Chapter 1152: Saibei Blue Wolf (I)
North of the Yellow River, Yongzhou City.
Yongzhou, as an important town in Hebei, although it is not among the eighteen cities in the northern part of Dayue, its importance is not in the slightest below those border cities, and even for the entire north of the Yellow River, its status is even higher than that of many border cities.
Just because this Yongzhou is only 200 miles away from the Yellow River, and is located in the center of the whole Hebei, just like Luoyang is to the Central Plains, so no matter which direction to the southeast and northwest, it is accessible in all directions and is the most convenient. Therefore, as early as one or two hundred years ago, the Dayue Imperial Court had set up the logistics granaries of various cities in northern Xinjiang here.
With the passage of time and the change of the situation, the status of this Yongzhou city has been continuously improved, and by twenty or thirty years ago, this big city of Hebei has become the rear of the entire northern defense line.
Whether it is ordnance and food, or soldiers and horses, the imperial court will first arrive here, and then collect and distribute them in Yongzhou and distribute them in various cities. This habit was maintained for many years, until 15 years ago, when the northern Xinjiang changed drastically......
But now Yongzhou looks like it has become lively again, in this mid-May season, all kinds of people and horses are also being sent into the city in a steady stream, and then handed over to a group of soldiers in armor to count and receive, and then send them into a huge warehouse guarded by soldiers according to categories.
If you look closely, you will find that these armor soldiers look completely Dayue officers and soldiers, at least judging from the way they are dressed, they are out-and-out Central Plains people.
In fact, the current Yongzhou is completely under the control of the Ghost Rong people, and the real master is the Ghost Rong Chamber.
As one of the seven masters of the Murwei Department, his position in the clan is naturally extremely important and noble, and this Yongzhou City has always been completely up to him. Before that, the city of the Han people had never been as prosperous and busy as it is now, and the reason for this change was because of the arrival of one person.
Don't beg to go around the granaries in the city, and then return to his residence with some impatience, that is, the original Yongzhou Taishou Mansion.
Although he has been here for many years, he is still not very accustomed to this Han people's yamen building, and when he dismounts and enters the main hall, his face is also a trace of fatigue. However, when he saw the tall figure sitting on the ground, the expression on his face quickly changed from exhaustion to respect: "Great Khan ......"
While greeting, he quickly stroked his chest and bent down to salute.
The person who was sitting was still looking at the scroll in his hand at this time, and after a while, he nodded slightly: "Sit." How is it, how much grain is there here in Yongzhou now? ”
"According to the measurement of the Han people, about 250,000 stone of grain has been collected now......" Don't beg to reply in a low voice, as if he wanted to say something, but it was difficult to export after all.
Only then did the other party put the scroll in his hand on the low table in front of him, turned around and looked up, and looked at him.
This is a rather rugged and heroic prairie man, because of the weather, his appearance is a little older, he looks about fifty, but his real age is only in his early forties.
Two thick black eyebrows are raised obliquely upward, and below is a pair of huge eyes, with a slightly flattened nose, a large mouth, and a messy beard, the whole person gives people a bold and uninhibited momentum.
At this time, he first reached out and took a skin pouch on the low table, and after pulling out the stopper, he first poured several sips of wine into his mouth, and then laughed: "You can't figure out why you want to gather grain in Yongzhou?" Especially if you want me to keep an eye on some of the food and supplies that have been sent from the cities of the north? ”
His voice was very loud, and as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, there was a buzzing echo in the entire lobby, and with these actions and words, the momentum of the whole person rose again, although he was still a little lazy to sit there, but he was also like a tiger lying high, and he would choose someone to devour at any time.
Feeling the pressure, Beg should immediately lower his gaze, and sat up three points straighter: "Great sweat, I...... I really can't figure it out...... "When the truth was spoken, he only felt that his breathing was a little stagnant, for fear that the person in front of him would suddenly become angry because of these words.
There is no way, the person in front of him is supreme to him, to the entire Murwei Department, and even to all the grassland ghost Rong people, like a god-like existence.
Because it was his sudden rise that made the Murwei tribe, which had always been in the weakest position among the three tribes in the northern part of the country, quickly become stronger, and in just a few years, it became an existence that could compete with Wanyan and Yelu, two tribes with hundreds of years of family background.
In the process of leading the rise of the Murwei Department step by step, whether it is with wits or force, he is an unprecedented existence in the Saibei grassland.
In terms of strategy, he was able to play the other two high-ranking leaders around, so that Wanyan and Yelu lost their troops in Ludi, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and then the Murwei Department seized the opportunity to plunder several cities that should have belonged to those two departments in one fell swoop, and transported the wealth and population among them. 、
In terms of bravery, he is not under any prairie warrior.
A few years ago, after they captured the five cities in northern Xinjiang, they were attacked by two tribes.
As a result, under his leadership, on the Saibei Plain, their Murwei Department defeated several times the enemy head-on with one enemy and two, thus truly laying the current pattern of strength and weakness of the three tribes in Saibei, making the Murwei tribe the head of the three tribes, and the other two tribes could only serve him as the real Great Khan and obey his orders.
To this day, Beg should still clearly remember the scene of the decisive battle that day, the Great Khan rode a black horse, carrying a steel knife, and really killed the enemy like the legendary beast blue wolf in the grassland, killing more than a dozen leaders of the two divisions of Yelu Wanyan, and other soldiers and soldiers were hundreds.
By the end of the battle, he and his horses were stained red with the blood of the enemy, and all two warriors, when they looked at the Great Khan, were left with only deep awe.
On the grassland, strength has always been supreme.
It was this battle that made the Great Khan the master of the entire steppe, and let the name of Smirchen spread to every corner where the wind could blow!
And all the clansmen of the Murwei tribe, including him Bebeggar, regarded him as a god.
So even if he thought that the Great Khan's order this time was a little unreasonable, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow it, although according to the temperament of the steppe people, he still directly expressed the doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart.
But Lezhen smiled: "You are right, in fact, it is not only you, I believe that all the people who know that I am going to gather all the food and materials in Yongzhou will be puzzled, including the enemy in the south.
"And that's exactly what I want to see, because that's the only way we can achieve the biggest victory!"
