Chapter 438 Being a dog is an honor
"Before is the territory of the Miao'e tribe, with a population of three thousand tents."
Cao Wei, Li Guo and Liu Zongmin led troops into the territory of the Dangxiang people and conquered the barbarian tribes along the way one by one.
Li Guo asked, "What is a tent?"
"Dangxiang tribe, the people of the people are all in one place, and the man is a fifteenth man, and the second man draws one army. Therefore, the Dangxiang tribe is almost all soldiers, and the soldiers are strong and powerful. I have saved the life of the leader of the Miao'e tribe, and he will definitely send troops to help."
With his own strength, Cao Wei dealt with Li Jiqian's Dangxiang tribe, with outstanding abilities and his own way of survival.
Cao Wei disagreed with the Dangxiang people, sought over one faction, and suppressed another faction.
Although Li Jiqian was the leader of the Dangxiang people, not all Dangxiang tribes supported the militant Li Jiqian.
Cao Wei was familiar with the customs of the Dangxiang people and was also kind to many leaders of the Dangxiang tribe, so Li Jiqian and others also felt a headache for Cao Wei.
Li Guo was puzzled: "Dangxiang people, were their ancestors, Xianbei or Western Qiang?"
"Li Jiqian believes that he is a descendant of the Tuoba Xianbei, that is, the descendant of the Northern Wei royal family, but in my opinion, Li Jiqian and others just want to cling to a prominent ancestor. The Dangxiang people are more likely to be descendants of the Qiang people, and even the Qiang people and Xianbei people are the result of the mixed residence of the Qiang people. In short, the division of these tribes in all dynasties was too chaotic, and the historians were too lazy to find out their specific origins. After all, the Xiongnu and Xianbei people disappeared as soon as they disappeared... The Miao'e tribe arrived."
Cao Wei stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
A huge Dangxiang village appeared in front of everyone, and the bald Dangxiang soldiers patrolled the entrance of the village with spears.
When the group of soldiers from the Party Xiang saw a group of Han soldiers coming in full force, they quickly called their friends and gathered at the entrance of the village to prepare for the battle.
“What a steep mountain village.”
Su Dai looked up to the tall village gate and the wooden arrow tower built by the Dangxiang people, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Cao Wei personally came to the entrance of the village: "I am Cao Wei, a Han native, and I want to see your leader!"
"Mr. Cao Wei!"
The soldiers of Dangxiang Miao'e's tribe heard that it was Cao Wei, so they relaxed their vigilance and quickly informed their leaders.
"Hahaha, my old friend!"
A barbarian leader who was also bald appeared, with a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist, wrapped in bear skin around his waist. When he saw Cao Wei, he gave Cao Wei a bear hug.
In the previous battle between the Miao'e tribe and other Dangxiang tribes, Cao Wei helped the Miao'e tribe win, saved the leader of the Miao'e tribe, and was kind to the Miao'e tribe.
As for why Cao Wei helped the Miao'e tribe, it was because the Miao'e tribe, in history, was attached to the Northern Song Dynasty, not Li Jiqian.
The barbarian leader almost cut off Cao Wei, which shows his brute force.
"Why did you suddenly visit? It seems that you have figured it out and are willing to marry my daughter?"
The leader of the barbarian tribe let go of Cao Wei and wanted to recruit Cao Wei as his son-in-law to Miao'e tribe.
Cao Wei smiled bitterly: "I still like the women of the Han family."
"The girls in our tribe have the strength to fight and have great strength in the children they give birth to are even more powerful. How can they be worse than those women who only know how to do things? Isn't it great if you marry my daughter and be a mountain king here?"
The barbarian leader pretended to be dissatisfied.
"No, I have a big thing to do, and I need your troops to help."
Cao Wei was straightforward and directly pointed out his purpose.
"what are you up to?"
"Destroy Li Jiqian."
"Li Jiqian conquered most of the Dangxiang tribes. It's not easy for you to overthrow his rule."
"So I borrowed an elite soldier."
Cao Wei pointed to Li Guo and Liu Zongmin, including more than a thousand soldiers, who were elite soldiers of the old camp, full of murderous intent.
Cao Wei defected to Zhang Hua and obtained an elite army to intimidate the barbarians. In addition to the prestige he had accumulated, he recruited these Dangxiang Qiang tribes and had a greater grasp.
Sure enough, the leader of the Miao'e tribe was shocked when he saw Li Guo and Liu Zongmin's elite troops: "Are you, have you defected to other people?"
