The sun should have risen a long time ago, but the thick fog of the winter morning shrouded the plains, and the morning sun could not penetrate the layers of fog.

It was a cold winter, the sun seemed weak and weak, and the whirring north did not stop, but it still could not blow the thick fog, but blew a thicker and thicker fog veil.

The commander of the Left Coalition Army of the Tribal Alliance, the grandson of the Yelu Thorn Brothers of the Ten Khitan Great Dielie Mansion, the Khitan Tart Horse Tamarin Shari Yelu Abaoji, gently patted the slightly restless mount with his palm. This is not the first time he has participated in the war, two years ago, he had already taken the lead in fighting bravely many times in the battle of his uncle Shilu who had stabbed him with his father and his uncle Shilu and their southward march to the Central Plains and the north. But that time, they were almost wiped out, their father was killed in battle, and their uncle Shi Lu and their uncle Gonggu are still imprisoned in Yanjing Prison in Hebei Province in the Central Plains.

If he hadn't been seriously injured in the battle of Yunzhou, with more than a dozen broken bones on his body, and he had been unconscious for a long time, he might have died in the Central Plains like his father, and he would not have escaped by chance. Even if he narrowly escaped that time, he had been recuperating in the tribal tent by the water for more than a year, and there were still many old wounds on his body that had not yet healed.

After the death of the father, after the death of the father, the Khitan has undergone a lot of changes, his uncle, who has never been looked down upon, actually took advantage of the time when everyone was outside, he sat on the Khitan Khan throne, Pu Gu only died of illness, and now the position of Yili Sumire is his uncle and grandfather Tiera, Yu Yue is his uncle Yelu Yanmu, his other two cousins, Yelu Evensi and Yelu Wansi are the kings of the north and south courts, and his cousin, the son of Shilu, is the commander of the palace tent army. Guarding the new Khitan Yi Lijin sticking to the thorns. And he succeeded his father as a tart marmoset. As the head of the Khitan Yuyue's guard department.

With his uncle and grandfather Yi Lijin Tira coming to Bohai and putting on his armor again, Yelu Abaoji's heart has changed a lot. He even gave himself a Han name, Liu Yi. The Chinese name he took was very connotative, and when the Khitan originally accepted the Central Plains Li Tang Cefeng, he accepted the surname Li. But Abaoji took the Han name, but chose Liu, because during his injury. He read many books in the Central Plains very carefully, especially history books. After he read the history books of the dynasties of the Central Plains, he admired the most among the emperors of the Central Plains who had achieved hegemony and created dynasties, and only Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, admired the most.

In his opinion, Liu Bang was nothing at the end of the Qin Dynasty, whether it was literary or military, but he was such a character, and he defeated Xiang Yu, the hero overlord recognized by everyone, and even commanded those subordinates who were stronger than him. Eventually, the Han Dynasty was inaugurated. Liu Bang's talent is limited, and sometimes he is even inferior to his wife Lü. is such a character, but he is the only one in the world. He has great respect for Liu Bang and thinks that such a character is the real hero. In his opinion, if today, Li Jing in the Central Plains is like Xiang Yu, who is as majestic and domineering as Xiang Yu, invincible and invincible. He wanted to be Liu Bang, although the strength of the two sides was very different at the beginning, but in the end Liu Bang was able to beat Xiang Yu.

Therefore, he named himself Liu Yi, and also gave Yue Liduo, the daughter of his aunt who had just married, and also took a Han surname, Xiao. Xiao is Xiao He, Liu Bang's important minister, Xiao He, he reads history books, and feels that although Liu Bang has a number of capable ministers, but among them, he admires Xiao He the most, he hopes that his new wife can also become a good helper like Xiao He, rather than a woman like Liu Bang's wife Lu Shi.

Since the injury, Abaoji has reflected for a long time, reflecting on why they will be defeated again and again in the hands of Li Jing.

In the end, he came to a conclusion, that is, in the Western Han Dynasty, the important minister of the Wenjing and Jing dynasties, Chao Cuo, once put forward a proposition, the outside must first be at home.

In his opinion, the tribes outside the Seychelles are vast and have a large population. Think about history, the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Rouran in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Turks in the Sui and Tang dynasties, all of which were once extremely powerful, making the Central Plains a giant, and even a powerful steppe regime that negotiated peace with relatives. The key to the ability of these steppe empires to suppress the Central Plains Dynasty lies in the fact that they have unified the vast Saiwai, from Haidong to the Western Regions, tens of thousands of miles away, hundreds of tribes are all integrated into one, Xiongnu, Soft, Turkic, every grassland empire, can dispatch four or five hundred thousand iron horsemen at any time, that is the real iron horseman, not the hundreds of thousands of people who count men, women and children together like they are now.

If the tribes outside the Central Plains want to defeat the Central Plains, they can only wait for the Central Plains to split, or unify themselves.

Today's Central Plains seems to be divided, but there is a Li Jing who was born out of thin air, occupying the northern line and guarding the gateway of the Central Plains, and they can't go south to plunder and gain benefits. Even their idea of fighting Bohai, Li Jing refused.

