"What's the situation going on?" Gongsun Xun asked as he stroked the dirty cases in front of him, which seemed to have been robbed, because there were even knife marks and blood stains on them.

"I bought it for half a leg of mutton." Mo Huqi hurriedly explained. "I didn't rob it, but the people of Tayubu were trying to approve it as firewood......

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile, but he didn't touch the case anymore: "Mo Hutou, what do you say about the battle situation." ”

"The situation is not very good." Mo Hu sighed, but quickly changed his words. "No, the situation should be pretty good......

"Is it good or bad?" Gongsun Xun seemed to be smiling.

"It's bad for us Xianbei people." Mo Hu is right. "But for Gongsun Shaodong, you Han people......"

"I've been crowned an adult, and I have words, just call me Gongsun Wenqi."

"Let's call Shaodong!" Mo Hu laughed dryly. "I'm now off the Amway."

"Whatever you want." Gongsun Xun laughed. "You go on, why are you not under Yangle City, but here fifty miles away from Yangle City?"

"Actually, it's that you Han people reacted too quickly...... "Mo Huyun quickly explained.

It turned out that although the situation was different from what Gongsun Xun thought, the final situation was no different, and the Xianbei people were in a dilemma at this time.

First of all, Liucheng is so strong that the Xianbei people wasted their time there!

Think about it, Liucheng is the gateway to the cities outside the city to face Xianbei, and the grain, weapons, and soldiers in the city are all abundant, even if they are suddenly attacked, they are not Xianbei people can gnaw down...... Are you kidding? I haven't gnawed it for decades, but I can gnaw it off this time?

Secondly, the reinforcements came too fast and too fiercely!

Two hundred miles east of Liucheng is Yangle City, and behind Yangle City is Liaodong County, Liaodong Dependent State (the name Changli County may be more well-known), Xuansu County, and Lelang County...... Lelang County is farther away, but the reinforcements from the first three counties can be said to arrive. Besides, there is also Liaoxi Wuhuan, the main purpose of raising this dog in the Han Dynasty is to deal with the Xianbei people!

In fact, according to Mo Huyun's description, Mrs. Zhao's captivity may have been a bit self-defeating, not only did it fail to force Zhao Bao to surrender the city, but it made the surrounding Han army deeply stimulated, and even the Wuhuan people felt a little stepped on their tails.

"So, the current situation is that you divided your troops to surround Liucheng, and you were going to take Old Madam Zhao as a hostage to force a landing in Yangle City, but before you touched Yangle City, you met the reinforcements led by Zhao Taishou?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously. "And there are 20,000 reinforcements?"

"Yes." Mo Huqian took a deep breath and said. "There are Han cavalry equipped with iron armor, and Wuhuan cavalry with bows and spears like us, mixed together in the early 20,000s, and Zhao Taishou personally led them...... We didn't dare to fight at all, but we didn't dare to retreat, because the Han army on the opposite side was also full of cavalry, and once we retreated, we were afraid that we would be pursued by the tail, with countless casualties. Therefore, he could only reluctantly use the camp built before to confront the Han army, but the confrontation could not last for a few days, because no one knew how many reinforcements would come...... As far as I can see, either a retreat or a decisive battle will take place in a day or two. ”

Gongsun Xun stared at the other party and narrowed his eyes.

"That...... That Zhao Taishou's family is quite fine. After Mo Huqi glanced at the other party, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Before, the adults in the middle of the country wanted to use these people to force the landing of Yangle, and now they want to use these people to exchange for Zhao Taishou's temporary retreat, so as to flee for his life, so he has always been very preferential, and the maids have not been killed, so they are guarded in the Chinese army......"

"Isn't this central lord of your Xianbei being daydreaming?" Gongsun Xun breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but mock. "Still forced to land on Yangle?"

"Indeed." Mo Hu echoed. "I thought this method was too childish at the beginning, how could it be possible to exchange people for a city, and it is ...... But at this time, apart from this method, I think the new Chubu Lord is probably powerless...... Is Gongsun Shaodong here for this? Zhao Taishou sent you over? ”

"It's for that." Gongsun Xun nodded. "In any case, if you can save the lives of Mrs. Zhao's family, it will always be a great achievement. But I wasn't sent by Zhao Taishou...... Think about it, if I was sent by Zhao Taishou, how could I come from your Mohu Department behind me? ”

Mo Hu was slightly stunned.

"I was sent by Liu Tingshi, who is in charge of more than a dozen counties in Youzhou." Gongsun Xun continued. "You know what a history of assassination is, right?"

