After throwing the medicine to Li Yimin, He Daxian went back directly, crossed the Yellow River, and went back to Zhenzhou.

Roughly calculated, there are three pills in total, the first one must have been fed to a dog or found a prisoner to test, then the remaining two pills can last at least six days. When passing through Zhao Sang's camp, he instructed Zhao Sang to continue to defend and strengthen his defense, and if Li Yimin came to him again, tell him that General Zhao had gone back to get medicine and would come back in ten days.

Originally, He Daxian was also ready to take Linzhou first, form a confrontation with the Dingyan Army, and wait until the spring of next year to officially invade the Dingyan Army area, but now that he has found the nail of Li Yimin, he can consider completing the plan of annexing the Dingyan Army before this winter and moving west to Lingzhou (now Yinchuan)!

After returning to Zhenzhou, He Daxian and Han Kuangsi recalculated the strength of the Zhenwu army.

Shizhou in the south has basically stabilized, and the Jin army is concentrating on attacking Jinzhou, and does not want to fight with the Zhenwu army for the time being. Therefore, leaving 3,000 foot soldiers in Shizhou can be defended, and the Lanzhou army and the original more than 4,000 Shizhou troops are all withdrawn, and the matter of Lanzhou's defense, let Tang Qun recruit another 2,000 villagers.

Shuozhou's 10,000 troops can't move for the time being, and now Yingzhou Yin Hui's attitude is ambiguous, that is, not to mention the Tang army loyal to Li Congke, nor the Yan army that defected to Zhao Dejun, originally hooked up with Shi Jingjiao's Jin army, but now it seems that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to build a country.

If Yin Hui had an idea, the status of Shuozhou, which guarded the Northern Plains, would be very important.

Zhao Dejun's Yan army was the most powerful warlord in this period, but it was impossible for the Yan army to fight it.

Zhao Dejun himself was in Cangzhou and Fan Yanguang to seize Shandong, and at the same time transferred Liu Zaiming to the north to directly invade the Khitan, seemingly trying to rob the Bohai Kingdom (present-day Liaoning Province and Jilin Province), which was originally annexed by the Khitan, and the plot was very big, and it was impossible to provoke Zhao Ping to open up a third battlefield.

After the incorporation of the Shizhou Army, the current total strength of the Zhenwu Army is 27,000 people, deducting the defense deployment of Shizhou and Shuozhou, there are still 14,000 people, Zhao Sang led 5,000 people to deploy in Linzhou, and also gave 5,000 people from far away to go to the Khitan to rob, and the rich army is only 4,000 people!

"All 4,000 people were transferred to Linzhou! Fuzhou recruits another thousand villagers to join! Zhenzhou can also be temporarily empty. "Zhao Ping made a decision!

"Then the total strength of our army in Linzhou can reach 10,000, and Li Yimin still has 10,000 cavalry under him, adding up to a total of 20,000 people, and it is still a bit insufficient to fight Li Yiyin in Xiazhou. The Dingyan army has 80,000 standing soldiers! Han Kuangsi also counted on the map for a long time, and his face was excited.

It's the first time to participate in the planning of such a big battle, and it's basically equivalent to a war to destroy the country! How can Han Kuangsi not be excited!

In addition, when Zhao Ping came back yesterday, he immediately agreed to give him a matchmaker marriage, and he could hug the little beauty Feng Yuqi into the cave room tomorrow night! Han Kuangsi was lying on the table talking about how many people he was going to kill, but between the corners of his eyebrows was full of spring, it was really disgusting!

An eighteen-year-old young man, proud of both career and love, the first peak of his life has been reached!

"Or, postpone going to Khitan to rob? I led 5,000 horsemen to participate in the battle against the Dingyan army? Looking at the map from afar, he was also a little worried, and put forward his own ideas.

"No, before the heavy snow closes the mountain, you must grab a round, otherwise you will wait until next spring to grab it, half of the grain and grass will be eaten, and the cattle and sheep will lose a lot of weight! And that's secondary! The point is that Yin Hui may be plotting against Rouran! ”

Seeing this, some readers may not understand it very well.

As a native of the Central Plains, many people look at the nomads on the northern grasslands as if they were the same. Today it is Turkic, tomorrow it will become Khitan, and later it will become Mongolia, and it is not clear who they are who.

In fact, there are so many ethnic groups on the northern grasslands that they are like stars in the sky, and there are countless of them! The more famous Mongolians, Jurchens, Khitans, Turks, Xiongnu, etc., seem to be a big nation, but in fact they are also a small tribe, and a small nation suddenly appeared a great character, uniting all kinds of small ethnic groups and small tribes around it!

To really understand the relationship between the hundreds of ethnic groups on the grassland, it must be a historian's business, and we should not be too careful when we read novels, and it is better to look at things and talk about things.

Who are the Rouran people? Rouran is an ancient people, from the Avars of Bavaria, Europe, the most powerful time was around 410 A.D. in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because of the small impact on the Central Plains, everyone is not very familiar with it, but for other steppe peoples in the north, the blood on the hands of the Rouran people is not less than the Mongols in the period of Genghis Khan!

