Chapter 176: Capture the Xia King

At the same time as Tuoba Tao attacked Tongwan, Sikong Xijin confronted Helianding, the king of the Plains of Xia Kingdom, in Chang'an, but he could not attack for a long time. This made Xi Jin, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, feel very faceless.

Helian Ding heard that the city of Tongwan had been breached, so he led his people to Tianshui. Xi Jin led his troops to pursue and chased to Yongcheng, but he did not catch up, and he was unwilling.

Tuoba Tao issued an edict ordering Xi Jin's class, and Xi Jin said: "Now, Helianchang, the king of Xia, has fled to Tianshui to protect himself and gather the remnants, which is not enough to entrench there for a long time. Now, our army is in danger of him, and it is extremely easy to completely destroy him, please increase the number of soldiers and horses, and wait for me to level Helian Chang and re-divide the division. ”

Tuoba Tao did not allow it, Xi Jin resolutely requested, and Tuoba Tao agreed. He also allocated 10,000 soldiers to Xi Jin, sent 3,000 war horses, and ordered Eqing, Qiudui and others to cooperate with Xi Jin to attack the remnants of the Tianshui Xia army.

Seeing that the date of the march is approaching, Tuoba Tao and Qiyun are about to die.

When the moon is winding, the cold wind blows the flags, and the winter nights are even colder.

Qiyun covered the cloak on his body and quietly walked into Tuoba Tao's tent, only to see him lying on the desk and falling asleep. In the past few days, Tuoba Tao has repaired the military and government, and has just taken over the capital of the Xia Kingdom. He deployed the whole army, was diligent in government affairs, had to control his subordinates, and had to settle prisoners.

He prostrated himself on the desk, holding a piece of music in his hand. Rumo's supple black hair hung down, half-covering his handsome face, and his face was no longer cold and solemn, but as calm and calm as a baby. But his brow was still slightly frowned, as if he had something on his mind.

He worked so hard. Qiyun sighed secretly, took the fold from his hand, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently caress his eyebrows, his eyes, and his face. This is what she loves, and she pours everything into love.

Tuoba Tao's eyebrows moved, and he muttered, "Yun'er, don't go." His fingers moved, and he took Qiyun's hand. She was startled, thinking that he was going to wake up, but when she looked at him again, her eyes were still closed, her brows furrowed even tighter, and she shouted again: "Yun'er, don't go." ”

It turns out that he is still asleep, and he doesn't even want her to leave in his dreams? Qiyun's heart warmed up, and she gently said in his ear: "I am here, I will always be with you." Buddha, wait for me to come back. ”

Seeing that he was asleep, she gently withdrew her hand from his palm, ironed out the wrinkles between his brows, and took a cloak and put it on him.

Qiyun stepped out of the tent and looked into the distance, the outline of the distant mountains looming. A few sparse snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, and she smiled and picked them up with her hands. There is a person who is willing to risk his life for her, regardless of the life of his family and country, and he can't forget her in his sleep. Her heart was full of emotion, she should do something for him. She left him for a longer time together.

She looked back at the tent, where the man she loved was inside. That person has nothing to do with status, just a man, the man she decided to be with for life.

She whispered to herself, "Wait until I get back, Buddha." ”

The banner covered the sky and the sun, the army slowly marched out, and Tuoba Tao led the ministers to see off the Wei army that went to encircle and suppress Helianchang.

Qiyun dressed as a man and bid farewell to Tuoba Tao with the generals, and Lu Ying followed her to her left and right.

The Wei armies from all walks of life gathered together, led by Sikong Xi Jin, to besiege Tianshui, where Helianchang, the king of Xia, was located. Helian Chang relied on the strong city wall, and had the lesson of the last time, no matter how the Wei army scolded, it was just a strong wall and a clear field, and the city was closed.

Gradually, the Wei army ran out of food and grass, and the war horses in the army unfortunately contracted the warm epidemic and died in large numbers. The soldiers lacked food, so they had to dig deep trenches and build forts to defend them.

Previously, Xi Jin and Helian Ding were defeated against each other. He is a veteran of the Three Dynasties who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has always been haunted by the defeat of a young general.

