Chapter 472: Khitan
Untrained riding horses, in peacetime use and can, but on the battlefield of Jinge Iron Horse, the sound of gongs and drums, shouting and killing, especially the sorrowful sound of countless war horses before the temporary, is a huge test for riding horses.
Therefore, in the face of the collective charge of thousands of troops of the Hun tribe, Aru Buhua was completely tragic, and the horses under the crotch did not listen to his command at all, so they turned the horse's head and rushed to the back, and at this time, because the forward battalion completely collapsed, the Chinese army behind the forward battalion was making defensive preparations.
With an arrow through his heart, Aru Buhua died in the hands of his own people so unwillingly.
"Bastard thing."
At this moment, Ashide Yuanzhen seemed to have accumulated ruthless anger in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't vent it, and he couldn't even find the object to vent, so he could only spit out these four words to describe his mood.
..........................
The war on the grassland is in full swing, and Duan Jian, who is located in the Khitan territory, is also engaged in another battle without gunpowder.
"The foreign minister visited the county king, but he didn't see him for a few days, and I don't know how the county king considered the request made by the foreign minister."
In the Governor's Mansion of the Song Desert, Duan Jian asked after saluting a Khitan nobleman.
Although the Khitan has a long history, because the previous forces were relatively weak and the tribes were also extremely scattered, therefore, there has never been a unified leader.
Brother Dahe took advantage of the continuous disputes between the East and West Turks on the grassland at that time, and silently led the Khitan tribe to gradually silk the grasslands around it, although he still did not turn the entire scattered Khitan tribe into a huge tribe, but nominally, he still unified the entire Khitan together, and the Eight Alliances turned the Khitan that was previously scattered into a union in disguise.
Relying on this rough association, the Khitan slowly developed, to the Tang Taizong period, the entire grassland was occupied by the Tang Dynasty, the Turks who once dominated the grassland were completely wiped out by the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan also got great benefits from it, at the same time, seeing that the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, the Dahe Cave Brother is gradually moving closer to the Tang Dynasty, and even when Tang Taizong attacked Goguryeo, the handsome soldiers followed the Tang Taizong to march together, so the behavior was recognized by Tang Taizong, and finally officially canonized him as General Zuo Wuwei.
Soon after, the Khitan was even more because of the attachment, Tang Taizong ordered the Khitan to be the governor of the Songdesert with the Khitan Department, and even canonized the Dahe Cave Brother as the first Governor of the Songdesert, and at the same time he was also the general of the left leading army, the male of Wuji County, and gave the surname Li. In the Gaozong period, he was canonized as the general of the left guard, the assassin of Danhan Prefecture, and the king of Shun County, which is also the reason why Duan called him the king of the county.
With so many names and the support behind the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan tribe was able to have a huge occurrence in a few decades, and the population increased from more than 100,000 to 300,000, which can be said to have doubled, and there were countless cattle, sheep and horses.
Then, after the death of Brother Dahe Cave, his tribal leader and official position were inherited by his grandson, Dahe Ku Moli, and the Khitan nobleman in front of Duan Jian was Da He Ku Mo Li.
Hearing Duan Jian's inquiry, all the hair on the top of his head was shaved off, leaving only a circle of hair around him, and he hurriedly went up to help Duan Jian up, and said with a smile on his face, "Your envoy is really too polite, to be honest, my Khitan can have today's prosperity, all of them are the gifts of the Tang Emperor, my Khitan people pay the most attention to commitment, my grandfather once swore to the Heavenly Khan, my Khitan tribe will be loyal to the Tang Emperor, and for this matter, the sky thunder and thunder can not die well, and can no longer get the gift of God, It's just that this matter is too big, and I can't decide it alone, so please forgive me. ”
Now the Turkic army is marching towards the Tiele Tribes, although the Tiele Tribes are struggling to resist, but the Tiele Tribes want to resist the killing of the Turkic army, I am afraid it is extremely difficult, and our Tang Dynasty army because of the relationship of time, if you want to go out of the pass to attack the Turkic army, it will definitely be too late, for today's plan, only to ask the county king to send troops, we and the Tiele tribes to unite with the Turkic army, carry out front and back flanking attacks, so as to completely defeat the Turks, The grassland is also peaceful. What do you say? ”
Listening to Da He Kumo's cookie-cutter excuse for delay, Duan Jian couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, but at this moment, under such circumstances, he could only force people to be angry and try his best to persuade him.
