Chapter 417: Brave

"...As of now, Chi Lei has carried out a total of 69 operations of less than 10,000 people, eleven operations of more than 10,000 people, and cooperated with the Monsur tribe to fight twenty-four times, killing a total of 79,000 enemies. Among them, the Korka tribe army has 44,000 troops. The list of battlefield seizures and spoils is as follows..."

Ye Tao listened quietly to Tan Weiran's expressionless reader's military documents just sent by the advance base set up on the northwest edge of the Benlang Yuan. It was probably a luxury to ask a prince to read official documents to him, but Tan Weiran felt that something was wrong. Chi Lei's combat was not fierce, but his purpose was very clear. Moreover, Chi Lei really didn't care about the amount of land he controlled at all. He spread the scouts all over the grassland, and the Korka tribe was in his direction.

There is no escape. Many times he evacuated a large area of ​​land and grassland, deliberately put the Korka tribe in advance, and then found the right opportunity to attack or simply raid behind him. Chi Lei emphasized the mobility of the troops. All units have purchased supplies on the spot, and even his headquarters rarely carried more than three days of storage grain, and even asked the cavalry troops in his hands to ensure that all personnel were mobilized... With the current situation of getting better and better equipment and supplies, the troops in Yunzhou must do it.

It is actually becoming more and more difficult for all personnel to move. Not to mention other things, the command center's tents and various documents and codebooks are all mixed, and these things take up a lot of space and weight. Usually, even the Frost Wolf Silver Wing Army now has to carry some carriages to transport such objects. Even when marching in a hurry, the vanguard will stretch a long distance from the baggage they carry to ensure that the vanguard can be in time.

Just put into the battle. Chi Lei's order of all members of the army was a mess. The Frost Wolf Silver Wings both received a lot of training for all members of the army and made a lot of preparations. Although the Tieyun Cavalry and Jingyun Cavalry were in chaos, they could barely do it. In this way, it improved not only the speed of the march, but also the flexibility of Chi Lei's use of troops. With the interweaving of those teams, Chi Lei broke the situation on the entire grassland.

After the Masa tribe and Chi Lei had contacted each other, Chi Lei made it generously to let the Masa tribe talk again in the future. To the minimum, Masa no longer dared to take any hostile actions against Chi Lei's troops. The Kyrgyz tribe provided two thousand elite cavalry, mainly to serve as guides for Chi Lei's troops. Chi Lei never thought of letting these people go to the battlefield.

While Chi Lei attacked northward, he allowed the Intelligence Bureau to launch a propaganda offensive on the grassland. The herdsmen gradually learned that these extremely powerful soldiers were attacking the Korka tribe and liberating everyone from the high-pressure rule and exploitation of the Korka tribe. On the other hand, they also tried to stop the sand thieves from causing trouble to the grassland. The Intelligence Bureau is now very skilled in this kind of matter. In recent years, the Intelligence Bureau has practiced many things in Bei Liao, Xiling and Chunnan. All kinds of things are big and small.

From making one or two ministers smelly to covering up other work they are doing, the Intelligence Bureau is increasingly loving this bloodless conspiracy. On the grassland, when trained intelligence officers face the simple herders with a clever tongue, this kind of propaganda is simply unstoppable. The Intelligence Bureau officials also mastered the propaganda well. They never say bad things about the Korka tribe, etc., and never challenged the loyalty of the herders to their respective tribes.

As one goes up and down, Monsul finally led a coalition of more than 100,000 troops to confront the Korka tribe with an approximately equal number of troops and their army following the tribe. At this time, Chi Lei, who had already confronted the sand thief in the north, came back. He led 10,000 Jingyun Cavalry and 20,000 Jingyun Cavalry on the Yuanlang Yuan to raid the rear of the Korka tribe. Monsul also took the opportunity to attack and launched a comprehensive offensive. The Korka tribe finally failed to be as expected before

With a decisive battle, they defeated the Monsour's coalition forces with their ability to control the decisive battle, regained the initiative on the battlefield, and instead fell into a deeper abyss. After this battle, the Masa tribe finally officially surrendered, and they felt that they really lacked the bargaining chip to negotiate with Chi Lei. However, when the full-powered envoy of the Masa tribe came to find Chi Lei to negotiate, Chi Lei disappeared, and there were 30,000 elite cavalry that had appeared like miracles before.

"Chi Lei never contacted the forward base again after that battle. There are some weather problems these days, and the airship team cannot conduct normal reconnaissance. Moreover... the efficiency of reconnaissance is getting lower and lower now, and the area to be investigated is too far away from the forward base. The airship is too slow, and it takes a very short time to stay in that area every day." Tan Weiran closed the booklet of the intelligence documents and sighed.

