When Zhao Shan saw Tuoba Yanran arriving at the bottom of the city tower, he immediately arranged for someone to open the city gate, bring the money in, and bring Tuoba Yanran to the top of the city tower.
In a short time, everything was harvested.
Tuoba Hong was very nervous, worried that Zhao Shan would not keep his word, so he urged: "Zhao Shan, let him go immediately."
Zhao Shan looked at Tuoba Hong's eager look and smiled: "Tuoba Hong, I said I would give it to you. Why are you anxious? You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You see, I'm not in a hurry at all."
Tuoba Hong's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
You need a hammer!
The prisoners are all in your hands, and you haven't lost any interests, so of course there's no rush.
Tuoba Hong said angrily: "Zhao Shan, do you want to break your promise?"
Zhao Shan replied: "Of course I will not break my word. People like Tuoba Shao and Yu Wenxiong have made arrangements and can leave the border at any time. Before that, I have something to say to you, the little king of Fanbang. .”
Tuoba Hong's eyes were about to burst into flames.
The little king of Fanbang?
The former Emperor of Daqian shivered with fright when he heard that the Wei Dynasty was sending troops to the south. He quickly arranged for envoys to sue for peace, hoping to pay compensation immediately and make peace with him to resolve the war.
Zhao Shan actually humiliated him like this.
Zhao Shan ignored Tuobahong's thoughts and continued: "Tuobahong, this time in the battle of Youzhou, I only made you pay a small price. If you become my enemy again next time, all the prisoners will be killed in Zhujingguan .”
"You remember it."
"I'm telling you clearly, don't say it's unforeseen."
Zhao Shan's voice was loud and clear and could be heard outside the pass.
Tuoba Hong was almost scolded by Zhao Shan'er, his face turned blue and white, and he was very angry. But after he was angry, he temporarily chose to endure the humiliation and did not talk nonsense with Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan said something, waved his hand and ordered: "Let him go!"
Crunch!
The city gate was opened, batches of Xianbei prisoners were released, and everyone ran out in a swarm.
During the short period of time these people were held captive, they had lost a lot of weight due to hunger and were all physically weak. After becoming a prisoner, he only ate one meal a day, and it was very thin gruel without any oil or water.
Now being released by Zhao Shan, everyone was excited and ran out quickly, crowding people, causing the rushing team to be very chaotic. Some people even fell to the ground and were trampled to death because they were crowded while running.
Tuoba Hong saw countless people coming back, and the ones he was most concerned about were Tuoba Shao, Yu Wenxiong, and many other military generals.
When Tuoba Hong saw Tuoba Shao coming back, his heart fell to the ground.
Finally home.
With a guilty look on his face, Tuoba Shao knelt down on the ground with a plop and knocked his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and failed to stop Zhao Shan's army. Instead, I became a prisoner and caused Wei to be humiliated. I am guilty, please forgive me. .”
"Not guilty, not guilty!"
Tuoba Hong picked up Tuoba Shao and said happily: "It's good that the emperor's uncle is back. Without the emperor's uncle, the Wei Dynasty will have no backbone."
Tuoba Shao choked up even more when he heard this.
Extremely self-blame.
He did not expect that after he lost his troops and generals, he was not blamed, but was comforted by Tuoba Hong.
Tuoba Hong looked at the other soldiers again. It didn't take long for everyone to come back, and the gate of Lulongsai was also closed directly.
Zhao Shan looked at Tuoba Hong, who was forming an army, and said again: "Tuoba Hong, I welcome you to attack again. Because you are a good person, you give money, land and women, you are really a good person!"
brush!
Tuoba Hong's face turned even colder and he said coldly: "Zhao Shan, let's wait and see."
"Withdraw troops!"
Tuoba Hong gave the order to retreat.
After the mighty army left Lulongsai, they quickly disappeared from Zhao Shan's sight.
After the army led by Tuoba Hong moved away, they stopped to rest after confirming that there were no pursuers behind them.
Tuoba Hong called Tuoba Shao over and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Emperor, we suffered heavy losses in the battle at Youzhou, and I am really not willing to accept it."
Tuoba Shao was surprised and said, "Does Your Majesty want to counterattack?"
"certainly!"
Tuoba Hong flicked his sleeves and gritted his teeth and said: "I will never give up until I take revenge."
Tuoba Shao sighed: "Your Majesty, now is not the best time to start a war. First, Zhao Shan's army is strong, especially with sharp weapons and fierce cavalry."
"Second, our cavalry has been weakened. We don't have enough horses, and our military morale has also been affected. Now when we start a war with Zhao Shan, we will attack the strong with the weak."
"Third, there will definitely be civil strife in Daqian."
"If we don't attack Zhao Shan, there are people in Daqian who want to cut off Zhao Shan's retreat. After Zhao Shan withdraws and starts fighting with Daqian's people, wouldn't it be better if we attack again?"
Tuoba Shao said seriously: "I am not afraid of Zhao Shan, but after weighing the pros and cons, I think there is no need to confront Zhao Shan head-on now. If we wait a little longer, we will definitely have plenty of opportunities and time."
"No, no need to wait."
Tuoba Hong shook his head firmly and answered.
His eyes were sharp and he continued: "Today, I am ready. To be honest with the emperor, I have ambushed 15,000 elite soldiers in Lulongsai. In addition, I also made the gates of Lulongsai. Our hands and feet were broken and we could not withstand the impact of the force. We calculated mentally but not intentionally, and we had every chance of winning."
Tuoba Shao worriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shan's soldiers and horses are strong."
Tuoba Hong asked: "I have more than 30,000 elite soldiers, of which more than 10,000 are cavalry. In addition, the main troops have returned, and there are more than 60,000 elite soldiers, with a total strength of more than 90,000. Such a huge force Will his strength be less than that of Zhao Shan?"
Tuoba Shao thought for a moment and said, "In terms of number of troops, we do have more troops."
Tuoba Hong said: "In that case, what are you afraid of?"
Tuoba Shao said: "Your Majesty, this person Zhao Shan..."
But as soon as he said the words, Tuoba Hong interrupted: "After the battle between the emperor and Zhao Shan, are you afraid?"
"of course not!"
Tuoba Shao quickly explained: "I am just worried."
"Nothing to worry about."
Tuoba Hong said with murderous intent: "Zhao Shan is arrogant and willful. I will never give up until I take revenge. Even if I can't kill Zhao Shan, I will destroy his troops and beat him to a lack of troops. After Zhao Shan's troops are weakened, he will return. If we cannot control the situation at home, then we will invade further south."
Tuoba Shao felt something was wrong.
Zhao Shan is too cunning.
However, seeing Tuoba Hong's resolute attitude, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, let's fight."
Tuoba Hong showed an approving smile on his face and said: "Uncle Emperor will arrange this battle."
Tuoba Shao nodded and arranged for the soldiers to bury the pot and make rice.
Because Tuobahong had transferred grain and grass early and moved a large amount of food and grass outside Lulong Fortress, Tuobahong's army now had no shortage of food. The soldiers in the army had enough food, and countless sheep were killed to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers.
At the end of the day, the soldiers had enough to eat and drink.
In the evening, there was another full meal to ensure that the soldiers were well fed and regained their energy and strength.
At night, torches burned in the camp, dispelling the darkness and making the camp as bright as day.
Tuoba Hong, wearing armor, came majestically to the high platform built in the camp and looked at the army in formation, with blazing flames in his eyes.
Tonight, he wants revenge.
