Xuanhua.

"Is this the Mengwu people? Why are they similar to a group of beggars?"

Wang Yue looked outside with interest.

Hundreds of nomadic cavalry were running by, looking very happy. From the banks of the Onon River, which is at the highest of minus 50 degrees Celsius, to this extremely cold weather, only minus 20 degrees Celsius, and most of the average temperature in winter is less than 0 degrees Celsius. They are really as happy as the Eskimos in good weather...

Including their livestock.

The grass on the banks of the Onon River is probably still sealed under the snow and ice!

There is already green here.

These figures wrapped in dirty leather robes and riding short Mongolian horses, and their horses were not like their descendants who could sing and dance. They were real barbarians in this era and had been isolated from the snowy wasteland for centuries.

"When I came back to the king, these cute ancients were extremely poor. In the past, the old Liao Dynasty was even forbidden to sell iron tools. They could only use teeth as arrows, but even so, they often rebel. The reason why the old Liao Dynasty was weak was that in addition to Tianzuo's incompetence and the Yelu family's internal struggle for the throne was largely exhausted by these guys.

Not just the mottled ancient part.

This is true for Bubu and Wugu.

Before the Jurchen rebelled, the old Liao had just suppressed the rebellion of Bu.

But the garrisons on the grasslands such as Duncheng and Hedongcheng need a lot of financial resources every year, and even if they fight with the Jurchens, the garrisons in these places dare not mobilize them, because once the garrisons leave, these Tatars will rebel. At that time, the Khitans will lose their way. Tianzuo fled west because there was a grassland garrison behind him. He knew that he had a strong army, but he did not expect that this army fell into the hands of Dashi Linya, and would rather go to the Western Regions than help him."

Shi Xiong, the commander of the Second Cavalry Army next to him, said with a sigh.

Well, this is a Khitan.

Most of Wang Yue's current generals are promoted from the grassroots level, and they have all ethnic groups. He doesn't care whether the Han people or other ethnic groups. Anyway, all Han people are now. This Shi Xiong is not only a Khitan, but also an old Liao tent, which is the Yelu Abaoji group...

Of course, the ministry.

He didn't even have a surname in the past, but he just had a name.

This stone is his original name.

Khitan name.

The Khitan name he used to mean Shi Tou, so he simply took Shi as his surname, and then the person in charge of registration added a Xiong, and his name became Shi Xiong. In addition to the Liu, who originally changed his surname to Yelu and Xiao from each descendant tribe, many of the Khitans and Xi people were left casually, which was quite like the Meiji style of the Japanese country.

Anyway, it won't take many years, and their descendants forget the source. In fact, people like Shi Xiong are now editing the source.

After all, they all like to find a more powerful ancestor for themselves.

He would look for him, and he would hire someone he would not know. For example, Shi Xiong hired a poor scholar and compiled a ancestor of the original nephew of the Shi Shouxin clan.

The son of the ancestor followed Shi Shouxin, Shi Baoji, the son-in-law of Shi Baoji, followed the Liangliangheche Shen in the north. During the period, the Song army was defeated and captured, and then was incorporated into the Liao Dynasty's tent. From then on, he did not dare to say that he was from his origin, but he remembered it from generation to generation. He dared to show his life experience after finally returning to his hometown. He even sent someone to come to Shi Shouxin's descendants with gifts to hope to regain their ancestors. It should be no big problem. Anyway, the Shi Shouxin family is quite in a downturn now, but in fact, his grandsons are already very ordinary. Among his grandsons, the highest one is just a deputy on the northwest road. It has been almost a hundred years since then. There are no high-ranking officials in the court. The family originally moved south in history.

It is still very beneficial to be a family with Wang Yue's subordinate, a promising general.

This kind of thing is really not uncommon.

The down-and-out old nobles need to support the upstarts, and the up-and-out nobles need the old nobles’ signs to gild themselves. This is a consensual matter, just like the tycoons of the New World wide-eyed and searching for marriages between the declining nobles in the Old World at the end of the 19th century.

The latter also rushed towards the upstart with antiquated ancestral emblems with anticipation.

Anyway, they only have heraldry...

Well, there is also a body.

“No iron.”

Wang Yue said.

Indeed, this is a common method for grasslands.

But it is useless now, because the Jurchens gave the Mongols a large amount of iron tools, even armor and weapons. In fact, before joining forces with the Jurchens, they had already taken advantage of the war in the Liao Kingdom to obtain these things to arm themselves.

"King, if we really fight, these cute ancients are not so difficult to fight. In fact, if we set up a formation, three cavalry troops can defeat them, but they will not fight with us. As soon as our cavalry goes out, they will immediately escape. They can even escape to Liao territory. At the farthest time, we chased them north and went north to Yuanyangbo, but we really couldn't chase them anymore. Our cavalry was not like them who rode horses like this for the rest of their lives. In the end, they could only return without success, but after they came back, they followed him, and there was a fallen whistle that was eaten by them. We are already like this, and the other three families are not as good as us."

