v7 Chapter 61： Eagle on the prairie

In the early autumn, the grasslands were yellow, and the flat and open field scenery was lonely. However, the war horses have been raised to a fat and strong body after a lush spring and summer. Jianyong on the grassland would choose to follow their chiefs to conduct large-scale safari in the mighty wilderness.

Of course, if the tribal leaders on the prairie want to start a war of territorial extension, it is also the best time of year. Mobei has never been a place of peace. Tribes of all sizes are always fighting.

When the year is not good, cattle and sheep are not fat enough in spring and summer to survive the long winter. The tribe will choose to wage war to plunder enough supplies to survive the severe cold.

When the year is good, the ambitious tribal chiefs will also choose to wage war, allowing the tribe's brave cavalry to expand their territory for themselves and get more cattle and sheep.

Such wars will not only occur between hostile tribes. Even a tribe with one name will be full of various mergers until a true lord appears, uniting large areas of grassland.

Only heroes can bring enough wealth to the tribe, and only heroes can bring true peace to the grasslands. The worship of heroes by the grassland tribes comes from the bottom of their hearts and penetrates the bone marrow.

If you want to be a hero, you must first become an invincible warrior. At this level, you can win the respect of the tribe. Once a warrior who advocates fighting and pioneering has wisdom, he may win the worship of everyone.

Undoubtedly, Yeluabaoji is such a hero.

This is true for the Khitan Babu, as well as the entire grassland.

Thousands and thousands of miles in the grasslands have left the horseshoe marks of his soldiers over the years. Tribes of all sizes have been unified and united under the same banner because of his existence. This big banner, which is now flying in every corner of the grassland, has three **** characters written on it: Khitan.

Unlike the heroes who previously conquered the Mobe steppe, Yeluabaoji was the first to establish a complete state system on the steppe. The Khitan Warrior became a well-deserved master of this prairie under his jurisdiction, and for the first time had the collective consciousness of loyalty to the king in addition to obeying the tribe and obeying the strong.

Xilou City is the center of the grassland ruled by Yeluabaoji.

Here, it has also become a sacred city in the eyes of prairie people.

Under a clear sky, a breeze, a cavalry full of prey screamed and returned. As soon as they were close to the camp, the warriors held up various prey and showed off their success to their companions who welcomed them.

The head of Yeluabaoji's black mink hat did not hang a prey immediately, but the guards behind him held the most prey in his hands.

When he got off the horse, Yeluabaoji shook his whip and approached a large white felt with a smile. Someone was waiting in front of the tent. The first person was a young woman in white and red, with red lips and white teeth and eyes like stars. There was no rudeness of the prairie woman, and the exquisite beauty was like the moon in the sky.

"In the moon, you are getting more and more beautiful. The bravest warrior on the prairie will see you and will willingly bow down in front of your skirt!" Ye Lua Baoji exaggeratedly gestured, attracting the beauty's coyness and blame .

Laughing, Yeluabaoji held the moon in his mouth and hugged him. Haha laughed and walked into the felt. The left and right maids saw each other and didn't follow them, but helped to lower the curtain.

On this grassland, everyone can praise the beauty of the moon, but only those who can enjoy her beauty and enjoy her beauty are only Yeluabaoji.

The brightest pearl on the grassland should be matched with the bravest hero. This is a rule that no one can break.

When Yeluabao returned to camp, the sun was still high in the sky, and when he and Yueduo walked out of the felt again, Xinghe had already illuminated the night sky.

The campfires piled up in the camp, and the warriors who came out to participate in safari grilled trophies in laughter, and the sounds of various fights were one after another.

In front of the biggest bonfire, there were the most people surrounded and the scene was the most lively, but the wide main seat was left out. Although the food placed in front was not dazzling, the Jiushan Roshan was not small.

The emergence of Yeluabaoji aroused cheers. He just waved his hands and motioned the warriors to continue their excitement, sitting in a spacious seat by themselves.

