Pinbu is a small tribe among the eight tribes that make up the Khitan Yuonian Tribal Alliance, and its strength ranks at the bottom of the eight tribes. Speaking of which, Pinbu has a history of less than two hundred years, and the leader of Pinbu - Jurisdiction
The surname Laoshi Lie actually comes from the Die La tribe, which is the most powerful among the eight tribes today. No matter what the reason is, the Laoshi Lie clan wants to break away from the control of the Yelu clan of the Die La tribe and develop independently, or is it far away?
When the Naji tribe alliance was established, it was just to piece together the number of eight tribes (note 1). The pinbu was finally formed and has been multiplying to this day.
While Xiaolangjun Wuli's father was still alive, the Pinbu gradually established a firm foothold in the former Dudu Mansion of Yingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and together with the Wukui tribe, another tribe among the eight Khitan tribes, they divided up the fertile land of Yingzhou.
In Qianli Ranch, Pinbu is in the west, and its expanding sphere of influence is concentrated in the former Datang Yingzhou Dudufu, while Wukui tribe is in the east, eroding towards the original Xincheng Dudufu in Datang.
After years of plundering and annexing, the Ping tribe has unknowingly developed from a small tribe with a population of less than a thousand to the current master of Yingzhou, although it is still not as good as several large tribes among the eight Khitan tribes.
The branches are flourishing, but Dingkou has grown to nearly 10,000, and the number of string control people has reached almost 2,000! The development trend of Pinbu is very good, if it continues at this point, the future will be bright. Unfortunately, everything was destroyed by Wuli's father
On the night when he died of a sudden illness, due to disagreements over who should inherit the position of Pinbu Qijin, Xiaolang Junwuli, with the support of his mother who was born in the Shulu family, led some of his tribesmen to leave Yingzhou and come to Bailangshui.
Meanwhile, his elder brother Tuli, who had the support of most tribal elders, stayed in Yingzhou.
Although the number of elders who support his brother Tuli far exceeds that of Wuli, and there are far more tribe Dingkou who stay in Yingzhou than those who follow him south, as long as the tribal elders meeting is not convened, Tuli will not be able to take the position of Qi Jin.
The position was not recognized by the Khitan officials. Wu Li believed that with his mother's noble surname and the support of the Shulu family, Qi Jin's position would be his own sooner or later.
But the reality is very cruel. Because he did not fulfill the request of his cousin Abao, his cousin Abo, who had promised to support him, actually changed his attitude and wanted to support his brother whose blood was not pure! After Kedan’s analysis, Wuli
I believe that this change in attitude is definitely not the opinion of Abo's cousin alone. It is most likely the unanimous decision of the prominent names of the Shulu family and the Yelu family. Those names include Shuluping, Shulu Abo,
Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Huolu, Yelu Hua Ge... Thinking of the meanings of these names, Wuli's heart became more and more panicked. Since these adults doubt their abilities, they can only prove themselves with a victory.
, to regain their support, this is not only what Kedan told him, but also the only way he could think of after racking his brains.
Until this time, Wu Li seemed to suddenly think of the consequences of his failure to compete for Qi Jin. According to his brother Tuli's temperament, once he ascends the throne of Qi Jin, there is only one fate waiting for Wu Li! Thinking of his brother Tuli's
His sinister gaze made him break into a cold sweat.
So this time Wuli summoned all the men in the tribe who could hold a sword and ride a horse. In addition to the more than 20 warriors trained by Kedan himself, he gathered more than 400 regular soldiers who could fight.
people, and more than 500 auxiliary soldiers accompanying them. Although they are all auxiliary soldiers, they can still lift the sword and kill people! In front of such a large group of people, how can the Lulong Army without the support of Guancheng become the Khitan?
The Warriors' opponents, not to mention the more than 200 Lulong Army have been blocked in the mountains and cannot escape even if they want to! Wu Li believes that this victory is almost within easy reach, not to mention that Uncle Dan also said that as long as these Lulong Army are eliminated in
Here, the troops in Yuguan will be weakened, and there is even hope of attacking Yuguan again.
