"Brother... do you really want to send troops?"

This is the military tent of Shiwei. The two brothers sat together and talked. These two brothers are now the leaders of the twenty-five tribes of Shiwei, one is named Wen Menggu and the other is named Wen Helang.

One of these two people is the ancestor of Borjijin Temujin,

Shiwei...in fact, it is the origin of the Mongols. In the historical books of the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Mengwu" at that time. Mengwu was a branch of the Shiwei ethnic group in ancient China, so it is also called Mengwu Shiwei.

Their earliest hometown was in the southern part of the Amur River near the Little Khingan Mountains, and lived on hunting, fishing, grazing and primitive agriculture.

Shi Wei's tribe is very large, but since the entire tribal alliance has no centralization, all power is scattered among countless small tribal chiefs, so it has never posed any threat to the outside world.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Shiwei people were subjects of the Turks.

Wen Menggu looked at his younger brother Wen Helang and sighed and replied: "Do we have a choice? Later, the Turks never gave us a choice. They were orders, and they ordered us to send troops tonight."

"But the Great Zhou is not easy to mess with." Wen Helang looked at his brother Wen Menggu worriedly.

"I know...but we don't need to invade too deeply. The plan given to us by the Turks this time is to let us raid Yingzhou and then occupy Fanyang, as long as we attack Fanyang.

Our mission is over.”

"They are really too far away. We helped them open the gap. When they really wanted to go to the treasure land, they didn't let us go." After saying that, Wen Helang showed an angry expression.

"Hey...!" With a sigh, Wen Menggu said, "Don't do this. I'll fight this time the striker. Don't go and stay at home. If I encounter an accident, you will take our tribe to the place we planned."

"Brother...you will definitely be fine." Wen Helang looked at his brother.

Wen Menggu nodded and smiled, but he did not guarantee anything. After all, he could not make any guarantees about war.

In this way, that night, Wen and Mongolia led the army of Wei to attack the Weizhou Yingzhou first.

................

The location of Yingzhou is probably Liaoning... It was formerly Liucheng County of the Sui Dynasty. In the first year of Wude (618), it was changed to the General Administration Office of Yingzhou, and in the seventh year of Wude, it was changed to the Governor's Office. The jurisdiction includes the current western Liaoning area.

You may not know much about Yingzhou.

However, during the Song Dynasty, they were always shouting that they would bring back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyan. Among them, Youzhou was Fanyang, and Yanzhou was Yingzhou at this time.

In Yingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, many important historical figures emerged, including An Lushan who initiated the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guangbi who quelled the Anshi Rebellion, and Dae Jo-young who established the Bohai Kingdom.

How to say that Yingzhou is not very friendly to Wuzhou. Although there were Wuzhou soldiers stationed in Yingzhou at this time, the number of people was not large. In fact, something happened just now in Yingzhou.

Perhaps after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, the Khitans were famined in Yingzhou, and the people were displaced and miserable. Yingzhou boss Zhao Wenhui not only did not open warehouses and release grain to provide relief to the victims, but instead became more and more arrogant and regarded the Khitan leaders as slaves, which made the people feel resentful.

Soon, Zhao Wenyi finally ended up doing something wrong!

Sun Wanrong, the leader of the Khitan Dahe tribe alliance, joined forces with his brother-in-law and Songmo Governor Li Jinzhong to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. Hulala led his troops to attack Yingzhou, captured hundreds of prisoners, and took Zhao Wenxuan's life. This incident is known in history as the "Yingzhou Rebellion".

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinzhong called himself the "Supreme Khan" and appointed his brother-in-law Sun Wanrong as the head coach and marched eastward. For a time, the limelight was strong and invincible. No wonder, because the officials of Wuzhou who were in the senior management were arrogant and domineering, treating the ethnic minorities in the Northeast as untouchables and oppressing them arbitrarily. Wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. The Khitan tribes naturally defected to the rebels and vowed to do a big thing.

In just 10 days, the Khitan army quickly grew to 100,000 people. Then they rushed straight into Chongzhou, beating Xu Qinji, the deputy envoy of Longshan Army, and defeated him. The bad army reported the news, and the 100,000 were urgent and frequently sent back to the capital, which made the empress Wu Zetian angry, shocked and hated. Wu Zhou was in a dignified and full of troops, but even suffered defeat. This was too embarrassing. No, this face must be retrieved.

Therefore, "Yichou sent Cao Ren, general of the Left Ying Yang Guard, general of the Right Jinwu Guard, Zhang Xuanyu, general of the Left Wei Guard, Li Duozuo, general of the Left Wei Guard, Ma Renjie and other twenty-eight generals to fight against him. In the autumn, July, and Xinhai, the Spring Office, King Wu Sansi, was appointed as the ambassador of Yuguandao's pacification, and Yao Deputy to prepare for the Khitan. Li Jinzhong was changed to Li Jinde, and Sun Wanrong was killed by Sun Wan." The words came from "Zizhi Tongjian"

Look at what Wu Zetian was so angry that she even issued an edict, and changed Li Jinzhong's name to Li Jinmi as a scolding, and Sun Wanrong changed his name to Sun Wanzhan: Listen, you two thieves, I will kill you all and cut you into pieces!

In September of that year, although the "Supreme Khan" Li Jinzhong died of illness and the strength of the Khitan rebels was greatly reduced, Empress Wu still ordered that "the world is a prisoner and a brave servant of the common people, and the officials will pay the right to attack the Khitan." The prisoners and the officials and the slaves of the people in the world, who can fight and make trouble, the government will pay for their own lives and send them to the front line to attack the Khitan. In March of the next year, Wu Zetian sent Su Honghui, Wang Xiaojie and others to lead an army of 170,000 to conquer the Khitan. The battle situation is more likely to lose than the fewer to win.

On April 18 of the same year, Wu Zetian appointed Wu Yizong, the general of the Right Jinwu Guard, as the chief general of the Divine Warring and the general of the Right Baotao Guard, He Jiami, to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack the Khitan. On the eighth day of the fifth day, Lou Shide was appointed as the deputy chief general of the Qing Bian Dao, and Shazha Zhongyi, the general of the Right Wuwei Guard, as the chief general of the front army, led 200,000 troops, and lobbled the Xi people to rebel and jointly conquer the Khitan. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Sun Wanrong asked his servants to cut off his head and surrender. At this point, the Yingzhou rebellion was finally quelled.

But the rebellion has become. As long as someone rebels a little, Yingzhou will definitely help.

So just before Shi Wei attacked Yingzhou that night, he had already contacted the Khitans in Yingzhou. Just one hour after Shi Wei arrived, the entire Yingzhou city gate was wide open.

The Mongolian soldiers of Shiweiwen occupied Yingzhou without bloodshed, and even Yingzhou did not even have a single soldier who reported the news, which made Wu Zhou in a particularly unhappy situation.

The next stop to take Yingzhou is Jizhou, and Jizhou is less than half a day away from Fanyang. At this time, the defenders of Fanyang City were less than 20,000, but Shi Wei has now had a large army of 70,000 through the alliance with the Yingzhou Khitan.

This was something no one expected. The most strange thing among them was Wu Zetian. She used the wrong person, which was equivalent to throwing Yingzhou out. After Li Longji ascended the throne, he directly shrank to the northeast.

You don’t want Yingzhou anymore because you can’t keep it well. As long as there is a rebellion, Yingzhou will not resist at all, and will even attack you in reverse.