Li Jing is their old enemy, which makes it difficult for them to develop at all, but they have been bleeding continuously in the past few years, and their vitality has been greatly damaged.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

This is not only something that the people of the Central Plains need to do, but also their tribe. If the Khitan could truly integrate the Saiwai land from east to west, instead of just occupying a small area in the northeast as it is now, and it would have to be a loose tribal alliance, they would definitely be able to press the Central Plains Dynasty under their iron hooves and tremble like the Xiongnu Rourantu steppe empires.

He felt that the upper echelons of the Khitan were a little unclear-headed, or that they were a little outdated and couldn't see the situation clearly. They are still using the idea of tribal struggle to face this big war that is related to the life and death of the Khitan. Now is not the time to continue fighting with the Qin army, they should understand that they have lost this battle with the Qin people, and once they lose to the end, they will lose completely. What they had to think about now was not how to defeat the Qin army, but how to preserve what little strength they had left.

Straddled the horse, he seemed very silent, and his heart was deeply uneasy.

The sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and a middle-aged knight in full armor appeared. Liu Yi glanced back, it was his uncle, Yu Yue Yelu Yanmu of the Khitan. Originally, after Yelu Pugu was seriously ill, it had been agreed within Diera that Shi Lu would take over the position of Yili Jin, but Pugu was no longer able to serve at that time, and even established a new position in Yu Yue, taking over the Khitan military and political power in advance in disguise. But who would have thought that the Central Plains of the Shilu Society would be defeated, and he would eventually become a prisoner of the Southern Barbarians. Pugu only died suddenly, so that the entire Diela Yelu family was not ready, it should be succeeded by Yelu Yanmu to the position of Yili Sumire, as a result, Yelu jurisdiction came in chaos, the Diera family snatched the Khan position, and then the old man Tiera did Yili Sumire, and after the most out of compensation, I had to let Iwaki this original new Yili Sumire take over Yu Yue's position, Yu Yue's temporary position, but now it has become a fixed position, Yu Yue and Yi Lijin The two positions are equivalent in terms of authority, and the Khitan is under the noble and no real power of the Khan, Now there are two chiefs of the general army.

However, although Yu Yue and the Yi Li Jin of the Great Dielie Mansion have about the same power, Tie Ra is Yan Mu's uncle after all, and he has also served as the ninth Yi Li Jian, and now he is the tenth, whether it is seniority or prestige, Yelu Tie Ra is the real first person in the entire Khitan today.

However, Tiera is already very old, and among his sons, Pugu only died, Gonggu only became a prisoner of the Southern Barbarians, and the ruler became the khan again, and the remaining two sons, Evensi and Wansi, are now the kings of the North and South Courtyards. According to the old rules, after the three-year term of Yelu Tira expired, Yi Lijian's position had to be inherited by Abaoji's grandfather, Yun Deshi. Yelu Yanmu is in his forties, and he is in the prime of life. His body, which has been fighting for many years, is still very strong on horseback.

"Sip, are you here? Your body is not yet well, you have to get up too early on such a cold morning, such a strong wind, such a thick fog, once you get lost, it is not fun. ”

"Uncle, is there a fog like this often here?"

Yelu Abaoji has grown a lot taller in the past two years, and at the age of twelve, he already has a height of eight feet, (Han ruler, about one meter eight). His strength was much greater, and he was already able to wield a two-hundred-pound strong bow, and he asked, holding his pupils under his helmet like the color of a clear night sky.

"Well, there is often such a fog in the winter morning in the Bohai Sea, and the fog is so thick that you can't see your fingers clearly, and sometimes the fog doesn't dissipate until the afternoon." Yelu Yanmu opened his mouth and smiled, "But whether it's dense fog or heavy snow, it can't stop our tribal cavalry. In fact, the worse the weather in the Bohai Sea, relatively speaking, the more favorable it is for us, in any case, most of our coalition troops grew up outside the pass, and they have adapted to this severe cold early, but they are much stronger than Li Jing's southern barbarian soldiers, and many of them have never even seen snow since they were young! ”

Abaoji is not as optimistic as his uncle, and the Qin army may not be as adaptable to the cold outside the fortress as they are, but the Qin army has sufficient equipment. They had fur coats, padded jackets, sweaters, coal, charcoal, and their cold equipment was very complete. Didn't my uncle just say that it's easy to get lost in dense fog? If they had withdrawn in such weather, the cold would have been a great enemy, and now with the dense fog, the retreat would have been fatal.

"Hey, you're too foolish. Our coalition forces are all tribes outside the Guan, and they are no strangers to the harsh winter in the northeast. On the contrary, those southern barbarians of the Qin army, who crossed the distance of four or five thousand miles, ran to this ice and snow that they had never experienced before to fight, they simply ran thousands of miles to dig their own graves. Fighting here is not just a matter of having a lot of soldiers. Back then, Yang Guang also launched a million-dollar expedition to Liao, but the result was just the burial of his own Sui Empire.
