Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 694: The Huns are still alive
"St. Petersburg... Speaking of which, I've never been to the Western Continent."
Xiao Siwen and a few Khitan cavalrymen were on their way to Longcheng in Monan, and rested at the foot of a mountain on the way.
What surprised him was that Chutian could often travel between the eastern continent and the western continent, and Chutian's influence seemed to have reached the western continent.
However, Xiao Siwen didn't care too much about what Chutian was doing in St. Petersburg. He wanted to see his daughter Xiao Chuo and ensure Xiao Chuo's safety.
"Sir, this year's blizzard on the grasslands is really severe. Many of our tribe's livestock were frozen to death by the blizzard. I hope that after relying on King Xia, if we encounter such blizzards in the future, we can get relief anyway."
A Khitan cavalryman was in charge of the fire and complained about the dreadful blizzard.
The resistance of nomadic tribes to natural disasters is so weak that a snowstorm can cause incalculable losses to nomadic tribes, and even survival is difficult.
"If you want to get relief, you have to pay a certain price..."
Xiao Siwen shook his head. As a minister, he knew that in politics, equivalent exchanges were common.
If the Khitan tribe wanted to rely on the Xia King of the Han Empire, they had to pay a corresponding price, which might be corvée.
"My lord, there is a cavalry approaching fast!"
Khitan cavalry patrolling the perimeter spotted a cavalry approaching them.
Xiao Siwen got up immediately: "Could it be King Xia's cavalry that came to protect us to Monan Dragon City?"
Xiao Siwen only thought of this possibility at present, so he rode a war horse and led a few Khitan cavalry, preparing to join the cavalry of the Xia King who came to meet him.
On the horizon of the grassland, a black line appeared, and the horses galloped towards Xiao Siwen and others.
"The number of this cavalry is too large, no, they are not the cavalry sent by King Xia to meet us!"
Xiao Siwen saw that the number of this cavalry was estimated to be as many as a thousand.
If Chutian specially sent someone to receive him, it would be impossible to mobilize the army like this, otherwise the Khitan tribe would probably misunderstand that Chutian wanted to destroy the Khitan tribe.
Chutian would only send a hundred cavalry at most.
In other words, the cavalry in front of me is most likely not the cavalry of Chutian, but the cavalry of other forces!
…
"What? Xiao Siwen didn't come to Monan Dragon City at the agreed time?"
Lu Su was used by Chutian as a foreign minister. He specially came to Monan Longcheng to meet Xiao Siwen, but Xiao Siwen did not come to Monan Longcheng at the agreed time.
Liu Hu, the lord of Monan, said: "Is it possible that the Khitan people regretted temporarily and did not want to join us? After all, we had a holiday with them. They were killed by the Xia King in the battle of Mobei. Many Khitan cavalry." /
Lu Su shook his head: "The Khitan people shouldn't be so ignorant, their power is already insignificant, how can they have a special idea to play with us? If they deliberately provoke, the lord will be furious, and the Khitan tribe will be wiped out. disaster.”
Lu Su did not believe that the Khitans would go back on their word and provoke them.
The Khitan tribe has suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Liaodong army. They are determined not to provoke the Chutian forces again, otherwise the consequences can be imagined.
"You sent a small team of cavalry to the Khitan tribe to ask Xiao Siwen again and ask him why he didn't arrive on time."
"Yes."
"Wait a minute, I will go to the Khitan tribe in person. If I meet Xiao Siwen on the way, I will pick him up by the way."
Liu Hu soon dispatched a cavalry squad of thirty.
Lu Su noticed unusual information from this incident.
It must be unusual for someone of his rank to be disturbed.
Therefore, Lu Su personally went to the Khitan tribe to negotiate with the Khitan tribe.
If the Khitan tribe regrets it, Lu Su believes that his eloquence and sincerity will make the Khitan people change their minds.
The Khitan tribe, Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xiezhen and others who stayed behind the tribe and guarded the Khitan people received Lu Su from Longcheng in Monan with a relatively humble attitude. After all, they had decided to rely on the Xia King of the Han Empire. Then they would have to accept the ruling system of the Chutian forces. Lu Su had followed Chutian for several years, and his status was not low.