When Rouran was at its strongest, it occupied almost the entire Siberia, from ******** in the east to the Altai Mountains in the west, and almost occupied most of the territory of Asia in today's Russia! The people of the Central Plains called them Beiyu or Beidi, and during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty called them "worms", ironically saying that the people of Rouran were like insects, and the people were ugly and stupid, and the sour literati of the Central Plains also changed their names to "Ruru", and then the Rouran people actually thought that "Ruru" sounded good, and they also claimed to have even changed their surname to "Ruru".

After the rise of the Rouran Khanate, it fought with the Northern Wei Dynasty, which occupied the northern part of the Central Plains for more than 100 years, and there were constant internal disputes, divided into several countries.

Later, the situation in the Central Plains changed again, the Northern Wei Dynasty fell, the Sui Dynasty unified the country, and then the Tang Dynasty rose.

The Tang Dynasty was a peaceful and open dynasty in the eyes of the Central Plains, but for the northern grassland peoples, it was a super devil who ate people and did not spit out bones.

Are you Turkic so awesome? Hit you!

The Tang Army, known as the "Crow Army", swept the Turks on the vast desert grassland, and drove the Turks westward for tens of thousands of kilometers, and the vast grassland was uninhabited for thousands of miles, sandwiched in the middle for a while to vassal the Turks, and for a while to vassal the Tang Dynasty, the Rouran people and other grassland peoples were deeply implicated and poisoned, and in the war, the corpses were strewn for thousands of miles, the heads were rolling, and the population was also greatly reduced, and the glory of the past was no longer restored in the vigorous historical changes.

finally waited until the Tang Dynasty declined, and the Rouran people were almost resting and recuperating, but who knew that the Khitan suddenly rose again, and as a result, the Rouran people were put on the hats of the Khitans again!

The Rouran people are bitter, they have already escaped the poisonous hands of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and the Khitans have come to rule them again. However, in addition to surrendering to the Khitan, where the Rouran people operated, there was another relatively fierce steppe people, the Divination people.

What kind of people is Divination? Zhu Bu is actually a distant relative of the Tiele tribe, and a major member of the Great Mongolian tribe, and later known as Tumut! In Genghis Khan's Mongol army, the most capable and fierce army came from the Diviners! Although the Tumut ethnic group later merged into the Mongol ethnic group, a large number of place names named after Tumut can still be found on the map!

When two nomads are next to each other, they will inevitably compete for grassland water and soil, so the Divination and Rouran people have also fought for many years, and both sides have saved a lot of each other's blood in their hands.

Originally, in the official history, the Rouran people joined the Khitan, as the Khitan puppet army, there are still two hundred years of good life, who knows that He Daxian crossed over and changed the thriving national situation of the Khitan, and now, not only the Zhenwu army is ready to rush in to grab money and women, even Yin Hui of Yingzhou also wants to come over and share a scoop!

Yin Hui is an old fox who sees that the world is in chaos, and he also wants to establish himself as the king and open up a new force. It turned out that Zhao Dejun in the east, Zhao Ping and Shi Jingjiao in the south were not easy to mess with, so they had to go to the Khitan land to dig a piece of land to build a country! Anyway, now that Yelu Cha and Shu Luping are in contention, no one cares about the border defense of the Khitan State at all!

Which persimmon is softer and easier to pinch? Rouran!

But He Daxian quit! Nima Rouran is in Yunnei Prefecture, and Zhubu is in Dongsheng Prefecture, and the two states are separated by less than a few hundred miles. Where is there a barrier in the vast grassland! When Yin Hui's army arrives in Yunnei Prefecture, he will inevitably take advantage of the situation to loot Dongsheng Prefecture!

How can I let you eat my flesh?

No way!

Fold from afar must first go to Dongshengzhou, loot all the time, and then point to Yunnei Prefecture, empty land demarcation!

This is why He Daxian also wants to dig a piece of land in the Khitan to claim sovereignty!

What is empty land demarcation? This is Ho Tai Sin's new invention beyond the colonial era. We'll go into more detail about what is the demarcation of empty land later, and here we will first solve the problem on the side of the difficult army.

"General Zhe will set off the day after tomorrow, there must be no further delays, as for the problem of the difficult army, it may be necessary to bring in Yang Hongxin in Linzhou City!"

Yes, there are still 3,000 soldiers in Linzhou City, and Yang Hongxin is the sixth fierce man in the top ten heroes of the Western Regions!

The Yang family will be famous in the world in the future, how can the list of famous generals under He Daxian be without the participation of the Yang family!

Then why is Yang Hongxin willing to follow you Zhao Pingming?

Isn't it good to guard the self-made industry of Linzhou for the benefit of children and grandchildren?

This gives you a difficult military festival envoy, are you willing to go down the mountain?

Linzhou is a small broken city! What's the fun? There are four states in the area under the jurisdiction of the Dingyan Army! The population is seven or eight hundred thousand!

How about this condition, will Yang Hongxin resist the temptation?

What the? Hey, wait, didn't you say that it was for Li Yimin, who practiced children's skills?

Hush! Shut up! You know so much! (To be continued.) )
