Cars and horses, and pedestrians and bows and arrows are all on their waists.

The long winter in Mobei has finally passed, and everything has come back to the earth. However, there is no way to compare the spring in Mobei and the warm spring in Yanjing. Even at noon, the highest temperature in the day, the strong cold wind blows on the face, and it still feels like a knife cut. If it is at night, the temperature will drop from time to time to time... It's really cold!

However, no matter how cold the weather is, these exiles who left their hometown, left their warm and prosperous hometown, bid farewell to the comfortable and comfortable life of the Great Liao Dynasty, still have to follow their king Yelu Dashi, and leave the camp where they sit in the winter with the howling cold wind, and embark on a journey of migration.

Of course, they were not going to migrate to Central Asia to open up new worlds, but moved from the leeward camp where they were sitting in winter to the spring pasture.

Now Yelu Dashi and his followers do not live in Kedun City, Zhenzhou all year round. In fact, Kedun City is just a fortress used to defend in wartime. They cannot live there all year round because there is no food... The climate in the north of the Mobei region is dry and cold, and even in the Kedun City area with abundant water and grass, it is impossible to support nearly 20,000 families following Yelu Dashi.

This is nearly 20,000 households, more than 150,000! If we include the herds on which they rely for survival, it is millions of mouths! How can the little turf around Korden City be enough to eat?

So Yelu Dashi, who was born in Shangjing, Daliao, grew up in Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing, Daliao, was a scholar of literary talent, and was able to recite poems in Chinese to write articles. Now he has lived a khan king on the grassland.

I don't know how long I haven't worn the bright and beautiful silk robe. Now I'm just wrapped in a thick leather robe to keep warm. My white and elegant face is now carved with patterns and old leather by the wind and snow in Mobei. Coupled with a messy beard, it looks particularly vicissitudes.

However, his physique and spirit are still extremely strong! Even if the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, he cannot be defeated. What is the wind and snow in the north of the border?

Although Yelu Dashi's followers have now become a nomadic tribe, they have not given up on their dream of regaining their hometown and restoring the former glory of the Great Liao Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this dream that 150,000 people will travel thousands of miles to gather around Dashi, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of bitterness and coldness, and will never stop until death.

In order to realize this far-reaching dream, Yelu Dashi and his followers not only had to go through the water and plants, but also constantly launched wars during the migration process to fight against the surrounding areas of Yelu Dashi, the king of the Liao Kingdom (now Dashi was called emperor, but the king of the Liao Kingdom).

These tribes were rebellious when the Great Liao Kingdom was still strong. Otherwise, the Great Liao would not have stationed 20,000 troops around the city of Kedun, Zhenzhou for a long time, and claimed that they could not be transferred no matter what (in fact, many were transferred, otherwise there would have been less than 20,000 households in Dashi). Now that the Great Liao is in such a state, why should these people obey Yelu Dashi, the devastated Liao king?

Therefore, except for winter, Yelu Dashi can only stay still, and in the rest of the three seasons, he will inevitably fight with the Tatars and stop the divine people.

Although the fighting skills of the people below have improved a lot due to frequent practice, Dashi's prestige has gradually been established in the middle of the Mobei Grassland.

However, frequent wars brought an insurmountable "supply chain crisis" to Yelu Dashi and his men. Yelu Dashi's subordinates now have no stable source of iron tools! And wars cannot avoid consuming iron tools!

Due to the "grassland iron ban" that Daliao itself pursued for more than a hundred years, and the mining and handicrafts on the grassland are very backward and iron can not be produced at all, the grassland has always been short of iron.

Although the Great Liao has collapsed, the Jurchens replaced it are still trying to maintain the "grassland iron ban". The Dabai Gaoguo, who had originally relied on the support of the Liao Dynasty to survive the fierce attack of the Song Dynasty, turned against him and refused to export iron tools to the grassland after surrendering to the Jurchens.

In this case, the iron tools in Dashi's troops will inevitably be damaged but not helped, and the more they are hit, the fewer they will be... If they continue to consume this, Dashi's elite soldiers will not be able to maintain an absolute advantage in the war against the slaughter and Tatars!

Just when Yelu Dashi was anxious about the iron supply crisis, there was a surprise good news from Keduncheng... The mission sent by Xiao Heda, who followed Princess Cheng'an to Dabai Gaoguo and gained wealth in Dabai Gaoguo, arrived in Keduncheng last winter.

Xiao Heda's envoy also brought shocking news: the Great Bai Gao Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat in a war with the Song Dynasty, and Xiao Heda seized the opportunity to turn against him and now became the governor of the Dingnan Army of the Song Dynasty, with Xia, Yin, You and the Heishan Army Division!

This is really a bit like a dark and bright future!

Yelu Dashi's territory and the Heishan Military Division's territory are only separated by a desert next door... And Xia, Yin and You have iron ore and iron yards. Although the output is limited, it can always be evenly produced, right?

