In modern times, more than 20 kilometers away from the urban area of Shuozhou, there is a natural village called Mayi. In the pre-Qin period, the first emperor sent the general Meng Tian to chase the Xiongnu in the north outside the Yanmen Pass, and Mayi was the place where the general Meng raised horses back then, and its name also came from this. In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the war of the Northern Han Expedition against the Xiongnu began from this city, and the famous 'Mayi Strategy' was also named after the place.

Although Ma Yi is secluded in a corner, it is really a key point in the borderlands. The people here are fierce, farming and nomadism, Han and Turkic people are mixed, and it is also a border trade city. After a few months of travel, Li Jing and his party had arrived at the border, and their next plan was to secretly enter Mayi.

Li Jing did not have many soldiers in his hands, but they were very expensive, because there were often generals and soldiers at the border pass to change guards, as long as Li Jing and Wei Chi Jingde did not show up, there would be more soldiers and generals suddenly, and the Turks would not care too much.

The young general who was staying in Ma Yi had received a message more than a month ago, and he had long been looking forward to looking for the boss Chai Shao after handing over to Li Jing. Since Li Jing led all elite soldiers, and now is not the time when the two armies are fighting in a tense situation, the secret handover was completed in an orderly manner in one night. When the Turkic herdsmen and spies found that there were many new faces in Mayi, it was really a normal change of guard.

After a few months of traveling, the season has crossed from winter to spring, and everyone has already been tossed into half a savage. We're here to fight, and the war hasn't been fought yet, so we definitely can't put on a banquet just because we entered the city, but we can still do it with a hot shower and a big meal.

The Turkic people have also been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, and then there is the ** brought by Jieli, and the Turkic tribes have been plundering the people and caravans. Li Jing took over the border city, so he naturally had to take charge of the duties of the original guard. The day after entering the city, Li Jing convened a meeting in the military tent.

Since Wang Xiran and Zhou Qi were both white, the two chose to sit on the couch at the end of the big tent after entering the big tent. Even so, I didn't see any unnatural looks on their faces, and I wasn't frightened by the bloody men in the account.

Everyone knows that there is a young man who has lived in Wang Xianbo's family for a long time, this person is from the Langya Wang side branch, and he is not only friendly with Wang Xianbo and Mo Juzi, but also has close contacts with several family owners.

No matter how shrewd the family is, people like Wang Xianbo and Mo Juzi are not ordinary people to befriend, especially when the other party is white and has no talent. In this way, there is only one explanation, this person has his own uniqueness, but I don't know what he is good at. This man didn't talk much, and when he was in a hurry, there was no fight to fight, and many people observed him all the way without finding a clue.

Wang Xiran is also wilted, he naturally saw that some men often observed him, and even went to him to hang around when he was fine, but every time he deliberately took out a book to read. I held back what the men wanted to say, let's go through two moves.

Li Jing was also helpless, he didn't know this person. The prince said that this person was specially looking for a helper for us, and Wang Xianbo said that this person knew how to use new weapons, and for the above reasons, Li Jing could only nod and agree to take him.

After observing all the way, when the men tested him in different tricks, he could let people leave without saying a word every time, Li Jing felt a little interesting, and had a hunch that he seemed to have picked up a treasure. As for whether this person is a waste or a treasure, you can find out by testing it yourself.

Li Jing waved his hand, and the young general standing beside him spoke: "We patrolled for a day, and I heard from the border city that the raids of the Turks in recent years have been more rampant as usual. Not to mention Jieli Khan, even Tuli Khan has become rampant since last year, can we fight it?"

Wei Chi Jingde's face turned dark, and he shouted: "That kid Tuli had a quarrel with Jieli since the first year of Zhenguan, and sent people to Chang'an to complain three times and twice, saying that Jieli was bullying him, and asked the saint to send troops to help. Besides, we also had a natural disaster at that time, and there was a previous covenant in him, and the Holy God was breaking the covenant to help him. This kid is good, see we didn't help, this is revenge!"

There was silence in the big tent for a moment, and everyone didn't know what to say. The saint first called others a brother and a brother, and people really had something to find him and started to be a turtle again, so he couldn't blame people for being angry. As for plundering, the Turks are the same as the Xiongnu in history, if you are strong, he will bow down, and if you have a crisis, he will take advantage of his life, and they are all villains who cannot be trusted.

Not wanting to pick up Wei Chi Jingde's words, everyone moved their eyes to Li Jing.

Seeing this, Li Jing coughed lightly and said, "What does Wang Dalang think?"

Wang Xiran played a game with everyone, and he was not ready to continue, he got up and replied: "The grass people think that if they can't bear it, they will make a big plan, and if they fight back, they will let the Turkic spies see the clues, so as to strengthen their defense." ”

Everyone in the account has no choice but to agree, and can only endure it at present.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding outside the account walked in quickly, "General, General Li Ji's personal soldiers are here, saying that there is something important to report." ”

Calculating the time, he has just arrived in Tongmo, could it be that something big has happened?!

