For this small tribe living by Moon Lake, Liu Ruyi had serious murderous intentions at first. However, when she saw that they were not of Mongolian origin, Liu Ruyi suddenly changed her attention!
"Haha, brother Yeluhai, what I want you to do is very simple, it can be said to be a piece of cake!"
Liu Ruyi glanced at Yelu Hai with a smile, and pointed to the desert to the east, "From here, it's probably a few hundred miles away from the Horqin Grassland, oh, your Shangjing City in Daliao, right?"
Yeluhai nodded subconsciously.
"What I need you to do is..." Liu Ruyi paused and suddenly said coldly: "Bypass the eyes and ears of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, lead my army to the Shengjing City of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
"What?" Yeluhai couldn't help but open his mouth!
He never dreamed that Liu Ruyi would make such a request!
Yeluhai also had some understanding of the struggle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. He had even made a lot of money in Liaodong in the past few years by hoarding iron tools and medicinal materials!
Yelu Hai is a businessman, and he sees the current situation very clearly!
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have become powerful, but the Ming Dynasty is declining day by day, especially in the military field. In the past few decades, the Ming Dynasty has rarely won against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties!
For these small tribes living in the depths of the desert, they couldn't afford to offend the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nor could they offend the Ming Dynasty, so they simply couldn't offend both sides. They were caught in the middle, had both sides, and made a lot of war windfall!
Originally, Yeluhai believed that a small group of Ming army elites like Liu Ruyi were able to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, mostly to destroy the Qing army's grain, grass and baggage lines, or to create some chaos and attract the main force of the Qing army.
With his eyes, he could never have imagined that Liu Ruyi wanted to cut straight into Manqing's heart!
Yelu Hai's face was a little pale. In the early morning, the fog by the lake was very cold, but at this time, the sweat on Yelu Hai's forehead was like rain, dripping out!
He knew what it would mean if he agreed to Liu Ruyi's request!
Liu Ruyi still looked at Yelu Hai with a smile!
This Khitan leader was able to lead his tribe to survive in this inhospitable place and make every possible move. If he said he didn't have some extraordinary abilities, Liu Ruyi would never believe it!
"Haha! Brother Yeluhai, don't be nervous! This is actually not a big deal! Of course, if you help me, I will definitely give you some reciprocal reward! And, I will never do anything about the transaction between us.
I won’t reveal even a word to the outside world, and no one will know that we have any contact!” Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
Since Yelu Hai has made his home here, Liu Ruyi can think of his intentions with his toes!
However, according to the relationship between the Horqin Ministry and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his wish may not be realized in this life!
However, as long as she understands what he is thinking, Liu Ruyi has enough patience and can get a satisfactory answer from Yelu Hai!
"General, let me think about it, let me think about it..." Looking at the magical smile of the young man in front of him, Yelu Hai tried his best to calm down his mind!
He already somewhat understood Liu Ruyi's intentions, but the elite Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were, after all, the strongest military force in the land at the moment. In addition, they were extremely revengeful, and Yelu Hai really did not dare to stand on their opposite side!
However, thinking of the fertile grassland that his ancestors once owned, Yelu Hai's heart felt like it was on fire!
He understands that the Liao Dynasty has long been a thing of the past, and the Khitan people have long since fallen apart. It is no longer realistic to restore the glory of their ancestors with their own efforts! Only with the help of powerful external forces can they succeed
Such a glimmer of light!
"Brother Yeluhai, what are the virtues of those Jurchens? You must know better than me! If they are really allowed to defeat our Ming elite in Liaodong, I won't tell you, but you should also know the consequences.
!However, our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources. If we lose in Liaodong, we can still fight back! But if that happens and you want to return to the land where your ancestors lived, then..." Liu Ruyi smiled
Temptation!
Yelu Hai swallowed subconsciously, his pupils dilated as much as possible!
They have worked hard on this land for dozens of generations, and for what reason?
Right now, there is an opportunity in front of me to fulfill my wish, but why can't I make up my mind?
"Brother Yeluhai, what I ask for is very simple! Your tribe only needs to provide us with ten guides who are familiar with the terrain and weather to guide my army to complete the plan! If it comes true, I will keep these ten guides intact
I will return the gift to you! Moreover, I can provide you with a promise! Within five years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be destroyed! By then, if you want to return to that land, you should write to me, His Majesty the Ming Emperor!
Coupled with the achievements you have made today, His Majesty the Emperor must be very willing to help you fulfill your long-cherished wish!"
Liu Ruyi continued to look into Yelu Hai's eyes, "At that time, you~~~ will be the saint of your tribe! You have completed a great cause like your ancestor, Yelu Abaoji! If you can be smarter,
If you can handle the relationship with His Majesty the Ming Emperor and serve the Ming Dynasty sincerely, even if you can help you restore the Khitan kingdom, isn't that impossible? Haha!"
