Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1262 Who Supports Who Opposes
Yelvhadi is attacking Abaoji in the pine forest.

"Abaoji, Yingzhou has been breached, who are the Gao family brothers you value?" Xiadi said angrily: "Once Yingzhou was lost, the Xia people went northward in a big way, directly into our pasture, what do you say?" what to do?"

Abaoji was left speechless by the question.

He really had nothing to say in this matter.A mistake is a mistake, he trusts the Han people too much, and is too obsessed with the Han land.Although this is the only way to build a great dynasty, it is hard to escape the blame for causing such a catastrophe.

A Baoji didn't speak, and his cronies were a little anxious, and cursed at Xia Di.

"Jiadi, have you forgotten the achievements of Abaoji's previous conquests and conquests? Even Yingzhou, most of which were taken by Abaoji, what kind of thing is it for you to sit back and enjoy the success?" The first jumped out and asked.

Yeluhadi sneered, and said disdainfully: "Yuwen, what is your identity? Do you think you are from the Yelu clan by pretending to be Yelu? Go away, I'm asking Abaoji."

Yuwen is from Tulu Bubu, and has a good relationship with Abaoji and his family.During the civil strife in the Yelu clan, after the death of Abaoji's grandfather Yeluyun Deshi, the orphans and widows were in dire straits. His grandfather Taiya, who wanted to be stable, once extended a helping hand.

The existence of this kindness makes the relationship between the two families very close, and A Baoji also trusts him very much.

"Old thief!" The younger brother Xia Li who was trying to be stable pulled out a knife and said angrily, "Do you dare to fight me?"

"I'll fight with you!" Dielite, the son of Hadi, took two steps forward, holding a knife in his hand.

After Xiali and Dielite faced each other, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The struggle for power on the grassland has always been very bloody.They don't know how to save face, they don't know how to play dirty tricks, they just do it, and whoever wins gets what he says.

After a short while, there were more than ten people standing behind each of Xiali and Dielite, who seemed to be fighting.

"Jiadi, what are you planning?" A Baoji said suddenly: "Xia's soldiers went to the pine forest on the flat ground and divided them into four directions. We gathered here to repel them. But you are fine. Too strong, do you want a wave of civil strife first? What are you thinking? If you want to make trouble, you have to wait until the Xia people are defeated first."

"Abaoji, I don't want to do anything else. I'm only worried that the foundation created by the ancestors of Nili will be destroyed in your hands." Judi resisted and said: "Back then, the Dahe Clan alliance disappeared, and the various ministries suffered heavy losses. It was hard to clean up the embers and develop. Up to now, we have seen prosperity again. Abaoji, I just want to ask you, how is the strength of the eight Khitan tribes compared to the eight tribes of the Dahe clan?"

"Naturally, it is better than before." A Baoji said.

"You also know that it is better than before, but it is difficult to even fight against Youzhou Town. When you gather a large army, you can only take advantage of their main force not to go to the Central Plains to fight. You can only rob and run away, and you still have to worry about retaliation." Said: "Now that the Central Plains is about to be unified, Shao Shude's soldiers number in the millions, how is it compared to the Khitan's 50 cavalry?"

A Baoji hated it in his heart.

This old thief under the jurisdiction, every word is inseparable from Khitan's failure.It was as if Khitan was defeated, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Jiadi, my army has gathered in the pine forest on the flat ground, and you can decide whether to win or lose before the battle with the Xia thief?" A Baoji asked.

"I don't know whether to win or lose. Anyway, Yingzhou lost. A Baoji, you did have a lot of credit in the past, but you lost more than [-] people in the Western Expedition the year before last, and many people were detained by Li Keyong. He But your brother-in-law. The land of Southern Liao was originally snatched from the people of Bohai with all our efforts. You were not prepared to be taken away easily. Shilu wiped your ass for you, assembled for battle, and lost thousands of soldiers Now there is another defeat in Yingzhou, and your most trusted Han officials and generals have betrayed you and the Khitan, causing us heavy losses. With these three defeats, what else can we say?"

"What do you want?" A Baoji calmed down and asked.

"It's not what I want, it's you who want to give everyone an explanation." Hedi said: "For your ambition, each ministry has paid out men, grain, cattle and sheep, and accompanied you to fight to the east and kill to the west, but the result is very little. , a lot of casualties, don't you want to say something?"

