"Why?"

Fu Yue knelt in the big tent, his body was covered with deep and shallow blood stains on the Qilin Stepping Wave Mingguang Armor, and the lined Hundred Flowers Velvet Robe was also torn out of a few big holes. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a sharp arrow scratch hideously across the left eye of Fuyue an inch of the place, as long as a little bit up, Fuyue's eye will be wasted.

It seems that last night was indeed a thrilling battle.

"Father, why did you let Shen Zhao lead the defenders in the northwest to retreat? Erchen had completely controlled the battle at that time, and the Khitan Khan was also seriously injured, as long as there was one more pillar of incense, Erchen could easily take his head! Seeing that his father had been watching the battle report and did not respond to his words, Fuyue couldn't help but ask again.

Zhao Yuan slowly raised his head, the Nine Lions Roaring Mountain Wen Golden Armor slightly refracted a brilliant light as his body moved, he did not wear a helmet, and his two long sideburns like knives made his cheeks even thinner and colder.

"Fuyue, what is your judgment on the internal political situation of the Khitan?" Zhao Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, he had been riding his horse and standing halfway up the mountain this night, although he did not participate in the battle, but he did not have a moment of rest.

Fu Yue raised his eyebrows, and then said seriously: "The old Khan of the Khitan just passed away a few months ago, he has no heirs, and he died very suddenly, and the elders within the Khitan have not yet determined who will inherit the throne. So several of the old Khan's brothers pushed their sons out with great speed. But there were only three young men who could succeed him, and the two oldest of them were the most capable. ”

"Xiao Yuan, the eldest nephew of the old khan, was twenty-five years old, led troops for many years, and had been stationed in the west of the Khitan, and had a war with the Chigu people. When the old khan died, he was leading his troops to fight with the Chigu people for the Kamal pasture, which also made him not rush back to Tianchi County, the capital of the Khitan, as soon as possible, which became the source of criticism. ”

"The second nephew Xiao Wei is twenty-three years old, although he has been active in Tianchi County and has also won the support of many Khitan elders, but on the eve of the old Khan's funeral, there was a sudden scandal that Xiao Wei forcibly occupied the old Khan's concubine and tortured him to death because he did not obey. As soon as this incident came out, the elders who supported him were disgraced and furious. ”

In order to calm the situation, Xiao swore to ask for punishment and even make a decision to ask for forgiveness from the elders. However, the old khan's wife, Anukedun, refused to give up, and even led many of the old khan's wives to commit suicide in front of the old khan's spirit. At her insistence, the elders did not clearly support Xiao Oath's attitude. ”

At the same time, Anukodun sent people to urgently recall Xiao Hui, the third nephew of the old khan. This Xiao Hui is only 20 years old, but his experience is very mysterious, it is said that he is both civil and military, and is also proficient in Khitan, Chigu and Chinese, especially Chinese has been instructed by famous teachers. But there has never been news about him in Daqi's fine works, and no one knows where he learned Chinese, who taught him, and even where he has been active all these years. ”

After Xiao Hui rushed back to Tianchi County, with the support of Anukedun, he inherited the position of Khan with lightning speed. However, due to his young qualifications and no experience in leading troops, the Khitan elders were not convinced by him. It was only the prestige of the Anukundun that reluctantly recognized the new khan. However, these people have broken ties with Xiao Oath behind their backs, secretly communicated news, and made trouble for the new khan everywhere, hoping that the twenty-year-old new khan would have a hard time and collapse and abdicate as soon as possible. ”

But what people didn't expect was that this new khan gritted his teeth and survived, and he didn't know what means he used to make several Khitan elders turn against him, cut off contact with Xiao Oath, and took refuge under his command. In this way, the originally monolithic Khitan elders began to fall apart. The new khan seized the opportunity of the internal strife among the elders and disposed of several elders who were loyal to Xiao. It is said that the new khan once convened all the elders to discuss the matter, and suddenly called his own soldiers to come in and search everyone, and found fragments of the old khan's clothes under the tables of several elders who were loyal to Xiao, so he immediately pushed these elders out of the tent for the crime of disrespecting the old khan, and dragged them to death with war horses. ”

I thought that this matter would be understood, but I didn't expect that night, the new khan sent troops to arrest all the family members of the tortured elders, and the men tied them up and threw them into the hungry wolf valley, and became the supper of the wolves. The women were driven into the long river of ice, and almost all of these women were frozen to death, and even if they were lucky enough to escape, they were no longer able to have children and became a waste. Therefore, these elder families are considered to be out of the house. ”

Probably afraid of the tyranny of the new khan, Xiao Wei escaped from Tianchi County overnight with his relatives and headed to the northeast. In this way, the new Khan's position can be regarded as a little more secure. ”

When Zhao Yuan heard this, he nodded approvingly: "You were stationed in southern Xinjiang, but you know so well about the internal affairs of the Khitan, which shows that you usually work hard." Your diligence is the same as when I was a child, and I am very pleased. ”

Fu Yue arched his hand and said: "Although the sons are not stationed in the northern Xinjiang, they led the troops to the north this time, just to share the worries of their father, so the ministers paid attention to these major events that happened in the Khitan recently." However, it was precisely because the sons knew about the recent turmoil within the Khitan that they couldn't understand why the father and emperor opened up to this brutal and ruthless Khitan new khan last night? ”

Zhao Yuan looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Fu Yue was even more puzzled: "Father, this time the new Khitan Khan thinks that the unstable factors in Tianchi County have been cleared, so he can rest assured and boldly lead his troops south to harass the border of Daqi, and wants to make some military achievements to make his Khan seat more secure." However, unexpectedly, when he was more than ten miles away from the border of Daqi, his whereabouts were exposed and he fell into the encirclement of our army. This was a good opportunity to annihilate them all in one fell swoop, why did you let General Shen deliberately expose his flaws and let this new Khitan Khan escape with a few hundred personal soldiers, isn't this a return to the mountain? ”

Zhao Yuandao: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." The reason why I did this was entirely for the sake of the situation in the entire northern Xinjiang, not for the Khitan family. ”

Fu Yue pondered for a moment and said: "Father's overall consideration is naturally profound, but the son thinks that the situation in northern Xinjiang is complicated, and the whereabouts of various tribes are not only uncertain, but also capricious, and the Great Qi army is better to divide and rule and break them one by one than to be on guard and defend all year round!" ”

"Do you mean that if you kill the new Khitan Khan this time, you will break the Khitan?" Zhao Yuan asked patiently.

"This ......" Fu Yue was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Their khans are all dead, isn't it considered to be completely defeated?" ”
