A Buddha car slowly marched eastward, at this time the war in Mobei had broken out, and the Tang army would no longer carry out the action of blocking the news, when the large army passed, the small tribes around that were not levied by the Khitan were all far away, of course, there were also some scattered herdsmen, and the Tang army was frightened to see the actions of the Tang army from afar. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)-

However, the Tang army did not attack them, and when the solemn Buddha car approached, the car Dharma seat was awe-inspiring, and the Buddha statue scriptures of the Buddha curtain seemed to have a calming power. Mobei also has Buddhist roots, and some herdsmen saw it and knelt down to pray from afar.

"That's a living Buddha, a living Buddha from the Western Soil!"

I don't know when it started, but this rumor began to circulate among the herdsmen.

――――――――――

Hundreds of miles away, outside the valley of the Handara River, fierce fighting had ended for ten days. At this moment, there were only two people left in Shi Ba's big tent, one was Shi Ba and the other was Chai Rong.

Shi Ba's eyes drooped, looking at his rough fingers, as if he was thinking about something, there was silence in the big tent, and Chai Rong didn't dare to speak first.

"Do you really think this baye is reliable?" Shi Ba finally set his eyes back on Chai Rong. There was also a sense of consultation in his eyes.

"I was just with him for a while, and this reunion didn't have much time to get along." Chai Rong didn't dare to speak to Shi Ba in an argumentative tone like just now, he thought for a while before he said: "So I don't dare to say how much I know about his character, but I think I can grasp his temperament." ”

"Oh? What is his temperament? Shi Ba asked.

"The untamed nature of the wolfdog!" Chai Rong Road.

"Wolfdogs? The wolf still dreams of being free, even if he starves, but the dog eats meat and bones, but he doesn't even have bones, and he eats. Shi Ba smiled: "Then this Baye, is it a wolf or a dog?" ”

"Not tamed yet. It's a wolf, tamed, it's a dog. before the flock. It's a wolf, and in front of a tiger, it's a dog. Chai Rong said: "The governor is a tiger, so." In fact, we don't need to be afraid of his rebellion at all - if he rebels again, there will be no good fruit to eat when he reaches the Khitan. ”

Shi Ba smiled and said, "I thought you were friends with him, but I didn't expect to speak so politely." ”

"There are public and private matters, private matters. He and I have been through the same hardships, but private matters may as well be public! Chai Rong said: "What's more, this expedition to Mobei is for the century-old cause of China, and in the face of this great righteousness, any small kindness and small righteousness must be put aside." ”

Shi Ba said again: "But this dog has not been tamed yet, can you tame him?" ”

Chai Rong said: "Since I recommended him, then I naturally have to keep an eye on him, if he has two hearts in the future......"

"How?" Shiba did not raise his voice. But the tone has become harsh.

"Then I'll behead him myself. Serve to the saddle of the governor! ”

Shi Ba was silent again, this time, Chai Rong didn't wait for Shi Ba to speak, and continued: "Originally, if we have time, we can also reorganize Ba Ye and his men again. After grinding in the rear barracks for two or three years, he will naturally integrate into us. But now. It's not necessarily the best for us. ”

"Why?"

"When the last general was in Luntai, it was rumored that the marshal was going to use troops against the Khitan." Chai Rong didn't answer and asked: "Governor." Can you tell me a little bit, this time, we are advancing into Mobei, whether we want to conquer or contain? ”

Shi Ba was not a man with a deep city, but at this time he said something that was misty: "Conquest? Or is it containment? Hey...... It is also conquest, but also containment. But all in all, we're not going to just go back and go. ”

Chai Rong pondered Shi Ba's words for a while before he said, "If the governor intends to be in Mobei...... Then the captives cannot be killed. Baye can't even be killed. Mobei is huge, thousands of miles from east to west, thousands of miles from north to south, and unlike the Central Plains, every state and county has a central town to be found. In the Central Plains, or in the middle of the river, we can advance along the way, occupy a town, and be one point closer to victory. But in Mobei, the enemy can flee if they are defeated, and when we are gone, they can come back. And it is impossible for our troops to occupy all the land that passes through, so even if we have fought 9,900 li of land, and only the last 100 li is left, we may have no record at all. It will not end until you kill all the people in Mobei, or conquer the hearts of the people in Mobei. ”

