Liaodong Yingzhou, Longcheng.

Khitan Khan Li Huaixiu and Xi Khan Li Yanpet hid in the hall full of carbon fire, drinking warm Zhongshan brew, smelling the aroma of wine that filled the hall, and had the feeling of being drunk and dreaming of death.

"I can't bear to leave!" Li Huaixiu looked at the beautiful house reluctantly and sighed.

Li Yanpet also looked reluctant.

The Khitan and Xi people both belong to the Donghu lineage, and the Xi people are distributed in the vicinity of Xiaoshui Prefecture, Qili Prefecture, Luogui Prefecture, Tailu Prefecture, and Qiye Prefecture, that is, the area of Jilin, Inner Mongolia in later generations. The Khitan is located in the Xilamulun River Basin, nomadic in the western Liaoning region, and the tribes usually follow the water and grass to raise animal husbandry and the Xi people are close neighbors.

Since Wu Zetian was in power, he cut off dissident ministers and kings of the Tang clan internally, and killed outstanding generals such as Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, and Heizhi Changzhi, which weakened the combat capability of the imperial court and caused turmoil in the country's political situation. The lack of effective control over the outside world led to many foreign tribes who were dependent on the Tang Dynasty and became enemies of the imperial court.

The Xi people and the Khitan took advantage of the situation to seize Liaodong and take Liaodong as their own.

In order to resist the Tang Dynasty, they twisted into a rope under pressure, and the two clans intermarried with each other, one prospering and the other losing, as close as a family.

Since Pei Min destroyed the Eastern Turks, the Xi and Khitan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty together.

Li Longji also gave the surname Li to the khans of the two clans in a timely manner to show his attention.

The Tang Dynasty has always regarded itself as the Heavenly Khan since Li Shimin.

Even Zhongzong Li Xian, whose ability level is at the sewer level, has the name of Heavenly Khan.

It is a customary feature for the foreign tribes to fight together with the order, and Zhang Shouqi and An Lushan have been in Youzhou and Liaodong for many years, and they have also led the soldiers and horses of the Xi and Khitan to fight many times.

An Lushan himself has Hu blood, and is more intimate with Li Huaixiu and Li Yanchong, and they become brothers with each other.

This time, An Lushan went south, and the Xi people and Khitan contributed a lot.

As a price, an Lushan in eastern Liaodong was ceded to the Xi people and the Khitan.

Since the Xi and Khitan seized Liaodong in the past year, they regarded Liaodong as their own inherent territory.

In fact, Liaodong in this era was not rich, but compared with the bitter cold Mengwu Murwei, Liaodong was obviously much richer.

Without hesitation, they moved the whole clan to Liaodong and Liaoxi, and lived comfortably on this land.

In their hearts, Liaodong and Liaoxi are their homes where they have lived for decades, Xue Ne was an "invasion" back then, and now Liaodong belongs to the original owner.

In order to protect this homeland, Li Huaixiu and Li Yanpet both gave An Lushan great support.

It's just that they couldn't imagine that An Lushan was so incompetent and so completely defeated.

Not only did they become prisoners, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses they supported did not come back.

Now the Tang army counterattacked Youzhou and approached Yanjing. With the current power of the Tang army, taking Yanjing is Liaodong.

Li Huaixiu and Li Yanpet are very self-aware, and with their current strength, they cannot confront the Tang Dynasty, and they are ready to flee back to their real hometown.

It's just that this person is used to the luxury houses of this Dragon City, and it is really uncomfortable to go back to the extreme north to live in a rough tent.

Li Yanpet suddenly asked, "Big brother, do you say we lost or earned this time?" ”

Li Huaixiu scolded and scolded: "I lost to my grandmother's house, you and I combined a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses to An Lushan's waste, and Liaodong and Liaoxi can only have a population of 100,000 at the top except for useless old things." 100,000 slaves, where can we compare to 30,000 warriors? In short, take everything you can and take it away, and make up for it a little bit. ”

"Report!"