Xi Jin was eager to seek merit, and when he saw the crisis in the army, he was anxious. So, Xi Jin sent Qiu Dui to lead the army to the countryside to collect grain and force rent. The Wei soldiers were hungry for many days, and when they saw the people's grain and grass, their eyes lit up, and they looted on a large scale, and they were not prepared for the Xia army.

Helian Chang took the opportunity to plunder grain and grass, and attacked without taking precautions. As a result, the army of the Zhenxi general Qiudui was defeated and fled back to the barracks with only a few hundred cavalry.

Zhenxi General Qiu Dui is also a veteran of the Wei army, and the commander Xi Jin saw that he was defeated by Helian Chang and fled back in embarrassment, and couldn't help but feel cowardly.

Helian Chang took advantage of the victory to pursue and surrounded the Wei army. The Wei army broke through several times, but the brothers Helian Chang and Helian Ding got the true biography of Helian Bobo, fought bravely, and were good at using soldiers. Several times, the Wei army lost its troops. Coupled with the long encirclement, the Wei army was cut off from grain, which made Xi Jin and other generals deeply worried.

In the camp tent of the main general, Xi Jin invited the generals to discuss countermeasures together. Under the blow of the Xia army, morale was sluggish. Everyone was gossiping, and most of them did not agree with going out to break through the challenge, only the supervising army servant Shi Anjie and the general of Pingbei were the main battle.

Seeing this scene, An Jie said loudly: "We accepted the edict of the imperial court to destroy the enemy, but now we are surrounded by the Xia army and trapped in the lonely city, even if we are not killed by the enemy, we will also be punished by military law." Whether it is advancing or retreating, there is no way out. And the princes are still sitting there safely, and there is no plan to defeat the enemy?

Xi Jin stroked his white beard, shook his head and said: "Now, our sergeants have no horses, and they use infantry to attack the cavalry, and there is absolutely no possibility of victory. Only by waiting for His Majesty to send rescuers and war horses to the rescue and attack the enemy inside and outside can he be sure of victory. ”

An Jie stood up and asked Xi Jin for battle with a resolute expression: "Lord Sikong, now that the strong enemy is demonstrating outside the city, our soldiers in the city are exhausted, and the food has been eaten, if we don't fight the enemy immediately, we will be wiped out sooner or later, how can the rescuers wait?" Isn't it okay to die and fight to the death? ”

Coach Xi Jin listened, and refused to fight on the grounds that there were too few war horses.

An Jie clasped his hands into fists and asked the generals: "Now that we have gathered the mounts of the various generals, we can gather two hundred horses, and I ask to recruit soldiers who dare to die, and rush out of the city to fight the enemy, even if we can't break the enemy, we can also hit their spirit." Moreover, Helian Chang was impatient and unscrupulous, but he was rash and aggressive, and often personally challenged him, and the soldiers in the army knew his appearance. If the ambush soldiers suddenly attacked him, they would definitely be able to capture Helian Chang alive. ”

Xi Jin still had a difficult face, pondered again and again, and still refused An Jie's request.

Seeing this situation, An Jie and Wei Jian knew that it didn't make sense to Xi Jin. After the two stepped out of the camp, they ran into Qiyun head-on. The two of them were familiar with Qiyun, and when they knew that she had a lot of ideas, they pulled her into An Jie's camp to talk.

An Jie told Qiyun about the situation in the army and his proposal, and Qiyun pondered for a while and thought that this plan could be achieved.

So, the three of them secretly planned, went to each battalion to select elite horses, and waited for the opportunity. Soon, Helian Chang really came to attack the city again, and An Jie went out of the city to fight. Helian Chang personally went out to confront An Jie, and Helian Chang defeated the Wei army several times, and was a little careless and underestimated the enemy. An Jie fought and retreated, gradually leading him into the ambush circle set by Wei and Qiyun.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Helian Chang prepared to highlight the encirclement. At this juncture, a strong wind burst up, dust and sand flew to obscure the sky, and the day was as dark as night. Helian Chang couldn't resist it, so he fled with his horse, and An Jie followed closely.

At this time, Helianchang's mount suddenly fell, and Helianchang fell to the ground. The Wei soldiers all recognized his face and vied to besiege Helianchang, and were captured by An Jiesheng at the end.