Arriving at Bailang Mountain Pass, Wu Li was about to rush in with his men, but Ke Dan grabbed his arm that was about to wave: "Little Langjun, wait a moment, let the warriors rest for a while."
The brigade stopped at the mountain pass. The Khitan warriors dismounted one after another, opened their leather bags and poured a few mouthfuls of milk wine. They loosened the reins of the war horses, released their muzzles, and let the war horses eat some grass on the spot to conserve their strength. In Wuli,
The war horses ridden by Ke Dan and the tribal warriors trained by Ke Dan himself are better, especially the war horses ridden by Wuli and Ke Dan. They are pure horses from the west of the grassland. They are not only tall and majestic, but also extremely fast. But
When feeding, you can't be so casual. The auxiliary soldiers who follow you open the bags specially brought, take out the chopped hay mixed with bean curds and feed it to the war horses.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ke Dan called the fat man in front of him, stared at the plump round face and said: "Wait a while and you come to the front and lead the way. This time the matter is completed, I will let you restore your surname. If
If there's even the slightest mistake, don't blame me for throwing you into the frying pan!"
The fat man flopped down at Ke Dan's feet, hugged Ke Dan's ankles, and said with a smile on his face: "Noble man, don't worry, I understand, I will never miss your business... The noble man said that the little surname should be restored, but in fact
I don’t have this thought, so I asked the noble man to give me a name, and I will follow you by your side from now on!”
But Dan couldn't help but laugh, kicked the fat man to the ground, and laughed: "You guy, you are not happy if I want to restore you to a serious family background, and you have to be a slave. Isn't it very comfortable to be a slave?"
The fat man crawled over and hugged Kedan's ankle again, and said with a flattering smile: "My biggest wish is to become a Khitan. I would rather be a slave of the Khitan than a Han Chinese who is doing nothing. I hope you can fulfill it!"
But Dan shook his head with a sneer on his face and asked again: "Didn't you say it's difficult for the cavalry to enter the mountain? I think the mountain road is quite spacious..."
The fat man said hurriedly: "This is the first section that is so spacious. Some places inside are quite dangerous. Even if you really want to pass a horse, you can pass it, but there may be some damage to the horse. Your horse is so splendid.
The young one also has plans for the noble man..."
Ke Dan nodded and said no more. He called Ke Hun in front of him and warned him carefully: "I will leave all the auxiliary troops to you and guard the mountain pass for me. If one of the Lu Long soldiers escapes, I will take your
It’s a question!”
Under Ke Dan's instructions, the Khitan soldiers of the brigade arranged their clothes, took their swords and bows, and followed Ke Dan and Wu Li into Bailang Mountain. The fat man led the way carefully more than ten steps ahead. Ke Dan
After careful consideration, he ordered most of the war horses to be left at the mountain pass. Only he, Wu Li and the twenty or so warriors who had been trained by themselves were still riding horses, but the horses were changed and replaced with ordinary prairie war horses. Then
The two dozen warriors are the most important trump card in his hand. He wants to ensure that these warriors can use all their physical strength in the battle, even if the horses are damaged on the mountain road, he will not regret it.
As soon as the team of more than 400 people entered the mountain road, they were suddenly startled by a flock of birds.
Seeing the frightened bird flying, Zhong Silang quickly cheered up and stared straight at the corner of the valley ahead. After the Khitan people entered the mountain, it wouldn't take long before they would appear at the corner, and then it would be his turn.
The distance from the corner of the valley to the grove where he was hiding was less than a hundred steps, and he had to cross a shallow stream in the middle. Zhong Silang's plan was that when the Khitan people came to the stream, he and his men would
The brother showed up and stood on this side of the stream, confronting the Khitan people on the other side of the stream.
