Chapter 264 Digging a deep hole for Guilichi
After wiping out most of Tengger Lige's troops, Zhu Ji quickly reorganized a new troop lineup.

Now he uses the newly surrendered prairie men as the vanguard, then the Ming army as the central army, and finally the prairie female soldiers and the final grain and grass supply troops.

With these men leading the way, Zhu and the others were finally able to find the location of Tengger Lige's tribe.

At the same time, Zhu Ming also realized that it was Tengger Lige who had gathered all the tribes together, and then he was in vain. Even with the map, he could not find their whereabouts.

It turned out that he ran away.

But this also led to the sudden attack of Zhu Zhen's army in front of the tribe, and immediately wiped out all the tribes in Tengger Lige.

There is no longer a need to face the situation of one tribe being divided into more than a dozen small tribes like before.

The people in the tribe wanted to put up a stubborn resistance at first, but when they heard that Tengger Lige had been beheaded and even the men in the tribe had been eliminated, they suddenly collapsed.

Suddenly the tribe was filled with the cries of countless people.

There are also many women among them who still want to resist to the end, and would rather die than surrender.

However, now there is no need for Zhu Ji to take action in person. Instead, the female soldiers are led by Min Min Te and Qiqi Ge. They are leading by example to spread Zhu Ji's reputation and to liberate everyone's minds. .

They already looked like Zhu Xi's fanatical followers.

There were so many women helping Zhu Chun as lobbyists, but Zhu Chun himself found a spacious yurt, got into it, and rested comfortably.

Xu Miaojin followed in, and when she saw Zhu Zheng leaning on a chair with her arms stretched out, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "You really can't sit still, and you're not afraid of being disillusioned by the women outside, right? Especially when you see her. It's that Min Minte who wants to eat you up and wipe you clean. As long as I don't keep an eye on you, she will come over to show her courtesy."

She gets angry when she mentions this.

But Xu Miaojin also had to admit that Zhu Zhen had now begun to become famous on the grassland, especially among the tribes that submitted to him, and he had absolute authority.

To put it bluntly, not to mention the older girls, but also the younger wives, even those who are not widows, as long as Zhu Chu hooks his fingers, no matter who they are, they will be willing to sleep with him at night.

Even Arutai's mother is no exception. Arutai will be happy to be his cheap son.

This made Xu Miaojin couldn't help but pout. Even the enjoyable battle before could not dispel the resentment in his heart at this time.

"Why are you so good?" Xu Miaojin moved over gently, leaned next to Zhu Chu, leaned on his arm, and touched Zhu Chu's chest with her hand.

Zhu Zhen didn't want to speak at first, was that something he could decide?He is a prince, and he has both civil and military skills. Not to mention the old man Shiquan, he is quite capable and capable. He is also good-looking. What's wrong with being more likeable?It’s not as if he’s the one who sees the best.

At this time, he couldn't help but feel proud: "Even my sister, aren't you addicted to our charm?"

Xu Miaojin curled her lips and said that she was fat and out of breath.

In fact, Xu Miaojin knows that many women may not really think Zhu is handsome. On the grassland, handsomeness cannot be a living wage. What they really care about is Zhu's identity, power and status.

"Now you have to conquer a territory and a tribe again," Xu Miaojin knew that sooner or later this tribe would be conquered, and with the experience of the women on the grassland and Min Minte, it would only be conquered faster.

Zhu Zhen nodded, but there was no relaxed joy on his face. Instead, he said: "This is just the beginning. And as we continue to deepen, I believe we will meet Guilichi soon. Before this, It’s just a small fight, and the important battle will come later. If we can’t defeat Guilichi, it’s actually meaningless to us. So before we leave the grassland, Guilichi must be eliminated.”

Only by getting rid of Guilichi can Zhu Chu dare to say that he has completely mastered the Tatar tribe.

Otherwise, once he is recalled by Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, everything on the grassland will be in vain. If they know that he is gone and the Guilichi army attacks, these tribes will still be taken back.

Even according to Zhu Xi's guess, when the news that he defeated Tengger Lige reached Gui Lichi's ears, he would not be able to sit still and would have a decisive battle with him, right?

