The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328 Rise of Liao Kingdom
In this way, the first Buddhist and Taoist Conference came to a successful conclusion, and Lu Heng's goal was almost fully realized. During the period, he took time to watch the construction of the Mulan Boat. Unfortunately, it seems that it will take next year to see the first Mulan boat.

There is nothing to do in Moling, and it has been almost a month since he left his daughter. It has been winter, and Lu Heng misses Xiao Nishang very much, so he decides to go to Hefei. He may spend the New Year in Hefei this year.

There were four more people on the way back, including Du Gao, Li Zhu, Deng Yuanjue, Li Xunquan and Lu Heng Hefei.

Li Zhu is naturally a member of the counselor group. His super-high swordsmanship is both a bodyguard and a staff officer. At the same time, he can help Lu Heng protect Yu Yunwen, Ding Wei and other counselors.

Du Gao's ability to fight defensive battles is extremely strong. Lu Heng first brought Du Gao with him to let Du Gao establish the defense system of Shouchun and Hefei, which will be of great use later.

Deng Yuanjue joined the bodyguard and became the new fifth idiot. Ji Ling transferred the bodyguard to serve as the deputy general when he was about to return to Shouchun, and Shangguanyi was promoted to the fourth idiot.

However, Lu Heng plans to form a personal guard infantry similar to Cao Cao's Tiger Guard Battalion, with Deng Yuanjue as the chief general and Shangguanyi as the deputy general. In Lu Heng's vision, this personal guard is all heavy armored infantry, but they pay more attention to defense and weapons. It is very likely that it is not a Panlong stick, but a combination of a shield and a big knife.

Of course, this is just an idea in Lu Heng's mind, let's not mention Lu Heng's eagerness to see his daughter in Hefei.

Focusing on Lu Heng's old enemies, Li Jiqian decided to recuperate for a year after mobilizing troops continuously. At the same time, he wanted to see if Zhang Xiu would cause friction between Ma Teng and Han Sui after Zhang Xiu returned to Xiliang. In short, Li Jiqian did not mobilize troops this year.

But Yelu Abaoji, who was far away in the Western Regions, annexed the entire Cheshi Kingdom. After the newly established Liao Kingdom, within a year, relying on the Han family of Xiao Siwen, Han Derang, and Han Yanhui to govern the Liao Kingdom, the national power has become stronger and stronger!

The six kingdoms of Shanbei, Pulei, Puleihou, Huhu, Cheshiweidu, Beiluhou, and Xiqiemi formed a coalition to resist the annexation of Liao.

However, Yelu Abaoji first dispatched Yelu Xiezhen to lead the giants Wu Yanguang and Yelu Talie to attack the Beilu Houguo in the northwest. In the first battle, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations were destroyed before they united The morale of the country plummeted.

At the same time, Yelu Abaoji, who brought the power of destroying the country, personally led Yeluxiu, Xiao Talin, Yelu Helu, Yelu Xigao, Yelu Wuzhi, Gao Mohan and other elites to make their way out, and a group of Cheshi was wiped out, named Cheshi Duwei country of countries.

The king of Cheshi Duwei fled to Pulei to unite with the remaining four-nation coalition, and was defeated after attacking Liao. Pulei and Pulei queen were killed. King Huhu surrendered. General Yelu Xiuge was sent to step into the palace, and King Xqiemi set himself on fire and died.

Since then, there is only the Liao Kingdom in the vast area to the northeast of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. It is bordered by the Northern Huns to the north, and there are two small countries, Yanqi and Wutanzi, in the west. Further west is Wusun, a traditional power in the Western Regions.

After Wusun was defeated by the Yuezhi, Wusun King Nandoumi was beheaded by the Yuezhi, leaving only a young son, Jiaomi, who was adopted by Maodun and established after the restoration of the country. It is one of the most powerful countries in the Western Regions.

