Xu Jince was already ready to sacrifice, but the offensive of the Northern Yan people was obviously weakened. Especially in the last two meetings with Pingcheng, they have been a little lacking in stamina.

"Do you think they're running out of food and grass?" Xu Jince asked Nalan Jinxiu while standing in front of the map.

Nalan Jinxiu was still simulating the confrontation between the two armies on the sand table, and he didn't raise his eyes when he heard his words, but said lightly: "Almost!"

Xu Jince stared at her for a while and asked, "What did you do when you let Mu leave a few days ago?"

"It's nothing, it's just sprinkled some medicine into the grain and grass of the Northern Yan people. ”

Xu Jince looked at her in shock: "What do you think of the big camp of Beiyan?"

"It's hard to break into, but it's nothing to Mu Li. It's just that this method can only be used once, and the Beiyan people have suffered a loss, and they will definitely hide the grain and grass tightly in the future. Nalan Jinxiu put the flag on the sand table and planted it in the position of the Beiyan camp.

Xu Jince was very curious about her medicine. But looking at her appearance, I feel that this medicine is probably not glorious. Otherwise, with her temperament, she will definitely take it out to show him.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't say much, but his eyes were dark: "If it weren't for the fear that there would be a plague if there were too many dead people all of a sudden, I would give them some medicine to seal their throats with blood." ”

Xu Jince knew that there was nothing to shy away from fighting between the two armies, and all the two sides could think of was victory, peace and death against each other. Her intentions are correct, but from an outsider's point of view, this method is a little too vicious.

But he was in favor of it. Because his father died, the Northern Yan people were menacing, but wherever they occupied, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil.

For those who are born vicious and unchangeable, he can't redeem them, he can only choose to end them. He was not like his father in this way.

Thinking of King Zhenbei and thinking that his bones were still in Pengcheng, his heart was also very uncomfortable. As the Son of Man, it is not a sorrow that he cannot collect the bones for him.

For as long as he can remember, everyone around him has said that he is the future lord of the northern frontier, and they have also warned him to put the lives of the people first. He himself has always thought so.

He adores his father and hopes to be like him in the future. But now, he felt that something was wrong. If his father had agreed to expand the size of the Storm when he founded Shocking Clouds, he was afraid that they would have a huge killer battalion by now.

What is the painted skin of Nanchu, and what are the corrupt officials in Daning who only know how to be greedy for fame and fortune? But anyone who threatens the northern frontier, he can make him disappear from this world. That's power.

But now it's too late to say anything, I thought that I couldn't have a heart of disobedience, thinking that as long as I control myself and remain strong, Daning and Northern Xinjiang will always be a family.

The truth is so ironic that he has no hope for others. He has the strongest Xuanjia army in the whole world, and even if they come to crusade from all over the world, he is not afraid. No matter what, he will fight until the last moment for the northern frontier and his homeland.

"Although Nanchu has a small land area, they have been in obscurity for so many years, and they are afraid that their strength is no longer under Daning. If they fully support it, Northern Xinjiang will not be able to say it for long. ”

Xu Jince lost his hands behind his back, and in the past half a month, his biggest gain is to trust and rely on his sister.

used to think that she was young after all, and she was a daughter raised by Jin Zunyu. But judging from her performance in the past half month, she is indeed very talented in arranging troops, and her father was not wrong at the time.

"I don't think it's likely. Although Southern Chu is now united in their hearts, if they devote all their energy to the war in northern Xinjiang, it is inevitable that their country will become empty. When the time comes, if Daning takes the opportunity to crusade against them, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on. ”

Xu Jince also agrees with this point of view, after all, it is interests that drive the alliance between Southern Chu and Northern Yan. But if what you receive is not proportional to what you give, then the shrewd Nanchu people will definitely not take the risk.

It stands to reason that Northern Yan is the same, pouring the strength of the whole country into crusading against Northern Xinjiang, and if it fails, it will lose everything. Now they are doing this, it is nothing more than the meaning of that monster of Tuoba Tao.

Xu Jince also knew that Tuoba Tao hated him, and he didn't take this person to heart before. He always felt that such a narrow-minded person would inevitably not be able to achieve great things. If he had known that one day, he would be able to force Northern Xinjiang into such a situation, then he would definitely do anything to kill him.

"Did my brother think of Tuoba Tao?"

"Hmm. Xu Jince was not surprised at all that Nalan Jinxiu guessed.

"Since he knows that you are here, he will definitely capture Pingcheng. The longer we hold out, the greater the consumption of the Northern Yan people, and the defenders in other places will be easier. ”

Xu Jince was silent, he has been stricter than before recently. Only in front of Nalan Jinxiu can he say a few more words, and at other times he is basically embarrassed.

"You said that such a leader in Beiyan stall, isn't it quite bitter?" Nalan Jinxiu said with a smile, she felt that she just had to laugh more, and only in this way could she drive Xu Jince to laugh more.

