The next day, it was another tragic battle, and Xianbei seemed to finally be unable to withstand the strong attack of Xiang Ao's army, and was defeated, bypassing Wolf Juxu Mountain and retreating north.

Xiang Ao's army did not pursue, but directly climbed the mountain and sacrificed heaven and earth.

The army of Xiang Ao's Northern Expedition has always been watched by the people of the world. Seal the wolf Juxu, erect a monument to worship, and spread all over the world in a few days.

There was a great earthquake in the world, and the previous gossip against Xiang Ao disappeared without a trace in an instant. Even the previous rumors of Xiang Ao's brutality have quieted down.

"Lord, Xiang Ao's battle has won the hearts of the people." Guo Jia sighed, and said helplessly: "I don't want us to help Xiang Ao." ”

Cao Cao also sighed lightly, then rubbed his face, and said indifferently: "It's okay, this plan is to relieve the siege of Chen Guo." No matter how Xiang Ao wins the hearts of the people, he will be slowly washed away by time. ”

"As long as my Chen Guo can support it for a few years, Xiang Ao's great achievements will slowly be forgotten by the world."

"But..."Cao Cao admired a little, and said with some regret: "But this king is indeed not wrong at the beginning, King Yan is indeed a person who can stabilize the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty." It's a pity that the Han family is dead now. ”

Guo Jiashen nodded approvingly. Whether it is for a general or a king, there is only Xiang Ao who can cripple the nomadic herds in Northern Xinjiang, except for General Huo Quai, who is sick in the Western Han Dynasty.

More than a dozen people in Cao Cao's study bowed their heads with admiration. Cao Cao was not at all uneasy, if such a hero was not admired by everyone, then Cao Cao would not dare to use the military generals under his command again.

"Don't be envious, everyone." Cao Cao smiled lightly and said: "When you dominate the world in the future, this king will definitely lead you to enter the hinterland of Xianbei again, climb the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and divide the territory south of the Wolf Juxu Mountain into the territory of the Chen State." ”

Cao Cao's words made the courtiers a little excited, especially the generals.

"Wen Ruo, tell you about the current situation, what should we do after Xiang Ao withdraws his army from Xianbei."

"No!" Xun Yu made a move, stood up and said with a straight face: "Xiang Ao has temporarily focused all his attention on the land of Northern Xinjiang, and the army of the Yan Kingdom has also withdrawn from Henan, the land of Hongnong. It really relieved the lord for a while. ”

"But Liu Bei is a person who occupies the east of Luoyang, guards the army, and is eyeing Luoyang, and his ambitions are not small."

"After Sun Ce of Wu stabilized Jingnan, he made great efforts and was ready to move in the Jiangxia area, but the scouts have not yet discovered Sun Ce's intentions."

Xiahoudun patted him fiercely, and said angrily: "Liu Bei, the villain, has not stabilized Yizhou, so he has ambitions for Si Li. ”

Guo Jia, who had recovered a lot, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and persuaded him unconcernedly: "Yuan let the general not be in a hurry." The lord's biggest enemy now is Xiang Ao. ”

"Liu Bei's occupation of Hongnong couldn't be better. After Xiang Ao returns to Jizhou, he will inevitably prepare to wave his army south again. Guo Jia smiled with some disdain: "Liu Bei is stationed in Hongnong at this time, isn't it possible to share some pressure on the lord?" ”

When everyone in the study heard this, they nodded suddenly.

"But don't underestimate Liu Bei." Cao Cao reminded him: "Liu Bei's dispatch of troops to Hongnong must be based on Zhuge Liang's strategy. ”

"This move can not only expand Liu Bei's power, but also consider the truth of the death of the Dao lips and teeth." Cao Cao smiled faintly and said: "If the Chen State is destroyed by Xiang Ao, the situation of Xiang Ao dominating the world is already clear. ”

“

Liu Bei rushed around, and finally occupied such a large territory, so he was naturally unwilling to give up easily. ”

Xun You nodded beside him and said: "What the lord said is true, but judging from the current situation, the minister thinks that the lord is more wary of Sun Ce." ”

"The world knows the difficulty of Shu Road, and Sun Ce's naval army is invincible, but if you want to go west to Yizhou, you are also powerless."

"Sun Ce Xiang Ao expanded his power, and there were only Yuzhou of the lord and Jingbei of Liu Bei."

When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "Lord, what if Jia manages to help Sun Ce occupy the entire Jingzhou?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, his face changed several times, one moment frightened, and the other excited.

"This is a dangerous move!" Xun Yu frowned, and said with some uneasiness: "Let Sun Ce send troops to Jingbei to naturally contain Liu Bei, but in this way, is the pressure on the lord too great?" ”

Guo Jia stood up excitedly and said quickly: "The land has been changed!" ”

"The lord proposed an alliance to help Sun Ce occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou with Jiujiang County of Yangzhou as a reward."

"Sun Ce is not stupid, will he agree?"

Guo Jia looked at the group of colleagues and Cao Cao who were a little skeptical, and suddenly said lightly: "Since ancient times, Jingzhou has been a battleground for soldiers, and Sun Ce doesn't want to give up." ”

"The lord will write to Liu Bei again and fight Xiang Ao again." Guo Jia said with a determined face: "Xiang Ao must also be able to see the lord and Liu Bei, which is stronger and which is weak, if Liu Bei sends troops to the Northern Expedition again, and happens to meet Sun Ce to attack Jingbei, what does the lord think Xiang Ao will do?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and the danger was a little more dangerous, but if he could lead Xiang Ao's army westward and Jingzhou became chaotic again, he didn't have the opportunity to plot against Jizhou.

