Yan Rou's words revealed the crux of the matter, so that Kebi, who wanted to say yes, could close his mouth in time. Yes, the main force of the official army is only 50,000, compared with 50,000 Hun soldiers, although the number of the two sides is equal, but the combat power is not the same.

Although Kebineng has never fought with the Huns, the Hun soldiers can survive under the sandwich of the Qiang and Budugen and other Yi tribes, and the soldiers must be brave and good at fighting, which is definitely not comparable to those officers and soldiers.

The last time I fought with the official army, if it weren't for the official army with the Great Wall to defend it, Kebineng's troops would have attacked Shanggu County long ago, and there would be today's situation.

Kebineng glanced at Yan Rou appreciatively, this glance made Yan Rou feel certain, and continued: "If your envoy is sincere in uniting, he should tell the truth to show the sincerity of the leader of Qiangqu. ”

The envoy didn't expect that there were such active people in the Kebineng tribe, his eyes were uncertain, and he couldn't speak. The messenger was afraid to tell the truth, and the Kobineng department would not unite with him.

At this time, a soldier outside the camp walked in, bowed to Kebineng, and ignored the generals in the military tent, but went straight to Kebineng's side, attached his ear to Kebineng's ear, and said a few words.

Yan Rou knew that this soldier was Kebineng's henchman, and he was sent to Youzhou by Kebineng a few days ago to check the situation of the government, he was afraid that the official army would take advantage of the weakness of his tribe to do something to him.

A glance at Kebineng's face first became surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face. Not only Yan Rou, but even the generals and envoys in the camp were very curious, wondering what the soldier had reported to Kebineng.

In particular, this envoy was even more worried in his heart, the situation of his own department was not a secret incident, it must have spread all over Youzhou in the past few days, and the envoy was really afraid that the matter reported by this soldier happened to be the matter of his own tribe.

Kebi waved his hand to let the soldier go back, squinted at the envoy and said, "I already know about your affairs, is your envoy still unwilling to tell the truth?" ”

The messenger said in his heart that he was really afraid of something, and since Kebineng already knew it, there was no need for him to hide it, so he opened his heart and said: "Since the leader already knows, the humble position will not be hidden, and our department is indeed in trouble at this time." Besieged by the main force of the official army in the city of Guangning County, but the soldiers of our department have already contained the main force of the official army, if the leader can respond in the north, it is not difficult for you and me to unite and capture Youzhou. ”

The incident reported by the soldier just now was indeed related to the Qiangqu tribe, and the soldier said that the Qiangqu department was trapped in Guangning County by Zhao Yi with a strategy.

What the envoy said was right, they did contain the main force of Youzhou, and it was definitely easier to attack Youzhou at this moment than it was. Kebi Neng really coveted the fertile land in Youzhou, although he was already moved, but he didn't immediately agree, but said: "Your envoy must be tired from running around for days, please go down and rest first." ”

Kebineng did not directly agree, but gave the order to expel the guest, the envoy's face was not displeased, he knew that this matter was very important, Kebi was able to let himself out, because he wanted to discuss with his generals. He bowed down and walked out of the military tent, came to the secluded military tent, and kept walking, very worried about this mission.

Sure enough, after the envoy left, Kobi Neng excitedly asked the soldiers in the military tent what they thought about this matter.

Yan Rou had already read Kebineng's thoughts from Kebineng's excited expression, but he didn't follow Kebineng's meaning. Instead, he said bluntly: "From the humble point of view, even if we want to send troops, we can't send troops at this time. ”

"Why?" Kebi could stare at Yan Rou and ask.

Yan Rou said the situation in Youzhou at this time: "The envoy is right, the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department have indeed restrained the main force of the official army, and now is indeed the best time to attack Youzhou. However, if our troops attack Youzhou at this time and force the main force of Zhao Yiguan's army to leave the county town of Guangning and attack us directly, the Qiangqu that was out of trouble at that time will not necessarily lend a helping hand to our army. ”

Yan Rou's bland words were like cold water, extinguishing the flame that rose in Kebineng's heart, Yan Rou was right, Qiangqu was besieged by the official army and could not get out, and the alliance with Kebineng was nothing more than to get out of the siege of the official army, if the Qiangqu department was out of trouble, then the alliance relationship with Kebineng would be broken instantly. Even if Qiangqu will join forces with Kebineng to destroy the main force of the official army, the 50,000 Xiongnu army will definitely not share the county with his 10,000 Xianbei soldiers, and at that time, the 10,000 soldiers under his own department will most likely be thrown on the land of Youzhou.

As for the alliance between the two sides, it will be worthless at that time. Qiangqu will never give up his interests because of these pale and weak words.

Although the Xianbei generals in the military tent despised Yan Rou's background, they had to say that although Yan Rou's words were short, they were to the point.

"A few days ago, Tanma reported that the army of Shanggu County has not been mobilized in the slightest, and there is still the support of the Wuhuan tribe of Nanlou in the east, these two forces have become horns, and if they are properly matched, they can reach 100,000 male soldiers, and our troops have been fighting with the Suli and Budugen Xianbei tribes so far, and their vitality has been greatly damaged, and the troops and soldiers under them are less than one-third of the past, how can we fight with the Shanggu official army and the Nanlou Department with the remnants of our army?" Yan Rou asked rhetorically.

