Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 820

North of Bei'an Prefecture, deep in the vast prairie.

The rain that had lasted for many days finally stopped, but the sky still did not clear up.

The gloomy weather is like the environment on the prairie at the moment, revealing a layer of breathless depression.

Earlier, Emperor Tianzuo sent Yelu Mage and Yelu Yanguang to lead the troops to approach Yanjing Mansion.Nabei'an Prefecture was besieged by the Liao army, and Yelu Mage, the Taishi of the Guard Division, led troops to sit in the town, while Yelu Yanguang continued to go south, leading tens of thousands of troops, known as [-] cavalry, and the soldiers headed straight for Tanzhou.

Of course, the Liao army would not take advantage of the Jurchen fire. Be it Bei'an Prefecture or Tanzhou, they were all just bluffing, and never did it with real swords and guns.

When the news of Aguda's defeat in Liaohe reached the prairie, Yelu Yanguang waved his hand, and he patted his ass and went home.

But the Yanjing army was unwilling.The little Khitan still dares to come and be presumptuous, come and leave whenever he wants, what does he think of this place?

Based on the fact that the general situation of the war in Liaodong has been decided, Song Jiang and Chao Gai have no worries, so they set out to prepare for revenge.

With Hu Yanzhuo leading the army and Shi Wengong as his deputy, Lu Qian sent Yelu Yujian over after seeing Hei Sanlang and Chao Gai's hand in hand.The latter was not Yelu Ma Wu and Yelu Zonglei. Yelu Yu saw that he had a deep-rooted enmity with Emperor Tianzuo, and he heard that it was such a dispatch, so he was willing to serve him immediately.

Hei Sanlang and Chao Gai also knew who Yelu Yujian was, with extraordinary intelligence and military strategy, so they were naturally willing to help.

Chao Gai urged some of the northern Hebei cavalry to go north as quickly as possible, contacted Xuan Zan of the Zhenghuang Banner, and even summoned the blue-faced beast in the west to cooperate in the battle.The latter gave Luan Tingyu and Zhe Kecun the horse army to attack.The two armies and horses in the west combined with the horse army in Yanjing Mansion's headquarters, which numbered [-].

The army attacked in three groups, one was Yanjing Prefecture's cavalry army, the other was Zhenghuang Banner, and the other was Luan Tingyu and Zhe Kecun.

The last two roads are to restrain the Udiri people and Moge losers who still exist in the north of Yinshan Mountain, but these are a small number of people, and the real target is the servants who have already moved south.The servants are from Shiwei.The latter is of the same lineage as Khitan, Khitan in the south and Shiwei in the north.One of the Mughal tribes is the Menggu tribe at this moment, the Mongols who swept across Asia and Europe in history.The Turks called Shiwei Dadan or Tataer, but the Khitans called them Zongservants. They made an exception for Shiwei in the northeast and still called them Shiwei.

In the late Li and Tang Dynasties, the Uyghur Khanate collapsed, most of the Uyghurs moved westward, and the northern prairie once again appeared in a vacuum.At this time, the Shiwei people in Mobei gradually migrated here to fill a large gap. After the Khitan conquered the prairie, some Shiwei people integrated into the Khitan tribe.But most of the resistance servants are still resistance servants.

The Khitans used to be very vigilant against servants, because the latter had a large population and filled the gap left by the Uyghurs, giving them a large living space.With many means, the servant of resistance has been turned into nine parts in more than a hundred years.But now the Khitan's vitality has been seriously injured, and its dominance over the western area of ​​Shangjing Road has plummeted.Moreover, after Wu Dili, Mo Geshi and other tribes realized the true power of the Khitans, they became increasingly domineering. Emperor Tian Zuo could not let his Khitans give birth to millions of tribesmen in one year, and all of them would grow up. aldult.In order to check and balance the increasingly unbalanced internal situation, he could only allow his ministry to conduct private trade with Yanjing and Datong Prefectures, and even trade military horses and ironware, leaving most of the Zhongjing Road north of Bei'an Prefecture to them. , the other side is to introduce blocking servants to check and balance Udiri, Mogesh and other departments in order to achieve internal balance.

