(Thanks to Phoenix Tea for its two monthly tickets, thank you!)

To the north of Yanshan Mountain, on the grassland on the Tuhuzhen River, there are endless tents, with tens of thousands of large and small at most... This is the big tent of the Khitan tribes, also known as the Diela tribe Yilijin Yelu Yundeshi. In the middle of all the tents, there is a huge dome tent. Next to the big tent, there is a large silver wolf flag hanging on a high flagpole. This is the tribal flag of the Diela tribe. This big tent is not only the big tent of the Diela tribe Yilijin, but also the big tent of the entire twenty Khitan alliance Yilijin Yundeshi.

The Khitan was originally eight tribes, with tribes and clans in the tribes. Although the Khitan used the Yaonian clan as the Khitan Khan, in fact, the Khitan Khans did not have any real power. The rights of the Khitan tribes were still in the hands of Yi Lijin, the leader of each tribe. Above the twenty tribes and under the Khitan Khan, there was also the position of Yi Lijin, who held the tribe's military power.

The eight divisions of the Yaonian clan, Danli, Yishili, real and live, the tail, the frequent and lacking division, the Jiji division, the Jijie division, and the Xiwen division. However, to now, it has been divided into twenty divisions.

There are seven divisions of Yelu, five divisions of Secretariat, and eight divisions of the remaining divisions.

Nirli blocked Wu Khan, divided into three Yelu into seven, two Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the State, and the first eight divisions are twenty divisions. Three Yelu: one is Dahe, two is Yaonian, and three is Shili, which is the royal family. The second Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Sessions of the Session

Dahe, Yaonian and the world are called Sanyelu, and are divided into seven divisions. The Dahe and Yaonian are divided into six parts, combining the Shili family into one, called Diela tribe.

It turned out that the strongest tribe in the Khitan was the Dahe clan. The Dahe clan alliance was finally replaced by the Yaonian clan. Now it is the Yaonian clan alliance, and the Yaonian clan is the Khan. The two strongest tribes of the Dahe clan and the Yaonian clan were divided into three, and the originally not strong tribes of the Shili tribes merged into one tribe. As a result, the Diela tribes, which were integrated into the Shili tribes, have become the strongest tribe.

The Yaonian clan inherited the position of Khitan Khan, and the Dieshu tribe controlled the position of Khitan Yilijin for generations.

Yelu Yundeshi is over 60 years old this year, tall and extremely strong. He has two brothers and one brother, and his father is also Yilijin. In addition to one of his elder brothers who died early, the second brother Yelutela was a veritable and powerful figure in the Dila tribe, and he once served as Yilijin for nine times.

The Khitans had to choose the position of Yilijin, each term for three years. Since Yelu Yunde was appointed as Yilijin, the Khitans took advantage of the opportunity that the Uighurs destroyed the country, and the Tang Dynasty, Bohai, and Silla were all weak, and began to actively expand.

At present, the Diela tribe gathered all the Shili tribes, which were unprecedentedly large in scale. In particular, Yundeshi controlled the military power of the Khitan. They had gained the most benefits in previous foreign wars and stole countless people.

Especially after the invasion of western Liaoning in recent years, there were already many people from the Central Plains and Goguryeo people who were stolen from the tribe. Most of these people were farmers, and they were not good at herding cattle and raising sheep, but they were good at farming.

In response to this situation, Yundeshi began an important reform, which was to change the nomadic habit of living by pursuing water and grass in the past, turn to learn from the Goguryeo and the Bohai people, develop towards semi-grassing and semi-cultivation, reclaim wasteland, and settle down to develop.

Not everyone agreed with this reform. Many Khitan nobles, even the Diela tribe themselves, were suspected. However, Yundeshi led the tribe to lead the leadership to change. Over the years, other people who were waiting to see jokes regretted it. Yundeshi's tribe became the richest tribe in the Khitan.

I didn't see the joke, but I saw it only that the guy who was not as good as me in the past has passed by much more than me in a blink of an eye. Many people are jealous and even secretly scolding her.

What made those people even more envious is that the news just came back, and the third son of Yundeshi, Yelu Sala, came back from Liaodong. This guy had previously asked other tribes to enter Liaodong and attack the Goguryeo with the Lianla tribe. As a result, no one was willing to go. Liaoxi had just taken it down and had not gained a foothold. Many people thought it was not a good idea to fight Liaodong at this time and fight with the Goguryeo people.

Many people even made an appointment in secret, not going one by one, just waiting for them to suffer a big loss under the strong mountain city of the Goguryeo.

But who would have thought that after Sala crossed the Liao River, it was progressing smoothly. He heard that almost all Jilizhou had been captured, leaving only one Jilishan city still standing. They gained a huge harvest, and the population alone captured more than 50,000 people, and also had a lot of money, food, livestock, weapons and armor.

Those who are envious and jealous have even redder eyes, and they are even so jealous that they cannot eat or sleep.

In the Yilijin tent of Yundeshi, Yelu Sala's positive response to Yundeshi's gains from this trip.

