Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 524: Ice and Snow Grassland (1)

On the open grassland, the sound of horseshoes was unusually clear.

The Khitan team, which was marching east, was immediately alarmed. At the moment, thousands of cavalry came out of the team and headed forward.

The sound of horseshoes ahead became clearer and louder, but the cavalry stepped forward to breathe a sigh of relief! Listening to the sound, there are only dozens of people in front, it is impossible to have much influence on the marching Qidan team!

The opponent was getting closer and closer to them, and the thousands of cavalry immediately greeted them.

"Who are you?" In the dark night, a voice came from the opposite side, which turned out to be the voice of a Khitan.

The thousands of cavalrymen were already preparing to bend their bows and shoot arrows. After hearing this sound, they immediately lowered their bows and arrows, but they still ran forward.

"Is Master Yelu Dashi here?" After a while, another voice came from the other side, but this time the Khitan cavalry had surrounded them.

"Who are you?" A response from the Qidan cavalry finally came.

"We want to see profuse sweat!" the voice on the other side said.

"Who on earth are you? If you still don't answer, we will start an attack!" someone among the Qidan cavalry shouted.

"It's me! Yeluyilie!" A clear voice came from the other side.

"What? Little prince?" The thousands of Khitan cavalry were taken aback!

Some of the Khitan cavalry fired a torch, and it turned out that there were also Khitan people on the opposite side. One of the young men was riding on a horse, his body was a little thin, who was not Yeluyilie?

"See the little prince!" Suddenly the Qidan cavalry stepped forward to hear the sound of seeing.

"Where is Father Khan? I want to see him immediately!" Yeluyi said.

"Da Khan is behind, now he must have got the news too, and he will come soon!" a Qidan general said.

Yeluyilie nodded, and immediately led his dozens of cavalry horses toward the back!

After about a quarter of an hour, he saw the middle-aged Khitan who was racing with the Khitan cavalry in the afternoon! After seeing this middle-aged Khitan, Yelu Yilie immediately got off his horse and knelt to the ground, saying, "My child, see Father Khan!"

It turns out that the middle-aged Khitan is the legendary Yelü Dashi in history! Ten years after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi led his tribe and soldiers to Central Asia. Now he is known as the "Khitan Khan". Yelu Yilie is the son of Yelu Dashi, so he is called the little prince by the Khitan people.

"Yilie, aren't you in Beijing? Why are you here?" Yelu Dashi got off the horse and helped Yelu Yilie up, surprised.

"Father Khan, this has only been two or three years, and you have grown a lot older!" Yelu Yilie looked at his father and said with emotion.

"Did something major happen to the capital?" Yelu Dashi asked hurriedly.

"I'm about to report my father Khan! The Han defeated the second prince of Jurchen Wanyan Zongwang last year, and Jurchen's 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Central Plains were wiped out by the Han! Two or three months ago, the Han people marched northward with soldiers from all over the country. Invincible, the Jurchens cannot match them at all! Now the Jurchen Taishi and Fourth Prince of Zhongjing have also been defeated by the Song army, and it is difficult for the 100,000 Jurchens of Zhongjing to escape! In addition, the Mongolian Hebrukhan suddenly protects. Si Khan led nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses to the south. In Fengzhou, they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Song troops, and now they have been completely wiped out by the Song Army! The Song Army is extremely powerful, and we are not opponents of the Song Army at all, so I left Shangjing. Come here to inform Father Khan that he will stop going south." Yeluyi said.

"What? Jurchen was so vulnerable to a single blow? Two hundred thousand Mongolian soldiers and horses were also wiped out by the Song army? Is the Song army so powerful now?" Yelu Dashi said in disbelief.

"The Song Army is very strong, very powerful! At that day, south of Fengzhou, we witnessed the battle with our own eyes! Under the siege of the Song Army, more than 100,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses were killed for a day. Annihilated! I stood outside that day, thinking in my heart, if I replace the Mongolian soldiers and horses with my Khitan soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it will be difficult for one day." Yeluyi said.

"It's impossible! We have been brave enough for the past ten years, and the trained soldiers are by no means comparable to the Mongols! The Mongols are not organized and disciplined, and we are learning from Jurchen, and we will rule the army with ten thousand chiefs and chiefs of thousands! Surrounded by the Song Army, you can also counter them!" Yelu Dashi shook his head.

"This... Father Khan is right, but Song Jun is really strong now, and we really can't go south." Yeluyi said.

"You all talk about the scene of the war that day." Yelu Dashi ignored Yeluyilie and looked at the cavalry behind Yeluyilie.

"Da Khan, what we saw that day, the cavalry of the Song Army was exceptionally sharp, and they were never under us! Standing outside, I only felt that the Song Army was amazing. Every soldier in the Song Army was desperately moving forward. There was no one. Retreat! The generals of the Song Army are also exceptionally powerful. No matter how they charge, the Mongols will not be able to rush out of their encirclement!" A middle-aged humane behind Yelu Yilie.

"Khan, every soldier of the Song Army is extremely powerful, and they feel very strong! They have a large number of horses, and their riding skills are also very good! I really don’t understand. They didn’t have it before. Cavalry, why did they train such a powerful cavalry in this short span of seven or eight years?" There was another humane behind Yeluyilie.

"If they are fighting head-on, can they beat us?" Yelu Dashi said.

