Chapter 478: It's Too Hard
Brother Richard's current understanding of the Central Plains is not as deep as Yelu Dashi. After the fall of Western Xia, they were in Guanxi, in the Central Plains, and the buried Fuzi had long been disconnected. Now he is in the far west of Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and many of the news that has reached him is the second news after passing through the hands of Yelu Dashi. He was even more unaware of how much strength Zhao Song had consumed after destroying Jin, and he was more anxious to know the losses of the Song army in order to determine the direction of Zhao Song's next step.
If the Song people send troops westward in the coming year, they will face a real desperate situation.
Because the internal contradictions in the Eastern Kara had not yet been completely intensified, and the Uighurs of Gaochang had apparently already offered their knees to Bianliang.
The Song army marched westward, and Brother Richard and Yelu Dashi had only one way to go.
Or else? Do you want to stay and make a meat shield for the Dongkala people?
Their little shoulders can't afford that much responsibility.
Whether it was Jerodashi or Richard, they had come to this point in order to survive and survive, not to be international friends of the Uighurs in Kara.
That thing is really coming, and Yelu Dashi and the others can only run away, but the 'road' of running away is really a difficult 'road' to take.
For example, this westward march was not the first destination of Jerodashi in the present-day area, and the target of Jerodashi was the East Kopchak people in the earliest days.
However, the tribes of the steppe turned their faces and did not recognize people, and they were now nominally subservient to the Zhao and Song dynasties.
At the beginning of spring, Yelu Dashi followed the Khitan tradition, killed the green ox and white horse to sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, the ancestors, and traveled westward. He actually led his troops into the Turkic Gilligis region in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, which belonged to the Northwest Recruitment Division of the Khitan and belonged to the territory of the Nabarian Tribe.
In the late Yelu Hongji period, the Northern Divination people raised troops against Liao, and the Sticky Bage Department also rebelled, and it took five years for the Khitan Army to quell the rebellion of the Divination people, but there was always nothing to be done about the Naiban Department in the Great Western Territory, and the distance between the two sides was too far. The chief of the barbarians went to the northwest road to ask for the surrender of Jeluut, but the main premise was to return to his homeland and still pay tribute.
The binding force of the Liao State on the Naiban tribe was worse than the binding force of the Manchu Qing on Outer Mongolia and Tibet.
People chose to surrender because of your face, otherwise with the Khitan family, can they still go on an expedition to the Altai Mountains and Hangai Mountain?
Of course, the Naibarians also need to pull the banner of the Khitans in order to calmly face the original Kpchaks and not become Naimans. Even if the Kpchaks at this time had long been divided into two, they would have decayed and declined long ago.
When the barbarians replaced the Jurchens in Zhao Song and 'dominated' the steppe, they simply offered their knees to Zhao Song.
When Xiao Heda fled for his life and was chased and killed by Richard along the way, the one who saved his life was a barbarian.
Yelu Dashi hadn't even made a move on the Nabarians yet, and his original target was Donkepchak. But these barbarian tribes, in turn, attacked the army of Jerodashi first. It was not until Yelu Dashi led his army out of here, turned west and marched southward, and returned to the Western Regions from the areas of Yizhishui (present-day Irtysh River) and Yemiri River (present-day Emin River) that the Nai barbarians stopped.
Yelu Dashi did not see the Kpchak at all, and only the goalkeeper was a barbarian, so he told him to retreat.
It's not that the barbarians are so powerful that they are not opponents, but that the barbarians show a determination to disobey and not bow their heads, and the Altai Mountains are the old base of the people, although Yelu Dashi is a fierce dragon crossing the river, it is difficult to completely suppress the head snake of the ground.
And the people under him are all newly assembled people over the years, and it is difficult to endure hard fighting. Sensing the determination of the barbarians to resist, Yelu Dashi quickly changed direction.
From northwest to southwest, the Uighurs of Qocho had no objection to Yelu Dashi leading his people and driving cattle and sheep through their thousands of miles of territory.
However, the actions of the barbarians have already taught Yelu Dashi and Richard a lesson, and they both have a deep memory of the capital. When you have no choice, how can you dare to easily expose your scars and come to the second long-distance migration?
Aren't you afraid of running into a second barbarian?
"King Khan, dare to ask King Khan, how many soldiers and horses are left in the Song people who can fight?"
Richard picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, while Yelu Dashi looked at the ground silently when he heard this.
was a little anxious, Yelu Dashi's reaction was very wrong, and Brother Richard was even more worried, and hurriedly said: "King Khan, King Khan...... "What the hell is going on, you can say a word."
"In the battle to destroy Jin, the Song people were killed and wounded by tens of thousands of people before and after, and the cost of money, food, and military funds was incalculable. However, his family's big business did not hurt his muscles and bones. You also know that they did not fight against several heavily defended cities of the Jin people...... "How can they really suffer heavy losses?"
Whether it is Runzhou or Jinzhou, the golden soldiers in the city are now hesitating.
"Looking at the situation, there are still many soldiers and generals, and there is plenty of money and food."
"We can't beat their ......"
Yelu Dashi knew very well how quickly the Central Plains would accumulate strength after eliminating the external troubles. Look at the two Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang dynasties in history, isn't it a good example? As far as Zhao Song's current family background is concerned, I am afraid that it will be able in three or five years: recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in the past, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families. The rice is fat and the corn is white, and the public and private warehouses are abundant.
The gap between the two sides will only widen, until they are far behind Zhao Song, and it is difficult to see the shadow of others.
If you can't beat it now, you really won't be able to beat it forever in the future.
The generals of the old generation of the Song army have faded, not to mention the big and small species and Liu Yanqing who were defeated by the Jin people, even Yao Gu, Yang Weizhong, and even Wang Yuan, have all retreated to the second line, or are about to abdicate.
A group of newcomers led by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Yao Youzhong, one by one, were in the prime of life, and with Zhao Gou, an emperor with a tough personality and a strong desire for expansion, it was almost inevitable that Zhao and Song would use troops on the Western Front in the future.
In the long run, Yelu Dashi is not the opponent of the Central Plains Han'er, and in the near future, he is not an opponent either.
"The Song family has a great cause, and there are many generals and generals, but the most important thing is their emperor." Yelu Dashi's eyes were a little fluttering, "Zhao Gou, that really doesn't look like his Lao Tzu's seed." ”
Yelu Dashi felt from the bottom of his heart that Zhao Gou was terrifying, and in only a few years, Zhao Song had become unrecognizable to him. But he still has so much to do.
The situation is very sharp?
The real dagger is about to pierce the vest, and if you slow down, you will die! He can't be fast at all now.
The internal contradictions in Dongkala have not yet been fully aroused, and it is not easy for him to occupy the magpie's nest. The Seljuks, farther west, were also eyeing the Eastern Kara, keeping an eye on the situation in the east. If Zhao Song kills him at this time, it will really kill him.
Because of the things further west, Jerodashi is not clear at all. Moreover, it is very likely that entering the Eastern Kara will become a point of contact for the transfer of contradictions between the Eastern Qarakhanid Ibrahim and the Qarluq chieftains and Khamri.
However, if Yelu Dashi couldn't take Dongkala as his basic plate and only stayed in Yemili, and the Song army came over, he really had to go to Dongkepchak again......
Jerodashi is so difficult.
