Chapter 1386 Yi Di is rude(1/2)
The three hundred horses that Tuoba Liwei gave to Karasuma King Kuxian were indeed good horses and could run very fast.
If the only opponent was the Kaigui tribe, even if he fell into Dou Bin's scheme, with the elites of the tribe and the good horses sent by Tuoba Liwei, Ku Xian would have a good chance of escaping.
Unfortunately, when the elites of his clan led him out of the encirclement, they desperately discovered that there was actually another encirclement outside the encirclement.
Moreover, judging from the horses and equipment and weapons, the group of people who had been waiting outside for a long time were even far superior to the tribesmen who were fighting with him.
At that moment, Ku Xian finally understood:
With such a capable man, no wonder Lord Dou Bin is unwilling to succumb to Tuoba's meager strength.
It's just that there is no Luhui tribe. When did it grow to this extent?
What made Ku Xian even more confused was:
Lord Dou Bin's arrangement does not look like it is to deal with himself. Could it be that it is to deal with Tuoba Liwei Kehan?
I just happened to break in...
With all kinds of questions, when Ku Xian saw Dou Bin again, he was no longer as brave as before the battle, but instead lay on the ground respectfully:
"The defeated general Ku Xian came to see Lord Dou Bin."
Ku Xian's move caught Dou Bin by surprise.
But soon, he reacted again and couldn't help laughing:
"Kuxian, are you convinced?"
"How dare I refuse to accept your lord's power?"
I dare not be dissatisfied. How can I be dissatisfied when I use a battle to deal with Tuoba's meager strength?
General Zhendong, on the other hand, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that Dou Bin came to report the matter in person. His first reaction was:
"Could this be a fake surrender?"
After all, he was the vanguard officer sent by Tuoba Liwei. He surrendered on the spot after being beaten. Isn't this too quick?
Although the barbarians were rude, they treated them as if they had come specifically to surrender, which made people a little uncomfortable.
When Dou Bin heard this, he knew General Zhendong's concerns and was worried that General Zhendong would suspect him of being greedy for merit. He smiled and explained:
"What the general doesn't know is that life in the desert is difficult. In bad years, food and clothing are insufficient. The elderly, sick and disabled members of the tribe cannot be a drag on the tribe. They can only leave the tribe, find a place of their own, and resign themselves to their fate."
"Therefore, in the desert, only the strong can survive. There are many tribes like wild beasts, and they only obey the strong. Naturally, they are not as polite as those in the Central Plains."
"Not to mention Ku Xian. Although he is favored by Tuoba Li WeChat, he is Lord Karasuma and is not even a Xianbei person. Therefore, the Karasuma tribe he leads is just one of Tuoba's external members of Xianbei."
"In this battle, all the elite members of the Kuxian tribe were lost. Even if he returns to Tuoba Liwei, he will still be in trouble. If Tuoba Liwei is more ruthless, he might annex his tribe sooner or later."
Of course I know Yi Di don’t follow etiquette, but is this the point?
General Zhendong glanced at Dou Bin and asked softly:
"Kuxian's people are still among the Tuoba Xianbei people, right?"
The implication is that you believe that Ku Xian abandoned his own people?
Moreover, for General Zhendong, it doesn’t matter whether Ku Xian surrenders or not:
I have led my troops to approach Tuoba Xianbei's headquarters less than thirty miles away. I still need to care about the thoughts of a foreign tribe in Tuoba Xianbei. So, am I not a white-collar soldier?
Dou Bin is a mature man, and he can roughly understand what General Zhendong means just by listening to his tone.
So he quickly said:
"General, the barbarians are rude and have no regard for family and country. As long as you have soldiers and horses, why worry about losing your clansmen?"
Women's livestock, cloth and silk, although their shapes are different, are all different types of wealth.
This sentence is not only applicable to the grasslands, but also applies to the Central Plains.
Of course, the Central Plains is more polite, so there are many things that need to be covered up a little.
Therefore, some animals in the Central Plains actually envy the simplicity and roughness of the grasslands in certain matters.
