A gust of wind blew, and the dust in the sky was like a heavy yellow curtain, covering all the horsemen, so that all the cavalry involuntarily lowered their heads, and the wind and sand rolled away, revealing the cavalrymen dressed in gray again, and their black armor seemed to be dyed with a layer of yellow paint.

"Poof, poof, puff 1

"This ghost weather 1 Yuwen Boyan looked up at the scorching sun overhead, this is really ghost weather, the autumn sun is so hot that people are covered in oil, and with the addition of this dust, it is all mud!

Spit out the mud and sand in his mouth, Yuwen Boyan beckoned, and the deputy general Gu Chen hurriedly ran up, Gu Chen is a descendant of Wuhuan, a young general who learned from the Military Academy, and he was only recently assigned to Yuwen Boyan.

"General."

"Where have we been?"

"General, it's not far from Shangyi, it's probably more than thirty miles."

"Then let's hurry up, I'm camping in Shangyi today, is General Yu Ban already in Shangyi?"

"Shangyi, Erru, and Xinghe were all handed over the day before yesterday, and General Yu Ban set out from Macheng, the distance is very close, and he should have been stationed in Shangyi."

"Well, let's go, set up camp early today, set off in the early morning tomorrow morning, and strive to reach Jining 1 in the evening

"No! General, why did the lord arrange our garrison in Jining instead of Yanbei City, north of Yinshan? ”

"The water source of Yanbei City has dried up, and the population has been evacuated, don't you know?"

"I know, but our garrison should still be okay, just dig a well to get water, isn't it better to garrison north of Yinshan?"

"Huh. General Zheluo will advance from Kangbao to Shangdu, strategically to prevent Helian from fleeing eastward, but General Zheluo has never been an honest man. Who knows if he will run to Helian's house? ”

"Oh, I see, we are going to attract Helian to the south, and then General Zheluo will copy Helian's back road."

"Hehe, I understand, the most troublesome thing for Xianbei people is not how much they can fight, but how much they can run. If you don't pay attention to them, they will travel thousands of miles, and it is useless to kill their troops, the key is to end their lair! This time there was a great drought in the grasslands. The Hu people have no livelihood, so they can only move south to rob us Han people of food, this is the time when their lair is closest to us, and we can't miss it in vain. ”

Yuwen Boyan nodded. Another puff of sand and dust blew through. He quickly shut his mouth.

"This ghost place, Lu Bu is really bad, Kangbao and Yongning in the west of Fengning were established almost at the same time, and now Kangbao is prosperous and prosperous, look at here, it's like a desert."

"General, you have wronged Lu Bu, Lu Bu is in the Central Plains. This is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Liao, and. It was originally a rich pasture, but it was destroyed by a locust plague, and when winter comes, a heavy snow falls, and next spring it will be a beautiful grassland1

"! You think I don't understand the economy, I often follow Zitai, and the lord used to always talk about it, natural animal husbandry depends on the sky to eat, and when there is a natural disaster, you look at Kangbao and Yongning, they all use fixed animal husbandry, the pasture grass is artificially planted, plus the continuous improvement of water conservancy facilities and windbreak forests, you see how much they can lose in this drought? Compare it with the scene in front of you to know who will govern! Therefore, it is said that Youzhou is governed by the lord, which is the blessing of tens of millions of people in Youzhou1

"Hey, the general said 1

"Originally, do you need to agree? Tell your parents that you can rest assured that you will expand your planting, and the lord said that no matter how much food you grow, you will not lose money, and you will be right to listen to the lord1

"Well, got it1

When he arrived at Shangyi, the time was only at the end, the sun was still hanging high, Yu Ban greeted Yuwen Boyan outside the city, Yuwen Boyan was a veteran of Youzhou, Yu Ban still maintained the necessary respect, and Yuwen Boyan was also a stronger general than him, Yu Ban didn't dare to take it big.

"Wen Ze, I'll go into the city with you after I arrange to set up camp, you can go back to the city first."

"There is no need to set up camp, you all go into the city and camp, and now Shangyi City is almost empty1

"Huh?! Zhang Liaoan dared to do this1 Yuwen Boyan was furious, and Yu Ban hurriedly explained with a smile.

"General Yuwen misunderstood, it was not Zhang Liao who took the people away, but according to the order of Tian Yu Taishou, I concentrated the population of Shangyi, Ruhe and Xinghe to Xinghe City, where the geographical location is the best, the water source is abundant, the potential of the field is also large, and the distance from Macheng is relatively short, Lord Tian Yu means to concentrate the population and find a way to upgrade Xinghe to a third-level town as soon as possible1

"Oh, I see, the lord likes to do this the most, but I can't imagine what Lu Bu has been doing in Yanmen North for so many years, these cities are still the same as they were, and they haven't been upgraded at all."

"Hehe, this last general doesn't understand1

The two men marched into the city and convened their respective staff groups for the first military meeting.

"According to the concept of the Army General Staff, we will retreat a little in the early stage to attract the Xianbei people to the south of Yinshan, our bottom line is Jining, but it is difficult to ensure that the Xianbei people will not attack Dingxiang to the west, but that has nothing to do with us, Wen Ze Your troops should divide a group to go north to Jining as soon as possible."

