Father can be an enemy to the country

The distance between Tongliao and Daning is almost the same as the distance between Qingzhou and Daning, both are more than 600 miles.

So at the same time that the Lanyu tribe arrived in Qingzhou, Wang Bi also led his 20,000 cavalry to the Tongliao area.

But unlike Gyeongju, there is no decent city here for the Mongols to gather.

In this era, this place was just a vast grassland with "the main road to the south, the Liao River to the west, Pinggang to the east, and Guangye to the north." Even the place name Tongliao was coined by Zhu Zhen.

The Mongolians call this place Horqin Grassland.

Throughout the history books, almost all the nomadic peoples who entered the Central Plains and established long-term rule first emerged in Mobei or Lingbei, then developed and expanded on this grassland, and finally crossed the Yanshan Mountains with an invincible and complete body and occupied the Central Plains. of.

This is of course no coincidence, because here there is a pleasant climate, vast and flat grasslands with abundant water and grass, and convenient transportation in all directions, allowing you to quickly reach Youyan or Liaodong. Only the truly strong can occupy this place, and after occupying this place, the strong will become stronger and stronger until they are invincible in the world.

The Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties could not be worse than this.

The people who occupy this place now are the Uliangha people. Although these Mongolized Khitans are far from comparable to their predecessors, they are already the strongest force on the grassland where thousands of horses are silent and heroes are withered. .

What Wang Bi has to face this time is them...

Based on what he had learned before and pre-war reconnaissance, Wang Bi heard that there was currently only the Wengniute tribe among the three Wuliangha tribes in Tongliao.

The other two units are hiding from the snowy and cold winter in the mountains north of Gyeongju.

Although the Wengniute tribe has about 20,000 troops, their cattle, sheep and horses consume too much hay every day, so it is impossible to gather them together. They must be divided into several tribes so that their livestock can have enough grass to eat.

This gave Wang Bi the opportunity to concentrate his forces and defeat them one by one. Therefore, although his troops were only 20,000, Wang Bi was sure of winning a complete victory.

It started smoothly. As soon as his troops arrived in Tongliao, the scouts discovered a tribe of two thousand people.

Wang Bi was very happy and immediately sent troops to surround it. He attacked with ten times the force and defeated the enemy who was overestimating his own strength and wanted to counterattack. More than 600 enemies were wiped out and nearly a thousand were captured. In addition, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, more than 4,000 Mongolian horses, and some fodder were seized. It can be said that I have gained a lot, and I no longer have to worry about military rations...

But Wang Bi had not been happy for a long time. A piece of bad news made him unhappy.

"Father, a prisoner said that Liao King Azasili led the Uuliangha people to Tongliao!" His eldest son Wang De reported in a deep voice.

Pre-war intelligence showed that Azashili, the leader of the three tribes of Wuliangha, was named King of Liao by the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He commanded the three tribes of Wuliangha, Wengniute and Wujiyete. He was the second largest military commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the northeast. The second most popular character in Naha.

He came with the Uliangha people,

"Oh, bring this person here." Wang Bi was discussing things over the fire with Guo Ying. He immediately gave the order after hearing this.

"Yes." Wang De responded, and soon a Mongolian man with a Khitan hairstyle came over.

"Kneel down!" Wang De shouted, but the unruly man didn't listen at all. Wang De kicked him in the socket of the knee, and he staggered to the ground on one knee.

"Are you dissatisfied?" Wang Bi said to the man while making tea with a copper tea pot.

"Not only did you conduct a sneak attack! You also used ten times the force to attack one of our tribes. It's so shameless!" the Mongolian man said angrily.

"I am scolding your ancestors by saying this." Wang Bi was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Didn't Temujin rely on cavalry maneuvers, surprise, concentration of superior forces, and victory with more to win every battle?"

"Indeed, scolding us is scolding your ancestors." Guo Ying couldn't help laughing: "If you lose, you lose. You can't win with your mouth. It will only embarrass your ancestors."

"Hmph..." The Mongolian man was furious for a while. He held it in for a long time and then said angrily: "You don't have to be proud. Our king has returned to Horqin with the Uuliangha people! We Ten Thousand Households have also given orders to assemble. I am the only one who left." At the far end, I received the news too late and didn’t have time to break camp..."

Of course Wang Bi ignored his regrets. He picked up the tea basket and poured tea for Guo Ying and himself. He said in a deep voice: "You are talking nonsense. The Uuliangha tribe was hiding from the cold wave in Qingyun Mountain. Why did they suddenly return to Horqin?" ?”

"Humph, I didn't expect that." The Mongolian man thought he was scared, so he said proudly: "We Khitan people never lie to others. The Uuliangha tribe came back from Qingyun Mountain!"

As he spoke, he explained: "No matter how good the Qingyun Mountains are, with hundreds of thousands of people and millions of livestock, everything they can eat will be eaten by the winter. In order to compete for the last pasture, various tribes will inevitably There was a conflict, but the clan king Xiantong, who was left by King Kaiyuan to talk things over, acted unfairly and favored his own people. Our king was so angry that he led the Uuliangha tribe back. "

"I still don't believe it. He will come back as soon as he comes back. Why do you Wengniute people gather together to welcome the king back for dinner?" Wang Bi took a sip of the red robe given to him by his son-in-law, shook his head in enjoyment and said: "On this snowy day, let's take a sip of hot tea. , even a girl wouldn’t change it.”

"That's an old man. Give it to me and I'll change it." Guo Ying said with a smile.

The two of them laughed, seemingly not taking the Mongolian man seriously.

That Mongolian man was a dignified man. Although his official position in Beiyuan was seriously devalued, he still took himself seriously. He felt that he had been greatly insulted and said angrily: "Of course not, we want to go back to the Northeast!"

"Oh?" Wang Bi's pupils shrank, but he still looked nonchalant and said: "Why are you going back to the Northeast in this world of ice and snow?"

"At least we can still walk on the road now, but in a month the snow will melt and it will be impossible to walk on." The Mongolian man said.

"Nonsense, what about the Wujiyete tribe? You three families are in the same spirit, and have always advanced and retreated together. Your two families are going back to the Northeast, why are they still in Fuhei Mountain?" Guo Ying suddenly said quietly, holding a tea cup.

"This..." The Mongolian man was at a loss for words. With his simple brain, of course he couldn't understand that this was actually a pretense of their king, threatening Naha Chu. If you don't face us, we will go back to the northeast.

But he didn’t really want to quarrel with Naha, so he kept one of them. This is the same as some lesbians saying they ran away from home, but deliberately left all their clothes and cosmetics behind...

The Mongolian man couldn't understand and thought Guo Ying's doubts were reasonable. So he told everything he knew about the upper-level movements, like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, to prove that he was not lying.

Wang Bi and Guo Ying tried their best to trick him out, then waved their hands and asked people to take him down.
