Chapter 1244 Preserve Heavenly Principles, Prosper Da Liao
In February of the second year of the Republic, the city of Kedun.
This famous city is located almost in the center of what later generations called the Mongolian Plateau. According to the Tuwura River, a tributary of the Ulugu River, the surrounding water and grass are abundant, and it is a rare and rich place on the Mobei grassland. After the Great Liao State conquered the Mobei grassland, it took this place as the foundation to rule the grassland, built the city of Kedun, and set up the town of Zhou to build an army. Moreover, there are 20,000 troops stationed here, all of whom are tribal warriors drawn from various Khitan tribes, and even the soldiers and their families have migrated here, half herding and half soldiers. Moreover, it is stipulated that in the event of war, no transfer shall be allowed!
In other words, no matter how much the Liao State lost elsewhere, the 20,000 households in Duncheng could not move.
Because the 20,000 households of the Tun army could not be mobilized, so at the moment when the Liao State was completely collapsed, the city of Kedun, far away in Mobei, became the last and second pure land of the Great Liao State - the land of the seven rivers of Yelu Dashi was the last pure land!
However, the land of the Seven Rivers is too far for the Khitan nobles who fled in exile to run over. Therefore, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom in various parts of Xijing Road, the Khitan nobles who had no way out all converged on Kedun City.
With the convergence of exiles, the military city suddenly became noisy and lively. Khitans, Xi, Bohai, Han, Tatars...... People of all nationalities mingle and mingle. The merchant tribes on the grassland also heard the news, and teams of camels, herds of cattle and sheep kept passing through the city. He sent all kinds of delicious and fun to the exiled nobles of Daliao, and then earned enough gold, silver, copper and silk, and left satisfied.
In addition to the merchants on the grassland, there was also a group of Tianli scholars from Hexi who also ran to Kedun City through some means! It is also claimed that he was ordered by Jerod Dashi to spread the principles of heaven.
As a result, a group of monks who were holding their stomachs were angry, and the two sides were both dialectics and fighting (fighting with swords and swords), so it was not lively.
Of course, the Khitan nobles in Kedun City wanted to help the monks suppress Tianli, but they didn't wait for them to arrest people. The messenger of Jerod has arrived! It's really a Wanfu banner of the Heavenly Doctrine, and he has a hot relationship with the Heavenly Priests in Kedun City.
At this time, the Khitan nobles finally believed that their "savior" Yelu Dashi was really a believer in Tianli!
As a result, many Khitan nobles who were ready to follow the big stone mix also turned their backs on Buddhism and reason, and Tianlijiao was in the limelight for a while, while the monks and nuns were all deflated. There is no one to support them anymore, and there is even a saying that "Liao Yi is free from waste".
Regard Buddhism as the main culprit of the destruction of the Great Liao Kingdom!
In addition to a group of monks and nuns who are all gray, the two brothers Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Baoxian are also gray. Because the Khitan nobles who gathered in Kedun City also regarded their brothers as the culprits of the defeat of the Great Liao.
In addition, the two of them also kept Yelu Yanxi's queen Xiao Duoli, the concubine Xiao Guige, and Xiao Guige's son Yeluding, the son of Yelu Yanxi.
That's a bit of a nuisance...... Now the news between Kedun City and Dading Mansion has long been out of contact, and no one knows if the emperor and the queen mother of Dading Mansion are still there?
If the emperor and the queen mother of Dading Mansion are gone, then shouldn't Xiao Duoli be the queen mother and Yeluding be the emperor?
But the problem is that Yelu Dashi is the emperor of Dading Mansion and the king of Western Liao who was named by the Queen Mother...... Will he support Xiao Duoli and Jerodin? He's a very good king, what's the point of adding an emperor to himself?
If Yelu Dashi does not support Xiao Duoli and Yeluding, then ...... Can he still allow the Xiao family brothers and sisters and Yeluding to live?
It's scary to think about!
is also worried, but there is also a Yeluchun who is looking forward to it. If Yelu Dashi wants to set up a new king, he seems to be qualified to be the emperor...... But what exactly did Jerod Dashi have in mind?
Is it a yellow robe, or is the head on the ground?
As for the other Khitan nobles in the city, they were all looking forward to the arrival of Yelu Dashi, and they were inevitably a little apprehensive.
Can Da Liao still recover? Where does the big guy go from here? Zhou Guo and Jin Guo are not easy to deal with! There are many tribes on the grassland who have taken refuge under the command of the Jin State, led by Zhu Bu and Meng Gu, who have made a windfall in the plundering of Datong Mansion. It has aroused the eyes of many grassland tribes.
Even the Tatar Nine Divisions, which have always been respectful to the Great Liao State, have been a little impatient recently...... If it weren't for the 20,000 elite Tuntian soldiers and horses here in Kedun City, maybe they would have attacked Kedun City a long time ago!
The whole city, now full of a sense of confusion and uneasiness about the future, is waiting to bring Jerodashi with him.
There were several young Khitan nobles standing on the west gate tower of Kedun City, all of whom looked at it with their hands in their hands. Suddenly, one of them jumped high: "The soldiers and horses of the King of Western Liao have arrived!" There must be hundreds of thousands of people, right? ”
A shout attracted a group of Khitan nobles, all of whom went up to the city wall to look. Sure enough, boundless chariots, horses, and cavalry appeared on the grassland of the West Gate, and they came in a hurry. The royal banner of the Great Liao King and the Wanfu military flag of the Seven Rivers Protectorate were all played. Walking in front was a group of ironclad cavalry, a total of 5,000 horsemen, all dressed in iron armor made by Tianzhu (the product of Western Xia craftsmen who absorbed Tianzhu technology) and rode Persian horses. The formation is so strict that it is not inferior to the knight of Wu Haogu.
