Li Qin, who was far away, was also awakened by his subordinates because of the firelight coming from the Tatar camp in the distance.
"What happened?"
"Your Excellency, the Tatars, the Tatar camp is on fire."
After waking Li Qin, Qi Duchen excitedly said to him.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately became excited, walked to a high place, took out his binoculars, and looked at the distant firelight.
That was indeed the location of the Tatar camp, and specifically the camp of the Tatar Khan, Lingdan Batur.
Such a large fire must have been arson.
The entire Tatar Khan's camp was ablaze.
Someone launched a surprise attack on the Tatar Khan's camp.
who?
Those Tatar chieftains didn't have the guts.
That leaves only Zhou Wentong, whom I sent out myself.
He's the only one left.
That guy finally arrived.
Immediately after Li Qin made his decision, another personal guard came before him and said:
"My lord, many envoys from the Tatar tribes have arrived."
"The envoy of the Tatar tribe."
"Let them come over."
Li Qin directly ordered them to summon the Tatar envoys.
Upon seeing Li Qin, they immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully reported the news they had brought.
That means they came on behalf of their chieftain and all expressed their desire to pledge allegiance to Li Qin.
And his vanguard was already hunting down the chaotic remnants of Zero Single Batur's forces.
Hopefully, he can keep his promise to them.
After hearing their words, Li Qin repeatedly assured them that he would definitely keep his word.
Tell them to return to their tribes as soon as possible to report.
Watching their retreating figures, Li Qin shook his head.
They're a pack of hungry wolves.
I had tried to win them over many times, but they all refused.
Seeing that the camp of Zero Orders Batur was in chaos, they immediately rushed over.
They not only divided up his tribe and resources, but also came to demand the benefits he had promised.
They are all a group of extreme egoists.
That makes sense, though, if he crippled his own Liaodong headquarters.
Unable to deter his non-direct subordinates or troops who were subservient to his warlords.
They probably will treat themselves the same way the tribal chiefs treated Zero Single Batur.
He devoured himself completely, and then took his own head to his new master to claim credit.
They're all the same.
But now, I've won.
He then immediately ordered his troops to wake up and attack in full armor.
Upon hearing the order to attack, Peng Jiahu, who had been itching for a fight, quickly donned his armor and mounted his horse.
He led the remaining cavalry of his army and charged towards the Tatar army in the north.
Behind them, the remaining tens of thousands of troops, illuminated by torches, advanced in an orderly fashion toward the north.
They relentlessly slaughtered the scattered Tatar tribes that still tried to resist.
The chaos and fighting of the night came to an end.
As the sun gradually rose, the chaos that had lasted until midnight finally came to an end.
Under the protection of several thousand personal guards, Li Qin arrived at the Tatar Khan Lingdan Batur's camp, which had already been occupied.
Before him knelt hundreds of Tatar tribal leaders.
They all said they would submit to his tribal chiefs.
Li Qin looked at the leaders of the Tatar tribes in front of him; he had indeed made contact with some of them.
But there are some tribes he really has no contact with.
They realized the situation was bad, so they immediately ran over and surrendered to him.
They're such a bunch of opportunists.
Li Qin sat down and looked at the Tatar tribal leaders kneeling in front of him.
Several of these tribes were quite large, with each of them commanding over ten thousand soldiers.
However, we can try to win them over by looking back at the women in our own clan and seeing if there are any suitable ones to marry into the clan.
It's about building rapport, though he doesn't have much faith in these so-called arranged marriages.
But something is better than nothing, right?
When it comes down to it, the steward will have this relationship.
Li Qin looked at the chieftains of the Tatar tribes in front of him.
It can be said that of the more than 200,000 Tatar troops, besides those who died, there were also those who escaped in the chaos last night.
About 130,000 to 140,000 surrendered to him.
He could easily bring the southern grasslands under his control by settling them there.
You should know that the southern grasslands have never been under our control.
Much of the southern steppe was occupied by the Tatar Khan Lingdan Batur and his vassal tribes.
Now his power has vanished.
Many areas of the southern grasslands have become vacant.
This is a good opportunity to fill their positions and provide them with a place to stay.
Let them form a defensive line to help them stop the tribes from the northern desert.
Although the Tatar Khan Lingdan Batur also summoned a large number of tribes from the northern desert.
Many of the Tatar tribal chiefs kneeling before him now come from the northern desert.
It can be said that this was also the weakest time for the northern desert.
If I send troops, I can quickly reach the northern desert and no one can stop me.
But what happens next?
Why is it that throughout the history of the Central Plains, so many people have repeatedly fought their way to the northern deserts, yet they have been unable to control the situation?
Even if it is controlled, it cannot be controlled in the long term.
This is because occupying the northern desert, stationing troops there, and appointing officials are all extremely expensive.
Moreover, much of northern Inner Mongolia is Gobi Desert, where income and expenditure are not proportional at all.
That would be a constantly bleeding financial wound.
