Luo Jizhi and others passed through the only wooden bridge on the Oren River without any danger. Not only that, Aziz did not collect any taxes - although he had always been salivating about the new silver coins issued by the Great Xia Kingdom.

Compared to eagerly understand the major events of the Khanate, what does commercial tax count?

What's more, if you make this person angry, it is still a question whether your two thousand cavalry can return to Orenburg safely.

There was nothing to say all the way, and ten days later they arrived at Yatsk Fort, where the Sazedeg River began to flow south. In later generations, her name was Uralsk.

Just a few days ago, Yelu Xingliao, the governor of the Yatskian General and Biguan of the Xiaoyuzkhtan Alliance, received a pampered scroll from Mizar. In addition to narrating the great achievements of Jianger Khan in the Battle of Arata, he also mentioned Atlau's incident.

Yelu Xingliao was a short and strong man in his 50s. Unlike his younger brother Yelu Taohuashi, he was a pure military general. When he was young, he was a brave general and a far-scheming general.

He fell into deep thought after receiving Mizar's letter.

"The war between the Khan in Altao and the cede of Atlau will occur at the same time. The two must be related. Needless to say, the Khan should have had a secret deal with the Khan of the Great Xia Kingdom. The Khanate's bargaining chip is Atlau, and where is the Daxia Kingdom?"

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any help from the Daxia Kingdom to the Khanate, but when he thought of Atlau, he felt a little bored.

Atlau was originally one of the summer palaces of the Khanate, but when Orenburg emerged, Atlau declined. Although the vicinity of Atlau was deserted, there were two things extremely precious.

First, it is a salt field located on the coast of the Caspian Sea. This is nothing. The coastline of the Caspian Sea is very long. You cannot set up a salt field in Atlau. There are many places where salt can be cooked.

The second is fierce tinder oil. Black black oil emerged from the ground near Atlau. In the past, the Han people who followed the army in Badu used this object to make fierce tinder oil. They showed their power when the army in the Western Expedition attacked Kiev Rus and Moscow.

However, there is not much black oil that can be easily ignited at the moment, and most of the remaining ones are black oil that is not easy to ignite. The Russians in the north have fallen in love with such black oil and have used silver bars to buy them. This is also one of the few sources of wealth in his Khitan alliance. However, in addition to Atlau, such black oil also has on the north coast of the Caspian Sea.

(In fact, Atlau is one of the few places in the world that produces natural asphalt. For the Daxia Kingdom, which has touched the threshold of the industrial revolution, this thing is undoubtedly extremely precious. It can be used in large quantities on ships and roads. On the contrary, the burning oil has not yet been fully used)

What Yelu Xingliao wondered was that even if it was a hundred miles apart, what could the Daxia people do after taking this place? The Caspian Sea was the inland sea, the Russians were the west, the Crimeans were the sphere of influence, the Shivas were the sphere of influence, and the Kazakhs accounted for a part, and the Persians were the world to the south. Even if the navy was strong, there were hostile forces everywhere, and they could not dodge.

What's more, there are no places near the Caucasus Mountains to the south near the Caucasus Sea where there are no places to produce large quantities of trees. Even if they can build ships, they have no materials to make them.

That is, I like this black oil, but this black oil cannot be ignited, so what's the use of getting it over?

What's more, they are in a remote place, even if they get a lot of black oil, how can they be transported out? Do we really think of our Khitan Alliance and the Zeduer Alliance as mud?

Having said that, Mizar still asked him to "cooperate with them to deliver Atlau" in his letter. Naturally, he felt a little unwilling to do so in his words.

There was another thing that made him very upset.

The wild wind is coming.

In the original Xiaoyuzi Alliance, three tribes had deeper connections with the former Khitan State. One of them was his Yelu tribe, which claimed to be from the Diela tribe, and he also claimed to be a descendant of Yelu Dashi. The other was the Yishi tribe, which claimed to be one of the two major divisions of the Khitan State in the past (the other part was the Diela tribe). Later, the Yishi tribe almost became the descendant of the Yelu family of the Diela tribe. Almost without exception, the empress came from this tribe, and all the people in this tribe were named "Xiao".