"Hey, hey, the king understands what your envoy means, it's just a matter of my Khitan tribe, your envoy should know, although I am the leader of the entire Khitan tribe, but I don't have the right to decide, everything has to be discussed by the adults of the eight departments, unanimously agreed, and can be carried out, your envoy came too hastily, although Xiao Wang has sent someone to invite the rest of the extremely adults, but this world is too urgent, there are still extremely adults who have not come, it is better like this, as long as the rest of the extremely adults come, Xiao Wang will definitely ask them to give your envoy an answer as soon as possible, you see. In the face of Duan Jian's persuasion, Da He Ku Moli was neither anxious nor annoyed, and still persuaded with a smile.
"I don't know when the rest of the adults will need to arrive, and I ask the king of the county to give the ministers a deadline, so that the ministers can be prepared." Duan Jian didn't bother to persuade him, and asked directly.
"This ........."
Hearing Duan Jian's question, which seemed to be a persecution, Da He Kumo was also a little annoyed, but thinking of the importance of this matter, he still replied angrily, "Within five days, Xiao Wang can guarantee that the adults of all tribes will come, and he will naturally give your envoy an answer when the time comes." ”
"In this way, thank you to the king of the county, and the minister will retire."
Now, if it weren't for the interests, the two would probably be fighting, since the Tao is different, there is nothing to say, hearing the last time given by Da He Ku Moli, Duan Jian didn't bother to say anything to him, and left.
"Hmph, what a stunned young man, he doesn't even have any patience, he still dares to come to our Khitan to be presumptuous, if it weren't for the fact that he still has some use value, he would have been broken and sent out to feed the wolves."
As soon as Duan Jian left, a voice came from the back of the house, accompanied by a cold snort, and immediately, he saw a group of seven people slowly walking out from behind.
If it is a Khitan or someone who is familiar with the upper nobility of the Khitan here, he will definitely find that the seven people who suddenly appeared are not ordinary Khitans, but the adults of the other seven tribes who are still in the field of Dahe Kumoli's mouth, but now they have appeared here one by one.
Before the Dahe Alliance, the Khitan was known as the ancient eight divisions, but after the Dahe Alliance, they formed a new eight according to the territory divided by the Tang Dynasty, namely, the Daji Department was stationed in Qiaoluo Prefecture, the Absolute Department was stationed in Danhan Prefecture, the Duhuo Department was stationed in Wufeng Prefecture, the Fenwen Department was stationed in Yuling Prefecture, the Sudden Department was stationed in Rilian Prefecture, the Ruixi Department was stationed in Tuhe Prefecture, the Falling Jin Department was stationed in Wanten Prefecture, and the Fubu Department was stationed in Pili and Chishan Prefectures.
Among them, the Daji Department is the tribe where Dahe Ku Moli is located, and it is also the most powerful tribe in the entire Khitan Eight Tribes, with 20,000 troops, and the rest of the tribes have more than 10,000 troops and more than 3,000 troops.
It was no one else who spoke just now, it was the adult of the Duhuo tribe, Duhuo no longer lived, the Duhuo tribe in the entire Khitan tribe, although the population was shot in the back, but the combat effectiveness of the tribe was the most powerful, every time the Khitan tribe fought with outsiders, the leaders were the warriors of the Duhuo tribe, which also developed the extremely arrogant character of the Duhuo tribe.
"Hahaha, don't be angry, young people, or officials of the Tang Dynasty, it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant, we should all understand this, don't talk about him, even if it is a young man in our tribe, which one is not ambitious, as if no one in the world is his opponent except God." After hearing the words of Duhuo's resignation, Da He couldn't help but laugh.
"That's it, Lord Duhuo, we are here today, we are not angry with a kid, we are here this time to discuss big things, you don't know the priority!" The adults of another tribe spoke.
