Ah Jin's brother was much calmer and not too flustered. Without resistance, he was easily arrested by the people of Linrong and handed over to the Linrong County Government.

The two brothers originally heard that Xiang Ao had been an official for the sake of the people for a long time, and they had made meritorious efforts to resist foreign clans before moving to the general of Zhengbei, but they had come to Linrong to see what was going on, but they never thought that the people in Linrong respected Xiang Ao so much, which made Ah Jin and the others look sideways.

Not to mention how Linrong Taishou punished A Jin and the others at this time, Xiang Ao had already led his troops to break through to the surrendered city and fight with Gao Shun's infantry at this time. And in the surrendered city Xianbei is not a mediocre person, although Xianbei is not good at defending the city, but it is also according to the Han people to follow the example, in the surrendered city placed a lot of arrow towers, under the city gate is to refuse horses.

Originally, Xiang Ao only planned to come and join forces with Gao Shun to take the surrendered city by himself, but Xu Fu asked to follow him because he had never seen a city battle. Xiang Ao was only Xu Fu was born extraordinary, but the way to grow up was still to be seen in actual combat, so he took Xu Fu with him.

The surrendered city is located in the north of the Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties, roughly in the Mobei grassland area in the northeast of Gaoque Pass in Shuofang County, and was built in the former Wu Emperor Liu Che Yuanfeng to accept the surrender of the Xiongnu Zuo Daduwei. The Gobi Desert is the mainstay, but the Altai Mountains extend here, generating many Gobi oases, so the Western Han Dynasty built cities here.

The surrendered city was built outside the fortress, forming a lonely city, sometimes occupied by the Han and Hungarian sides, the Western Han Dynasty Yuan Emperor Liu Zheng Jianzhao ordered more than 10,000 cavalry to send Hu Han Evil Shan Yu out of the fortress, and left the guard Shan Yu to help quell the civil strife. With the westward migration of Zhizhi Shan Yu, the Xiongnu group led by Hu Han Evil Shan Yu led the troops to return to Shan Yuting, and the internal troubles of the Xiongnu were decided.

After that, to Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu, the Xiongnu generations to the Han Dynasty vassals, the Han Dynasty in the northern Xinjiang without war.

So far, the Eastern Han Dynasty has shown weakness, not only has the surrendered city been occupied by Xianbei all the year round, but even the land of Shuofang Wuyuan is also a place where Xianbei is raging. The surrendered city was completely out of the control of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At this time, in the bare mountain col thirty miles south of the surrendered city, thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered here.

"My lord, I haven't stopped listening to the military situation of the surrendered city for nearly a month." At this time, in the central tent of the camp, Xiang Ao and the others were looking at a large map together. Jiang Yanzheng pointed to the map and told the information for everyone: "Most of the herdsmen in the surrendered city are Suo heads, and a few days ago, for some reason, the leader of his tribe, Tuoba Lin, rushed back to the surrendered city in a panic. ”

Since Xiang Ao moved to the north general and enjoyed the right to open the government, all his subordinates before Xiang Ao recognized Xiang Ao as the main and were willing to saddle for Xiang Ao.

"At this time, there are about 8,000 soldiers and horses in the surrendered city, all of them are cavalry, although Xianbei is not good at defending the city, but there are many people who are good at shooting in Xianbei, if it is a strong attack, I am afraid that the loss is not small." Jiang Yan pointed out three places near the surrendered city: "There are three small tribes of Xianbei in these three places that have been roaming, and each tribe has about four or five thousand cavalry, and they defend each other with the surrendered city. If you rush to the aid of the surrendered city, you can reach it in less than half a day. ”

"Can you find out about the temperament of this person in Tuoba?" Xiang Ao frowned and asked. Although the surrendered city is located in the mountains, but there are mountains and no forests in the Yinshan Mountains, which is more suitable for cavalry combat, and Xianbei are all cavalry, according to the above military situation, Xiang Ao and others want to attack the city It seems that the troops are insufficient.

