Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the early spring of February, the grassland is already a scene of grass growing and warblers flying. A slippery horse, riding lightly, the horse soldiers uniformly wear iron helmets, wearing two gear armor, the saddle side hooked horn bow, Hu Lu, with the ups and downs of the horse's back, the scabbard constantly slapped the saddle and the human thigh. Among the knights, Li Chongjiu stopped his horse and saw that on the plain, the lakes were dotted, one in the east and one in the west, dotted with stars, like a silver mirror reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. The spring water flows, there are several groups of deer grazing the pasture comfortably by the lake, and the forest sea in the distance is endless.
Li Chongjiu held the whip and said to the eto on the side: "You Xi people have really found a good pasture!" ”
Eto listened to Li Chongjiu's praise, his face showed joy, and said: "This pasture is the pasture that we have been hunting for generations, the ancestors are very cherished, not to the general time, reluctant cattle and sheep to come here to eat, here spring, summer and autumn pastures are available, and the forest is rich in elk, we Xi people come here with more clothes, in the past, when hunting, the doe young beasts are all released, even if it is enclosed, there is a gap, so that the young and strong beasts can escape. ”
Li Chongjiu thought a little, the nomadic land that ridiculed people as a treasure here is the historical Mulan paddock. With Huaihuang Town, Yuyi Town, it belongs to the same place on the dam. To the south is the Anle County of the Great Sui, which is now based on the Gaokai Road, the Khitan nomadic land is the Wuhou Qinshui in the northeast, and the Liaoxi County of the Great Sui is the original Liucheng County in the east. When Emperor Yang of Sui invaded Goguryeo, he walked through the White Wolf River Valley from Liaoxi County, and a million troops entered Liaodong. Before the development of the Liaoxi Corridor, this access road was the only land route from the Central Plains to Liaodong.
Li Chongjiu suddenly came to this Mulan paddock, not for no reason, his current situation is to temporarily announce 'going into the wild' due to illness.
In fact, at that meeting, the powerful generals on Li Chongjiu's side had quite a conflict with the Khanate Council of Elders. The mother-in-law of the female concubine privately sued Li Chongjiu, saying that the reason why the Council of Elders would agree to the two departments of Xi and cut the title of Khan was also aimed at Li Chongjiu. As soon as the Khan's honorific title was cut, although the Xi people were disgraced on the grassland, they finally reached a peace with the two tribes of the Xi tribe and the Turks temporarily, temporarily avoiding the disaster of war, and at the same time it was also a blow to Li Chongjiu's prestige, so that he could no longer enjoy such a high prestige in the grassland in the name of the Khan, and seize the military power back into his hands. This is also a ploy of the Council of Elders to kill two birds with one stone.
At that time, the elders of the Council of Elders argued all the way from the topic of Xi Bu's self-cutting of the Khan's position, and finally directly challenged Li Chongjiu, asking him to abdicate and give up the Khan's position. The elders brought out the words of the rest of the three tribes of the Xi tribe, as well as the Turkic and Khitan envoys, saying that the khan on the steppe could not be held by a Han person. This is to break the rules of the steppe for thousands of years, if they continue to do so, the Turks, the Khitan will send troops to deal with the Murde Xi Division.
The Turks had already frightened many timid Xi people into unanimously supporting the decision of the Presbyterian Church with just a few verbal intimidations.
However, the generals led by Eto, Yinghefu, and Yan Yelie refused to mention it. They said that this was clearly a trick of the Turks, and that the Xi people would destroy the Great Wall. If the Murod Xi Department did not have the support of Li Chongjiu, without the support of Huaihuang, Yuyi, and Shanggu County, it would not be able to gain a foothold on the grassland at all. In this way, they cut off their arms almost without a single soldier. Inhefer is directly sarcastic, this is simply, fighting with others, before the fight starts, he fell to the ground and was hammered first.
During the meeting, the two sides were at loggerheads, with the main battle faction led by the young generals and the conservative faction led by the Council of Elders. Under these circumstances, Li Chongjiu and Li Hu discussed overnight. Li Chongjiu decided to retreat as advance, temporarily called himself sick, and gave up Huang Yue Baixuan, who represented the Khan position. And the peak of the room is the position of the fake khan, temporarily replacing Li Chongjiu. In such a move, the people of the Presbyterian Church thought that it had received an effect, which made Li Chongjiu retreat in fear, temporarily relieved his strength, and continued to bargain with the two tribes of the Xi clan.
And taking advantage of the time when the Council of Elders relaxed on himself, Li Chongjiu took the opportunity of hunting around, but secretly recruited the powerful generals in the various ministries one by one, and used their dissatisfaction with the weakness and bullying of the Council of Elders against foreign enemies to make them serve him one by one.
Eto said to Li Chongjiu: "The elders have plans to move the Khan Court from Yuyi Town to the east. They said that it was closer to the Han land, far away from the Turks, and that they could be nomadic here. ”
Li Chongjiu said: "If the Khan Court is moved eastward, it can also be far away from the Turkic Khan Court. In my opinion, this place is good. ”
When Eto heard Li Chongjiu say this, he also thought it was true, and the two decided to investigate here. Li Chongjiu rode south for a while, and suddenly there was a whistle in front of him, and hundreds of Hu people wearing antlers and holding iron forks in deer skins near the edge of the forest appeared from the edge of the forest. They were obviously going to shoot deer.
Eto couldn't help but be furious when he saw it, and said: "This is the ranch of our Murodi Department, who are these people who dare to cross the border?" ”
"Commander of the army, it should be the people of the Devil!"
At this time, the people of the Devil discovered the location of Li Chongjiu and his party, and the whistles suddenly came and went, and dozens of cavalrymen wearing deerskins suddenly surrounded them from all sides.
"Hurry back!" Eto hurriedly shouted.
Li Chongjiu stopped his hand and said, "No, they don't have much hostility. ”
As soon as the words fell, a big man in the opposing cavalry waved his hand and signaled the rest of the people to stop behind him, and he only led a few people forward.
Although the other side looks like a Hu person, very coarse, but there is a Han crown scarf on his head, there is no other Hu people's hair or braided hair, and the eyes are clear, not as muddy as other uncivilized Hu people.
At this time, Li Chongjiu had vaguely guessed who the other party was. The Jin people are the ancestors of the Jurchens, and the power of the Great Sui has only infiltrated Liaodong County, and now the Seven Divisions of the Jin Dynasty and Goguryeo are the real overlords of the Northeast. However, Liaoxi County is still far away from the Sumoshui and Heishui where the Yan Yan live, and the Yan Yan that appears here must belong to the Liaoxi Yan of the Tudi Ji tribe in the Su Mo Ya.
Located in the southernmost of the seven tribes of the Millet Sect, it is named because it lives at the water's edge at the end of the Millet Dynasty, and it is also the strongest among the tribes. Tudiji was named the Taishou of Liaoxi County by the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven gave the Marquis of Fuyu.
The other party spoke Turkic and said: "I am an officer and soldier of Liaoxi County of the Great Sui, what are you doing here?" ”
