Volume 1 Yanzhao Duo Elegy Chapter 56 Rao Le Mountain Top (10)
ps: Thanks for the wretched smile, Brother Huang for the reward, and Brother Ligyootan for the monthly ticket.
Several people discussed the attack on Kumoxi and the Western Khitan again. Abaoji said to Aping: "Brother Aping, this time I found out the details of the battle between Li Chengzhong and the Wukai tribe at Lumingwa."
Abing suddenly became energetic and looked at Abaoji intently.
"Perhaps Brother Aping was disappointed. Nothing can be seen from this battle. The beggars of the Wukui tribe set off from Huaiyuan Military City and attacked the Yingzhou Army training at the northern foot of Helong Mountain. They stayed overnight in Luming
Wa. Coincidentally, the Yingzhou Army was marching at night that night and was said to be training troops. They happened to pass by Luming Wa, so they launched a night attack on Qihuomai. The entire Wukui army was in chaos and was defeated in an instant. However, Qihuomai was defeated.
Not all was gained, many generals of the Yingzhou Army also suffered heavy losses, either dead or injured. From my point of view, this was just a night encounter, just a coincidence, but the Yingzhou Army was more
Fortunately, they have more time to prepare.", all text typed by hand.
Aping frowned and listened, slightly disappointed.
Abaoji added: "After the defeat of the Wukai tribe, Li Chengzhong set up a Yuhou joint headquarters in Huaiyuan Military City, which is similar to our tribal alliance elders meeting, the Diela tribe's An Duanquan, Pu Dichen and the Wukai tribe's joint headquarters
The beggars and buyers were all assigned an elder seat. Well, they called it the Yuhou seat. In fact, they were all the same. Later, Li Cheng won the Eastern Expedition and brought the Bohai Kingdom into the elders' assembly and gave them three seats. Therefore, this
The Yuhou Joint Headquarters is actually equivalent to a tripartite alliance, with Yingzhou as the leader." See the latest chapter.
A Pinghu said: "I also heard that Li Cheng was victorious in the Eastern Campaign, but I don't know how." He was still concerned about the combat methods and combat effectiveness of the Yingzhou Army.
Abaoji said: "We fought twice in the Bohai Sea. Once at the foot of Xijing City, and once at the foot of Shangjing City. According to reliable news from Fuyu City, the main force in these two battles was not the Yingzhou Army. The Yingzhou Army this time
A total of 2,800 people were dispatched in the Eastern Expedition, including 1,800 Yingzhou soldiers from the headquarters and 1,000 Wukui soldiers. The Bohai Kingdom was also caught off guard under the city of Xijing. At that time, the Bohai Rebellion Army was attacking the city.
The soldiers from the Wei tribe launched a charge for the main force and defeated the enemy in one battle..."
Huo Lu curled his lips and said: "We still have to rely on our Khitan soldiers to fight. I have also heard about those rotten soldiers in Bohai. We can fight ten of them one by one. There will be no problem!"
Abaoji continued: "In the next battle in the capital, Li Chengzhong did not even use the soldiers of the Wukai tribe. He relied entirely on the diligent troops of all parties in the Bohai Sea to fight the battle."
Huo Lu continued to curl his lips: "This guy has never fought a tough battle. He always picks up bargains. I heard that when Pingbu Tuli was defeated, he was defeated by an arrow. The one who shot the arrow was our Khitan people, Jie Li from the Sudden Division.
, this solution had a reputation for bravery before. I didn’t expect that Li Chengzhong would be surrendered.”
Aping murmured: "The decisive battle between Bailangshan and Pinbu, the decisive battle between Lumingwa and Wukuibu, and the two battles under Xijing City and Shangjing City were nothing outstanding... They all depended on luck? But why?
Have they all won?"
Abo couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is really lucky!"
Huo Lu nodded in agreement: "Evil, really evil!"
