Xiao Tianzuo felt that he had to see his niece. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell had to be tied. Yunzheng came for her, so he should stop fighting for her.
I just don’t know if my sister will encounter any obstacles... Xiao Tianzuo shook his head. I don’t think my sister is a sensible person. Under the current situation, the only ones who are willing to fight against the Yun family are those who don’t study.
The royal princes, these people stay in Shangjing, all of them are invincible in the world, even Yun Lan, the commander of Daweishan who is "unparalleled in bronze walls and iron walls, golden beams and jade pillars", is afraid that he can't compete with them, but it's a pity that they go to the battlefield.
Then he will definitely say immediately: "I am urgently ill and cannot come to court."
Xiao Tianzuo knew very well that the current Liao Kingdom still had the ability to fight against the elite main force of the Yun Family Army!
The military system of the Liao Kingdom is that for all civilians aged between fifteen and under fifty, each member of the army has one official soldier, three horses, three haymakers, and one servant each for guarding the camp.
Depends on their strength: four bows, four hundred arrows, long and short spears, spears, axes, small flags, hammers and awls, flint stones, horse bowls, a bucket, bags, and umbrellas, and two hundred horse ropes.
They all prepared their own men and horses without food and grass. Every day they sent out horsemen and horses to clear grass and plunder the goldfish talisman for the supply. They dispatched the army and horses to capture the horses and sent orders to have two hundred army houses with silver medals. There were also far-reaching expeditions to stop the horses.

The Liao army is roughly divided into palace army, tribal army, Jingzhou army and national army.
The palace account army is composed of strong men recruited from accounts directly under the emperor. It is a pro-army of the Khitan people for guarding and fighting. (In addition, the Liao system also has the theory of horizontal accounts, but since it is still a major controversy, Wufeng is not included.
) So compared to the Wei Dynasty, the Gongzhang Army was the Central Army of the Liao Dynasty
In order to form his own trusted guard, Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, "used the camp as a palace, selected thousands of powerful people from various tribes, and placed them in the heart and souls"
After stating the law, 20,000 elite soldiers from the Tibetan and Han Dynasties were also selected to form the Shan army.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, "Yi selected the finest armor from all over the world and placed all his minions into the Pishi Army."
After that, palace guards were built for generations and became custom-made. When the emperor died, the original palace guards were not disbanded, but turned into ordinary palace guards to serve the concubines' palace guards and guard the mausoleums. The new emperor reorganized his own palace guards, called "imperial guards".
military"
As a result, the number of palace troops in the Liao Kingdom has continued to increase. So far, the Liao Kingdom has had seven emperors, two empresses, and an emperor's brother. They have built 12 palaces and 1 mansion, and the total number of troops has reached more than 100,000.
The Khitan Palace Deployment Department and the Han Palace Deployment Department were established in each palace army. When the Khitan and Han military forces in charge of the palace encountered war, the old and the weak stayed on guard, and the young and strong went on the expedition, becoming the backbone of the Liao Dynasty's army.
Also belonging to the Forbidden Army of the Liao Dynasty were the Guards and Guards Army composed of Han people. They were under the jurisdiction of specialized agencies such as the Guards Guards and Horse Infantry Command and Envoy Department and the Guards and Crane Control Army and Horse Command and Envoy Department established in the Five Capitals. They were mainly responsible for guarding the Five Capitals.
and guarding strategic locations on the Liao-Wei border.
After the palace army, there is the tribal army
The law of the Liao Dynasty: "The emperor practices the position of palace guard, divides states and counties, analyzes tribes, establishes government offices, registers and registers, and prepares troops. When the horse is dead, the retinue will follow the concubine's palace tent. If the mausoleum is dispatched, the young and strong will serve in the army, and the old and weak will live in the palace."
Shou"
The number of guards in the palaces is 408,000, and the main household in Yongchang Palace is 8,000. According to the example of two ding per household in other palaces, the number of guards in the palaces should be 16,000.
410,000, cavalry 101,000
The tribal army is mainly composed of strong men from tribes other than Khitan and is used to guard the four sides.
In the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan and Xi people were organized into tribes. The purpose was to enable the Khitan and Xi people to continue to maintain their old wandering lifestyle and at the same time organize them into a powerful military force to deal with powerful enemies in the surrounding areas.
"The number is in the area of four battles. The tigers are in the middle. No one dares to pick up the sakura. I have the skills to control it."
Tribes are divided into three types:
The first type is the tribe, including the 20 tribes of Taizu and the 34 tribes of Shengzong, which are tribes in a narrow sense relative to the palace accounts. In order to avoid ambiguity, let’s temporarily change the name to tribe. After the founding of the Khitan, tribes served as centralized powers.
The tribal chief Jiedushi is an official appointed by the state.
The second type is the palace tent, including Zhuoruduo (twelve palaces and one mansion), nine tents in the distant chariot, three father's rooms in the horizontal tent, and five rooms in the country's uncle. The essential difference between the palace tent and the tribe is that it is led by a hereditary chief.
Clan organization, the identity of the heads of these clans is the hereditary lords under their heads. As mentioned above, palace accounts and tribes (i.e. tribes) are completely different in the Liao Kingdom and are never confused.
” is completely acceptable
The third type is the tribe, including the Fifth Academy, the Sixth Academy, and Prince Xi's Mansion. The "tribe" mentioned here is given a special meaning, and it refers to those who exist in the form of tribes, but include several tribes.
tribal organization
The above two types of troops are the main force of the Liao army. Usually when fighting, the cavalry is called "Wolf Cavalry"
In addition, there are the Jingzhou Army and the vassal army. The Jingzhou Army, also known as the Sanzhou Township Army, recruits strong men from the Han and Bohai ethnic groups in the five prefectures and counties in Jingdao to form the vassal army. The latter two troops are composed of strong men from the vassal country.