Shi Ba understood what Chai Rong said. The cavalry troops composed of the herdsmen of Mobei, they originally lived in the desert grassland, fought when they fought, and grazed when they did not fight, which made them almost have the strategic mobility to meet Ke'an in Mobei, and it was easy for the Tang army to win one or two battles, but it was difficult to occupy Mobei.

Chai Rong continued: "A few days ago, although we won a battle, it could be a good thing or a bad thing - if the Khitans heard the name of the governor and all of them were broken into pieces and hid, then we couldn't help them at all. There is no Chang'an in Mobei, and there is no Central Plains, so they are not worried about losing their land temporarily. ”

Shi Ba nodded and said: "Yes, even if it is the town of Zhenzhou, where the Khitan Northwest Envoy is located, if we approach and the Khitan has no chance of winning against me, they can give up at any time." ”

"But as soon as we leave, they will come back again, and so on and forth, and winter will comeβ€”and when winter arrives and we have not defeated their main force, then we will be finished."

"Then what do you think ......" Shi Ba said, "what should we do?" Don't occupy the land, but try to kill all the people in Mobei? Exterminate all their tribes? After he finished asking, his eyes were fixed on Chai Rong's eyes to see how he answered.

Chai Rong didn't hesitate much, and said: "The people of Mobei can't be killed. Even if we win by force this time, killing him with a mountain of corpses and a pestle of blood, Mobei still can't conquer. ”

"Why?" Shi Ba asked again.

"Because the biggest problem in Mobei is not the strength of the force, but the problem of living."

Chai Rong's sudden words made Shi Ba really surprised: "It's ...... Live? ”

In the tent, one is a world-famous fierce general, the other is a newly rising young general, and the two of them are discussing military strategy on the front line of this battlefield, and the phrase "living a life" suddenly pops up, no matter who they are, they will feel nondescript.

But Chai Rong did not flinch from Shi Ba's surprise - it was obvious that what he was about to say had been thought about by Ping Suli, otherwise he would not have dared to speak so openly in front of the majestic Si.

"The biggest problem in Mobei is the problem of living. It's too poor and too bitter here. It's too cold, too. The Central Plains, even if it is Ganzhou, Suzhou, Youzhou and Zhou. The water and soil are also much better than here. Not to mention metropolises like Chang'an, Luoyang, Chengdu, and Yangzhou. "Chai Rong said: "From the people of the Central Plains, regardless of male and female generals, they can survive short-term battles, and they can endure three or two years." But if you want to stay there for a long time, everyone finds it difficult to accept. If there was a choice, no one in the Tang would voluntarily live here. Today we are fighting here at the call of the marshal, and that is no problem, but we can wait until the war is over. How many generals are willing to stay here for a long time? Even if I am myself, I want to return to the Central Plains. Most of the soldiers will choose to go to the Central Plains, or a fat place like Qiuzi, and will not be willing to stay in Mobei to live this bitter cold day. ”

Shi Ba listened to Chai Rong's words and did not show disgust, but he did not nod either. It seems like just listening.

"Therefore. The fundamental reason why the Tang people could not rule Mobei for a long time was not because they could not be conquered by force, but because the Tang people were unwilling to live here. Even if we rely on swords and horses to kill Mobei today, but then? It is impossible to be empty for a long time, and there will always be people who thrive here. Today we are killing people. Years later, tribes will still pop up. Not to mention. I have never heard of someone who can kill the people of the north of the desert. If we kill endlessly, we will kill today. will inevitably sow the seeds of hatred and trigger a counterattack by the Hu people a hundred years later! ”

