Fifty thousand cavalrymen had already gathered at the foot of Black Mountain.
In addition to the warhorses carrying provisions,
Tens of thousands of warhorses gathered at the foot of Black Mountain, stretching for dozens of miles.
Arrived at the city gate,
Zhao Yuan then saw Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Mu Hong, and others come to greet him.
There were also some tribal chiefs from Hedong Road in the group.
Zhao Yuan conquered all directions,
Wherever they went,
Officials and commoners alike will surely come out of the city to welcome them.
And there are also many elderly people in their sixties and seventies.
The ten-mile journey into the city was more difficult than his usual twenty-mile march.
To reduce trouble,
Zhao Yuan simply set the rules.
All officials could only greet them at the city gate.
The local people must not be disturbed.
The various tribes of the former Liao Dynasty's Western Capital Circuit in Hedong Road have tasted the benefits of fighting alongside the regular army of Daliang.
Hearing that Daliang was going to send troops to attack Shangjing Road, he rushed over.
They wanted to send troops to help.
It would be good to divide the population among the various parts of Shangjing Road.
Chapter 1572 Offering to the Statue
Although the Montenegrin state officials did not dare to disturb the people.
But seeing the King of Liang enter the city
The people of the city still lined the streets and cheered.
We worship the one true god of Daliang.
After the suppression of the religion, the Great Liang Dynasty prohibited the worship of all gods and Buddhas.
The statues of Zhao Yuan sold even better.
People who are accustomed to making offerings to certain things
Without religion, it's like losing one's spiritual anchor.
The statue of Zhao Yuan, which was already being worshipped,
They quickly filled the void left by the extermination of the religion.
Now, almost every household in Daliang has a statue of Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan's status, like that of a certain later founding emperor, has been completely mythologized.
He became the only true god of the Great Liang.
Amidst the deafening cheers and clamor of worship from the people,
The group entered the military camp in the city.
Hua Rong had already prepared a banquet, and everyone took their seats.
After having a few drinks,
The leader of the Baidadan (Wanggu tribe), Chuanguer, couldn't wait to say,
“I have already gathered five thousand tribal warriors,”
"Please allow us to do our part for King Liang."
Mogeshiyedao, the leader of the Shiwei tribe in Yinshan.
"My unit has also mobilized three thousand brave warriors,"
"I am willing to follow King Liang in battle."
Other smaller tribes also volunteered for the war.
Whether it's a thousand people or a few hundred,
They all want a piece of the pie.
All the Ningxia Road Dangxiang units have been registered and placed under management.
Some learned farming from the Han people.
Some of them graze on designated grasslands.
Another group is accustomed to making a living with weapons.
He joined the Liang army.
They reorganized 100,000 Tangut vassal troops.
The various departments along Hedong Road had just submitted to the government.
In addition, the various departments of Shangjing Road frequently harassed them.
The Great Liang hadn't had time to reorganize yet.
Each department continued to live according to its previous lifestyle.
Zhao Yuan looked at the leaders and said,
"Once they join the army,"
"Each unit must abide by the military regulations of Daliang,"
"Advance at the sound of the drum, retreat at the sound of the gong,"
"Those who disobey orders will be killed without mercy."
"If the entire tribe is defeated and flees, all the people in the tribe will be reduced to slaves."
Are you still willing to fight?
When the leaders of the various tribes heard what King Liang said,
They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Previously, when they coordinated with the Ningxia Road troops, the Ningxia Road troops were always the main attackers.
They assisted from the sidelines.
If you can't win, run away.
They do not need to follow the military regulations of the Great Liang.
The population of Daliang is countless.
However, even the Ongud tribe, which had the largest population among all the tribes, numbered only tens of thousands.
Other small tribes have only a few thousand people.
If the loss is too great
It would very likely be swallowed up by other tribes.
They were also aware of the brutality of the various factions in the capital.
The various factions of Shangjing Road have been constantly fighting each other for years.
Although many tribes are branches of the Shiwei tribe,
However, the Shiwei tribe in the south was brutal.
However, they cannot compare with the Shiwei tribe in the north.
Moreover, the Naiman tribe (Nianbage tribe), Kereit tribe (Zubu tribe), Mongol tribe, Wugu tribe, and Direit tribe of Shangjing Road were all large tribes.
In Hedong, only the Ongud tribe has a population similar to these other tribes.
The Yinshan Shiwei of Mogeshi are smaller.
Seeing that the tribal leaders remained silent, Zhao Yuan said,
"Alright, you may all leave."
"Fifty thousand troops are enough to wipe out the capital."
The tribal leaders, who were already considering resigning, saw Zhao Yuan's words and...
They all returned to their seats.
Slavery is attractive,
But that still wasn't enough to make them risk a significant loss of strength.
They fought to the death with all the departments of Shangjing Road.
The Ongud tribe was also a large tribe.
But he has always been a loyal dog of the great power.
Initially, it was a subordinate tribe of the Liao Dynasty.
After the fall of the Liao Dynasty,
They also continuously provided horses, sheep, and camels for Yelü Yanxi and Yelü Dashi.
Later, the Jin dynasty destroyed the Liao dynasty.
They also guarded the borders for the Jin Dynasty.
To guard against the Mongol, Kereit, and Naiman tribes to the north.
Temujin destroyed the Kereit tribe.
When the Naiman tribe allied with the Ongud tribe to fight against the Mongols,
The Ongud tribe betrayed the Naiman tribe again.
They sent troops to help the Mongol tribe destroy the Naiman tribe.
He became a loyal dog of the Mongol tribe.
The tribal chieftain inherited the title of Prince Zhao during the Yuan Dynasty.
The Yinshan Shiwei tribe of Mogeshi was not even as good as the Ongud tribe.
The Jin dynasty pursued Yelü Yanxi all the way to Xijing Road.
Mogeshi also sent horses, camels, and sheep to both countries.
Perhaps the barbarians of the Jin Dynasty looked down on the Shiwei tribe.
In short, Mogeshi later sent troops to help Yelü Yanxi.
As a result, they were defeated by the Jin Dynasty.
His son, Tuogu, was also captured alive by the Jin dynasty.
Of course, Mogeshi would not yield because of one son.
Or perhaps the Jin dynasty had severely humiliated Mogeshi.
In short, Mogeshi continued to be loyal to Yelü Yanxi.
Later, Zhao Yuan led his troops north.
They forced the Jin army to retreat.
He summoned the various departments of Xijing Road at Jiashan.
Yelü Yanxi has already fled to Shangjing Road.
Mogeshi could not escape.
