Chapter 689: Khitan and Xianbei

Temujin couldn't help but feel regretful: "That man should be an important person under Alexander's command, otherwise he is not qualified to lead Alexander's companion cavalry and prepare to withdraw." ”

Temujin came to investigate, and there were only more than 100 cowardly Xue soldiers around him.

The veterans of the cowardly Xue army became fewer and fewer the more they fought.

Alexander's courage was as great as Temujin's, and he brought only a few hundred companion cavalrymen to the rescue of Hephaestion without hesitation.

The two conquerors met on the outskirts of Venus, and Alexander reined in his horse and confronted Temujin.

Temujin seemed to be a little old, and Alexander was still very young.

"Great Khan, maybe I can go and shoot him."

Jebel took the initiative to shoot their king Alexander in front of his fellow cavalrymen.

"No, his force should not be low."

Temujin faintly sensed that Alexander dared to attack with a small number of cavalry, and he must have a certain ability to protect himself.

If Jebel had gone into battle, with Alexander's few companion cavalry, Jebel might have been captured.

"Did you kill Hephaestion?"

Alexander was a stone's throw away from Temujin, and he was confident that Temujin would not be able to shoot him.

"That cavalry commander is not dead yet, if he hadn't run fast, he would have been killed by me."

Seeing that Alexander took the initiative to ask, Temujin did not hide it, then waved his hand and led the cavalry away.

A cavalry general asked Alexander: "King, are we going to hunt down Temujin?" He only had a hundred cavalry, and we had a few hundred. ”

"No, if you hunt down Temujin, you will only be fooled. His cavalry is above me. ”

Alexander gave up the pursuit of Temujin, because he knew that he could not catch up, and the Hun Empire camp in the rear was sweeping towards Vienna, and Alexander and others were still gathering their troops to converge in Vienna, and they did not have the confidence to fight with Temujin and Attila for the time being.

"Hephaestion, you're fine."

Alexander found Hephaestion, the captain of his companion cavalry, who was being pursued by Temujin.

Hephaestion was a little ashamed: "I have betrayed the king's trust. ”

"There aren't many men with more powerful cavalry than Temujin, so let's go back to the camp and get another one to scout."

In order to prevent Hephaestion from being in danger again, Alexander replaced Hephaestion with another general, who was responsible for the reconnaissance.

"The king, Pompey, the great man of Rome, is already at war with the enemy's army!"

On the way back to camp with Alexander and Hephaestion, the Roman legions engage the legions of Gustav, lions from Northern Europe!

"Pompey should wait for us!"

Constantine and Caesar couldn't help but change color when they learned that Pompey, who was also one of the Big Three, was fighting Gustav.

The two Roman commanders immediately led the way to meet Pompey.

Although Pompey's Roman legions were enough to compete with Caesar, Gustav did not have ordinary troops, but firearms that appeared much later than the Roman legions!

To the west of the Horqin grassland, the remnants of the Khitan tribe recuperated here, and the Liaodong Army's attack on the Khitan tribe led to the decline of the Khitan tribe.

The remaining Yelu Huge, Yelu Xianzhen, Xiao Siwen and others lost their leader Yelu Abaoji, and the dragons had no leader, and no one could replace Yelu Abaoji, but a few surviving generals jointly decided the fate of the Khitan tribe.

The current Khitan tribe no longer dares to claim to be the Liao State, at most the level of a tribe.

"There are three other paths in front of us, one of which is that we, like other tribes, will continue to graze and recuperate in this grassland. Maybe in a hundred or two hundred years, our Khitan tribe will become a powerful kingdom again, but it is more likely that our descendants will be defeated by other tribes and become captives of other tribes. ”

"Second, we gradually annexed the surrounding tribes and established the kingdom again. But we lack a powerful figure to lead us to re-establish a kingdom, and once we grow big again, the Liaodong army may come back and wipe us out completely. Even the Xia King of the Han Empire would not allow a kingdom to be established in his sphere of influence. ”

"Third, we are looking for a powerful force, as a vassal, we can get shelter, you can also get high-ranking officials, the price to pay is conscription, and you may be used as cannon fodder."

The surviving Khitan warriors gathered around the fire to discuss the future of the Khitan tribe.

The Liao State has been destroyed, and they must negotiate to stay.

The current Khitan tribe, the population that fled from all over the country, only more than 100,000 remains.

In the civilized area of the Han Empire, there were quite a few tribes with a population of 100,000, so the Khitan tribe had no advantage over other tribes. However, most of the surviving Khitan tribes are veterans, and there are a few generals who can take charge on their own, and if they really want to conquer the other tribes around them, then they may be able to do so, and even consider re-establishing the Liao State.

It's a pity that without Yelu Abaoji, they lack a powerful leader-level figure.

In addition to Yelu Abaoji, Xiao Xuan also has the ability to serve as the leader of the Khitan tribe, but she is even more in the hands of Chu Tian, and she is unable to lead the Khitan tribe to glory again.

"Helan Mountain, the Tuoba Xianbei tribe sent people here!"

While the remnants of the Khitan tribe were discussing the future of the Khitan tribe, Tuoba Tao, who was recuperating in Helan Mountain, took the initiative to send people to contact the Khitan tribe, and his ambition was obvious, wanting to subdue the Khitan tribe for his own use.

Tuoba Tao values the two generals of Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xianzhen, as well as tens of thousands of Khitan elite soldiers.

"We, Lord Tuoba, are willing to work with you to achieve great things, if you can be king in the future, then you will definitely seal ten thousand households and reward tens of thousands of slaves."

Cui Hao, the military advisor of Tuoba Xianbei, volunteered to lobby the Xianbei tribe.

Cui Hao, relative to Tuoba Tao, the leader of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe, is quite Xun Yu to Cao Cao.

The two Khitan pillars, Yelu Huge and Yelu Xuan, glanced at each other, and then said to Cui Hao: "We already understand your intentions, and we will consider the proposal of Lord Tuoba Xianbei." ”

"You should think about it, with your identity as the old city of Liao, whether it is King Xia or King Ming, it may not be good to you in the future. But our lords are not, we are willing to share the world with you in the future, and even crown the three Liao kings. ”

Cui Hao proposed to be crowned king, so that this group of Khitan generals couldn't help but be a little moved.

He had already seen that the remaining remnants of the Khitan tribe were mainly Yelu Huge, Yelu Xianzhen and Xiao Siwen who were presiding over major affairs, so he took matters into his own hands and promised the three of them the king.

Xiao Siwen was hesitating, his daughter was with King Xia, and if it was possible, Xiao Siwen was more inclined to consider joining King Xia.
