The Tuhuts did not directly cross the Wang River, nor did they directly attack Baolan to the east, but stayed on the edge of the Wang River, and they only got some weapons and armor staff delivered by Chen Guo, and they were also very cautious about how to cross the Wang River. The area they went south towards, because of the Tuoba clan and the Murong clan, it was difficult to reach the edge of the Wang River, and unlike Chen Guo, they were able to send fine works whose identities could not be distinguished, and the people sent by Chen Guo to lead them were not fully trusted, even if they had the tools to cross the river, they did not have them, waiting for Chen Guo to prepare them for them.

On the first day they were by the river King, and the next day they were still by the river King.

They went east and south, and rode in all directions, and several of them crossed the Wang River, where a thousand Dongxia cavalry were waiting for them.

After several battles, these rangers were almost completely wiped out, and they were unable to cast their nets at all, and naturally they could not bring back reliable information and geography.

As soon as the morning dawned, several mighty Dongxia cavalry escorted a dozen or so prisoners and returned to the county government majestically.

The people were waiting on the road, and they couldn't tell whether they were from Chen Guo or not, and they said that they were strange, but they just thought that Dongxia had once again made Chen Guo lose the battle.

They felt peculiar, and the Dongxia soldiers also felt peculiar.

These people are also somewhat different from the Mamzhat in the east.

There are not many people in the Crozi tribe itself, and most of them are the Mamzarts who live in the eastern steppes, and they pay a lot of attention to their lives, but now these people are short and stout, with big buttocks and looped legs, and the smell of fish on their bodies is heavy, and their hair is like the tail of a horse with dysentery stained with dung, dirty and messy, and their faces are also hideous, and they have a lot of beards, because the north is cold, and their robes are wide and generous, and they don't even look like horse clothes.

As soon as they arrived at the county seat, Zhao Guo immediately found the soldiers of the Mengzat tribe to interrogate them, hoping to find out the truth of the northern army through them.

There were no decent figures among these rangers, and they couldn't calculate how many troops they had on their side.

Trials and trials were carried out only through them, and only through them could they know some of the characters, their leaders, their khans, their national teachers, and the rest of them probably did not ask anything, as if they themselves had not come out to fight, but had been driven by people blindfolded with black cloths.

But it's not entirely worthless. Through these captives, the Eastern Xia side found out that there were now disputes within their tribes, disputes over marching to the east and south, and disputes over the attitude of the Eastern Xia and the degree of use of troops, and the disputes were still relatively serious.

When the news came to Dia Bird, Dia Bird was not surprised at all.

Don't talk about Tuhute, that is, Dongxia, joined the war against Chen State, and also faced various opinions, but the opinions of the Tuhut people were not discussed clearly before sending troops, and now they are still expanding the discussion when they go to the Wang River, which can only explain one problem, Chen Guo bought them to give rich benefits, they couldn't stand it, and immediately sent troops, and now when they came to the front, they began to discuss how to fight, how to fight, and to what extent.

However, Diao was more interested in the national teacher of Tuhut.

Legend has it that their national teacher has clairvoyance and ears to the wind, calling for wind and rain, and has great magical powers, helping Jin Liuzhen to rise in Mobei, and there is no omission, Dia Niao doesn't know whether the current national teacher is still the national teacher of the year, what impact can it have, and what opinions will it have on the war.

The results were not unexpected.

Jin Liuzhen has been dead for many years, Tuhut has been in internal disputes for many years, and the national teacher of the year has also become ancient, and the current national teacher is the son of the national teacher of the year.

I remember that Zhao Yiru said that there was a courtier who was disrespectful and looked like a Yongren in the tent of Tiebazhen Khan, so Dia Niao called Zhao Yiru and asked him about the situation at that time.

Zhao Yiru vetoed that it was their national teacher, saying: "It doesn't look like it at all." This Yongren is not young, has no beard, and has a sharp voice, like a eunuch. ”

Dia Bird nodded, indicating that he understood.

