Chapter 329 Battle Cloud

Brother Yeluliu was overjoyed at first when he heard this sentence.

Last year, the Mongolian army aggressively invaded the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin, crossing Hebei and the Central Plains, conquering more than a hundred cities, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of people, destroying and looting countless people, and finally threatening the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, marrying the princess and returning it.In terms of victory, this is naturally another victory after the Mongolian army unified the grasslands and forced them to surrender to Xixia.

But the victory was not perfect.Under the huge victory, two small flaws were also revealed.

One is that the Mongolian army lacks the ability to attack fortified cities after all. Even if Genghis Khan came to command the battlefield in person, the Mongolian army was still helpless in the face of the towering city walls of Dajin Zhongdu, and never posed a real threat to Zhongdu.

Second, the Mongolian army's field capabilities are not invincible.The failure of the fourth prince Tuolei's battle in Shandong clearly demonstrated this point. Although the Kingdom of Jin was in decline, there were still strong soldiers in the country who could rival the Mongolian army, and with proper planning, they could inflict heavy losses on the Mongolian army.

Because of these two reasons, Genghis Khan agreed to the Jin Kingdom's begging and revitalizing the grasslands a few months ago.Even Chen Nayan, who was cited as a backer by Brother Yeluliu, was ordered to rush back to the grassland to participate in the discussion of the follow-up war.

According to Chen Nayan's departure, his generals Boduhuan, Ketege, and Aruduhan are still there, and more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry are still there. Therefore, although many powerful enemies around Guangning Mansion are eyeing them, no one dares to Come tease Brother Yeluliu.

But Brother Yeluliu didn't know the next step of the Mongolian army's arrangement, and he was always worried.

The hope that the small Liao Kingdom he established can continue to exist is that the Mongolian army is willing to support his expansion and the Khitan people's revenge war.

Without this support, the narrow area around Guangning Mansion, surrounded by mountains and sea, would be a dead place.It can even be said that if the discussion on the follow-up war within the Mongolian Kingdom takes longer, the Liao Kingdom itself will collapse.

Not to mention how noisy those Khitan nobles were.Even if they all turned into clay sculptures and wooden bodies, if they don't cause trouble for Brother Yeluliu, people still have to eat, right?Tens of thousands of people gather here, and the number of people eating horse chews every day is a huge number. Even if we dig three feet of the ground and eat all the grass roots and pine nuts, we will definitely not last until this year's winter!
Fortunately, Mu Huali is here.

This burly man with a black face and beard has a status in the Mongolian Kingdom that is far from comparable to that of Chen Nayan.He is the head of the left-wing ten thousand households of Mongolia, ranking third among the 95 thousand households, and he is an important Mongolian minister who leads the east of the Khan Court to the Harawen Mountain.

Now that Mu Huali has arrived in Guangning, it proves that Genghis Khan has not given up on the Khitans, and the Mongolian army's next offensive may even launch from the interior of the Northeast... Sure enough!General Mu Huali said that there will be a big battle!
This is great!
Brother Yeluliu is not afraid of fighting, what is afraid of is not fighting. There are 10,000+ Khitan people, if they want to regain their due status, they can only come from fighting!

But then he was worried again.

What did Mu Huali say?Will win big, and won't die?What does it mean?
Brother Yeluliu's thoughts turned suddenly, his hands trembled suddenly, and he almost threw away his beloved gold cup with lotus petals.

If these words were heard by other important Khitan ministers in the hall, most of them would be delighted, and then they would ask Mu Huali carefully what kind of tricks and tricks he had.But Brother Yeluliu was able to become the leader of the Khitan people in just two years, he really had extraordinary talent, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

And this possibility, he is extremely unwilling to see.

For a moment, the lights and shadows in the hall flickered, just like countless thoughts in Yeluliu's mind.

Calming his mind, he whispered: "No matter what kind of victory General Mu Huali needs, we can win it for you on the battlefield. Even though the Khitan army is not as good at fighting as the Mongolian warriors, from top to bottom, there is no one willing to fight. To die for Genghis Khan, General Mu Huali is on top of it, don't worry about us."

Mu Huali burped heavily, staring at Brother Yeluliu.

Brother Yeluliu was tall, half a head taller than the stocky Mu Huali, but now he bowed slightly so that his line of sight was parallel to and slightly lower than Mu Huali.

"What? No one will die, isn't it good? Doesn't King Liao seem very happy?"

"I heard that General Mu Huali is Genghis Khan's closest subordinate. No matter where the Khan lives, sits or sleeps, you, the general, are by your side."

"Yes."

"I also heard that there are rich hunting grounds on the grasslands, and there are plenty of birds and beasts in the hunting grounds for hunting."

"Hahaha, that's true."