These tribes are people who lead the bow, but they are not good at fighting under the suppression of the Khitan people for more than a hundred years. Herding sheep and horses is their specialty.But now I want to change the style of each department, but it is very difficult.This kind of army composed of conscripted herdsmen is not small in momentum and scale, but its actual combat effectiveness is worrying.Emperor Tianzuo could still control the overall situation in such a situation, the internal balance is one, and the few Khitan cavalry left in his hands is also an important reason.

After Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Mage saw that Jurchen's overall situation was irreversible, they immediately headed north.The number of armies along the way was constantly passing by, but they went back to their respective homes, and the tribal coalition forces naturally disbanded.

Hu Yanzhuo and the others took advantage of this opportunity to fight out. With Yelu Yujian as a guide, the Yanjing Army already controlled a lot of the rivers and lakes in the prairie, and even the locations of some tribes. What about the refugees who fled from the North? Don't say it.Not only did they know everything about the topography of the prairie, but they also knew everything about it.

Such a large army entered the prairie, and caught those nomadic tribes by surprise.How could they have imagined that the Han army, who had just died like a tortoise, rushed into the grassland in the blink of an eye?Unprepared, several southern tribes were swept away by the army in a short period of time.

When the news reached the ears of Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Mage, both of them had already entered Shangjing Road.After hearing the news, how could the two continue to return to Linhuang, so they hurriedly issued an urgent order to gather troops, and at the same time headed south quickly.

Shi Wengong is excellent in martial arts, but he is inferior to Hu Yanzhuo in the way of using soldiers, and Yelu Yujian is even more a good helper, so he will not be so unwise as to fight head-to-head with the Liao army going south. There were three horses in hand, leading the Liao army to slip up on the prairie.

The prairie in summer is the time when water and grass are luxuriant, no matter how hard you go, you can still find something to eat.

It's just that it rained a few days ago, but it made them suffer a lot.Even if there is a canvas raincoat to cover, what can I eat and drink?I can't eat a mouthful of hot rice or hot water, so I can only eat compressed biscuits.

At least it's not raining now.Hu Yanzhuo can't say whether he is happy or worried about this. He wants the soldiers to no longer suffer and the recovery of the Liao army's combat power is always inseparable.

"Regardless of gender, those who dare to resist are killed, and the rest are driven into the stables—"

At the foot of Ma Yu Mountain, beside the beautiful lake, the green grassland is flowing with unstoppable blood.

It seemed that it was because of the rain just now, or it might be because of too much blood stains. When Hu Yanzhuo looked at this lake at the foot of Mayu Mountain, he always felt that the water was clear and the sky was clear, which was very beautiful!

The dark clouds formed a golden border.Slowly, slowly.A ray of golden sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the clouds and shone on the water.The blue water of the lake dances with sparkling waves.The earth and the sky were dyed with brilliant colors, and a dazzling rainbow appeared in the sky.

Yelu Yanguang was a full day later than Hu Yanzhuo. When Hu Yanzhuo led the army to attack Mayu Mountain, although Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Mage were ashen-faced, they still insisted on reorganizing troops in Dading Mansion for a day.Their horses were thinned by a series of laps.However, the Liao army knew that their real combat power was weak, so they didn't dare to divide their troops to encircle them, so they could only follow behind the Qi army's buttocks. This efficiency is really bad.

Then, Yelu Yanguang of the Liao army continued to chase after Han'er, who had killed his confidant.

Yelu Yanguang buried his head in the chase, watching the remnants left by Huyanzhuo's army in pursuit, the tribal army in that team looked impatient, and they were the ones who felt the most threat when the Qi army entered the grassland.

Just look at how many tribes have suffered in this short period of time?How many tribes have no choice but to migrate northward, in this season of luxuriant water and grass, and at this time, it is the time to grow fat for cattle, sheep and horses.

