When Wei Shuo learned of the Qianghu rebellion and the northward movement of Later Qin, he had just signed an alliance with Xiyan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the menacing enemy, Wei Shuo was not panicked, and he was still in the mood to ridicule everyone

"Originally, Shuo was still embarrassed about how to lure Yao Xing to the north, but he didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself, but it also saved some arrangement."

Infected by Wei Shuo, everyone who was originally a little nervous due to the heavy pressure on the realm all relaxed.

If you want to say that the most confident in Wei Shuo, it is Duan Ye and Kang Long, the first subordinates to follow, they have experienced countless ups and downs with Wei Shuo, what kind of difficulties have you not seen?

But it's just a little Yao Xing, as long as most of them are protected from the horse, isn't it easy to catch it?

However, confidence is confidence, and some practical difficulties should also be taken into consideration, among which the shortage of troops has become the biggest hidden danger.

Originally, everyone did not expect that Qianghu would rebel, and the entire Shangjun garrison had a total of 9,000 people, including 3,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry.

The Hexi army of 9,000 against the Hou Qin army of 30,000, almost one to three, this battle still has to be fought.

But now that Qianghu has suddenly rebelled, the number of enemy troops has almost doubled, which greatly increases the difficulty of victory.

"My lord, do you want to let General Li Wei lead his army south from Hetao?"

"No, the Hetao garrison cannot be mobilized! Li Hui's duty was to monitor the Northern Wei Dynasty and take care of the Hetao, and he could not be easily transferred. ”

Wei Shuo categorically denied the suggestion to transfer Li Wei south, in case Tuoba Jue took advantage of the emptiness of the Hetao army to advance westward, even if he captured Yao Xing, it would not be enough to make up for the loss of the Hetao.

"You don't need to transfer troops, just rely on the garrison of Shangjun to fight this battle, I don't know if you dare to give it a go?!"

"Damn, isn't it just tens of thousands of enemy troops? Why don't you dare? The last general is not talented, and he is willing to fight to the death with the lord. ”

"The last general is willing, too."

"Your ministers are willing."

Under the agitation of Wei Shuo, everyone expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with Wei Shuo.

This is not that Wei Shuo underestimated the enemy, but he understands that in the ravines and ravines of Lingbei, the brigade may not be able to use it.

Next, Wei Shuo left Duan Ye to lead 3,000 foot soldiers to garrison Dailai City, and he and Kang Long led 6,000 iron cavalry to the south through Xiyan.

Before leaving, Duan Ye asked Wei Shuo for instructions, do you want to send the two ladies away?

"No, with them here, all the soldiers will be at ease, and they will believe that Shuo will definitely come back to save everyone."

"But, but ......"

"It's nothing, I've already arranged everything, you just have to be responsible for guarding the city, and Bo Yuan is responsible for everything else."

"As for the two ladies, there is nothing they will do to stay in the mansion all the time, if it really comes to the last moment......"

"Please rest assured, even if the last general loses his life, he will protect the safety of the two ladies."

"Changxu misunderstood, Shuo didn't mean that."

"I mean, Mrs. Meng is brave enough to win the three armies, and she can also go into battle to kill the enemy at critical moments."

"What?!"

"What? Don't believe it? Hahaha, you'll know when the time comes. ”

After speaking, Wei Shuo laughed, beat his horse and left, followed by Fuqu Mengxun, Kang Long and Zhang Teng, and the cavalry.

……

Half a month later, when it was about to enter autumn, Wei Shuo and six thousand iron horsemen finally entered the territory of Xiyan, which was less than ninety miles away from the military ferry port.

The iron horse rode forward and arrived at the ferry in less than three days.

After a long journey for most of the month, Wei Shuo could not see a trace of fatigue on his body, but became more and more energetic.

At this moment, he is drinking goat's milk with his head up, because the Hexi Army has naturalized many Hu people, and he is somewhat contaminated with Hu habits.

The person next to him was Xiyan Zhang Teng, who was ordered by Murong Yong to entertain Wei Shuo and his party.

After drinking the goat's milk, Wei Shuo turned his head to look at Zhang Teng and asked, "Lord Zhang, Shuo is very curious, how did you convince the lord of your country?" ”

After days of running, Zhang Teng has long since lost his previous chic appearance, and now he looks completely sloppy, his hair is long and messy, casually tied with a wooden branch, and he is wearing a wide and large robe, which looks quite embarrassed.

However, on his thin black face, there was a pair of very divine eyes, although the owner of the eyes tried to lower his head as much as possible to hide it, but the occasional wise gaze in those eyes was still captured by Wei Shuo.

This is a capable person, but unfortunately he is not reused by Murong Yong, so he can only do some errands.

