Great Han Empire

Chapter 292
He Yong will go to Xiliang to appease tomorrow, so General He Jin specially held a banquet in the mansion today to give He Yong a farewell party.

After the banquet, the general, He Yong and Yuan Shao's cronies went to the study to discuss matters.

"Today's court meeting, the Son of Heaven intends to appoint Zongzheng Liu Yu to succeed him as Taiwei, but he was unanimously opposed by the ministers of the inner and outer courts." He Jin said worriedly, "I think His Majesty's attitude is firm, and he has no intention of giving up at all."

He Yong and the others had already heard about this matter, and they were also frowning deeply at this time, remaining silent.

"Bo Qiu, before you leave, do you have any good countermeasures?"

"Liu Yu is a member of the royal family and a trusted confidant of the emperor. If he is appointed as the Taiwei and in charge of military affairs in all directions, then the power of the clan will be even stronger." He Yong sighed, "Liu Yu himself is knowledgeable, honest and honest He is also loyal to His Majesty, so it is not inappropriate for him to be a Taiwei, but he was the former master of Li Hong, the guard of Qiang Zhonglang. With this relationship, it is very disadvantageous for us to be a Taiwei. "

"Liu Yu and Li Hong have a very good personal relationship, which can be called invincible. If Liu Yu becomes a captain, Li Hong will definitely obey. In this way, Liu Yu can directly control and command Li Hong. At the same time, the emperor's respect for Li Hong The use of Hong will also be more handy, like giving orders. The emperor has these two powerful ministers who are helping each other inside and outside the court, so it is much more convenient to do what he wants to do."

Yuan Shao went on to say: "With the support of the emperor inside and the strong support of Li Hong outside, Liu Yu's power will expand rapidly, and the competition with the general for military power will be very fierce."

"Once the clan's power grows stronger, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to the general." Zhonglang Wang Yun sighed, "Now there are rumors in Luoyang that the general has contacts with the Xiliang rebels, and there are even more good things, such as Pingyuan Xiangkai and The general is an old friend, and Wang Fen's rebellion was all manipulated by the general behind the scenes."

He Jin smiled wryly and shook his head again and again.

"If the rumors continue like this, in a few days, some people may say that the Xingyang rebellion was secretly ordered by the general." Wang Yun said angrily.

He Jin was shocked, and the smile on his face became even uglier.He Yong and Yuan Shao exchanged a look with each other, and their worried expressions became more intense.

"These rumors were deliberately released by the traitors." The middle man Xun You also said, "The power of the traitors has been hit repeatedly, and they hate the general. They want to use these rumors to confuse your majesty and take the opportunity to instigate your majesty to attack the general. The general is at a disadvantage."

"If these rumors are allowed to fly all over the sky, it will definitely be bad for the general." Wang Yun said, "I think the general still meets the traitors Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others in private through the relationship between the queen and the general of Cheqi. Quiet these rumors and concentrate on the matter in front of you. The general can tell the eunuchs that if Liu Yu is appointed captain, their life will be difficult."

"Master Zi, you are wrong. Liu Yu is very flexible. He has a very harmonious relationship with the traitors, and there has been no conflict. If he becomes a Taiwei, it will be very helpful for the traitors to regain His Majesty's trust. Moreover, now that the eunuchs are secretly supporting the little Marquis Dong to inherit the throne, His Majesty will more or less need these old middle-ranking officials to contribute in the future, so where is the conflict between them?" Zheng Tai asked puzzled .

"Liu Yu has been an official for many years and is familiar with government affairs. He has his own methods for increasing the tax revenue of the treasury and resisting foreign invasion. When he was the governor of Youzhou, he recruited refugees to open up wasteland, farm and grow grain, and reduce taxes. Taxes and other methods increased the revenue of the treasury, and externally, they actively adopted the method of moving inward and appeasing the Hu people to quell the disaster of war, and achieved remarkable results.” Wang Yun explained, “If Liu Yu became a Taiwei, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of the Hu people’s invasion. Yu's method must be recruiting and relocating. These two methods will cost a lot of money, and the court can't afford it. But for His Majesty who believes in Liu Yu, he will help Liu Yu implement this strategy, and the final result That is, His Majesty will come up with all kinds of ways to exploit the powerful and powerful in Luoyang, and the first ones to bear the brunt are of course these wealthy princes. The traitors have extorted a lot of money from His Majesty recently, and they are heartbroken. If they know Liu Yu will encourage His Majesty to continue blackmailing them after he becomes a Taiwei, and he will definitely consider it carefully."

"In addition, there is another more important reason, that is, after Liu Yu becomes the Taiwei, His Majesty will feel safer and more powerful, and he will be more confident, and he will use young junior officials like Jian Shuo with confidence and boldness. Gradually replace Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang. This threat to the old traitors should be more terrible than losing money, right?"

"Master Zi is right." He Yong praised, "As long as the traitor doesn't oppose us for the time being, we will relieve a lot of pressure."