"Xiao Siwen has already led the cavalry team to go to Monan Longcheng for negotiation. How could he not be in Monan Longcheng at this time? Could it be that you don't want to accept us and are trying to deceive us?"
Yelu Xiezhen couldn't help but doubt the intentions of the Chutian forces.
Xiao Siwen left the Khitan tribe under the farewell of Yelu Xiu Ge and Yelu Xiezhen, and calculated the itinerary. If there was no accident in the middle, he would have already arrived at Monan Longcheng at this time, but Lu Su claimed that he had not seen him. to Xiao Siwen.
The current Khitan tribes are still wary of the Chutian forces. Therefore, Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xiezhen have reason to suspect that the Chutian forces forcibly detained Xiao Siwen, claiming that they did not see Xiao Siwen, and then found an excuse to attack the remnants of the Khitan tribe. , completely annexed the Khitan tribe.
Fortunately, this time the Khitan tribe was not an ordinary person, but Lu Su, who was good at diplomacy.
Combining the words of the Khitan generals, he soon discovered the problem: "Please don't doubt our Xia King's determination to accept you, and I don't have to doubt your sincerity and rhetoric. If all of us are right , then the process in the middle must have gone wrong."
Brother Yeluxiu is also a smart person, and he quickly realized: "You mean, Xiao Siwen had an accident in the middle?"
Lu Su and Brother Yelu Xiu looked at each other and knew that Brother Yelu Xiu was an excellent cavalry general: "Can the Khitan tribe be enmity with the surrounding forces recently?"
Brother Yelu Xiu thought for a while: "After the death of King Liao, we will no longer cause trouble, and the surrounding tribes should not attack Xiao Siwen's team. But..."
Brother Yelu Xiu and Yelu glanced at each other inadvertently, and they quickly realized the problem: "After Xiao Siwen left, Wanyan Aguda sent someone to win over our tribe, but was rejected by our tribe. Maybe they will attack Xiao Siwen's cavalry in revenge."
Lu Su listened to Yelu Xiu Ge and Yelu Xiezhen's words, and thought about it, the situation was very obvious: "Maybe Wanyan A Guda wanted to use such a clumsy method to provoke a fight between us, if it wasn't for me If you come to your tribe to find out, you may have fallen into the trap of Wanyan Agu. The most urgent task is to find Xiao Siwen, or the place where he disappeared."
"If Wanyan Aguda really acted like this, he must pay the price!"
After listening to Lu Su's speculation, Yelu Xiezhen was even more dissatisfied with Wanyan A Guda.
The generals of the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom both looked at each other as uncomfortable.
After Lu Su made a guess, Yelu Xiezhen personally led a team of Khitan cavalry and went with Lu Su to track down the disappearance of Xiao Siwen.
As for Brother Yelu Xiu, he stayed in the Khitan tribe.
…
In the place where Xiao Siwen disappeared, several Khitan cavalrymen who followed Xiao Siwen died in battle. They were full of arrows, apparently shot by cavalry who were good at cavalry and archery.
With the help of the wild wolf, Yelu Xiezhen's cavalry easily found the missing Xiao Siwen team.
When they found a few Khitan cavalry that Xiao Siwen had taken away, these Khitan cavalry had lost their breath.
"Without Xiao Siwen, he would most likely be captured."
Yelu Xiezhen counted all the dead Khitan cavalry on the battlefield, and found no trace of Xiao Siwen. It was a fortune among misfortunes.
Lu Su carefully examined the wounds on the dead Khitan cavalry, trying to find clues: "The cavalry who attacked Xiao Siwen didn't even loot their property, not to steal money."
"That must be the one who Wanyan Agu beat!"
Yelu Xiezhen, who came with Lu Su, was not a reckless man. He heard Lu Su's analysis and the scene of the Khitan cavalry killed in action, and turned his suspicion into Wanyan Aguda.