However, in the history of the Khitan Kingdom, the powerful Empress Shulu (Wife of Yelu Abaoji), came from the Uighur Baye Ancient Tribe. After the Uighur Empire was destroyed, most tribes followed him westward and went south, and eventually became the Xizhou Uighur, Ganzhou Uighurs and Karakhanate. The largest Uighur tribe that stayed on the grassland to submit to the Khitan people was Baye Ancient Tribe. The Baye surname was also the most prominent surname in the Khitan Kingdom except Yelu and Xiao.

If the B-shire tribe is the exclusive post-tribe, then the Baye Ancient tribe is the exclusive royal concubine tribe.

And Bayefeng is the descendant of this film.

Yelu, Xiao, and Baye actually supported the entire grassland tribe in the era of the Great Liao Dynasty. In the past, Xiao Yuzi was the three tribes of Yelu Xingliao, Xiao Chenghan and Bayefeng. Now Xiao Chenghan and Bayefeng have joined the Daxia Kingdom, and only Yelu tribe is still in the Xiao Yuzi Alliance.

After Luo Jizhi advanced westward, the Bayefeng Brigade, which was originally in Urigai west of Khalkha, drove to Linhuang Mansion, while the Antong Brigade, which was originally in Mulun City south of Kusuguer Lake, was transferred to Urigai.

Of course, Yelu Xingliao did not think about joining the Daxia Kingdom at all. He carefully observed the Tuoyin Department who joined the Daxia Kingdom. Their daily usage was better than that of ordinary tribes, and other labor service and military service were not less than that of the Kazakh Khanate.

This was of course what he imagined, because he often saw the Daxia Kingdom repairing roads, and the herdsmen had to spend at least three months a year to be militias. However, unlike the Kazakh Khanate, the Daxia Kingdom repaired the roads using a recruitment system. Not only did the participants not only had to be free of food and accommodation, but also had a considerable allowance. They did not need to prepare their own weapons and armor when serving in the military. The food and accommodation during the period were also free of charge.

All of this is not something that a Khitan Alliance tribe far away from the Great Xia Kingdom can understand.

Even so, Yelu Xingliao is not like Mizar and Aziz, and he still yearns for this great power that rose to the Khitan territory before.

Therefore, when he learned that Luo Jizhi's brigade was heading east to Yatsk, he not only did not intend to collect commercial taxes, but also provided cattle, sheep and forage as military supplies.

What he did not expect was that Luo Jizhi took over his cattle and sheep, and after the forage, he paid him silver coins at the market price - the kind of silver coins that were now popular in the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, driving away the Ottoman silver coins and Polish Zloty, which were originally popular here without a trace!

When Yelu Xingliao saw the dazzling equipment, serious military discipline, and creepy murderous aura of Luo Jizhi's brigade's cavalry again, he was a little discouraged.

Before Luo Jizhi left, he grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, I heard that you are the Sorens of Ulan Ude. After my great Khitan Kingdom was defeated by the Jurchens, many of them rushed north into the forest, and probably many of them integrated into the Sorens."

Luo Jizhi smiled. According to His Majesty the Emperor, Nashidaur and Xibe were actually descendants of the Khitans. There was no problem with his words. However, when he thought of Nikan's instructions, he still said modestly: "Biguan, there is a general in my Hanhai Army, named Xiao Alin, who is a descendant of the Khitan. Now he is the top general in the Hanhai Army."

After looking at the personal soldiers around Yelu Xingliao, they saw that their outfits were worse than those of the Zedouer Alliance. They knew that they were not good at business compared to that alliance, so they said, "Prison, before coming, my Khan also asked me to greet you, and brought a hundred knights, one hundred guns, and one hundred guns to express their feelings."

This is a naked show of good deeds, but on the grassland, the best weapons are missing from any tribe. Yelu Xingliao quickly said: "This time you go west, you must pass by Chalijin. It just so happens that my troops have a city nearby. I ask Taohuashi to take a thousand cavalry to follow you, so you can take care of it along the way."

Luo Jizhi hurriedly thanked him - it was at least 500 miles to Chalijin. Although most of them were the territory of the Khitan Alliance along the way, they were intertwined with the former Kazan Khanate tribes and the Nogai tribes. If he had three thousand cavalry, he would not be afraid of them. However, with the Yelu Peach Blossom Stone, there would be less trouble.