Chai Rong plucked up his courage and continued: "So, can we move some people from the Central Plains over? Not necessarily. Because the people who have moved over will not be able to survive if they are weak, the cunning ones will definitely try to escape back to the Central Plains, and the resolute ones will choose Huhua -- because only Huhua can survive in this land that is as bitter as a snake and as cold as a knife. It is precisely for this reason that all the places conquered by my Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, such as Bashu, Jiangdong, and even Lingnan, have been gradually sinicized into anointed lands, and the combination with the Central Plains is getting closer and closer. In the Western Regions, such as Qiuci and other places, because of the fertile oasis, there are also Han people who are willing to live in peace. Only Mobei, since the Qin Dynasty, has never been truly united with our Han family. ”

"So what?" Shi Ba asked.

Therefore, his subordinates thought that in this Mobei campaign, it was difficult to conquer the land, and it was difficult to exterminate its people. Since it is impossible to exterminate the human race with swords and horses, the only way to eliminate its calamity is to use good laws. ”

Chai Rong said and spoke, his face began to flush a little, but it was caused by excitement, but when he said this, he suddenly felt that his words seemed to be a little out of line, thinking that he was only a lieutenant after all, but he was talking about the century-old chaos in Mobei in front of the dignified governor, and he was afraid that he would be laughed at by the other party.

Unexpectedly, Shi Ba seemed to be very interested in his words, and even showed a little surprise in his eyes, he groaned slightly, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Chai Rong, I know that the marshal once communicated with you, and in the letter he gave you, how much did he reveal about the situation in Mobei?" ”

Chai Rong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, knowing that most of what he said just now was secretly in line with Zhang Mai's strategic plan, otherwise Shi Ba would not have said such a thing.

He hurriedly said: "The marshal didn't tell me about Mobei's strategy, but he told me a little about Mobei's human feelings. ”

"I see." Shi Ba smiled and said, "Then it's no wonder. He did not appreciate or deny Chai Rong's exposition just now, but said: "What you just said, although it is secretly in line with our long-term layout, our part of the army is actually just a vanguard army, and there is a large army behind to continue. ”

Chai Rong said: "The subordinates think that the land in Mobei is vast and cheap, and we have not many soldiers, if we divide our troops to stay in every place, and then go thousands of miles forward, there will be no soldiers available for the battlefield, if we do this strategy, the Khitan does not need to fight with me, as long as we retreat two thousand miles, clear the wilderness, we must retreat without a fight." Therefore, instead of occupying the land, it is better to fight for people! ”

"Fighting?"

Chai Rong said: "Yes, fight for people, fight for tribes." The Khitan rule in Mobei was not monolithic. The tribes are subjugated to them, but they are only afraid of their intimidation, and if we can show our strength over the Khitan and show our sincerity to win them over, there should be many tribes who will take refuge in us. Now, we've already done the first step, so the next thing we're going to do is not to kill people. Rather, it is annexation. We don't want these tribes to be absolutely loyal to us, as long as they turn against us. If we swallow one tribe, the Khitan will have one less tribe. If we are stronger, the Khitan will be weaker. After this trade-off reaches a certain level, we will replace the Khitan and become the new leader of Mobei! Until that time. The Khitans can't hide even if they want to. They even have to come and go to war with us. ”

Shi Ba groaned: "I really can't see that you are so young, and you have thought so much. However, the Khitan foundation in Mobei is intertwined, with marriages and deterrence. There are rewards and coercions, and they cannot be disintegrated after one or two victories. And unless we show our flaws, it is really easy to force the main Khitan force to come out and fight with us! ”

In fact, Chai Rong's thinking is precise and far-reaching, there is no second person among the forward generals of the Eastern Expedition to Mobei, Shi Ba has a good impression of him, and after hearing these words, he was secretly amazed, but Chai Rong is too young after all. Lack of self-confidence. When Shi Ba said this, he was a little stunned in his heart, and couldn't help thinking: "Alas, although Shi Dudu is not famous for his strategy, he must be a pillar and the governor of the whole army." I pointed out the grand strategy in this way, and I am afraid that he would have thought of it a long time ago. This is really ugly. ”

