Lord of the people online game

"St. Petersburg... I've never been to the Western continent yet."

Xiao Siwen led a few Khitan cavalry toward Monan Longcheng, resting at the foot of a mountain.

What surprised him was that Chu Tian could often travel between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, and Chu Tian's influence seemed to have reached the Western Continent.

However, Xiao Siwen did not care too much about what Chu Tian was doing in St. Petersburg. He wanted to see his daughter Xiao Chuo to ensure Xiao Chuo's safety.

"Sir, the blizzard on the grassland this year is really amazing. Many livestock in our tribe have been frozen to death by the blizzard. I hope that after joining the King of Xia, we will have a relief if we encounter such a blizzard in the future."

A Khitan cavalry was responsible for making fires, complaining about the horror of the snowstorm.

Nomadic tribes are so weak that a blizzard can cause incalculable losses to nomadic tribes, even if they have difficulties in survival.

"If you want to get relief, you have to pay a certain price..."

Xiao Siwen shook his head. As a minister, he knew that politically, equivalent exchanges are common.

If the Khitan tribe wants to rely on the King of Xia of the Han Empire, they have to pay the corresponding price, which may be corvee service.

"Sir, there is a cavalry approaching quickly!"

The Khitan cavalry, who were patrolling the periphery, found a cavalry close to them.

Xiao Siwen immediately stood up: "Is it the cavalry of King Xia who came to protect us to Monan Longcheng?"

Xiao Siwen only thought of this possibility at the moment, so he rode a war horse and led a few Khitan cavalry to meet with the cavalry who came to pick him up.

On the horizon of the grassland, a black line appeared, and war horses galloped, sweeping towards Xiao Siwen and others.

"There are too many cavalrymen. No, they were not sent by King Xia to pick up our cavalry!"

Xiao Siwen saw that the number of this cavalry was estimated to be as large as a thousand.

If Chu Tian sent someone to pick him up, it would be impossible to mobilize such a group of troops, otherwise it would be very likely that Chu Tian would be misunderstood by the Khitan tribe to destroy the Khitan tribe.

Chu Tian would only send more than a hundred cavalry at most.

In other words, the cavalry in front of me is likely not Chu Tian’s cavalry, but the cavalry of other forces!

...

"What? Xiao Siwen did not come to Monan Longcheng as agreed?"

Lu Su was regarded as a foreign minister by Chu Tian. He came to Monan Longcheng to pick up Xiao Siwen, but Xiao Siwen did not come to Monan Longcheng as agreed.

Liu Hu, the lord of Monan, said: "Can the Khitans temporarily repent and are unwilling to defect to us? After all, we have had a marriage with them. They were killed by the Xia king in the battle of Mobei."

Lu Su shook his head: "The Khitans should not be so ignorant. Their power is already insignificant. How can they specifically play tricks on us? If they deliberately provoke and the lord is furious, the Khitan tribe will be in a catastrophe."

Lu Su didn't believe that the Khitans would go back on their word and specifically provoked them.

The Khitan tribes have suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Liaodong Army. They are determined not to provoke the Chutian forces again, otherwise the consequences can be imagined.

"You sent a small team of cavalry to the Khitan tribe, ask Xiao Siwen again, and ask him why he did not arrive on time."

"Can."

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the Khitan tribe in person. If I meet Xiao Siwen on the way, I'll pick him up by the way."

Liu Hu soon sent a 30-man cavalry team.

Lu Su noticed unusual information from this incident.

If a person of this level can make him feel uneasy, then this must be extraordinary.

Therefore, Lu Su personally went to the Khitan tribe to negotiate with the Khitan tribe.

If the Khitan tribe regrets it, Lu Su believes that his eloquence and sincerity will make the Khitans change their ideas.

The Khitan tribe, the left-behind tribe, and the guardians of the Khitan people, Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xizhen and others received Lu Su from Longcheng, Monan, with a relatively humble attitude. After all, they had decided to rely on the Xia King of the Han Empire. Then they had to accept the ruling system of Chu Tian's power. Lu Su followed Chu Tian for several years and his status was already quite high.

