Chapter 1387: White Calamity

Su You said: "If you want to fight, it's not that you don't have a chance, Qingtang Dong Yu is seriously ill, and Ali Gu has repeatedly put pressure on the chiefs with gold orders, wanting to gather their relatives in Qingtang City, but in fact, he is under house arrest, which has caused great dissatisfaction among the chiefs. ”

"Last year, we opened the city in Shalan, and the trade of the five states of the Silk Road gave the merchants great benefits. In this year's tea market, the sales volume of silk tea exceeded my expectations. The road is also smooth, and the army also provides protection along the way, and the prosperity of Qingtang has become a thing of the past. ”

"Qingtang is now floating in people's hearts, income is cut off, there are still Dong Yu's sister-in-law Lin Qibi outside, and the old minister Wen Xixin, as long as Dong Yu dies, my Song Dynasty will be Qin Mugong who supports his ears into Jin."

Chong Yi pursed his lips: "Grandma Li has stabilized Liangzhou, and Xihe is on top of each other, and Qingtang has been finished since that time." Just leave the credit to him. ”

"Ouch, little Baxin is big...... Su You smiled and patted Chongyi's shoulder: "The rice has to be eaten in one bite, people are a country of brothers." ”

"But it's not that there is no movement over there, have you read the newspaper from the imperial court? The female of the Huanglong Mansion is directly attached to Liao. There are also five Tatar tribes to present famous horses, which is the matter of last month. ”

Chongyi said: "March into the horse? It's too harsh, isn't it? ”

Su You said: "Hachiro, you must know that Song and Liao are both big countries, and great powers will never be defeated by others. They...... You can only defeat yourself. ”

Chong Yi shook his head: "If the Liao Kingdom continues like this, there will be chaos soon......"

The two crossed a grassy slope, and the horses came to the water's edge, and Chongyi pointed to the huge river in the north: "Teacher, this is the Wuga River." ”

Su You looked at the river as far as the eye could see: "Spectacular." ”

Chongyi said: "Before the peach blossom flood, the river here was six miles wide, and the riverbed was full of sandbars, forks, and many swirls, commonly known as 'broken river'. ”

"By June, it's going to be an ocean again. This section of the river is extremely unstable and often migrates to the north and south, so it causes many dead river tubes, shaped like ox yokes, also called oxbow lakes. ”

"Along the river, I have prepared dense planting of sand willow and saxon as a barrier to avoid the trouble of coming from the north after the winter freeze."

Su You said: "Defense is one thing, the key is the scout group, cavalry, intelligence, lookout, with our current strength, we must resolutely destroy the enemy outside the border." ”

"The Weifu Military Division of Montenegro in the north, six hundred miles are the land of the original Xia Kingdom, the military operations in that area, my Great Song Dynasty has enough legitimate reasons, and I need to be bold when the matter comes, understand?"

Chongyi nodded: "Teacher, don't worry." ”

"Even if it's private, you can't call it that way in the future." Su You patted Chong Yi's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "The Great Song Dynasty is most afraid of this, not to mention that you and I are different in civil and military, and you have acted as an agent of the Military Academy, and now you are the general of the unified army." ”

At this moment, a fast horse galloped along the canal towards the place where the two of them were stationing: "Yixi Weishe, the living Buddha, please return to the Great Trap Valley quickly!" ”

Su You only walked to Hue Du, and received the news that in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, in the fourth month of summer, Bingwushuo, heavy snow in Liaojing, flat land, six or seven out of ten horse dead.

The entire north of Huanglongfu has been affected, and the Zhubu and White Tatars in the north of Ningxia Sanlu, in order to avoid the snow disaster, have entered the Song Dynasty and gathered in the valley of the Helan Mountain Pass.

Renduo Baozhong urgently summoned his subordinates, 30,000 people guarded the grain city, 30,000 people controlled the Great Trap Valley, and at the same time urgently asked for help from Xingzhou.

Sun Neng was taken aback by the information he received, and personally led the Crane Control Army out of Keyimen to meet Su You.

When Su You arrived at the Twin Pagoda Temple, he heard that the great monk in red had gone to the Tatar tribe.

Su You looked around, but found an acquaintance who shouldn't be here: "Hutu? What are you doing here? ”

Rindo Baozhong said: "It is the letter that Hutu rushed to report. ”

Su You asked, "Where are they?" ”

Hutu said, "I met them in Lou Bo Beihai. ”

Lou Bo Beihai is the big salt pond three hundred miles north of the grain city, and Su You didn't ask any more: "Let's go, go and see." ”

Hutu hurriedly said: "I am familiar with the White Tartar man Mungenturak, so take me with you." ”

Su You nodded: "I really need an interpreter, let's go." ”

When they came to the valley, the 30,000 loyal people of Rindo had already gathered here, built the wall, and blocked the north.

