Chapter 137

Zhao Kuangyin took the people away silently. Their trip was also risky, but they had some advice after all, and Guo Hao stayed alone, so he could only rely on himself for anything he encountered.

Abuli was still flowing, Guo Hao rode his horse on the grassland to search, and the bitter cold wind blew on his face, which could not shake his determination.

After following the trail for three days, Guo Hao simply stayed near a tribe. According to his judgment, Aburi would probably come to this tribe.

Sure enough, Aburi came the next afternoon, and there were a large number of people. In addition to the cavalry, there were also many cattle, sheep and horses in the team, which were their food rations.

Seeing Aburi's army, Guo Hao went straight to meet him. Someone quickly discovered him and said a lot of words, but unfortunately Guo Hao couldn't understand.

"Tell Aburi, just say I'm here, isn't he waiting for me!"

When the Khitans heard that he spoke Chinese, they informed Abuli, who was in the dome, holding a piece of mutton and teasing Liu Qingyi, who was locked in the chain.

"Report to the princess, there is a Han man outside!"

"Han? Bring him in!"

When Guo Hao walked into the Qionglu, Liu Qingyi was shocked. Although he had thought that Guo Hao would be the only one, he did not expect Guo Hao to come!

"Aburi, I'm here, you let my brother go!"

When Aburi saw Guo Hao, the surprise flashed in his eyes and sneered: "I didn't expect you to come, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Guo Hao said without changing his face: "Killing me will not do you any good!"

As he said that, Guo Hao glanced at Liu Qingyi and continued, "And the reason why you didn't kill him is that you just want to wait for me to come? Now that I'm here, if you let him go, I might be able to help you!"

Upon hearing this, Abuli's beautiful eyes shone with light. After seeing Guo Hao's methods, she really wanted Guo Hao to help her.

But Guo Hao left her a deep impression. She felt a little afraid and unwilling. She was a fierce horse on the grassland, so she was so easily conquered.

"Why should I believe you!"

Aburi insisted on his last stubbornness, and Guo Hao said expressionlessly: "Just because you are my woman!"

...

Aburi's army set out again, and this time there was an additional Han man in the crowd, following Aburi.

"The Dongdan Kingdom is the fief of the Ming King. As long as the Ming King is there, it should be your foundation. As long as the Dongdan Kingdom is defended, Yelu Ruan will have no choice but to do anything to you!"

The Dongdan Kingdom, namely the Bohai Kingdom, has a scope equivalent to the Northeast region of later generations, part of the Northeast of the Korean Peninsula and the Russian Far East.

After the rise of the Khitan Kingdom, it launched an attack on the Bohai Kingdom. In the first year of Tianxian, the Liao Kingdom destroyed the Bohai Kingdom and was named the crown prince Yelu Bei in this place, and was called the "Human Emperor King". Because the Bohai Sea is in the east of Liao, it is called the Dongdan Kingdom, which means the Dongkhitan.

The capital was built in the ancient capital of Bohai, Hukhan City, and was renamed Tianfu City, with the year name Ganlu.

The Dongdan Kingdom was governed according to the Bohai system. The monarch had the right to appoint hundreds of officials and tribute to the Liao Kingdom every year 50,000 fine cloths, 100,000 coarse cloths, and 1,000 horses.

There were four prime ministers, two of Khitan and Bohai people. Soon after, Liao Taizu died, and Yelu Bei, as the crown prince, went to the Liao Emperor's capital to attend the funeral.

In the end, Yelu Bei, who advocated complete sinicization, succumbed to the pressure of his mother Shuluping, who was unwilling to be too deeply sinicized, and took the initiative to give way to his younger brother Yelu Deguang, who was consistent with his mother's political views.

In December of the third year of Tianxian, Yelu Deguang promoted Dongping County to Nanjing, Liao Kingdom, and forcibly moved from Tianfu City to enrich Dongping County. In order to completely cut off the idea of ​​returning home and revenge, the Khitans decided to burn the original capital of Bohai City, "the palaces and palaces of the emperors and lords and marquises' houses were all turned into shredded rubble."

The fire burned for more than half a month, and the civilization of the Bohai Kingdom for more than two hundred years was destroyed.

According to the "History of Liao·Geographical Records", there were more than 9,400 Bohai residents who moved to Liaodong and other places this time, and most of the 103 cities obtained by the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Sea were also abandoned during this migration.

The Haidong Sheng Kingdom only left "the deserted city against the blue stream", while the literary and historical materials and articles of the Bohai Kingdom were burned, leaving only the ruins of palaces, castles and tombs, rubble, arrowheads and iron tools covered with red rust.

The prosperous era returns to the vast world overnight.