"Weiran, take the base forward and go deeper into the grassland. It's about two hundred miles deep... We should insert the airship team into the front a little longer. After contacting Chi Lei, I think we can even put the airship team in the north and let them assist in the battle against the sand thieves." Ye Tao solicited Tan Weiran's opinion.

"Me?" Tan Weiran smiled and said, "Are you going to talk to the Korka tribe? It's not enough to hurt them yet. At least half of their troops are left, and they are not hurt yet."

Ye Tao sighed: "After all, we are not here to fight to the end. Our brothers have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, right? Mengsul is really brave enough to fight. He has suffered 50,000 or 60,000 casualties in his hands, but he is more and more fierce. We should control it. If everyone on the grassland fights to the point where the grudges are so deep that they cannot be resolved, the troubles will be great in the future."

Tan Weiran nodded and said, "Okay. I'll prepare for the collegial proposal now, or follow the previous statement?"

"Yes," Ye Tao said: "We can't see that they are treated better than the tribes on the Pent Wolf Field... Some of them may really think that incorporating Dongping can make life better, but I believe that many people are still thinking that they can be fooled and spend a few years to accumulate strength for more than ten years. Then, if they have what they want to get, they naturally have to pay. We want to be a collaborator, not a benefactor... We have to make them our friends, and persuasion is useless."

Tan Weiran smiled and said, "This is a very difficult job, it takes a lot of time, right? Fortunately... we have time now."

Ye Tao shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that optimistic... Haven't you received your Majesty's letter?"

Tan Weiran said indifferently: "I received it, but so what?"

In the private message that Tan Xiaopei gave them separately, it was mentioned that the letter from the Lord of Chunnan to Tan Xiaopei was not clear whether it was a diplomatic letter or a private message. In the letter, the Lord of Chunnan praised Tan Weizai, who grew up in Chunnan, saying that he had already become a heroic ruler at a young age... In addition, Jiang Yan, who came to send the letter, also talked about the bureaucracy of Chunnan when he met Tan Xiaopei. Because the two countries have developed well in alliance relations in recent years, the economic ties have become closer and closer, and various civil exchanges are also very enthusiastic. On the official side, many families have begun to learn the various effective measures implemented by Chunnan over the years, especially those that have not at least not harmed the interests of the great clans... Chunnan has also begun to enter a period of learning and change. Any change, in a country with party struggles and throne-fighting dynasty, will eventually turn into a chaotic situation, and Chunnan is naturally no exception. In the past, Chunnan has begun to enter a period of learning and change. Any change, in a country with party struggles and throne-fighting dynasty, will eventually turn into a chaotic situation, and Chunnan is naturally no exception.

When the king of the country did not seek new and change, Jiang Yan was relaxed, but over the years, Jiang Yan was obviously much older. Jiang Yan also revealed that the king of Chunnan was very annoyed by the fact that several princes competed for the throne, especially the princes had already broken up each other and did not take the overall situation of the country seriously. Conspiracy was very expensive, and in order to suppress each other, the two princes reached too much toward the merchants that depended on them, which made some businesses suffer. Some began to transfer costs to smaller merchants, while others began to do some things that disrupted the business order in order to make money. The academic community of Chunnan is not as simple as before... In this case, the king of Chunnan was really seriously considering the matter of passing the throne to his grandson Tan Weizai... The king of Chunnan wrote a very thunderous sentence in the letter, but was reprinted by Tan Xiaopei: "When it comes to the general trend of the world, long-term cooperation, long-term separation, long-term cooperation."

This attitude made Tan Xiaopei a little headache, and he naturally was reluctant to refuse such an opportunity. If what Jiang Yan said was true, it was really hard to control. Tan Weizai was his own child, but Tan Weizai was not a child who grew up in Dongping's environment. His relationship with his brothers and sisters... was probably similar to passers-by. Tan Weizai was like a conservative and compromise leader that a country with deep traditional origins needed by Chunnan, which is far more conservative and compromising than an enterprising and determined person like Tan Weiming and Tan Weiran... What Tan Xiaopei was afraid of was that in terms of blood, the two royal families merged and ruled the continent. However, culturally and institutionally, Dongping would be annexed by Chunnan in the future.

"What are you afraid of? If what Jiang Yan said is true, what if you leave the throne to Tan Weizai? My brother doesn't value this thing so much. Moreover, we are still young, and now we still have real power. My father is healthy and can manage this country for at least fifteen or twenty years. What else can Chunnan affect us? And, there are you. Not to mention anything else, in Yunzhou, everyone will listen to you. Not to mention that the eight characters are still not a single thing, even if the two countries merge in form in the future, you will live to be seventy or eighty years old, and you will be dragged to death by those civil officials in Chunnan.