The people in the account were shocked when they heard this, and Li Jing hurriedly said: "Quickly bring people in!"

Strangely, the people who came to dress up as merchants were completely different from what they imagined day and night, covered in dust, and a few horses running and dying. The man first saluted everyone in the account, and then explained the origin, "Wang Xianbo's disciple is in Turkic, and he sent news yesterday that Jieli wants to settle the army. Now that the Turks are full of internal contradictions, it is a good time to raid. ”

Yu Chi Da Hei Xiong looked at Wang Jue's disciple who was about to make great contributions, and immediately thought of his stupid son who was turned away, and he muttered: "The news came yesterday, why did you come to sue us today?"

"Back to General Wei Chi, I went here with Huang Langjun earlier, and I have never returned to Chang'an. Yesterday, I wanted to come to report, but when I saw that there was a change in defense, I observed for a day before I was sure that it was General Li who came. Jieli Khan just wants to garrison troops, and he hasn't done it yet, so I can't delay the military plane at this time. "The people taught by Li Ji are not the ones who are willing to suffer.

In fact, Wei Chi Jingde regretted it just now, he just didn't deal with Wang Jue and was a little depressed, what kind of strength did he teach Li Ji's personal soldiers. Hearing this, the big black bear didn't say anything more, but hugged his fists and saluted, which can be regarded as an apology.

Zhou Qi couldn't hold back, and interjected and asked, "How is my Senior Brother Huang, is he in danger now?"

The man hesitated for a while when he heard this, and heard from the Mo family caravan that Huang Langjun had a brand on his face, which he only said when he wrote to the general. As for the letter written back by Huang Langjun, it is said that there is no mention of this matter.

Without waiting for Zhou Qi to ask more, and without waiting for everyone to study who to investigate, the off-the-books soldiers trotted in again, "General, the subordinates of the Tuli Khan have sent a letter!"

Yo, the robbers dare to come to deliver the letter, how shameless. Come on, tell us what he said.

The soldiers who can keep the tent when discussing major events are Li Jing's personal soldiers, and when he looks at him, the soldiers know what it means.

took out the letter and read, "Our Khan and the Holy Lord are brothers, and we have the same friendship with Li Jing, you should have more respect for us." New boy, brother won't bully you, give you 50 sheep, and hurry up and put our people back. ”

After everyone reacted, they all looked at Li Jing and Tong Ze?!

Li Jing's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to know how much Tuli had said to him in the past! Unwilling to explain this, Li Jing asked, "When did we arrest his people?"

Su Dingfang replied: "When I was patrolling last night, I encountered a group of Turkic soldiers robbing the caravan, about 300 people, and they were all captured. ”

They had just arrived in Mayi the day before yesterday, and Li Jing would definitely send a capable young general to patrol the defense, and it would also be convenient to find out the situation in the border city, and Su Dingfang was a good candidate for this. Since people have been patrolling outside, Su Dingfang only reported the situation once a morning, and he held a meeting directly this morning, so Li Jing didn't know about the Turkic soldiers.

"Tuli wants to exchange 50 sheep for more than 300 people, what do you think?"

Without waiting for others to answer, Wei Chi Jingde rolled his eyes, looked at Zhou Qi and asked, "Little girl, what do you think?"

Zhou Qi had no stage fright, she raised her chin and replied: "How much is the meat of 50 sheep compared to the meat of more than 300 people, we will naturally lose this deal." ”

Speechless, Zhou Xiaoniang still plans to eat human flesh? Recalling the rumors about her, many hob men swallowed their saliva unconsciously, she may really have a problem with human flesh......

Li Jing looked at Wang Xiran again, "What does Wang Dalang think, how should we reply?"

Wang Xiran said with a smile: "Bargain with them first, and in the end, the price must be feasible but others can't do it, so drag them for a while and then let them go to Tuli to report." In this way, they should not dare to loot again during this time, at least there will not be so many actions, and we can prepare for the raid with all our might. As for Tuli, whether he wants to be another big fish or not depends on his own decision. ”

Wei Chi Jingde patted the case and said: "The kid is right, we don't think there are too many fish, but the score is dialed!"

There was a burst of hearty laughter from inside the account, this time the saint sent so many people out, everyone wanted to make meritorious contributions, and the typical monks had more porridge and less porridge. Let's be lucky, let's not talk about it if we don't take the bait, if the raid can be done, we won't be able to run away with a great achievement.

There are also people secretly observing Wang Xiran, and secretly saying that this kid is also very easy to get along with, don't you ask with a smile and answer what, why didn't we come forward when we wanted to talk to him a few days ago. Listening to his answers, there are things that we can't think of, he can come up with ideas with a roll of his eyes, and he is a talent. Such a military and strategist-type character, make friends first, and see if you can be abducted to your own team in the future.

And Wang Xiran and Zhou Qi were staring at Li Ji's personal soldiers, for fear that people would run away. Judging by his hesitant look, there must be something hidden in them that they don't know.
