Chapter 41: The Arrival of the Soldiers

"My lord, why don't you gather those routs?" Continuing to hurry, Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, although it has been defeated, it is more or less a combat force, now that Ma Cheng has been breached, it is not easy to capture it again, more people, more chances of winning.

"The courage has been dispersed, and it is not useful to fight a war." Ye Zhao shook his head, if he was given time, he could restore the morale of these defeated troops little by little, but the problem was that what was most lacking now was time.

"It's just that now our army is only 3,000 soldiers, and Li Xing's men and horses are going to rush to Macheng, I'm afraid it will take some time, how to break through?" Qiu Chi looked helpless, he no longer saw any hope of breaking through Ma Cheng.

"I have my own plan." Ye Zhao's face was indifferent, and he couldn't see his expression.

It's a good thing that Sun De and Liu Mao ran away, if Liu Mao falls into the hands of Xianbei people, then things will be difficult to do, although Ma Cheng is no longer under his rule, but if Liu Mao has any three strengths and two weaknesses, who knows if Liu Yan will be angry with himself?

The most important thing now is to take down the horse city first, and then talk about the rest.

After Guangning, it was not far from Macheng, and after an afternoon of rapid marching, Ye Zhao led the army to the area of Danhan Mountain, but did not attack immediately, but set up a camp twenty miles away from Macheng.

Xianbei has a large number of soldiers, and it is not advisable to attack strongly, Ye Zhao is ready to take the two lost levels first.

"Meng Hu." Ye Zhao commanded the soldiers to camp while facing Meng Hu.

"The last general!" Meng Hu rushed out of the crowd and came to Ye Zhao's side.

"You send someone to see if the other sixteen checkpoints are still in the hands of our army, and order the sentinels to divide into ten groups to monitor the movement of Macheng." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice.

Although the two main passes are lost, there are other sixteen gates distributed in the Danhan Mountain, these gates are not as magnificent as the two main passes, but they are all located in the narrow places, a pass is more than a dozen people, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although these passes are not as important as the two passes of the revenge water, but once the main pass is lost, and Lian wants to escape back to the grassland, he can only escape from these sixteen passes.

Ye Zhao was not prepared to let this Xianbei new Shan Yu go back alive this time, since his subordinates didn't want him to live, it would be good to be cheap and kill Xianbei Shan Yu, but it was a great achievement, whether this was a calculation between Xianbei people or not, but for Ye Zhao, this was definitely a qualification!

The relationship between Liu Yan's side, no matter what the reason, wants to get Liu Yan's connections as he expected before, after this incident, Ye Zhao is hopeless, it has nothing to do with the reason, Ma Cheng is prosperous in his own hands, Liu Mao has only been in office for three months, but he was beaten by the Xianbei people and abandoned the city and fled, even for the sake of his son's career and reputation, Liu Yan can no longer be friendly with Ye Zhao, since this is the case, then take this opportunity to make a big merit, so that Liu Yan can not suppress his own merits.

"Whoa!" Meng Hu agreed, turned around and left.

"Guan Hai! Ding Li! Ye Zhao nodded again.

"In!"

Guan Hai and Ding Li took a step forward.

"The two of you take two soldiers and horses to the front of the pass to drown, see how the defenders react, report to me, don't attack the city without authorization, pay attention to send sentry horses to pay attention to the movement of the horse city, once the horse city sends troops, immediately collect the troops, don't love the war." Ye Zhao looked at the two of them solemnly, his troops could not afford to lose.

"Yes!" Guan Hai and Ding Li agreed, ordered two soldiers and horses to set off immediately, and rushed to Guancheng before dark.

After the generals left, Ye Zhao led people to start pre-war deployment in the temporarily settled camp, since Macheng had been breached, now it was necessary to wait for Li Xing's men to arrive.

"Lord, those tribes outside the Saiwai have always been friendly with our army, why don't you send someone to ask Na Dubald and others to lead the troops to fight?" After the generals left, Qiu Chi finally couldn't help but ask.

At the beginning, Ye Zhao defeated Mohan's tribe, the main force was the dwarf tribe, the dabbling tribe has developed well in the past two years, and it should not be a problem to provide Ye Zhao with two thousand soldiers and horses, in addition, whether it is the Xianbei people or the Wuhuan people in the Danhan Mountain area, they have been controlled by Ye Zhao, and each tribe has divided some people and horses, plus the people and horses of the headquarters of the Wuhuan school captain's department, it is possible to gather an army of 10,000 people, and it is completely possible to fight with the elite of the royal court of Helian head-on at that time.

"Two years ago, the dwarf was willing to be sent by me to clean up Na Mohan together, thinking that we had Ma Cheng in our hands, and if Mohan broke through Ma Cheng, it would be impossible for the Dget tribe to rise, so for their own interests, Di Bald must also help me." Ye Zhao shook his head, looked at Qiu Chi and said, "Now what capital do we have that is worthy of him not hesitating to confront the royal court?" Now the tribe is still a big tribe in the area of Danhan Mountain, if Macheng is in my hands, I can still ask him for soldiers and horses, but Macheng has now fallen into the hands of Helian, do you think he will come to help us? Or do you think that the dwarf is really loyal to us? ”

"But......" Gao Sheng on the side looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously: "Didn't he always want to be naturalized?" ”

"Do you believe that?" Ye Zhao said disdainfully: "If I really let him naturalize at the beginning, then he would definitely be the first to defect, on the grassland, he is the overlord of the hegemonic side, but if he is really naturalized, do you think he can still live as nourishing as he is now?" On the territory of my Han family, when do you need a Hu overlord? ”

"So, the lord didn't take advantage of the way to dig up the bald tribe?" Qiu Chi suddenly said, if he can use the Dao to dig up the bald tribe, maybe he can hit the head and Budugen by surprise.

"It's just a reason, since Kuitou and Budugen have no intention of fighting, the goal of our trip is just to make peace, and there is no need to cause more trouble, besides, if Kuitou and Budugen both die here, who on the grassland can still contain Na Kebineng, I don't want to see a unified Xianbei royal court appear again." Ye Zhao nodded.

An hour later, after the camp was built, Ye Zhao was arranging people to be responsible for patrolling, but he saw a scout Pegasus coming, rushed straight into the camp before turning over and dismounting, quickly ran in front of Ye Zhao, bowed down and said: "Lord, the two checkpoints of Qiu Shui are already two empty passes, Guan Hai and Ding Li, the two generals, have confirmed several times, there is no half of a figure above the city, and they sent a lowly official to ask whether to occupy the city." ”

"All gone?" Ye Zhao frowned, this leader and Budugen walked really simply, but it was okay to save a lot of trouble, and nodded immediately: "Order the two of them to leave a garrison of soldiers and horses on top of the city pass, and the rest of the men and horses will return as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!" The scout agreed, got on his horse again, and galloped away.

The men and horses sent by Meng Hu to explore the other sixteen passes also returned one after another, Nakui Tou and Bu Dugen obviously had no intention of occupying these small passes, and now they are still in the hands of the Han army, and have been successfully received, Ye Zhao ordered these people to continue to hold the passes, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

In addition, the news from Ma Cheng surprised Ye Zhao!
