Jinzhou.
Looking at the still-defensible city of Jinzhou despite continuous attacks.
You Chu and the Tatar general who came with him also looked helpless.
Looking at the city of Jinzhou in the distance.
A Tatar general rode up and said in Tatar:
"Chief, our tribe's warriors are not good at sieges, and we have suffered many losses in our sieges recently."
These are all warriors of our tribe. If we suffer too many losses, how will we survive on the grasslands in the future?
Several tribes around us are eyeing us covetously.
The tribal chief nodded repeatedly after hearing his words.
Indeed, they followed the Great Khan south to plunder money and grain, not to fight the Southern Dynasty to the death.
If there are too many casualties, the Khan will not use the men of his own tribe to compensate him.
If they suffer too many casualties, even if they loot a lot of money and food, they won't have enough people to protect them.
In the dog-eat-dog world of the grasslands, you have no power, yet you possess so much wealth.
That would be the perfect target for takeover.
He then made a decision: he would just put on a show and pretend to sweat it out.
We can't really fight.
These losses were all to his own troops.
If they encounter reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty, they can simply run away.
Haven't they been like this for the past few decades?
Even if we could win, we couldn't fight if the casualties were too high.
Because these people are their means of survival on that dog-eat-dog grassland.
He then immediately ordered his troops to ease up their offensive.
Upon seeing that the offensive had actually slowed down, You Chu from the team immediately came over and said:
"General, why did you let your troops relax their attack?"
We must take Jinzhou before Li's reinforcements arrive.
Only in this way can Liaoxi be sealed off and Li's reinforcements blocked.
This will give the Great Khan time to conquer Liaodong, and then defeat the traitor Li.
In response to You Chu's words, the Tatar chieftain waved his hand, signaling the translator beside him to translate:
"Our chief said that the warriors in the tribe are exhausted from the continuous sieges."
We should take a break now.
"Tired? Need rest?"
After hearing what they said, You Chu was also very angry and said:
"General, we are exhausted, and the garrison in the city is also exhausted. Moreover, since we attacked suddenly, their garrison must not be many troops."
Now is the time for us to seize Jinzhou in one fell swoop.
How can you give up just because you encounter a little difficulty?
The Tatar chieftain's expression changed upon hearing You Chu's words.
Go all out in one go?
You make it sound so easy. The people who died weren't yours, nor were they from the Great Khan's tribe. They were all men from my tribe.
They're using the lives of the men in our tribe to block reinforcements from other tribes.
He's not that stupid.
He then angrily said in Tatar:
“I am the chief, and the people here listen to me. If I say to relax the attack, then we will relax the attack.”
After he finished speaking, he rode away without giving You Chu a chance to say another word.
You Chu was also extremely angry as she watched him leave.
He realized that this was because he didn't want any more men in his tribe to die.
These Tatars were all disorganized and each one was thinking about the selfish interests of their own tribe, wanting to preserve their own tribe's strength so that other tribes would fight desperately.
They completely disregard the bigger picture.
Looking at the distant city of Jinzhou, he knew that everything was over.
After the Tatars ceased their fierce siege and began to feign weakness...
It is absolutely impossible to take Jinzhou City.
The plan to cut off western Liaoning failed.
Li Qin's reinforcements could arrive in Liaodong at any time via the Liaoxi Corridor.
When the Tatar Khan sent other tribes instead of his own to attack Jinzhou.
He should have thought of that.
These Tatar tribal chiefs were all harboring their own ulterior motives.
How could I possibly work my heart out?
As for having the Tatar Khan send his own troops, they might try to capture Jinzhou.
However, there is absolutely no way he would do that.
Sending his own troops to capture Jinzhou would result in significant casualties, but Jinzhou is certainly not as wealthy as Liaodong.
Moreover, capturing Jinzhou would be tantamount to the first battle for Li Qin's reinforcements.
Having blocked Li Qin's reinforcements, Li Qin will definitely fight to the death.
At that time, he would lead his troops to fight Li Qin to the death in Jinzhou, while the chieftains of other tribes would plunder the empty and wealthy Liaodong.
He planned to lead his own troops and fight Li Qin's reinforcements to a standstill.
Let the other tribes eat their fill and return to the grasslands satisfied.
By then, the other tribes had suffered little damage, but his own tribe and Li Qin's tribe had been decimated in the battle.
He might not have even returned to the grasslands yet, because he wasn't strong enough to intimidate other tribes, and was divided up by them on the way.
His position as Great Khan was thus taken by a different person.
You Chu, who had only just figured it out, finally sighed.
Even the best plan needs people to execute it.
Everyone has their own thoughts and interests.
When formulating plans and policies, one can only proceed from the overall situation.
If the interests of those who implement the policies are not taken into account, even the best plans and policies will be ruined by those who implement them.
Many plans and policies are deliberately designed with loopholes and room for manipulation, just to feed those who implement them.
Only by feeding them and ensuring they also benefit from the plan and policies will they wholeheartedly implement them.
No matter how good his plan was, he was no match for the Tatars, a loose alliance with everyone harboring their own agendas and intertwined interests.
No matter how good a plan is, it can never be executed well.
I was indeed too hasty. I didn't fully understand the internal interests of the Tatars before hastily formulating this plan.
The actual situation of the Tatars was completely ignored.
Looking at the disorganized Tatars behind him, despite their seemingly massive army of 200,000.
But how many of these loosely allied forces would be willing to fight to the death if they were to clash with Li Qin's army?
Undeniably, although they were all extremely brave, each tribe had its own hidden agenda.
If they can't unite, how can they unleash the fighting power of tens of thousands of people?
They can basically only win when they have an advantage.
Don't let the tribal chiefs start running away to preserve their strength as soon as they face Li Qin.
He then turned his gaze toward Liaodong in the distance.
Hopefully, the Tatar Khan will quickly take over the vulnerable Liaodong.
We must quickly resolve the situation in Liaodong and then wait here for Li Qin's reinforcements.
Otherwise, he was certain that these Tatars in front of him would be no match for Li Qin's army.
To preserve their strength, they'll definitely run faster than anyone else.
