Chapter 1,387 White Disaster

Su You said: "If you want to fight, it's not that you don't have a chance. Dong Xiang of Qingtang is seriously ill. Ali Gu has repeatedly put pressure on the chiefs with gold orders and wants to gather all their relatives in Qingtang City. In fact, they are under house arrest. This move

This caused great dissatisfaction among the chiefs."

"Last year, I opened a market in Shalan, and the trade between the five Silk Road states gave merchants great discounts. This year's tea market, the sales volume of silk tea exceeded my expectations. The road was also smooth, and the army was still there.

By providing protection along the way, the prosperity of Qingtang has become a thing of the past."

"In the Qing and Tang Dynasties, people's hearts are now unstable, their incomes are cut off, and there are still Dong Felt's legitimate sons, Lin Bubi, and old ministers Wen Xixin. As long as Dong Felt dies, I, the Song Dynasty, will be the Duke Mu of Qin who helped Chong'er enter the Jin Dynasty."

Zhong Yi curled his lips: "Grandma Li secured Liangzhou and joined forces with Xihe. The Qingtang Dynasty was finished from that moment on. I can just leave the credit to him."

"Oh, Xiaoba is so worried..." Su You smiled and patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder: "You have to eat one bite at a time. We are a country of brothers after all."

"But it's not like there's no movement over there. Have you read the imperial court report? The daughter of the Huanglong Mansion directly attached herself to the Liao Dynasty. There were also five Tatar tribes who donated famous horses. That happened last month."

Zhong Yi said: "Marrying in March? Isn't it too harsh?"

Su You said: "Balang, you must know that Song and Liao are both big countries, and big countries will never be defeated by others. They... can only defeat themselves."

Zhong Yi shook his head: "If the Liao Kingdom continues like this, there will be trouble soon..."

The two crossed a grassy slope, and the horse came to the water's edge. Zhongyi pointed to the huge river in the north: "Teacher, this is the Uga River."

Su You looked at the endless river and said: "Spectacular."

Zhong Yi said: "Before the Peach Blossom Flood, the river here was six miles wide. The river bed was covered with sandbars, forks, and many whirlpools. It was commonly known as the 'broken river'."

"By June, it will become a vast ocean again. This section of the river is extremely unstable and often moves north and south, resulting in many dead river tubes shaped like oxbows, also called oxbow lakes."

"Along the river, I plan to densely plant salix and Haloxylon ammodendron as a barrier to avoid trouble coming from the north after the winter freeze."

Su You said: "Defense is one aspect. The key is the scout team, cavalry, intelligence, and observation posts. With our current strength, we must resolutely destroy the enemy outside the country's borders."

"Heishan Weifu Army Division in the north is the land of the original Xia Kingdom for 600 miles. We, the Song Dynasty, have enough legitimate reasons for the military operations in that area. We need to be bold when things happen. Do you understand?"

Zhong Yi nodded: "Teacher, don't worry."

"Even in private, you can't call me that in the future." Su You patted Zhong Yi on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "The Song Dynasty is most afraid of this, not to mention that you and I are different in civil and military affairs, and you have represented the Military Academy, and now it is even more

He is the general who leads the army."

At this moment, a fast horse galloped along the river channel towards where the two men were stationed: "Yixi Weishe, Living Buddha, please return to the Dacheng Valley as soon as possible!"

Su You just walked to Hunhua Crossing and received the news that in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, in the fourth month of summer, on the first day of Bingwu, there was heavy snowfall in the Liao border, and there were more than ten feet of flat ground, and sixty-seven out of ten horses died.

The entire north of Huanglong Prefecture was hit by the disaster. In order to avoid the snow disaster, a large number of Zubu and White Tatars north of Ningxia No. 3 Road went south and entered the Song Dynasty. They gathered towards the Helan Mountain Passage Valley.

Renduo Baozhong urgently summoned his troops, 30,000 people guarded Tanliang City, 30,000 people controlled Daxie Valley, and at the same time asked Xingzhou for urgent help.

Sun Neng was shocked when he received the intelligence, and personally led the He Controlling Army out of Keyi Gate to meet Su You.

When Su You arrived at Shuangta Temple, he heard Renduo Baozhong say that the great monk in red had gone to the Tatar tribe.

Su You looked around and found an acquaintance who shouldn't be here: "Hutu? What are you doing here?"

Nendo Baozhong said: "This is the letter Hutu came to report."

Su You asked: "Where are they?"

Hutu said: "I met them in Loubo Beihai."

Loubo Beihai is the big salt pond three hundred miles north of Tanliang City. Su You didn't ask any more questions: "Let's go and have a look."

