Carriages and horses are fluttering, and thousands of flags are fluttering.

The Mobei Plateau is full of spring. The sky was cloudless, but it was bright and far-reaching. The tender green grassland is dotted with small tents here and there. A north wind blew, and the green grass undulated like waves, revealing the cattle, sheep and horses in between. The whole world is like a landscape painting.

On the prairie in the western part of Shangjing Road in Liao, a rather large team was walking at this time. This is a mixed army and civilian team, not only with heavily armed cavalry to cover all sides, but also many herdsmen driving cattle and sheep, as well as horse-drawn carts, on which are either sitting on the Khitan costumes of the people, or all kinds of supplies are bundled to the brim. The cars were all planted with black pennants, and there was a golden symbol on the flag—this was also the symbol of the Tianli Sect, but it did not belong to the Doctor Group and the Hexi School, but the banner of the Tianshan Doctor Hall. At the same time, it is also the military banner of the Seven Rivers Protectorate of Yelu Dashi.

Eight years ago, the Yelu Dashi regime that appeared in Broken Leaf was first called the Broken Leaf Jie Du Envoy, and later changed its name to the Seven Rivers Metropolitan Protectorate. However, on the issue of national ownership, it has always remained vague, neither belonging to the Great Song Dynasty nor to the Great Liao, and there is no intention of establishing an independent state immediately.

Relying on the policy of ambiguity, Yelu Dashi has maintained very friendly relations with the Liao, Song, Hexi, Anxi, Tianzhu, and Gaochang regimes of the Song Dynasty for eight years.

In particular, the Song Dynasty's Tianzhu Zhao regime and Yelu Dashi, who conquered the Xindu River valley in the northwest of Tianzhu, were even closer allies.

Because the two regimes had a common enemy - the Seljuk Turks, who believed in the Celestial Religion. In the direction of Afghanistan, the Tianzhu Zhao clan was at war with the Gur people, who were attached to the Seljuk Turks. On the one hand, the Dashi regime wanted to pacify the tribes of the Geloro people in the land of the Seven Rivers and win them to convert to Tianli; On the one hand, it had to fight against the Western Qarakhanate, another vassal of the Seljuks, for the Ferghana Basin.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi of Qihe and Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun of Tianzhu are natural allies.

For Yelu Dashi's ally, Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun are very righteous, not only aiding a large number of Tianzhu's weapons and armor (Tianzhu's metallurgical industry is very developed, and the famous Damascus steel knife is made of Uzi steel produced in the northwest of Tianzhu), but also gives Yelu Dashi 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million Tianzhu cotton cloth every year!

These two brothers are really rats that fell into the rice jar, from a pair of poor ghosts to big guys, they can all throw money internationally to cobble together the anti-Seljuk alliance!

In addition to supporting Yelu Dashi in Central Asia, the Zhao brothers, together with their Tianzhu allies, the Bala Dynasty (both of whom were Tantric Buddhists), provided large sums of money to the Nanyang Protectorate controlled by Ji Yi, Hua Manshan, Fang La, and others.

The two countries would provide 500,000 taels of gold or equivalent spices and cloth to the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate every year to help the Imperial Protectorate strengthen its naval fleet to combat the naval power of the Chola Kingdom and the Celestial Sect.

The two brothers Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun, who went deep into Tianzhu, were on the side of the Central Plains, although they became almost forgotten characters.

But on the world stage, they are very popular!

With the financial support of the Tianzhu Protectorate, Yelu Dashi achieved a series of victories against the Geluluo and Western Qarakhanids, completely brought the land of the Seven Rivers under his control, and also seized the Ferghana Basin, and also completed the internal rectification.

The 30,000 Khitan tribesmen were scattered and reorganized, mixed with the Han knights and soldiers of Yelu Dashi's lineage, and many converted Gelluluo and Persians were added, forming 60 thousand households with a combination of military and civilian.

Each thousand households can provide 1,000 warriors for Yelu Dashi, and 60 thousand households can provide up to 60,000 troops!

Relying on the troops provided by these 6000 households and the wealth provided by Tianzhu, Yelu Dashi gradually expanded his effective control area from the Broken Leaf River Valley to most of the Qihe region, the basin at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains (Jungar Basin) and the Ferghana Basin within a few years. It has become a first-class powerful force in Central Asia!

If it weren't for the letter from Wu Haogu and the canonization of Empress Dowager Xiao (named the king of Western Liao), Yelu Dashi would not have led two thousand households into the western part of Shangjing Road, where birds don't, but would have gone south to attack Bukhara.

Before that, Yelu Dashi was planning a great battle to completely destroy the Western Qarakhanid!

After the destruction of the Qarakhanids, Dashi also prepared to unite the Tianzhu Protectorate, the Nanyang Protectorate, the Roman Empire, the Sinai Republic, and the Kingdom of Jerusalem to besiege the Seljuks...... If you're lucky, Jerodashi wants to visit Baghdad!

Wu Haogu, who was far away in the east, would never have dreamed that because of his decision and that of Empress Dowager Xiao, the entire Heavenly Sect world would be greatly relieved.

The Heavenly Fang Sect World breathed a sigh of relief, and the Sticky Eight Gebu in the western part of the Shangjing Dao of the Liao Kingdom was unlucky.