"Yes."

"That's good, to be honest, you Xianbei people have openly kidnapped the mother of a county guard this time, which is really a taboo, not only the outside of the city acted quickly, but also the Lulongsai side, and the soldiers and horses of several counties have already arrived in Lulongsai. Don't hide it from the Mohutou people, before I came, Liu Tingshi had already stationed 30,000 troops over there, and urgently selected 5,000 cavalry to prepare to attack Liucheng quickly and cut off your back road......"

Mo Hu's complexion changed greatly.

"Mo Hutou," Gongsun Xun tapped the few cases in front of him for a long time. "You are a rare smart person, and my mother said that you are a very good person...... In this case, you should know that my trip is not only to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, but also to save the lives of your entire tribe! Our business is done, I will be promoted and you will make a fortune, if you can't do it, I will die in this Xianbei camp, and your whole clan will be buried with me! ”

The camp was so quiet that even the breathing of the two of them could be heard clearly, and in fact, Mo Huyun's breathing seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, Mo Huqi finally laughed dryly: "Actually, even if Liu Tingshi didn't send five thousand cavalry to fight Liucheng, I should try to assist Shaodong...... The figure who led the Chinese army is called Ke Zitan, who is Ke Zique's nephew, who has just taken over for a year, and the situation is not very stable, if you really know about Ke Zique's matter, I am afraid that I will also kill me to win the hearts of the people in my headquarters......"

"And then?" Gongsun Xun interrupted the other party impatiently.

"Then please Shaodong save me again, and save my whole clan again!" Mo Huyun finally couldn't hold it anymore, and knelt down directly, and sobbed. "You can tell me to do anything...... Just save me! ”

Gongsun Xun nodded with satisfaction.

"Please give Shaodong an order, what do you want me to do?" Finally wiping away the tears and snot on his face, Mo Huyun immediately raised his head and asked expectantly.

"What are we going to do?" At the same moment, in a small tent dozens of steps away from Gongsun Xun and Mo Huyun, Gongsun Fan put down the crockpot in his hand with a disgusted expression, and turned to ask a few people around him seriously.

"It's just improvisation." Lou Gui replied calmly. "I don't know what to do."

Gongsun Fan looked stunned, and then looked at the person in front of him carefully again as if he was meeting for the first time: "Wasn't it your idea?" Is your strategy to infiltrate the enemy camp and improvise? ”

"So what?"

"Then ......" Gongsun Fan hated to kill this guy now.

"What this Lou Zibo means is that the military situation is changing rapidly, and we can only set a general strategy, and it is impossible to react under any unclear circumstances." Cheng Pu, who was drinking porridge with his head bowed on the side, suddenly spoke. "And there are only five of us, so there's not much we can do......"

"Dare to ask Brother Demou," Gongsun Fan ignored Lou Gui and instead asked Cheng Pu, who looked more stable. "What is the general plan?"

"Uh......"

"First of all, we must know if Mrs. Zhao is still safe." At this time, Lou Gui suddenly took the initiative to speak again, forcing Cheng Pu to continue drinking porridge. "If Mrs. Zhao has been killed, then it will be useless for us to stay longer, and we will sneak out immediately; If Mrs. Zhao is still alive, the main thing is to rescue Mrs. Zhao...... After all, this is the mother of the county guard in Liaoxi, the county guard is like the monarch, and it can be regarded as the main mother of the Gongsun family, as long as this person can be saved in the army, the whole Zhao County will be loyal and filial, not to mention that the Taishou himself will be grateful, even if it is put in the whole world, it will be everyone's side; In the end, it would be great if you could do something that would help the battle in addition to saving people......"

Gongsun Fan forced his tired heart and said sarcastically: "As for how to save people and how to help the battle situation, if you want to come to Lou Zibo, you only have four words to improvise?" The rest is for my brother to risk his life? ”

"After all, I remembered for Wenqi how to break the game." Lou Gui sneered. "I don't know what Gongsun Fan did when you were a younger brother?"

Gongsun Fan immediately blushed.

