One hundred and fifty miles northwest of Zhenbei Fort, the Khitan Daji Department is located here, and the Daji Department surrendered to the Great Yan Kingdom more than 100 years ago, and the Daji Department at that time was much stronger than now. Therefore, the Daji Department has always regarded itself as a vassal of the Yan State.

But since then, after the Yan army invaded the northern part of Youzhou, the Daji Department had some strange thoughts. The Daji Department is only one of the eight Khitan departments, with a population of more than 100,000 and an area of less than 1,000 miles. In addition, the east of it is the Tatar tribes, the north is the rest of the Khitan tribes, the north is the Turks, and the west is the Murwei people, so it is cautious and naturally does not dare to change its position at will.

After careful consideration, Da Jize, the leader of the Daji Division, decided that he would not invade the Yan Kingdom, but he could not give up what was beneficial to him. So, he hooked up with the Black Snake Army that occupied the northwest of Shunzhou Mansion and made some transactions, some transactions prohibited by Yan State. For Zhenbei Fort, Da Jize also agreed to assist in the control of Zhan, and when necessary, to provide support.

Subsequently, Da Jize learned that the Yan army had been defeated one after another, and it was at the hands of a local army, which had defeated the Yan army. Da Jize remembered the name of this army, the Huolin Army! Subsequently, Da Jize was also secretly lucky, and he didn't attack the Shunzhou Mansion, if he was responsible, wouldn't he be like the Zhu? Even such a powerful tribe as the Lords of the Devil was defeated, not to mention a small tribe with a population of only 1450,000.

Hearing the report of his subordinates, the wolf smoke of Zhenbei Fort was everywhere, Da Jize immediately ordered 3,000 troops, killed Zhenbei Fort, prepared to rescue, and at the same time, also urgently ordered scouts to inquire about the situation of Zhenbei Fort.

Halfway through, he learned that it was the Yan army attacking Zhenbei Fort, and after a moment of silence, Da Jize sneered again and again, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up. Although the Jin army was strong, Zhenbei Fort was at the southern end of the Khitan sphere of influence. And the closest thing to this place is the Beihai tribe. However, now that the Beihai tribes are not in harmony and are too busy to take care of themselves, Da Jize is naturally not afraid.

However, when he traveled more than ten miles, only more than 20 miles away from Zhenbei Fort, he learned that it was the Huolin Army and the Shunzhou Army that occupied Zhenbei Fort. After the banner of the Huolin Army and the banner of the Shunzhou Army fluttered in the sky above Zhenbei Fort, his face immediately changed greatly, and he ordered the whole army to stop. After a while, he summoned the deputy of this trip, who was also his eldest son, and asked him to carry a thousand war horses to Zhenbei Fort to congratulate the Huolin army. Then he turned around and withdrew to the tribe with more than 2,000 soldiers.

Regarding his father's handling of his father, although Da Jikong felt a little depressed, he also had to agree with his father's approach. Without him, the Huolin Army is too strong, and people still occupy the name of righteousness. After all, Shunzhou Mansion is the land of Yan Kingdom, and the Huolin Army is conquering in Shunzhou Mansion, and the Khitans have no right to interfere.

As for the choice of the Khitans, several captains in Zhenbei Fort did not know, but no matter how the Khitans chose, they would not be afraid. Because of the appearance of the banner of the Huolin Army and the cavalry of the Shunzhou Army, Zhenbei Fort quickly settled down, of course, every qiē here must be done in accordance with the rules of the Huolin Army.

Li Mang surrendered with more than 2,500 Black Snake troops, leaving aside the seriously injured, and after a general verification, Ma Kui's cronies and some heinous guys were executed on the spot, as for those hardliners, they were also executed one by one under Li Mang's guidance, and in the end, there were still 2,300 people left. As for these people, they can only stay in the camp south of Zhenbei Fort for the time being, waiting for training.

Zhenbei Fort was handed over to the fourth capital of the Shunzhou Army to guard, and the two battalions of the cavalry left 1,000 for training and guarding the prisoners, leaving 3,000 and going straight to the south to join the training.

After the departure of the cavalry, Zhenbei Fort gradually stabilized, and after learning that Zhenbei Fort had fallen into the hands of the Huolin Army, with the assistance of the Shunzhou sergeants, the market outside the fort gradually stabilized. As the sky darkened, some oil lamps began to light up above the bazaar, and from the inner fortress wall, outside the entire fort, there were fire dragons.

Looking at the businessmen and people who had settled down so quickly, Li Mang couldn't help but sigh secretly, and the slightest abnormal movement in his heart disappeared. It seems to be an ordinary thing, but it shows the weight of the Fire Lin Army in the hearts of these people. Looking at the cavalry of the Shunzhou Army patrolling back and forth, I don't know how many times it is better than the Black Snake Army, they are really supported by the people......

"Report! My lord! Outside the bazaar, the eldest prince of the Daji Department asks to meet! ”

Zhang Rongyuan, the fourth lieutenant of the Shunzhou Army, was stunned, turned sideways, and asked Li Mang: "General Li, does he know the details of this Daji Department?" ”

Looking at the other party's smiling expression, Li Mang knew that the other party must have thought that this Khitan had recruited his own assistance. Hurriedly said: "This Daji tribe is one of the eight Khitan tribes, which is a small tribe, with more than 150,000 tribes, plus it is close to my Yan country, so it is a vassal of my Yan country." Before the army of the Yan Dynasty invaded the Shunzhou Mansion, this department would enter the court every year to worship. After the Black Snake Army occupied this place, it was better with the Daji Department, buying war horses and livestock, and at the same time, the Daji Department was also responsible for helping when the foreign enemy invaded the north fort of Zhenbei. Thinking about it, the wolf smoke that was lit earlier attracted the attention of the Khitans, so they came. ”

Zhang Rongyuan said: "I see! Outside the bazaar, how many Khitans are there, and what is the momentum? ”

The officer stationed in the bazaar replied: "Lord Hui, there are about 1,000 Khitans outside, but they are still 300 meters away, and they are not attacking. In addition, he was accompanied by a thousand war horses. ”

"Oh? That's right...... Walk! Let's check it out! Let the brethren pay attention and not be careless! Zhang Rongyuan said thoughtfully.