Also, the national teacher has lived in Mobei for many years and has a son, and his son has grown up in Mobei since he was a child, so how can he maintain the clothes of the Yong family?

The night before, he said that Zhao Yiru would send an envoy again, because the captives were escorted to the county seat overnight, and there was news that the Tuhut tribe was going to hold a meeting on the side of the Wang River, anyway, the Tuhut people themselves were delaying time, and Dia Niao did not urge Zhao Yiru to go, and he was on the side and said: "This time you go again, you have to find out who is in the big tent, understand their ministers, and see who has the greatest opinion of our Dongxia, and who is likely to stand on our side of Dongxia." ”

Soon, he asked in return, "Do you know how to see it?" ”

Zhao Yiru really doesn't know.

Diaoth said, "Naturally, when it comes to dissecting the pros and cons, listen to how these people speak to their king, and what tendencies are in their words. And you also have to get into the habit of opening your mouth to contradict someone, asking who this person is before you talk to them, first giving them their name, calling them out, and then talking to them. These are the first things that an envoy does, not only to appear polite, but also to know who he is, what opinions he has, and when he is out of their royal tent, you can also let your men meet him privately. The nomads are not like us in the Central Plains, who will see the important enemy envoys in the pavilion and do not let them move, and if you bring a few soldiers of the Mengzat tribe, you can completely move in private. You are an envoy, the pros and cons you say, their monarchs and ministers are wary, if you can find someone who can help you deliver the message, it will be much easier. ”

Zhao Yiru was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him and said, "It's not the king's guidance, the minister really doesn't know." ”

Dia Bird sighed and asked him, "How are you preparing?" Spend some gold and silver, see what can be bought, if Lingwu can't buy it, take gold, buy a national disaster, buy a king, buy a minister, then it's easy, go to the other party's camp, make a private gift for a meeting, don't be stingy. ”

The current atmosphere in Dongxia is good, and these counselors are not famous families, Zhao Yiru is indeed lacking in this, and immediately touched the bypass.

Zhao Yiru fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "The last time I went, a minister privately asked me if the king had the blood of Mengzat blood, and I didn't think deeply about it at that time. In retrospect, he deliberately approached me. So I'll go this time and find a way to get in touch with him privately? ”

Dia Bird nodded and asked, "Lone didn't go, I don't know the specific situation, you have to make your own decision." You know, the more you don't want to fight, the tougher your tone will be, and everyone is bargaining. And you also know that Chen Guo was surrounded by 300,000 people by us, and the food was also cut off, so how many days can he struggle? They followed Chen Guo to beat us, except for a little bit of small profit in front of us, is there much we can give them? Tuoba Pass is such a large grassland is worth a lot, isn't it better than Chen Guo giving him some wealth? With the Tuoba Pass, it is possible for the Tuhut people to trade directly with Jingkang, so wouldn't there be grain? Will there be copper and iron? Remember, only things that are not our Dongxia do not need to hesitate to go out. You just give Chen Zhou to him, and after you come back, the people of Dongxia will not feel that you have lost your power and humiliated the country. ”

Zhao Yiru nodded again.

Diao said: "You actually don't have the ability to be an envoy to foreign countries, last time it was indeed your problem, but this time, Lone sent you again, why is this?" ”

He didn't wait for Zhao Yiru to answer, so he told: "I hope that you can go from being incompetent to being competent, rather than telling others that Zhao Yiru is not an envoy, and from now on whenever there is an envoy, you will be excluded, and it will be unfavorable to your future at that time, I hope you will learn a lesson this time." Let Gu also follow the light, and in the future, it will be said that Zhao Yiru's first mission failed, and the king Dia Niao still insisted on letting him make an envoy, but the second mission ......" He asked rhetorically: "You understand, right?" This time you went on an envoy, no matter what Tuhute decided in the end, after listening to the truth and truth, knowing who was in the heart of Dongxia, knowing the weaknesses of the other party, and what kind of results the other party would get in the end, you would be successful. ”

Zhao Yiru said: "The minister dies ......"

