Chapter 157: A Shot to the Sky (I) 2/5
Heading into December, the weather is getting colder and colder.
This is already the coldest time of the year, maybe not as cold as the Northeast, but compared to the Central Plains, the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion can be called extremely cold.
Murong Xuanwei led the Spirit Fox Guard out of the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion, and breathed a sigh of relief.
This Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion, also known as King Xi's Tooth Tent, is located on the fertile land west of the Tuhuzhen River.
The history of the Xi people is very long, and according to legend, as early as the Yin Shang era, there are records of the Xi people. Zheng Xuan, a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once commented on the clouds: Xi, female slaves also.
There is also the word Xi Li, which refers to male slaves and female slaves.
According to the analysis of experts in later generations, the Xi people may have been a people who were enslaved by the aristocracy, and were even cast on bronze.
But by the Tang Dynasty, the Xi people gradually became stronger.
When Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, conquered Goguryeo, there was a great chief of the Xi nationality, Su Zhi, who had meritorious service. Later, his son Kedu was attached, and Tang Taizong opened the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion for him, and worshiped the Kedu envoy to hold the military of the six states, Rao Le Du, Lou Fu County Gong, and gave the surname Li.
Well, I have to say, Xi Ren's name is weird!
But when King Xi got the surname Li, the name gradually became normal.
The current King Xi's name is Li Dayu, and he is a very smart guy. In the first year of Long Live Tongtian, the Khitan rebelled, and Li Dayu rebelled, and he was in harmony with the Turks, known as the two Tibetans. He was suddenly attached to the Tang, and sometimes to the Turks. In order to stabilize the northeastern border, the imperial court was also very helpless against Li Dayu, so it could only try to adopt a policy of appeasement.
As a result, the Xi people gradually became stronger.
When Murong Xuanwei came to the Raole Governor's Mansion this time, it was naturally impossible to hide it from Li Dayu's eyes.
However, Li Dayu is also very smart. The Governor's Mansion is vast and sparsely populated. It is true that a large number of people are needed. Although the Xi people are already strong. However, compared to the Turkic, Khitan and Tatar people. There is a big gap in both population and strength. For this reason, the Xi people sometimes had to face the attack of the Khitan and the Yan people, and they also had to submit to the Turks.
The arrival of Murong Xuanwei could not change the overall situation.
But if he stays in Raole, he can be used as a bridge to communicate with the Turks, and it can also be a barrier to ridicule people. At the same time, it can also strengthen Raole's strength. Fight against the Khitans and the Tatars. As for whether Murong Xuanwei will annex Rao Le? Li Dayu was not worried at all. The reason why Rao Le is Rao Le is because he Li Dayu is stationed here.
Once the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion was annexed by Murong Xuanwei, the first one who did not agree was probably the imperial court in the Central Plains.
To put it bluntly, Li Dayu is a wall grass.
The reason why Murong Xuanwei came to the dental tent in person was also a last resort.
He brought a small 20,000 men on a long journey to Raole to build the city after the beginning of spring. Unexpectedly, there was a shortage of food. After all, 20,000 people eat and drink Lazar every day, and the amount of money they spend is very amazing. Plus the bitter cold. It is also necessary to have something to protect from the cold. At the end of November, supplies in the camp. It became a shortage.
In desperation, Murong Xuanwei thought of Li Dayu.
He could go to the Turks to borrow food, but Black Sand City was far away from Raole, and far water could not quench his thirst. What's more, it is easy to borrow food from the Turks, but it will be very painful when it is returned. It was a bunch of beasts that ate people and didn't spit out bones.
The Turks could not honor the guards, and the Khitans were even more impossible.
Murong Xuanwei had no friendship with the Khitans, so how could he borrow food?
As for the Immortals?
Zuo Rong, that guy isn't necessarily much better than Mo Si. Moreover, Murong Xuanwei also had to face the same problem as the Turks, that is, from Raole to Dongmu Mountain, the distance was equally long, what about the road? I'm afraid it's more difficult than going to the Turks.
In contrast, only Li Dayu is the best to speak.
In fact, it also proved that when Murong Xuanxuan came to visit, Li Dayu agreed to his request without hesitation.
It's just that Li Dayu demanded that once the Xi people start a war with the outside world, Murong Xuanwei must help.
In this regard, Murong Xuanwei just couldn't ask for it.
The two hit it off, and the rest became easy.
After receiving the material support from Xi Ren, Murong Xuanwei's mood was also very good. He led the Spirit Fox Guard on the way back to the paddock. As a courtesy, Li Dayu also specially led people and horses to escort Murong Xuanwei for a distance.
"Past the Parrot Island in front of you, you can see our camp."
Murong Xuanwei saw that he was about to arrive home, and his mood suddenly improved.
He reined in his horse, pointed to the vast snowfield in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Let's urge the horses to whip up, and strive to eat and drink in the camp tonight." ”
Behind him, the Spirit Fox Guards shouted in unison in response to Murong Xuanwei.
The war horses galloped, raising up the snow and dust in the sky.
The group was about to reach the end of Parrot Island, and the outline of the camp could already be vaguely seen in the distance, and they couldn't help but feel like arrows.
At that moment, a fast horse blocked the way.
"It's General Murong in front?"
Murong Xuanwei hurriedly reined in his horse and recognized that the other party was wearing the clothes and armor of the Jingnan Army, presumably his own subordinates.
But judging by the voice, the man didn't seem to be very old.
The knight stopped when he was still some distance away from Murong Xuanwei and said loudly: "General, the camp has been attacked by the Khitans. ”
"What?"
Murong Xuanwei was startled and urged the horse to take two steps.
However, he immediately reined in his horse, and looked him up and down about a dozen paces from the opposite horseman.
"Who are you?"
"His humble name is Mu Yi, and he obeys orders under the tent of the left leader."
The leader of the left army is the establishment set up for his subordinates after Murong Xuanwei's rebellion.
Because the number of soldiers and horses had increased somewhat, and he was worried that the Turks would misunderstand, he simply abandoned the military system of the Tang Army and set up left and right leading forces. This is the military system that was determined after Murong Xuanwei arrived at the paddock, and outsiders will not know.
But for some reason, Murong Xuanwei did not let his guard down.
He stared at the opposite knight, and suddenly laughed: "Ignorant child, what kind of person dares to coax General Ben?" ”
"What did the general say about this?"
"Although I don't know all of Gao Wei's subordinates, I know all the names that can be called.
But you, I'm a very stranger...... What's more, you have a Changping accent, don't think you can hide it from this general! Someone, take this spy down on me, I want to see who is so bold as to come here and deceive me. ”
With Murong Xuanxuan's order, the Spirit Fox Guard behind him immediately stepped forward.
When the knight saw this, he did not show any panic.
He raised his hand and took off the big gun, and his crotch suddenly burst out, and he was about to pounce on Murong Xuanwei.
"Good horse...... Hey, you're Sumire Folgon's mount? ”
Murong Xuanwei recognized at a glance the origin of the knight's crotch mount. No way, the horse is too obvious.
He was dressed in shiny black hair, like satin.
And a pinch of golden hair on the top of the head is extremely eye-catching.
This is the favorite sweaty horse of the leader of the room, Sumire Folgon, named Hulei Leopard. Murong Xuanwei couldn't help but urge the horse to take two steps forward, with a surprised expression in his eyes. And at this time, the knight was already surrounded by the Spirit Fox Guard.
