These words made the smile on Zhao Yi's face freeze instantly, and his tone was gloomy: "Call." "Zhao Yi knew that Yang Xiu was not the material to be the county guard, and he was afraid that something would happen to the county, so he sent Tai Shici, who was accustomed to fighting, to the county as a lieutenant.

The situation in Daijun was very complicated, not only close to the Kebineng department, but also bordering the Southern Xiongnu. Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and he hoped that what happened was not a war.

This dusty Daijun soldier heard Zhao Yi's summons and hurriedly came in to pay a respect. When he went to Youzhou to report the news that day, Zhao Yi had just left for half a day, and the state capital, under the leadership of Cheng Yin, adopted emergency measures to temporarily deal with the matter, and ordered the soldiers to report the matter to Zhao Yi as soon as possible, so that Zhao Yi could decide.

The soldiers entered the military tent, bowed to Zhao Yi, and without waiting for Zhao Yi to ask, they reported the matter to Zhao Yi: "Lord Qiqi, ten days ago, Qiangqu, the leader of the Southern Huns, led 50,000 thieves to loot Daijun, and General Tai Shi Ci resisted desperately, but the thieves were in full swing, and General Tai Shi Ci was outnumbered, so I am afraid that it will not last long, so please send troops to rescue quickly." ”

"What?!" Zhao Yi stood up, and he put most of his thoughts on the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, but ignored this Southern Xiongnu. This Southern Xiongnu was so bold that he dared to plunder the prefectures and counties through the Kebineng Department.

On the 10th, this time is not short, the situation in Daijun must be imminent, Zhao Yi walked back and forth in the military tent, and asked the soldiers: "Can the state capital deal with it?" ”

"When I arrived at the state capital, my lord had already left. It was the order of Cheng Yin, Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke, and at this time, General Wenchou had already led the Youzhou army and the people of Zhuo County to Dai County to support, and General Murong Fu personally led the cavalry to take the lead. ”

The soldier's words made Zhao Yi's hanging heart settle, fortunately, Cheng Yin and others were in Youzhou, if they acted in accordance with the regulations at this time, they would definitely delay the war.

The war in Daijun was urgent, and Zhao Yi did not stay in the Nanlou tribe for a long time, nor did he have time to tell Nanlou the details of the plan, so he left here.

Nanlou knew the ferocity and strength of the Southern Hun soldiers, and Zhao Yi's troops were afraid that it would be difficult to resist, so he stopped Zhao Yi, who was leaving quickly: "Bolai, the Hun soldiers are brave and strong, and your officers and soldiers may be difficult to resist, I will let Lou Man bring 20,000 soldiers to help you." ”

At this time, the war was urgent, and Zhao Yi did not politely say to the help of the difficult building: "Okay!" Thank you father-in-law for your help. ”

The Wuhuan soldiers gathered very quickly under the command of Nanlou, Nanlou trusted Zhao Yi very much, although the 20,000 soldiers were led by Lou Man and Wen Qin, but the command of Nanlou was handed over to Zhao Yi.

Because Nanlou knew that Lou Man and Wen Qin were not Zhao Yi's opponents with their combined resourcefulness, only by letting Zhao Yi be the commander could the casualties of the troops be reduced.

Zhao Yi took the 20,000 iron horsemen of the Wuhuan tribe to leave the Wuhuan tribe in Nanlou, and did not rush back to Youzhou, but went directly to Daijun via Shanggu County.

Crossing the border of Shanggu County, Zhao Yi led the soldiers to a special trip to the camp of Shanggu County.

Commander Gao Zhi learned from the observation post that a large group of cavalry was approaching his camp at great speed, and this news startled Gao Zhi, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to reorganize their arms for battle, while he went to the camp to observe.

Glancing at the cavalry that raised up clouds of dust and sand like a long black dragon, Gao Zhi swallowed his saliva: "Archers prepare!" "Since Zhao Yi became the pastor of Youzhou, there has been no war in Youzhou for several months. The Kobineng Division, which used to harass the border from time to time, was attacking and killing the Suri Division during this time, and there was no time to plunder the interior. As for the Wuhuan tribe, Gao Zhi has no need to worry.