Not long ago, the Khitan tribe rejected Wanyan Aguda's solicitation. Wanyan Aguda's envoy must have held a grudge and specifically ambush Xiao Siwen to take revenge.
"It doesn't have to be Wanyan Aguda's cavalry. There are many Xianbei tribes on the Monan grassland."
Lu Su considered the issue more comprehensively. Based on the facts, he did not easily put the charge on Wanyan Aguda's head.
Yelu Xiezhen felt that the Khitan tribe he represented was being played with: "No matter which tribe it is, the cavalry that attacked our Khitan must pay a corresponding price!"
…
In St. Petersburg, Chutian received the latest information from Lu Su. Xiao Siwen, who was going to negotiate with Chutian, disappeared in the Monan grassland.
"Your father, seems to have an accident."
Chu Tian told Xiao Chuo about the situation.
Xiao Siwen's disappearance made the Khitan tribe who originally planned to join Chutian forces hesitate, and even doubted whether Xiao Siwen was detained by Chutian, casting a shadow over the negotiation.
"There's no way he's going to get away, and nine times out of ten he's taken prisoner by someone with ulterior motives. If that's the case, maybe it's a good thing for him, because it means he won't be killed. ."
Xiao Chuo remained calm, terribly calm, thinking that not only was Xiao Siwen not killed, but he was still alive and well.
"I have arranged for Liu Hu, Lu Su and others to work with the Khitan tribe to find Xiao Siwen's whereabouts. Once Xiao Siwen is found, they will notify you and me as soon as possible."
Chutian calmed down Xiao Chuo's mood a little. Although the negotiation with the Khitan tribe had some twists and turns, as long as the Khitan tribe did not join forces with other nomadic tribes, it would be a disaster in the future.
"Thank you, Lord, for taking care of the Khitan tribe."
Xiao Chuo's loyalty to Chutian increased this time.
In this incident, Chutian's attitude towards the Khitan tribe was friendly enough to win Xiao Chuo's favor.
"Who robbed Xiao Siwen?"
Chutian is also considering potential enemies.
Someone kidnapped Xiao Siwen in the middle of the journey and disrupted the negotiations between Chutian and the Khitan tribe. They must be unwilling to allow the Chutian forces to annex the Khitan tribe. Or, another force wanted to annex the Khitan tribe.
…
In the Khitan tribe, Yelu Xiezhen took away the cavalry to track down Xiao Siwen's whereabouts, and Yelu Xiuge sat in the Khitan tribe.
"Strengthen your alert."
Brother Yelu Xiu noticed something unusual, and sent Khitan cavalry to patrol around the tribe to prevent enemies from taking the opportunity to attack the Khitan tribe.
A few days after Xiao Siwen disappeared, the Khitan tribe was attacked by cavalry!
The first to be attacked were the waiting cavalry deployed by the Khitan tribe on the periphery.
"Enemy attack!"
The Khitan tribe, which originally thought it was calm, was suddenly attacked and immediately plunged into a sea of fire.
The tents of the Khitan tribe were burned with rockets by the prepared enemy, and the camp was full of smoke and fire. The enemy's arrow rain covered the sky, and shot the Khitan scouts located on the periphery!
"Sure enough, someone secretly attacked Xiao Siwen's cavalry unit. Damn, the people of the Khitan tribe, follow me to fight!"
Yelu Xiuge led the Khitan cavalry to attack the incoming enemy.
Two cavalry troops engage in battle on the outskirts of a Khitan tribal camp.
The rain of arrows fell like locusts. The cavalry on both sides drew their sabres and charged at each other. The horses galloped, and the swords and carbine collided!
Although Yelu Xiu Ge's cavalry is very good at fighting, and is a surviving Khitan veteran, with considerable combat effectiveness, but in front of the unknown enemy who is far more numerous than himself, it is still at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Brother Yeluxiu discovered that this unknown cavalry was no less powerful than the cavalry he commanded. Among them, the elite cavalry and sharpshooters in this unknown cavalry have even higher combat effectiveness than the cavalry commanded by Yelu Xiuge himself!
