The sun should have risen long ago, but the thick fog in the morning in winter covers the plains, and the rising sun cannot penetrate the layers of fog.

It was winter, and the sunlight seemed weak and powerless. The whistling north did not stop, but it still couldn't blow away the thick fog, but instead blew the thicker and thicker fog.

The commander of the left coalition of the tribal coalition, the grandson of the Yelu Tieth brothers of Yilijin, who served as the ten Khitan Dadilie Prefecture, and Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan Tama tribe Tamas Shari Yelu Abaoji, gently patted his slightly uneasy mount with his palm. This is not the first time he has participated in the war. In the battle of his father who slaughtered his father with his grandfather, his uncle Shi Lu and his uncle went south to Daibei in the Central Plains. However, that time, they were almost wiped out, and their father died in battle. Uncle Shi Lu and his uncle Yan Gu are still imprisoned in Yanjing prison in Hebei, Central Plains.

If he hadn't been seriously injured in the battle against Yunzhou, had more than a dozen bones broken on his body, and had been unconscious for a long time but could have died in the Central Plains like his father, and he would have escaped by chance. Even if he had escaped by chance, he had been in the tribal tent beside Huangshui for more than a year, and now he still has many old injuries on his body.

After his father died, the son succeeded. After his father died, the Khitan experienced considerable changes. His uncle, who had never been looked down upon, actually took up the position of Khitan Khan while everyone was away. Pugu had just died of illness. Now the position of Yilijin is his grandfather Tila, Yu Yue is his uncle Yelu Yanmu, and his other two uncles, Yelu Yusi and Yelu Wansi, were appointed as the king of the north and south courtyards. His cousin, Shu Lu's son Hua Ge, was the commander of the palace tent army, guarding the new Khitan Yilijin Tita, while he inherited his father's position as the head of the Tamashshali, as the leader of the guard division of Khitan Yuyue.

He came to Bohai with his grandfather Yili Jintela and put on his armor again. Yelu Abaoji's mind had changed a lot. He even gave himself a Han name, Liu Yi. The name he chose was very connotation. The Khitan originally accepted the title of Li Tang Cefeng of the Central Plains. However, Abaoji chose Liu. This was because during his injury, he read many books in the Central Plains, especially historical books. After reading the history books of the dynasties in the Central Plains, he admired the emperors of the Central Plains who achieved hegemony and founded the dynasty. The only person he admired the most was Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang.

In his opinion, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang was nothing, both literary and military, but such a person finally defeated Xiang Yu, the recognized hero, who was the overlord of everyone. He even led those subordinates who were stronger than him, and eventually founded the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang's talent was limited, and sometimes even worse than his wife, Lu, but he was such a person, but in the end he won the world. He respected Liu Bang very much, believing that such a person was the real hero. In his opinion, Li Jing from the Central Plains was as domineering as Xiang Yu, and was arrogant and unrivaled. He wanted to be Liu Bang, although the two sides had great strength at the beginning, Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu in the end.

Therefore, he named himself Liu Yi and Yue Liduo, the daughter of his newly married aunt. He also took the Han surname, Xiao. Xiao was Xiao He, the important minister of Liu Bang. He read history books and felt that although Liu Bang had a group of capable ministers, he admired Xiao He the most. He hoped that his new wife could also become a good helper like Xiao He, rather than a woman like Liu Bang's wife, Lu.

Since his injury, A Baoji has been reflecting on his long time, reflecting on why they were defeated again and again in Li Jing's hands.

Finally, he came to a conclusion. It was a proposal that Chao Cuo, an important minister of the Wen and Jing dynasties during the Western Han Dynasty, must first settle the country when fighting against foreign countries.

In his opinion, the tribes outside the frontier were vast and had a large population. In history, the Huns during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Rouran during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the Turks during the Sui and Tang Dynasties were once extremely powerful, making the Central Plains a huge, and even a powerful grassland regime that negotiated peace. The key to these grassland empires' ability to suppress the Central Plains dynasties was that they unified the vast foreign country. From the east of the sea to the western region, hundreds of thousands of tribes were integrated into one on the distant territory of tens of thousands of miles. The Huns, Soft, Turks, and each grassland empire could dispatch 400,000 to 500,000 iron cavalry at any time. That was the real iron cavalry, not the hundreds of thousands of people who counted men, women, young and old together.

If the tribes outside the Great Wall want to defeat the Central Plains, they can only wait for the Central Plains to split or unify themselves.