"Xiao Siwen has led a cavalry team to Monan Longcheng for negotiations. How could he not be in Monan Longcheng at this time? Could it be that you don't want to accept us and try to deceive us?"

Yelu Xizhen couldn't help but wonder about the intention of Chutian's forces.

Xiao Siwen left the Khitan tribe under the farewell of Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen, and calculated the itinerary. If there were no accidents in the middle, he had already arrived in the Monan Longcheng at this time, but Lu Su claimed that he had not seen Xiao Siwen.

The current Khitan tribe is still wary of Chutian forces. Therefore, Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen have reason to suspect that Chutian forces forced Xiao Siwen to detain Xiao Siwen, and claimed that they did not see Xiao Siwen, and then found an excuse to attack the remnants of the Khitan tribe and completely annex the Khitan tribe.

Fortunately, this time the Khitan tribe was not ordinary people, but Lu Su, who was good at diplomacy.

Combined with the statements of the Khitan military generals, he soon discovered the problem: "Please don't doubt our King of Xia's determination to accept you, and I don't have to doubt your sincerity and remarks. If all of us are right, then the process in between must be a mistake."

Yelu Xiu Ge is also a smart person, and he quickly realized it: "What do you mean is that Xiao Siwen had an accident in the middle?"

Lu Su looked at Yelu Xiuge and knew that Yelu Xiuge was an excellent cavalry general: "Can the Khitan tribes make enemies with the surrounding forces recently?"

Yelu Xiuge thought for a moment: "After the death of the Liao King, we will no longer cause trouble, and the surrounding tribes should not attack Xiao Siwen's squad. But..."

Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen looked at each other inadvertently, and they soon realized the problem: "After Xiao Siwen left, Wanyan Aguda sent someone to win over our tribe, but was rejected by our tribe. The envoys were angry and might attack Xiao Siwen's cavalry to show revenge."

After hearing Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen's words, Lu Su thought about it, and the situation was very obvious: "Maybe Wanyan Aguda wants to use such clumsy means to provoke the fight between us. If I hadn't come to your tribe to find out, maybe I had fallen into Wanyan Aguda's trap. The most urgent task is to find Xiao Siwen, or the place where he disappeared."

"If Wanyan Aguda really acted like this, he would definitely pay the price!"

After hearing Lu Su's speculation, Yelu Xizhen became even more dissatisfied with Wanyan Aguda.

The Liao generals and Jin generals both saw that each other was uncomfortable.

After Lu Su made a speculation, Yelu Xizhen personally led a team of Khitan cavalry and went with Lu Su to investigate the disappearing Xiao Siwen's traces.

As for Yelu Xiuge, he stayed behind the Khitan tribe.

...

In the place where Xiao Siwen disappeared, several Khitan cavalry who followed Xiao Siwen died in battle, with arrows inserted on their bodies, and were obviously shot and killed by cavalrymen who were good at cavalry.

With the help of the wild wolf, Yelu Xizhen's cavalry easily found the missing Xiao Siwen team.

When they discovered several Khitan cavalry that Xiao Siwen took away, these Khitan cavalry had lost their breath.

"Without Xiao Siwen, he is likely to be captured."

Yelu Xizhen counted all the Khitan cavalry that fell on the battlefield, but did not find Xiao Siwen's traces, which was a blessing in disgrace.

Lu Su carefully checked the scars on the dead Khitan cavalry and tried to find clues: "The attack on Xiao Siwen's cavalry did not even loot their property, not to seize the money."

"That must be the one who beat Wanyan Agu!"

Yelu Xizhen, who came with Lu Su, was not a reckless man. He heard Lu Su's analysis and the scene of the Khitan cavalry that was killed in front of him, and turned the target of doubt into Wanyan Aguda.

Not long ago, the Khitan tribe refused Wanyan Aguda's recruitment. Wanyan Aguda's envoy must have a grudge and specifically ambushed Xiao Siwen to take revenge.