Cao Cao planned, and the other princes were naturally not idle, and mutual calculations were the norm.

At this time, Tuoba Liwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, for the sake of this play, tens of thousands of elite cavalry were lost, and the minister felt that it was not worth it."

Tuoba Liwei looked at Tuoba Desert Khan, who was a little displeased, and said with a light smile: "Does Khan have statistical casualties?" ”

Tuoba Desert Khan shook his head in astonishment, looking at his father inexplicably.

Tuoba Liwei handed the statistical book to Tuoba Desert Khan, and chuckled: "In the next battle of Wolf Juxu Mountain, the total casualties on both sides are only 50,000. ”

"Even if the Wutuoba Department occupies most of the troops, but in this way, the Wutuoba Department still has 70,000 or 80,000 troops left." Tuoba Liwei smiled triumphantly: "Khan Er thinks that seventy or eighty thousand elites can subdue Xianbei after Xiang Ao leaves?" ”

Desert Khan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Seventy or eighty thousand? I'm afraid it's still a bit lacking. There are tens of thousands of Yan troops on Wolf Juxu Mountain. Father didn't think that the Xianbei tribes would send the elite of the tribe to encircle and suppress the Yan army. ”

"Naturally, it's impossible, but the leaders of the various departments are not very good." Tuobali said lightly: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to talk to Xiang Ao?" ”

"Father means that the time has come?"

Tuoba Li nodded slightly, and said confidently: "Does Khan'er dare to bring a message to King Yan for his father?" ”

"Why don't you dare!" Tuoba Desert Khan said confidently: "The Han people are all self-proclaimed gentlemen, and the two armies will not fight each other, but King Yan is a person of status, so naturally there will be no way to do it." ”

"That's natural, but this time Khan Er went, it's better to be secret, and not let the rest of the Xianbei tribes find out."

Tuoba Desert Khan was slightly stunned, and then nodded clearly.

Wolf Juxu Mountain.

"The foreign minister Tuoba Desert Khan has seen the Yan King."

"Minister?" Xiang Ao was a little surprised, and said calmly: "I don't know what the warriors are doing this time?" Desert Khan fought with this king in front of the battle before, but it still makes this king remember. ”

"The general is fighting, it is not the fault of the war, and I ask King Yan to forgive me."

Xiang Ao was slightly stunned: Will these classic words still be used? Xiang Ao became more and more interested.

"I don't know General Desert Khan..."

"Accept the entrustment of the foreign minister's father, and send a secret letter to King Yan." Tuoba Desert Khan respectfully handed the secret letter in his hand to Xiang Ao.

Xiang Ao opened the secret letter and looked at it casually, but his eyes narrowed into a line.

"What a Tuoba King, what a Tuoba Liwei!" Xiang Ao said with a dark face, and looked at Tuoba Desert Khan fiercely: "Do you really think that this king will not behead you?" ”

"If you behead the foreign minister, you can let King Yan vent his anger, and the foreign minister is willing to die in order to preserve the fresh bloodline!"

Looking at Tuoba Desert Khan, who seemed to be crawling on the ground in fear, Xiang Ao's eyes became gloomy.

Xiang Ao pondered for a moment, his face became soft, and said: "Desert Khan doesn't have to be like this, get up, this king said casually." ”

"King Xie Yan's grace of not killing."

"Go back and tell King Tuoba, and this king will admit it."

Tuoba Desert Khan's face was overjoyed, and he looked very excited and said, "King Yan rest assured, the foreign minister will definitely bring it." ”

Xu Shu looked at Tuoba Desert Khan's expression, and was a little puzzled: "Lord, what does Tuoba mean?" ”

Xiang Ao didn't answer, chuckled and handed the secret letter in his hand to Xu Shu.

"It seems that it is indeed as the lord said, Tuoba Liwei is a person, and he is really good." Xu Shu frowned, and asked with some anxiety: "Does the lord really want to agree?" If this is the case, I am afraid that the northern Xinjiang will not be peaceful again in the future. ”

"It's okay!" Xiang Ao squinted his eyes and replied casually: "If Guorang can lead Fuyu to send troops to the northern Xinjiang, the struggle between Xianbei and Fuyu is not so simple. ”

"Let Xianbei be unified!" Xiang Ao said fiercely: "Compared with the Xianbei tribes that are independent, if Xianbei can establish a dynasty, it will be an opportunity for this king to completely destroy Xianbei." ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he was stunned for a while, and at the same time, he admired his lord's courage more and more in his heart.

If Xianbei is unified, there is a chance for the Yan Kingdom to annihilate Xianbei in one fell swoop. But the unification of Xianbei is also a big hidden danger for Yan Guo.

"Since the sacrificial monument has been completed, Yuan Zhi will arrange the matter of returning to the dynasty."

"No!" Xu Shu was still a little uneasy in his heart, and hugged his fists and took his life.

At this point, at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, without the knowledge of the Xianbei tribe army, Xiang Ao's army quietly changed the direction of the march.

The seemingly peaceful Wolf Juxu Mountain, after a few days, will set off another bloody storm.

After this battle, even if the Tuoba Department unified Xianbei, within more than ten years, Xianbei may not be able to become a threat to the Yan State. Not to mention the husband in the east.

This expedition to northern Xinjiang is the shortest time and the greatest result of the former Qin so far. In less than half a year, Xiang Ao was named Wolf Juxu and became famous all over the world again.

After Xiang Ao and Tuoba Liwei conspired with the rest of the Xianbei tribes, when they returned to the Yan Kingdom, it was already winter, and even if Xiang Ao wanted to fight again, he had to consider the mood of the soldiers and civilians of the Yan Kingdom.
