When they joined up with the large forces of the Zhenxi Army, they found that Wu Ti's 25,000 men and horses had really been defeated as Ying Feng said. It's just that Wu Ti didn't die, and took advantage of the chaos to escape under the protection of the guards.

Under careful questioning, it turned out that Tuoba Tao learned the method of inviting rain, changed into a clean set of armor, and lied that the Chinese army of Dawei Dingzhong had arrived, Yu Zhijin was dead, and Da Tan was defeated.

Wu Ti saw that Tuoba Tao was not only unscathed, but even the armor on his body was shiny. When he saw Yu Zhijin's head again, he believed it and fled without a fight. It's a pity that the men and horses he brought didn't escape as fast as him, and almost all of them were left behind by the Zhenxi army.

In this battle, although the Zhenxi Army suffered a lot of casualties, especially nearly 4,000 elites. But it can be regarded as a fruitful harvest. At least the full armor of the 2,500 sets of heavy cavalry was a rich overnight fortune for the poor army of the Zhenxi Army.

Knowing that Da Tan had fled back to Rouran, Tuoba Tao laughed heartily, "It's just a group of worms, still trying to spread wilderness on my territory!" Sooner or later, one day, I will lead a large army and set foot on the soft ground! ”

In August of the second year of the Shiguang of the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, in 424 AD, the state capitals of the Wei border began to raise troops. In early September, the first conscripted military families arrived at the barracks. Emperor Wei Tuoba Tao officially ordered the northern expedition to Rouran.

Although it was a conscription of military households throughout the territory, most of the conscripted ones were sent to the Zhenxi Army barracks. This time, the Zhenxi Army followed His Majesty's personal expedition, won more with less, and repelled the sneak attack of the Rouran people, but it made a great contribution. The Zhenxi Army, which was originally rarely cared about, became fragrant and sweet overnight.

Many Xianbei nobles and clan children expressed their loyalty to His Majesty, saying that they were willing to lead the Zhenxi Army to the north to conquer Rouran. There are also many people who have left the relationship of clan love. Tuoba Tao's lone army went deep into the enemy, if it weren't for Zong Ai's immediate reaction and asking Tan for help, I'm afraid that Tuoba Tao's body would be buried now.

Although Tuoba Tao did not clearly appreciate the love of the sect, he did give him a lot of good things in private. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this time, Zong Ai has become an irreplaceable celebrity in front of Emperor Wei. If you ask him to say a good word, it will be useful to others.

The Xianbei clan sent people to tie up with Zong Ai, wanting to get a position in the Zhenxi Army, but Zong Ai politely refused. It's not that he is arrogant, but that Zong Ai knows that in this battle, Emperor Wei has made up his mind to conquer in person. Even Cui Situ wrote several times to persuade him, but his majesty rejected it.

Since it is a personal expedition, the Dingzhong army will definitely be dispatched a group, and the rest will rely on the Zhenxi army to act as the main force. At this time, if His Majesty is still reluctant to intervene in his own people to enter the barracks, but allows the aristocratic clan to take advantage of the loophole, then he, the emperor, will not be able to do it for long.

Due to his meritorious service, Emperor Wei took the opportunity to reward a lot of good weapons and armor to the Zhenxi army. In the battle with Rouran, he grabbed a lot of good things. The Zhenxi Army can be regarded as completely turned over, and even Lu Zhen, who is usually cautious, is so happy that he gets drunk!

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed in the battle of Interception Rouran. In the past few days, Tuoba Tao has tried his best to avoid Tan Zhaoyu. I'm afraid I'll anger her again.

Tuoba Tao knew in his heart that this time he had won very lucky. But at the same time, he also felt that he was the true dragon son of heaven who was ordered by heaven, and his luck was naturally good. Even God wouldn't watch him lose to a bunch of creeps.

