Chapter 452: The Rise of the Akaya People
Yunyang frowned thoughtfully after listening to Yinlu's words. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yin Lu looked at Niangniang's expression, and asked with some puzzlement: "Niangniang, the weather is cold, you are in the palace, wearing the best fur, using the best silk cotton, and burning smokeless charcoal, what is there to worry about?" ”
Yun Yang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes swept over his green face: "This palace is naturally not the life in the Qiao Palace, but the palace is worried about the north." ”
"North?" Drinking Green raised his head in confusion: "Are you worried that the people in the north will be frozen because of the cold weather?" ”
"It's more than that." Yun Yang said with a serious expression: "This palace is worried that the people in the north, and even the entire territory of Daqi, may be killed because of the cold weather!" ”
"Mother, you're a bit alarmist!" Drink Green said disapprerovingly: "Even if the weather is cold, it won't be cold for a few days, and in another month, won't the glacier thaw and spring flowers bloom?" Besides, the territory of Daqi is vast, and the people in the south of Daqi have never even seen snow, how can they be frozen to death, let alone killed. ”
Yunyang sighed lightly: "This palace is also thinking, if he tells the emperor such worries, will he also think that this palace is worried?" ”
"To the north of Daqi are the Khitans, who usually wander in the steppes south of the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains, where the water and grass are abundant. Khitans, have you heard of it? He often harassed the northern frontier of my Great Qi, plundered the cities on the border, and robbed the grain, grass, cattle and sheep, as well as the labor of the prime of life. ”
"Of course I've heard of it. These people are the great calamity of my Great Qi, the emperor sends heavy troops to guard Yunzhou every year, Langzhou and Linzhou Rongzhou are not just to resist their elusive plunder? "Drink the greenway.
"You're right, it's just that in the eyes of this palace, although the Khitans are fierce and brave, they don't have the ability to bring Daqi to the brink of life and death. To the north of the Khitans, the Chigu people, who hunted in the northwestern grasslands of the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains, were the emperor's most dangerous opponents. Yun Yang said word by word.
"Why did the mother say this? The Chigu people are said to look different from the Khitans, they are taller and stronger, but they are far away from the Great Qi, and if they want to go south, they must first ask the Khitans if they are willing? Drink green said.
"The Khitans and the Chigu people have been fighting for fertile grazing territory for a long time, and the two sides have won and lost each other. However, last year, after the death of Yelu Ada, the leader of the Khitans, the Khitan continued to fight for the right to inherit, and its strength was greatly weakened, and the Chigu people took the opportunity to seize a lot of pastures that belonged to the Khitans. Yunyang looked at the moonlight outside the window and said softly, suddenly she realized something, turned around a little embarrassed and said, "This palace said this, are you bored?" If you don't want to listen, this palace stops. ”
Drinking green immediately replied: "How come? Although the slave maid is a female streamer, she has also spent so much time in the palace, and she still has some knowledge. These things are related to the society of the Great Qi River, and the slaves and maids are also concerned! The mother talks more, and the slave loves to listen. ”
Yunyang lowered his head and smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, this palace is also thinking about itself, and there is not necessarily any reason. Besides, this kind of thing is not easy to say in the palace, and if it spreads, I am afraid that it will be said that it is a vain discussion of government affairs. ”
"The mother is too worried, how can there be any arguing. This is just gossip in our master and servant's boudoir, and it doesn't hurt for others to listen to it. Yu Lu said very relaxedly, and then raised his hand to tuck the lilac-colored grain harvest brocade silk quilt to Yun Yang's side.
Yunyang smiled: "Yes, it's just a small talk." ”
"yes, let's talk about it, Niangniang, what's going on with the people of Akitani? The slave wants to hear it! ”
"Compared to the chaos within the Khitans, the Chigu people seem to have just crawled out of the mire." Yun Yang said unhurriedly: "The name of the last generation of Khan of the Akatani people was Longxu, and he was also decent and not biased during his reign. ”
"After his death a few years ago, because both his parents and his son died in various clan battles, the power of Akatani fell into the hands of Longxu's two nephews, Si Gan and Shengheng, these two brothers were very mysterious before they succeeded to the throne, and neither Daqi nor Khitan knew much about the two of them."
"It is said that both of them are not very old, and they look like they are in their early twenties. One theory is that they are twins, and the other is that they are a year apart, in short, from the rumors, the two should be similar in age and appearance. ”
"After these two people took charge of the Chigu clan, they vigorously eliminated the conservative old forces in the clan, and this process took about a year, during which Chigu Tongjin was still advancing south to force the Khitan, and won successive victories!"
"What's so difficult about this, doesn't our emperor often fight on the north and south fronts at the same time? Winning battles is also a common thing, and it is not unusual! Drink Green said disapprerovingly.
"It's different." Yunyang shook his head slightly: "The Chigu clan believes in shamanism, and most of the conservative forces in the clan are shamanic wizards, who enjoy great prestige among the clansmen, but they are regarded as gods by the clansmen, and they are people who respond to every call. ”
Because of this, these people are often arrogant, do not listen to the commanders, and even sing the opposite. When Long Xu was the leader, he wanted to take advantage of the internal instability of the Khitan many times to go south to capture their many fertile pastures, and when everything was ready, these sorcerers stood up and obstructed it with the will of the gods, and the attitude of the clansmen was more inclined to believe in the gods, so Long Xu had to put the plan to the south on hold indefinitely. ”
However, after the two brothers Si Gan and Shengheng took power, they were able to clean up the conservative forces completely freely, and at the same time send troops step by step, during which there were many open and secret battles, and how many thunderous means were used, one can imagine. What the two brothers did as soon as they took power did it, it shows how resourceful and decisive these two people are. Moreover, both of them are extremely young, just like the rising sun, if this momentum continues, I am afraid that the current grassland of the Khitan will be in their pockets. ”
"Don't they have weaknesses?" Yin Lu thought with a serious face: "Brothers of the same age like Si Gan and Shengheng will generally not be in power for a long time. Isn't there often such a thing in the play, it was good at first, but after the person who hurt them was eliminated, it was time for the two of them to fight! Or let's send them a beauty directly, and come up with a beauty plan and a discord plan, won't it make them turn against each other? ”
After hearing this, Yunyang's eyes widened in surprise, and he said again and again: "It's amazing, drink green." I didn't expect you to have such insight, it's really condescending to stay in my Qiao Palace. ”
