Han Khan

Chapter 134: Right Wing Attacks Ubili
Liang Xingde shook his head and said, "At present, it seems that Baichaer's defense is very tight and it is difficult to find a breakthrough. And they will obviously not easily leave the camp and take the initiative to fight with us."

Zhang Xibao stood up, walked to the door of the tent, looked at the mountains in the distance, and secretly planned his next move.

Zhang Xibao heard this and said in a strange tone:
"In other words, that dog slave is going to engage in a siege war with us? But does he have a city? He is a tribal leader who rides horses, but he actually gave up the cavalry field battle that they are best at. Isn't this courting death? It's ridiculous!"

However, Liang Xingde said:
“Sir, in addition to Baichaer’s own tribe, there are also a large number of clans from the west. Led by their leaders, they are pouring into the camp of the Ubili tribe from the Duoluos River, which is the west of the Irtysh River as the Hu people call it.

Now, there are nearly six or seven thousand households and more than thirty thousand people gathered here, and the entire camp is densely packed with people.

Although we are brave, we cannot stand up to the enemy's large numbers. They don't care about casualties at all. The purpose of those tribes that have not yet entered the camp and are scattered outside should be to slow down our attack speed so that they can prepare!"

His words made Zhang Xibao's face become solemn, and then he gritted his teeth and said:

"Tell Hailat and Yang Binghan to quickly capture several thousand more prisoners for me. Since the Ubili people don't care about the lives of these people, we can use them as shields for us. They love to defend themselves, so get the rockets ready. I want to set the entire Ubili camp on fire!"

"Commander, good news! The Ubili people's ally, the Dubo tribe, has been defeated by His Highness the Special Agent. The Ubili people have no reinforcements at this time!"

Hailat walked into the tent and said happily to Zhang Xibao.

Hearing this, Zhang Xibao's eyes flashed with excitement, "Great! This is really God's help!"

…………

At this time, Zhang Sheng had already led his troops into the temple camp.

The Jinhan cavalry who were patrolling everywhere immediately came forward when they saw the army led by Zhang Sheng.

When they noticed the huge number of captives and cattle and sheep behind them, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Afterwards, they quickly passed the good news back to Yin Shanxiong, Zhang Zhongxian and others in the camp.

Not long after, Yin Shanxiong and Zhang Zhongxian led a large number of people to greet him. They stood in two rows, lining the road to welcome Zhang Sheng's return, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Zhang Sheng smiled and waved to them, and asked, "Did anything happen in the camp during the time I was leading the army?"

Yin Shanxiong replied respectfully: “Don’t worry, Your Highness, everything is fine in the camp and no accidents have occurred.

The tribesmen are busy every day with grazing and collecting grass and cow dung for the winter.

On Sundays, the tribesmen will follow the Cardinal to perform the worship ceremony together.

Zhang Sheng nodded with satisfaction and continued riding forward.

Along the way, he was cheered by many tribesmen.

These tribesmen had great respect for him because he not only brought security and peace to the Jin Han people, but was also the emperor of the holy religion they believed in.

Zhang Sheng nodded after hearing this, indicating his agreement with Zhang Zhongxian's words.

At this time, Zhang Zhongxian on the side bowed and pointed at the more than 2,000 Khitan light cavalry and asked Zhang Sheng: "Who are those people, Your Highness?" There was a hint of curiosity and confusion in his tone.

Zhang Sheng looked in the direction of his finger and replied, "The remaining remnants of the Khitans in the Yenisei River have all now surrendered to me. They will be Jinhan people in the future. There are about seven battalions of them!" There was a sense of pride in his voice.

When Zhang Zhongxian heard that these people were the remaining Khitan people, he was delighted. He knew that the Jinhan tribe had now incorporated all the Khitan tribes, which was undoubtedly a huge victory.

He immediately bowed to Zhang Sheng and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Now the Khitan tribe has been completely conquered by Your Highness. This is truly a great event!" His face was filled with joy.

However, after the joy, Zhang Zhongxian began to think about how to manage these Khitan people. Although they have surrendered, how can he make them integrate into the Jinhan tribe and serve them loyally?

So he asked Zhang Sheng: "How do we manage these people? Treat them as tribesmen or as slaves?" His eyes were full of expectation, hoping to get a wise answer.

Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Zhongxian and understood the importance of this issue.

These Khitan people surrendered voluntarily, and a relationship of trust and cooperation needed to be established between them and the Jinhan tribe.

After careful consideration, he said:
"Let's go back to camp and talk while we walk!"

Then everyone caught up with the army in the front and marched towards the camp in a mighty manner.

"The Khitans are my uncle and mother's people, so they are naturally my people as well. Now that I, Jin Han, need people, how can I treat them as slaves?
Therefore, I plan to reorganize these four tribes and two thousand households of the Khitan people into four camps, and let the leaders of these four tribes serve as camp masters.

The remaining 900 households and the Han camp brought from Yizhou will be disbanded and integrated into four camps.

I will reappoint the heads of ten households, the heads of a hundred households and the camp masters, so that they can form a tribe with eight camps. In the next few days, the priest camp will organize them, baptize them and give them holy teaching education, so that they can convert to Haotian and the Holy Teaching.

At that time, we can provide them with bows, swords, armor and war horses, and they will be the army directly led by me in addition to the guards.

This can also enhance their sense of belonging and loyalty to Jinhan, making them an important force in Jinhan."

Zhang Zhongxian heard this and said quickly:
"I obey your order. Your Highness is wiser than me!"

Zhang Sheng continued:
“By the way, this operation not only successfully defeated the Dubo tribe, but I also conquered the forest tribe of about 4,000 households near Mount Tannu.

These tribes were reorganized into 13 camps. I also organized them to build a temple and camp near Mount Tannu, with Yan Zhi in charge of guarding them.

Although they have pledged their allegiance to the Holy Religion and the Lord of Heaven, they have not yet been baptized.

Therefore, it was necessary to send a chief priest and ten priests from the priest camp to the area to baptize the forest tribes and spread the doctrine.

In this way, they will truly become loyal believers of the Holy Religion.

At the same time, we need to register them so that we can be fully prepared when collecting tributes and recruiting soldiers in the future.

"Also, I asked the chieftains of the various tribes in the forest who submitted to me to hand over their descendants as hostages and guarantees of their submission to Jin Han. There were a total of one hundred people.

I brought these people with me to teach and train them. I, the priests, and the warriors baptized them, converted them, and educated them in the holy religion and trained them in riding, archery, and martial arts, so that they became the elite of Jinhan, both civil and military. "

He paused, glanced at everyone, and then said, "I believe everyone understands the reason behind this.

These hostages will be loyal and reliable, whether they fight with us in the future or are sent back to inherit their father's battalion commander title."

His voice was full of confidence and determination, which was inspiring. People present nodded in agreement, with excitement flashing in their eyes.

This plan can not only enhance Jin Han's strength, but also ensure the loyalty of the tribes in the forest, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Everyone agreed.

Zhang Sheng asked again:
"By the way, have you received any news from the left and right wings?"
