The Khitan people have eight kings, namely Yelu Mingbao, King Yelu Mingbao, King Yelu Chuji, King Yelu Jing, King Yelushun, King Yeluchang, King Yeluchang, King Yelu, King Yelu, King Yeluge, and King Yeluqi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Among them, Yelu Mingbao, the king of the left sage, and Yelu Chuji, the king of the right sage, as well as Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin who was assassinated, are all the brothers of the Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie, and the remaining five kings, including the right king Yelu Qi, are all the sons of the Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie.

The reason why the assassination of Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, can cause tension in the entire Khitan tribe is because more than ten years ago, the eight kings of the Khitan tribe were all the brothers of Yelu Enemy Lie, and as a result, in the past ten years, five kings have been dismissed by Yelu Enemy Lie by various opportunities, and even three of the kings died accidentally, and the position of the king was forcibly given to his own son by the Khitan Khan Yelu Enemy.

Among the eight sect kings, the strongest of the eight kings, the Zuoxian King Yelu Mingbao and the Right Virtuous King Yelu Chuji, were very angry that the Youxin King Yelu Amu was assassinated and killed, and united the sons of the Youxin King Yelu Amu, gathered more than 700,000 Khitan cavalry, and began to put pressure on the Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie, preparing to ask for the truth of the facts, why did your Yelu Dilie's own brothers die one after another unexpectedly, you Yelu Dilie must give an explanation!

In the face of the aggressive two brothers and several nephews, the Khitan Khan Yelu Enemy Lie did not give in at all, and immediately gathered hundreds of thousands of Khitan cavalry directly under his command, as well as hundreds of thousands of cavalry of several Zongwang's sons, ready to quell this rebellion at any time, in fact, the death of Yelu Amu, the king of Youxin, really has nothing to do with the Khitan Khan Yelu Enemy Lie, but Yelu Enemy Lie disdained to explain, and his explanation was also a little pale.

Because of the tense situation in the Khitan at this time, the cavalry troops that Yeluqi's four elder brothers promised to send were all transferred to the royal court by his father Yelu Enemy, and even the cavalry of Yeluqi's own tribe and affiliated tribes were also siphoned off by his father Yelu Enemy, and a Khitan civil war was about to break out.

At this critical time, Yeluqi, as the son of Yelu Dilie, of course, has to stand on his father's side, originally Yeluqi considered not going to the Wuheng royal court, but considering the reputation of the Khitan tribe, after all, this alliance was initiated by Yeluqi, and finally Yeluqi discussed it with his father Yelu Dilie, and Yeluqi still brought 80,000 Khitan cavalry from his tribe and affiliated tribes to participate in the nineteen tribe alliance led by himself.

Of course, it should be impossible for the nineteen clan alliance to get together, because of the extermination plan of the Grassland Legion of the Hawkshire Army, some small nomads who were originally going to join the coalition were exterminated by the cavalry troops of the Grassland Legion of the Hawkshire Army.

In addition, the White Tanning Tribe, the Limo Tribe, the two third-echelon nomads of the grassland who are friendly with the Khitan tribe, sent 50,000 cavalry each according to the previous agreement with Yeluqi, which can be regarded as a comfort to the first warrior of the Khitan, so that the cavalry directly controlled by Yeluqi can reach 180,000, and they can still dominate the alliance of various tribes this time.

Hearing that Yeluqi, the Khitan right-hand king, said that the 80,000 cavalry he brought could be worth 200,000 or even 300,000 cavalry of the Ju'an army, Lou Fu Khan Min Gray pouted noncommittally.

More than 20 years ago, a big war broke out between the Lou Fu and the Khitan because of a grassland, and the two uncles and an elder brother of the Lou Fu Khan Min Gray were killed in that battle, so Min Gray has always looked down on the Khitan people, but it was only unpleasant, that year, the Khitan people taught the Lou Fu people a very miserable lesson, and the Lou Fu people did not dare to challenge the Khitan people, one of the three strong clans in the grassland.

At this time, Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha coughed and said: "Even if the nine small clans of Wusun, Qiuzi, Ruoqiang, Beilu, Ronglu, Qule, Shule, Huhu and Kokand are excluded, we can still have ten clans in this alliance, and none of our ten clans are weak clans, and the gathered strength should not be a problem to deal with that Great Jin Guhu." ”

The Great Khan of the Ding Ling Clan, Chaganlar, asked: "Shuerha Great Khan, I don't know how many troops your Wuheng clan can send this time to join our coalition this time?" ”

Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha sighed before he said mournfully: "In the last crusade against the Great Jin Dove, our Wuheng clan suffered huge losses because of the death of some allies, and it has not been relieved until now, plus it has lost more than a dozen Wuheng tribes during this period of time, so this time the Great Khan can only barely make up 50,000 Wuheng cavalry to join this alliance." ”

Lou Fu Da Khan Min Gray knew that the so-called allies of Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha who did not save him when he saw death mainly referred to the Lou Fu clan, and he was not allergic Gray twisted his head as if he didn't hear it.

