Chapter 701: The Situation in the Grassland

"General, all the way to the Volcano Army in Xianzhou, in fact, they are all frontiers, most of the people here are self-preservation, and the imperial court will also appoint some Zhizhai as the location of the town guard, and the front is Honggu Village, which is already within the scope of the Lan Army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gao Pet pointed to the big village not far in front of him and said.

"That's Xu Ning's scope." Li Jing's face moved after hearing this, and Xu Ning, the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Army, was assigned to lead the Lan Army, with no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, sitting in the Lan Army.

"Yes, huh!" Gao Pet was about to say something, but suddenly found something, and his face suddenly showed a strange look.

Li Jing also noticed a hint of a scene, next to the mountain road, there were several horsemen standing there quietly, but the person at the head was wearing a white cloak, but the costume was the costume of a Khitan woman, the clothes were extremely ordinary, the only jewelry was the amber Yingluo on the chest, not Pu Suwan and who it was, behind her, Xu Ning was wearing fiery red armor, holding a silver spear, leading dozens of guards, and there was a wry smile on her face.

Li Jing was slightly excited in his heart, gently knocked his war horse forward, nodded at Xu Ning, and then said to Pu Suwan: "Why did you come to the Lan Army?" Why is there no news at all. "In the end, he went to Liao to make trouble, after Li Jing invited Pu Suwan once, he saw that the other party did not respond, and it was not easy to force it, so he gave up the decision to invite Pu Suwan, but what he didn't expect was that Pu Suwan was actually waiting for him in front, and it was impossible to say in his heart that he was not moved at all.

"The general is going to the grassland as a guest, if the little woman doesn't accompany her, won't it seem that I, a Khitan, am not hospitable?" Pu Suwan said with a smile on his pony whip, and between that smile, it was like a small flower in the mountains suddenly blooming.

"Thank you." Li Jing looked at her deeply.

"Humph!" After hearing this, Pu Suwan snorted coldly, and rode into the crowd on a war horse, followed by two maids.

"General, there are already 2,700 guards passing through Honggu Village in the past two days, and none of them have been left behind, and the last group of men and horses set off through Honggu Village yesterday." After Pu Su finished leaving, Xu Ning hurriedly reported.

"That's very good." Li Jing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this kind of long-distance march, the most afraid is that his men and horses will fall behind, Li Jing's 3,000 men and horses themselves are very few, if they fall behind again, if they want to make trouble on the grassland, it is almost impossible.

"General, is there a little less than 3,000 men?" Xu Ning looked at Li Jing with some embarrassment, but he jumped to try.

"Three thousand men and horses are a little less, but I entered the grassland not to unify the grassland, but to want to wreak havoc on the grassland, seize the war horse and population, counterattack Yunzhou, and unify the grassland." Li Jing shook his head and said: "Don't do much, as long as you have tens of thousands of cavalry in your hands, within a year, I will definitely counterattack Yunzhou, when the time comes, you people will be of great use, General Xu, within a year, your Lan army will not only cooperate with the Tuntian envoy to do a good job in land reform, but more importantly, to strengthen their own strength, when I attack Yunzhou, tens of thousands of troops on your side will enter Yunzhou from the south, and quickly seize everything in Yunzhou." ”

"Don't worry, the general will never let the general down." After hearing this, Xu Ning's blood was surging, such a thing as seizing Yunzhou, what the Han people have dreamed of for more than 100 years, but the court is cowardly, and it is only today that Li Jing launched this war, and the generals are eager to attack Yunzhou now.

"Very good, rest in front for a while, leave here immediately, Xu Ning, the news that I came here can't be leaked." Li Jing said seriously.

"Don't worry, the frontier is originally sparsely populated, even if it is strong, there are not many, and I dare not be the enemy of my northern army, don't say that the general is dressed like this, even if he comes with the general's guard of honor, he doesn't dare to say anything nonsense." Xu Ning said loudly. The frontier has always been an uncivilized land, relatively sparsely populated, with a lot of land, and if it is not for insecurity, many landless people are willing to come to the frontier.

"That's very good." Li Jing nodded, and the cavalry swept away, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust, and disappeared without a trace.

