Chapter 579: The Eagle and the King of the North

A person who is bent on dying is probably because he is helpless!

Yeluren first sought death, because of fate, and it was time for him to sacrifice his life for the country......

Yelu Hongji is looking for death, maybe the reason is much more complicated, it's not that his brain is chaotic, but he knows better than anyone else in his heart that the country of Khitan iron, the country of vast thousands of miles, the country of unyielding efforts of his ancestors after two or three hundred years, is in his hands, gone, it is really gone.

When the Khitan people came down from the Great Xing'an Mountains, they were still a small tribe of Ru Mao drinking blood, struggling to survive in the grasslands and mountains and forests, at that time it was still the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the Turks, and slowly had a foundation and power step by step, until Yelu Abaoji was a generation of male masters, fought Murowei, defeated the Tang Dynasty, between Zhou Xuan and Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, conquered the grassland, built Shangjing, ascended the throne and called the emperor, and saw the rites and iron Khitan.

It was also Yelu Abaoji who established the first Confucian temple in Shangjing, the grassland land, and began to worship Confucius, build a Taoist temple, and build a monk temple.

Since then, the Khitan has been thinking about cultivating Chinese cultural relics and becoming a civilized country.

It has been one hundred and sixty or seventy years since the rise of Yelu Abaoji, and if it is from the beginning of the rise of the Khitan people to the present, it will be two or three hundred years.

The Khitans, with their own pride, have long felt that they have already reached the center of this world, and have become the center of this world, at least half of the center of this world, and have become the elder brothers of the Great Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, and the Han people have also become his people.

Yeluhongki, now that he has buried all this, he can't go back, he tried his best. The Liao State has now learned everything from the Han people, and even copied the court system of the Han people, more than a hundred years ago, they fought the grass valley and plundered the "two-legged sheep", in that chaotic era of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Today's Liao State has treated the Han people very well, and benevolence for the people has long become the purpose of several generations of emperors. Even "compared" with the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty who was more benevolent and who loved the people more like sons, and also respected emperors like Renzong. During the New Year's holidays, the emperor's birthday, and the happy events of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State will send people to congratulate them.

Even when the Liao and Song dynasties were destroyed, the emperors of the two countries were so similar, Yelu Yanxi and Huizong Zhao Ji were so consistent, and they were so stupid.

The Great War, Epilogue.

At the end, no matter how firm the will is, it has become a thousand miles.

The mountains are all over the wilderness, and they are all people and horses.

Gan Qi sat on the battlement, not even the strength to laugh, just reclined, tired and relaxed.

The Song soldiers who could get on the horse were all on the horse, and those who had the strength to pursue were all in pursuit.

For the Liao army, whether you can run or not, how to run, is a run.

The Liao army in the south, who realized it later, saw that it was really about to climb the city wall, but it was suddenly blocked by the infantry of the Wansheng army that rushed out from both sides, and they were blocked under the city wall, in a dilemma.

Victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion, but the fight continues.

The brave Song soldiers fell in love with the heads on the necks of the Liao people, each of which represented an acre of land.

The brave Liao soldiers tried every means to break through the siege and walk quickly, and they also knew that the Song people could not really surround them to death on the spot, and there was always a way to escape.

Gan Xianggong was drinking water, eating bread, and ordered everyone to start hanging the cannon down the city wall again, he also wanted to go out of Datong, he wanted everyone on the grassland to know that the Great Song Gan Xianggong beat the Liao people to lose their armor and flee.

This is very important, and it is also the last resort to draw salary.

As long as the people of the grassland know that the Song people beat the Khitans to the point that they lost their armor, the Liao people will no longer have power in the grassland, and without the grassland, the Khitans will really only have one or two million people left, plus some cities north of Yanyun, and the territory of the Liao people will be so small that it is only in the northeast.

Gan Qi will rob and rob the last bit of the Liao people's heritage, the last foundation of the rise of the country for more than 100 years.

However, these things will have to be talked about in two days, so that the army can rest completely, and what is in front of them is to cover up and pursue, kill as many as they can, and chase a few and chase a few.

There are still 80,000 or 90,000 strong men from various parts of the grassland in the camp of the Liao people, and these people really have to think about how to deal with it.

Are they all killed?

This is not a good option, after all, the Liao State is still there, if you really kill all the strong men in the grassland, then the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, wouldn't they be allowed to be used by the Khitans?

How do you keep it?

How easy to put back on the grassland? It's too cheap for these grassland people to come, and maybe one day when the swords and soldiers meet, it will be a big trouble.

If you don't put it back, there won't be much self-defense force in the grasslands, and the old and weak women, children, and livestock on the grasslands are not the things of the Khitans?

