ke, represent the entire Xianbei tribe, I wish you all the great khans a cup!"
After the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one go. The other six Khans followed and each had a drink of wine.
After putting down the wine glass, the great khan of the Western Rong tribe, Arishan sighed and said, "It's a pity that the gathering was missing from the Wuheng tribe Shurha and the great khan Mugulu of the Rouran tribe."
The Khan Mugulu of the Rouran tribe has died, and the entire Rouran tribe has been annexed by the Polu Army. Although the Khan of the Wuheng tribe Shurha is still alive, the strength of the Wuheng tribe has been severely damaged. Most of the tribes of the Wuheng tribe have also been annexed by the Polu Army. Now the entire Wuheng tribe has only a population of less than 700,000.
Because the Wuheng tribe did not join any of the Xiongnu tribes, Khitan tribes, Xirong tribes, Donghu tribes, Tiel tribes and Wuwan tribes, the Wuheng tribes did not join the coalition forces of the seven powerful tribes in the grassland this time.
The Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie immediately said in a deep voice: "It is to avoid the Wuheng and Rouran tribes in the future that our seven strong grassland tribes gathered here again. This time, we must completely defeat the Polu Army no matter what, so that the entire grassland will be calm!"
Luanti, the Great Khan of the Huns, nodded and said, "It is true that we can't let the Polu Army continue to grow. This time, Dayuan took the lead. Moreover, Dayuan promised to send more than 8 million troops this time. I believe that the Polu Army should be doomed this time. This time, this time, my Khan brought two million cavalry from our Huns. The Yiqu tribe, Xubu tribe, Lizhi tribe, Suli tribe, and Hulu tribe sent a total of 800,000 cavalry, and the 38 small tribes of our Huns. In total, 400,000 cavalry were sent, including a total of 3.2 million cavalry. This time, our Huns will definitely fight the Polu Army to the end!"
This time, the Xiongnu tribe spared no effort to eliminate the major troubles of the various tribes on the grassland. As the strongest tribe on the grassland, the Xiongnu tribe currently has about 3.8 million cavalry. This time, half of the Huns Khan Luantimao was brought in. In addition, 1.2 million cavalry were forcibly recruited from various affiliated ethnic groups attached to the Huns. Only from the Yiqu tribe, the Xubu tribe, the Lizhi tribe, the Suli tribe and the Hulu tribe, these five nomadic peoples that belong to the third echelon on the grassland, they recruited 800,000 cavalry.
The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke then said: "This time, our Khan has mobilized 1.5 million Xianbei cavalry. The Chiluo, Hexi, Yuzhen, Guhun, and Dingling clans who are dependent on our Xianbei also have 600,000 cavalrymen arrived at the Xianbei royal court. In addition, the eighteen small tribes who are dependent on our Xianbei have also sent about 200,000 cavalry. This time, our Xianbei people have gathered a total of 2.3 million cavalry troops!"
The Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie continued: "This time, our Khan brought 1.3 million Khitan cavalry. The Baiyin tribe, Limo tribe, Yilu tribe, Kulu tribe, and Shatu tribe who depended on our Khitan sent a total of 500,000 cavalry. In addition, the twenty-six tribes who depended on our Khitan also sent a total of 200,000 cavalry. By this calculation, our Khitan tribe gathered a total of 2 million cavalry this time!"
As the third strongest tribe on the grassland, the Khitan tribe currently has about 2.3 million cavalry. Most of this time were brought to the Xianbei royal court by the Khitan khan Yelu Dilie. The Shatu tribe who is now dependent on the Khitan was originally dependent on the Wuheng tribe. After the strength of the Wuheng tribe was greatly damaged, the Shatu tribe changed to the party, abandoned the Wuheng tribe, and defected to the Khitan tribe.
The three most powerful nomadic peoples on the grasslands, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan, originally promised only to Dayuan to send more than 1.5 million troops, but now the actual number of troops sent by these three tribes is far higher than the original promise to Dayuan. Even Heishuitai, which defeated the enemy army, underestimated the forces sent by these three tribes.
The reason why the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes spared so much was entirely because the Polu Army touched the dominance of their three tribes on the grassland. The three tribes all hoped to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the major concerns of the Polu Army, the various tribes in the grassland, and at the least they would drive the Polu Army out of the grassland.
In addition to the three tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan, the Western Rong clan Khan Arishan brought 800,000 Xirong cavalry this time. The Yue Mo tribe and Liji tribes who depended on the Western Rong sent a total of 200,000 cavalry. The twenty-three small tribes who depended on the Western Rong also sent a total of 200,000 cavalry, and the Western Rong tribes sent a total of 1.2 million troops.
A total of 500,000 cavalry from the Donghu tribe and its affiliated ethnic groups came to the Xianbei royal court, Tiel and its affiliated ethnic groups, as well as the Wuwan tribe and its affiliated ethnic groups, each of which had 500,000 cavalry from the Xianbei royal court. Now the total strength of the cavalry from all ethnic groups gathered in the Xianbei royal court has reached 10.2 million.
Luan Timao, the Huns Khan, immediately proposed to the Khan of the other six tribes: "The Polu Army occupied a large amount of land on the grassland. After defeating the Polu Army, the land occupied by the Polu Army and other spoils occupied by the Polu Army can be distributed according to the number of troops sent by each tribe. What do you think?"
The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke, the Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie, the Xirong Khan Arishan, the Donghu Khan Ishag, the Tiel Khan Jirimu and the Wuwan Khan Zhaonastu, then looked at each other. According to the current number of troops sent by various tribes, the Huns' tribe will gain the greatest benefits after defeating the Polu Army. However, the Huns' Khan Luanti made this proposal. After all, the Polu Army is not a soft persimmon. The more troops sent by any tribe, the greater the losses may be.
The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke nodded and said, "The distribution plan of Yelu Dahan is very reasonable. We Xianbei people agree with this post-war interest distribution plan!"
Next, the other five great khans also spoke out, expressing their agreement with the post-war interest distribution plan proposed by the Huns Khan Luantimao.
The Xianbei Khan Murong Ke then said: "According to the information obtained by our Xianbei people, the Polu Army has gathered millions of troops in Xinning City, which was just built last year, and a considerable number of them are the cavalry of the grassland tribes that depend on the Polu Army. It seems that the Polu Army already knows that our seven powerful tribes have formed an alliance with the Dayuan Kingdom and the Qingyi people!"
Luan Timao smiled and said, "Our seven clans have gathered more than 10 million cavalry. So what if the Polu Army knows about the alliance? This time, our seven clans directly gathered tens of millions of cavalry and rushed straight to Xinning City. As long as the Polu Army in Xinning City is eliminated, in the entire Beiting Protectorate of Jin State, there should be no more troops left in the Polu Army!"
The Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie nodded and said, "Last time, our coalition forces of all ethnic groups on the grassland were defeated by the Polu Army and divided the troops. This time, our seven tribes have more than tens of millions of troops to fight the Polu Army to determine the world!"
The Khan of other tribes had no objection to the decisive battle with the Polu Army in Xinning City, so the combat plan of the seven powerful tribes on the grassland attacking the Polu Army was decided this way.
