Chapter 677: Khitan Rilian

The strongest, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Troubled Times!

It's just, with such a heavy snowstorm, who will be in a hurry? And as a chaser, still working so hard?

"Shen Guang, take a few people over to have a look!"

"Yes!"

Shen Guang immediately galloped down the hill, called a few people in the col, and galloped away in the direction from which the horse neighed.

They did not ride horses, but went on foot, leaving footprints on the rain and concrete floors, but they were quickly covered by the wind and rain.

Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu hurriedly descended the hill and gathered men and horses to wait.

About half a pillar of incense passed, and Shen Guang came back with people. He also captured a captive, dressed as a nomadic warrior from the north, but different from the Turks that Wang Junlin had seen.

Zheng Shengqiu's face changed, and he said in Wang Junlin's ear: "Messenger, looking at the dress, it seems that he is a member of the Khitan Rilian Division. ”

The Khitan people are the second largest force in the northern nomadic peoples after the Turks, originated in Northeast China, and are now divided into the Siwandan Division, the He Dahe Division, the Fufuyu Division, the Yuling Division, the Rilian Division, the Piqi Division, the Li Division, and the Tuliu Yu Division, known as the Khitan Eight Divisions, which have a large number of people in the north and northeast, and have occupied many areas in the north since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with numerous tribes and no less than one million people.

Moreover, the Khitans and Turks are different, not all of them are nomadic herders, and some people are farming, fishing and hunting, influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and have a very close relationship with the Han people. More than 30% of the Khitan people who came into contact with the state belonged to the farming Khitans, also known as the herbivorous Khitans. Most of the people lived a nomadic life in the steppes like the Turks. But there are also some people who live in the mountains, also called the mountain Khitan. In short, there are different forms of life, even if Nie Xiaoyu combines historical records and recent collection of various information of this era, he only knows so much about the Khitan.

"What is the origin of this Khitan Rilian people?

"Grandpa, the Khitan Rilian people are located in the south of Huangshui (now Xilamulun River in Inner Mongolia) and north of Huanglong (now Chaoyang, Liaoning). Is a semi-nomadic people. Due to the complex terrain of the territory of the Khitan Rilian people, there are many hills and mountains, so there are many people engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, and their strength is very strong. ”

"How powerful?"

After waking up, Xiao Feng'er, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "There are nearly 200,000 people, and at least 50,000 cavalry can be taken out." ”

"Was there a conflict before the merger?"

Xiao Feng'er also said: "The Rilian Department borders Shanggu County in Bingzhou, and every year if the northern nomads have snow disasters or other disasters and do not have enough food, there will be a number of different people, as many as tens of thousands, and as few as hundreds of Japanese cavalry go south to fight the grass valley. My father had sent men to fight them a few times. But sometimes they win, sometimes we win. ”

When the king heard this, he looked at the captives of the company that day.

But this place is not less than 800 miles away from the Rilianbu, why did the Rilianbu people come over?

"Shen Guang, ask him clearly, why they are and why they are here."

As he spoke, Wang Junlin unfolded the map, looked for it a little, then pointed to the map, and said: "We are in this location now, and this is probably where the Rilian Department is located, so the Khitan Rilian people have come here and have passed through nearly half of the state, how did they come here...... Odd. ”

It's a strange thing indeed!

The grievances between the Khitan Rilian tribe and the military and civilians of Bingzhou are very deep, and after so many years of fighting, they must be unable to resolve them.

At this time, Shen Guang also asked for a confession, came to Wang Junlin with a solemn expression, and whispered, "Grandpa, ask clearly." ”

"What's going on?"

Shen Guang calmed down his emotions and replied, "That guy is really from the Rilian Division, and he is still a chief. He said that there were 500 of them, and they were stationed on the slope of the riverbed in front of them, mainly responsible for delivering grain and grass in the direction of the Shuitou River Valley. ”

"Sending grain and grass?"

Wang Junlin looked down at the map, "Where is the Shuitou River Valley?" ”

Shen Guang immediately searched for it on the map, and after a while, he drew a circle on a black dot and said, "It's here...... Hey, this is the only way for us to get to Hedong County. The guy also said that the grain and grass would be delivered within two days. ”

"How much grain and grass is there?"

Shen Guang said: "According to that guy's confession, it can feed at least 10,000 horses for three days." ”

10,000 horses?

Wang Junlin's expression froze, and Shan Xiongxin, Zheng Shengqiu, Xiao Feng'er and others on the side all changed their faces greatly, and they all showed frightened expressions. 10,000 people, 10,000 people stationed in the Shuitou Valley, how do we get there?

"After the Shuitou River Valley, it is Hedong County." Wang Junlin said with a gloomy face, his first thought was that the people of the Rilian tribe were going to fight Hedong County.

But then I think about it, and it's impossible.

Wang Junlin frowned, pondered for a while, and said in his heart: I am afraid that this is Gao Ying's knife killing, or a plan to drive away the wolf, Gao Ying must have secretly reached a dirty deal with the people of the Khitan Rilian, agreed to a lot of conditions, and then asked the people of the Rilianbu to help them resist the Great Sui soldiers and horses that were about to attack next, and at the same time intercepted and killed Wang Junlin and him by the way.

There is no such thing in history, but at this time in history, Yang Liang is still alive and still in control of the state, so now history has quietly changed because of the appearance of Wang Junlin.

"Grandpa, what should we do?"

Shen Guang's expression was extremely solemn, and he said: "The five hundred cavalry of the Japanese Company Department can come here unimpeded, obviously it is related to Gao Ying, so it just happened to block our way. Moreover, even if we pass, I am afraid that life and death are unpredictable. ”

After a moment of silence, Wang Junlin gritted his teeth and said, "We won't go to Hedong County." ”

"Grandpa doesn't go to Hedong County? We can only take the Flying Fox Trail, but it must have been blocked by those people. ”

"We're not going to the Flying Fox Trail either."

Wang Junlin's hand drew a circle on the map, clenched his fist and slammed it fiercely, "Let's go here." ”

"Huangshui Valley?"

Shen Guang and the others exclaimed in unison, "Grandpa, this is the territory of the Rilian tribe." ”

"It's because of the territory of the Rilianbu people here that we have to go. Gao Ying would never have thought that we would take such a path...... As you said just now, there are very deep grievances between the Japanese company and the military and civilians in Bingzhou, and if they can join forces temporarily, this is naturally the effect of Gao Ying's strong pressure, and the officers and soldiers and people below will definitely be very reluctant. We simply stirred up the hatred between the Japanese company and the army of the state and let them fight again. As soon as the two sides face each other, we have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"This ...... Grandpa is clever! When Shen Guang and the others heard this, they suddenly realized and nodded one after another.

……

……

The wind and rain lasted for most of the day, and in the evening, it gradually weakened, and the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky and the earth became empty again.
