Although Shuluping was very brutal, she was also a strong woman, and during her reign, something happened that shocked the entire Khitan, that is, she swung a knife and cut off her right hand and sent it to the tomb of Yelu Abaoji to be "martyred".

Why would she do it?

At that time, Shu Luping, who eradicated dissidents, met a tricky Han official, this person was called Zhao Siwen, originally this person was the assassin of Pingzhou, and surrendered Yelu Deguang in the Battle of Youzhou, it stands to reason that he should be Yelu Deguang's henchman. However, because Shu Luping has always been wary of Yelubei, who is bent on sinicization, and because she is bent on maintaining Khitan traditions, she has a distrustful attitude towards Han officials.

Han people are different from Khitans, Shuluping only needs to open his mouth and say to a certain Khitan, you go to accompany the first emperor, the first emperor told me in a dream last night that he misses you. These one-tendon Khitans will basically commit suicide immediately, and in this Zhao Siwen, Shu Luping suffered a loss, after Shu Luping asked him to ask for a funeral, this Zhao Siwen directly told her: "Queen, the closest person to the first emperor back then was you, why didn't you go to the funeral?" Let's go, the first emperor may not be happy, if you go, he will definitely be happy. ”

Shu Luping was stunned when he heard it, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also stupid, thinking that this buddy named Zhao Siwen was awesome, only he dared to say so, but Shu Luping responded lightly: "The children are young and weak, the country has no owner, and I can't follow the emperor for the time being." ”

After speaking, Shu Luping directly pulled out his knife and cut off his right hand......

This knife directly shocked all the people up and down the entire Khitan Dynasty, and also made that Zhao Siwen speechless, which made Shu Luping have the name of "Queen of Broken Wrists" in history from then on.

Of course, Shu Luping never felt sorry for Zhao Siwen since then, and also made Zhao Siwen loyal to Liao, and was posthumously named Taishi and Duke of Wei after his death.

After that, Shuluping successfully made Yelu Deguang ascend the throne as the emperor, at this time, Yelubei, who was far away in the Dongdan Kingdom, that is, the former Bohai Kingdom, knew that he had no hope, although he was called the human emperor, and also established the Dongdan Kingdom in imitation of the Han system.

Therefore, Yelu Bei, who knew that he had no hope, had to take the initiative to ask to give way to his younger brother Yelu Deguang, and he hid in the Dongdan Kingdom to pretend to be "happy", but where is it so simple? Fearing that one day Yelubei would rebel, Yelu Deguang strengthened his control over the army, and on the other hand, he directly moved the kingdom of Dongdan from Khuhan City to Dongping County (today's Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province) and renamed it Nanjing.

At the same time, Yelu Deguang also relocated a large number of inhabitants of the former Bohai Kingdom, which was the direct cause of the Khuhan City to eventually become a dead city.

At that time, most of Yelubei's army was collected under Yelu Deguang's command, but this "suzerain's army" was still in his hands, firstly, because it was given to him by the first emperor, and secondly, this suzerain's army was originally the army of Shuluping's mother's family, and it was impossible for Shuluping to take the knife from his mother's family.

But what annoys Shuluping and Yelu Deguang the most is that this army swore in front of the former emperor Yelu Abaoji that they would follow Yelu Bei for the rest of their lives, even if they wanted to join the emperor Yelu Deguang, but because they could not break the oath, they could only follow Yelu Bei, once someone wanted to harm Yelu Bei, even if it was the queen mother and the emperor, they would definitely resist to the death.

Therefore, when Yelubei was invited by Emperor Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty, Yelubei was still hesitant to take away this suzerain-led army, but because Yelubei was worried about the safety of his son Yeluruan, he finally left this suzerain-led army and accompanied his son, and was later nicknamed "Mountain Rider".

Why is it called that? It is completely derived from a poem written by Yelubei before he left the Khitan - the small mountain presses the big mountain, and the big mountain is powerless. I was ashamed to see my hometown, and I went to a foreign country from now on.