"Fighting head-on, we may not be their opponents! Over the past few years, the Song army has fought east and west wars, all the way from Guanshan to Xixia, from Xixia to the Central Plains, and from the Central Plains to the northern grasslands. They have experienced many battles. Every soldier has experienced hundreds of battles, and although we lie down, the soldiers have experienced very few battles. We fought against the Han soldiers with hundreds of battles, winning less and losing more." Yeluyi said.

Yelu Dashi stood there with frown, unbelievable and compelled to believe in his heart.

He knows that his son Yeluyilie, although on the surface is weak, he does things very seriously and observes carefully. Yeluyilie will never talk nonsense! Moreover, those who followed Yelu Yilie back to the homeland of the Liao Kingdom were all elites under Yelu Dashi, and these people couldn't talk nonsense.

"Khan, we can't go south! The Han people are really too strong, much stronger than the original Jurchens! The Jurchens have a limited population. Although they have amazing combat power, they can hardly form a large army, while the Hans are extremely populous. There is so much wealth in the country. They can mobilize hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops with ease this time when they go northward! We can defeat Jurchen, but it is too difficult to defeat the Han people." Yeluyilie was a human being behind him. .

"When my Daliao was destroyed by Jurchen in the day, the Han people were still vulnerable. The Song army was extremely weak, whether it was a Western army or a forbidden army! Jurchen went south, and in only one year, the Han people lost half of the country and two of the Han people. An emperor was also captured by the Jurchen! At that time, Emperor Xuanwu of the Han was only ten years old, and it was not enough to command the world. There was also Zhao Gou in Jiangnan as the Emperor Jianyan! This was only eight years, how could the Han people become like this How strong?" Yelu Dashi shook his head.

"Father Khan, I was going south for the first time that day. I was going to cooperate with Emperor Xuanwu to destroy gold together. At that time, I felt that the Song Army was very different from what you said! It was when the Song Army went north to destroy Xixia, and Xixia was also considered to be It was a powerful country in the northwest for more than a hundred years, but the Song army went north. In less than half a year, Xixia lost all the territory in the south, and the emperor of Xixia had to send his son out as a hostage! I am writing to you, but you don’t think so. It wasn't until the Song Dynasty occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun that you decided to cooperate with Jurchen! Now that the Han people have become the climate, we can't take advantage of going south!" Yeluyi said.

"But we must go south!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Why is this?" Yeluyilie said in disbelief.

"Go, get on the horse first, I'll tell you a lot." Yelu Dashi said.

The Khitan team was still marching towards the east. In the night, the cold wind roared, and the torches were blown out by the gale. Fortunately, there were stars in the sky, so I could barely see the front.

"We started going south in autumn, and we took all the soldiers, people, cattle and sheep across thousands of miles to the south, and the loss was great along the way! Now it is winter, if we go north again, the weather is so cold, we may not be able to return to the original place. Locally, I don’t know how many people are going to die in this severe winter! You said, can we go north?" Yelu Dashi said.

"But Song Jun is really too strong!" Yeluyi said.

"Even if the Song Army is stronger, this north is still the homeland of our Khitan people, and there are still millions of ethnic people here! As long as millions of ethnic people are united, we can still drive away the Han people!" Yelu Dashi said.

"This..." Yeluyi was taken aback.

"You can talk about the current situation in the world! What is the situation in Liaodong? Haven't the Han people still occupied Liaodong? There should be a lot of elite soldiers in Wanyan Zonghan's hands, right?" Yelu Dashi said.

"In Liaodong, it is difficult for our people to survive. Since this summer, countless people have risen to rebel! Originally, I followed your order and told them not to fight against the Jurchens. When you go south, we will fight the Jurchens. Let's talk about the cooperation to retake Yanyun! The tribe originally obeyed my orders, but in July, Emperor Xuanwu sent a man to the north to encourage the tribe to rebel! The tribe only listened to that person and no longer listened to my orders." Yi Lie said.

"Oh? Who can inspire our clan to rebel?" Yelu Dashi said in surprise.

"That man is Yeluhong, Yeluchun's eldest son!" Yeluyilie smiled bitterly.

Although Yelv Dashi called itself the "Khitan Khan" in Central Asia, the Khitan Khan was not recognized by the Khitan people in the homeland of Liao. Many people don’t know how much Yelv Dashi has created in Central Asia. The so-called "Khitan Khan" is always heard as a joke! On the contrary, Yeluhong was the son of Yeluchun, the former emperor of Northern Liao Dynasty! Yeluchun turned the tide at the end of the Liao Dynasty, and was extremely prestigious among the Khitan people, and Yeluhong was also regarded as the prince by the Khitan people! Therefore, in Liaodong, Yelv Dashi's subordinates could not compete with Yelvhong.

"He is still alive?" Yelu Dashi was surprised again.

"Yes, he is indeed still alive, and he was recruited by the Han people! The Han people are very cunning. They first sold a stone man in a deep pit, and then they were dug out. The stone man was engraved with'Mo Dao Stone Man Eyes, when this thing came out of the world, the stone man looked exactly the same as Yeluhong! After this incident spread to Liaodong, the world shook immediately, and the tribe regarded the rebellion as the will of heaven. There were rebels everywhere in Liaodong. All the rebels are responding to Yeluhong! Originally the Song army went north and the Liaodong Jurchen could help Zhongjing, but now they are stuck in mud and can't make it through!" Yeluyi said.

"The Han people are so powerful! Admire it!" Yelu Dashi was silent for a while before he had to nod his head.

"Father Khan, there is nowhere for us to stand in the north!" Yeluyi said.

"Let's go to Liaodong and take over the rebels!" Yelu Dashi asked for a long time, and thought for a long time before he said.
