Fan Tong smiled and took a sip of mare's milk wine, and while looking at Xiao Ti to read the letter, he said, "Many friends, many roads." General Yeluyuan, that is also our good friend. ”

"General Yelu Yuan is far away in Goguryeo, and I haven't heard of him helping you anything? How did you become good friends? Xiao Ti put down the letter in his hand and asked curiously.

"Patriarch Xiao, you only submitted to the King of Liao later, so naturally you don't know the causes and consequences of many things. Our big boss Liu Yan was also a big man under the command of King Liao back then! and General Yeluyuan were originally old acquaintances. Fan Tong cut a small strip of mutton with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

"I see!" Xiao Ti was stunned. "But then?"

Later, something else happened, and Liu Da's family had a dispute with Deng Jingshan. Deng Jingshan killed our Liu Da Boss Manchu cleanly, and only our big boss was left. Hey, you say, can our big boss still count on King Liao to avenge his grievances? Fan Tong smiled and said authentically.

"Naturally, it can't." Xiao Ti shook his head and said: "If the situation is evenly matched, or if you can ask for some explanation, since one side is completely destroyed and one side is completely victorious, then the King of Liao will naturally support the side that wins all." Now General Deng Jingshan is the most powerful and useful general under the King of Liao. ”

"That's natural, it's for this reason that Liu Da's family can only go up the mountain and fall into the grass, but there was always some love outside." Fan Tongdao.

Xiao Ti nodded: "In the past few years, we have also lost the care of General Yeluyuan. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that Xiao's enemies would have killed me a long time ago, instead of tossing us slowly like now. General Yelu said let me trust you completely, and since General Yelu said so, I am naturally relieved to accept him. ”

Fan Tong smiled and took out another letter from his arms, "I have another letter with Patriarch Xiao here." ”

"Why don't you take it out together?" Xiao Ti opened the envelope in surprise, and as usual, he glanced at the payment first, but this time, he jumped up in fright.

The signature of this letter was another Khitan, Yeluqi.

But Yeluqi and Yeluyuan are completely different, he is a general of the Tang Dynasty.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Ti looked at Fan Tong in shock, "Why is there still a connection with Yeluqi?" ”

Fan Tong slowly cut the mutton with a small knife, "Patriarch Xiao, is this strange?" Liu Da wants to take revenge, but he can rely on his own strength, and don't think about it in this life. Don't look at us living in Wuhu Mountain, but it's just in the mountains, the real strength, compared to Deng Jingshan, is the firefly and the moon competing for glory. But Liu Da Boss wants to take revenge very much, and he wants to cut off Deng Jingshan's head with his own hands, the last thing he wants to see is that Deng Jingshan, an old thief, is dying, do you understand? ”

"So you colluded with the Tang Dynasty?" Xiao Ti swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "But, but General Yeluyuan?" ”

Fan Tong smiled but did not speak.

Xiao Ti shuddered, looked at the other party, and his face was full of incredulity.

Sticking the knife on top of the mutton, Fan Tong raised his head, looked at Xiao Ti and said, "There's nothing strange about this. At that time, General Yeluqi voted for Li Ze and Li Xiang, and General Yeluyuan followed the King of Liao to the northeast, and the two were originally the same, but from the time they chose different paths, they completely embarked on different paths. ”

Xiao Ti naturally understands this truth. I think that at the beginning, if he didn't follow the local clans of Liaodong to fight against the King of Liao, but chose to defect to the King of Liao at the beginning, then the current situation is only completely different.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

"General Yeluqi has now achieved the rank of Sanpin General in Datang. And the Sibandan clan is no longer what it used to be. Fan Tongdao: "When they went south back then, the whole clan couldn't even reach a cotton coat, and while walking, some people died in the wind and snow. The veterans and warriors were at the forefront, shielding women, children, and children from the snow and snow, just to give the tribe a good future. ”

This is the tradition of the Khitan people, and every time there is a crisis, the old people always have to sacrifice themselves to protect the whole clan. Xiao Tiyu remembers that many years ago, in the winter when there was no food, the old people would take off all their clothes, and then walk naked into the boundless wind and snow in the dark night.

"But now?" Fan Tongdao: "Boxing Trading Company is famous all over the world. The Sidan people, who were poor and did not even have a cotton coat, are now the richest people in the Tang Dynasty, and the son of General Yeluqi, Yelu Fengze, waved his hand, which is a big business of millions of dollars. Patriarch Xiao, tell me, why doesn't General Yeluyuan regret the abnormality? Now, he is still wading through the ravine in Goguryeo, living in a broken shack, and catching cats with Tan Daoji! ”

"So, it's not too late to make amends!"

