After walking for nearly ten miles, Zhao Yi and the others were less than three miles away from the Xianbei Division, and beckoned all the soldiers under him to lie down, and Zhao Yi could see the situation in the barracks clearly by the torches in the camp that were blown from side to side. Music + Literature +

The situation in the Xianbei camp is a little strange, it is nearly five watches at this time, and the soldiers who were supposed to rest in the camp tent are now in and out of the barracks, still holding weapons in their hands.

Gao Shun observed for a while, "My lord, it seems that these Xianbei cavalry want to run!" ”

Want to run? Zhao Yi's eyes turned twice, his advantage was unexpected, and now the situation has exceeded Zhao Yi's expectations. These Xianbei cavalry have already made preparations, and at this time, Zhao Yi's troops will not be able to take any advantage. According to the combat habits of the Xianbei cavalry, even if they have the heart to retreat, they will defeat their own enemy first.

"My lord, will you attack?" Tai Shici's bow and arrows had already been raised, and when Zhao Yi gave an order, he led his cavalry to rush down.

Zhao Yi secretly said that people are not as good as heaven, the fighter has been lost, and if he makes a move at this time, he will be at a disadvantage if he confronts the 30,000 cavalry of the Xianbei Division. "The fighters have been lost, and the army is slowly retreating."

The Xianbei cavalry moved quickly, and within two miles of Zhao Yi's withdrawal, the Xianbei camp was already empty, and only the torches in that place remained.

The one who most hoped that the Xianbei cavalry would evacuate was naturally Gao Zhi and others, Zhao Yi returned in vain without the slightest displeasure on his face, still with a smile, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that Zhao Yi did not fail.

"If it weren't for the arrival of the army led by the county guard, the Xianbei Department would not have retreated, and the last general would once again thank the Lord for his help." Gao Zhi was very good at talking, and said that the planned retreat of Xianbei's department was scared away by Zhao Yi's department. can be regarded as taking care of Zhao Yi's face.

Zhao Yi didn't take this to heart, glanced at Gao Zhi, and discussed a matter with the Shanggu County Guard. The county guard raised his eyebrows and groaned for a while before finally agreeing.

Zhao Yi showed a smile on his face: "Since that's the case, thank you, sir." ”

"Lord Zhao is kind to me in Shanggu County, how can I worry about trivial things." The county guard and Zhao Yi said a few polite words, and then said that his department and Xianbei's department fought for many days and suffered heavy casualties. Afraid that there would be any changes in the surrounding Xianbei Division, he asked Zhao Yi to leave an army to help them defend the border.

After this battle, less than half of the 30,000 soldiers in Shanggu County remained, and if the Xianbei troops violated the border again, how could the Shanggu defenders be their opponents.

Seeing the hesitation on Zhao Yi's face, Lord County Shou was ruthless, and said in Zhao Yi's ear, "My lord, if you agree to my conditions, I will lend you all the land that is a hundred miles south of Zhuolu." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." What Zhao Yi and Shanggu County kept secret to talk about was the matter of this land, Shanggu County was vast and sparsely populated, resulting in a large area of land becoming wasteland. Zhao Yi happened to take this opportunity to borrow land.

The economy in Shanggu County was sluggish, and most of the people moved to the interior because of the unstable border barriers. And there are only Zhao Yi's Zhuojun soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and there is no way to exchange land for soldiers.

Zhao Yi knew that the Shanggu County Shou would agree, and the two of them would take what they needed, so why not do it. Zhao Yi left Tai Shi Ci with 10,000 soldiers in Shanggu County, instructed Tai Shi Ci a few words, and then came to Wen Qin's tent.

"I heard that the adults returned in vain, why didn't I see the slightest displeasure on the faces of the adults?" Although Wen Qin's words were full of concern, his tone was full of mockery, and he secretly said Zhao Yi, you also have today.

Zhao Yi could naturally hear the ridicule in Wen Qin's words, but Zhao Yi didn't care, still with a flat expression, and did not continue the topic of Wen Qin, but asked, "I want to go to your tribe, I wonder if General Wen Qin can introduce me?" ”

Hearing this, the smiling expression on Wen Qin's face immediately became solemn, and he looked Zhao Yi up and down for a while, "What are you doing here?" ”

"First, let's send the general back, and second, let's discuss some things with the leader of the difficult building." Zhao Yi did not hide his thoughts. The situation in Youzhou is complicated, and if these Yi tribes are not settled, they will be restrained everywhere. And Zhao Yi knew that chaos would soon occur in Youzhou, and the mastermind behind it was Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi. Shanggu County is too close to him, and Zhao Yi naturally wants to try his best to appease the uncertain force of Nanlou, so as not to unite with the Wuhuan leader of Liaoxi, then there will be no peace in Youzhou.

Wen Qin hesitated for a moment, and then agreed very happily, "Okay, I can help you." ”

Zhao Yi walked out of the Wen Qin camp tent and called Gao Shun and Dian Wei to his side to arrange the next thing: "General Gao led the cavalry back to Zhuo County, and General Dian Wei took five hundred guards to go to the Wuhuan tribe with me. ”

"Wuhuan tribe?" Gao Shun and Dian Wei were stunned for a moment, "My lord, my department and the Wuhuan tribe have become mortal enemies, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger if you go in person?" "Enter the nest of the Wuhuan tribe, let alone bring 500 soldiers, even if you bring 20,000 soldiers, the whole army will be wiped out.

Zhao Yi has already killed more than 6,000 people in the Wuhuan tribe, how could Nanlou let Zhao Yi go, the first thing he did when he entered the tribe might be to kill Zhao Yi to take revenge.

