The Zhuojun army marched north in the sunshine, the big banner was waving in the wind, and the footsteps like thunder came out far away, and the birds five miles away could feel the solemn aura on the soldiers, and they had already flown away in advance before Zhao Yi's troops approached.

Commander Yang Xiu led the way in front, commanding tens of thousands of people to fight for the first time, Yang Xiu's face was full of excitement, and he made a big fuss with a little trouble.

Wen Qin looked very ridiculous, nearly 20,000 soldiers were walking on the official road, even the well-trained Wuhuan cavalry did not dare to do anything to the officers and soldiers of the brigade, let alone these rogues. I'm afraid I won't be able to shrink back when I get the news.

Zhao Yi asked Gao Ming about the situation of some Kebineng Xianbei tribes, as well as the strength of the troops this time. The soldiers of Upper Valley had been defending the border for ten days, and they suffered heavy casualties because of the strong archery and horseback of the opponent.

Because of Zhao Yi's previous words, the morale of the soldiers was still high. Walking hundreds of miles, he still has an excited smile on his face. "With soldiers with such high morale, the Xianbei cavalry is not a cause for concern." Wen Qin was very satisfied with the soldiers of Zhao Yi's department, especially the six thousand cavalry, at this time, the cavalry skills of the official army were not much worse than the combat strength of the Wuhuan soldiers under his own department.

In addition to being satisfied, Wen Qin was also very worried. These soldiers can compete with the Xianbei cavalry, and they are naturally no problem against their own Wuhuan cavalry. The border passes were turbulent, and Nanlou had already taken advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to enter the interior. However, if there is Zhao Yi's department in Youzhou, then his plan to enter the inland will not only be difficult to realize, but I am afraid that it will also shake the foundation of the tribe.

Thinking of this, Wen Qin looked at Zhao Yi. The heart said that if a general like Zhao Yi could not be used by the court, it would be a blessing for his tribe. It's not that she hasn't had the intention of assassination, even if she dies together, she will kill Zhao Yi to clear a big obstacle for her father's entry into the inland in the future. But Zhao Yi's guards are extremely strict, and the surrounding guards are loyal to Zhao Yi, and Dian Wei never leaves, and she has never gotten off the phone. And how could she kill Zhao Yi unarmed.

Many thoughts turned into a long sigh, and he raised his eyes to look at the boundless wilderness in front of him, and the village houses in the distance looked like small dirt bags, and the smoke filled everywhere.

"You're carrying too much stuff." Zhao Yi didn't know when he came to Wen Qin's side and said with a smile.

Wen Qin, who has been in the tribe where men gather for more than ten years, has seen too many people's eyes, but Zhao Yi's gaze seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts and see what he hides in his heart. Wen Qin dodged Zhao Yi's gaze, snorted and drove forward, "Don't think you know others very well!" ”

is such a fierce woman, but Zhao Yi knows that this is for himself. Zhao Yi didn't ask Wen Qin how much he was thinking, even if he knew, what could he do? Some things always have to be solved by herself, and others can't help her at all.

If Liu Yan is friendly with him, open up trade between the two sides, and appease these Wuhuan soldiers, there may be very few Wuhuan people entering the country, and the Wuhuan tribe will even become a line of defense against the Xianbei cavalry.

At this time, although Wuhuan did not blatantly launch a banner to invade the interior, there were often incidents of Wuhuan cavalry like Wen Qin entering and looting, and the relationship between the two sides was almost like fire and water. Zhao Yi somewhat understood Liu Yan's thoughts, he was stubbornly abiding by the rules, thinking that if he was not of my race, his heart would be different. In addition, at this time, smoke was everywhere, and Liu Yan was even more protective of the Wuhuan tribe, for fear that they would enter the inland to cause chaos. also wants to borrow the hands of the Xianbei cavalry to kill these Wuhuan tribes.

Zhao Yi and Liu Yan's views are somewhat different. Why do you always do that kind of stupid thing to make enemies first and then kill them? It is also possible to turn enemies into friends and enemies into relatives. After all, blood is thicker than water, and love is greater than hate. This is the way of kings, so that they can educate all people.

Zhao Yi already had an idea in his heart, but he couldn't put it into action until he defeated the Xianbei cavalry.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not affect Shanggu County, because of the perennial battles with the Xianbei cavalry and the Wuhuan tribe, the territory was turbulent, and nearly half of the people fled to the interior, sometimes without seeing a village within a radius of dozens of miles. Wen Qin felt a little pity, "Wouldn't it be a pity to let such fertile soil be barren." ”

"That's why you're invading the interior?" Zhao Yi asked, and without waiting for Wen Qin to answer, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed not easy to survive in the gap between two powerful forces. "Compared with the Xianbei tribe, the Eastern Han Dynasty seems to be a lot more brittle, and many foreigners want to come in and get a piece of the pie, and Zhao Yi can also understand it.

"We don't want to go to war unless we have to." Wen Qin smiled bitterly, these Wuhuan soldiers also have relatives in their families, and naturally they don't want their relatives to die on the battlefield. However, if they did not plunder their property, their tribe would not be able to sustain their livelihoods, and they could only feed themselves by war.

Along the way, Zhao Yi asked a lot about the Xianbei tribe, and time passed very quickly. Five days passed, and Zhao Yi's subordinates, under the leadership of Gao Ming, finally arrived at the camp of Shanggu County at the border pass.

These days, the Xianbei cavalry attacked fiercely, and the officers and soldiers who held the Great Wall suffered heavy casualties, most of them were wounded by arrows. The arrival of Zhao Yi's troops added some hope to these soldiers.

