Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

The news of Luo Youdu's departure to the north quickly spread to Mayu Mountain Khitan Nabo.

"finally come!"

Yelu Bishe read a sentence in a low voice, with a look of determination in his eyes, he said to Yelu Wuzhi beside him, "Yu Yue, as you said, the leader of the bandits of the Southern Dynasty has challenged."

Yelu Wuzhi was not surprised and said, "This is the best result for both of us."

They couldn't afford to wait in Eastern Khitan, worried that after the Central Plains took over Haidong, they would threaten their important granary.

And the Central Plains didn't want to chew on the turtle's shell, and they both wanted to take the initiative to fight.

This is a tacit understanding between the two countries.

But it is obvious that the Central Plains is the active side, while they play passively.

Yelu Wuzhi didn't think it was something to be happy about.

Yelu Bishe said proudly: "The bandits of the Southern Dynasty despise us so much, let the Central Plains people know that we Khitan will not lose to anyone in the battle on the grassland."

His words were more like cheering himself up. After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Yeluwu and asked, "Has there been any news from Zbu?"

Yelv Bishe came to Mayu Mountain early, in addition to preparing to meet the Central Plains army, there is another point that he wants to persuade Mongolia to help.

Yelu Bishe is not a fatuous master, he understands the gap between the two countries in his heart.Try to win over all existing allies as much as possible, and increase the strength of your own side, so as to weaken the gap between each other.

The situation in the grasslands is different from that in the Central Plains. The rise of a country in the Central Plains often requires a long period of development to lay the foundation.

The rise of a powerful force in the north often only takes three to five years.

The formation is fast, and of course the destruction is also fast.

This is the case with Mongolia.

Khitan is losing its absolute control over Mobei and Monan. Mongolia, a nation living in the harsh environment of Mobei, has begun to emerge with its tenacity.

Especially with the support of Sage in the Yelu circle of the Northern Khitan, the eight divisions of the enemy were unified, and fragmentary Mongolians began to submit to the tribe of the enemy.

Mongolia gradually moved towards unification.

In the customs of the grassland, big fists are king.

With the development of Mongolia, the sister tribes Ugu, Tataer and Wuliangha in the east have chosen to submit to Mongolia without any suspense.

This is also related to the fact that Khitan was too strong in the early years. In order to establish a great northern country extending from the Yellow River in the south to Mobei in the north, the majestic Yelu Abaoji personally conquered the Dangxiang, Zubu and other tribes, and reached Wugu Mountain in the north. Bi Lijin, the governor of the Uighurs, fought westward to the present-day Altai Mountains, where he beat Tuyuhun severely.

This also led to a great loss of the strength of the nomadic tribes in Mobei. With the rise of Mongolia, there is no decent opponent around.

With the blessing of the national fortune, Mongolia has become the hero of Mobei, and its strength has surpassed that of North Khitan who supported him to grow up and is in decline.

Luo Youdu in the Central Plains has been planning the Northern Expedition, and Khitan's side is no exception.

They are also doing their best to countermeasure against the strength of the Central Plains.

Expansion to the east to subdue Jurchen is the first, joining forces with Japan to conquer Goryeo, the younger brother of the Central Plains, is the second, and forming an alliance with the upstart Mongolia in the north is the third.

If they want to join hands with Mongolia, the Northern Khitan is the biggest obstacle.

Yelv Bishe has also been trying to drive a wedge between Mongolia and Northern Khitan, and it has achieved initial results.

There was a rift between Yelufu Sage and the beggar of the Wu family.

It's just that the Eastern Khitan headed by Yelv Bishe didn't have time to take the opportunity to make trouble, and they didn't have time to reach an agreement with Mongolia. The Central Plains had already sent troops to Japan and Korea.

Yelv Bishe is not sure whether the Mongols will agree to form an alliance with them.

Yelu Wuzhi shook his head and said, "There is no news for now."

Yelubi hesitated to speak, and said: "According to the news secretly sent by Boduanchaer, the beggars of the Wu family want to associate with the Central Plains. They are really falling for the Central Plains, and we are in trouble."

Yelu Wuzhi didn't have a good solution for this, he was silent for a moment and said: "This is the worst outcome, if it is really the case, we can only retreat to the northeast and wait for the world to change."

If it were ten or twenty years ago, this
A change in the world can wait.

Back then, Yelu Abaoji lost his army twice when he went south, and was defeated by Li Siyuan and Li Cunxu successively in the later Tang Dynasty, so he put aside his intention to go south.

In the end, it was Shi Jingtang who offered Yanyun sixteen prefectures.

Now?
Unless Luo Youdu died prematurely, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope, otherwise it will not be easy to drink poison to quench thirst.

