Wei Ni

Now Xia Houhui and his party have returned to Donganyang County.

The reason why he walked so quickly was because he learned that Kirby could lead the Xianbei allied forces to proactively seek a decisive battle with the Wei army, and Wada Yu sent Baima Yicong to guard them along the way to prevent Kirby from sending out cavalry to intercept and kill them on their way back. , he urged the soldiers to redouble their efforts to see if it was possible to catch up with the war.

Even if they are unable to fight on the battlefield, if they can enter the battlefield as a new force when the war is about to end, the impact on the morale of the enemy and ourselves will be huge.

However, he did not expect that Kirby could be defeated so quickly.

According to common sense, the other coalition army has more than 100,000 people. Shouldn't they fight steadily and wear down the Wei army at the expense of human lives?

Why did he flee back to Pingcheng in less than two hours?

With such a record, he could actually dominate Monan for more than ten years?

It is true that there is a false scholar under the great reputation.

As a result, I was so anxious all the way, hurrying and slowing down, that I didn't even get a chance to watch the enemy and our troops facing each other in a fierce battle with nearly 200,000 troops.

When he saw the scouts sent by Qin Lang to deliver the order, Xia Houhui, who learned of the latest arrangements, specially asked the scouts about the battle, and then he felt so emotional.

"Well, after you return, I will tell Qin Yuanming to my descendants that I will act in accordance with the general's orders and will live up to my trust."

Xia Houhui, who dismissed the scouts with such words, cast his eyes on the Sanggan River that flows eastward day and night, with some unexplainable amusement in his eyes.

Even the Leopard Cavalry Commander who was listening to the order wanted to ask him where he planned to turn north to intercept Kirby's arrival, but in the end he remained silent and turned around silently to drink his horse.

As for General Li Bi, who is affiliated with Qin Lang's hussar camp, he is even more sensible.

When Xia Houhui received the order, he walked away without even taking a peek at his expression.

Calculating the distance, at the speed at which they were all riding, it would only take half a day at most to get to the Wei army camp in Beiping.

It doesn’t even take half a day.

Moreover, they had already rested for a day and night after the sneak attack on Ma City. After arriving in Beiping, both the horses and the cavalry were able to immediately join the battle in the best condition, which was completely comparable to the battle going north to Pingcheng to attack Kirbineng.

After all, Qin Lang still needs to wait for Xie Guini and Dai Hua Langni to settle down the tribe's women and children before proceeding.

Therefore, it is said that Qin Lang found a reason to exclude Xiahou Hui from the Pingcheng war because he had the help of Xie Guini and other Xianbei rangers.

Why worry about Kobe Bryant running away to Los Angeles?
Just an excuse.

After the defeat, Kirby's top priority was to restore his prestige and stabilize his position as the leader beyond the Great Wall.

And if he wants to do this, he can only go to Mobei to summon the help of tribes who are willing to fight for him and revive his own strength, and then he can make the tribes in Monan choose to surrender due to the current situation!

In this way, how could he run east to Macheng and stay in Monan!
Xia Houhui didn't think Qin Lang could even deduce such an obvious result.

Therefore, he feels a little unhappy now.

Especially on his way back, he had already made up his mind not to take credit for this battle, so as not to be jealous of others and harm his career in the future.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lang directly arranged for him not to fight!
Not fighting oneself, but being suppressed by others and unable to fight are two different things and cannot be generalized.

It seems that Qin Yuanming has never been keen on fame. Why is it that this time I work with him, it is completely different!

Could it be that in the past few years, I have shown my talents and gained the emperor's respect, so I have made him want to compete for his favor?
Probably so.

Since today's emperor succeeded to the throne, he, Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao, Xia Houxian and others have been favored together. Now I suddenly have an extra person. I am probably prepared for danger in times of peace and worried that I will come from behind.

"Yi, I have met the general."

While Xia Houhui was thinking about himself, Baima Yi came slowly over from the leader Gongsun Yi to salute.

