The first battle was won, and the happiest was Beiyi, who slaughtered thousands of cattle and sheep that night and feasted Zhong Jiajun, which was regarded as a celebration banquet for them.

Kun Yucheng poured a full wine and saluted Qin Yizhong, and the joy on his face couldn't be hidden: "General Qin is really like a god!" ”

"This is still He Yu's idea, General Kun Yu is praising the wrong person."

Qin Yizhong smiled, and also held a large bowl in the direction of Kun Yucheng, drank all the wine inside, and took advantage of Kun Yucheng's eyes to turn to He Yu, clicked on an acupuncture point on his neck, and quietly spit out the wine.

"He Junshi is a great talent!" Kun Yucheng didn't see Qin Yizhong's small movements, and gave another toast to He Yu.

He Yu replaced the wine with tea, and said modestly: "It's just a small plan, and it is the Tuoba Rock that underestimates the enemy that will succeed so easily." ”

"He Junshi is too humble!" Kun Yucheng didn't want to say some twists and turns with him, so he turned the topic and asked, "What are you going to do with those Xirong people who have descended?" ”

"These captives were all handed over to the Prairie Royal Court, but we still need these people to be useful later, I wonder if General Kunyu is willing to hand over these people to us to deal with?" He Yu said extremely politely, and raised Kun Yucheng in his position between words.

In fact, these captives were captured by the Zhong family, and it is understandable for the Zhong family army to deal with them, but He Yu's attitude fiercely satisfied Kun Yucheng's mentality of wanting to step on Dayu, and Kun Yucheng naturally agreed again and again, and praised each other, which can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.

At night, in addition to the soldiers who were on vigil and patrolling in spirit, only Qin Yizhong and He Yu discussed in the military tent.

"I didn't drink that wine, but the brothers drank a few sips, and I don't know if it will be a mistake."

He Yu smiled: "You are really careful, it's a pity that you missed the good wine in vain." This wine is not poisonous, and Kun Yucheng is not so stupid. ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Qin Yizhong said. If he hadn't been cautious all the time, he might have lost his life a long time ago.

He Yu usually follows the king of Zhenbei. King Zhenbei acted boldly, which was very different from Qin Yizhong's careful and steady style, which made him a little unaccustomed, but this was his personal style, and he didn't say much, signaling Qin Yizhong to start talking about business.

"All the forward troops of Xirong have been captured by us, and it will take a few days for Xirong to get the news, and then it will take at least ten days to send reinforcements or negotiate peace and rescue people... What are your plans? ”

He Yu said with a look of "how could you ask such a question?" and said, "Isn't it fragrant to eat his cattle and sheep in Beiyi for ten days?" ”

Qin Yizhong rolled his eyes: "Just say it." If you, He Yu, are willing to stay in this grassland for one more day, I, Qin Yizhong, will be able to single-handedly take the head of Prince Xirong. ”

"Hey! You'd be wrong this time! He Yu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have seen the picture of Qin Yizhong screwing off Prince Xirong's head: "I'm really happy to stay in Beiyi." ”

"Although we must always guard against Beiyi, who made the Xirong front stretch so long? For ten whole days, tens of thousands of brothers' rations will cost a lot! And we also captured the Tuoba Rock ......"

Qin Yizhong raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with Tuoba Rock?" What's the head? ”

He Yu took a bronze mirror and took it up: "My face of Xirong is really easy to use~"

"What do you know?" Qin Yizhong followed and looked at He Yu in the bronze mirror.

"Tuoba Yan is the youngest son of the Xirong veteran Tuoba Lin." He Yu put down the bronze mirror and focused on the three words "most proud": "Tuoba Lin is guarding the rear." ”

"Tuoba Lin will not give up his proudest youngest son." Qin Yizhong followed his train of thought and continued: "So whether Xirong is preparing to strengthen the army and suppress the territory, or exchange conditions, as long as Tuoba Rock is in our hands, we will have the upper hand." ”

He Yu nodded, and said with a pure smile: "So we just need to wait now, wait on the grassland." ”

·

If the information is accurate, He Yu and the others have already driven Xirong out of the Beiyi grassland, but unfortunately this information has missed the most important point.

Tuoba Lin has been so anxious in recent days that he has received the news of his son's abduction, but the king still hasn't given the order, and he doesn't even seem to have the slightest intention of saving Tuoba Yan.

"Husband, what should we do!" Mrs. Tuoba had not slept well for several days, and her eyes were black and swollen with tears.

"Don't worry, madam, we'll wait another day at most, if the king hasn't given the order yet... We'll go by ourselves! Say that you have to save Ah Yan back! ”

Although Tuoba Lin said firmly, his heart became more and more heavy.

Their strategy of invading the steppe was to use Tuoba Rock as the vanguard, clearing all obstacles first, and he was stationed at the junction of Xirong and Beiyi as a reserve army in order to reinforce in time. If this is the case, on the first day he receives the news, he will lead the army to the battle, whether it is a strong army or a quid pro quo, he will bring his son back.

But the king came with him! With the determination to win the Beiyi, guard the rear with him!

This is equivalent to setting aside his rights as a general, it's okay if there is nothing to do, he is happy and idle, but when something happens, he only hates that he has no rights in his hands!

But fortunately, things did not go to the worst step, at sunset, came the king's will, ordering him to lead his troops around the area of Thumb Mountain, along the Beichuan River, all the way down, directly occupy the eastern part of Beiyi.

Tuoba Lin pondered for a while and discussed with his lieutenant: "What do you think the king's move means?" ”

The adjutant general, Wanyan Hongda, pondered for a moment and replied carefully: "Didn't the king want to attack the west?" If we go to harass the eastern part of Beiyi, Beiyi will have to turn its forces to the east, then the troops in the west will be greatly reduced, and when the time comes, not to mention rescuing the little general, it will not be a problem to completely occupy the west. ”

After what Yan Hongda said, Tuoba Lin also thought of it, but he still frowned, and said a possibility that Yan Hongda thought of but deliberately avoided: "I'm afraid that the king wants to divide the forces of the Beiyi tribes, and when the time comes, the east and west of Beiyi will be surrounded by my Xirong, as long as you don't care about Ah Yan and other captive soldiers, you can directly point to the grassland royal court." ”

"The King... I don't want to give up the lives of the soldiers. Wanyan Hongda comforted. But thinking of the ruthless and warlike King Xirong, he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

Tuoba Lin pursed his mouth into a line, deduced various plans in his heart, and after a while, he said: "You go down and arrange the soldiers, and we will go to the east." ”

"Okay." Wanyan Hongda pressed his heart with his right hand and bent down to salute.

He was not surprised by the decision to Tuoba Rock Forest. Tuoba Lin was still a junior general in his thirties, and it was not until the war with Dayu more than ten years ago that Xirong sacrificed too many generals with great achievements, so he was promoted after ranking seniors. He knows too well that it is not easy to get out, and he also knows too well the consequences of disobeying the king.

But Wanyan Hongda didn't expect that a person could die many times in the harsh battlefield, and go through ups and downs in the deceitful officialdom, how could there be no little Jiujiu in his heart.

Tuoba Lin looked at Yan Hongda's back when he went out, rubbed his fingertips and carefully studied his plan, and after confirming that it was correct, he called his wife to quickly pack his luggage and let her join the army to conquer the eastern part of Beiyi.
