Zhi Yanchong's northward advance and Xiao Tienu's tragic killing played a complementary role. If there was no threat from the southeast, the enemy would not relax the encirclement, the Mongolian and Ugu tribes would not be afraid, and Yelu Tiege would not be in a hurry to fight Xiao Tienu. On the other hand, the battle fifty miles west of the city of Kedun made the prestige of the Han army, and the newly annexed Arathu Mahei and others strengthened their determination to surrender, and the enemy martyrs, who were still a little hesitant, also hurriedly sent envoys to express their willingness to surrender.

When Zheyan Chong accepted the surrender and allegiance of the six chieftains of the enemy on the bank of the Yuqu River, Mughul had already arrived in the city of Kedun, and Xiao Jun passed the order on behalf of his father, leaving 2,000 soldiers and horses brought by Mun, and increasing the 5,000 soldiers and horses in Kedun City, and ordered him to march west on the same day to capture Victoria and Zhaozhou. He also sent a cavalry squad to the northeast to track down the Mongols, and sent the Merikyu tribes to the city of Kedun to pay homage to the vassals.

After Zhe Yanchong heard about the arrangement of Xiao Tienu's father and son in the west, he summoned the generals to a meeting, Puluhu was on the left, Ren Dejing was on the right, and the generals or suggested that they should hurry to the city of Kedun to meet the teacher, Ren Dejing said: "Before, we first entered Mobei, and our prestige was not established, so we need to find a battle to fight and need victory." Now that Yelu Tiege's vitality has been greatly damaged, and the Hindrance Department and the Enemy Martyrdom Department have all surrendered, the next key is not victory or defeat, but the rations of the soldiers. Our army is more than 100,000, together with hundreds of thousands of logistics horses, and it consumes 100,000 people every day. In the long run, the central side is afraid that it will not be able to support it. If the army goes a hundred miles west, the cost of military rations will be 10% more! If all the 100,000 troops are brought to the city of Kedun, I am afraid that it will not be enough to expand the results of the battle, but it will invite trouble. Therefore, more soldiers are better than few. Now that the enemy is new and has the intention of currying favor with us, we just take advantage of this and order them to make meritorious contributions to the vanguard to kill the enemy. As for the officers and soldiers of the Han army, they will not be sent here. Choose a good site and reap the benefits. ”

Zhi Yan nodded and said: "Duansu's words are very much in line with my wishes. He sent him to lead 10,000 cavalry to the city of Kedun as a reinforcement, and sent Puluhu to supervise Bu and the enemy to the northeast to take the old Liaowu ancient enemy Lie's capital to the northeast to take Hedong City, where the old Liaowu ancient enemy Lie Capital was located, and then successively forced north, recruiting Muwei and Mongolia, and the main army was stationed in Talazi City on the bank of the Yuqu River, and at the same time sent officers who were proficient in geography to explore the terrain and find a place to find a place to worship for the Zonan Zhapuli Golden Horde to be worshiped by the Mobei tribes.

When Ren Dejing's army arrived at the city of Kedun, the snow in Mobei had begun to melt, and before Ren Dejing arrived, the news of the fall of the ancient Uighur city had already arrived, and at this moment about 50,000 Han troops had gathered in this area, and Xiao Tienu climbed back from the pile of dead people. There are countless people who have returned to the Hu clan in the four directions, and Xiao Tienu ordered the troops to select soldiers from the people who returned to the army to replenish new blood.

Two groups of merchants from Gyeonggi and Northeast China had already entered the area after the arrival of Mughal and before the arrival of Ren Dejing, and started their first post-war business. When Ren Dejing passed by the Tuwula River, he was surprised to find that there was farmland and water conservancy in such a northern place. Xiao Jun is sending officials to recruit people to sow seeds for long-term stability.

Although he is a general who has made great achievements in the new construction and has been favored by Zhi Yanchong, in front of Xiao Tienu, Ren Dejing is not a big person. He honestly stationed the horses in the south of the city according to Xiao Tienu's orders, and then entered the city alone, and after entering the Shuaifu, he saw Xiao Tienu's tiger seat prostrate down from a distance and knelt forward.

Xiao Tienu looked down from the tiger seat and asked, "Are you Ren Dejing?" The tone was strange.

"Yes." Ren Dejing replied, and looked up at the tiger handsome who had admired the name for a long time but had never seen it, only to see him leaning motionless on the tiger skin chair, his face was stiff, and he looked a little half-dead, but with the eyes of that kind of life, it was terrifying, he didn't dare to look at it anymore, kowtowed and said goodbye.

After Xiao Tienu woke up this time, all parts of his body slowly recovered, but the left half of his face was partially paralyzed, his muscles were slightly atrophied, and his left eye couldn't be closed, so he looked a little weird, and his tone changed a little when he spoke. Xiao Jun stood beside him and asked in detail about the location of the Chinese army, the military situation, the military resources, and the plan of the emperor's uncle Zhi Yanchong, and Ren Dejing answered them one by one, without half a point of ingenuity, nor did he say that part of Zhi Yanchong's plan came from his suggestion.

After listening to this, Xiao Tienu said to Xiao Jun: "Your uncle's ability to lead the army to fight has not regressed at all, especially in a place like Mobei, where hundreds of thousands of Han people are mobilized between advance and retreat, and it is really rare for him to have fewer flaws. I will go east to meet him, and discuss with him about important matters, and you will guard the city of Kedun, and let the Mughul guard the ancient Uighur city, and if you can do so, you can send part of your army westward to conquer the northern and southern tribes of the Tianshan Mountains, and at the same time contact him to see if he is dead. ”

Xiao Jun asked, "How many men does my father want to take to meet the uncle?" ”

Xiao Tienu said: "With the thousands of people who crawled back from the pile of dead people, I will divide half of it with you and take half with me." You can choose another 3,000 paces for me to ride, and you can get 5,000 or 6,000 people. Everyone else stayed. He also said to Ren Dejing: "The 10,000 people you brought, I will recruit them to defend Victoria and Zhaozhou." ”

Ren Dejing replied without hindrance: "Yes! ”

Xiao Tienu smiled slightly on half of his face, although he was not malicious, but because half of his face was paralyzed, he looked very weird: "I not only recruited your soldiers and horses, but even you also recruited, and the defense of Victoria and Zhaozhou will be handed over to you." ”

Ren Dejing said in a loud voice: "The last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the commander." ”

Xiao Tienu said again: "The Damiri tribe has come to surrender, and now it is on the north bank of the Ulugu River, I have promised to let them graze here, you have to be appeased, don't make trouble for me." ”

Ren Dejing responded: "Yes!" ”

Xiao Tienu asked again: "I heard that you originally managed the army in Xiabian?" ”

Ren Dejing said: "The last general was originally an official subordinate of the old Song Dynasty and Xiabian, the great Han Longxing, and General Liu returned to the imperial court after he entered the west. ”

Xiao Tienu heaved and said, "Liu Qi? Well, I've heard about the battle you fought with the Divination Division, and it's pretty good. I heard that you are also very good at military training. After settling down here, select more men among the Hu people who can fight, and train them strictly, so that they will be useful when fighting Western Xia in the future. ”

Ren Dejing exclaimed: "Fight Western Xia? Are we going to fight Western Xia? ”

Xiao Tienu's face was faint, and there was no expression at all: "What are you surprised, as long as it is a place we know, we must fight down, Qianshun, Zhao Gou, Yelu Dashi...... In the past, we had to be obscure and strategic, but now we don't need to. Hit whoever you want, and you're not afraid that they will know in advance! ”