"The population of more than 50,000, more than 10,000 war horses, thousands of armor and weapons, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. The harvest this time was beyond imagination. The third brother, I did a good job." Yundeshi's red face was full of excitement. Yundeshi didn't care much about how many Goguryeo cities he won. He was happy about the population, livestock and weapons and armor. The farming and settlement of the Diela tribe is developing rapidly, but there are still a lack of farming slaves. The warriors of Diela are good at grazing in wars, but they are not good at farming. In this regard, the Han people have to do the most suitable. More than 50,000 people can be reclaimed this winter and harvest more food next year.

Yundeshi's second son Yelu Shilu did not go out to war this time, but followed Yundeshi to help manage the tribe. Seeing the third brother's gains, he couldn't help but sigh. "Even if the next Jili City is next, why don't you beat him down and come back?"

Sala's face was a little stiff and he said embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to take down Jili City and come back, but if the situation changes, I will come back first."

Yundeshi looked at his son's expression and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "The reinforcements from the Goguryeo are here, are they still Bohai sending troops to intervene?"

Shi Lu chuckled and said, "The Bohai Dashi is too busy to take care of herself now, so she has no time to control Liaodong. It must be the Goguryeo people who came to help, but even if the Goguryeo people sent troops, the third brother would not be so afraid."

Sala's face turned red and he said with his neck, "Of course I am not afraid of Goguryeo reinforcements. In fact, the Goguryeo people reinforced Jili City twice, but I defeated both times."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of, it's that I received the news that Li Jing from southern Liaoning is mobilizing troops and preparing to go north to Liaodong. According to detailed information, Li Jing is now the commander of the four towns, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. There are more than 100 troops and more than 400,000 troops in the town [***] alone. In addition, he has the Pinglu army, Lulong army, and Datong army." Sala explained, "Then Li Jing has not yet defeated the battle. Previously, Lulong, Youzhou, had 100,000 troops, but Li Jing only brought 20,000 people to defeat them. The Beishatu tribe, called the strong army, was defeated by him. Not long ago, Li Jing entered Chang'an from Daibei, and returned to Dengzhou after meeting the emperor. Along the way, he wiped out the millions of rebels of Wang Xianzhicao army, who rebelled in the Central Plains. This person is really a bit terrible, and he is completely an An Lushan."

In the eyes of the Tang people, An Lushan was just a rebel barbarian, but in the eyes of the Khitan people, An Lushan was a nightmare existence. When An Lushan was guarding Fan Yang, he often deliberately sent troops to attack Khitan and Xi, creating border chaos, and provoking wars. Every time the Khitans were forced to fight back, they would be hit mercilessly by An Lushan. This was the case every time. If An Lushan did not rebel against the Tang people, their Khitans would not have any chance to rise.

In Sala's view, Li Jing is another An Lushan. An Lushan has the seal of the three towns, while Li Jing has the seal of the four towns, and has more soldiers and more courage. He recovered southern Liao last year, but if he doesn't do it well this year, he will recover Liaozhong, and then next year it will be northern Liao, western Liao, and then the Khitan grassland will be the one.

"Li Jing really wants to rush his troops north?" Yun Deshi asked with a frown.

"Last year after Li Jing recovered southern Liaoning, he wanted to go north. But at that time, we started a war with the Goguryeo people, so Li Jing retreated. At that time, Li Jing had no name yet. Who would have thought that Li Jing was already in such a big trend after just one year." Sara was under Jili City, and the horses were constantly reporting that the town [***] was mobilizing pre-warly, and countless grains were transported to the front line of southern Liaoning. Every day, the sea between Dengzhou and southern Liaoning was covered with white sails. The transport ships from several major ports in Duli Town were even more covered. On the mountain road from southern Liaoning to near Jili City, countless auxiliary soldiers were pushing wheelbarrows to transport grain every day. Weiba and other front line mountain cities, and the Tang army also drove new troops to arrive every day.

In this case, how dare Sala fight to continue and leave Jili City. Then they are separated from the Goguryeo people from Zhen. If they take Jili City, they will face the Zhen army directly. So after thinking for a long time, he immediately stopped when he saw the opportunity. Not only did he leave with his men, but also made the Lianla tribe abandon several captured mountain cities and retreat three hundred miles.

"It seems that Li Jing is very cunning. He was not powerless to attack last year, nor was he afraid of us. He wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and deliberately retreated, so that we and the Goguryeo people can start fighting with peace of mind. Now we are about to end the battle, and before we can get enough time to occupy Jilizhou, Li Jing came. This was all planned, and we underestimated this person before. It's better to retreat, don't conflict with him for the time being. Let the Goguryeo people fight with him, and let's watch a show too." Shi Lu said with a smile.

Yun Deshi nodded, "The Lianla tribe has made great efforts this time, so let him get more. Let them pay attention, be careful, and never take the initiative to provoke war. In addition, the troops in western Liaoning should also send orders to let them restrain themselves recently and not take the initiative to rub against Lu Long's army. I always feel that Li Jing's plan this time is very big, and he will not be satisfied with only a small Jilizhou."

