The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 630
The moon geese flew high and fled in the night.

To drive Qingqi away, the snow is full of bows and knives.

——"The Next Song" Lu Lun (Tang Dynasty)
……

Outside the Great Wall in early spring, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the grass grows and warblers fly, creating a vast atmosphere.

The prairie is like a sea of ​​emerald green, lush green, fragrant grass and blooming everywhere.

In the middle of the grassy slope meadow, there is a bend of a river with nine bends, in which there are groups of wild ducks and wild geese, croaking and playing.

From the reeds, more than a dozen white swans slipped out, their white feathers floated on the green water, and their necks bent to sing to the sky, which was indescribably elegant and noble.

Floating out of the end of the river bend, the leading swan sang loudly, and dozens of swans followed behind it, skimming lightly on the water surface, and the anthurium stepped on the clear waves, spotting ripples, startling a pool of gulls and herons.

The swans fluttered their wings and soared in formation, and soon flew into the floating clouds and disappeared into the sky.

Dozens of vigorous horses gallop on the prairie like a sail, riding the wind and waves in the emerald green sea.

The leader was Bai Fu who had "died from poisoning"!

Bai Fu grew up in the mountains of Bashu since he was a child, and he had never seen such a vast land, so he suddenly felt broad-minded and full of interest.

Came to a hill shaped like a wolf's head, which is the source of the big river, the White Wolf Water.The lone wolf slammed off his horse, looked to the north, prostrated himself on the ground, muttered to himself, and bowed devoutly.

Bai Fu spent many days with the lone wolf, knew a few Khitan dialects, and understood a few words: "Mother... hometown..."

The lone wolf got up after worshiping, and the majestic man also burst into tears.

Everyone set up a village on the beach of Bailangshui River, where the water and grass are lush and the scenery is pleasant.Everyone was running day and night, exhausted, just took the opportunity to rest.

Two days later, a group of barbarian cavalry rushed to the bank of the White Wolf River.

These Hu people have their forehead hair removed, leaving only a thin braid at the back of the skull. The braid hangs down and is tied with colored silk. It is decorated with wild hog teeth and a pheasant tail as a crown decoration, which is different from other tribes of Hu people.One can tell at a glance that he is from Heishui Mohe.

Unlike the tall and strong horses of the Central Plains cavalry, most of the horses of the Heishuimohe people are short and light, with thick and long fur.

Lone Wolf loves horses and knows horses. He smiled and said to Bai Fu: "Don't underestimate these pony horses. They are descendants of wild horses in the ice field. They can bear heavy loads and work hard. They have excellent foot strength and can run freely in the wilderness of ice and snow."

The barbarian cavalry soon came to the front. The leader was a sable fur shirt, with a strong physique, earrings with gold rings, gold braided hair hanging down his shoulders, tied with colored silk, and decorated with pearls and jade.

This person's eyes are as sharp as a hawk, fierce and unruly.The person next to him is none other than Bai Fu's good brother—Hawkeye!
Bai Fu was overjoyed to see him.

After the two embraced warmly, Hawkeye hurriedly introduced Bai Fu.

……

It turned out that when Bai Su woke up and resumed the game, it was predicted that the Fusang dead soldiers and the rebels were mixed together, and there must be a terrifying conspiracy behind it.

Bai Fu asked Iron Hammer and Tang Huan to contact the secret agents lurking in Youzhou City respectively, and paid a lot of money to buy sources in the rebel army.

Not a day later, the information came, and it was exactly as Bai Fu expected:
After Shi Siming Heyang suffered setbacks, he knew that he could not do anything alone. If he did not try his best to break the situation, he would repeat the mistakes of An Lushan.

When Shi Siming was in a state of desperation, Emperor Fusang sent a special envoy to find Shi Siming, willing to help him.

Fusang special envoy imitated Su Qin and Zhang Yi's strategy of combining vertical and horizontal forces, and joined forces with Bohai County and Silla to send troops south to the Central Plains:

If Shi Siming wins the world and becomes the lord of the Central Plains, he must use the Great Wall as the boundary and cede the land north of the Great Wall to Bohai County and Silla.

Bohai Commandery annexed the lands of Shiwei and Heishuimohe;
Silla expanded to the northwest, replacing the Protectorate of Tang Andong and Pinglu Jiedu, and expanded its sphere of influence to the narrow strip between Bohai County and Fanyang County, adjacent to Huihe.

