Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 309 Yelu Abuli

With a pale face, Yelu Abli lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked curiously at the Liangzhou warriors and the three Dayun Temple monks around the carriage frame.

The road from Luoyang to Lanzhou was not easy. The little girl was so tired that she was vomited and diarrhea by the bumps along the way, and she just got used to it recently.

"Brother, why do those monks look so vicious? Their Buddha names are very strange. Are they begging for protection from the holy wheel-turning king in Hexi?"

The elder brother Yelu Abuli mentioned was a tall, tall man with a hooked nose.

The strong man turned his head and gave Yelu Aburi a doting smile, "Young lady, those bhikkhus monks are not ordinary monks, they are monks from Dayun Temple in Hexi. The leader looked very brave, but of course he was a bit fierce.

A certain monk just heard that all monks in Hexi respect the decree of the Holy Wheel-Turning King, and proclaimed that there is no Bodhisattva Wheel-Turning King in the South. It seems that Master Longbian is not talking big, there is really a Dharma King in Liangzhou, Hexi! "

This strong man with a hook nose who could be called brother by Yelu Aburi was also from the royal family of the Liao Dynasty. His father was Yelu Yaliguo, the fourth son of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji.

Yelu Yaliguo was worse than his elder brother Yelubei. In 921, Yelu Abao led an army to besiege Dingzhou. After hearing the news, Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Tang Dynasty, personally led an army north to rescue the siege. The two sides broke out in Wangdu, Dingzhou.

Heavy snowfall was not conducive to the actions of the Khitan cavalry, so Yelu Abaoji was defeated and escaped with only a thousand cavalry.

Yelu Yaliguo, who accompanied his father in this battle, did not escape and was captured by Later Tang.

Tang Zhuangzong did not kill him, but gave him the name Di Huaihui, and was assigned to Jinyang to guard the palace gate. After Tang Mingzong Li Siyuan came to the throne, he was transferred to Luoyang to continue guarding the palace gate.

Tang Mingzong and Zhuangzong also gave gifts to Yelu Abaoji every year in the name of Yelu Yaliguo.

This is not to kill but to punish the heart!

From then on, the Khitan people did not dare to look south for several years, or it was said that they had no face to go south.

Moreover, this battle was also regarded by Yelu Abaoji as a great shame in his life, and he went to see the Buddha within a few years.

Yelu Yaliguo, who was guarding the gate, waited until Yelubei came from Dandong and was given the name Li Zanhua. Tang Mingzong didn't let him guard the gate.

After that, Yelu Yaliguo was able to rely on his elder brother and lived a peaceful life. This time, Yelv Yaliguo, Yelubei's youngest daughter, went west, and Yelu Yaliguo also asked his second son Yeluhe to accompany him.

When Yelu Abuli heard what his elder brother said, a few traces of blush flashed across his pale face, and his energy was much better.

Although the little girl is only nine years old, it is obvious that she already has a little understanding of what she is going to go to the west.

Before leaving, her father, Yelubei, told her that most Khitan people believed in the Buddha, and if there really was a Dharma King in Hexi, they might as well serve him wholeheartedly so that his reputation would spread to the north and south of the desert and the coast of the East China Sea.

You are the precious jade girl chosen by the Dharma King. With this Buddha-like relationship, you will definitely be my family's strong support in the future.

Of course, Yelubei didn't know that he would be killed by the last emperor Li Congke soon, and he was still thinking about using his daughter's status as a Buddhist jade girl to gain influence among the Khitan people.

Yelu Abuli also knew her father's intentions and wishes. Although her father had to float to the Central Plains, he never forgot his identity as the Khitan and the eldest son of Liao Taizu. He always hoped to return to Khitan to regain the throne. .

In this case, in Khitan, where Buddhism is generally believed in, a prestige dharma king can definitely greatly enhance Yelubei's influence. Compared with these, what is there to be reluctant about a daughter?
"Augu, Yi Lijin, Master Longbian and the leaders of the warriors from Liangzhou came to inform us that King Zhang Fa of Liangzhou is going to attack Lanzhou City. They told us to wait here and enter the city after taking Lanzhou!"

The Yelu Abli brothers and sisters didn't say a few words, and Mu Shunyi, the captain of the guard, hurried over.

Aogu means goddess in Khitan language. At this time, some princesses in the Liao Kingdom who were favored by the emperor would be called Aogu by others.

Yi Li Jin is an official position inherited by Khitan from the Turkic language, referring to the tribal military leader.

