――――――

This is an era of war, and many important things are happening in parallel.

Although the "Liangshuiting Meeting" and its subsequent development were an extremely important event, they were not the only important ones.

The war between Jin and Han continued, and although the battle line was becoming more and more solid day by day, the fighting was becoming more and more fierce day by day. And the war of the Southern Song Dynasty regime to quell the Zhongxiang Rebellion was also going on at the same time.

The New Han regime was sandwiched between the Jin and the Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that it was a two-headed enemy, which was quite unfavorable diplomatically, but because the Southern Song Dynasty regime was temporarily unable to look north, the political vacuum in Henan was able to maintain the status quo, and the sandwich cake in Shandong could keep a core territory equivalent to the two Shandong Peninsulas.

However, Zhi Yanchong seemed a little uneasy. It is not the internal political situation that disturbs him, but the external military situation - he understands very well that he is not afraid of anything politically as long as there are no mistakes in the military sphere! But the biggest problem now is that the new Han regime is likely to have military problems.

Now the whole world is a situation of death and life, and he knows that he must solve the problem of the Jin people before Zhao Gou stabilizes the south, otherwise there will be a crisis that is more serious than ever. This crisis included not only diplomatic aspects, but also internal problems of the Han regime. However, the attack on the Huining side has not been effective for a long time, not because the troops under Zhi Yanchong and Aluman are not strong enough, but because the foundation of the Jurchens in this area is really not something that can be easily uprooted in just one or two years.

The tenacity of the Huanglong Mansion made Zhi Yanchong more and more irritable, and he began to hate the soldiers in the city - especially the Han soldiers and civilians who helped the Jin people defend the city! Zhi Yanchong knew that this kind of protracted war without obvious results was most likely to cause soldiers to become war-weary. If one is not careful, and another real defeat occurs, then the foundation of the new Han regime may be ruined.

"What should I do?"

Zhi Yanchong is thinking about this problem, Yang Yingqi is thinking about this problem, Cao Guangbi and Yang Kaiyuan are also thinking about this problem, and there is another person, he is not only thinking, but also doing! This person is Xiao Tienu.

At the beginning, Xiao Tienu and Wei Mingchage reached an agreement, not only to hand over the places under his control, from the Yellow River in the south to Yinshan in the north, to Yelu Chage, but also to leave all the materials that could not be taken away without damage, Xiao Tienu even revealed a lot of the Jin Army's military intelligence that he had spyed on. In return, Brother Wei Mingcha not only gave Xiao Ziqi 5,000 horses and a large amount of supplies, but also did a lot of camouflage work after Xiao Tienu left to hide Yan Xiyin's eyes and ears - in fact, this was also necessary for him, because he had to buy time to prepare the fortifications before Zong Han knew that Western Xia had taken over the land.

So Xiao Tienu rolled up all the people and things that were easy to take away from Elechuan, plus the war horse materials he asked for from Western Xia, and crossed Yinshan into Mobei. At this time, Xiao Ziqi was not so much an army as a tribe, because there were not only women in the army, but even some teenagers. The old and weak are those who have already stayed at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and those who enter the grassland are left with the strong people, the people who are about to become strong (teenagers), and the people who can provide power for the strong (women).

After entering the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, the number of Xiao Ziqi is about 50,000, the direct combat team is about 30,000, and the elite is about 10,000.

As far as equipment is concerned, the equipment of Xiao Ziqi is quite sophisticated, because their core equipment is brought from southern Liaoning, and it is tailored by the Han military system according to the characteristics of Xiao Ziqi. After such a long period of isolation from the headquarters, the wear and tear of weapons is inevitable, but there is already a team of craftsmen and soldiers in the Xiao Ziqi army, which can provide repair and even rebuild for weapons, and Xiao Tienu's plundering of the surrounding areas can also supplement some weapons. In addition, as long as there is an opportunity, the imperial merchants of the Han Department will also provide as much supplies as possible for Xiao Ziqi, especially the "robbery" of the caravan sent by Yang Yingqi last time, and the caravan of Chen Chu brought by the disease this time, the weapons provided are the most sophisticated and advanced.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Xiao Ziqi can be said to be the most barbaric part of the entire Han military system. A few years ago, when he was still in southern Liaoning, he had already improved after being influenced by the folk customs of southern Liaoning, but after being cut off from the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, Xiao Ziqi's barbarism returned to the level before he settled in southern Liaoning. The strong folk customs, the spirit of not being afraid of death, coupled with sufficient vigorous horsepower, simple and effective organization, this is the most terrifying thing about the nomadic tribe!