Dia Bird immediately interrupted and said: "The envoy is most taboo to die, and one death is a great defeat, and the road to communication is cut off." Anyone can say that they would rather die, but the envoy cannot. When you see Wang Ben going abroad, he has made the impossible possible, when will he die to repay him? ”

He waved his hand and asked Zhao Yiru to retire.

Zhao Yiru hurriedly said: "Without further ado, it's time for me to go, right?" ”

Diaobird shook his head.

The messenger shall join the army.

Diao-bird demanded, "You can take the gold and go to the king's river, but you can't go until you think the time has come, and then you can cross the river." ”

Zhao Yiru is gone.

Dia Niao sat down and took a pen to write a letter to Zhang Huaiyu.

Tuoba Heiyun has already sent an army in a vain attempt to break through from Shangjun, and now several days have passed, and it is very likely that Chen Guohan's side will learn of his news, and it is very likely that he will not come to Lingwu and open up Shangjun from the upper reaches of the Wang River.

This is not entirely unfounded.

First of all, the Tuhut did not face east, but stationed on the edge of the Wang River, and the target was supposed to be Lingwu.

More than 100,000 Tuhut people came to attack Lingwu, if Tuoba Weiwei mobilized more than 100,000 people, he also came to attack Lingwu, and 200,000 troops could line up from Lingwu to Wanghe Beach, which is unlikely, after all, the two of them have no friendly foundation, and the two sides are also deeply wary, if Tuhut people want to fight Lingwu, Tuoba Weiwei will give him a partial army like a guide at most, and he will never squeeze over himself, otherwise, the two of them will have friction, and even break up after fighting themselves, and fight each other.

With the current situation of Chen Guo, Tuoba Weiwei must not be so stupid.

It is said that Tuoba Weiwei attacked Lingwu, and the Tuhut people attacked Baolan, and the two sides were like two pincers, and it was their most powerful counterattack to turn around and attack the Dongxia army that besieged Tuoba Heiyun.

But the question is, will the Tuhut people be willing to listen to his tuowei dispatch?

Are the Tuhuts wary of him?

Do the Turks understand the situation on the battlefield?

Do you want to invite profit at both ends?

This is beyond Tuoba's control.

Tuoba Weiwei was able to let the Tuhuts attack him, which was already very remarkable, and he couldn't do it if he wanted everything to go well on the battlefield. He let the army cross the river from the upper reaches of the Wang River, not like the army that simply avoided the Dongxia and refused him to cross the river, but the dispute between the two sides where you fight and where I fight has already begun, and they are making preparations with both hands.

Directly fighting Lingwu, the new army of 200,000 joined, the outcome is unpredictable, and Chen Guo has the possibility of reversing.

Hitting the county to respond to Tuoba Heiyun's retreat means that Chen Guo has already lost, but fortunately, he has a big grasp.

If the first condition doesn't go well, they can't afford to put it off, and they will definitely go to the county to win time.

In the past few days, the generals have felt that Dia Bird is taking risks, making desperate bets, and being gamblers, otherwise, how many soldiers can be drawn, why not increase the strength of Lingwu?

In fact, Dia Bird and they are not thinking about the same level, they are thinking about strategy, and they have already taken into account the worst plans.

Both Lingwu and Bao Lan may be the target of the enemy, and he doesn't know where to transfer his troops and stay where they are, once the situation deteriorates, which one is in danger, which one to support, but it will be the best choice.

Now that the Tuhuts were going to hold a meeting on the banks of the Wang River, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He judged that the Tuoba clan would not wait any longer, and when the result was out, he would not be able to wait to attack Shangjun first, so he had to remind Zhang Huaiyu, and also tell him how many troops Chen would use, because as a general, he might not be able to perceive this delicate relationship.
