Wen Qin didn't ask Zhao Yi why he attacked and killed Qiu Liju, but he was a little shocked by Zhao Yi's actions: "Qiu Liju brought two thousand Wuhuan cavalry with us on this trip, and we only have five hundred troops in our hands, how can we match them?" This is what Wen Qin is most worried about.

"A surprise attack may have an unexpected effect." Zhao Yi groped his chin, in order to rush to the Wuhuan tribe as soon as possible, Zhao Yi didn't bring many people, and Zhao Yi was also afraid that bringing more people would cause disgust in the difficult building, so he brought three thousand soldiers with him. So Zhao Yi only brought five hundred guards.

At this time, Zhao Yi is in the Wuhuan tribe, and the quasi-father-in-law of Nanlou has a lot of soldiers and horses, if the Xianbei tribe comes to attack, Zhao Yi may not be stingy with the soldiers, but to deal with Qiu Liju, who is the leader of the Wuhuan tribe with Nanlou, I am afraid that Nanlou will not help.

But Zhao Yi also knew that if Qiu Liju, a person with great ambitions, returned to Liaoxi County, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it would be very difficult for Zhao Yi to kill him again. This is indeed an excellent opportunity, Zhao Yi does not want to give up, this matter has great risks, but there is also a great chance of winning.

Although the soldiers of Zhao Yi's department are also brave, if compared with the two thousand Wuhuan warriors, the chance of victory is still not great. The Wuhuan tribe is outside the fortress, has a good ability to respond to the sudden danger, and there are no shelters such as woods and hills within a radius of a hundred miles, even if Zhao Yi suddenly launched an attack on Qiu Liju, he was afraid that he would be discovered by the scouts five miles away, and this time was enough for Qiu Liju to make any reaction.

Wen Qin explained the surrounding situation to Zhao Yi in detail: "The surrounding environment is simple, if we want to attack, we may have to wait until the evening, and under the cover of the night, we will wait until we are close enough to the military camp and suddenly attack." There may be a chance of success. ”

What Wen Qin said was similar to what Zhao Yi was thinking, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth: "Okay, let's act according to the plan!" With that, Zhao Yi called Dian Wei in and told his soldiers to hurry up and rest. Tomorrow's ambush of Qiu Liju, Zhao Yi did not inform Dian Wei and the others for the time being.

At night, Nanlou set up a banquet to see off Zhao Yi and Qiu Liju and others, and during the banquet, the two pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and talked familiarly. The relationship between the two seems to be very harmonious.

Qiu Liju seemed to ask Nanlou casually: "When will the virtuous niece get married?" Will the old man be lucky enough to attend Miss Wen Qin's wedding? ”

"The wedding date has not yet been set, and the government affairs of Bolai Youzhou are busy, so this wedding can only be made up in the future." Nanlou stroked his beard and said with a smile.

The eyes lit up when he heard this, which showed that he still had a chance, as long as he could kill Zhao Yi tomorrow. I will behave well in front of the difficult building, Wen Qin is not in my own bag, thinking of this, my heart is full of depression, and I raise my glass to Zhao Yi slightly: "Lord Zhao is very courageous, and I admire it very much." There were many offends the day before yesterday, so please don't blame them. ”

Zhao Yi saw that Badun said such humble words, and hurriedly said, "The son has tormented Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi may have to rely on the support of the two of them to do things in Youzhou in the future, so why blame him. Zhao Yi said so in his mouth, but in his heart he was a little strange about the performance of Badun, Zhao Yi and Badun had only known each other for a day, although the time was short, but he also had some understanding of Badun's character. Yesterday, when Nanlou asked Zhao Yi if he could be serious, Zhao Yi clearly saw a bit of resentment in his eyes.

How could a person as frivolous and arrogant as Bun Dun easily let go of Zhao Yi who made him lose face. Now when I say this kind of thing, I can't tell what is bad in my heart.

Zhao Yi's mind turned sharply, but he still had a warm smile on his face, and slapped the table and said a few policies: "After this official takes office, he will immediately order the restoration of trade relations with the Wuhuan tribe, and order the Liaoxi county guard to help the Wuhuan tribe." And open the national defense, the Han and Wuhuan tribes can get married. When he said this, Zhao Yi deliberately said: "But our custom should be slightly adjusted so that the Han people can accept it." ”

As soon as these policies came out, Qiu Liju and Bang Dun's eyes flashed, and Qiu Liju said with some emotion: "My lord's sincerity, how dare the old man refuse." The old man returned to the tribe and immediately restrained the soldiers. From then on, you and I lived together peacefully. ”

Zhao Yi was very excited about Qiu Liju's words that could almost be regarded as an alliance: "Good, good, so good." "When others see the three Wuhuan tribes entrenched in Youzhou, two of them have been dealt with by Zhao Yi, and they seem to be able to associate the scene of unity, mutual assistance and common development of all ethnic groups.

But whether it was Nanlou who was sitting on the right seat, or Zhao Yi who kept toasting with Qiu Liju, they all understood that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

After two hours, Qiu Liju and the others used the excuse of going back to pack their things, walked out of the military and politics drunkenly, and returned to their tent with figure-eight steps, Qiu Liju's vain steps suddenly became calm, and his sloppy gaze refocused.