The kings of Yanqi and Uganda did not want to sit still, and contacted Shanshan, a powerful country in the south of the Western Regions, for rescue. The two countries said that if the Liao Dynasty wiped out Yanqi and Uganda, then the next target would not be the mighty Wusun and the Northern Huns. It is the Shanshan Kingdom in the south!
The name Shanshan is inconspicuous, but when it comes to the original name of Shanshan, it is famous, it is the ancient Loulan country that lives on the south bank of Lop Nur!
In the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty (the Taklimakan desert in Xinjiang desertified a large area later), Lop Nur was still a relatively large lake, which was the throat of the Silk Road. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the natural diversion of the Tarim River and Kongque River, the water storage capacity of Lop Nur decrease year by year.

In 77 BC, Fu Jiezi, a warrior of the Western Han Dynasty and a famous diplomat, killed King Loulan and changed his country's name to Shanshan.

Today's Shanshan Kingdom is in the southeast of the Tarim Basin in the Western Regions, with Lop Nur as the boundary and the six countries north of the Tianshan Mountains.

The Shanshan Kingdom and Yelu Abaoji of the Liao Kingdom rose at about the same time, and successively annexed the seven countries of Khotan, Ruoqiang, Ronglu, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Qiemo, and Moshan. Why did the Shanshan Kingdom rise?

Che Shi Hou's rise was due to the emergence of a son-in-law, Yelu Abaoji, and Shanshan was originally one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions. With its original background, there appeared a character who should not appear in this era, Princess Babao. "Babao" was her title. , the natal Shuangyang is also called Princess Shuangyang!
This Princess Shuangyang is not a character of this era, but she is indeed a princess of Shanshan Kingdom. It is described as a character in Shanshan Kingdom in the Song Dynasty several hundred years later. Princess Shuangyang is superb in martial arts. The sun, the moon, and the horse.

At the same time, in addition to Princess Shuangyang, Wu Mahai, Tu Tianhu, Tu Tianlong and many other generals were born together. It was also because of these four that Shanshan Kingdom rose at a speed not weaker than Yelu Abaoji. Bordering each other, there must be a battle between the two powers!
Under the same circumstances, King Shanshan took it seriously, and after receiving the envoys from King Yanqi and King Wutan, he sent generals Wumahai, Tutianhu, and Tutianlong to garrison Moshan, and became horns with Yanqi and Wutan.

Every time Yelu Abaoji sent troops to swallow Yanqi and Wutao, Wumahai would send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom. The move is defeated, only Gao Mohan and Wu Yanguang can control it.

In the latest friction, Wu Mahai and Wu Yanguang fought for [-] rounds regardless of the outcome. Gao Mohan wanted to help but was stopped by two brothers, Tu Tianhu and Tu Tianlong.

Why did Princess Shuangyang and others appear?
Of course, it was the Lu Heng system that made the mess. Since Song Jiang, Fang La, Wang Qing and other four brothers appeared, and Li Jiqian's sworn enemy Tubo Zhesi also appeared on the west side, how could Yelu Abaoji's Liao Kingdom allow him to develop with such peace of mind? 36 countries in the Western Regions?

This Princess Shuangyang of Shanshan Kingdom is like Tubo's check and balance Li Jiqian, Shanshan Kingdom checks and balances Yelu Abaoji, which makes the latter very uncomfortable and asks how to deal with this Shanshan Kingdom.

"My lord, I have learned that there is a powerful country in the central part of the Western Regions called 'Kyucha'. It is rumored that the commander-in-chief of the Kucha soldiers and horses 'Tie Jin Gang Ma Mahan' has undue courage, and his martial arts are not inferior to Wu Yanguang and Gao Mohan. , but how about we form an alliance with Qiuci and divide Shanshan equally?"

"I am willing to send an envoy to Kucha to reach an alliance between the two parties!"

The one who spoke was Xiao Siwen, the prime minister of Yelu Abaoji. This person's foresight and foresight were not in line with Li Jiqian's proposition.

A conspiracy against Shanshan is about to unfold!
