Actually-

The city of Kedun was west of what would later be Ulaanbaatar.

Soon after the Chinese army crossed the desert, Yue Fei sent his eldest son Yue Yun to lead 10,000 back cub troops, and Wang Sheng and Li Yanguang each led 20,000 cavalry to Ulaanbaatar to attack the city of Kedun.

In order to ensure the effect of the surprise attack, all of Yue Fei's cavalry were equipped with one man and two horses.

Yue Fei himself led the remaining troops as the central army and slowly advanced towards Kedun City.

The Chinese army wasted so much effort to cross the desert in order to make a surprise attack on the city of Kedun.

Therefore, how dare Yue Yun, Wang Sheng, and Li Yanguang slack off?

The three of them led 50,000 cavalry to the starry night, came to Ulaanbaatar, and came to the city of Kedun.

The so-called Kotun City is actually an earthen city in disrepair, and its defense capacity is very limited.

But—

Because of the desert as a natural barrier, and because of the tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of war horses in the city of Kedun, the surrounding small tribes did not dare to peep at all.

So, the people of Kedun lived a boring life day after day, year after year.

This kind of boring life will undoubtedly make people become numb and lose their vigilance.

In addition, after the last mutiny, Yelu Shulie and Yelu Enemy Lie were killed by the rebels, and now there are no leaders in the dragons in the city of Kedun, and everyone has to get by.

Therefore, there was no defense in the city of Kedun.

The night in Ulaanbaatar is so quiet and beautiful.

It's a pity -

The 50,000 cavalry led by Yue Yun, Wang Sheng, and Li Yanguang and the muskets they used broke the quiet beauty of the night in Ulaanbaatar.

I won't go into detail about the process.

There is no mental calculation, and it is twice as many as the people in the city of Kedun, and in addition, in terms of weapons, the two sides are very different.

Therefore, there was no suspense at all in this battle - Yue Yun, Wang Sheng, and Li Yanguang attacked Kedun City in one battle, and almost all of them captured the people in Kedun City.

The information sent back by the large and medium-sized spies in Kedun City is not wrong, because of the unique geographical environment of Kedun City and the accumulation of countless years, there are really more than 400,000 war horses here, and all of them are warlike horses.

This made Yue Fei and the others all amazed!

Yue Fei invited Li Xu, the king of Liao, and the people of the former Liao State who were highly respected and attached to Dazhong with an iron heart, and asked them to recruit the people of Keduncheng.

At the beginning, after the Khitan conquered Mobei, the tribes of the group rebelled from time to time, Liao Shengzong then ordered the princess (Qi concubine) to lead Wugu and other troops to the west to pacify, and later built the city of Kedun near the original Uighur royal city, and in the following year set the town (Zhikedun City), Wei, and Fang three states, and transferred more than 20,000 cavalry of the tribes and more than 700 families of Bohai, Jurchen, and Han people, and went to the town of Bitun to defend it, and issued a death order: no matter what the country has reached, the 20,000 cavalry of Kedun City are not allowed to go south.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed.

For more than 100 years, it is said that the people of Kedun City were stationed in Kedun City to guard the frontier for the Liao Dynasty, but it is better to say that they were exiled here.

Moreover, several generations have passed, and those who have feelings for the Liao Dynasty have all passed away, and now the people in Kedun City actually don't have much affection for the Liao Dynasty.

However, the more than 10,000 Khitans brought by Yelu Shulie and Yelu Dilie still have some feelings for the Liao Dynasty, but first, they are few, and second, they died a lot during the last rebellion, and they have become a minority in Kedun City.

Moreover, Yelu Yu Liyan was the last princess of the Liao Dynasty to be officially canonized, and she and Li derived sons were largely recognized by these leaderless Liao, at least to give them an excuse to surrender.

Of course, more of them are still the trend of the times, and they who have become rootless duckweed, if they do not surrender to Dazhong like most Liao people, they are likely to be slaughtered.

All in all, it didn't waste much effort, Yue Fei and others surrendered the remnants of the Liao Dynasty in Kedun City and merged into Kedun City.

Capturing Kedun City was only the first goal of Yue Fei and the others' trip.

Soon, in the name of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Dazhong Empire, Ma Kuo sent invitations to the commanders of the remnant Liao army in the seven military states of Weiwu, Chongde, Huifan, Xin, Dalin, Zihe, and Huo, as well as the leaders of the surrounding small tribes such as Dahuang Murowei, Dira, Wang Jira, Chachira, Yexi, Nose Gude, Nira, Dara, Damili, Mierji, Hezhu, Wuguli, Zubu, Pusuwan, Tanggu, Humusi, Xidi, and Jiaoerbi, inviting them to come to the alliance.