"Jiadi, this is your fault. Last year when you attacked the Bohai Sea and plundered a lot of people, all the ministries benefited from it. You also got more than [-] slaves. Why did you get so little when you came here? Be a man. You have to be conscientious." The brothers Yelu Helu and Yelu Yu yelled almost at the same time.

"Helu..." Xiadi suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know that Shilu once wanted to cultivate you? Abaoji's current status was originally yours."

Yelu Helu's face remained unchanged, and he scolded: "A Baoji and I are as strong as gold, there is no need for you to provoke."

Jidi didn't answer his words at all, and looked at Yelu Yuzhi again, saying: "Wuli, your unmarried wife is already Shao Shude's plaything. All of this is A Baoji's fault, you just— "

"Get out!" Yelu Yu's face was flushed red, and he went forward with Gu Duo, but was held back.

Yelvhadi sneered again and again, as if he didn't take this brat seriously.

"Jiadi, how long are you going to make trouble?" A Baoji asked with a cold face: "The great enemy is now, if we continue to make trouble like this, we will all be Khitan's sinners, I'm sorry for Niriya ancestor."

Hearing this sentence, Xia Di was slightly moved in his heart, he was silent for a while, and said: "You have done so many wrong things, it's time to resign from the Alliance and Diela Department Yi Li Jin."

A Baoji laughed suddenly, and said: "So you are eyeing this position. Xia Di, let me ask you, let you be Yi Li Jin, can you do it?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Xia Di said seriously: "Even if I should be Yi Li Jin or not, it has nothing to do with you, everyone will vote on it."

After finishing speaking, Xia Di turned his attention to the hundreds of distinguished people present.

A Baoji also looked at them, but saw some people avoiding his gaze, not daring to look at each other.

A Baoji felt sad, his younger brother Diela and others were among them.Even the younger brothers didn't support him anymore. It was in vain that he distributed slaves, equipment, cattle and sheep to the younger brothers to strengthen their strength.

Now it seems that everything has been fed to the dog - no, it is worse than that, and the dog will wag its tail twice.

For a moment, A Baoji wanted to kill all these people.Xuan also thought that this move would definitely lead to civil strife in the Die's tribe and damage its strength.When the foreign enemy is present, it will only benefit the Xia people and some other tribes.

The Diela tribe is his Diela tribe. If his strength is greatly reduced, what is the point of his hard work these years?

"Abaoji, if you agree or not, please give me a quick word." Judi yelled: "Shao Shude, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, has sent an envoy to the West Building. There is still a possibility of peace between the two countries, but the condition is to hand over you. As an uncle , I really can't bear to see you die at the hands of the Xia people, so as long as you resign, I will protect your life no matter what, and I won't hand you over."

"Negotiation..." A Baoji had a mocking smile on his lips.

"Diela, do you think so? The Xia people will let Khitan go?" A Baoji looked at his younger brother and asked.

Yeludie was a little flustered, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Abaoji, the Khitan has lost too badly in the past two years, and they urgently need to recuperate. It would be great if we can negotiate a peace."

"Trash!" A Baoji scolded angrily, then looked at his third brother, and asked forcefully, "Yindishi, do you think so too?"

"Abaoji, it's better to discuss peace with the Xia people first. After he retreats, let's go to fight Bohai and restore our strength. Wouldn't it be better to have a decisive battle with the Xia people after we grow stronger?" Yeluyin Dishi said.

"Trash!" A Baoji mourned in his heart, Khitan was finished, and his energy and energy were all wiped out!
He has no interest in talking to these scumbags anymore.He would rather come to force the palace against him than fight to the death with the Xia people. This kind of Khitan is not the Khitan he imagined.

Now he just wants to go back to the tribe and see his wife and children.

Moon Lido is resourceful.Over the years, she has been the one who made suggestions step by step, managed the tribe, and even trained elite soldiers for him.

The success of the Diela tribe is certainly based on the powerful strength passed down from the ancestors, but his bravery and Yue Liduo's strategy are also indispensable.

Forget it, I don't know the same as these people.If they die, let them do it. Sooner or later, they will come back and beg for themselves.

A Baoji snorted coldly, turned and left.

