Chapter 231 One of the founding states of the Great Liao

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After Zhao Pu arrived in northern Shanxi, Lu Jialing sent someone to follow up, and in accordance with the "convention" of the Tiance regime, he publicized the source history of the Tiance Tang Army with various entertainment (such as goulan storytelling and temple fair text). Lu Jialing didn't understand how his subordinates couldn't drive ships to fight, so they could be called a naval army, but most of them quickly accepted the "title" of the marshal.

During this period of time, the storyteller in Yunzhou has added a new story source, which is the story of how the four towns of Anxi struggled to survive outside the territory, Zhang Mai passed on the decree for thousands of miles, and then the old people of the four towns marched all the way east under the leadership of Zhang Mai, leveled Hulu, and restored Lianglan in the Western Regions. These stories are already very mature in the Lianglan area, and as they spread more and more widely, the Central Plains and Bashu are also widely sung. Even the skills of communication have matured to the point where there are rules.

For example, Lu Jialing, who is in charge of external publicity, as early as under the guidance of Zhang Mai, and then through his own pondering and innovation, has formed a set of "traditions", that is, to promote the Tiance Army in a region, we must not only talk about the Tiance Army, but try to connect Tiance with the local culture, history or news, and strengthen the audience's sense of identity and substitution, otherwise the audience will feel that this is a matter of your Northwest Lianglan Western Region, what does it have to do with me?

Specific to the Yanyun area, it is necessary to play the two cards of "Han Land Hu Invasion" and "Invite Stone Forte".

The so-called "Han Hu invasion" means that the Lianglan Western Regions in the northwest and Yanyun Liaodong in the northeast were once the hometowns of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and all the ethnic groups living here were originally Han and Tang people, and later the An Lushan rebellion in the northeast and the invasion of Tubo in the northwest led to the Huhua of this region, and it can be said that the two regions have similar historical backgrounds in this regard. Talking about this fame that is easy to arouse the audience in the Youyun area.

The so-called "Invite Stone to Recover" is that when Shi Jingjiao had just ceded the Yanyun region to the Khitan, Zhang Mai had built a war to restore Yanyun, expel Hulu, and restore the Han family. If Shi Jingjin didn't have the strength to fight the Khitan, he was willing to attack Yanyun by the way, and it was okay to hand over the city to Shi Jingjin after defeating it! The story portrays Zhang Mai as a selfless and loyal image who does not care about personal gains and losses for the sake of the great righteousness of China, and puts the Tiance regime together with the Central Plains and the southern regimes, and imperceptibly instills it in the audience, so that they accept whether it is Luoyang, Liangzhou, Chengdu or Jinling. All of them are part of the Tang Empire in a broad sense, and it is implied that there will be a majestic and strategic Son of Heaven in the near future, and the four seas will be unified.

For the oriental land where the concept of great unification is deep, this statement has a large market no matter where it is placed, and even the Khitan is actually affected by this without knowing it, the reason why Yelu Deguang accepted Yanyun's land cession and ambitiously wanted to invade the south is that he actually has the intention of entering the Central Plains and becoming the lord of the world. It is very different from the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties and the Turks in the Sui and Tang dynasties, which entered the Han land and retreated to the grassland only to plunder.

Zhang Mai, who came from later generations, was far from being able to see any monarch of his time. When the Hu people invaded a place, they only thought about how to loot more property, and warlords like Li Siyuan and Shi Jingjiao only thought about how to collect taxes and levy troops every time they got a land. And Li Siyuan, Shi Jingjiao and others were helped by Confucian intellectuals like Feng Dao. Maintaining a basically decent document management system is enough for them to sit on the throne of the emperor in the Central Plains.

However, the Tiance regime is fundamentally different, and the economic system it has established has the circular concept of taking taxes from the people and then actively investing in infrastructure construction to expand economic results, and taxes are no longer the ultimate goal. It has become an important part of the economic operation of the whole country. Over the years, Tiance Datang has actually had far more types of taxes than those in the Central Plains, and its tax collection skills have become more mature, but the people do not realize that it is important, because the tax burden is reasonable and has been continuously returned in various forms that are beneficial to people's livelihood, such as infrastructure construction.