"If Liu Yu adopts this method to resist the Hu people after he becomes a Taiwei, it is better to let Master Situ become a Taiwei." Xun You said, "Although Master Situ said to give up some border counties, he will not take actual actions. One Otherwise, he will not get the support of any ministers, and on the other hand, His Majesty will not agree. If the court and China live in peace, there will be no troubles."

"Rumor? Rumor?" Zhao Qi suddenly thought of something, and said suddenly, "Do you still remember the rumor in Luoyang that Liu Yu and Murong Feng of Xianbei secretly colluded to kill Helian in the summer of last year?"

There was silence in the house.

"My lord, you mean us..." Yuan Shao hesitated and asked.

"At this time, when the Xianbei people are aggressively invading, if there are rumors in Luoyang that Liu Yu and the Xianbei people have colluded, then no matter whether it is true or not, he is not suitable to be a captain." Zhao Qi said, "Now is an extraordinary period. No matter how much the Son of Heaven likes Liu Yu, he doesn't dare to offend the public."

"It's still the boss who is extremely resourceful." He Jin clapped his hands happily and praised, "Thank you, boss."

"Boqiu, don't worry about going to Xiliang."

=====================

The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand again and again, and asked suspiciously: "Is there any collusion between Liu Yu and Murong Feng? Is there any evidence?"

Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is pure nonsense. If this happened the year before last, it would be even more impossible. In the spring and summer of the year before last, Murong Feng was commanding an army to invade Youzhou, how could the two collude? If there was a collusion between the two, more than half of Youzhou would have been lost long ago."

"I heard that he has a very good relationship with Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu." The emperor asked again, "Is it true?"

"It's true." Lu Zhi replied with a bow, "When Master Liu was the governor of Youzhou, he got along well with all the Hu people in northern Xinjiang. Sing praises. The Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu heard of his great name, and specially met him many times in Daijun to ask for advice on opening the market. The friendship between the two was formed at that time."

"Rumors spreading in Luoyang that are unfavorable to Mr. Liu are clearly intended to prevent Mr. Liu from being promoted to the position of Taiwei." Huangfusong shook his head and said with great disdain, "How can we verify such pretentious things?" But if you don’t check it out, how can Master Liu be a Taiwei? If His Majesty forces the decree, the ministers will definitely not accept it. If everyone repeatedly impeaches, will the mountain of state affairs still have to be dealt with? Spread this rumor maliciously Those people are really hateful, when the frontier war is so tense, they disregard the country and society, and play such despicable and dirty tricks."

The emperor threw the memorial on the desk with a blank face, and paced back and forth.

"If Your Majesty doesn't like Sir Situ, there are two more candidates, can Your Majesty consider?" Lu Zhi whispered.

"Aiqing, tell me." The emperor said, "Apart from Guanglu Xunding Palace, who else?"

"Private servant Yang Biao." Lu Zhi said, "Lord Wen Liehou Yang is the eldest son of the former Taiwei Yang Ci. His family has been loyal and good for generations. He is knowledgeable, loyal and upright. He can be a Taiwei."

"I just promoted him to be a servant, and immediately promoted him to be a captain. Too fast, too fast, the ministers will definitely say that I am nepotism." The emperor waved his hand again and again, "My lord is my teacher. The relationship is there, I have to think more about it.”

Lu Zhi and Huangfusong looked at each other and bowed their heads in silence.

The emperor was still shaking his head.Yang Biao is not the usual loyal and upright, but bold and bold, the emperor is a little afraid to use it, for fear of asking for trouble.

More than ten years ago, when Yang Biao was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, he discovered that Huangmen Ling Wang Fu (he and the middle official Cao Jie launched the Beigong Incident and killed the general Dou Wu) and his disciples were involved in corruption and bribery. 7000 million dollars.Without hesitation, he immediately reported and, together with Wei Yangqiu, the Sili school at that time, insisted on overthrowing Wang Fu, killing Wang Fu, father and son, and more than 300 disciples.Yang Biao became famous all over the world for this incident.

The emperor did not intend to hand over the military power of the Taiwei, so he did not want to move Yang Biao as Taiwei.If this Yang Biao, after becoming a captain, dragged a group of ministers to argue with him every day with the Han law, he would be a little overwhelmed.

Although Guangluxun Dinggong found the empress dowager and gave him a great gift, the emperor didn't want to have a direct conflict with the general because of this matter of military power.If Ding Gong became a Taiwei, the general would definitely unite with ministers to force him to hand over military power, which would be even more troublesome.

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Shangshutai cannot handle military affairs, so the matter of the Taiwei cannot be delayed any longer." Huangfu Song bowed and said, "If a country is lawless, it will be chaotic. Your Majesty, as the king of a country, must You can't violate the law, so..."