Shi Xiong said.

"Where is their tent?"

Wang Yue asked.

"It is also uncertain to migrate. Yuanyangbo, Yanbei went into the water, Baishuili, and Sanggan River. These are their four main garrisons. With the tent as the center, each of them nomadic around hundreds of miles, but they have a rough range. Usually, they are not more than two days away from the tent. At present, they should still be on the banks of the Sanggan River east of Datong. They didn't know our background before. They had moved to Shunsheng to try to rob our transportation line, but were raided by the last general and beheaded more than 500 levels. They knew that we were not easy to mess with, so the tent did not go east. At this time, they were still nomadic along the Sanggan River in the south of Datong. Yang Zongmin could not defeat them and could only defend in Datong City.

Zhe Keqiu attacked once, and the Mongolians fled north to lure him to pursue him. Zhe Keqiu was ambushed and besieged on the mountain just after passing Baideng Mountain.

Yang Zongmin had no choice but to go out of the city to rescue him.

After Zhe Keqiu was rescued, he was forced into Datong City by the Mongols. Later, he was the last general to send troops. In addition, Guo Qizhong went south, and the Mongols were rescued. He was attacked by Guo Qizhong. Zhe Keqiu left Datong and returned to Yanmen Pass, and continued to echo the north and south with Yang Zongmin.

But the Mongwu people did not go far away, but continued to nomadicly in this area.

The most difficult thing now is that if they don’t leave, the farming in this area cannot be restored. They are indeed very weak in siege. In fact, they cannot capture any city that is held. But their nomads outside will turn these cities into isolated cities. Even if they can transport supplies from outside, the final transportation cost will be extremely high, and most of them will be cheaper. The reason why they stayed in this way was to take the population of Datong as hostages. As long as Yang Zongmin did not give up Datong, he had to transport supplies to him, and then the Mengwu people would rob these supplies.

It is simplest to give up Datong directly, but then this area will become theirs."

Shi Xiong said.

The mandarin ducks are located north of Zhangbei, and have become several small ponds in modern times, but at this time it was the main lake outside the border and the paradise for nomads. The Daihai and Baishui are the Yellow Flag Sea. Nomads must follow the water source, either the lake or the river, and cannot be too far away from such places.

Previously, several major battlefields of the Liao and Jin wars were also in these places.

At present, the entire battlefield is Datong as the core.

Indeed, by giving up Datong, the passive situation on the entire battlefield was completely resolved, but by giving up Datong, he gave the north of Yanmen Pass to the Mengwu people.

"I have to give them a ruthless move!"

Wang Yue said.

Shi Xiong looked at him carefully.

"Escape from Xuanhua!"

Wang Yue suddenly said.

"Uh, is the king trying to seduce the enemy?"

Shi Xiong said.

"Escape from Xuanhua and release news to the outside world. Nianhan has conquered Jinzhou, Chizhanhui surrenders, Yinshu can attack Yuguan. You need to return to the pass to reinforce Zhang Jue, but you are not going back to the pass, but retreating east to the mountainous area to find a place to hide. All the militias in Xuanhua withdrew from the pass, filling all their cars, even if they are loaded with grass, and sending news to the outside world, saying that the 100,000 stone of grain and countless wealth and weapons stored in Xuanhua will be withdrawn from the pass."

Wang Yue said.

Maybe you can learn Tumubao.

This place is completely isolated from western Liaoning, and even if we communicate with each other, it will take a long time. The Mongolians cannot know the truth in a short time, and what they lack most is undoubtedly food. The Xuanda area experienced the continuous destruction of the Liao and Jin War, coupled with the Song and Jin War, especially Geng Shouzhong took away a large population, and by the time Yang Zongmin took over, a total of only 400,000 people were only taken over.

After the Mongols invaded, all around Datong contracted into Datong, while the remaining populations of Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Weizhou all fled south.

The Mengwu people have no choice but to rob them.

Although they are nomads and this area is more suitable for nomads, food shortage is inevitable. If there are really 100,000 stones of grain and countless wealth, they are slowly rushing to Juyongguan, they will definitely rob them.

Then you can ambush them, at least give them a heavy blow.

It is indeed difficult to deal with when they disperse.

But just like the last time the White Tatars, once they fall into a special terrain and cannot disperse and run, it will not be difficult to encircle and annihilate it, so the key is to let them enter the preset battlefield. The Tumu Fort area is indeed a perfect preset battlefield, and in fact it is not just Tumu Fort. From Xuanhua to the south, to the narrow valley of Badaling, there are such battlefields.

"It's not difficult to hide. There are mountains everywhere after passing Longmen Pass. Not to mention more than 10,000 cavalry, even 100,000 cavalry can hide. It's easy to have a king in charge and want to destroy them. It's just that how to coax them to believe and come, this requires some arrangement. These Mongolians look rough, but they are actually very cunning, and they act very carefully."

Shi Xiong said.

"Tell you a secret!"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

The latter looked at him blankly...

"I know what they say!"