Let me mention it here that Chalizin was controlled by the Russians at this time, and there was a governor in the city. However, the main force guarding Chalizin was the leader of the Nogai people who were defeated by the Hanhai Army last time. He was also the largest grassland tribe in the middle of the Attila River (Volga River). From the Chalizin to the Caspian Sea, they were all the territory of the Turgut tribe. There was also Ponchuk in Luo Jizhi's team, which is the eldest son of the current Turgut tribe (who already called themselves the Khanate).

Chalizin, the names of later generations were very famous, and they were successively called Stalingrad and Volgograd.

At this time, it was one of the former outposts of the Rurik Dynasty Ivan III against the Crimean Khanate. After the Romanov Dynasty took over, it retained its outpost status.

Five days later, the brigade arrived in Chalijin - there was no way, there were still a large number of carriages in the group, and they could only pass along the bridges. Chalijin is the few places with bridges on the Attila River. Of course, they built bridges for the sake of tax collection.

The fact that Luo Jizhi's move westward was so generous, it was naturally impossible to hide it from the Russians.

At present, the one who is responsible for the affairs of the entire Sarzedge Mountain and the southern grasslands is the one who is in charge of the affairs of the Perm Governor Cherkasky, a former relative of the Tsar, who is now the Tsar, and the uncle of Alexey, who is just seventeen years old.

Cherkasky sighed when he heard the news.

Alexei had just been in power for a year, and now the power is in the hands of his teacher Molozov. Even if the Russians want to make a decision, they are still unable to catch it. The kingdom is suspected that it would be good to stabilize the existing territory. Even if he reported the message, Russia's heavy troops are now arranged in a place bordering the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Poland. If you want to mobilize troops to deal with this "alone army" who is bold and arrogant in advancing westward, it will take at least two months.

In two months, they may have returned from Transylvania.

However, he was not willing to let Luo Jizhi and others pass by it carelessly from at least on the surface of Russian territory. Although there is currently no clear country or concept of borders in the entire Europe, including Russia, if Russia wants to reach this level, it will have to wait until the Alexei Tsar's reign for decades. At this time, they are just a rough idea of ​​how many people, how much land, and where the borders are in their country.

Alexei became one of the great tsars in the history of the Russian Empire, and waited until five years later.

So he passed the message to Amin near Samara and Darhan in Charizin. As for how these two people would do, he would not care about it. Anyway, it would cause trouble to the people of Daxia.

He most hoped that the sinister and cruel former Kazan Tatar Amin could take action, but he had no idea about the relatively straightforward Nogai man Darhan.

However, things often develop opposite to what he imagined.

When the remaining Kazan Tatars suffered heavy losses in the last war, until today, Amin hid near Samara and licked his wounds silently. Every day he prayed that his tribe could be preserved in the Orthodox craze that was like a rush in the southern grasslands. How could he think of robbing another piece of meat from the Hanhai Army?

What's more, it was Salticov who came to inform him last time that Salticov was the intelligence leader of the former Tsar, and he had to obey. Cherkasky was just the uncle of the present Tsar and was just the governor of Perm. He just conveyed this message to him, and his intention to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight was very obvious.

"Hmph, I still want me to wait for you to get the chestnut from the fire? Dreaming"

Therefore, when Amin learned the news, he couldn't help but feel angry, but instead gave orders in his pastoral area.

"Stay away from the people of Daxia, those who violate the violation will die!"

But Dalhan is different.

Speaking of which, his Nogae people were already the last tribe on the north bank of the Caspian Sea that openly claimed to be the Nogae people. After the last war, the Nogae people located in the Sazedge River, Attila River, and Don River Basin, both Bainogae and Henogae, moved closer to him. Now, with Chalizin as the center, the radius of 500 miles has actually become the territory of Tadarhan. Especially after the Cossacks of the Don River Basin approached him, his tribe had expanded to tens of thousands of households.

Although it is still a tribe compared to the Turgut tribe, it is already a very powerful tribe in the Don River and the lower reaches of the Attila River.

Darhan took action.