"Could it be that this is the cavalry that Wanyan Aguda personally commanded?"
Brother Yelvxiu speculated that if it was Wanyan Agu's attack on the Khitan tribe, then it must have been the cavalry under the command of Wanyan Agu himself, and it was possible to show a higher bonus to the cavalry troops than his brother Yelvxiu.
Few of the other generals of the Jin Kingdom can surpass Brother Yelu Xiu. After all, Brother Yelu Xiu is a first-class cavalry hero of the Khitan tribe. A general Jurchen general is not an opponent of Brother Yeluxiu. Even excellent Jurchen generals are mostly It's just an equal share with Brother Yeluxiu.
"No, Wanyan Aguda should be fighting with the Liaodong army at this time, and it is impossible to go deep into Monan to attack our Khitan tribe. Besides, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom have only arrived at the Khitan tribe for a few days, so Wanyan Aguda is impossible. In just a few days, I personally came to the Khitan tribe and launched an attack. Could it be possible that other nomadic tribes attacked us?"
Brother Yeluxiu thought of this possibility, and this possibility is not small, his face could not help but change.
If it is really other nomadic tribes, the consequences may be extremely tragic. The Khitan tribes may be wiped out in this battle and will be removed from the list.
"After I was in charge of the break, you led the tribe to retreat in the direction of Monan Longcheng, and informed them that an unknown cavalry attacked our tribe!"
Brother Yelu Xiu witnessed a huge number of enemies attacking, at least tens of thousands of cavalry. Knowing that the Khitan tribe was in crisis again, he asked several other Khitan generals to lead the tribesmen to migrate to the west of Monan Longcheng.
The Khitan tribe has declined many times, and if it is hit hard again, it may disappear.
Brother Yeluxiu must consider protecting the tribesmen when he is not sure of defeating the opponent. The tribe cannot be destroyed in his hands.
"Break the Khitan tribe and capture all the Khitan population for our use!"
On the outskirts of the Khitan tribe, a cavalry leader commanded tens of thousands of cavalry to encircle and suppress the Khitan tribe where Yelu Xiuge lives.
Xiao Siwen, who disappeared, became the captive of the cavalry leader and was forced to follow the cavalry leader.
His face was ashen because he already knew the origin of this cavalry. This cavalry leader is not very personable, and his cavalry bonus is no less than that of Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda.
Even Brother Yeluxiu is probably not his opponent.
The leader of the cavalry looked at the Khitan tribal camp that had been reduced to a sea of flames. He was unmoved, but turned his head and said to Xiao Siwen: "Xiao Siwen, you and your Khitan tribe should both serve me, and I will make you kings. .And you only need to join my legion, for me to defeat powerful opponents, expand territory, and build a great empire."
"Impossible, you don't know the strength of King Xia of the Han Empire. If Temujin's enemies so powerful were defeated by him, you will also face the same failure as Temujin, and you will never be saved."
"Then I really want to see how powerful Xia Wang of the Han Empire is. This prairie should belong to us, not Xia Wang's pasture."
"On the prairie, those with strength live there. Today, you captured me, King Xia and my daughter will avenge me. You are getting on fire."
"Are you threatening me?"
The cavalry leader's eyes were fierce.
Xiao Siwen did not answer.
He knew that this cavalry leader was specifically looking for trouble with the Chutian forces and would conflict with the Chutian forces sooner or later. That is, his daughter will avenge him sooner or later.
The unknown number of cavalry is at least tens of thousands. They surrounded the Khitan tribe from all directions. Arrows fell like rain, the fire spread in the Khitan tribe, and the Khitan tribe was in an unprecedented crisis.
Yelushige led the last cavalry of the Khitan tribe, delaying this powerful enemy and buying time for the transfer of the Khitan tribe
Brother Yelu Xiu is indeed a legendary hero of the Khitan tribe. Under his leadership, the Khitan cavalry fought heroically and fought against the enemy.
The enemy burned their new camp, angering the Khitan cavalry!