"Although Tuoba is not as majestic as Sandalwood and Huai, he is also in good order to govern the western Xianbei, and the western Xianbei is becoming stronger and stronger." Xiang Ao bowed his head slightly and recalled: "This person doesn't like women, and he is conceited of martial arts. The army is still managed, and the rewards and punishments are clear. The political affairs are not too harsh on the many tribes of Xianbei in the west, but after the fall of Tanshi Huai's life, this person is not convinced by Helianji. ”

"However, because the Yuwen clan of the eastern king of Xianbei is extremely dissatisfied, the last general once heard the gossip that the eastern Xianbei Yuwen clan has objections."

"Oh? Yuwenbu's anti-intentions are actually spread on the trail? Xu Fu was very interested when he heard this, although this trip was to go with Xiang Ao to see and see the siege battle, but most of his attention was indeed on how to use vertical and horizontal tactics to disrupt Xianbei.

"It's only a little rumored, and the last general is not very sure."

"Hmm!" Xu Fu snorted in a low voice and continued: "Leave this matter aside for the time being, and talk about it after it is confirmed." I wonder if General Jiang has noticed any strange or special features in the terrain near the surrendered city? ”

"Terrain?" Jiang Yan rubbed his chin and lowered his head in contemplation, and raised his head for a moment: "There are many plateaus and wastelands here, even in the mountains, it is very easy to get a glimpse of the whole picture, the only special thing is that the height difference in the north of the surrendered city is very large, and it is hundreds of zhang high. ”

"So it seems that there is only a strong attack?" Xiang Ao is also extremely distressed, if it is attacked, I don't know how many soldiers will die in the elite cultivated for several years.

"If you attack strongly, you will attack, the lord doesn't need to worry, Ah Meng only needs to bring five hundred warriors in the army to break through his gate." Seeing this, Jiao Meng let out words in a loud voice beside him.

"The general thought that Ah Meng could break the city alone, but unexpectedly, Ah Meng had to bring five hundred warriors to do so!" Xiang Ao glared at Jiao Meng beside him. When Jiao Meng heard this, he didn't say more. The rest of the crowd smiled.

"If you storm Zhongda, can you be sure to break through the city gate? How long does it take? ”

"My lord, if the archers cooperate with the strong attack, they will have eight points to break the city within half a day, but there will be casualties... I'm afraid it's not low. ”

"That being the case, Ah Yan is sending troops to investigate, especially the larger Xianbei three near the surrendered city. As for the attack on the surrendered city, he would have consulted with the military advisor again. ”

"No!" And they all bowed and walked away.

At this time, the city was surrendered.

"King, since the death of Tanshi Huaishan at the hands of the Han people a few years ago, many tribes in the north have faintly rebelled against the intention of the Tanshi Huai Xianbei Alliance, and now he and Lian Shan Yu can't convince the public, will my Xianbei fall into civil strife again?" Tuoba Lin sat down, and the burly man said worriedly.

"Hey... At the beginning, when Tanshi Huai Shan Yu was in power, this king saw that Yuwen was not subservient, and Shan Yu was still able to suppress Yuwen Mohuai. Now that he is alone in fate, and even in his singleness, he has no intention of political affairs, and he has no authority to obey the public, and it is only a matter of time before I am divided. Tuoba Lin looked up at the roof, as if he could see the sky through the stone roof: "Presumably Xianbei is in civil strife, and this king is more worried about Xiang Ao." Oh no, at this time, it should be Xiang Ao, the protector of the northern frontier and the general of the expedition to the north. ”

Tuoba Lin straightened his body and looked at the people below: "Although this person has no great enmity with Xianbei, and he is also kind and good to the people under his rule, his ambition is also not small. It was only before the year that I cut my Xianbei Shan Yu, and now I have started my western Xianbei thoughts. ”

"Ahh "The state monster is here again?" As soon as Tuoba Lin said such information, many people sat down and panicked.

"What a system!" Tuoba Lin shouted: "A few days ago, I robbed the military situation of the state, and at this time, the so-called general of Zhengbei should be dozens of miles away from the city of my surrender, but the specific location has not been discovered. ”

Tuoba Lin's big shout did make everyone quiet a lot, but when he learned that Xiang Ao was near the outside of the city, everyone buzzed below, and Tuoba Lin could only sigh in his heart when he saw this. After stopping the commotion, he ordered the city to be defended, and sent people to inform the tribes cruising outside the city to prepare for help. Everyone left in a hurry with uneasiness, and even many people's eyes flashed.

