Chapter 42: The Sigh of the Meteor
On the north bank of Raole River, the Khitan King's tent.
Wu Duozuo was watching the celestial phenomena at night.
In the northwest sky, a huge meteor was quickly sliding through the night sky. This meteor was so bright that it illuminated the whole night, making the grassland under the night suddenly brightened.
Wu Duozuo was shocked.
"Is it because the ancient people of Baye succeeded? A general of the Shattered Ye Army was killed?"
He really couldn't think of how the three thousand shattered Ye Army would resist it to be safe and sound once the ancients of the Baye gathered together 10,000 elite cavalry. In the past, when the Shattered Ye Army passed through the territory of the Four Qipi tribes and the Xi tribe, they would not face more than three thousand enemies, let alone they did not have the determination to fight to the death to defeat the Shattered Ye Army.
But the Baye Gu people sent troops after receiving the promises of An Lushan and Usumishi Khan, especially the latter's promises were extremely important to the Baye Gu tribe. It was precisely with the promises of the Turks that Baye Gu could truly rise.
Before, this tribe was just a seemingly powerful tribe.
What's more, Bayelun, the leading general of the ancient Baye, was once a magnanimous person in Chang'an, was familiar with the fighting methods of the Tang army, and practiced in his own tribe. Even if he was not as good as the Suye Army, he still had a situation of victory or defeat because of the advantage of the number of people.
As for the B-Second Division, Li Huaixiu had mobilized three thousand elite cavalry, but he did not act rashly, because there were three thousand Dugu cavalry waiting for the battle on the other side of the mountain.
With the Khitans' combat power, it is naturally no problem to defeat the Dugu tribe, but even if he can defeat the Dugu tribe, it will lose a lot. Whether he can have the strength to fight the Shattered Ye Army at that time is definitely a question.
More importantly, according to the new Khitan regulations formulated by Li Huaixiu and Neri, all the military mobilizations of the eight Khitan tribes were nominally controlled by the alliance Yilijin, which is Niri. Although before formulating the regulations, in order to take care of the face of Li Huaixiu, descendant of the Yaonian clan, Neri specially noted that "the Yishi Department is not like this", no matter what, the risk of sending troops by his own unit is too great.
What's more, the pasture of the B-Second Division is hundreds of miles so easy to gather all the young and strong tribes. At present, there are a hundred tents around Li Huaixiu's tent, and there are a thousand warriors who come from various tribes to "willing to protect the Khan". Among them, half of the warriors in the B-Second Division account for, but there are also warriors from the Diela tribe and other tribes.
These people were nominally the entourages of the Khan, but Li Huaixiu also knew that the so-called "warriors" sent by Diela's tribe were mostly sent by Neri to monitor his detailed works.
Anyone who knows any action that violates the alliance regulations and is known to Niri, it is very likely that he will overthrow himself and support others to take power. After Niri transformed the eight divisions of the Khitan into the new eight divisions, he placed all the descendants of the Dahe clan's direct nobles in his own Dila tribe, and also placed some of the Yaonian tribes there. What is the purpose?
Therefore, when Li Huaixiu gathered two thousand young men in the Yishi family around the big tent, although his courage became stronger, his uneasiness became stronger.
From the beginning, it is common for the Khitan King to be killed by his generals. Will he become the next one?
The sudden brightness of the sky made the sleepless Li Huaixiu walk out of the tent.
So he met Wu Duozuo.
Seeing that it was him, Li Huaixiu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Not long ago, according to Wu Duozuo's plan, he contacted three major tribes, including Xi Nuji, the Lord of the Hun He, and Qi Ge, and asked them to besiege the Wu tribe, but no tribe responded. Xi Nu all gathered three thousand people, but they were monitoring the Lord of the Hun He tribe, which was definitely more than the King of the Wu tribe.
Yang Shouzhong from Qi Ge's Ministry clearly expressed his objections.
However, the sudden appearance of the Baye Gu tribe later made Li Huaixiu overjoyed.
Bayegu is still above the Khitan.
Even so, Li Huaixiu still dared not act rashly. Although the Khitan had new changes with the reform of Niri, it was not enough to make the eight tribes act like a tribe.
At least no one has such prestige yet, either Nirri can do it, nor can he Khitan.
Thinking of this, he walked to Wu Duozuo in three or two steps.