In the poem, Yelubei compares himself to a powerless mountain, and the title of the suzerain's later "mountain horseman" also comes from this, which can be regarded as the name of the Khitan internal abuse of this army at that time.

However, the combat effectiveness of the mountain cavalry was relatively strong in the Khitan army at that time, they were divided into two kinds of light and heavy cavalry, the heavy cavalry was mainly engaged in close-quarters assault combat, and the light cavalry was mainly based on long-distance attacks, so they were called the wolf head and the iron eagle department respectively at that time.

Of course, what this mountain cavalry didn't expect was that Emperor Yelu Deguang was not only very good to Yelu Ruan, Yelu Bei's son, but also treated them the same as his own descendants. But the good times didn't last long, how many years later, the Later Tang Emperor Li Siyuan died, and his son Li Conghou and his righteous son Li Congke fought for the throne, and Yelubei at that time already had a Chinese name, called Li Muhua, and was also made an official.

Li Congke finally killed Li Conghou and became the emperor, but because of his suspicion of Li Siyuan's son-in-law Shi Jingjiao, he was forced to rebel.

At this time, Yelu Bei had actually been "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and sent a secret letter to his brother Yelu Deguang, asking him to agree to Shi Jingjiao's conditions, because in this way, he could create excellent conditions for the Khitan to go south.

Of course, there is another saying in the wild history, that is, Yelubei thought that this was a good opportunity for him to return to the Khitan to regain the throne, and he secretly ordered his mountain riders to raise troops inside the Khitan when Yelu Deguang personally drove the army to attack the north and south with Shi Jingjiao's army.

But what Yelubei never expected was that Li Congke saw that the general trend was gone, and he didn't know whether he was scared stupid or had brain cramps, so he directly summoned Yelubei to Luoyang and asked him to ascend to heaven hand in hand with him.

Of course, Yelubei quit, thinking that Li Congke was a psychopath, but in Luoyang, there was nothing he could do, and he was finally killed directly by Li Congke.

When Angu repeated his master's words here, Xingshu immediately asked: "We all know this, Yelubei died in Luoyang at the age of 38, but from a series of clues we got, Yelubei did not die, maybe the one who died in Luoyang was just a stand-in, otherwise, how to explain the relics left by the Cast Iron Immortal later?" ”

Angu shook his head: "I don't know about this, my master just said that the mountain cavalry did not mutiny, but left a letter to tell Yelu Deguang and Yelu Ruan, informing them that it was time to follow Yelu Bei, so this army left the Khitan territory, originally Yelu Deguang guessed that they would probably go south, but there has been no news of them, in fact, they came to the Altai area." ”

When Lian Jiuqi heard this, he immediately said, "Could it be that the Kuhan City in the mountains was rebuilt here by Yelubei in his early years?" But it's only been a decade, how did he do it? ”

"My master said that there was another group of people waiting for them at that time, and the leader of that group was called 'Yada', which means 'Songtian' in ancient Khitan language, and in Chinese, 'prophet'. This person is riding a white horse, holding an official knife of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the Fengying Knife, and there are dark patterns of the green ox on the blade, which is exactly the same as the green ox and white horse in Khitan mythology, except that the prophet in the myth should be a man and a woman. ”

Angu's words silenced and confused the others, because there was no coherent historical data and evidence left, this history was completely a legend to them, no, the legend may still have a basis, but this is completely a myth, and there is almost no credibility.

After a long time, Mo Duqiao asked, "And then?" What happened after that? ”

When the mountain rider arrived in Altai to see the prophet, he entered the snow-capped mountain with the prophet, only to find that there were a large number of remnants of the Bohai Kingdom in the snow-capped mountain, these people found a paradise in the mountain, and rebuilt a city in it, to the surprise of the mountain riders, the prophet named this mountain city "Khan City", and the text used was also Chinese characters, and at the same time named an unfrozen river flowing in the mountains "Khan River".