In August of the second year of Xuanhe, after meeting with 3,000 elite guards, Li Jing's army finally entered the grassland, which did not belong to Yunzhou, and under the leadership of the locals, Li Jing and others rushed into the grassland through the gap in the Great Wall. Li Jing did not stay in the grassland, but continued to go in the northwest direction, so that the originally calm grassland gradually fell into a state of killing, blood flowed on the green grassland, and all the tribes in the western part of the Liao Kingdom fell into a state of rumors.

In Taiyuan Mansion, Li Jing's departure suddenly caused a big wave in Xuanyuan, and the Qilin Pavilion headed by Zhao Ding began to deal with the matter of Hedong Road, so that people spread the news that Li Jing was preparing to recover Yunzhou, and claimed that Li Jing was training troops in Yanmen Pass, and a large number of military supplies and grass were gradually concentrated in Yanmen Pass. All this seems to show that Li Jing is training troops at Yanmen Pass, and the army will enter Yunzhou at any time to recover Yunzhou, and the entire Hedong Road is filled with some murderous atmosphere, in comparison, although Li Han's land reform is in full swing, today there is news about which family to raid, tomorrow there is news about which family Li Han killed, etc., at this time, it is no longer a matter.

"Is it really at Yanmen Pass?" Li Han frowned, during this time, he was always monitoring Li Jing's movements, before he got the exact news of Li Jing, Li Han definitely didn't dare to make any moves, but Li Jing's news was like looking for a needle in a haystack, the only news was that ten days ago, a large group of business travelers entered Yanmen Pass, but it was not a guard, Li Han did not dare to guarantee it.

"My lord, the imperial court has come to the holy decree, saying that it is to let the general be the vanguard to recover Yunzhou." At this time, a housekeeper walked in outside and reported cautiously.

"The Imperial Court has come to the Holy Decree? It's disgusting. When Li Han heard this, his face changed slightly, the imperial court came to the holy decree at this time, which is to formalize some of Li Jing's behaviors, no matter what the situation is on Hedong Road, or with Li Jing as the leader, the imperial court does not dare to do anything to Li Jing at this time, if his own people want something to happen, it will not be tenable in righteousness. Thinking of this, Li Han could only flick the sleeves of his robe and go to the General's Mansion, since the holy decree has arrived and clarified Li Jing's task, the Qilin Pavilion may have to make adjustments to the current situation, and he also believes that Li Jing's position will definitely be exposed today, and he must do a good job of countermeasures.

"Li Jing, where we are now is where Bai Dadan's department is located." Riding on a horse, looking at the vast grassland in front of him, Pu Suwan's face was full of smiles, although it was still relatively hot on the grassland at this time, but when he arrived at the grassland, he was equal to his hometown, and Pu Suwan was very happy in his heart.

"Is the entire Xijing Road living in the Bai Dadan Department?" Li Jing nodded, out of the Great Wall, only to feel the vastness and desolation of the grassland, three thousand elite cavalry appeared on the grassland at this time, and did not cause any ordinary noise, although it was a Song people, but they were wearing the costumes of the Khitan people, although the appearance was a little different, as long as they did not speak, it was difficult to attract the attention of others.

"Yes, there are slightly fewer Khitan people living here, but Xijing Road is our territory after all, compared to Mobei, there are still a lot of Khitan people here, and there are very few people in the northwest." Pu Suwan suddenly thought of something, and his expression was a little depressed.

"You thought of the Divination Department?" Li Jing said suddenly.

Hearing this, Pu Suwan's face changed suddenly, and he sneered: "The general is really a general, I said how could you just lead three thousand cavalry and think about causing trouble in the entire Xijing Road, it turns out that you have already made a calculation." You're trying to take advantage of the damn Diviners. ”

"My Hedong Road business travel in all directions, although many years have passed in the matter of Mogusi, but the impact of the events of the year is too great, I naturally know some, if not, I would not be able to appear on the grassland at this time, you should feel lucky, if I was born ten years earlier, let alone Yunzhou, even if it is Liaoguo, I may not be able to take it down." Now it can only be divided equally with the golden people. Li Jing shook his head and said.

He led 3,000 cavalry into the grassland, not relying on his own bravery, but he had already calculated. The target that can be borrowed is the Northern Blockade Division, which is a relatively powerful ethnic group, distributed on the grassland, starting from the Liao Shengzong Dynasty, when it rebels and when it is subdued, and it is the most difficult tribe in Liao to subdue. In the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, many tribes rebelled. In the struggle against the Khitans, the tribes formed a unified tribal alliance, and Liao had to appoint Mogusi, the largest tribe in the tribe, as ministers. In the seventh year of Yuanyou, because Yelu Lusao Gu mistakenly attacked Mogus, the northern blockade was a "rebellion", and other tribes responded one after another. After eight or nine years of hard fighting, Mogus was captured and killed in the third year of Yuanfu, and the rebellion was suppressed.

