Lulu Gu Leping said: "I will go on an expedition to the desert, and whoever doesn't go will betray the alliance." As soon as these words came out, the tribal leaders present looked at each other.

These tribes were originally ordered by the Jin State to go to Yanjing to collect all of them, and then went south to plunder. Even if they don't have a good impression of Jinguo, it is definitely not a hostile relationship.

But I didn't expect that the Song army was stuck in the Yinshan Pass, and tens of thousands of people from 17 tribes wanted to eat.

Seeing that Lulu Guleping wanted to win them over, these clan leaders knew in their hearts that if they didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to leave Fengshengzhou City today. And when they die, not too many people will remember to avenge themselves, on the contrary, those who divide their tribes will come like vultures.

So they drank blood wine and swore an oath, and these leaders did it one by one, and even the bargaining was sincere. But once they return, whether they will stick to the promises they made today depends on whether the situation allows it.

But unexpectedly, Lulu Guleping proposed an expedition to the desert on the spot.

Liu Dilie asked, "May I ask where the general is going on an expedition?" ”

"I promise everyone money and food to avoid the snow, there must always be a source, and I will go on an expedition to Tokyo Road."

Naturally, Tokyo Province does not refer to the Song Dynasty to Tokyo Bianliang, but refers to the vicinity of Liaoyang, Tokyo, which is the richest area under the rule of the Jin State, except for the vicinity of Yanjing, and is much richer than Xijing Datong, which has been requisitioned many times.

Liu Dilie saw that the leaders of the various departments were looking at him, and couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "It's naturally good that the general wants to attack the Tokyo Road, but the Tokyo Road is three thousand miles away, and the various tribes are dragging their families and mouths, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get there." If the elderly, weak, women and children go out of business one after another, it will damage the prestige of the general. ”

After Liu Dilie said this, he did not turn back to relay it to the tribal leaders.

Lulu Guleping asked Liu Dilie: "Could it be that you have a better place to go?" ”

"The general knows about the Netherworld."

Lulu Guleping shook his head, he really didn't know. Because the real Nagajie Fort is a part of the Nagajie Trench, it will not be officially started until after Hu Shahu swept the north to no avail, and it is used to guard against the northern Mobei tribe.

And the current "Jinjie Fort" is a sentry fort built by Boluhuo on the edge of the Nenjiang River when the Jin State has just destroyed the Liao, and its purpose is to establish an outpost, when the grassland tribes want to enter the more prosperous Xianping Road and Tokyo Road under the rule of the Jin State.

Liu Dilie explained: "To the south of the boundary trench, at the junction of Linhuang Road and Xianping Road, there is a large pasture, and there is an oasis in the grassland. ”

Lulu Guleping became interested: "There is a reclamation division in the desert? ”

"Exactly." The place that Liu Dilie said is the Horqin grassland in the area of Chifeng in Tongliao, which was famous for its abundant water and grass in the Liao Dynasty, and in the oasis in the grassland, the rulers of the Liao Dynasty let the Bohai people and the captive Han people farm, which is known as the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Now, the Jin soldiers are busy attacking the Song Kingdom in the south, and they haven't taken care of this treasure land for the time being.

Lulu Guleping and Puliu Ru Bosheng discussed in a low voice, and Lulu Guleping said: "Okay, you lead the way, and I will go with you to take this Saibei Jiangnan." Who are you holding hostage? ”

"Wife as a hostage."

Seeing that Liu Dilie did not hesitate, Pu Liuru Bosheng secretly praised in his heart, "Good!" Sure enough, it's a hero. ”

After Lulu Gu Leping gave permission, Liu Dilie announced to the tribal leaders the decision to attack the Golden World Fort, and the tribal leaders were in an uproar.

Pu Liuru Bosheng found that among the noisy leaders, there were obviously two kinds, one was extremely reluctant to turn around and go north, and the other was asking whether the spoils were distributed according to the rules.

He beckoned and called out to the interpreter: "The tribes that want to distribute the spoils of war are all from Mobei?" Is it the tribe of Mo Nan who is unwilling? ”

"The town government will see it."

At this moment, a man in his twenties stood up and said something for a few miles. The interpreter explained that the man was the eldest son of the leader of the Beggar tribe, and he said that he and his brothers were willing to lead their own tribe to attack the Netherworld Fort, and his uncle's tribe would follow.

"And who is he holding hostage?"

The interpreter asked, and Hebul replied. The interpreter's face changed drastically: "He said that he could use his father and uncle, that is, the three leaders of the Qiyati, Taiyichiwuti, and Wengjirati, as hostages. ”

Taking his father hostage and seizing the rule of the tribe by himself, he is really a decisive character. But then his loyalty can be trusted.

Hebule's statement made the Mobei tribes firm in their determination: no matter what, go to Monan first to grab a handful. The tribes of the Zara, the Mirbeg, the Kreyiti, the Naman, and the Tatars also agreed.

The Monan tribes had no choice, so they had to agree.

"Okay, everyone go back, send the hostages on the one hand, and rectify the tribe on the other, and I will be able to go on the expedition in a few days."

When the tribal leaders got up one after another to leave, Liu Dilie deliberately walked one step later and asked Lulu Gu Leping: "Why don't you wait for the hostages to send it, and then let me go back?" ”

"If you are together, you will stay, if you are not together, you will go, if someone is not willing to be driven by the Sprinkle family, you can lead your people away."

