Huo'er Shen grassland records the rise and fall of the Donghu ethnic groups.

At the time of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were three ancient ethnic groups in the northeast, namely Sushen, Huiqian, and Donghu.

Breeding to this day, Su Shen is the seven parts of the Shen Ya, the Hui is generally inherited by Goguryeo, Donghu is divided into Wuhuan, after Xianbei, Wuhuan perished, Xianbei is sinicized, only Xi people, Khitan people stay in the Wuzhumuqin grassland, Huo'er Shen grassland.

First of all, Wuhuan, after Cao Cao was defeated and declined, the Xianbei people of Donghu, who were also the same people, moved from Xianbei Mountain to Huo'er Shen grassland, and after integrating the Wuhuan people, they became the main Plains.

After the rise of Goguryeo of the Xianbei tribe, after the destruction of Goguryeo by Li Tang in history, the Bohai State, established by the descendants of the Sushen tribe, Sumo and the remnants of Goguryeo, became a new threat to the northeast of the Central Plains after Goguryeo.

The Khitan people are the same as the Xi people, they are the descendants of the Xianbei Yuwen Department, from the Donghu people, after the Khitan people rose from the Huoershen grassland, they destroyed the Bohai State and established Liao. On the Korean Peninsula today, the two kingdoms of Silla and Baekje are descendants of the Samhan tribe, and in another time and space, Prince Kim Chunqiu, who served under the command of Lee Chong-koo, created a unified Silla that has no inheritance relationship with Goguryeo.

The Hao tribe perished, and after thousands of years, it was the descendants of the two ancient clans of Donghu and Sushen who provoked the main beam on the stage of Liaodong for thousands of years.

The Liao established by the Khitans was a black water dartery of the cautious, which was later destroyed by the Jurchens, and the Jurchens established the Jin State in the Central Plains, and the country was honored for more than 100 years. The people who destroyed the Jin State were the Murwei people who were descendants of Donghu with the Khitans, and it was recorded in the Book of Wei that the Murwei and the Khitan came from the same source. With the Xing'an Mountains as the boundary, the south is the Khitan, and the north is the Murwei.

Murwei is also known as Tatar, and the Turks were the first to refer to the Murwei people as Thirty Surname Tatars. Tatar is a Turkic language, and later became synonymous with the Murwei people.

A branch of the Murwei people, the Mengwu Murwei, also translated as Menggu, hazy bone, etc., and finally took Mongolia as a pronoun. When Hebulhan invaded the Southern Song Dynasty by the Jin State, he established the Mengwu Khanate on the grassland, and the golden family of Temujin, the descendant of Hebul Han, also embarked on the footsteps of destroying the Jin Dynasty on the Uzhumuqin grassland and Huoershen grassland.

After the fall of the Mengyuan, the Jurchen descendants established the Jurchens. Rising again, the Mongolian Horqin tribe on the Huoershen steppe took the lead in taking refuge in Nurhachi, becoming a powerful arm of Manchuria and intermarrying with the Manchurian royal family. For example, in history, Queen Xiaozhuang was from the Horqin Department.

It is necessary to cut off the great calamity of the Khitan in the north. It is necessary to go deep into the Huo'er Shen grassland and hit the Khitan Department hard to achieve it.

At this time, the main force of 70,000 crossed Wuhou Qinshui early and embarked on the road back to Yuyi Town, while Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo, and Tudiji's 7,000 cavalry went deep into the Huo'er Shen grassland. Their route is expected to be from Huo'ershen Grassland, to White Wolf Mountain, and then from White Wolf Mountain to the Daling River Valley back to Liucheng, the seat of Liaoxi County.

Huo'er Shen grassland. It's vast. As Du Yan said, the river is crisscrossed.

According to Du Yan's guidance, everyone first arrived at a nomadic land of the Khitans, but they pounced on the air, and there were only thousands of crooked wooden stakes left, and traces left by a circle of felt bags.

Xue Wanche carefully looked at the fire pier where the Khitans camped and the traces of the stone circle of cattle and sheep, and deduced that this was a large tribe, and it migrated eastward, and it did not take long.

At that moment, Xue Wanche divided his troops to pursue Wang Junkuo.

Wang Junkuo thought that it was too risky to go deep into the enemy's territory and divide the troops again, but Xue Wanche thought that the opportunity could not be lost, and he resolutely asked to send troops to pursue him.

In the end, the two discussed and decided to let Wang Junkuo lead 5,000 men and horses to take the captives and rest here, while Xue Wanche led the cavalry of the Han, Xi, and Yan tribes of Wugunai, carrying only five days of dry food, to pursue this Khitan tribe. The two agreed that within seven days, regardless of the outcome of the battle, the two armies would meet together at Wuhuan Mountain.

This time, the number of men and horses was reduced again, and the nearly 80,000 troops who entered the grassland at the beginning had to return to Yuyi Town due to limited food and grass, and most of them had to return to Yuyi Town, accompanied by more than 70,000 people from the Khitan Yuling Department and the Fufu Yu Department. Only Wang Junkuo, Xue Wanche's 7,000 cavalry, penetrated deep into the Huo'er Shen Grassland in the Khitan hinterland.

