CHAPTER XXV
Are the Khitans scary? This question should be asked to the people in the northwest who have been beaten by the Khitans. The organizational form of the Khitan army www.biquge.info is a bit strange, it is not a complete grassland people, and it is not a form of professional soldiers in the Central Plains.
Since the rise of Yelu Abaoji, the Khitans have begun to change. They learned some advanced culture of the Han people in the Central Plains, and also appointed Han people as officials to reform the official system.
However, one thing has not changed, the Khitans did not have food and grass before the expedition, and everything was prepared by themselves. Where can there be so much army grain and grass in the grassland, since it is self-prepared, it can only be robbed.
The Khitan army organized cavalry to fight the grass valley, and searched the villages day and night for military needs. The unlucky ones of the Khitan people are always those farmers who dig in the soil, and the little grain that is left after a year of hard work and paying the rent is also tightly eaten by themselves, and the Khitan people have even snatched away the iron pot.
The price of iron tools on the grassland was more expensive than that of horses, and in this way, the border people were ruined and kept fleeing to the Central Plains. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Khitans to fight the grass valley, and they can only continue to go deep into the hinterland, relying on the advantage of their cavalry's good mobility, coming and going like the wind, grabbing a handful and running, and the local warlords have no way.
Moreover, the Khitans had a huge advantage over other nomadic peoples in the northwest, they had a strong central government, unlike the Dangxiang and Tubo people, who were loose tribes, and the internal struggle was very fierce.
"Brother Jin, Zhang Gong said that you should go to fight the Khitans?" Luo Ermeng was very nervous, he was born in Lingzhou, he encountered too many things in the grass valley, not only the party members and the Tubo people, but also some other barbarians who don't know what tribe they were, these individualized barbarians are all ferocious and abnormal, not only robbing things, but also robbing the population, and the fate of the people who were robbed in the past is naturally very tragic, which makes the border people grit their teeth when they hear the Khitan party items, but they are helpless.
"It's not good to say, I don't know what Zhang Gong means, the Khitans just have an intention to go south, as for when, I don't know very well. However, the Khitan army did not need its own grain and grass to go south, and the soldiers and horses gathered quickly. ”
"That's good, that's good, the Khitans are really not things, burning, killing and looting, I heard that they also eat people." Luo Ermeng seemed to breathe a big sigh of relief, as long as the Khitans have not come, they will be able to stay stable for one more day.
"When the Khitans come, I will go into battle, are you willing to go with me?" Wang Jin knew what they thought, after all, it was not easy to survive in the troubled times, who didn't look forward to the peace of the world!
"This ......" Luo Ermeng hesitated for a moment, and looked at Wang Jin with some embarrassment.
"I haven't married a wife yet, if I am killed by the Khitans, my family will be doomed." Luo Ermeng is the only son in the family, and both sisters are married.
"Okay, Brother Chen, what about you?"
"I'll go with you, although there is still an old mother at home, it should be safe in Lingzhou, and I can be considered complete in this life. People in troubled times are not as good as dogs, if you don't fight in battle, fight for the future, this life is in vain. Chen Feng didn't care, and after speaking, he glanced at his apprentice Luo Ermeng contemptuously.
Luo Er's face flushed suddenly, like a big tomato, unable to speak.
"Hehe, Ermeng is also in trouble. Well, if there is a war, if you don't go with me first, I have one more thing to ask you for. ”
"Hey, Brother Jin just said, as long as I Luo Ermeng can do it, I will definitely agree." Luo Er patted his chest and slapped the package ticket.
Chen Feng was more steady, he expected that the matter that Wang Jin explained must be a big deal: "You might as well talk about it first." ”
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I have a brother and a woman in Yanzhou, and now I don't know that I'm coming to Jinyang, and I ask you to help bring them here."
"It's not difficult, but when you get to Yanzhou, how do you make them believe that I'm here to pick them up?" Chen Feng is really an old Jianghu, and he thinks about things very carefully.
"This is simple, I will give you a token, as long as I show it to my brother, he will understand, I am writing a letter for you to bring to Yu'er, it is the Yu'er in the former Lingzhou Qinglou, you should know."
"It's really a blessing to enter the brother, that jade is really beautiful and fragrant, a rare wonderful thing in the world." Luo Er's eyebrows fluttered and he praised.
Wang Jin was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't like the woman who others called him so, but he still held back, a woman like Yu'er in this era has always been looked down upon by the world.
Subsequently, Wang Jin made it clear that Yu'er and Li Zhuzi agreed with him to meet at the same place, and explained Li Zhuzi's physiognomy and characteristics, but when it was his turn to write a letter, it was difficult to write, this era is written in traditional characters, and the writing format is also very particular, and what he wrote Yu'er may not be able to understand, and he can't remember the traditional characters very clearly.
In the end, I went to the temple and found a person who wrote a letter to the family to write a letter on behalf of the family, and the natural content was very regular, and there could be no intimate words.
After the matter was explained, Wang Jin asked the two of them not to go out for the time being, and to rest for a few days, after all, they had just experienced a long journey, and they would not be able to bear it when they went far away.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Zhang Gongfu to meet me, and by the way, I will also inquire about the form of Jinyang, this Li Cunmiao's mind is much bigger than Han Xun's, but there is no need to worry about anything." Wang Jin said to Chen Feng, only Chen Feng understands something here, and Luo Ermeng is simply stunned.
"King Jin's ambition is not small, if he is not mistaken, he will be able to achieve a great cause in the future!" Chen Feng said very surely, which made Wang Jin look down on him again, after all, there are not many people who can see the general trend clearly in this era, and there are only some reckless people who only know how to fight and kill.
"Yes, Zhu Wen and King Jin will have a battle, but I am optimistic about King Jin. Since the old thief Zhu Wen gained power, he has become more and more arrogant and indulgent, and he is good at killing meritorious officials, and the people below are very dissatisfied with him. Several of his sons are also very intrigued, and I think Zhu Wenjiye will lose sooner or later to these uncompetitive sons. There is another sentence he didn't say, Zhu Wen didn't even let go of his daughter-in-law, can his son have no resentment in his heart? Sooner or later, he will have to break with Zhu Wen, of course, this is all an afterthought, and the benefits of crossing.
"How did Brother Jin hear about this?" Chen Feng was very surprised, communication was inconvenient in ancient times, and many things could only be spread all over the world for several months, and the credibility of the content was still questionable, and the people who could clearly know these things were generally high-level feudal towns, and they had their own details in Bianliang, and they could contact them at any time. ”
Wang Jin was speechless for a while, they have a way to answer this kind of question, they can't say that they have crossed over from the future! I had to make a haha and flicker.
Chen Feng felt that Wang Jin was unfathomable, and he could even know such secrets, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Okay, let's go back and rest first, and tomorrow I will go to Gong Zhang's Mansion to make plans." Wang Jin waved his hand and took the two of them to the inn.