Unexpectedly, Shi Ba was thinking: "Before leaving, the marshal sent someone to send a message. He once said that the purpose of this Eastern Crusade was to 'liberate Mobei!' Bring Dharma and civilization to this barbaric land! Although I didn't understand this at the time, Xiao Chai Rong's thoughts seemed to be somewhat in line with the marshal's thoughts. Then he thought: "This kid is in the valley of the Handala River, he has made the right decisions several times, and he dares to make dangerous moves, and he is obviously not a guy who talks about the army, he has brains, can actually fight, and acts and has an appetite for me, there is such a talent, why not use it?" ”

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Although it is still a long way to force the main Khitan force to come out and fight a decisive battle with us, your thinking just now is correct. As pioneers, let's do what you just said. ”

Chai Rong was overjoyed and said, "That Baye ......"

"I believe him again," said Shi Ba, "and I will give him all the captives I have captured this time, more than 3,200 people, and I will give them all to him as the vanguard of our army." Of course, if he can control it. ”

Chai Rong was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Those thousands of captives, most of them are miscellaneous tribes, and it is not difficult to control this group of people with the ability to pull out the wilderness." But ......"

What he fought for just now was to exonerate Ba Ye, but he didn't expect Shi Ba to dare to make such a decision in the blink of an eye - to hand over thousands of prisoners to him! From the brink of death to such decentralization, this trust span is inevitably a little larger.

Shi Ba said: "Since he has this ability, and you vouch for him, I trust him!" ”

Chai Rong hurriedly said: "Trust can't be excessive, even if the governor is willing to use him, at least he has to find someone who can suppress him." ”

Shi Ba said: "You are more familiar with the general of the orphan army than me, you recommend one." ”

Chai Rong thought for a long time, but couldn't say who he was.

Shi Ba said: "Aren't there any? ”

Chai Rong said: "Now the generals in the army, if you want to say that you can suppress Baye, he will not disagree, unless it is ......"

"Who?"

Chai Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally straightened his chest and said, "Me!" ”

When Shi Ba heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

――――――――――

Outside the big tent, Baye remembered the ants like a hot pot, and the generals also looked forward to it, wondering how the governor had talked to Chai Duwei for so long. It was half an hour before I saw the guards come to pass the word,

The generals re-entered the account and gathered, and everyone was a little curious about what the governor and Chai Rong said just now, and Baye was especially nervous, knowing that his life and death would be decided at this moment.

But Shi Ba did not promote the wild, he ordered the merit Cao to discuss the meritorious deeds, the meritorious soldiers were rewarded, and the outstanding people were all promoted, and the generals were all happy, and they forgot about the wild for a while.

Shi Ba finally ordered Gong Cao to take out a volume of the letter of appointment that had been signed and stamped by the center, but it was still empty and the name was still empty, and called: "Chai Rong listened to the seal!" ”

When Chai Rong heard this, he stepped forward, and Shi Ba said: "You are in the Handala River Valley, you have made a correct judgment, brought back the soldiers of the four provinces, and saved thousands of elites of our army, such a merit is already not small." After coming out of the valley, Yelu Ruan was captured alive, which was the icing on the cake. ”

As soon as the generals heard this, they knew that Chai Rong was going to be promoted, and they all cast envious glances, and the lieutenant and deputy lieutenant who had been lost in the valley of the Handala River all congratulated in unison.

But he heard Shi Ba say: "Now, I will promote you to Zhonglang General." ”

Chai Rong was overjoyed and said, "Zhonglang will ...... This...... The promotion of the middle of the general, the consent of the center is required. ”

"This time. I have the power to seal the general. Shi Ba smiled: "The generals you brought out of the river valley should all be under your command in the future, you can screen them." Leave the wounded to me, and I will increase your soldiers and horses, and give you two spear houses, making up six houses. It is under your command, and the wild is under your control. From now on, you will be my former army. As a striker, I give you the right to arbitrary! ”

The generals were all taken aback, although they thought that Chai Rong would probably be promoted after this meritorious service. But I didn't expect it to rise so fast!