When Wu Duozuo saw Li Huaixiu appear suddenly, he quickly gave a gift.
Li Huaixiu said: "It was suddenly bright and there was no thunder. It was probably a meteor. Did sir witness this scene with his own eyes?"
Wu Duozuo nodded, "That is, a huge meteor fell in the northwest sky. Its tail is extremely long, like a ponytail. It glided in the night sky for a long time before it fell. When it glided, it pierced the sky, and naturally made the night sky like day."
Li Huaixiu felt a stern heart, with some expectations, "What is the scene of this image?"
Wu Duozuo said: "Now the ancients of Baye are fighting in the northwest. If you guess well, there will be generals in both sides."
"Oh", Li Huaixiu's expectant eyes became stronger and stronger.
Wu Duozuo smiled bitterly, "Shan, such a bright big star, I'm afraid neither Sun Xiurong nor Jie Zhiluo dared to be..."
Li Huaixiu nodded, "This is true, in the northwest direction, are they Turkic or Uighurs..."
Wu Duozuo shook his head, "I still have a shallow path in the next path, but I still don't know the final word. In my foolish opinion, it should be based on a real khan."
...
A month later, news came from the junta.
At this time, the Hu Shang Jingshi had lifted the blockade of the Hu Shang Jingshi from the Hu Shang Jingshi who went south to the Baye Gu tribe to come to the Khitan tribe and was preparing to go to Yingzhou. Of course, there was a clear news.
The news was brought by a Hu Shang guard who was obviously a Sogdian, but he was proficient in Khitan language.
"One month ago"
In the big tent, there were people from the Yishi tribe including Li Huaixiu and Wu Duozuo. When they heard this, everyone raised their ears.
"In the valley southwest of Chuohe, by the way, the east bank of the valley is the famous Motianling. The cavalry of Yuwen tribe who was ordered to attack Bayelun was north and saw the powerful Bayegu cavalry and retreated without fighting. Bayegu people chased each other and caught up with Yuwen tribe cavalry in that valley."
"After a big battle, the two thousand elites gathered by Yuwen Qinde, the leader of the Yuwen tribe, were completely lost, and only a very small number escaped back to the Yuwen tribe. The matter ended like this, but an unexpected scene happened."
"It was dark at that time. Nanbayegu Khan, Jie Zhiliu's eldest son Bayelun was preparing to rest in the valley for a night and set off again the next day, but at that time the Thunder Ye Army suddenly appeared."
"The Thunder Ye Army attacked the rear troops of the Baye Ancient Cavalry with a thousand cavalry. Since the Baye Ancient Cavalry had just defeated the Yuwen team's cavalry, it was the most exhausting time. The Thunder Ye Army of the Thunder Ye Army was naturally unstoppable."
"The Bayelun in front led the remaining 2,000 people to rush to the valley entrance to the south, but there were also two thousand shattered Ye soldiers blocking the way on the prairie in front of the valley entrance. Bayelun asked the remaining tribal cavalry to come forward to fight, and rushed to the west with his personal soldiers who had been practicing for a long time."
"Why do you know what happened?"
"Did Bayelun run away?"
"No, everything was plotted by the commander of Ye Jun, Sun Xiurong. Just when Ba Yelun ran for more than ten miles with his exhausted direct soldiers, the horse could not run any longer. At this time, Sun Xiurong appeared with his own soldiers."
When Wu Duozuo heard this, he sighed again.
"With Sun Xiurong's power, he has no physiology to eliminate wild celibacy"
Sure enough, the guard continued: "Because Bayelun's bright armor was too conspicuous in the twilight, everyone in the Shattered Ye soldiers knew who he was, and Sun Xiurong also shot three arrows at him in a row. Everyone, Sun Xiurong is the top name in the Jumping Camp of the Four Towns of Anxi Towns. He can use a large bow with three stone power. If you shoot a fixed target, you can say that you will hit every shot, and you will have a very accurate head when shooting a moving target."
"The shovel-shaped heavy arrow shot from the three-stone bow immediately cut through the rope connecting Mingguang Armor and stabbed into the chest. Dao Yelun died immediately..."
When Li Huaixiu heard this, he asked quickly: "When is it?"
