Ye Qing and the others did not find the camel herd they had passed by, but instead encountered a caravan that was also composed of camel teams, and from the dress of these people, they could tell at a glance that these people were authentic Khorezmians.

A ten-person small business brigade composed of seven camels and ten horses, after Ye Qing and the six had just climbed the canyon, with his acquiescence, Mu Huali and the five men only took a very short time to solve nine of them.

The only one who planned to ride a horse and throw down the goods to escape, but in the end he couldn't escape the fate of being robbed, and was dragged off the horse by Ye Qing, and without hesitation, he broke his neck and threw it into the canyon.

After stripping off the white robes and turbans of the Khorezm people, who were almost the same size as them, and the corpses were also thrown into the canyon, Ye Qing and the six of them turned into a small business travel team from the East under the cover of night.

As Ye Qing and the six of them disguised themselves as business travelers, they discerned the direction, and after the camel bell rang again, they began to take advantage of the night to walk in the direction of Yifa City.

They were already not far from Ifa City, but because of the chasing soldiers, they had to take advantage of their strong mobility and hide in the canyon, but even so, the rest in the canyon and the rush did not keep them away from the range of Ifa City.

Unlike the city gate of the Central Plains City, which is closed regularly, Yifa City may also be because of the arrival of the sun god, when Ye Qing and the others approached the city gate, the city gate was still crowded and endless, and it was still very lively under the dim light.

The inventory at the city gate is still quite strict, and the inventory at the city gate has not been relaxed because the number of people waiting to enter the city at the city gate continues to increase.

With the tourists of other Khorezm people, or business travelers, or other people, consciously waiting in line to enter the city, for Ye Qing, who was dressed as a business traveler, it was not difficult for them to enter the city.

After half an hour, it was their turn to enter the city, and in the face of the investigation of the Khwarazm people guarding the city, Ye Qing and the others calmly dealt with it, and the Khorezm people didn't seem to be interested in their identities, but after checking the goods on the back of the camels and horses, after paying the entry tax, they could enter the city generously.

Six people, seven camels, ten horses, such business trips abound, not a very large business trip, not to mention this is also in line with the configuration of each small business trip, always the ratio of camels and horses to one, but also to cope with the various accidents of the long journey on the road.

The city of Efa is not very large, even at night, after entering the city, you can still see that at the end of the straight street, a tower-shaped building much higher than the low buildings around it, is now brightly lit around.

The six of them slowly approached the building along the street, and the closer they got, the more crowds around them, each looking at the tall building with reverence.

Ye Qing and Mu Huali rode on the camelback and looked at everyone's eyes, only to see that the vague figure under the light was a little familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere.

"This must be their sun god Fars, right?" Mu Huali looked at the rough outline and whispered.

"Looking like, who knows. Find the inn first and then see if the deployment of troops in the city is more than the guards of the other two cities. Ye Qing tugged on the reins, followed the camel turn, and walked towards a slightly quieter alley.

In addition to being unfamiliar with the place, it is not easy to find an inn suitable for these merchants in the city of Ifa to live, not to mention that their appearance is different from most of the people here, even if they are bearded, they can still be distinguished as foreign merchants.

In an alley not far from the Zoroastrians, they finally found an inn dedicated to foreign merchants, and all their goods, after being inspected by the city gatekeepers, were naturally thought to be carrying the goods they bought from Khorezm on their way back.

Even if he settled down temporarily, Ye Qing's mind was always haunting the tall building he had just seen, the figure of the sun god of Zoroastrianism, even if the lights were bright at night, but he was still not sure whether the figure beside the sun god Fars was the dress of the Liao people.

The knock on the door temporarily pulled Ye Qing's thoughts back, and after eating on the lively first floor of the inn with Mu Huali and the other four people, he began to investigate Yifa City according to the plan, whether there were any secrets still hidden.

The language barrier also caused them great difficulties, and the time was pressing, so the six had to divide into two groups and agree to meet in front of Zoroastrianism after an hour.

In the entire city of Ifah, there are not many soldiers who can be stationed in the city, most of them are still stationed outside the city, and they have already found out quite clearly when they enter the city, so now it is necessary to understand the situation in the city, especially the so-called sun god Fars appeared in Ifa City at this time, what is its purpose.

In an hour's time, Ye Qing and Mu Huali, who had not gained anything, had to converge in front of Zoroastrian as if they were defeated, as the night deepened, the streets at this time, except for the vicinity of Zoroastrid, which were still brightly lit, the rest of the place was already only heard by dogs, and there were not many people wandering outside.

"In addition to the troops at the gates of the city, there are also troops surrounding this Zoroastrian, and it is impossible to see that this Fars has such a noble status and can let thousands of people accompany him to the city of Efa." Mu Huali, Ye Qing and the rest of the people squatted in a secluded corner of the street and said.

"In Yulongchi, although Fars is not the king of the Khorezmian people, his influence and prestige are no less than their king, so it is understandable that the trip is so grand." Ye Qing smiled bitterly and said.