"Understand, I will personally go north to Jining for defense, and I can hand it over to the deputy general here, Zhang Liao will definitely not dare to play tricks at this time."

"Well, that's okay, I'm more at ease when I'm in Jining, my troops will operate between Jining and military dignitaries, mainly to contain the Xianbei people's troops, so as not to let them be too rampant, and then it's up to Zheluo's actions."

"General Yuwen, the lord said that you have a special army here?"

"Yes, it's a non-fighting army, and their task is to tell the Xianbei people that if they put down their weapons and hand over their war horses, they can get food and land, hehe1

"No wonder Lord Tian Yu asked us to escort so much grain and grass to the north, and I said that I was going to fight for a few years?"

Yu Ban suddenly realized, Yuwen Boyan laughed, patted Yu Ban's shoulder affectionately and said: "The lord will never fight like this, this battle will be known in two months, and there will be no company north of Yinshan in the future, only the rangers of our Han Dynasty." ”

"Rangers? Don't we occupy the north of Yinshan? ”

"Isn't our territory big enough? Let's make a hunting ground for the time being1

"The hunting ground? Understood, attract Hexi Xianbei to the east, Mobei Xiongnu to the south, and then gradually win over and attack these tribes and annex their population? ”

"That's right! Wen Ze has a deep understanding of the strategy of the lord1

Yu Ban smiled, his eyes were full of admiration, the lord's chessboard is very large, and the courage to play chess is also very great, like the large land north of Yinshan, in the eyes of the lord, it is a small chess, and it is also put away, so it was made into a hunting ground, and the idea was both wonderful and bold.

"When Wen Ze goes north, you might as well make a big splash, and it's best to let everyone know that you have transported a large amount of grain to Jining."

"General Yuwen wants to use Jining's grain to lure Helian?"

"That's right! As long as Helian is attracted to Jining, our department will take the opportunity to feint at the Yinshan checkpoint, make a posture of wanting to close the door and fight the dog, and force Helian's headquarters to go south. ”

"Understand, in this case, will the defense facilities of Jining City be a little insufficient, just in case of these grains?"

"Jining is a first-class town, and there are indeed problems with defense, but the Hu people don't have many means to attack the city, as long as you arrive in Jining like this, and also, it is to make full use of the power of the Inhumans, you should have seen the battle of the two estuaries of the lord in the staff headquarters, and the lord wiped out hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Dongxianbei with one camp.1

Yu Ban's eyes lit up, his chest straightened, and he nodded: "The last general understands, General Yuwen can rest assured, Jining will definitely not lose 1."

"Hehe, in fact, there is no problem if Jining is lost, as long as you put those things in the grain and grass when you retreat."

"The last will understand1

Yuwen Boyan smiled, he actually wanted to see what the effect of the trick used by the lord would be, I heard that it was very fun!

After resting until the early hours of the morning, when the sky was still full of stars, Yuwen Boyan's cavalry set off, after sufficient rest, the cavalry were in good condition, and there was no hot sun, so the cavalry hurried to hurry.

Ten in the evening, Yuwen Boyan arrived outside Jining City, Cheng Lian and Yuwen Boyan who stayed in Jining City politely carried out the handover ceremony, rested for a night, the next day, Cheng Lian and Yuwen Boyan rushed to the Yinshan Pass together, after the last handover, Cheng Lian led the army to return south, so far, all the places north of Yanmen Pass are assigned to the jurisdiction of Dai County.

In fact, if it weren't for the strong wind and sand on the road and the need to look for water sources everywhere, the vanguard of Helian should have arrived earlier.

Now because of the drought, the Han people have fully withdrawn from the north of Yinshan, which makes Helian have joy and sorrow, the joy is that the boundary north of Yinshan has returned to his hands, worry about how to survive the drought, think about it and only use the old way, that is, to rob the Han people, I heard that Zhang Liao of Bingzhou is in a civil war with Gongsun Zhan, and now the north is empty, it is a good time for him to go south to loot and even recapture Bullet Khan Mountain.

It's just that He Lian didn't know that the enemy in front of him had quietly changed to their old friend of Xianbei, Lord Dark Devil!

And the company's scout troops tentatively attacked, but were forced back by the dense heavy crossbows, soon after, the forward cavalry arrived, and soon organized the troops to attack the checkpoint, after the Han army resisted for a while, seeing that the number of Xianbei people was too much, they actually took advantage of the battle gap to slip away from the pass, and the Xianbei people easily took the Yinshan pass and opened the way to the south.

Immediately the Xianbei people while consolidating the camp at the checkpoint, while scattering the scouts, soon the news came, because of the drought, Yanmen North also suffered from the invasion of locusts, the herdsmen outside the city are concentrated in the city, in order to let these people who have lost their cattle and sheep and land crops live, the Han people in the south have transported a large number of grain, and now they are concentrated in Jining City, this news was transmitted to the front of Helian for the first time.

"Good! That's great! Attack Jining! Attack Jining now! As long as we take Jining, we will have 1 unfinished food for the winter. . .
