The Monan Grassland, the station of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, compared with other places located in the south of Yinshan, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate located in the Desertan Grassland can be said to be very barren, the herdsmen here are all nomadic herdsmen, and all kinds of living materials are relatively scarce, but compared with other areas on the grassland, it can be said that it is a paradise on the grassland, so there are also many grassland tribes who come to take refuge.
"Brother Huang, how many soldiers and horses does the Anbei Army have now?"
asked Li Xiaoren.
Li Xiaoren immediately replied: "Your Majesty, there are now 30,000 regular troops in the Anbei Army, and there are more than 30,000 cavalry in another tribe. ” Li Liangzuo said with some shock: "That is to say, there are now 60,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, plus the 100,000 troops brought by me, there are 160,000 troops in the Northern Expedition this time; With this army of 160,000, this grassland is already in my pocket. ” Then Li Liangzuo gave an order to Li Xiaoren: "Li Xiaoren obeyed my orders, and immediately passed on my will and ordered the chiefs of all tribes to lead their troops to meet me. ” "Yes, Weichen takes the order."
Li Xiaoren took the military order.
Since each tribe did not have a fixed place to settle, it was a bit difficult to find, but there was a record of each tribe in the Anbei Prefecture, including their migration routes.
So it's not too difficult to find, and when the chiefs of the tribes haven't arrived yet, God gave Li Liangzuo a chance and an excuse to send troops to the grassland.
On the day that Li Liangzuo crossed the Yin Mountain from the Gaoque Pass, a great battle broke out in the depths of the grassland, between the cavalry of the Northern Blocking Division of Mogusi and the Liao army under the command of the Northwest Recruiting Division under the command of Yelu Jin of the Liao State; Facing more than 100,000 cavalry from the Northern Blockade Division, Yelu Jin could only shrink his forces to resist the defense of the city, and at the same time, Yelu Jin ordered the surrounding grassland tribes to gather troops and horses to attack the Northern Blockade Division.
However, the Liao State is now declining, and who is willing to listen to Yelu Jin's orders, in desperation, Ye Lu Jin accepted the advice of a general under his command and asked for help from the Anbei Protectorate of Western Xia; In Yelu Jin's view, Northern Liao and Western Xia are related by marriage, and even if the land of the four states on the grassland is ceded to Western Xia, it is better than falling into the hands of this group of rebels.
Li Liangzuo, who came to the grassland, naturally could not nest in the big tent every day, on this day Li Liangzuo was taking Ye Luyue, as well as generals at all levels and tribal chiefs to hunt in the grassland, at this time most of the grassland is still a paradise for wild animals, and it is very common for large animals such as yellow sheep, horses, and wolves to be on the grassland.
Today, Li Liangzuo and others were lucky enough to encounter a herd of yellow sheep, about more than 200 of them, and hunting was also a major source of food for nomads in this era; It's just that Li Liangzuo's hunting is more for entertainment, and it is also an important way for Li Liangzuo to communicate with these frontier generals and tribal chiefs.
Yeluyue, who has not galloped on the grassland for a long time, is very excited today, without the restraints in the palace, Yeluyue has regained her lively nature, Yeluyue excitedly pointed to the sheep in front of her and said: "Brother Liangzuo, look, it's a yellow sheep, a lot of yellow sheep." ” After Ye Luyue finished speaking, he picked up the bow on his horseback, and immediately shot an arrow at a yellow sheep not far away, but Ye Luyue's archery skills were very poor, and he had not touched the bow and arrow for many years, so one of them missed, not only that, but Yelu Yue's arrow also alarmed the yellow sheep, and the yellow sheep who were still foraging immediately ran.
Looking at Ye Luyue, who was a little depressed, Li Liangzuo flew to change horses, jumped up directly from Hei Feng, landed on the war horse that Ye Luyue was riding, and rode a war horse with Ye Luyue; Li Liangzuo didn't say anything, gently grabbed Ye Luyue's little hand, and then put on the arrow feather and pulled the bowstring and said softly: "Relax, hold your breath, look ahead with both eyes, and aim the arrow at the prey and release the arrow."
As Li Liangzuo let go, a sharp arrow flew towards the galloping yellow sheep, and in just a moment, he saw a yellow sheep not far away being shot to the ground, and all the soldiers immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, long live."
After a while, a knight rode a horse and galloped to the prey shot by Li Liangzuo, grabbed the prey shot by Li Liangzuo and raised it high, and then everyone found that Li Liangzuo was shot in the eye by an arrow, which directly killed the yellow sheep on the spot, and the whole sheepskin was not damaged at all, which shows that Li Liangzuo's archery skills are superb.
Not far away, a group of more than a dozen cavalry rushed towards the place where Li Liangzuo was hunting, and at the same time, a big eagle was circling and flying in the sky, Ye Luyue excitedly shouted: "Brother Liangzuo, look, it's an eagle, it's an eagle."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Then I will shoot it down for you." ” After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he returned to his horse, picked up his golden dragon treasure carving bow, with a special golden ridge long arrow for himself, and pulled the bow like a full moon against the hovering eagle, after a long time, Li Liangzuo finally found the best shooting position and angle, only to hear a bang, a long arrow left the string, and quickly disappeared in the air, just for a moment the eagle that was still hovering fell directly from the air.
Seeing that the eagle that was shot by Li Liangzuo fell, everyone cheered, and in the cheers of everyone, Li Yi walked to Li Liangzuo's side and said: "Your Majesty, a few Khitans from the northern grassland want to see you. ” When Li Liangzuo heard this, he instructed Li Yi: "Take them to the big tent and wait for me." ” After Li Yi left, Li Liangzuo said to Yeluyue: "Yue'er, you play here first, I have some things to deal with." ” "The concubine sends your majesty."
Ye Luyue saluted Li Yi.
When Li Liangzuo returned to the big tent, he saw a few Khitan warriors covered in blood, shabby clothes, and tired faces, and after seeing Li Liangzuo wearing a dragon robe come in, several people immediately saluted Li Liangzuo and said: "Foreign General Black Dete pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia." ” After Li Liangzuo walked to the handsome chair and sat down, he said to Black Deter: "Aiqing is exempt, I don't know what Aiqing came to find me."
Hedete Putong knelt down in front of Li Liangzuo again and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I will ask you to save more than 100,000 Khitan people in my northwest recruitment."
When Li Liangzuo heard Hedeter's words, he was very happy in his heart; Li Liangzuo was happy not only because the Northwest Recruitment Division asked for help from him, but also because of what Hedet said to himself, Hedet begged himself to save the Khitan people, not the people of Liao, although there was only a difference of two words, but it expressed that the Northwest Recruitment Division has broken away from Liao.
"General, please get up quickly, I am now blind, I can't rush to send troops," Li Liangzuo said to Black Deter.
At this time, Yeluyue came in, and after Hedet saw Yeluyue, he knelt in front of Yeluyue again and prayed: "Princess, I beg you to persuade Emperor Xia to save more than 100,000 people in Khitan."
Yeluyue saw that Hedet was a little surprised and said: "Hedet hurry up, why are you here, what happened?"
Li Liangzuo didn't expect that Yeluyue would know Hedeter, and Hedet told Li Liangzuo and Yeluyue all the news of the rebellion of the Northern Blockade Department besieging Zhenzhou; In order to resist the rebellion of the Northern Blockade Division, Yelujin took the initiative to shrink his defense, gave up Zhaozhou and Fangzhou on the outside, and focused on defending Victoria and Zhenzhou.
