Thousands of felt tents and tens of thousands of shepherds lasted two and a half days just by setting up camp.

On the afternoon of the third day, the tent of the silent sweat arrived belatedly, and the huge sweat tent was not completed until the evening, and when the khan's banner was erected, the sky was already dark.

The people inside and outside were still busy, the Khan's bed was set up in a large bed full of velvet, and a heating stove was to be built next to it, and the Khan's many wives were directing the slaves to arrange everything in their own tents.

The tent is divided into two parts, the front part serves as the council hall, and this part has been completed, both for the exterior and for the interior.

Two-thirds of the sweat tent is buried in the ground, and a large pit is dug underground, and in order to prevent the soft sand wall from collapsing, a layer of sheep dung is also laid around and on the ground, which not only fixes the wall, but also greatly increases the temperature inside the tent.

After all this is done, the sweat tent is erected, and the tapestry that has both decorative effect and can keep warm from the cold is hung around, and the soft blanket is spread on the ground, and the sweat tent only exposes the ground but the height of one person is high, and the top of the tent is also covered with sheep dung, so once you enter the tent, the strange cold outside the tent is like two shijie, warm as spring.

Mo Si wore a fluffy robe and sat cross-legged in front of the desk.

Several important leaders such as Moon, Zhutu, Chibikli, and Su Mumu had arrived from their tribes at some point and sat on his left and right.

"Whoa!"

There was a sound of a vessel breaking from the back tent, followed by a whistling of lashes and a cry of anguish, and Khedun lashed, cursed, and roared, and a clumsy slave broke her things, which, judging by her scolding, must have broken her nightpot.

Mo Si was not affected in the slightest, he had long been accustomed to focusing on his own business in all kinds of noisy and chaotic environments.

Chebikli brought his scouts. Ever since he received the order of the Mosi Khan, he sent people to infiltrate Hebei Province as quickly as possible.

"After the villain arrived in Hebei Province, he carefully explored for a long time, and the cities he passed through were very stable, and all the cities opened and closed the city gates as usual, and did not close the city and strictly prohibit entry and exit, just to beware of Khitan spies, strengthened interrogation and inspection, fortunately, the villain spoke fluent Chinese, and there was a 'pass' bought at a high price from the border army. So it didn't arouse their suspicions. ”

Mo Si didn't want to listen to how hard he worked and how risky, cut off his words and asked, "Is there any news of the Khitans?" ”

The scout said: "Li Quanzhong's death is already well known in Hebei, even if it is a child playing on the street, if you ask him." He knew that Li Quanzhong died at the hands of General Li Duozuo and was killed in the Battle of Macheng. The Khitans were indeed defeated in Macheng. It is said that more than 30,000 people died......"

Mo Si frowned. Said: "It is said? ”

The scout smiled bitterly, "Yes! It is impossible for the villain to pass through the layers of defense to rush to Macheng, it is true that he heard what people said, but the villain walked through three cities in a row, and the people in the city said so. In addition, the villain also saw a large number of Khitan captives in two of the cities, adding up to at least six or seven thousand. ”

Moon stroked his beard. Shen said: "The Khitans are brave, and they are all cavalry, so it is not easy to capture. Moreover, they defeated the Zhou army twice, and the enmity between the two sides was as deep as the sea. Once the battle is won, the Zhou army is unlikely to take prisoners, and it is normal to kill prisoners. If there were six or seven thousand prisoners in this case, then more than half of the casualties would be credible! ”

Mo Si nodded, lowered his gaze and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "You say...... If you go to the area around Macheng, you need to cross layers of defenses, what is going on? ”

The scout said: "The villain disguised himself as an iron dealer and wanted to hire people to trade in Qianjinye, but those carriage and horse dealers told me that they couldn't get through it at all now, and the Zhou army had laid down layers of defense and besieged the Khitans." The villain was not at ease, so he deliberately tried it, but he only walked more than 200 miles to the east, and it was difficult to enter an inch again, and it was impossible to have a 'passing place' in hand.

The villain had an idea, bought some wine and food, invited the little school with the card to eat wine, and asked him when he would be able to do business in Qianjinye, and he told me that Wu Youyi's Northern Route Army had advanced to the line of Lulongshan and Shicheng, Lou Shide had advanced to the area of Yutian, and Sha Qi Zhongyi had Chen soldiers on the line of Yongnu and Huangzhuangwa.

He told me not to worry, the Khitan people can be annihilated at any time, but the weather is cold, the code is easy, if you advance, it is easy for the Khitan people to take the opportunity to break through, so now you can only be steady and steady, advancing layer by layer, before the spring at the latest, the Khitan people will definitely be destroyed! ”

He slurred three high-fives, summoned a guard, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the back and tell Kedun, quickly get my treasured map of Hebei Province!" ”

Listening to the unabated shouting and whipping in the back, Mo Si frowned again: "Just put that clumsy slave to death, don't affect the Khan's deliberations!" ”

The guard hurriedly agreed to retreat.

There were basically no maps of the Turks on the Wuzhou side, their tribes changed fields on average once every half a month, there was no settlement at all, and there was no topography that could be used as a sign in geography, and the maps that they worked hard to draw were not useful to a half-baked guide.