Auxiliary forces
Originally, the Jingzhou Army of the Liao Kingdom in history was the "Five States Township Army", but because the Central Plains Dynasty did not lose Yanjing and Datong, the Liao Kingdom lost two capitals in the south, leaving only three capitals. Originally, the five capitals were recorded.
The number of rural soldiers in the Liao Kingdom is 1,107,300, but in the current Liao Kingdom, there are only more than 700,000. This is one of the reasons why the Liao Kingdom in this world is not as "violent" as in the original world.
According to the current situation, the population of the Liao Kingdom is about 9-10 million. After war losses and re-expansion, the total number of troops is now about 800,000. However, because the Liao Kingdom is so vast, the west also needs to suppress Xixia, Mongolia and Central Asia.
There are nomadic peoples on the border, so the number of troops that can be mobilized in the eastern territory is just over 500,000.
And now the biggest trouble in the Liao Kingdom is the confrontation between the Jurchens and the Jurchens. There are nearly 400,000 troops in the fight. Facing the vast southern border of the Yun family, there are only about 100,000 people with the lowest combat effectiveness... among them there are many Han people.
Now this group of people has been basically wiped out under the overwhelming offensive of the Yun Family Army. There are still some troops in Zhongjing who are holding on, but everyone knows that those few people will never be able to stop the Yun Family Army.
Yes, the Yun family army is famous for being good at defense, but just because they are good at defense, they are more aware of the weaknesses of defensive warfare. At the same time, the Liao army is not good at defense. In comparison, the outcome is not determined.
It's already obvious
Another trouble is about the new weapons of the Yun Family Army, especially artillery and repeating crossbows. Xiao Tianzuo had already started to pay attention to the repeating crossbow when Ying Yangwei swept across Goryeo. To be honest, Xiao Tianzuo was really
Some people don't believe that those things that look like children's toys can fight? But the battle situation on the front line makes him believe that the power of artillery is really not weak.
He sadly discovered that the once powerful Liao Kingdom had fallen into such a state. Not only was its military strength stretched thin, but what was even more troublesome was that as long as the Yun family suddenly stopped aiding the Liao Kingdom, the 400,000 troops on the front line would immediately run out of food.
, in a month at most, I'm afraid there will be an armed massacre... Daliao really can't bear it anymore
I entered the palace in a daze, and somehow, I arrived at the Empress Dowager Xiao's place.
"What's the matter with my second brother here?" Queen Mother Xiao asked from above.
Only then did Xiao Tianzuo come to his senses, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am bold and want to see Princess Qionghua."
Empress Dowager Xiao did not look hesitant, but instead sighed: "I guess you are coming too... Go, at this moment, I am afraid that only Zhiqiong can save me Daliao once."
Xiao Tianzuo was silent, bowed and came out. Neither of the two siblings said a word.
Although Xiao Zhiqiong was under house arrest, Empress Dowager Xiao liked her in her heart after all, so the living environment was quite good. Although the yard was not big, the scenery was quite good.
"Who moves the fairyland under the beautiful tree? If February is light and August is frost, if Princess Shouyang is here, she will be ashamed to see plum blossoms falling."
Xiao Zhiqiong sat on a bench in the aisle and whispered quietly that this poem was given to her by Yunzheng when he first met her, and she always remembered it.
She also had a piece of paper in her hand, which read: "Wind and rain send spring back, and flying snow welcomes spring. The cliffs are already covered with ice, but there are still pretty flowers and branches that don't compete for spring. They just wait to announce the coming of spring. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she is among the bushes.
The song "Laugh" describes her as a "laughing plum" which is exactly the opposite of Beishan Wuxue's "arrogant plum".
As for what she thinks about the most, it is the slang phrase that makes fun of her: "Since the spring, the green is miserable and the red is red, the heart is full of things, but the sun is in the flowers, the warbler wears the willow belt, still lies under the scented quilt, and the warmth disappears.
, Niyun Xiangdan is sleepy and tired all day long and has nothing to do! Once the hatred is gone, there is no music or book. Why did I know it earlier? I regret that I didn’t lock the carved saddle to the chicken window, and only dealt with the wild paper elephant, restraining and teaching chanting.
Follow us in class and town, don’t throw away your needlework and idle around with Yi Zui and me, lest your young years go by in vain.”
Once the hatred and love are gone, there is no message - my Tanhualang, do you really want to forget Zhiqiong?
Xiao Zhiqiong looked at the gloomy sky that seemed like it might snow at any time, sighed softly, and felt a little miserable in her heart: Selling Nawu, you have so many confidants, but have you ever thought about me waiting alone in the North?
I only have you……
Xiao Zhiqiong had just folded the piece of paper in her hand and put it close to her body when she heard a voice outside the courtyard singing: "King Xiao from the North Courtyard is here!——"
Xiao Zhiqiong's heart moved
"Zhiqiong has met my uncle." Xiao Zhiqiong gave Xiao Tianzuo a slight blessing. This gift is a Han gift.
Xiao Tianzuo knew the meaning of Xiao Zhiqiong's actions, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Zhiqiong, uncle is here to save your life."
Xiao Zhiqiong's expression changed: "Why did uncle say this?"
Xiao Tianzuo closed his eyes, his face helpless and sad: "Yunzheng gathered 150,000 troops from Hebei and came overwhelmingly. These 150,000 troops are all the elite of the Northern Xinjiang Army. They are coming with an unstoppable force... I am afraid that Zhongjing has been lost."