He picked up a golden golden leg of lamb, and opened his mouth to bite off a slender piece of meat, chewed it in his mouth, and bloomed in a pink moon, waiting for a gentle pouring of wine.

After eating a leg of lamb, Yelu Baobao also drank a bottle of wine. During the month, he carefully selected a piece of venison, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to him. His eyes were full of tenderness and looked at him. , But was pushed away by him.

In the puzzled and curious eyes of the month, Yelu Abaoji sighed suddenly and said: "Do you know that there is a flower in the month, Li Ying calmed down the Tang Dynasty, and now he is alone in the world of the Tang Dynasty. Forget it. Moreover, he also regained Hexi and completely defeated the Tubo ... Oh, that was a great victory in the foreign war in the Tang Dynasty! "

Seeing the sorrow of Yelu Abaoji, the moon blinked with **** and shiny eyes, wondering: "What does the Tang Dynasty have to do with us?

"We graze on the grasslands. They farm on the land. As long as we do n’t go south, are n’t they irrelevant? Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty has never taken the initiative to advance north, all because of fighting back against our invasion. . "

Yeluabaoji drank a large bowl of wine, wiped his mouth, and said, "War is inevitable."

When the moon was full of faces, Yelu Abaoji continued: "The grassland is barren. Basically, we can only harvest cattle and sheep. These are not enough for us to live, cloth, porcelain, tea, iron, etc. We also need it, but there are too few on the prairie.

"Even if it is cattle or sheep, it is not enough year after year. When times are not good, too many people die of freezing in winter, and many people will starve to death in the coming year. In order to prevent the people from starving to death, many tribes violently start a plunder war. Go and grab other tribes.

"If he wins, he will get enough food. If they are tied, they will consume a lot of people, which will save them a lot of food. The rest of the food may be enough.

"If they are defeated, their tribe will disappear. The tribe disappears in the disaster year, do you know what that means? Those people are not slaves, but are abandoned in the wilderness and starved to death!"

In the month, Duo opened her bright eyes.

Some of these words that Yeluabaoji said, she knew, some knew only one or the other, and some never heard of it. She has a distinguished status and can be regarded as a kind of person in the Jinyiyushi on the grassland. She does not know much about the lives of the herders and small tribes at the bottom.

This is the first time she has heard that a tribe has waged a war in order to consume the population of its tribe so that food can be eaten! Even if this is not the main purpose, as long as you have this intention, even if there is only a little bit, it will make people feel cold.

Yeluabaoji looked to the night sky in the south, and said with a heavy gaze: "When the grassland is not unified, once the disaster occurs, it is natural to bear losses internally, but when the grassland is unified, there is no hero who can tolerate his own herdsman to starve to death on a large scale. .

"What is not enough cattle and sheep? We are accustomed to war. In addition to grazing ourselves, we will only **** other people's cattle and sheep. So we will call on the herdsmen to step on their war horses, pick up their bows, and gather before the cold winter comes Send troops south to **** the wealthy Han Chinese and raise enough supplies and food for the winter. "

After hearing this, Yueduo nodded.

At this moment, she understood the root cause of the grassland cavalry's continuous south invasion.

Don't want to be starved to death, you can only choose to fight. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty is not particularly strong and there is a chance of victory, the predatory war to the south by the steppe tribe will not stop.

After all, the grasslands are still too barren.

Survival is a more fundamental and fundamental proposition.

However, another question raised in her mind, "But this year is a good year. There are abundant cattle and sheep on the grassland. It is not a problem to pass the winter. We have no need to start a war and fight with the Tang Dynasty, which is already a middle school."

Yelu Abaoji smiled bitterly and touched Yueli's hand and said, "However, Li Zhi knows that we will still use soldiers to the south, as long as this possibility still exists, he will not sit idly by. The hero on the grassland will not watch His own shepherd was starved to death, and the lord of the Central Plains would not ignore his people and be robbed and looted.

"So, when he has the ability to deal with us, he will definitely solve the scourge that will always come. No matter in which way, the earlier this time, the better, preferably before we start another plunder war. This way , His people will not suffer losses, and his taxes will not be reduced as a result. "

Speaking of which, Yeluabaoji drank another bowl of wine.