"It may not be Wanyan Aguda's cavalry. There are many Xianbei tribes on the southern mourning grassland."

Lu Su considered the problem more comprehensively. Based on facts, he did not easily take the charge on Wanyan Aguda's head.

Yelu Xizhen felt like the Khitan tribe he represented was being played with: "No matter which tribe it is, the corresponding price must be paid to attack our Khitan cavalry!"

...

In St. Petersburg, Chu Tian received the latest information from Lu Su. Xiao Siwen, who was originally coming to negotiate with Chu Tian, ​​lost his trace on the grasslands in the south of the desert.

"It seems that something happened to your father."

Chu Tian told Xiao Chuo when facing the situation of troubles.

Xiao Siwen's disappearance made the Khitan tribe, who originally planned to surrender to Chutian's power, hesitated, and even doubted whether Xiao Siwen was detained by Chutian, casting a shadow on the negotiations.

"He would not have escaped at the last minute, and he was captured by someone with other intentions. If this was the case, it might be a good thing for him, because it means he would not be killed."

Xiao Chuo remained calm, so calm that he was terrible that he thought that Xiao Siwen was not only not killed, but was still alive.

"I have arranged for Liu Hu, Lu Su and others to work with the Khitan tribe to find Xiao Siwen's whereabouts. Once Xiao Siwen is found, they will notify you and me as soon as possible."

Chu Tian calmed Xiao Chuo's emotions a little. Although the negotiations with the Khitan tribe were a little twists and turns, as long as the Khitan tribe did not join forces with other nomadic tribes, it would become a disaster in the future.

"Thank you, lord, for taking care of the Khitan tribe."

This time, Xiao Chuo's loyalty to Chu Tian increased.

In this incident, Chu Tian's attitude towards the Khitan tribe was already friendly enough and gained Xiao Chuo's favor.

"Who kidnapped Xiao Siwen?"

Chu Tian is also considering potential enemies.

Someone who robbed Xiao Siwen and destroyed the negotiations between Chu Tian and the Khitan tribe, certainly he was unwilling to let Chu Tian's forces annex the Khitan tribe, or if there were other forces who wanted to annex the Khitan tribe, they would interfere with it.

...

In the Khitan tribe, Yelu Xizhen took away the cavalry and investigated Xiao Siwen's whereabouts, and Yelu Xiuge was in charge of the Khitan tribe.

“Increase your vigilance.”

Yelu Xiuge noticed something unusual and sent Khitan cavalry to patrol around the tribe to prevent any enemy from taking the opportunity to attack the Khitan tribe.

A few days after Xiao Siwen disappeared, the Khitan tribe was indeed attacked by dense cavalry!

The first to be attacked were the Khitan tribes deployed to serve cavalry on the periphery.

"Enemy attack!"

The Khitan tribe, who originally thought it was calm, was suddenly attacked and immediately fell into a sea of ​​fire.

The tents of the Khitan tribe were burned with rockets by the prepared enemies. The camp was filled with smoke and fire. The enemy's arrows covered the sky and shot Khitan scouts on the periphery!

"Sure enough, someone secretly attacked Xiao Siwen's cavalry unit. Damn, the tribes of the Khitan tribe follow me to fight!"

Yelu Xiuge led the Khitan cavalry to attack the incoming enemy.

Two cavalrymen fought against the outside of the Khitan tribal camp.

The rain of arrows in the sky was like locusts falling. The cavalry on both sides drew out their sabers and charged towards each other. The war horses galloped, and the swords, horses and rifles collided!

Although Yelu Xiuge's cavalry was very good at fighting and was a surviving Khitan veteran and had considerable combat effectiveness, he was still at a disadvantage in the face of unknown enemies who were far more people than him.

Moreover, Yelu Xiuge discovered that this unknown cavalry had a combat power that was no less than that of the cavalry he commanded. Among them, the elite cavalry and sharpshooters among this unknown cavalry were even more combat power than the cavalry he commanded!

"Can they be the cavalry commanded by Wanyan Aguda himself?"

