Tuoba Hong thought for a while, and said—

The ministers believed that the Northern Dynasty was the land of China, and the army was mostly foot soldiers, and the foot soldiers were inferior to the cavalry in the grassland, so the remnants of the Xiongnu, who also used cavalry as the main force, were more threatening, but the sons believed that such a view was only superficial. Although the Xiongnu is imminent, but it is only a skin problem; although the Northern Dynasty is far away, but it is a great enemy, especially since Emperor Shuo succeeded to the throne of the Northern Dynasty, the strength of the Northern Dynasty has been increasing, the economy is prosperous, the military is strong, and the day before yesterday I was more convinced of this, if we let it go, after the Northern Dynasty unified China, we may not be able to go south......"

Tuoba Yan looked at Tuoba Hong, who was talking eloquently in front of him, and a shocked look appeared on his face.

Slowly walked down the sweat seat, put his hands on Tuoba Hong's shoulders, looked up at Tuoba Hong, who was already half a head taller than himself, and said earnestly-

"You are the best of my many children, and you will be the best of all Xianbei Khans, and Xianbei's future depends on you......"

----------------

At dusk, the sun sets.

Tuoba Hong walked out of the main hall, looked at the palace behind him, recalled what his father said to him, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then looked to the south, thinking that maybe there was a group of people staying in the palace at this time, discussing how to capture Yanzhou......

Tuoba Hong patted his armor and walked towards his mansion, suddenly, a chill swept through Tuoba Hong's body, Tuoba Hong turned around and looked back, and found that there was no one behind him......

Tuoba Hong walked away, thinking that maybe it was the bleak north wind that made him so......

In the shadow of the palace, a strange figure gradually appeared, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked at the distant back, which was full of murderous intent......

------------------

[The next day, the main hall of the Yanzhou Khan's Palace]

"Ahem......"

Tuoba who was sitting on the top couldn't stop coughing, his face became more and more pale, and after barely calming down with the help of the maid, he looked at the Xianbei ministers sitting in the hall and said-

"I convened you today mainly to find out what you think about the future actions of the Northern Dynasty, and how should we deal with it?"

As soon as the words fell, the ministers sitting in the hall began to talk and talk, and after a long time, an old minister came out and said-

"Yu Khan, the old man thinks that although we attacked Wang Li's army in the Northern Dynasty, after all, it was Wang Li who invaded our territory first, and the Northern Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty have always been at odds. ”

After saying that, the ministers nodded yes one after another. After Tuoba Yan glanced around, he stopped his gaze on the two people who behaved differently from the ministers, and said-

"Tuoba Hong, Tuoba Jue, what do you two think?"

The two of them went out together, and Tuoba Hong took the lead in saying-

"Father Khan, the son thinks that the king of the Northern Dynasty, Emperor Shuo, is absolutely unusual, and cannot use ordinary thinking to conceive his actions, if it is a son, the son will take this opportunity to take the sixteen states of Yanyun with lightning speed before the Southern Dynasty sends troops, and then defend the city. ”

Tuoba, who was standing on the other side, then said, "Erchen agrees with what the eldest brother said. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince......"

The old minister who had spoken before turned to Tuoba Hong and continued: "You must know that fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers, and the old man asserts that the Northern Dynasty will not send a large army to fight. ”

......

Just as the Xianbei ministers were once again in a state of controversy, a soldier ran in from outside the hall in a panic.

"Border Pass Emergency", the armor ran to the center of the main hall, knelt down on one knee, helped the helmet that had fallen crooked due to fast running, and continued: "Yu Khan, Border Pass Emergency, the Northern Dynasty sent troops to Yanzhou......"

"How many soldiers and horses are there, and who will be the master?" said Tuoba Burning.

"From a distance, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty are pressed by the black, boundless, I am afraid that there are more than 400,000, and the commander is the emperor Shuo......"

--------------

[Dusk, the big tent of the Northern Dynasty military camp]

Emperor Shuo wears armor and sits on the top position, if the usual Emperor Shuo is like a pampered and cold aristocratic son, then the current Emperor Shuo is more like a battlefield general whose face does not change when Mount Tai collapses in front of him.

"The generals should perform their duties and be careful according to the arrangement of this king, and if there is nothing else, they should step back first. ”

"Wow. The generals replied in unison and slowly retreated.

Just as the generals withdrew from the tent, two figures dressed in the same standard as the generals but with more high-end armor entered the tent.

"The last general, Qin Yao (Xu Wei), see Wang. Qin Yao and Xu Wei came to the front of the handsome case, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison.

"Get up, how is the task that the king has sent to you two? ”

"On the king", Xu Wei arched his hand and said: "The sentinels sent by the last general have all returned to the camp, and no traces of the Xianbei army have been found. ”

Di Shuo nodded and looked at Qin Yao.

"Your Majesty, the last general led the army to guard the grain road, and now the grain has been safely transported to the camp, and it has not been stopped by the Xianbei army on the way. ”

"Very good, what news is there from the old general Wei Chi. Di Shuo picked up the bamboo slip on the handsome case and asked the two in front of him.

The two generals looked at each other, and then Xu Wei came out of the queue -

"General Wei Chi came with news today, saying that he has captured most of the cities in the north of Yanzhou, and the resistance of the Xianbei army encountered is not tenacious, and the losses are less, but the old general Wei Chi found that Yanzhou City seems to have a large number of troops, coupled with the strict defense of Yanzhou City, it may be difficult to capture it in a short time, so the old general suggested that he and our army should encircle Yanzhou in the north and south, and attack the Xianbei army that is still in the field and come to the rescue. ”

Di Shuo put down the bamboo slip and muttered in a low voice: "In this way, what is said on this bamboo slip is true......

"Xu Wei", Di Shuo raised his head and said: "My 430,000 army has been on the expedition for more than a month, recovering most of the cities in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the momentum is monstrous, but so far I have not encountered the main force of Xianbei. Xianbei has a total of 280,000 troops in the south, and it is impossible for them all to be stationed in Yanzhou City, what do you think?"

Xu Wei thought for a while and said slowly-

"The sixteen states of Yanyun are hilly areas, which are not conducive to large-scale cavalry battles, and although the sixteen states of Yanyun are in the hands of Xianbei, they are mostly Chinese, and most of the cities have our army, so the last general guessed that Xianbei may want to transfer the main battlefield to the northern grassland, where it will fight a decisive battle with our army. ”

"It makes a little sense only militarily......"

Di Shuo looked at Xu Wei and continued-

"But if our army returns to the dynasty after capturing the sixteen states of Yanyun, won't Xianbei lose this large territory in vain......

"Qin Yao, what do you think?" Di Shuo continued, but found that there was no response, looked in the direction of Qin Yao, and found that Qin Yao lowered his head slightly, his eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about other things.

Seeing this, Xu Wei secretly patted Qin Yao's back with his hand. Qin Yao came back to his senses, and his gaze happened to meet Di Shuo.

Qin Yao hurriedly knelt down and asked for sin: "The last general is out of shape, please punish the king." ”

Di Shuo looked at Qin Yao and said loudly: "Xu Wei, you step back first." ”

Xu Wei looked at Di Shuo, who had a cold expression, and then at Qin Yao, who was kneeling on one knee, and stopped talking, and then surrendered.