Yueli Duo thought for a while and said seriously: "But the Tang Dynasty has not used us for many years. They are defenses. Now there are heroes like you on the grassland, and the Khitan kingdom is unprecedentedly strong, far from being unified in name. In fact, the scenes of tribal politics are comparable. Does Li Zhi have the courage to fight with us? "

This question silenced Yelua Baoji for a moment.

But he was not thinking, he was caught in memories.

Without interrupting for a month, Duo silently watched him wait.

Finally, Yeluabaoji returned to God, smiled, and said, "Li Li is different. He will definitely use our soldiers. And he should already be impatient. He is a rare hero in the world and once told me In a word, how do you let others sleep on the side of the couch!

"The strength of the Khitan will put pressure on the Tang Dynasty. He will not sit idly by as the leading nation is strong, and every lord will not make the leading nation strong. Being strong means threatening, so there must be a big war between the north and the south, and even The decisive battle, like that of the 'Tian Khan' in the early Tang Dynasty, defeated Turks and proclaimed the rule of the steppe.

"Big heroes like Li Yan must hope to reproduce the glorious record of" Tian Khan ". People in the Tang Dynasty worshiped their ancestors, and their ancestral deeds were their life-long goals. However, if there is something brave and **** in their bodies, they will not achieve this goal in a day , It wo n’t slacken in a day. "

Yue Liduo finally understood that the war between the Khitan State and the Tang Dynasty is inevitable and is now in sight.

From the moment when the Tang Dynasty was calmed down in the country, it was announced that the North and South War had entered the preparation stage, and it was about to happen.

...

"A warrior on the prairie never waits for the enemy to enter the tent before thinking of picking up his bow and arrow. It was too late at that time, was it?"

In the month, her eyes stared at Yelu Abaoji. "Eagle on the grassland, you are already preparing for the war. Maybe you are ready, aren't you?"

Yelu Abaoji laughed loudly and laughed a lot. He carried the moon in his arms and grasped it a few times in the full place, and the laughter was even brighter.

"Do you know that the moon is blooming? People in the Tang Dynasty said that Li Xun recovered Hexi between the months and turned around and settled in Shushu, which is comparable to the glorious record of the Tang Dynasty! There are no Tang people now, so what dynasty must be Will ZTE such nonsense, they now say that this is a sign of the coming of the Tang Dynasty in the future!

"Now, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is sharpening their swords, and they ca n’t wait to raise their swords and rush their horses to open up their territories. The Tang generals at the border of Youzhou have now started to send scouts across the Great Wall to explore the depths of the grasslands! This is Datang again showing his fangs, sharp claws, and fierce eyes!

"They are going to be like wolves on the prairie, hunting for prey all over the world, and expanding their territory! You said that at this time, as the biggest shepherd on the prairie, I, Yelu Abaoji, can't we go to war? ready?"

Liduo was lying in the arms of Yelu Abaoji with her head resting on the other's broad and solid chest. The whole person was tender and tender, as if to melt into the other's body.

She gruntly said, "No matter how fierce the wolves are, when you meet a good hunter, you can only be shot by bows and arrows."

Yeluabaoji nodded again and again: "You're right. The best hunters know that the best time to shoot wolves is before they launch their offense-especially when they are not strong yet, kill them early. The best way to be a beast is to know it best. "

Having said that, Yeluabaoji picked up the already weak moon, and turned to walk into the white felt once again.

But just after he took a step, he stopped there, and put the moon in, and said to her, "Go to the tent and wait for me."

There was a gentle response in the month, and she ran away with a red face.

An old man in a black hood and white beard appeared beside Yeluabao.

"If the shepherd finds that the wolves are too strong, they will not fight alone, and it is the best choice to return to gather more shepherds with horses and bows to hunt." The old man deliberately lowered his voice, like a night owl. .

Yeluabaoji sat down again, waved his hands freely, motioned the old man to sit down and said, his mouth was indifferent: "Isn't the gods always claiming that they don't need helpers?"