The Tibetan people are like this, three or four in the tribe can draw out a soldier, and they can fight immediately, the cost of transferring troops is completely different from that of the farming clan in the Central Plains, and ten ding and one soldier are good.

Su You gave Sun Neng a look, Sun Neng waved his hand, and the five scout cavalry, one person and three horses, rushed to the north. Immediately followed by a thousand cavalry divided into three teams, they also slowly headed north.

The remaining 2,000 men occupied the high ground on both sides, and the fighters began to dig bunkers, set up artillery emplacements, and in a blink of an eye they were ready.

Renduo Baozhong is not a stupid person, he followed Su You without saying a word, and let a hundred soldiers of the new army even Su You take himself to be protected, quite conscious of surrendering.

After a while, a group of scouts rushed back with three people, one of whom was a middle-aged monk in red, and two sturdy Tatar men.

Hutu whispered beside Su You: "The one on the right is Mungenturak. The one on the left should be from the Divination Department. ”

The three of them rushed to the front, and the red-clothed monk got off the horse: "Yixi Weishe, the living Buddha has stayed in the two tribes, let me bring them to meet you." ”

The two knelt down, and Mungenturak stretched out his hands and cried: "Yeshe Waisha, the Immortal Heaven has brought such a terrible disaster as the White Plague in April, and the Living Buddha says that only the Bright and Wise Guru can save us, Yesi Wicksha, save us!" ”

The current Tatars are far from being as strong as they will sweep the world eighty years later, and the current Tatars are the targets that the Liao, the Western Xia, the Black Khan, and even the Uighurs dare to step on.

Most of the Tatar tribes became vassals of the Liao people in order to be blessed, but the Liao people were actually very harsh on them.

Su You shook his head and sighed: "In March of breeding lambs, you still have to pay tribute to the Liao people, if you don't cherish the gifts that Immortal Heaven gives you, Immortal Heaven will punish you." ”

Mungenturak cried: "That's not what we want, it's the Liao people who persecuted us!" Every year at this time, they come to extort our best stallions, don't believe you ask Brother Hutu. ”

Su You asked: "Mongentulak, your intentions are not honest, my scout told me that your so-called tribe is all men, and there are no women or children, are you going to test my wisdom?" ”

Mungenturak was stunned for a moment, but when he really wanted to speak, Su You immediately said: "You call me Yesywesher, I need your honesty now, tell me, where are the women and children of your tribe?" Also, tell me your intention to lead your tribe south. ”

"If you can't be honest, then I'm sorry, you're not a guest worthy of my respect, and I won't help you."

Mungenturak glanced at another Tatar, who was ruthless: "Dear Yesi Waishe, I am Jida, the eldest son of the leader of the Hindrance Division, Su Rizhe. Our people are now led by my father, and the women and children are in the Gobi north of Lou Bobei. ”

"When we went south, we originally wanted to snatch some grain and lambs, but it was the Living Buddha who stopped us, saying that the 500,000 army of the Khan of Xia was wiped out by Yeshe Weishe, and that you are a generous and merciful guru, and if you need help, speaking with sincerity is ten thousand times better than speaking with a sword."

Only then did Su You get off his horse and help the two of them up: "When the white plague comes, the first thing to lose in the tribe is the lamb herd; In the cold and hunger, the first to fall were the women and the children, without whom the tribe would have no future. ”

"You have suffered a disaster, and you have to cross the desert, I want to ask how many of you are left? Let's start with the woman and the child. ”

Jeddah said: "We have 50,000 and the White Tartars 30,000. There are about 50,000 men who have passed Lou Bobei. ”

Su You said: "I will send you two hundred carts of food now, and I will use my four hundred soldiers, and I ask you to promise me that the women and children of the tribe will be fed first, and then it will be your turn." ”

"Then all of you come here, bring your own swords, all your bows and arrows, and let the sick and infirm come to me in the cart, and when you get here, we will discuss how to help you, shall we?"

Jeddah and Mungenturak gratefully kissed the upper of Su You's boots: "What the Living Buddha said is right, the kindness of Yesi Waisha can dissolve the snow and ice in April, so we will rush back." ”

Su You turned his head: "Renduo, open a grain city, pull two hundred carts of grain, no, flour, pull two hundred carts of flour over, that thing is easier to process and easy to absorb." ”

Nito nodded and went.