And every time this new Tang regime enters a region, in addition to military operations, it will also be accompanied by various cultural implantation and concept dissemination, soft and hard together, these years of the Tiance regime has formed the political concept and the fact of official governance, whether it is under the rule of the warlords or under the rule of the Han people under foreign rule, is fresh and full of temptation, some things are unforgettable once you hear about it, knowing that there is a better life under the same sky, It's natural to expect to have it yourself.

If this expectation can be transformed into belief, then almost most people will fight and die for this kind of life, even if not for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren!

Regarding the things that happened in the Lianglan area, in fact, there have been all kinds of rumors in various parts of China for a long time, but they were only heard occasionally before, but now it is Zhao Pu who leads the spy system to do active propaganda, just like lighting a fire on the haystack that has been dried, and it spreads in full swing with the uprising in Huairen County and the independence war of Shuoying Wei Prefecture.

When Yelu entered Yunzhou City, it was obvious that this city was different from the original. When the Khitan went south, the Han people's obedience and fear of the Khitan people were gone, and now they are not without fear, but they have more suspicion and resistance. In the past, there was no clue that the Khitans whipped the Han people on the street, on the contrary, the Khitans who were in a weak number rarely saw them on the streets, and seemed unwilling to be in the field of vision of the Han people for a long time, and would hurry home after buying things.

Yunzhou was still under the control of the Khitan militarily, but the actual control of the market had returned to the Han people.

This qiē was all due to the defeat of the Khitan and the rise of a hero in the Han family.

That Han hero has defeated the Hui in the west, defeated the Tubo, conquered the party, and even defeated the Khitan three times and twice!

When will Marshal Zhang come to Yunzhou? The sweat and blood cavalry regiment under the Eilechuan River is already close to Yunzhou, and this qiē does not seem to be far away.

Just like Bai Chengfu, after hearing about Zhang Mai, many people faintly felt as if they had a backer, and they were not very afraid of the Khitan and Xi people who oppressed them in the past. Now Bai Chengfu. Maybe in the face of the Khitan cavalry on the battlefield, they dare to fight, no matter whether they win or lose, at least they have the courage.

Just like the people of the Han family in northern Jin, they dare to stare at the Hu people fiercely when they see them. When you are not afraid of the other party, the other party will not dare to despise you, and when you dare to fight against the other party. The other person will respect you. Although it has not yet been restored to the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, the strong self-confidence of the Han family and the people who look at the world and have no remnants of the people, but the cowering has gradually disappeared, and the self-improvement has gradually been re-established.

This qiē is subtle and silent.

Yelu Wuzhi walked into the left-behind mansion with a heavy heart, and Xiao Shili was happy to see him, this is a person who can help him share the pressure. Han Deshu was a little nervous, Yelu Wu from Yelu Deguang's side was a person who could control his fate, maybe he had an order in his hand that would decide his life and death.

After the four of them greeted each other, they were about to sit down, but Yelu suddenly shouted to Xiao Shili: "Xiao Shili, listen to the training!" ”

Xiao Shili was shocked, knowing that this was Yelu Wuzhi speaking on behalf of Yelu Deguang. Quickly kneel down facing the direction of Linhuang Mansion.

"Xiao Shili, what's the matter with you! The shape of the northern Jin Dynasty. How did you get to this point, where is your previous ability? Where is your former bravery? Are you still waiting for the Linhuang Mansion to send you reinforcements? The widow said to you, someone will come here in Linhuang Mansion, this time you see Yelu Wuqing, and next time it will be a general who will take over the defense of northern Jin, and he will not only take over your military affairs after he arrives. And take your head! ”

Xiao Shili heard that cold sweat seeped all over his back, and he shouted with his face north: "Your Majesty is Shengming!" Xiao Zhili has been entrusted by His Majesty, and the crime deserves death, but at the moment of foreign enemies, Xiao Zhili feels that he can't just die. I must lead the soldiers and guard Yunzhou, if there is any more bad pool, I don't need to be punished, I cut off my head and send it to Linhuang Mansion! ”

Han Kuangsi was also a little scared in his heart, and knelt down with him, swearing the same oath.