The rank and rank of the Tang Army, from Du Lieutenant to Zhonglang General, is a huge gap, because if you go, you are qualified to be called a general! As long as the captains of the Tang Army are not dead in this battle, most of them have made great achievements, but no one dares to think of being directly promoted to Zhonglang. And Chai Rong actually rose!

I didn't expect Shi Ba to delegate such a big force.

Shi Ba's arrangement is not just as simple as promoting his rank, it is simply handing over a small half of his military power to him. In the future, won't Chai Rong become the second person in the vanguard army of the Eastern Expedition?

Even if it's Chai Rong. I couldn't help but be a little flattered, and said in amazement: "Dudu, I'm afraid this won't work...... I'm young and ......"

"What young and senior," Shi Ba waved his hand and said, "An Shouzhi is considered senior, what is the result?" My age. It's not much bigger than you, and it's still the only one to lead the army! It was originally lost in the four provinces of the Handara Valley. You brought it out, and I can see that they have turned to you. There are these four provinces as the foundation. Give you two more mansions, you say it yourself, do you dare to take over? ”

Chai Rong's surprise and incomprehension only lasted for a short time, and was soon replaced by excitement and passion, the age of the generals of the Tang Army was already low, from Zhang Mai to Yang Yi to Guo Luo to Shi Ba, and they were not big when they became famous in the first battle, so Chai Rong listened to Shi Bazhi's question, and he didn't want to say proudly: "Why don't you dare!" ”

Shi Ba said: "In this case, don't take the order yet!" ”

In the envy of the generals, Chai Rong knelt down to receive the military order and the general flag, and Shi Ba made another action that everyone was stunned - he actually untied his saber and said: "You are indeed not very old, but your ability and military exploits are enough to be more than enough to be a Zhonglang general, but if someone despises you because of your seniority, you can use this sword to punish him for the crime of contempt of officials!" ”

In the infinite envy of the generals, Shi Ba handed over his horizontal knife to Chai Rong, and ordered the commanders and deputy captains under Chai Rong's direct command to see the new division. The old and new captains and deputy captains of the four prefectures who came out of the Handala River Valley all obeyed Chai Rong, and the lieutenants and deputy lieutenants of the two spear mansions did not dare to slack off when they saw Chai Rong's new and powerful power.

Ba Ye next to him was stunned, and couldn't help but think: "Chai Boss is rising so fast!" If I hadn't been a horse thief back then, I would have followed him to join the Tang Army, and today I don't know how famous he is. ”

As soon as his belief changed, he found that Shi Ba had already looked at him, and Ba Ye was nervous and worried, but he heard Shi Ba say: "Your life, General Chai just saved your life and future for you." In the future, you will also be under the command of General Chai. ”

Ba Ye was happy at first, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he was grateful to Chai Rong again, and he was also the same as the captains, and he saw Chai Rong before.

Hu Zhen and others who advocated killing the wild were all dissatisfied, but since the governor had already made a decision, it was difficult for them to twist again.

Shi Ba said again: "As for the matter of the captivity...... he was about to give the order, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, Shi Ba frowned, Hu Zhen hurriedly went out for a while, and came back and said: "It was something that happened in the prisoner camp." ”

About ten days ago, after the end of the war, Shi Ba used a fence to trap thousands of disarmed and disarmed prisoners, and when he heard that the captives had changed, everyone's faces changed slightly.

