The young beggar is a greedy guy, and it is precisely because of his greed that the Khitan Wukui tribe has been able to grow and develop in the past few years, becoming a tribe with tens of thousands of members and more than 2,000 warriors... First text
But although he is greedy, he is very measured in doing things and knows what should be done and what should not be done.
The bait thrown by Elder Rong Ge is indeed very exciting, but begging to buy it is not enough to ignore the orders of the Ministry of Lamination for this bait. What really makes him join in this matter is the arrival of An Duanquan.
.
An Duanquan was the leader of the Diela tribe, and the alliance of the eight Khitan tribes was greater than that of Yue Shilu's Wulangjun. Shilu had five sons, the eldest brother Hua, the second brother Lage, the third brother Diela, the fourth brother Yindishi, and the fifth brother.
An Duanquan. With the rapid expansion of the Khitan people, the Diela tribe became more and more powerful, and its influence on the grassland became more and more important. There were more than 50,000 Dingkou, and the number of warriors reached 6,000. The Khitan of Shilu
Da Yue can be said to be a man of his word, and his status in the hearts of the Khitan people has long surpassed that of the Alliance Khan Hende Jin. Now Hende Jin has become a mere decoration on the facade, and his orders cannot go out of the king's tent!
When a father can reach this height, of course a son will be jealous. Being able to inherit the position of Qijin in the Diela tribe means becoming the master who has the final say in all Khitan tribes. This is a story that no matter who he is, he must be deeply attached to it.
The temptation of addiction. After Shilu had developed such great achievements for the Khitan people, he had reached the end of his age in the past two years, so he handed over many matters in the tribe to his nephews and nephews to take care of them. On the one hand, he provided training
Young people, on the other hand, also want to choose their successors.
It has to be said that Shilu was a hero with a broad mind. He did not focus solely on his own son in selecting his successor. Instead, he focused on the entire Die La tribe. During these two years of observation, he found that he was almost
None of his sons were talented and strategic, but several nephews performed very well, such as Abaoji, Huolu, Aping, and Abo. Among them, he was particularly optimistic about Abaoji. In this nephew, Shilu saw
As a young man, he handed over the most elite Ta Ma of the Die La tribe to Abaoji, and appointed him as "Ta Ma Xi Sha Li", which means the leader of the elite bodyguards. At the same time, he handed over more affairs to Abaoji.
Being managed by these nephews only alienated and alienated his five biological sons.
Naturally, it was impossible for Shilu's sons to accept such a result. When Abaoji and others were leading the army in battle or busy dealing with foreign affairs, they secretly contacted each other, made secret savings, and finally created their own power. Now Shilu has already
Too old to see things seriously, Brother Hua and Abaoji are gradually showing signs of competition. Today's Itali Department is in a state of crisis. The situation of fighting between the two sides is becoming more and more obvious. No one listens to the other.
's command.
This is the most fundamental reason why Shulu Abo went to Jizhou to discuss peace negotiations with Zhao Jing: the Die La Ministry was no longer able to take into account external affairs, and everything had to wait until the top officials in power completed a new change. And the period of change was greater than Yue
The moment when Shiru passed away.
The relationship between Qihuomai and An Duanquan is very close. The two have a friendship of "An Da", so Qi Huomai firmly opposes Abaoji in this matter. He supports his An Da An Duanquan. Of course, he also
It is to support Brother Hua. An Duan came to Huaiyuan Military City on Brother Hua's order. In addition to continuing to win over the Wukui tribe, he also told Qihuomai about the latest situation of the Diela tribe and asked Qihuomai to
Make all preparations and lead your troops to Raoleshui at any time.
At this time, elder Rong Ge's messenger arrived at Huaiyuan Military City. After knowing Rong Ge's intention, he was quite tempted, but he soon suppressed his thoughts. At this time, it was the power of the Die La tribe.
At the critical moment of the change, he had no time to worry about the affairs of Pingbu, which had surrendered to the Han people.