Seeing that Xiao Shili was trembling and alert, Yelu Wu helped him up and said, "Actually, Your Majesty also knows your difficulties. This time, Yelucha in Mobei made a mistake in the big event, so that my Daliao fell into great passivity, and the rebellion of the Han people in northern Jin was also foreseen. You can't prevent Bai Chengfu from rebelling, it's your fault, but you can stabilize your position and keep Yunzhou after the smoke rises, this is the credit, Your Majesty rewards and punishments are clear, come on! ”

The retinue from outside walked in.

"Give me three pots of wine."

Xiao Zhili was overjoyed, took the gin jug, knelt down in the direction of Linhuang Mansion again, drank one of the pots of wine, raised his hands high, and cried: "Your Majesty knows the difficulties of our waiting, so sympathetic to us, we will be broken bones, and we will fight for my Khitan battlefield!" Protect my territory and don't let Han'er go further! ”

When he spoke, Han Deshu next to him noticed a word in Yelu Wuzhi's words just now: "I am Da Liao, I am Da Liao?" What do you mean? ”

But seeing Yelu Yan nodded to Xiao Shili, helped him sit down, and comforted Han Kuangsi again, then looked at Han Deshu and said, "Dao handle, you're back." I've had a lot of hardships along the way. ”

Yelu Wuzhi is a rare scholar in the Khitan tribe, he is young, and he has always had contacts with Han Deshu on weekdays, and he has also chanted poems and sang together in harmony.

Han Deshu stepped forward and said, "Thank you Brother Wu for your concern." Being captured by Tiance all the way is a great shame in my Han Deshu's life, if it weren't for my father in the hall, and I wanted to keep a useful body to repay my lord's great kindness and revenge, I wanted to die in front of the battle! ”

What kind of man was Jerod? is familiar with Han Deshu again, so he naturally knows which of these words are true and which ones are done, and said with a smile: "Death before the battle, that is a stupid thing that only Han people do." However, loyalty is the same, but no matter what Hu Han must have, the traitor, although the whole world is big, there will be no place for him! ”

Han Deshu high-fived and said, "What Brother Wu said is true!" The two generations of my Han family have received the great favor of the first emperor and His Majesty, even if they are the tenth generation of cattle and horses, they can't repay them endlessly. ”

Yelu Wuzhen's words were both beating and hidden temptation, and seeing that Han Deshu's face was completely unusual, he said in his heart: "It seems that he really escaped back." ”

After the news of Han Deshu's escape reached Linhuang Mansion, the Khitan Center was divided into two factions, one believed in him and the other doubted him, but Han Yanhui was by Yelu Deguang's side, and it was expected that his son would not break through the sky, and at that time of crisis. In the end, Yelu Deguang chose to continue to use him, but he only asked Yelu to be tempted when they met.

Han Deshu said again: "Brother Wu Zhen is here for the Lord's decree, I shouldn't have mentioned private matters, but I am just a son of man, and I am really worried about being away for a long time." I take the liberty of asking how my father is doing well by the Lord's side? ”

Yelu Wu said with a smile: "Okay, Ling Zun is all right." The body bones are still very good, you don't have to worry. ”

————————

The two of them just casually asked questions, but they didn't know that there were great subtleties. Yeluwu asked Han Yanhui about Han Yanhui's situation when he saw Han Deshu's second sentence, it can be seen that after all, he is a filial son, the Han people are loyal ministers and come from filial sons, and filial sons must be loyal ministers, not to mention that Han Yanhui is on Yelude's side, are you afraid that Han Deshu will not be loyal outside? Therefore, Yeluwu listened to him ask about Han Yanhui. The heart is even more relaxed.

didn't know that his psychological activity was calculated by Han Deshu again, and Han Deshu couldn't say that he didn't have filial piety to his father, but the purpose of the rhythm of this question just now was to reassure Yelu Wuqian, and he achieved the purpose of regaining trust with a single sentence.

Of course, the reason why Yelu Wu's quality was concealed in this round of dealing with the two was not that his IQ was inferior to Han Deshu, but that he lost to the treacherous and cunning Han Yanhui, who experienced three generations of masters, Abaoji, Shu Luping and Yelu Deguang. The understanding of the high-level psychology of the Khitan is already proficient, and Han Deshu has been around him since he was a child. Naturally, this is the Han family's "family learning" to deal with the Khitan high-level, and its mystery can only be understood but not spoken.

