The Liang army is already approaching the tribe.
That's why they submitted to the Great Liang.
Zhao Yuan did not intend for the various tribes to continue living in their original way of life.
Instead, we need to divide them.
Many of the places where the various tribes live are also suitable for farming.
Zhao Yuan wanted them to learn how to farm.
In areas where agriculture is not possible, animal husbandry is developed.
Let them join the wool textile industry in the Central Plains.
Chapter 1573 Reorganization of Various Departments
Although each department can benefit from it
However, this would weaken the power of the leaders of each tribe.
It is possible that it will encounter resistance from various departments.
Or they could flee to Shangjing Road and seek refuge with Yelü Yanxi.
Therefore, the Great Liang Dynasty postponed the reorganization of the various tribes in Hedong until after it had wiped out the tribes in Shangjing Road.
Cut off the retreat routes of the various tribes east of the river.
Since the various departments need to be reorganized,
Zhao Yuan naturally could not allow the various tribes to continue expanding their power.
The various departments of Shangjing Road have a total population of several hundred thousand.
If they were sent to the various tribes east of the river as slaves...
It is highly likely that a single large tribe will emerge from the various tribes east of the Yellow River, capable of unifying the Mongolian grasslands.
Zhao Yuan would naturally not allow this to happen.
Even without their help
Zhao Yuan was also fully confident in dealing with the various tribes of Shangjing Road.
There are more than a hundred tribes, large and small, in Shangjing Road.
The large tribes such as the Naiman, Kereit, and Mongol tribes all had many smaller tribes under them.
For hundreds of years,
These tribes have been killing each other ever since.
I want to unite them as one.
It's not something someone like Yelü Yanxi could do.
The Liao Dynasty never truly conquered these tribes.
After Yelü Yanxi arrived in the capital,
Several small tribes were wiped out.
It merely brought the Kereit tribes, whose strength had already been greatly diminished by the Liao Dynasty, into submission.
The Mongol tribes to the east,
The Naiman tribe in the west,
The Merkit tribe to the north remained unruly.
They frequently raided the Kereit tribe.
The Liao cavalry suffered more defeats than victories against these fierce grassland and forest tribes.
Yelü Yanxi led his troops in.
This did not end the fighting on the Mongolian steppe.
Instead, they were drawn into the infighting between the various factions.
He could only lead the conquered Kereit tribe to fight against other tribes.
After resting for a day in Heishan Prefecture, Zhao Yuan rallied his troops for battle.
Hundreds of thousands of warhorses gathered at the foot of Black Mountain.
The grass in the Black Mountain has been completely eaten.
The Liao Dynasty's Northwest Route Pacification Commission was located in Qatun City.
To the west of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of present-day Outer Mongolia.
It is about 1,500 li away from Heishan Prefecture.
Traveling north from Montenegro requires traversing hundreds of miles of desert and Gobi regions.
Only then can one enter the grassland area.
The mobilization of troops in Heishan Prefecture was not kept secret from Yelü Yanxi, who was stationed in the Kereit tribe.
After Yelü Yanxi received the news,
He then summoned the various factions loyal to him.
Apart from the already conquered Kereit tribe,
The military governor of the Wugu tribe, Jiuzhe, and the commander of the Dilie tribe, Tabu, both led their people to surrender.
In addition to some small tribes in the surrounding area,
Yelü Yanxi quickly amassed another 50,000 troops.
Of course, Yelü Yanxi was merely issuing an edict.
The specific tasks were naturally handled by Xiao Telie, Temuge, Yelü Dashi, and others.
Yelü Yanxi had an even more important task.
After arriving in the capital,
Yelü Yanxi also developed a fondness for hunting gazelles and wolves.
Yelü Yanxi could do it all with just his words.
Xiao Telie and his companions, however, were running themselves ragged.
The Naiman, Merkit, and Mongol tribes surrounding the Kereit tribe did not submit.
They need to gather their troops.
We must also be wary of these three tribes taking the opportunity to plunder the women and children of the Kereit tribe.
If all the women and children of the Kereit tribe were abducted...
There is no doubt that the Kereit troops will collapse soon.
Therefore, they could only allow the women and children of the Kereit tribe to participate.
They were all relocated to the vicinity of Zhenzhou, Weizhou, Zhaozhou, and Fangzhou.
These four cities are only a few dozen miles apart.
If attacked by grassland tribes,
They can support each other.
The Liao Dynasty's Northwest Route Pacification Commission and the Zubu King's Palace were located in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, respectively.
Chapter 1574 The Wood Problem
After the rebellion of Mogus,
The Liao Dynasty sent troops to suppress the various chieftains of the Zubu tribe for eight years.
The total population of the Kereit tribes (Zubu) is now only around 100,000.
Each tribe also feared being ambushed by the Liang army or other tribes.
Therefore, they quickly gathered near the city.
However, after the various departments came together...
Food and timber then became problems.
Of course, these were all headaches for Xiao Telie and others.
Yelü Yanxi was considering how many gazelles and wolves he could hunt each day.
When the Liang army was less than 300 li away from Fangzhou...
Yelü Yanxi had just finished his hunting trip when
He convened a meeting of all departments to discuss countermeasures.
Previously, Shtillie had rallied his troops to fight to the death at Stonehenge.
Although Yelü Yanxi climbed to a high place to observe the battle.
Yelü Yanxi was directly attacked by Wanyan Zongwang.
Yelü Yanxi was so frightened that he fled in defeat.
This led to the army's collapse.
However, Shodori was promoted from deputy commander to commander because of this battle.
He enjoyed the deep trust of Yelü Yanxi.
Once everyone had arrived, Xiao Telie began to speak.
"The Liang Kingdom's army numbered no more than fifty thousand."
"There are also 20,000 Han cavalry,"
"The Han people haven't seen a horse for hundreds of years,"
"Would they dare let their warhorses run?"
Upon hearing this, the Liao generals
They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Han people must be good at riding donkeys,"
"You'd be so scared you'd wet your pants if you rode a horse."
Yelü Dashi frowned and said, "The Han cavalry in Ningxia Road have been training for almost two years."
"The fighting strength of the 30,000 Tangut cavalry is no less than that of our Liao iron cavalry, so we must not underestimate them."
Schotell was at the height of his power.
How could they tolerate such a disgraceful person as Yelü Dashi questioning them? They mocked him.
"Da Shilinya must have been frightened into illness by the King of Liang,"
“You abandoned Nanjing Road,”
"Could we possibly abandon Shangjing Road again?"
"The Han cavalry rode horses for two years,"
“We’ve been riding horses since we were little,”
"If they can't even win a horse battle against the Han people,"
"We don't need to think about restoring the Liao Dynasty anymore."
Although Yelü Yanxi did not kill Yelü Dashi,
However, he no longer trusted Yelü Dashi.
He distributed most of the more than 5,000 soldiers brought by Yelü Dashi among the generals.