Zhang Rongyuan and others came to the periphery of the bazaar, only to see that hundreds of meters away, more than 1,000 Khitan people were sitting quietly on their horses, waiting silently. When did the Khitans have such patience? Li Mang couldn't help but feel strange.

"I am Zhang Rongyuan, the commander of the Shunzhou Army, and I am also the temporary defender here. I don't know what happened when you came to my swallow land? ”

In a moment, more than ten horsemen rushed out from the opposite side, and one of them said loudly: "I have seen General Shangbang!" My lord is the prince of Dajibu, a hundred miles away from the north, and I heard that the Huolin army defeated the rebellion and recovered this place, so I came to pay a visit! ”

Zhang Rongyuan and the others looked at each other, especially a few lieutenants and lieutenants, who were originally worried that the Khitans would ask about the situation here, but they didn't expect it to be like this. Even the guards on one side and the soldiers and people behind the bazaar wall were amazed. Suddenly, these people were secretly impressed by the strength of the Fire Lin Army.

Zhang Rongyuan was born in the Huolin Army's personal guard battalion, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, but said with a faint smile on his face: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the eldest prince of the Daji Department had visited, but unfortunately, there were still rebels and the Yan army occupied in the territory of Shunzhou Mansion, so the Huolin Army had already gone south at the same time, and only my Shunzhou army was temporarily guarding here." If you want to descend to the general of the Huolin Army, I am afraid that you will have to wait until the Shunzhou Mansion is completely calmed down. Of course, if you don't mind, you can also visit Gaoling County. ”

"I see, since the general of the Huolin Army is not here, then it is inconvenient for us to disturb, today the Huolin Army is defeated and rebellious, and my prince is willing to present a thousand good horses as a congratulator."

"Hissing ......" Many people were taken aback, although this good horse is nothing for the Khitans, but whether it is for the Huolin Army, for the Shunzhou Army or for other forces, this is not a small gesture, and more importantly, this is the surrender of a tribe to one of the forces.

"Good! Then thank you for the kindness of the Daji Army, I will give these heavy gifts on behalf of the Huolin Army, and I should also explain the hospitality of your Ministry to the Huolin Army in detail. Zhang Rongyuan laughed.

"In that case, I won't bother too much and leave here!" More than 1,000 Khitans slowly retreated, leaving more than 100 people to watch the war horses and wait for the Shunzhou army to receive them.

"Ouyang, send someone to accept them, haha...... He actually won a thousand war horses for nothing. Zhang Rongyuan laughed.

Beside Zhang Rongyuan, Xu Ce, the captain of the second battalion, said with a smile: "Lord Duwei, do you want to add this war horse to us first?" When we attacked the northern part of Dingbei County, we lost four or five hundred horses, and we haven't finished replenishing them yet......"

Zhang Rongyuan smiled: "Xu Ce, did you hear clearly?" This war horse was given to the Huolin Army, not to us! Our Shunzhou army doesn't have such a big face, let the Khitan people give gifts! ”

Xu Ce said flatteringly: "Lord Duwei, don't pretend, who doesn't know now, the commander of the Shunzhou Army is the Lord of the Huolin Army, we are all a family, and we share each other?" You say, don't you? ”

This is, even Li Mang, who was temporarily taken hostage on the side, stared at Zhang Rongyuan, waiting for his answer.

In addition to some of the people installed by the Huolin Army, a large part of Zhang Rongyuan's side was from the Shunzhou Army. They naturally knew that Zhang Rongyuan, as the commander of the capital, must be a close confidant of the commander, and the news they got must be more true. They also want to know the real situation, and now the Huolin Army can deter the grassland with a big banner, although it is only a small one, but it is enough to stir people's hearts.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Zhang Rongyuan still couldn't guess what they thought? So he smiled and said: "Okay, let's do it, these war horses will stay here for the time being, and when I report to the adults, if there is no accident, these war horses will give priority to replenishing us." Well, all battalions have doubled down on sending sentry agents, be careful, and don't get carried away because of the Khitans' softness. ”

Really! He is really the commander of the Huolin Army! Li Mang's mind changed drastically, although Zhang Rongyuan did not say it directly, but the meaning of this sentence unceremoniously pointed out the identity of the commander of the Shunzhou Army. That's it, what's the dissatisfaction with being defeated in the hands of the Fire Lin Army? Even the Khitans politely sent thousands of war horses, what else do I have to complain about. Li Mang shook his head bitterly and sighed, and the little caution that still existed in his heart was completely extinguished.

On the evening of the second day after taking Zhenbei Fort, the 3,000 cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion and the Black Panther Battalion finally joined Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun was promoted to two battalions and the Red Wolf Battalion on the spot. Coupled with the two percent captured by Zhenbei Fort last time, all the soldiers of the two capitals cheered excitedly. Later, he received a report from Zhenbei Fort that the Khitan Daji Department presented a thousand war horses to congratulate. It made Zhao Xun breathe a sigh of relief, he was at odds with the Ya tribes, and if he fought with the Khitans again, the pressure on the north would be great. Although 500 miles to the west is the army of General Zhenbei, who knows if they will come to the rescue when they are attacked by the Khitans? Come to think of it, eight or nine are not far from ten, these people will not make a move.