These words made Kebineng's newly raised heart sink to the ground again, and his face became extremely ugly, but he didn't say anything to reprimand Yan Rou, because Yan Rou was thinking about Kebineng's subordinates, if he wasn't loyal to his tribe, how could Yan Rou say such words.

Not to mention the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Shanggu County official army, but the 50,000 iron cavalry in the Nanlou department could not cope with it. But Kebineng didn't give up and asked Yan Rou: "If our soldiers insist on attacking Youzhou, when is the time?" ”

Yan Rou's eyes flashed and he walked back and forth in the military tent for two steps: "All border counties in Youzhou are heavily guarded, and they cannot be broken for a while, and at this time, the official army and the officers and troops of the Qiangqu Department are in a dilemma, and the time for the Qiangqu to be besieged is still short, if we can wait for a while, and wait until the soldiers and horses of the Qiangqu are almost consumed by the official army, this is the best time for us to send troops." ”

If you send troops to attack Youzhou at this moment, not to mention that Kebineng's troops can't break through the defense of the Shanggu County official army, even if they do, they can't deal with the 50,000 troops of the Qiangqu Division, and they will not be able to do it until the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department and the officers and soldiers are both defeated, and then Kebineng's 10,000 soldiers may occupy a little place in Youzhou.

Yan Rou admired Zhao Yi very much, and was able to use this clever plan to besiege 50,000 elite soldiers of the Xiongnu in the city of Guangning, as long as the official army could hold on for two or three months, even if they did not attack the soldiers of the Qiangqu Division, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Kebineng nodded and agreed with Yan Rou's opinion: "Yan Rou is right, our department can take this time to recuperate. At this moment, Kebineng has completely focused on the fat of Youzhou, and he doesn't care much about Su Li.

"Order the tribe to scout the horses, carefully probe the situation in Youzhou, and if the soldiers of Shanggu County are mobilized, report to the tribe quickly." Kobineng gave the order, and now that he had a plan in mind, he gave the order again to let the messenger in.

Kebineng said: "Your envoy should know the situation of our department, after many days of fighting, the war horses have been exhausted, if you attack Youzhou, I am afraid that you will not be able to break through the defense of the official army of Shanggu County." ”

Kebineng's words mean bargaining with Qiangqu, which means that the conditions offered by Qiangqu have not yet reached the extent that Kebi can fight to the death, and he wants Qiangqu to increase his bargaining chips.

Naturally, it is not for him to be a small envoy to call the shots, so he naturally wants to go back and tell Qiangqu that it will take ten days for his tribe to go back and forth with Guangning County. If Kebineng had negotiated with Qiangqu two or three times, the time of a month would have passed. This not only delays time, but also gets more benefits, which is simply killing two birds with one stone. Kobi was very satisfied with his approach.

However, the envoy did not hear the meaning of Kebineng's words, and only thought that Kebineng was afraid that his troops would not be enough to break through Shanggu County. He said bluntly: "Don't worry, chief, my leader is very careful, in addition to sending a lowly official to your department, he also sent an envoy to the headquarters of the leader of Suri, and the leader and the leader of Suri are in one place, and it should not be difficult to capture Shanggu County." ”

Kebineng raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this Qiangqu was so scheming, in addition to inviting himself, he even pulled Su Li in.

Seeing Kebineng's gradually gloomy face, the envoy did not panic, and said with an unchanged face: "The chief's understanding of the matter between your department and the Suli leader's department is very clear, if the two leaders continue to attack and kill, it will benefit the Youzhou officials and soldiers. At this time, the forces of Youzhou are controlled by our department, and the two leaders should abandon their previous suspicions and plan for a great cause. ”

This envoy is right, although Kebineng and Suli's troops attacked and killed fiercely, but after all, they are all Xianbei people, and Kebineng alone cannot break the resistance of the officials and soldiers of Shanggu County, and besides, Youzhou is fast and fat, and Kebineng alone cannot control it alone with the strength in his hands now.

It is indeed a good idea to unite with the Suli Institute. Attacking Youzhou, even if the Qiangqu Department gets out of trouble, it will not be the enemy of its own two departments.

Kebineng fought for a while in his heart, and he had already agreed to the envoy's proposal in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "The strength of the Qiangqu leader's department is strong, if my two soldiers help the leader get out of trouble, if the Qiangqu leader turns around and deals with us, how will Su Li and I deal with it?" ”

When the messenger saw that Kebi could have the meaning of unity, he would say anything good to the outside, saying that he would not break his oath.

However, Kebineng didn't believe much in the words of this envoy, and only said one sentence, and he would only agree to send troops if he had the personal promise of the leader of Qiangqu.

The envoy said a lot of kind things, but Kebi was able to keep this request, which made the envoy very distressed, and it took him at least ten days to go back and forth, and his people did not know what would happen at that time. But he had no choice but to do what he was able to do.

Seeing the messenger straddle the horse and leave quickly, Kebineng's face showed joy, and secretly said that the delay was successful, and at the same time said in Yan Rou's ear: "Yan Rou, please go to the Suli tribe for a trip." ”