The county guard and Gao Zhi were still commanding the battle on the front line, Zhao Yi did not go over to disturb but set up camp next to the camp in Shanggu County, although he had not explored the battlefield situation at this time, but Zhao Yi could guess one or two, and he was very dissatisfied with the battle of the officers and troops at this time. Although the number of Xianbei tribes in Kebineng was more than 100,000, the soldiers were only 30,000, blindly sticking to the Great Wall, and did not want to go out of the city to meet the enemy, this kind of battle will never end.

The night gradually deepened, and Gao Zhi, who was covered in blood, walked into the Zhuojun camp, came to the military tent, and bowed to Zhao Yi, "The county guard can come to the rescue, and the last general will be grateful." ”

"General, don't be polite, you and I are dependent on each other, you are in trouble, how can I not come to the rescue." Zhao Yi personally helped Gao Zhi up and asked about the arrangement of the Xianbei cavalry and the combat strength of the other party.

Gao Zhi described the current situation in detail, and marked on the map the deployment of the Xianbei Division, which was a group of lightly armed cavalry, extremely fast, and brave and good at fighting, "If our soldiers were not defended by the Great Wall, the Kebineng Division would have already driven straight into the interior. Does the general have a good strategy against the enemy? ”

"Our army has just arrived today, and I expect that the Kebineng tribe has not received news yet, and I want to lead my troops to attack the Xianbei tribe camp tonight." Zhao Yi said what he thought.

"Your Excellency has traveled a long way, and the soldiers' physical strength has been depleted, can you be sure of attacking the camp tonight?" Gao Zhi didn't expect Zhao Yi to be so bold.

Zhao Yi didn't care, "General, don't worry, if I'm not sure, how dare I say it." If this battle is won, I don't think in the last year or two, the Kobi Nengbu will not be able to invade the interior. "Zhao Yi's soldiers are tired, but the Xianbei tribe who have been besieging the city for a day is even more tired. Zhao Yi just wanted to take advantage of the lack of people in Xianbei to kill them by surprise.

Gao Zhi is just a captain, how can he manage Zhao Yi, the county guard, seeing that Zhao Yi has made up his mind, he has to agree. Zhao Yi called Gao Shun and Tai Shici into the military tent to explain his decision.

Tai Shici thought that Zhao Yi's move was too risky, and if he was not careful, he would lose a lot. Gao Shun's point of view is the same as Zhao Yi's, thinking that this is indeed an opportunity to "surprise, it is indeed a good way, if the hungry wolf of the Xianbei tribe is rested well tonight, it will be difficult to deal with tomorrow." ”

"Soldiers, treacherous." Zhao Yi's eyes were full of confident smiles, "Order the soldiers to go down and prepare." ”

Tai Shi Ci and Gao Shun bowed down and ordered their soldiers to rest quickly and prepare for battle. Zhao Yi carefully studied the map and took all the factors into account.

At midnight, the assembly horn sounded in the Zhuojun camp, and the well-trained soldiers were neatly dressed and quickly ran out of the camp tent, staring at Zhao Yi on the platform with burning eyes.

Zhao Yi glanced at his soldiers, "Put out the torch and set off with me." "The soldiers patrolling the Great Wall got Gao Zhi's order early to let Zhao Yi and others out of the customs. More than 10,000 soldiers quickly disappeared into the night under the cover of darkness.

At this time in the Xianbei camp, the tribal leader Kebineng was discussing tomorrow's attack plan with his subordinates. "News came from the inner line in the evening that Zhao Yi of Zhuojun led 16,000 soldiers to this place." Kebi was able to explain the situation, and his eyes ran over the faces of several of the surrounding generals.

For Zhao Yi, Ke Bineng dare not underestimate him. The first time I heard that it was he who annihilated the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou, and the ensuing battles of Guangzong and Quyang made Zhao Yi's name go far into Mobei. Recently, he annihilated 6,000 cavalry in the Nanlou Division, which surprised Kebi Neng greatly. If Zhao Yi had some ability to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, which seemed to be a rabble, defeating the cavalry of the Nanlou Division allowed Kebi to elevate Zhao Yi to the status of an equal opponent.

Kebineng originally wanted to attack the Great Wall and occupy a piece of land in the interior as a base area, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of Shanggu County would resist to the death.

"There are too few soldiers in our army, and the long-term attack has caused heavy losses to our soldiers, and at this time, the official reinforcements have arrived, and the Great Wall is difficult to capture, so we should withdraw for the time being. After annexing some small tribes and increasing their strength, they will fight with the official army. A general said that although his soldiers were brave and good at fighting, after all, their numbers were limited, far less dense than Youzhou, and they could mobilize troops from various counties, but the Xianbei troops could not withstand this long-term attrition.

In this continuous attack of more than 20 days, not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but also because they could not be attacked for a long time, the soldiers' morale was greatly reduced, and if they continued in such a stalemate, their own tribe would definitely be dragged down.

The meaning of the rest of the people is the same as the meaning of this general, first will enrich their wings before they can soar above the nine heavens. "In that case, we will withdraw our troops and order the soldiers to withdraw from the camp, but the torches in the camp cannot be extinguished." ”

The strong wall is clear and there is not even a single tree outside the Great Wall for more than ten miles, Zhao Yi was very careful when he led his troops to walk, but fortunately, the moonlight was unknown tonight. Leaving the city and traveling five miles, Zhao Yi saw the light of the Xianbei camp from a distance. "Except for the sabre, the rest was thrown at me!" Zhao Yi whispered.