Yelu Wuzhi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you must be prepared with both hands. The determination to fight will not change, but when the crisis really comes, you should put everything down and retreat to the northeast to keep the state. If necessary, you can give up on the capital and hide it in the In the mountains. The Central Plains cannot be consumed for a long time regardless of people's livelihood. As long as Guozuo is there, there will be a time to rise again."

Yelu Bishe nodded solemnly and didn't answer, but he obviously had the same intention.

A stern look flashed across Yelu Wuzhi's eyes immediately, and he said harshly, "You don't have to worry about it, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and Zubou will be left without a master again."

Yelu Bishe suddenly realized, and said: "Yu Yue is worthy of my ovary, Kong Ming. Earlier, I had some objections to your spending a lot of money to secretly support Wu Liangha, but now I realize that Yu Yue is old enough to seek the country, and always predicts the enemy first."

He paused, then said: "Yu Yue can tell Boduanchaer that as long as I Khitan get through today's difficulties, I will fully support him to become the lord of Mobei. My stupid brother can support a Mobei overlord , can’t I, the majestic Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, not be able to do it?”

Yelu Wuzhi hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise! The old minister will arrange it now."

Watching Yelu Wuzhi leave, Yelubi rubbed his slightly aching brain, and his eyes fell on the "Wanquan Formation" in the corner of the desk, which was the formation diagram presented by Zhao Kuangyi.

He is not very good at military affairs, but Zhao Kuangyi gave him an excellent impression. The most famous Khitan monk, Master Sigong, once commented on Zhao Kuangyi, saying that he is smart and decisive, erudite and good at military art, serious and resolute, and ambitious , has the talent of Wang Zuo.

Wang Zuozhi's talent?
Isn't it just for him?
General Yelv took Zhao Kuangyi's formation and asked many of his generals to evaluate it, but no one was able to pick out the flaws.

"Is this map really so powerful?"

Yelu Bishe involuntarily spread the formation map on the desk, looking at the dense black shadows above, the huge formation map consists of the forward, the rear, the central army, the left wing and the right wing, and many soldiers on foot and crossbow carts lined up in order. Very spectacular.

"Unfortunately, this array is too huge, so it's inconvenient to try!"

Yelu Bishe felt a bit regretful, Zhao Kuangyi's [-]-strong formation stretched out for at least [-] miles, with [-] soldiers and horses.

It's not that Khitan doesn't have so many soldiers, but why does Zhao Kuangyi command an army of [-]?
"Invite Zhao Zhigao here!"

Yelu Bishe couldn't sleep, so he started talking with Wang Zuozhi, the master of the temple, and had a long talk all night.

Mobei Grassland.

Eight hundred rangers are chasing a black bear.

Facing the siege of an army, the mighty black bear has no power to fight back, so he can only run for his life in a hurry.

Mongolian horses are not good at speed, but also carry people on their backs, and soon lost the black bear.

The leader of this group of cavalry is called Boduanchaer, the patriarch of the Wuliangha tribe.

The prey got separated, but Botanchar didn't panic at all. He looked up at the sky, and a black shadow flitted across the sky, heading west.

Boduanchaer whistled and blew the bone flute around his neck rhythmically.

Eight hundred rangers immediately divided into three teams, outflanking left and right, and assaulting in the middle.

Boduanchaer stood on the high slope, watching the [-] Rangers under his command encircle a black bear.

They didn't attack, but played with the black bear like a cat playing with a mouse.

They galloped around the black bear, advanced and retreated with the black bear, showing extraordinary riding skills and tacit understanding.

The injured and irritated black bear kept roaring furiously, and finally fell down on the grass due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion.

A smile appeared on Boduanchaer's face, he looked at the vast sky, and then at the vast Gobi. He was full of pride in his heart, and a thought emerged: sooner or later, I will let Wuliangha resound throughout the world
His wish really came true for his tenth grandson, but at that time they were not called Wuliangha but the Qiyan tribe, and his tenth grandson was called Borjijin Temujin, who was drinking horses of Genghis Khan.

But now Boduanchaer is still the leader of a small tribe.

Boduanchaer's mother is Alan Guohuo, and his father is Doben Mergan, the patriarch of a large tribe in Mongolia who is slightly inferior to the Dilie tribe.

Why did the father put double quotes on this?
That's because Boduanchaer was born many years after Dobunmer's death.

In Alan Guohuo's words, she was a widow at home, and when she was resting in the tent at night, she dreamed that white light entered through the skylight, turned into a golden god, and came to the couch, and then she became pregnant.

Alan used this excuse three times, because she gave birth to three children, the eldest son was named Bohan Ge Dahei, the second son was named Bohejian Salizhi, and the youngest son was Boduan of the tenth generation family of Genghis Khan Temujin. Charlie.

This is also the origin of Temujin's gold family.

Even if the Mongols are low-educated, they still want to save face. I am ashamed to say that my ancestors are wild species. I don’t know who the eleventh family is, so I followed the lie of Alan Guohuo and the golden gods, and there is a golden family.