But when Qihuomai mentioned this matter in front of An Duanquan in a joking tone, An Duanquan's expression changed and he encouraged him to send troops.
"Is this the right time? Your brothers are fighting with Abaoji and the others... well, and your Die La tribe has already reached a peace agreement with the Lulong Army. Wouldn't this break the promise of the Die La tribe?" Qihuomai was a little confused.
An Duanquan sneered: "Peace negotiation? This was brought about by Abaoji and the others. The person who went to negotiate peace was also Ah Bo, and it has nothing to do with our brothers. Do you know why they wanted to negotiate peace? The story of Abaoji's horse guards, A Ping and Ah Bo
The soldiers of the Lu family and the Hema infantry of Huolu are all fighting outside. If there is no ceasefire, how can they come out to compete with our brothers for the position of the tribe?"
Judging from the situation of the Die La tribe, Abaoji and others controlled the elite and main force of the tribe's army. At the same time, they established their authority in the army in the battles with the Mohe people, Shiwei people, Xi people and the Han people, and gained authority including Die La tribe.
They received widespread support from soldiers from the Labu, Yishibu, Tulububu, and Tuju tribes; Hua Ge and the other five brothers were recognized by the dignitaries of the Yelu family and the Shulu family, and they also served as members of the rest of the Diela tribe.
The three clans of Gu Zhiwai have a strong voice, but they have little military power in the Diela tribe. The troops that support them mainly come from three small tribes, namely the Chute Tribe, the Wukui Tribe and the Nila Tribe.
In terms of military strength, Abaoji and others have a greater advantage, but in the eyes of the powerful tribesmen, the Brother Hua brothers, who are the direct descendants of Shilu, are more likely to be recognized.
When Jing An Duanquan said this, the beggar suddenly realized: "Answer, you mean...I will lead the troops to fight and make their hopes come to nothing?"
An Duanquan chuckled: "I just don't know if your Wu Kui Department has the strength to take down Li Chengzhong. Just don't make the same mistake as the Pin Department."
Qi Huomai knew that An Duan was trying to provoke the generals, but he was also very interested in the bait thrown by Elder Brother Rong. Wouldn't it be better if he could kill two birds with one stone and gain Yan County while also helping Brother Hua?
, then said: "Don't provoke me. If it were in normal times, it would be hard to tell the outcome, but it is different now. Brother Rong sent me a very detailed plan, which is the training content and arrangements of Li Chengzhong's army. If I send troops
If so, it’s a sure shot!”
So Qihuomai changed his mind and immediately agreed to Elder Rong's request for help. He spent three days mobilizing tribal warriors and gathering 1,500 soldiers. When he wanted to, he used such a large number of troops to raid Li Chengzhong's
One thousand new troops are already very comprehensive. Considering that he has to deal with Zhang Xingzhong's troops in the Xiaoling River Basin next, he also mobilized an additional 500 auxiliary troops. At the critical moment, these 500 people can also make up for the losses of combat troops.
.In the end, he left only 500 people to guard Huaiyuan Military City, and ordered a few tribal elders who stayed behind not to provoke the Mohe people of Bohai Kingdom during this period to avoid disputes.
In the Khitan army, both cavalry and infantry were on horseback, so they marched very quickly. However, when he crossed Yiwulu Mountain and arrived fifty miles north of Yan County, the people sent to Yan County to contact Rong Ge were sent to Yan County.
He came back to report that elder Rong Ge had led his army to the west, so he did not see Rong Ge while begging for food.
The greedy mentality of begging for money broke out again. He thought that since he had an agreement with Brother Rong that Yan County would be his own after the deal was completed, why not take this opportunity to capture the empty Yan County first? After all, what he got was truly his own.
, everything in the future is just empty talk. So after hesitating for a moment, he decided to divide his troops with 500 troops and go to occupy Yan County. He thought that after dividing the troops, the 1,000 combat troops and 500 auxiliary troops in his hands were still enough to defeat the enemy.
