Chapter 702: Bai Dadan
It is only on the grassland that it is possible to be so relaxed, under the clairvoyance, you can clearly see everything in the distance, and know whether the person on the other side is an enemy faster than those steppe people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Bai Dadan is still very kind to the Han people in terms of other shortcomings, which is also because of the relationship between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty for so many years.
"Li Jing, if we don't get grain and grass anymore, I'm afraid our grain and grass won't last long, these war horses are naturally no problem, but we can't do it. The temperature is hot, and the jerky will spoil. Pu Suwan followed Li Jing and said with some worry.
Li Jing's long-distance march this time, the army carried dry noodles and dried meat to maintain the nutritional supply of the army, but these things would be consumed sooner or later, if there was no supply at that time, Li Jing's dispatch of troops this time would have no effect.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 100,000 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu, and 500,000 people were involved in transporting grain and grass, which shows how amazing the grain and grass consumed every day in the grassland.
"Don't worry, sooner or later, someone will send us food and grass." Li Jing frowned and said with a smile: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" It is the place where the Western Xia and the Bai Dadan people meet, the Western Xia people are not honest, you Liao people have declined, he will not let go of this opportunity. ”
"Drive! Drive! At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a group of cavalry roared and stopped in front of Li Jing.
"General, there is a war ahead, it should be the hundred-man team of Western Xia, who is besieging and killing dozens of Bai Dadan." The spy shouted.
"The hundreds? Gao Pet, lead the army, kill the past, let us see if the Western Xia people are as powerful as the legend says. After Li Jing heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, and he said loudly to the high pet on the side.
"Okay." After Gao Zhong heard this, he didn't want to lead a team of 1,000 people to kill him, but Li Jing led everyone to follow, a team of 100 people in Western Xia Li Jing didn't care at all, he was thinking about the Bai Dadan people who were besieged and killed. A person who can walk on the border is not an ordinary person?
When Li Jing arrived, the battle was over, and he saw two people standing next to Gao Chong, a man and a woman, the man was heroic and strong, and the woman was dressed in red, and there was a faint trace of fear on her pretty face.
"General, this is the young patriarch of the Bai Dadan tribe, Tuhuan, and his sister Princess Yinping." Gao Zhong introduced the two and said: "Brother Tuhuan, this is our general Li Jing. ”
"Young Patriarch." Li Jing's eyes lit up, jumped off the horse, and said, "I didn't expect to meet the young patriarch here, Li Jing is deeply honored." ”
"Tuhuan didn't expect to meet the generals of the Song Dynasty here, and the army of the Song Dynasty has not appeared on this land for nearly a hundred years." Tuhuan looked at Li Jing complicatedly, he came here to inspect at the request of his sister, but what he didn't expect was that when he met the army of Western Xia, his army was killed and wounded, if it wasn't for Gao Zhong to lead the army to kill it, I am afraid that his own death will not count, even his sister will suffer a catastrophe. So for Li Jing, he is very grateful.
"You are the general of the Central Plains, I have heard your name." Unexpectedly, Princess Yinping tilted her head to look at Li Jing, and said that she had heard Li Jing's name, which suddenly made him feel surprised.
"Has the princess heard my name?" Li Jing said with a smile.
"The merchants of the Central Plains said that you are strong in martial arts and infinitely powerful. However, now it seems that you seem? Princess Yinping shook her head, revealing a hint of disbelief, but looked at the high pet on the side. said: "This general of yours is not bad at martial arts. ”
"Sister, the general's martial arts are not something you can imagine, otherwise, he would not have led the cavalry here, and without a little bravery, he would never have come to this place." A fine light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Li Jing thoughtfully, and said: "Why did the general appear here, you must know that this place is far away from the frontier of the Song people, and this is the boundary between us and the Western Xia dogs. ”
"The imperial court is about to attack Liao, and I, Li Jing, came to the grassland to find allies." Li Jing said without thinking.
