"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled through the grassland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Feng rode a "heavenly horse" tamed from the Tianshan Grassland, and stared blankly into the distance. At this time, a military order came from the front, saying that the Talu River was not far away, and the whole army stopped to rest and let the horses eat some forage.

In late autumn, only near rivers and blisters can there be green forage. Fortunately, the Khitans were inspired by the Han people and learned to bring their own forage, even dry forage is better than nothing. War horses are the main source of Khitan people's combat effectiveness, and if the war horses are closed, the Khitans will not be able to exert two stops of combat effectiveness.

In this march, Xiao Feng was only a vanguard general, and he did not have the power to control the overall situation. And this time it is not to go to war, who would dare to fight before winter is coming? Let's get impatient!

This time, the troops sent to Yue Liji were just to deter the Tunguska people on the other side of the White Mountain and Black Water. Speaking of the Jurchens over the years, they have really become more and more rampant. not only circled most of the mature and Jurchen, but even dared to go deep into the hinterland of Liao. Previously, the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan guarded Yue Liji, as if it was a virtual existence. This is good, the vassal country Goryeo came to complain, Yelu Hongji saw that the Goryeo country was very knowledgeable, and sent gold, silver and beautiful women, so he waved his hand and sent Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of Beifu, with 100,000 soldiers and horses to replace Yelu Chongyuan to guard Yueliji.

This kind of guard is more of a deterrent. There are not many Jurchens, and the soldiers of all the tribes combined, I am afraid that there are not more than 100,000 people. The Khitan army of 100,000 is enough to deter them. Yelu Hongji is the emperor of Liao after all, and he still has some military knowledge. He gave Xiao Xulie a secret decree, as long as the time is right, take a look at the weakness of the Jurchens, and let these Tunguska savages know the power of the Khitans.

Of course, winter is coming, and the Khitans are not familiar with the deep mountains and old forests, so naturally they will not provoke the Jurchens at this time. But after the beginning of spring the following year, the situation was reversed. Although Xiao Xulie is old, his temperament is as fierce as his name. If he can't shrink like Yelu Chongyuan, it is even more uncomfortable than killing him. If the Jurchens were still as unscrupulous as before, it was foreseeable that they would suffer a big loss.

But now the Jurchen Youchang is Wanyan Wugunai, who is an old fox like Xiao Xulie, so can he be fooled so easily? Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was not a general in command, so he thought too much.

At this time, the Taru River was already in sight. The vanguard stopped and began to dismount to receive water with water bags. The army of 100,000 was mighty, connected into a line with no end in sight. After the vanguard had fetched water, they prepared to continue their journey to Vietrigi.

When Xiao Feng was about to get on the horse, a voice came from behind: "Xiao Xianxian, Xiao Xianxian, Dashuai will let you go over." ”

"Oh, got it." Xiao Feng stepped onto his horse, waved his horsewhip and ran towards the Chinese army behind.

With full of suspicion, I saw Xiao Xulie under the wolf. "Dashuai, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Xulie rode on a horse, his golden helmet covered his gray hair, but his already wrinkled face couldn't hide the vicissitudes of life. Xiao Xulie is tall, even if he is old, his height on horseback is similar to Xiao Feng's.

Xiao Xulie's eyes couldn't hide his appreciation: "Xiao Feng, this time His Majesty sent you as a pioneer, tell me what you think?" ”

Xiao Feng's understanding of the Jurchens is not under anyone, and he said directly: "The Jurchens are my Da Liao's henchmen, if they are not eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that they will become a big disaster!" ”

Xiao Xulie sighed and said, "That's true. Our Daliao and the Central Plains have opened a field to communicate with each other. Even recently, His Majesty has also indulged in the culture of the Central Plains and has no intention of practicing martial arts and hunting. Alas, for a long time, the elite soldiers on whom our Great Liao relied to build the country may have lost their courage in comfort. And the courage of the Jurchens is no less than that of my Khitan. If one eliminates the other, the Jurchen will become a confidant. In addition, they are capricious, repeatedly harassing our northeast Liao, plundering cattle and sheep people, it is really hateful! Xiao Feng, what strategy do you have to catch the Jurchens in one go? ”

Xiao Xulie is worthy of being a famous old fox, even if it seems to be a simple question, there are hidden mysteries in it. The Jurchens are scattered in the white mountains and black waters, where is it possible to catch them all? The people who live on water and grass, live on fishing and hunting, if they can't beat it, they will run, and the Khitan army will be twice as much, and it may not have killed all the Jurchens. Xiao Xulie's tricks are actually to compare Xiao Feng and see if this "Khitan No. 1 Warrior" with the same surname is worthy of his reputation.

Xiao Feng's mind was always sober, and when he heard Xiao Xulie say this, he frowned slightly, and said: "The number of Jurchens is close to one million, and among the tribes, there is no shortage of Khitans. With only 100,000 troops, it is impossible to catch them all. Handsome, with all due respect, Xiao Feng said bluntly. To deal with the Jurchens, it is the best policy to fight and kill, supplemented by lure and surrender! ”

Xiao Xulie listened, high-fived and said: "Okay, you are worthy of being the first warrior of my Khitan, and your knowledge is extraordinary." To tell you the truth, I thought so too. It's just that I'm old and weak, and it's up to you as the first warrior to charge into battle. Alas, if I had been ten years younger, I would have been able to compete with you! ”

Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Xulie's burly body like him, and he really believed this. It's just that Xiao Xulie has always been famous for leading troops, and he is also outstanding in political affairs, but he didn't expect that he also has extraordinary attainments in martial arts.

Xiao Feng listened to such bold words, and also aroused great ambition: "It is the grand wish of a Khitan man to pacify the frontier for me!" Even if it is a horse leather shroud, it is the way that a husband should die! ”

Xiao Xulie nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, don't look at the prosperity of the Central Plains, it's a cup of poison." Even if my Da Liao occupies such a territory, I can't manage it. Now with the import of goods from the Central Plains, some people have become greedy for comfort and pleasure. The current Dashun seems to have been revitalized, but when the little emperor grew old, he changed to another emperor, and he still remembered the days of hardship? Therefore, the enemies of the Liao Kingdom are always the same kind of people! ”

When Xiao Feng heard this, he felt that it made sense. The martial arts of the Jurchens, he has already seen it, and in terms of brute force, it is even more powerful than the Khitan soldiers. It's a pity that there is no leading figure, but there is a complete Yan Wugunai on the side of the Jurchen. This two-faced villain is one of the most hated people in the Liao Kingdom. He first pretended to accept the official position of the Liao State, and then took advantage of the righteousness to recover the Jurchen tribes. When his power grew, he secretly tricked some Khitan people who didn't know the inside story to graze on the territory of Nuzhen. After being discovered, he simply broke away from the Liao State and became independent. Later, Liao Xingzong drove the expedition in person, and Wanyan Wugunai attached himself again. Later, most of the mature and Jurchen were bewitched, and Wanyan Wugunai had grown in wings and gradually became the biggest scourge on the northeastern border of Liao. In terms of threat, the Jurchens were much larger than the Han Chinese. The Han people only relied on the city to defend it, and had no ability to attack. The Jurchens were so aggressive that they were torn off a piece of flesh if they weren't careful.

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "What the big marshal is worried about, Xiao Feng can't do." If there is an order in the future, Xiao Feng will definitely charge ahead! (To be continued.) )