The old man carefully selected a jug of wine, took a particularly clean silver cup, sat on the felt, slowly poured a small cup for himself, sniffed carefully in front of his nose, and then revealed a satisfied look, and wrote lightly: "Of course God doesn't need a helper, but you do."

Yeluabaoji stretched out his hand to the side, and a maid filled his wine bowl. "The Tang Dynasty has just been set in the country, so powerful?"

The old man drank, and after a while, he slowly remarked, "The Moon God is gone and the Shimen is down. Do you still think that the Tang Dynasty is not strong enough? Li Zhi is not an ordinary hero. No matter how much we value him, nothing is wrong. Yes. You have suffered two losses in his hands, and you still don't understand this? "

"Well, then who do we need to help?" Thinking of his only two defeats in his life, Yeluabaoji became interesting.

"Every country around the Tang Dynasty will be our helper. Sheng Tang once brought them too deep nightmares. No one hopes that the Tang Dynasty will reappear. That is a disaster for all of us. So everything is in the Tang Dynasty soldiers. Wherever there is a front, it will unite with us. "

The old man was shaking the wine glass, but his eyes were gleaming with bloodthirsty. "The Uighur in the west, Silla in the east, and even the Nanzhao in the south of the Tang Dynasty ..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly sneered, "People in these places should be shaking now. Especially the Hui people, the Ming people have found us."

"No one can really fight." Yelu Abaoji pouted his lips. "A bunch of native chickens."

The old man said lightly: "Compared to us, they are weaker, but as long as the Tang Dynasty is pinched by several faces, that is our opportunity. The Tang Dynasty's kingdom is too vast, and the mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal. Even cavalry, there is no way to do it. To quickly help everywhere. As long as these countries can hold back some Tang dynasty forces, we will win the battle. "

Yeluabaoji straightened up, stared at the old man for a long time, and suddenly said, "This time, it seems that it is not to prevent the Tang Dynasty army from entering the grassland, nor is it going south to plunder the population and wealth of the Tang Dynasty. You are thinking ... Extinguished the Tang Dynasty and completely occupied the Central Plains? "

The old man asked with a grin and asked, "Why not? The big heroes should have big minds. Isn't there an eagle on the grassland?"

Yeluabaoji lay back and said, "During the Jin Dynasty, the Huns, Xianbei, Xi, Xi, and Xi entered the Central Plains in succession, and the final result was not very good."

The old man scorned: "Some ants, can you compare with the gods? Although these five clans have entered the Central Plains in the past, their gods have not defeated Daomen Xianting. So after they entered the Central Plains, most of them finally became the Central Plains. People. We are different. Tianshen is about to defeat Daomen Xianting and seize their Taoism. This is the general trend! "

Yeluabaoji regained his spirit and sat up and said, "Can God defeat Daomen Xianting?"

The old man smiled very proudly: "Daomen Xianting is now in a civil war, and we are just taking advantage of the fishermen. Rest assured, the results will be announced soon."

Yeluabaoji lay back again, looking at the night sky, and said in a half-sound: "The immortal domain divided the victory and defeat, and the gods occupied the Taomen fairy court. My Khitan kingdom conquered the Tang Dynasty, wasn't it natural?"

The old man shouted, "That's the truth."

Yiluabaoji sighed, and seemed to be a little bit interested: "One day in Xianyu, one year in the world, shouldn't we wait a long time? My war preparations are ready, but now I want to let the warriors idle?"

"It's okay to be idle."

The old man drank the glass of wine in one sip, "Nourishing energy and saving energy, when it's time for you to enter the battlefield, don't be defeated by Li Xun. I said that Li Xun is not an ordinary character. Even if we occupied Daomen Xianting, he also Not necessarily a devastating blow, Hexi is an example. "

Yeluabaoji nodded, and regained his eyes, "I hope that day will come soon. I will let Li Zhi know that the previous two small defeats were just a joke. It is the real world that can win the decisive laugh. Lord! "
