Chapter 36 Yan Ran can be destroyed -4
The Murbo tribe suddenly asked Yelu Dashi to send troops to Mobei, and the tent suddenly fell silent. The Liao army on the north and south sides combined with nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses. The generals are convinced, but what His Majesty's horsewhip points to, no matter where it is, the sky is falling apart. It's just that the generals are thinking about the wealth of Shangjing, and Mobei is barren and has nothing to plunder, and most of them are unwilling to expedition to Mobei.
Xiao Yixue, who had just returned to obedience, secretly thought: "The barbarians of Mobei are too ignorant, and when the Jurchens are pacified, they should go to rob the flower world of the Southern Dynasties. He didn't dare to object, but his face showed disapproval. All the generals looked at His Majesty Dashi, and only the sound of breathing of different shades could be heard in the tent.
Yelu Dashi pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Haidu Khan was killed by the Xia people, and this revenge will be avenged. I swore an oath with the Murb people to fulfill my promise. The generals' faces changed slightly, and Tachi and Urgon showed gratitude on their faces, but they heard him say again: "It's just that there are still major things to be done at the moment, one is the henchmen left by the faint king in the country, and they need to be eliminated one by one to avoid future troubles." Then reopen the meeting of the eight tribesmen, and jointly promote the Great Khitan Emperor, and the second is that the Jurchens must be wiped out first for the sake of Liaodong, so as not to suffer from the enemy on their backs. After these two things are understood, I will send troops to Mobei to crusade against the Xia Kingdom, avenge Haidu Khan, and help the Murbo people restore their homeland. ”
Hearing him say this, the expressions on the faces of all the generals relaxed. Yelu Dashi is the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of Liao, although he has a high prestige among the Khitan people, but he is not a close relative of the royal family. And only when Yelu Dashi is the emperor, and the generals who depend on him can justifiably become officials and knights. And after the Jurchens are wiped out, the matter of using troops in Mobei is nothing.
Seeing the disappointment on the faces of Urgon and Tachi, Yelu Dashi smiled again: "I said that I would be rewarded, but I can't be untrustworthy. Then give Tachi the most precious thing. He paused, looked around at the generals, looked at some Tachi Murbo, and smiled: "My daughter Pusuwan, who is six years younger than you, will be married to you when she grows up, so that Yelu and Murbo will be married and reconciled from generation to generation." Would you like it, Tachi Murbo? ”
Tachi was dumbfounded, his face flushed, Yelupu was only a ten-year-old girl now. When Tachi first visited Yelu Dashi's mansion, he had met him once. The little girl with pink makeup and jade makeup called him Brother Tachi in a soft voice. Tachi thought he was an adult, and he was a little reluctant. "Am I going to make a marriage with such a little girl?" Haidu Khan became the leader of the alliance in the northern part of the desert, and when his power was at its peak, he never dared to dream of being able to marry the princess of Liao.
The generals looked at him with envy, and laughed at the small room Wei Manzi who was stupidly happy. It was Urgon who hurriedly pulled Tachi to his knees and thanked him. Yelu Dashi must be the emperor of Liao, and his daughter is the princess of Liao. It's a rare honor. The marriage between the two sides, in every way, was a great boost to the Mlb tribe. On the other hand, Tachi became the concubine of the Great Liao Kingdom, and it would naturally be much easier to avenge the Murbo tribe in the future. In the steppe tribes, the son-in-law of the patriarch is extremely powerful, not only has his own cronies, but also has outstanding talents and can even affect the rise and fall of the entire tribe.
Yelu Dashi smiled and raised his hand to let them up. The Erbo tribe and the Khitan people are of the same origin, and they are all descendants of green cattle and white horses. He took a fancy to the ability of the Murb elite soldiers to fight, and wanted to subdue them. On the other hand, Tachi was the head of the tribe appointed by Haidu Khan during his lifetime, and he was a rare warrior with a simple mind and no vices. During this time, he observed carefully, and this son was quick to react and was worthy of creation. He would rather marry his daughter to such a warrior. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ta Chi, the heir of Haidu Khan, was recruited as a concubine, just to further attract the Murbo tribe to serve the Khitan.