Many Khitan cavalrymen just wanted to graze their animals well, but they were targeted by the enemy. The enemy in front of them wanted to conquer and enslave the Khitan tribe, so the Khitan cavalry had to fight to the death!
Because of the heroic resistance of Yelu Xiuge and the Khitan cavalry, the enemy who attacked the Khitan tribe did not gain much benefit, and thousands of casualties on both sides!
The blood-stained Khitan tribe's camp contrasts with the sea of fire.
"General Yelu, we are waiting for you in Monan Longcheng!"
The eyes of the Khitan generals who were transferred in advance were red, and Brother Yelu Xiu bought time for them, and may die under the attack of unknown cavalry.
This unknown cavalry force is too large, and its elite level is even higher than the cavalry led by Yelu Xiuge.
The ability of the enemy to come has surpassed Brother Yelu Xiu, reaching the level of Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda.
"If I'm still alive, I'll definitely join you. There's no time to hesitate, so leave quickly."
Brother Yeluxiu drew out his sword and fought the unknown cavalry who came after him.
The population of the Khitan tribe had time to transfer because of the desperate battle between Yelu Xiuge and the Khitan cavalry. However, under the interception of the other party, many Khitan tribes were looted, just like the Liaodong army swept away The Horqin grassland is almost the same, and the Khitan tribe once again lost a group of people.
"Captive of this Khitan general, his bravery deserves his life to serve me!"
The leader of the cavalry found that Brother Yelvxiu fought bravely, and Brother Yelvxiu's cavalry also had a strong combat ability, so he became fond of talents and wanted to bring Brother Yelvxiu into his account.
More and more cavalry surrounded Yelu Xiu Ge, a Khitan cavalry. One by one, his companions were killed by the arrows of each other. Ye Lu Xiu Ge was a little hysterical, but regardless of the strength or the bonus to the cavalry, he was at a disadvantage. Not an opponent at all.
There are people outside people, there are days outside the sky!
The enemy's goal seems to be to capture Brother Yelvxiu, so he didn't shoot him, otherwise he might have been shot by the opponent's sharpshooter who is good at riding and shooting.
A cavalryman came at Brother Yeluxiu, but Brother Yeluxiu blocked the spear with his long sword, and then Brother Yeluxiu beheaded the opponent's cavalry!
However, the number of cavalry on the other side is too large. An enemy who looks like a general of the other side, wielding a ring-headed sword, confronts Brother Yelu Xiu. The huge impact makes Brother Yelu Xiu's mouth numb.
When Brother Yeluxiu was in pain, several cavalrymen attacked and stabbed Brother Yeluxiu with spears. After more than a dozen rounds, in the end, the enemy generals successfully captured Brother Yeluxiu.
At this time, the entire Khitan tribe has been reduced to a sea of fire. The enemy's cavalry swept the entire tribe, captured tens of thousands of people, and transported these spoils back to their own tribe. Brother Yeluxiu became a prisoner and could only watch the enemy loot the Khitan tribe's camp, but he was powerless because his own life could not be guaranteed.
"Lord Shanyu, according to your instructions, successfully captured this person."
"King Youxian, your credit will increase your population by 1,000 households."
The cavalry chief seems to be very pleased with the results.
"Xiao Siwen, I didn't expect you to fall into their hands. I should have thought that this is not the cavalry of Wanyan Agu, but the cavalry of the Huns!"
Brother Yeluxiu heard the names of them and the clothes of the enemy, and quickly understood that this group of people were not the Jurchens, but the Huns. The difference between the Jurchen and the Huns is not small.
"Yes, this grassland in the north of the desert and the grassland in the south of the desert should belong to the pastures of the Huns. Temujin, as well as the Han Empire, stole this piece of land. Soon, I will Use my strength to reconquer this grassland and regain the land that originally belonged to our Huns."
The cavalry leader is very ambitious. In his opinion, this land is a pasture given to the Huns by God, not a battlefield where the Han Empire and Temujin compete.
"I don't know who you are among the Huns, but the Han Empire still has the Xia King, and you are not someone to be provoked. You destroy our Khitan tribe for your ambitions, and I will not serve you."
