Chapter 328 Battle Cloud

Since Hailing moved to the south, the center of gravity of the imperial court of the Kingdom of Jin gradually tilted southward, moving closer to its economic center of gravity.It is only based on political inertia that the Northeast is still regarded as the fundamental place, and no turmoil is allowed here.

Since ancient times, governance of the frontier has been nothing more than soft and hard tactics.

Either we should support them economically, and first ask everyone to keep warm, and every family has surplus food, and then promote cultural recognition and integration, so that the people will naturally lean towards the imperial court and agree with the imperial court; or they will suppress it militarily, relying on absolute force The advantage is to fight any signs of turmoil as soon as they appear, and would rather kill bloody rivers than prevent micro-duration.

The problem is that the Dajin court did not do a good job with these two methods.

Economically, after Jurchen Meng'an Mouk moved southward on a large scale, agriculture and animal husbandry in the interior of the Northeast fell into a long-term recession, and many Jurchen nobles left the Northeast, causing the once abnormally developed handicraft industry to collapse rapidly.As a result, many of the remaining ethnic groups or tribes lived nothing but fishing and hunting.From the perspective of these tribes, I was fishing and hunting hundreds of years before the founding of Dajin, and I was still fishing and hunting after the founding of Dajin.

And in the military, let alone.The Jurchens moved inward, which made it difficult for them to overwhelm many foreign races in terms of population. For this reason, local officials had to be extra vigilant and take precautions against various tribes.However, this kind of vigilance and prevention is itself the focus of conflicts.

Especially the Khitan people in the Northeast had a delicate relationship with the imperial court.

The Khitan people were outsiders who were forcibly moved into the Northeast by the Jin Kingdom after the fall of the Liao Kingdom.In order to gain a foothold here, they must be attached to the imperial court, cooperate with the Jurchens, and be driven by the Jurchens.Therefore, the Northeast Recruitment Department and the so-called Kaijun and Yijun along the Jiehao Great Wall were full of Khitans, and many Khitans even became key officers with more than a thousand households.

But with Jin Liao's hatred of destroying the country, the Jurchen's distrust of the Khitan people was deeply rooted.

Since the third year of Da'an, the Mongolian state has aggressively attacked the gold, and has repeatedly dispatched partial divisions to attack the Northeast as a countermeasure. From Linhuang to Liaodong, there has been chaos, and the land is thousands of miles away.

Under such circumstances, the military and political officials of the Kingdom of Jin in the northeast were unable to resist the Mongol military prestige. Instead, they used more stringent means to govern the subordinate ethnic groups in order to stabilize the situation and wait for the Mongolian army to retreat.

But such an idea is completely wrong.

Regardless of the advance and retreat of the Mongolian army, burning, killing and looting, the Khitan rebelled first.Its leader, Yelu Liuge, was originally a thousand households of the Jin army. After he fled, he recruited more than [-] troops in just a few months.

At this time, under the order of Genghis Khan, Chen Nayan led more than a thousand cavalry from Boduhuan, Aruduhan and other tribes in Mongolia to conquer Liaodong, and met Yeluliuge's tribe.

According to Chen Nayan, he asked Brother Yeluliu who he was and where he wanted to go.Brother Yeluliu replied: "I, the Khitan army, are going to attach to the big country."The road hinders the horse's fatigue, so I stay here.

According to Chen Nayan, he and Yeluliuge ascended the Jinshan Mountain, punished the white horse and the white ox, ascended to the north, and formed an alliance.

This action made Jin Guo very angry, regardless of the previous defeats in the northern border, losing troops and losing ground, and forcibly launched a crusade.

This crusade army gathered all the elites of the Kingdom of Jin in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and Dading Mansion in Beijing. The Marshal Youdu Supervisor and Xianping Road Bingmadu Wanyan Chengyu was the commander. He claimed 60 people and declared that, If you get one or two of Yeluliu's bones, you will be rewarded with one tael; if you get one or two of Yeluliu's flesh, you will be rewarded with one or two of silver, so as to attract tribes from all over the Northeast to fight together.

Unexpectedly, after Yeluliuge received the support of the Mongolian cavalry, he became like a tiger with wings.

Wanyan Chengyu was defeated by Mongols and Khitans in two years successively. Each time, 60 soldiers were lost. In all dynasties, they were all defeated generals who would be beheaded and punished.

As a result, because of his timely confession to the new emperor while he was waiting for the crime, the position of Marshal Youdujian was not changed, and he was transferred to stay in Beijing... Even if the generals of the Dajin Kingdom were short of talents, the court was unwilling to deal with it easily. It can also be called a spectacle that has never been seen in history.

And after this battle, the momentum of the Khitan people was huge. Brother Yeluliu was supported by everyone as the King of Liao, and changed the Yuan Tiantong. After that, he broke through the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo several times in a row, and firmly entrenched in the west of Liaoning, cutting off the Northeast mainland from the Dajin court. direct contact.

