If Qin Fei knew all this truth, he would definitely feel very ridiculous. But the serious demon army is not ambiguous at all, under the leadership of Khan Tuoba Hong, the three thousand people team quickly organized, a large number of grain and grass materials armed the demon warriors to the teeth, they were divided into three directions to decisively march towards Qin Fei's area, countless rangers are all over the grassland and the junction of the northern frontier, trying to find out the 'non-existent' northern Xinjiang ambush army.

And the unusual movement of the demon army fell in the eyes of the spies of the Northern Frontier Army. They didn't dare to slack off, and immediately fed back this military situation to the Yan Wangfu.

The meeting hall of King Yan's Mansion was crowded with generals from the north of Xinjiang, King Yan sat in the center, and the generals of all sizes stood according to their ranks, respectfully.

"Tuoba Hong's mobilization of 30,000 troops to the border of China's northern Xinjiang is the largest provocation in the past two years. What exactly is his purpose for going to war? King Yan said slowly.

The subordinate generals talked a lot, but they didn't have a clue. They thought about it, and they couldn't guess that Tuoba Hong's reaction was so strong, just because the demon clan miscalculated.

Shi Xingliu is the general of the eighth town, and the demon clan is approaching his defense area, and the eighth town has a total of 8,000 officers and soldiers, which is almost four times the size of his own demon army, which is simply not enough for Tuoba Hong to drink a pot. Shi Xingliu was also a little worried, in case Tuoba Hong's goal was really himself, then once there was any mistake in the eighth town, as a general, he would not be able to escape the leadership responsibility.

"King Yan, the demons are cunning and cruel, and they can't be estimated according to common sense. Since Tuoba Hong brought 30,000 troops and wanted to compete with our northern Xinjiang army, then we might as well give him a dismount, frustrate his spirit at the beginning of spring, and ensure the safety of the border for a year. Shi Xingliu walked out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "The last general thinks that it is better to mobilize the military horses of the eight towns and attack head-on, and if you are lucky, you may be able to capture Tuoba Hong alive." ”

King Yan shook his head slowly: "This king has never relied on luck to fight. Plan before you act! The mobilization of officers and soldiers in the eight towns is as high as 70,000 people, and our marching and fighting are different from the demons, counting the logistics and supply baggage, the transfer of manpower before and after will exceed 150,000. Rushing to mobilize and coming prepared with the demons are two completely different concepts. Suffered a defeat, then ......"

King Yan didn't say anything, but all the generals knew what he meant. In recent years, large-scale battles have rarely broken out between the demons and northern Xinjiang, and generally you have a few hundred thousand people, and I have a thousand and eight hundred people, and everyone has a small fight. Tuoba Hong was because he wanted to preserve his strength and eliminate his compatriot Tuoba Lie as soon as possible, and he was unwilling to spend his strength on the Northern Frontier Army. And King Yan can't afford to consume it, his ambition is well known, once there is a large-scale battle in the northern Xinjiang, Emperor Chu will be happy to see Tuoba Hong and Tuoba Lie consume most of King Yan's military strength. In that case, the Northern Frontier Army will no longer be a big threat to the imperial court!

The generals whispered again, but they still couldn't figure it out. Large-scale battle, King Yan is unwilling to fight, but the 30,000 army of the demon clan Chen Bing border is a fact, we can't not use swords and guns, where the demon clan goes, we will retreat to where it goes. Such a policy of non-resistance will be scolded to death by the people of the world, and at the same time, it will also give the imperial court a reason to squeeze the northern Xinjiang army.

Shi Xingliu looked at King Yan's father and son, he was the first to bear the brunt of the eighth town, and he naturally didn't want to lose.

Since Chu Yang was taught by his father, he has also become a little older, and he easily does not express his opinions. Now seeing that the generals couldn't discuss the essentials, he was also a little impatient, walked out quickly, and said loudly: "Father, our eighth town official army is definitely not enough to fight against Tuoba Hong. Now that the demon army is on the border, Yu Li, why don't we send a messenger over first to ask, what does Tuoba Hong mean? If he wants to fight, our Northern Frontier Army will not be outdone, and will fight. ”

Shi Xingliu said loudly: "If he wants to fight, he will fight, and our brothers in the Northern Xinjiang Army are ......."

King Yan waved his hand: "Don't come to this set, it's not a pre-war mobilization now, and you don't need to shout." ”

With that, King Yan stood up, walked to the wall with the map of the northern frontier with his hands on his back, and looked at the map that was almost the size of an entire wall, and the distribution of forces between the enemy and the enemy was marked in red and green. He is a battle-hardened veteran, and when these colors fall in his eyes, he can immediately reflect the scene of thousands of troops in his mind.

He really couldn't guess Tuoba Hong's intentions, but he was not willing to use his son's opinion to send someone over to ask? King Yan had never shown weakness like this. It's just that the situation in the imperial court is a bit complicated now, the seventh princess of Wu came to the eastern capital to engage the prince, and Qin Fei brought people to northern Xinjiang, which is a clear signal that the imperial court is ready to take action against northern Xinjiang. At this juncture, Tuoba Honglai intervened, which really made the anger in King Yan's heart burn, and he was almost angry.