It can be said that Xiao Ziqi has both the military superiority of the barbarians and the technical advantages of a civilized nation, and it even has a civilian system headed by Lu Yanlun, and the power of the combination of these three can be imagined.

At this time, Mobei was still in a state of fragmentation. In the heyday of the Liao State, the territory reached Beihai, and the Northwest Road Recruitment Division and the Wugu Enemy Lie Command Army Division were set up to control the various ethnic groups in Mobei. At the end of the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan government's control over the Mobei ethnic groups was greatly weakened, but the native ethnic groups in this place still had not yet formed a unified climate, but only local and unstable alliances appeared, such as Hebule, who had helped Zhe Yanchong at the beginning, was the leader of one of the alliances. In addition, there are still hundreds of tribes of all sizes scattered across this steppe that stretches for thousands of miles, and these herdsmen have only three choices when they encounter a well-organized regular army like Xiao Ziqi: either they can hide, or they will be absorbed, or they will be defeated or even exterminated!

At the beginning, Yelu Dashi took away a large number of people in the west, so in the past few years, Mobei's resources have been more relaxed than before compared to its population pressure. Although there were no statistics on the Mobei grassland at that time, but as far as it is estimated that the total population at that time was only one million, the million population was not unified, and the population of several large tribal alliances was at most tens of thousands, plus the orders were uneven, the technology was backward and other reasons, so the Mobei in Huayuan 1681 did not form a strong military group, and after the Xiao Ziqi entered, it was already second to none in terms of combat effectiveness. Because of this, it can be said that Xiao Ziqi's entry into Mobei not only pulled Mobei into the white-hot battle for the Central Plains, but also an opportunity for Mobei itself to be completely broken!

"Six generals! The Ochre of the Lonely Mountain Department of Dadan sent people here! ”

"What are they doing here?"

"General Mughul asked, the messenger had come on behalf of their chieftain to ask us what we were doing here!"

Xiao Tienu asked, "How many people are there in Wugu Mountain now?" ”

"It seems like there are ten thousand or twenty thousand."

"Well, that's a big tribe too. Please! ”

This messenger from the Wugu Mountains was a bearded man in his forties, named Apayatachi, who seemed to be quite capable, and when Mughul talked to him, he found that he looked a bit like a merchant, and even suspected that this guy was of some Vulish blood.

Xiao Ziqi's military discipline is so strict that it is almost cruel, from the gate to the commander's tent to pass through six passes, and the soldiers guarding each pass not only have a cool face, but the weapons in their hands are very scary. Every time the messenger crossed the pass, his head bowed by half a minute, and when he reached the front of the commander's tent, he was almost hunched at the waist. After entering the big tent, Apayatachi was forced by the murderous aura in the tent, and actually trembled and prostrated on the ground, and said in Khitan dialect: "See the big handsome." ”

"Look up." Xiao Tienu said in Khitan dialect.

Apayataki raised his head, Xiao Tienu looked at him twice, and asked, "Do you know how to speak Chinese?" ”

"Yes." "Over the years, there have been occasional businessmen from the Han Department who have done business with us, so we have all learned," Apayatchi said. ”

"Oh-" Xiao Tienu raised his eyebrows, thinking that the merchants of the Han Department had actually come deep into this place, and asked, "Why did you come to see me?" ”

Apayataki prostrate and said, "Our patriarch dragged the ochre to send the little one here, and I want to ask where the big marshal came from?" Was it sent by the Great Liao Imperial Court? ”

Although the Liao State has been destroyed, the residual power is still there.

Xiao Tienu sneered: "The Liao Kingdom is already over, don't you even know this?" ”

Apayatchi hurriedly said: "Yes, I heard about this, so the big marshal is the general of Dajin?" ”

"Daikin?" Xiao Tienu laughed and said, "Dajin is about to beat us!" ”

Apayatchi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "That marshal brought so many soldiers and horses this time, I don't know why?" Seeing that Xiao Tienu didn't answer for a while, he said: "This area is a pasture that we have been staying for generations, and the handsome man is here, is he here to take away our pasture?" ”

"Take your pasture?" Xiao Tienu laughed and said, "How many things can you produce in this ranch?" It's so far away and poor, what do I want you to do on this ranch! ”

Apayatachi was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked again: "What is the ...... that handsome man is here?"

Xiao Tienu didn't answer his words, took a glass bead and played with it in his hand, and said: "A hero has just appeared in the Central Plains, ruling 50 million people from the East China Sea to Western Xia, do you know about this? ”

Apayatchi asked, "Which hero is it?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "It's the leader of the Han Department just now-Zhi Yanchong!" ”
