The pirate leaders who had experienced a night battle and a blood sacrifice did not feel sleepy, and gathered on the "Tang Long" to wait for the follow-up of the first robbery.

Jia Yu's pirate style was full, licking the blood stains on his fists, walked in front of the twenty-one captured soldiers, and said in a cold voice: "Two choices, one is to know the times, join us immediately, become a member of the Datang Overseas Legion, and live happily overseas together!" The other is to continue to resist stubbornly, so that our brothers who have not seen blood today will open the meat, practice their hands, and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish! ”

After speaking, Jia Yuhang picked up the nearest Southern Han soldier, stared at him hatefully and said, "I'll only give you three numbers of time to think, one-two-"

"I'm joining! I'm joining! I join you! The soldier was so frightened that he repeatedly agreed.

With someone taking the lead, no one is stupid enough to pick the wrong answer! After the First World War, there were quite a few "expeditionary forces", but there were 21 new members.

Jia Yuhang walked up to the six captured young women again, and the women, who were weeping profusely, observed his actions and immediately screamed desperately, while moving their bodies to hide behind.

Jia Yuhang snorted dissatisfiedly, and muttered in his mouth: "If it weren't for Lord Lin's insistence and request to give everyone a chance to choose, none of you would have thought about ......it today."

A burst of anger surged in his chest, Jia Yuhang grabbed the clothes on a woman's chest, picked her up, and roared: "Say! Which one do you choose, to serve on the ship, to serve one of us, to be happy with all the brothers, or to go down to the sea to feed the fish? ”

The woman's face was full of tears, and she nodded repeatedly, but she was speechless.

"Say! If you don't say it, then be happy with all our brothers! Jia Yuhang roared hatefully, and the spit sprayed directly on the woman's face.

"Miscellaneous servants, I choose miscellaneous ...... Miscellaneous Servants! The woman burst into tears and said her choice.

Jia Yuhang sighed and threw the woman to the ground. The four women who followed also chose to work as odd laborers.

Jia Yuhang was even more angry, glaring at the youngest and most beautiful woman. The woman trembled, glanced quickly at the man at the bow of the boat from under her loose hair, lowered her head again, and said in a barely audible voice, "I choose to accompany someone......"

The pirates on board immediately burst into laughter and shouted, "Choose me, choose me!" Cao Shang, who was shirtless, bulged out his muscles, approached the woman and said, "Choose me!" The strongest one in the army will surely satisfy you! ”

The woman exclaimed, jumped backwards, her eyes quickly glanced at Yi Wuxian who was smiling behind her, and bowed her head again and stopped talking.

Jia Yuhang saw her action, and immediately understood her intentions, and with both hands, he picked up the woman and smashed it towards Yi Wuxian, and roared wildly: "I hate all the little white faces in the world!" ”

The pirates looked at the somewhat helpless Yi Wuxian and the irascible Jia Yuhang, as well as the disappointed Cao Shang, and they all laughed wildly!

With a cool breeze blowing in his face, the fleet turned off its lights and continued to sail towards the unknown south.

At the same time that Jia Yuhang and the others were leading the fleet southward, in the territory of Liao, which was extremely far away from them, there were hundreds of tribal armies and villagers who were galloping one after another, gathering from all directions in the direction of Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and Xijin Mansion in Nanjing.

This is because the edict of Yelu Ruan of Yuan Shizong has already spread all over the prairie, forcing the chiefs of all ethnic groups to lead the elite soldiers to gather and collectively go south to "fight the autumn wind"!

As early as August, the Northern Han Emperor Liu Chong sent an envoy to the Liao State, saying that he would send Li Cun to lead troops from Tuanbai (now Fenxi County, Shanxi) south in September to Hou Zhou, and asked Yuan Shizong Yelu Ruan to send troops south to attack the puppet dynasty.

Yelu Ruan, who was participating in the autumn bowl, was very interested and consulted with the chiefs of the various tribes who accompanied the team at the Ninety-Nine Springs. Although the chiefs tried their best to dissuade them from taking a break to recuperate for a year, Yelu Ruan had made up his mind and ordered the chiefs to arrive on time, and he himself led a large army to the south and arrived at Xianggu Mountain in Guihua Prefecture (present-day Xuanhua County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province) in early September, and stationed at Huoshendian.

The Liao State's "bowl", that is, the meaning of "camp", "line", and "camp", is used to distinguish it from the palace tent of the imperial capital. Although the Liao State successively took Beijing and Central China as its political center, it also "patrolled at four o'clock" every year, and "each had its own place at four o'clock, which was called a bowl".

After Liao Taizong took the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, although the territory expanded to the vast area south of the Great Wall, in order to maintain the economic life of the Khitan people who were good at riding and archery and good at war, they still lived a life of "migrating at any time, and taking chariots and horses as their home". "History of Liao" recorded: "Liao has a desert, soaked in the Great Wall, because of the appropriate governance, autumn and winter against the cold, spring and summer to escape the heat, with the water and grass on the fishing, the year is normal."