"Both." Cheng Pu had already gulped down a small jar of slightly fishy mutton porridge at this time, and then put the crockpot on the ground. "The two of you, one is the younger brother of the Gongsun master, and the other is the guest of the Gongsun master, the so-called brother and the king...... Now, Gongsun is alone with the enemy outside, life and death are unknown, but the two of them are here holding meat porridge and fighting fiercely, is this the truth of being a younger brother and a guest? I, Cheng Pu, am grateful for the courage and loyalty of Gongsun Master, and I am here to do great things, but I am not here to listen to two people who are noisy like women! ”

"Brother Demou is right." At this time, Han Dang had already finished drinking a can, and was helping himself and Cheng Pu to go to the bucket to fill the porridge. "Although I, Han Yigong, don't know what the plan is, I also know that there are only five of us on this trip. Whether it is to save people, to rebel against the army, or even to flee for your life immediately, it takes strength, and nine times out of ten you have to fight for your life...... You two don't eat, is it really okay? ”

Gongsun Fan and Lou Gui glanced at each other, both of them were full of shame, and they each lowered their heads and swallowed the fishy porridge.

In this way, when the time came to noon, when the four people in the camp tent were unknown and uneasy, Gongsun Xun followed Mo Huqi to the Chinese army camp.

"Mo Hutou people!"

"Lord Mohu!"

"Mohu Chief!"

"Mo Hutou, my lord let you in...... Just put the knife here, and so does the warrior in the back. ”

Feng Shui takes turns, and for more than a year, for some people, it is nothing more than a trip to Luoyang, and their IQ is despised by their respective high-end people, but for the small tribes on the border, it is to turn over and become the master.

In the winter of the previous year, Mo Huqi was only a marginal tribal leader who could only make up 180 crooked melons and cracked dates, but at this time, he was a powerful leader who could produce 300 warriors and was equipped with weapons, leather armor, bows and arrows...... Xianbei people's respect and humility are very direct, and this change is enough to make those who originally looked down on him turn to respect him.

"Ke is the biggest man." Untied his weapon, as soon as he entered the big tent, Mo Huyun directly bowed, and then he was about to kneel.

"Sit, sit, sit...... Don't care. "Ke Zitan, who is sitting at the top, is a young man with a disheveled head, a stubbled beard, and a wolfskin robe, who can command tens of thousands of cavalry at this age, which is really more popular than people.

Relatively speaking, Gongsun Xun even had to bow to the other party in a similar manner...... It's a shame that I didn't let me kneel!

Mo Huqian sat cross-legged on a dirty mattress next to the door, and Gongsun Xun stood behind him with his head bowed, and as soon as he stood still, he heard a cat meow......

squinted and peeked over, but found that the reason why Ke Zitan was too lazy to let himself and others salute was because he was teasing the cat! Shouldn't I thank this cat ancestor?

"The Motou people came to me...... Is there someone stealing something from your Mohu Department again? This Ke Zitan asked a little helplessly while petting the cat.

"Not bad!" When Mo Hu heard this, his face immediately turned red. "Ke is the greatest, you have to be the master for me! This is the fifth time, and four or five bags of grain and seven or eight weapons have been lost before and after, no matter how rich the tribe is, it can't help this kind of stealing, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, the people sitting around Ke Zhizhi laughed.

"I know that." Ke Zitan above was also a little helpless. "But Mo Hutou, you don't have to worry too much about this...... I won't hide it from you, tomorrow we will wave our army to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, and those savages from the north of the desert will not be able to steal the sixth time. ”

The reason he thought of was blocked, and Mo Hu couldn't help but froze suddenly, but as his back was gently pushed like this, he immediately shook his head again: "Ke is the most important, it's not that I want to make trouble for you, my lord, but our Mo Hu Department can't live with those tribes overnight...... This morning, if I hadn't managed it well, I was afraid that I would have caught fire on the spot...... The fire of the tribesmen is too great! ”

Ke Zitan let go of the kitten in his hand, and couldn't help frowning: "Then what do you want?" Mo Hutou, I have to warn you, there is an army of Han people in front of you, you have to take care of your people for me...... If you really want to mess up, I will not be soft! ”

"Your Excellency." Mo Huqi looked earnest. "That's why I'm looking for you...... There are so many Han people in front, if there is really chaos, the entire camp will suffer, but the anger of the clansmen is getting stronger and stronger...... I mean, can you just change places for us now? It's also a real trouble. ”

Ke said frankly that he didn't speak for a while, but a henchman from the headquarters next to him couldn't help but look at Mo Huyun vigilantly: "Where do Mo Hutou people want to change?" ”

"How's the back camp?" Mo Huqian looked hopeful.