However, the struggle of the Northern Blockade tribe has never ended, and it is simply that after the death of Mogusi, the Northern Blockade tribe also fell into chaos, and the Liao State had the mind to deal with the Jin State. The huge North Resistance Bu Department is in a stormy situation at the moment, this is also the power that Li Jing can rely on, although Mogus died in battle, but the combat effectiveness of the North Resistance Bu Department is still very strong, if it can unify the North Resistance Bu Department, it is equivalent to Li Jing pressing a nail on the grassland, enough to sweep the entire Yunzhou.

"Hmph, you are a Han Chinese, the people of the Northern Hindrance Bu Department will not believe in you Han people, even if they believe in you, they only believe in you temporarily, and sooner or later they will betray you." Pu Suwan snorted coldly.

"The reason for the rebellion is also because your emperor persecuted it too much, so such a thing happened. The reason for the betrayal is because your emperor did not give enough things, so it will be so. Li Jing shook his head, no matter how unruly the Northern Blocking Department is, as long as the things given are enough, there will be no possibility of rebellion.

"I hope you have a point." The sarcasm in Pu Suwan's eyes became stronger, she is a grassland person, she naturally knows the characteristics of the grassland people, the grassland is very vast, but there are not many really fat playgrounds, the foundation of the Liao people is the Khitan people, it is impossible to give more grassland to the North Blockade Department, and the development of the North Blockade Department is too fast, and the Khitan people are afraid of it. Even the powerful Liao State couldn't help the north to stop the diviners, and it was even more impossible for a Han man like Li Jing to do it.

"Cousin, what is the relationship between this Bai Dadan and the people of the Northern Resistance Division? If our 3,000 elites help the Northern Blockade people, will it cause the Bai Dadan people to attack? Gao Pet couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Gao Pet, you can think of this to show that you are beyond the scope of an ordinary general's consideration." Li Jing nodded and said: "In fact, because of the Liao people's policy of reducing Ding, all the tribes on the grassland do not have a good impression of the Liao people, and the same is true of this Bai Dadan tribe, although they have a bad relationship with the people of the Northern Hindu tribe, and even have some hatred, but this hatred is compared to the Western Xia and the Liao State, they would rather unite and deal with two powerful countries. ”

Li Jing once saw the map in Taiyuan Mansion, although the map is very simple, but Bai Dadan is located between Xixia and Liao, although on the surface the relationship between Xixia and Liao is not bad, and there is even marriage, but some small actions on the border between the two sides often occur, Bai Dadan has become the target of Western Xia's plunder, wars between the two sides often break out, especially in recent years, Liao's strength has weakened a lot, although Xixia has declined, but the ambition of aggression has not changed much, often harassing Bai Dadan, this is a breakthrough for Li Jing.

"You're taking prey." Pu Suwan was a little shocked this time, he thought that Li Jing just wanted to unite with the people of the Northern Blockade Division, but now it seems that the chess pieces in his hand are not only a person from the Northern Blockade Division, but also a Bai Dadan person. This is probably the reason why he dared to lead three thousand elites into the grassland, and in his heart, he didn't know how many chess pieces were still hidden.

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And this Bai Dadan people are different from other places, the Bai Dadan people are close to the frontier, and the business travels of the Han people often haunt the tribes of the Bai Dadan people, and for the Han people, they are actually very welcome. Li Jing laughed and said, "If I, Li Jing, didn't have a little preparation, would I enter the grassland at this time?" Whether it is the DPRK or Hedong Road, there are many people who want my life, if I am killed casually like this, I am afraid that I Li Jing will not have today. ”

"Hmph, what you said makes sense, I hope your goal can be achieved." After Pu Su finished speaking, she stopped talking, she was faintly worried that Li Jing's arrival would change the situation on the grassland, and the Liao Kingdom, which was originally sunset in the western mountains in the future, would lose more territory this time. It's just that even without her, Li Jing would have come to this day. But despite this, Pu Suwan still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and it was not very comfortable to lead the lover in his heart to attack his motherland. For a moment, she looked at the green grass in the distance, not knowing what to do.