In the course of the year, the autumn bowl is from mid-July to September, and the main content is to go into the mountains to shoot and hunt, hunt tigers and deer, so it is also called "autumn mountain". The Autumn Mountain event has a very strong political ceremony color like the spring water event, and there are banquets and other activities in the hunt, and there is also the function of practicing martial arts and teaching war.

When he arrived at Huoshendian, Yelu Ruan, who was still unsatisfied, continued to ride and hunt every day, shooting deer and tigers that did not have long eyes, killing subordinates who did not like their eyes, roaring proud mountains and forests, and was very busy.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, the major chiefs arrived one after another, and after Yelu Ruan, who was very interested, led the crowd to sacrifice the dead of Taizong, he held a banquet to entertain the ministers and the chiefs of various departments, and he himself was also drunk and was helped into the inner tent left and right.

Since then, the drama of seizing the throne, which is commonplace on the prairie, has been officially released:

In the dead of night, Yelu Chacha, the king of Yan, and Yelu Ngai, the son of the great king, led some chiefs who really did not want to go south and rushed into the inner tent with swords. Yelu Cha cut took a steel knife that he bought at a high price from Lin Feng and hacked Yelu Ruan Sheng, who was still asleep, to death!

In the blood-spattered tent, Jeruzachel set himself king with the support of some of the chieftains.

But that's just the beginning of the show!

Yelu Ruan's son Yelu Shulu fled into Nanshan in the chaos, gathered the tribal chieftains who supported him, and instead led his troops to raid the monks Yelu Cha Che and Yelu Na Li, who were in their hearts.

The most dramatic thing is that Yelu Shulu's gang successfully counterattacked, not only killing Yelu Chacha and his gang who had not yet sat on the throne, but also successfully annexed these people's tribal henchmen, and proclaimed themselves emperor in Huoshendian that night, changing the year name to the calendar!

At this point, Liao Muzong, who was called the "sleeping king" by the Liao people because of "frequent alcoholism, sleeping at dawn, waking up at noon, and ignoring the government for a long time", officially stepped onto the stage of history!

On the morning of September 5, Yelu Shulu, who had stabilized the overall situation, sent people from Huoshendian to Youzhou, and then to the Northern Han Dynasty to inform the Northern Han Emperor Liu Chong of the great changes last night.

Also at midnight on the 5th (9 o'clock), in the residence of King Xi not far south of Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, Liao State, a group of people dressed in green grass suddenly appeared strangely at the foot of the mountain on the west side, and the three people led by them were all Han people, who were Hu Yanjie, Ma Jie, and Xiaohai who led a group of guards from Xi Wangfu into the mountain for special closed training.

When they came to a small Xi camp where they had been replenished before entering the mountain, they found that the people here were preparing weapons and packing up. When I asked, I realized that they had all received orders, and the adult male was about to go south with the team to attack Hou Zhou.

When the three of them heard the news, they changed color, whistled, and led the Khitan masters who did not know the reason to start running wildly, and went straight to the ancient cliff residence Xi Wangfu located on the east mountain.

Without him, Lin Feng had confessed to them when he broke up with them in May, asking them to pay close attention to the high-level movements of the Khitan, especially the war between the Liao State and the Zhou State, and at that time he also vaguely revealed his prediction to them that the future war was very likely to be a super melee among the countries in the world.

Hu Yanjie, Ma Jie, and Xiaohai, who rushed to King Xi's mansion, found Shu Lucheng as soon as possible, and urgently asked what the situation was outside? Is there any news from Wushou Prefecture?

Shu Lucheng, who had just received the news of the change in Huoshendian, tried his best to reassure them, saying that there might be changes in the matter of going south, and asked the three of them to be calm and restless. As for Zhou Guo and Shouzhou, there is no new news at present.

The three of them were anxious and went crazy to find out the news. Because the three of them had shown their amazing strength in the internal competition of King Xi's Mansion at the beginning, and they had a certain prestige in the mansion, the special training team members and some familiar subordinates patted their chests and swore that they would definitely inquire with their hearts.

In the evening, Harchi, the youngest in the special training team, mysteriously found the residence of Xiaohai and the three of them, and revealed to them that the Liao State was bent on fighting with the Later Zhou not only because of the appointment with the Northern Han to join forces, but also heard that the secret report had been received, and the Later Zhou originally intended to unite with Wu Yue and the Southern Han to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty this winter, which increased the idea that the Liao State would take advantage of the opportunity.

Harchi's father is the big chief of the Zhonga Hui Department of Xi Liubu, and this source should be reliable!

The frightened Xiaohai stood up, and before he could speak, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the window: "You dare to divulge the secret of King Xi's mansion, and you will take it for me!" ”

The owner of the voice is none other than the eldest lady of King Xi's Mansion - Shulu Nasi!