Different from the first time the two met, Gongsun Yi was very polite and gentle in his tone, completely different from his previous unruly demeanor.

"No need to be polite."

Xia Houhui, who was interrupted from his thoughts, nodded gently and said kindly, "Ziying came here to ask me when we will go north to build momentum for General Qin? Don't be eager. The Xianbei Hulu have been defeated and have lost their vigor. Just like a bereaved dog, it’s not too late to wait until the soldiers have eaten.”

Well, he doesn't have any dislike for Gongsun Yi.

The previous expulsion in anger was just to provoke Qin Lang.

The matter was over, and Xia Houhui would not deliberately make things difficult for others if they were respectful.

The most important thing is that the previous sneak attack on Macheng was successful, and Baima Yicong, who spied on the enemy's situation in detail, played a major role.

"only."

Following the words, Gongsun Yi responded, "General Xiahou, I am not here to ask about the time, but just now the personal soldiers of Prefect Youtian came to see me and asked me to speak to the general."

Uh?
Tian Yu has something to tell me?
And he went out of his way to avoid others and asked you to tell him?
Hearing this, Xia Houhui's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he also tasted the meaning.

He calmly led his horse to the water bank farther away to drink. After there was no one within twenty paces, he asked, "Tell me, Ziying, what does Prefect Tian mean?"

Gongsun Yi, who was consciously following behind, quickly lowered his voice and said, "General, this is what Governor Tian is doing."

It turned out that Tian Yu also noticed Qin Lang's little thoughts.

But he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Wei Wu's fake son and Qiao Peiyuanxun, so he used Gongsun Yi to explain it. And also gave suggestions.

If Xiahou Hui only needs to plant many banners and lead the cavalry between Gaoliu City and Macheng with great fanfare, he will have fulfilled Qin Lang's general arrangement.

There is no need to work hard, and there is no need to be busy fighting.

And if Xia Houhui felt that this trip was boring, he would ask General Leopard Cavalry to lead the troops as the supervisor, and he would find a reason to let Gongsun Yi and other Baima Yi Cong lead the way to the east of Gaoliu City and the valley of Nanyang River (today's Dashun County) Seize the horse.

It was the habitat of the original Beiwuhuan tribe.

After Daibei Wuhuan was defeated by Cao Zhang, the remaining troops were annexed by Kebineng and were still placed in their original place.

The leader of the tribe is Xiu Wulu, the son of the former Wuhuan tribe leader.

In his early years, when Xiu Wulu followed Kirby to conquer the grasslands, he encountered a herd of wild horses in Shangjun by chance and captured the first horse. Although he did not train him into a war horse, he kept him in captivity for several years and bred many foals.

For example, in the early years, the famous horses that Kirby was able to pay tribute to Wei were taken from the Xiuwulu tribe.

Since Xiu Wulu, a direct descendant of Kirby Neng, is also in Pingcheng now, there is absolutely no possibility of abandoning Kirby Neng and leaving. Therefore, if Xia Houhui intends to go there with three hundred white horses, he may not be able to win a good horse back.

After hearing this, Xia Houhui couldn't help but feel excited.

You must know that the red rabbit horse Dong Zhuo gave to Lu Bu was obtained when he was the governor of Bingzhou.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Bingzhou Shangjun has been recorded in history books as the place with the largest number of wild horses.

However, Xia Houhui did not express his position immediately.

Instead, he turned his head slightly and looked at Gongsun Yi with great interest for a moment before politely refusing, "If you go north to control the bandit chief, Kebi will not dare to go east. Since the prefect Tian has made a plan for me, I will follow your words." Let's do it. It's just that I was favored by others for entering the Wuhuan Xiuwulu tribe, and I should be rewarded. Now that I am indifferent to the people in the court, I will not take it if it does not benefit the governor. Go on your own. This trip to the north is just a bluff. There is no need for scouts to keep an eye on you day and night. Your troops will be free."

As soon as he said these words, Gongsun Yi became anxious.