Yeluhe's father, Yelv Yaliguo, was the fourth son of Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji. According to Khitan customs, he had his own tribe. All Yeluyaliguo, Yeluhe and his father were also called Yilijin by the Khitan warriors in the Central Plains.

"Hmph!" Yeluhe, who was more impulsive, immediately frowned and snorted when he heard what Mu Shunyi said.

"These Liangzhou people look down on people. Is my Khitan warrior just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Mu Shunyi frowned slightly. He was not as impulsive as Yeluhe. These 50 people were all the force used to protect Yelu Abli. How could they casually throw themselves into the battle between Liangzhou people and Lanzhou people?

He looked at Yelu Abuli, they were the guards protecting Yelu Abuli, of course they only listened to Yelu Abuli.

The nine-year-old girl thought for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Musheri, do you think those Liangzhou people will succeed? If we stand on the sidelines, will the Liangzhou people despise me as a Khitan warrior?"

Relic is also a Khitan language, similar to Lang Jun, and is a respectful title for men.

When Mu Shunyi heard Yelu Abri say this, his face showed a trace of surprise, and then he replied with his right hand touching his chest.

"Reporting to Ao Gu, I have met many Lanzhou people in Dongdu. They do not belong to each other, and the imperial court is stuck with their iron supplies, so they are not very powerful.

As for the soldiers of Liangzhou, if Master Longbian hadn't lied, they would have been very brave and good at fighting. "

"That is to say, people from Liangzhou are likely to succeed, right?" Yelu Abuli asked with long eyelashes twinkling.

"It's very possible!" Mu Shunyi nodded hesitantly, "But it may fail!"

"Then we Khitan warriors should fight with Liangzhou warriors, if we are sure to win, how can we show our importance?
Don't worry about me, Master Longbian and I went to the Weiyan Temple together, even if they failed, they would never dare to rush into the Buddhist temple and attack the Buddha. "

. . . .

Lanzhou City, the original Lanzhou Governor's Yamen, is considered to be a group of well-maintained buildings in the entire Lanzhou City.

Since the Wang family tribe entrenched in Lanzhou is a tribal union, there is naturally a place to discuss matters, and the most suitable place must be the Lanzhou governor's yamen.

The person in charge of the royal family is the patriarch of the Shatuo Li family. It is not a big problem to say that they are the Shatuo Li family.

Because they really have some kinship with the Shatuo Zhuxie tribe, but they are only distant relatives.

So when Li Keyong's great-grandfather, Zhu Xie Chixin of Shatuo Zhuxie tribe, left Tubo and defected to Datang, they did not follow.

Sitting opposite the patriarch of the Li clan, and even formed a distinct posture of resisting courtesy, was an old man in a leather robe.

Although the old man was wearing a leather robe, he had a nondescript frieze tied on his head, which seemed to indicate his identity as a Tang Dynasty man.

This person is the leader of the Wang family of Jincheng, doctor Yinqing Guanglu of the Later Tang Dynasty and Wang Zongheng, governor of Lanzhou.

Behind Wang Zongheng, a strong man with thick hands and feet, a long horizontal knife on his waist, and a chain armor stood tall. He was Wang Tinghan, the second son of Wang Zongheng.

The name sounds very elegant, but in fact he is one of the few brave warriors in the royal family. In history, he was canonized by the Later Zhou Dynasty as the General of Shunyi and the Tuiguan of Lanzhou.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Lanzhou governor's yamen was already very tense. The patriarch of the Li family looked at Wang Tinghan behind Wang Zongheng several times, implying something, but in the end he was worried about something and didn't speak.

Wang Tinghan also squinted at the patriarch of the Li clan, his hand had already reached into the hem of his robe, and he was holding the handle of the horizontal knife tightly, ready to draw the knife at any time.

"The leader of the Xiaoliang tribe came to report five days ago, saying that there seemed to be a large number of troops passing by in the north of Jincheng County.

Yesterday, Hua Ma'er, the leader of the Daliang clan in Jinchengguan, also sent someone to sue. One of their clan members went out to collect firewood three days ago, and they haven't returned yet.

Your king, horse and other families live in the north, so I have to tell you, is there any soldiers and horses from where to violate our border? "

Jinchengguan is located to the north of Lanzhou City, and it is the only official road that enters Lanzhou City from the north.

People coming to Lanzhou from the north, if they don't go through Jincheng Pass, there is only a small road to the northeast, but it is not easy to go through the steep Yema Valley.