Seeing this, Yuwen, Haili, Helu and other cronies cast a look of hatred at Hedi, and followed them.

******
The midsummer in the mountains was actually not that hot. Yue Liduo sat on the hillside, resting her chin on her right hand, quietly watching the herds of cattle, sheep and horses in the valley.

This is the pasture of the Uighur Shulu Department.

The strength of the Law Department has grown rapidly in recent years, and now it has more than [-] accounts/accounts and more than [-] people.

Naturally, these people were not all Uighurs, they mixed with many Khitan, Bohai, Han'er, Shiwei, Tatar and other tribes, it was very mixed.

In the final analysis, the Shulu Department is actually a man-made tribe.

When the Uyghurs were powerful, Khitan controlled them—"In the age of the Yaonian family, they were sealed by the Uyghurs. When Yelan Khan asked for a seal in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong bestowed the 'Fengguo Khitan Seal'."

In order to control the Khitan, the Uyghur royal court also sent many officials to supervise them-"At the beginning, Xi and Khitan belonged to the Uyghur, and each had supervisors, who supervised their tribute every year."

The Uighurs who supervised Liubuxi were out of luck.In the Wuzong Dynasty, Zhang Zhongwu, the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou, conquered the Xi people, defeated them, and killed more than [-] Uighur emissaries.Because the Khitan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs who stayed in the Khitan pastures survived.

Khitan is an extremely backward tribal alliance.The Uighurs have royal courts, cities, writing, and officials at all levels, and their civilization is much higher than that of Khitan.Therefore, the Uyghurs who remained in Khitan still retained a strong influence. They united with each other to form a tribe. At the same time, they vigorously absorbed the Uyghurs scattered on the grassland to strengthen their own strength.

Shuluping's ancestors were nobles sent by the Uighur court to supervise Khitan.After the demise of the Uyghur Khanate, the Shulu clan, as a great nobleman, took the lead in forming a tribe and named it after their family.In today's Shulu Department, Shulu's "shares" are the largest.

Shuluping’s great-grandfather, Wei Ning, was a Uyghur “relic”—relic equivalent to aristocratic origin, but without the status of an official.

Wei Ning gave birth to a son and thought carefully, and served as the "Meili" of the Uyghur - Uighur senior officials and prime ministers are all called "Meili".

Shensi gave birth to a moon bowl, and the moon bowl has also made "Meili", but I don't know whether it is the Uighur Meili or the Khitan Meili.

Of course, most of the important official positions in Khitan originally came from the Uyghurs. For example, Yi Lijin is the Khitan transliteration of the Uyghur "tribal chief" official position; Yu Yue is the Uyghur "advisor, prime minister" transliteration; , financial officials" - and the names of these Uyghur official positions come from Turkic.

The aristocrats of the Shulu tribe intermarried with the most powerful Deira tribe among the eight tribes of Khitan, and they had a close relationship, which is also a way to survive.

After Shuluyuewan's death, Shuluping, who was married to Abaoji, with the support of her husband, quickly settled the competitors and actually controlled the tribe, at least in name.

She has real power and is also a ruthless person.

She not only knows how to manage the tribe, but also has her own opinions on management and personnel affairs. At the same time, she "bravely decides to change things" and makes suggestions for A Baoji.

In history, Abaoji marched west to the party, and Shuluping stayed behind to take charge of all affairs.Shi Wei took advantage of Xu to invade the south, Shu Luping personally led the attack, set up an ambush on the way, and defeated Shi Wei, "famous in the desert".

During the rebellion among the younger brothers, Abaoji did not react quickly enough. Shuluping personally persuaded him, and at the same time put on armor and wielded blades, and commanded Abaoji's personal soldiers to crush the rebellion.

Before the founding of Abaoji, Shuluping integrated his own forces, selected elites from the Shulu Ministry, and selected elites from the captives, established the "Shushan Army", led by the nobles of the Shulu Ministry, and set up a plan for Abaoji's battle. After making great contributions, the staff expanded steadily, and there were more than [-] people at this time.

Shu Luping is a well-behaved wife in front of A Baoji, who feeds the horses, milks the milk, cooks, and takes care of the children herself, but this is only her side.

Everyone has another side, which can surprise you sometimes.