There was silence in the tent for a moment. Abaoji said: "You all know that we and the Lulong Mountain North Camp reached a peace agreement last year, but now the Shanbei Camp has been dismantled. I heard that Liu Rengong has been trapped in the quagmire of the south and cannot escape.
Therefore, the defense of the northern border wall was handed over to Li Chengzhong. Of course, this was also the posthumous approval of Liu, who had no choice but to do so. Among the powers granted to Li Chengzhong by the imperial court was the responsibility of "supervising all military affairs outside the pass." Well, the key now is...
Brother Hua and the others have colluded with each other. If we touch Brother Hua, we will definitely give Li Chengzhong an excuse to interfere, so we must be prepared to fight Li Chengzhong."
Aping asked again: "How many soldiers does Li Chengzhong have?"
Abaoji said: "The soldiers of the Yingzhou Army are organized into five battalions, each with five capitals. Different from the Tang Army elsewhere, these five battalions are full. There are no empty pay, so the total number of soldiers is two thousand and five.
One hundred people, this is the main force of Li Chengzhong's direct lineage. In addition, there is a larger Huaiyue coalition army. Among them, there are 1,000 Wukai soldiers, 3,000 Bohai soldiers, and 1,000 Silla soldiers. The rest are a handful.
Auxiliary troops are similar to the captives in various cities in the Central Plains."
Huolu snorted and said, "You're trying to scare me, five thousand! There are all kinds of bad soldiers, even Silla soldiers are here. Only the Wukai tribe's one thousand people can barely fight."
Ah Bo thought for a while and suddenly said: "What good does Brother Hua do for Li Chengzhong? How about I go to Liucheng and talk to Li Chengzhong?"
Abaoji said: "I got a copy of the "Huaiyuan Treaty". After reading it carefully, I found that there is nothing unusual about it. It is nothing more than mutual trade, mutual government offices, three military advances and retreats... Well, there is also a recognition of the Tang Dynasty suzerainty.
It doesn’t matter if he is in the position of the Tang Dynasty. We have never failed to recognize him as Zhengshuo in the Tang Dynasty. It’s nothing more than paying tribute.”
Abo asked: "The military advances and retreats together? How do you say that?"
Abaoji explained: "Actually, it's nothing. When one party needs it, they can ask for troops from the Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters. I guess this is what Brother Hua and the others proposed."
Abo said: "In this case, it is no different from the peace terms I proposed in Jizhou last year. Why did Li Chengzhong not agree to it then, but now he agrees to it?"
A Ping suddenly said coldly from the side: "How can the alliance under the city be so easy? There is no fairness in peace negotiations that are fought out with troops. There must be hidden secrets in it."
Abaoji looked at Aping and praised: "What brother Aping said is true. I heard that outside the treaty, Brother Hua and the others made a large sum of money and paid Li Chengzhong a lot of property, cattle and sheep. In addition, the key point is this idea.
About the Yuhou Joint Headquarters. After Li Cheng returned from the Eastern Expedition, the Bohai people also joined in. All matters involving all parties must be brought to the joint headquarters for discussion."
Ah Bo suddenly realized: "The elder system of the grassland tribes outside the pass!"
Abaoji nodded and said: "Yes, and this kind of tribal elder system is unusual. It has the support of the army, and the results of the deliberations are effective. If anyone does not obey, the army will be sent to enforce it. I have considered it carefully.
Li Chengzhong's purpose is to maintain the status quo of all parties in the grassland, control all the grassland ethnic groups through the Huaiyue Yuhou Joint Headquarters, and make everyone listen to him. So we are different from Brother Hua. Brother Hua is willing to join, and they can only join.
, because their ambitions are very small. We brothers want to let the Khitan people fly high, and we can't sit together with Li Chengzhong. Last year, Brother Hua and the others joined this joint headquarters, and this year there are people from Bohai joining, maybe
When the Kumoxi people and the Shiwei people also join, and they are all in this joint headquarters, how can we Khitan people rise?"