According to Zhong Shiro's estimation, although there are only ten of them in total, with a dense bush behind them, the Khitan people on the opposite side will definitely not dare to make any rash moves. If they can stay in a stalemate here for a while, they will be able to give them a head.
Leave some more time. Zhong Silang's idea was based on the arrangement made by Dutou during the battle at Yuguan. At that time, everyone walked in orderly steps from the gate of Guancheng to the front of the Khitan people, and then showed off their weapons together.
Blade, the Khitan people were surprised and quickly evacuated, buying time for Yuguan to successfully force the door out. Zhong Silang didn't know if he could learn to do it like this, but in a hurry, he could only
I thought of such a way.
Seeing the sound of footsteps and horse hooves coming from the corner of the valley, a fat man who looked like a Han man walked out first, and then seven or eight Khitan soldiers emerged from the corner. These Khitan soldiers held sabers and cautiously
Chong looked around for a moment, then waved behind him, and a large group of Khitan soldiers appeared in front of Zhong Silang.
Zhong Silang held his breath and watched as a large group of Khitan soldiers, surrounded by more than 20 cavalry, walked towards the stream where he was hiding. He forced himself to calm down and quickly started counting. Maybe it was because of the terrain, or maybe it was the usual behavior of the Khitan people.
Due to the habit of marching, the queue of these Khitans seemed very messy. Except for seven or eight outposts placed in front, the entire team could only be vaguely divided into two parts. The first part was two groups surrounded by dozens of infantry.
There were more than a dozen cavalry, and the second part was pure infantry. It was so dark that it was hard to tell how many there were.
He was a little confused, so he turned around and asked in a low voice: "How many people are there? Who has counted them?"
There were two people beside him who answered his question. One said that there seemed to be about four hundred people, and the other said that there were about five or six hundred people. Zhongshiro couldn't figure it out himself, so he chose the middle number between the two numbers.
Count - five hundred.
The group led by Zhong Silang was the most elite group in Jiadu, Zuoying of the Pingzhou Army. The soldiers of this group ranked first in the emergency march competition most of the time on the way from Pingzhou to Yuguan.
When the Khitans met, they were placed in the first row because of their neat formation. In the ensuing defensive battle at Yuguan, they were even honored with collective military exploits. Everyone fought face to face with the Khitans who climbed to the top of the city. Most of them fought face to face.
Everyone's hands are stained with Khitan blood.
Liu Jinhou, who performed most dazzlingly in the Yuguan Guard Battle, was from this group. He was promoted to the rank of deputy lieutenant because of his third-level beheading, and was directly promoted to group leader, surpassing the level of corps commander. In addition to Liu Jinhou, who had been promoted and transferred, there were also other members of this group.
Five people were promoted to the position of corps commander for beheading one or two levels, accounting for 30% of the meritorious service recipients in the entire Yuguan Guard Battle! However, because Li Chengzhong led the team in a hurry, he did not have time to make the next adjustment, so he still stayed
Went to Zhong Shilang's place.
In Li Cheng's center, the combat effectiveness of this group should be ranked among the top three among his armies. If Zhou Maidao personally leads people to fight, his combat effectiveness can even be ranked first. This is what he sent.
The main reason for the delay in completing the mission was Zhong Shilang. However, even such an elite unit, due to its short time in the army and less war experience, still showed a bit of nervousness when facing alone the Khitan brigade that was gradually approaching in the distance.
The Khitan brigade approached the stream. Zhong Silang imitated Li Chengzhong and shook hands into fists, slowly raising them above his head. As soon as he got closer, he would signal to stand up and line up. The brothers behind him also suppressed their pounding.
He took a deep breath and stared at Zhong Shiro's right arm gradually crossing his head...
Note 1: Before the establishment of the Yaonan clan alliance, the Khitan had been united in the form of the Dahe clan alliance. At that time, eight tribes coexisted. There is no record in historical materials of the reason why the Pin tribe separated from the Diela tribe. The author