"But it's just that you can't go south through the Yinshan Pass." Liu Dilie broke this point, and then took his leave.

In the evening, twelve tribes sent hostages, and the other five tribes had already set out with their tribes to the northwest overnight to find another way out.

Among the hostages sent, the Hobul brothers were the most high-ranking hostages, and they were the father and uncle of the Hebul brothers: the leader of the Qiyati tribe, Tunbinai Xue Chan, the leader of the Taiyi Chiwuti tribe, Chalahai Linghu, and the Weng Ji Rati tribe Copyzhen Ertiegai. The first was the grandson of the legendary Haidu Khan, and the other two were the sons of Haidu Khan.

The next day, Lulu Guleping took 200 personal soldiers and went out of the mountain pass to check the troops, and the leaders of the rest of the departments were there, but only Hebule was missing.

"Where did they go?"

The people left behind by his cousin, Baba Child, replied: "The tribes that fled overnight were disrespectful to the generals, and Lord Ghabl hated these untrustworthy people the most, and went to hunt them down all night." "The Baba has succeeded his grandfather as the head of the Taiyi Chi Vulti tribe, and the brother-in-law of Ghabul, Sain, has become the Ongirati tribe.

In the afternoon, Hebul returned to the assembly place with his tribe, herds of cattle, horses, and captives, and he attacked the three inadequacies of the westward migration, taking away their cattle, horses, and population. And ask for credit to Lulu Guleping.

Two-thirds of the spoils were given to Hebul, and the rest was given to other tribes.

He had already packed up his belongings and was about to lead his troops to set off immediately.

Liu Dilie said: "It's already afternoon, do you want to wait until tomorrow to leave." ”

Lulu Gule Ping said: "I've been waiting for a morning, but do you want to waste an afternoon?" Let's go, let's go. ”

Suo Chao led the cavalry to set off first, and Pu Liuru Bosheng said goodbye to Lulu Gu Leping.

Pu Liuru Bosheng said: "Liu Dilie has a ghost in his heart, and he is ambitious. Brother, you have to be careful. ”

"Don't worry, it's a big deal to rely on my twenty pounds of one-legged bronze man, eight pots of beaded arrows, and kill all the way back."

"Brother, you must be cautious. The most dangerous place, not on the battlefield"

"I know that Liu Dilie and Hebul have ambitions, and for their ambitions, they may betray me to the gold thief. But also because of their ambitions, before defeating the great enemy of the Jin State, they will not fight with the young brother unless they have to. Lulu Guleping smiled: "Brother, you sit in Fanyang for me, as long as you don't have an accident, Liu Dilie will not dare to blow up." ”

After sending off Lulu Guleping, Puliu Ru Bosheng returned to Fengsheng Prefecture and convened a meeting of the guards of Xuande, Huai'an, and Huailai. They seized Fengsheng Prefecture and the task of connecting the steppe tribes had been completed, and there was no need for the four main regiments to stay in Fengsheng Prefecture.

Puliu Ru Bosheng left Zhao Bangjie's 16th Regiment to guard Fengshengzhou, and then took the 11th, 12th, and 13th regiments south to return to Feihu, and then boarded a boat to retreat to the east of the river. They will rest and recuperate in Wutai before joining the Hebei battlefield.

Just when Lulu Guleping had just captured Fengsheng Prefecture and was fighting with the Zubu people, the front line of Hebei and Xiongzhou, the two armies of Song and Jin had been facing each other here for more than ten days.

The soldiers who were on the night guard beat the drum of the third watch, and a rush of footsteps came from outside the tent. After two or three barely audible whispers, a guard walked out of the account. "General?" He whispered through the tabernacle.

Hu Yangeng put on his clothes and recognized the voice of the guard: "What's the matter?" Come in and say. ”

The person who came said in a low voice and hurriedly: "General, Cangzhou has changed." Zhang Yiqian transferred Wang Yuan's troops to the north to take over Cangzhou. ”

The gentle night suddenly became a golden iron horse. Hu Yangeng briefly ordered, "Tell me." ”

The soldier handed over a military newspaper. It was written by Xuanzan, the commander of the camp in Cangzhou.

After Hu Yangeng finished watching the military report, his expression changed drastically, he almost stood unsteadily, barely restrained, and sat down with his help. A basin of ice water, poured from the head, his hands and feet were cold, and he had never encountered such a dangerous thing since he led the army.

"What's wrong? Will be the Lord. ”

Sunshine, green shade, hall, cold, Hu Yangeng waved his hand and ordered: "Pass Qiu Muling Zhonglian to come." The soldiers didn't dare to slack off, so they walked away, and before they reached the door, Hu Yangeng changed his mind and dragged him back, "Slowly, slowly, let me think about it again." ”

Open the military newspaper, look at ten lines at a glance, and read it again. Xuanzan wrote: "Wang Yuan's army went north, and the last general was ordered by his wife to put all kinds of important things such as grain, grass, iron, and other important things into the Cangzhou Prefecture City, Cangzhou Jiancheng, and support it in January. Only Zhang Yun's envoy is stationed in Tanggu, and there is no news yet, so I don't know what the situation is. ”

Hu Yangeng calmed down a little, Xuanzan was ordered by Zhang Chan to retreat to Cangzhou City, with Wang Yuanzhi's incompetence, Cangzhou's hometown is still safe, but Zhang Yantang in Tanggu, why didn't he send a letter?
