Chapter 1065: Mother and son fight, even close relatives can be killed
There are 50,000 cavalrymen, all of whom are slaves.
The energy and blood strength of each Yinu Army is equivalent to that of a general from an ordinary family!
With such strength, not to mention the Khitan cavalry, even the most famous Xuanjia army in history, even if the tiger and leopard cavalry come, they have to get down!
What's more, Su Mingzhe also taught it to the army.
Relying on the military formation, on the grassland, 10,000 Yinu troops can fight against 50,000 grassland warriors.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
It is now the end of June.
Su Mingzhe looked at another exterminated prairie tribe in front of him, looking flatly into the distance.
In March, he set out to attack Mobei and headed eastward.
So far, the army has wiped out more than a dozen large grassland tribes with thousands of people, and countless small tribes.
If we continue to move forward, we will almost reach Shangjing, the core area of Khitan.
Duan Cunyi, the general of the rear army who was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, came on horseback to report:
"Your Majesty! The battlefield has been cleared, and more than 5,000 women and children, and more than 80,000 livestock have been captured..."
"Send back to customs as usual!"
Su Mingzhe didn't care about the life or death of these grassland tribes at all, unless...there were stunning beauties in the tribes who could attract his attention.
Not long after, Li Yuanjie from the sentry camp came to report:
"Your Majesty, the Khitan tribe two hundred miles to the north has already known of our arrival and is hurriedly fleeing eastward!"
"The army rests for the night and will pursue us again tomorrow morning!"
When Su Mingzhe went on the expedition, he had a total of 50,000 troops around him. He kept dividing his troops to attack, plus he had to send people to send loot back to the pass, as well as casualties, so now there are only more than 13,000 people left around him.
Seeing that the Khitan was getting closer and closer to the capital, Su Mingzhe did not want to divide his troops.
…
As more and more Khitan tribes were wiped out.
Khitan Nabo has returned to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.
Nabo is where the Khitan Khan camped.
Today's Khitan Khan Yelv Deguang is sitting in the Golden Palace of Linhuang Mansion, looking at the ministers with dull eyes.
As usual, the Empress Dowager Shu Luping presided over the affairs of the court.
I saw her rosy face with a sinister look on her face, her phoenix eyes showing no anger, and her imposing aura. She said in a calm tone:
"Everyone, the latest news is that the Bai Dadan tribe and the Chazha Ci tribe have also been defeated by the Han army."
"Today, the Han people are coming in force. Have you assembled your army yet?"
General Yelu Pode immediately stood up and reported:
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Pishi Army has been assembled!"
Shuluping nodded with satisfaction.
The Pishi Army is the bodyguard of the Khitan Khan. They have always been loyal and never compromised in the face of the orders of the Queen Mother and the Khan.
However, the number of the Pishi Army is a bit small, with only more than 30,000 people, and they will definitely not be able to match the powerful Han army.
At this time, another general stood up and reported:
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Shan's army has been assembled!"
There are more than 20,000 people in the Shushan Army. They were the guards recruited by Shuluping after the death of Yelu Abaoji.
These Shan troops belong to Shuluping's private soldiers. Now that the situation is dangerous, Shuluping has also 'contributed' to them.
Shuluping looked at the other tribal chiefs and asked in a calm tone:
"Everyone, it has been a month since the Khan gave the order. Haven't you brought over the Khitan warriors from the tribe?"
More than a dozen tribal chiefs looked around and then each reported the gathering situation.
Although Yelu Abaoji officially unified the Khitan, military power was still distributed in the hands of various tribal chiefs.
These tribal chiefs were not willing to use all their troops to protect a queen mother who bullied and oppressed them.
Therefore, these dozen tribal chiefs searched and searched individually, and finally gathered a total of 120,000 Khitan warriors.
On average, a tribe could not even muster 10,000 warriors.
One of the tribal chiefs also gave the reason:
"Queen Mother, at the beginning of the year, you ordered all the tribes to send troops to assist the Liang Kingdom. At that time, our tribe had already sent out five thousand troops. Now it is the limit to send out eight thousand more troops. Otherwise, we will not be able to suppress the Jurchens below. .”
Naturally, Shuluping was very dissatisfied with the wise actions of these tribal chiefs to protect themselves.
When Yelu Abaoji was still there, the Khitan Kingdom had millions of warriors.
After deducting the 100,000 troops who reinforced Liang, deducting one-third of the tribes defeated by the Han army, and deducting the tens of thousands of Bohai navy under the name of the former prince Yelvbei, there should be at least four to five million troops.
As a result, only 170,000 people can be gathered now. It is obvious that these tribes are hiding their secrets.
"Queen Mother, that should be enough!"
Yelu Deguang, who had been acting as the background wall, saw that his mother was still trying to force her to persuade the chiefs of various tribes to come forward. He felt that the time had come for him to win over people's hearts, so he said:
"I heard that the total number of Han troops is only 50,000. We have already assembled 170,000 Khitan warriors, which should be enough to deal with them!"
After hearing what his son said, Shuluping immediately refuted:
"Each of the sons of the Han family can equal one to five. We only have 170,000 people. How can we be the opponent of the Han army? In the opinion of the Ai family, if we want to win the Han army steadily, we will need at least 350,000 to 400,000 Khitans." Only warriors can do it!”
"Mother, you are trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
Yelu Deguang is now twenty-six or seven years old, but the power of the court has always been firmly controlled by his mother.
As time went by, most of his original gratitude to his mother had dissipated, and all that was left was his desire for power.
Therefore, when Shuluping tried his best to persecute the tribal chiefs, Yelu Deguang worked hard to protect the interests of these tribal chiefs in order to win people's hearts.
In front of everyone, the mother and son had a quarrel.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue!
Seeing the mother and son turning against each other, the tribal chiefs quickly expressed their agreement with Yelv Deguang's words for their own benefit.
Although Shuluping controlled the Khitan government, he had no power to refute everyone.
In desperation, we could only decide on the strategy of 170,000 Khitan warriors fighting against 50,000 Han troops.
The deliberation is over.
When Shuluping returned to the harem, his face immediately turned gloomy.
At this moment, murderous intent arose in her heart.
Shulu Ping and Yelu Abaoji had three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son Yelvbei is now the King of Dongdan and occupies the territory of the former Bohai Kingdom.
The second son, Yelu Deguang, is now the Khitan Khan.
The third son, Yelu Lihu, is not yet an adult.
Daughter Yelu Zhigu, the oldest, married her uncle Xiao Shilu and gave birth to her daughter Xiao Wen.
(Yeluzhigu is Princess Aogu in the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon".)
After the death of Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Deguang married Xiao Wen, who was only twelve years old and was both his niece and cousin in order to win his mother's consent to become Khan.
Now, for the sake of power, Yelu Deguang began to fall out with his mother, Shu Luping.
Shu Luping was able to tamper with her husband Yelu Abaoji's will and drive his eldest son Yelu Bei into dust. Now he can continue to deal with his second son Yelu Deguang for the sake of power.
After all, Demon Queen Wuzhou, whom Shuluping admired most, once said:
'If you want to achieve great things, you can even kill your closest relatives!'
It is easy to kill Yelu Deguang. The problem is how to push the third son Yelu Lihu to the position of Khan.
After all, the original crown prince Yelvbei is still alive!
"After we defeat the Han army, we will find an opportunity to kill these two unfilial sons!"
The desire for power in Shu Luping's heart turned into a raging flame, constantly burning her little family affection.
