Before Song Jiu came forward, Wu Xuanming stood in front of the army and spoke: "Brothers, I am very grateful for everyone's cooperation in the past two years, so that the Tongjiang River Basin to the northern foot of Changbai Mountain can unite and develop together, no longer kill and poke, and the happy time is coming." ”

Not all of them agreed, but most of them were still very much in favor, and due to the disguised support of the Song Dynasty, the lives of many tribes have improved in the past two years. In the past, the tribe even had an iron pot like a treasure, but now there are not only iron pots, but also those inexplicable farm tools, and all kinds of weapons and armor. And he got a lot of silk and silk, as well as ceramics and other utensils that he needed.

In particular, the small clans were in favour of such annexation.

But Wu Xuanming changed his voice and suddenly said: "But the emperor of Liao issued an edict to let us send more than 10,000 troops to Youzhou to deal with the Song Dynasty." Where is the weather very hot, this does not count, I heard that in Mancheng, 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State, only 30,000 people came back, and the 100,000 troops in front of Yanmen Pass only came back half, and even the main general and the horse were killed by the Song Dynasty. After receiving this edict, I was restless in my sleep. ”

If Liao Jingzong is here, he can die alive.

But there's such a thing.

After receiving Wu Xuanming's recital, Liao Jingzong immediately issued an edict and asked Wu Xuanming to send 10,000 troops to Youzhou. As soon as so many troops were drawn, Wu Xuanming was obedient. If it is fake, then it proves that he has bad intentions, and he has to find a way to deal with it.

This edict is still there, and Wu Xuanming asked people to pass it on and let everyone see it.

The entire Northeast is backward, and there are not many people who can read and write, let alone edicts written in Khitan script, but there are.

There was a commotion.

The entire depths of Liaodong are sparsely populated, and there is not much of all the people added together. For example, now there are a third of the warriors of all ethnic groups gathered outside the city, and there are only more than 10,000 people.

Why send 10,000 soldiers and horses to Youzhou.

And they are not disgusted with the Song Dynasty. Few people know the identity of Song Jiu, but these Song people came to help them. Training armies, teaching farming, trading with each other, providing support for supplies and weapons, friends of the Far South.

Why do you want to attack them?

And Youzhou is so far away.

Wu Xuanming's face was embarrassed: "You don't agree, so what should we do?" ”

Not only this conscription of 10,000 troops, including the previous tribute from Wu Xuanming, Wu Xuanming said to the Khitan that I voluntarily paid tribute, but to the tribes said that this was forced by the Khitan to pay us. The items of tribute were mainly horse furs and sea dongqing. In the past, the Khitan also let the Jurchen tribes pay tribute, it was Hai Dongqing, mainly Hai Dongqing, it seemed that it was only an eagle, but Hai Dongqing was difficult to catch, so the folk said that nine deaths and one life are rare for a divine eagle, Wu Xuanming only slightly increased the number of tributes to Hai Dongqing, and the tribes were not stopped.

And so this hatred deepened bit by bit.

Where did the Khitan come up with it?

Just like the Song Dynasty, would he have thought that there would be some earth-shattering tricks at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou? It was the package inquiry system set up by Song Jiu that came out. The Song Dynasty could only understand the situation of some tribes in the border areas, and it was useless to inquire about what bags in the depths!

The two situations are very similar.

Moreover, the entire Tongjiang River basin is sparsely populated, and all the strong men together may not exceed 100,000 people. This also includes some tribes in the deep forests of the old mountains that have not been discovered so far, how to extract 10,000 strong men?

Therefore, after Wu Xuanming finished speaking, many clan leaders shouted in their mouths.

But the Khitan was strong. Some tribes hoped that Wu Xuanming sent envoys to accommodate the Liao Emperor and asked for a reduction in numbers.

Wu Xuanming is very democratic. Let everyone consult, and let the tribes send out warriors. Come to the river to break the ice net fish.

No matter how you deal with it, everyone has to eat.

Begin to kill the fish you catch and prepare to make a fire to grill the fish.

At this moment, there was a sudden scream, many people crowded over to watch, it turned out that a soldier cut a big fish, there was a cloth in it, the soldier opened the cloth curiously, there was a Haidongqing on the cloth, spread its wings and fly above the blue sky and white clouds, and there were faint mountains and mountains below.

Many people wondered how this cloth got into the belly of the fish, and suddenly an old man knelt down and muttered prayers.

Everyone around them came to their senses and knelt down together.

