Chapter 662: Too Familiar, Defeat Everywhere

Ninety-nine Springs in Monan.

Xiao Hunian held a huge wooden box in both hands and came to the open space in the right camp. More than a hundred Khitan women were setting up wooden frames in the open space to dry their leather. They were also singing little songs, bold and melodious, but it was Li Bai.

"Xia Ke Xing".

Luo Youdu supported Xiao Hunian's establishment of an account and allowed them to retain the customs of the Khitans. Of course, he did not want them to become Khitans completely. If that were the case, a hundred years later, the Khitans would still be Khitans. Once they became estranged, they would still have to work together.

What's the meaning?

Therefore, the tribe in Xiao Hunian's hands had the habits of the Khitan nomads, but its internal culture was gradually replaced by Han culture.

They began to learn Chinese, and the children read the classics and historical records and sang Chinese songs, which gave them the feeling of Khitan wearing Han bones.

After taking a long breath, Xiao Hunian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said loudly: "Pull it tighter. The tighter the leather is, the better. The last few days of good sunshine have allowed us to dry the leather.

Have a warm winter.”

Five or six Khitan women responded with a smile, came up, took out the leather stored in the wooden box, and took it to be dried together.

These leathers are the common property of their tribe. The men in their tribe go out hunting and get the leather of various animals, among which wolves and rabbits are the most common.

Xiao Hunian did not disturb their work, but patrolled the camp. The men and women in the tribe were busy with their own affairs. There were men carrying firewood and forging iron, and women cooking and sewing clothes. They came and went.

It's the smell of fireworks.

When they saw Xiao Hunian passing by, they would respectfully call out "general".

Xiao Hunian responded with a smile. It was not obvious at all that they came out to fight, just like daily life.

After walking around the camp, Xiao Hunian returned to his tent, picked up a notebook and read it.

During her years in Bianjing, her biggest gain was learning the orthodox cultural and military arts of the Central Plains.

Although military books such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Three Secret Strategies", and "Six Strategies" have long been on the streets and are also available in the Khitan. However, these general military books mostly teach general principles and do not provide any real details.

The content is composed by the generals of past dynasties based on their own marching experiences.

These things often appear in the form of handwritten notes and are passed down from generation to generation.

For example, the notes Fu Yanqing gave to Luo Youdu contained the war experiences of several generations of the Fu family. Especially the notes left by Fu Cunshen shocked Luo Youdu.

Fu Yanqing, the guy who made the Khitan exclaimed King Fu, is indeed awesome, but compared to his father Fu Cunshen, he is still a level lower.

Xiao Hunian can be regarded as half of Luo Youdu's apprentice, and he learned a lot from him.

Later, Chai Kehong moved to Bianjing, and Xiao Hunian learned a lot from him. Compared with the historical commander-in-chief who was so powerful in Mobei that he overwhelmed Mongolia and Wugu, he was younger in age.

A lot, but the ability is not less than a little bit weak.

"General!" Xiao Talin's voice sounded outside the tent.

Xiao Hunian put down the note and said, "Come in!"

Xiao Tat entered the tent in a furious manner, with a look of joy on his face, and said, "Everything is just as the general said. Upon learning that I am attacking in the direction of Mobei, the Wu family's beggar has already sent troops to bring back the cattle and sheep."

Xiao Hunian nodded and said: "Keep an eye on them for me. Once they drive the cattle and sheep far away, they will immediately harass them. In short, they cannot be allowed to feed the cattle and sheep, cannot be allowed to go out hunting, and cannot store food for the winter."

Xiao Talin stamped his feet and beat his chest, loudly accepting orders.

Xiao Hunian said: "Go and call your father."

After a while, Xiao Shu and Lu Lie walked into the tent.

Xiao Hunian asked about the situation of stored supplies and said: "After winter comes, it is the day of decisive victory. Our people cannot freeze. We must make statistics in advance to keep out the cold. If there is not enough, we must ask the court for it in time."

She doesn't see herself as an outsider.

This is a fight for Dayu. It is reasonable and reasonable to ask for winter clothes when winter comes.

Xiao Shulu Lie looked at Xiao Hunian who looked like a general, and secretly praised in his heart: "The old patriarch has given birth to a good daughter."

His uncle watched Xiao Hunian's growth.

When she first arrived in Monan and held high the Xiao Jiayi flag, Xiao Hunian was still a little green. As the number of people in the clan increased, the clan became stronger, and the heavier the burden, the faster she grew.

This expedition was the first time Xiao Hunian led a large corps to fight.

In just three months, he had already begun to look like a general.

Xiao Hu's troops were the first to attack, and fought many rounds with Mongolia, but without any results.

This is not a matter of strength, but that Mongolia is too slippery.

Knowing the gap in equipment, they did not attack directly, but attacked in roundabout ways. They continued to carry out sneak attacks, just like the wolves on the grassland, looking for flaws with their tenacious will and patience.

What the Mongols did, the Khitans also did.

The two sides are fighting each other in a tug-of-war, which is just a small fight.