Zhao Yi has become the son-in-law of Nanlou, and among the three Wuhuan tribes in Youzhou, Nanlou is the closest to Youzhou. And in Zhao Yi's order to allocate dozens of miles of land to Nanlou, the official army and the Wuhuan tribe almost formed an alliance, and each other became horns. Of course, Gao Zhi would also send soldiers to harass the Wuhuan tribe scattered in Shanggu County in his spare time, promoting the integration of the Wuhuan tribe.

The camp of Shanggu County echoes the east and west of the Nanlou tribe, and if it is properly coordinated, it can block an army of 100,000.

"Looking at the length of the march, it is estimated that there are 20,000 soldiers and horses." The number of cavalry surprised Gao Zhi, after a long time of melee, Kebineng's department was unable to draw out so many soldiers, in other words, if there were 20,000 cavalry, Suli's department would have been defeated by Kebineng, and it would be able to form the current state of confrontation.

The subordinate general asked Gao Zhi: "General, the other party is less than ten miles away from our department, do you want to line up to fight?" ”

Gao Zhi groaned for a while and said, "At this time, the enemy and I are unknown, let's observe again." Saying that, Gao Zhi sighed: "If it is an enemy army, we can't act rashly" If it is an enemy cavalry, Gao Zhi can still rely on the fortifications around the camp to hold on, and fight in formation, how can his own troops block the charge of 20,000 cavalry.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, Zhao Yi stopped at a stone's throw and waved his hand to make Wen Qin and Lou Man stop moving. He took Dian Wei alone to fifty steps away from the camp of Shanggu County, looked at the rows of archers in Yuanmen, and shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Captain Shanggu? Come out and see me! ”

After Gao Zhi saw Zhao Yi's appearance clearly, he exhaled in his heart, thinking that it was an enemy attack, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Yi. For Youzhou Mu Zhao Yi, Gao Zhi didn't dare to lose his courtesy, and hurriedly went out of the camp to greet him.

What happened in Daijun, Gao Zhi had received the news the day before yesterday, at this time, the border of Shanggu County was peaceful, and Gao Zhi wanted to send half of the soldiers to support Daijun but was blocked by the county guard.

The county guard said that at this time, Shanggu County would not withdraw troops and the border would be peaceful, and if half of the troops were transferred, the balance of power between the three parties might be broken.

Although Kebineng and Suli were in a state of fighting, they were both Xianbei after all, and in order to benefit the two sides of reconciliation, it was very likely that the two sides would reconcile, and the Southern Xiongnu attacked Daijun and attracted a part of Youzhou's troops. If the guards of the county were to be transferred, wouldn't it be dangerous if the Kebi Neng Department took advantage of the situation to enter Kamiya County.

The county guard's point of view is correct, and Zhao Yi specially came to this Shanggu County camp to ask about this matter. Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Daijun Office had not been mobilized, Zhao Yi was also relieved. If the strength of Daijun's department is empty, and Kebi can form an alliance with Su Li to attack Daijun, Zhao Yi can be said to be attacked by the enemy at that time. And Goguryeo and Fuyu, who learned about the war situation in the east, will definitely not be willing to be lonely, and will definitely ignite the flames of war in the east, and the balance pattern of Youzhou will be broken in an instant. At that time, if Zhao Yi makes a slight mistake, it is very likely that these major tribes will be able to carve up Youzhou.

Zhao Yi instructed Gao Zhi that if the Kebi Neng Department attacked, he was only allowed to defend it, and he was not allowed to go out of the city to face the battle. And said to Gao Zhi that he had already greeted the difficult building, and with the department of the difficult building to take care of it, Shanggu County must be impregnable.

It is impossible for Zhao Yi to be cautious, if Shanggu County can be broken through by Kebi, then the soldiers and horses of Xianbei will be able to drive straight into Zhuojun and Youzhou directly.