After the man said that, Li Huaixiu was also sad, but what he thought was, "Is Ba Yelun qualified to be in the Heavenly Star Class?"
The man continued: "In that battle, because the ancient Baye was extremely tired, most of them were annihilated by the Shattered Ye Army, and only a few ran away."
"After the end of this battle, Sun Xiurong brought Bayelun's body to his camp hidden in the dense forest. Everyone who stayed in the camp was originally Turkic people and Tielite people who were attached to the ancient people of Baye. Seeing this, he had no reason to continue to stick to it and surrendered all of them."
"After Sun Xiurong defeated Bayelun, he moved all the five thousand Bayegong herders of Bayelun to the Jung Ministry, and divided them into three parts, one part to the Dugu Ministry, one part to its newly established Bogra division, and one part to the Xueyantuo tribe."
"Nanbayegu disappeared, and it's not over yet. Sun Xiurong has a general named Ma Lin. He has three thousand soldiers of the Shattered Ye army that had just formed a short army. No, no, no, there are only a few people from Shattered Ye from Shattered Western Regions, most of whom are young men from Dugu's tribe."
"Sun Xiurong named it Rao Lejun, and asked Ma Lin to take Rao Lejun to take over Bayelun to guard Nanbayegu, and let him recruit warriors over 2,000 or more and under the age of 25 from the remaining about 15,000 herdsmen to expand Rao Lejun. You know that even if Bayegu Dahan Jie Zhiluo had only three thousand cavalry under his command. In this way, Sun Xiurong can firmly guard Nanbayegu."
"Sun Xiurong returned Bayelun's body, and Jie Zhi was slightly shocked by the damage of 10,000 Nanbayegu's spirit. Secondly, Sun Xiurong was originally the governor of the Ministry of the Cun and supervised the responsibilities of the surrounding tribes. If he wanted to take revenge, he would mobilize again in Beibayegu. When he left, he had not seen any signs of mobilizing the young and strong to seek revenge."
"After Sun Xiurong occupied Nanbayegu, he changed his name to Nomenhan, but he didn't know what the purpose is."
(Nuomenhan, a name that was found in the Yuan Dynasty, meaning the land of the Dharma King)
"After Yuwen Qinde and two thousand young and strong tribes died and injured, Sun Xiurong officially took over the unit. When the Loushi tribe saw it, he had to completely surrender to Sun Xiurong. Sun Xiurong transferred two thousand people from these two units and merged them into the Shattered Ye Army. Therefore, Rao Lejun and Shattered Ye Army became a camp of 5,000 people."
Just as the crowd sighed secretly, the man continued, "This is not over yet. When he arrived at the Jun tribe, with the support of Sun Xiurong, his cousin, Yujue's Yuque of Yujue, defeated the four Wei tribes of Wuluohou tribes west of the water, the northern part of the mountain, the Wuwan tribe, and the Jie tribe."
(Na Shui, the Nenjiang River in later generations)
"After that, a new Wei army was formed with the Julunbuir and Fishing Sea as the center. The number of Dingkou households was nearly 10,000. Sun Xiurong asked Yu Que to transfer three thousand young men from each department, and used the Sai Ye Army and Rao Le Army officers as the backbone to form the Wei army, and the big tent was set up near the Julunbuir."
"So, Sun Xiurong had a standing army of 13,000 people under his command. It turned out that the troops had more than 20,000 tents, plus Xue Yantuo's 3,000 tents, Nanbayegu's 15,000 tents, and Yujue's 10,000 tents, and Yujue's 10,000 tents, and Yujue's tents, suddenly, the majority of the permanent troops and nearly 50,000 herdsmen..."
Hearing this, the white jade cup in Li Huaixiu's hand fell to the ground.
Wu Duozuo also asked anxiously: "Didn't the Turks in the west have any movement?"
The man said, "Who said it was not? However, according to the news from the caravans in the west, Wang Zhongsi's army continued to be stationed at Jikou, making Usumishi Khan in the north unable to move. Moreover, since Ashinashi of the Bashi tribe became a great khan, he naturally wanted to get rid of Usumishi and quickly. He also stationed 10,000 elite cavalry at the eastern end of Jinshan, which made Usumishi Khan even more worried. How could he have the energy to manage the affairs of the ministry?"
"As for the Uighurs and the Geluo people, they are naturally waiting to see jokes."
