In the second year of Jianxing, on the tenth day of October, the Jin army set out from Zhuolu, marched west along the Sanggan River, and entered the Datong Basin in later generations, that is, the northern part of Yanmen County and the first line of Dai County in the former Han Dynasty, completely isolated the Xianbei people stationed in Dai, Pingshu and Dangcheng counties.

On October 14, Wei Shuo commanded the Jin army of 42,000 infantry and cavalry to defeat 10,000 Xianbei cavalry on the south bank of the Sanggan River, killing more than 7,000 people, taking 2,000 prisoners, and escaping less than 1,000 people, while the Jin army's own losses were no more than 1,000 people.

After this battle, the Xianbei people in Daijun and northern Shaanxi no longer dared to go out of the city to fight with the Jin army, and only retreated in various county towns to wait for help.

On October 15, the main force of the Liaodong Army was under the city of Lindai.

Wei Shuo suddenly sent troops to Daijun to startle the Xianbei people, and Tuoba Liuxiu, who was stationed in Shengle, was angry that Youzhou took advantage of the fire to rob, but did not dare to send troops to Daijun, for fear that his cousin Tuoba Pugen would take advantage of the fisherman.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tuoba Liuxiu had no choice but to send someone to Daixian to repair Weishuo, saying that the Tuoba tribe was willing to evacuate from the east of Guanshui Mountain, but Youzhou must stop at Guanshui Mountain and must not take a step forward in the direction of Shengle in the northwest.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Tuoba Liuxiu to take the initiative to make peace, which saved us a lot of trouble."

"Yes, anyway, my Liaodong is temporarily unable to cross the Shenhekou to recover the Yinshan Hetao Plain, the lord might as well be a favor and agree to Tuoba Liuxiu's request for peace."

Wei Shuo bowed slightly, expressing his agreement with Lu Chang's proposal, this time in order to ensure that Youzhou does not send troops to Shengle, Tuoba Liuxiu has invested a lot of money. Not only did he give up the Daijun that had been occupied by Youzhou, but even the southern capital Xinping City was ceded to Liaodong.

"Tuoba Liuxiu was afraid that my Liaodong would unite with Tuoba Pugen, so he had to give up the area east of Guanshui Mountain. Pass my general order: Liu Yao rode 9,000 on foot, crossed the Sanggan River to the north of the Sanggan River and went north to Gaoliu Ancient City (the former Han Dynasty County Governor) and Pingcheng; Nengchen commanded 6,000 cavalry to the west and stationed in the old land of Shanwucheng (the former Han Yanmen County Administration). ”

"We must recover our hometown in the shortest possible time, drive all the Xianbei people east of Guanshu Mountain outside the Great Wall, and then rely on the Great Wall to establish a new defense line. Lay the foundation for the next step of immigration development. ”

"No!" Nengchen and Liu Yao got up and took the order.

……

The operation to recover Daijun went smoothly and somewhat beyond Wei Shuo's expectations, except for a bloody battle at Feihukou, the rest of the places were all decided.

It seems that the civil strife in Shengle has brought a huge negative impact on the Tuoba tribe, not only the defenders everywhere have no intention of fighting, but even the new Dadan Yu Tuoba Liuxiu has no intention of being an enemy of Youzhou.

When Wei Shuo was busy receiving all parts of Shanbei. Mo Han took Wei Xiong and Ji Yu to Dai County.

Knowing that Mo Han was visiting, Wei Shuo was very happy, and he hurriedly left his official business and ran out of the hall, leaving only Lu Chang and Han Shou looking at each other.

It didn't take long for Wei Shuo to walk into the hall with a smile and a short middle-aged man's arm, followed by two heavily armed generals.

I only heard Wei Shuo shouting at Lu Chang and Han Shou in the hall as he walked: "Hahaha, Mr. Changzhi and Mr. Menghua come and see who is coming?" ”

Han Shou looked shocked when he heard this, isn't this Mr. Mo Han? Isn't he in Shengle? How did it end up here?

Although Han Shou was surprised in his heart, his face remained silent. I saw him stand up and arch his hand and say, "Who am I?" It turned out to be the famous Mo Shirong! No wonder the lord heard that Mr. was visiting, and he even abandoned his business. ”

Lu Chang joked casually: "It's not, a few people didn't see the appearance of the lord just now, as if they had some kind of treasure, they left me and Master Han and ran out, so that I didn't even have a chance to say a word." ”

Wei Shuo smiled bitterly a few times, and explained to Mo Han, Wei Xiong, and Ji Yu: "Chang Yi has always been free and uninhibited, and loves to joke. Please forgive me! ”

Before meeting Wei Shuo, Mo Han had fantasized about many scenes. But I didn't expect this scene in front of me. Looking at Lu Chang and Han Shou's unscrupulous appearance in front of Wei Shuo, they were a little envious, as capable and aspiring literati, who doesn't want to meet a lord who appreciates and believes in himself?