"Since Tuoba Hong has come all the way to our northern Xinjiang, how can he not give him a dismount?" King Yan didn't look back at his subordinates, but continued to stare at the map, and shouted coldly: "I remember, when this king first came to the northern frontier twenty years ago. The situation in northern Xinjiang is very poor, the demon army is like entering a no-man's land, sometimes, dozens of demon soldiers can chase hundreds of northern Xinjiang officers and soldiers, and dare not face the battle? ”

"At that time, the Northern Xinjiang Army talked about the change of demonic color, as long as the demon army approached, a large number of officers and soldiers sneaked away at night. There are too many excuses to go to Xiaojie during the march and then never return. The army didn't have the confidence to fight the demons, and the common people even heard that the demons were coming, so they brought their families and went to the end of the world. ”

"What changed all that?" King Yan said in a deep voice: "It's this king, I use my three thousand personal soldiers as the basis, fight bravely to kill the enemy in every battle, and lead the army deep into the grassland five times, whether it is against the barbarians or the demons, this king has taken the lead and killed countless enemies." After one battle after another, the Northern Xinjiang Army gradually gained confidence. Later, as long as the demons came, the Northern Frontier Army felt that they were sending military merits! No more officers and soldiers are willing to be deserters, and no one is afraid of the demons. When the common people heard that the demons had arrived, as long as they could see that the Northern Frontier Army was nearby, they would not move. Because, they know, the Northern Frontier Army is the nemesis of the demon race. ”

King Yan's words made the generals bow their heads deeply. Yes, for more than 20 years, King Yan and the Northern Xinjiang Army have been powerful in the north, relying on the prestige of King Yan in the bloody battles back then. It is not without reason that the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang regard King Yan as a god and as their own faith. But now, Tuoba Hong's 30,000 troops and horses are approaching, but the generals of Northern Xinjiang, who have enjoyed a few years of peace, feel embarrassed?

In their minds, they recalled that when they were still small soldiers and junior generals, they followed around King Yan and fought desperately against the demons. Under the necks of their horses were the heads of countless demon generals, and their long knives and battle axes did not know how many demon generals' bodies had been shattered. Could it be that a few years of comfort have made these young generals of the year cringe?

Shi Xingliu grabbed two steps and shouted: "King Yan, if Tuoba Hong dares to come, we will dare to get him." The 8,000 officers and soldiers of the eighth town are willing to be the vanguard and fight to the death with Tuoba Hong. ”

King Yan was a little relieved in his heart, it seemed that his words were not in vain, most of these generals were brought up by themselves by virtue of their military exploits. They used to be good men who killed countless enemies, and many of them were legends who climbed from small soldiers to the position of deputy generals. Now that their blood has been aroused, the next thing is much easier.

King Yan said lightly: "The eighth town is the vanguard? This king thinks no. If we want to fight Tuoba Hong, we will not consume too much strength, we will concentrate our forces and annihilate them separately. I want soldiers and horses from two towns, who else dares to go except the eighth town? ”

The word 'dare' deeply stimulated the enthusiastic generals, and many people rushed to ask for a duel with the demons, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

King Yan's gaze fell on You Long, the first town lord, and said lightly, "Do you dare to go?" ”

You Long patted his chest: "I've never been afraid." ”

King Yan looked at You Long with appreciation, the first town was the cornerstone of his foothold in the northern frontier, and the soldiers here were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. The richness of combat experience, the rigor of training, the sophistication of equipment, and the high quality of the soldiers are all unmatched by other towns. You Long, the chief general of the first town, is also his confidant, proficient in the art of war, and has excellent cultivation. There are 10,000 military horses in the first town, and in the heart of King Yan, these 10,000 people can be worth 20,000 or 30,000 troops of others.

"In the first and eighth towns, this king will bring two thousand elite soldiers, a total of 20,000 people." King Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not hide his killing intent: "I will use these 20,000 people to compete with Tuoba Hong's 30,000 demon iron horses." ”

"Obey the order, and the last general will go back to arrange." You Long hug your fists.

"You can wait." King Yan's gaze moved back to the map, and in the intertwined distribution of friends and foes, there was a disgusting black dot. The location of this point happens to be in the mouth of the surrounding bag formed by Tuoba Hong's 30,000 troops.

"Here are more than a hundred people from the Wolf Tooth Army." Shi Xingliu explained: "Qin Fei and his group of young master soldiers, in such a large-scale battle, are completely a bunch of waste, and they can't count on anything. We can ignore it. ”

King Yan looked at the black dot quietly, as if he wanted to see the flowers. After a long while, he said lightly: "I think it's very interesting, once the battle breaks out, Qin Fei and his group of eldest young masters will be right in the center of the conflict between the two armies. His personal cultivation is already good, but in the battle, it is useless. What are you going to do if we encounter this force in battle? ”

Shi Xing rolled his eyes, and suddenly understood what King Yan meant, and said in a low voice: "Although Qin Fei is brave, his strength is limited, and he is inadvertently involved in a large-scale war in Northern Xinjiang, and martyrdom is inevitable. ”

"Hmm!" King Yan smiled and nodded.
