In the winter of the first year of Datong, the grassland in western Sichuan suffered a snowstorm, and many small tribes began to loosen up and ask Daxuan to be attached, and Di Xin, who was stationed in Jinchuan, strictly followed the imperial court's recruitment policy, and appeased a large number of displaced people, but at the same time, it also gave Zhuge Xingchen and other hostile forces the opportunity, and before the Laba Festival, Zhuge Xingchen entangled all the grassland departments and some of the people of Zhu Mu's clan to launch a fierce attack on Jinchuan, trying to occupy Jinchuan.

This can annoy Di Xin, who is settling the people, while reporting to the Snow Wolf Marshal's Mansion, while personally gathering 10,000 iron horses out of Jinchuan, encountering the enemy army in Changhaizi in the wind and snow, God is favored by the lucky people, for both sides are very excited, Zhuge Xingchen found that Di Xin only has 10,000 people, and his own Chinese army of 100,000 people are here, there is no problem in eating these 10,000 people, and you can also seize Jinchuan City; Di Xin was also very excited, because Di Xin found that the two leaders of Zhuge Xingchen and the Qiang Department were there, and maybe they would solve the problems of the grassland for many years in this Changhaizi battle.

Just when Zhuge Xingchen surrounded Di Xin's 10,000 people, Di Xin was not nervous at all, but asked everyone to get off the horse and bury the pot to cook, which made Zhuge Xingchen a little confused, and he didn't understand what medicine Di Xin was selling in the gourd.

Zhuge Xingchen has suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Xuanjun over the years, and he really didn't dare for a while, and he hesitated again and again before deciding whether it was a god or a ghost, he would know it by touching it, but he had wasted the optimal attack time.

As soon as Zhuge Xingchen lined up the formation and prepared to attack, the people on Di Xin's side slowly extinguished the fire, and after cleaning up, everyone got on their horses, and a hundred people scattered in a small team, like a crescent moon to meet Zhuge Xingchen.

The two sides launched an attack almost at the same time, and the cavalry of a hundred people immediately formed a spear formation to pick and kill all the way, and after a round, the grassland soldiers suffered heavy losses, and then dozens of hundred-person squads turned around and scattered into three or five small teams again to directly attack Zhuge Xingchen's Chinese army.

The former army is still entangled with the cavalry of the Xuan Army, at this time Zhuge Xingchen found out that this Xuan Army is very different from the previous fight, Yu Geng has been fighting with himself for many years, he is too clear about the moves of the Tiger Army, like the Tiger, the morale will drop if the three hits are missed, so he can avoid most of the damage every time, but this one is different, calm, confident, and cunning, like a pack of wolves and fighting with you.

Di Xin's character is that since I have bitten it, I have to tear off a piece of your flesh at worst, he will not give Zhuge Xingchen too much time to think, and the cavalry after breaking through the opponent's front army immediately joined forces and rushed straight to the Chinese army.

From the time when the two sides launched an attack to the time when Zhuge Xingchen's army broke up, it was only two sticks of incense, and Di Xin was even more crazy, and he kept chasing after him, forcing Zhuge Xingchen to flee with all his might.

Di Xin has been biting hard, and when he chased Atami, there were less than 300 horsemen left around him, if it wasn't for his subordinates to stop him, he would dare to take these 300 people to attack Atami.

"Commander, you can't chase anymore, that's the enemy's base camp!" The subordinates grabbed Di Xin's reins, this battle was painful, 10,000 cavalry defeated 100,000 troops, but as Di Xin's subordinates, it was necessary to stop when the main general was about to be in danger.

"What about the others? Where have they all gone? Di Xin obviously didn't feel that it was funny.

"It's all scattered, and they're all fighting on their own, according to our previous deployment, everyone will automatically return to the division after killing Atami." The subordinates hurriedly said, otherwise this master is likely to change the battle plan temporarily.

It's not that the subordinates are cowardly, it's because they go too deep into the grassland, this time the 10,000 cavalry didn't bring much grain and grass when they left Jinchuan, and if they went on, they would be unlucky if they didn't have enough food and grass.