Listening to Fan Tong's last sentence, Xiao Ti was silent for a long time before he said: "Mr. Fan, it's rare that you can take a fancy to me, but I'm just these three hundred warriors, what role can I play?" ”

Fan Tongdao: "You three hundred people, when you get to the main battlefield of the battlefield in front, it is indeed nothing, to put it mildly, Patriarch Xiao, I am afraid that if one charge down, your three hundred cavalry will no longer exist." You haven't fought against the Tang Army, have you? But you fought with the army of the King of Liao. ”

"It's not that my warriors aren't brave enough...... Xiao Ti said.

"It doesn't matter." Fan Tongdao: "Do you know that on the bank of the Yishui River, Zhang Zhongwu, the king of Liao, was still the envoy of the Lulong Festival at that time, and his 20,000 cavalry fought a decisive battle with Li Ze and Li Xiang, who was still the envoy of the Wuwei Festival, Patriarch Xiao, the scene of the 20,000 cavalry launching a charge, you have never seen it in your life, right?" ”

Xiao Ti shook his head, although he had never seen it, he could also imagine the unrivaled end of the earth-shaking mountains.

"In that battle, the King of Liao was defeated and lost, and the 20,000 main cavalry were almost wiped out on the banks of the Yishui River." Fan Tong said with a smile, "And now, Li Xiang's strength is even more incomparable to back then, and the current Li Xiang is ten times stronger than He Zhi back then." At that time, Li Xiang, the whole army came out, and there were only tens of thousands of people, although he won that battle, but he was also greatly injured. But today, Li Xiangke has hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think King Liao has a chance of winning? ”

Fan Tong took advantage of the asymmetry of information between the two sides here, and easily changed the concept, Li Ze did have hundreds of thousands of troops, but this time it was only two of the guards who dealt with Zhang Zhongwu. But Xiao Ti is in the middle of the poor countryside, and his subordinates only have hundreds of people, so where can they know so much?

Xiao Ti's face turned a little pale.

"I know that Patriarch Xiao and your subordinates are warriors, but war is not a game, and the role that individual martial arts and talents can play on the battlefield is really minimal. And an unpopular person like Patriarch Xiao, must have been sent out as the first wave of charging death squads at that time. You must first advance with a stone cannon like a meteor, charge with a strong crossbow, and finally charge with a crossbow arrow as dense as a flying locust. But the range is much farther than a normal bow and arrow, and armor piercing is easy. Patriarch Xiao, I see that your warriors don't even have a decent piece of armor. By the time you meet the opposing cavalry, I wonder how many of you will be left. ”

Xiao Ti lowered his head in some pain.

"So Patriarch Xiao, this time I'm really here to save you. On the main battlefield, your clan will be completely finished. Fan Tong said in a low voice.

"But what can I do? I'm only 300 people? Xiao Ti sighed.

"Of course you can do a lot of things!" Fan Tongdao: "This time, the King of Liao can be said to have set out in his nest, leaving only a few guards and horses in various places, and only a left army is the main army that monitors our Weihu Mountain." But there are only three thousand, plus a part of the army of servants like you. Although Patriarch Xiao's strength is much inferior to before, your clan used to be famous, and your surname alone is enough to make many small tribes believe in you. If you can quietly contact some people, at that time, we will cooperate with the army of Weihu Mountain, break this Liao army in one fell swoop, and then you can make a big deal in the empty Liao land. ”

"And then?"

"What do you say?" Fan Tong said with a smile: "The army is fighting outside, there is a fire in the backyard, there are strong enemies outside, and there are troubles inside, can the King of Liao still hold on?" ”

Xiao Ti took a deep breath: "I'm just afraid that the King of Liao won't be finished by then, and after he returns to the teacher, he will destroy us first, so what do I want?" ”

"Have you forgotten General Yeluyuan?" Fan Tongdao: "Do you think that at that time, the King of Liao will still have time to take care of us?" Even if the King of Liao is really red-eyed, he wants to clean us up first, and we can retreat to Weihu Mountain, he has no way to take us all these years, and there will be no way in the future. These people of yours, when they arrive at Weihu Mountain, I am afraid that they will live better than here. Patriarch Xiao, this is your chance, and your last chance. Otherwise, your tribe will really be finished. ”

Xiao Ti was silent for a long time, Fan Tong was not in a hurry, picked up the knife again, and began to cut the mutton slowly and chew slowly, until he saw Xiao Ti finally stretched out his hand and put away the thick stack of silver tickets on the table, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

Walking out of the yurt and looking up at the gorgeous sunshine, Fan Tong stretched his waist greatly, the weather is so good today!

At this time, somewhere in distant Goguryeo, it was raining lightly, and the ground was muddy, and Yelu Yuan was standing at the door of a shack, looking at the dense forest with a gloomy face, although it was not raining, he still felt that the clothes on his body were wet and sticking to his body, which was extremely uncomfortable.
