In the battle with Wen Shilan's Desert, Helan Yannian personally went into battle and was wounded, and his left arm was hit by the warriors of the Rouran people with an iron mallet, but because of the protection of the armor, the injury was not serious and there was no fracture.

From joining the army in his teens until now, Helan Yannian's military career has been nearly 30 years, and in the past 30 years, he has suffered many injuries, the most serious one was almost 20 years ago.

In that year, the white Xianbei, who had just surrendered to the Tuoba Tribe, united with some tribes conquered by the Tuoba Department such as some Ele in the northern part of the Daibei, as well as the Rouran people, and set off a rebellion.

The Baibu is second only to Murong, Duan, Tuoba and other Xianbei tribes, there are many people in the department, plus the joint troops such as Eile and Rouran, it is even stronger, and at that time, Tuoba Beijin had just succeeded the Tuoba Department for a few years, and the prestige was insufficient, so it was not long after the war began, it fell into a stalemate, and the fight was very difficult.

The most terrible thing is that at this time, there was another political turmoil within the Tuoba Department.

From the tribes attached to the Tuoba Department, there is a large tribe from the Xiongnu, called "Dugu", which is the wife of the former Tuoba Darate, that is, the wife of Tuoba Beijin's brother. In the Tuoba Department, because it is still in the process of changing from matrilineal to patrilineal, the maternal and wife clans of Darui, with the power of their mother's family, have always had great participation in politics and political power, and also have a great say in the selection and establishment of the heir of Daba. Tuoba Beijin's brother's wife Zhao ,—— lonely department and Tiefu Xiongnu and other tribes that claim to originate from the Xiongnu, are all after the decline of the Xiongnu, reorganized into a new tribe, because it is also the same as the Tiefu Xiongnu, although the tribe is called "Dugu", their chieftain is not to Dugu as the surname, but to Zhao as the surname, that Zhao has a son, she is unwilling to pass the position of the big rate to Tuoba Beijin, but her son is young, Hu vulgar has always been "strong but not young", so a few years ago when Tuoba Beijin succeeded to the throne, she forbearance did not speak, And now that her son has grown up, fourteen or fifteen years old, it was at this time that she had the heart to seize the throne for her son, and joined forces with the chiefs of the lonely department to cause a "palace coup".

But thanks to another tradition of the Tuoba Department, the mother has always supported the succession of her sons,—— after all, no matter which son succeeds to the throne, it is her son, in other words, she can control the power of the tribe as a mother, yes, Tuoba Beijin's mother, from the Wang clan of Wuhuan, united the strength of her own clan, plus the resolute support of Tuoba Beijin's younger brother Tuoba Be, and the Helan Department of Tuoba Beijin's wife clan at a critical moment, chose to stand Tuoba Beijin's statement, and finally calmed down this civil strife.

- Although the civil strife was pacified, the chieftain of the lonely tribe claimed to be a descendant of the clan of the Qin Dynasty, with noble blood, and his family had a great influence among the Hu tribe, and his department was very strong in combat, in order to appease them, but also to avoid division, Tuoba Beijin showed his political skill, on the one hand, he mercilessly killed his sister-in-law Zhao, the son of Zhao was his brother's only son, because of the intercession of his younger brother Tuoba Be, but he was not killed, but he was also exiled, and on the other hand, he was not to blame for the past, regardless of the previous suspicion of "making trouble", He married his sister to Zhao Luochui, the son of the lonely chieftain at that time, and reused it to his father and son. At that time, the Dugu chieftain was dead, and his son Zhao Luochui has now succeeded to the position of the Dugu chieftain, Tuoba Beijin and after the death of his younger brother Tuoba Be, he was named the southern adult, took over the power of Tuoba Be, and led the Wuhuan tribes in the north and south. This is a later story, so there is no need to say more.

Through Tuoba Beijin's wrist, the internal division was avoided, and the strength of the Northern Tribes Alliance led by Tuoba was preserved, but after the accident, the people's hearts could not be cleaned up quickly, so in the battle to continue to conquer Baibu Xianbei, Tuoba Beijin suffered a series of defeats. Tuoba had no choice but to ask Murong Xianbei for help. Murong Xianbei sent 10,000 horsemen to support. After receiving reinforcements, Tuoba regained his strength, and fought a decisive battle with Baibe Xianbei, hoping to win the battle.

As a result, he did not expect that during the battle, Murong Xianbei's troops did not obey the command of Tuoba Beijin, not only did they not succeed in defeating Baibu Xianbei, but also in the middle of the battle, Tuoba Beijin's Chinese army was almost captured by Baibu Xianbei.

At this juncture, Helan Yannian stood out.

He led more than 100 elite cavalry, galloped into battle, and in the more than 10,000 Baibu Xianbei cavalry who stormed Tuoba Beijin's Chinese army, three in and three out, invincible, cut its small rate, dozens of tiger soldiers, and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Baibu Xianbei, greatly invigorated the military morale of Tuoba soldiers, and then reversed the decline in one fell swoop, helping Tuoba Beijin to win this fierce battle.

It was also after this fierce battle that Helan Yannian entered the sight of Tuoba Beijin, and was taken by Tuoba Beijin as a confidant, and in the subsequent battles, Helan Yannian not only upheld his bravery, but also showed his outstanding military talent, so that his position in the Tuoba Department became more and more valuable, so that today, he is the first general in Daibei. - Wen Shilan was defeated by him, it can be said that he is now not only the first general in Daibei, but even the first general outside the Saiwai.

This battle, which represented a turning point in Helan Yannian's life, certainly brought him a reputation in the future, but he also suffered serious injuries in the battle of the enemy. After the war, he fainted several times, vomited blood, and almost died, and then Tuoba Beijin personally sacrificed to the gods, volunteered to lose his life, begged for his life, and asked for a famous doctor from Murong Xianbei before he was saved.

Compared to the serious injury that time, this small injury at the moment is really not worth mentioning.

Compared with the previous battles in previous years, especially the life-and-death battle twenty years ago, the current battle of Shuofang County is not worth mentioning in Helan Yannian's view.

It's just that the relationship between this battle is relatively important, and it is related to the development of Daibei in the future, so Helan Yannian will personally lead the ride.

Yang Hezhi and Zhang Gui guessed well, Helan Yannian, who had not shown up, did quietly lead his troops and went to seize Shuofang County.

This is not Helan Yannian's unauthorized assertion, it is a secret order given to him by Tuoba Beijin before he went out of the north and came to Shuofang.

Riding on a horse, feeling the coolness of the summer night breeze, and the pigtails waving in the wind, Helan Yannian, who was in his forties, looked serious, holding the reins, and recalled the tone of Tuoba Beijin's tone when he gave him the order and the explanation of why he gave the order.
