The next day, Zhu Li tested Zhou Dewei's martial arts and was greatly satisfied.

He didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general in Shuozhou, which was ruined and withered, Zhou Dewei had already broken through the heavenly barrier, and he was a peerless fierce general, which made Zhu Li overjoyed.

After five generations of fierce generals, Zhou Dewei can definitely be among them, but because of Zhu Li in his previous life, he has always paid attention to the first few people, which ignores his existence, in fact, Zhou Dewei is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also with heavy soldiers, can attack and defend well, and often wins by surprise, he is not only a fierce general, but also a famous general.

Zhou Dewei, as the Sima of the Assassin's Mansion, was himself an official rank of the fifth grade, and with Zhu Li's rank, he couldn't give him a higher official position at all, so he had to let him change his position at the same level, and named him the captain of the Yue Cavalry, with the rank of general.

Let him first serve as the chief general of more than 4,000 Yue cavalry under his command, Zhu Li is the assassin history, and in the future, these Yue cavalry may only be the commander of him, and his trust in him is self-evident.

(The Assassin Mansion generally sets up Beijia, Changshi, and Sima, and Shangzhou Assassin Shi is a four-grade official, so Beijia, Changshi, and Sima are also from the four products; And the history of the Xiazhou assassin is from the fourth-grade official, the long history and Sima can only be the fifth-grade official, and most of the adjutants of the Xiazhou assassin history are not all set, so Shuozhou is also missing. ）

After everything was ready, Zhu Li began to implement their established plan in Beikou, infiltrating and encroaching on the party, and at the same time, in order to solve the problem of grain and grass, he must also pretend to be horse bandits and rob the Khitans.

Dangxiang, a descendant of the Qiang people, is known as Dangxiang Qiang, and the most famous Dangxiang tribe near Shuozhou is the Dangxiang people headed by Youzhou Thorn Shi Tuoba Sigong.

Tuoba Sigong's sphere of influence included Xiazhou, Suizhou, Youzhou, Yinzhou, Jingzhou, and even affected Shengzhou, which happened to be close to Shuozhou, in the northwest of Shuozhou.

If it is encroached on Shengzhou, it is necessary to try to cross the Yellow River, and the closest place to Shuozhou from the Yellow River is the deviation of the head of the Yellow River, and the distance of the deviation to the west of the head is the Yellow River. (Tanglong Town, it will be called a partial head in the future, and the checkpoint will be built sooner or later)

The place occupied by the party members is too good, Shuozhou is too poor, and Zhu Li is even poorer, if it encroaches on the party items, and then annexes the Hetao, and uses the rich products of the Hetao to feed the people and raise soldiers, it will naturally not be a problem.

In July, Zhu Li took out 1,000 people from the auxiliary army and handed them to Shi Yan, asking him to build a ferry along the Yellow River, and he and Zhou Dewei began to implement Guo Qizuo's strategy, led his subordinates, crossed the Great Wall, and began the career of "horse bandits".

They targeted the first battle on a Khitan tribe of 2,000 people near Yinshan, because the scouts found many Han Chinese slaves in this tribe. The Khitans seized the Han Chinese, and if they were men, they forced them to do heavy labor; If it is a woman, the beautiful one has become the plaything of the Khitan nobles, and the average looking person has to engage in heavy chores like men.

After the goal was determined, they Pegasus felt that the destination was near, Zhu Li and Zhou Dewei discussed, and planned to start at dawn the next day, so they hid their subordinates in a hidden depression, and after a full meal, they told Yue Qi to rest and wait for the time to come.

---- Dividing Line----

It is said that a few days ago, Zhu Li and Zhou Dewei led their subordinates to set off the day before, in front of the Assassin's Mansion in Shuozhou, and three people came the next day.

And the two people behind her are both black horse black helmets, stout and stout big men, one of them is holding two giant axes in both hands, and the other is holding two giant hammers in both hands.

Someone in front of the Assassin's Mansion recognized the silver helmet general, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the little lady of Wei Chi, are you here to find our envoy?" ”

This person is none other than Yu Chi Jin, Zhu Li took office as the assassin of Shuozhou, she was very happy in her heart, she actually had some fantasies in her heart, she had reminded Zhu Li and asked him to go to Wei Chi's mansion, but the other party was stunned and ran directly to Shuozhou.

After all, in ancient times, women gave birth to children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and although Wei Chijin was only a fourteen-year-old girl, she had already looked forward to happiness in the future.

As the saying goes, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very backbone, she is watching, the little girls under her command are about to be called by her to become Wangfu Shi, but the first class does not come, and the second class has no shadow, this Captain Chi Jin is on fire, what do you Zhu Li mean, just have a little future, do you forget that the old lady is not successful, she did not listen to Mrs. Yu Chi's advice at all, and after wearing it neatly in a rage, she took two close generals and killed them to the Thorn History Mansion in Shuozhou.

The tooth soldier in front of the Assassin's Mansion recognized her, but it made Wei Chijin's expression soften a lot, and said softly: "Yes, what about your envoy, do you want to go in and report it?" ”

The tooth soldier didn't hear Wei Chi Jin's teasing, and still said respectfully: "Back to the lady's words, the envoy will go on the expedition yesterday, and only the little lady is in the house." ”

The tooth soldiers still regarded Wei Chi Jin as their own, so he spoke very calmly, but he suddenly thought of something, and continued to speak: "By the way, Guo Duwei also lives in the mansion, if the lady has something, you might as well go to him and ask, Ning Er Xiaoniang is following Mr. to study and read, I'm afraid she won't be available." ”

"Going out, is it the Khitans who are coming, or which Jiedu envoy is attacking here?" Wei Chi Jin's heart was shocked, the anger in his phoenix eyes disappeared, a touch of melancholy appeared, but his mouth was full of speculation.