While the two of them were calculating the gains and losses, one of them strode into the temple.

"Khan, a suspicious team has been spotted near White Wolf Mountain." Yelu Dazhen, who served as Yi Li Jin, strode into the hall and frowned as he looked at the drunken two.

Yili Jin is the official name of the Khitan, and before the establishment of the Liao regime, he was the military leader of the Khitan tribes, that is, the king of the Southern Privy Council in later generations, referred to as the king of the Southern Court.

Li Huaixiu and Li Yanpet hit a spirit at the same time, got up and said, "The Tang army is coming?" So fast? ”

Yelu Dazhen shook his head and said: "It's a little weird, they are not Tang Army, nor Han Chinese, it can be seen from their body shapes that they are mostly Turkic, but they don't wear armor, they wear people's clothes, they act mysteriously, they carry extremely heavy luggage, and they sneak like thieves." ”

Li Huaixiu and Li Yanpet glanced at each other.

Li Huaixiu said: "People? In this situation, how can the people have such a battle? It's impossible for a businessman, no matter how greedy a businessman is, he won't do business at such a time? Don't? Do you think it will be An Qingxu? ”

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Li Yanzhong's eyes, and he said: "It is very likely that An Lushan built Xiongwu City near Fanyang, and he stored all the money, food, and ordnance he had stored in it over the years for the rebellion. After An Qingxu ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to empty Xiongwu City and shrink to Yanjing. But you and I both know that An Qingxu's prestige is far inferior to that of his father An Lushan. Moreover, the commander of the Tang Army was a powerful figure, he did not give An Qingxu a chance to sit on the throne, and directly came to the city. Even if Yanjing City is strong, An Qingxu can't support it for long in this situation. If I were him, instead of living and dying with Yanjing, it would be better to live the rest of my life with the wealth that An Lushan has accumulated over the years. ”

Li Huaixiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "You say, how much wealth has An Lushan gathered over the years?" ”

A flash of greed flashed in Li Yanpet's eyes, and he said: "God knows, he controls the Liaodong Trade Road, how much treasure does this Changbai Mountain have?" Who would dare not give him filial piety to the black and white merchants who came and went? I heard that he himself even asked people to form a caravan to collect ginseng and mink skins and transport them to Chang'an and Luoyang for sale. ”

Almost without superfluous consideration, Li Huaixiu said: "Yi Lijian, you immediately mobilize soldiers and horses, An Lushan is my brother, this brother's son is in trouble, how can there be a reason not to send troops to help." ”

Li Yanpet grinned and said, "What the eldest brother said is too right, it is too unsafe for him to carry so much wealth, so let's keep it for him." ”

The two of them were lazily drinking, but they instantly came to their senses, and walked out of the main hall together to mobilize soldiers and horses.

White Wolf Mountain!

Guo Ziyi stood in front of a stone tablet that had been destroyed by wind and frost, and said with a smile: "Do you know what kind of tablet this is?" ”

Seeing the group of big bosses behind him with a blank face, he replied to himself: "It is the stone tablet of Zhang Liao's devastation, which has long been weathered. In the past, Wuhuan of the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi and Youbeiping formed a powerful tribal alliance, and occupied the area of Liaodong and Liaoxi with Liucheng, which is now Longcheng, as the center, and was known as Wuhuan of the three counties in history. Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's plan and attacked Wuhuan by surprise. The ghost genius Guo Jia seeks victory in danger. Cao Cao's chances of winning this battle were actually not great, and the morale of the army was shaken. It was Zhang Liao who stood up, swallowed mountains and rivers, was brave and fearless, slashed in battle, and won full merit. A hundred years ago, it was the cemetery of Wuhuan, and today history repeats itself, and it will be the burial place of the Xi people and Khitan. Ladies and gentlemen, let me send them on their last journey! ”
