In the early morning of the next day, Wang Can walked into the Chinese army's tent and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, the flying eagle messages from Huo Kan and Bo Lehan have arrived.
Today, the two armies of Yinshi arrived at Kuole's camp and quickly launched an attack.
Originally, the Kuolezu tribe had a battle with the Jixi tribe yesterday morning. , the two sides did not decide the winner, but both suffered some losses.
The Kuole tribe did not expect that our army would suddenly appear and launch an attack at Yinshi, so all the troops and horses were annihilated by our army.
Now Huokan and Bolehan have been separated.
Send troops and horses to attack the settlements of the Kuole tribe in various places."
Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed: "Okay, Huo Kan and Bo Lehan really did not disappoint me, right?
How is the attack on the settlements of the Chachibo Yi tribe going?"
Wang Can said: "Zou Benbu, Kimak and my escort troops have all been sent out.
News has come one after another that many people from the Chachiboyi tribe are migrating to the Bulgar territory in the northwest and the west.
It is said that Kuo Kuo A large number of people from the Lehu tribe also migrated to the west with their families, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock.”
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and asked Dugujun, who was sitting on one side: "Mr.
Dugu, how do you observe the migration of the Ciboyi and Kuolehu people?"
Dugujun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the migration of these two tribes will have no benefit or harm to us in Western Qin, but it will have great benefits to the three tribes in the south of Pecheneg.
The three tribes in the north will either be exterminated, or If they migrate, the territory they left behind will be divided among the three southern tribes, or the northern Bulgars will move south to occupy these territories, and these people's Migration will inevitably bring huge pressure to the Bulgars, Mordovans, and Slavs, and their territories will inevitably be invaded by these people.
There is also a possibility that they will move westward to the northwest coast of the Black Sea.
The two Pecheneg tribes are moving from the seat of their tribe, but this must pass through the territory of the Khazars, which will also bring trouble to the Khazars."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "As long as they migrate westward, it will be good for us, because their migration will bring trouble to other surrounding tribes."
Wang Can said again: "Your Majesty, there is another news, I don't know whether it is good or bad."
"explain" "Our people who stayed in Jici, Chuo Benbu and Zou Benbu came back with news that there are many small tribes in the three southern tribes who are dissatisfied with the Badasi, Quzisi and Kuo'er Kuotai for joining us in attacking the three northern tribes.
These small tribes The tribe is not ashamed of the behavior of Badas and others, but there is nothing they can do against them for the time being, and These people were also wary that Batas and others would take the opportunity to cause trouble for them after hearing the news of their dissatisfaction.
Therefore, many small tribes of the three southern tribes began to migrate westward, from the Yayik River to the Yeli River.
You can see Pecheneg people migrating with their cattle and sheep everywhere on the grasslands between them."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "It seems that the Pecheneg people as a whole have begun a great migration.
Do Badasi, Quzisi and Kuo'erkuotai know the news?"
Wang Can said: "They have been leading their troops to confront the three northern tribes in the north these days.
They don't know about this yet, but the news should have reached them now."
Before Zhao Ziliang could speak, a guard came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, Badasi Khan wants to see you."
"Invite him in" "Yes, Your Majesty" The curtain was lifted up, and Badasi walked in with a sad face and saluted: "Your Majesty, something happened to the little Khan's clan.
The little Khan must rush back now to deal with the matter of attacking the settlements of Chasiboyi tribe.
I’m just afraid I won’t be able to participate.”
Zhao Ziliang said quite understandingly: "Batasi, I already know what happened in your clan.
Anyway, the main force of the Chacha Bo Yi tribe has been wiped out by us.
There are no big battles to fight.
I allow you to Take your men and horses back to deal with the affairs of the clan.
When the matters here are handled, I will lead the army south to join you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty.
Little Khan will retire."
One day later, Kuo'er Kuotai from the Ji Ci tribe and Qu Zisi from the Chuo headquarters rushed over with a small number of guards to report that something had happened in the clan and they had to go back to deal with it.
Zhao Ziliang did not feel embarrassed and let them go back.
On April 25, Zhao Ziliang led his army to join the Huokan and Bulkhan tribes at the confluence of the Volga River and the Ufa River.
"Huo Kan, can you tell me how the attack on the settlements of the Kuole tribe is going?"
Zhao Ziliang asked, sitting in the main seat of the big tent.
Huo Kan stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, we have only captured a small number of settlements of the Kuolezu tribe.
Most of the settlements were already empty land by the time our soldiers and horses arrived.