When the tooth soldier heard this, he smiled helplessly: "I don't know about this family, but Guo Duwei must know." ”

"Okay, please take me to Mr. Guo." Wei Chi Jin's evil anger all the way was instantly thrown into Java, and when he heard that guy was going on the expedition again, he urged the tooth soldiers.

"Okay." The tooth soldier was very happy, turned around and led the three of them into the Assassin's Mansion.

The Thorn Mansion is very large, but it is very empty, it seems that it is not popular, the huge Thorn Mansion, except for the tooth soldiers, the three of them walked for a long time, and they did not see half a figure, until they walked into the inner courtyard, close to the attic on one side, and only then did they see Guo Qizuo above.

"Mr. Guo, where did your envoy go?" Wei Chi Jin climbed up to the attic with "kicking, kicking, kicking", and didn't let the tooth soldiers report at all, looking at Guo Qizuo, who was writing and painting there, and opened his mouth to ask.

Guo Qizuo raised his head, and when he saw that it was Wei Chijian, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and invited the three of them to sit down first, then hesitated and said: "The envoy has already gone to the north of the Great Wall yesterday, well, 'hunting'." ”

"Hunting?" Yu Chi Jinfeng's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Guo Qizuo's eyes unkindly, do you want to go so far for hunting, go to the north of the Great Wall to hunt, isn't this obviously not wanting to tell the truth.

Guo Qizuo seemed to sense that Wei Chi Jin's expression was wrong, and still said calmly: "Wei Chi Niangzi doesn't know, the land of Shuozhou is really poor, if it is barren, it can't be talked about, but the huge land of Yizhou is less than 6,000 households, and the population is only in the early 30,000s, so the 15,000 army brought by the envoy from Beikou can't expect these people to pay taxes to feed, so they can only find a way to solve the problem of grain, grass, and silver." ”

"That's why he went north of the Great Wall to hunt?" When Wei Chijin heard this, he looked suspicious, but then his phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous look and said, "Is he going to hunt, or is he going to hunt?" ”

"Hahaha, the lady is really smart, the land of Yunshuo has always had serious military disasters, but who stipulated that only those Hu people can come to rob our Han people, but we Han people are not allowed to rob them." Speaking of this, Guo Qizuo's eyes became fierce, as if even he wanted to rush up with a knife to kill a few Hu people.

However, such a look only appeared for a moment, and then recovered, and continued: "Guo got the news that the Khitan nobles were seizing power and attacking each other, so he suggested that Junbei should conquer the Khitan, eat away at their living forces, plunder their cattle and sheep, property, and women, and at the same time rescue those Han people who fell into their hands, so that it can not only solve the problem of food and grass and silver for the army, but also fill the population of Shuozhou, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's proper, it's proper." When the big man with the double axe heard this, he echoed and said, his name is Xie Tian, one of the generals under Wei Chi Jin.

"Well, yes, that's a good idea, if I'm under the command of the envoy, I'll kill a few of his dogs." The big man with the double hammer also said repeatedly, his name is Xie Di, and he is loyal to Yu Chi Jin together with his eldest brother Xie Tian.

Wei Chi Jin glanced at them helplessly, these three angry young people were really hopeless, and said solemnly: "What is it, sir, have you ever thought that if you do this, you will let the Khitans target your envoy?" ”

Wei Chijin asked rhetorically, she saw that Guo Qizuo seemed to want to explain, and without waiting for him to speak, she said again: "I know that with Mr.'s strategy, the whereabouts of the Shuozhou army will definitely not be exposed, but after conquering the Khitans, does Mr. think that he can succeed by killing alone?" ”

When Guo Qizuo heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought about it slightly, he naturally knew that conquering a powerful nation could not be achieved by killing alone, and the reason why he came up with this strategy was, first of all, because of the grim situation he was currently facing; Secondly, he has been with Wu Mourning for a long time, and he will be more or less influenced by him, even Zhu Li is no exception, Wu Mourning Heavenly King, the founder of the killing of Hu Ling, is full of contempt and hatred for the Hu people in his bones, and when they encounter such a thing, their first thought is to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

Seeing Guo Qizuo pondering, Wei Chijin said again: "Sir's strategy, if I guess correctly, is it like the Khitans dealing with my Han people to deal with them, is that so?" ”

"Yes, doesn't the little lady think it's wrong?" Guo Qizuo said curiously.

"Cannibalizing the Khitans, the direction of the strategy is not wrong, the Khitan is very powerful, if they are unified, it will inevitably become a big trouble in the Central Plains, and Shuozhou, as an important border town, will inevitably bear the brunt, now while their departments are now busy fighting for the Han throne, it is a good time to implement the plan, and they have no time to pay attention to your little move."

"But the Khitans can also be ambushed, for those who resist to the end, kill them, but for those who are willing to surrender, we don't need to kill them all, move their families inward, it is still easy to control the Khitan warriors who surrendered these people, as long as they are scattered, incorporated into the army, and their families are mixed among the people of Shuozhou, we are not afraid that they will be capricious."

After listening to Wei Chijian's words, Guo Qizuo was silent.
