"Jiulang, are Shatu people just good things?" The thin man looked sad and patted the somewhat worn leather armor, and said angrily: "Shatu people, Khitan people, Tuyuhun people, Xi people, and Mohe people, hehe, not only Hedong, but also the land of Youyan is now filled with these mixed Hu people. We Han people are forced to go south, so we may not be able to live this life."

After hearing what the other party said, Wang Miao knew that his lobbying would not be disappointed.

This former companion never thought that he would not have fallen in the Cheng German army, but he ran to Lu Long for a meal. However, the Cheng German army was embarrassed, and the food on Lu Long’s side was not delicious.

The Jiedushi Liu Shouguang flattered the Khitan, but was very harsh. Except for the Ya Army he personally took, the other troops were like beggars.

Like the cavalry battalion under the command of He Da and He Dangyang, the cavalry battalion known as the Youyan Iron Cavalry actually had only more than 600 war horses, many of which were weak and old horses.

You must know that this place is Youyan, which is a place for horse production. To the north is even more of a mixed Hu area such as Khitan and Tuyuhun, with good horses everywhere. Even a battalion of cavalry could not match one army and two horses.

For example, weapons and armor are even more devastated, and logistics support is intermittent, especially the salary of soldiers is not paid for a long time.

In the Lulong army alone, in addition to the Ya army, almost every army in the other twelve armies had a mutiny. The reason was that they were owing wages and food. Many soldiers even sold weapons and horses in the camp, and finally, they developed to the officers taking the lead.

My companion is quite honest, but looking at the broken leather armor on his body, the boots that have cracked under his feet, the white-washed blue robe, and the hand knife with the handle and cowhide rope that is shiny but obviously the blade has been polished several times, you can think of the difficulty of Lu Long and his troops here now.

"Dangyang, when did the Khitans start to move south?"

Wang Miao also came to Heshuo and his entourage last time, but mainly on the territory of Chengde and Wei Bo's army. He only walked to the line of Cangzhou and returned south.

At that time, he discovered a lot of Khitans in Cangzhou, but he didn't expect that the number of Khitans on the entire Lulong army's territory was so large. With what he saw and heard on the Chengde army's territory, he realized that the Khitans seemed to have become a trend.

"It should have been several years. At least in the first year of Jingtai, the Khitans were everywhere. However, there were also many people from the Marine and Xi people at that time. But now the Khitans far surpassed the Marine and Xi people, and their arrogance and domineeringness were not comparable to those from the Marine and Xi people." The thin man shook his head, "It is not easy to live in Youyan."

Wang Miao also realized this. He went to Youzhou first, and even to Tanzhou and Jizhou, Hepingzhou, and almost went to Yingzhou. This was an inspection of the entire northern Xinjiang region.

Now places like Tanzhou, Jizhou Hepingzhou and Yingzhou have actually been controlled by the Khitans. The Khitans account for a small half of these states. Although the Han people still account for the majority, they have actually become inferior people. Of course, there are also powerful classes among the Han people, and the Khitans also have poor and poor people. This is not absolute, but in terms of ethnic groups, the Khitans hold power.

The actual control area of ​​the governor Lulong has retreated to the south of Youzhou, and now only Youzhou, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Mozhou, Wuzhou and Cangzhou are left. The territory has been reduced a lot, and the Khitans are still continuing to move south, eroding the territory that originally belonged to the Han people, forcing the Han people to go south.

If the current situation continues, the Khitans will probably accelerate their pace of going south, like several states under the control of the German army, they may gradually become what the Lulong army is now.

"Dangyang, have you never considered another way out?" Wang Miao calmly picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, picked up a piece of mutton sauce with his fingers and put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"Other way out? Haha, Jiulang, for us, we have been in the military camp for more than ten years, what else can we do besides fighting? What other way out? Could it be that Jiulang thinks we should also be bodyguards for those Khitan nobles or merchants?" The thin man spread his hands, "What's easy now? At least you can barely fill your stomach in the military camp."

"No, Dangyang, what I mean is why do you hang yourself in this tree of Lu Long Army? Liu Shouguang is not a human lord, and he is afraid of the Khitans to this extent. I am afraid that the Lu Long Army will change its lord sooner or later." Wang Miao's eyes were calm.

"It's not entirely true that the Jiedushi is the governor. The Khitans are now very powerful in the north, and Daliang is now competing with Hedong, and they don't have much energy to support Heshuo. They even hope that Heshuo can help them restrain Hedong. In this case, how can they compete with the increasingly powerful Khitans?"

The thin man is not a ignorant person, so he explained it to Liu Shouguang.