"General! Prefect Tian and I are not trying to get revenge on the general, but..."

He hurriedly argued out loud, but before he could finish his words, he started mumbling with an embarrassed expression, and even his face turned red before he could finish his words.

It also made Xia Houhui couldn't help laughing.

In fact, he had already guessed that Gongsun Yi's suggestion to seize the horse was Gongsun Yi's favor through Tian Yu's mouth. His intention was to plead guilty for his previous rebelliousness and contradict him, and to ask him not to worry about it anymore.

"Well, I know what Ziying means."

After laughing for a while, Xia Houhui waved his hand and explained slowly, "We broke up on bad terms because you and I were both in good spirits. I have no grudges, but I hope Ziying shouldn't feel uneasy. Furthermore, , If it were not for Ziying and Baima Yi who took great pains to find out the reality of the Hulu, my attack on Ma City might not have gone smoothly, so I am only grateful to Ziying and have no resentment. "

"Huh~~Thank you so much, General!"

After taking a deep breath, Gongsun Yi's expression became brighter, and he bowed his hands in gratitude again and said, "Yi is a lowly man from the border area. He doesn't know etiquette. He has been in the countryside for a long time, and his rudeness is too strong. I bumped into the general a while ago and was reprimanded by Grand Administrator Tian. I felt uneasy at this time and asked the general to allow me a chance to atone for my sins and use the traitor to build a good horse from the Wulu tribe to strengthen the general's authority. !”

"it is good."

This time, Xia Houhui no longer refused and readily agreed, "As Ziying said, we will go to the Bandit Xiuwulu tribe to have a look."

After all, if I refuse anymore, I will look too pretentious.

After he agreed, he asked directly without waiting for Gongsun Yi to say anything.

"It is inevitable that Kebi, the bandit chief, will be defeated today. It can also be said that Taishou Tian will stay in Bingzhou for a long time to pacify the frontier for the country. I wonder what Ziying and other Baima Yi's plans will be from now on? They will enroll in the military and serve in Bingzhou with Taishou Tian. Or go back to Sangzixie?"

"This"

After hearing the question, Gongsun Yi hesitated again, then lowered his head and answered, "Prefect Tian also asked about this matter, but my father's generation of Baima Yicong was not in good condition in Bingzhou, so the elders in Sangzi said that it was not suitable for us to stay. Bingzhou."

Does it refer to the death of Gongsun Xu in Bingzhou?

Oh no.

He probably felt that staying in Bingzhou would make it difficult for Tian Yu.

Because the Xiongnu Tu tribes who killed Gongsun Xu and besieged Baima Yicong are still living and thriving in Hetao and Shangjun, and they are also one of the people Tian Yu wants to be gentle with when he manages Bingzhou.

"um, I"

With a slight nasal sound, Xiahou Hui was about to say a few words of comfort, but before he could speak, he realized what had happened - Gongsun Yi didn't mind being enlisted in the Wei army!

He just said that Baima Yicong could not stay in Bingzhou, but he did not mean that he would return to Sangzi and guard Jiuqiu.

And this is the purpose of his coming to show his goodwill.

Otherwise, if he wishes to die of old age in his hometown in western Liaoning, and he returns to Luoyang soon, the two of them may never meet again in this life, so why bother to show their goodwill?

Well, that should be it.

If Baima Yicong can be enrolled in the military, it will be of great benefit to the attack on Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Houhui once again looked at Gongsun Yi who was still standing with his head bowed.

Simply, with the mentality of giving it a try, he asked aloud, "Guangwu of the previous dynasty once said that Wuhuan Tuqi was the best soldier in the world, but Baima Yi Cong made him run away, which can be said to enhance the prestige of our Han family. ! As a leader, Ziying should take the responsibility of reviving the White Horse. He should not live in the mountains and waste his life. Although I am in a humble position, I can still raise the White Horse in front of the emperor. I don’t know Ziying. Is Baima Yicong determined to be famous in the world and willing to serve the country?" (End of this chapter)