The last time the coalition army was formed to crusade against Liu Ji, if it weren't for the army of the Lou Fu tribe, in that night attack of the Ju'an army, the Wuheng army would not have suffered so much loss, and only the cavalry of the Lou Fu tribe had enough strength to rescue the Wuheng people at that time.

Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha saw Lou Annoying Khan Min Gray twisting his head, as if he didn't hear it, his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of murderous aura, to be honest, Shuerha really wanted to gather the cavalry of various tribes in Wuheng, and attack Lou Annoying, in order to report the revenge of Lou Annoying people to see death and not save them, but the last time they conquered Liu Ji, the Wuheng clan lost more than 100,000 cavalry, and they were already a little broken, so Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha could only temporarily hide his hatred for Lou Annoying in his heart.

Yeluqi, the Khitan Right Rite King, calculated in his heart that he brought 80,000 Khitan cavalry, Wuheng had 50,000 cavalry, Loufu also had 80,000 cavalry, Shatuo had 30,000 cavalry, Ding Ling had 20,000 cavalry, and the White Tanning and Limo tribes were both 50,000, so there were 360,000 cavalry, which was too bad compared to his initial estimate.

If it is to attack other parts of the Jin Kingdom, the 360,000 grassland coalition army is enough to capture several counties of the Jin Kingdom, but in the face of the territory occupied by the Great Jin Jiuhu and the Di'an Army under his command, Yeluqi is a little lacking in confidence in his heart.

Don't look at Yeluqi thinks that the 80,000 Khitan elite cavalry under his command can top 200,000 or even 300,000 cavalry of the Ju'an army, but that means that the cavalry of the two sides face off head-on on the plain, if it is a siege, the 80,000 Khitan elite cavalry under his command are filled in, and it is fortunate to be able to capture one or two cities.

Now it depends on how many cavalry the three clans of Rouran, Donghu and Dangxiang who promised to join the alliance, and if these three clans can send more than 50,000 cavalry, then the total strength of the coalition army this time will also exceed 500,000.

The next day, the armies of the three clans who participated in the alliance of the three clans all arrived near the court of Wuheng Wang, but what made Yeluqi frown a little was that the three clans of Rouran, Donghu and Dangxiang only sent 30,000 cavalry, which were led by Huhelu, the right king of the Rouran tribe, Hadan Bhat, the right king of the Donghu tribe, and the right king of the Dangxiang clan, Xu Rida, the last time the three clans participated in the coalition army, and these three kings led the troops.

Rouran, Donghu and Dang Xiang Ke all belong to the nomads of the second echelon of the grassland, and now they have only sent 30,000 cavalry to participate in the alliance, and the number of troops is really a little less.

Yeluqi didn't know, Rouran, Donghu and Dangxiang clans, this time they were able to send 30,000 cavalry each to participate in the alliance, it was completely to give face to the Khitan tribe, if this time it was still an alliance initiated by the Wuheng clan, Rouran, Donghu and Dangxiang would not participate, the name of the Great Jin Dove Tiger has been too loud recently, and even the second strongest country in the Western Regions has suffered the loss of the Great Jin Dove Tiger, why do you have nothing to do to provoke the Great Jin Dove Tiger!

On April 4, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Khitan, Wuheng, Lou Fu, Rouran, Donghu, Dangxiang, Shatuo, Ding Ling, Bai Tan, and Li Mo, a total of ten grassland nomads, formally formed a coalition to discuss the destruction of the peace of the Great Jin Dynasty Liu Ji, and Yeluqi, the Khitan right king, was elected as the leader of the alliance without any suspense.

As for Wusun, Qiuzi, Ruoqiang, Beilu, Ronglu, Qule, Shule, Huhu and Kokand, the nine nomads who belonged to the fourth echelon of the grassland, did not send a single soldier to participate in the alliance, and later Yeluqi and they learned that these nine nomads belonging to the fourth echelon of the grassland had been removed from the grassland just before the alliance, and the culprit was the grassland legion of the Ju'an army.

After the end of the alliance of the ten steppe nomads, the 450,000 grassland alliance troops went straight to the Qishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains under the order of Yeluqi, the leader of the alliance, the Khitan Right Rite King.