"Then, you, General Mu Huali, must have accompanied you when the profusely shot the hunt."

"King Liao, don't go around the bush, just speak straight."

"When the Khan is shooting and hunting, the hunting dogs must be indispensable. I think what the Khan likes is the dog that follows the order, is not afraid of the beast, and bites the prey even if the blood is all over it. The dog is not worthy of being driven by the sweat."

"This is the job of a hunting dog. Don't say that Da Khan has raised a hunting dog. My own hunting dog should also be like this."

"Brother Yeluliu, I decided to attach myself to a big country and serve Mongolia when I first raised my army. Later, I was favored by Chen Nayan, and I swore a blood alliance with him, and I was given the task of conquering Liaohai as promised by Chen Nayan on behalf of the Great Khan. .”

Speaking of this, Brother Yeluliu stood up solemnly and bowed towards the grassland: "Then, this land of Liaohai is the hunting ground of the Great Khan, and I, Brother Yeluliu, is the hunting dog of the Great Khan. In order to hunt and kill prey, Brother Yeluliu Blood can be sacrificed, and the Khitan people can also sacrifice blood. The only thing we are afraid of hearing is that the owner is concerned about the death and injury of the hound and is unwilling to drive it, because such a hound has no value in existence."

Mu Huali's heavy eyelids trembled slightly.

At this moment, two Mongolian families were drunk, they first went to the hall to take off their shirts and wrestled, and they were covered with bruises, then they stopped suddenly and came up to toast Mu Huali and Yeluliuge.

The two laughed and exchanged cups with the two Mongolian Baihu. After a while, the Mongolian Baihu was satisfied and began to sing again with a loud voice.

In the noisy hall, Brother Yeluliu raised his voice a little: "General Mu Huali, I agree with you when you say you want to fight. But I am very worried when you try to reassure me that you will not be killed or injured."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I am worried that in the eyes of the Great Khan, the Khitan people have become cowardly people who are afraid of fighting and bleeding, and they will not be able to be driven by the Great Khan. I am also worried..."

Brother Yeluliu pondered for a while: "General Mu Huali, I believe that you are definitely not someone who promises at will. Since you can say that, you must have a new partner in the Northeast, and this partner can be accepted by us. In the battle that goes on, it will bring an easy victory. But I am worried!"

He put the wine glass heavily on the table, and said sharply: "I am worried about whether this partner is loyal and reliable, and whether he will unreservedly support the great cause of Mongolia like us Khitan people!"

With his strike, the whole hall suddenly became much quieter.Except for some who were really drunk, several smart people had flickering eyes, and their gazes were sneaking around the faces of the first two.

With protruding eyes, Mu Huali stared at Brother Yeluliu for a while, then burst out laughing suddenly.

After laughing for a while, he said with emotion: "King Liao speaks Mongolian very well."

He held up the golden cup, signaled the maidservant to come up for more wine, and then raised his hand to Brother Yeluliu: "I have never seen any princes and nobles who are attached to Genghis Khan, who have studied Mongolian seriously like King Liao, and can It's easy to talk to people. King Liao, you are fine, and I absolutely believe in your loyalty."

"Thank you!" Brother Yeluliu took a sip of his wine.

Mu Huali continued to speak.Obviously, he is not good at such formal discussions, so he speaks very slowly. Every time he says a sentence, he will think carefully: "I also understand your concerns. You are worried that the Great Mongol Kingdom is eager to form a new relationship with the capital of the Jin Kingdom. The pressure from both sides is eager to cut off Jin Guo's arm in the Northeast. Therefore, we will look for more partners in the Northeast and promise them generous terms. And our new promise will definitely affect you, King Liao, and Khitan. People's future in the Northeast. This concern is justified."

Brother Yeluliu smiled wryly: "So, it is true that we have new allies, right?"

"The Great Khan wants to make progress in the host country as soon as possible, so there will naturally be new initiatives. King Liao, you guessed it right, there are indeed new allies."

Fighting as hard as possible for several years, it turned out that in the eyes of Genghis Khan, it was not enough.I guessed right, we Khitans are about to become that bulldog that is not valued.That being the case, the benefits promised by Chen Nayan earlier, and even Liao Hai's good expectations, are naturally no longer mentioned.

This will cause big trouble!

In many Khitan tribes, those noble adults who boast their own strength have already whetted their appetites, so why would they give up?How should I deal with these people?And how should the Khitan regime, which was already loose, continue to consolidate?

Brother Yeluliu turned many thoughts in an instant, and finally he could only ask dejectedly: "But I don't know, which side is General Mu Huali's new ally? Linhuang Mansion? Xianping Mansion? Huining Mansion? Or Taizhou? Recruitment department?"