A few days ago, a distant horse released by Kedun City came back to report, saying that he had seen the iron cavalry of the king of Western Liao, and they were all no less elite than the iron cavalry of the Zhou State!
There are more and more people gathered on the city wall and at the gate of the city, including Zhenzhou Jian'an Army Festival Envoy Yelu Buddha Ding, King Yelu Chun of Qin and Jin, King Ye Luding of Qin, Shangjing Left Behind Yelu Dabei Nu, Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian and other relatives and nobles, all of whom heard the news.
Seeing the iron cavalry from far and near, they all cheered in their hearts: "With this elite soldier, Daliao will not die!" ”
Yelu Dashi rode a large stone horse, dressed in Tianzhu Monkey Armor, and came out of the crowd under the escort of dozens of ironclad knights. With a smile on his face, he bowed his hand to the crowd, and opened his mouth in fluent Khitan dialect: "This king is the capital of Qihe to protect Yelu Dashi, according to the order of the Queen Mother, to take over as the king of Western Liao, the northwest road to recruit envoys, Zhenzhou Jian'an Army Festival envoys, and control the grassland departments." ”
Yeluchun took a few steps forward, stood in front of everyone, looked at the young and promising Yeluchun, nodded lightly and said, "This king Yeluchun!" ”
"I've seen the king!" Jerodashi only bowed on horseback, and did not have the slightest intention of bowing his head.
Then Yelu Dashi put on an anxious look: "May I ask the king, is there any news from the queen mother and the emperor?" What is the situation in Dadingfu? ”
"After the fall of Xijing Datong Mansion, the transportation between Kedun City and Dading Mansion was cut off." Ye Luchun shook his head and said, "It's been a few months now, and no one knows what happened to Dading Mansion......
Yelu Dashi snorted, interrupted Yelu Chun, and then put on a straight face: "There is no news from the Queen Mother and the Emperor, how can I wait for the ministers of Da Liao to sit and wait in Kedun City?" Maybe the Queen Mother and the Emperor are trapped in Dading Mansion waiting for us to rescue! ”
Ye Luchun was faceless, his face turned pale, and he said calmly: "The Da Liao courtiers here in Kedun City are looking forward to fighting back day and night, but the enemy is strong, and my Da Liao forces are weak, so it is difficult to be hostile...... Therefore, everyone is waiting for the Yelu capital of the Seven Rivers to protect the east! ”
Yelu Dashi nodded his head: "Okay! Since everyone wants to fight back, then Dashi is relieved! Oishi brought 30,000 elite soldiers this time. There should also be no less than 30,000 Khitan warriors on the side of Kedun City. It's better to tidy up in Kedun City for a few months, and send troops to counterattack Xijing Datong Mansion in the summer and fight to the death with the Jurchen thieves!
As long as we wait for the Khitan Erlang to unite as one, not afraid of the bitter cold, not afraid of casualties, and risk our lives, we will definitely be able to restore the great Liaojiang River!
I'm Da Liao, and I won't die! Save the principles of heaven and prosper the great Liao! ”
Before Yelu Dashi's words fell, the knights behind him raised their arms and shouted: "Da Liao will not die, save the heavenly principles, and prosper Da Liao!" ”
After the knight shouted, the cavalry of 20 thousand households on the grassland behind him also shouted: "Preserve Tianli and prosper Daliao!" Preserve the principles of heaven and prosper the great Liao ......"
For a while, the shouts on the grassland shook the sky, and the people and officials of the entire Kedun City were taken aback.
The Khitan nobles who greeted them at the city gate were even more dumbfounded.
What's going on? Who is Jerodashi? How can more than 100,000 people respond? How did he do it? Emperor Taizu back then, was nothing more than that?
Yelu Dashi looked at a group of stunned relatives and nobles, and he was also a little proud.
Don't look at him, he only has 60 thousand households, but these 60 thousand households are united and cohesive, hundreds of thousands of people have one heart, they all believe in heavenly principles, and they are all believers of Dr. Oishi. In the Land of the Seven Rivers, with this kind of unity and single-mindedness, millions of Heavenly Sect disciples could not do anything!
But the nobles of the clan here in Duncheng can't be compared with them at all, so it seems that they have to be trained well......
……
The news of Yelu Dashi's arrival in the grassland soon spread to Dajin Xijing Datong Mansion and to Wanyan Aguta's ears.
Among the nomadic Tatar tribes near the city of Kedun, many people have taken refuge in Akuta. Therefore, the news of the arrival of Yelu Dashi with a large number of troops and 3,000 ironclad cavalry was soon learned by Ah Guda.
"Du Bo is extremely strong, we can't let this Laoshzi Yelu Dashi become big in Kedun City!" Wanyan Wu Qimai, who rushed to hear the news, immediately said to Ah Gu, "Let me go, give me 5,000 elite soldiers, and keep him off guard!" ”
Ah Gu waved his hand, "Wu Qimai, what are you anxious about?" Yelu Dashi is late, the general trend of Daliao has gone, and he can't do anything in Kedun City, at most he can just collect the embers of the Khitan and go west. ”
"Du Bo is extremely fierce, there are still many tribes on the grassland, if they are co-opted by Yelu Dashi, there will be trouble."
Ah Gu smiled: "What the tribes on the grassland want are wealth and warm pasture, can Dashi give it?" Even if he can give it, he has to go to the Western Regions to have it.
What matters now is to let the steppe tribes who follow us get a little more benefit. As long as the fame comes out, more people will follow!
As for Jerod Dashi, keep him first! ”
