Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 525: Ice and Snow Grassland 2

"Go to Liaodong and take over the rebels? But now Yeluhong controls the rebels, and he has a high prestige. After we headed to Liaodong, those rebels may not listen to us." Yeluyi said.

"Yeluhong is just an incompetent person. He is a puppet in the hands of the Han people. It is not worth mentioning! Although his prestige is high, there is still one person in this world whose prestige is much higher than Yeluhong! Please find this person Come, we can command the rebels!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Who has such a high prestige?" Yelu Yilie asked in surprise.

"Of course it's my Emperor Tianzuo of the Daliao Dynasty!" Yelu Dashi said lightly.

After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, the Khitan people around were all stunned.

Emperor Tianzuo is Yelu Yanxi, the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom! Historically, Yelu Yanxi was afraid of Jurchens and fled to the virgin forests around Mount Mayu and Jiashan. Yeluchun was enthroned only then, but relatively speaking, Yeluchun still had a bad name and was called "Northern Emperor". Emperor of Liao", and Yelu Yanxi is the emperor of Liao! After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi was not killed by the Jurchens, but was captured by the Jurchens and imprisoned near the Huining Mansion in Eastern Liaodong! Historically, it was not until 1156 that Yelu Yanxi was trampled to death by Jurchen horses. Now it is the seventh year of Xuanwu, but it is only 1133. Yelu Yanxi is still alive and well!

"We asked the Jurchen to release the emperor, and let the emperor order the rebel army. The rebel army is composed of our Khitan people. Who would dare not listen?" Yelu Dashi said.

"Not bad!" Yelu Yilie nodded, with a smile on his face.

"After mastering all the rebels, our strength will be greatly shaken, enough to compete with the Han people! When the Taizu Emperor of Daliao led the Khitan tribe to unify the north, we only had a population of several hundred thousand, but now it is only in the Liaodong area. There are two to three million Khitan people, and I heard that the number of rebels is close to one million! With such a large population and so many rebels, we can unify the north like Emperor Taizu did back then!" Yelu Dashi said.

"At that time, Dahan, you will be the new emperor of our Daliao!" said a general next to him.

Neither Yelu Dashi nor the rest of the generals took Yelu Yanxi to heart! Speaking of it, Yelu Yanxi was one of the chief culprits for the demise of the Liao Kingdom! Yelu Yanxi has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and his favorite thing every day is hunting. He spends more than half of the year hunting. In addition, Yelu Yanxi likes Buddhism, and the national power of the country is consumed on Buddhism. With the rise of the Jurchens, the Liao Kingdom is no longer an opponent! He is to the Liao Kingdom just like Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were to the Song Dynasty, he is the king of subjugation! Yelu Dashi and others naturally disdain the king of subjugation! They just want to use Yelu Dashi as a tool to control the rebel army in Liaodong!

"Whether I can be emperor is not important. The important thing is that my Khitan people can still stand on the mainland, can still become the first race, and can still live a prosperous life. This is the most important thing! What I have done I do it, it's all for the clansman!" Yelu Dashi said.

"The Great Khan's ambition, we naturally understand, and we will always follow the Great Khan." The surrounding Khitan generals said one after another.

"Our marching direction is about to change. We can no longer move towards Shangjing. We have to pass north of Shangjing and go to Liaodong from there! We may encounter Han people along the way, so we have to be careful!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Perhaps the Han people are not as powerful as the little prince said!" A Khitan general said.

"The Han people's ability to defeat Xixia, Jurchen, and Mongolia proves that their strength is really good. I underestimated them before! Before going to Liaodong, we try not to have a direct conflict with them!" Yelu Dashi said.

While talking, they continued to lead the Khitan team towards the east.

*** ***

The night is dark!

On the vast grassland, another army is also advancing on the grassland.

This army is all composed of cavalry, there are no old and weak women and children among them, and they are wearing the uniforms of the Song Army! The team of this army is also extremely long, and it seems that the number of soldiers is also extremely large!

In the darkness, there is no end in sight!

A very ordinary-looking general was walking in the front of the army. At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and the general looked forward. The night was dark, but the general had excellent eyesight. When he saw that the soldiers in front were all wearing Song Army uniforms, he let out a soft breath.

"Commander, we're back!" Those cavalry soldiers of the Song Army came to the ordinary-looking general and saluted.

"Have you checked out the road ahead?" General Song Jun said.

"There is an abandoned city not far ahead, which seems to be the location of Hedong City!" a cavalry said.

"Oh? Hedong City? What is this place?" Another general of the Song Army came over and asked.

"Hedong City is one of the border towns built by the Liao people! The grassland where we are now is where the Khitan Wugu and the enemy lieutenants used to be. It has a radius of thousands of miles, and Hedong City is its center!" The ordinary-looking Song Jun The general said.

The Liao Kingdom is a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural country. After the establishment of the Liao Kingdom, there are still many Khitan tribes existing on the endless grasslands. The Wugu and Dilie are both large-scale Khitan tribes! This piece of grassland is in the northwest of Shangjing, and Hedong City is the center of this piece of grassland, probably located in the area of ​​Mount Choibal in the later Mongolian state.