At first, Xiao Hunian wanted to perform well and show his face in front of Ai Lang. He was eager to fight, solved Mongolia, and supported Luo Youdu.

The two of them went to Beijing to kill each other, so that she could avenge her father with her own hands.

In her mind, she violated a military taboo and suffered a small loss.

Xiao Shulu Lie relied on his experienced experience to figure it all out and did not cause any big losses.

After this incident, Xiao Hunian was enlightened and no longer impatient. With Xiao Shulu Lie's reminder, he also understood the meaning of Wu's beggar.

It’s not that the beggar of the Wu family really didn’t dare to fight, but that he didn’t want to fight and was unwilling to sacrifice Mongolia’s vitality to give the Eastern Khitans a chance to win.

Although Mongolia has unified Mobei, its strength has been greatly improved compared to the past. But Yelu Abaoji taught him a lesson in the early years. The overall strength is there. Even if it is unified, it will not be able to shake the Central Plains of the Southern Dynasties.

If Mongolia wants to gain, the only thing it can rely on is that the Eastern Khitans win this battle. The strength of the Central Plains of the Southern Dynasties will be greatly damaged, and they will lose control of Monan.

Only in this way can Mongolia hope to carve up the Central Plains with the Eastern Khitans.

This is also the reason why the Wu clan beggars want to cooperate with the Central Plains. The power of Mongolia is not enough to support Monan and Mobei. Only with the support of the Central Plains like Xue Yantuo did in the past, can they openly annex the grassland tribes and become a veritable grassland overlord.

.

It was just that Luo Youdu disdained Mongolian cooperation and only wanted obedient dogs, so the beggar of the Wu family settled for the next best thing and joined the Eastern Khitans.

The beggar of the Wu family did not trust the Eastern Khitan. He was afraid that if he won the battle, his own strength would be greatly damaged.

Even if Dong Khitan wins by then, he will not be given the promised Yun Jiuzhou, but will be killed casually.

I am also worried that if I defeat myself, once the Central Plains defeats the East Khitan, the hatred will be too deep and it will be difficult to get along with them in the future.

Therefore, the beggar of the Wu clan wanted to drag him away, preventing him from supporting the Central Plains and creating opportunities for the Eastern Khitans.

After thinking through this section, Xiao Hunian realized that it was impossible for him to win quickly, so he began to change his thinking in order to destroy Mongolia.

Xiao Hunian knew Luo Youdu's ambitions and that he wanted to develop Dayu into a dynasty that was unprecedented and unprecedented.

Mobei does not allow any resistance.

After careful planning, Xiao Hunian came up with a way to force Mongolia to fight decisively.

Just take advantage of this winter.

The most difficult thing for nomads is winter...

Every winter is a test for the nomads.

Throughout history, there are many tribes that were destroyed and buried by wind and snow.

It is because of the harsh winter that the nomads spend most of their days in the spring, summer and autumn storing resources for the winter before they have fully grown in strength and consolidated supplies, and hibernate in winter. If the supplies are not enough, they go south to plunder.

According to the habits of the nomads, Xiao Hunian threatened the Mongolian sheep, preventing them from grazing comfortably, reducing their milk production, attacking their hunting troops, denying them additional food sources, threatening their rear areas, and allowing them to

They cannot farm safely.

In winter, Wu's beggars will inevitably run out of food and ammunition.

Captured in one fight!

Xiao Shulu Lie also knew Xiao Hunian's plan and said: "Beware of them attacking in advance. Wu's Qier is not an ordinary person, and the chief of Wu Liangha under him is famous for his scheming and should not be underestimated.

.”

Xiao Hunian smiled and said: "I wanted to fight before, but they didn't fight. Now they want to fight, but I don't want to fight with them. Attack by force? It's time to try the defensive method taught by Uncle Chai."

**********

Mongolian camp!

Bo Duancha'er, the first generation member of the Golden Family, appeared in front of the Wu family's beggar with a somewhat sad expression, "The patriarch, Xiao Talin has returned to Ninety-nine Springs."

Wu's beggar cursed angrily, "Damn women, they are more cunning and hateful than the people of the Central Plains."

Knowing that his opponent was a female prostitute, Wu's beggar didn't take her seriously at first, thinking that if he hadn't been in a hurry to win, he would have easily destroyed her with only 20,000 troops.

However, a series of targeted actions followed, which gave Wu's beggar a headache and made him very passive.

Especially a month ago, after Xiao Talin rushed thousands of miles away and burned down the highland barley they planted near the Kulun River, Wu's beggar had already understood Xiao Hunian's intention.

The other side is trying to pull the plug and doesn't want them to spend this winter.

Bo Duan Cha'er also looked helpless at this moment. He originally wanted to use Wu's Qi'er to defeat both sides in the war with the Central Plains. Then, with the support of the Eastern Khitan, he annexed the eight enemy tribes and became the overlord of Mobei.

It's just that the beggar of the Wu family was also on guard against the Eastern Khitans and was unwilling to waste time with Xiao Hunian, which led to him falling into today's predicament.