Tuhuan was stunned when he heard this, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this possibility, Li Jing actually answered his question so honestly, he suddenly smiled and said: "The general is really a joke, didn't the general think that I am the young patriarch of the Liao tribe, the general said so, aren't you afraid that our Bai Dadan will leave the general here?" ”
Li Jing shook his head, stretched out his finger and said: "First, there are three thousand people on our side, and there are only a dozen of you, if you have other ideas, it will be easy for me to kill you, and second, the young patriarch who does not want to unify the grassland is definitely not a qualified patriarch, Bai Dadan's department has been oppressed by the Liao people for so many years, does it have other thoughts?" The grassland is the grassland of the grassland people, we can't occupy the grassland, if you cooperate with me, it is possible to unify the grassland, such a good thing, I believe that Bai Dadan will definitely agree. ”
"Although what the general said is good, the Liao people are strong, and we are not opponents at all." Tuhuan thought about it, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this point will disappoint the general." ”
"Why didn't the young patriarch ask me why the Central Plains had been weak for more than a hundred years, why did he think about attacking the Liao State now?" Li Jing made a gesture of invitation and said: "Because a powerful enemy has appeared in the northeast of the Liao State, and he is about to besiege the Liao State with us, within two years, the destruction of the Liao State has become a foregone conclusion, I believe that at that time, on the grassland, there must be a group of heroes competing for hegemony, what, the young patriarch does not have the heart to unify the grassland?" As far as I know, the entire Bai Dadan Department controls 100,000 people, this is a powerful force, and it is almost invincible on the Xijing Road. ”
"The general encouraged us to raise troops, I'm afraid he also has his own purpose!" Tuhuan is not a fool, Li Jing said it very directly, obviously he has his own plans, but Li Jing has a life-saving grace for himself, but he seems to be more cordial between his words.
"I need Yunzhou, I just want to subdue Yunzhou." Li Jing thought for a while and said: "You Bai Dadan will help me seize Yunzhou, and if you fight for the grassland in the future, I will be your help, I can give you grain, grass, and weapons, which is also the reason why you were chosen." ”
Tuohuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes showed a hint of intention, and finally he arched his hand and said: "This matter is very important, the younger brother can't be the master, our big tent is ahead, it is better to ask the general to go to our clan to talk about it." Today, the general saved me from Huan, and I will definitely protect the safety of the general. "No matter what, Li Jing is a life-saving benefactor of pressure, and for this point, if the transaction fails, Li Jing's life can be saved.
"That's very good." Li Jing nodded, he saw Pu Suwan in the distance, only to see Pu Suwan standing there on a horse, looking at the east, his figure was like a statue, and he sighed slightly in his heart. According to Pu Suwan's cleverness, she must know that Tuhuan didn't kill herself at the first time, and after talking for so long, she knew what Tuhuan was thinking. However, the princess of Yinping in the distance looked at her in a similar outfit thoughtfully.
"Why don't you tell who you are?" Li Jing nodded at Tuhuan and walked straight to Pu Suwan's side.
"Is my Da Liao really hopeless?" Pu Suwan smiled bitterly.
"There's no hope." Li Jing shook his head and said: "Not to mention the powerful Jin army, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely attack Youzhou, the main forces are concentrated in the Liao State of Youzhou, and the forces will definitely be consumed cleanly, and there is the western grassland, the Liao people are too cruel to the grassland, I just want to make a proposal, even if it is because of my life-saving grace to him, what is more important is his ambition and the persecution of your Liao people, so that he has to take risks." ”
"Maybe it's really the case, but if you form an alliance with Bai Dadan, aren't you afraid that one day, Bai Dadan will become the second Khitan? At that time, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Pu Suwan sneered.
"It's a matter of time, but I'm not afraid, a chaotic grassland is in my interests, besides, as long as I master the Central Plains, am I still afraid of these grassland tribes? The incompetence of the imperial court can make the grassland people show off their might, but if the Central Plains falls into my hands, things will not be so simple. Li Jing looked into the distance, and saw that Tuhuan was cleaning up the mess with Princess Yinping, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of hideousness, and said, "Sooner or later, the grassland will also be mine." ”
"You are really terrible, Bai Dadan and you are seeking skin with the tiger, and sooner or later you will suffer a big loss." Pu Suwan glared at Li Jing, gently clamped the war horse, and galloped towards the guards.
"Look, General." When Li Jing had just arrived at the Guards, he saw black smoke rising in the distance, the earth trembled, and Chen Long beside him looked at Li Jing with some concern.