It is said that in the past two years, because of the frequent wars waged by Beiyan, the people have been unable to make a living. ”

"All the people are the foundation of the regime, and the people have been dissatisfied for a long time, and the Beiyan regime is afraid that it will fall apart sooner or later. ”

"I think so too. ”

Nalan Jinxiu seems to be particularly interested in this topic, or maybe Tuoba Tao as a person. She knew that her brother and he could not coexist, and Tuoba Tao would not die, which would be difficult to comfort the heart of the Xuanjia Army.

"Brother, why is Tuoba Tao so extreme, and what is he good at?"

Xu Jince didn't know much about him, and he knew it all from Lige's mouth. He shook his head when he heard this: "Tuoba Tao's origin is a mystery, Beiyan seems to be very taboo about his identity, but looking at his character like this, he must have gotten up from the mud." ”

"Since he can't tolerate his defeat, he will definitely choose to fight back, and I think he will come to Heijo himself. ”

Xu Jince agreed with her, and looked at her expression, knowing that this time they thought of each other again.

Tuoba Tao has now been carried away by victory, and Pingcheng will not be able to attack for a long time, and he will definitely attack in a big way. Moreover, he must also want to show off his victory in front of Xu Jince in person. As long as he seizes the opportunity this time, he is likely to be strangled here.

As soon as Tuoba Tao died, Beiyan would not necessarily continue the war. Since he is the source of the war, he must die, this is Yu Gong. Speaking privately, he killed the king of Zhenbei and made the northern frontier devastated, and he must die.

Nalan Jinxiu and Xu Jince began to re-study the map, predicting every possible scenario. In the end, Xu Jince thought that Tuoba Tao would definitely bring a lot of people to the city, because this was in line with his character of wanting to show off his victory.

"Then we will disperse the forces and give him an empty city plan, so that he will not return. ”

Xu Jince looked at the location of the troops she was marking on the map, and said with a smile: "Are you planning to hide your strength, lure the enemy deeper, and then make dumplings for him later?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's just that we're not sure how many people Tuoba Tao will bring with us, so we're afraid that we won't be able to cope with it then. ”

Xu Jince's eyes were deep, and he said coldly: "The northern frontier is so big, he just sent people to guard the places he captured, and he also spent a lot of troops. Presumably, he doesn't have many troops available now, and the only thing that worries me is Nan Chu. ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought of her identity, and she hesitated again and again before saying, "If my brother takes care of Nanchu's side, why don't you let me try peace talks." ”

"The reason why my father has been hiding your identity is that he is afraid that you will not be able to come back if you go to Nanchu, so don't even think about it. ”

Nalan Jinxiu doesn't know what kind of person Princess Qinghe of Southern Chu is, but since she can control the painted skin and become a pivotal person in the Southern Chu court, she must be ruthless.

A successful strategist will inevitably put the love of his children last. Princess Qinghe may not care about her, if the two of them are of one heart and one mind, otherwise, she is likely to kill her relatives in righteousness.

"I have transferred all the soldiers from the two nearby cities, as well as the remaining Xuanjia army. "Xu Jince is ready to fight against the water.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that this idea was too risky. If their intentions were discovered by Tuoba Tao, it was very likely that they would occupy the two empty cities first, which would be a lot more convenient in terms of terrain.

"Don't worry, with what I know about him, he will definitely come to Pingcheng. ”

Nalan Jinxiu nodded, she was really thinking too much. Tuoba Tao has such a strong utilitarian heart, and he wants to defeat the Xuanjia Army so much, he will definitely capture his brother alive at all costs, and he will not consider those strategic issues.

The fact is indeed as they expected, Tuoba Tao with a mighty army of 50,000 marched towards Pingcheng. Xu Jince also dispersed his forces according to the expected place, forming a huge encirclement.

Tuoba Tao was almost unhindered along the way, and approached Pingcheng. On the day when the soldiers came to the city, he sat and walked and let the people around him keep shouting provocative words.

There are now only three thousand elites left in Pingcheng, and Nalan Jinxiu and Mu Li are also in the city. After all, he is the leader of the Xuanjia Army, even if there are so many enemies outside the city gate, he still does not have a look of fear.

"They call back to them, they attack and defend, delay as much time as possible, and wait for the young marshal to come back. These are the words that An Shi commanded the people. He had just arrived a few days ago, and now he could not tell that he had been seriously injured.

After sending away the people who had come in to pass the message, he entered the house again to see what Nalan Jinxiu was still tinkering with on the table. He is obedient to the county lord's bearing, three thousand against thirty thousand, she can really stabilize.

"Mr. White......

Nalan Jinxiu raised his hand and motioned for him not to speak. She is working on a medicinal powder that, as long as it is sprinkled into the air, the person who smells it will lose all five senses for a while. It's just that this thing is a very patient test, and the dosage requirements for the powder are very precise, and she has failed many times.
