Chapter 244: Arriving at the Wanyan Division

The next morning, Zhao Yan was pushed awake by Yelusi, last night he had been thinking about how to get out of the hands of the Jurchens, but he didn't sleep until midnight, and naturally got up a little late in the morning. When they came out of the cave, Impeachment Libo and others had already prepared breakfast for them, a grilled fish per person, for which Zhao Yan also thanked them very politely.

After hastily eating breakfast, Zhao Yan took the impeachment bowl and them to find the hot air balloon, this thing is the key to proving their identity, if you want the impeachment bowl to temporarily dispel the suspicion in your heart, you must find the hot air balloon. Fortunately, Zhao Yan and the others were hungry and thirsty two days ago, and they were not familiar with the environment of the forest, so they did not go too far, and these Jurchens were proficient in tracking techniques, so it only took one day to return to the forest where they forcibly landed.

"You see, that huge sack on the top of the tree is the hot air balloon we were riding." Zhao Yan pointed to the huge hot air balloon road that was still hanging on the tree above his head, although two days had passed, there was not much change here from when they left before, except that there was a lot of bird droppings on the hot air balloon that had been hung by branches with a few big holes, and there were already squirrels ready to settle in the hanging basket hanging on the tree.

Hearing this, he raised his head and looked seriously at this legendary hot air balloon that can take people flying, but he looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't figure out the mystery, so he finally shook his head and said to Zhao Yan: "Your Great Song Dynasty is really extravagant, you actually use precious silk to make this kind of thing, so much cloth is also a lot of wealth for our Wanyan Department." ”

"Haha, I'm a big Song rich in the world. A little cloth is nothing, and this hot air balloon has already broken, if the Wanyan leader doesn't dislike it, how about accepting this hot air balloon as our first greeting gift? Zhao Yan laughed, and then said very generously, in fact, even if he didn't say it, this hot air balloon would definitely be brought back by the impeachment bowl, so it was better to send it out directly and generously.

"Then thank you to the king!" The impeachment bowl did not refuse, but he hesitated for a moment at this time, and then asked again. "The King of the County. I know it's a bit abrupt to ask, but I'm really curious about this hot air balloon and I don't know how it flies? ”

Although the impeachment bowl was very polite in his words, there was a look of ambition in his eyes. At first, he wondered if the hot air balloon could really fly into the sky. So as to prove that Zhao Yan and they lied? Second, he also wanted to master the flight principle of this kind of hot air balloon. In the future, he can also make his own hot air balloon, because he instinctively feels that this hot air balloon will definitely be of great use in the future.

Seeing the information revealed in the impeachment bowl's eyes, even Zhao Yan felt that the other party had a hint of threat. This made him very unhappy in his heart, but Zhao Yan still smiled and said: "The principle of the lift-off of the hot air balloon is actually very simple, Wanyan Leader you know Chinese, you should have heard of Kong Ming lantern, right?" ”

Hearing this, he nodded, he did know Kong Ming lantern, and at this time, he saw Zhao Yan and said: "Since Wanyan Leader knows Kong Ming lantern, it is much easier, this hot air balloon is actually a large Kong Ming lantern......"

Zhao Yan then explained the principle of the hot air balloon in great detail, after all, now his life is in the hands of the other party, he can't do it if he doesn't say it, and Zhao Yan is also very sure in his heart, even if he tells the other party the principle of the hot air balloon now, he doesn't have to worry that Wanyan can really make a hot air balloon, after all, for people like Ji Libo, who usually only wear animal skins, ordinary cloth is already a very valuable item, let alone let them use a lot of cloth to make hot air balloons.

Sure enough, he originally thought that Da Song used cloth to make hot air balloons in order to show his wealth, but after listening to Zhao Yan's explanation, there was no other thing to replace the cloth, and all the cloth in their face was added together, I am afraid they would not be able to make a few hot air balloons, not to mention that the airbags under the hot air balloon also used fire-resistant asbestos, which made him feel even more desperate, because it was the first time he had heard of cloth that was not afraid of fire.

However, the impeachment bowl is not a simple character, quickly recovered from the depression, and immediately commanded the impeacher and others behind him, and immediately three Jurchen warriors climbed the tree, because the hot air balloon was too tightly entangled by the branches, and it could not be untied at all, and the air bag of the hot air balloon was also broken, so they cut the air bag of the hot air balloon directly on the tree and threw it down, and the impeacher and others below cherished these cloths and rolled them up and carried them behind their backs, although these cloths were a little damaged, but they could also make a lot of clothes, It is much more comfortable to wear than animal skin.

With the evidence of the hot air balloon, Impeachment Libo finally temporarily believed in Zhao Yan's identity, and became more enthusiastic at the moment, but enthusiasm is enthusiasm, he will not just let Zhao Yan leave, but invite them to Wanyan, and wait until Zhao Yan's identity is completely determined, and then Impeachment Libo will really discuss with Zhao Yan about the Great Song Dynasty's assistance to Wanyan.