After instructing Gao Zhi, Zhao Yi and the others did not stop, but led their troops to continue to march southwest. After a day and two nights of trekking, the cavalry finally came to the county town of Quang Ninh, which was not far from the place of battle.

When Zhao Yi walked into the county seat, he found that the county order had moved all the people in the county, and only soldiers were left in the city.

Zhao Yi asked why officials acted in this way.

The county commander asked Zhao Yi to board the city gate, pointed to the southwest direction, and explained: "The Hun cavalry is currently confronting Yang Xiu, the county guard of Daijun County, in Huai'an County, and the county seat of Guangning is less than 100 miles away from Huai'an County, and the Hun cavalry will arrive in less than three hours." Withdrawing the people and soldiers will allow them to fight without any fears. ”

Zhao Yi nodded, this county order is correct to do so. "What your lord said is reasonable, can your lord have a map of Daijun?"

"Yes, my lord." Since the Southern Xiongnu fought with Daijun, the county commander ordered people to find maps to study the situation of the warring sides. And also told Zhao Yi in detail about the battle situation, the Southern Xiongnu by the leader Qiang Qu personally led the troops, Huai'an County was particularly fierce, in the face of the attack of 50,000 Huns, the official army was unusually defended, the two sides fought for several days, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

However, although the county seat of Huai'an is still in the hands of the official army, but the villages around Huai'an have suffered a great disaster, the Xiongnu came too fast, and many people did not have time to evacuate, so they were blocked in the village by the Xiongnu, so far, the casualties of the people have exceeded 10,000.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and his hatred for the Southern Xiongnu increased a few points again. The Southern Xiongnu had been friendly with the Han Dynasty when they moved to the border, and had resisted the invasion of the Northern Xiongnu for the Han Dynasty. It's so deceitful.

Zhao Yi stared at the map with his eyes flashing, and ordered the Wuhuan soldiers to rest during the day today and have important things to do at night.

Wen Qin is a person who is single-minded, and when he heard Zhao Yi's order, he already thought of something: "Aren't we going to support Huai'an County?" Do you have any other plans? ”

"At this time, Qiangqu is in confrontation with Tai Shici and others, and I don't know that I have come here, and naturally I don't know that the 20,000 cavalry in our hands will be in our hands, if we bypass the back of the Southern Xiongnu tonight and attack the grain and grass of the Southern Xiongnu, we will definitely receive unexpected results, and the battle that has been stalemate for a long time is very likely to end in just a few days." Zhao Yi's eyes showed a cold color, and he said with a murderous aura, "It's just right to come, just to use your 50,000 Hun soldiers to establish prestige." ”

Zhao Yi's long-awaited tough battle has finally arrived, this battle must be won, Zhao Yi must rely on this battle to establish his prestige and win over the scattered people in Youzhou, which is even more important than annihilating the Hun soldiers.

Surprise can indeed receive unexpected results, and Wen Qin did not stop Zhao Yi's plan. Instead, he obeyed the order and went down to convey the order to the soldiers.

Time passed quietly when Zhao Yi finalized the details, and night fell, and before Zhao Yi gave the order, Wen Qin and the difficult building were already ready, and the soldiers had already gathered outside the city.

They also often did this kind of night attack, and they wore darker clothes, and the horses' hooves were covered with strips of cloth, so that the concussions caused by walking were greatly reduced.

Zhao Yi looked at the Wuhuan soldiers with fierce expressions, his self-confidence increased greatly, and he turned his head to the county order and said: "I am not familiar with the terrain of Daijun and Shanggu County, and I ask my lord to send a familiar person to guide us." ”

This matter is the most important thing, and whether today's war can be effective depends on this guide. The county magistrate volunteered: "The lowly boy has traveled back and forth between the two counties, and he knows the terrain of the two places as if he was in charge, so this time the lower officials will lead the way." ”

"That's going to be a hassle." Zhao Yi did not thank the county commander politely and simply, then turned his head and said to his soldiers: "Let's go!" ”
