Chapter 875: The Dilemma of the Allied Forces
Those prisoners were not transported to the Central Plains, but were left in Yinchuan, so that the old and weak, women and children could feel at ease.
If it is really transported to the Central Plains, those family members may not believe it, and they are still worried that Dahua will secretly kill him.
Staying in Yinchuan is also a pretense for other tribes to see. Tell other tribes that as long as they surrender, their lives are guaranteed.
However, these captives cannot be kept in vain all the time.
Hua Jun arranged for these people to build a road from Yinchuan to the Central Plains to facilitate transportation.
With more and more Dahua vehicles, the requirements for the road will be higher and higher in the future.
The previous official roads were not big enough and needed to be expanded.
The news that the Chinese army had attacked the special tribe in Tueryi soon spread to other tribes on the steppe.
For a time, all tribes are in danger.
How to face Dahua is the top priority they need to study.
The Balut tribe, a small tribe close to the Tueryi Special Branch, was very straightforward and sent an envoy directly to express their intention to surrender to Dahua.
And it is the unconditional kind, and then it will be left to Dahua's disposal.
They are also helpless. Dahua will fight them next, but they have nowhere to escape.
The places with aquatic plants were occupied by other large tribes.
They migrated rashly, which is also a dead end.
At that time, all the men in their tribe will be killed, and the women will be seized.
Instead, it is better to surrender to Dahua.
At least, Dahua will not kill these men.
Balut surrendered, but the other tribes had their own ideas.
The Gushi Khan of the Heshuo Special Department began to send people to contact the various departments, preparing to assemble the army and not give the Huajun a chance to defeat them. When the quantity reaches a certain level, a qualitative change can occur.
No matter how advanced the Huajun's weapons are, there is a risk of failure when it encounters a dozen times the enemy.
The fact that Gushi Khan assembled his army was not to fight the Hua army head-on, but to put pressure on the Hua army and let the Hua army know that he still had the strength to resist.
While assembling the army, he also sent messengers to the Hua army to discuss the surrender with the Hua army.
If the Chinese army can provide decent conditions, surrender is not impossible.
For the forces on the grasslands, surrendering to the Central Plains Dynasty has never been a shameful thing, and it is even a tradition.
When the Central Plains Dynasty became stronger, it resolutely surrendered and hibernated.
When the Central Plains weakened and fell into chaos, they waited for an opportunity to go south independently. This was their way of survival.
Meanwhile, other tribes are making their own choices.
The Dulbert Department chose to migrate northward, wanting to avoid Dahua.
Surrender to Dahua, only those at the bottom will benefit.
Like their tribal leaders, the aristocracy will lose their privileges and power.
Many people have the idea that they would rather be a chicken head than an ox tail.
So, their tribal leaders ordered the migration.
Although the people below were not happy, they complained. However, they lack organization and the ability to resist.
The various tribes on the grassland are moving, and the Huajun has not stopped.
The surrendered Baluts were given preferential treatment, and everything in the tribe was business as usual, except that their army was required to follow the Chinese army to fight.
Along the way, the Hua army and the surrendered Mongolian soldiers pushed several small tribes horizontally.
Hua Jun completed the crushing without any suspense. The strength of these tribes is not as good as that of the Tueryi Special Department, so how can they be Dahua's opponents.
The approach of the Chinese army made the other tribes panic.
In desperation, they began to hold a group to keep warm, and united around Gushi Khan.
They formed a 150,000-strong cavalry army and gathered together to avoid being defeated by the Chinese army one by one.
These 150,000 people are almost half of the adult men in the grassland.
If this army is eliminated, every tribe on the grassland will be severely injured, or even fatally hit.
However, Hua Jun was not in a hurry to launch an attack.
After all, there are 150,000 people on the other side.
There are hardly any special terrains that can be used on the grassland. Once a decisive battle occurs, the Chinese army needs to defend in four directions, which will cause the dispersion of troops.
Perhaps in this case, the Huajun can still win, but the loss is certainly not small.
In contrast, Hua Jun has a more subtle approach.
Chinese army barracks, staff.
Many Chinese military officers gathered together, and it seemed that everyone looked good.
"This Gushi Khan has panicked to the point of confusion. With these hundreds of thousands of troops together, the daily consumption is an astonishing figure. I want to see if they can last for a few days."
A staff officer laughed.
This is the Achilles heel of Gushi Khan. Today, the grasslands are deficient in materials and food and grass.
With so many troops gathered all at once, it is absolutely impossible to support a single Heshuo special department.
For other tribes to transport food and grass here, the consumption in the middle is also a large amount.
More importantly, even if there is no war, these tribes are starving.
Now they have to maintain the war, and they can't hold on even more.
Hua Jun estimated that within ten days, the coalition would be disbanded, or even infighting.
As for whether Gushi Khan will take the initiative to attack, this Huajun will not
Worry.
Once they find that they are taking the initiative to attack, the Chinese army can also retreat to avoid the battle.
On the grasslands, if the speed is not dominant, it is very difficult to defeat the opponent, because neither side has anything to defend.
Fight if you want to, retreat if you want.
"I can't blame him for this. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. If we were in his position, what better way could we come up with?"
This sentence made everyone's sense of superiority suddenly drop a lot, and everyone was reminded that they can be so relaxed now, not because they are so good, but because they are stronger.
"This is the general trend. It is the general trend that I, Dahua, unify the world. Anyone who tries to go against the trend and try to oppose the Holy Emperor will fail."
Zhang Shuhuan said.
This is what the elders say, and they are politically correct as soon as they speak.
When everyone heard the words, they agreed one after another, and the open hood was full of joy.
At the same time, in the Oirat Alliance, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
Their situation was even worse than Hua Jun had predicted.
It was only two days after the army assembled, and there were many problems in the alliance.
Gushi Khan was also aware of this problem, and he had summoned those tribal leaders to discuss the bottom line of surrender.
As for going to war, he never thought about it, and other leaders were unwilling to go to war.
Not to mention whether this battle can be beaten, even in the most optimistic situation, if you win this battle, how will you face Dahua's anger next?
Dahua has only sent two divisions now, and they will go all out.
And there are dozens of Dahua divisions of this size.