"So you plan to stay here all the time?" Seeing that the skinny man did not answer his question, Wang Miao refused to relax.

"Jiulang, if you don't stay here, where can I go? If I don't talk about my family, there are still hundreds of brothers below. People eat horses and chew them, where can I go?" The skinny man smiled bitterly and said, "If your Wang family is still regarded as the German army's home, of course I would be willing to become the German army, but isn't the Zhang family the same now? The Khitans and Daliang please both sides."

Wang Miao originally wanted to make it clear, but he still endured it for a while, "Dangyang, how about the relationship between the Khitans and Hedong now?"

"The relationship between the Khitans and Shatu people?" The thin man thought for a while, "I can't explain clearly, my enemies and friends are unknown. The Khitans are now thinking about going south, and Lu Long has no choice but to do it. In fact, in recent years, Daliang hopes that Heshuo will support them to restrain Hedong, and Heshuo can only act like this. Daliang also knows this, so Hedong has not met Heshuo in many years, so the relationship between the Khitans and Hedong must also be determined according to the situation."

"Where are the Tuyuhun people?" Wang Miao asked again.

"The Tuyuhun people and Hedong are old enemies. The Helian clan and Hedong have constant wars almost every year. It is said that the Khitans support the Helian clan behind their backs, but I just heard that I don't know what the real situation is." The thin man was a little curious when he saw Wang Miao asking so much, "Jiulang, didn't you say you went to Caizhou? Why are you still so idle and wandering around?"

"I'm not in Caizhou anymore." Wang Miao shook his head and laughed, "This trip is just to come out to see old friends and old friends. I didn't expect you to be so difficult here. Could it be that Lu Long's army is like this? Aren't you elite cavalrymen?"

"Haha, elite? The only elite army of the Jiedushi now is the only elite army. Everyone else can be cut off and withdrawn. If it weren't for the fear of causing rebellion, he would have taken action long ago." The thin man sneered: "On my camp, I still have to pay half a year for the money, grain and cloth to the soldiers this year. If I drag it on like this, it will be a matter of time before mutiny."

Wang Miao knew that the three armies of Liu Shouguang, the governor of Lulong, had a total of 7,500 soldiers. In addition to a battalion of personal soldiers, these 8,000 people were the support of Liu Shouguang's life. No matter how short they were, these 8,000 soldiers would be satisfied.

But there were still ten soldiers in the other side, so I was afraid that they could only leave with owes.

If he really can't hold on, he will make some decisions to avoid mutiny. Even Liu Shouguang has forced the abolition of the weak armies of the two armies, which has caused rebellion. So now Liu Shouguang dares not slacking off the abolition easily.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. Two soldiers wearing armor came up. The thin man looked a little unhappy, but he was still patient. One soldier hesitated and came over shortly before he said a few words in the thin man's ear.

"Oh? Indeed?" The thin man's face changed slightly, and he almost stood up all of a sudden, but then he realized that Wang Miao was still there and sat down again, "Where is Zhang Yin?"

"The deputy envoy has already gone to reorganize the army, so let his subordinates come down to report to the emperor." The soldiers were a little nervous.

The skinny man finally couldn't help it and stood up, "You go back first, I'll come back soon. No one is allowed to go out until I get my orders. I'll go and ask clearly."

"Here." The soldier bowed and retreated.

"Jiulang, I'm afraid I can't drink with you today. If there is an urgent matter in the camp, I have to go back first." There was a hint of worry between the thin man's eyebrows, but he was still more angry.

"What's wrong? Dangyang, is there a war?" Wang Miao also stood up and asked.

"Hmph, if there is really a war, that's great." The thin man curled his lips, "At least, he can always send a few of his brothers below to the war. Now, he will have to drag him to death."

"Then what happened to you so anxious?" Wang Miao asked with concern.

"Well, I'm not afraid of Jiulang's jokes when I say it. The Jiedushi's mansion allocated a batch of money and grain to our left-wing Fifth Army, which was supposed to solve part of the money for the first half of the year, but the Sixth Army started to clamor and said that their money had not been fully distributed last month and forced to remove part of it. So, it's a big deal, and I'm afraid it's going to be a war."

The thin man also looked sad. He wanted to kill each other for the sake of his brothers' money. This kind of thing is not rare in Lu Long's army, but it just falls on himself, which is indeed a bit helpless.

"Your army commander is going to prepare for war?" Wang Miao didn't expect that this would happen to Hejian this time. Although he had known that Lu Long's army was in a bad condition, he did not expect that it was so bad that he would kill each other for a batch of money and food. This was incredible.
