Chapter 58: Who's Dumber Than Whom
The Khitan army was expected by He Daxian and sent 5,000 horsemen to invade the Shenchi Valley.
The commander who led the army was Yelu Lihu, who destroyed Huanzhou six years ago, slaughtered and plundered tens of thousands of people and countless materials, and was later named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses by Yelu Deguang.
Yelu Lihu is the third son born to Taizu Abaoji and Empress Chunqin, and is also the younger brother of Yelu Deguang.
This person is cruel and cruel in nature, has a very low IQ, has a very big temper, carves words on people's faces at every turn, or throws people into the pot and boils them when they are unhappy.
In He Daxian's opinion, this guy is purely a mentally handicapped guy with half cerebral palsy.
Why is this so?
This is to find the answer from the inbreeding customs of the Khitan royal family, which are extremely strange and famous in history.
Do you know what the relationship between Taizu Abaoji and Queen Chunqin Shu Luping is?
Their mothers are sisters!
In other words, these two couples are actually cousins, close to each other, and gave birth to a total of three boys and one girl.
Although the relationship between the two looks strange, in that era, the Khitan people were flourishing and the destiny of heaven could not be violated.
God favors the Khitans, and the eldest son Yelu Bei and the second son Yelu Deguang are both wise and brave, both civil and military, and they are good at both war and politics, at least much more powerful than the Han emperors and Shatuo emperors in the Central Plains, and thus laid the foundation for the Great Liao Dynasty to be the world's first power and the foundation for more than 200 years!
But after all, the probability of science always exists, and the first two sons born to these two cousins are so good, but the third son Yelu Lihu is not so colorful, which also confirms some scientific principles in the dark: this kid's brain is not very good!
In fact, Yelu Lihu is not the most bizarre, and the later royal marriage of the Great Liao Dynasty is even more unbearable.
In addition to giving birth to three sons, Empress Chunqin also gave birth to a daughter, the famous Princess Zhigu.
Do you know who Princess Shigu marries? Married to her maternal uncle Xiao Muru, that is, the younger brother of her mother, Empress Chunqin!
This is the quadratic of inbreeding.
Before it was over, after Princess Zhigu and her uncle got married, they gave birth to another daughter named Xiao Wen.
Then, the point came, this Xiao Wen later married her uncle Yelu Deguang and was named queen.
It's so complicated, a little bit of reasoning, Xiao Wen's mother married Xiao Wen's grandmother's younger brother, and after giving birth to Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen herself married her grandmother's son, her mother's brother, and her own uncle.
Got it?
Xiao Wen, Empress Xiao, this is another very famous Empress Xiao in history in addition to Empress Chunqin.
See clearly, here is already the cubic of inbreeding!
If nothing happens, it will really violate the laws of natural science!
Therefore, the son born to Xiao Wen and Yelu Deguang is called Yelu Jing, who can basically be said to be a mentally handicapped person, and unfortunately became the fourth emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, Liao Muzong. "Indulged in wine, insatiable hunting", "rewards and punishments are disorderly, and the government ignores the government", and finally became the most famous faint monarch and tyrant of the Great Liao Dynasty......
A few overlaps between the pros and the pros, the scientific probabilities gradually accumulate, and the emperor of the Liao State in the future will not be able to look at it.
It is also from Yelu Jing that Emperor Liao is not as stupid as the generation, and the generation is more stupid than the next, there is no stupidest, only more stupid.
The world's largest power, the Great Liao State, gradually declined, and was later overthrown by the Jurchen Jin Dynasty, and all the Khitans were either killed or enslaved, and the once glorious and great Khitan nation has since dissipated in history.
Of course, that's after the canonical history.
At this time in 936 AD, the general trend of the Khitan nation was still extremely prosperous, and it could not be stopped.
God bless the Khitan, this sentence is not just talking.
Although Yelu Lihu was born insufficient, missing a few tendons in his head, and his rotation speed was a little slow, he was born with infinite strength, and his horizontal kung fu was unparalleled in the world, and he was known as the third among the top ten Khitan heroes!
What is the concept of the Khitan Top Ten Heroes ranking third?
Yelu Ruan, whom He Daxian met last time, was ranked ninth among the top ten Khitan heroes, and was beaten away by Yelu Ruan in one round, if it weren't for the cheating treatment with immortal skills, he would have died a long time ago. If this ninth-ranked Yelu Ruan goes to have a heads-up with his third-ranked uncle Yelu Li Hu, let alone one Yelu Ruan, even if three Yelu Ruan go together, they will be beaten away by Yelu Li Hu with a stick, and they have no power to fight back at all!
In front of ordinary people, Yelu Lihu is simply an invincible god and general!
However, strange characters usually have some strange living habits.
