"Huo, the matter of Wei?" Li Chongjiu stopped when he heard this.

Since the establishment of Huaihuang Town, the Khitan has fought with itself repeatedly, although the Khitan is in the period of tribal alliance, and has not yet mastered the means of iron smelting, and the strength cannot be compared with the Turks. However, the Khitan cavalry went deep into the mountains and killed them inexhaustibly, and although they were defeated, they could recover their power in a year or two.

Li Chongjiu said: "Back then, if Zhuge Kongming didn't go deep into Nanzhong, how could he capture Meng Shu alive, even if there were some risks, Wang Junkuo and Xue Wanche were both generals outside, the art of war was cloudy, and the generals would not give military orders abroad, Xue and Wang were both Lone's henchmen, Lone trusted others, and did not interfere in their affairs, so they decided whether to pursue or not according to the military situation." ”

Wen Yanbo and the others nodded together.

Wang Qi said: "At the moment, only let Xue and the two generals of Wang decide their own policies. ”

The north bank of Wuhou Qinshui.

Five thousand Han cavalry, led by two thousand Khitan cavalry, were passing through the grassland and heading north.

Duyan climbed a hill on foot, and Xue Wanche and Wang Junkuo followed behind.

Du Yan pointed to the distance and said: "Two more mountains are Huangshui, north of Huangshui is Lengcheng Mountain, Lengcheng Mountain is the boundary mountain of my Khitan and Xi people, and the three tribes of the Xiren people, there is snow on the top of the mountain in winter, and the terrain is very difficult to walk, if there is no road led by my people, it is impossible to pass at all." ”

"Then if you chase it to Lengcheng Mountain, will you be able to take down Dahe Duluo?"

"Not necessarily, Dahe Duluo is very cautious, he probably expected that you would chase him, so he should have fled to Xianbei Mountain."

Xue Wanche heard the words and said: "If we want to catch Dahe Duluo, we are about to arrive at Xianbei Mountain?" Where is Xianbei Mountain? ”

Du Yan said with a look of reminiscence: "After turning over the Lengcheng Mountain, the east is the most fertile Huoershen grassland in my Khitan, in previous years, when the Turks and my Khitan were at odds, the clansmen generally retreated to Xianbei Mountain, Xianbei Mountain is also my clan, and it is also the holy mountain of Xianbei people, where is the tomb of our ancestors, when Emperor Wei Tuobatao." Sending ministers to Xianbei Mountain to worship and engrave inscriptions, this is also the last retreat of my Khitan. ”

Speaking of this, Du Yan had a look of sigh on his face.

Wang Junkuo and Xue Wanche glanced at each other and said, "How many days are there to travel from here to Lengcheng Mountain?" ”

"Three days?"

"Then how many days is there to travel from Lengcheng Mountain to Xianbei Mountain?"

Du Yan shook his head and said, "I can't say. ”

"How can you say for sure?" Xue Wanche said unhappily.

Du Yan opened his mouth and said, "Is it necessary for me to lie to you now?" From Lengcheng Mountain to Xianbei Mountain. Along the way, you have to pass through rivers, waters, and in addition to a few large rivers, the grasslands are full of floods, and this river is formed for five or six days, and it grows for several months. How many days did you say it would take for the cavalry to arrive? I walked through it once last year, about 45 days. ”

Wang Junkuo and Xue Wanche glanced at each other, they didn't believe it. At that moment, the two of them came again, and several Khitan township generals inquired.

When several Khitan villagers heard that they were going to Xianbei Mountain, they all shook their heads, saying that it was the holy mountain of the Xianbei tribe and should not be taken lightly. Wang Junkuo. Xue Wanche didn't believe their rhetoric.

After some inquiry, Wang Junkuo said to Xue Wanche: "I asked them, where Xianbei Mountain is located, and they said it is similar to Duyan. ”

Xue Wanche heard this: "Duyan said that there is a forty-five day journey to the north, and a round trip is ninety days, even if you add the grain and grass that Duyan and they offered, it is only for five thousand cavalry for twenty days, and then I don't know where to go north." Even if it is Wei Qing and Huo Quai's expedition against the Mobei Turks, it is nothing more than that. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly said in the foreword: "I heard that the two generals are going to crusade against Xianbei Mountain, please think twice about this matter." ”

Xue Wanche asked, "Isn't the commander of the army aware of the path of Xianbei Mountain?" ”