Although the Jurchens caught Hai Dongqing, they used it to hunt, and each Hai Dongqing treated them very well. This is different from the Khitan, they are mostly used to hunt geese and geese, called not forgetting the ancestors of the martial arts, in fact, it is used for pleasure and pastime. And Hai Dongqing is the totem of all Jurchens.

This cloth magically appeared in the belly of the big fish, and let everyone catch it, and it was caught by this collection, and the eagle on it flew up again, although there was no word, but it was inevitably reminiscent of Pianpiao.

Wu Xuanming solemnly walked over and invited the high priest Bu Tian again.

The high priest danced with his hands, and after most of the day, he said loudly: "The Khitan should be destroyed, and the Bohai Sea should be prosperous." ”

Then he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Originally, the jurisdiction of the Bohai State included the northeast of Goryeo, the southwest was close to the Tokyo Prefecture of the Liao State, and reached Yingzhou at its peak, and the northern part included Tieli and most of the Five Kingdoms, all the way to the sea, only the northern area belonged to the Heishui Ya region, with a population of more than 5 million. That is, more than ninety percent of the people in this gathering belong to the remnants of the Bohai State.

More than 50 years ago, the Bohai Kingdom collapsed, and many Bohai people were unwilling to accept the rule of the Khitans and fled to Goryeo, which also led to the enmity between Goryeo and the Khitan. Some of them fled to the depths of Liaodong and integrated into the Jurchen tribe, and since then the Jurchens and Bohai people have merged together and are inseparable from each other. The rest were migrated by the Khitan several times and scattered in the upper central south and the Sijing area of Tokyo. As a result, the core area of the Bohai Sea is almost uninhabited, and the Bohai people who have integrated into the Jurchen have lost their civilization inheritance, and their lives have become more and more backward.

More than 50 years have passed, and although it has almost become a distant memory, many Bohai people still know the Tao through the old people, and it has led to endless rebellions throughout Liaodong, including the uprising of Andingguo, the uprising of Yan Po and Wu Xuanming.

History is a tradition and a shackle.

After hearing these words, everyone was silent, and suddenly someone said to Wu Xuanming: "It's against the damn." ”

These are all small measures, but they are enough in the northeast.

In addition, some well-intentioned people spread rumors that the Khitan was beaten by the Song Dynasty in the south. The country is about to die. So overnight, almost seventy percent of the leaders of the tribe asked Wu Xuanming to take the initiative to stand up. Lead everyone to rebel against the Khitan and rebuild the Great Bohai Kingdom.

Unity is strength. Wu Xuanming agreed to everyone's request. So they discussed again, and what they could discuss was nothing more than to be crowned a king. There are even some tribes with only a few hundred people, and the leader even fished out a prince. Moreover, as before, the wealth obtained by sending troops, even including the population, was distributed according to the strength and exploits of the various tribes, but because of the use of troops in the south. The income will be more, and it will have to be re-detailed. Hearing this, hundreds of leaders felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Song Jiu calmly watched everything that had happened.

Hou Zhongxun said: "Song Gong, people's hearts can also be used. ”

This stay has been more than two years, most of the people brought by Song Jiu have been fully trained, and several of the students not only have technical talents, but also political talents, including Hou Zhongxun around Song Jiu. An Dingzhong, Liu Yun, Cen Hao, and Liu An who stayed in Wuya City.

Song Jiu also took a fancy to these five people. If you are gone, martial arts cannot be ignored, and Wenzhi should not be taken lightly. There must be some talents to support Wu Xuanming to maintain this country. Not only them. Song Jiu also assisted Wu Yan and cultivated several management talents. A stable rear is the foundation of the fierce war between the Bohai State and the Khitan.

Except for students. There are also generals, Gao Qiong and himself are about to return to the capital, but Yang Yanyu and Yang Yanzhao have to stay for a few years, in addition to these two people, there is also Shi Pu, it seems that he is Zhao Kuangyi's mansion, Song Jiu did not ask Shi Pu, this line of Song Jiu's request is to bring a few young generals, but in addition to Yang Ye's two sons, Song Jiu did not say anything else, Zhao Kuangyi secretly selected several generals, including Shi Pu, Wei Shaomin and others, among which Shi Wei and Han Zi performed the most outstandingly.

And through constant fighting, these people have also grown sufficiently. Not only that, but Song Jiu also paid attention to Wu Xuanming through their performance in the battle, pointed out more than a dozen warriors, and asked him to focus on training, and if they didn't become them, they would be the mainstay of Wu Xuanming.

After all, Hou Zhongxun and the others will go back in two or three years.

Song Jiu shook his head: "Not yet, there must be two or three big victories, then everyone will have confidence, and then it will be called people's hearts." You have remembered that the tricks in the art of war in the crooked ways can be used but not commonly used, and the right way is the fundamental. ”

"Whoa."