Hutu hurriedly said: "I am familiar with Menggentulak, a white Tatar. Please take me with you, Yixi Weishe."

Su You nodded: "We do need a translator, let's go."

When they arrived at the mouth of the valley, 30,000 people from Ren Duo Baozhong had gathered here and built the wall to block the north.

This is the case for the Tibetan people. Three or four soldiers in the tribe can draw out one soldier, and they can fight immediately. The cost of deploying troops is completely different from that of the farming tribes in the Central Plains. Ten soldiers and one soldier are considered good.

Su You gave Sun Neng a wink, and Sun Neng waved his hand, and five scout cavalrymen, each with three horses, ran towards the north. Followed by a thousand cavalrymen, they divided into three groups and headed north slowly.

The remaining two thousand people occupied the high ground on both sides. The soldiers began to dig bunkers and set up gun emplacements, and they were ready in a blink of an eye.

Renduo Baozhong was not a fool. He followed Su You without saying a word and allowed himself to be protected by a hundred New Army soldiers, including Su You. He was quite conscious of surrendering.

After a while, a team of scouts came back with three people, one of whom was a middle-aged monk in red, and two strong Tatar men.

Hutu whispered beside Su You: "The one on the right is Menggentulak. The one on the left should be from the Divination Department."

The three of them rushed forward, and the monk in red got off his horse and said, "Yixi Weishe, the Living Buddha has stayed in the two tribes, and asked me to bring them to see you."

The two knelt down, and Menggentulak stretched out his hands and cried: "Yixi Weishe, the Changsheng Heaven sent down such a terrible disaster as the White Disaster in April. The living Buddha said that only the bright and wise master can save us, Yixi Weishe

,save us!”

Today's Tatars are far from being as powerful as they would be to sweep the world eighty years later [51 Novels www.51xs.info]. Today's Tatars are those from Liao, Xixia, Heihan, and even the Uighurs dare to step on them.

Feet object.

Most of the Tatar tribes became vassals of the Liao people in order to receive protection, but the Liao people were actually very harsh on them.

Su You shook his head and sighed: "In the third month of the month when the lambs are being bred, you still have to pay tribute to the Liao people. If you don't cherish the gift given to you by the Changsheng God, the Changsheng God will punish you."

Menggentulak cried: "That is not what we want, it is the Liao people who forced us! At this time every year, they come to extort our best stallions. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Hutu."

Su You asked: "Menggentulak, your purpose of coming is not honest. My scout told me that your so-called tribe is all men and there are no women and children. Are you trying to test my wisdom?"

"

Menggentulak was stunned, and when he really wanted to speak, Su You immediately said: "Please call me Yesiweishe. I need your honesty now. Tell me, where are the women and children of your tribe? Also, tell me.

I, your original intention of leading the tribe south."

"If you can't be honest, then I'm sorry, but you are not a guest worthy of my respect, and I will not help you."

Menggentulak glanced at another Tatar, and the Tatar said cruelly: "Dear Yixi Weishe, I am Jida, the eldest son of Su Rizhe, the leader of the divination tribe. My father is leading our tribe now, and my wife is

People and children are all in the Gobi north of Loubobei."

"When we went south, we originally wanted to rob some grain and lambs, but the living Buddha stopped us and said that all the half-million troops of Khan of Xia Kingdom were wiped out by Yixi Weishe. You are a generous and kind master. If necessary,

To help, speaking with sincerity is ten thousand times better than speaking with swords.”

Su You then got off his horse and helped the two men up: "When the White Disaster comes, the first thing that the tribe loses is the lambs; due to severe cold and hunger, the first things to fall are the women and children. Without the children and the lambs, the tribe will be gone."

future."

"You have suffered a disaster and still have to cross the desert. I would like to ask how many of you are left? Let me talk about the women and children first."

Jida said: "We still have 50,000, and Bai Ta has 30,000. The men who have passed Lou Bobei's have a total of about 50,000."

Su You said: "I will send you two hundred carts of food now, and I will use my four hundred sergeants. I ask you to promise me that the women and children in the tribe will be fed first, and then it will be their turn."

you."

"Then you all come here. You can bring your own swords, put all the bows and arrows in the cart, and let the sick and infirm come to me in the cart. When you get here, we will discuss how to help you, okay?"

Jida and Menggentulak kissed Su You's boots gratefully: "The Living Buddha is right. The kindness of Yixi Weishe can dissolve the ice and snow in April. We will rush back right now."

Su You turned around and said, "Renduo, open a food stall and pull two hundred carts of grain, no, flour. That stuff is easier to process and easier to absorb."