After losing Li Chengzhong's 1,000 new troops, the 500 troops stationed in Yan County can still threaten Zhang Xingzhong's troops who stayed in the Xiaoling River Basin from the side in the subsequent battle.
So Qi Huo bought a position fifty miles north of Yan County and divided his troops into two parts. One part continued to attack the new army trained by Li Chengzhong at the northern foot of Helong Mountain to the west, and the other part went south to occupy Yan County.
Although the cavalry marches very fast, when attacking at long distances, when the attack exceeds a certain limit, it will also become useless. Therefore, the same as the infantry, even on the grassland, the cavalry still cannot do without logistical support.
In order to reach the northern foot of Helong Mountain as soon as possible, when the army marched to Hemingwazi, Qihuomai decided to leave the auxiliary soldiers behind, and the auxiliary soldiers drove the cattle, sheep and carts to continue moving forward at the same speed. On the carts were
He was equipped with arrows, tents and hay, and he led a thousand soldiers, each carrying two days' worth of dried meat, to speed up the attack to the west.
When the army arrived less than forty miles away from the northern foot of Helong Mountain, it was getting late. Qi Huomai once again took out the Yingzhou Army's "Northern Command Training Plan" from his arms, calculated the time, and then ordered the entire army to stop.
Go ahead and station yourself here tonight. According to the arrangements in this training plan, the Yingzhou Army will conduct dispersion drills of various armies tomorrow. When the Wukui Army makes a surprise attack tomorrow, the Yingzhou Army will be in a state of disunity.
Since the tents and the wooden stakes and strips supporting the tents, as well as horse-proof stakes, wooden caltrops, deer antlers and other items were all on the cart escorted by the auxiliary troops, the army that had been begged for work could only rest briefly on the spot.
Groups of people lit bonfires, roasted the bread and dried meat they had brought with them until soft, and ate them with the water in their leather bags. After eating a simple dinner, they took off the small felt blanket for single use from the back of the horse and spread it.
Make a bed on the grass.
After dispatching vigilant sentries in four directions, Qi Huomai returned to his horse and lay on the felt blanket to carefully consider the specific plan for tomorrow's attack.
The attack of the Wu Kui army and the events at the northern foot of Longshan were carried out in a very secretive manner. No one in the Yingzhou army knew about the unexpected situation they were about to face. At this moment, Zhang Xingzhong, the commander of the inspection department of the Northern Command, was convening all the troops in the big tent.
Officers meeting to hear the results and progress of today's drills in each capital.
After all the officers reported one by one, Zhang Xingzhong commented on the situation of each department, verbally praised the military teams that performed well in training, and criticized the military teams that did not meet the training requirements. After summarizing the training situation of the day,
Zhang Xingzhong took out the training plan and began to arrange the independent drills of each department for the next day. Because the departments were relatively scattered during the independent drills, Zhang Xingzhong was unable to go to the assessment one by one, so he assigned the officers in the command headquarters to each of them to be responsible for the assessment.
Two troops.
The military meeting was over and the sky was completely dark. Zhang Xingzhong rubbed his neck, which was already very tired and sore. Just as he was about to ask someone to pick up dinner, there was an announcement outside the tent that a messenger was coming from the Liucheng headquarters.
The messenger was Yang Keshi, the superintendent of the Operation Department of Yuhousi. Yang Keshi paid a military salute to Zhang Xingzhong. Zhang Xingzhong asked: "Lao Yang is here? How is the situation?"
Yang Keshi, who had been running for dozens of miles, looked exhausted. He took the water bowl handed over by Zhang Xing and took a sip into his mouth. He said: "Zhang Duyu, Brother Rong has led his army to Liucheng. General Li ordered, from
From now on, start implementing Plan C!" To be continued. (..), your support is my biggest motivation.)