Yelu Xiuge speculated that if this was Wanyan Aguda's forces attacking the Khitan tribe, then it must be the cavalry led by Wanyan Agu himself that could show a higher bonus to the cavalry troops than Yelu Xiuge.

Few other Jin generals could surpass Yelu Xiuge. After all, Yelu Xiuge is a first-class cavalry hero in the Khitan tribe. Ordinary Jurchen generals are not opponents of Yelu Xiuge. Even excellent Jurchen generals are mostly just equal to Yelu Xiuge.

"No, Wanyan Aguda should be in a tug of war with the Liaodong Army at this time, and it is impossible for him to go deep into the south of the desert to attack our Khitan tribe. Furthermore, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom only came to the Khitan tribe for a few days, and Wanyan Aguda could not come to the Khitan tribe in person in just a few days and launch an attack. Could it be that other nomadic tribes launched an attack on us?"

When Yelu Xiu Ge thought of this possibility, and this possibility was not small, his face couldn't help but change.

If it was really other nomadic tribes, the consequences might be extremely tragic. The Khitan tribes might be wiped out in this battle and will be removed from the list.

"I am responsible for cutting off the rear. You lead the tribe members to retreat to the direction of Monan Longcheng and inform them of this news that an unknown cavalry attacked our tribe!"

Yelu Xiuge witnessed the huge number of enemies coming, with at least tens of thousands of cavalry. He knew that the Khitan tribe was in crisis again, so he asked several other Khitan generals to lead the tribe's tribe's tribe to migrate to the Monan Longcheng to the west.

The Khitan tribe has declined many times. If it is hit hard again, it may disappear from now on.

Without being sure to defeat the other party, Yelu Xiuge must consider protecting the tribe's tribe members, and the tribe cannot be destroyed in his hands.

"Capture the Khitan tribes and capture all the Khitan population for our purposes!"

On the periphery of the Khitan tribe, a cavalry leader commanded tens of thousands of cavalry to encircle and suppress the Khitan tribe where Yelu Xiuge was located.

The disappearing Xiao Siwen became a prisoner of the cavalry leader and was forced to follow the cavalry leader.

His face turned pale because he already knew the origin of this cavalry. The cavalry leader was not inferior to Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda.

Even Yelu Xiu Ge is likely to be no match for him.

The cavalry leader looked at the Khitan tribe camp that had become a sea of ​​fire, and was unmoved. Instead, he turned to Xiao Siwen and said, "Xiao Siwen, you and your Khitan tribe should serve me, and I will make you king. And you only need to join my army, defeat powerful opponents for me, expand your territory, and build a great empire."

"Impossible, you don't know the strength of King Xia of the Han Empire. If Temujin's powerful enemies are defeated by him, you will also face the same failure as Temujin, and you will never be able to recover."

"Then I really need to see how powerful King Xia of the Han Empire is. This prairie should belong to us, not King Xia's pasture."

"The prairie, those with strength live there. Today you have captured me, and King Xia and my daughter will avenge me. You are the one who is in trouble."

"Are you threatening me?"

The cavalry leader's eyes showed a fierce look.

Xiao Siwen refused to answer.

He knew that the cavalry leader would cause trouble for Chutian's forces sooner or later conflict with Chutian's forces. In other words, his daughter would avenge him sooner or later.

There were at least tens of thousands of unknown cavalrymen. They surrounded the Khitan tribe from all directions. Arrows were raining and fire spread across the Khitan tribe. The Khitan tribe was in an unprecedented crisis.

Yelu Xiuge led the last cavalry of the Khitan tribe to delay this powerful enemy and gain time for the Khitan tribe to transfer.

Yelu Xiuge is also worthy of being a legendary hero of the Khitan tribe. Under his leadership, the Khitan cavalry fought bravely and fought with the enemy.

The enemy burned their new camp and angered the Khitan cavalry!

Many Khitan cavalry just wanted to graze well, but were targeted by the enemy. The enemy in front of them wanted to conquer and enslave the Khitan tribe, so the Khitan cavalry had to fight to the death!