Because of the language barrier, it was particularly difficult for them to inquire about the face of the sun god even if they wanted to be in a crowded and lively place.

And Ye Qing has never thought of infiltrating the umbrella here, not to mention that he doesn't have such a great ability to penetrate into this place, even the merchants of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce have little to do with here, after all, the goods basically enter Liao or Xiahou, they will change hands, and then through the hands of Xia and Liao, they will be resold to Western countries such as Khorezm.

So in this place, they and Mu Huali and the others are like deaf people, they can only try their luck everywhere.

Seeing that the crowd on the street had not dispersed, although it was not clear what they were talking about, from their tone, they could still feel a trace of regret, but this regret was filled with the sound of horses' hooves, and after the soldiers covered in armor passed by, the faces of the people of Ifa City under the lights were a little more excited.

Hurriedly poked Mu Huali, who was looking around with his eyes, Ye Qing stood up and said, "Dress up neatly, these people seem to be able to enter this Zoroastrianism." ”

While Ye Qing was speaking, the people who had been wandering in front of Zoroastrianism began to spontaneously follow the dust raised by the soldiers who had just passed all the way, and walked towards the gate of Zoroastrianism.

After looking at the robe that was only half a day old, it was already dirty and no longer white, and he still patted the dust on his body vigorously, and then followed the crowd and began to slowly move towards Zoroastrianism.

In July of the first year of Shaoxi, even if it was far west in the Western Regions, it was still a hot summer, and even in the middle of the night, the coolness in the air was extremely stingy.

Ye Qing, Mu Huali and others slowly entered the Zoroastrian range with the crowd under the gaze of the soldiers on both sides, and then listened to the huge squeaking sound in front of them, and the two huge wooden doors of the Zoroastrian hall in front of them were slowly opening at this time.

"Is this a party? What are so many people getting together for? Rituals? Mu Huali muttered and asked.

"I don't know, but since people are the sun gods, these people must be believers, either take the opportunity to visit the great sun god and listen to the teachings of the great sun god, or they are ......." Ye Qing originally wanted to say that these people were probably waiting for tomorrow morning to worship, but after thinking about it, he didn't know if there was such a word, so he simply changed it to: "Either that's what you said, wait for tomorrow morning to do things here." ”

"We need to wait until tomorrow, so why are they here so early?" Mu Huali was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically.

"In this way, they appear pious, and they can secretly confess their sins to their gods at night, so they come early." Ye Qing followed the crowd and finally squeezed into the main hall, and then sat down cross-legged in a not-so-conspicuous corner.

"So what are we doing here? Do you want to pay homage to the great sun god? Mu Huali asked in a low voice, with a hint of a novel smile in his tone.

The only four pro-soldiers left beside the two of them were sitting around Ye Qing and Mu Huali at this time, faintly protecting the two in the middle, making it difficult for others to hear their conversation.

"Don't you think it's strange to investigate all the way?" Ye Qing looked up at the distance in the main hall, although the entire hall was still entering the hall, and the smell became a little unpleasant because of the hot weather, but even so, the entire hall still couldn't hear the noise, and some were only slight footsteps.

"You mean the Khwarazmian battalion?" Mu Huali asked again in a low voice.

"Yes, the difference in numbers is half, and the infantry and cavalry are mixed, every time they invade the Liao Kingdom, it is the scale of tens of thousands of people, and it is not the kind of fierce battle that has to distinguish the winner and loser, every time it is a war with thunder and rain. So I suspect that this is very likely to be a thorn in the coffin of the king of the Southern Courtyard, who has long colluded with the Khorezmian people. The purpose is to contain the forces of the Northern Mansion, so that in the royal city, the Northern Mansion cannot occupy an advantage in terms of the number of troops. Ye Qing thought about it and said.

"Yes...... But if this is the case, Xiao Li's thorn should take advantage of the current lack of troops in Beifu, and he should strike first. Mu Huali also thought so, but he felt that this was relatively unlikely.

That being said, the situation is also a situation in his favor. From the perspective of a military general, in such a favorable situation, it is natural to launch an attack on the enemy. But don't forget...... Xiao Lili is a military general, but he is also a scheming politician, as the so-called upper army to fight, second to fight, second to attack the army, and then to attack the city. In the final analysis, after all, it is necessary to maximize the benefits, not to mention that if he really colludes with the Khorezmian people, then he will inevitably have to pay some price, and the hidden worry is: once the problem is solved by internal strife with the Northern Mansion, it is very likely that they will lose both, thus giving the Khorezmian people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. This can be seen from the fact that the Khorezm people mobilized 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the barracks. Ye Qing also said in a low voice.

"So, Xiao Lili didn't want to lure the wolf into the house, but he had to collude with the Khorezm people to contain the North Mansion, so that he hoped that the Khwarazm people's skirmish would drag down the North Mansion? It's a great idea to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only weaken the forces of Beifu, but also allow the Khorezmian people to lose combat effectiveness ...... the frontier. Mu Huali said with some agreement.