Di Xin stabilized at this time, and said with a reluctant look: "It's a pity, let's let Zhuge Xingchen run away, let's go back according to the original plan." ”

Di Xin was decisive, immediately turned around and prepared to return to the army, and before leaving, he reluctantly glanced at Atami, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu let you run at most twice, this is the first time!" ”

At ten o'clock in the morning of the second day, most of the cavalry of the Snow Wolf Army had returned to the Changhaizi battlefield, and the 10,000 cavalry in this battle lost nearly 3,000, killed the enemy and captured more than 30,000 people, and by the way, captured the Daqu Department Zuoxian Wang Seng Ping.

Di Xin and others returned to Jinchuan in the afternoon after cleaning up the battlefield, and when they arrived at Jinchuan City, they immediately escorted the captives into the city with great fanfare, one was to deter the small tribal leaders who were pregnant with two children in the center of Jinchuan City, and the other was to calm the hearts of the merchants and people in Jinchuan City, and immediately after the parade ended, they sent people to escort Seng Ping to Chengdu.

Meng Yan saw Seng Ping kneeling down under the main hall, holding his chin and looking at the Zuoxian King of the Daqu Department who was also going to follow Zhuge Xingchen with interest, the ministers in the palace looked happy, since taking Chengdu for so many years, the grassland in western Sichuan has always been an internal trouble, and the grassland is always not at ease when fighting abroad, and in recent years, Chengdu and Xijing have joined forces to compress the living space of the tribes in the Western Regions and the grassland less and less, forcing them to form an alliance, of course, this alliance is loose.

Seng Ping was trembling, and the one sitting on it didn't look like the legendary fierce god, but looked more like a brother next door, looking at himself with some curiosity in his eyes, as if he was a strange monster, and the surrounding ministers didn't care about him at all, their admiring eyes looked at the superior, Emperor Daxuan, Meng Yan.

"Why don't you want to belong? Isn't it good to have a stable life? Meng Yan spoke, not loud, but very stressed.

Seng Ping didn't dare to speak, and buried his head deeper.

"Forget it, hand it over to the Shen Criminal Division, Xue Zhongtang and your guest house should also participate in it, pay attention to our attitude towards outsiders, if there is anything difficult to solve, you can refer to Zhaonan." Meng Yan really didn't have much interest in such a kowtow worm.

After Seng Ping was taken down, Meng Yan looked around at everyone for a while before opening his mouth and said, "Do you still have any opinions about Di Xin?" ”

The ministers were silent, and the few people who participated in recommending Di Xin did not stand up at this time, understanding that Meng Yan wanted to use this to establish his authority.

"Don't speak, do you? King Lingling County, let's talk about it, what kind of reward should it be, let's talk about it? ”

Meng Xin is already a white-bearded man, and he has been in charge of the Lile Division and the Mengshi Ancestral Hall all these years, and he is almost not very involved in the central decision-making, but in the eyes of the Meng's people, this old man is the most terrible, he makes mistakes, and the Meng's people who don't learn well have always had to accept two punishments, the country before the family.

"Your Majesty, according to the regulations, Uncle Baoxing should be promoted to the first rank and promoted to the county marquis, and the old minister thinks that the marquis of Mianning County is enough, and as for the military position, it is not the duty of the Etiquette Division." Mengxin's words are reasonable, but his words do not give face to the opposing courtiers.

Everyone has clicked on themselves, and they can't stop talking, and Chen Zhiqing, the rotating governor, came out and said: "The minister thinks that Di Xin can be promoted to the general of Jinchuan, what does Ye Shuai think?" ”

This is not Chen Zhiqing embarrassment of Ye Bohuai, because the nominal coach of the Snow Wolf Army is him, this is the rule.

"The Snow Wolf Marshal's Mansion is in Jinchuan, and the White Horse, Zhuo Keji, Jinchuan, Shen Li, Han Jia, Mian Ning, Qionghai, White Wolf Eight Towns and the Four Grasslands are the places where the White Wolf Marshal Mansion is stationed. Ye Bohuai pretended to be thoughtful and said.

Meng Yan didn't speak, and looked at Gu Yanfeng again, Gu Yanfeng sighed and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Ye Shuai and Qing Shuai said is reasonable, and they can set up the General's Mansion in Baima and Zhuo Keji to restrain the grassland tribes to pursue the Zhuge clan. ”

Meng Yan nodded, they had all said what they had to say, and they waited for themselves to speak.

