Turbulent Times Chapter 677: Khitan Daily Company

It's just that, with such a heavy snowstorm, who will be on the way? And as a chaser, still working so hard?

"Shen Guang, bring a few people over to have a look!"

"Follow me!"

Shen Guang immediately ran down the hill, called a few people in the valley, and rushed towards the direction of the neighing horse.

They didn't ride horses, but walked away, leaving footprints on the rainy cement ground, but they were quickly covered by the wind and rain.

Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu hastily descended the hill and summoned people to wait for orders.

After about half a stick of incense, Shen Guang came back with someone. They also captured a prisoner who was dressed as a northern nomadic warrior, but he was different from the Turkic people Wang Junlin had seen.

Zheng Shengqiu's complexion changed, and he said in Wang Junlin's ear, "Messenger, look at his clothes, he seems to be a member of the Khitan Rilian Department."

The Khitan is the second largest force in the northern nomads after the Turks. It originated in Northeast China and is now divided into Xiwandan, Hedahe, Fufuyu, Yuling, The Lian, Pijie, Li, and Tuliuyu tribes are known as the Eight Khitan tribes. They have a large number of people in the north and northeast. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they have occupied many areas in the north. There are many tribes with more than one million people.

Moreover, the Khitan people are different from the Turkic people. Not all of them are nomadic. Some people are farming, fishing and hunting. Influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, they have a very close relationship with the Han people. More than 30% of the Khitan people in contact with Bingzhou belong to farming Khitan people, also known as herbivorous Khitan people. Most people live on the grasslands and live a nomadic life like the Turks. But there are still some who live in the mountains, also called mountain Khitan. In short, life forms are different. Even Nie Xiaoyu combined historical records and recently collected various information of this era, and only knew so many kings about Khitan.

"What is the background of this Khitan Rilian member?

"My lord, the Khitan Rilian people are located in the south of Huangshui (now Xilamulun River, Inner Mongolia) and north of Huanglong (now Chaoyang, Liaoning). They are a semi-nomadic people. Due to the territory of the Khitan Rilian tribe The terrain is complex and there are many hills and mountains, so many people are engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, and their strength is very strong."

"How powerful is it?"

After waking up, Xiao Feng'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "There are nearly 200,000 people, at least 50,000 cavalry can be produced."

"Has there been any conflicts with Bingzhou before?"

Xiao Fenger also said: "The Rilian Department is bordered by Shanggu County in Bingzhou. Every year, if there is a snowstorm or other disasters for the nomads in the north, and there is not enough food, there will be a number of people ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds. The cavalry of the Japanese company went south to fight Caogu. My father sent people to fight with them a few times. But sometimes they won, sometimes we won.”

Wang Junlin heard about it and looked at the prisoners of the Company Department that day.

But this place is no less than 800 miles away from the Rilian Department, why did the Rilian Department come here?

"Shen Guang, ask him clearly why they are who they are and why they appear here."

As he spoke, Wang Junlin unfolded the map, searched for a while, pointed to the map, and said: "We are at this location now, and this is probably where the Rilian Department is, so the Khitan Rilian Department came here , have passed through nearly half of Bingzhou, how did they come here... Strange."

It is indeed a very strange thing!

The grievances between the Khitan Rilian troops and the soldiers and civilians of Bingzhou are very deep, and after so many years of fighting, they must not be resolved.

At this time, Shen Guang also asked the confession, and came to Wang Junlin with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have asked clearly."

"What's going on?"

Shen Guang calmed down his emotions, and replied: "That guy is indeed from the Rilian Ministry, and he is a senior. He said that they have a total of 500 people, and they are stationed on the **** of the river bed in front. Send food and grass in the direction of the valley."

"Send food and grass?"

Wang Junlin looked down at the map, "Where is the Shuitou River Valley?"

Shen Guang immediately searched on the map, drew a circle on a black dot after a while, and said, "It's right here... Hey, this is the only way we must go to Hedong County. The guy also said , the grain and grass must be delivered within two days."

"How much food and grass are there?"

Shen Guang said: "According to that guy's account, it can feed at least 10,000 people for three days."

Ten thousand horses?

Wang Junlin's expression froze, while Shan Xiongxin, Zheng Shengqiu, Xiao Feng'er and others all changed their expressions drastically, and they all showed expressions of horror. Ten thousand people, ten thousand people are stationed in Shuitou River Valley, how do we get there?

"Having crossed the Shuitou River Valley is Hedong County." Wang Junlin said with a gloomy face. His first thought was that the Rilian tribe was going to attack Hedong County.

But after thinking about it, it's impossible.

Wang Junlin frowned, thought for a while, and said badly: This is probably Gao Ying's generation of sword killing, or a plan to drive away wolves and tigers. It was a nasty deal, and they agreed to many conditions, and then asked the people from the Japanese company to help them resist the troops of the Sui Dynasty who were about to attack, and at the same time intercept and kill Wang Junlin.

There is no such thing in history, but at this time in history, Yang Liang was still alive and in control of Bingzhou, so now history has quietly changed because of the appearance of Wang Junlin.

"Grandpa, what should we do?"

Shen Guang looked very solemn, and said: "The five hundred cavalry from the Rilian Department can come here unimpeded, which is obviously related to Gao Ying, so it happens to block our way. And, even if we go over, I'm afraid life and death are unpredictable."

After pondering for a while, Wang Junlin gritted his teeth and said, "We won't go to Hedong County anymore."

"My lord is not going to Hedong County? We can only take the route of Feihu Lane, but it must be blocked by those people."

"We're not going to Flying Fox Trail either."

Wang Junlin drew a circle on the map with his hand, clenched his fist and beat it hard, "Let's go here."

"Huang Shuigu?"

Shen Guang and the others exclaimed in unison, "Grandpa, this is the territory of Rilian's people."

"We are going here because of the territory of the Rilian Department. Gao Ying certainly would not have thought that we would take such a path... As you said just now, there is a deep grievance between the Rilian Department and the soldiers and civilians of Bingzhou , being able to join forces for a while is naturally the result of Gao Ying's strong pressure. The officers, soldiers and people below will definitely be very reluctant. We simply provoke the hatred between the Rilian Department and the Bingzhou Army and let them fight again. Once the two sides fight , we have an opportunity to take advantage of."

"This... Grandpa is brilliant!" Shen Guang and the others suddenly realized when they heard this, and nodded one after another.

The wind and rain lasted for most of the day, and in the evening, it gradually weakened, and the dark clouds cleared, and the sky and the earth became clear again.