Actually-

Long before coming to the city of Kedun, under the guidance of the people sent by Yelu Dashi, Honglu Temple had already made contact with the remnant commanders of these Liao military prefectures and the leaders of these small tribes, and some of them had even promised to return to Dazhong and respect Li Yan as khan.

For these tribes who had already submitted to Dazhong, Dazhong traded with them at parity, sold them the food and household goods they needed, bought their livestock and furs, and even allowed them to move their tribes to the vicinity of Liaoning and mingle with the Han Chinese there.

In this way, these tribes who have returned to Dazhong have received tangible benefits.

This also made those tribes who were still waiting and watching couldn't help but be moved to surrender.

Therefore, in the name of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Dazhong Empire, Ma Kuo summoned the remnant army commanders of these Liao military prefectures and the leaders of these small tribes to a meeting, and most of them came in a hurry.

And all those who came, the people of Honglu Temple were warmly welcomed, and talked to them one by one about the benefits of returning to Dazhong.

A few months later, the General Assembly was held, chaired by Ma Kuo.

Ma Kuo made an impassioned speech at the conference, saying that during the Tang Dynasty, from the Sea of Japan in the east, to Annam in the south, to the Aral Sea in the west, and to Lake Baikal in the north, all the people in the world were one family, regardless of each other, everyone could trade freely, and the vassals could freely learn advanced culture and systems, and everyone made progress together......

To put it simply, the meaning of Ma Kuo's words is that our Dazhong Dynasty is ready to follow the example of the Tang Dynasty to unify the grassland, so that the grassland will also become a part of our Dazhong Dynasty, and you people had better know each other to be obedient, and if you are obedient, we will trade with you, accept you, and spread advanced culture to you, otherwise, we will send troops to fight you.

After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, due to the limitations of the terrain and the obstruction of the Tatar tribe, the Mongolian tribe, the Kereh tribe, the Naiman tribe, the Wanggu tribe and other large tribes, the power of the Jin Dynasty could not reach the north of Yinshan at all, so that these military states and small tribes that originally belonged to the Liao Dynasty actually became children without mother's care, and their lives were very difficult - they were not only bullied and forcibly annexed by the Tatar tribe, the Mongolian tribe, the Kereh tribe, the Naiman tribe, the Wanggu tribe and other large tribes, but also had no local trade, and their lives were difficult.

Therefore, these military states and small tribes that originally belonged to the Liao Dynasty urgently need to be unified, or find a large dock to rely on, and the prosperous and powerful Dazhong is actually a good choice.

Actually-

Prior to this, these military states and small tribes that originally belonged to the Liao Dynasty also thought of responding to the call of Li Qianshun of Western Xia to unite and confront Dazhong.

However, Li Qianshun had been in charge for several years, and the Dajin Kingdom, which he had tried so hard to promote, failed to annex the surrounding Tatar Tribe, the Mongol Tribe, the Kereh Tribe, the Naiman Tribe, and the Wangu Tribe, let alone accept them, the remnants of the Liao Dynasty in the Mobei region.

What's more critical is that the old emperor of the Dajin Kingdom is dead and Wu begs to die, and the current emperor is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old hairy boy, which does not conform to the image of the Great Khan in the hearts of their steppe people, and correspondingly, Li Yan, who is forty-four or five years old this year and unified the Central Plains Dynasty in the south and the north, is more in line with the image of the Great Khan in the hearts of their steppe people.

Moreover, although the relationship with the Liao Dynasty is actually very weak, they still hate the Jurchens who destroyed the Liao Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, Dazhong sent troops to the grassland, and sent 100,000 troops to Kedun City at one time, so that these military states and small tribes that originally belonged to the Liao Dynasty were surrendered one after another.

Of course, there are also those that are not eye-opening.

Yue Fei was not polite to these blind people, and immediately united those tribes who had already been obedient to send troops to destroy them, and then killed all the men, and distributed their women and livestock to those who were willing to submit.

Now that the Chinese army is equipped with muskets, it is almost invincible in the world, and in addition, there are many women's tribes fighting for the tiger, where can those tribes that are not subordinate resist the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese army?

Soon after, Dazhong unified Mobei and restored the old land of the Tang Dynasty, and the sphere of influence of Dazhong and Northern China reached the Baikal region.
