Chapter 329: Xiao Gan, Mongol Tribes
"The little one has seen the master, but I don't know what the master has commanded when he called the little one?"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lin Chong ordered someone to call Xiao Huilibao, who had been closely guarded and placed under house arrest.
To say that this product is really remarkable, although as a captive, he is cautious, docile and well-behaved in front of Lin Chong, but in Lin Chong's opinion, the heroic bearing of this person has never diminished a little.
This is a hero who will never admit defeat and surrender easily!
So Lin Chong deliberately inquired with Xiao Xiamo, Qiong Demon Nayan and others, only to know that Hui Libao was just his Xi name, and he also had a Chinese name called Xiao Gan.
As soon as he said Xiao Gan, Lin Chong immediately knew who this person was.
Isn't this known as the end of the Liao Dynasty together with Yelu Dashi, when the Liao State Mansion will fall, Emperor Tianzuo fled into Jiashan and disappeared, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi together supported Liao Nanjing to stay in the Qin and Jin Dynasty King Yelu Chun as the emperor, and established the Northern Liao.
Xiao Gan was the first important minister of Northern Liao, commanding all armies, and was called the king of the four armies (Khitan, Xi, Han, and Bohai).
At that time, Song and Jin reached a maritime alliance and agreed to attack Liao together with the north and south, and Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi defeated the Northern Expeditionary Army of 200,000 commanded by Tong Guan with inferior forces, forcing Tong Guan to spend a lot of money to ask the Jurchens to help take Yanjing on their behalf.
In the end, the general trend of the Liao State has gone, Xiao Gan is unable to return to the sky, he is unwilling to go to Tianzuo Emperor with Yelu Dashi, so the Khitan army in the four armies is assigned to Yelu Dashi, and he led the Xi, Han, and Bohai armies back to the Xi people's hometown Jianli Mountain area to establish the "Great Xi Empire", which is the first emperor of the Xi people.
It's a pity that under the joint attack of the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty, the "Great Xi Empire" only existed for eight months before it was destroyed, and Xiao Gan became the only emperor of the Xi people.
During this period, the Jurchens also recruited him many times, but he firmly refused.
can know that the heroes of the world, how can they not have their own persistence? How can you be obedient to yourself?
Therefore, Lin Chong was not the slightest interested in recruiting this guy, but when he called him this time, he was quite interested in some of his experiences?
"Haha, don't be polite, sit down, I'll make tea."
Lin Chong grinned, and as he spoke, he simply made two cups of tea with boiling water and handed one over.
"Try our Songdi's newly picked Mingqian tea, it tastes very good."
Xiao Gan was a little confused, but he still sat down according to his words, he took the glass teacup handed by Lin Chong, and then put it on the small table in front of him, thanked him, and looked at Lin Chong with curiosity.
The young man in front of him had completely changed his temperament at this time, the fragrance of tea was faint, and Xiao Gan felt like a Han Confucian scribe in the Liao Kingdom.
Elegant, indifferent, calm. Where is the shadow of a brave general who is invincible?
How did such a character come about? What is his identity in the Song Kingdom?
The doubts in Xiao Gan's heart became more and more, but he just watched quietly, occasionally taking a sip or two of tea, waiting for Lin Chong to ask.
"Actually, I called you this time, mainly to talk to you about the situation in the Liao Kingdom, I heard that last year, at the same time as Gao Yongchang, a Bohai native in eastern Liaodong, rebelled, the Murwei Zhufan in the northeast, the grassland savages you call the Hazy Bone Country also entered the Kou, and you led the troops to destroy all of them?"
Xiao Gan hurriedly put down the teacup and nodded respectfully at Lin Chong: "Exactly, the grassland barbarians also wanted to come and take advantage of the fire to rob, but they were all broken by the small leaders, which is not worth mentioning." ”
Lin Chong smiled and asked again: "You can tell me about these grassland barbarians, what tribes are there?" But what powerful characters there are, what the tactics are, and what the combat effectiveness is, I will talk about them in detail. ”
The doubts in Xiao Gan's eyes grew, and he couldn't help asking, "What is the master asking for these things?" ”
Lin Chong smiled faintly and said, "If you talk carefully, I know that you are a generation of heroes, although you are captured by me, you must not really surrender to me."
I don't really want to take you as a prisoner, and you don't have to treat me as a master, so we get along as friends.
Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I can let you go back, but once you leave, we will meet on the battlefield, and we will be enemies.
The golden cup is drunk together, and the white blades are not forgiven, and if we meet again in the future, I will definitely not show mercy to my subordinates. ”
Xiao Gan's eyes flashed, and his face showed a look of confusion and thought, but then he also smiled faintly, and said: "It's a good sentence 'The golden cup is drunk together, and the white blade is not spared'!"
The hero of the master world will not deceive me, how fortunate the little one is, to be able to get along with the master as a friend, even if it is only for a short time. It's just that the little one still doesn't know the real name and identity of the owner. ”
Lin Chong picked up the teacup and took a sip of Meimei, "You will know, now start telling me about the Northeast Zhubo Grassland Tribe." ”
It's no wonder that Lin Chong is interested, but as a traveler, others don't know, how can Lin Chong not know that this Wei Zhubu and what Misty Bone Country are the Mongolian tribes in later generations.
Moreover, according to the history that Lin Chong knew in his previous life, in the original historical time and space, when the Song and Jin were at war, the Mongol tribes had already risen once.
Probably the great-grandfather of the man who was born with fire in his eyes, light on his face, and a blood clot in his hand, took this opportunity to be elected as the king of Khan by the Mongol tribes, leading the tribe to stand on its own from the rule of Liao and Jin, and fought with the Jurchens many times, and did not fall behind at all!
In the end, the invincible Dajin Kingdom had no choice but to recognize the status of the Mongols, and canonized its leader as the king of the Mughal Dynasty, and also signed an agreement with it, ceding land and stockades, and rewarding the other party with a large amount of cattle and sheep food and clothing every year.
That is to say, the Jin State fought in the south to sue for peace in the Southern Song Dynasty, and gave a large number of New Year's coins to the Jurchens every year; In the north, it was beaten by the Muguls and sued for peace, and the land ceded was many years old every year.
It's just that the Jurchens had no way to take the Menggu Kingdom on the battlefield, so they used tricks behind their backs to provoke the Tatar tribe to fight with them, and decades later, the Menggu Kingdom was destroyed.
Although Xiao Gan was puzzled, he thought that the affairs of the Northeast Grassland Tribes had little to do with the Great Song Dynasty, so he still patiently told everything he knew.
It turned out that at this time, the grassland in the northeast was still a plate of scattered sand, and there were not fifty but forty tribes of all sizes, and their combat effectiveness was very weak, and they were not vulnerable at all.
It's just that these savage tribes are also like steppe tribes, but like the newly rising Jurchens, they are all fearless of death, and they are also particularly able to endure hardships and hardships.
Lin Chong nodded and said with a faint smile: "General Xiao, have you ever thought about it?" You say that these steppe barbarians are vulnerable in combat, but in fact, it's just that their equipment is too backward and their tactics are not mature enough.
Have you ever thought that once they get enough good equipment for some reason, like the rise of the Jurchens, their tactics become more and more mature, and then like the Jurchens, many unborn heroes emerge in a short period of time, will this force still be vulnerable in your eyes? I'm afraid it's not much better than the Jurchen. ”