The Turks, on the other hand, for whom the mountains, roads, and cities of the Han people were fixed and unchanged for thousands of years, and the rivers were rarely diverted, and the maps of the Han regions were really useful to them, although their maps were as rudimentary as Li Duozuo's maps, but they were still marked with obvious names of mountains, rivers, and cities.

The sheepskin map was quickly retrieved, and the back tent also stopped the sound of whipping, scolding, and shouting.

The map was spread on the case, and he looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Li Duozuo himself should still be in the area of Macheng and Qianjinye!" Wu Youyi's army arrived in Shicheng, Lou Shide arrived in Yutian, Sha Qi Zhongyi, Chen Bing Yu Yongnu, and Huangzhuang Wa ......"

When he spread out the map, Moon and Chibikli and others crowded around him to watch together, at this time, Xiao Mumu stretched out his thick fingers, circled the map, and said in a deep voice: "Heavy troops on three sides, a sea on one side, only lakes and mountains around, there is no big city, and the Khitans are trapped and killed here." ”

Seljuk said: "In this way, the Khitan envoys have told lies, they want us to leave Hebei and use us to relieve the siege for him!" ”

Mo Si's face was cloudy, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "There is also a Wu Yi Sect." He has an army of 100,000 in his hands, where is he? ”

The scout said: "Wu Yizong Chen soldiers are on the front line of Huai'an, Zhuolu, and Flying Fox. ”

As soon as Mo Si lowered his head, he immediately found these places on the map, because the last time he went out of Hebei, he was divided from Huai'an and Flying Fox, so he was especially familiar with the location here.

Mo Si sneered: "The Tang people are not at ease with us, and they have placed 100,000 soldiers here to prevent us from taking advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

The 100,000 Zhou army, if it is a field battle, does not put it in the eyes of Mo Si. But if you defend the city, it will be a headache. Although Wu Yizong, the pig riding general, is the commander, and his escape doctrine has long been famous, if Wu Yizong gets the death order of the Great Zhou Emperor, he is resolutely not allowed to retreat. Then with these 100,000 people guarding the city, Mo Si is not sure to defeat it.

Zhu Tu said: "On the other hand, it also explains. The forces they used to encircle and suppress the Khitans were sufficient. Therefore, Wu Yizong's 100,000 talents are placed here as a reserve, to the west to resist our invasion, and to the east to help at any time! ”

Mo Si nodded slowly.

Seljuk couldn't wait to say, "Khan, then what should we do?" ”

Mo Si narrowed his eyes slightly, and said leisurely: "Tomorrow, summon the envoys of the Khitan and Zhou people to my sweat tent." Come, too, and take counsel with the army. ”

"Ahh

A terrible scream came from outside the tent, and the poor worm, who had the misfortune of breaking the Turkic queen's urinal, swallowed in the cold wind......

Early the next morning. Yang Fan saw the khan's banner raised, and immediately came to ask for a meeting.

Mo Si was having breakfast, and when he heard that the envoy of Wu Zhou took the initiative to ask to see him, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly called someone to call Yang Fan in to ask, Yang Fan solemnly condemned Mo Si's attitude of delaying the implementation of his promise, and complained that their diet and accommodation conditions were too poor, which was really unbearable, Zuihou insisted that Mo Si immediately send someone to escort them back to Hebei Province, they were fed up!

Mo Si said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will take time to dispatch troops." You Central Plains people mobilize troops and horses once, the fastest is half a month and a month, and the slow is three months and half a year, even if the athletes on my grassland are less dragged and do not need a lot of supplies, it is impossible to just leave!

Ben Khan has been preparing these days, and he will be ready to send troops soon. Hehe, Ben Khan is going to convene the heads of all the tribes to discuss here, and they have all arrived on the orders of Ben Khan, so you might as well listen to it! ”

When he said this, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "That's right! The Khitans also sent an envoy, and what they said was quite different from yours, and in a while, you might as well confront it in front of you, otherwise it would not be enough to persuade my people to send troops! ”

When he said this, he stared at Yang Fan for a moment, observing the change in his expression.

Yang Fan's face did not change, and he said unceremoniously: "The Khan's temptation is very boring!" This time, when your tribe was changing the field and looking for the winter nest, a group of people came to us like crazy to provoke us, and then we knew that the Khitans had also sent people, and I believe that your subordinates will not fail to report this matter to you.

What is true is true, what is false is false, what is there to confront it? The Khitans are vassals of our court, they are rebellious, the Khan has now formed an alliance with our court, they should kill the Khitan envoy and make their position clear, instead of letting him come to hostage us, they are not qualified!

Also, whether the Khan decides to send troops or not, we plan to go back! Without your country, we can still destroy them, and although it will cost more money to trap them, we can afford to spend them! If the leaders of your country are unwilling to send troops, then the khan should not be reluctant, so repeated temptations are very boring! ”

Mo Si smiled and said, "No, no, no, of course Ben Khan believes in you!" Otherwise, how would they agree to send troops? The Khitan people's lies, Ben Khan has actually seen through it a long time ago, and when the leaders of the various tribes are summoned in a while, I will explain this matter for you. Haha, your envoy hasn't had breakfast yet, come on, come on, you might as well dine with Ben Khan! ”

Mo Si ordered someone to serve Yang Fan the same breakfast as himself on the low table next to him, Yang Fan was full of displeasure, reluctantly walked over, and sat down in the position of a distinguished guest!

P: In the early hours of the morning, I sincerely ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!! (To be continued......)
