Chapter 325: Sealing the White Wolf Mountain
On the banks of the Bailang Water in western Liaoning, hundreds of Khitans gathered in a circle.
The river water flowed, and the Khitans squatted by the river, took off their sheepskin robes, poured water on their faces and bodies, and after drinking the water, they sat weakly by the river, looking at the sky with their eyes blankly, as if they would collapse as soon as they lay down.
The war horses around him were so hungry that they lost weight, spitting white foam, and seeing the grass on the ground, they were chewing a few bites weakly.
Then they heard the dense sound of horse hooves coming from the riverside, and the Khitans showed despair, confusion and anger on their faces, but they had to force themselves to step onto the horse again.
Many people were so tired that they couldn't even step on the stirrups. After trying several times, they finally fell off the horse and collapsed on the ground and didn't want to go anywhere.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him, and more than a dozen cavalrymen appeared by the river where the Khitans had just rested, and then they easily captured more than 20 Khitans who were too lazy to walk around who were dragging the team.
Half of these dozen cavalrymen were Shidexi's cavalry, while the rest were Bai Shi, Shiwei and other people. Each of them had three horses, holding a long bow, but everyone also showed fatigue.
The leader was a rough man from the Xi tribe who came from the family and said to the two people: "You take them to Ke Mulun, and we will continue to chase them. Even if we chase them to Bailang Mountain today, we will still capture all the Khitans."
One person said, "Team leader, let's forget it. We have been chasing for two days. There are hundreds of people and hundreds of horses on the other side. If we know that we are chasing, we will not tear us apart even if we look back."
The team leader said, "What are you afraid of? You don't know that the more you pay, the more you will receive. The more you will reward the leader, and the army will be headed. Khan also has a reward. We have been poor on the Mulan Grassland for a lifetime. Whether we can accumulate hundreds of cattle and sheep depends on today."
After hearing what the team leader said, the tired Xi cavalry also regained their spirits and nodded one after another.
"But the Khitan?" One person still had concerns.
"What do you think they are afraid of?" The team leader casually pointed his hand and pointed at the Khitan prisoners who were blind and as if they had lost their souls.
Seeing the Khitans' appearance, the troops nodded at the same time.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves also sounded, and the team leader looked at the other side of the river. He saw the smoke and dust, and a team of thousands of Khitan cavalry were running past the river bank. The generals of the Xi clan were shocked when they saw it. If it weren't for the crossing of a river, they would have to escape when they encountered this Khitan cavalry.
But the Khitan cavalry of the thousand cavalry seemed to have not seen them, and they were running past the river in panic. Not long after, more than 30 riders held horse crossbows. Han cavalry appeared, and it turned out that they were trying hard to pursue the Khitan cavalry of the thousands.
"Look, look, look, look, the Han army dares to chase a thousand Khitans if it is more than 30 cavalry. Where are we?" The team leader stretched out his hand and pointed at the riverside, and all his subordinates showed shame.
"If you slow down, you will give the meat to others. We can't even leave the soup, so why not hurry up."
After hearing the team leader's words, the cavalry woke up as if they were dreaming, and quickly changed the saddle to another horse. They put the reins again, and then whipped the rush forward. The two Xi cavalrymen who were escorting the prisoners back also showed a pity. Everyone knew that the good things below were gone.
White Wolf Mountain.
Li Chongjiu's big banner appeared at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, Li Hu had led the main cavalry to join Li Chongjiu. At the foot of Bailang Mountain, 50,000 Xi cavalry appeared here.
Although only Ke Mulun's 5,000 cavalrymen participated in the battle in the end, the Khitans were scared and Li Chongjiu chased them hundreds of miles from the western Liaoning territory, directly to the doorstep of the Khitans, at the foot of the White Wolf Mountain, the boundary between the Khitans and the Liaoxi County.
Su Suzai and Li Chongjiu stayed at the top of the mountain together.
Su Su held a horse whip and pointed at Li Chongjiu like a country: "Cao Mengde led his army to attack Wuhuan, defeated the enemy, killed Tadun in western Liaoning, captured more than 200,000 enemies, and then climbed Bailang Mountain. Today, Xiaojiu, you defeated nearly 200,000 troops of the three tribes of the Khitan Xi tribe, chased hundreds of miles, and entered the Khitan, which was also awesome to the world, which was comparable to Cao Mengde back then!"
Li Chongjiu's eyes sterned when he heard this, and Su Su's tone was extremely proud of Li Chongjiu as an elder.
Li Hu looked at Li Chongjiu on the side and was also relieved that his son was really extraordinary. When the accuser said that the two and nine were worthy of each other, it seemed that it was true. In fact, no matter what the accuser said, no matter what the accuser said, which father did not expect his son to make a name for himself, and today Li Chongjiu was far beyond his expectations.
Thinking of this, Li Hu couldn't help but secretly touched his tears and showed great relief.
Li Chongjiu nodded and after climbing Bailang Mountain, nearly 80,000 troops who participated in the decisive battle of the Khitan Xi tribe all met here. Looking down from the mountain, the flags were like the sea, and the people could not see at a glance.
When they saw Li Chongjiu's big flag at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers also burst into sounds like tsunamis. They defeated the 200,000 Khitan Xi tribes in one battle. Not to mention that they were outside the border, the world was also shocked. Since then, Li Chongjiu's Shide Khanate will run alongside the Turks in the east of the grassland.
Li Chongjiu said immediately: "The bloody battle defeated the 200,000 Khitan Xi tribe, and the soldiers made great contributions. I should build an altar to worship the heavens, pray to the heavens to protect our China, and comfort the fallen soldiers in this battle to pay tribute to the heroes."