Yelu Dashi, who led 20 thousand households (including soldiers and civilians) into the western part of Shangjing Province in the Liao Kingdom, first clashed with the Sticky Bage Tribe. The two sides fought a great battle on the waterside of the Yizhi, and the Sticky Bage tribe was defeated and fled, and the Yelu Dashi tribe continued eastward after plundering a large number of cattle, sheep and slaves. It took two months to reach the Ulugu River Valley.

The Ulugu River valley was the center of Khitan rule in the Mobei grassland, including the Zhubu Dawangfu, the Northwest Road Recruitment Division, and the Zhenzhou Jian'an Army Jiedu Envoy Division. In addition, there are 20,000 Khitan troops drawn from various tribes, which are also stationed here.

Even when the Great Liao Kingdom had fallen apart, the area around the Ulugu River was still under the control of the remnants of the Liao State.

And when Yelu Dashi's soldiers and horses entered the Ulugu River Valley, they not only met many Khitan nobles who came to greet them, but also got a lot of terrible news......

……

When the sky darkened, the men and horses of Yelu Dashi began to camp on the grassland, that is, they were connected end to end with the accompanying carts to form a circle of "Gulieyan" car formation, and the accompanying elite soldiers were deployed in the outer ring, and the livestock and family lived in the inner circle, and the royal tent of Yelu Dashi was in the innermost.

Dashi rode a horse and patrolled around the chariot formation, although this area was still the territory of the Khitans. However, Yelu Dashi, who was leading the army outside, was still cautious, not sure that everything in the car formation was foolproof, and he could not rest in peace no matter what.

His military advisor Xiao Lira and his clan brother Yelu Songshan were both following him, and these two people, like Xiao Tieniu and Han Dagou, had studied in the Yuntai Academy. Later, he traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions to take refuge in Dashi, and was Dashi's henchman.

Now it's natural to plan for Oishi.

Xiao Lili said in a low voice: "King, it seems that the situation in the east is out of control, so we might as well take the people in the Ulugu River and go west together." ”

Jerusongshan also said, "We have a great future in the west!" It's just that there are too few hearts of the nation. If you can get the 20,000 accounts of the Zhenzhou Jian'an Army and the troops who fled from everywhere. That's not 60 thousand households, but 100, or even 200 thousand households. With so many nationalities, not to mention Bukhara, even Baghdad is not impossible to go! ”

Xiao Weili and Yelu Songshan, who have been in the land of seven rivers for many years, know that there are rich war scum in Persia and Dashi.

The elite soldiers pulled out of the Mobei grassland will not have any difficulty in beating them!

For Yelu Dashi, the problem now is one - there are few people!

There are only 60 thousand households, half of which are still Gollus and Persians. Properly to the few to the public, to less to the more. Even if the Western Qarakhanid and Persia could be captured, the foundation of the state would be too thin.

But if Yelu Dashi can pull away the embers of Daliao who fled to the grassland, he may be able to increase hundreds of thousands of nations!

At that time, Yelu Dashi will be able to integrate 200 thousand households on the basis of annexing a part of the Gelula and Kipchak people.

With so many nationalities, going south to Persia and even Baghdad is no longer a dream!

"Erila, Matsuyama," Yelu Dashi said to his two henchmen in an inaudible voice, "and now it has been determined that Da Liao is not dead...... Then send someone to Liangzhou. Make an agreement with Zhang Li to discuss the huge money together! ”

"The King's ......"

"King, Zhang Li won't pay attention to our ......"

Xiao Lira shook his head together with Yelu Songshan. Although Yelu Dashi and Hexi Zhangli are also allies. But neither of them thought that Zhang Li would send troops to the grassland for the sake of the alliance with Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "Why should we collect the embers of the Great Liao Kingdom?" There are mountains of gold and silver in the west, and we know about the things that are not the master, who knows the same people on the side of the Ulugu River? The Queen Mother appointed me as the king of Western Liao, and everyone in the country on the banks of the Ulugu River is looking forward to me revitalizing the prestige of Daliao, how can I do nothing and pull people away? Who will follow me?

So we must do our best for Daliao and let people see this! We must hold high the banner of anti-Jin Fuliao! Only in this way will people trust us and follow us.

As for whether Zhang Li will join forces with us, it is not a question at all...... The problem is that we have to do something!

In addition, we have to send someone to contact the Queen Mother and the Martial Saint. Contact them to send troops together, besiege the Jin people, and recover Daliao! ”

"Will the Martial Saints ignore us?"

Yelu Dashi smiled: "It should be...... He must also need to use us and Zhang Li to scare the Jin Kingdom and the group of robbers on the grassland, right? ”

He paused, "Actually, Ah Guda doesn't necessarily want that wild man to run to the grassland to boost the momentum of the Great Liao Kingdom, right?" ”

"A bone beats him and wants to ......"

Yelu Dashi smiled: "Let's come to the grassland, and he can continue to hold up the banner of Liao." It's hard to say what Hebul thinks about it, and Hu'er Zahusi must hate it to death...... With his support, Aguta's situation on the grassland would be much better. Therefore, we can rest assured that Ah Guda will not easily enter Zhenzhou City. ”
