Chapter 288: War Book
Two hours later, Li Guangbi was completely stupid, and he never imagined that what he was waiting for was not punishment but this great trust, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Although the leader of the Khitan was elected, he was not elected among the eight ministries, but there was a puppet royal family, and this royal family was the Yao Ran clan, Yelu Abaoji abolished the Yao Yuan clan and launched a mutiny to skip the election step and called Han, which is equivalent to a rebellion within the Khitan, so this righteousness is actually not Yelu Abaoji.
Originally, the Southern Khitan was a lackey of the Han people in the eyes of the Khitans, and they were very hostile to each other, but An Lushan's rebellion changed this view, because most of the Khitan people's blood hatred against the Han people was actually created by An Lushan, and it was An Lushan who had been bullying them, and after he established Dayan, the grievances between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty were transferred at once.
Because of this, the Khitan people are actually dissatisfied with Yelu Abaoji's approach to destroying the Tang Dynasty, although these two are enemies, but it is obvious that the hatred of the Yan Dynasty is deeper, and the two are already the most interesting choice.
It can't be said that the Khitan people are stupid, the times are different, the concept is different, the Tang Dynasty at this time, the coercion of the neighbors has been more than 200 years, as a father for so many years, the son may have thought about running away from home, or even robbing a little something, but the idea of entering the Central Plains has never appeared in their minds at all, even the most ambitious Khitan people may not have had such a daydream, this is the biggest difference between them and Yelu Abaoji who came during the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
And this also created the necessary conditions for Li Guangbi's return, so that the Khitans did not have so much rejection and hostility towards him.
Li Guangbi, who felt the pressure, quickly cheered up, covered his chest and made the most vicious oath, "If one day I, Li Guangbi, betray the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to die by ten thousand arrows piercing my heart, and after death, the eagle eats my flesh and the dog chews my bones, and I will live forever as a slave and cannot turn over." ”
At the same time, he also wrote to his wife and asked him to go to Chang'an for the elderly, and took the initiative to put the whole family under Li Yu's nose as a hostage, and then kowtowed respectfully in the direction of Chang'an several times, and then went to select his Hexi army elite.
The Hexi Army is naturally a multi-ethnic mixed army, this is the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, except for Guanzhong, most of the nine sides are Hu generals and Hu soldiers, Li Guangbi is very sensible to select more than 20,000 Han people from them, and take the initiative to put shackles on himself, so after doing so, he took the large army back to his hometown of Southern Khitan, and Qin Hao, who knew that Yelu Abaoji was powerful, naturally took Li Yu to follow closely.
。。。。。。。。。
Khitan, at this time, Yelu Abaoji is really high-spirited, one after another Han people were sent to the grassland, which is simply a peerless treasure in his eyes, he knows too well that these Han people are powerful, the Han people are delicate, they can't withstand the wind and sand on the grassland and need to cast a city to live, they can neither herd sheep nor herd horses and have many thieves, and they have always been the most unpopular slaves on the grassland.
But if there is a gain, there must be a loss, although the Han people can't herd sheep, but they can farm the land! Not only can they farm, but they can craft the hardest armor and sharpest weapons, forge beautiful palaces, dry salt, craft all kinds of tools, and help him design all kinds of advanced civilizations and systems.
That's what he wants! He has cattle and sheep, and he can raise sheep with a seven or eight-year-old child, but the Khitan people who can do what these Han people can do can't do it anyway, and these are the hopes for the rise of their Khitan nation.
Hmph, don't you Han people often say that Hu Lu has no 100-year national fortune? Ben Khan will do it for you! When this Hancheng is built, you can not only attack back to the west and join forces with Tubo to destroy the Khanate, or you can sweep the south and sweep the land to the north of the river, and at the last time, you can also divide Youzhou and wait for our country to prosper, or unite with An Lushan to break through Chang'an and then compete with him in the world.
The more Yelu Abaoji thought about it, the more beautiful he became, no matter how he looked at this game, he seemed to have won it.
"Report~~, Khan, spies come to report, Li... Li Guangbi is here. ”
"Huh? Did the Tang army go deep into the grassland to fight us? ”
"No, Li Guangbi came back as the leader of the Southern Khitan, and... And... ”
"And what?"
"And he didn't know where to find a remnant of the Yao Ran clan, saying that you are not in the right position, and you want to re-protect the Yao Ran clan."
"Huh? Outrageous! He... How dare he... The entire clan of the Yaoran clan was slaughtered by me, even if there were any remnants who ran out secretly, but now they want people and no horses, why should they come back to compete for the throne? Just by his last name? This is a prairie!! ”
"This... Great Khan, Li Guangbi got the support of the Tang army, and this time he brought back only more than 200,000 people, but there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, and I heard that they were all elite soldiers. ”
Yelu Abao's head was dizzy, he didn't expect Tang Jun to come up with such a trick, this is to compete with him for the sweat position? "Shake his dominance? Denying the legitimacy of his khan?
I have to say that this move is too ruthless, like a heavy punch to his soft underbelly, he is not afraid of the Tang army attacking in a big way, even if there is no An Lushan and Tubo allies, with their own Khitan strength, they may not be afraid of the Tang Dynasty, but if he comes back as a Khitan one, the strength he can use is only less than 100,000 iron cavalry in his own department, and even in addition to the 50,000 leather room army he brought over, even the soldiers in his headquarters may not be credible.
Although his 50,000 leather room army is strong, but if he fights to the death with Li Guangbi and does not say that the outcome is unpredictable, even if he wins, once he has no confidence to subdue the remaining seven departments, this khan may not be able to sit still.
The grassland is always a place where the jungle eats the strong.
"Humph! In the matter of my Khitan, it is not his turn to be a lackey of the enemy Tang to point fingers, and give him an order to Ben Khan, telling him to go back where he came from, and if he doesn't return within three days, then there is no need to go back! ”
。。。。。
On the other side, Li Guangbi was like a tour guide introducing Qin Hao to the scenery, rivers and mountains, and humanities of the Khitan people, riding a horse and singing, which was also a rare comfort.
"Report~~, General, Shangxian, Yelu Abaoji sent a letter."
"Hehe, it should be a war book, don't read it, burn it."
"Yes."
Qin Hao asked, "How?" Yelu Abaoji is not a mortal, is he sure? ”
Gongsun Zhan, who had already been picked up from Liaodong, said with a smile: "I hope he will call, and let him see how powerful my white horse is righteous, and he has been in that shabby place in Liaodong for more than two months, but Fan Yang has not waited to fight, but has fought a few battles with Yuangai Suwen, and he is not happy at all." ”
Originally, Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yicong was arranged in Liaodong, and he had been preparing to clean up the battlefield, planning to attack Fan Yang from the rear and directly destroy the enemy's lair when the war in the Central Plains was slightly uncertain, but who would have thought that there would be an inexplicable extra Yuan Gai Suwen and destroy everything, as if your sharpest dagger was obviously against the opponent's heart, but inexplicably killed Cheng Cheng and bit the gold to knock your dagger away, if it weren't for Zheng Chenggong's invincible navy, Gongsun Chan would have explained.
In order to be sensible, Li Guangbi not only did not marginalize Gongsun Zhan, but on the contrary, he also made Bai Ma Yicong his own personal guard, and always put himself under the sword of the imperial court, which led to the conversation just now.
Li Guangbi smiled and said: "Unless he Yelu Abaoji is a fool, this battle will definitely not be fought, I'm afraid I will have to wronged General Gongsun, at least in a few months, we will definitely have more mouths with Yelu Abaoji than with knives." ”