"It is. Li Jiqian is fighting with this person. If we recruit soldiers from the Qiang, attack Huanglong and destroy Li Jiqian, what's the difficulty? Li Jiqian, Li Deming, and Li Yuanhao have abused the Dangxiang people and used military force to destroy them. This is God who wants to destroy them."
"I owe you a life, I'll sacrifice this time!"
After the leader of the Miao'e tribe understood what was going on, he chose to rely on Cao Wei, who had prestige.
"I have a population of 3,000, including 5,000 strong men. According to the ratio of two men who were two Dangxiang, 2,500 troops can be sent."
"In order to distinguish between enemies and us, you changed your name to 'Zhang Xiong'."
Cao Wei gave the leader of the Miao'e tribe a Chinese name.
This kind of thing was common in ancient times.
Li Keyong was from Shatuo and Li Jiqian was from Dangxiang, but they all obtained the surname Li of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong, whose Han Dynasty was named Yuan Hong.
The reason why the strong Xianbei, Shatuo and Dangxiang disappeared was that they either died in battle or hid their names and were completely integrated.
Cao Wei gave the surname Zhang because of his new lord Zhang Hua.
"Zhang Xiong? A good name!"
The leader of the Miao'e tribe actually couldn't tell the difference between the name, but since it was given by the Han lord, he felt quite honored.
Not everyone is qualified to be a dog.
For example, Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, a native of Shatuo, were honored to think that they were the heirs of the Tang Dynasty. Even the country name was named Tang, which was known in history as Later Tang.
Zhang Xiong summoned the 3,000 tents of the Miao'e tribe, selected 2,500 warriors from them, leaving some strong men to prevent the tribe from being destroyed.
If two people are drawn, they are already quite powerful and powerful.
Huang Taiji's Jurchens were three Dings, one of them wore armor to go to war, and two of them stayed at home for giving birth.
Zhang Hua's territory is far from such an exaggerated proportion.
The reason why these barbarians have a small population and can maintain their local military strength advantage is precisely because of the proportion of military force withdrawals.
Of course, these tribes are also destined to be unable to fight for a long time. If the troops on the expedition are completely wiped out, the strong men of the Miao'e tribe will be reduced by half, which is a fatal blow to a tribe.
"Let's go, let's go to another tribe to recruit soldiers."
Cao Wei conquered several Dangxiang tribes again and again.
Among them, Jialing, the leader of the Ye family tribe, Lang Achang, the leader of the tribe of the Wudao tribe, Mu En, and others, instigated by Cao Wei's prestige and Su Dai's words, rose up and led troops to respond to Cao Wei.
The number of barbarian soldiers recruited by Cao Wei exceeded tens of thousands.
boom!
The leader of a Dangxiang tribe was punched in the chest by Liu Zongmin, a fierce general of the Dashun Army. He flew backwards like a kite that was stripped of strings, rubbing heavily with the earth and collapsing several tents!
The tribe members of the Dayang Tribe saw that the leader with the highest force in the tribe was played with by Liu Zongmin at will. After a few rounds, they were beaten to death by Liu Zongmin. They remained motionless on the ground. They must have been beaten to death by Liu Zongmin.
"set fire."
Cao Wei had a cold look and tone. He burned the Dayang tribe who was unwilling to surrender and then distributed the captured prisoners to several Dangxiang tribes who surrendered.
Several leaders of the Dangxiang were both respectful and afraid of Cao Wei.
Cao Weien gave both power and made these tribes obedient.
If you surrender, you can still divide the spoils together and gain benefits.
If you have a second heart, then the end will be the same as the Dangxiang's Big Sheep Tribe. The leader and a group of nobles were beheaded, and all the tribe members were divided into other tribes, which was equivalent to becoming slaves.
Sometimes, being a dog is also an honor.
This is the thought of a group of Dangxiang tribe leaders who witnessed the destruction of the Big Sheep tribe with thousands of tents overnight.
Cao Wei killed the chicken to scare the monkey, making this group of Dangxiang tribe even more devoted to serving himself.
Cao Wei, Zhong Shiheng, and Di Qing, the Northern Song Dynasty border generals were not only good at using Song soldiers, but often, the foreign and Han soldiers were dispatched together to win over and suppress another faction.
Cao Wei conquered more than a dozen tribes one after another, conscripting a total of more than 20,000 barbarian soldiers and 5,000 cavalrymen.
As for food, grass and weapons, these barbarians brought their own.
"It's time to attack the eight most powerful tribes of Dangxiang, and you can also send troops to directly attack the grain team of Dangxiang's army in Xixia."