"Restore the country?"
"Restore the country?"
Liu Ruyi's voice was like a curse, Yelu Hai kept repeating these two words?
Suddenly, he grabbed Liu Ruyi's hand and said as if pleading: "General! Restore the country? Is this still possible?"
Liu Ruyi smiled and got rid of Yelu Hai's big hand, and said calmly: "As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. If you don't try, how will you know whether it will work? Brother Yelu Hai, this time, as long as you can help me achieve my goal, maybe,
Maybe I will give you more benefits?"
"Haha!" Liu Ruyi stood up and said proudly: "We, the Ming Dynasty, have the most fertile land in the world, and we have the most exquisite craftsmen! We have countless elite weapons and armors, and we have countless abundant granaries! As long as we have the most fertile land in the world, we have the most exquisite craftsmen!
You, treat me as your friend, I can guarantee with my personality that I will provide you with more tangible benefits!"
"…………"
~~~~~~
Yelu Hai didn't know how he left that young man, but his conversation with him completely ignited the most secret passion in his heart!
"How's it going, chief? Those Ming people didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"Boss, Ming people are weak and weak in force. We don't have to be really afraid of them! If they really dare to force themselves, then we will fight them!"
"Headman, Headman..."
Seeing Yelu Hai's return, many tribal elders gathered around and asked each other about the outcome of the negotiation between the two!
Yelu Hai waved his hands a little tiredly, "I'm very tired now and want to take a rest! You guys retreat for now! Those Ming people, they won't hurt us! Ah Da, go and let someone prepare a sumptuous lunch at noon.
, I want to entertain them!"
"Eh? Yes!" A leader named 'Ada' hurriedly left!
When several elders saw that Yelu Hai did not reveal any of his intentions, they did not dare to disturb him anymore. They all saluted and were about to leave!
"Wait a minute!" Yelu Hai suddenly shouted and stopped the elders in their tracks!
"Headman, what's the matter?" the great elder asked hurriedly.
Yelu Hai smiled and said, "It's okay, Great Elder. Your Pu Ling should be at home now, right? Go and call him to see me!"
Pu Ling is the eldest son of the great elder, the most valiant warrior of the Khitan tribe. At this time, he is leading his tribe to prepare to prevent Liu Ruyi from launching a surprise attack on the tribe!
The great elder was stunned and thought that Yelu Hai was looking for Pu Ling to protect the tribe. He didn't think much about it, nodded and left quickly!
~~~~~
At noon, Yeluhai held a grand banquet in the tribe where they lived for a long time to entertain Liu Ruyi and his soldiers!
Although this tribe is located deep in the desert, it still has a lot of supplies!
Pottery from Jingdezhen, exquisite jewelry from Arabia, and even sake from Japan!
But these are not important. What surprised Liu Ruyi the most was the terrain and construction of this tribe's settlement!
The main body of this tribe is built on a long and narrow peninsula in the middle of Moon Lake. The main body is made of solid sand and stone. Although most of the lakeside outside the peninsula are tents and simple wooden houses, which look dilapidated, but once you enter the main body
The building, however, was found to be magnificent inside!
Although there is no wall, due to the natural terrain, the entire peninsula is like a long pipe protruding from the Moon Lake. There are many strong Khitan men holding the handles in dangerous places!
Although they seemed unprofessional, Liu Ruyi could tell at a glance that these strong Khitan men must have seen blood!
Liu Ruyi even suspected that these buildings on the surface were just a cover-up. Maybe underground, these Khitan people should have a larger building complex!
However, if Yeluhai didn’t tell you these things, Liu Ruyi would naturally not ask any more questions!
The more powerful these Khitan people are, the greater the benefits will be to Liu Ruyi!
Although the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were strong and powerful, they were based on the suffering of other ethnic groups. At this time, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties occupied such a large area of land, and many places were not monolithic!
If Yeluhai can be behind the scenes and cause some trouble for Huang Taiji and make some mistakes, Liu Ruyi will naturally enjoy the results!
Even if you pay for some outdated and obsolete weapons and armor, what does it matter?
After all, the age of firearms is coming soon!
When Liu Ruyi becomes stronger, he will definitely not be afraid of raising tigers!
Compared with the Jurchens, the fighting strength of the Khitan people is still far behind!
~~~~~
A meal for both host and guest!
But that afternoon, Liu Ruyi led his army to leave the Khitan tribe by the lake and slowly headed north!
However, what no one noticed was that ten tall and sturdy men with ravaged faces suddenly appeared in the ranks of the Colored Stone Army!
