The rest of the tribal leaders quickly brought enough men and horses, plus the original strength of Shou'an Town, there were about 8,000 people, and the imperial court stationed here had 20,000 people.

When the king of the southwest summoned all the chieftains to discuss how to fight this battle, he brought Yan Dusk with him. Naturally, the other chieftains had opinions, but the king of the southwest said that he was useful.

"The King of Zhenbei has experienced a hundred battles, and he once caused the Xianbei people to lose nearly 10,000 troops in Darong, so to deal with them, the King of Zhenbei has experience and can give us some useful advice." Southwest Royal Road.

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have caused such a big mess." One of the leaders said angrily.

The king of the southwest glanced at the leader, and then glanced at all the leaders present: "Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that unless our twelve tribes abandon our homeland and move to the western desert, this battle will be fought sooner or later. ”

"But you won't forget, this land is ours, and the Xianbei people plundered our land and forced us to the barren land in the southwest. But Rao is so, they are not satisfied, and they want us to get out completely. Are you really willing, are you really willing to be bullied by Xianbei people again and again? ”

"The Xianbei people see us as four-legged bedbugs, do we think we ourselves are bedbugs?"

The leader bowed his head and let out a long sigh.

"Of course, this battle is very difficult to fight, and the chances of winning are very small, so if you want to quit, you can leave Shou'an Town with your tribe's men and horses now, I will not stop it, and I will not be embarrassed in the future."

Yan Dusk lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, this seemed to be righteous, but in fact, it was very cunning. The precious sons of these chiefs are trapped in the enemy camp, and even if they are a hundred or a thousand unwilling, they must do everything in their power to save their sons.

"But 8,000 against 20,000, how can this battle be fought?" The leader was so anxious that he grabbed his hair.

The king of the southwest was also in a dilemma for a while, and the asymmetry in terms of strength and the weapons in the hands of the Xianbei people were also more powerful than them, so he couldn't come up with good countermeasures for a while.

The hall was quiet for a while, and Yan Dui saw that the time was almost up before he spoke.

"The Xianbei people think that you are cowardly, afraid, and do not dare to fight this battle with them at all, so let them be more convinced of this idea, and then give them a fatal blow when they are slacking off."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.

The King of the Southwest spoke first, "How?" ”

Yan Du lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "That's it." ”

He elaborated his thoughts carefully, but after listening to them, everyone was a little skeptical.

"Will it work?"

"Your spies came to report that King Liang had arrived at the opposite barracks, so he should be in charge of this battle, right?" Yan Du asked.

The King of the Southwest nodded, "There should be nothing wrong with this news. ”

"And King Liang is arrogant and not vigilant, so he should be able to be fooled."

Of course, Yan Dusk didn't say anything to death, only said that he would give them a signal, and they saw the signal to go out of the city to fight.

"But I don't know your strength, so I can't trust it." Yan Du said.

The King of the Southwest frowned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"After all, I have given my life, and I must hand it over to someone who is at ease, right?"

"So what?"

"I want the Lord of Mingyue to lead one of the three soldiers."

As soon as these words came out, everyone exploded on the spot.

"This is impossible, the county lord of Mingyue is a woman, how can she lead the troops to fight!"

"That is, women are shallow, and fighting is a big deal, how can it be child's play!"

"Our soldiers are all iron-clad men, led by a woman, where do their faces go?"

The other chieftains disagreed, and neither did the king of the southwest.

"If the king of Zhenbei is not at ease, this king can personally lead his troops to rescue you." Southwest Royal Road.

Yan Du glanced at everyone and saw their indignant looks, this thing really can't be done in one step.

"Okay."

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone went to prepare, and only the King of the Southwest and Yan Dusk were left in the hall.

"King Zhenbei, why did you just propose to let Mingyue lead the troops?" The King of the Southwest asked puzzled.

Yan Du turned his head and asked the King of the Southwest, "Why can't the Lord of Mingyue lead troops?" ”

"She's a woman."

"What about other than that?"

The king of the southwest pursed his lips, and after a while, he still said this: "She is a woman." ”

"You taught the lord of Mingyue County to read military books, taught her martial arts, and raised her with a rebellious temperament, daring to act, and not being confined to being a woman. From the very beginning, you didn't think about raising a lady, why do you ask her to be a girl. She doesn't have to be a bad man, she just needs a chance to show her skills. ”

"It is an unchangeable fact that in the Twelve Tribes, the status of women is lower than that of men."

"Yes, it starts with you."

The King of the Southwest looked at Yan Dui, "Start with me?" ”

"This time I brought the Lord of Mingyue to give her a chance to show her strength. One is for your daughter, and the other is for the palace, after all, you don't have a son, do you? ”

"I can have a son-in-law."

"In order to find a suitable son-in-law, force your daughter to marry someone she doesn't like, and live happily for the rest of her life?"

“……”

Yan Du smiled, "I believe that Sister Mingyue has this strength, and I believe that the King of the Southwest also believes it, so give her a chance." ”

Twilight quadrangle, it's time to prepare.

Yan Dusk and Tuoba Siqi had their hands tied and came to the city gate, while the king of the southwest and the leaders were still discussing the details.

Sikong Mingyue still pretended to be an ordinary soldier and sneaked to the two of them.

"My father said that he sent you to the enemy camp on a false basis, so don't be afraid, as soon as the war starts, someone will come to your rescue." Sikong Mingyue whispered to make them feel at ease, but she didn't know that this idea was actually Yan Duan's idea.

"We don't wait for others, just wait for the Lord of Mingyue to save us." Yan Du said.

Sikong Mingyue glared at him, "I can't go to the battlefield again." ”

"If so, do you have the confidence to save us?" Yan Du asked.

Sikong Mingyue nodded, "Of course there is, I can fight ten with one." ”

"When it comes to fighting, you can't rely on strength alone, you have to rely on your brains."

"I know, but I'm not a commander, so it's useless to have a brain."

"Not necessarily, a small soldier can do great things."

Sikong Mingyue frowned, "What are you talking to me about?" ”

Yan Du smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this time, ten four-wheeled carts were pushed, seven of them were carrying wine, each cart was full, and the last three were beef and mutton, which were also full.

One of the chiefs in charge of collecting these said: "The wine of the whole town has been emptied, and the cattle and sheep are slaughtered. ”

The king of the southwest nodded and said, "This king personally sent it over." ”

"King, in case ......"

"If there is a case, the matter of the battle will be left to you, and you must remember that our twelve tribes are one family, regardless of each other. Especially at this time, the heart must be united, and the strength must be in one place! ”
