Murong Feng galloped fast for a day and a night, and finally caught up with the army, seeing that the cavalry was rectifying and ready to go, and the Han slaves who accompanied the army cut down trees to make siege equipment, he couldn't help frowning.

Murong Feng walked into the eldest prince's tent, and the eldest prince Huaifang was drinking tea with a cup, and there was a strong smell of tea wafting in the tent.

When Huai Fang saw Murong Feng, he was surprised: "Murong Feng, why did you come back so soon, didn't you meet someone from the Changliu Immortal Sect?" ”

Murong Feng shook his head and said bitterly: "No, I did, but their cavalry has increased to three thousand, and the men and horses are wrapped in iron armor all over their bodies, and they are not their opponents in close combat, and they can't break through the iron armor with long-range shots, it is completely futile to harass them, and I have no choice but to return." The subordinates are ineffective, and the eldest prince is asked to surrender the crime. As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, his head bowed and his face full of pain.

Huai Feng hurriedly pulled Murong Feng up and comforted: "Get up, it's not your fault, the other party is too strong, and the number has increased to three thousand, you are naturally not their opponent, and it is a wise choice to retreat in time." ”

Then he frowned and muttered, "Three thousand more cavalry? Where did these cavalrymen come from? ”

Murong Feng said: "My subordinates see that their banners have the word Gongsun written on them, and the three thousand cavalry are afraid that they are white horses and righteous followers......"

Huai Fang's body suddenly shook, and he glared, "You mean...... Say that Juyong Pass is lost? ”

"Yes." Murong Feng nodded his head,

Huai Fang's face was pale, and the right hand holding the cup trembled slightly, obviously very excited, Juyongguan was their circuit, without this retreat, wouldn't they become a turtle in the urn?

Murong Feng comforted: "Eldest prince, please rest assured, Juyong Pass is gone." We can go north to Yuyang County, right Beiping County. Even Liaoxi, especially Liaoxi County. We can get out of customs easily. ”

Huai Fang's face gradually softened, and he snorted: "Youzhou is originally a poor place, that is, Zhuo County, Shanggu County and Yan Country are quite rich, and those counties in the north are sparsely populated and lack of resources, but there are a lot of Han border troops, do we have to fight all the way?" ”

Murong Feng didn't answer his words, and he didn't need to answer, but said straightforwardly: "Great Prince." The longer the time drags on, the more Han troops will come to encircle and suppress us, and we need to fight quickly! ”

"Not bad." Huai Fang nodded.

"Now there are three places for us to choose, the first is to enter Zhuo County, the current Zhuo County is the richest county in Youzhou because of the long stay in Xianmen, but there is the territory of Changliu Xianmen, if we go, I am afraid that we will pay a heavy price like the Eagle tribe; The second is Yanguo Jixian County. Jixian County has a long history, there are many Han families, and it was once the richest county seat in Youzhou, but Jixian County is the seat of Youzhou. Lord Liu Yu is there, and Liu Yuanjun has a lot of prestige among my Hu people, if he robs the county seat where he is located. is afraid that if it provokes his anger, it will cause the dissatisfaction of Wuhuan, Fuyu, and filthy people; The third is to enter Yuyang County. We are not far from Yuyang County now, but Yuyang County is not far from the Great Wall Guancheng. In fact, it is also a military city, and there are many Han troops in it, and it is not as rich as the previous two counties. But now the most suitable for us to attack the city is this Yuyang County. ”

"No, we're attacking Jixian." Huai Fang said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Murong Feng was slightly stunned and said: "Eldest Prince, Jixian County is Liu Yuanjun's territory, and Liu Yuanjun is usually not thin on us Xianbei people, we need to give him face." ”

Huai Fang drank all the water in the cup, and said with a smile: "But we are in trouble now and need his help, I think with his benevolent heart, he should not mind being our prisoner." ”

Murong Feng immediately understood, and looked at Huai Fang in surprise, "Does the eldest prince want to take Liu Yuanjun as a hostage and let the people who have stayed in the Immortal Gate for a long time throw a rat bogey?" ”

"Yes, what do you think?" Huai Fang asked with a smile.