After attacking Tuliuyubu, 7,000 cavalry replenished a certain amount of rations, but in order to pursue the Khitans, they divided their forces again. Xue Wanche, the two thousand cavalry of Ugunai, set foot on the road.

It is not difficult to track down the Khitans, who have carved out an obvious path on the grassland. It's just that yesterday there was a torrential rain that made all the roads muddy. It is impossible to appear on the grassland, and in the Han land, there is only a vast grassland, jungle, rolling hills, and sudden rivers.

The army pursued for three days, but still did not see the shadow of the Khitan tribe.

For the Xi people in the cavalry, they were born on the grassland, they not only acted as scouts to investigate from all sides, from time to time dismounted to pick some wild leeks, wild onions, grass fungi and other food, but also shot a few rats, wrasse, wild sheep and so on with dry food.

As for the cavalry of the Han army, it was much inferior, and when a small number of Han cavalry were hungry and thirsty, they learned from the Xi people, and the people of the Yan Dynasty took mare's milk to drink, but the result was that they had diarrhea and delayed the march.

Xue Wanche was born in a family of Rongma, and he was familiar with the book of military strategy since he was a child, but it was the first time that he had to fight in the grassland, and he felt constrained everywhere. But Xue Wanche was tenacious and made up his mind to pursue this Khitan tribe no matter what.

At this time, Xue Wanche's cavalry had only two days left with military rations.

On the other side, Wang Junkuo, Du Yan led 5,000 cavalry, escorted Tuliu Yu to more than 10,000 prisoners, and arrived at Wuhuan Mountain.

In this Wang Junkuo once again encountered the Khitan tribe, and after the battle, he expelled them from Wuhuan Mountain, captured 5,000 Khitans, and captured countless cattle, sheep and horses.

Then Wang Junkuo waited for Xue Wanche in Wuhuan Mountain, and waited until the appointed day, Xue Wanche, Wugunai's 2,000 cavalry, still had no trace. Wang Junkuo could only wait patiently.

After waiting for another five days, Wang Junkuo sent light cavalry to the north near Wuhuan Mountain and the east to search, but found nothing.

Going deep into the enemy's territory, the situation is very dangerous, although the soldier rations plus the capture can support the last month, but Wang Junkuo resolutely thinks that Xue Wanche is more than lucky, and immediately ordered the army to press the prisoners to return to the south.

When all the generals heard this, they all objected, and they all rejected it by Wang Junkuo.

Wang Junkuo left 300 cavalry and waited for Xue Wanche in Wuhuan Mountain for another two days, while he himself led a large army to escort the Khitan captives from Wuhuan Mountain to White Wolf Mountain. Wang Junkuo's army laid a pontoon bridge on the Huangshui, and the water was flooded again, and the Khitan captives resisted the radical change halfway up, Wang Junkuo killed 500 people, suppressed the rebellion, and the corpses were thrown on the Huangshui, and the river was red.

The generals saw that Wang Junkuo's killing was too heavy, and there was no change in color.

After crossing the Huangshui, he heard that the 300 cavalry behind Tun had received the news of Xue Wanche's 2,000 cavalry.

A large number of Khitan captives escorted by Xue Wanche arrived, and it turned out that Xue Wanche was pursuing one of the eight Khitan tribes.

Xue Wanche ran for five days before he caught up with the tail of the horse. Knowing that they were invincible, they took the initiative to surrender at the moment, and more than 30,000 Khitans and more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses surrendered to Xue Wanche.

Because more than 30,000 people dragged their families with them, and the cavalry sent by Xue Wanche to contact them did not arrive at Xianbei Mountain because they were lost, they missed the return date.

Knowing that Xue Wanche was fine, all the generals were happy, but Wang Junkuo said that Xue Wanche did not follow the military order and would not miss the deadline, and said that he would attach this matter to Xue Wanche's meritorious performance and send it to Zhongshu Province.

But this is only a small episode.

The two armies met, and this time they went deep into the grassland to break the six Yu Division, the Pi Su Department, plus the Yuling Department, the Fu Fu Yu Department, and four of the eight Khitan tribes were hit in this war, and the news came from the mouth of the captives of the Pi Su Department, saying that the father and son of Dahe Duluo had fled to Xianbei Mountain and asked for shelter from the people of the Black Water Spirit.

Dahe Duluo has been swept away by the prestige of the Khitan, although he did not capture Dahe Duluo himself, but he has also explained the matter of going deep into the grassland and pursuing the Khitan this time.

After Wang Junkuo and Xue Wanche joined forces, they returned south with nearly 50,000 Khitans.

After the army crossed the Wuhou Qinshui again, it was one step closer to the way back, and it was the meeting place of the forces of the Sumo Ya, Goguryeo, Khitan, Zhao and the four ethnic groups in the northeast.

After two days of the army arrived at the White Wolf Mountain, after the victory in the battle of the White Wolf Mountain, the traces of the carved stone are still visible.