Because of the heroic resistance of Yelu Xiuge and the Khitan cavalry, the enemies who attacked the Khitan tribe did not get much benefit, and there were thousands of dead on both sides!

Blood stained the camps of the Khitan tribes red, and contrasted with the sea of ​​fire.

"General Yelu, we are waiting for you in Monan Longcheng!"

The Khitan generals who were transferred in advance looked red. Yelu Xiuge bought time for them and might die under the attack of unknown cavalry.

This unknown cavalry has too many troops, and its elite level is even higher than that of the cavalry led by Yelu Xiuge.

The ability to come to the enemy has exceeded that of Yelu Xiuge, and has reached the level of Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Aguda.

"If I were still alive, I would definitely meet with you. If there is no time to hesitate, you can leave quickly."

Yelu Xiuge drew his sword and fought again with the unknown cavalry who were chasing him.

The population of the Khitan tribe was able to be transferred because of the desperate battles of Yelu Xiuge and the Khitan cavalry. However, under the interception of the other party, many Khitan tribes were still robbed, just like the Liaodong Legion swept the Korqin grassland, and the Khitan tribe lost a group of people again.

"The courage of capturing this Khitan general is worthy of his life and serving me!"

The cavalry leader discovered that Yelu Xiuge fought bravely, and Yelu Xiuge's cavalry also had strong combat capabilities, so he became loving talents and wanted to include Yelu Xiuge in the account.

More and more cavalry surrounded Yelu Xiuge, a Khitan cavalry, and his companions died from the opponent's rain of arrows. Yelu Xiuge was a little hysterical, but he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and bonus to the cavalry and was not the opponent to the enemy at all.

There are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven!

The enemy's target seemed to be capturing Yelu Xiuge, so he did not shoot Yelu Xiuge, otherwise Yelu Xiuge would have been shot and killed by the opponent's sharpshooter who was good at riding and shooting.

A cavalry came to Yelu Xiuge, but Yelu Xiuge blocked the spear with a long sword, and then Yelu Xiuge killed the opponent's cavalry!

However, the number of cavalry on the opponent was too large. An enemy who looked like an opponent's general waved his ring-headed sword and confronted Yelu Xiuge. The huge impact made Yelu Xiuge's tiger mouth numb.

When Yelu Xiu Ge was in pain, several cavalry came to siege and stabbed Yelu Xiu Ge with spears. After more than a dozen rounds, the enemy's generals finally successfully captured Yelu Xiu Ge.

At this time, the entire Khitan tribe had become a sea of ​​fire. The enemy's cavalry plundered the entire tribe, captured tens of thousands of people, and transported the spoils back to his tribe. Yelu Xiuge became a prisoner and could only watch the enemy's camp of the Khitan tribe, but he was powerless because his life was difficult to protect himself.

"Mr. Shanyu, as you told me, I will successfully capture this person."

"Youxian King, your contribution will increase your population by 1,000."

The cavalry leader seemed to be very satisfied with the results of the battle.

"Xiao Siwen, I didn't expect you to fall into their hands. I should have thought that this was not Wanyan Aguda's cavalry, but the Huns' cavalry!"

When Yelu Xiuge heard the titles between them and the clothes of the enemy, he quickly realized that these people were not Jurchens, but the Huns. There was a big difference between the Jurchens and the Huns.

"That's right, this grassland in the north of the desert and the grassland in the south of the desert should be the pastures of our Huns. Temujin and the Han Empire stole this land. Soon, I will use my strength to reconquer this grassland and retake the land that originally belonged to us Huns."

The cavalry leader was ambitious. In his opinion, this land was a pasture given to the Huns by God, rather than a battlefield where the Han Empire competed with Temujin.

"I don't know who you are among the Huns, but the Han Empire has the King of Xia, and is not a person who is easy to mess with. If you destroy our Khitan tribe for your ambitions, I will not serve you."

Yelu Xiuge had a deep sense of identity with the Khitan tribe. The Xiongnu Khan's behavior of looting the Khitan tribe angered Yelu Xiuge, so Yelu Xiuge had resentment towards the Xiongnu Khan.