Gan Qi sat on the battlement of the city wall and thought for a while, and finally came up with a good way, temporarily incorporated into his command, and used to fight the Khitans, wouldn't it be useful? Even under Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty, there were Mongolian Duoyan Sanwei to serve him, and he could use it, but Duoyan Sanwei later rebelled, so that Zhu Di could fight easily, and his son and grandson continued to fight, which was also a problem.

In the past, there were only about a thousand Jurchen aliens under Ganqi's command, and later some were added, but he never thought that using too many foreign races would cause problems.

Now, Gan Qi wants to use more than 80,000 steppe people to fight, so he has to think about what to do in the future.

If you use it, you must use it, and today's grassland people hate the Khitan people, so it will be very useful.

But once it is really used too well, it will also be a big problem, the Tang Dynasty used An Lushan, how easy it is to use, and in the end the country almost died.

Gan Qi came down from the battlement, slowly went down the city, walked while thinking, got on his horse directly, and went out of the city with hundreds of guards.

There is also a big problem, 80,000 grassland people, they have to eat, this pressure is a bit big.

The battle in Nancheng continued, countless Liao people ran all over the mountains, the pursuit in the north also continued, Di Yong and Shi Honglei and the cavalry had disappeared at the end of the field of vision.

The eyes were full of dead and wounded, corpses were all over the field, huge artillery craters were all over the ground, and near the cannon craters, it was difficult to distinguish flesh and blood......

Gan Qi beat the horse and walked forward slowly, walking out of a sense of vicissitudes, and in his sight, it was all cruel and bloody.

In the camp of the Liao people, more than 80,000 grassland people were tied up and tied to the place where the horses were originally encircled.

Gan Qi rode in, inspected for a long time, and did not speak.

A pair of Mu Ne's dull eyes also looked at Gan Qi who was dressed in gold armor, some of whom had seen this gold armor in Datong last time.

It's not that every pair of eyes is dull, some people's eyes reveal some joy, the Liao people are defeated, it seems that some people can be happy, even if they are still lambs to the slaughter.

80,000 people, too many, too many for Ganqi to patrol. 200,000 people, most of the strong men on the grassland, now there are 80,000 left, the others are filled under the Datong city wall, and many people are hung on the flagpole by the Liao people to show the public.

Patrolling around, suddenly a grassland stood up and shouted something.

Gan Ba had already drawn his knife and stepped forward, and Gan Qi opened his mouth: "Let him come over." ”

Ganba carried it over, cut a wool rope, and brought the man closer.

The man said a word, and no one understood.

Ganchi commanded, "Go to the city and find someone who has lost him." ”

Mo Ge lost people, is the last battle of Datong, the tribe that exchanged sheep and Ganqi for strong men, they lived in the northwest of Datong, many of the Mo Ge lost people can understand Chinese, Gan Qi also did some grassland weapons business through the Mo Ge lost people before, used to support the war between the barbarians and the Khitans.

Gan Qi continued to make his rounds, and the Murphy disappeared, and the language was understood.

Ganchi dismounted, sat down on a chair, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man was not young, and he knelt on the ground and replied, "The villain Zariha, the leader of the Damiri tribe." ”

Ganchi thought for a moment, "I should have heard of you, Damiri, then you should have seen me too." ”

"The villain has seen Xianggong from afar." At the beginning, outside of Datong, the person who consulted with Naiban Woli and left was the leader of this Damiri tribe, Zarihe. At the beginning, the nest really scolded Zalihe for being the shepherd dog of the Khitan people.

Gan Qi didn't know the details of the various tribes of the grassland before, but after the last battle of Datong, he knew a lot, and he could remember some of the main tribes that participated in the war, Naiman, Damiri, Dadan Jiubu, Heichezi Murowei, and Chazara......

So he also knew the details of many things, Gan Qi smiled and said: "You ran with the barbarians, and in the end the Khitans beat the barbarians, why are you under the command of the Khitans?" Did you not have a covenant when you went out into battle? ”

Yi Ganqi thought about it, since he decided to rebel against the Khitans and run away, there must be an offensive and defensive alliance, and the barbarians should have many allies, how did it end up, the Khitan army of 100,000 marched west to the grassland, and there were still 100,000 main forces after returning? There are many allies of the Nai barbarians, and they did not cause a single loss to the Liao?

Zarihe could hear the translation, and his face became embarrassed.