"What can we do?" Xu Miaojin asked worriedly.

"So you didn't see me sitting here? This time, I didn't come out to conquer them and promised them nothing. I didn't promise anything. I didn't admit that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty," Zhu Zhen sneered.

Xu Miaojin was stunned and vaguely noticed that there was something in Zhu Xi's words.

"Sister, our manpower is limited. We only have tens of thousands of people now. If we want to engulf this tribe again, if Guilichi divides his troops to attack this tribe, Qiqige tribe and Alutai tribe at the same time, we can take precautions. Come here?" Zhu Zhen sighed, the power in his hands was really too limited.

"So you go and inform Peng Yue and Niu Sheng to take away half of the cattle and sheep in the tribe, leaving only half of the cattle and sheep. We are not here to conquer them, it's time to go back," Zhu Zhen said suddenly.

go back?

Xu Miaojin was stunned.

Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "Yes, if we continue to go deeper now, we will actually meet the main force of Guilichi's headquarters, but before that, there are still some things that need to be arranged. Let's go back first, and then decide on the next step The goal. I plan to eradicate the Badalkin tribe first."

Among the branch forces in this grassland, the Arutai tribe is closest to Ningxia Town, just outside the Helan Mountains.

Then the Arutai tribe was close to the Yahada tribe and the former Natula tribe, which is now the Qiqige tribe.

At the same time, the Arutai tribe is also slightly bordered by the edge of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Hetao area.

Later, the Qiqige tribe bordered the Tenggerlig tribe, and was similar to the Badaljin tribe mentioned by Zhu Chu at this time.

In fact, behind the Tengger Lige and Badaljin tribes is the main territory of Guilichi.

Zhu Chu took out the map and looked at it. If he conquered Tengger Lige's tribe at this time, he would be directly adjacent to Guilichi. Unless he had to start a final decisive battle with Guilichi's headquarters now, it would be best to At this point, it is not time to conquer this tribe.

"Next to me is the Badalkin tribe. If I am alone and deeply involved in a fight with the Ghostly Red Army, this tribe cuts off our army's food and grass routes from behind, or even outflanks us from behind. Unless I rely on the system to buy a big army. Pile up light machine guns and heavy machine guns, otherwise the situation will be dangerous," Zhu Zhen thought to himself.

Although he can make use of the power of the system, where does he go? If he has to rely on the system to buy machine guns and push all the way through now, how will he conquer the world in the future?

If you look at it from a game perspective, then this is equivalent to a novice village. If you don't take this opportunity to train troops, you will have to continue to rely on the power of the system in the future.

For example, although Zhu Zhen suffered heavy losses this time, in fact, all the survivors have gained experience, especially the female soldiers. They are like carps leaping over the dragon's gate. Those who survive will truly become qualified as long as they can withstand the pressure. of female warriors.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry to use the power of the system, but began to plan.

Now is not the time for a full-scale decisive battle with Guilichi. At least he must ensure the stability of the rear before continuing to penetrate deeper.

So the Badaljin tribe will be his next target, and then there will be the Yadalali tribe.

The Yadalali tribe is on the other side, close to the direction of the Wala tribe, adjacent to and bordering the Yahada tribe.

The entire grassland is not only divided into three major tribal groups: Tatar, Oara and Ulyanha, but the tribal relations are even more complicated. Guilichi is only the largest leader of the Tatar tribe, and there are twelve smaller leaders below him.

Including the various tribes under these small leaders, they usually live in their own way, and there are also small leaders of their own tribes.

If Genghis Khan had not unified the grasslands and established the Mongol Empire, I am afraid that these small tribes would still be fighting for life and death.

While thinking about the next deployment, Zhu Chu secretly arranged it. When the evening came, Zhu Chu conveyed a new order: "Notify the entire army to prepare to return to the Qiqige tribe."

"what?"

When Qiqige and Minminte got the news, they were stunned.

They thought Zhu Chu wanted to conquer the tribe, but Tengger Lige and the men in the tribe were almost dead, so they were confident that they could persuade the women in the tribe to surrender.

But Zhu Chu didn't know when the Ming army and the grassland men of the Qige tribe took away half of the tribe's cattle and sheep. The army was ready to go and was ready to retreat at any time.

