Fenghou

The preparations for the war began. Chen Qing appointed the champion general Liu Qiong as the main general of the western expedition, and Tang Qian as the deputy general. The two led an army of 20 tigers and guards to march westward. Seven roads including Lingxia Road, Hexi Road, and Xihe Road collected [-] camels, together with the Western Army's own [-] camels, a total of [-] camels were used as logistics transportation tools.

From Jingzhao Guangtong warehouse, Lanzhou Hehuang warehouse, Lingzhou Shuofang warehouse and Taiyuan Jinyang warehouse, 60 shi of grain and 20 shi of black beans were transported, as well as kerosene, firearms and other military supplies to Shazhou.

In fact, the Western Army has already stockpiled 30 shi of grain and a large amount of armor, tents and other military supplies in Dunhuang County, Shazhou. It is also to prepare for the reconstruction of the Anxi Protectorate.

When the [-] troops marched to the Hexi Corridor, the first batch of official camels, totaling [-], transported [-] shi of grain from Lingxia Road, crossed Helan Mountain, and went to Liangshan along the edge of the Tengger Desert. state.

The Battle of the Western Expedition finally slowly kicked off.

At this time on the grassland, another big battle also started.

This battle was a battle of [-] Xiliao and Naiman coalition forces fighting for Kedun City. Kedun City is the town of the Liao Kingdom, and it is also the location of the Northwest Recruitment Division of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom stationed [-] troops here. , It was the [-] garrisons who did not participate in the Liaojin War and escaped the disaster, and finally became the foundation for Yelu Dashi to establish Xiliao.

When the Yelu Dashi army failed in the fierce battle with the Black Khan army for the first time, not only the thousands of Khitan people who stayed in Huihe in Xizhou were killed by the Huihe army in Xizhou, but even the thousands of Khitan people who stayed in Ketun City were also killed. The troops of the Lie and Tata tribes killed.

The four families of Kere, Tata, Mughal and Mierqi divided up this most fertile pasture.

The tragedy of Kedun City was also a pain in Yelu Dashi's heart. This time he decided to go east, the first goal was Huihe in Xizhou, and the second was Kedun City. He wanted to take back Kedun City and build his own grassland fortress here.

Ketun City is located west of Ulaanbaatar today. This piece of grassland has a vast area and many rivers, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. It is the cabbage core of the entire Mobei grassland, also known as the golden pasture. The royal courts of grassland overlords such as Turks, Turks, and Huihe have always been coveted by various tribes in the grassland, and getting it means that they will become stronger.

When the Liao State was strong, it was occupied by the Liao State, and the Northwest Recruitment Division was established with [-] troops and their families.

After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, it was divided up by various tribes in the grassland, and no one family could rule alone.

After the Jin army came, Mengwu and other tribes strongly resisted the Jin army's invasion, and Wanyan Wushu adopted a strategy of wooing and dividing, using Taiyuan Sima Douhuang to smuggle a large amount of supplies to the grassland, successfully wooing the Kelei tribe, and immediately They also recruited the Tata and Mierqi tribes, and the three families betrayed the Mughal tribe. The Jin soldiers defeated the Mughal tribe, the leader was killed, and the pastures and population were divided. to the far west.

But what even Chen Qing didn't know was that the Kingdom of Jin also followed the example of the Kingdom of Liao and established the Northwest Recruitment Division in Ketun City, with 8000 troops stationed there. Under the deliberate cover of the , Tata and Mierqi tribes, Chen Qing didn't know that there were still eight thousand Jurchen troops and tens of thousands of Jurchens hidden in Ketun City deep in the hinterland of the grassland.

At this time, the leader of the Golden Army in Kedun City was Wanyan Wushu who fled westward. He was hiding in Kedun City like a wounded beast, and his eyes were still peeking at Liaodong from time to time.

In a castle tower in Ketun City, Wanyan Wushu was sitting at the table in a daze. At this time, even Chen Qing might not know him. The mighty and spirit of the king of beasts, he is 60 years old, which is also a long life among the Jurchens, but the blow of the Jin Kingdom's destruction made him seem ten years older all of a sudden.