"Good!" Li Hu slapped his thigh, and saw that his son had no slight self-satisfaction after he succeeded. He still remembered to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, which was even more gratifying.
Su Su also showed a touching look.
Li Chongjiu then said to the generals: "Yesterday, Luo Yi attacked the central army, and almost took the general flag and reversed the war. If the soldiers had not sacrificed their lives and blocked the attack of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, how could they have been today?"
"As the saying goes, one general succeeds and thousands of bones are broken, I hope that everyone will always be alert to me. No matter what achievements I have made in Li Chongjiu and wherever I am, don't forget that the soldiers came to fight to the death."
"No!" Yuchi Gong, Wang Mahan and other generals clasped their fists together.
At this moment, Li Chongjiu set up an altar with all the generals to sacrifice to the sky in Bailang Mountain.
The matter of casting the altar was supervised by Sima Wen Yanbo, Sima of Shanggu County, Yang Linfu, the county magistrate of Liaoxi County, and Liu Yi, who followed the army to supervise it.
After learning about this, Wen Yanbo was very serious and according to the ancient scriptures of sacrifice to heaven, he built a Circular Mound south of Bailang Mountain. The Circular Mound was a circular shape, and it was obtained as a round place of the sky. Then he dug the soil and built it, with three layers above and below.
After the Circular Mound was completed, three cattle and sheep were killed, and the ceremony of Tailao was used to worship the sky. Li Chongjiu immediately performed the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows at the Circular Mound.
Later, Li Chongjiu inspected the three armies at the foot of Bailang Mountain.
Li Chongjiu and Su Su, Li Hu and other generals rode their horses and stood closely together. The Han army troops, as well as the foreign cavalry, the Ding Ling tribe, the Xi tribe, Silla, Goguryeo and other tribes. It was a scene of a large army like a sea, with people and horses leaping.
Where Li Chongjiu passed by, the soldiers raised their guns and shouted. When they passed by the Han army, the soldiers shouted at the sound of victory. The cavalry of the Xi clan shouted at the sound of Khan's longevity. As for Ding Ling, Jingle and others, they even shouted about long live.
Li Chongjiu saw that all the elites of all races were driven by him, and he couldn't help but have ambitions.
A real man wishes to win 100,000 people and run rampant among the Huns. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of this. Seizing the wolf and the servants was the dream of the Han general. He thought that he had this idea when he was young. He thought of the style of the champion Marquis back then, but he couldn't help but fascinated today, but he didn't expect to achieve his wish today.
Now I have tens of thousands of elite cavalry under my command, which is not only enough to intimidate the grassland, but even if I use troops south in the future, I can still rampant the world and compete with the heroes in the world for a while.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, Wen Yanbo ordered people to carve stones on Bailang Mountain.
In the summer of May of the 14th year of Daye, there was Li Chongjiu, the governor of Youzhou in Sui Dynasty. Yinliang Shengming, ascended the royal family and managed the troops in Shuofang. Yingyang's school and Chihu's men. Here were six divisions, and they got Xi, Donghu's militia, Dingling of the Central Plains, and 100,000 cavalry. They then magnified the Liaoshui River, passed through Liucheng, and cut off the western Liaos. They killed the enemy chiefs to provoke drums, and blood corpses were chased to dye the laces. They turned the till and passed them on, and examined the maps, and explored the mountains and rivers. Following the Xi tribe, they burned 100,000 Khitans, and then consolidated the descendants, strengthened the land and expanded the land, and boosted the heavenly sounds of the Sui Dynasty. This is what is said to be a long-term effort, and a temporary rest, and a temporary rest, so that they could be used to be in the mountains and published stones, and the great virtues were revealed.
After the White Wolf clamped the stone, Li Chongjiu led his army to triumphantly.
In Ji County, Zhuo County, Lu Ziqian was sent to a letter from his elder brother Lu Chisong.
As stated in the letter, Li Yuan said that if he got Zhuo County in the future, he would be grateful to the Lu family. The Bao Lu family has been full of lords and marquis for generations, and his glory will continue to decline. Lu Ziqian saw Li Yuan's promise and was a little intentional. Everyone knew that Li Chongjiu had seized Guanzhong at this time, and he would take Li Mi one step ahead of him and lead the world's hope, and he had a great opportunity to compete for the Central Plains. At this time, Li Yuan threw an olive branch to the Lu family, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for the Lu family to surrender.
After seeing the letter, Lu Ziqian couldn't help but sigh. If he had received this letter from his brother a few days ago, he would have persuaded several other seniors in the clan without hesitation to support the Li family in Longxi to ascend the throne. However, when he received a letter from Liaoxi today, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Lu Ziqian pondered for a while, then sat on Hu's chair, and wrote a letter to reply to his brother.
Today, the lower heroes emerged, and the situation is still unclear. Duke Pushan attacked the Eastern Capital. It is almost time to go down. Dou Jiande gathered 200,000 to 300,000 people in Hebei, and seven or eight of them were in the south. Besides, Du Fuwei, Xiao Xian, Li Zitong, and Lin Shihong... What's more, Duke Shanggu, Zhuo County, defeated the Khitan Xi tribe in western Liaoning today, with 200,000 cavalry and sealed Bailang Mountain.
This person has 100,000 elite cavalry outside the frontier and is powerful and powerful. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were just like this. If this person goes to Pushan Gong, Pushan Gong can win the world, and to Tang King, Tang King can win the world. The so-called important thing is this. The Lu family in Zhuo County has been in Youzhou for a hundred years, and this matter is very important. If it is a hasty decision, it is not a blessing. Please consider it again and again.
Lu Ziqian finished writing the last word, put the pen and blew the ink traces, and read it again. Then he said, "Come here, send this letter to Xijing immediately and hand it over to his brother." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