"Your Highness, what's going on?" Min Minte and Qiqige found Zhu Zhen together.

Zhu Ming said angrily: "What's going on? When did I say that I wanted to conquer them? You really made your own decisions and had nothing to do? Why are you talking nonsense?"

As a result, they were complained by His Highness?
Qi Qiqi and Min Min are very angry at the same time.

Zhu Ming was so funny that he didn't explain. He just said: "Okay, don't feel wronged. Let the female soldiers get ready and leave. If you don't leave, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave." "What do you mean?" The two women said Feel puzzled.

"I'm afraid that Guilichi's army is already on the way. Now is not the time to have a head-on conflict with them. Let's retreat and divert to the Badaljin tribe to catch them off guard." Zhu Zhen finally told the whole story about his next move. plan.

Minminte and Qiqige looked at each other and realized that they had not thought of His Highness's long-term vision.

Yes, more than 1000 people ran away before. I am afraid that Gui Lichi already knows the news that Tengger Lige was defeated.

Behind Tengger Lige's tribe is Gui Lichi's territory. With Gui Lichi's extremely suspicious character and the terrifying combat effectiveness displayed by this Ming army, I'm afraid he will come to conquer it personally this time.

And Gui Lichi's headquarters might have a hundred thousand troops?

He really had to avoid the edge for a while. Zhu Chu's men had suffered heavy losses before, and he didn't want to waste any more lives.

So this army came suddenly and left suddenly. Before arriving that night, they left like a tide.

In the Tengger Lige tribe, an old woman breathed a sigh of relief.

She is Tengger Lige's mother, Dandu'er. She is actually not very old, about 45 years old.

However, as the mother of the former leader, she still has a high status. However, now that her son has suddenly died, and almost all the men in the tribe have died, Danduoer is full of pessimism and despair about the future.

If a new generation of men does not grow up as the backbone of the tribe within a few years, their tribe of orphans and widowed mothers will be swallowed up by other tribes.

The tribal laws on the grassland are like a pride of lions. If there is no strong enough lion king to protect them, they will be swallowed up by other lions. It is so cruel.

Either surrender or die.

As for half of the cattle and sheep taken away by the Ming army, Dan Duoer felt that they were lucky.

"Just taking away half of it? It seems they are quite merciful and don't want to kill us all," Dan Duoer sighed.

She understood that even if the enemy took away all the cattle, sheep, property, and even the young and beautiful girls in the tribe, there was nothing they could do.

If their tribe had conquered other tribes, they would have done the same thing.

It can only be said that the winner is a prince and the loser is a bandit.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Chu took away half of their cattle and sheep. They still have to thank others for their tolerance and kindness.

But Dandu'er didn't know at this time that they were about to face a disaster.

Because just three days later, Guilichi personally led an army of [-] to the tribe. After learning that Tengger Lige was killed in battle and that all the men in the tribe were almost extinct, Guilichi became furious and not only did he not appreciate Tengge Geerlig's sworn loyalty instead allowed his subordinates to plunder and trample the tribe unscrupulously.

After a full day and night, when the ghostly red army left, the tribe was in a terrible state.

However, this is not mentioned for the time being.

At the same time, Zhu Zhu led his army to quickly leave the territory of the Tengger Lige tribe, and even returned to the camp area where he had previously fought against Tengger Lige.

"Set up camp and have a good celebration tonight," Zhu Zhen immediately issued an order to set up camp here again.

If Guilichi came so fast and even chased him here, the pit behind the camp could be used again.

Good guy, how many people does he want to trap and kill?
And this time they came out of the Tenggerlig tribe and brought more yurt materials. Even if the army now grows and an additional [-] men are added, they can still stay there.

But Zhu Min reminded the whole army: "Don't touch those cattle and sheep, feed them all. Didn't many horses die before? Let's celebrate with horse meat."

In fact, the value of a good horse or a BMW can be worth as much as two cows or ten sheep.

But a large number of war horses died before, so this was a helpless move.

As for why the cattle and sheep could not be used, Zhu Zhen had no explanation, and no one dared to ask.