Brother Yelvxiu has a deep sense of identity with the Khitan tribe. The behavior of Xiongnu Shanyu's sack of the Khitan tribe angered Brother Yelvxiu, so Brother Yelvxiu held a grudge against the Xiongnu Shanyu.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you don't work for me?"
"A man can do something, but he can't."
"You are as stubborn as Xiao Siwen, but sooner or later you will surrender to me, because soon I will defeat the Xia King of the Han Empire and reoccupy this vast pasture. Come on, withdraw!"
After the Xiongnu Shanyu attacked the Khitan tribe, he knew that the troops deployed by Chutian in the Monan Prairie were likely to encircle and suppress it, so he carefully avoided the troops of the Chutian forces, and he still needed time to accumulate strength , dare to take the initiative to launch a comprehensive attack.
The power of the Xiongnu tribe gradually formed.
Fortunately, the person named Lu Su was not in the tribe at this time.
Brother Yelu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that Lu Su was still outside. Lu Su and Yelu Xiezhen went to look for the disappeared Xiao Siwen. As long as they did not fall into the hands of the Huns, they might soon find reinforcements to rescue the captured Khitan tribes.
If the Khitan tribes were all plundered by the Huns, the strength of the Huns would greatly increase, which was really not a good thing for the Han Empire.
"Totally burn everything here, leaving nothing behind."
Before the Xiongnu Shanyu left, the Xiongnu cavalry carried out the final plundering of the Khitan tribe, completely razing the Khitan tribe's camp to the ground.
Not long after the Xiongnu cavalry left, Lu Su and Yelu Xiezhen led their cavalry back to the Khitan tribe. From a distance, they could see thick smoke billowing over the tribal camp.
"No, the enemy attacked the Khitan tribe!"
Lu Su suddenly understood.
Now Lu Su has basically confirmed that an unknown cavalry attacked Xiao Siwen's cavalry squad, and now more cavalry attacked the Khitan tribe, their purpose is probably to annex the population of other tribes, just like they annexed the surrounding the same tribe.
According to this logic, it is very likely that the nomadic civilization that attacked the Khitan tribe was the Huns cavalry from Mobei.
Because according to Prince Yan, who manages Mobei, and Di Qing's report, there is a powerful Xiongnu cavalry gathering in the Langjuxu Mountain area in Mobei. ~IndoMTL.com~ is extremely scary. Di Qing fights against it, and may not get any benefits from it. It can be seen that its leader is not a person to be provoked.
Based on the connection, Lu Su quickly guessed that it was the Huns who were working in secret. The Huns used to be the masters of this grassland, causing headaches for the Han Empire for hundreds of years. From the Warring States Period to the Western Jin Dynasty, the Huns cavalry were active on the grasslands in the north. They are the earliest grassland overlords, so they should not be underestimated.
Figured out the connection, Lu Su immediately sent someone to inform Liu Hu and the cities in Monan, reminding the lords to be careful of being attacked by the Huns. The Xiongnu cavalry was obviously gathering forces and planning to expand their territory.
For the Huns, the loss of the prairie was an eternal pain in their hearts.
Equally important to the Huns is the Dragon City of the Holy Land, so they may attack these places. They must be guarded against, just in case.
"No matter what Huns attack our tribe, if they dare to provoke our Khitan tribe, there is only one way to die!"
Yelu Xiezhen led the cavalry back to the Khitan tribe, and found that the tribe's population had been dispersed, many people died in the war, or were captured by the Xiongnu Shanyu, which made Yelu Xiezhen angry.
In the east and west, the lords are worried about the Huns. This group of steppe overlords and their descendants are still everywhere, attacking cities and villages everywhere and becoming a threat.
Lu Su and Yelu Xiezhen went to Longcheng in Monan. At this time, the two sides had no idea of negotiating, but prepared for the Huns' cavalry. Lu Su went to St. Petersburg personally to ask Chutian for instructions.
"Let Li Mu return to Mo Nan."
Chutian transferred back to Li Mu, who was attacking Lake Baikal, and stationed in the more important Monan.