However, on this day, Hu Yanzhuo kicked off another tribe in Mayu Mountain.This is an ordinary tribe, a small tribe, which has no resistance in front of tens of thousands of cavalry from the Qi army.After Qi Jun had a good meal here, he drew his knife and killed all the cattle and sheep of the tribe amidst the cries of men, women and children of the tribe, and then took all the horses away.

Bloodbath, murder! ?It's not that this idea has not arisen in Hu Yanzhuo's mind now.But such an evil law has serious consequences. First, it will drive the people of the grassland to become sworn enemies, leaving behind an indelible hatred.The second is that the enmity between them is not enough.

The reason why the Qi army was able to attack the Jurchens was also the Battle of Liaoyang.That's not the case. After Yili was captured without waiting for anyone, Lu Qian couldn't kill all the Wanyangui generals. He also killed all the Jurchen soldiers, the Bohai people, and other tribes over fifty captains. Killed them all.It was the Battle of Liaoyang that gave him the leverage. After the deep hatred was settled, it was logical to kill again.

But the current Qi army and Liao people are not like this.

"Report..." Tanma Feiqi came.

The "poison" brewing in Hu Yanzhuo's eyes also dissipated.And save it.

The Liao army came after them, "Keep the prisoners and let's go." Cattle, sheep and horses are the economy of the grassland.Capture the horses and kill the cattle and sheep, and the tribe will be finished.This is the policy that Hu Yanzhuo has implemented all the way. In the Central Plains, this can be said to have taken away everything from the people.The latter also wanted to eat, but it was summer and the weather was already hot. Not to mention how many of the dead cattle and sheep were left, no matter how many were left, they couldn't keep them.

In this case, a tribe is a burden, and each heavy burden can not only burden the Beiliao, but also cause internal struggles in the Liao army.This is a tribal alliance.

Now such a devastated tribe, only the population is left, and all the cattle, sheep and horses are gone.This burden is a big trouble for small and medium-sized tribes, but for powerful tribes, it is a big shiny piece of fat, so they can't help but fight for it!
With an order, ten thousand horses galloped away.Empty left a camp full of "oil and water"!
"Hahaha, hahaha..."

The Khitan iron cavalry led by Yelu Yanguang was better, but the leaders and heads of the tribal cavalry who followed, especially the grand masters, grand guards, grand lieutenants, etc. Seeing that there was not a single live cow or sheep, and looking at the camp full of women and children, after inquiring clearly, they couldn't help but let out a long, hearty laugh.

"As expected, as expected!"

The official positions on the prairie in the north of the Liao Kingdom, such as prime minister, grand master, grand protector, grand captain, situ, and Jiedushi, have big names but are really commonplace.Every palace account and every tribe has such an administrative system, but there are as many as hundreds of palace accounts and tribes under the Liao Kingdom.So they really aren't surprising.

These people looked at the devastated tribe as if they saw an opportunity to make up for their own losses, and even make themselves stronger.

Without cattle, sheep and horses, the tribe would have no food, just like the people in the Central Plains had eaten up all the wheat seeds.But the Khitan people are too busy to take care of themselves now, how can they have the ability to rescue them?The only way is to distribute them among the major tribes.Because only their big tribes can afford the living expenses of these populations.

This is not only a good opportunity to strengthen their tribe, but also a good opportunity to strengthen themselves.How does that make them not laugh out loud?
The losses caused by the frequent dispatch of troops by the tribe can all be made up for.What a wonderful thing.

Many people have forgotten the mission of their trip at this moment.I hope Qi Jun can continue like this so that they can take more advantage.And some small and medium-sized tribes were full of embarrassment and anxiety.

If such bad luck befell their tribe, it would be a catastrophe.The cunning Han'er only picked small and medium-sized tribes to attack.

At the same time, they also had more dissatisfaction with the big tribes, even though they might all be from the same lineage, they even wanted to obey orders from the same royal court.

All the benefits went to the big tribes. Small and medium-sized tribes like them didn't get any benefits at all, but they still sent troops and made efforts.How can they be calm?
Inadvertently, conflicts have arisen between the Liao army, although it is only a seed.