Gan Qi understood, no wonder, no wonder after the Turks, the natives of the steppe could only be slaves to others forever, no wonder a Great Khing'an Mountains abused the steppe people over and over again. This Nima is more scattered than loose sand, the Khitan abused the Jurchens, the Jurchens abused Temujin, Temujin abused the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty couldn't abuse, and the Manchus went to abuse again.

This Nima, the! Deserve! I don't know what perfidy is.

Gan Qi spoke again: "I, the Liao people, will you go with me?" ”

This is a vain question, is it up to Zarihe to decide whether to go or not?

What else can Zarihe do except nod his head again and again? Maybe there's a little bit of joy, at least knowing that you won't die.

"Go and get all the chiefs." Ganchi commanded.

Zari farts and to do it.

The last time they went out with the Liao, these leaders were all generals, and the Liaos treated them well and treated them with great courtesy. On this expedition, these leaders were tied to the crowd one by one.

When the steppe was mentioned in later generations, it was the Xiongnu Turkic Mongolia, but the real grassland that Ganqi saw, the Xiongnu and the Turks, had long disappeared in the long river of history, and the predecessor of the word Mongolia, "Mengwu Murwei", had not really risen, let alone Temujin.

The grassland Gan Qi saw was really a little disappointing.

"The supreme minister of the Great Song Dynasty, this is Torta, the eagle of the enemy martyrdom ......"

As soon as the interpreter said this, Gan Qi had already raised his hand and waved: "Next." ”

Still eagles, the Liao people controlled the eight divisions of the enemy martyrs to the death, and also specially established the enemy martyrs unified military division to rule the enemy martyrs, a few Khitan officials can scare the eagles of the enemy to the point that their legs are weak, and now they are talking about the eagles and tigers in front of Gan Qi, isn't it ridiculous?

"This is Kanchi, the lord of the Chazarat tribe, the king of the northern realm of the steppe."

Gan Qi scratched his head, the term King of the North sounded a little familiar, Gan Qi didn't bother to listen, waved his hand, and asked, "Can you still fight?" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, yes!"

The old men nodded again and again.

"The men and horses of each tribe belong to their own tribes, there are swords and guns, horses and grain, and those who have made meritorious deeds can return to the grassland, and those who have lost battles will be rewarded by the tribe to those who have made meritorious deeds. Do you understand? "This is Ganqi's ruthlessness, raising dogs, you must not raise dogs into wolves, score and rule, you have to let dogs eat dogs, you have to let dogs compete with dogs, and even make enemies with each other.

If you want a dog to eat a dog, you have to hit one, reward one, and go back and reward the one that hits, and the one that is rewarded.

and has to be confused from time to time, so that some dog treacherous schemes can succeed and let him offend everyone. Sober up from time to time, fair and just, so that all dogs have to do everything in their power to please their owners.

Gotta bite it out. If you don't know what it means to be an offensive and defensive alliance, you have to use all kinds of treachery to continue to treat them, to cure them to death, and to hate each other forever.

We can't let some dogs dominate, and whoever is dominant will have to be cured.

Looking at the people in front of him who bowed their heads and nodded repeatedly, Gan Qi said again: "Now that you are fighting the Khitans, I think you also hate the Khitans." Whoever dares to flee is the enemy of all. It is also the enemy of my Great Song Dynasty, the escapee from the battle, and the slaughter of a clan! ”

The faces of the people were terrified.

"Don't worry, we have a deep blood feud with the Khitans, as long as we fight the Khitans, we will not dare to escape."

"Xianggong, you are our great benefactor, save us from fire and water, we will definitely repay you."

"We are willing to respect the prime minister as the Khan of Heaven, the Khan of all the tribes in the world!"

Gan Qi waved his hand again and again: "Nonsense, only His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can be called the Khan of the Heavens." ”

"Yes, yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is the Heavenly Khan!"

Gan Qi looked at these people who seemed to be subservient to him, and he was also thinking in his heart, wondering what was going on in the hearts of these people.

Just out of the wolf's mouth, and into the tiger's den, how difficult it is to be born as a human being.

The Khitans suppressed them with might, and now Gan Qi still has to use this trick, but Gan Qi should be more ruthless and clever than the Khitans. Among them, the strategy has to be thought about and pondered all the time.

"Gather your men and set up camp." Ganchi got up, got on his horse, and turned to go. I don't care much about the tens of thousands of people who are tied up, I don't even care about eating for the time being, and there are still sheep running all over the mountains.

Near Datong, the Liao people who could run had already run almost, but at this time they fell into a strange calm, but from time to time there were one or two dying sorrowful screams.

Gan Qi entered Datong City, stood at the battlement of the city tower, and watched the soldiers who pursued the Liao people slowly turn back.

It's dark, and people are tired.