The matter was a bit strange, and the patriarch of the Li clan felt that something was wrong. Originally, he wanted to invite everyone to discuss it today, but after a few words, the two sides choked up.

Unknowingly, the patriarch of the Li family habitually threw the pot at the Jincheng Wang family and other descendants of Tang'er.

"Maybe it's the Liangzhou soldiers and horses provoked by these plowmen. They want to monopolize these good fields!"

"I saw someone from Su Lun's family went to Wang's house yesterday, maybe they have some hookup!"

As soon as the patriarch of the Li clan spoke, someone led the matter in the direction of colluding with Liangzhou people.

"Wait for you, if you have any evidence, just show it. If you don't have any evidence, then go find it! Talking nonsense is going to hell."

"Joke! The snow on Hongchi Ridge is knee-deep, and Liangzhou soldiers and horses can still fly here? If you want to plant a frame, you have to make it better. The dog slave wants Yeye to teach you?"

In the face of accusations, the descendants of Tang'er, headed by the Jincheng Wang family, did not show any weakness and cursed one after another.

Speaking of which, the situation in Lanzhou is actually somewhat similar to that in Liangzhou.

The disputes between the Shatuo people and the Han people within the royal family also originated from the land.

Decades ago, the Jincheng Wang family was the dominant family, controlling a large tract of fertile land near the Zhuanglang River and the Yellow River in and around Lanzhou.

At that time, in order to strengthen their strength and to have more Dingkou, the descendants of the Han people headed by the Wang family of Jincheng recruited the Shatuo tribe and other Qiang tribes on the mountain.

At the beginning, the two sides lived in peace. After all, Lanzhou is so big that it is not a big problem to support tens of thousands of people.

But later, the mountain became colder and colder, and more and more tribes came down.

After Datang and Tubo stopped cooking, the two major forces that had been seeing each other in Lanzhou disappeared, and Lanzhou also ushered in a long period of peace.

During this period of time, the population has grown rapidly, almost doubling to 70,000 to [-]. In the generation from Jincheng County to Lanzhou City alone, there are [-] to [-] people.

You must know that when Datang controlled Lanzhou, there were only tens of thousands of people here, but now it has increased to hundreds of thousands, and it is approaching the limit of land carrying capacity, and the contradiction between people and land has become more and more acute.

The Jincheng Wang family and other Han families felt that the land in Lanzhou belonged to them, and that these Shatuo and Qiang people came down the mountain to be their tenants, and now they want to seize their land and reclaim wasteland everywhere. amnesty.

The Shatuo people and the Qiang people believed that the Tang people were not allowed to open up wasteland despite occupying good land. This was to drive them back to the mountains to die, so the conflict between the two sides escalated rapidly within a few years.

After some quarrels, there was naturally no result. Originally, the patriarch of the Li clan wanted everyone to discuss how to deal with the threat of Liangzhou Zhang Zhao?As a result, there was almost a fight in the Yamen of the governor of Lanzhou.

Back home, Wang Tinghan sighed, and before he could take off the armor, he went to his father Wang Zongheng and said.

"Your Excellency needs to make a decision. Some viewers today have the intention of drawing their swords. If it weren't for the fact that more than a dozen people including Hai'er and the fourth brother are in armor, they might have attacked and killed them.

I heard that Zhang Sikong in Liangzhou has thousands of soldiers, and he is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva Dharma King. Everyone is Tanger, why not take refuge? "

Wang Zongheng sat heavily on the Hu bed, gasped for several breaths in his throat, and then slowly became fatigued again.

"My son said, how can I not know, but it is Zhang Sikong who has thousands of soldiers, so I dare not seek refuge.

Even if he does not use force, there is still room for us, but now he has thousands of soldiers, what is lacking is not warriors, but the goods to support these soldiers.

Apart from wealth, what else can my royal family have in the eyes of Zhang Sikong?
Not taking refuge is just giving up some property to Nasha Tuohuer. If he takes refuge, how can the Wang family's more than [-] mu of land be protected? "

　Some careful book friends found that the age of Yelu Abuli has changed. This is definitely not because the author likes young people, but recently found a document saying that a suspected tomb of Yelu Abuli was found in Inner Mongolia, aged 20-23 years old about.However, the birth date of Yelu Abri is unknown, and the year of her death is 949, so the tiger took an intermediate value and determined her to be 22 years old, so her birth year became 927, so at the beginning of 937, she was nine years old and almost ten years old.