After that, a banquet was set up in the camp to celebrate the great victory, and one after another big dishes were served, such as roast mutton, roasted pheasant, preserved venison, smoked hare, stewed roe deer with Uighur beans, boiled beef and horse liver in salt and brine, swan roasted with onion and garlic, roasted wild geese, and the table was covered with silver plates and wooden plates. In the wooden plates, fried snacks and crisp cheese are piled up like a small mountain, and the maids continue to add strong milk tea and yogurt tea to the generals. There are also slaves carrying a huge four-legged square tripod, the charcoal is piled up at the bottom and burned red, and the pot is boiled with pig's head, goose head and elbow and hoof, etc., and the maidservants around the fang ding put the scalded meat on the plate and present it to the Khitan generals around it.
The brutality of the people in the northern part of the desert has not been eliminated, Urgon and Ta Chimian each put a plate of raw lamb legs, cut off pieces of raw meat with a knife, and put fresh deer blood, ginger, onions, leeks, etc. into their mouths, and their mouths were full of blood foam. Seeing that the big dings of the shabu shabu were more than 1,000 catties, "This pot of roast meat is so big." Urgon exclaimed, and couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the Khitans.
"This is what I came from Bianliang in the south from the south of the dynasty Taizu, and it was abandoned in Youzhou because it was inconvenient to move." Yelu Yanshan next to him explained with a smile. He glanced at the smiling and smiling Jerod stone above. Obtained from the weakened Southern Dynasty temple of the Zong Temple, the successive Youzhou guards also respectfully placed it in the left-behind mansion, only His Majesty Dashi was proud of the world, brought it to the army, and used it to reward the generals with shabu meat.
"I see." Urgon nodded, a look of envy in his eyes, "Enough to build hundreds of scimitars." He picked up a piece of raw lamb with his sharp knife and swallowed it with the blood. Yelu Yanshan's eyes flashed, he patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "There are many such things as the Southern Dynasty." Countless slaves and treasures, just waiting for the sword of the mighty to reap. The two generals touched the wine glasses, raised their necks and drank it, drunken, and sang the song of hunting yellow sheep together.
At this time, the musicians in the tent played music together, and the pipa, bismuth, and piccolo sang in unison cheerfully and melodiously. Yelu Yanshan led the singing of "Haidongqing catches the swan", a song widely sung among the tribes of the Northland, and Urgon clapped his hands in harmony, and all the generals sang while slapping on the table. As soon as the song started, a group of Khitan girls sang and danced in the tent, all of them were delicate and charming, with their toes spinning and their skirts fluttering. The slender waist turned, and the beautiful eyes flowed in anticipation, and all the generals gave their souls and left the table one after another, singing and dancing with these girls. Occasionally, he raised a glass and shouted, and the atmosphere in the banquet was lively to the extreme.
Tachi Murbo was also dazzled. At this time, many generals caught the girl in their arms and wantonly intimated. Yelu Dashi did not allow the Khitan generals to take the Han people as wives and concubines, but encouraged them to have more Khitan women and widely keep their children. If these girls become the concubines of these Khitan generals, the whole family will be wiped out. All of them are very obedient, some are blushing, some are slightly closed, and some are smiling and frolicking with the generals. Yelu Dashi did not think it was angry when he sat down, but laughed loudly. Tachi Murbo didn't dare to make a mistake, thinking that he was going to marry a Khitan princess, he didn't know whether he was drunk or ashamed, and his face was flushed. His every move fell in Yelu Dashi's eyes, and Yelu Dashi nodded slightly in his heart.
The congregations will celebrate the victory and exhort each other to drink. The Khitans and the Murwei people were greedy for a cup of good wine, and at this moment they were drunk one by one, and the generals took up their wine glasses one after another, and congratulated Yelu Dashi and Urgon and Ta Equator, and even poured Tachi and Urgon to the ground. Only Yelu Dashi put the wine glass on his lips every time, and the generals did not dare to be strong.
