Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 390 The hunter is still the prey
Xiao Shilu held a ball of snow in his left hand and a piece of jerky in his right, eating as he walked, the horse behind him didn't need a rope and knew to follow him closely.

As the half-brother of Empress Dowager Shuluping, Xiao Shilu was extremely prominent in the Liao Kingdom.

Not only is he a guard in the same room, he is also a supervisor in the same room, and he controls 3000 people in the left leather room to serve the Holy Army.

His two elder brothers were also in charge of the left and right Pishi armies, and the elder brother Xiao Dilu was also worshiped as the prime minister of the Beifu. He was one of the most powerful people in the descendants of the Liao Kingdom.

At this time, the Khitan people are still in the rising stage of the start-up, and they have not yet fully grasped the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which has led to overall corruption.

So even Xiao Shilu, the supervisor of thousands of furry troops, can still drink snow thirsty, eat dried bacon, and even in heavy snow, let him go, he can go.

Four days ago, according to Yelu Deguang's request, Xiao Shilu led 3000 people to explore westward. After passing the Jingbian Army, Xiao Shilu's 3000 people continued westward along the Hun River.

Of course, this Hunhe River is a tributary of the Yellow River that flows through Shanxi and Inner Mongolia provinces, not the Hunhe River in the northeast of Liaoxi and Liaoxi.

A gust of cold wind came from the north, Xiao Shilu threw away the blackened snow balls in his hands, and clapped his hands lightly.

"Xiao Qian, take 300 people to see if the forest over there can be repaired? Find a place with a leeward wind, let the boys rest and recuperate, and don't leave."

Xiao Qian is the eldest son of Xiao Shilu's elder brother Xiao Dilu, he is simple and straightforward, this time Xiao Shilu also brought him by his side, after making some military exploits, he can succeed his elder brother Xiao Dilu's position as Prime Minister of Beifu.

Of course, this Xiao Qian is not the last Xi Wang who beat Tong Gonggong's Northern Expedition army continuously after 200 years, but it's just the same name.

"Uncle, don't we leave here? Your Majesty wants us to find out that there is an invincible army in the west as soon as possible."

Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Shilu with some puzzlement, there was still more than three hundred miles away from the Tiande Army, but after passing the Jingbian Army, the movement speed of the army began to slow down.

They can only walk twenty or thirty miles a day. They are said to be cavalry, which is slower than infantry.

Xiao Shilu shook his head, pulled Xiao Qian to his side, then lowered his voice and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty was overwhelmed by the sudden ecstasy of getting the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

In the past, His Majesty only thought that he surpassed Emperor Shengtian (Yelu Abaoji) in government affairs, but now that he has obtained the Yanyun Sixteen States, he thinks that he is also superior to Emperor Shengtian in military affairs, which is very dangerous. "

"Isn't it? Emperor Shengtian attacked the Southern Dynasty several times, but was defeated.

Now His Majesty does not need much effort, and he will soon get the precious Han land like Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, so that the sons of Khitan can go to the Southern Dynasty at any time, which the Emperor Shengtian never did. "

Xiao Qian asked his uncle Xiao Shilu back with a little emotion. In his opinion, Yelu De only surpassed Yelu Abaoji who had more defeats and fewer victories against the Southern Dynasty in terms of martial arts.

"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, the nephew was also like this. As a veteran of Yelu Abaoji's time, Xiao Shilu was very dissatisfied, and he stared at Xiao Qian viciously.

"The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were not brought down by His Majesty, but were betrayed by the people of the Southern Dynasty, and Yunzhou has not yet been obtained. If you all despise the Southern Dynasty like this, we Khitans are really in danger."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shilu, who was burning with anger, did not let Xiao Qian go to investigate, but directly summoned the officers behind him and said.

"This place is not far from the Zhenwu Army's East Surrender City. Be careful of Fuzhou Zhejia's army, rest for two hours, and then find a small city where they can garrison, and send people to report to His Majesty every day."

"Supervisor, but His Majesty's order is that we must find out the news of the Tiande Army." A general with typical Khitan hair asked.

Xiao Shilu shook his head, "We only have 3000 people, if there are enemies who can cut off the Tiande army from us, then they can also eat the Tiande army, our 3000 people rush westward, beware of traps.

People from the Southern Dynasty are not all soft-headed like Shi Jingtang, but Zhejia from Fuzhou alone is a difficult opponent, so listen to me. "

At this time, not far from Xiao Shilu's 3000 people, Zhe Dejian led Murong Nobunaga and Chai Rong, and the three of them led three hundred cavalrymen in white robes, and they had already set their sights on these Khitan people.

Murong Nobunaga shook his head lightly, and said with some emotion: "Although I don't know who is leading this Khitan cavalry, but they are well-informed soldiers who only travel thirty miles a day. The ambush does not seem to be easy."

