Further north of Bei'anzhou, deep in the vast prairie.

The rain finally stopped after days, but the sky still didn't clear.

The gloomy weather is like the environment on the prairie at the moment, revealing a layer of breathless depression.

Earlier, Emperor Tianzuo sent Yelu Mage and Yelu Yanguang to lead troops to Yanjing Mansion. Nabei Anzhou was besieged by the Liao army, and the guard division of the guard Taishi Yelu Mago led the troops to sit in the town, and Yelu Yanguang continued to go south, leading tens of thousands of troops, known as 100,000 cavalry, and the troops approached Danzhou.

Of course, the Liao army will not take the chest for the Jurchen fire, whether it is Bei'an Prefecture or Danzhou, they are all just bluffing and never doing real swords and guns.

When the news of Agu's defeat of the Liaohe River reached the prairie, Yelu Yanguang waved his hand, and the person patted his ass and went home.

But the Yanjing army was unwilling. The little Khitan still dares to come and be presumptuous, come when you want, leave when you want, what do you think of here?

Moreover, based on the fact that the overall situation of the war in Liaodong had been decided, Song Jiang and Chao Gai had no worries, and the two began to prepare for revenge.

Hu Yanzhuo led the troops, Shi Wengong was the deputy, Lu Qian saw the joint relationship between Hei Saburo and Chao Gai, and sent Yelu Yu over again. The latter is not Yelu Ma Wu and Yelu Zonglei, Yelu Yu has an unforgettable enmity with Emperor Tianzuo, and he heard that it is such a transfer, and he is willing to serve at the moment.

Hei Saburo and Chao Gai also know who Yelu Yujian is, and the intelligence army is extraordinary, so they are naturally willing to help more.

Chao Gai urged a part of the cavalry in northern Hebei to go north as quickly as possible, contacted the Xuanzan of the Zhenghuang Banner, and even called the blue-faced beasts in the west to cooperate in the battle. The latter was very face-saving, so that Luan Tingyu and Zhe Kecun led the horse army to attack. The two military horses in the west combined with the horse army in the Yanjing Mansion, and the number was enough to have 20,000 horsemen.

The army attacked in three ways, one was the Yanjing Mansion Horse Army, one was the Zhenghuang Banner, and the other was Luan Tingyu and Zhekecun.

The latter two roads are a containment, containing the Udiri and Mogeshu who still exist north of Yinshan, but these are a small number of people, and the real target is the obstruction servant who has already moved south. The obstructing servant is the Murwei people. The latter is of the same vein as the Khitan, with the Khitan in the south and the Murwei in the north. One of the Mongol tribes is the Menggu tribe at this moment, the Mongols who swept Eurasia in history. The Turks called the Murwei as Dadan or Tatar, while the Khitans called them obstruction servants, but they opened up the Murwei network in the northeast and still called them Murwei.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the Uighur Khanate collapsed, most of the Uighurs moved westward, and the northern steppes once again appeared in a vacuum. At this time, the Murwei people in Mobei gradually migrated here to fill a large gap, and after the Khitan conquest of the steppe, some of the Murwei people integrated into the Khitan people. But most of the obstruction servants are still obstruction servants.

The Khitans were wary of their servants, because the latter had a large population, filled the gap of the Uighurs, and had a lot of room to live. used a lot of means to turn the obstruction servants into nine in more than a hundred years. But now the Khitan vitality has been greatly damaged, and its dominance over the western region of Shangjing Province has plummeted. Moreover, after Udiri, Mo Ge and other tribes recognized the true power of the Khitan, they have become increasingly domineering, and Emperor Tianzuo has no way to let the Khitan people under his command give birth to millions of clansmen in a year, and all of them have grown up. In order to balance the increasingly unbalanced internal situation, he could only allow his subordinates to trade privately with Yanjing and Datong Mansion, and even trade in military horses and iron weapons, leaving most of the Zhongjing Province north of Bei'an Prefecture to them, and on the other hand, he introduced obstruction servants to balance the Udiri and Mo Ge Lost Ministries, so as to achieve internal balance.

