Chapter 90: The City of Kedun

Wuliang Suhai is the name of later generations.

Wuliangsu, in Mongolian, is the transliteration of Uriyasu, which translates into Chinese as 'the place where the red willow grows'.

In fact, the later Wuliang Suhai was formed around 1400 AD. At this time, Wuliang Suhai is still a low-lying land covered with red willows. The Hetao area is most suitable for growing red willows, so there is a saying that 'burn red willows and eat white noodles'. This red willow forest covers an extremely vast area, covering an area of up to 300 square kilometers, and at a glance, it is full of red willows swaying.

The city of Kedun is located on the bank of this red willow forest.

But speaking of which, the city is not big!

Just think about the origin of this city of Kedun, and you can come up with a big difference. It was originally a military village, but later changed to a military town. For a long time, even abandoned, and only later reactivated, how big can its pattern be?

The actual population of the city is about 30,000.

A large part of them are members of local nomadic tribes...... The walls are very high, but they are also very dilapidated, and if you look at them, you can see that they have not been repaired for many years. In some places, there are even collapses......

When Yu Yin saw this city, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Originally, it was thought that this military town, at least from the outside, should at least retain the atmosphere of a military town. But now, it looks like it's just a dilapidated town. With this town, can it really resist the iron cavalry of the Jurchens? Yu Yin was very skeptical.

But there is no way, this is also the only town under the rule of Da Liao that is completely under his control!

"Many years ago, the city of Kedun was abandoned.

If it weren't for the diversion of the river, which made it impossible to continue to use the original Tiande military office, it might not have been moved to Beicheng. ”

Yu Liyan explained to Yu Yin softly, with a hint of helplessness in her words.

The Great Liao Kingdom, just like the Kedun City in front of you, has reached the point where the candle is broken in the wind?

If she wants to prosper Da Liao, she will have to put in more effort! Well, Xiao Yi said that the Ba Lasha Yan and my Da Liao Tongzong are worth considering. But if it was not possible, they had no choice but to abandon the city of Kodun and march westward...... Perhaps Nassi can become a good choice, at least there, to temporarily hide from the Jurchens.

Xizhou, which included six cities, including Zhangbali, Beiting, Qiuci, and Yizhou, was originally part of the Gaochang Uighur settlement. However, with the decline of the Uighurs in Gaochang, Xizhou became terra nullius and is now extremely chaotic.

But there's no denying that the Western State is a great choice.

In the east, there is the Western Xia as a barrier, and in the south, there is the Huangtou Hui to hook up with Tibet, which is a relatively independent and closed area. If you can take the city of Kedun without advertisements in the whole text, you may not be able to withstand the attack of the Jin soldiers, but it is not a problem to take Xizhou.

Well, as long as you take Xizhou, you can get a respite.

It is impossible for the Jurchens to stay in the Tiande army for a long time, and when they turn their attention to the Great Song Dynasty, it will be the opportunity for the rise of our Great Liao.

Yu Liyan's mind is delicate, far from being comparable to Yelu Xi's mud lie.

The most important thing is that she has a sense of crisis, an extremely strong sense of crisis, far farther than Yelu Xi Nilie.

Thinking of danger in times of peace, although Yu Liyan has not yet controlled Kedun City, she has already begun to think about her next move.

At this point, Yelu Xi, who has been in high spirits since he crossed Mu Na Mountain, and even a little carried away, is far less sober than Yu Liyan's brain. However, now that he has not yet controlled Kedun City, Yu Liyan quickly retracted his thoughts.

In the distance, the gate of Kedun City was wide open, and a team of Liao State Iron Cavalry, led by two Liao State officials, was lining up to greet them.

"Xiao Yi, you have to be more careful."

Yu Liyan glanced at Yu Yin again, and then urged the horse to catch up with Yelu Xi Nilie.

Yu Yin got off the horse, and beside him, Mar Husi and Kutu Heitai stood on both sides, quietly watching Yelu Xi Nilie and the others ride away.

"Brother Xiaoyi, where should we go?"

Yu Yin took a deep breath and smiled at the two of them, "Let's go into the city, and when we enter the city, it will be clear." ”

Malhus was silent!

After a long time, he spoke again: "Brother Xiaoyi, the fourth prince, they ...... I don't seem to care about you. ”

"Hehe, the fourth prince is the prince of a country, and he worries about national affairs.

I wait for the promotion of the small people, where can I get into his eyes? Okay, don't think about it so much, let's go to the city, we have to find a place to stay. As for the future, the princess has to bother, so we still have to be patient now. ”

As the three of them spoke, they led their horses to the city of Kedun.

At this time, Jerusi Nireel was already under the city and the soldiers and horses of the city of Kedun were united.

From a distance, His Excellency the Fourth Prince swept away his earlier embarrassed appearance, and the whole person seemed to be high-spirited and extremely proud.

The people who greeted Yelu Xi Nilie were the two henchmen of Yelu Yanxi, who stayed in Kedun City and Tianzuo Emperor.

One is Xiao Qixue, and the other is Po Likuo.