"It's really not easy, but it doesn't seem to be difficult." Chai Rong had different opinions. After the initial sense of alienation caused by the disparity in status subsided, Chai Rong increasingly showed his unique vision and outstanding ability in various aspects. up.

"Then tell me, why isn't it difficult?" Murong Nobunaga didn't think it was an unpleasant thing to be refuted by Chai Rong.

Because no matter who refuted Zhang Zhao, whether it was right or wrong, as long as the other party was not messing around, he would never get angry because of this kind of thing. Murong Nobunaga was unconsciously influenced by it.

"Because this cavalry was obviously sent out by the Khitan Lord to search for us, so they have no choice but to continue heading west, or stay on the sidelines and garrison.

If we continue westward, the farther they will be from Yunzhou, we can always find a time to ambush them.

If we just wait and see, we can connect with them, cut off the connection with Yunzhou, force them to turn around, and when they retreat, we can definitely win if we chase after them! "

"That's right!" Zhe Dejian glanced at Chai Rong appreciatively.

"We have a thousand sets of cloth armor, a hundred god arm bows, and fifteen hundred horned crossbows.

The armor is thick and powerful, and it is easy to wait for work. No matter how you fight, the opponent will not be able to beat us. It is nothing more than a matter of time. "

"There is a small town more than ten miles to the east. It used to be the beacon fortress of the Zhenwu Army. I guess these Khitan cavalry will definitely go there for repairs. Let's wait for them over there!"

Murong Xinchang laughed, in Tokyo, just hearing people say how brave the Khitan cavalry was, made Murong Xinchang's hands itch, so he was looking forward to fighting these brave cavalry.

. . . .

The Zhenwu Army was originally the place where Wu Xun of the North started, but after they used a lot of resources to go south to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony, the Zhenwu Army gradually declined.

Because of the colorful world of the Central Plains, few people can still look up to this bitter and cold northern land.

If it was in previous years, after the people from the north left, people from the north would come to fill it up.

But in fact, during the war in the Central Plains, the grassland was similar. As soon as Daibei Sanbu left, the place began to be barren, and the Yellow River, which was unmanaged, also began to rampage unscrupulously, and it was no longer prosperous in the past.

Even after the Khitan captured Fengzhou, they could only dump a tribe of several thousand people to the Tiande army, and Fengzhou City was abandoned by them.

Xiao Shilu stood on the collapsed Beacon Fort Beacon Tower, raised his eyes and looked west, he always felt that there was something peeping at him over there, which gave him a very ominous feeling.

The news of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun made the entire Khitan country boil, and everyone walked with wind.

Many people have already said that if the Shatuo people can be the emperor in the Central Plains, why can't the Khitan people do it?
And Yelu Deguang, who was supposed to be responsible for cooling down this trend, was just the one who was the most carefree, dreaming of becoming the emperor of the Central Plains, thinking that he had abundant martial arts virtues, and looked down on the heroes of the Southern Dynasty.

But Xiao Shilu didn't think so. He felt that just because Shi Jingtang came out of the Southern Dynasty, he couldn't think that there were Shi Jingtang everywhere in the Southern Dynasty.

If Peter wins one or two heroes, the Great Khitan will suffer a great loss, because in essence, the strength and population of the Southern Dynasty are higher than that of Khitan.

"Supervisor! The situation is not good, what do you think it is?" Kun Fa Khitan army general ran towards Xiao Shilu, holding a piece of armor leaf in his hand.

Xiao Shilu took it over and saw that it was a fragment of a skirt with dried purple-black blood on it.

"This was found more than [-] miles to the south. There were many horseshoe prints on the ground. I saw at least two dozen different kinds of horseshoes, and there were strange rings on these hoof prints, as if there were horseshoes on the ground. something like that."

"Someone is watching us. Is there any tribe in Mobei who is used to inlaying strange things on horseshoes?"

Xiao Shilu didn't panic too much, because the three thousand Fengsheng army under him were the elite of the Pishi army, and they were not easy to mess with.

Ordinary tribal cavalry, 30,000 people don't want to fight against their 3000 people.

General Kun Fa Khitan shook his head, he had never heard of such a strange tribe.

"Then it can only come from the west? Who is it? The Zhe family in Fuzhou should not be so courageous!"

Xiao Shilu frowned, "From tomorrow onwards, don't send people out to investigate, let the sons and daughters have a good rest, after eating and drinking, let's go back."

"The supervisor wants to lure these people out?" Kun Fa asked the Khitan general.

"The vast desert, if we don't let them show up, we won't be able to find them!"

Xiao Shilu smiled coldly, "I have been the best hunter in the grassland for so many years. I want to see who dares to treat us as prey!"

　I'm a bit stuck in my thinking. This chapter is written now, and it's a little later.