In the fifth year of Tianxian, Yelu Bei, who moved south to Nanjing, felt that Yelu Deguang was still suspicious of him, so he fled to the Later Tang Dynasty. The Dongdan Kingdom was in name only, and his successor was Yelu Ruan, the eldest son of Yelu Bei.

Since the demise of the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai people have tried to revive the Bohai Kingdom many times, but all failed. Most of the Bohai people were forcibly moved to other states in the Liao Kingdom, and many parts have also gone to Goryeo.

During this period, the Restoration Movement established countries such as the Hou Bohai, Ding'an Kingdom and Xingliao Kingdom, but these countries were eventually destroyed by the powerful Khitan.

In the sixth year of Tianxian, Liao established Zhongtai Province in Nanjing according to the old rules of the Bohai Kingdom. The last king of the Bohai Kingdom, Damou, joined forces with the Lie clan of the Nanhai Prefecture to pursue the Bohai Kingdom's crown prince Da Guangxian.

Da Guangxian led tens of thousands of people to flee to Goryeo, but many of them ran away this time. In the 11th year of Tianxian, the Dongdan Kingdom was annexed by Liao. In the same year, Lie Wanhua, a member of the Lie clan, moved from Nanhai Prefecture to Yalu Prefecture.

In the thirteenth year of Tianxian, Liewanhua established Ding'an Kingdom. In the same year, Liao renamed Nanjing to Tokyo, which also shows that the territory of Liao Kingdom was advanced to the south and contracted to the west at this time.

Guo Hao also came here to learn about this history. It is located in a remote place, and even the Khitans are unwilling to come. It is a veritable bitter and cold place, but it is also a relatively safe place.

The city was burned down and hundreds of miles were deserted, but it was Goryeo that continued to go east, and there were many Bohai people there, so Guo Hao wanted to use the power of Goryeo to protect Aburi's tribe!

The weather gradually became gloomy and it seemed that it was going to snow. Aburi couldn't help but see that Guo Hao didn't speak.

"Where are you going to take us? Going east is the sea!"

Guo Hao did not look back and said casually: "I can't get there. Going east is Goryeo. It's a large peninsula, far from the sea!"

Abuli is not familiar with geography, and he also runs around on the grassland based on his memory. If Guo Hao did not come, he would be caught by Yelu Anbo after eating.

Moreover, it was getting colder and moving west was not a good idea. The eastern part of Dongdan Kingdom was sparsely populated and there were no cities, so they had to go to Goryeo.

Aburi didn't say anything. In fact, she had no ambitions anymore. When he heard that Yelu Anbo's army was dispatched, he was already in power. If the confidants had not advised her to perseverely, she would have almost given up.

"When you arrive at the border of Goryeo, you let Yelu Anduan come forward. He is the king of Dongdan Kingdom and may be able to convince the old men of Dongdan Kingdom."

Abuli nodded. She still couldn't fight Guo Hao. Guo Hao originally planned to lead the tribe of Abuli to resist and completely disrupt the Khitan's internal affairs, but he softened.

But Guo Hao is not without his ideas. Aburi will become a nail he nailed to the Khitan. He plans to let Aburi hide temporarily. When the weather gets warmer, he will join forces with Goryeo to fight back against the Khitan. This is Guo Hao's first move.

So he made up a story that told Yelu Anduan very pitiful. The people of Bohai sacrificed a lot to restore the country, and Abuli's identity will be hidden for the time being.

"Okay, Xianzhou is here. Let's go into the city. Don't talk nonsense after entering the city. Let's spend this winter first!"

"good."

Abuli agreed to him. At this time, she had no idea. They migrated thousands of miles from Taizhou to Xianzhou. The cattle and sheep died on the road and could be made into jerky meat, but people died on the road and could only be buried casually.

There was only more than 6,000 left in a team of tens of thousands of people at this time. Guo Hao didn't want to see this, but he had no choice.

Xianzhou was not in China later generations. It was the first place in Goguryeo. In the Tang Dynasty, it was Nanjing Nanhai Prefecture, one of the five capitals of the Bohai Kingdom, and in the Goryeo period, it was the Jurchen place.

At this time, the Jurchens had not yet risen and were still afraid of the Khitan. Thinking of the strength of the Jurchen tribe in later generations, Guo Hao had a bold idea in his heart.

Guo Hao asked Aburi to send someone to express his intentions, saying that they had no malice. The Jurchens had seen the power of the Khitan, so they accepted them without hesitation.

Finally there was a place to settle down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the vast white earth, Guo Hao thought of Li Fu.

"I don't know how Fu'er is going. He will be born in two months. I don't know if I can rush back."