"The name of Khuhan City comes from the Khuhan River, and in modern times, the Khuhan River is also referred to as today's Heilongjiang, to be precise, it should be the southern source of the Heilongjiang River, and the Khuhan River also refers to the Erguna River in the Book of Tang." Xingshu carefully recalled, "From a geographical point of view, this is not too directly related to the Khitan, how could that prophet choose to build Khan City in the Altai Mountains?" ”

Angu informed Master of this question, and Master replied, "That's because the Prophet believed that this was the root of everything, and that there was an ancient ruin here called Ten Rivers City. ”

After Angu repeated it in Chinese, Moduqiao remembered something: "In the Mughulstan region, there are two mountains, I don't remember what their names are, in short, Mughulstan means 'the land of the Mongols', north to Tarbagatai, west to Issyk-Kul and Lake Balkhash, east to the Altai Mountains, south to the oasis of the Vultures, and those two mountains are in the Altai Mountains, there was once a city built between ten rivers, which disappeared a long time ago, but those ten rivers are called' 'Wen Erhan', which translates to Turkic language, is the Khuhan River. ”

Lian Jiuqi asked, "Where did you get these information?" ”

"Rashid Din's Historiography." ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded and said, "The prime minister of the Persian Ilkhanate? ”

"Yes." Mo Duqiao nodded, "His "Collected History" is known as the famous general history of the world in the Middle Ages, and it is an important work for the study of Mongolian history, but I haven't finished reading it, because too many words in it are the nomads' own language, which seems to be particularly difficult. ”

Angu said: "The prophet rebuilt the city of Khan on the basis of the city of ten rivers, and the city was built in the valley, and the mountain was built, but then the sudden disappearance of the prophet broke out a conflict between the mountain rider and the remnants of the Bohai Sea, and the mountain rider thought that the remnants of the Bohai Sea were dissatisfied with the prophet and let them build the city of Khan and murdered the prophet, because although the prophet disappeared, he left behind the holy artifact sealing the sword, and the prophet has repeatedly said that if he encounters an accident, the soul will also be attached to the sealing knife, as long as the soul is not destroyed, he will be reincarnated as someone else one day sooner or later......"

The disappearance of the prophet has expanded the conflict between the Shanqi and the remnants of the Bohai Sea, and both sides believe that they are the most faithful prophets, so it is up to them to protect the relics left by the prophet and wait for the return of the prophet's reincarnation with these relics.

Although the remnants of the Bohai Sea were several times larger than the mountain riders, they had not received combat training, and their bodies were not as strong and tall as the mountain riders.

The mountain riders with the Sealed Blade left the city of Khuhan, but there was a dispute over where to settle down halfway, and the people of the wolf head thought that they should reach the area of Dahu Lake, firstly because their ancestors were born and raised in the grassland, and secondly because the reincarnation of the prophet had to pass through the grassland to enter the Four Seasons Mountain.

The warriors of the Iron Eagle Division disagreed, and they thought that the remnants of the Bohai Sea would always be a trouble, and they should guard the Four Seasons Mountain and build an ice city there, so as to not only wait for the return of the Prophet, but also suppress the remnants of the Bohai Sea who might come down the mountain at any time to steal the relics of the Prophet.

The dispute yielded no result, and the two sides were tense and almost used force, but finally it was agreed that the wolf head would be stationed in the grassland with the Sealing Sword, waiting for the prophet, while the Iron Eagle would be in the snowy mountains, containing the remnants of the Bohai Sea.

In the first few years, the two sides still respected each other like guests, and took care of each other from time to time, so they spent nearly two hundred years without incident, and in these two hundred years, the remnants of Bohai never left the Four Seasons Mountain, and the wolf head and the iron eagle department did not dare to enter the city of Kuhan rashly.

Two hundred years later, when a team from the Central Plains broke the peace, and the Han team of more than 500 people appeared on the grassland, the warriors of the wolf head opened up and sent people to ask for help from the Iron Eagle Department.

When the warriors of the Iron Eagle Department arrived, they saw that the soldiers of the Wolf Head Department were "bowing down" to the Han team, and when they were extremely surprised, they saw the easel with the painting of the Sealed Blade Leather standing at the front of the team.