These tribes are all people who lead the bow, but they are not good at warfare under the suppression of the Khitans for more than a hundred years, and herding sheep and horses is their specialty. And now I want to reverse the style of various ministries, but it is very difficult and difficult. This kind of army, composed of conscripted herdsmen, seems to be quite powerful and large, but its actual combat effectiveness is worrying. Emperor Tianzuo was able to still control the overall situation in such a situation, the internal balance was one, and the few remaining Khitan iron horses in his hands were also an important reason.

After seeing that the overall situation of the Jurchens was irretrievable, Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Mago immediately pulled their legs and went north. The number of the large armies along the way was constantly flowing, but they returned to their homes by the way, and the tribal alliance was naturally disbanded.

Hu Yanzhuo and they took this opportunity to kill, with Yelu Yujian as a guide, the location of the rivers and lakes in the prairie, and even the location of some tribes, the Yanjing army already controlled a lot, and those refugees who fled from the north didn't say anything. For the topography and landforms on the prairie, they don't know everything about it, but they also know everything.

Such an army entered the steppe, which caught those nomadic tribes by surprise. Where did they think that the Han army, which had just died like a turtle, would be killed into the grassland in the blink of an eye? Unsuspecting, several tribes in the south were swept away by the army in a short period of time.

By the time the news reached the ears of Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Margo, both of them had already entered the Shangjing Road. After hearing the news, how could the two continue to return to Linhuang, they hurriedly issued an urgent order, and while gathering people and horses, they quickly rode straight south.

Shi Wengong's martial arts are outstanding, but he is inferior to Hu Yanzhuo in the way of using soldiers, and Yelu Yujian is a good helper, so he will not be unwise enough to fight hard with the Liao army in the south, but rely on Ma Duo, and now he has to have three horses, leading the Liao army to slip up on the prairie.

The prairie in summer is the time when the water and grass are abundant, and you can find food even if you toss it.

But it rained a few days ago, but it caused them to suffer a great deal of sin. Is it covered by a canvas raincoat, and what can be eaten and drunk? I can't eat a mouthful of hot rice and hot water, so I can only nibble on compressed biscuits.

At least it's not raining anymore. Hu Yanzhuo is not happy or worried about this, and it is always a burden to want the soldiers to no longer suffer and the recovery of the Liao army's combat strength.

"Regardless of gender, kill all those who dare to resist, and drive the rest into the horse pen—"

At the foot of Mayu Mountain, by the beautiful lake, the green prairie flows with unstoppable blood.

It seems that it is because of the rain that has just fallen, or it may be because there is too much blood, Hu Yanzhuo always feels that the lake located at the foot of Mayu Mountain is clear and cloudy, and it is particularly beautiful!

Dark clouds set a golden edge. Slowly, slowly. A ray of golden sunlight pierced through the gap in the clouds and shone on the water. The blue water of the lake is sparkling. The earth and the sky were dyed in brilliant colors, and a dazzling rainbow appeared on the horizon.

Yelu Yanguang was a whole day later than Hu Yanzhuo, and when Hu Yanzhuo led the army to kill Ma Yu Mountain, although Yelu Yanguang and Yelu Ma Ge were pale, they still insisted on reorganizing their troops in Dading Mansion in one day. By a series of slips, their horses ran thin. However, the Liao army knew that its real combat strength was weak, and it did not dare to divide its troops to surround it, so it could only follow the Qi army's buttocks, which was really a poor efficiency.

Then, the Liao army continued to chase after Yelu Yanguang to Han'er, who had killed his henchmen.

Yelu Yanguang buried his head in pursuit, looking at the remnants left by the Huyanzhuo army when they marched, and the tribal army in the team looked at them who were already impatient, and the Qi army entered the grassland, and they were the ones who could feel the threat the most.

Just look at how many tribes have been killed in this short period of time? How many tribes have reluctantly migrated north, in this season of abundant water and grass, in this time when cattle, sheep and horses grow fat.