Bun Dun and Qiu Liju were both pretending to be drunk, and Bun Dun now thought about what Zhao Yi said, and said to Qiu Liju: "Father, the child thinks that we can abide by the policy that Zhao Yi said. ”

"Oh?" Qiu Liju looked at Badun, walked two steps in the tent, and did not blame Badun, but asked Badun: "Since you agree to do this, tell me what you think?" ”

On the way to the barracks, he had already thought clearly, and when he heard Qiu Liju's question, he didn't have a panicked expression, but said directly: "Although we have obtained some property for the looting materials for many years, we have won more and lost less in battles with the official army, but our tribe has limited soldiers, and Youzhou can transfer soldiers from all over the country, if it continues like this for a long time, our tribe is only afraid that it will be boiled to death." Zhao Yi's three policies are very beneficial to us, and we just take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate. "What he thought was good, if the Wuhuan tribe could be stable for ten years, and these teenagers below would also grow into warriors, then they would have enough strength in their hands, and it would not be a problem to see the opportunity to enter the inland and lay down a piece of the country.

Qiu Liju nodded: "Badun, you can have such knowledge, my father is very pleased." But you're ignoring an important question. ”

"What's the problem?" Badun asked strangely.

Qiu Liju sighed: "It's easy to say that the two things of interchanging trade and subsidizing food are the key to the national defense, if our soldiers marry a Han girl, or our girl marries a Han person, there is this flesh and blood affection." The flesh and bones, whose blood is thicker than water, will rust the sharp swords and iron will of our soldiers. At that time, our army will be in turmoil, and Zhao Yi may not need to move a single soldier, and our tribe will automatically fall apart. Zhao Yi's move seems to be gentle, but it is actually the most insidious and vicious.

His face changed, and he didn't think about the problem thoroughly. "What should we do according to our father?"

"Naturally, we want to take the opportunity to develop our forces, the three Wuhuan tribes are majestic and majestic, but if you really do it, you will definitely not be the opponent of the endless court officials and troops. If we can get a few county officials to work with us, we have a much better chance of success. ”

"In that case, are we still attacking and killing Zhao Yi?" Badun asked, if Zhao Yi died, another state pastor would not act according to Zhao Yi's policy.

"Zhao Yi must die, if Zhao Yi is in Youzhou, it will be difficult for us to act. Attack and kill Zhao Yi, and then we will unite with them, and we will be sure of it no matter how we advance or retreat. Qiu Liju said with a smile, the three Wuhuan tribes are united, but it is a big force. Near they can plunder the prefectures and counties, and even capture the land, if they retreat, they can stick to the camp, and neither the Xianbei tribe nor the Han Dynasty can touch them.

"Father's plan is very good, and the child is less than one-tenth of yours." Bun Dun said respectfully, expressing his admiration for Qiu Liju's foresight.

Qiu Liju's praise of Badun was very useful, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face: "You are still young, and you will naturally increase your vision and resourcefulness with more training in the future, Zhao Yi is a good example, only when you have experienced more things and have rich experience can you hone a person so shrewdly." ”

"Zhao Yi will leave tomorrow, you go down and tell the soldiers to hurry up and rest, we have big things to do tomorrow." Qiu Liju snorted.

Seeing that he bowed down to do things, Qiu Liju nodded secretly, took out the map of Youzhou, and speculated about the path that Zhao Yi left and the location of his ambush.

Zhao Yi didn't stay long here in Nanlou, and returned to the barracks, Zhao Yi's plan was very simple, take advantage of the night to touch Qiu Liju's camp tent, these five hundred cavalry directly attacked Qiu Liju's military tent, as long as Qiu Liju died, the remaining Wuhuan soldiers would not have to worry.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yi had just finished gathering the soldiers, Dian Wei ran over in a panic, Zhao Yi saw Dian Wei have such a panicked look for the first time, and hurriedly asked: "Why is General Dian Wei panicking?" ”

Dian Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, organized the language and whispered, "General, the Qiu Li Residence Department left here half an hour ago. ”

This news made Zhao Yijian frown slightly, he didn't expect Qiu Liju to go so fast, this half an hour was enough for Qiu Liju and the others to run out for dozens of miles, Zhao Yi felt a little remorse in his heart, why didn't he place a probe horse around Qiu Liju's camp last night, and now it's a little late to pursue it. Zhao Yi sighed deeply, especially when the Nanlou led the troops to come here to see him off, Zhao Yi could only revoke the order, and said a few words to the soldiers of the Nanlou Division, and then waved goodbye to the Nanlou Division.

Seeing that Zhao Yi only brought five hundred soldiers, Nanlou was not worried about Zhao Yi's comfort, and the famous forces in Shanggu County had some stragglers in addition to their own tribe. However, the number of those stragglers was very small, and they did not dare to confront the elite soldiers of Zhao Yi's department at all.

Nanlou led the soldiers to personally send Zhao Yi and others to the border between the Wuhuan tribe and the imperial court: "Further south is the boundary of the imperial court, and my special identity cannot be sent anymore." ”

Zhao Yi nodded, said goodbye to the difficult building, and led the troops south.

"Nanlou attaches great importance to Zhao Yi, the future son-in-law," Seeing this situation, Jian Dun, who was hiding in the dark to observe Zhao Yi's movements, snorted lightly, and ordered a soldier to quickly tell Qiu Liju the news, while he stayed and continued to observe Zhao Yi's movements.