Suddenly, he said: "I know one or two, and my Yan Yan is divided into seven parts. Among them, the northernmost branch is the Black Water Eagle, they live near Xianbei Mountain, and the people of the Black Water Turtle are all compiled. Decorated with wild pig teeth, plugging pheasant tails as crown ornaments, and the Khitans, you also know that they don't make up, the black water and the Kitan have different customs from the Khitans, but they have always been friendly with the Khitans, and the Khitans have always called them Jurchen. When the Great Sui had not yet conquered Goguryeo three times, Goguryeo was when it was strong, and all the tribes of the Taya were subordinate to Goguryeo, only the Jurchens were not convinced. ”

Wang Jun said: "So if we want to crusade against Xianbei Mountain, we must defeat the Black Water Sword. ”

Tu Di Ji nodded, and said: "The Black Water Turtle lives in the mountains and forests, no matter who invades them, they will fight back, and we are deep into the enemy territory, and the food and grass must be supplied by the people of Duyan, I really don't feel at ease." ”

Xue Wanche said: "Then what is the high opinion of the unified army? ”

I think if after attacking Lengcheng Mountain, do not go north to Xianbei Mountain, and venture deep into the hinterland of the Khitans, but go south through the White Wolf Mountain and return to Yingzhou, Liaoxi County, although this route is also an adventure, but it is much safer. ”

Xue Wanche hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with Dahe Duluo who has fled north." ”

Wang Jun said: "Dahe Duluo is just a skin, and the people of the Khitan Eight Divisions are the texture, without the texture, how can the fur be attached?" ”

Xue Wanche could only say when he heard this: "Since this is the case, let's take Leng Cheng Mountain first." ”

After deciding on the strategy, Xue Wanche and Wang Junkuo led 7,000 people on the road again.

Two days later, the cavalry of Zhao crossed Huangshui, and encountered a small number of Khitans who fled to Lengcheng Mountain along the way, but Xue Wanche ignored them and only ordered the army to march more.

After crossing the Huangshui, the army arrived at Lengcheng Mountain with light cavalry, and encountered the Khitan Tuliuyu tribe who had just escaped from the north shore in the mountain.

The vanguard Wu Gu Nai led 300 Qing cavalry and 200 Khitan soldiers to attack Tuliu Yu's troops.

Tuliu Yubu had no intention of fighting at all, and it only took a moment to take the battle, and the whole army was defeated.

Ugunai captured 5,000 Khitans, including 2,000 young and strong, and the rest of the cattle and sheep were 1,000 heads, 200 horses, and 100 stones of grain.

When Xue Wanche arrived, he heard that Wu Gu Nai had defeated Tuliu Yubu, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and he killed cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, and after a full meal in Lengcheng Mountain, he turned to the south.

Two days later, the army walked out of the hills and reached the endless Huoershan grassland.

This is the earliest Shang Zhou said, the land of ghosts, and then the nomadic land of the Donghu people, after the Donghu people were defeated by the Huns, they were divided into two groups and fled to Xianbei Mountain and Wuhuan Mountain.

Xianbei Mountain is in the north, and Wuhuan Mountain is on the Huo'er Shen grassland, here is the Wuhuan tribe, and the Xianbei people who go to Xianbei Mountain are Xianbei people.

After the Wuhuan tribe was defeated by Cao Wei, the Xianbei people who lived in Xianbei Mountain migrated from north to south and entered the Huo'er Shen grassland, and then after the decline of the Jin Dynasty, they took advantage of the situation to enter the Central Plains. Therefore, this lush Huo'er Shen grassland, to be precise, is also the real land of Xianbei people.

Later, after the Xianbei Tuoba Department founded the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Huo'er Shen Grassland was owned by the Khitan people from the Xianbei Yuwen Department.

Now Xue Wanche's army has arrived in the Huo'er Shen Grassland.

Note 1: In the New Tang Dynasty Book Khitan Records, the Khitan blocked the cold mountain to self-consolidate, and Xi was uneven, and each bucket was unfavorable, and he escaped to keep the fresh Beishan.

Note 2: Huo'er Shen Grassland, that is, Horqin Grassland, Huo'er Shen is a Xianbei language, and Horqin is a Mongolian language, and now the Murwei people have not migrated southward and are nomadic in the Hulunbuir grassland.