However, it is not easy for Brother Yeluliu to maintain such a situation.

The Khitan is not an ignorant and barbaric ethnic group. They once established a big country with their own unique system, culture and history.

Yeluliuge certainly has his outstanding talents.However, he was able to be promoted as the leader by many Khitan rebels because he was the first to rise up and had the greatest influence, not the strongest strength.

The cronies he called were his wife Yao Lishi, his eldest son Yelu Xueyu and his younger brother Yelusi.There are more than ten thousand people in Khitan, and there are only ten thousand people who really only obey the king of Liao.

And under him, the king of Liao, there were Posha, Sengjianu, Yelude, Lijianu and others as prime ministers, marshals, and ministers;These people are all powerful Khitan people.In the final analysis, Yeluliuge is the elected leader, not the natural leader.

At this time, he was sitting at the bottom, respectfully toasting to Mu Huali, and he didn't have the air of a hero. That kind of deliberate obedience looked like those on the grassland who rarely saw Genghis Khan, so they were afraid of not showing loyalty. Qianhu Nayan.

Mu Huali raised his glass as a gesture, raised his head and drank it down, but he was thinking in his heart: "According to what Chen Nayan once said, this brother Yeluliu is in his prime, handsome and high-spirited, even if he is a hero in the Mongolian army, Jue can be called a handsome man. As a result, when I saw him today, his face was covered with frost, and his temples were already snow-white... It can be seen that this king of Liao is really not so easy to be!"

Still, that's fine.

It is precisely because of Yeluliuge's extraordinary control over the Khitan tribe that he must rely on the Great Mongol Kingdom.What the Great Mongolia needs in the Northeast is exactly such a loyal but lacking spokesperson.

Thinking in his heart, Mu Huali's face was only full of drunkenness, he stroked his beard dripping with wine with one hand, and held the wine glass in the air with the other hand.

Before the servant girl who was serving at the back could react, Brother Yeluliu had already stood up, took the wine pot from the maidservant, and served it to Muhua Liman.

Mu Huali laughed loudly, swayed the wine glass and said to Brother Yeluliu, "Brother Liu, I've already drank it, and it's your turn, so drink it too!"

Even if Mu Huali is the left-wing commander of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, he is the confidant who was praised by Genghis Khan as "a chariot with a shaft and a body with arms", and the commander of the Mongolian army who was ordered by Genghis Khan to come to control the situation in the Northeast, It's too impolite to open your mouth and call Liao Wang's real name!

Speaking impolite words, Mu Huali swung the wine glass too much, and the wine spilled out a lot, which wet Yeluliuge's head, face and chest robe.

Several Khitan warriors in the hall immediately showed discontented expressions.

But Brother Yeluliu didn't seem to care at all, he didn't even raise his hand to wipe his face, he first took the jug, refilled it for Mu Huali, and then poured himself a glass of wine slowly: "My drinking capacity Not good, but General Mu Huali wants me to drink, no matter what, I will drink to my heart's content."

After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank it, and turned to the other people in the hall with a laugh: "Everyone, you should also drink! Today, the nobleman is visiting, everyone should enjoy it to the fullest!"

At present, everyone was drinking, eating meat, and watching songs and dances. Some Mongolians saw the beauty of the wine-serving maids and immediately arrested them, openly having fun during the banquet;Immediately there were high-ranking Khitan officials coming down to the hall to accompany them, several people applauded each other and circled around, attracting bursts of applause from the surroundings.

The banquet lasted until the third watch, and the Mongolian guests were still full of interest.

Mu Huali noticed that Yeluliu would leave the banquet every half an hour, probably to vomit and sober up.Even so, he was already clearly out of spirits, his upper and lower eyelids were almost drawn together, and he raised his glass to toast frequently.

Mu Huali put down the wine glass and said softly, "King Liao?"

Amidst the noisy singing and dancing, Brother Yeluliu cheered up in an instant: "General Mu Huali, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Since I'm here, I'm going to fight, and I'm going to fight a big battle!"

Brother Yeluliu did not hesitate: "I will immediately mobilize the generals of the whole family and let General Mu Huali drive them."

"It takes 5 people, is that okay?"

The Khitan people are no longer the overlords of the Northern Kingdom.Yeluliuge gathered Khitan people in Guangning, men, women, old and children, totaling no more than 15.As soon as Mu Huali asked for 5 people, it was like taking all the Khitan men out of time.

But Brother Yeluliu still did not hesitate: "Yes! I will do it tomorrow!"

Mu Huali looked at Brother Yeluliu and said with a smile, "King Liao is indeed loyal to Genghis Khan."

Brother Yeluliu patted his chest hard, and when he was about to say something, Mu Huali said: "Don't worry, King Liao, you will win this battle, and you won't die."
