The Northern Wei Dynasty faced three enemies, the Xiongnu to the north of the Great Wall, the Southern Liang to the south of the Great River, and the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains separated from the Western Chu.

The Zhenbei Army stood south of the Great Wall, resisting the Hun cavalry, and the general Song Junyi sat in the army and had been holding the Great Wall for more than 14 years.

The other two major border armies have reached out to the imperial court for grain, grass and silver money year after year, which has invisibly dragged down the imperial court.

It's nothing more than a direct or indirect cry, my household is so poor that it clangs, no money and no silver, the Zhennan Army and the Zhenxi Army are fierce beasts that eat people and don't spit out bones, there is a lot of silver, grain and grass at all, if you don't know that salt and rice are expensive, the four auxiliary ministers, you have to be clear, let's give less this year?

Nakado-sama would draw a turtle on this kind of piece and throw it aside, with the obvious meaning that not a penny should be given.

However, there has never been a book to impeach the Zhenbei Army, the reason is very simple, the Zhenbei Army implements the strategic thinking of "wartime for soldiers, idle time for farmers", and can basically meet self-sufficiency, even in the early days of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, everything is in the quagmire, and the highest year of the Zhenbei Army is only half of the imperial court's treasury silver, and among the three lives and six departments of the imperial court, the household department is second only to the Ministry of Rites, and it is the second shameless, and they are embarrassed to wear small shoes for the Zhenbei Army.

What's more, Song Junyi has another layer of identity, the cousin of the old ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the royal relatives of the Eight Classics. is a high and powerful position, and he is very powerful, whoever provokes General Zhenbei is really stupid, so stupid that he can't be more stupid.

The three major border armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty, each with its own characteristics, the Zhennan Army gathered all the naval forces of the Great Wei, and there were countless ships, the Zhenxi Army had the most elite Xuantie heavy cavalry of the Great Wei, and the Zhenbei Army had the Fengsui system and the giant bow and crossbow built by Song Junyi himself.

Combined with the unique geographical advantages of the Great Wall, the Fengsui system has become the most reliable guarantee for the Zhenbei Army to detect the enemy, and the 10,000 giant bows and crossbows of the Zhenbei Army are even more powerful, and they are the most effective weapons against the Xiongnu iron cavalry.

Song Junyi is known as the world's first good general, saying that he is not enough to attack, more than enough to defend the city, old-school conservative, which is reflected in the art of war written by the old general, such as "Ten Strategies for Defending the City", "The Art of War", from beginning to end is about how to "defend the city", there has never been a word of attack, and there are many ridicules between the words that the initiative to attack is too radical, and it is the last way to lead the troops.

Song Junyi and the four major generals of the Huns have fought, in addition to the victory and defeat of Hugh Tukui, and Zhang Yuan, Hao Lianbobo, Tuoba Longye's battle results are a little embarrassing, more defeats and fewer victories, but the Zhenbei army is a small defeat every time, and it is still 108,000 miles away from the wounded muscles and bones, when the Zhenbei army retreats into the Central Plains, the Hun cavalry marches south, and the Zhenbei army relies on geographical buffers and mountains and rivers to consume and wear the advantages of the Hun cavalry, to achieve parity, and then use guerrilla warfare to push the Huns back to the north of the Great Wall.

Every time the Huns won, plundered the grain, grass and ordnance, but the heart was aggrieved, always felt that the grain and grass ordnance was the charity of the Zhenbei Army, this kind of psychology troubled, more and more despised the general of the Zhenbei Army, and ridiculed Song Junyi to give a "lady general" title.

The old general Song was also big-hearted, and when he heard about this, he didn't care about it at all, and he also wrote a ballad to abuse the Huns under the alias of "General Niangzi", which was catchy and extremely smooth.

The Huns stopped doing it and scolded back, for this reason, the old general also set off a scolding war with the Huns north of the Great Wall, and the attack power on the old general's lips far exceeded the battlefield.

The Hun army couldn't scold the old general, and could only sigh at the breadth and profundity of the Central Plains culture, so it turned out that it could still scold people like this.

At the beginning of winter this year, there was a heavy snowfall, and the inside and outside of the Great Wall were dyed white, and a strong north wind blew from the far north, rolling across the Great Wall and crashing towards the Central Plains.

As in previous years, the Zhenbei Army began to pull out the camp and set up the village, leaving some grain, and began to retreat to the south, retreating to the "Five Towns of Northern Defense", on the one hand, to survive the cold winter, on the other hand, to leave a small amount of food, to retain a part of the vitality, to avoid the Huns and dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry, and the fish from dying and breaking the net.

After Li Yuanhao left Tai'an City, he first went to the Chengde Palace, and investigated the before and after Xiuce was taken captive as a sticky pole at the sticky pole.

First, Xiuce's captivity was too simple, as if someone had deliberately exposed Xiuce's traces, and the Hun wolves entered the palace without much effort, and took Xiuce away in their sleep.

Second, the palace maids and grandmothers who took care of Xiuce all disappeared, it is not accurate to say that they disappeared, Li Yuanhao believed that they were all dead, and they were quietly obliterated.

And these two questions all illustrate a simple fact - there were spies within the Northern Wei Dynasty.

didn't have time to think deeply, Li Yuanhao knew that he had to go north as soon as possible and rescue Xiuce in the shortest possible time, before the Huns knew Xiuce's identity.

A child who is not related to the Northern Wei royal family has no need to live.

Lao Zhao is worthy of being a horse in the western domain, and his speed is extremely fast, every time he gets off the horse and stops, it is because Li Yuanhao is tired.

Turning over and dismounting, Li Yuanhao patted Lao Zhao's neck, Lao Zhao snorted, his front hooves kept kicking, and he landed on the frozen ground, making a bang-bang sound, as if he was laughing at someone, and he was tired, it was really useless!

Li Yuanhao lifted the headscarf covering his head, untied the wine bag on horseback, pulled the stopper with a slightly stiff hand, raised his head slightly, a strong wine syrup entered his stomach, and a warm explode in his stomach, finally had a little warmth, Li Yuanhao pursed his lips, bit the shriveled and hard beef jerky, glanced at the north in the wind and snow, and suddenly, she pressed her hands on the double knife on her waist.

In the wind and snow, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like an earthquake, and it was uniform, and an overwhelming momentum gradually surged towards Li Yuanhao, and I don't know when a large group of people and horses surrounded Li Yuanhao from all directions and besieged Li Yuanhao in the center.

Riding out, looking at Li Yuanhao in the field, he smiled slightly: "The Empress Dowager has made an order, the Zhenbei Army will escort you to the Xiongnu with all your might, and I will return to the Zhenbei Army. ”

Song Junyi did not reveal Li Yuanhao's identity, but expressed his thoughts implicitly.

Li Yuanhao shook his head lightly, not believing Song Junyi's words, for fear of falling into the strategy of delaying the army: "Uncle and grandfather, these people can't stop me." ”

According to the seniority, Li Yuanhao should indeed call Song Junyi an uncle and grandfather, which also conceals Li Yuanhao's selfishness, hoping to influence Song Junyi through an uncle and grandfather.

With a long sigh, Song Junyi spoke: "You are indeed not the little girl you used to be, this team of military horses really can't stop you, but someone in the Zhenbei Army can stop you." ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure appeared ten zhang away from Li Yuanhao, his clothes fluttering, and a saber on his waist swayed.

The deputy general of the Zhenbei Army, the second person in the world to use a knife, is not cold.