Dobun Mergan and Alan Guohuo had five sons, two of whom were born when Dobun Mergan was alive, named Belgunatei and Bugunetai.

They got most of Dobun Miergan's property...

According to the rules of the tribe, the son of the patriarch can more or less share part of the population, cattle, sheep and horses.

Belgunatei and Bugunetai looked at the two "same father and mother" brothers, and reluctantly gave them a small part of the population, cattle and sheep.

But when the fifth younger brother Boduanchaer came here, Bileguntai and Buguntai quit, and had a showdown with his mother, you and the gods have a happy child, and find the gods to divide the family property, don't harm us.

Boduanchaer is an open-minded man, seeing that the two "brothers" couldn't tolerate him, he rode a blue and white horse alone and went to live in the land of Alan in Balitun.

Boduanchaer has the tenacity of the Mongols. In a difficult place, he not only tamed a sea dongqing, but also lived happily with his excellent bow and horse skills.

After three months, dozens of herdsmen came to the vicinity from Lihulu in Tongji to chase water and grass. Boduanchaer enthusiastically helped them build houses, and got a useful news from them.There is a small tribe in Lihulu in Tongji. The patriarch never returns from hunting, and the tribe is in chaos.

Boduanchaer borrowed some soldiers from his half-brother, took the opportunity to subdue the tribe of Tongji Lihulu, and became the head of a tribe, named Wuliangha.

Boduanchaer was very ambitious and strategic. He kept absorbing and annexing small tribes of no-owner herdsmen, trained an elite cavalry archer unit, and gained a great reputation in the Mobei Gobi.

"here you go!"

Boduanchaer shouted loudly: "All warriors who are worthy of my Wuliangha, I will drink and eat bear meat together when I go back!"

Just as he was shouting, the eagle in the sky landed firmly on his shoulders, it was Hai Dongqing he subdued.

Boduanchar skillfully took a piece of bloody meat from the meat bag and placed it near the eagle's beak.

Hai Dongqing uttered two piercing calls, and then swallowed the meat in one gulp.

Boduanchaer led eight hundred rangers and brought the black bear back to the Wuliangha tribe. Looking at the fat black bear, the Wuliangha tribe burst into warm applause, cheering for their warriors.

Boduanchaer raised his arms high, and the applause stopped immediately.

Boduanchaer exclaimed with satisfaction: "The celebration will be held tonight, and everyone will eat bear meat and drink bear soup!"

As soon as his words fell, the shouting became louder.

Boduanchaer got off his horse, and a Mongolian boy came up to meet him and said in a low voice, "Someone from Eastern Khitan is here!"

Botuanchaer turned his head calmly and said: "Peel the black bear well, and I will give the bear skin to the patriarch."

After he finished speaking, he greeted the clansmen beside him and walked towards his yurt.

Seeing an Eastern Khitan envoy dressed as a Mongolian sitting in the tent, Boduanchaer slapped his chest and said hello:
"I saw an angel!"

The Eastern Khitan envoy called Yilin greeted Boduanchaer in proficient Mongolian, and also explained his purpose of coming, saying: "Your Majesty hopes that the patriarch can promote the alliance between Zoubu and Khitan, and it is best to deal with the Southern Dynasty together."

Boduanchaer didn't immediately agree, but fell into deep thought.

Wu Liangha became more and more famous, and inevitably entered the sight of the Eastern Khitan and the beggars of the Wu clan.

The Eastern Khitan has taken a fancy to Boduanchaer's ability and ambition. If the Wushi beggars are unwilling to accept their kindness, they need someone to help them contain Mongolia.

Boduanchaer is the best choice. Wulianghabu may not be strong, but behind Boduanchaer there is the boss Bohan Ge Dahei's Hedi Xinbu and the second brother Bohejian Sarizhi Shanzhi Kunbu may not be comparable to Dilie Babu, but it is also a well-known existence in Mongolia.

Wu's beggar also took a fancy to Boduanchar's ability and the influence behind it, and sent envoys to win him over.

Boduancha'er got a lot of benefits from both sides.

Seeing that Botuanchaer didn't speak, Yi Lin said in a low voice: "As long as the patriarch can facilitate this, His Majesty will help you become the Mongolian Khan."

Boduanchaer said: "I also need two thousand armors."

Eirin exclaimed in surprise, "It's too much!"

Boduanchaer said: "There are two thousand more armors in the clan, and a fool can notice the difference. I robbed your transport team, took two thousand armors, gave one thousand to Wu's beggars, and used one thousand for myself. That's it. It not only pleases him, increases the weight of words, but also removes suspicion.”

Yilin glanced at Boduanchaer unexpectedly, nodded and said, "I have agreed on behalf of Your Majesty."

Boduanchaer grinned, beat his chest and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift."