Regardless of ancient times, from the Duke of Qi Zhuang and Duke Xiang of Qi to Chen Linggong in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the stinky men, dirty men in the Tang Dynasty, Mi Tai in the Song Dynasty, confusion in the Yuan Dynasty, slovenliness in the Ming Dynasty, and clear noses, how can anyone be clean?
It's just like this at the top, and it'll be even worse at the bottom.
In comparison, the men riding horses on the grassland seemed much more honest and less frivolous.
You can do whatever you want, without any pretense.
As long as I regard your wife as my wife, then she is my wife.
As long as I regard your son as my son, then he is my son.
For this, both Borji Jin and Temujin have to give a thumbs up.
Even in later generations, Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, which are known as the civilized world, hey!
What is cover-up?
It’s obviously an industrial chain!
Why cover it up?
Anyway, I don’t know how AIDS came about.
Not to mention that the transmission route is very clear and theoretically it is not difficult to prevent and control, but in reality it can spread widely.
Therefore, although Dou Bin's words may sound a bit cold and ruthless, they also tell a cruel fact:
On the grassland, those with strong soldiers and horses can be called Kehan.
If the big Han provides a little more material support, then it will be a big disaster. Why worry about not having any clansmen?
Of course, this reason alone will definitely not convince General Zhendong.
I only heard Dou Bin continue to say:
"The general is brave enough to outmaneuver others, but his subordinates are all tigers and wolves. Tuoba Xianbei does not know where God's will is. If he wants to go against heaven, he will surely exterminate his clan."
"However, the outside of the Great Wall is no better than the outside of the Great Wall. There are no cities in the wilderness, and people are like birds and beasts, migrating without limit. After the general defeats Tuoba and becomes weak, if he is not careful, his race will scatter in all directions."
"So this time, the best strategy is to win over people's hearts. Although Ku Xian is not a relative of Tuoba, he is deeply respected by Tuoba Liwei and is quite famous among the Tuoba tribe."
"If we can get help from this person, there will be Tuoba Desert Khan Tuoba Luguan inside the Tuoba tribe, and there will be Kuxian outside the tribe, all of whom will help the general."
"When the time comes, Tuoba Xianbei, whether inside or outside, will be under the general's control!"
After hearing this, General Zhendong's expression changed slightly.
With the Tiger Cavalry and the Hu Cavalry Yi Cong, and in a place like the grassland that is most suitable for cavalry operations, General Zhendong is confident that he is not afraid of anyone.
But there are no fences in the desert, let alone sieges.
Defeating Tuoba Xianbei is one thing, but being able to gather the tribesmen together and prevent them from fleeing is another.
That's why this time, Tuoba Desert Khan, the eldest prince of Tuoba Xianbei, was brought here.
As for subduing Tuoba Luguan, that was even more of an unexpected surprise.
All in order to gather as many people as possible after the war.
But there are dozens of tribes in Tuoba Xianbei, large and small. With just these two people, General Zhendong naturally has no extravagant hope to capture the entire Tuoba Xianbei without even landing.
So Dou Bin's words at this time finally made General Zhendong tempted.
General Zhendong rubbed his slender fingers subconsciously:
Hmm, how much labor does it cost now?
The wife of the CEO of Dahan Labor Company has always been the CEO's virtuous wife.
If Dou Bin talked to her about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and educating the barbarians, General Zhendong would probably not be very interested.
Even if they are interested, are the soldiers coming all the way here just to talk morality to the barbarians?
Of course, it is not impossible to be moral, but there is something to be said for how to do it.
But if we talk about how to receive more Hu tribesmen (labor), then General Zhendong will be very interested.
Not only am I interested, but I am very interested.
"How could Ku Xian have such a reputation outside Tuoba Xianbei?"
Dou Bin replied affirmatively:
"Among the tribes outside Tuoba and Xianbei, the ones led by this person can be ranked first."
——
Ku Xian led the army to fight Dou Bin, and soon news came back from the front.
However, the news that came back left Tuoba Liwei a little confused.
First, someone said that Master Ku Xian had personally led his elite troops to break through Dou Bin's military formation, and that Dou Bin was about to be defeated.
Then soon there was news that Mr. Ku Xian had fallen into Dou Bin's trick of luring the enemy and was surrounded.
The confusing news made it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
