At noon that day, Yi Feng set up a banquet in the camp by the Rao River, and invited several patriarchs of the Xi army, as well as the leaders of the Khitan Dahe Duluo and other Men of the Bian tribe, as well as the highest-ranking commanders in the Servant Army, that is, the chiefs of the original tribes of the Xi tribe to the banquet. Although it is in the wild, but the banquet is still very lively, there are a lot of liquor in the baggage camp of the Wuzhou army, these liquor with a high degree of liquor, the demand in the army is great, and the effect is also great, in the cold place in the north, especially in wartime, the distribution of liquor to the soldiers has a great effect, not only can prevent the cold, but can even be used to clean the wounds after the soldiers are injured, which can effectively reduce the infection and other conditions. After the victory, the most important thing is horse meat, and the men of the baggage battalion also generously slaughtered cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock from the captured miscellaneous animals, plus some nuts, pasta, etc., and an unexpected sumptuous banquet was good.

After the big victory, there was good wine and good food, and this banquet was naturally very lively.

And when Yi Feng opened the banquet, he raised his glass and announced three things, which made the atmosphere of the banquet extremely lively.

"This first glass of wine, Ben Shuai thinks that he should first salute the brothers of the Xia clan. It was with your defeat in front of the battle that you made a great contribution to this battle. A certain respect, the patriarchs of the Xia clan, after this glass of wine, from now on, the Xia clan will be our friends and brothers of the Wuzhou Army! ”

After squatting in the snow for a day during the day, and drinking the northwest wind for a day, the leaders of the Xia tribe have actually been nervous since they came in. Although they defected before the battle last night, who knows if this general of the Central Plains can let them go. At this time, if you are easy to wind, it is like the warm mare's milk wine. It made these patriarchs want to cry with excitement. It seems that although this general of the Sui Dynasty is young, he is very benevolent. No, let alone a glass of wine. Even if it is a jar of wine, they will drink it all at this time. A group of people eagerly picked up the bowl and drank it all down. However, when he drank it, he was very chic and heroic, but when the wine entered the stomach, the fiery heat of the liquor immediately rose, but it made many people immediately cough violently, and they made a foreign appearance.

"Okay, the brothers of the Xia clan are really bold, and I did it too. From then on we were brothers. Yi Feng was also dry, but he drank a glass of wine, mellow and delicious, not spicy and strong. Putting down the wine glass, Yi Feng laughed and said, "Immediately let the baggage battalion send tents to those Fei brothers outside, and then pull out the wine and meat, so that the Fei brothers can also celebrate together." ”

Slowed down. Yi Feng poured a second glass of wine. Standing up again, this time he raised his glass directly to the Khitan Patriarch He Duluo.

Seeing this, Araja hurriedly stood up, although their losses last night were very small, but they had lost a lot all the way south before. What's more, after seeing the strength of the Wuzhou Army with his own eyes last night, and the five major tribes of the Xi clan were all looking forward to Yi Feng. Elo was even more in awe of Yi Feng. Even if he had confirmed at this time, this Yi Feng. It was the little boy Yuan Hao that Xu Deyan brought to their tribe from the Central Plains, and he and his clan even had the grace of nurturing and reinventing Yuan Hao, but they didn't dare to mention it at this time. Not to mention that Yi Feng has already lost his original memory due to injury, even if he doesn't, he won't mention those things again. Today's Yi Feng is already the general in charge of the Great Sui, the prince of Changning County, with tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands, and I heard that he is also the emperor and grandson of the Emperor of the Great Sui in the Central Plains.

"This second cup of wine is a tribute to the Patriarch of Luluo and the brothers of the Khitan. After last night's battle against the brutal oppression and aggression of the Turks, we fought side by side to the enemy, and this bloody love made us brothers and allies. Come, drink this glass of wine, and in the future, we will be blood alliance brothers who share life and death, live and die together, advance and retreat together, and always be allies. ”

Although Yi Feng didn't mention anything about his youth in the Khitan Bun tribe, Yi Feng's words at this time still surprised Dahe Duluo. He had heard that Yi Feng's Wuzhou Army and the Xi people had reached a security joint defense agreement, and at this time, Yi Feng's words undoubtedly meant that the Wuzhou Army would also reach such a security joint defense agreement with the Khitan, which made him a little too late to be happy. After the Khitan tribe experienced the invasion of Goryeo at the beginning of the year and the eastward raid of Tiele in winter, two of the ten major tribes were almost disabled, and large tribes such as Kui Ben were also greatly injured. Although Deyi Feng has escaped the rescue now, who knows when the next wave of revenge from the Tiele people will come. If you have escaped this time, can you avoid the next time?