Today, the Central Plains seem to be divided, but Li Jing emerged from nowhere, occupying the northern front line and defending the gateway of the Central Plains. They could not go south to plunder and gain benefits. Even Li Jing refused to do so in the Bohai Sea.

Li Jing is their old enemy, which makes it difficult for them to develop. Instead, he has been bleeding continuously in recent years and has been severely damaged in his vitality.

To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the country.

This is not just what the people in the Central Plains need to do, but their tribes are the same. If the Khitan could truly integrate the outer land from east to west, rather than occupying a small area in the northeast now, it would have to be a loose tribal alliance. They would definitely be like the Rurantu grassland empires of the Xiongnu, pressing the Central Plains dynasty under their iron hooves and trembling.

He felt that the upper class of the Khitans were not very clear now, or they were a little out of date and could not see the situation clearly. They were still using the idea of ​​tribal struggle to face this battle that concerns the life and death of the Khitans. Now is not the time to continue fighting with the Qin army. They should understand that the battle they had lost with the Qin people, and they lost to the end, and they lost completely. What they had to consider now is not how to defeat the Qin army, but how to preserve the remaining strength.

When he sat on the horse, he seemed very silent and felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart.

A sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a middle-aged knight with arms appeared. Liu Yi looked back and saw that it was his uncle, and now the Khitan Yu Yue Yelu Yanmu. Originally, after Yelu Pugu was seriously ill, Diela had agreed that Shi Lu would take over Yilijin's position. At that time, Pu Gu was no longer in charge, and even established a new position of Yu Yue, taking over the military and political power of the Khitan in disguise in advance. But who would have thought that Shi Lu would be defeated in the Central Plains and eventually became a prisoner of the Southern Barbarians. Pu Gu died suddenly, so much so that the entire Diel

The Layelu family was not prepared. Yelu Yanmu should have succeeded Yilijin. As a result, Yelu became a mess. The Diela family robbed the Khan position, and then the old man Tiela made Yilijin. In the end, for compensation, they had to let Yanmu, the original new Yilijin, take over the position of Yu Yue. Yu Yue's temporary position has now become a fixed position. Yu Yue and Yilijin have equal power. Under the noble but no real power Khan, the Khitan now has two leaders in command of military and political leadership.

However, although Yu Yue and Yilijin of Dadilie Mansion have similar power, after all, Tila is Iwaki's uncle, and he once served as the nine-rank Yilijin, and now he is the tenth position. Whether in terms of seniority or prestige, Yelu Tila is the real number one person in the entire Khitan today.

However, Tiela was already very old, and among his sons, Pu Gu was only dead, and Quan Gu became a prisoner of the Southern Barbarians, and became the Khan under his jurisdiction. The remaining two sons, Yu Si and Wan Si, are now the kings of the North and South Courtyards. According to the old rules, after the three years of Yelu Tiela's tenure, Yilijin's position must be inherited by Abaoji's grandfather Yun Deshi. Yelu Yanmu was in his forties and was in his prime. His body, which had been fighting outside for many years, was still very strong on horseback.

"I just sip, are you here? Your body hasn't been smooth yet. It's too early to get up in such a cold morning. Such a strong wind and such a thick fog, it's not fun once you get lost."

"Uncle, do you often have such fog here?'

Yelu Abaoji has grown much taller in the past two years. At the age of twelve, he is already eight feet tall (Hanzhi, about 1.8 meters). He is much stronger and can drive a strong bow of 200 kilograms. He raised his helmet, and his pupils were as bright as the night sky.

"Well, there is often such heavy fog in the morning of the Bohai Sea. The thick fog is so thick that it can't see your five fingers clearly. Sometimes the fog will not dissipate until afternoon." Yelu Yanmu opened his mouth and smiled: "But no matter it is thick fog or heavy snow, it cannot stop our tribal cavalry. In fact, the worse the weather in the Bohai Sea, the more beneficial it is to us. In any case, our coalition forces are mostly growing outside the pass and adapting to this severe cold, but they are much stronger than the southern barbarian soldiers of Li Jing. Many of them have never seen snow since childhood!"

A Baoji is not as optimistic as his uncle. The Qin army may not be more adaptable to the severe cold outside the border as they are, but the Qin army has sufficient equipment. They have leather coats, cotton jackets, sweaters, coal and charcoal. Their cold-proof equipment is very complete. Although the weather is cold, they hide in fortresses and snow houses, and they are actually very comfortable to stay. Didn’t my uncle just say that thick fog is easy to get lost? If they withdraw in such weather, the severe cold is originally a huge enemy. Now with the thick fog, the retreat will be really fatal.
