Big fish cannot survive in shallow water. This truth has never been missed. When Wanyan Bobo discovered that the area around Hun Tong River and Duck River was his natural hunting ground, he immediately felt that there was no need to focus on finding Keri Bo.
As long as they can build a city belonging to the Jurchens on the grassland, they will flock to it whether it is Keribao or other Jurchens.
Once this idea came up, Bobo moved unswervingly towards this goal. After a long period of plundering, he found that he had finally accumulated enough property, which was enough for him to build a castle in the wilderness.
Out of admiration for the Song Dynasty, Bobo conveyed the news that he was going to build a city to the wealthy merchants of the Song Dynasty through the Song caravans. Among them, the most interested in the city was the Shuzhong Trading Company.
He led his men to leave Xianping, Xian'an, and Weizhou. This time he did not simply evacuate, but took the Jurchens from eleven nearby states and counties to leave the area controlled by the Khitans.
A flat and fertile land was found between Xiangzhou and Huaide.
After worshiping the gods, Wanyan Bobo cut his palm, let the blood drip on the land, vowed to defend the land with his own life, and named the city to be built - Huanglong
Mansion!
When a country turns from prosperity to decline, there must be a chain to follow. The power of the Khitan people shrinks from all directions and inward, and they are no longer able to control so many Jisizhou.
In fact, since last year, the Khitan people in Bianzhou have been slowly retreating to the five capitals of east, south, west, upper, middle and middle in a planned way. However, with the withdrawal of the Khitan army, this year the Khitan people have shrunk inward.
The pace has quickened.
The obese Wu Gudu was now terminally ill. He lay emaciated in the carriage and allowed his son to drive the carriage to take him to the relatively safe Nanjing.
If possible, Wu Gudu is unwilling to leave his hometown, Wugu Dilietong Army Division, to live in Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing. If possible, he wants to exile himself to the barbarian area of Shangjing Road forever.
Now every time he takes a breath, there will be a rumbling sound in his throat. If it is in a silent night, it will be as clear as thunder. Of course, this feeling is just Wu Gudu's own thoughts. He is now afraid of seeing the sun.
, I was afraid of hearing noises, I couldn't sleep all night long, my hair fell out a lot, and everything I ate tasted tasteless.
The younger member of the family had found the best doctor to see him. The doctor made it very clear that as long as Wu Gudu could stop thinking all day long, his body would soon return to normal.
Wu Gudu didn't even know what he was thinking. He only knew one thing. As long as he closed his eyes, he felt like someone was gently peeling off his skin with a knife...
The grass outside the window has turned yellow, but on the distant horizon there are still Khitan people driving Lele chariots emerging from there, and then forming a thin queue, following the Wugudu team.
Wu Gudu knew that he wouldn't live long. That demon Yunzheng had hurt not only his body, but also his soul.
Now, whenever he sees the Khitan people, Wu Gudu will think of everything he did in Shenwu City. The three hundred thousand Lin Ya army was wiped out, Xiao Huoer died, Guo Hengchuan died, and he was the only one to lead the army.
Hundreds of clan soldiers guarded Shenwu City cautiously.
Everything was so beautiful, Xiao Huoer rushed in quickly, was ambushed, and was finally captured alive in the river meander, and finally suffocated to death in Tokyo City.
Guo Hengchuan struggled to survive in the defeat and exhausted his last bit of strength in the mountains outside Yanmen Pass.
Only Wu Gudu was invincible. Not only was the Shenwu City defended by hundreds of people not lost, but it held on to the last moment. When Yelu Hongji arrived, Wu Gudu couldn't help crying loudly when he looked at the withered face of Wu Gudu.
Therefore, in the battle of Xijing Road, Wu Gudu was the only local official who was not guilty but had merit. Regardless of whether Yelu Hongji discovered the strangeness in this, he needed to find a beautiful person for the Khitans in the defeat of Xijing.
’s shining point.
Wu Gudu refused Yelu Hongji's generous reward and just wanted to return to his hometown in Wugu Lietong Army Division. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use cold water to ruin his health in the cold winter.
The troops of the Wugu Dilietong Army Division are finally leaving the ancestral land of Wu Gudu, because as long as they are not blind, everyone can see the unfriendliness shown by Song and Xixia towards Daliao.
The Song Dynasty was advancing to the north, while Xixia was advancing to the east. Xijing was once again on the verge of danger. This is why the Wugu family, which is closest to Xijing, had to go south to Xijin Prefecture.
In this family relocation, Wu Gudu finally showed a strategic vision that matched his status as the head of the family.
In his opinion, Xijing cannot be defended at all. As long as the evil wolf Yunzheng is staring at this place, Xijing cannot be defended no matter how many soldiers and horses there are.
In the last battle, Yun Zheng had already made preparations to attack the state capitals under Xijing for the second time. Whether it was Shenwu City, Shuozhou, Pinglu, or Mayi, as long as Yun Zheng wanted to attack, he would definitely do it.