In addition, the congratulatory watches sent by the DPRK and China in the past few days are all praising his clever calculation, bravery, and fearlessness, winning more with less, and surprising. In particular, he killed the enemy general with an arrow in front of the battle, which was even more exaggerated. He was also fluttering with praise, thinking that this was the case.

felt that he was right, so Tuoba Tao was no longer frightened, holding an imperial treasure knife, and went to invite rain with a spring breeze on his face.

Seeing Tuoba Tao enter the tent, Invite Yu just raised his eyes coldly and swept it, then lowered his head to look at the bamboo slip in his hand.

"I heard that when Xian Ji was fighting the worm that day, she didn't have a weapon in her hand, so I sent you a good knife today." Tuoba Tao said as he pulled the treasure knife out of its scabbard and handed it to Invite Yu to see.

Invite Yu took a look, it was indeed a good knife. The body of the Wei knife is long, somewhat like a sword. But the back of the knife is wide and thick, and the tip of the knife is slightly curved. Fighting on the battlefield is much more practical than a sword. At least it won't be like Tangxi's sword, not to mention the edge of the edge after the killing, and the tip of the sword was broken in the end. The long knife is more portable than the iron lance, and it can also be worn close to the body by inviting rain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Invite Yu nodded, and accepted it.

Tuoba Tao touched his nose, a little embarrassed, he thought that Invite Yu would be very happy, but Invite Yu just thanked him without being salty, and said no more.

"Are you mad?" Tuoba Tao said tentatively.

Invite Yu still didn't say a word.

Tuoba Tao was a little annoyed, these days, everyone is holding him and boasting, how can anyone be like Tan Yuyu, who doesn't even give him a good face!

Tuoba Tao slapped the desk and shouted, "I know what you're thinking! But now it's me who wins. It was the worms who were repulsed! ”

Invite Yu but didn't scare him, "In that case, why should Your Majesty be angry?" ”

Tuoba Tao stood up and flicked his sleeves, and said angrily, "I'm angry that you're rude!" Where is the annoyance! ”

Invite Yu nodded nonchalantly, "Okay." Let's just take it as such. ”

"You!" Tuoba Tao was so angry that he pointed at Invite Yu and couldn't speak, "I'm too lazy to bother with you!" After saying that, he hurried out of the tent that invited the rain.

Invite Yu snorted coldly, "Being so breathless shows that he hasn't learned a lesson from the previous battle." ”

Mo Yao was a little afraid, "Xian Ji knows that this Wei Emperor has a temper at all, and you still stimulate him. ”

Sister Tangxi smiled and said to Mo Yao, "Don't worry." Now Emperor Wei is still counting on Xian Ji to stabilize the army's heart, and he will not do anything to hurt Xian Ji. ”

Invite Yu looked at Tang Xidao, "You can see it." ”

Tang Xi leaned over and saluted, "Xian Ji has won the award." There are soldiers at the gate of our camp every day who come to bow down. At this time, if Xian Ji has any accidents, it is strange that the army's heart is not shaken. ”

Mo Yao also nodded, "A group of recruits entered the camp yesterday. The first thing I did was to come and bow down at the gate of our camp. It can be seen how convinced they are of Xian Ji now. ”

Invite Yu didn't expect that things would become today's situation by mistake. She really didn't want to help Tuoba Tao expand her territory. If it weren't for the suspicion that the master was in the territory of Rouran, Invite Yu would have run away a long time ago.

Invite Yu looked outside, and said a little anxiously, "You go to the camp gate to see, why Zimo went to pick up He Lu and hasn't come back yet." Mo was stopped by the guards. ”

Tang Xi said with a smile, "The guards won't stop anyone who wants to stop Xianji's people." But she still followed her words and went out to wait for Zimo at the gate of the camp.

After a while, Tangxi returned, with a herald of Tuobatao.

"Xian Ji, Qiu Chi sent an envoy to visit Xian Ji. At this time, he has been invited to the handsome tent. His Majesty sent a villain to inform Xian Ji, if Xian Ji is free, she can go to the Shuai tent and talk to the envoy of Qiu Chi. ”

Invite Yu frowned, what does Tuoba Tao mean? She and her courtiers no longer have the right to speak in private?