However, it was this day that Hu Yanzhuo kicked out another tribe in Mayu Mountain. This is an ordinary tribe, a small tribe, and it has no resistance in front of tens of thousands of Qi army iron cavalry. After the Qi army had a good meal here, he drew his knife and killed all the cattle and sheep of the tribe in the cries of the men, women and children of the tribe, and then took all the horses away.

Bloodbath, killing!? It's not like this thought hasn't been in Hu Yanzhuo's mind right now. However, the consequences of such a vicious law are serious, first, it will force the people of the grassland to become mortal enemies, leaving behind an indelible hatred. The second is that their enmity against each other is not enough.

The reason why the Qi army was able to deal with the Jurchens was also the Battle of Liaoyang. It's not wrong, after the people were captured, Lu Qian couldn't kill all the Yan Gui generals after he finished it, and killed all the Jurchen soldiers and Bohai people, as well as other people of all ethnic groups with more than fifty masters. It was the battle of Liaoyang that gave him the handle, and the deep hatred was over, and it was logical to kill people again.

But the current Qi army and the Liao people are not like this.

"Report ......" said as the horse flew on.

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes were brewing with "yin poison" and dissipated. Let's save it.

The Liao army chased after him, "Leave the prisoners, let's go." "Cattle, sheep and horses are the economy of the grassland. Take away the horses, kill the cattle and sheep, and the tribe is finished. This is the policy that Hu Yanzhuo has implemented all the way, and it can be said that it has taken away everything from the people in the Central Plains. The latter also has to eat, but the weather is in summer, the climate is already hot, and the dead cattle and sheep do not say how many are left, and no matter how many are left, they can't keep them.

In this way, a tribe is a burden, a heavy burden, which can not only make the Northern Liao suffer, but also cause the internal struggle of the Liao army. This is a tribal alliance.

At present, after such a devastated tribe, only the population remains, and the cattle, sheep and horses are all gone. This burden is a big trouble for small and medium-sized tribes, but for powerful tribes, this is a big fat piece of oily and shiny, and they can't help but fight!

At the sound of an order, ten thousand horses galloped away. Leave a camp full of "oil and water"!

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

The Khitan iron cavalry led by Yelu Yanguang was better, but the leaders and leaders of the tribal cavalry who followed, especially the Taishi, Taibao, Tai Lieutenant, etc., and even the Jiedu envoys and capital eunuchs, looked at the cattle and sheep that were not alive, looked at the camp full of women and children, and couldn't help but let out a long laugh after inquiring clearly.

"Sure enough, sure enough!"

The official positions on the prairie in the north of the Liao State, such as the prime minister, the Taishi, the Taibao, the Taiwei, the Situ and the Jiedu envoy, are very famous but really ordinary. Every palace tent and every tribe has such an administrative system, and there are as many as hundreds of palace tents and tribes under the Liao State. So they really don't deserve to be surprised.

These people look at the devastated tribe as if they see an opportunity to make up for their own losses, and even to make themselves stronger.

Without cattle, sheep and horses, this tribe will be like running out of food, just like the people of the Central Plains have eaten up all the wheat seeds. It's just that the Khitans are now too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the ability to help them? The only way to do that is to divide them among the tribes. Because only these large tribes can afford the living expenses of this population.

This is not only a good opportunity to strengthen their tribe, but also a good opportunity to strengthen themselves. How does this make them not laugh?

The losses caused by the frequent dispatch of troops by the tribe can be fully compensated. That's a good thing.

Many people have forgotten the mission of their trip at this moment. I hope that the Qi army can continue like this, so that they can pick up more bargains. And some small and medium-sized tribes are full of embarrassment and anxiety.

If such a bad fortune were to befall their tribe, it would be a catastrophe. The cunning Han Er picks on small and medium-sized tribes.

At the same time, they also had more dissatisfaction with the big clans, not to mention that they were all from the same line, and even had to obey the same royal court.

The benefits have been eaten by the big tribes, and these small and medium-sized tribes have not reaped any benefits, but they have also contributed troops. How can they be at peace?

Inadvertently, there was already a contradiction between the Liao army, although it was only a seed.