Drumming down.
If he goes to Xijing, it will only make Yunzheng's plan to seize Xijing more perfect.
Looking at the withered yellow grassland, Wu Gudu tried his best to sit up straight, lying on the car window and staring blankly at this beautiful grassland.
There are two rivers flowing in the northern prairie. One rushes down from the southern end of the Daxingan Mountains. The Khitan people call it Xilamulun River, also known as "Yellow Water"; the other river comes from the western end of Yiwulu Mountain and is called Laoha River, also known as "Yellow Water".
It is called "Tuhe". The Khitan people arose in the Xilamulun River and Laoha River basins. After many years of conquest by their ancestors, they finally completed their unification of the north.
I think back to those days when my ancestors were riding horses and carrying eagles roaring past the end of the grassland. Even the strong north wind had to make way for that powerful cavalry. Even the proudest splendens was under the hooves of the ancestors' horses.
Turn into dust.
Now, Wu Yong is no more.
According to legend, the god rode a white horse and headed east from the Futu River in Mayu Mountain. A goddess drove a green ox chariot down the Panhuang River from the plain pine forest. When they arrived at Konoha Mountain, the two rivers merged, met, and became spouses. They gave birth to eight sons, and then they multiplied into a powerful
The Khitan people are likely to enter the harsh late autumn like the grassland in front of them. By next year, the green grass growing out of the ground will not look familiar to the Khitan people.
Looking back at the long motorcade, Wu Gudu rolled up his sleeves and looked at the line of gold characters on his arm. After thinking for a long time, he first tied his left arm with a cloth strap, then took out the knife and cut it like wood.
He cut off his own hand.
This is a line of words that Yun Zheng ordered to be branded on himself with a hot iron - always be a minister of the Song Dynasty!
Wu Gudu looked at his broken arm and suddenly laughed miserably. A long time ago, he was terribly afraid of death, but at this time, he was full of disgust for life. If this disgust could have appeared a few years earlier, it would have been
What a great thing.
While he was still conscious, Wu Gudu threw the severed hand into the brazier. Seeing the blue flames gradually withering the hand, Wu Gudu closed his eyes with relief and smoked.
The cloth straps tied around the arms were removed, and a stream of thick blood spurted out from the broken part of the arm, spraying the wooden board opposite the seat red.
When Wu Gudu's consciousness gradually became blurred, a very clear sentence appeared in his mind - the sun in Daliao was finally going to set.
The dead were dead, but the living had to continue on their way. Wu Gudu's son buried Wu Gudu's body at the foot of a beautiful mountain.
Wu Gudu told his son a long time ago that his body cannot be buried with his ancestors in the future.
He believed that a cunning plan could deceive the emperor and his family, but unfortunately, no matter how cunning the plan was, it could not deceive the gods in heaven or himself.
"According to legend, a man of God rode a white horse and headed east from the Fushi River on Mount Magou. A goddess drove a green ox chariot down the Huangshui River from the plain pine forest to the confluence of two rivers in Konoye Mountain. They became spouses and gave birth to eight sons.
Later clans became more and more prosperous and were divided into eight tribes."
——Volume 37 of "History of Liao"
The person who really made the Khitan people the masters of the grassland was Yelu Abaoji. Abaoji can definitely be called a hero. Two years after he became emperor, he built Shangjing City; two years later, he started to found the Khitan people's capital.
Writing; another year later, the Criminal Code of the Liao Kingdom was formulated.
Within five years, "civilian governance" could be described as a success, but "martial arts" also achieved remarkable results. Abaoji fought bravely. History books say that he was strong and bold, and he liked riding and shooting. He could shoot through an inch-thick iron with one arrow.
In July of the first year of Shence, Abaoji had just proclaimed himself emperor, so he personally conquered various ethnic groups in Zhouduan and won a great victory; in November, he sent troops to attack Xuanhua, Huailai, Yuxian and other places in Hebei and won a great victory;
In the second year, he attacked Yanjing and won a big victory; in the third year, he attacked Hezhong and won a big victory; in the fourth year, he personally conquered the Bohai Sea and won a big victory; in the fifth year, he attacked Heishui and won another big victory. This series of victories made the Khitan
His power grew rapidly and he became the overlord of this land.
That was the year when Abaoji personally conquered the Bohai Sea. The dawn of victory had already appeared, and the armies of the great powers had returned in triumph. At this time, bad news came. Abaoji unfortunately died of illness on the way back. The once-all-powerful emperor finally returned with his victory.
Another military victory marked a successful conclusion for himself.
Today, the Khitan Empire is retreating from the river, retreating from Shangjing, retreating from the Bohai Sea... retreating from the Black Water...
Wu Gudu died not so much of suicide as of fear! As a bystander and instigator of the Battle of Xijing, he saw the power and invincibility of the Song army, as well as the decay and invincibility of the Liao army.
Decline, perhaps, he died of despair! (To be continued)
