Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 190 Huma

The history of Yunzhong County is very early, which can be traced back to the period of King Wuling of Zhao. After the fall of Zhao State, Qin General Meng Tian expedition to the north and recaptured the Hetao area from the Huns. The Qin Dynasty established two counties in the area and also called Hetao the New Qin Dynasty. middle.

The Hetao area can be roughly divided into three parts, also known as the "Three Tao". Liu Ling controlled the Qiantao Plain, while the Houtao Plain, Xitao Plain, Henan, and even the Hexi Corridor were all in the hands of the Xia people. It was garrisoned by the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, and Wu Lahai City was built locally.

On the fifth day after the army arrived at Jiashan, a small group of sentinel cavalry sent to the west conveyed the news that most of the Houtao Plain in the hands of the Xia people was pasture, with almost no cultivated land. Liu Ling immediately found two recruits from the northwest. An old Liao official from Tuosi inquired about the situation.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Ling asked why there was no cultivated land in the Houtao Plain, the two men also looked confused, and immediately replied that this was just pasture.

The Houtao area and the Hexi Corridor controlled by the Xia people are to the west of the Yellow River. They suffer from serious water and soil erosion. They are strategically important areas and pastures at most, but are not suitable for farming. To put it simply, Liu Ling did not need to capture this place.

"I don't do business at a loss."

Liu Ling looked at the map carefully and said without raising his head: "When we cross the Yellow River and capture Wulahai City, we will move all the local households to Yunzhong. If the Xia people are willing to take the remaining pasture, they can Just leave it to them.”

"Here!"

The main purpose of war has never been simply to kill. At least for Liu Ling, he clearly wanted to completely conquer the grasslands this time and at the same time step on the Xia people. As for whether the two will spontaneously unite. Get up, in Liu Ling's opinion there is no such possibility.

The political system of the Xia Kingdom is similar to that of the grassland. Although it has a court and various government offices, in fact, each has its own tribe. The court is now divided into three factions, not to mention the grassland people. .

Wanyan Zongbi chanted lightly. In order to pursue a sense of ceremony, he still used Chinese. After he finished singing, he looked at the two Han army sentries kneeling in front of him, and whispered in Liao dialect: "If we surrender, I... "

Before he finished speaking, one of the sentry riders took a deep breath, and then aimed a mouthful of phlegm at his face.

Han Fang lifted the curtain and walked in, saying in a deep voice: "Han Shizhong sent someone back with a message saying that they were about to arrive at the Bai Dadan tribe again. His Khan Bedgur once again entangled more than 20,000 coalition forces and prepared to resist."

When Liu Ling was thinking about it, an announcement came from outside, saying that envoys from the Basimu and Geluolu tribes were asking to see him, and at the same time they presented surrender orders.

"If we lose the Qilian Mountains, my animals will not be able to survive. If we lose the Yanzhi Mountains, my women will lose their color."

The Bai Dadan tribe is another name for the Wang Gu tribe. Liu Ling clearly remembers that the last time Han Shizhong and Liang Zhe's troops entered the grassland in two groups, the enemy was this Wang Gu Khan. At that time, Liu Ling thought that he had beaten him into submission. .

These two tribes are north of the Wanggu tribe, but they are probably just betting separately. They have no intention of doing much for Liu Ling. The latter knew it well, so he just met the envoy, gave a few words of reward, and then Let people entertain you well.

"It's him again?"

But now it seems.

Liu Ling's eyes narrowed and he said softly: "Send all the sentinels out and explore the clouds to see if there is anything strange about the golden man."

The two golden soldiers who were in charge of guarding immediately raised their knives and stabbed them into the back of the body. Then they turned around. The two sentries' eyes widened, and they made a hoarse sound in their throats. The corpses fell to the ground one after another.

Wanyan Zongbi wiped his hands and stood up, kicking the two corpses carelessly.

"I met the King of Han at the end of his youth. Although he was still a junior general at that time, in my opinion, he already had a great image. Even my second brother felt that if Liu Ling was not killed at that time, he would be It’s really the biggest regret in my life. But it’s not too late now.”

The five thousand elite Jurchen troops, plus the surrendered Han army and miscellaneous soldiers of various ethnic groups, can add up to more than 13,000 soldiers. At present, the Han army and Han Shizhong's troops are marching forward desperately. The Wanggu people are pretending to fight, but in fact they are After accepting the order from the Jin man, he had the task of luring the enemy.

After luring Han Shizhong's troops into the encirclement, the Jin people would immediately close their mouths. The King of Han would definitely be reluctant to leave behind the elite soldiers and horses of Han Shizhong's troops, so he would naturally lead his troops to the north to support Yunzhong.

"When the time comes, as soon as we go out to the encirclement point to call for reinforcements, I, the commander, will eat as many soldiers and horses as Liu Ling dares to send to support."

Two figures appeared behind Wanyan Zongbi, one tall and the other thin.

Wanyan Loushi said calmly: "After the last battle at Ning Yuanpo, I always felt dissatisfied. After several replays, I realized that Hanwang was almost certain to win that time. Because I was too careless. "

That time, he led tens of thousands of soldiers to defeat the Liao Lord's central army first, and then pursued all the way south. The soldiers were already exhausted. On the contrary, Liu Ling was waiting for work, and the soldiers in the army were not rotten fish.

"Yan Yun is the place where the Fourth War was fought. He is guarding the place honestly. I really don't dare to lead his army to attack again. However, Liu Ling is arrogant now. Isn't it necessary to take this opportunity to break one of his legs? .”

Wanyan Zongfu agreed with a smile: "Liu Ling likes to call himself Han the most, and now he is even more crazy about calling his army Han army. He is really proud of himself."

The three people looked at each other and laughed.

The grassland coalition forces actually exceeded 30,000, and the Yinbei grassland also sent coalition forces south. They would not like the rise of a strong neighbor in the south, but they thought this was a war between the grassland tribes and the Han king, and they did not know that the Jin people were also involved. A kick.

The Wanggu people will continue to fake defeat. After Han Shizhong's entire army has completely entered the grassland, the Yinbei Grassland Allied Forces will join the battlefield as the second wave of reinforcements, hindering the Han army's advance momentum.

After this war, both the grassland and the Han army will inevitably be severely weakened, and Daijin can obtain a large number of cattle and sheep to make up for the vacancies in the country.

Wanyan Loushi had never taken a fancy to the King of Han from the beginning to the end. What really made him feel a little troublesome was the coach named Han, who also reminded him of a general under his command.

"Where's Changren Han?"

"The end will be here."

A muscular man walked out from behind and bowed respectfully to Wanyan Lou's room. From his appearance, it could be seen that this Han Chang was a Han.

"Your father often told me that he hopes to make contributions to Dajin so that he can live up to the high expectations the court has for your family."

Wanyan Loushi said softly:

"You are going to fight for your father, so you must listen to his words carefully. After this battle, the army under the King of Han will be divided into six thousand by me, the commander-in-chief."