In his early years, the Khitan submitted to Xianbei, then to Rouran, then to the Turks, and finally to Goguryeo and the Great Sui. But he clearly remembers that when the Great Sui was first built, the Khitan, which was oppressed by various forces at that time, immediately went south to ask to attach itself to the Great Sui, but the emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not agree at that time, but handed them over to the Turkic Khan, and the Turks retaliated and sent troops to attack the Khitan, when a tribe of 7,000 people was directly slaughtered by the Turks. The Khitan tribes also fell into a very miserable situation, the ancient eight tribes also collapsed, the Khitan tribes fled in all directions, and the Khitan was scattered by the Turks in that catastrophe, and finally divided into three major parts, which were subjugated to the Turks, the Great Sui, and Goguryeo. It was not until more than ten years later, after the Great Sui became strong, that the Khitan was able to return to the hometown of the weak Luoshui with the secret support of the Sui and newly formed the Khitan Ten Divisions. This invasion of the Tiele people, if one is not good, the Khitans may have to regress to the dark period when the ancient eight tribes were destroyed.

And now that Yi Feng is willing to form an alliance with them and even provide protection, this is really great news for the panicked Khitans. The emperor of the Sui Dynasty sat on Middle-earth, but he once betrayed the Khitans. Although Yi Feng was only a general in charge, this time he was able to lead tens of thousands of horses to rush to the rescue immediately, which made Luo value Yi Feng's promise even more.

"I'll do it first." Du Luo's excited face was swollen red, and he didn't wait for Yi Feng to raise his glass first, and immediately took the big bowl and drank it, and drank three bowls in a row. The whole person who drank shook a few times, and almost got drunk on the spot, but fortunately, he was quick and immediately held on to the side. "Yi Shuai, I won't say anything else, in the future, I will be Luo, and our department will only be Yi Shuai. Let it be sent, there is no other word. ”

Of course, Yi Feng likes to hear this, although he also knows it. When Darlo said this, he didn't really want to be his horse boy in the future. There is a prerequisite for this, and the premise is, of course, that he Yi Fengde has always had such a strong strength, and he can always provide protection for Duluo. If not, then the so-called horse-headed Zhan of Ara, of course, is just drunken gibberish. This is the exchange, the exchange of benefits, albeit a bought conditional surrender. But Yifeng is already very satisfied. He did not believe in that kind of loyalty for no reason, and this exchange of benefits was enough.

On the spot, Yi Feng had an in-depth conversation with Duluo. Yi Feng expressed his willingness to continue to provide help to the Khitans, of course, as long as the Khitan patriarchs were also willing to accept this help and become allies together. That's it. I didn't say much at the banquet. But it's been made clear. The Khitans wanted Yi Feng's protection, and Yi Feng certainly wanted to ally with the Khitans against the Turks. Under this premise, Yi Feng certainly hoped to form an alliance not only with one of the Khitan Ten Divisions, but also with the Khitan Ten Divisions. And this, it is necessary for the most powerful patriarch of the Khitan to come forward to contact.

Yi Feng's third glass of wine was given to Xi Ren, fighting side by side for everyone.

On the eleventh day after the banquet, Yi Feng and his three allies reached an agreement to divide the dirt.

On the eighth day of November, Yi Feng signed the Quadripartite Covenant on behalf of the Wuzhou Army with Xi, Khitan, and Xi. It was agreed that the four would form an alliance and advance and retreat together. Security joint defense. According to the agreement, the four families formed an alliance of arms: the Great Wall Legion. This legion is the allied army of the four families, and the Allied Great Wall Army is organized into six armies, which are the tribal armies of the three tribes, the Kumoxi Army, the Khitan Army, the Baifei Army and the Wuzhou Army, but the Huaihuang Army has three armies, namely the Huaihuang Army, the Yuyi Army, and the Chengde Army. The Wuzhou Army now has four infantry battalions, three cavalry battalions, two chariot battalions, a mixed training battalion and a baggage battalion, and eleven integrated battalions, plus several regiments directly under it, with about 40,000 soldiers. There are too many battalions under the jurisdiction of the army, and some of them are swollen. And the total number of garrison troops left behind in Huaihuang is about 20,000, which is enough to form three armies. Although Yi Feng will not immediately set up multiple armies in Huaihuang for the time being, he can list three armies at this time.