Besides, didn’t Xiao Heda surrender to the Song Dynasty? There are some iron in the Song Dynasty! If Xiao Heda can obtain the iron tools of the Song Dynasty... Then Yelu Dashi would be amazing!

In less than three years, his army will soon turn all the seven prefectures and eighteen tribes in the northern Demon Grasslands and the eighteen tribes in the western part of the Great Liao, and the tribes directly under the Dashi Headquarters will also reach 40,000 or even 50,000 households!

With this basic structure, Yelu Dashi could further unify the grassland tribes, then ascend the throne and become emperor, and then go south to decide the victory and defeat with the Jin thieves... The population of the grassland tribes is larger than that of the Jurchens and the Bohai people!

Moreover, the grassland divisions have strong mobility and can gather a large number of troops to attack areas with weak Jurchen power... This is really hopeful!

Just as he was about to be happy, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the front. Yelu Dashi looked up and saw the flag floating on the head of Kedun City from afar.

It turned out that before he knew it, his team had arrived near Kedun City... It seemed that he would soon see Xiao Heda's messenger!

"The king, the envoy of Taishi Xiao (the Khitans called the Jiedushi the Taishi) is here!"

Yelu Dashi heard the voice of Xiao Olila, who was left behind in the northwest road of Kedun City. Xiao Olila was Yelu Dashi's most confidant general. He followed Dashi as early as when he was fighting in Nanjing Road, Liao Kingdom, and now he is the only general.

When Dashi led his troops to migrate to nomadic times, Xiao Olila led a small number of troops to stay in the large base of Keduncheng!

Unexpectedly, he personally brought Xiao Heda's envoy out of the city today... There must be some amazing news.

When Yelu Dashi thought of this, he quickly rode his horse to meet him. He soon saw Xiao Olila, and found a very familiar face beside him - that was the face that Yelu Yu saw!

"Yelu Yu saw it?" Yelu Dashi couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this fellow disciple, "Aren't you dead? Why are you here again in Kedun City?"

yes!

Yelu Yuji is already dead! Yelu Dashi listened to the Khitan patriots who came over to the Jin thieves more than once. Yuji was killed by Zhao Kai, the prince of Yun of the Song Dynasty when he followed Wanyan Zonghan invaded Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty! The Jin Dynasty was buried with him in a glorious way... and many eminent monks were invited to pass him. His soul should have been passed to the Western Paradise. How could he come back now?

Yelu Yuji also saw Yelu Dashi - both of them were famous people, Yuji was Yelu Yanxi's brother-in-law and a recognized talent for the royal family.

Not to mention Yelu Dashi, a famous nerd! He was the only one in the Khitan clan. It was even more difficult for him to be Lin Ya (equivalent to Hanlin) after he passed the Jinshi. This shows that Dashi's Jinshi is real, not cheating. Such a character was the target of many people making fun of him in Shangjing back then. It was a shameful style for Yelu, who did not practice martial arts and led troops, but wanted to be a scholar and be a civic minister!

But who would have thought that those Yelu who practiced martial arts and led troops later could not support the crisis of the Liao Dynasty. Many people, like Yu Ji, treason, had to treason and surrendered to the enemy. As long as Yelu Dashi, a nerd, only had lofty ambitions, was not afraid of hardships, and knew that he could not do it, he would live as the hope of the Liao Dynasty.

When Yelu Yu saw Dashi, he did not dare to intercede with flat courtesy. Instead, he turned over and dismounted and bowed respectfully, and then said: "Yu Ji, a minister of the three surnames, is now an envoy of the Song Dynasty. It turns out that he met His Highness the King of Liao!" As he said that, he took out another scroll and raised it high, "I will present the letter of the country, and I will ask the king to take a look."

The posture of the envoy of the Song Dynasty was a little low... but there was no way. When Yelu, a boneless Yelu, saw Yelu, there was no face to be the angel of the country?

"Have you surrendered to the Song Dynasty?" Yelu Dashi reached out to take the letter of the country and opened it. What caught his eye was the annoying thin gold body. "This is Zhao Ji... no, is it Zhao Kai's handwriting?"

Speaking of Zhao Kai's name, Yelu Dashi's face looked a little better. This "top scholar" in the Song Dynasty was a person he had always wanted to make friends with when he was a poet. Unexpectedly, this person was really a character!

"That's right," Yu Ji said, "He is now an official in the Song Dynasty... As the master saw, this person is also a hero in the Central Plains, no less than a king. If the king can practice with him, he will definitely be able to destroy the Jurchens in the future, and then one in the south and one in the north, the two dynasties will stand together!"

"One south and one north?" Yelu Dashi asked coldly, "Who will the land of Yanyun belong to?"

Yelu Yuji smiled bitterly and said, "King, the general trend of the world has changed, which has become unfavorable to the Northern Dynasties and even more unfavorable to the grasslands... So it is difficult for us to get back the land of Yanyun!"
