Chapter 1210 Xia King
The cavalrymen who came with Li Guangrui were immediately shocked by the fertile land as soon as they arrived in Hetao.
Although Henan is fertile, hundreds of thousands of people are crowded to grazing. The land has long been severely desertified and urgently needs new pastures. The endless and abundant water supply of Hetao is their new journey.
The cavalrymen were very motivated when they thought that their tribe would grazing here, and they all felt that Leader Li was not lying.
The tribe leaders who followed were also very satisfied.
"General Yelu, I'm sorry for you!" Li Guangrui was full of confidence. He rode on the horse, wearing the armor given to him by the Tang people, and shining in the sunlight. He was extremely proud.
And beside him was the envoy from the Khitan, Yelu Proluo, in his thirties, with a strong figure and hairy hair. He was riding a horse and looking at the endless stream of Dangxiang cavalry.
"Yeah!" Nodded slightly, Yelu Prou maintained the pride of the Khitans. He raised his chin and said to Li Guangrui: "There are so many cavalry, but the leader should not be too proud. It is unlikely that it can compete with the Tang people."
In Yelu Proluo's eyes, the Dangxiang people in front of him were not worthy of the title of cavalry.
The dirty braids, the black face, the torn sheepskin coat on her body, and the naked feet, except for the thick calluses, were covered with scars or frostbite.
Most people don’t even have a pair of leather armor, and they don’t have a pair of boots. The only thing that accompanies them is bows, arrows, or horses, and nothing else.
Seeing this, Yelu Pluo was full of pride.
The Khitans had conquered a large number of tribes and had abundant resources. The craftsmen in the Bohai Sea built armor and weapons for them, the Xi people built cars for them, slaves were slaves, the Shiwei people grazed as slaves, and the Jurchens handed over furs...
For armor and other things, the elite leather soldiers were almost all armed. Even ordinary cavalrymen were armed with armor, and some were armed with armor among the two or three people. They were not like Dangxiang people, but there were only two or three thousand people wearing armor, less than 10% of them.
Of course, he knew that cavalry that survived in such harsh environments had strong explosive power, but without training and the bonus of armor and weapons, no matter how powerful the cavalry was, it would be difficult to achieve.
Before the Khitan completely conquered the Bohai Kingdom, it was difficult to separate the Central Plains. However, once the Bohai Sea was conquered, it would only take a few years to destroy the Later Jin and enter the Central Plains. This is the power of the system and armor.
However, the Dangxiang people were too different from the Khitans, and even with their advantages, it was difficult to defeat the Tang people.
"No matter how powerful the Tang people are, they are there. As long as they leave the city, they are no match for us. Without reinforcements, they are enough to kill them."
Li Guangrui naturally knew the power of the Tang Bing. After all, they had fought side by side, but it was precisely because of his understanding that he resolutely chose Hetao as the new territory of the Dangxiang people.
Only after a new war and the interest is divided can his prestige be greatly improved, and then the Dangxiang people can be unified and thus establish a great Bai Gaoguo belonging to the Dangxiang people.
The so-called Dabai Gaoguo is because Dangxiang lives in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is clear, so Dabai Gao comes from it. Some people say that it advocates white, so it is Dabai Gao.
Thinking of this, Li Guangrui was excited. He turned his head and said, "I wonder how many cavalry soldiers have come to your country?"
Yelu Puluo smiled and said, "It's probably too late to go from Shangjing, so he can only recruit some tribes from the northern part of the Mobei region, three to five thousand people. The main force still depends on your Dangxiang people."
"Does there be no armored weapons? Is it empty-mouthed white teeth? That's not what I said before."
Li Guangrui was unhappy. These thousands of tribe soldiers were not as good as him. He had cleared out the Yinshan tribes with Li Jixun before, and his strength was worrying.
"Chief, don't be too hurry!"
When Yelu Pulu heard this, he was furious. The damn man Dangxiang had no etiquette at all.
After slowing down, he said, "Although there is no such thing, I have brought a Khan's imperial edict to the leader!"
"King of Xia?"
Li Guangrui took it over and saw that he was also a rough understanding of the words. Although he was confused when he saw the Khitans' parallel prose, he still understood the last word Xia.
He also knew the origin of King Xia. This was the title of king that his father had received from the Central Plains. Although he did not inherit it, he remembered it clearly.
There is also a royal robe, but it is still in his hands!
"This is not a false throne, but a hereditary throne. The entire Hetao and Yinxia region, whether it is the Dangxiang people, the Turks, or the Uighurs, are all people under your rule."
Yelu Pluo said temptingly.
It's fun to say that Li Guangrui doesn't understand Khitan dialect, and Yelu Pluo doesn't understand Dangxiang dialect. The two of them communicated in Chinese, and their pronunciation was very clear, but they just had a bit of local flavor.
It is quite ironic to talk about anti-Tang in Chinese.
"The King of Xia is King of Xia!"
Li Guangrui said indifferently, and then said seriously: "Since your country has not sent anything, there is no condition to talk to me. I will only say one thing, when fighting, you must listen to me, and your thousands are no exception."
"When I'm in a war, don't say anything or command randomly, otherwise, hum!"
After saying that, Li Guangrui took this imperial edict to various tribes to promote his status. With the support of the Khitans, his position became more secure.
A large number of Dangxiang cavalry skillfully mastered the skills of robbery. If the water of the Yellow River is sprinkled, it will disappear in an instant.
Li Guangrui was not the case. He stared at Fengzhou, the largest city in Hetao, and most of the troops besieged it.
Unlike the Khitans, there were many craftsmen in the Dangxiang tribe, but the embarrassment was that it was impossible to create conventional tools such as rushing cars and ladders without large wood.
"There is very little wood in Hetao!" Yelu Pluo whispered: "You have to go to Yinshan to log, hundreds of miles away, it's nothing."
"snort!"
Li Guangrui said coldly: "I don't believe it. Will it be possible to demolish other cities and houses?"
Soon, the other robbers returned in disappointment. Faced with Li Guangrui's questioning, they said helplessly: "There are not a few cities in the nearest, and there are not even a few wood."
"Strengthen the walls and clear the fields--" Li Guangrui and Yelu Prou said in unison.
"Damn it!" Li Guangrui said angrily: "Hasn't Yang Ye always fearless of death, and defeated the strong with the weak? Why did he curl up in the city and dare not come out, and he even used a strong wall to clear the wilderness!"
This unexpected situation made Li Guangrui particularly angry and even a little afraid.
Strong walls and clear fields means that all food and population cannot be robbed, and they can only rely on the support of the Dangxiang people. Once they cannot survive, they will have to fail.
Such a result is definitely not what he wants.