"If you don't serve me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"A real man does something, but he doesn't do anything."

"You are as stubborn as Xiao Siwen, but sooner or later you will surrender to me, because I will soon defeat the King of Xia of the Han Empire and reoccupate this vast pasture. Come and withdraw your troops!"

After attacking the Khitan tribe, the Xiongnu Khan knew that Chu Tian’s troops deployed on the southern desert grassland would be likely to encircle and suppress it, so he carefully avoided the troops of Chu Tian’s forces. He still needed time to accumulate strength before he dared to take the initiative to launch a comprehensive attack.

The power of the Hun tribe gradually formed.

Fortunately, the man named Lu Su was not in the tribe at this time.

Yelu Xiuge was relieved when he thought that Lu Su was still outside. Lu Su and Yelu Xizhen went to find the disappeared Xiao Siwen. As long as they did not fall into the hands of the Huns, they might soon find reinforcements to rescue the captured Khitan tribe.

If the Khitan tribe is all plundered by the Huns, the strength of the Huns will greatly increase, which is really not a good thing for the Han Empire.

"Totally burn everything here without leaving anything."

Before the Xiongnu Khan left, the Xiongnu cavalry carried out the final scavenging of the Khitan tribes and completely razed the Khitan tribes' camps to the ground.

Shortly after the Hun cavalry left, Lu Su and Yelu Xizhen led the cavalry back to the Khitan tribe, and saw thick smoke rolling over the tribe camp from afar.

"No, the enemy attacked the Khitan tribe!"

Lu Su suddenly understood.

Now Lu Su has basically confirmed that an unknown cavalry had sneaked into Xiao Siwen's cavalry squad. Now more cavalry attacked the Khitan tribes, and their purpose is likely to be to annex the population of other tribes, just like they annex the surrounding tribes.

According to this logic, the nomadic civilization that attacked the Khitan tribes was likely to be the Hun cavalry from the northern desert.

Because according to the report of Prince Yan who managed Mobei and Di Qing, a powerful Xiongnu cavalry was gathering in the area of ​​Langjuxu Mountain in Mobei. The number of this Xiongnu cavalry may have accumulated to a scale of 100,000, which is extremely terrible. Di Qing may not have achieved any benefit from it when fighting with him. It can be seen that his leader is not a person who is easy to mess with.

Based on the connections, Lu Su quickly guessed that the Huns were the ones who were secretly active. The Huns were once the master of this grassland, which gave the Han Empire a headache for hundreds of years. Since the Warring States Period to the Western Jin Dynasty, the Huns cavalry have been active on the grasslands in the north. They were the earliest grassland overlords, so they should not be underestimated.

Understanding the connection, Lu Su immediately sent someone to notify Liu Hu and the cities in the south of the Mo, reminding the lords to be careful of being attacked by the Hun cavalry. The Hun cavalry was obviously gathering troops and intending to expand their territory.

For the Huns, losing the grassland is an eternal pain in their hearts.

It is also important for the Huns, the Dragon City, which is a holy land, so they may attack these places. In case of precautions, they must be prepared.

"No matter what kind of Huns attacked our tribe, they would only have a dead end to provoke our Khitan tribe!"

Yelu Xizhen led the cavalry back to the Khitan tribe and found that the population of the tribe had been dispersed, and many people died in war or were captured by the Xiongnu Khan, which made Yelu Xizhen angry and embarrassed.

In the East and West, the lords were having headaches for the Huns. These grassland overlords and their descendants still roamed everywhere, attacking cities and villages everywhere, becoming a threat.

Lu Su and Yelu Xizhen went to Longcheng, Monan. At this time, the two sides had no idea of ​​negotiations. Instead, they prepared for the Hun cavalry. Lu Su even went to St. Petersburg in person and asked Chu Tian for instructions.

"Let Li Mu return to the south of the desert."

Chu Tian transferred back to Li Mu in the area of ​​Lake Baikal to guard the more important desert south.