Fusang does not need an inch of land in the Central Plains. It only needs Shi Siming to declare to the world after he ascends the throne.

……

After receiving the news, Bai Fu immediately sent an urgent military letter to General Li Guangbi.

The situation was critical, Bai Fu considered everything and decided to play a big game of chess.

……

In the tenth year of Kaiyuan (722) of the Xuanzong Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty appointed the leader of Heishui Mohe as the governor of Bozhou (now the Khabarovsk region of Russia), which was used to contain the leaders of the Bohai County and the Turks.

In the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726), the imperial court set up the Heishui Dudu Mansion in the territory of Heishui Mohe, which was attached to the Youzhou Dudu Mansion.Tang Ting bestowed the surname Li on a powerful local tribal leader and appointed him as the governor. Other positions in the Heishui Dudu Mansion were filled by local small tribal leaders, and Tang Ting sent Chief Shi Qian to supervise.

The Tang court canonized Heishui Mohe, with the original intention of containing the Bohai County.

Bai Fu urgently ordered Eagle Eye to go north and contact Heishui Mohe.Hawkeye was originally from Mohe, fulfilling his mission, and soon got in touch with the Heishui Governor's Mansion.

The leader of the Heishui Mohe people that Hawkeye contacted was named Wanyan Mang Gutai, a member of Hawkeye's tribe, and also a confidant of Li Dudu in the Heishui Dudu Mansion.

The governor surnamed Li was shocked when he received the letter, and hurriedly authorized general Wanyan Manggutai to represent himself to form an alliance with Baifu in the Bailangshui area.

Wanyan Mang Gutai came here to represent the Heishui Governor's Mansion and discuss with Bai Fu about going south to attack Bohai County.

……

Hawkeye acted as an interpreter and conveyed Bai Fu's meaning to Wanyan Mang Gutai: "The Tang Army hopes that the Heishui Governor's Mansion can gather a large army in the area of ​​Huaiyuan Mansion, and make a gesture of sending troops south to attack Longquan Mansion, the capital of Bohai County.

In this way, Bohai County will inevitably withdraw its troops to relieve the pressure on the Tang army at Yanmen Pass. "

Wan Yan Mang Gu Tai said: "Then what are the benefits of my Black Water Mohe?"

Bai Fu handed the rubbings of Emperor Fusang's secret decree to Wanyan Mang Gutai, and said: "Once Shi Siming ascends the throne in Chang'an, the reward for Bohai County is to annex Heishui Mohe.

Let me ask you, if you leave the support of Datang and only use the power of Heishui Mohe, can you resist Bohai Commandery? "

Wanyan Mang Gutai was depressed.After a while, Wanyan Mang Gutai said: "I promise you on behalf of the Governor, I hope you will keep your word, General!"

Bai Fu clapped hands with him, laughed loudly and said, "We'll be at the bank of the White Wolf Water, let the river god witness, and make an alliance with blood!"

……

The military situation is urgent and we cannot stay any longer.After the alliance ceremony was over, Wanyan Mang Gutai decided to rush back to the Heishui Governor's Mansion immediately.

At the time of parting, Hawk Eye hugged Wanyan Manggutai deeply, and said: "Brother, the war has been going on for years, and it will be difficult to return to my hometown in a short while, please also send my regards to Grandma and other tribesmen!"

Wanyan Mang Gutai nodded and said: "Brother, Tang people are treacherous and cunning, capricious, you should be more careful."

Hawkeye said: "The people of Tang are just like us, there are good people and bad people. I have also made many brothers here, and it is very happy to be with them!"

Wan Yan Mang Gu Tai said: "This General Bai is quick and straightforward, I think he is an upright guy. However, he looks gentle and gentle, how could he lead the army to fight? Could it be that he became an official with the help of his ancestors?"

After hearing this, Hawkeye couldn't stop laughing.He laughed loudly, and replied: "Brother, if it's someone else, it's okay for you to talk about it. If you want to talk about our General Bailong, even ten of you are no match for him!"

Wanyan Mang Gutai turned his head to look at Bai Fu, he was so graceful, like Zhilan in the wind, it was hard to believe what Hawkeye said.
