It had been seven days since Kebi was stationed in Danhan Mountain, and he deliberately set up his big tent at the location of the former Xianbei chieftain Tanshi Huaiya tent to show his people his ambitions.

One of the henchmen who came with Kebi was named Suonu, with yellow hair and yellow beard, blue eyes and an eagle nose, and the Han people in the Sene looked very different in appearance.

Suo Nu is more than nine feet tall and has infinite strength, and has fought with black bears and giant tigers in the jungle of Mobei, and ordinary three or five Xianbei men can't resist the blow of his giant stick. Kebineng himself is very brave, and now with the follower of such a peerless fierce creature as the lock slave, it is like a tiger with wings, which greatly deters the nearby tribes, so that they can't afford to resist.

On this day, Kebineng took the lock slave to climb the yellowed Danhan Mountain, raised his eyes to the south, and his eyes revealed undisguised greed and yearning.

"My lord, what are we waiting for? Seeing that the weather is even colder, if you can't enter Youzhou as soon as possible to plunder, the sons and daughters of the tribe will starve and freeze! The lock slave said with a sigh.

"Let the sons endure for a few more days. The Han people have a saying that 'you can't get fat if you eat in one breath', so if we wait a few more days, we may be able to easily enter Youzhou. Kobi explained thoughtfully to the slaves.

"I know that Lord Lu Dao is waiting for news from Ning County, but you don't seem to be absolutely sure that Yan Rou will cooperate with us, in case Liu Yu buys Yan Rou with a favor, not only will we be waiting for bad news, but we will also delay the opportunity to enter Youzhou from elsewhere."

Kebi Neng was a little displeased with the doubts of his subordinates, and said with a calm face: "Suo slave, I know that there is actually a smart mind hidden under your stupid appearance, I am very happy that you can think about the problem like this, but your wisdom is not enough to lead our tribe to strength!" ”

"You don't know too little about Liu Yu and Yan Rou, and you don't understand that Han people often do things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand in order to compete for power and profit! For the sake of supreme power, the Han people are sometimes more cruel and shameless than our Xianbei people, their fathers can kill many sons with their own hands, when the sons can poison their fathers, brothers kill each other, relatives and siblings attack each other, in short, don't be deceived by their weak and kind appearance! ”

The lock slave listened to Kebineng's words, frowned and realized it carefully.

Kebi Neng pointed to the south and said proudly: "One day, I will sweep the north bank of the Yellow River with the sons of the tribe, turn all the vast and fertile land south of Danhan Mountain into our pastures, turn all Han men into our slaves, and turn Han women into our lambs!" ”

"Hehe, when the time comes, I must taste what a Han woman with fine skin and tender meat tastes like!" The slave pounded his chest as hard as iron with some excitement.

Just as Kebineng and Suo Nu were standing on the top of the mountain and imagining the future, a tribal soldier came quickly from the bottom of the mountain.

"Lord Qiqi, there are a few Wuhuan people coming down from the mountain, they claim to be from Ningcheng, and they have important letters handed over to you by hand."

"Ha Luha, it must be Yan Rou's people! Let's go, let's go down the mountain! Kebineng said excitedly.

In the big tent, a few people secretly sent by Yan Rou to Danhan Mountain met Kebineng.

"My lord, this is a handwritten letter from my family, please take a look!"

Without waiting for Kobi to signal, the slave strode up to several messengers, stretched out his big furry hand, and said in an urn voice, "Where is the letter?" Leave it to me! ”

Several people looked up at the humanoid monster in front of them, and they all felt like they were being targeted by the jungle beast, and the little Wuhuan leader in the middle hurriedly took out Yan Rou's letter from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the slaves.

"Humph! A Wuhuan man who can only lick the ass of Han people! The slave snorted heavily, and turned to present the letter to Kebineng.

Yan Rou's letters were written in Chinese characters, and he wasn't worried that Kebi would not be able to read them. The Xianbei people were originally slaves and servants of the Xiongnu, although it has been nearly a hundred years since the salted fish turned over, but unfortunately there has been no script of their own, and the leaders of the noble status of the tribes have learned the ready-made Han script.

Kebi Neng finished reading Yan Rou's letter with a blank face, looked up at a few messengers coldly, and said, "How can I believe that your family didn't set a trap with Liu Yu for me to drill?" ”

The messenger was glared at by Kebineng, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out in fright, and hurriedly explained: "My lord doesn't know, my family just fought with Liu Yu a few days ago, and he has completely broken with Liu Yu. Anyway, this time, after my lord ordered me to deliver the letter, he would immediately lead his troops to retreat north, and when the time came, he would leave an undefended Ning City, and the adults only needed to send a sentry to investigate it, and they would know whether it was true or false! ”

"Hmph, Lord Ben, I believe you are telling the truth! Come on, take these Wuhuan friends down and entertain them, and then let them go back after we take Ningcheng! ”

A few Wuhuan people who carried the letter did not dare to resist, and obediently followed the lock slave out of the city.

That night, more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry assembled ten miles west of Macheng received an order from Kebineng and withdrew cleanly overnight.

