Chapter 889 An unexpected enemy

Through the telescope, Pei Yun could clearly observe the number and scale of the visitors. Judging from their clothes, this was obviously a barbarian from the Kipchak Khanate.

Those with black hair and yellow skin, as well as those with brown hair and white skin, are obviously a caravan with multiple tribes.

Such a team has the most visitors from the Kipchak Khanate.

It was already late autumn, and the second sheep sheep on the grassland had already ended, but the overwhelming snow in the cold winter had not come down. During this period, caravans from the Kipchak Khanate frequently arrived.

Behind these caravans are different tribes, either close or close to each other. Now they take advantage of the last time to come to Jinhu City to buy tea, salt, soju and other items needed for the winter.

Most of the herdsmen who stayed in Jinhu City were from the nearby Naiman tribe. These herdsmen naturally had to be exploited by the nobles of their tribes, but because of the distance, the heads of those tribes would not do too well. Compared with caravans composed of tribes, the items sold by these herdsmen were much cheaper than that. Every Han merchant who was nostalgic in Jinhu City hoped that all the tribes of Naiman tribes would be divided into households and people.

However, as the deputy general of Jinhu City, Pei Yun was very disliked by the herdsmen of the Naiman tribe. In his opinion, these people were just "Tartars", and they were all mothers with milk, and they didn't know what loyalty and righteousness were.

They stayed in Jinhu City for a long time, and they also had an attitude towards Lu Qi's policies, and knew about the number of Han people and the garrisons in Jinhu City. Many of the news were easily spread to the Kipchak Khanate by them.

Moreover, those Tartars are rude and often drink and make trouble after drinking a few sips of cat peeing. They are often punished, but they don’t know what the senses they give.

The caravan did not enter Jinhu City. After all, the latter was a military important place, and no one could come in casually. Foreign caravans had to settle in the cargo yard outside the city first. Soon, a report containing detailed information from the visitor was delivered to him. How many people, how many goods they brought, and what they wanted were recorded one by one.

Pei Yun signed and stamped the report. This was his daily life, but there was a deep feeling of inexplicable melancholy in his heart. Could it be that Jinhu City will be really peaceful from now on? The Kipchak Khanate and Lu Qizhen are going to be friendly and friendly?

If his memory is not bad, the eastern territory of the Kipchak Khanate was originally planned to grant Tian Hu, Duke Hu of Huo.

When Pei Yun on the top of the city sighed at his military career where he could not have any skills, outside the city, a pair of gloomy eyes were coldly looking at the heavily guarded city on the bank of Jinhu Lake. This gaze came from a tall and burly man wearing a gray felt blanket. From his tall nose bridge, deep eye sockets, light golden greasy curly hair, and gray-blue eyes, you can tell that this was a Caucasian. Using the geographical knowledge at this moment, this person was from the right wing of the Dongkepchak Khanate.

The fluffy beard covered most of his face, and he always lowered his head slightly and covered his gaze with a felt hat. At first glance, it was really hard to tell his face.

As for what is the right wing of the Dongkpchak Khanate, this is the inevitable outcome of the tribal alliance when it expands to a certain extent.

Just as the Karakhtarakh state was divided into two countries, the Kipchak Khanate had split in the Karakhtarak state, and it naturally split the two major regions of the East and West.

It can be expressed in the Sikhpchak Khanate-Alliance and the Donghpchak Khanate-Alliance.

The geographical scope of the two is roughly divided by the center line of the northern coast of the Caspian Sea, the northern coast of the Caucasus and the northern coast of the Black Sea in the west, and the northern coast of the Caspian Sea and the Ertzis River basin in the east.

Later, the Dongkpchak Khanate-Alliance split again, and the left and right wings were born.

It is roughly the right wing with the Caspian Sea and the Ural River Basin as the core, and the left wing with the Ertzis River Basin as the core.

The one who had the deepest contact with Lu Qi was the left wing of the Dongkepchak Khanate - the Alliance.

The races on the left wing are mainly black-haired and yellow-skinned, while the races on the right wing are mixed with yellow and white, especially white people with pure bloodlines, who all have Caucasian bloodlines. Just like the person in front of you!

At this time, the cargo yard staff who were thinking about checking the goods did not notice such a person. They also saw many blonde and blue-eyed people, and did not find it strange. After discovering that there were no contraband, they told them a few words as usual, and turned back to the lobby of the caravan. Seeing that they passed the prosecution, the head of the caravan immediately called for people to unload the goods, set up tents, and set up fires, and everyone was busy like an ants.

Although the man with the gray felt blanket was helping unload the goods, his eyes never left Jinhu City not far away. Absent-mindedly, he moved only two packs of fur and got into a tent that had just been built. The people around him seemed to ignore his actions and still went to work everywhere.

It was not until another bearded man turned into the tent that the man took off the felt hat on his head.

The visitor lowered his voice and reported in the man's ear: "Master, the news I just heard from several Tatar natives is exactly the same as the news we heard before. This is a prominent part of the northwest border of the Chinese. Whenever heavy snow falls, they will lose contact with the castle behind."

"The guard and manage Jinhu City is a commander of a thousand men, with a border defense battalion under his command, with about 500 soldiers. There are more than a hundred Han people in the city, and there are five cannons on the top of the city and several small cannons."

There is no word "yingzheng" in the Kipchak Khanate, so he used thousands of men to replace it.

"Five hundred soldiers, one hundred households, with artillery, crossbows, and a strong city..." The man with gray felt blanket sighed in his heart. This was really a big trouble.

If possible, he would never want to lead a small army in the snow and ice, through the vast Qinzha prairie [Kazakhstan], and join forces with strangers thousands of miles away to attack such a city. That means huge sacrifices, and it also means that there is a great chance of suffering a crushing defeat or even annihilation of the entire army. It only takes a sudden blizzard.

but……

The man with felt blanket changed his expression, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and sincerely prayed to the Heavenly Father and Mother.

"Lord, the Son of God, through the prayers of the Mother of the Most Purity and the Holy Holy Ones, please mercy on us. Amen."

I will surely bless them to victory and bless his loyal people.

The man with felt blanket was just a man who obeyed the orders. The real Lord would not come here in the face of severe cold and deep dangers. But the Lord would have a heart of "urgent public and righteousness". Even if he was facing the prayers of the pagan Seljuks, and facing the promise of the Seljuk Sultan to cede the land on the southeast coast of the Caspian Sea, he could not resist the temptation and agreed to Sanjar's request.

The eastern part of the Caspian Sea is full of deserts, and there are only a small number of oasis on the vast land. The owner of the felt carpet was powerless to resist the green belt area in the southeast of the Caspian Sea promised by Sanjar.

What Sanjar asked him to do was to provoke a war between the left wing of the Dongkepchak Khanate - the Union's left wing and Lu Qi. In order to restrain Lu Qi and reduce the pressure on the Seljuk Empire in the East, even if it is temporary.

This is the biggest reason why the felt carpet man traveled thousands of miles to Jinhu City.

Because this is the most suitable place among the contact points of the Chinese and the left-wing units of the Dongkepchak Khanate-Alliance. After the heavy snowfall, it was impossible to contact the Qi army in the rear.
