Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 344 The Defeat of Muerhu
The original plan was to capture Shanzhou and Lingbao. Unexpectedly, Guo Ziyi even captured Tongguan. This is undoubtedly a staged victory for the Tang Dynasty against the rebels, and it is also a turning point.

Suzong Li Heng was so excited that he couldn't sleep, he sent envoys to call Guo Ziyi back to Lingwu, probably to discuss the recovery of Chang'an City.

Guo Ziyi understood that before leaving Tongguan, he instructed the remaining [-] Tang troops, Shanzhou and Lingbao, to abide by the rules.As long as Tongguan is still in his hands, Guo Ziyi has [-]% confidence in defeating the rebels in Chang'an City and regaining Chang'an City.

On April [-], Guo Ziyi crossed the Yellow River from Tongguan, walked east of the river, crossed the Yellow River again in the Fenzhou area, and went straight to Lingwu.When Guo Ziyi arrived in Lingwu, it was already the middle of April in the second year of Suzong Zhide.

Pinglu Road, Pingzhou City.

After five months of constantly pulling away the people fleeing the war, the generals of Henan Province "cooperated fully" for the food promised by Li Fei, and almost "guided" all the refugees in Henan Province to Dengzhou. The total number exceeded one million!

And Li Fei, as agreed, for every five people who successfully arrived in Andong, he would 'aid' the generals of Henan Province with one shi of grain, and more than one million refugee people would get more than 20 shi of grain.

The generals of Henan Province were also overjoyed to get so much food, and they should even expand their army.

In the direction of land, take Lutai County, which is the direction of Tianjin in later generations, and pass through Pingzhou and Shanhaiguan, which is obviously much more convenient than the sea route.With 150 elite Anton cavalry escorting them, the rebels in Hebei prefectures did not dare to move. They watched helplessly as refugees poured into Lutai, and finally into Andong, becoming the population under Li Fei's rule.Because of the continuous wars in Hedong, countless refugees came from Hedong. In five months, more than [-] million refugees crossed Shanhaiguan and arrived in Andong by land.

In just five months, the combined sea route has increased the population of Anton by more than 260 million. Today, the population of Anton and Pinglu Road has reached more than 620 million.

Due to the surge in population, the fields reclaimed by the construction of water conservancy projects in recent years have basically been allotted.

Li Fei ordered to develop along the Liaohe River to the northern plains of the Liaohe River near Khitan.

The land in the northern plain of the Liaohe River is also fertile. If it is developed, it can support an additional 200 million people. In the past, because of the threat of the Khitan cavalry and the Wuluo cavalry, there was no danger to defend there, so it has not been developed.

Now, Anton's strength is not what it used to be, but Khitan and Wuluo are both weakened and much weaker than before.Especially the Khitan, years of wars have already made them young and old, and now Muerhu is still fighting endless civil wars with Princess Yangu and Yelucha supported by Li Fei. Li Fei estimates that in the past few days, Muerhu and Yangu Princess Gu and Yelvcha are about to decide the outcome, which completely determines the future ownership of Khitan.

Just as Li Fei thought, after nearly half a year of see-saw, the two forces of Murhu, Princess Yangu and Yelucha on the Khitan grassland will soon decide the winner.

It should be said that Mu Erhu came from the second largest tribe of Khitan, and was established as the new leader of Khitan by An Lushan.Then he took [-] Khitan elites and went south with the Anlu Mountain rebellion. Although more than half of them were lost in the Central Plains, when they returned to the Khitan Grassland, there were only less than [-] cavalry left, but they all came back with excellent equipment.

Fish scale armor and some horizontal knives.

The Khitan cavalry were already fierce, but with fish scale armor and some horizontal saber equipment, they were even more fierce.

Although Princess Yangu and Yelucha, with the support of Li Fei, had tens of thousands of cavalry and [-] sets of armor aided by Li Fei when Mu Erhu returned to the Khitan Grassland, their strength was not as good as that of Mu Erhu .

At the beginning, Princess Yangu and Yelucha had lost consecutive battles, so they could only rely on Chifeng and other three major stone cities for defense.

Later, Princess Yangu and Yelucha revealed An Lushan's conspiracy to the Khitans who followed Muerhu, which aroused the anger of many Khitans who followed Muerhu, and the hearts of Muerhu's subordinates were scattered. Princess Yangu and Yelucha Only then slowly regained momentum and overwhelmed Mu Erhu.

Princess Yangu was Li Feili's titular Khitan leader, but in fact the Khitan cavalry belonging to Princess Yangu were basically under the command of Yelucha, and it was Yelucha who single-handedly overwhelmed Murhu.

Yelucha is really a character, and Li Fei doubts whether Yelucha brought up the Khitan after the Anshi Rebellion in history.

Because An Lushan's conspiracy was exposed, Mu Erhu, as the leader established by An Lushan at the beginning, refused to admit Anlushan's conspiracy against Khitan over the years. Many people who originally followed him turned to Princess Yangu and Yelucha , Now Princess Yangu and Yelucha have more than 9000 Khitan cavalry under their command, but there are only more than 1000 Khitan cavalry from his own tribe left around Murhu, who are besieged by Yelucha regiments.

"Murhu, you're at the end of your game, surrender!" Yelucha called out to Muerhu indifferently.

"Yelucha, you and Princess Yangu are just Li Fei's lackeys, Khitan will be defeated by you sooner or later." Mu Erhu's face twitched, and he roared at Yelucha.

"You don't have to worry about that, Khitan will prosper in my hands!" Yelucha narrowed his eyes slightly, and said full of will.

"Hahahaha, you, Yelucha, are as ambitious as you, and you are not willing to let others down!" Mu Erhu suddenly recognized the ambition hidden in Yelucha's words, and immediately said with a big laugh.

"If you want to fight, you can fight. It is impossible for me to surrender!" He surrendered to Yelucha and was taken to kneel in front of Princess Yangu. He was absolutely unwilling.

Even though Princess Yangu is the daughter of Qian Huaixiu Khan and the current head of Khitan in name, but it belongs to Li Feili, and more importantly, Princess Yangu is a woman!Mo Erhu's chest was burning with anger. How could a woman be the leader of the Khitan? I'm afraid it was Li Fei's plaything that was supported by Li Fei, which was a disgrace to the Khitan.Khitan can only follow the strong forever!
"Kill!" Yelucha did not continue to persuade him to surrender, but ordered his Khitan cavalry to charge.

More than 9000 cavalry besieged and killed more than 1000 cavalry. The advantage is too great, and the ending is already doomed. All the hundreds of Khitan cavalry surrendered to Yelucha.

Following Yelucha's triumphant return to Chifeng King City, the ownership of Khitan was completely established.

All the tribes of Khitan came to worship Princess Yangu and accepted her leadership in name.

Of course, in fact, they were more willing to follow Yelucha's leadership, because it was Yelucha who defeated Mu'erhu with one hand.Although Princess Yangu is a woman, she is Qianhuaixiu Khan's daughter, she is a woman after all, they always have some resistance in their hearts, but it is because of Li Fei's strength and Yelucha's all-out loyalty to Princess Yangu, so they There was no desire to resist.

In such a situation, it is undeniable that if Yelucha ascended to the top, the Khitan tribes would be more willing to let Yelucha be the leader.