"Actually, it's nothing, Teng just told the lord of the country that most of the people were willing to give 3,000 war horses as tolls."

"What?! When did Dadu Hu agree to send a war horse to Xiyan? ”

"You are so bold, you dare to make your own claims in the name of Dadu Protector."

"Kang Long, don't be rude."

Wei Shuo first scolded Kang Long, then turned to Zhang Teng and apologized: "Don't blame Lord Zhang, he is a rough man, except for having a strong arm, his head is not very bright." ”

"Isn't it just 3,000 war horses? For the sake of Lord Zhang's efforts to mediate for Hexi, I gave these horses. ”

"In addition, please ask Lord Zhang to go back and ask Lord Murong to see how many horses are worth, as long as King Yan can make a bid, there will be a lot of horses in the future."

After listening to Wei Shuo's naked solicitation, Zhang Tengruo said that it was absolutely impossible not to be moved.

There was even a moment when he wanted to go directly to Hexi, why bother to work hard for Murong Yong?

But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and the principle of life made it impossible for him to betray his master, so he could only wait in silence.

Wei Shuo didn't care about this, anyway, Xiyan wouldn't survive for long, and Zhang Teng wouldn't be able to escape from his palm sooner or later.

"Dare to ask Lord Zhang, how far is this from Xicheng?" In silence, Wei Shuo suddenly changed the topic and asked about the military situation again.

"Less than 100 miles southwest along Linshui (now Hushui River) is Xicheng, there is a ferry in the northwest of Xicheng, and it goes west across the river to the hometown of Qianghu."

Wei Shuo nodded and did not speak, turned over and dismounted, and ordered Fuqu Mengxun to open the map, and beckoned Zhang Teng to step forward.

Zhang Teng didn't say a word, leaned over according to his words, pointed to the map and spoke to Wei Shuo in detail.

"Do you think the enemy will be on guard?" At the moment, Wei Shuo is most concerned about this.

Zhang Teng thought for a moment, nodded affirmatively and replied: "Dadu Protector, the enemy would never have imagined that the Hexi Army would take advantage of Xiyan." ”

"And because the opposite side is the Qianghu tribe, the ferry has not been used for many years. Unless someone specifically reminded him, Yao Xing would never have thought of it. If all goes well, it will only take ten days for the army to go around behind the enemy. ”

Wei Shuo was relieved at this time, he believed in Zhang Teng's judgment, after all, there was no one who knew the local area better than him.

"Good! The army continued to march towards the city. The discussion was decided, Wei Shuo got up and ordered to set off directly.

Four days later, under the guidance of Zhang Teng, 6,000 iron horsemen successfully arrived at the Junpu Ferry.

Junpudu is an important ferry port leading to the northern Shaanxi Plateau in the Sanjin Dynasty, which belongs to Liulin County today, and faces Wubao across the river.

The Yellow River turns westward into a big bend through this, and its east is connected to Lishi, and it is connected to Suide in the west across the river.

"Is this the Great River?" Looking at the yellowing Yellow River in front of him, Wei Shuo sighed in his heart.

The water was a little clearer and clearer than what I had seen before, but it was only less sediment.

In fact, since the Qin and Han dynasties, after the destruction of vegetation in Guanzhong, the Yellow River has basically become impossible to become clear.

Standing on the shore and feeling the coolness of early autumn, Wei Shuo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and found that the mountains on the opposite bank were undulating, the river was not particularly wide, and the water flow was not fast, which was suitable for the army to cross the river.

Fortunately, the Xiyan people were very cooperative, and the garrison of Mengmen Pass in the north and the garrison of Xicheng successively collected a lot of boats, sheepskin rafts and other means of crossing the river for the army.

"Kang Long, you take Mo swordsmen to cross the river first, and then occupy a dangerous terrain to cover the brigade to cross the river."

"Obey." Kang Long said yes and turned to leave.

"Next, all the departments will cross the river in turn, and they must not disturb the order, and those who violate the order will be punished severely!"

After arranging everyone, Wei Shuo took Zhang Teng's hand and said with gratitude: "This time, Shuo was able to cross the river to the west smoothly, thanks to Lord Zhang's help all the way, he will have a fate, and Shuo will definitely have a good reward." ”

"Most of the guards are polite, Teng assists your army, but out of the duty of allies, you can't afford to repay it."

"If most of the protectors are truly grateful, please help Xiyan more in the future."

"Please tell Lord Zhang about this, but if there is a dispatch in the future, Hexi will definitely go all out."

"Teng Xian thanks Dadu for his help, and I wish Dadu all the best for this trip."

"Thank you, farewell."

After half a day of intense and busy, the 6,000 iron horsemen finally crossed the Yellow River safely.

And because all the Qianghu people participated in the rebellion, no one found that the Hexi army had quietly landed on its southeast side.