————————

The four of them sat down, and then Yelu said, "I have several important things to do this time. One of them has already been done just now, and the other one is intended to be sent to the Tiance Tang Army. ”

Xiao Shili said: "Enemy (Hu Ming of Yelu House) are you going to see Zhang Mai?" ”

"There are other envoys sent to Qinxi." Yeluwu asked: "This time I am going to meet the commander of the Tang Army under the Yin Mountain. ”

"Xue Fu?"

"Yes."

Han Deshu said: "Could it be that the Lord intends to make peace? ”

"For example, today's strategy is like a rainbow, and our army has a new defeat, and now it is hard to fight. It's not good for us. Yeluwu asked: "But this is not just about peace, there is a big situation involved. But you don't have to worry about this, you just need to guard Yunzhou City in the jurisdiction. On the other hand, the Lord has a task for you. ”

Han Deshu was overjoyed and said: "If you don't want to come back, you can work for my lord." ”

"Ben Lao, indeed." Yeluwu asked: "The lord wants you to go to Luoyang and inform Shi Jingjiao of my new country name of Daliao. ”

"Huh? The new country name? Da Liao? ”

"That's right!" Yeluwu said: "From this year onwards, our Khitan will no longer be called Khitan. From now on, the Khitan is the name of the clan, and Da Liao is our country name! ”

——————

In the seventh year of Tiance, the Khitan did something that surprised Zhang Mai: unlike history, this time it was not when the invasion of the Central Plains was in full swing, but after the defeat and escape, Yelu Deguang actually obeyed the inertia of history and established a new country name - Da Liao, the year name Datong.

After the renaming of the country, the Khitan sent envoys to inform the Quartet. Yanyun's side is not the first to know, the first to know is Mobei.

——————

Twenty days ago, Mobei.

The Mobei area is not completely without strongholds, there are many places with abundant water and grass and important geographical shapes, which are the "walks" of the Hu lords of the past dynasties. The aquatic plants in Mobei have been greatly damaged in the war in the past year. The only place that could be destroyed by the Yingyang Army was swept away by the Eagle Yang Army, and the only place that remained intact was Huanglong City.

But Yang Yi is not in the Huanglong City that governs the elite area of the western part of Mobei at the moment, he left the Longxiang Army, and Li Bin was responsible for sorting out the affairs of Mobei, so that Zanhua set up a Buddhist banner in Huanglong City to ambush the herdsmen of all ethnic groups, and he commanded the army.

Further east of the Yuju River Basin is the Jinshan Mountains, that is, the Great Xing'an Mountains of the later generations, along the Jinshan Mountains to the south, in the Huangshui Basin at the southern foothills, is the heart of the Khitan people Shangjing Linhuang Mansion!

Three units of the Tang Army have entered the Huangshui Valley, two of which are cavalry and archery elites - Guo Zhang and Wei Fei!

Guo Zhang occupies Yong'an Mountain, Wei Fei occupies the Yong'an Mountain, which is the northeast of the Huangshui River Basin facing the two natural barriers of the Mobei area, Yong'an Mountain and the Yong'an Mountain are northeast and southwest, the gap between the two mountain ranges is the gate of Mobei in and out of the Huangshui Basin.

In order to guard against the Mongols. Once in this gap built a hundreds of miles of "Great Wall", now the Great Wall naturally does not exist, this gap has become an undefended gate, as long as the Tang army can occupy Yong'an Mountain and Drag Mountain, the Huangshui Valley has no natural danger for Yang Yi, Yelu Deguang to resist the Eagle Yang Army can only fight a field battle against hard!

Mobei is too vast. When Guo Wei and the others arrived in the Huangshui Valley, the main force of the Tang army was still thousands of miles away in the north, and a battle spanned so far that the distance between the main force and the forward was almost unimaginable in the Central Plains, even in Mobei, which was a dangerous distance. Therefore, Guo and Wei were instructed to stop here and wait for Yang Yi.

