Chapter 390: Karasuma Divisions
After eating, Liu Zheng planned to leave the inn, and before leaving, Liu Zheng called Xiao Er again.
"Xiao Er, I want to ask, if I want to buy a horse, who should I go to here?"
Xiao Er was already very grateful to Liu Zheng because of the reward Liu Zheng gave just now, and in the face of Liu Zheng's inquiry, he also knew everything and said everything, and after hearing Liu Zheng's words, he immediately gave Liu Zheng an answer.
"Guest officer, in fact, at this time, if you want to buy a horse, you can only go to the Karasuma people or Xianbei people, if the weather is hotter, there will be a horse dealer here occasionally, and you can ask them to buy it, but now at this time, the horse merchants have left, and they will not come out to carry out activities at this time, so ah, if you must buy it, go west, the fastest half a day, there should be a small tribe of Karasuma people, where is there a small tribe of 100 people, if you only need a small number of horses, where can you buy them."
Xiao Er's description and explanation were still very conscientious, and he answered all the questions asked by Liu Zheng, which also made Liu Zheng nod and said that it was worth the broken gold that he threw to Xiao Er just now.
"Thank you."
After a simple answer, Liu Zheng led his people away.
Liu Zheng didn't stay long in Yangle County, he had a light meal here, and left with Gan Ning and Tai Shici.
Leaving to go to Yangle County, coming out of the gate of Yangle County, Liu Zheng did not go to other places, but went straight to the subject country of Liaodong.
In the Liaodong vassal country, he wanted to go directly to the Karasuma people to buy horses, and the Karasuma people and the Youzhou officials were fighting, although he had the intention to intervene, but with the current strength, hundreds of soldiers, or some soldiers who were not elite, and fighting with the Karasuma people here, it was simply a fool's dream.
Therefore, Liu Zheng did not expect that his current manpower would be able to stop the war between the Karasuma people and Youzhou, since he could not stop it, then Liu Zheng decided to make a mistake and get some war horses from the Karasuma people.
Liu Zheng did not follow the direction that Xiao Er said before, and went directly to the Karasuma tribe he guided, and he was unfamiliar with the place, so he rashly went to a strange place, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fraud, in case, Liu Zheng revealed his wealth, that Xiao Er is actually the meticulous work of the Karasuma people, and if Liu Zheng is not good, he will capsize in the gutter.
So he decided to find a tribe of Karasuma people on his own and try to talk about buying horses.
The huge Liaodong vassal country has other things that are unusual, but the tribe of the Karasuma people is not unusual.
The Karasuma people are different from the Han court, which is represented by the country and is a whole.
Having an emperor is the pinnacle of power.
But the Karasuma people are the leaders of the tribe, and the most powerful person in a tribe is called the king, but the one who rules all the tribes is called Shan Yu.
And the Karasuma people, now Shan Yu is just a puppet, because they, like the Han court, are now in a state of division, with several different tribes, all powerful and each king.
Liu Zheng's spies hadn't fully penetrated into Liaodong, but he still knew about some of Karasuma's tribes.
The leader of this Karasuma branch in western Liaoxi is called Qiu Liju, who leads more than 6,000 households, and the leader of Karasuma in Shanggu County is called Nanlou, who leads more than 9,000 households, and they all claim to be kings. The leader of Karasuma in Liaodong is called Su Fuyan, who leads more than 1,000 households, which is now Karasuma Shan Yu. The leader of the right Beiping Karasuma is called Uyan, who leads more than 800 households, and calls himself the king of Khanlu.
After betraying the imperial court, Zhang Chun, the Taishou of Zhongshan, fled to the tribe of Qiu Liju, proclaimed himself the king of Mitian Anding, and wanted to use the hand of Qiu Liju to conquer Youzhou, and together with Qiu Liju, dominate the entire Karasuma.
Although Qiu Liju's strength is very strong, in fact, there are only more than 30,000 real Karasuma people under Qiu Liju, and there are as many as 50,000 people in Nanlou, and Nanlou is the most qualified to hegemon, but Nanlou is not nominally Karasuma Shan Yu of Liaodong Vassal, so he has the intention to hegemon, but he does not dare to openly disobey the Han court, but to obey Shan Yu Su Yan's orders.
And although Su Muyan is Karasuma Shanyu, he has only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and among the many leaders of Karasuma, the right to speak is not high, and he has always been troubled by Qiu Liju and Nanlou.
This time the men and horses who attacked the Han Dynasty, although they were mainly Qiu Liju's men and horses, but Nanlou sat in Shanggu, with 20,000 Chen soldiers, eyeing the tiger, and it also had the meaning of going south to invade Jizhou.
Only Su Muyan, because there is no Han territory around, he did not lead the soldiers and horses to attack the Han, and he is also a righteous Karasuma Shan Yu at this time, if he is against the Han Dynasty, then he can't even keep this Shan Yu's name.
"Lord, where are we going this time?"
Liu Zheng led five hundred cavalry, galloping in this snowy region, in the ice and snow, a white expanse went away, except for some rare dead branches, there were few other things.
"Go to the subject country of Liaodong, under Su Muyan's account!"
"Su Fuyan!"
Gan Ning didn't know who this Su Muyan was, but when he heard Liu Zheng talk about it, he repeated it again.
"Liaodong vassal country, Shan Yu of the Karasuma people, Brother Liu Zheng, are you going to the Shan Yu royal court of the Karasuma people, exciting, did you kill their Shan Yu directly, and then these Karasuma people will break themselves?"
At this time, Tai Shici thought that Liu Zheng was sent by the imperial court to deal with the rebellion of the Karasuma people, and when he heard Liu Zheng say that he was going to the royal court of the Karasuma people, he was even more excited, thinking that he could mix some military exploits with Liu Zheng in this way, and maybe he would become a general directly.
"Well, we are going to the royal court of the Karasuma people, but we are not going to kill him, Su Fuyan, this Shan Yu is just a puppet, and the other Karasuma leaders will not pay attention to him at all, and it will not help to kill him, we are going to find him, in fact, there is another purpose."
"What's that purpose?"
Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Liu Zheng meant by what he said.
Liu Zheng glanced at Tai Shici, just smiled faintly, and didn't say much.
"You'll know when you go."
Liu Zheng didn't want to tell Tai Shici that his main purpose in going to Su Fuyan was actually to buy a horse.
Su Fuyan's royal court is actually not difficult to find, after all, after Liu Zheng left Yangle County in western Liaoning, he walked in the direction of the east, and it didn't take long for him to see a small tribe of dozens of people.
After inquiring about the direction of the royal court here, it only took two days for Liu Zheng's people to find the location of the Karasuma royal court, a small town where three thousand people gathered.
It is said that it is a town, and there is some reluctance, after all, the castle tower is just an earthen city made of some soil blocks, which is extremely simple.
Liu Zheng's 500 cavalry killed the city, and it also caused a sensation in the royal court, but Liu Zheng did not attack the city, but shouted directly inside.
"Please inform Su Servant Yan Shan Yu, just say that the Han envoy is coming, and please come out to greet Shan Yu!"
