Xilamulun River means "Yellow River" in Mongolian.
It is the source of the Xiliao River, so it is also called Liaoshui and Daliaoshui.
"Great Khan, you can't go further south!" Darhan advised on the north bank of the Xilamulun River.
Chahun Dorji pulled the reins, looked at the wide river ahead, and at the boundless army and livestock behind, and said proudly: "The army of more than 100,000 has not fought any tough battles yet, so why should they just disperse like this? "
Morgan is also dissuading: "Great Khan, we sent troops this time to conquer the tribes of Horqin. This goal has been achieved, and the Bahrain and Jarut tribes have been conquered. The rest of the tribes must either surrender or flee. Even if The fleeing tribes, clansmen and livestock were also captured by us. We robbed so many pastures, livestock, people, slaves and food, we should accept it as soon as it is good, why must we go south to provoke the Han people?"
Darhan said: "Yes, there is no need to fight the Han people again. The most important thing now is how to accommodate those Horqin tribes who surrendered. The hostages should be detained, and the grasslands should be changed. Taiji of Khalkha We have to lead the army to stay behind to consolidate our rule in the Horqin Grassland. We have expanded too fast in the past few years, and even on the side of Hulunbuir, some tribes still have two hearts."
The rest of the Khalkha Mongolian leaders also began to persuade them.
? They have made a lot of money in this expedition, and the spoils they have grabbed are enough to live comfortably for several years. There is really no need to continue to fight south. What if there is a big defeat and you can't keep the spoils?
Chahun Dorji had a resolute expression on his face, but he was calculating carefully in his heart.
His succession time is too short, and he urgently needs a big victory to establish his supreme authority. Although he won the fight against Horqin this time, and gained countless gains, the one with the greatest military exploits was none other than Deputy Khan Darhan.
Many tribal leaders now highly respect Darhan, which made Chahun Dorji vigilant.
In addition, Darhan captured the noble daughter of Horqin and picked out the two most beautiful women privately, which made Chahun Dorji very dissatisfied.
He is not for the two women, but thinks that he has been neglected and that his authority has been greatly challenged! If Darhan sent all the noble ladies to him for distribution, even if Darhan still wanted to pick a few more beauties, he would reward them very generously.
If you want a woman, I can give it to you, but you can't take it without my consent!
"The Han people are nothing to be afraid of. If you break the city of the Han people, you can grab more goods and people." Chahun Dorji was determined to go his own way.
"Khan, please think twice!"
"Sweat profusely!"
First, the leader of the big tribe got off his horse, knelt on the ground and tried to persuade him. Immediately afterwards, many small tribal leaders also knelt down one after another.
Even Lama Danzhu, who was with the army, shook the wheel and said: "Khan, the month is getting late, and the return to Mobei is a long way away. If you continue to fight south, if the war drags on for a long time, the army may face serious difficulties when returning to Mobei." snowstorm."
Chahun Dorji was still riding on the horse, and there were dense crowds kneeling on the ground around him.
The tribal leaders all had the same idea. They were already satisfied with the robbing and did not want to take the risk of fighting the Han again.
Chahun Dorji, who threatened to be the Great Khan of all Mongolia, could not even restrain his leader at this moment. He was full of anger, and wanted to slash a few to death with a knife, but he didn't dare to do it.
"Forget it, hahahaha!"
Chahun Dorji laughed loudly, pointed to the south and said, "This year's battle was really fun. Those Han people in the south should be left alone for now, and they will be dealt with severely next year!"
"Great Khan Shengming!" The leaders of all ministries were overjoyed.
Immediately afterwards, using the pretext that the Horqin Grassland was not stable, Chahun Dorji announced that the main force must stay. He asked Darhan and Moergen to send a son each to return to Mobei with part of the army. While dispersing the strength of the two people, keep the two people by their side to prevent them from causing trouble if they run away.
Both the Bahrain Left Banner and Right Banner were attacked by Horqin, causing countless casualties. Therefore, the two parts of Bahrain can get compensation, and some herders, cattle and sheep will be separated from the captives, and they will move to the flatter and more fertile Xilin Gol.
The people of the Zalut tribe were also raided, and they could share the herdsmen among the captives and obtain the rich territory left by Badali.
Lama Shixi, who was forced to surrender halfway, can keep his tribe and property, but he must surrender some herdsmen and slaves. At the same time, the whole family had to migrate to the grassland on the other side of Lianhuan Lake. Although the land was reduced, the grassland was more fertile and could grow wheat. Changing the grassland in this way is to allow Lama Shixi to occupy the land full of beads and rituals, and completely turn Horqin's various ministries into enemies.Head north towards Kullen.
"There are Mongolian sentinels ahead!"
"Try to kill!"
Wang Tingchen, who ran hundreds of miles to attack the Tartars for meritorious service and was punished for violating military discipline, is now leading the Northeast vanguard to explore the way. To tell the truth, he was punished at that time, and compensations were gradually given, and Pang Chunlai was also a matchmaker for his son, and married the ministers of the court. Wang Tingchen was already psychologically balanced at this time.
There were only a few hundred sentry cavalry sent by Khalkha Mongolia in the Kulun area. Facing Datong cavalry ten times their own, they whipped away without saying a word.
The leader of Khalkha, who was about to take over the Kulun Grassland, evacuated quickly when he heard the news.
"Khan, bring your gains back to Mobei!"
On Chahun Dorji's side, the leaders of various ministries started to make trouble again.
? They didn't have a firm foothold in the Horqin Grassland, and they were unfamiliar with the place, and they had so many spoils, so they really didn't want to take the risk of fighting again. There are movements of the Han army in the south, and traces of the Han army in the east. It is reasonable to flee from the west as soon as possible.
Chahun Dorji said: "Withdrawing the troops back to Mobei now, I have indeed made a fortune, and I can take away countless spoils of war. But if they leave this time, the Han people will take the opportunity to occupy the grassland and surrender to us. The settlements in Monan and Modong will also betray us and fall to the Han people. Mobei is too cold and barren, and this is a good place. We must fight the Han people. We don¡¯t need a big victory, just beat the Han people back. Then firmly Occupy this place, and move the tribes here one after another. In less than twenty years, we will be able to reproduce many tribesmen and have more people, livestock and food!"
"Clang!"
Chahun Dorji pulled out his waist knife: "If it is not a last resort, this battle must be fought. If we win, Khalkha will grow strong and unite all the Mongolian ministries. If we lose, it will be difficult to go south. You can only stay in Mobei. Listen to me, gather a large army, and fight the Han people to the death!?
