Chapter 289
Chapter 289: Each has its own abacus, the hearts of the people of all parts of the grassland.
“The human heart is like this, how can they fight against that Great Zhou Tianzi!”
At this moment, the Xiren Emperor Xiao Gan sighed secretly in his heart, and his eyes were full of cold and cold teeth.
The leaders and patriarchs of those tribes could only share wealth and wealth, not tribulation, and when they were going to the Great Zhou border to fight the grass valley, they all swore and were very enthusiastic.
Regardless of whether they can bring down the grass valley, as long as they can see the benefits and benefits, they will all rush up.
Now that the Great Zhou soldiers came to the city to raise their minds, these tribal leaders found that there was no benefit to gain, but when they were in danger of perish, they retreated one by one, hid back one by one, and kept silent.
Xiao Gan looked at these wall grasses, his eyes were full of cold and disappointment, the hearts of this grassland alliance were still the same, and all tribes had the heart to flee or surrender, and had no intention of fighting.
How can such a group of rabble be enemies of the Great Zhou?
Thinking of this, Xiao Gan waved his hand dejectedly and said, “Drumming and gathering troops, go to the front of the battle to meet with that big Zhou Tianzi Chai Hao.” ”
Since the year before last, he passed by outside the city of Chai Hao Youzhou, this was the first time that he had met with such a worldly master, and he was willing to submit to that Zhou Tianzi with the honor of the emperor of the Great Xi Kingdom, offering countless gold, silver, cattle and sheep, and contributing 100,000 good horses, in exchange for the opening of the net of the Great Zhou Tianzi.

“If such conditions are the case, if Chai Hao, the son of Tianzi that week, does not agree, then only the sons and daughters who are willing to fight to the death will fight with that Zhou army!”
Hearing Xiao Gan’s words, the leaders of the tribes in the account were all stunned!
Xiao Gan, as the emperor of the country and the leader of the grassland tribal alliance, was the main messenger of the southward attack on the grass valley last year. Logically speaking, he was the one who should not choose to surrender or make peace with the Great Zhou.
However, at this moment, Xiao Gan chose the first choice as to ask for peace with the Great Zhou and ask for submission, which made the leaders of the tribes, even those who originally wanted to surrender, particularly surprised.
This shows that even Xiao Gan, the taunting emperor, does not have the slightest certainty in his heart that he can block the attack of the Great Zhou army! Thinking of this, the hearts of these grassland tribe leaders couldn’t help but have mixed tastes, and various emotions surged one after another.
Some felt desperate and unwilling, and once upon a time, these steppe tribes, as subordinates of the Khitan Liao State, also lived well.
If you put it earlier, in the era of Turkic Rouran and Xiongnu, these sons and daughters of the steppe tribes, but they stepped on the Central Plains, and they also made the Central Plains Dynasty regard them as great enemies!
The majesty of the grassland tribes back then highlights how bleak these grassland tribes are today. Once invincible immediately, the grassland children who crisscrossed the world should have been proud of riding and shooting.
However, when facing the Zhou army, before the war began, a sense of timidity had arisen in his heart that he did not dare to be an enemy with it! How does this prevent these tribal leaders from suffering and unwillingness?
But there are also some people who feel relieved.
Because these tribes thought that although the Great Zhou army was strong, it was only able to defeat the grassland tribes, and it was impossible to destroy them all. Whether Xiao Gan’s surrender was successful or not, it didn’t matter, the important thing was that the Zhou army should not have the ability to control the grassland for a long time, so they would not wipe out all the grassland tribes.
Instead, after eradicating Xiao Gan’s deterrent grassland, he would choose one or several grassland tribes to support him as the agent of the Great Zhou in the grassland.
Help the Great Zhou collect cattle, sheep, war horses and other supplies from the grasslands.
Although in this way, for a period of time, the life on the grassland will become a little difficult, and the Great Zhou will spare no effort to squeeze the manpower and material resources of the grassland, so as not to make these unruly grassland tribes grow up, nor give them the opportunity to develop.
But at least these selected tribes can use the power granted by the Central Plains Dynasty to squeeze other tribes! So as to grow their clan.
In this way, the short period of more than ten years, the long period of tens of hundreds of years, after the heyday of the Central Plains Dynasty has passed, the ability to control the grassland has also declined, then these tribes will have the opportunity to break away from the control of the Central Plains Dynasty and become the new overlords of the grassland and establish a new grassland dynasty.
In those years, the Xiongnu, Rouran, Xianbei, Turkic, and Khitan all prospered and declined, but the overlords of the steppe changed wave after wave, but there were always new overlords, and it was for this reason.
From ancient times to the present, the grassland has always been the grassland of the grassland people, and no Central Plains dynasty can completely control the grassland, not even the powerful Tang Dynasty.
You know, the former Tang Taizong Li Shimin almost destroyed the entire Turks and captured the Turkic Jieli Khan, when the entire grassland and Beiting Dufu were the bondage zone of the Great Tang.
And after Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty also produced several generations of powerful emperors Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, female emperor Wu Zetian, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
These generations of emperors expanded their territory and deepened their rule over the steppe, but with Li Longji’s Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty fell apart, and the small Khitan tribe, which had been dependent on the Turks, rose.
The Khitan absorbed the strength of the Turkic relics and rose strongly during the civil strife of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.
In the end, Yelu Abaoji, a ruthless man of the Khitan generation, established the Liao State and divided the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Central Plains, and since then, the Liao State has been pressed on the head of the Great Song Dynasty of the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
Even if the Liao State is now extinguished, but the Liao State is extinguished, it is the Jurchens born in the black waters of the White Mountains that have risen. Then the Jurchens kicked the iron plate of the Central Plains and met Chai Hao.
In the end, it was destroyed by Chai Hao, the son of the Great Zhou Tianzi, but even so, the grassland tribe still has a lot left. For example, the Xi people clans of the Xi Ren Emperor Xiao Gan, such as the grassland tribes such as Yin Shan Murwei and Menghu.
Monghu is the predecessor of the Mongol Empire that swept across Eurasia in history. It is also the ancestor of Genghis Khan Temujin.
Although the Menghu at the moment is only one of the many tribes in the grassland.
But if the original historical development trajectory continues, the descendants of the Mughs will be the new hegemon of the northern country that will replace the Jurchens, and even more the hegemon of the entire world!
It’s just that the leaders of these grassland tribes have not yet realized that the wheel of history and the trajectory of the Central Plains Empire have changed with the emergence of Chai Hao, the dragon among the people of the Central Plains, the emperor of the world.
Chai Hao has the talents and characteristics that all ancient emperors have had, and he has a forward-looking nature that none of the emperors in the past has, and knows some of the original historical development trajectories.
Therefore, his attitude towards the grassland ministries was different from the loose ties during the Tang Empire from the beginning. The national policy of the Tang Empire was that as long as all ministries submitted and paid tribute on time.
But Chai Hao is different, what he wants to do is to devote himself to a battle, turn the grassland into the Central Plains, completely solve the problem of the grassland tribes becoming the great enemy of the Central Plains one after another, and open peace for all generations!.