As soon as these words came out, the other people in the camp changed color, and Ke Zitan simply sneered: "Why don't you say that I will allow you to withdraw today?" It is said that you are cunning like a ghost, and today you really saw it...... Are you going to run back with your people as soon as the war starts tomorrow? ”

Mo Hu shook his head again and again: "How could it be?" Adults must believe me, am I that kind of person? ”

"Mo Hutou people!" Ke Zitan sat up straight cross-legged and said. "I tell you plainly, tomorrow's battle will still count on your warriors to help, and the back camp will never let you go. Don't make this request again, and if you keep talking, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Mo Huyun's face was embarrassed: "That...... How about the Chinese army? ”

"What?" Ke Zitan didn't understand for a while.

"Chinese Army ......"

"Meow ......"

At this moment, the guards in the camp who crossed the sword and held the spear, the 'official' in the middle of Xianbei, the henchmen of Ke Zhibu's headquarters, and Ke Zitan himself were suddenly attracted by a cat's meow...... I saw that the 'strange beast' that was snatched from Zhao Taishou's car, which looked like a little tiger, didn't know when, it actually came behind Mo Hu and shouted at his tall retinue warrior...... I still want to climb up my trouser legs.

Gongsun Xun didn't move, but cold sweat was already rippling on his back.

In other words, he just wanted to thank this cat ancestor, he didn't raise it for a few months in vain, so that he would avoid the humiliation of kneeling once, but at this moment, because of the grace of these few months, he was buried here?

"This little thing...... Do you know the warriors of the Mohutou Terran? Ke Zitan couldn't help but smile at Mo Hu and asked.

"And this warrior is a little raw, huh?" A bald Xianbei man sitting opposite Mo Hu couldn't help but speak. "I remember that the people of Mo Hutou used to be followed by a warrior with braided hair, who seemed to be called Que Li......"

Mo Huyun turned his head stiffly and glanced at Gongsun Xun...... To be honest, the former was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

The cat under his feet barked again, and tried to climb Gongsun Xun's trouser leg again, and someone around was already probing his brain to look at Gongsun Xun with his head down.

And at this moment, Gongsun Xun suddenly stretched out his hand into his arms...... And this action quickly aroused the vigilance of the Xianbei warriors around him, and some people had even pointed their spears at him faintly.

However, in the next moment, the tall samurai, with his hair scattered and his face covered with black oil, took out a piece of dried meat from his arms, and then bowed his head and fed it to the 'strange beast', and the 'strange beast' also licked it in the other party's hand.

The camp laughed, and even Ke Zitan, who was sitting on it, couldn't help but slap his knees.

Mo Huyun's face turned red, but he couldn't help the smile on his face: "Let the adults and the leaders see the smile, this person is the most greedy, and he came out with me with ...... of jerky."

"What is this?" Ke Zitan shook his head and smiled. "I thought it was Zhao Taishou's cronies and guests who came in and wanted to assassinate me?!"

Mo Hu laughed again.

"The head of the Mo account just said that he wanted to move the camp to the Chinese army?" The most frank cronie at the top of the sect also remembered the conversation just now.

"Yes!" Mo Huyun quickly came back to his senses and pleaded with Ke Zhitan. "If you come to the Chinese army, you won't suspect me anymore, right? It's tomorrow's war, and I can also be the vanguard, and follow the army's headquarters to the front......"

Ke Zhitan stopped smiling, and then stared at Mo Hu with interest...... Or maybe it stared at the 'strange beast' beside Mo Huqi who was trying to gnaw on the jerky.

In short, after looking at it for a long time, the young Xianbei Central Lord spoke: "Okay, it's right...... It just so happens that the Chinese army also has something here, and it is necessary to trouble the Mo Hutou people who know Chinese to do it! ”

Gongsun Xun, who was feeding the cat, moved slightly.

"The western border county of Liaoning, facing Xianbei, has been repeatedly invaded, Taizu lives here, and has repeatedly fought against it at the age of a weak crown. Tried to attack the enemy camp at night with thirty horsemen, and lived and died in an instant; He also tried to infiltrate the enemy's army with several people, and faced the enemy chieftain, and encountered accidents. It is a person who does not hesitate to live and die, and it is named Yangzhou County. The risk of the mother's responsibility, Taizu thanked him in person, but still did not change. People in the state and county mostly call it loyal, Taizu resigned it in person, and then he smiled. Or asked, Taizu said: 'My family is accustomed to business and travel, so I know where the benefits are since I was a child...... Those who rob the camp with thirty horsemen, obstruct our way, and infiltrate the army with a few people, know that the merit is there. When I act, I forget my life when I see small profits, and I don't hesitate to do big things! How harsh, how praised? And so he acts. - "New Yanshu". Volume I. Emperor Taizu Wu Benji