Seeing that all the generals were staggering, Yelu Dashi picked up the wine glass, quietly got up and came outside the tent. I saw that the henchman Yelu Tiege's golden armor had not taken off, and in the cold wind howling, he pressed the waist knife in his hand, his face was solemn, and he was meticulously guarding outside the tent. Yelu Dashi's heart was moved, and he stepped forward, Yelu Tiege heard the footsteps, and looked back to see that His Majesty had personally come out of the account, and immediately saluted, and the iron armor made a crisp sound. Yelu Dashi handed him the wine glass and said with a smile: "Drink it to warm your body, my most loyal subordinate." ”
Brother Yelu Tiege drank all the wine and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" He said this loudly.
Yelu Dashi looked back at the intertwined figures in the tent and sighed, "With you, I and the others can have a happy end." Yelu Tiege wanted to speak again and again, hesitated again and again, and finally said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty really wants to convene an eight-ministry conference to elect the emperor?" In the opinion of the last general, His Majesty's prestige is unmatched, as long as the whole army unanimously supports it, why bother to look at the eyes of those old and noble people? He kept these words in his heart for a long time, and at this moment, except for the cold wind howling, there was no one else around the two monarchs and ministers, so he gave advice.
Yelu Dashi was stunned for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "I have always known your loyalty. Seeing Yelu Tiege's expression of gratitude, he sighed, "I am the emperor, not for myself, but for the future of the Khitans, so it is up to the people of the eight tribes to decide." He paused, and then added, "An arrow can easily break a child, but a bundle of arrows can not even be done by a strong man." In the past, it was only because the emperors of the previous dynasties abused their power and overstepped the eight tribesmen, so my Khitan people fell apart, not only blocked by the Southern Dynasties, but also the small Jurchen tribe, which could not be pacified. The meeting of the eight tribesmen was held, firstly, to gather the hearts of all the Khitan tribesmen, and secondly, to prevent the perverse behavior of a faint monarch like Yelu Yanxi in the future, so that all the clansmen could restrain him. He looked at the sparkling starry sky in the distance, and said slowly, "Life is only a hundred years in the world, if the true destiny of heaven is in my Khitan, let the eight tribes work together to revive the Khitan." Whether I, Yelu Dashi, can sit in this position as an emperor, it is insignificant. ”
There was a faint loneliness in his words, and there was boundless pride, which made Yelu Tiege's blood boil, and he immediately said loudly: "It is Your Majesty who can revive the great cause of Khitan." Who dares to obstruct him, my Tie Ge recognizes him, but the knife doesn't recognize him! "In the hearts of Yelu Tiege and many Khitan people, those so-called highly respected Khitan clans are just the dregs of a hundred years of decay. And Jerod will lead them to sweep away the dregs.
The news of the end of the Liao Civil War soon spread to Dunhuang, and the royal family and the five governments continued to pay attention to the situation in the Liao State. The Military Intelligence Department estimated that Yelu Dashi wanted to integrate the forces within the Liao State and put down the rebellion of the Jurchen Kingdom in the east, and he was unable to look west for a while. At present, the remnants of Haidu Khan, who have been defeated, under the leadership of his son Bo Shenghuo, have been harassing the newly harvested grasslands in the southeast of Xiaohai, causing the new tribe to show some signs of instability. The Anbei Military Division planned to send troops in the summer to expel the horse thieves.
The waves caused by the changes in the situation in Liao were far less shocking than Zhao Xingde's shock when he saw a row of copper cannons displayed on the school parade.
Wang Tongdeng exaggerated exclaimed, "What a valuable big guy." "Thirty bronze cannons, of which twelve were of a three-inch caliber and eighteen were of a four-inch caliber. Each three-inch cannon weighed more than 1,400 catties, and each four-inch cannon weighed more than 2,000 catties. In order to allow the artillery battalion to keep up with the marching column as much as possible, Xia Guo equipped each artillery with one gun car, two ammunition trucks, plus vehicles for transporting grain, grass and baggage, and the average number of towed horses for one gun in the artillery battalion reached fifteen. In addition, there were gunners' mounted horses.
Seeing the herd of horses in the artillery battalion, Wang Tongdeng exclaimed loudly again: "If you want to use so many horses, it is better to form a cavalry!" With just one impact, I can wipe out all the enemy soldiers! ”