Shi Lu smiled relaxedly and said, "Don't worry, as long as we retreat, the Goguryeo people would not let Li Jing easily take Liaodong. When the Tang army seized Liaodong from the Goguryeo people, it took several emperors decades and millions of soldiers. The Goguryeo people were not good, and it would be fine to last for three or five years. If they really couldn't hold on, we could discuss with the Bohai Kingdom to curb the Tang army from the north together. I believe that Da Xuanxi did not want the Tang army to occupy Liaodong."

The eldest son Yelu Yanmu asked Sala with a smile: "I heard that the wife of Princess Bohai, Gao Zhaokang, the son of Gaodexin, Jili City, had long been kidnapped by Li Jing, and had a son for Li Jing?"

Sala was a little surprised. He vaguely heard Tanma mention this matter, but he was not very clear. "It was heard, but it was not very clear about the specific one."

"You said, what would happen if Bohai King Da Xuanxi knew that his daughter was snatched away by Li Jing like this?" Yelu Yanmu said inadvertently while cutting the roasted lamb legs with a knife.

Yundeshi's eyes lit up, "Yes, let's leave this matter to the boss. You can arrange someone to go to Longquan Mansion, Shangjing, Bohai." After saying that, he put down the knife in his hand, wiped his mouth and hands with a cloth, and turned to Sala, "Third brother, you have worked hard all the way, go back early later. This kid Abaoji has been clamoring to miss you! I plan to go hunting tomorrow. Who of you has time to accompany me?"

Yanmu shook his head, "I have to arrange the staff to go to Bohai."

"I have to arrange the spoils tomorrow, I don't have time." Shi Lu said.

Sara also said he had no time to go and just came back and wanted to rest at home to accompany his three sons, especially the three youngest son Yelu Abaoji who was only four years old.

"Well, I'll just find a few old guys to accompany you tomorrow."

As soon as the next day was dawn, Yelu Yundeshi took a team of guards to hunt with horses. The autumn was clear and cool, and it was a good time to hunt on the grassland.

Jelu Sala had been intimate with his wife for a long time last night, and he had not yet got up until very late. If his youngest son Abaoji had not entered the tent and shouted, he would have wanted to sleep more. He could not resist his son's screams, Sala got up and put on his clothes. He had just washed his face and suddenly saw a horse from afar running straight towards him.

The knight on the horse was completely lying on the horse. When the horse arrived in front of the tent, the knight could no longer support him and fell into a coma.

Sala recognized the knight at a glance as Alu, the old guard who went hunting with his father in the morning. However, Alu was covered in blood and had several feather arrows inserted on his back. He was seriously injured. He helped Alu up and asked Abaoji to call the shaman. After a long time, he finally woke up Alu.

As soon as he woke up, Alu immediately said weakly: "Yelu Yande, a wolf cub, threw a bowl after eating the meat. While he was hunting, he suddenly attacked Yi Lijin and poisoned Yi Lijin with poison arrows. We brothers and others tried our best to protect Yi Lijin, but failed to protect Yi Lijin."

"What?" Sara felt like a bolt from the blue hitting his head, and he was stunned.

Yelu Yande is the son-in-law of the eighth Khan of the Khitan, Bala Khan, and is also the Diela tribe. In Yundeshi's reform, Yande said the most sarcastic words and was the only leader of the Diela noble who refused to let his tribes farm until now.

"Go away, Yelu Yande gathered several tribes. He threatened to destroy your tribe. Go away quickly, it would be too late." Alu said anxiously.

Sala hurriedly ran to find his brothers Yelu Yanmu and Yelu Shilu. As soon as the three brothers met, they summoned more than a thousand tribal warriors. Someone had already reported the ruthlessness and came with thousands of cavalry. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three brothers had to flee to Tulubu's tribe to hide. In a hurry, Sala did not even notice that his youngest son Abaoji had disappeared.

Yelu Yande led his troops to surround Yundeshi's camp, but found that Yelu Shilu's three brothers had escaped and even took their families away. In the end, they only found Yundeshi's wife who had not yet arrived and a fat little man with a dirty face.

Although Yelu Fengde killed Yundeshi and Yangyang wanted to kill all the males of Yundeshi, he did not make any embarrassment with the female family and his tribes as usual. After searching for him several times but not finding anyone, he kidnapped many cattle, sheep, horses, and slaves, and then left.

When these people left, Yundeshi's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief and tears remained.

In such a battle for power, although with the strength of the Yundeshi family, he dare not blame his wife and daughter, he would not show mercy to a male student like A Baoji. Once discovered, A Baoji could not escape death.

A Baoji, who is only over four years old, has a different majestic physique of ordinary people. It is said that his mother was dreaming of the sun and was pregnant with him. After birth, she was already as old as a three-year-old child. She has long been taller than the wheels and four feet tall. She is as tall as the horse on the grassland. She is not fat but very strong. When she changes this, she is not panicked at all. She did not show any panic when she was searching and checking under the ruthless man. Now that those people have left, he already understands that his grandfather who loves him is assassinated, and his father and uncle have escaped, but she does not shed a single tear. Instead, she comforts her grandmother in a low voice.
