Chapter 780: Merging and Connecting (6)

Shuocheng is the royal capital of the fief of Tumeng, the king of Qi of Liao, this city and Ningcheng, the capital of Liao, was built almost at the same time, the resources and manpower used by the two cities are unprecedented and huge, of course, compared with the vastness and magnificence of the national capital Ningjing, Shuocheng is unusually strong, this is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If Ningjing is the economic and political center of the Momeng Grassland, then Shuocheng is undoubtedly the military center of the entire Liao State.

Along the way, Wang Congben has always closely observed the surrounding scene, after a few days of observation, he was shocked to find that villages and towns and cities appeared in his field of vision, although the scale of these villages and towns and cities are very small, the surrounding population is still sparse, but this is a phenomenon on the surface, after the establishment of the Liao State, the Hu people are indeed vigorously promoting the improvement of order and system, in the harsh environment of the grassland, in those few places with superior environment, concentrate resources and manpower, establish towns, engage in production and construction, Rapidly increase the overall national strength of the Liao State.

After learning of Wang Congben's identity and getting a fairly expensive fortune, the Hu centurion had a much kinder attitude towards Wang Congben, and he often explained Wang Congben's inquiries very carefully and in detail.

From the Hu centurion, Wang Congben had a general understanding of the current situation in Liao.

Hohebari is the eldest son of the late Tianxiong Khan Arislan, because Arislan had a clear order before his death, after his death, the position of Khan was handed over to the eldest son Hohebari, because of this will, Hohe Bari successfully inherited the position and power of his father Arislan.

The Hu people are different from the Han people, they have no distinction between descendants, and the succession of the Hu Khans in the past dynasties relied on their own strength, rather than what they were the heirs and the elders.

Arislan himself is not interested in internal affairs, he has the general character of the Hu people, rough and arrogant, for fighting and killing, has a natural passion and heat, so in the last ten years of Arislan as a khan, he almost handed over all the internal affairs to the eldest son Hohe Bari to take care of, and Hohe Bari is keen on Han culture, and gathered a large number of talented Han people, with the assistance of these Han people, Hohe Bari took care of the internal affairs in an orderly manner, and was highly appreciated and admired by many Hu people. In the process, Hohba Ri gained great prestige and fame.

Arislan has hundreds of wives and more than 60 daughters, but only has six sons, the eldest Huhe Bari, the second Chagan, the third Enkhbara, the fourth Hedmutu, the fifth Gegen, and the youngest son Mengtu, the eldest Huhe Bari has a very outstanding ability to govern the country, so Azhislan handed over the internal affairs of the entire Hu tribe to the eldest son to take care of, and the younger son Tumeng, because of his high military talent, brave and good at fighting, was taken by Azhislan all the year round, and often participated in the war against the Mo Nanhu tribe.

Although there are not many sons of Arislan, they are all very outstanding, especially the eldest son Huhe Bari and the youngest son Tumeng, who are the best among the young generation of the Momeng grassland.

In the later years of Arislan, Hohebari, who is the great Taiji, has fully taken over the internal affairs of the entire Mobei grassland, but on the other hand, Tumon, who has been following Arislan all the year round, is too strong in military power, and the perennial conquest of the Monan Hu tribe has laid a great reputation for Tumeng, which has led to a very strange phenomenon, Hohebari seems to be at the core of power, is the ruler of the entire Mobei grassland, and is the ironclad future heir of the Khan, but the army in his hands is few and pitiful. There are only 20,000 directly subordinate guards, and Tumeng is on the border of Mobei, which seems to be far away from the core of power, but in his hands is the most elite 300,000 troops of the Mobei Hu tribe.

Many people have tactfully mentioned their concerns to Arislan about this.

The Han minister Huang Si was even more fierce admonished, secretly saying that his Tumeng military power was too strong, and he would definitely be too big to lose his day, threatening the position of the Khan of Huhe Bari, so that he could make plans as soon as possible, and take advantage of the time when Azhislan was alive, with the help of his strength, deprive Tumeng of his military power, put him under house arrest, and even kill him.

The conspiracy between Hohe Bari and the Yellow Temple was discovered by Tumon, and he immediately returned to the Khan Court alone, in front of his father Khan Arislan and his brothers, knelt and kowtowed, cried loudly, and begged the eldest brother Hohe Bari to spare his life, Arislan asked Hohe Bari on the spot whether the matter was true, and Hohe Bari did not dare to hide it, so he had to say that the Yellow Temple did say such a thing, but was rejected by himself, and put all the responsibility on the head of the Yellow Temple.

In this regard, Arislan was furious, in order to provoke the crime of fratricide, he was about to execute the Yellow Temple on the spot.

After this incident, the brotherhood between Hohe Bari and Tumeng seems to be getting closer and closer, in fact, there has been an irreparable rift between the two, and in his later years, seeing the Mobei grassland becoming stronger and stronger, eliminating the Mo Nanhu tribe and unifying the entire Momeng grassland, this overall situation has become irreversible, it is only a matter of time, of course, I am afraid that I can't see it, therefore, in addition to wine and women, in addition to wine and women, Arislan in his later years no longer has any interest in other things, and there was a lesson from the Yellow Temple before, even if others see that the problem is wrong, they will not dare to have any further advice.

After the death of Arislan, Hohba Ri successfully succeeded to the throne of Khan, but at this time, Hohba Ri was not excited or excited about becoming a khan, but was nervous and afraid, the root of which was Tumon, who held the military power.

At that time, there were only 20,000 Khanting guards in the hands of Hohba, and the fourth Hedmutu who was actively co-opted, and there were about 30,000 tribal troops directly under him in the hands of Hedmutu, even so, the two of them added up to only 50,000 troops, not to mention that Tumun had more than 300,000 troops in his hands, the second Chagan, the third Enkhbara, and the fifth Gegen were all on his side, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of these three people added up to more than 100,000, so the army that Tumun could call at that time exceeded 400,000, It is nearly ten times the number of people in Hohba Ri, and if Tumun has any dissent, he can easily overthrow Hohe Bari and seize the position of Khan.

However, soon, Huhe Bari was greatly relieved, and Tumeng obeyed his father Arislan's dying orders, one in the main and one outside the main, and the two brothers worked together to eliminate the Monan Hu tribe and unify the entire Momeng grassland, so that in the end, the army could go south, destroy the Great Jin, and establish an incomparably brilliant and powerful empire.