Compared with Mongolia in later generations, the civilization of the Liao Kingdom is much more advanced! The Mongolia of later generations can only destroy, but the Liao Kingdom knows how to learn and build! They have a perfect system, they learn the culture of the Han people, and they built countless cities on the grasslands! Whether it is Shangjing, Zhongjing or Hedong City, they are the crystallization of the civilization of the Liao people. Unfortunately, in the troubled times when the Liao, Song, Jin and Mongolia coexisted, the civilization of the Liao Kingdom was completely destroyed. Later generations of the Liao Kingdom have once again turned into a barren grassland. All the cities built by people are in ruins!

In this era, most of the cities of the Liao Kingdom still existed.

Half an hour later, Song Jun arrived at Hedong City.

It's dark here, and the city has no gates! They got into it!

It was also dark in Hedong City, the whole city was empty, there was nothing there! There was a cold wind blowing on the grassland, and there were constant ghost-like whines in Hedong City, which made people frightened.

The Song army has not rested for many days, and it is now stationed here.

There are quite a few empty houses in the city, countless soldiers squeezed into the empty houses, and they began to sleep soundly while lying on the ground.

The ordinary-looking general of the Song army had brought more than a dozen generals into a large room at this moment. Some soldiers were lighting a fire in the room, and they sat beside the fire to warm themselves.

"Where did Yelu Dashi go?" a general of the Song army asked.

"They shouldn't be far from here! There is also a possibility that they will go south ahead of time, in which case Li Xianzhong will block them! We don't have to march tomorrow, let's send people to investigate the whereabouts of the Khitan people in all directions!" General Song Jun said.

The generals around nodded their heads.

"I think Yelu Dashi probably already knows the news about our complete annihilation of Mongolia, and they will definitely be careful!" said a young general with a dashing appearance.

"That's right, our army is strong. This time we went north and swept across the north in a short period of time. Yelu Dashi should not fight us head-on! They will most likely go east and enter Liaodong!" The ordinary-looking general of the Song Army thought for a moment, road.

"If they go to Liaodong and unite with Wanyan Zonghan, they will really be a huge threat." Another general of the Song Army said.

"I'm afraid they will stir up the rebel army after they arrive in Liaodong, that will be a big trouble! Therefore, we must find them and wipe them out! There are a lot of Khitan soldiers and horses, but it is a pity that they are dispatched by the whole family this time, and there are still people in the army. Countless old and weak women and children! With old and weak women and children around, their marching speed will be slowed down, and their army will not dare to leave their tribe too far, they have lost the greatest advantage of cavalry!" The ordinary-looking general laughed.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is mobility, and the Khitan army is with the tribe, they can't abandon the tribe, they can't leave the tribe too far, naturally they have no mobility! Under such circumstances, Song Jun can attack them at will, but they can only be beaten passively!

"General Yue, how do we deal with the Khitan army?" a general asked.

"It's very simple. Whether it's us or Li Xianzhong, as soon as we meet the Khitan army, we will harass them with all our strength and don't let them have any rest time! After a few days, the Khitan people were exhausted, and then Li Xianzhong's troops arrived , With the elite soldiers against the exhausted army, we will definitely win a complete victory! Yelu Dashi led the people south, under the current situation, no matter what, there is only one way to fail!" said the ordinary-looking general.

Naturally, these people are none other than Yue Fei, the Chief of the Military Command of the Datong Military Region, and others!

Yue Fei was drawing a map on the ground at the moment, they were nearly thousands of miles northwest of Shangjing, and Li Xianzhong's army was located in the west of Shangjing, which was the territory of the black car Shiwei!

Shi Wei is a well-known minority in ancient China, belonging to the "East Hu" survivors! In the fourth century A.D., Khitan split from Shiwei. It is said in history that Shiwei Khitan came from the same source, with the Xing'an Mountains as the boundary, "Khitan in the south and Shiwei in the north". The language of the two is exactly the same! In addition, the Mongols are also descendants of the Shiwei people. The Mongols originated from the Shiwei tribe of Mengwu. Become the five major tribes of Mongolia! Of course, although Shiwei, Khitan, and Mongolia have the same ancestor, but in this era, their relationship with each other has long been alienated! Heiche Shiwei was a huge steppe tribe that was wiped out by the Khitan when the Khitan rose. It was probably located on the large grassland in the southeast of Mongolia today, and Li Xianzhong led the army there.

In this way, the defense line of Yue Fei and Li Xianzhong spanned more than a thousand miles, and they would never let the Khitan escape! Especially to the north where Yue Fei is located is the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Lesser Khingan Mountains. The Khitan people must go south from here, and this is the only way to go.

In the early morning of the second day, Yue Fei sent more than 10,000 people into more than a hundred teams to search for the whereabouts of the Khitan people on the grassland.

On October 29th, Yue Fei finally got the news of the Khitan army, and now the Khitan people are less than 150 miles away from here!
