Longcheng, Yingzhou, Liaodong.

Khitan Khan Li Huaixiu and Xi tribe Khan Li Yanchong hid in the hall full of charcoal fire, drinking warm Zhongshan wine, and smelling the scent of the wine filled with the hall, feeling like they were drunk and dreaming.

"I really can't bear to leave!" Li Huaixiu looked at the beautiful house reluctantly and sighed.

Li Yanchong also looked regretful.

The Khitan and Xi tribe both belong to the Donghu lineage. The Xi tribe is distributed near Ruoshuizhou, Qilizhou, Luoguizhou, Tailuzhou, and Huiyezhou, which is the Jilin area of ​​Inner Mongolia in later generations. The Khitan is located in the Xilamulun River Basin and is nomadic in western Liaoning. The tribes usually follow the water plants and livestock and livestock to be close neighbors with the Xi tribe.

Since Wu Zetian took power, he has eliminated other ministers and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, killed outstanding generals such as Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, and Heichi Changzhi, weakened the combat capabilities of the court and caused the political turmoil of the country. He also lacked effective control on the outside, causing many foreign tribes who depended on the Tang Dynasty to become enemies of the court.

The Xi tribe and the Khitan took advantage of the situation to capture Liaodong and took a place in Liaodong for their own possession.

In order to resist the Tang Dynasty, they formed a rope under pressure, and the two tribes intermarried, prospered and lost, and became as close as a family.

Since Pei destroyed the Eastern Turks, the Xi tribe and the Khitan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji also gave the Khan Li surname to the two tribes at the right time to show his importance.

Since Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty has always regarded itself as the Khan of Heaven.

Even Zhongzong Li Xian, whose ability level is at the sewer level, has the title of Tian Khan.

It is a common feature that the foreign tribes who are dependent on the command to fight together. Zhang Shou and An Lushan were in charge of Youzhou and Liaodong for many years, and they also led the Xi tribe and Khitan troops to fight many times.

An Lushan himself has the Hu bloodline and Li Huaixiu, and Li Yanchong is even more intimate and becomes brothers to each other.

This time, An Lushan went south, and the Xi tribe and Khitan made a lot of efforts.

At the cost, An Lushan was cedeed to the Xi tribe and Khitan in Liaodong.

Since the Xi tribe and the Khitan seized Liaodong in the past, they regarded Liaodong as their own inherent territory.

In fact, Liaodong was not rich in this era, but compared to the bitter and cold Mengwushi Wei, Liaodong was obviously much richer.

They moved their entire tribe to Liaodong and western Liaoning without hesitation, and lived happily on this land.

In their hearts, Liaodong and western Liaoning were their homes where they lived for decades. Xue Na was an "invasion" act, but now Liaodong belongs to the original owner.

In order to protect this home, Li Huaixiu and Li Yanchong gave An Lushan great support.

But they didn't expect that An Lushan was so incompetent and defeated so thoroughly.

Not only did they become prisoners themselves, but the tens of thousands of soldiers they supported were unable to come back.

Now the Tang army counterattacks Youzhou and the troops are approaching Yanjing. With the current power of the Tang army, it will be Liaodong to take over Yanjing.

Li Huaixiu and Li Yanchong are very self-aware. With their current strength, they cannot fight against the Tang Dynasty and are ready to escape back to their real hometown.

But I am used to living in this luxurious house in Longcheng, so it is really uncomfortable to go back to the extreme north to live in the rough tent.

Li Yanchong suddenly asked, "Brother, do you think we lost or made a profit this time?"

Li Huaixiu cursed and said, "I went to my grandma's house. You and I have given a total of 30,000 troops to An Lushan's waste. In Liaodong and western Liaoning, there are only 100,000 people. How can one compare to our 30,000 warriors? In short, take away all the things you can take, and make up for it is a little bit."

"Report!"

As the two of them were calculating their gains and losses, one of them strode into the hall.

"Khan, a suspicious team was found near Bailang Mountain." Yelu Dazhen, who was the Yilijin, walked into the hall with great strides, and frowned as the drunken two people.

Yilijin was the official name of the Khitan. Before the establishment of the Liao regime, he was the military leader of various Khitan departments, which was the later king of the Southern Privy Council, and was abbreviated as the King of the Southern Court.

Li Huaixiu and Li Yanchong were shocked at the same time, and stood up and said, "The Tang army is coming? So fast?"

Yelu Dazhen shook his head and said, "It's a bit strange. They are not Tang army or Han people. From their figures, we can see that most of them are Turkic people. They just don't wear armor, wear the clothes of the people, act mysteriously, and carry extremely heavy luggage with them, secretly like being a thief."

Li Huaixiu and Li Yanchong looked at each other.

Li Huaixiu said: "People? In this situation, how can people have such a situation? Businessmen are impossible. No matter how greedy businessmen are, they will not be able to do business at this time? Could it be that? Do you think it would be An Qingxu?"

A hint of ecstasy flashed in Li Yanchong's eyes and said, "It is very likely that An Lushan built Xiongwu City near Fanyang. He stored all the money, grain and weapons he had reserved over the years for the purpose of rebellion. After An Qingxu ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to empty Xiongwu City and crouch in Yanjing. But you and I know that An Qingxu's prestige is far less than his father An Lushan. Moreover, the commander of the Tang army is a powerful figure. He does not give An Qingxu the opportunity to hold the throne and directly approach the city. Even if Yanjing is strong, An Qingxu will not last long in such a situation. If I were him, instead of following Yanjing to survive and die, it would be better to take the wealth accumulated by An Lushan over the years to spend the rest of his life."

Li Huaixiu couldn't help swallowing and said, "You said, how much wealth has An Lushan accumulated over the years?"

A hint of greed flashed in Li Yanchong's eyes and said, "God knows that he controls Liaodong Business Roads. How treasure is this Changbai Mountain? Who dares not to respect him? I heard that he also sent someone to form a caravan to collect ginseng and minks and transport it to Chang'an and Luoyang for sale."

There is almost no need to think extra, Li Huaixiu said: "Yilijin, you mobilize your troops immediately. An Lushan is my brother. In trouble, the brother's son is not going to help."

Li Yanchong grinned and said, "Brother is right. It's too unsafe for him to bring so much wealth. Let's keep it for him."

The two of them were drinking lazyly, but they became energetic in an instant and walked out of the hall to mobilize their troops.

White Wolf Mountain!

Guo Ziyi stood in front of a stone tablet that had been destroyed by the wind and frost, and smiled and said, "Do you know what kind of monument is this?"