Zhao Yan had also been prepared for this, and he had already gotten angry with Su Shi and Yelu Sitong last night, so the three of them did not resist and agreed very happily. As for the impeachment of Libo and the others, they were originally going to Huanglong Mansion in Liao to inquire about the news of Quite Thorn Shu, but now that they know about the civil strife in Liao from Zhao Yan and them, there is no need to go to Huanglong Mansion again, because all kinds of signs have shown that Quite Thorn Shu is likely to have died in the chaos of the army, and now that the Liao State is in chaos, even if they go to Huanglong Mansion, I am afraid they will be driven out.

In the next few days, Zhao Yan and the three of them have been following the Jurchens of the impeachment bowl to the Wanyan department, almost all of them along the way are deep mountains and old forests, there is no road at all, at most, the impeachment of the bowl These people know where the mountains are easy to walk, where there are fewer fierce beasts, it is estimated that it is precisely because of this bad road conditions that the Liao State has no way to take a small Wanyan Department, and finally let the other party have a chance to turn over.

Compared with the Jurchens who are accustomed to walking on mountain roads, Zhao Yan and the three of them are all complaining about this, among them, Zhao Yan is better, he has never forgotten to exercise, and he is a man, and his adaptability is relatively strong, and after a few days of hardship, he slowly feels adapted.

In contrast, Yelusi and Su Shi are much worse, among them, Yelusi is a woman, and it is normal for her body to be poor, although Su Shi is in the prime of life, but most of the time she usually recites poetry with her friends, where has she ever suffered this kind of hardship? So the two of them have suffered enough in the past few days, and in the end, Zhao Yan saw that they couldn't walk, so he had to discuss it with the impeachment bowl, which made the other party agree to rest for a day, and the next day they began to continue to hurry, and finally arrived in the territory of Wanyan.

However, although this journey is hard, Zhao Yan and they at least don't have to worry about safety and food, because these people are all extremely clever hunters, and there is a bird calling in the treetops a hundred meters away, and anyone can shoot them down with an arrow, it can be said that all of them are archers, of course, these people are the top masters in the Wanyan Department, otherwise they will not be brought out by the impeachment bowl, so they do not fully represent the level of the Jurchens.

The Wanyan Department does not only refer to the big tribe where the impeachment of the bowl is located, but also the various small tribes that are attached to the Wanyan Ministry, these small tribes are either actively attached to the Wanyan Ministry, or directly conquered by the Wanyan Ministry, and they are usually under the jurisdiction of the Wanyan Ministry, but these large and small tribes together have less than 10,000 people, and the troops that can be used in peacetime are less than 2,000 people, which is not worth mentioning at all for the Song and Liao countries.

Su Shi was also a little disappointed in the weakness of the Wanyan Ministry, originally he really thought that Zhao Yan wanted to help the Jurchens after knowing the matter discussed between Zhao Yan and the impeachment of Libo, but now he saw that the Wanyan Ministry was so weak, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, because in his opinion, even if the Great Song Dynasty was willing to help these Jurchens, I am afraid it would not have much impact on the Liao State, let alone contain the forces of the Liao State.

However, Zhao Yan didn't think so, because he clearly knew that when Wanyan Agu raised the army a few decades later, there were only a few thousand people, but he won three battles and three victories, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State were defeated.

It is precisely because he knows the appearance of the Jurchens in later generations, so when Zhao Yan came to the territory of the Wanyan Ministry, he has been carefully observing the situation of the entire Wanyan Ministry, so as to be able to find the weaknesses of these Jurchens, so as to completely curb their rise.

Wanyan is respected by strength, and the periphery are some of the weakest tribes, so that when encountering danger, these weak tribes can be cannon fodder, or they can delay a little time, so that the main force of Wanyan is ready, the closer to the core area of Wanyan, the stronger the strength of the tribe, and the most central area is naturally the headquarters of the impeachment.

Zhao Yan observed while walking, but let him see a lot of useful things, such as Wanyan is a fishing and hunting nation, also called a nomadic people, usually fishing and hunting for a living, and when the prey in an area is almost the same, they will migrate to other places to continue hunting, and it is precisely because of this that the station of Wanyan is also not fixed, but moves around in their own sphere of influence.

In addition, the biggest impression that Wanyan gave to Zhao Yan was "poor", very, very poor, whether it was the outer tribe or the inner tribe, you could see a lot of bare-fart women running around outside the dilapidated tent, because they had no clothes at all, and most of the children were yellow-skinned, and they didn't know what they usually ate?

It took two days to pass through the small tribes outside, and finally Zhao Yan and the others finally arrived at the headquarters of the Wanyan Ministry, the situation here is better than those tribes outside, at least they can't see the women of the bare farts * stock, but as soon as they came here, Zhao Yan and Su Shi immediately frowned.