Shi Ba didn't speak, and motioned for Chai Rong to deal with it, and Ba Ye jumped out and said, "Is there a rebellion?" General, I'll go pacify! ”

Hu Zhen said: "It's not a rebellion, it's that among the captives, I found that a person was suffering from a serious disease." Due to the poor living conditions in the prisoner camp, all the prisoners were crowded together for food and shelter. The captives didn't know it at first, but it wasn't until today that the man became ill that the matter was broken, and now it seems that someone has been infected, so some people in the captive camp have to rush out to avoid the disease. As soon as the news spread, the entire captive camp was agitated, so there was a clamour. ”

When the generals heard this, they were even more frightened than they had thought the captives were rebelling, and they were shocked and said, "This evil disease is contagious? Could it be the plague! ”

――――――――――――

By the time Shi Ba was rewarding his merits, Yelu Ruan had already been sent to the rear by a group of cavalry.

The escort of Yelu Ruan turned out to be a personal soldier sent by Shi Ba, which shows the importance he attaches to Yelu Ruan.

In the prison car, Yelu Ruan was extremely depressed. Not long ago, he was so high-spirited, not just thinking about winning a battle and making a name for himself. even coveted the throne of the Khitan Emperor. But at this moment, everything has become a thing of the past, and even if it is defeated on the battlefield, it has even become the pride of the Khitan tribe, a prisoner of the order. There is no way to support a former prisoner of war as emperor.

Yelu Ruan's future suddenly became extremely bleak.

The escort team finally arrived, and Shi Ba's personal soldiers handed him over to Shi Jian.

Yelu Ruan was a person with great ambitions, so he inquired about a lot of military information about the Tang Army. At this time, after entering the army, he looked closely with cold eyes, and was surprised to find this army from the details such as armor, swords, helmets, and horses!

"Could it be...... It's the Long Xiang Army! This...... How is this possible! ”

Long Xiangjun is Zhang Mai's personal soldier, and Zhang Mai should be in the south at the moment to hold on to Yelu Deguang, how can he appear here?

"Or ...... Am I mistaken? Or is the Tang Army playing tricks? ”

By this time the sun had sunk in the west. The leader of this army personally interrogated him, and when Yelu Ruan saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to Shiba, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" ”

Shi Jian laughed and said, "You were caught by a small stone in front, me, I'm a big stone." ”

"Big rocks? Small stones? ”

"The small stone is Shiba, and now that he is a big official, he has become a governor." Shi Jian smiled: "I am his own brother." But he didn't have any chances. ”

Shi Jian's fame is far less than Shi Ba's. But Yelu Ruan searched for the information about Shi Ba in his head, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I remember, the iron beast Shi Ba has an elder brother, and I heard that he is still Zhang Mai's personal guard. This...... Could it really be the Dragon Xiang Iron Armor Army! ”

Shi Jian smiled: "Ouch, you found out, that's right." This is the Dragon Warrior Iron Armor Army. ”

Yelu Ruan's body suddenly trembled, and he didn't know if he was afraid. Still excited, or both: "Long Xiangjun is really here...... That Mai ...... He's here too? ”

Shi Jian's face was pale. And did not answer. Suddenly, a monk came in and whispered a few words to Shi Jian, Shi Jian nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." ”

"Are you going to see Zhang Mai?"

"It's not." Shi Jian said: "But that person, you should recognize." ”

――――――――

The distance of several miles seemed to be thousands of miles away in the heart of the apprehensive Yelu Ruan.

If it's Zhang Mai...... Of course, Yelu Ruan had no intention of giving in, but he really couldn't figure out how Long Xiangjun could appear here!

If Zhang Mai is also here, then the Khitan's estimation of Tiance Datang is all wrong!

Under the moonlight, there was a tent, and in the darkness it was difficult to distinguish the original color of the tent, perhaps yellow, or brown, except that the tent was embroidered with Vajra, and the long banner erected outside the tent was embroidered with Buddhist scriptures, and the night watchman at the tent door was not a soldier, but two monks sitting cross-legged - it looked like a place where a monk lived. How could just a monk come here?

The dim light peeked through the tent, and only one person could be seen sitting inside.

Shi Jian only delivered it to the tent door, then untied Yelu Ruan's shackles and said, "You go in by yourself." ”

Yelu Ruan's mood had settled down at this time, and he said coldly: "There is only one person in it, aren't you afraid that I will kill Zhang Mai?" ”

Shi Jian smiled and said, "The marshal is not inside. As for the people inside...... You shouldn't be so mad. So saying, he left.

