Wuli is the second son of Pingbu, who has jurisdiction over the lazy Shilie family. Langjun is the name for the children of the Khitan nobles. In other words, he is the head of the Pinbu and has jurisdiction over the second son of the lazy Shilie family. Since his father died of a sudden illness three months ago,
Later, the Pinbu formed two de facto divisions. His brother Tuli took thousands of herdsmen to occupy Yingzhou, while he left the pasture with his loyal men and went south to the Bailangshui Nomads.
According to the custom of the Khitan people, the new tribe Qi Jin should be jointly elected by the elders of the tribe. But those elders who were qualified to recommend the tribe Qi Jin actually chose that bastard Tu Li! Yes, Tu Li is an out-and-out
Bastard! His mother was just the lowest slave in the Pinbu. It was said that she had the dirty blood of Shiwei and Xi Ren, but because of her little beauty, she was spotted by his father and gave birth to him.
Got this guy Tuli.
Wu Li was drinking milk wine in the camp, and the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. The two things that were currently weighing on his mind were the selection of Pinbu Qijin, and the second was the reality of the Han people in Yuguan. As for the second thing, in fact,
The root cause is still in the first thing. If I hadn't successfully become the Qi Jin of the Shangpin Department, why would there be any need to be worried here? Are all those old guys blind? They can't see that they are the ones who should really take the responsibility.
The best candidate for the tribe's Qi Jin? My mother is the most noble nobleman among the Khitan people. She has a prominent surname - Shulvshi!
Before the Pinbu meeting was held three months ago, Wuli's mother anticipated the worst possible outcome during the election, so she quietly went south with Wuli and the tribe members loyal to the Shulu family and left Yingzhou.
The mother's move was just right, causing the upcoming tribal meeting to be aborted on the spot. As long as the tribal meeting is not held, profit will not be the real benefit of the department, and there is still hope in Wuli!
Yes, Wuli waited for hope. With the active contact and mediation between his mother and the Diela tribe's family, his cousin Abo personally agreed that as long as Wuli led the tribe south and completed a task, the Shulu family would unite.
The Yelu family supported Wu Li to be elected as the new generation of Pinbu Qijin, and became the head of the lazy Shilie family. This task is to find out the reality of Pingzhou, attack Yuguan if conditions permit, and test out the Lulong Army's countermeasures
and reaction.
Who is Abo? He is a big figure in the Khitan tribes nowadays. Who dares to disobey what he says? Last year, Wuli followed his father and mother to the Khan's tent by the Tuchizhen River to attend the ceremony of Master Shilu to pay homage to Yu Yue.
At the tribal alliance meeting, I had seen who was standing next to this cousin. Huo Lu, Hua Ge and Abaoji from the Yelu family, and Aping from the Shulu family. At that time, Shi Lian
Mr. Lu and Mr. Hadi both came over to discuss matters with Abo and the others. Although he was the second son-in-law of the Pinbu family, he was not qualified to stand in front of him. His mother had introduced him to this cousin at that time, and they exchanged words with each other.
After a few words of conversation, we never interacted with each other again. But it was this little affection that made my cousin give me a chance. Wuli really wanted to seize this opportunity and complete the tasks entrusted by his cousin.
The mother has done all she can to help, and the rest depends on Wuli's own efforts. Wuli thinks that he is no worse than his brother Tuli. Tuli has led the tribe to win a few small battles in the past two years and plundered many people.
Are they Sumo people? Wuli believed that he could do whatever his brother could do. After he and his mother led the tribe to the Bailang River, they began to plunder the nearby Han people, in addition to turning most of them into slaves.
In addition, they also secretly brought some strong Han men and beautiful Han women to Yingzhou and gave them to several elders who had a good impression of them. Two of them even secretly expressed that as long as Wuli got the Shulu family and the
With the clear support of the Yelu family, at the newly convened tribal meeting, they supported Wuli to sit on the throne of the tribe Qijin.
Wuli even obeyed the instructions given by his cousin Abo. In Wuli's impression, although Pinbu has gradually grown in recent years and has become half the owner of this fertile pasture in Yingzhou,
The Tang Dynasty in the pass is not easy to mess with. Wu Li remembers that a few years ago, an army of the Tang Dynasty marched out from Yuguan, under the banner of the Lulong Army, and circled the grassland. All the Khitan tribes immediately obeyed
The Pinbu tribe and the Wukui tribe next to it retreated a full hundred miles to the north. Even the Yelu family respectfully presented 500 good horses and 5,000 fat sheep, just in exchange for those
The Lulong Army promised not to continue marching north. The Lulong Army back then was really spectacular. Wu Li once followed the rangers to see their marching army from a distance. It seemed to be more numerous than the entire army, including all the old men, women and children put together.
There are many more, and it is said that this army is only part of the Lulong Army, and the Lulong Army is just a military town on the northeastern border of the Tang Dynasty!
Even though Wu Li heard from his cousin Abo that the Tang Dynasty was no longer the Tang Dynasty in the past, and the Lu Long Army this year was not the Lu Long Army of previous years, he still felt very embarrassed, but the temptation of becoming a tribal member made Wu Li put aside everything.
Concerned, he suppressed the fear in his heart, led half of his men to the foot of Bailang Mountain, and continued his tentative behavior of plundering Dingkou, a Han people. He carefully and gradually expanded the scope of the plunder, and then slowly extended his troops to the vicinity of Yuguan.