With the division of tasks, the rear also has to send people to stay, but also to prepare the grain and grass materials with the army, the latter is not as troublesome as the Song army, the Khitan people fight the grass valley, the Jurchens fight the grass valley, and they are the same as the Khitan, bring some beef jerky and dried fish, put it on horseback, you can manage it for a long time, and the Jurchens can endure hardships more than the Khitans at this time.

However, the city still has to be built in the rear.

At this time, the entire eastern Liaodong region was extremely backward, and it was not until more than 30 years later that the Khitan gradually attached importance to the Jurchens, and the Liao Shengzong led the civil and military people to Nashui (Nenjiang), Yuerluo (Moon Bubble) and Changchun Prefecture (the ancient city of Sijiazi) for spring bowls.

Then several cities were built, and the Khitan were finally able to control the area, at least in the western part of Huanglongfu, which the Khitan had complete control. But now there is none, all the way to Jinshan (Daxinganling), there is no city. However, there is a road from Jinshan to the capital of Liaoguo, so two more cities must be built in Changchunzhou.

The Jurchens in the city are still not used to it, and after the city is built, there are not many people who enter the city. Even if they enter the city, they also advocate transformation, dig out the basement in the city, like they used to, live in the cave in winter, and chase water and grass in summer, not because they want to be groundhogs, but because it is too cold in Liaodong in winter. It wasn't until some cotton clothes and quilts were shipped from the Song Dynasty that the situation improved slightly. It doesn't matter, what Song Jiu wants is not how many people there will be in the city, but the commercial value, which can connect the various tribes, as well as the value of stored materials, and the most important thing is the military significance.

Wu Xuanming discussed with everyone for a day, and sent people to welcome this piece of cloth back to Ujak City as a holy relic, and more than 10,000 people rushed to Tongzhou City under the banner of recovering the Bohai Sea and expelling the Khitan.

The city guard of Tongzhou is the timid and fearful Yelu Anpu.

After hearing this, he immediately sent someone to inform Liao Jingzong, and at the same time strengthened the defense.

However, he underestimated the birth of Jurchen at this time, and received a large number of weapons support from the Song Dynasty, which was far from that time.

And after Yan Po went to protect the city of Wuya, the Huanglong Mansion was destroyed, and Yelu Anpu had to retreat to Tongzhou with the remaining 1,000 households to build a city here, the city was small and the troops were small.

After only one day of defense, he was captured, and Yelu'an fled in a hurry.

The army slowly entered the city, divided the spoils of war and quickly took it again, and had to seize the strategic Xianzhou before the ice and snow melted.

A few days later, Xianzhou took it again.

Didn't go any further south.

Song Jiu first asked Wu Xuanming to send envoys to appease the surrounding tribes, and the weather was warmer at this time, so he asked the soldiers to take mud and cut wood and build the two cities of Xianzhou and Tongzhou at the same time, with Xianzhou as the main and Tongzhou as the auxiliary.

It turns out that these two cities also have simple city walls, but they have nothing to do with tallness, and can only be said to be a military camp, unable to resist the approaching Liao army.

Wu Xuanming felt a little puzzled, and came over to ask, "Duke Song, why don't you let us lead the army south?" ”

"Great king, the larger the territory, the more population and resources will have, and the stronger the national strength will be."

Wu Xuanming nodded, in fact, he came to ask, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have national strength, but after going south, the population begins to be dense, and he can grab more wealth.

"But how many people are behind you, my lord? A short distance to the south is the Liao Kingdom Tokyo City, which can be captured to gain a lot of wealth, but the city begins to be dense, and each city has some armed force, and when it hits anywhere, the casualties will be very heavy. The battle line is long, far from the rear, sparsely populated, the rear has a big loophole, it is close to the Liao State, the Liao army is easy to reach, and Tokyo is not Xianzhou, once it is taken, the Liao State will work hard with you. As long as they fail, they will immediately surrender to different battles and be torn apart. ”

Song Jiu said patiently.

And this is also a fact, the Khitan at this time is not the later Khitan, Song Jiu and Wu Xuanming are together, and they are not Wanyan Aguda.

"That's why I'm building a city here, and with a city comes a defense. And it's far away from Liao, because we're not too high-profile, so this time Liao won't send heavy troops, so there are many opportunities to defeat them. Once defeated, with a big victory in hand, all ethnic groups will be full of confidence. At that time, depending on the situation, you can go south, you can hold on. ”

"The Liao State will send a large army immediately?"

"Bound to come!" (To be continued......)