"But it is also possible that after Beifu was defeated by him, the Khorezmians immediately kicked away the oath between them, led their troops to the east, and occupied the territory and cities of the Liao State." Ye Qing smiled and said lightly: "But these are our guesses, whether this is the case, then we have to see if tomorrow morning, the great sun god will appear in this hall, or if it is, will it continue to move east." ”

"Do you suspect that this sun god is secretly colluding with Xiao Li's thorn to make everything?" Mu Huali is often vigilant from time to time, in the brightly lit hall, the sour and sour smell is getting stronger and stronger, there is no way, who makes the entire hall at this time, it is crowded with people, and now it is not easy to find a spacious place to stay.

"The timing of his appearance was so coincidental that I even had some doubts about ......." Ye Qing's brows furrowed slightly, and after looking around, he said, "I even suspect that this great sun god is here for us. If, early tomorrow morning, the Sun God does not stop at the city of Ifah, but chooses to continue eastward, stopping at the city of Keman, which is closest to the camp of the Khorezmians, then it is basically a sign that he is here for us. ”

That is to say...... Before we were stabbed, it is possible that the sun god was informed? So...... Will he cheer on the Khorezmian people in the camp and help us stay here forever? The corners of Mu Huali's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a trace of contempt and disdain.

In his opinion, he did not quite believe that with the army of Khorezmians he had seen along the way, he was capable of defeating their elite cavalry of more than 15,000 people.

"To despise your own enemies is not good for yourself, and Temujin did not teach you? Or have you not suffered a loss on the grassland? Ye Qing looked at the remaining disdain at the corner of Mu Huali's mouth, and then poured a basin of cold water on it and continued: "And I am very suspicious, Xiao Lili has long intended to let us go to the frontier, but he is afraid that we will be suspicious, so he will pretend to be reluctant, so as to make us relax our vigilance...... Don't look at me, Temujin and I had expected this for a long time, but we didn't say it explicitly. ”

In the final analysis, Mu Huali's heart is still loyal to Temujin alone, even if he is now temporarily under Ye Qing's general, but in the end, he still puts the interests of their Tatars and Temujin first.

After hearing Ye Qing say that Temujin knew about this, Mu Huali relaxed and asked, "So, are you planning a plan?" Aren't you afraid that after Xiao Hu stabbed us through his base camp, he immediately transferred the forces of Hala City back to deal with Princess Chengli? ”

Xiao Lili didn't dare to do this, he was now a scheming old fox, and he wouldn't risk tearing Beifu's face head-on if things were not stable and he couldn't be completely sure. So unless we are really defeated by the Khorezmians here, then it is possible for him to mobilize some people to go to the Liao Wangcheng and put pressure on Beifu. After all, he also has to guard against whether the Khwarazmians, who are in full morale, will advance eastward in one fell swoop and plunge into the hinterland of Daliao after we are defeated by the Khorezmians. Ye Qing smiled and said.

Mu Huali nodded silently, compared to fighting, he felt for the first time that the generals like Ye Qing and Xiao Lili had so many things in their minds every day, and they were not at all like them, as long as they thought about how to lead their troops to win the battle.

Everything is true and false, and the truth needs to be carefully peeled back to get a glimpse of it.

All possibilities of success or failure can occur, and they can all be the only reason for their own failure, or the only reason for their victory.

After setting off from Liaowang City, they were also surprised that the king of the Southern Courtyard had agreed so happily, and now it seems that who would have thought that they had taken advantage of the westward expansion was completely a trap, a trap that had been designed by the Xiao Lizi people and the Khorezm people, and they were waiting for them to take the initiative to drill into it.

"If that's the case, then the thorn is simply too cunning, no wonder he can become the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, suppressing the Liao royal family and being unable to move, and has always been at a disadvantage." Mu Huali sighed.

"Therefore, Yelupu is not a simple woman, she can find a chance to fight back under the suppression of such an old and cunning king of the Southern Courtyard, it is enough to see that this woman is more than 10,000 elite soldiers to give Xiao Li a headache." Ye Qin explained the current complicated situation to Mu Huali, and she admired Yelupu more and more in her heart.

Resolute and resolute, with the means that women are best at, the Xiao Li Thorn family was torn apart, as if the Xiao Hu Li Thorn was disintegrated from the inside, so that Xiao Hu Li Thorn now has so much power, and it is impossible to find a suitable heir.

Of course, it has to be said that this is the only way to save the Liao royal family and make Xiao Yu stab in the face of no retreat, and it is also a double-edged sword, which saves the Liao royal family for a while, but it also destroys the foundation of the Liao royal family, thereby accelerating the demise of the Liao royal family.

Ye Qing's thoughts are naturally an afterthought, and only after the incident happened, combined with the process of history, can he see this, and everyone in the game, obviously no one can clearly know the result like him, and then analyze and regret the loneliness of a dynasty in the image of the brick family in the future.

(PS: The map that was set at the beginning,There is no east and east outside the border of Liao,But now it's written here.,So I have to re-sort out some things over there.,Plus there's something to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival.,Strive to start updating more tomorrow.。 I hope someone else will watch it. ）