Yeluqi already knew that Liu Ji had sent people to build fortresses at Xishankou and Weishankou in the Anxing Mountains, and Yeluqi was not ready to let the grassland coalition army attack the fortress at Xiakou, so Yeluqi chose Qishankou, which did not build a fortress.

You must know that after crossing the Qishan Pass, you will enter the territory of Languan County, Yongjing County, and Languan County at this time also belongs to the territory of Liu Ji, the dove tiger of the Great Jin Dynasty, as long as it is Liu Ji's territory, Yeluqi is ready to turn it into a ruin.

On the third day of the 450,000 grassland coalition troops departing from the Wuheng Royal Court, in the temporary camp of the grassland legion of the Jue'an army north of Xishan City, Su Lie, the commander of the grassland legion, gathered the captains of the fifteen cavalry battalions together, and these fifteen cavalry captains included Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Wu Liang, Ma Tie, Qu Tutong, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Guan Sheng, He Ruobi, Li Wenzhong, Zheng Wei and Wang Ji, and now these fifteen cavalry battalions have returned to the temporary camp of the grassland army.

Su Lie said with a solemn face: "According to the information just sent by Heishuitai, now the 450,000 coalition troops of the ten nomads have come straight to the direction of the Anxing Mountain Range, these 450,000 coalition troops are all cavalry, each of them is equipped with at least two war horses, and the baggage is carried on the back of the horse, so the enemy's speed is quite fast, if we don't leave here, maybe our grassland army will meet with the Hu people's coalition army the day after tomorrow." ”

The Hu cavalry of all ethnic groups in the grassland are equipped with a large number of mares and can provide mare's milk, which greatly reduces the logistical requirements of the Hu cavalry, and this method is also used in various cavalry battalions of the Ju'an Army.

He Ruobi frowned and asked, "Su Shuai, can you confirm the final direction of the Hu Ren coalition army?" Which gorge of the Anxing Mountains are they heading to? ”

Su Lie shook his head and said: "I can't be sure for the time being, but this commander thinks that the Hu people's coalition army will not choose Xishan Pass or Weishan Pass, if I am the leader of this Hu people's alliance army, Khitan Youli King Yeluqi, then I will choose Qishankou as the direction of the march, after all, our Ji'an army has not had time to rebuild the fortress in Qishankou, and after passing through Qishankou, the Hu people's coalition army can directly attack the four counties of Yongjing County controlled by our Ju'an army, and cut off the connection between the Western Regions and Ju'an County." ”

Yang Zaixing said loudly at this time: "Su Shuai, our fifteen cavalry battalions have more than doubled their strength some time ago, so in this way, in terms of strength, we are not too much of a loss compared to the Hu people's coalition army, it is better to directly fight a decisive battle with the Hu people's coalition army, and block them in the grassland north of the Anxing Mountains!" ”

Today, the strength of the fifteen cavalry battalions of the grassland army is not the same, like the two cavalry battalions with the largest strength, that is, the two cavalry battalions of Yang Zaixing and Wu Yunzhao, the strength of which has reached 30,000, and the strength of the other cavalry battalions has expanded the least, reaching about 20,000, and the total strength of the entire grassland army is currently as high as 350,000.

Su Lie showed a hint of a smile at this time and said: "I originally thought that this time the Hu people's coalition army could gather a million troops, then our grassland army could only carry out a sneak attack behind the scenes, but they didn't even have enough 500,000 cavalry, which gave our grassland army a chance to make a name for itself!" ”

After a pause, Su Lie continued: "The commander has communicated with the lord, and the lord has now led a large number of infantry and auxiliaries to the Qishan Pass to deploy defenses, preparing to resist the Hu people's coalition army, and the task of our grassland army is to choose the right time to give the Hu people's coalition a fatal blow!" ”

Li Wenzhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Su Shuai, what if the Hu people coalition army doesn't choose to cross the Anxing Mountains from Qishan Pass?" ”

Su Lie said confidently: "If the Hu people coalition army does not take the Qishan Pass, then it will be necessary to storm our Xishan City and Weishan City, then it will be more beneficial to our Ji'an army, the lord has arranged heavy troops to guard Xishan City and Weishan City, if the Hu people coalition army chooses other gorges in the Anxing Mountains, then the Hu people coalition army will need to take a long detour to enter the territory of Ji'an County, which will also give us enough time to readjust the deployment, but the commander is still inclined to the Hu people alliance army will choose Qishan Pass." ”

Su Lie's words made the cavalry captains nod their heads, if the Hu people alliance army does not go to Qishan Pass, it is a big deal to readjust the deployment, once the Hu people alliance army chooses Qishan Pass, then Qishan Pass is the decisive battle between the Ju'an army and the Hu people's alliance army!