In addition to Guo Zhangwei Fei, the third army is the Ghost Face Army. Yelu An, who surrendered to the Tang army. hesitated in the battle of Chopping Beach, and afterwards, in order to make up for the previous wrongs, he became extremely active again, and killed his fellow clans more ruthlessly than the generals of the Han family! swept all the way, and the Mobei clans who died in the hands of the Ghost Face Army were actually three times the number of his army!

Guo Zhangweifei occupied Yong'an and Ershan Mountain, but the Ghost Face Army crossed the gap and plundered and raged in the almost undefended Huangshui River Basin for half a month, destroying hundreds of hectares of farmland in the Huangshui River Basin. Burning all the grass that could not be taken away, the Khitans had built one hundred and twenty pastures over the course of decades. All of them were reduced to ashes in the flames of Jerod's sneering, and it was not until the light of Jerod returned that the Ghost-Faced Army retreated.

At this time, the Khitan leather room was eager to return home, and he was unstoppable, and Yelu'an did not dare to be sharp, and retreated two hundred miles. Stationed in the very center of the gap between the two mountain ranges, when the road is encamped, it forms a triangle with Guo Zhang and Wei Fei in the left and right rear, echoing each other.

At that time, Yelude dismounted and came to the frozen Huangshui River, looking at the messy homeland of Shangjing. Wanghe wept bitterly and vomited blood on the spot, and then a heavy snow fell and buried the poor land.

Within ten years, Mobei was restored, and the Huangshui Basin was simply abolished.

Yang Yi sent the cavalry team to the south to risk the victory, but he only had time to spread the general news of the "great victory" to the Ganlong area, and the follow-up events in the Huangshui Basin, even Yang Yi could not know clearly before the heavy snow closed the road, let alone Zhang Mai, otherwise, Zhang Mai's entire follow-up military layout would be changed - one of the important reasons why he was in a hurry to ask Xue Fu to go north to contact Yang Yi was that he hoped that military information could ensure smoothness.

This winter, 80,000 war horses froze to death in the Huangshui Basin alone, and thousands of old and weak women and children fled to the Huangshui Valley from all over Mobei because of lack of food and clothing - war horses are the greatest wealth of the nomads, and even the war horses can't be kept, and the plight of the Khitan this winter can be imagined. As for the ordinary herdsmen, the old and weak all consciously waited for death, and distributed the few remaining food to the children and youth, and hundreds of miles of water were mourning all over the wilderness, and under the heavy snow, even wailing was spread, leaving only the souls to complain in the ice and snow.

Until this moment, Zhang Mai didn't realize what his name meant to the people of Mobei! Although Yang Yi was the butcher's knife in this battle, all the Hu people knew that the marshal who was far away in Ganlong was the one in charge of the knife! In the minds of the Hu people, Zhang Mai's brutality has been far away from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and in the Khitan, Zhang Mai is even more bitter!

The terrifying memories of this winter are too deep for the Hu people!

"Death of my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals do not rest, the death of my Yanqi Mountain, so that my women have no color......"

This kind of lament for the death of the country and the people was sung again in the Huangshui Valley. At first, the angry Yerod wanted to kill the person who sang this song, but then he also cried in the song, and a generation of heroes has also withered.

Under the heavy snow sealing the road, the war could not be carried out, but despite this, no one knew how the Khitans came over this cold winter. All life, not only people, but also cattle and sheep - is suffering, and life is so low at this moment that it is unimaginably low, and at night, anyone can die.

——————

As the Han leader in the Khitan army, Han Yanhui didn't dare to imagine how he came over, he almost didn't dare to step out of the tent, for fear of being caught by someone and cut it directly, but he was afraid that Yelu Deguang would not speak for him at this time.

At this time, the Khitan people were full of hatred and fear for the "Han people in the west", and they were angry with the Han people in the territory.

It's easy to survive the winter, and according to the Han calendar, it should be the Spring Festival. Although the rivers in the Huangshui basin were far from being freed, Han Yanhui, who was afraid of the cold, still felt that the severe cold that kept going down seemed to stop.

