Chapter 716 The laws of the grassland are equally cruel
Although Baye Gusi felt many crises and his father Dusage's attitude towards him became a little worse, he still wanted to meet Dusage.
Because he didn't come back to Voludo just to be unhappy, he came with a mission.
After being effectively abandoned by his father, Ba Yegusi quickly got close to his uncles in the Eight Divisions of Dilie.
And behind the Eight Divisions of Di Lie, the person standing was the Khitan. To be precise, it was the famous Khitan Empress Dowager Shuluping.
What, you asked Banye Gusi if he knew that the Khitan Kingdom was almost gone?
He definitely didn't know this, although there was news on the grassland that the Han people in the Central Plains had become stronger again, and they defeated the Khitan people, and even the Khitan emperor died in the battle.
But for the people on the grassland, this is not a big deal, because the Tang people in the south have always been so tough.
Isn't it normal for the Khitan emperor to go to the Central Plains to run wild before he became the leader of the grasslands like the Uighur Khans of the past, and was severely defeated by the Tang people in the Central Plains?
It seems a bit magical, right? This involves deviations in people's understanding.
There seems to be a fixed image in the minds of later generations of Chinese people, that is, men on the grassland, all seem to be equipped with iron armor, holding scimitars and riding tall horses, coming and going like the wind, with an air of watching eagles and wolves.
It seems that it is easy for them to break through a village, town or even a city in Han Dynasty.
Weng and his son-in-law each had their own plans, and Baye Gusi, who had not completed his mission, could only rush back.
"You don't understand. If someone raises this flag, he is half the Khan on the grassland. If he doesn't raise this flag, he is just an ordinary grassland leader.
Even if you are willing to give it now, you will basically change your mind when the benefits come in the future.
Therefore, grassland tribes like Dilie Babu still obey the command of Queen Mother Duanwu to a certain extent.
It's not that he still has any filial piety, but that Ba Yegusi doesn't have much strength. If he uses the Khitan people to move his father Dosage, the greatest possibility is that he will take advantage of his uncles who are enemies of the enemy.
It is very likely that the Khitan was not only severely damaged, but was about to decline.
Because this is a treasured place for offering sacrifices to the heavens of the Eight Divisions of Di Lie and the Third Division of Bei Zubu Bu. Every time Mierqi went south, these two tribes would unite to beat Mierqi even if they had many conflicts.
And it's only August, and there are at least seven months until spring next year, so Dusage is not in a hurry.
As a grassland chief whose father died when he was only eleven, and who was able to regain his family property in the end, it was impossible to do so without a few brushes.
What should we do about Yao Luo Ge Jingyi? This Ganzhou Uighur Yao Luo Ge is the only one who has slipped through the net, and he is scratching his head in his heart.
Erchen's compatriots in Ganzhou said that both Khitan emperors were beheaded by the Zhou army, and their strength had been greatly weakened.
However, the idea was good, but I suffered a big blow at the first step. Chief Zubu Haodu Sage is just a bit thicker, and I am not the kind of straight man from the prairie who is easily deceived.
On weekdays, when a Khitan commander comes to show off his power, he asks for the fattest sheep and the most beautiful women from each tribe.
He had to quickly go to the Queen Mother Duanwu to report that Du Sage was not prepared to act according to the Queen Mother's wishes.
The Han people, on the other hand, basically wore linen clothes of various colors, and then they were slashed by the prairie cavalry, spinning like tops and falling down.
A trip of tens of thousands of cavalry costs more than hundreds of millions, but I don’t believe it, and the Emperor of Zhou cannot understand this account.”
Baye Gusi came here not to persuade Dusage to hand over the flag. Shuluping wished that a local snake could carry the flag. What Shuluping asked was that Dusage could not act without permission.
.
But the location is so divided, but the Merqi tribe doesn't have a piece of the grassland on Wugu Mountain.
Shu Luping didn't believe it anymore. She didn't believe that a Central Plains dynasty like Zhang Zhou could control the grassland forever, even for a hundred years. The Tang Dynasty had gone far away and would never come back.