On the morning of the second day, Liu Yu, who was guarding Macheng, received news from the sentinel and learned that the Xianbei people outside the city had completely disappeared. Liu Yu was frightened and hurriedly sent three messengers to Ningcheng in the north, Gaoliu in the south, and Yunqiushui in the east.

The messenger to Ningcheng carried a handwritten letter written by Liu Yu to Yan Rou, in which Liu Yu promised that as long as Yan Rou led the army to stay in Ningcheng, he was willing to play the imperial court to watch Yan Rou as the protector of Wuhuan Sima, although it was one level worse than Yan Rou's request, but he also made a huge concession.

The messenger to Gaoliu carried a letter from Liu Yu to Wei You, in which Liu Yu strictly ordered Wei You to hold on to Liucheng no matter what, and not to go out of the city to fight, no matter what means Kebi could play.

In his letter to Cheng Xu, Liu Yu instructed Cheng Xu to set fire to the grain and grass and military resources when it was impossible to do so, and never let them fall into the hands of Yan Rou or Kebineng.

Liu Yu was able to react immediately from the sudden retreat of the Xianbei people, indicating that he was not as cowardly and short-sighted as rumored by the outside world, but his movements were still a step slower.

Before the messenger heading north reached Ning County, he was surprised to find that the Xianbei people of the brigade had already entered Ning City first! As for Yan Rou, who was originally entrenched here, he had already retreated to Guangning City, thirty miles east of Ningcheng, with all his troops.

The messenger who delivered the letter had no choice but to quickly turn the horse's head and report this important discovery to Liu Yu. After Liu Yu learned the news, his face turned pale with anger. However, being angry is angry, Liu Yu can't think of a better way to deal with this grim situation at this time, so he can only hope that Cheng Xu will return to Macheng with the grain team before Kebi can find out.

Kebineng, who had successfully entered the territory of Youzhou, was very dissatisfied with the current result, and he felt that Yan Rou had fooled him. According to the agreement, Yan Rou was supposed to lead his subordinates north into the White Mountain, but now he was guarding Guangning, which still posed a real threat to the Xianbei army.

Kebineng immediately sent people to Quang Ninh to question Yan Rou, but Yan Rou told Kebineng a major news: a grain transport team loaded with many materials was approaching Macheng!

Kebi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately ordered Suo Nu to lead five thousand Xianbei light cavalry to quickly go south, and capture all of them before the grain transportation team arrived in Macheng! Kebineng himself reorganized the main force and hid not far behind the slave, expecting Liu Yu, who was trapped in Macheng, to venture out of the city to rescue the attacked grain team.

Before the slave left, Kebi could explain again and again that he must wait until the grain team was twenty miles away from Macheng before attacking, and try to delay the battle as long as possible, make the movement bigger, and if he found that the grain team sent someone to ask for help from Macheng, do not stop it.

Kebineng's arrangement is very insidious, he wants to use the attack on the grain transportation team as bait to force Liu Yu, who is guarding the city, to come out and have a decisive battle with him. If Liu Yu came out, he would lead more than 10,000 troops to arrive in time and eat Liu Yu's main force; If Liu Yu didn't come out, he would eat the grain transport team in front of Liu Yu, and the morale of the defenders of Macheng would completely collapse at that time, and because of the lack of food, it would soon collapse.

The combat power of the Xianbei cavalry is obviously stronger than that of the Youzhou Han cavalry, and if Liu Yu hides in the city, it will be difficult for Kebineng to get benefits, which has been verified from the recent tentative attacks launched by the Xianbei people. However, if the Han army came out of the fortified city and faced the Xianbei cavalry head-on in the open wilderness, Kebi could confidently defeat twice or even three times the Han army with the existing strength.

Compared with the flexibility of the cavalry, the carriages and ox carts loaded with grain and grass were really slow, and they were even inferior to the speed of empty walking, and Xiahoulan chose the relatively safe but relatively difficult south bank, so knowing that Macheng was less than thirty miles ahead, the team that could transport grain would have to take at least a day to arrive.

At noon that day, the team stopped again to rest, and Xiahou Lan accompanied Cheng Xu and Gongsun Ji to eat some dry food and drink a few sips of cold river water.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them.

"Qiqi Xiahou Sima, there are friendly troops in the rear that are rapidly approaching!" The sentry who stayed behind arrived to report.

"Can you find out who is coming? How many people are there? Xia Houlan asked.

The sentinel reported: "The friendly forces were marching too fast to scout closely, but there were not many of them, only a few hundred. ”

"Good! Come with me to meet you! Xia Houlan immediately got up.

Not long after, Zhao Yun's vigorous figure appeared in Xia Houlan's field of vision.

Xia Houlan couldn't hide her joy and shouted loudly: "Great! It's Captain Zhao who caught up! ”

"Captain Zhao? But that Zhao Zilong, who is a hundred? Cheng Xu, who was not far from Xiahou Lan, asked Gongsun Ji in a low voice.

Gongsun Ji nodded a little reluctantly, and said disdainfully: "It's just a puppet who only knows how to kill!" Not long ago, he slaughtered a dock fort with the same surname as himself! ”