With uneasiness and doubt, Yelu Ruan still sneered, and without glancing at the two monks outside the tent door, he opened the tent door and enteredβ€”at this moment, he regained the domineering that a prince should have.

Sure enough, there was an old monk sitting in the tent, the lights were dim, and he couldn't see his face clearly for a while, but it was already certain that it was not Zhang Mai, Yelu Ruan sneered again, sat down opposite the old monk with his knees crossed, and said coldly: "Bald donkey!" I'm going to see what you do! ”

The old monk opened his eyes and said in an incomparably pure Khitan dialect: "Vulture, when did you become so rude?" ”

Hearing this voice, Yelu Ruan was shocked! Through the light, he stared at the person in front of him in disbelief, his breathing gradually became thicker, and suddenly the whole person jumped up, pointed at the old monk and shouted, "Impossible! No way! How can it be! How can it be! ”

He screamed wildly, and in the still night alarmed the horses outside the tent, but there was no sound around him except the neighing of the horses, and even the two monks outside the door were as deaf and dumb.

The old monk said: "When things come together, there is a law of cause and effect, and when karma meets, nothing is impossible." ”

At this time, Yelu Ruan had already seen the old monk's appearance clearly, listened to the words again, recognized the accent, and recalled the tone in his memory, and finally couldn't help but say: "You are the father?" Are you really the father? ”

The old monk smiled slightly, and said, "Poor monk Zanhua." ”

Yelu Ruan knew about Yelu Bei's renunciation, so he no longer had any doubts, threw himself at the feet of the old monk, and cried out in mourning: "Father! It's really you! You...... How did you end up here! Did Zhang Mai kidnap you? ”

Zanhua smiled slightly, reached out and touched Yelu Ruan's hair, and said: "When the poor monk was in Lianglan, he was even worshiped and revered by Marshal Zhang, where did he say that he was held hostage? This time, I came by myself, but I didn't expect to meet you here. I think it's because of the fate of our father and son. ”

"You're coming?" Yelu Ruan said suspiciously: "If you want to come, Zhang Mai will let you come?" ”

Zanhua said: "Not only that, Marshal Zhang also specially sent Long Xiang Iron Armor Ten Thousand Horsemen to escort the poor monks here. ”

Yelu Ruan frowned and said, "What about Zhang Mai?" He himself came? ”

"Are you going to ask for information from the poor monk?" Zanhua said: "In front of the poor monks, do you still have the heart to calculate? ”

"The child doesn't dare." Yelu Ruan bowed his head.

When Yelubei was in exile, Yeluruan was already fourteen years old, and he had already established a fear for his father in his heart, and he had been relying on Yelubei's hope to gather the remaining forces in the clan all these years, so he did not dare to ignore Yelubei's authority from the outside or from the depths of his heart.

Zanhua said: "Actually, if you want to ask, ask directly, the poor monk can know everything about you, but you don't have to play tricks in front of me, and there is no need." ”

Yelu Ruan said: "Father......

Zanhua interrupted: "The poor monk has already become a monk......

Yelu Ruan was unhappy for a while, but the Khitan was originally influenced by Buddhism, and he himself had specially understood the legal system to which Zanhua belonged, so he swallowed tears and changed his words at the moment, and said: "Master, the child already knows about your ordination in the Central Plains, but why did you come here?" Did Zhang Mai send you to do something? ”

Zanhua said: "The poor monk's trip, although it is out of the marshal's will, is also the wish of the poor monk." This time I came to Mobei in order to normalize the millions of people in this grassland desert! ”

Yelu Ruan was a little impatient and said, "Teacher, don't talk to me about Buddhism!" Confuse people! I wonder what you're here for! ”

Zanhua glanced at his son with compassion and said, "You are confused." The poor monk has said it very clearly, but you still don't understand. ”