Only Xu Miaojin felt strange: "There are so many cattle and sheep, why are you so reluctant to reward them?"

Zhu Ming showed a mysterious expression and said: "Sister, we let off Tengger Lige's tribe so easily, and only took away half of the cattle and sheep, not all. If you were that Guilichi, How would you feel?"

Xu Miaojin's eyes suddenly widened, she looked at Zhu Zhen with a shocked expression, and asked: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Zhu Zhen smiled and nodded. He did it on purpose. He did.

From the mouths of the newly surrendered young men, Zhu Chu got an important signal, that is, Gui Lichi was not a leader and could not hold a big position.

After Natula died, this ghost Lichi had a great opportunity to directly take over the support of [-] to [-] strong men, but what did he do?It directly broke the hearts of these strong men.

Originally, these people would rather abandon their families and careers to seek refuge with Guilichi.

But because of Gui Lichi's tricks, these people were all desperate, so they took a chance and stopped escaping this time, but tried to surrender to Zhu Chu.

Gui Lichi forced his subordinates to such a dead end, which was a unique feat. This is really a genius.

(As an aside, in history, Guilichi actually forced Arutai to rebel. Arutai initially supported Guilichi as the Great Khan. Later, because the two began to break up, Arutai directly gave Guilichi to him. Got it done. This is really awesome.)
In this way, once Gui Lichi led his army to the tribe, and found that no one in the tribe was harmed, Zhu Zhen even took away half of the cattle and sheep and let the tribe go.

So, how should Guilichi feel?
Xu Miaojin just thought about it for a moment, but she felt bad all over. She looked at Zhu Zhen with a solemn expression and asked: "Do you know that Guilichi will probably massacre everyone there?"

"What does it have to do with me? Sister, I have told you that I have not come forward to surrender them. They are not my subjects yet. They are still Guilichi's subjects now. Guilichi How do you treat your own people? What does it have to do with me? I tell you, don’t push yourself too far. They are not ours yet. If you dare to scold me for outsiders, try to see if I will let you go tonight. ," Zhu Ming warned Xu Miaojin not to be too arrogant.

Xu Miaojin curled her lips and said coquettishly: "You are a real person. I am talking to you about business."

At the same time, she finally understood why Zhu Zhen had to emphasize that he had not come forward in person and had not promised anything.

It turns out that he had planned everything from the beginning.

"But why did you do this?" Xu Miaojin was puzzled. It was clear that Zhu Zhen had gone to great lengths to conquer the Qiqige tribe, so why did he use this method now?

"Of course we want Guilichi to lose the support of the people. If he destroys the Tenggerlig tribe that we have never harmed, what will the people on the entire Tatar grassland think?" Zhu Zhen showed an extremely sinister look. face.

Xu Miaojin gasped.

"And after Guilichi, will I return the half of the cattle and sheep to them? By then, I won't need to waste a drop of saliva. They will all know who is the master," Zhu Zhen said to himself real purpose.

It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't want to conquer the Tenggerlig tribe, but he just changed the method this time.

If it is true as he said, Guilichi will be completely finished and he will lose all the hearts and minds of the people on the grassland.

Zhu Chu, on the other hand, became the savior on the grassland.

Even if he doesn't 'open the city gates to welcome King Chuang' wherever he goes, it will be easy for him to conquer other tribes in the future.

"Okay, sister, let Guilichi do his best now. Let's take a good rest today, and we have to rush to eradicate the Badaljin tribe tomorrow. Then there will be the Yadalali tribe. If we don't get rid of these two, we will There is no way to have a decisive battle with Oni Riki’s headquarters.”

"But don't worry, it won't take more than a month at most. Before the end of the year, I will get rid of the ghost Lichi. I want the Tatar tribe. Before becoming the lord of the grassland, I will first become the king of Tatar."

Looking at the proud and confident Zhu Chu, Xu Miaojin was convinced. Even though her heart was as high as the sky, she was completely surrendered to Zhu Chu's personality charm at this time. She couldn't help asking shyly: "Then why do you want to practice double cultivation tonight?" No?"

"Nonsense, you are my wife, and this is your obligation, understand."

That's for sure.