Wanyan Wushu walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked towards the far east. At the end of the sky was his old capital, Shangjing.

But he didn't dare to go back. On the one hand, it was because of his fear of the epidemic, but more importantly, he knew very well that the reason why he was able to live until today was entirely because the vastness of the grassland protected him. Chen Qing didn't know that Ketun City still had The Jurchen army, once Chen Qing found out about his appearance, Chen Qing would definitely send a large army to kill the remaining Jurchen army and the people.

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "My lord, Kelei Khan suddenly wanted to see you urgently!"

What is this old fox doing here?Wanyan Wushu ordered: "Please come in!"

The Kingdom of Jin has stockpiled a batch of armor in Ketun City, which can equip tens of thousands of people. Several grassland tribes covet them, and begged Wanyan Wushu to distribute the armor to them several times, but Wanyan Wushu snubbed them all. Rejected.

Wanyan Wushu knew very well that once these prairie wolves were equipped, they would tear themselves to pieces first.

After a while, Khan Husi, who was strong and stocky, walked in quickly, "My lord, long time no see!"

The two laughed and stepped forward to embrace, Husi Khan waved, and two young and beautiful Kret girls came in, "This is our sister flower by the Wugu River, I will give it to the prince to sleep, I hope they can give the prince an heir. "

The male function of Wanyan Wushu has degenerated, women are useless to him, at most they serve him in daily life.

"Thank you Khan, is it Khan's urgent business to send them here?"

Husi Khan's expression became serious, "I have received definite news that the [-] troops from the Western Liao Dynasty have arrived at the Naiman tribe, and the Naiman tribe will also send [-] troops to join the Xiliao army to attack Ketun City. We hope that the prince can Lead the grassland warriors, fight against Xiliao, and defend their homeland."

Wanyan Wushu was taken aback, "Xiliao really came here?"

Husi Khan nodded, "The news is reliable. I discussed with Alchi Khan. The current situation is serious. It is not appropriate for us to continue fighting with the Mierqi tribe. I implore the prince to mediate, and then lead the three armies to face Xiliao and Nai. Barbarian."

Wanyan Wushu suspected that they were soldiers who made up stories to deceive him, but it was possible to mediate the struggle between the Kret, Tata and Mierqi tribes.

He readily agreed, "I will issue the Golden Wolf Head Order immediately, inviting the three khans of your family to join the alliance in Ketun City. At the same time, you must also tell Meiliji Khan about the Eastern Expedition of the Xiliao Army."

"The Mierqi tribe is the closest to the Naiman tribe, but in fact they know it best."

Wanyan Wushu immediately said: "Yes, you and Alchi Khan will go back to form an army separately, and we will form an alliance as soon as possible."

Just as Husi Khan was about to leave, Wanyan Wushu thought of another matter, stopped him and asked, "How about the Western Army in Linhuang Mansion?"

Husi Khan smiled wryly and said, "They are no longer called Xijun, they have changed their name to Yongjun."

"Okay! How is Yong Jun?"

"About 50 troops! I just donated [-] sheep to them, and Niu Gao promised to give us [-] sets of armor. It took almost [-] sheep to exchange for a set of armor. This is the most heartwarming thing I have ever seen." Black trade."

"You are willing!" Wanyan Wushu saw through his hypocrisy.

Husi Khan sneered and said: "If the prince can protect our Kelei tribe, why should I be so humble and beg for safety from the Yong army?"

"You have an army of 3, but you can't beat [-]?"

"If the prince is willing to give me [-] sets of armor, I can destroy this Yong army."

Wanyan Wushu sneered in his heart, given him ten guts, he would not dare to fight with the Yong army, he lied to his soldiers, he must have turned back on himself first, he had only 8000 men, much easier to deal with than the [-] Yong army.

"Think about dealing with the Xiliao army first! Let's talk about the alliance first, and put everything else aside for the time being."

Husi Khan bowed and saluted, and walked away quickly.

Wanyan Wushu's eyes were full of worry, could it be true that the Xiliao army marched eastward?