Zhao Yi didn't care, "There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." The two generals can rest assured that if there is no means to save my life, I will not take risks easily. ”

Gao Shun and Dian Wei have followed Zhao Yi for many days, and naturally know Zhao Yi's temper very well. "If the general insists on going, then ask the general to bring more men and horses, and if there is an accident, he can also respond." Gao Shun couldn't persuade Zhao Yi, so he could only let Zhao Yi bring more people.

"That place is the Wuhuan tribe, there are 10,000 people, even if you bring all the soldiers and horses of Zhuo County, it is not an opponent. This time, we went only for peace talks, and 500 soldiers were enough. Zhao Yi was telling the truth.

Since Zhao Yi had already made a decision, Gao Shun and Dian Wei had no objections, and bowed down to answer the order. Shanggu County has nothing to do, Zhao Yi and Gao Shun did not stay here for a long time, Gao Shun embarked on the way home, and when he left, Zhao Yi explained two sentences, asking Gao Shun to be careful of Qin Chong, and emphasized that Gao Shun must grasp the military power in his hands no matter what happens.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and as long as it captures the army, it will take the initiative. As for Yang Xiumo, he went back with Gao Shun, and Zhao Yi wanted to take advantage of the fight with Xianbei and take the opportunity to get rid of Yang Xiu. But I didn't expect Kebi to run so fast, it's really cheap Yang Xiu.

Zhao Yi didn't tell Yang Xiu the truth, but just said that he would deal with some things in Shanggu County and let Yang Xiu take Gao Shun and the others back first. Without the approval of the imperial court, Zhao Yi met with the leader of Wuhuan privately, if he let someone know and put Zhao Yi with the hat of an anti-thief, Zhao Yi would be considered the head of the county guard.

The Xianbei cavalry retreated, but there were still many remaining problems that had not been solved, and the Shanggu County Guard personally sent Zhao Yi out of the camp and immediately returned to the camp to deal with things. With this kind of county guard stationed in the northern frontier, Zhao Yi can also feel at ease.

Zhao Yi and his five hundred guards walked on this wild in civilian clothes, and the autumn wind blew the flowers and plants, making the earth covered with a layer of withered yellow. Looking into the distance, there is no figure within a radius of dozens of miles, all of them are dry and yellow, this empty scenery reminds Zhao Yi of a poem "The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river." ”

Wen Qin's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he heard these two sentences, as if he knew Zhao Yi again, "You made such wonderful sentences?" ”

Zhao Yi's face was not red, he was not panting, and he smiled, "But I occasionally have feelings." ”

Although Wen Qin did not become a lady according to his father's wishes, he still knew a little about the Four Books and Five Classics. Zhao Yi has such a literary brilliance, these short ten words can tell the scenery outside the Seychelles so profoundly, and the picture is open, the artistic conception is majestic, it is simply a good sentence recited through the ages.

Zhao Yi's resourcefulness has deeply impressed Wen Qin, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi's literary talent to be so outstanding. This made Wen Qin's gaze at Zhao Yi a little more strange.

Zhao Yi and the others walked for about fifty miles, and Wen Qin's eyes were sharp, "Look, there is a tent over there." "Those tents are five miles away, and if you don't look closely, you think they're dirt bags.

Zhao Yi and the others were shocked, and drove their horses to march quickly, getting closer to the tent. The more Zhao Yi and the others felt strange, they did not hide their tracks, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves should have already awakened the herdsmen in the bag, but at this moment, Zhao Yi and the others were less than a mile away from these tents, and still no one walked out.

Zhao Yi waved his hand to stop everyone, and glanced at the tents, except for the sound of the curtain blowing in the breeze, there was no other sound, which seemed a little lifeless.

Zhao Yi and Wen Qin glanced at each other, they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and drove their horses into the camp, there were many footprints on the ground, Zhao Yi glanced inside along the curtain that was lifted by the breeze, and there were many people lying in the tent.

Wen Qin opened the curtain in the past, and a bloody aura rushed towards him. The tent was full of dead people. Wen Qin, who was accustomed to seeing bloody scenes, took two steps back with a pale face. Zhao Yi walked over and opened the curtain to take a look, and his sword eyebrows frowned, "These beasts! ”

Zhao Yi checked several other tents, there were blood stains in the tents, but there were no corpses, it seemed that they had been cleaned up. The powerful Xianbei tribal alliance died at Tanshihuai, and in just three years it fell apart, and since then there has been another scuffle between the tribes. Some Xianbei people, tired of fighting, brought their families to the border, hoping for a peaceful life. But without the protection of the tribe, these Xianbei people have become the target of bullying. Murder and robbery often happen in this endless grassland. These humble people are one of the many wretched ones.

"These people are so ruthless, there are rules between the tribes that they are not allowed to kill men who are not taller than the wheels, and they don't even let go of a one- or two-year-old doll, it's really hateful." Wen Qin said with an indignant face, she couldn't wait to skin and tear apart this group of inhumane beasts. Wen Qin sighed again after speaking, those people had already left, if Zhao Yi hadn't passed by, the dead in the tent would have been destined to be exposed to the wilderness.

"Look at the footprints of these people, the number is no more than three hundred." Zhao Yi groped his chin.

Wen Qin snorted, "At this time, these people are probably already thirty miles away, what is the use of you checking these things." ”

"In that case, why did they gather the dead bodies in one tent?" Zhao Yi looked at Wen Qin with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Wen Qin is also a person with a lively mind, and after Zhao Yi's click, his eyes lit up, "You mean, they will come back?" ”