For a woman like Shuluping, if the man is strong enough, she can be well-behaved, take care of her husband and teach her children with peace of mind, occasionally show her strength in critical moments, lead the army to fight, defeat the thieves, and then continue to serve her husband's great cause.On the internet in the 21st century later generations, a woman like Shuluping is the standard model of a "female emperor". It is a perfect match for youth who do not want to work hard.

But the lying young man really can't control this kind of woman...

Shu Luping and A Baoji are mutual achievements, and the one is indispensable, but at this time she encountered a little difficulty.

"Sister, the situation is very bad now. The governor is in trouble, and there are many followers. According to the news from the West Tower, Khan Hendejin also supports the governor. As a result, Abaoji was forced to resign from the Diela tribe. Jin and Babuyi are leaving Jin's position." Shulu Porun frowned and said, "Shilu is in Yinliangchuan, so he will probably be implicated as well."

"Mother..." Shu Luping looked at the younger brother with reproachful eyes.

Po Run lowered her head.

"You are a brave and foolish person until your death." Shuluping sighed, and said: "What? Seeing that Shilu and Abaoji are in trouble, do you want Shulubu to take care of themselves?"

"It's not just me who thinks so." Po Run raised her head and said, "Among the clan leaders, there are many people who are afraid. However, they all listen to you and are waiting for your opinion."

"Let's go." Shu Luping stood up and said.

"Huh?" Po Run was a little surprised.

"Take good care of the tribe, and I will take it away if it belongs to the Shan army." Shuluping said.

"Where are you taking it?" Po-run asked.

"My head is going to the city." Shuluping said without turning his head.

Po Run realized that she was going back to support A Baoji.

Touxia City, also known as Touxia Junzhou.

The Khitan Eight Tribes originally lived as nomads, but during the long-term campaign, they captured a large number of Xi, Bohai, Han'er, Shiwei and other clans and became private slaves.At this time, a place is needed to house slaves.

The first thing to do is the Diela tribe, which is marked by the Diela Liubu Xi, but this is the "public property" of the tribe.The nobles of the tribes also had a large number of slaves, and they also had this need, so they built "private cities"—the ones that paid more attention to building walls for the city, and the ones who didn't pay attention to it were actually farms and pastures.

Yelu Shilu set a precedent for private cities, and other nobles followed suit and began to look for land to house slaves.After the development of these Touxia cities and Toxia military states, some of them became official military states in the Liao Dynasty.

Shuluping also has its own military prefecture. The military prefecture has cities and officials. There are thousands of households in Bohai and Han who can collect taxes. It is at her own disposal—before that, she gave it to A Baoji.

The private city has a very short history, only three or four years, and Shuluping's Touxia City was established only two years ago.

But in today's Khitan Eight, the development is very rapid, and the nobles are desperately trying to benefit themselves and increase their strength.

Abaoji encouraged this.He believes that this will increase the population of Khitan farming and settlements, and over time, it will be able to provide a large amount of grain, cloth, ironware and other commodities, which will have inestimable positive significance for the development of Khitan. Under the control of the machine, it is actually in an era of intense change, and the whole is making rapid progress.

Oh, by the way, Abaoji's head-down military prefecture is mainly in Yingzhou, and the city has not yet been built. It is hard to say how much he can keep this time-generally speaking, it is very likely that he will not be able to keep it.

After Shuluping left, Porun and her sister, Bodhisattva Nu, looked at each other, both worried.

The biggest backer, A Baoji, was in trouble, and some shallow-sighted leaders of the Law Department wanted to draw a line with A Baoji, and Porun was under a lot of pressure.

Bodhisattva Nu is the elder sister of Porun and Shuluping, who also married into the Diela tribe. Her husband is dead, and her only son, Yelu Laogu, also died in the hands of Xia Jun.

Her husband's family was not from the Yundeshi (A Baoji's grandfather) lineage, but the Fuguzhi lineage. The relationship with A Baoji was relatively distant, but this time he firmly stood by his side.The Bodhisattva slave didn't know what the future would hold, so he came to seek his sister's advice.Now it seems that it's not bad that my sister didn't scold her badly.

Alas, the god damn Shao Shude is extremely vicious, he killed my son and is full of malice towards Khitan.Aunt Ao said that he was the reincarnation of a lustful ghost who loves adulterous wives and daughters, why wasn't he accepted?