For the arrival of Yelu Xi Nilie, the two were also very welcome. But in my heart, it is also very strange, why didn't the fourth prince go to meet His Majesty, but came to this Kedun City? However, out of respect for Yelu Xi Nilie, the two did not ask too much. It's just that after greeting Yelu Xi Nilie outside the city for a while, he hugged Yelu Xi Nilie into the city!

"Xiao Yi!"

Seeing that no one greeted him, Yu Yin was also a little embarrassed.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone call his name, so he looked up and saw Xiao Xiao coming to the three of him with a horse.

"The fourth prince has already arranged Xiao Yi's residence, please let Xiao Yi go with me."

"Already arranged?"

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sneered in his heart.

If Yelu Xi Nilie really had this heart, then it would not make Yu Liyan make up her mind to take control of Kedun City......

Come to think of it, this should be Yu Liyan's arrangement.

Didn't Yu Liyan say before that if there was something, she could ask Xiao Xiao to help.

It's just that Yu Yin is a little strange in his heart, when did this Xiao Xiao join Yu Liyan? Look at his attitude, very affectionate. And since Yu Liyan asked him to greet him, it also shows that he has a lot of trust in this Xiao Yaohe.

The children of the official family, the means are really clever!

I'm afraid that even Yelu Xi Nilie, including Yelu Xinilie, would not have thought that this Xiao Xiao would be Yu Liyan's person.

"Then there's Brother Lao."

"Haha, Xiao Yi is polite, they all serve the lord, how can you say that you have to work?"

Xiao Xiao laughed heartily, then turned over and dismounted, and walked into the gate of Kedun City side by side with Yu Yin. The area of this city is not large, and the urban layout is very simple. The main structure still follows the cross pattern of the Tang Dynasty, with two main roads, one horizontal and one vertical, dividing the city into four areas. The west, for the people, is mostly where some civilians live; The eastern part is a commercial district, and although it is not prosperous, it is still lively. After all, Kedun City is located in the northwest border of Daliao, and it connects Mobei and the Western Regions at the same time, so there are not a few merchants in the past.

To the south is the military town of Kotun City, where the government offices of Kotun City are concentrated, except for the three school yards; The northern part is also a commercial area, where most of the military posts and inns of the city were built for passing merchants.

Overall, the pattern of Kedun City is not large, but although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs.

Along the way, the whole city looks clean and tidy......

Xiao Xiao's words were full of affection.

When he didn't say 'working for the lord', he seemed to deliberately bite the pronunciation of 'lord', and Yu Yin knew it in his heart.

He was reassuring himself, and at the same time telling himself that this was Yu Liyan's arrangement.

"Big brother, I have something I want to ask."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Yu Yin hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Lin Ya Dashi is now being locked up in this Kedun City by His Majesty?" ”

Xiao Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, glanced left and right, and said softly: "This is indeed the case." ”

"Where is the Linya Dashi being held?"

"I don't know...... Xiao Yi asked Lin Ya if there was something wrong with Dashi? ”

"Uh...... I want to ask him for some private matters. ”

"Well, I'll go back and ask about it, but it will take some time. As you know, I've just come to Kedun City, so it's not good to be too ostentatious. And Lin Ya Dashi's identity is quite sensitive, so it's hard for me to speak. Tomorrow, Xiao Qixue's son will invite me to eat and drink, and I will find another opportunity to ask him about the situation. In these two days, Xiao Yi had better be more careful. ”

As soon as Xiao Xiao said this, it immediately attracted Yu Yin's attention.

He looked at Xiao Xiao Yaohe in surprise, but saw Xiao Xiao Yaohe and said in a low voice: "During the First World War of Jinhebo, the princess heard that you were trapped on the south bank, so she boarded the boat and went to the rescue...... Because of this, Qu Tulu is quite dissatisfied with you, and there are often provocative words along the way. When he entered the city, Qu Tulu also said to people that he wanted to find an opportunity to find trouble for you, so be more careful. ”

Qu Tu Law!

It's this tutu again......

Yu Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this Qu Tulu has not yet gained a firm foothold, and he is going to be jealous, which is really a troublesome character.

He understood why Xiao Xiao wanted to remind himself.

Qu Tulu is the young master of Sticky Bage, and Sticky Bage is not too far away from Kedun City...... Yelu Xi Nilie also hopes to use the power of sticky eight gee to complete the great cause of restoring the country, so once he and Qu Tulu have a conflict, Yelu Xi Nilie will never stand on his side. And Yu Liyan only arrived in Kedun City, even if she is the princess of Shu, she is not the protagonist after all. So in a short period of time, Yu Liyan may not be able to give Yu Yin much practical help.

Besides, didn't Yelu Xi Nilie still want to use Yu Liyan as a price in exchange for Mu Bage's support for him?

Thinking of this, Yu Yin couldn't help but feel a little headache.

What a big problem!

I didn't expect that I hadn't realized this historical variable, but I had to get involved in a jealous storm first......

Yu Liyan reminded him to be patient and patient.

Xiao Xiao also reminded him to pay attention to the law of Na Yelu and Tulu.

It seems that this Jerukturu is ready to come to him for trouble......

Yu Yin couldn't help frowning, for no reason in his heart, he was upset for a while, and at the same time, there was a faint hint of murderous intent.

If this Qutu law is really going to cause trouble, what should it do?