Liu Yu has been able to prosper in official fortune and smooth sailing, in addition to his outstanding ability, it is also because he is a member of the Han family, and there are people in the court, so he can become a state assassin in middle age, and after this person came to Youzhou, under his supervision, the people of Youzhou are basically law-abiding, benevolent, and tolerant of the Hu people in the north, not only in the Han Dynasty and the opposition, but also in the Hu people are also very prestigious.

Murong Feng was silent, and only sighed after half a sound: "This can only be the case at this stage." ”

Seeing his unswerving expression, Huai Fang sneered: "Liu Yuanjun has always treated us Hu people with a gentle policy, and he is magnanimous to my Hu people, and usually gives us small favors, wanting to influence us and submit to their Han people to be cattle and horses." To be honest, I still admire him as a person, Hu and Han have been fighting for hundreds of years, it is a feud, but he can influence many Hu people to work for him, this person is very human. But...... Han people are Han people after all, Hu people are Hu people after all, it is impossible for Hu and Han to get along, Murong Feng, you have to keep this in mind. ”

"Yes." Murong Feng hurriedly responded, but his eyes were rather dim.

Murong Feng has always had a dream, he hopes that the Xianbei people will no longer make a living by plundering, no longer live a life with only today and no tomorrow, and can have a stable life like the Han people, with a stable grain output every year, and no need to frown for food for the winter. He longed for the life of the Han people in his heart, but he despised the weakness of the Han people, and felt that the Han people did not deserve to have such a beautiful and fertile land, and only Xianbei warriors were qualified to have it. But it is not easy to drive out the Han people, hundreds of thousands of years have not heard of the Hu people can expel the Han people and control the land of the Han people, but it may be possible to live in harmony with the Han people and cultivate the land with the Han people, such as Liu Yuanjun is doing now......

……

Liu Yu has been very troubled recently, can he not be troubled? Juyong Pass has been broken by Xianbei people, and now there are no soldiers and horses in Youzhou to stop Xianbei tens of thousands of iron horses, and she has completely become a beautiful woman without a fig leaf, and Xianbei can ravage + ravage as much as you want. Now the Xianbei Iron Cavalry has three directions to loot, one direction is to go south into Zhuo County, but last time in Zhuo County, thousands of people were burned to death by that immortal, and it is estimated that they do not have the courage to go again; The second choice is to attack Jixian County, where I am located, I think that since I served as the assassin, I have always treated people with benevolence and righteousness, and I have always been kind to the Hu people, even if those Xianbei cavalry are not grateful to Dade. They will not risk the condemnation of the world to attack me, otherwise the Hu people in and around Youzhou will definitely not let them go.

Come to think of it. Liu Yu couldn't help but smile, and then frowned again. muttered: "Then the Xianbei cavalry will enter Yuyang County, and Yuyang County will be ruined again." How good is that? He sighed, rather melancholy.

At this moment, a servant walked in quickly and said, "Master, all the adults have gathered in the main hall. ”

"yes, okay." Liu Yu straightened his clothes, entered the main hall, and saw that many officials were gathering here, and they all saluted when they saw Liu Yu.

Liu Yuzuo smiled and said, "What is the situation now?" ”

An official said: "The Xianbei cavalry has entered the territory of Yan State. In order to prevent them from plundering in Yanguo Township, they implored Liu Yuanjun and Xia Xiaowei to gather the nearby Wuhuan and other Hu people to kill the Xianbei cavalry. ”

The only person who can become a captain in Yan Country can only be Xia Yu, the captain of Wuhuan.

Xia Yu frowned and said: "Xianbei has 40,000 cavalry, there are too many of them, and they come and go like the wind, we can only stand by the wall to be able to sit back and relax." ”

Everyone fell silent, and although it was difficult to accept, it was the only way to do it now.

