Chapter Fifty-Six: The Angry Ambition of Tuoba

As Qin Zhen said, these party troops in the east didn't know that there was such a team as Guo Wei outside the city, and Tuoba Yewang thought that the chasing troops he sent were enough to solve the team that went out of the city, so he didn't send anyone to remind them, and they still thought that the government army in Weizhou was blocked in the city by their own thousands of people and did not dare to come out.

Therefore, when the party army in the east was escorting the looted people and grain to Weizhou City leisurely, Guo Wei led the Weizhou government soldiers to intercept halfway and save the next wave of people.

But soon the party army on the other side of the hollow tomb followed the trail, and Guo Wei could only lead everyone to make a roundabout way with the party army in the mountains east of Weizhou City.

At three o'clock, outside the city of Weizhou, Tuoba Yewang looked at his subordinates who came to restore his life, obviously trying to suppress his anger, and the eyes of the yin owl exuded a faint coldness.

"Can anyone give me an explanation?" Tuoba Yewang's tone was solemn.

These people, you look at me, I look at you, the last centurion stood up and said tremblingly: "My lord back to the commander, this time Weizhou has already prepared, we have found a lot of villages and towns, but all of them are empty. They all got the information in advance and hid, we are not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, it is a fluke to be able to find these people, and what is even more odious is that many of our teams found those people, and on the way to escort them, they were ambushed and intercepted by the Han army, which not only allowed them to save a large number of people, but also caused heavy losses to our party army. ”

Tuoba Yewang said angrily: "Didn't I ask Li Jiyuan to lead people to chase, three hundred people to chase more than a hundred people, can these cowardly Han soldiers still escape, what about Li Jiyuan, this waste?" ”

The centurion said: "I heard from his subordinates that during the pursuit of Li Jiyuan, because the other party divided his troops in the process of escaping, Li Jiyuan also divided his troops to chase, but he did not expect to fall into the tricks of the thieves, and more than 100 people led by Li Jiyuan disappeared from there. Later, this group of thieves was found by Li Jiyuan's deputy general Tuoba Xigang, Tuoba Xigang sent someone to inform Li Jiyuan and another pursuit team, but how could not find Li Jiyuan's team, Tuoba Xigang thought that Li Jiyuan brought more than 100 people had been killed in battle, and then Tuoba Xigang and another team of soldiers were united, has been following behind the gang of thieves, and sent people to notify the surrounding party and army to intercept, but the gang of thieves is extremely cunning, through the complex terrain in the mountains repeatedly escaped our encirclement and pursuit, but also let us suffer heavy casualties, I have two captains of ten who have died trying to contain them. ”

The more Tuoba Yewang listened, the more angry he became, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and the centurion was so frightened that he snorted, and gradually lost his voice.

Tuoba Yewang suddenly opened his eyes, and a ghostly light flashed: "What happened later?" Go on. ”

The centurion felt that his whole body was cold, and hurriedly said: "Last night, that group of people has been blocked into a pit by Tuoba Xigang, that place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only there is a gap in the west, because the terrain in the pit is more complicated, Tuoba Xi was afraid that he would fall into the tricks of the Han people at night, so he blocked the only gap in the west, and prepared to wait until dawn to go in and annihilate them, I think Tuoba Xigang should have annihilated this group of thieves in that depression at this time." Because I was escorting the Han people and food, I thought that I could not delay the task assigned by the adults, so I marched at night and rushed back. ”

When Tuoba heard that Tuoba Xigang had surrounded the Han soldiers into a hollow, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and his face gradually eased: "Tuoba Xigang finally didn't disappoint me, Li Jiyuan is a waste, let him take Li Jiyuan's place as soon as Tuoba Xi comes back." ”

Seeing that Tuoba Yewang's face showed signs of relief, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The personal soldiers reported that Tuoba Shou led a part of the people to come, and after a while, Tuoba Shou entered the account to return to Tuoba Yewang.

Tuoba Yewang looked at Tuoba Shou, who was a little tired, and didn't care about encouraging this subordinate who was quite satisfied with him, and hurriedly asked, "How is the harvest?" ”

Tuoba Shou's face was ashamed: "Tuoba Shou has been cultivated by a thousand masters, please punish the adults." ”

Tuoba Yewang's face, which had just eased up, was suddenly covered with frost, and he said sharply: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"In order to complete the task assigned by the adults as soon as possible, more search for the Han people, we divided our sergeants into a team of more than a dozen people, I didn't expect these Han troops to be cunning and insidious, they took advantage of the lack of combat strength of our troops, ambushed our lone squad, these Han troops are not only cunning, but also extremely fierce, fell into their hands of our party sergeants none of them lived, our squad in order to find the Han people, far away from each other, and there is no contact with each other, so we didn't find out until yesterday that something was wrong, We designed an anti-ambush circle, trying to wipe out this group of people, but we didn't expect them to be very vigilant, and they escaped at a critical moment, and later found that they had killed dozens of squads of our party's Xiang army in two days, and even the number one master in our army, Tuoba Tong, was also killed by them. Tuoba Shou lowered his head, not daring to look at Tuoba Yewang's iron-blue face at all.