"Since everyone has no opinion, let's draft the decree, take Di Xin as the general of the white horse, build another city between the white horse and Zhuo Keji, name the new original as the residence of the general of the white horse, give the marquis of the white horse county, issue it immediately, and pass the decree to all the departments of the grassland!"

Finally got off the court, Ye Bohuai hid in front of the tall quartz and wanted to run, but fortunately, Meng Yan kept staring at him, and at the moment when he was about to step out of the palace door, Meng Yan's slow voice came, "Tan Guogong stays!" ”

Quartz and the others heard Meng Yan's shout, and the pace under their feet instantly accelerated, Quartz helped Chen Zhiqing, Zhuo Bailing and Lu Ping drove Jin Qian, and a sneeze disappeared from Meng Yan's field of vision.

"Senior brother, what are you doing so fast?" Meng Yan tilted his head and teased.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has homework in the Martial Arts Academy today." Ye Bohuai knew that he couldn't run away, but there had to be an excuse for the two of them to go down the stairs together.

Meng Yan was a little helpless, since he found out that he had a private connection with Zhong Roulan, he really couldn't be as close as before, and Ye Bohuai was also very knowledgeable, he could usually hide and hide, and would rather stay in the martial arts academy to teach students than get involved in the government.

"Senior brother came with a letter, someone maliciously stirred up trouble in Peng Ze, he thinks it was someone from Sanling who did it, what do you think?" Meng Yan said as he threw a plain leather fold to Ye Bohuai to see.

Ye Bohuai glanced at it casually and said, "What happened to Peng Ze recently, the third brother talked to me a little, fortunately, Huo Youjian didn't have the impulse, otherwise Peng Ze would be in chaos, and the only one who could toss out this matter was the Youdu side." ”

"I think so too, but I wonder why Youdu went to all the trouble of causing a war between the three of us?"

"In order to develop, in order to survive, the matter of the Sanling Alliance, Xijing has already endorsed us, Youdu is militarily deeply affected by Daning, they can only develop in Mobei, Mobei is the territory of Beimu, where the most is cavalry, the Central Plains have been infantry-based since ancient times, and the cavalry is very good, especially in the south, it is difficult to find good horses, otherwise we will not compete for the interests of the grassland." Ye Bohuai said in detail.

"Quan Xi, this kid is a bit interesting, he not only wants to strengthen himself, but also has the idea of using cavalry to conquer the Central Plains."

Ye Bohuai pursed his lips, he understood everything, and he had to pull me to say this, it was clear that the drunkard did not mean to drink, and it was better to admit it himself when he made an order.

"Your Majesty, the minister invited himself to send an envoy to Xijing!"

"That's right! Senior brother still understands me, and the scholars in the cabinet have discussed for most of the day without a good idea, so I know that I have to let my senior brother come out of this matter! Meng Yan was very satisfied with Ye Bohuai's attitude.

"When the minister sent an envoy to Xijing, the Snow Wolf Army couldn't be idle, and he wanted Di Xin to sweep the cave in the plough court in western Sichuan, even if he couldn't capture Zhuge anymore, he couldn't let him go out of Dafeichuan again!"

"Don't worry, on the day of the senior brother's envoy, the will to sweep the grasslands of western Sichuan will come to Di Xinna, this kid is good, I plan to let Jing Mu go over to be his deputy, what do you think?"

Ye Bohuai got up and knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has a please!" ”

Seeing Ye Bohuai making such a big gift, Meng Yan was also startled, and quickly got up, "Senior brother, why is this?" That's it. ”

"Your Majesty, one of the most important links in the reform of the military system needs to be solved urgently!" Ye Bohuai thought about this for a long time and didn't know how to tell Meng Yan, once this matter was said, it would completely subvert the military system for thousands of years, and the opposition would definitely be great.

Meng Yan really couldn't guess this time, the military reform was already at the limit in his heart, what key omissions were there?

"Senior brother, will you speak out first?" Meng Yan didn't dare to agree rashly.

"Command, for thousands of years, the three armies have only been dispatched by one person, and if you win, you will be happy, and if you lose, you will be ruined!" Ye Bohuai said with a sigh of relief in his chest.