Yelu Li Hu loves to sleep! If there is no major emergency, you must sleep a full sixteen hours a day before you wake up. In addition, this person has a very strong taste, especially likes obese women. This time to the south into the customs, the rebellion to the Jin army of the Yunzhou infantry commander Sang Qian to his liking, last night out of nowhere to get two giant Shatuo women weighing more than 300 pounds sent over, happy Yelu Li Hu grinning big mouth can't close, the whole night in the two big lumps of meat in the snap, snap, snap until the hands and feet are soft, almost dawn to go to sleep satisfied.
Therefore, in the early morning when the commander was still asleep in the meat pile, Yelu Lihu's deputy, Zuo Weiwei's general Yelu Sachai, temporarily undertook the task of attacking Shenchi Valley and chasing down the Tang army.
Jeruzac's ancestor was a Uighur, originally a domestic slave in the family of Jeruzahu, who served Yelu Lihu from an early age, and was deeply appreciated by Jerulihu because of his cleverness and ingenuity.
Of course, with such a fool as Yelu Lihu, everyone is smart and clever, and we will skip mentioning it here.
In addition to being "smart and clever", Yelu Zac's other ability is personal force, known as the tenth of the top ten Khitan heroes, ranking just behind Yelu Ruan.
Whether you are smart or not is a matter of opinion, but if you are promoted to the top ten heroes of Khitan, that is a real skill. Moreover, Jeruzacius followed Yelu Lihu to fight a hundred battles in the south, and he had extremely rich battlefield experience, and Yelu Lihu also trusted him very much.
The first time the Khitan cavalry appeared in front of Shenchi Pass was about eight o'clock in the morning.
The sun had risen very high, but it was obscured by the high mountains on either side of the canyon, and only half of the ground at the bottom of the valley could be illuminated.
Half of the ground was bright, half of the ground was shady, and there were a few mountain rats sneaking out of their burrows to see if the sunlight reached the entrance of his house.
But after the thousands of Khitan cavalry drove in, the flags were unfurled, the dust was flying, everything changed, no one paid attention to the position of the sun anymore, and the air was filled with the strong smell of horses and the sullen and bloody smell of the Khitans. Even the dozen or so Tang Army archers who were originally lying in ambush on the mountain and preparing to ambush them by the way and give the Khitans a dismount were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated into the bushes, and did not dare to risk trying to shoot a few arrows.
Jeruza cut a round face, a big head, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, domineering side leakage, a vest-style all-iron cuirass, wearing nothing inside, the majestic Hong biceps muscles were so naked that he didn't even wear a helmet, and his long braids were casually draped behind his head, and the whole person looked quite arrogant like an ancient steppe hero.
Riding on a tall black horse, with a brown cloak draped behind his back, he held a handful of one hundred and eighteen pounds of thistle terrestris.
The Iron Bone Duo is a weapon that is even more bizarre and ferocious than the long-poleed mace, and it looks like a large pineapple is strung at the end of the long pole. Because the center of gravity is too strong, it is difficult for ordinary people to use it well, but the master uses it differently, the angle is tricky, the speed is so fast, and it is easy to catch his way if he reacts a little slowly.
Jeruzachel was at the head of the procession and stopped three hundred meters from the tower of the pass.
The city tower and stone wall in front of him are still the miserable appearance that He Daxian saw yesterday, and dozens of Tang soldiers sneakily dodged on the city tower, holding bows and arrows and looking at the Khitan cavalry army in Wuyang in a panic. The gate of the city tower was smashed by He Daxian with a stick yesterday, and this morning I found a farmer's door out of nowhere, and I casually tied it with a rope, which looks more decorative than practical.
Jeruzachel rode on his horse and watched silently for a long time, and then laughed.
This is not because he was careless, Jelu Sacius followed Yelu Lihu in the Yanyun region for many years, and fought many times with the Han army, which is really too much.
The Han people are a very strange people, if it is really a very important Xiongguan Pass, they really give full play to their skills and abilities, then they can really be called an impregnable wall, unbreakable.
But if it is some relatively minor or remote cities or passes, it is difficult to say, nine times out of ten they are tofu scum projects.
Without him, the Han people love money, and the Han people are officials for money.
In a place like Shenchi Pass, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not a traffic artery, do you say that the officials here are honest and not corrupt?
All the money allocated by the imperial court was used for the construction of the pass?
Fool you? Do you believe it?
Whether you believe it or not, Jeruzachel didn't believe it anyway.
He turned his head to look at the thousand-man captain "Little General" Wu Lizhen who was following him, and pointed to the strange city gate with iron bones in his hand.
"Wow!" ——
Today I have a severe cold and a splitting headache, and there is only one change, so don't wait.