Hearing Tuoba Shou's narration, Tuoba Yewang went from anger to anger to rage to rage.

Tuoba Tong is brave and unparalleled, he is the first fierce general under him, and now Tuoba Shou actually said that he died, and he died in the Han territory that he despised the most, and died in Weizhou, where those soldiers hid in the city wall like quails, which made him feel a little dreamy for a while, so that he wondered if he was hallucinating.

"There are only more than 100 people running out of Weizhou City, basically not out of Tuoba Xigang's tracking, last night was blocked by Tuoba Xigang into a depression, where did you come from the Han sergeant in the west, could it be that he fell from the sky?" Tuoba Yewang's voice was a little hoarse.

"Based on our last battle at that time, it is almost certain that they should be the same group that stopped us in Beishan and then fled from Tong'an Town into the mountains."

"Are you saying that they only had more than 50 people, first delayed the pace of our party's army in Beishan, and then went to the mountains west of Weizhou City to ambush and kill more than 100 people of our party, including Tuoba Tong?" Tuoba Yewang's voice seemed to come from Jiuyou, cold without the slightest emotion, even anger was gone.

Tuoba Shou trembled: "Yes!" ”

"Waste, waste, all are waste, Li Jiyuan is waste, Tuoba Tong is waste, you Tuoba Shou is even more waste, the Han army of more than 50 people actually made you deflated twice, and also took the lives of more than 100 sons of my party, what use do I keep you?"

As he spoke, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist, and with a knife down, blood splashed everywhere, and the head of the centurion Tuoba Shou gurgled several times.

The rest of the people in the tent were all prostrate on the ground in fright, their whole faces pressed against the ground, as if they wanted to bury their whole heads in the soil, holding their breath and concentrating, not even daring to breathe too loudly, lest Tuoba Ambition notice him.

Tuoba Yewang started too fast just now, and before everyone had time to plead, Tuoba Shou's head had already fallen, of course, in that case just now, they didn't dare to intercede for Tuoba Shou, which annoyed Tuoba Yewang, and even cut off his own head together, at this time saving his life is the most important thing.

There was silence in the tent, except for the wheezing of Tuoba Ambition and the sound of the scimitar in its sheath.

After killing Tuoba Shou, Tuoba Yewang felt that his anger had evacuated a lot, looking at the subordinates below who buried their heads like ostriches, Tuoba Yewang couldn't help but regret that he was a little impulsive, he shouldn't have killed Tuoba Shou like this, Tuoba Shou was one of his most powerful subordinates, Tuoba Tong died, Li Jiyuan died, and now Tuoba Shou was killed by himself, and there were fewer and fewer people available to him.

Tuoba Yewang understands that this defeat cannot be entirely due to Tuoba Shou's head, but who let Tuoba Shou catch up, and if he doesn't let Tuoba Shou take the blame, will he stand up and admit his mistake? How can you be wrong as a superior, the superior is always wise and always right, so that he can maintain his majesty in front of his subordinates and make his subordinates fear him.

People have also been killed, and power has also been cast, and now it is time for him to show his grace, and the combination of grace and power is the means that a superior person should have.

"Get up, I can't blame you all for this incident." Tuoba Yewang's hoarse voice at this time was like heaven.

"Master Xie Qianfu!" Those subordinates who were prostrate on the ground and trembling and sifting the chaff were like being amnestied, and they got up on the ground one by one, and their eyes looked at Tuoba Yewang with more awe.

Tuoba Yewang said slowly: "The Han people are cunning, the occasional defeat is nothing, the initiative is still in our hands, Weizhou City is pouring in tens of thousands of people at one time, I want to see when their grain can support the road, when they run out of grain and grass, I want to make Weizhou a dead city." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"It's all to blame for the incompetence of his subordinates, who let this gang of thieves escape."

"With adults in charge, we will be able to break this small Weizhou City."

"On the day the city is broken, the subordinates will kill a river of blood to eliminate the hatred in the hearts of adults!"

A sound of praise sounded, and the quiet tent just now became lively, as for Tuoba Shou had been dragged out by his own soldiers, they who were still sad about the rabbit and the fox just now seemed to have forgotten Tuoba Shou at this moment, or they deliberately did not dare to think about it.

"Report, Lord Li Jiquan is here to restore his life!" The soldiers came in to report, and the big tent instantly fell silent.

"Call him in!" Then, Tuoba Yewang said to himself: "There is a Han army in the south, a Han army in the west, and there should always be a harvest in the east." ”

Li Jiquan came in and bowed, and before Li Jiquan got up, Tuoba Yewang asked, "Say, what's the situation over there?" ”

Li Jiquan said: "We respectfully obeyed the instructions of the elder Qianfu and went to various villages and towns in the east to look for people, but we didn't expect that the people there seemed to have gotten the news in advance and had fled in advance. ”

Tuoba Yewang interrupted Li Jiquan: "Don't say these useless, just talk about the result." ”

"Yes, we dispersed the team, and finally lived up to the thousands of people, and found some Han people, but I didn't expect to encounter an ambush by the Han army on the way, and some people were rescued, but the loss was not very large, and then Tuoba Xi just led people to chase over, and they continued to escape."