At this time, they knew that this team was sent by the reincarnation of the prophet, but they didn't know whether the prophet was in this team, but only escorted the team into the Four Seasons Mountain, but strangely, this team did not take away the Sealing Sword, such a move made the wolf head and the iron eagle department think that the prophet was not in the team, so they did not enter the city of Khuhan according to the request of the priest in the team, and continued to stay in the garrison, waiting for the return of the prophet, and also handed over the leather painting to the wolf head, They were also given a lot of Han Chinese items for their use.

However, the accident happened again, 10 years after the team entered the mountain, the original Sealing Knife in the hands of the wolf head disappeared mysteriously, and the wolf head suspected that it was related to the Iron Eagle Department, and the two sides finally became hostile, from former comrades-in-arms to today's enemies, and it was also the cruel tribal war that made the people of the wolf head discover the cave hidden under Lake Dada, and also found the huge iron-making Song ship built by the Han team in the cave.

They didn't understand what it was at all, and the Wolf Leader only thought it was a good opportunity to surprise the Iron Eagle Tribe, and this battle was as Angu had said before, the Wolf Leader was defeated, but the Iron Eagle Department still didn't admit that they took away the Sealing Blade.

Hearing this, Xingshu asked, "So, the Sealing Sword was taken away by that Han team, right?" ”

"Yes." Angu replied, "That's what my master said, after they suspected this, they also thought that it was a means used by the Han team for their internal strife, in order to confirm all this, the two tribes sent the most elite warriors to infiltrate the city of Khuhan, and found that the city of Khan was completely different from two hundred years ago, and the original remnants of the Bohai Sea had become monster-like mountain demons, maybe because of eating habits, maybe because of other things, in short, no one knew what happened to them......"

When the elite warriors of the Wolf Head and the Iron Eagle Department infiltrated Kuhan City, they found that the remnants of the Bohai Sea who had become "mountain demons" were serving those Han people, and under their command, they rebuilt Kuhan City in a strange way, and at the same time, they also discovered that the Sealed Immortal Sword had really returned to Kuhan City.

The warriors of the two tribes believed that they had been deceived and that the Han Chinese could not have been sent by the reincarnation of the prophet, so they killed the priest among the Han people during the night and took away the Sealing Sword.

After descending the mountain, in the Ice City of the Iron Eagle Division, the warriors of the Iron Eagle Department drove away the warriors of the Wolf Head Division, thinking that they had lost the Sealing Blade and were no longer qualified to protect it.

After speaking, Angu said, "This is the cause and effect of all the things that my master said. ”

After hearing this, he thought for a while and asked, "Then your iron weapons were all given by those Han people in Kuhan City?" ”

Angu looked at the master, and after getting the answer, he said to the torture technique: "Yes, it was sent by those Han people, the bell was originally used for warning, and in addition, the tribal ice city can have what it is today, it all depends on that priest." ”

Mo Duqiao frowned and said: "I'm completely confused, in this matter, Yelubei, Cast Iron Immortal, and Prophet should not sound like a person, whether Yelubei was a Cast Iron Immortal from the beginning, or Cast Iron Immortal pretended to be Yelubei and used a stand-in, but no one can live for hundreds of years." ”

Angu hesitated for a moment, his face was embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

Torture, even Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao all discovered Angu's weirdness, but they were not in a hurry to say it, they could only look at Angu, Angu turned his head to look at the master, and said a few words, Angu's master sat there for a long time before nodding vigorously.

After nodding, Angu's master coiled up his hair and hid it in the fur hat above, and at this moment, the torture and others could see Angu's face clearly - judging from his face, Angu's master was completely a Han person!

Xingshu looked at Angu's master, and then at Angu, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask: "Angu, when the wolf head and the iron eagle department infiltrated Kuhan City to recapture the Sealing Sword, did they kill the priest, did they take anything else?" ”

Angu was curious: "Why do you ask that? ”

Xingshu looked at Angu's master: "You ask your master, he should be able to tell you the answer." 2k reading network