At least it can't be such a coercive condition. If Du Sage does this, the consequences will definitely be that Shao Tian will try to kill him.
With that said, Dusage looked at Yaoluo Ge Jingyi who took the initiative to be a head shorter than him and said: "Don't worry, when these three thousand households grow up, I will take one of the ten thousand households myself, and give one to Bagus for the other two."
, I’ll give you one!”
He will soon know that he and Cao Yansi are not the only ones who have slipped through the Yaoluoge family, and they are living a much easier life than him.
You must know that after he arrived on the grassland, he was immediately supported by his father-in-law Du Sa Ge. With the Yao Luo Ge brand, he quickly established a firm foothold in the Great Lakes Basin.
Zhang Zhou now has more than a thousand Uighur generals in his army, at least one and a half Uighur hussar battalions in the Forbidden Army, and at least a hundred Uighurs in the hands of the white crossbows in Shandu.
Especially when Shuluping arrived at Kedun City (near Qiaoba Mountain in Outer Mongolia) with two thousand armors, the Eight Divisions of Enemy Lieutenants immediately sent Baye Gusi to the west to contact Dusage.
Du Sage looked at Yao Luo Ge Jingyi with regret and said, "You are too forward-thinking and too weak. You are nothing like a man on the grassland. What can you do if the Zhou people have strong cavalry?"
Khulu Badu gave a charming smile, "The divination people don't have the strength to command the grassland, but their love for their father is greater than Tengger's.
As soon as the couple sat down, Du Sage told Yao Luo Ge Jingyi about the purpose of Ba Yegu Si's visit, that is, the intention of the eight enemy forces and the Queen Mother Duan Wan behind her.
Especially in the battle to destroy the Li family of the distressed army, Zhang Zhi recruited a large number of Ganzhou Uighur mining slaves at once to serve as cannon fodder cavalry and crossbowmen.
This big flag is the bargaining chip. Only with the bargaining chip can we ask for a higher price. Hmm! One hundred and twenty thousand households must be handed over to at least three heads of ten thousand households!"
Ba Ye Gusi's face instantly turned pale, and after a long while he asked in a low voice: "Then what can I get?"
If the Han people are all cowardly Aries, how can they use their heads to defend the colorful world of the Central Plains?
This requires a relatively close alliance to fight against the Zhou State in the Central Plains, and the spread of the Six Methods Sect gave her such an excuse, an excuse that made all the grassland tribes reluctant to obey the Zhou State.
This is a complete stereotype, and most of this impression was imposed on the public by unscrupulous film and television screenwriters and directors in later generations.
Among them, only more than 300 people were executed, and about 3,000 to 4,000 people died as mining slaves. The rest were pardoned one after another during Zhang's southern and northern campaigns.
When his mind was in chaos, more than ten riders intercepted Banye Gusi in the distance.
Then it absorbed Mierqi, Oranggai and some Shiwei tribes, restored its original living habits, and finally spent several decades to become the overlord of half of the grassland again.
Twenty-five years ago, when Yelu Abaoji conquered the Eight Tribes of Dilie for the first time, he also sacrificed white geese to heaven here.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty, the situation was completely different.
"Hahaha!" Du Sage laughed several times with great satisfaction, "My son said that the Khitans are extremely weak, but I think that is not correct. In my opinion, the Khitans are already finished!"
At its peak, there were more than 3,000 and 20,000 tribesmen, but when the Liufa Sect came, he was able to take away only two or three thousand tribesmen, and the rest had been completely converted.
"But if this is really the case, the Zhou people must be extremely powerful!
This was not easy to send away. Longyou in Hexi originally produced good horses. Before the Zhou people entered the Central Plains, they were famous for their iron cavalry coming and going like the wind.
"Your Majesty is wise! But you must also be careful of the Zhou people's cavalry." Yaoluo Ge Jingyi said the last words absentmindedly.
Although Yaoluo Ge Jingyi was unable to lead an army in battle, he still had political vision.
Do you really think that the men on the grassland don't like to come to the mainland to live a good life, and the cold wind in the north of Saibei is so refreshing?