A young man with a face like a crown of jade said: "The Xianbei cavalry is alone in the depths. We might as well be fortified and cleared, the Xianbei people have no supplies, they can't conquer it, and they have nothing to gain. Within a few days, the whole army will collapse without a fight. ”

Liu Yu asked gently: "Liu He, what does the strong wall Qingye mean?" ”

This young man is Liu Yu's son Liu He. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu He smiled slightly and said, "Father." This is what I heard when I was listening to a book in the Zhuoxian teahouse, and the fortification of the clear field is to strengthen the fortifications. Retreating the inhabitants of the four fields and transferring grain, grass and supplies to other places, the Nahu people had nothing to plunder, and without food supplies, the whole army collapsed without a fight. ”

Liu Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "During your time in Zhuoxian, you have learned a lot of things. ”

"The Immortal Gate is indeed unique, but it's a pity that their knowledge is only taught to their own disciples, and it takes a lot of money for outsiders to learn."

Liu He shook his head and sighed, he was very envious of the disciples of the Immortal Sect for a long time, but he hated Bai Ziyun's regulations, his father Liu Yu's image outside was a Qing official, and he couldn't be too ostentatious outside as a son, otherwise it would have a negative impact on his Lao Tzu. So in the days of Zhuo County, he could only borrow books everywhere, but fortunately, Liu Ji, the Taishou of Zhuo County, took good care of him, and exchanged his points for a lot of useful books from the long-stayed Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which opened his eyes, and he no longer had any resentment towards Bai Ziyun, but turned to admiration and worship.

"What do you think of my plan?" Liu Yu asked.

Many people nodded and praised, thinking that this plan was very good, but Xia Yu secretly rolled his eyes, the two fathers and sons did not understand the military situation, and they commanded blindly.

Xia Yu took a step forward and said: "Liu Yuanjun, this plan is not appropriate, the Hu people usually carry dried meat with them when they go out on expeditions, and if they don't loot the grain, they will use the dried meat to supplement the grain, and this dried meat can generally be eaten for several months." And now it's too late to use the strong wall Qingye, the Xianbei cavalry has already entered the territory of Yan Kingdom, and with their horse speed, they will soon come to the city. ”

Liu He's face turned red suddenly, but Liu Yu didn't care, seeing that his son was so thin-skinned, he couldn't help but smile, and then frowned: "Captain Xia is so sure that the Xianbei people will come to attack the city?" ”

"With the current situation, there is a great possibility." Xia Yu said.

Liu Yu shook his head and said: "There are many Hu nobles living in Jixian County, and the Xianbei cavalry is attacking, so they are not afraid of offending other Hu people?" In my opinion, they will not come to attack......" Before he could finish speaking, a dull and hurried bell was heard.

"When~When~"

Everyone looked at each other, this was the warning sound of the tower, it seemed that Xianbei had really come to attack the city.

Everyone immediately ran to the east gate, ran to the head of the city, looked down, and sure enough, they saw dozens of Xianbei cavalry wandering outside the city, fortunately, there were not many people, and when they were breathing a sigh of relief, there was a roaring sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Liu Yu looked at it with great eyes, and vaguely saw a ride appear on the hillside in the distance.

The knight on horseback was dressed in iron armor and an iron helmet on his head, standing proudly, and suddenly with a spear in his hand, thousands of cavalry emerged from behind him, surging towards Jixian County like a torrent.

"Hulu!"

"Hu Lu is here!"

Looking at the Xianbei cavalry all over the mountains, the soldiers at the head of the city suddenly screamed in panic, and only settled down under the reprimand of the generals, lined up one by one, and settled in their own positions. Rolling wood, stones, fierce fire oil tanks and other equipment to defend the city were also moved to the city.

Soon a large force of cavalry rolled in, and the banners were white and red, and slowly concentrated a mile east of the city.

Seeing that the Xianbei cavalry was strong and strong, Liu Yu and other officials all let out a heavy wheezing sound, looking at the area all over, there were indeed almost 40,000 people, how could so many people and horses resist?

Xia Yu has seen a lot of battles, his expression is very calm, he looked carefully at the rear of Xianbei, and said: "You don't need to panic, the Xianbei cavalry is good at kung fu, but they are not good at attacking cities, their siege equipment is not complete and they are very simple, they should have been hastily made, as long as we can hold on for two days, we can usher in reinforcements." ”

Everyone nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, just stick to it for two days, and it shouldn't be difficult to think about it. When people encounter a crisis, they will have a fluke mentality in their hearts, and these people are like this. (To be continued......)