Of the six armies of the Allied Great Wall Legion, Huaihuang accounted for three armies, and his momentum was enough to overwhelm the other three clans, making Yi Feng, the leader of the alliance, firmly in the main position.

The establishment of Kumo Xi's army is 15,000 people in five regiments, but this time, Su Zhi and several other Xi leaders are also arrogant and propose to Yi Feng to expand the army. They wanted to expand into two armies, but Yi Feng vetoed it. They also wanted to add five more regiments to the five regiments of the first army. However, Yi Feng still vetoed it, it is not suitable for Xi people to raise so many troops, and it is impossible to make a professional standing army if they are formed. However, Su Zhi and others want to make up more soldiers, in their words, they can first ask Yi Feng to help them train an army, and the other army can only make up a shelf and train some officers, as for the soldiers, assemble in wartime, and go back to their respective homes in peacetime, anyway, it will not waste money and food, and in this way, if they encounter the Tiele people to attack again, they can also quickly assemble and have soldiers available. This statement made Yi Feng agree a little, and finally agreed with Su Zhi and others, and the Xi people formed another army, but that army only had a reserve army, and the Wuzhou army helped them train officers, but the allied army only listed Kumo Xi's army in the sequence. In case of war, then fight against that reserve army.

With the beginning of the Xi people, the Khitan Oro in the back is naturally the same.

After the banquet that day, Lu Luo immediately sent people to contact the leaders of the Khitan tribes, and soon the leaders of the tribes rushed to see Yi Feng. With the presence of Duluo, Yi Feng and the Khitan tribes also quickly reached an agreement, just like the Xi people. The Khitan leaders such as Luo Luo also asked Yi Feng to train soldiers and horses for the Khitan, and even offered to buy armor and equipment from the Wuzhou Army with cow and horse skins and herbs. Yi Feng also agreed to these requests, Huai Huang was originally engaged in arms trading, as long as the best weapons and armor were not sold. These arms are not given for nothing, they all have to be exchanged for the best war horses, cattle and horses, camels, mules, donkeys and sheep, as well as those skins, herbs, ores, and even population, and everyone takes what they need.

The Khitans also wanted to form two armies, and they still asked the Wuzhou Army to help them train the new army, and at the same time help them train officers. However, Yi Feng followed the model of the Xi people, and finally let the five strongest of the ten Khitan divisions each form a battalion, each as an army. The other five weaker tribes, such as the two tribes that were almost crippled by the attack of Goguryeo and Tiele, were only formed into a reserve camp each.

And the same is true of the Xia tribe, forming an army and a reserve army.

Of course. Even so, their army could not really be a standing army. The regular army only hopes to equip at least one-third of its soldiers and horses as armored cavalry, and does not expect to be as well-equipped as the Wuzhou army. and became a full-time standing professional soldier.

Divided, there are not many soldiers trained in each department, such as the five departments of the Xi nationality, one only has one battalion of soldiers, and according to one-third of the armor, it is only a thousand armored soldiers. And such as the Khitan, it is even more composed of ten parts and one army. On average, there are only 500 armored cavalry. Of course, in addition to the regular army and reserve army of each tribe, the patriarchs of those large and small tribes also retain their own private armies. The large clan chief may have a regiment of guards, and the smaller clan chief may have a capital or a team. In addition to these private soldiers, and even, if necessary, according to the custom of these tribes. It is also possible for all people to be soldiers.

According to the covenant. The personal guards of the tribal chiefs are not included in the Allied ranking, but the six regular armies are directly under the Allied order. Yi Feng is the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, and once the alliance encounters the retaliation of the Tiele people or the invasion of the Turks and Goguryeo, then Yi Feng will be responsible for directing and mobilizing the allied forces to fight. Of course, the internal struggles of the parties themselves are not within the scope of Allied interference.