Huolu said loudly: "He has a beautiful idea. The fists have the final say on the grassland. He wants to control all ethnic groups. First ask me, Huolu, if I agree!"
A Ping also nodded and said, "We'll talk about it later."
In fact, Ah Bo really hoped to solve the problem through negotiation, but at this moment he already understood that the positions of himself and others were completely opposite to Li Chengzhong's, and there was no negotiability at all, so he had no choice but to give up this plan.
But when you make an enemy, it's better to win over a friend. This truth is very clear to Abo, so he asked: "Can we go to the King of Jin in Hedong to seek his support?"
Abaoji said: "When you and Aping were fighting against the Shiwei people in the north, I had already sent people to Hedong, but the situation there was not good. The King of Jin was struggling to cope with the attack of King Dongping and had no spare time to take care of the grassland."
Abo sighed: "The Central Plains is also in chaos..."
Abaoji finally concluded: "It is precisely because of the chaos in the Central Plains that we have a chance. After Yue Yue passes away, it will be our best chance to revitalize the Khitan. Whether the Khitan people can become the masters of the grassland depends on this moment. I believe everyone
It is clear to everyone that our biggest enemy is not Brother Hua. They are not worthy, so we must be prepared. When the time comes to defeat Li Chengzhong in a battle, the grassland can be secured. Before that, pull out the knife from behind, and
Lu, you don’t have much time. You must eliminate this hidden danger within two months. No matter what method you use, you must either eliminate them, surrender them, or drive them far away. In short, you can’t do it with us.
During the decisive battle with Li Chengzhong, let Ku Moxi and A Dahe's tribe come from behind to kill him."
The next day, Huolu came to the Buddhist hall and begged for blessings from his guru Shanneng.
Although Shanneng is a copycat, he has studied Buddhism hard and understands the principles of Buddhism. After listening to Huolu's begging, he couldn't help but be speechless, okay, you want to send troops to fight and kill people, and you come here to ask for a gift.
Fuck, do you really think that Buddhism is the same as your shamanism? But he still pretended to mutter a Buddhist sutra, claiming to have invited magicians from all directions and powerful Vajra to help him.
Huolu asked Shanneng to predict good or bad luck again, but Shanneng had no such ability, so he had to pretend to be mysterious and shook his head without answering. No matter how much Huolu begged, he shook his head and said nothing. Huolu had no choice but to leave in depression, thinking all the time in his heart.
:Why did the master shake his head and say nothing? Why didn't he tell me good or bad luck? Why did he seem to be smiling but not smiling? Why did his eyes look so weird?
On the same day, after spending a happy and peaceful Bon Festival, Li Chengzhong returned to Liucheng and met two guests from Chuohan Mountain in Zhongnanhai.
"Where is Chuohan Mountain?" Li Chengzhong curiously poked at the large map hanging on the wall behind him with a small wooden stick: "Tell me about its approximate location?"
One of them took the wooden stick handed by Li Chengzhong, and with a low eyebrow, he first found Fuyu on the map, and then pointed the stick upward: "From Fuyu to the north, we can ride on horseback in seven or eight days and we will arrive." He was also very unsure.
He made random gestures in a blank space: "Probably here."
Well, Li Chengzhong actually understands that it is very vague to say so. There are many interpretations of "to the north" in this era. Northwest, true north, and northeast can all be called "to the north", so after all, he also
We can only roughly know that these two Shiwei people came from the north.
"I heard that you are from Shanbei and Karasuma tribe?"
"Yes, Governor. We came here this time because we want to join the Governor's tribal alliance."
"My tribal alliance?" Li Chengzhong was stunned for a moment.
"Well, it's the Yuhou Tribal Alliance established by the Governor. I heard that any tribal alliance that joins the Governor can occupy the position of an elder in each tribe." The two Shiwei people nodded firmly.