The winter in Mobei is extraordinarily long, and there are at least a few months before the rivers thaw and spring flowers bloom. But at this moment, Jerod was summoned by the light. Han Yanhui walked out of the tent door for the first time, and when he went out, he was almost unsteady on his feet, and when he met the Khitans outside the tent, everyone looked at him very strangely.

Walking into Yeludeguang's tent, Han Yanhui saluted Yeludeguang nervously, Yeludeguang, who vomited blood last winter, was so thin that he couldn't see a single or two flesh on his cheeks, but his eyes had already settled, looking at Han Yanhui. The gaze is like a cold blade.

"I heard that Mr.'s son is back and is now in Yunzhou."

This is the first time that Yelu Deguang has called himself Mr. after he ascended the throne, Han Yanhui didn't know the blessings and misfortunes, his legs were weak, and he shouted: "Your Majesty!" ”

Yelu Deguang ignored Han Yanhui's gaffe and continued: "I don't want to care about Han Deshu's affairs. It doesn't matter if he really escaped back, or if he has something else inside. For the sake of my husband's face, I will definitely keep him. This time against Zhang Mai, I was defeated, and I had nothing to say, but I was defeated, but the Khitan still had to go on. Mr. is Zhuge Kongming, which was left to me by the first emperor. I need my husband to teach me how to go next! ”

Han Yanhui looked up and looked at Yelu Deguang in disbelief to make sure he wasn't joking.

"Now the Khitan generals and generals hate me to the bone and hate me as hatred. His Majesty wants to set a national policy for the future, and he doesn't ask the elders of the clan, but he comes to ask me, a foreigner? ”

"The patriarch of the clan?" Yerod laughed self-deprecatingly: "Now they know nothing but shouting for revenge!" But can I get revenge now? The Khitan vitality has been injured, and the tribes have deviated from morality, in fact, I know in my heart that the person who screams the loudest for revenge is the most afraid of Tiance! This winter, three of the enemy martyrs have defected, and two of them have defected to the enemy, and Mu Wei has also secretly frowned with Yelu'an, when I don't know? From now until midsummer, we don't have the strength to fight, and in summer and autumn, Yang Yi must go south, and at that time Yong'an Mountain and Yura Mountain will be up to him...... I'm not sure! If Zhang Mai still has the strength to come from the south, then our Khitan will be completely finished! ”

These two sentences were changed to others, even if it was the elder of the Khitan clan, Yelu Deguang refused to speak, but now he said it to Han Yanhui.

Han Yanhui only felt a mouthful of hot phlegm surging in his chest, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, it really makes the minister's liver and brain smeared, and it is difficult to repay it!" ”

"You get up!" Yelu Deguang pointed at Han Yanhui and said, "I don't want to listen to you now, I want to listen to you now and tell you what we should do next." It is true that you are a Han Chinese, but you are the most trusted think tank of the first emperor. What I need now is a think tank. Now that I have been defeated by the Han Chinese, then I need to use the Han people to bring this situation back! If you are really loyal, you must have thought hard about the future of the national fortune for my Great Khitan this winter, if you haven't thought about the Khitan national fortune, you haven't taken the Khitan to heart! Your so-called faithfulness is false! ”

Yelu Deguang stared at Han Yanhui, just as Hai Dongqing stared at something in the snow, to judge whether he was food or the same kind.

Han Yanhui's heart sank, and he collected his tears, and then said: "Your Majesty really wants to listen to what your subordinates say?" ”

"Say!"

"Okay, the minister said." Han Yanhui said: "Zhang Mai's luck has been in the middle of the day to this day, but the day is moving, and the moon is rising, and his hidden worries are very much, and now it is almost time to be exposed." If we can break through it, the upper and lower levels will be able to regain their homeland and dominate the world, and the middle will be able to confront other things and things, and the worst of them will be able to protect the nation and extend the heirs. ”

Yerod raised his eyebrows and said, "If I can protect the whole family, I will do it!" If I can still confront the east and the west, I am worthy of being the emperor, if I can really recover my homeland and dominate the world, then sir, you are the teacher of my Khitan country! He paused and said, "Say, what to do!" ”

"It is imperative to do eight words."

"Which eight words?"

"The strong man broke his wrist and retreated!"