If the Duhuo tribe is the sharp sword of the entire Khitan people, then the Rui Xi Department is the brain of the Khitan people, and the Rui Xi Department is called the smartest fox by the Khitans, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Rui Xi Department that the Dahe Alliance has gradually developed and grown.
And the person who spoke just now was the adult of the Rui Xi tribe, Rui Xi Zhi.
Just like smart people and barbarians, barbarians have always thought that they are the most powerful, and smart people always think that there is nothing in the family that wisdom can't do, and Duhuo and Rui Xi are like this, and it is precisely because of this that within the Khitan, these two tribes are extremely incompatible, if it weren't for the existence of the Dahe clan, I'm afraid the two tribes would have fought a long time ago.
"Okay, don't be verbose, let's talk about the feasibility of this matter, after so many days, the spies we went to investigate have returned, according to the information obtained, the Turks have an army of 250,000 and hit the Tiele people, of which 200,000 are the elite of the Turkic Great Khan Ashina Guduolu, and the remaining 50,000 people are also the elite of various tribes." Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Da He Ku Moli hurriedly stopped him, and at the same time turned the topic to the main topic.
"What, two hundred and fifty thousand troops, this ......... This, how is it possible, haven't the Turks been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, how can there be so many soldiers, it can't be fake! ”
After hearing Dahe's words, the rest of the tribes couldn't help but be startled, you know, the entire Khitan eight tribes, in addition to the Dahe tribe has 20,000 elite warriors, the remaining seven tribes are less than 10,000 troops, and there are only more than 50,000 people when they are full, of course, this is the elite who can really fight on horseback, if even the men under the age of fifteen and over forty are counted, they can barely get together 100,000 people, but as soon as that comes, the entire Khitan tribe is not far from extinction.
"Of course it's not fake, besides, although the Turks have been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and even the tribes and royal courts have been destroyed, it doesn't mean that all the Turks have disappeared, for decades, there have been no major wars on the grassland, and several generations of grassland people have risen again, and it is not surprising that Ashina can pull together an army of 200,000." Da He Ku Mo Li shook his head and said.
"But,..... However, if there are so many Turks, what use can we use with our people, even if we launch a surprise attack, I am afraid it will only have a certain impact on the Turkic army, and when they really come to their senses, they will definitely not let us go. ”
A tribal lord said with a little fear on his face.
"Of course, what I just said was the strength of the Turks, you know, what they want to attack is not us, but another tribe on the steppe, the Tiele people, although the Tiele people are more scattered, but they are not vegetarians, especially in the Tiele tribes, there are also big tribes like the Hui Hui, according to our spies, this time in order to deal with the Turkic army, the Tiele tribes gathered the warriors of various tribes and formed a coalition of 150,000 people, which was agreed to be commanded by the Hui tribe, how about it, now you can rest assured!"
"Hoo ........."
Hearing Da He Kumo's words, several tribal adults breathed a sigh of relief, although it sounds like the strength of the Tiele people is much less than that of the Turks, but as long as you know a little about war, you know that the war is never the side with the largest number of people will be able to win, and when facing life and death, what kind of combat power will the 150,000 Tiele warriors take revenge on, that is no one can imagine.
"Hahaha, it seems that the good days of our Khitans are coming, this time the Turks and Tiele people are attacking each other, if we Khitans can choose a good time to cut into, I am afraid we will achieve unexpected benefits." Rui Xizhi couldn't help but laugh.
"You old immortal, what are you laughing at, don't you understand, no matter who wins or loses between the Turks and the Tieler, we can only join forces with the Tielers to attack the Turks, otherwise, why would the leader leave this Tang envoy behind, not to ask for some benefits from the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing Rui Xizhi's words, Duhuo on the side couldn't help but retort.
"Uh-huh........"
Hearing that he was no longer living alone, all the tribesmen looked at Da He and Mo Li.
"Yes, this time I decided to join forces with the Datang and Tiele people to deal with the Turkic army together, which is the main reason why I came to you to discuss." Oha Ku Mo Li said.