Because he didn't know Xiang Ao's military situation, Tuoba Lin was also extremely worried, and even ordered someone to go to Danhan Mountain for help. However, before Tuoba sent scouts, Xiang Ao had ordered Jiang Yan to send a large number of scouts to seal all the east of the surrendered city, and even ordered elite scouts to make an appointment to cross Yin Mountain to block the news.

When Xiang Ao moved to the north and was ordered to establish the Northern Regions Protectorate, he had already sent people to contact Yanmen Lu Bu and Youzhou Gongsun Zan to inform them of the plot against Xianbei in the west.

Although Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty authorized Xiang Ao to supervise the northern Xinjiang to resist the rights of foreign tribes, many clans in the Han Dynasty now do not let their strength be damaged, such as Xiang Ao, most of these orders will be ordered not to help, and they will be perfunctory.

Fortunately, Xiang Ao had a close relationship with Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan, and he also had great trust in Xiang Ao's ability to lead troops, so he sent troops to Xianbei to assist Xiang Ao.

"Captain Lu, although His Majesty has ordered us to obey the orders of the general of Zhengbei in the war, it is really not cost-effective for us to wait for merit, not to mention increase casualties. Besides, we are not his direct subordinates, so why should we obey him? ”

At this time, Lu Bu was leading more than 1,000 people to cruise north of Yanmen, near Danhan Mountain. The army next to him was extremely dissatisfied with the dispatch of troops. Lu Bu was not angry when he heard this, and immediately looked to the west and muttered in a low voice.

"The ability of the general to conquer the north, I can't wait!" Lu Bu raised his head: "Ah Lian, you have been with me for several years, and you are only who Bu Nai." There are many heroes in the world, and there are only a few people who can enter the eyes of Debu. And the general of the expedition to the north, the cloth is full of admiration. ”

"But the Captain..."

Lu Bu waved his hand to interrupt Cheng Lian's words: "If he has a fate to see him in the future, Ah Lian will know that it is unrighteous to say more at this time." ”

"Ah Xu, send more scouts to explore, and don't let go of any Xianbei scouts from the west. Ah Lian, the whole army was ordered, ready to attack the Xianbei tribe in the north. ”

"No!" When the two saw Lu Bu giving a military order, they didn't say anything more and took the order away.

Lu Bu suddenly tightened his horse's belly and rushed towards the front of the army. "Huh..."Lu Bu immediately stood in front of the army, pointing at the north with Fang Tianhalberd in his hand and shouting: "Sons, let the Xianbei people see the majesty of our Han iron hooves today." Kill! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Lu Bu led more than a thousand cavalry to rush to the north like a pack of wolves.

Not only Lu Bu, but also Gongsun Zan in Yuyang County at this time was also planning to send troops to Xianbei.

"Big brother, why do you have to help General Zhengbei?" On both sides of Gongsun Zhan's side stood his younger brothers, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan. Although the two of them have mediocre abilities, they are indeed extremely considerate of their eldest brothers, and this time Gongsun Zhan promised to help Xiang Ao, which made the two extremely dissatisfied.

It's not that the two of them have a bad relationship with Xiang Ao, but that the two feel that it is extremely difficult for their brother to get mixed into such a realm as a concubine, why should they work for outsiders and waste money.

"Ah Yue, you don't know what kind of hero Xiang Ao is the general of the expedition to the north." Gongsun Zhan was not angry, and replied to the two with a light smile: "Although Xiang Ao, the general of Zhengbei, seems to be a member of the family, but after getting along with this person as a brother, he found that this person is not a family or a nobleman, and even the people of the mountains and wilderness are called it. ”

Gongsun Zhan put his hands behind his back, and slowly paced out of the county office and looked at the west: "But even with this identity, Xiang Ao, the general of Zhengbei, with his own talent, has jumped from a white body to a frontier ambassador in a few years, what do you think this person will be?" ”
