Spring begins, peach moon.
Unlike the rice sowing in the Central Plains, at this time, outside Hezhou City, there was still a mess. Last year, the war between Beidi and Sha Rong once reached the front of Hezhou City. Even the Beidi King Tuoba Hu, who was beaten to the point of losing his temper, actually turned his head and came to ask for help from the Central Plains.
Of course, according to Tsuneshiro's temper, he is naturally not a bird. At this time, after Tuoba Hu died in the battle, the royal court of Beidi had moved to the vicinity of Wangzhou. The originally prosperous royal family only had less than ten people left.
After Tuoba Hu died, the original prince Tuoba Zhu was also chosen by Xu Mu. The person who now succeeds to the throne of Khan is Tuoba Hu's second son Tuoba Lou, a Beidi boy who has just tied his hair.
"Charcoal, charcoal..."
But in a few tents wrapped in felt cloth, Tuoba Lou was shivering with cold. It was clearly the beginning of spring, but for some reason, it felt like snow had fallen inside the entire small felt bag.
"Prince Li...is there any reply from Hezhou?"
"Great Khan, no... the people from the Central Plains will not help us."
Hearing the sound, Tuoba Lou suddenly felt sad. The huge Saibei grassland, with two to three hundred tribes and two hundred thousand warriors, has become what it is today for some unknown reason. It's like a bereaved dog that was driven out of the grassland and hid on the edge of an abandoned city, lingering on.
There were less than three thousand warriors left, and among them, some people escaped from time to time.
"I think back then, when I, the Beidi warrior, came out of the grassland with the blessing of the condor, the whole Central Plains was trembling with fear." Tuoba Lou's voice trembled.
On the other side of Sha Rong, Hao Lianzhan, the king of Sha Rong, continued to send troops even after chasing them out of the grassland, vowing to eradicate their last royal family.
"Khan, someone is coming!"
In the felt tent, Tuoba Lou, who was feeling sad about spring and autumn, stood up in a hurry and hid behind the animal skin chair.
"The Great Khan is not a Sha Rong, but a merchant army from the Central Plains."
"Quickly pass the order... get out of the way quickly, don't offend the Central Plains people!" Tuoba Lou raised his head and shouted in shock.
…
Sitting on the horse, Huang Tianer sneered as he looked at the felt tent in front of him and the Beidi people who kept retreating. Previously, Wangzhou had become an abandoned city, and these Beidi people, who had lost their family like dogs, had temporarily found a good place to go.
Behind Huang Tian'er, the 300-strong Huang family's business helmsmen coldly pressed their swords, wary of the Beidi people's movements. But for a long time, no one in Beidi moved. Instead, they retreated further and further. There is a huge difference from the previously arrogant prairie eagle.
"Huang Mao'er, if you follow my suggestion and kill a wave of people, these Beidi people are already at the end of their strength." In the center of the merchant army, there was a carriage surrounded by people, and someone inside said with a smile.
Huang Tian'er ignored it. In troubled times, his current mission is to follow the orders of the King of Shu and get to Chengdu as quickly as possible.
Of course, he had always looked down upon the uncle of the Huang family in the carriage.
"Uncle Clan, there are a lot of people in Beidi, so we need to hurry."
As a merchant helmsman, by means of mutual trading, in the Saibei grassland, regardless of Beidi and Sha Rong, they would not take action against them unless they were provoked. Looking at the Huang family uncle in the carriage, he was clearly going crazy again.
"Oh, there are so many people? Huang Mao'er, I will teach you a strategy."
Huang Tian'er turned his head and was too lazy to pay attention. There were some things that he didn't want the people in the carriage to know.
"At first glance, it looks like there are a lot of people, but in fact, I have identified that these Beidi people are about to run out of food. Just look at their military stoves. It's obviously time to cook, but there are very few military stoves that are on fire."
"Uncle Clan's method of calculating stoves...has long been famous throughout the world." Huang Tian'er sighed.
After this sentence, the voices in the carriage suddenly became silent.
…
Hezhou City.
As a guarding general, Le Qing stood at the city gate with a hesitant look on his face. But for a long time, he finally closed his eyes and made some kind of decision. Then he took a few confidants and hurriedly walked down the city wall and rushed to a side courtyard in the city.
In the side courtyard, a man wearing an animal skin mask seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He heard Le Qing's footsteps before following him to greet him.
"General Le."
"I've met Mr. Yin." Le Qing raised his hand and asked several confidants to guard outside the hospital.
Under the animal skin mask, Yin Hu's eyes turned calmly.
"Mr. Yin is leaving today?"
"Indeed, I have stayed at the border for too long."
"Mr. Yin came to the border and entered the grassland quietly. I only made a guess and knew that it was King Xu Shu and Mr. Dongfang who were worried about the foreigners."
Yin Hu nodded silently. Xishu and Beiyu, the lords of the two families, have joined forces several times in order to resist foreigners. Le Qing, who was in front of him, had also blocked Beidi's 150,000-strong army together with his own small military advisor.
"Mr. Yin, don't worry...I won't do any harm without using the sword." Le Qing sighed, "Not many people admire this certain Le Qing, except the little military advisor from the East. In Beiyu, Everybody calls him 'Lame', but I don't want to, I worship him."
"Le General Gaoyi."
"In the Central Plains, your family and I are at war. To put it bluntly, if I kill my husband, I may achieve great success, but in this case... I will also kill my own conscience."
Yin Hu raised his head, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.
"Mr. Zhi is leaving today, so he brought wine and drank three cups together. If you and I meet on the battlefield in the future, we will meet here and we will not hold back."
"good!"
Le Qing took out the wine jar and asked his confidants to find two more bowls. After filling it up, they both held it up and drank it all in one gulp.
Yin Hu's eyes were hot.
Since entering Hezhou, even if Le Qing discovered them, there was no trouble. On the contrary, it provided a lot of convenience, allowing them to enter the northern grassland of the Great Wall smoothly and obtain information. It is even said that even General Li Zhengbei successfully obtained the letter.
"Mr. Yin, let's drink together again." Le Qing's voice was passionate.
"To be honest, sir, I, Le Qing, am a rough martial artist, but the most satisfying thing I have done in my life till now is to lead troops and join hands with Mr. Dongfang to block Beidi's attack. Mr. Dongfang's style that day , until now, I can’t forget each other.”
Yin Hu raised his bowl.
Xishu and Beiyu, under such momentum, only one can survive. Just like him and Le Qing, if they meet on the battlefield one day, only one of them can survive.
After three bowls of wine, Yin Hu stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Le Qing.
"Mr. Yin, please allow me to say one more thing... I sent the letter to Changyang before, but it was not handed over to the Changsheng military advisor. Instead, I sent a confidant to hand it over to the lord in person."
Yin Hu was stunned.
"My lord only replied, if it turns out that sir is doing something for foreigners, let me deal with it as appropriate. Don't be embarrassed."
"King Gaoyi of Beiyu." Yin Hu sighed and cupped his hands.
"That's easy to say." Le Qing slowly returned to his normal expression, and suddenly thought of something again, and he started laughing.
"After bidding farewell to Mr., I personally led people out of the city to chase down another wave of Beidi people's remnant army. In the past two or three days, I always sent some mare's milk wine to break the stones, saying that I wanted to vassal Beiyu. I became angry just thinking about it. I'll kill them as fast as I can, and then I'll go into the mountains and hunt wolves."