They were all moved away.
The general will personally lead them."
The people chased westward for a while and captured some people.
After questioning, they learned that they would definitely lose in this battle, so We have already made preparations to move westward.
In addition, there are people from the Chacibo Yi tribe who are migrating westward everywhere.
The grassland is huge and our troops are too scattered.
In order not to be divided and eaten, the general will eventually I ordered the soldiers to gather together and let the migrating people pass without pursuing them.
Please forgive me."
Zhao Ziliang said: "If the Pechenegs want to move westward, let them move.
We will not waste our troops on them again.
You are not guilty, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Zhao Ziliang waved to a guard next to him and asked him to hang a sheepskin map on the wall of the tent.
They all pointed at the sheepskin map and said: "Look, everyone, the blue area on the sheepskin map is where the Pecheneg people are now." area, in the north, that is There are still people living in the upper reaches of the Yeli River.
There is a nation called the Bulgars living here.
They have dozens of tribes here, ranging from three to four thousand people in large ones to hundreds of small ones.
They are all lakes and swamps, and the Lihe River is also the source of Originating among the hills, lakes and swamps in this area, the Bulgars here are of the same race and ancestor as the Bulgars in the northwest of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Every adult of them is a hunter and a warrior.
They are extremely brave, their weapons and armor are relatively simple, and they have very few cavalry, because among the hills, lakes and swamps, the cavalry cannot carry out large-scale operations.
I want you to lead the fifth legion to stay here and conquer it.
Bulgars, are you willing to accept this military order?"
Huo Kan cupped his fists and said: "If there is a war, of course I will be willing.
I just don't know how much time the king will give me to conquer the Bulgars here."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and stretched out five fingers: "Five years" Everyone in the big tent was stunned after hearing this.
Five years is too long.
It would take five years to defeat a group of aliens who couldn't produce a decent weapon.
Doesn't the king think too highly of these Bulgars?
Huo Kan is a prudent person.
He knew that since Zhao Ziliang gave five years, it must not be a random time limit.
There must be a reason.
He said: "Yes, the general will conquer within five years."
The Bulgars of the North” Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Five years seems to be a long time, but in fact it is not that long.
Don't look at the Bulgars in the north.
They are a group of barbarians.
They have no decent weapons and armor, and only a few cavalry.
But they are all very capable."
Brave and brave, all of them are sharpshooters who can pierce the enemy with a hundred steps.
They often go in and out of hills, lakes, swamps and forests, climbing mountains and wading in water as if they were walking on flat ground.
If they are not defeated, they will hide on small islands in lakes, or perhaps in forests and swamps.
If the enemy is not familiar with the terrain and paths, Basically everyone will fall into their trap.
This war is not easy to fight, Huo Kan, your mission is not that easy to complete.
Don’t rush into fighting.
You need to send people to find out their living habits, the terrain and climate of each place, as well as their fighting methods and what abilities they have.
Understand all these things It's not too late to take action later.
Let's do this.

The Kipchaks live in the mountains and forests.
They have experience in fighting in the mountains and forests.
I will transfer the Kipchaks army from the east coast of the Caspian Sea to your command.
You will command the Fifth Army and the Kipchaks.
The Chaplain Army will complete the task of conquering the Bulgars in the north within five years."
"The last general takes command" Zhao Ziliang ordered the marching commander Chen Qing: "Send an order to Zhao Hu and ask him to mobilize the Qinchao army.
I am waiting for the arrival of the Qinchao army at the location of the Jisha tribe's Khan tent on the lower reaches of the Yeli River."
"promise" It would be best to transfer the Kipchaks over to fight the Bulgars.
The Kipchaks are both extremely elite cavalry and can be used as mountain infantry when dismounted.
They can be said to be a multi-functional force.
In another history of time and space, the Kipchaks later came to the west. advance and beat the barbarian tribes west of the Ural Mountains, including Pei The Chenegs and the Bulgars in the north, the Volga Bulgars were thus lost in history.
Only the Bulgars on the west coast of the Black Sea evolved into the Bulgarians, while the Pechenegs were forced to invade in large numbers due to the intrusion of the Kipchaks.
Moving westward, they passed through the territory of the Khazars and entered the northwest coast of the Black Sea and became neighbors with the Bulgarians.
Zhao Ziliang stationed troops at the confluence of the Volga River and the Ufa River, which greatly frightened the Mordovans in the west and the Bulgars in the north.
The Western Qin Army and the Kimak Army combined had more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 troops, which was so huge.
The number of troops should definitely be a big shock and threat.
No barbarian tribe dared to underestimate this force, but Zhao Ziliang's army did not stay here for too long.
On this day, Zhao Ziliang finished his official duties and walked out of the tent to stretch his muscles.
A female Taoist priest hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, my mother-in-law is sick.
I have come to ask Your Majesty to come over and take a look."
"Oh, let's go" The two came to the camp where Yang Yuhuan lived, and saw Yang Yuhuan lying on the animal skin quilt, coughing, and his face flushed.
"Yuhuan, why are you sick?"
Zhao Ziliang immediately walked over and asked with concern.
"Cough, cough, cough, it doesn't matter.
You are a doctor yourself.
You know your illness.
You just feel cold occasionally.
You will be fine in a few days."
Yang Yuhuan said with a forced smile.
Zhao Ziliang said disdainfully: "Come on, your medical skills are only half a bucket of water.
You can hardly treat others, let alone yourself.
There is an old saying since ancient times that a doctor cannot heal himself.
If someone comes, he will pass it on to the doctor."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After the doctor's diagnosis, the doctor reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, this female Taoist priest is very ill.
The main reason is that her body is relatively weak and this is a bitter cold place.
Therefore, the wind and cold infection this time is extremely serious.
Her illness Here we can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
If you want to be completely cured, you have to return to the warm south for recuperation.
I can prescribe some medicine to suppress it first, and then prepare the medicine for recuperation when you get to the south."
"Okay" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Yang Yuhuan: "Since you are sick and are not suitable to stay here to recuperate, tomorrow I will order the army to set off and return south.
Anyway, things have happened here and the army has almost rested.
It is time The Jin Army is heading south" Yang Yuhuan said quickly: "Ziliang must not delay military and state affairs for the slave family, it is not worth it."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "It's worth it, why isn't it worth it?
I can give it to you even if others can give it to you.
As long as you are safe and sound, what if I return immediately?"

After ten days of rest, Zhao Ziliang led the escort army, Dragon Guard army and Kimak army to the south along the banks of the Volga River, leaving Huokan's Fifth Army stationed in place waiting for the Kipchak army to come and join forces.
Ten days later, Zhao Ziliang led his army to the location of the Jicha tribe's sweat tent in the lower reaches of the Volga River.
The leader of the Jicha tribe, Kuo'er Kuotai, personally led people to greet him.
Here, Zhao Ziliang did not see Quzisi and Badasi.
This made him very dissatisfied
