Heishui Ya, which began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, was called Su Shen in ancient times, and was called Lu Lou in the Warring States Period, until it was changed to Jin Ya in the Sui Dynasty.

If this is not clear, there is another name that people are more familiar with, that is, the Jurchen, the Jurchen who is less than ten thousand, and the Jurchen who is invincible is also the Jurchen who took the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Black Water Turtle did not have the strength of later generations, and their lives at this time were still relatively primitive, living a nomadic and nomadic life. Some people live in the deep mountains and old forests of the northeast, relying on hunting and fishing, while others live near the grasslands and live by grazing.

The whole group is mainly divided into seven tribes, and these seven tribes are led by the horse.

In the past, when Goguryeo was still alive, the Tatar people fought wars with them for hundreds of years, and after a long time, they compromised with each other and slowly turned into peaceful coexistence.

But now, Goguryeo has been killed, and this black land has a new owner - the Tang Dynasty.

Unlike Goguryeo, Datang would not compromise because of the strength of her enemies, especially during the reign of Li Er.

So the peace was broken again, and Heishui was unwilling to let his territory be invaded by the Tang Dynasty without restrictions, so Da Zuorong, the leader of the Su Dynasty, had the idea of attacking the Tang Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, he united Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, intending to unite the three parties and teach the Tang Dynasty a lesson.

But after the agreed time came, there were some disagreements between the seven tribes of the Yan Dynasty, which caused them to not attack at the same time as Xue Yantuo as agreed, leaving Li Ji waiting at the border for several months.

……

Now that it is the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Da Zuorong has completed the unification of the seven major tribes, unifying all the opposing voices in the clan and turning them into a common voice - to take back what should have belonged to them, Liaodong!

So on a very peaceful morning, a low horn sounded on the border line, and a group of cavalry from the Blackwater Division came out of the dense forest.

The 100,000 Chen soldiers of the army of the Yan Dynasty are on the border and want to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty and seize Liaodong.

……

Liaodong Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Metropolitan Governor Li Ji was playing against a young general, and unexpectedly, a personal guard pushed the door and walked in, and said in a deep voice: "Report, urgent report on the border, the army of the Black Water Warrior is pressing the border!" ”

"The army is overwhelming the realm......" Li Ji put down the chess pieces in his hand, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Do they finally can't help it?" ”

"The Grand Governor, the last general is willing to lead troops to meet the enemy." The young man sitting opposite Li Ji also stopped what he was doing at this time, got up and asked for his life.

"Chang Zhi is a little restless, and let's see what moves there are in the Yan Ya Department first." Li Ji waved his hand at the young man, then turned his head to the guards who came in and asked, "Tell me carefully, how is the military strength of the Yan Clan?" Who leads the troops? ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the Yan Tribes sent 100,000 troops, all of them cavalry, led by the Su Mo tribe chief Zuorong."

"100,000, hehe...... what a big deal! Chang Zhi, it seems that this time the people are really in a hurry. After listening to the return of the guard, Li Ji showed a long-awaited expression, as if he had been waiting for this day all along.

"Dadu Governor, the last general thinks that the one who comes is not good, and the good one does not come, and the black water and Goguryeo have not been destroyed for hundreds of years, so the last general thinks that it is better not to underestimate the enemy." The young man who was called Chang Zhi by Li Ji spoke in a strange voice, and it didn't sound like a Tang accent.

"The Cavalry does have something to offer on the battlefield, but that was before and not now, and Chang Zhi thought too much." Li Ji waved his hand again, thought for a while and said, "But it's okay for you to do this, otherwise the governor of Pontus really won't be at ease to hand over the soldiers to you." ”

"Dadu Governor ......" The young man didn't seem to expect that Li Ji would really let him lead the army to fight, and when he heard this, he was a little excited and didn't know what to say, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Ji, for fear that he would regret it.

"It's okay to go to war, give you 10,000 cavalry, but this battle can only be outwitted, not invincible, can you be sure?" Li Ji didn't seem to have taken the 100,000 cavalry of the Yan Dynasty in his eyes at all, and the reason why he let the young man fight seemed to be to test his ability.

And the young man was not vague, stood up straight and saluted a Tang Dynasty military salute: "The last general can be guaranteed!" ”

"Well, then you can go, you can pick your own people, bring any equipment you need, understand that you will set off in the morning, remember, you can't be beaten!"

"Yes!" The young man replied aloud.

……

After Baekje was destroyed, Li Chengqian ordered someone to find it, and then entered the army, and later Li Ji went to Liaodong and took over all the military affairs in Liaodong, and Heiji Changzhi naturally became Li Ji's subordinate.

And as the saying goes, gold shines wherever it is, and not long after Li Ji took over the defense of Liaodong, he soon discovered the black tooth Changzhi who was different from ordinary people.

First of all, affinity, this black-toothed Changzhi is very good at pacifying the soldiers and stabilizing the morale of the army, so as long as the surrendered Baekje or Silla captives are thrown into his tent, they will almost quickly be stabilized. Moreover, the captives tend to be in a state of panic for a while, and sometimes there are even things like fights.

The second is that the black tooth Changzhi has a very good brain, and in the process of encircling and suppressing the rebels several times, he will take the initiative to attack, and then leave obvious loopholes for the enemy, and when the enemy counterattacks, he will quickly fill the loopholes, and only then will the enemy find out that it is actually just a trap.

Based on these two points, Hei Ling Changzhi quickly gained Li Ji's appreciation, and often recruited him to his governor's mansion to talk to him about some things related to army management, which seemed to be quite a bit of an apprentice.

……

Shushan Mansion, its geographical location is also modern Changchun.

In order to carry out unified education in the eastern Liaodong region, with the consent of Li Er, Kong Yingda and some other old masters set up the so-called Shushan Mansion here, and some literati and scholars from the Tang Dynasty mostly lived here.

In some ways, it was a cultural mecca for the Liaodong generation, and many former Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje students gathered here to learn about the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

However, in the early morning of one day, the peace of Shushan Mansion was broken, and 100,000 iron horsemen surrounded Shushan Mansion, threatening to slaughter the city.

Da Zuorong sat on a horse in a robe made of fur, with a huge harrier eagle resting on his right shoulder, and a horsewhip in his left hand, his eyes fixed on the city not far away.

Hundreds of years ago, that city was not like this, its name was 'Cha Ah Chong', and it was also the second royal capital of the Ya tribe.

But now, it has become the trophy of Datang, although this city was not taken away by Datang in their hands, but Da Zuorong still wants to take it back.
