Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 549 This winter is tough!

Mobei Grassland.

The cold wind that cuts like a knife, the clean and cloudless blue sky, and the vast and boundless wilderness.

The eagle soars, and the war horse gallops.

A wild wolf fled desperately with its tongue out, and behind it were more than a dozen galloping cavalry.

A sharp arrow passed by the wolf's thigh.

The wild wolf rolled twice on the spot, and driven by instinct, it still fled into the depression ahead.Just because of the thigh injury, the speed is not as good as before.

At this time, another sharp arrow pierced through the back of the wolf's neck.

The wild wolf rolled around a few times on the spot, struggling feebly on the ground.

The fastest two riders came close, and a round and strong grassland man laughed: "An Da, good archery, you win."

He said, throwing the bow in his hand to the tall and strong man beside him, and said: "A divine bow is suitable for a warrior. This bow of mine is made of high-quality Zhe wood as the bone, [-] feet and [-] inches of ox horn as the pieces, and tiger tendons as the strings. It is my only baby, and I will give it to you now."

The strong man who shot the wild wolf was Yelufu Sage, the second son of Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of Liao Dynasty.

Yelufu Sage took the divine bow, drew a full ring, felt the power of the bow and arrow in his hand, slowly returned the bow, and said with a smile: "It really is a good bow, thank you Qier for answering."

He accepted the divine bow, handed over the scimitar at his waist, and said, "This is a steel knife that I spent a lot of money to find a craftsman from the Central Plains, and only a brave man like Qier An Da is worthy of it."

The round and strong grassland man is the leader of the Zubkelie tribe, Wushi Qier.

The Kret tribe of the Zub Zhu tribe is the largest tribe, consisting of multiple division alliances.

Wu's beggar is the leader of the Jierjin tribe, but with the support of Yelufu Sage, he has unified the Kelie tribe, so he is also the leader of the Kelie tribe.

Yelufu Sage picked up the wild wolf, took a closer look, and said with a smile, "It really is the wolf king. This leather can be exchanged for a lot of food."

Mobei grassland includes the northern desert and Gobi, and the environment is far worse than that of Monan.

The weather turned cold, and the wolves attacked the herds together in order to survive.

Yelufu Sage happened to bring winter clothes to Wu's beggars, and immediately went out to hunt the wolves after hearing the news.

No matter how fierce the wolves are, they can only be destroyed in the face of the powerful blockers.

Under the siege of the blockers, a silver-gray wolf escaped from the encirclement.

The experienced Yelufu Sage and Wushi Qier judged that the wolf was most likely to be the alpha wolf, and they chased after him.

Sure enough, compared to ordinary wild wolves, the wolf in front of him has more than one cut in fur color and physique.

Yelufu Sage said this freely, but Wu's beggar showed a trace of indignation on his face: "Our clansmen collected leather with their lives, but when it was in the hands of the people in the Central Plains, they sold it back to us at several times the price. , really hateful..."

Yelufu Sage didn't know how to speak, what Wu's beggar said was indeed the truth.

But if people from the Central Plains hadn't tried it, they wouldn't be able to make warm and soft fur coats at all.

Before the Khitan split, when the Central Plains had no trade with them, the hard and bulky overcoats they wore seemed to be wearing a whole body of iron.

The point is that they simply don't have enough manpower to handle the leather, and many people freeze to death every year.

After the mutual market was opened, although the Central Plains was a bit darker and needed them to provide cattle, sheep, horses and other supplies, the leather clothing and food in the Central Plains did make their winter a lot easier.

Yelufu Sage said: "The Central Plains has opened a mutual market, at least we can still buy food, coats and other supplies. Before there was no mutual market, it was all smuggled by unscrupulous merchants, and the price was even more hateful. A high-quality horse, It can also be exchanged for [-] catties of corn..."

When the time comes, they have to change.

Eight hundred catties of corn can feed a lot of people, even if a good horse is killed and eaten, it is only a few days' rations for a few people.

Wu's beggar gritted his teeth and said: "The Central Plains are so hateful, why should Anda abide by their rules? Our prairie people have always lived in the way of prairie people, and abide by the rules of other birds in the Central Plains. As long as An Da gives an order, my Kelie's people The warriors all serve Anda."

Yelufu Sage's expression changed and he wavered.

The reason why Yelufu Sage defended the Khitan border was because he intended to rebel and had ambitions.

The news of Yelu Bi's plot to capture the Khitan Emperor spread, and Yelu Fu Sage's attitude was the same as Yelu Dilie's, full of indignation.

Yelv Dilie thought he was the number one successor after Yelujing, so why not Yelufu Sage?

Yelufu Sage is second only to Yelujing's direct son, Yelv Dilie and Yelu Bishe, the two concubine sons, why should they compete with him for the throne?

That's why Yelufu asked the emissary to kill Yelufu Sage before he saw his face.

In the eyes of Yelvfu Sage, only his overall situation is the overall situation.

Yelu must take a bite of the overall situation of Khitan, which is a joke.

With the passage of time, Yelufu Sage found that the situation he was facing was getting worse and worse. He was originally exiled and guarded on the border, with limited strength in his hands, and being located in a bitter, cold and barren land, his strength stagnated.

However, Yelu Dilie of the alliance, with the support of the Central Plains, is gaining momentum and has already left him far behind.

In order not to be weaker than Yelu Dilie, Yelufu Sage also began to choose his allies in Mobei.

The brave and heroic Wu family beggar stepped into his sight.

Yelufu Sage was amazed by the heroic spirit of the Zobu people and the bravery of the Zobu people.

When his grandfather Yelu Abaoji attacked the Jurchens, he once said with emotion that "the Jurchens are not enough to be ten thousand, and they are invincible".

Yelufeng Sage didn't feel that the Jurchen was strong, but he was moved by the strength of the Juburen's personal fighting power.

Yelufu Sage continued to block such a powerful ally, and with his help, Wu's Beggar successfully unified the Kelie tribe and became the most powerful existence in the Mobei Grassland.

The rapid rise of Wu's beggar made Yelufeng Sage not only feel no joy, but a little fear.

Wu's beggar is as bold as a beggar, but his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he is already showing signs of getting out of control and biting people.

Yelufu Sage said: "To fight the Central Plains, we have to fight against Dilie. Our opponent is Yelubishe. We can't let Yelubishe sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. If we want to fight, we must fight Yelubishe. Just let Yelv Dilie take a look. His choice was completely wrong."

Wu's beggar thought for a while and said: "Then listen to An's answer, everyone is beaten. This winter is very sad, and we must prepare in advance. I robbed the cattle and sheep of Yelv Bishe to exchange food with the Central Plains. With food, I can survive this winter..."

Yelufu Sage said: "Then it's settled. I'll go back to regroup and meet up at Yuanyangpo in ten days' time. We will go east together and go to Zhongjing Road."

Wu's beggar nodded and said: "Ten days later, the mandarin ducks will be parked, and I will write it down!"

The two agreed on a date and separated immediately.

Wu's beggar watched Yelufu Sage go away, and tightened the leather jacket on his body, thinking that he needed to add an inner garment to resist the cold wind on the grassland.

This is true in September, but it will be even more difficult in November and December.

This winter is tough!