If it weren't for Tuoba Yilu's background in the Hu clan, maybe Mo Hanzao would have joined Tuoba like Wei Cao's uncle and nephew. Fortunately, everything has now passed, and now he has finally ushered in a major turning point in his life.

In fact, Mo Han was not the only one who was moved, seeing Wei Shuo treat his subordinates so generously. Wei Xiong and Ji Tang finally put their minds at ease.

"Shuo has admired Mr. Mo for a long time, and he has intended to summon Mr. to Jicheng, but he didn't expect to meet him today, which is really a blessing for three lives! I hope that in the future, Mr. will accompany him and give advice, and he will be determined to obey his words. Follow the teachings of Mr. ”

"My lord, it's serious! It's just a businessman, and he doesn't deserve such favor from the lord. However, the lord will treat him as a national soldier, and he will repay it with a national soldier! ”

"Great, I have your help, why worry about big things?"

Mo Han's coming to cast made Wei Shuo excited for a long time, until Lu Chang quietly pulled his shirt and realized that he was patronizing and greeting Mo Han, and he actually ignored the two behind Mo Han.

Wei Shuo hurriedly straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to Wei and Ji, and apologized: "Shuo suddenly heard that Shirong came to vote, and he couldn't help but get a little carried away, and he neglected the two generals, please don't blame the two!" ”

From the conversation between everyone just now, Wei and Ji knew that Mo Han was a figure that Wei Shuo had admired for a long time, so they didn't express much dissatisfaction with Wei Shuo, not to mention that they officially apologized to them.

"Lord Wei is polite, I am waiting for the weak to vote, I hope that Lord Wei will take us in on the face of the same Huaxia lineage!"

Wei Shuo was about to say something, but saw Mo Han stand up and say: "Lord, don't underestimate the two generals Wei and Ji, they are both brave and resourceful generals, and they have assisted Liu Bingzhou to defeat the Huns many times. ”

"Oh? Is it? That's great! At present, my Liaodong is in a state of rapid expansion, and I urgently need generals like Wei and Ji who can take charge alone. ”

Although Wei Shuo didn't know the true skills of Wei and Ji Erjun, when he saw Mo Han giving him a look again and again, he knew that these two people were by no means simple, and they were busy talking about keeping each other.

"The last general will wait to see the lord!" Wei Xiong and Ji Yu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted Wei Shuo.

"Lord, these two are Wei Xiong Wei Shiyuan and Ji Yu Ji Shiya, who were once generals under Tuoba Yi Lu! Now Tuoba is in civil strife, and the two generals Wei and Ji are reluctant to get involved, and they planned to lead tens of thousands of Jin people and Karasuma people to run south and merge with the state. When crossing the Great Wall, after persuasion, the two generals temporarily changed their itinerary and came to Dai County. ”

It's buy one get two free! Wei Shuo was secretly sour, just now all his attention was on Mo Han, and now when he looked closely, he found that Wei and Ji were also extraordinary, and at a glance, they knew that they were not simple.

"Oh, two generals, please get up!"

"Congratulations to the lord for adding another good general!"

Everyone present congratulated Wei Shuo, and Wei Shuo hurriedly asked people to serve drinks to celebrate Mo, Wei, and Ji!

"Today, the Tuoba tribe in Monan has been divided into two parts, and the Tuoba Six Cultivators have just expressed to me the intention of asking for peace! If Liaodong wants to choose one side to support, in the opinion of the world, which one should we choose to support? ”

Seeing Wei Shuo asking, Mo Han gave his own answer without thinking, "Tuoba Pugen, the leader of the central part of Tuoba!" ”

Wei Shuo said with a look of surprise: "Why? You must know that so far, Tuoba Pugen, who lives on the east side of Yinshan Mountain, has not made any reaction to Youzhou's entry into Shanbei and Daijun! ”

"My lord, Tuoba Pugen didn't react, it's not that he has any hostility towards us, but that he is far away on the east side of Yinshan Mountain, and I'm afraid that the news has not yet reached the outside of the Saiwai. The most important reason why Han asked the lord to support Tuoba Pugen was that Tuoba Pugen was not in good health, and as far as I know, he had two to three years to live at most. ”

"In the future, once Tuoba Pugen defeats Tuoba Liuxiu, it won't be a few years before the Tuoba tribe will have to make trouble for the position of Dadanyu, and then it will be the time for us to send troops outside the fortress to recover the Hetao!"

After listening to Mo Han's words, everyone present felt sad for the Tuoba tribe, afraid that they would not be able to escape the fate of civil strife in their lives! (To be continued.) )