In short, for Yi Feng, the biggest advantage of the formation of this alliance was that it pulled several families into one boat, and he gained nominal allied command. Of course. Actually, it still depends on the actual situation. Another benefit: After the alliance, the commercial and trade relationship between Huaihuang and the three families went further, and many trading agreements were reached. The first trading agreement was for Huaihuang to train three new armies for the three families and sell them ordnance and armor.

Yi Feng is the leader of the alliance, and the three representatives of the three tribes, Su Zhi of the Ahui Department of the Xi Nationality, Dahe Luluo of the Khitan Subian Department, and Shali of the Xia Tribe, have become the deputy leaders of the alliance. Wei Zheng joined the army for consultation, Xu Deyan joined the army for the record, and many clan chiefs also served as the commanders, battalion generals, and regiment commanders of various armies.

On the surface, the framework of the alliance was erected, and there was a direct Great Wall legion, with a full six corps, as many as thirty battalions, and an army of 100,000 when fully established. Of course, this is only depicted on paper, and it depends on the reality. But with such an alliance and such an agreement, it has pulled a lot of relationships between Huaihuang and the three tribes and the Quartet.

After the covenant was made, Yi Feng took out the spoils of war and divided them. The armor and weapons, horses, and prisoners captured in the Battle of Shehe River and the Battle of Raole River were divided together. However, it was not evenly divided, the strength of the Wuzhou army and the table xiàn, so in the end it was able to divide the war horses and prisoners, and all the war horses and prisoners were returned to Yi Feng. All the seized weapons and armor were divided equally among the remaining three. Of course, this division was not fair, so according to the output and table, the Xi received some more gold and silver, while the Khitan and Xi received some livestock compensation.

The harvest of the Wuzhou army is naturally the most, the battle of Shehechuan, the Wuzhou army finally captured more than 3,000 Tongluo prisoners, and the battle of Raolehe, also captured more than 7,000 prisoners of servant bones and Bayegu, adding up to 10,000 young and strong prisoners of war in Huaihuang. In addition, there are more than 60,000 war horses, as well as tens of thousands of cattle, horses, and camels. In addition, there were tents, gold and silver, sheep and other scattered items, but most of them were directly packed and given to the three tribes, and the rest were sold directly to them.

There is no objection to Yi Feng taking the lion's share, and it is almost monopolizing more than seventy percent of the spoils, whether it is the Xi people, the Khitans, or the Xi people. This time, the Tiele people invaded, and the three tribes couldn't resist it, and the beaten wolves were unbearable. It was Yi Feng who led the Huaihuang army north and defeated the Tiele people, although it seems that Yi Feng won easily, but this does not mean that this is really the case. The easier it is for Yi Feng to win, the more it shows the strength of the Huaihuang Army. Not to mention that Yi Feng finally gave them so many trophies such as Tiele people's weapons and armor, even if they didn't share it at all, they didn't have half a point to say.

The three clans are now more concerned about selecting suitable soldiers immediately, and then asking the Wuzhou army to help with training. After being beaten by the Tiele people and seeing the strength of the Wuzhou army, they no longer have much confidence and security in the warriors of the original tribe. It is not only brave to fight in battle, but also to have excellent armor and sharp weapons, as well as good training and excellent command, which they are lacking, so they can only ask the Wuzhou army for help.

Yi Feng had no problem with this, but Yi Feng finally made a request to the Khitan and the Xi people, which was to recruit a group of new soldiers in the two clans as they had in the Xi tribe before. However, to the relief of the two clans, Yi Feng did not ask for the recruitment of those elite soldiers, but asked for only the tribal youth who had just reached adulthood. And for each person recruited, Yi Feng would not only pay the recruits a settling-in allowance, but also pay a gift money to their original tribe. The settling-in allowance is 5,000 yuan per person, and the same amount of gift money. Although this money was not much in Yi Feng's eyes, it made Khitan and Xia Bu quickly agree happily. After paying a price of 60,000 guan, Yi Feng finally recruited a total of 6,000 recruits from the Khitan and Xia tribes.

After recruiting 6,000 outstanding young and sturdy clan recruits, Yi Feng also began to prepare to withdraw his troops. (To be continued......)