"It should be Bai Dadan." Li Jing waved his hand.
"Brother Li, it's my Eqige who is here." In the distance, Dehuan waved his hand to Li Jing and shouted loudly. On the grassland, Eqige means father. Obviously, the cavalry rushing over from a distance is the tribal leader of the Bai Dadan people, according to the information provided by the secret guard, this person should be Tuhuan's father Ma Hamu, who controls the string cavalry of 100,000 people, and is the king of the entire Bai Dadan people, especially now, when the strength of the Great Liao is weak, Bai Dadan's strength in Xijing Road is that even the Liao people are very jealous.
Ma Hamu obviously didn't put Li Jing and the others in his eyes, and after the army arrived, he beckoned Tuohuan as if no one was around, and after careful questioning, he laughed, jumped off the horse, and greeted him.
"Friends from the Central Plains, I, Mahmu, thank you for saving my son and daughter." Mahamu laughed, and said to Li Jing: "In front is my village, a strong man, there is a delicious mare's milk wine waiting for the strong man, I don't know if the strong man is willing to go to the village for a while." ”
"General." Li Qiao's face was stunned, and he looked at Li Jing with some concern, Ma Hamu in front of him obviously knew Li Jing's identity, but the other party only called Li Jing a strong man, not a general, obviously I am afraid that he has other thoughts in his heart about the matter of jointly dealing with the Liao State.
"That's very good. I'm sure the chief won't do anything to his friends. Li Jing stopped Li Qiao and said with a smile: "You lead a large group of people to be stationed nearby, I believe that the leader will definitely entertain me and other brothers." ”
"Don't worry, general, I have already had cattle and sheep slaughtered and sent to the general's army." The city of Dehuan is obviously inferior to his father, and he immediately said with a smile: "You are all my life-saving benefactors, and this Bai Dadan Department is also your home." Let's go, let's go home. ”
"Okay, let's go, General, let's go home." Mahamu was stunned for a moment, and finally let out a hearty smile, beckoning Li Jing to return to his tribe, just looking at Li Jing's army, a trace of doubt flashed.
The tribe of the Bai Dadan people is very large, as far as the eye can see, this is where Mahamu's tooth tent is, look carefully, there are tens of thousands of people gathered here, it looks like a huge city, when Mahamu's cavalry rushed into the tooth tent, there were bursts of cheers around, Li Jing could see that Mahamu's prestige in Bai Dadan was very good.
"Bai Dadan is strong today, and it is also because of his father." As if he was worried that Li Jing would not understand the name of the grassland people, Tuhuan used the daily language of the Central Plains people.
"That's natural, and you can see that the leader has a high prestige among the tribe." Li Jing nodded, although his face was full of smiles, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, Bai Dadan's face was very good, and the dishes on the faces of some grassland people were different, and he was united in his heart, if such a person had some ambitions, it was not necessarily a good thing for the Central Plains.
"Father, brother." At this time, a war horse galloped over, and on the war horse sat a majestic man, who was strong all over his body, and the leather armor on his body outlined his strong body.
"Oh, my dear brother, I heard that you were besieged by the Western Xia dogs, and you were rescued by the cowardly Han Chinese? It really makes me wonder, how can the cowardly Han people rescue the eagle of my Bai Dadan people? The man looked at Tuohuan with a smile on his face, but everyone was not stupid, so they could naturally hear it, and this laughter was full of sarcasm.
"Ebony, this is the general of the Han people, this time he came to discuss with us to resist the Liao, you must not be rude." Annoyed and ashamed, he raised his horsewhip and pointed at the ebony and roared loudly.
"What, rebel against Da Liao? My brother, you can't be so stupid! We are a part of the Great Liao, and we are the loyal dogs of the Great Liao, how can this dog rebel against its master? Ebony exclaimed.
"We are people, not dogs of the Liao people, if you want to be dogs, you can go by yourself, don't think that we Bai Dadan people are the same as you." Dehuan objected loudly.
"Shut up." Ma Hamu glared at his two sons, and finally looked at Li Jing, and snorted coldly: "Let's go, go back and discuss." Originally, he didn't want to mention this matter, but now that his two sons have said it, he has to think about it.