In the nearly two months of continuous testing, he did not wait for the expected strong counterattack. On the contrary, Yuguan seemed to have no reaction at all to all this, as if he did not see that he was leading people to rob Han Dingkou and rob Han people.
property, and invaded the Han people’s countryside...
Having gained the courage, Wuli simply ordered his men to drive the Han people to the foot of Yuguan. Then, Kedan, the warrior who led the ranger, inadvertently captured the city of Yuguan, which had previously looked like an iron chain.
!Everything seemed to be going so smoothly. It stands to reason that Wuli was about to complete the task assigned by his cousin Abo, and he was getting closer and closer to the throne of the tribe leader, but his heart became more and more irritable and uneasy.
Wuli sent Pegasus to report this matter to his cousin Abo, and then stayed anxiously at the foot of Bailang Mountain to wait for further news. One was to wait for Abo's next order, and the other was to wait for the Han people in Yuguan.
Reaction. In order to have a clearer understanding of the actions of the Han people inside the pass, he also asked Kedan to be stationed outside the pass and feed back the news at any time, and repeatedly told Kedan to be careful and not to be careless and reckless.
The order from his cousin Abo was quickly sent back. Abo highly praised his success in attacking Yuguan, and then simply ordered him to lead his troops to occupy Yuguan! So Wuli has been busy for the past few days.
He felt guilty and restless, and it would be okay to attack Guancheng occasionally. When the Han army from the Tang Dynasty came to question him, the worst he could do was apologize or throw out a few scapegoats. But if he really wanted to lead his troops to occupy Yuguan, with only a few of his men
Can he stop the thousands of soldiers? What's more, there are more than half of the thousands of soldiers, old, weak, women and children. Those who can really go up in the battle are just a thousand control strings. When the time comes, if something big happens, throw them out.
If the scapegoat is not him, who else could it be?
Moreover, what worries Wu Li is that there was news from Ke Dan that there was movement in Yu Pass soon. An unknown number of Lulong troops reoccupied Yu Pass and began to repair the city. So Wu Li gritted his teeth and ordered
But Dan tried again to see the strength of this Han army. He waited impatiently here, thinking about it, but couldn't figure it out.
Just when Wuli wanted to find a Han slave girl to relieve the evil fire in his heart, Kedan finally came back.
"How's it going? How many people came to Yuguan? Thousands? Or... tens of thousands?" Wuli asked impatiently, thinking about the words "thousands" and "tens of thousands", he felt guilty for a while
.
Kedan was the bodyguard of the Pishi who was brought over by Wuli's mother when she was married. Although he was over forty years old, his bravery was still outstanding among the ranks. Even the young men who had grown up in recent years and were called warriors were far from the best.
He is far from Kedan's opponent. He has always been loyal and reverent to Wuli's mother. In addition to the disparity in status, this loyalty and reverence also comes from the love that Kedan has hidden in his heart for decades.
Later, part of his affection was transferred to Wu Li. He treated Wu Li as if he were looking after his own child. And Wu Li also had respect for him as he did for his close elders.
"Xiao Langjun, there are not that many people, probably only a few hundred people. But I can't tell you the specifics." Ke Dan thought for a while and replied: "I led people to pretend to attack the city. They went out of the city to form an array.
.I counted more than ninety people in formation, and there were fifty or sixty others standing on the wall."
"Just a few people?" Wu Li flashed his eyes and said loudly: "If there are only a few people, we are not afraid. If we really have to fight one by one, we Khitan people are much more powerful than them! But Uncle Dan, let's fight again.
Yuguan! Is it really like what my cousin said, that the Tang Dynasty is no longer viable? Haha!"
"They came with another reinforcement three days ago..."
"...reinforcements are coming? Oh, really, what can we do? How many reinforcements are coming? Reinforcements are coming, which means there may be more...will they come? Well, why don't I tell my cousin,
Shall we withdraw? But Uncle Dan, what do you say?" Hearing that reinforcements were coming, Wuli felt a little panicked again.
Ke Dan frowned, looked at Wu Li helplessly, and said: "I don't know yet. I have been stared at by people these past few days, but I can't tell. But judging from the movement inside, there shouldn't be too many people. I
It is estimated that the total amount will not exceed 500."
Wu Li hurriedly said: "Five hundred? Not bad, not bad... Then Uncle Dan, what do you think we should do?"
Ke Dan thought for a while and said: "Xiao Langjun, let's wait a few more days. If there are new reinforcements from the Han army, we will withdraw and then tell Mr. Abo everything about the situation here. I think he can understand
If there is no movement, we will fight hard! Once we capture Yuguan, Master Abo's mission will be completed."
Wuli scratched his head and paced back and forth in the tent, murmuring: "Want to fight? No fight? Fight? No fight? Fight or not to fight... If not, will my cousin support me?"
?Fight, what if my cousin lets me continue to fight, or even asks me to fight Pingzhou?"
Kedan said categorically: "Xiao Langjun, if we can really capture Pingzhou, you will definitely get the support of the elders without the need for Master Abo to say anything. Even...even if the elders don't support it, when we take Pingzhou,
State, what does the weight of a single tribe mean? Can’t we establish a new tribe? A tribe that doesn’t have any elders dictating from the side, and only listens to Xiao Langjun!
"
After hearing this, Wuli suddenly opened his mouth wide and stared at Kedan in shock, his heart pounding.