Even in the late Song Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, those who overthrew the Han regime were, apart from their own incompetence, the main force in fighting, whether Mongolian or Qing, who finally defeated the country, were the Han princes or warlords in the north.
"It cannot be said that the two thousand soldiers brought by Queen Mother Duanwu are the last essence of the Khitan people!"
Queen Mother Duanwu plans to go to Woludo in person next spring, and then hold a general meeting involving almost all the grassland tribes. She even sent people to notify Yu'erhaiorang and Shuluping when they changed their tribe.
Yao Luo Ge Jingyi thought about it for a while, and compared to people like Du Sage, he was probably the person in the entire grassland who knew Zhang Zhou's strength better than Shu Lu Ping.
The Empress Dowager who had cut off her wrists was old-hearted. She was about to die and still wanted to give the Khitan people a last chance to survive.
Yao Luo Ge Jingyi looked at Du Sage in surprise, "Your Majesty, the Khitan has a hundred thousand armors, which is a bigger country than Goguryeo in the past! How can it be finished so quickly?"
Your Majesty, we can’t mess with the Khitans anymore, and we can’t hold up this big flag!”
"The Meerqi tribe wants to get the grassland around Wugu Mountain."
If they don't give it to us, we will retreat to the fishing sea and come back after they leave.
Suddenly, Yaoluoge Jingyi thought of a person. He was not the only one from the Yaoluoge family who had slipped through the net. There was also a man from the Yaoluoge family who was more closely related than him and was still alive.
Even if he retreated ten thousand steps and acted aggressively without changing his mind, his uncles and uncles would think of reasons to kill him.
If Shuluping is willing to help him realize this wish, Duosage will consider giving Shuluping some face.
Therefore, in the eyes of people like Banye Gusi, it would be strange if the Khitan emperor established a foothold in the Central Plains. But it would be normal if he went deep into the Central Plains and was beaten to death.
To the east of this mountain are the eight tribes of Dilie, to the west are the five tribes of Zubu, and to the north are the tribes of Merqi.
And because he grew up in Ganzhou, compared to a grassland chief like Du Sage, he read a lot, so Du Sage liked to consult Yao Luo Ge Jingyi about some things.
"Who is the Queen Mother? The Khitan people have been arrogant for decades, but they have never looked at us.
I'm worried that this Lu Ping is here to use us as cannon fodder to fight against the Zhou people, while the Khitan people are reaping the benefits from behind, so your Majesty must be on guard."
When the land hardened in June of next year and they came out of the fortress, a certain family had already unified all the ministries. The Emperor of Zhou gave 30,000 households, and a certain Du Sage came to serve him.
In her vision, the future of the Khitan people is to first rely on the Xianbei Mountains to survive.
....
Because they couldn't deal with these two thousand armored men, and the arrival of the Queen Mother Broken Arms in person meant that the alliance against the Six Dharma Sects originally proposed by the Khitans was about to begin.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is impossible to achieve peace by stating the law. The Zhou army is far stronger than the Khitan. It even has the majesty of the Li Tang Dynasty in the past, and the Six Methods Sect can deceive people's hearts that the Li Tang Dynasty did not have.
He thought about repaying his father's arrogance and jealousy to the Queen Mother, but Gusi still hesitated.
He had previously felt that the Khitans did not take the initiative to take up the banner of resisting the Six Dharma Sect this time, and there were some problems. Now he finally figured it out.
The character of Hulu Balshu is not consistent with his appearance. Just like Dusage looks rough but is actually a bit cunning, Hulu Balshu seems to be very wise, but he is very direct in his actions.
Even if it is the Khitan, even with Shi Jingtang, as long as he dares to go deep into the Han Dynasty, he will lose more and win less.
Now that the Empress Dowager Duanwu has come in person, she doesn't even summon me to Kedun City to meet her. Isn't this just a sign of cowardice?"
Just like now, after he intercepted Banye Gusi with a dozen warriors, he also buried dozens of long archers behind the mountain.
To be continued...
