On the banks of the Dudu River, Yelu Zhirang led the cavalry of the Eight Tribes of the Eight Tribes to move forward slowly. The Eight Tribe is a famous tribe in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom and is known as the Wugu tribe. In fact, the two tribes were originally of the same origin. The Liao Kingdom first conquered the Wugu tribe, and later the Eight Tribe also surrendered to the Liao Kingdom, so both tribes became vassals of the Liao Kingdom.

However, at the beginning, the relationship between the enemy Lie tribe and the Wugu tribe and the Liao Kingdom was not very harmonious, and the two tribes rebelled against the Liao Kingdom at times. It was not until Xiao Talin took over the northwest that the two tribes returned to their hearts. The Liao Kingdom also established the Wugu Nei Lie Army Command in the northwest, making the northwest officially the territory of the Liao Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Talin was the commander of the Liao Kingdom who was shot to death by the Song army with a crossbow during the Chanyuan Alliance. It was precisely because of his death that the Song and Liao Dynasty Alliance was achieved.

However, although the Eight Tribes of the Neighbors surrendered, with the decline of the Liao Kingdom over the years and the fact that Yelu Zong was really arbitrarily and reckless, the local forces in the Liao Kingdom were also quite disinterested. When Yelu Renxian led his troops to attack Dangxiang, both the Neighbors and the Wugu tribe refused to send troops, so their strength was preserved very well.

After Yelu Renxian's efforts in the past two years, and Yelu Zongzhen seemed to have realized some of his mistakes, he began to regain the hearts of local forces one by one. For example, Yelu Zongzhen accepted the women of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions as concubines and gave them these eight divisions generously, which made the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight Divisions of the Eight

Of course, the reason why the Eight Tribes of the Eight Tribes of the Neighbors was not only because they followed Yelu Zongzhen's orders. In addition, the rise of the Dangxiang people also threatened the survival of the Eight Tribes of the Neighbors. Especially after Li Yuanhao occupied Zhenzhou with abundant water and grass, he even seized the living space of the Neighbors' tribe, which made the Eighbors hated the Dangxiang people to the core.

However, the Epire Lie tribe is not a monolithic piece. The reason why it is called the Epire Lie tribe is because it is composed of eight large tribes, namely Dire, Dire, Dire, Dire, and Dalide. The eight tribes also have conflicts and fight endlessly between them, and there is no way to unite to resist Dangxiang.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, under the command of Yelu Zongzhen, these eight tribes temporarily put aside their conflicts and jointly sent troops to attack Dangxiang, while this team was commanded by Yelu Zhirang. As for Yelu Renxian, he did not come this time.

Thinking of Yelu Renxian, Yelu Zhirang thought of what Yelu Renxian had personally told him before he sent troops. Regarding this military service, Yelu Renxian explained it very clearly. Although they formed an alliance with the Song Dynasty to attack Dangxiang, it would not be good news for their Liao Kingdom to completely eliminate Dangxiang, because it would make the Song Dynasty without any restraint. At that time, the Song Dynasty would definitely turn all its attention to their Liao Kingdom.

So Yelu Renxian told Yelu Zhirang that this time the troops were just a gesture. It would be better to spend more time on the road. Even if you meet Dangxiang people, don’t fight them head-on. Anyway, you can just drag them down. If the main force on the battlefield is handed over to the Song army, it is best to let the Song army and Dangxiang people fight both sides, so that their Liao Kingdom can only benefit from it.

Thinking of the above, Yelu Zhirang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They have been at a disadvantage in the struggle with the Song Dynasty over the years. In addition, Yelu Zong was really too stubborn, which made them Liao Kingdom miss many opportunities. Thanks to Yelu Ren running around first, which gave them Liao Kingdom a glimmer of hope.

"General, the sphere of influence of the Bu tribe is ahead. Should we be prepared?" At this moment, someone suddenly came to report.

The Bu tribe was a large tribe near Zhenzhou and was originally dependent on the Liao Kingdom. However, since Yelu Renxian was defeated and lost Zhenzhou, the Bu tribe also surrendered to Li Yuanhao very wisely and became a barrier for Li Yuanhao to the east. He even obeyed Li Yuanhao's orders many times to invade the territory of the enemy Lieba tribe.

There were already conflicts between the Eight Tribes of the Enemy Lie and the Bu tribe. In the past, even under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, they fought each other continuously. Now that the Bu tribe has turned to the Dangxiang people, the fight with the Eight Tribes of the Enemy Lie is naturally more intense, and it can even be said to be a mortal hatred. Now Yelu Zhirang is full of the Eight Tribes of the Enemy Lie, so they are very careful when facing the Bu tribe.

Yelu Zhirang showed a thoughtful look when he heard this. He was no longer the young boy he had back then. His military career over the years also made him grow into a calm general. In addition, he thought of Yelu Renxian’s previous explanation, so he quickly said, “The whole army will suspend its advance and send people to surrender to the Bu tribe. If they are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Your Majesty can leave it alone!”

Although Yelu Zongzhen did not give Yelu Zhirang the order to surrender the Bu tribe, as the commander of the former army, he naturally had certain power. Moreover, the tribes on the grassland were fences and would rely on whoever they were stronger. Therefore, they had been used to it for a long time. As long as the Bu tribe was willing to return, Yelu Zongzhen would definitely accept it happily. After all, even a nominal surrender could increase his reputation.

Originally, Yelu Zhirang had no confidence in the surrender of the Bu Ministry. His main purpose was to delay time. It would be best to make the Song army fight Dangxiang early, and then he would go up and pick up the bargain.

However, what Yelu Zhirang never expected was that just as he sent the surrendered people, the next day, several large tribes of the Bu tribe sent people together and expressed their willingness to return to the Liao Dynasty. They also brought extremely important news to Yelu Zhirang.

At the same time, Cao Ma, who had already led his army until the northern border of the Weifu Army of the Black Mountains, immediately ordered the dispatch of troops to Dangxiang after a period of preparation. Some time ago, the court had given him the power to send troops, and all logistics were also prepared. With his order, a hundred thousand troops crossed the border and rushed towards another important military city of Dangxiang.

Fangzhou is located in the north of Weifu Army of Heishan and the south of Zhenzhou. It can be said that it is the only way for the Song army to attack Zhenzhou. Long before sending troops, the Song Dynasty had already figured out the situation of Fangzhou. There were 10,000 Dangxiang people stationed here, and there was also a 30,000 grassland people army that could be summoned at any time. It was mainly to guard against the attack of the Song army. It can be said that Fangzhou was a fortress on the Dangxiang border.

When the army left the country, the grassland was also shocked. After seeing the banner of the Song army, some small tribes on the border immediately fled northward, and even some large tribes avoided it. After all, the relationship between these border tribes and Dangxiang was not very close, and there was no need to have conflicts with the Song army for Dangxiang. .