The emperor didn't like to hear it.He glanced at Huangfusong coldly, and said, "Concentrate on dealing with the war in the western borders, don't be too distracted. I see that you and Lu Aiqing are very tired, so you might as well just sleep in Shangshutai and don't go home."

Huangfusong and Lu Zhi bowed to accept the order.

The emperor thought for a while and asked, "If Lord Situ is to take over, what's your opinion?"

Huangfusong said hastily: "I disagree. Master Situ has always insisted on the strategy of abandoning the border counties. If he is appointed as the Taiwei, the war in the western borders may not be fought."

Lu Zhi also said: "If Your Majesty proposes that Sir Situ should take over the position of Taiwei, there will probably be more opposition in the court meeting."

The emperor pondered for a long time, and said: "I think he is more suitable. I can let him be a captain, but when fighting, the military power will be in the hands of Shang Shutai, how about it?"

Huangfusong and Lu Zhi finally understood what the emperor was thinking, he seemed to be addicted to fighting, and insisted on holding on to the military power.

=====================

The scouts flew to report, and the army of He Lian and Tuoba Feng was coming quickly.

Li Hong said with a smile: "He was chasing so closely, so I had to hit him."

"It's better to fight there." Li Wei said, "If we retreat too quickly, Helian and Tuobafeng will be alerted. If they see through our intentions and decide not to reach Liupanshan, things will be difficult .”

Li Hong shook his head and said: "They have been fighting all the way, but they have found nothing, and they will not stop easily."

"The Xianbei people ran for more than 1000 miles and didn't even catch a sheep. How could they be reconciled?" Yan Rou said with a smile. Killed Liupan Mountain."

Qu Yi asked Xie Ming, "Based on the fastest journey, can Yushi and Gao Lan arrive at Fanting Mountain tomorrow?"

"Before leaving, my lord told them again and again that they must arrive on time in order to provide the army with urgently needed food and grass." Xie Ming replied, "Master Qu, please rest assured that there will be no mistakes."

"Can the army's food and grass last until tomorrow?" Xian Yuyin hurriedly asked, "We traveled all the way lightly, and the rations we carried with us have already been exhausted."

"Barely enough." Song Wen said, "Just checked, it can last for a day, but we must meet up with Master Yushi the day after tomorrow, otherwise we can only drink water."

After discussing the details of defending the city with a group of leading generals, Li Hong immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the city to rest.After running around for days, everyone was exhausted.

"Shouyan, send people to Fanting Mountain immediately, let the people staying there continue to go south, don't stay." Li Hong said to Zheng Xin, "You bring the scout battalion, and Zhang Yun's trilogy, and bring the wounded soldiers. Go to Mount Fanting first."

"Shouyan, you have to be more vigilant when you sleep at night, and don't let the Xianbei people kill you." Xianyuyin said with a smile, "The Xianbei people may bypass Chaona City and directly occupy Fanting Mountain, so as to cut off our retreat."

"Can you say something nice, am I so unlucky?" Zheng Xin patted Xian Yuyin's shoulder and said with a smile, "If you don't trust me, come with me?"

===

Tens of thousands of people escorted the first batch of food and supplies to Linjing City.

Zhao Yun and Liu Ming also rushed to Linjing with five thousand Changshuiying cavalry.

Xian Yufu, Xu Rong and others were introduced by Zhao Yun, and met Liu Ming, Lu Xian, He Feng and other Changshui camp generals.

After Xian Yufu briefly introduced the military situation, he asked, "Have Yan Liang and Jiang Wu left their supplies?"

"According to my lord's order, they were all thrown at Pubanjin Ferry. They are coming day and night, and they will arrive in three or four days." Zhao Yun said, "Are we still waiting for them here?"

"No more." Xian Yufu pointed to the Jingshui River on the map and said, "Let's go up along the Jingshui River and set up an ambush here."

===

At dusk, Helian and Tuobafeng arrived at Chaona City with an army.

He Lian asked to attack immediately, but Tuoba Feng tried his best to dissuade him.Tuoba Feng said: "The soldiers started marching in the middle of the night, and they never rested along the way. Now everyone is physically and mentally exhausted, and it is difficult to launch a fierce attack. Moreover, our losses are too great to attack the city at night, and the gains outweigh the losses."

He Lian couldn't listen, he was worried that Li Hong would take someone away in the middle of the night.He Lian said: "Now Yelao's army has not rushed to Fanting Mountain. If the leopards abandon the city in the middle of the night, regardless of whether there are Han troops stationed in Fanting Mountain, Yelao will be quickly eaten by Li Hong's tens of thousands of troops, so now we must attack the city immediately. , Hold the leopard."

Being able to wipe out Li Hong and the tens of thousands of Han troops in front of him to the north of Liupan Mountain is extremely beneficial for the army to attack Chang'an City.Taking this into consideration, Tuoba Feng reluctantly agreed to attack the city.He asked to rest for two hours temporarily, so that he could wait for the army of Law Day Deduction and Yanli Tour to join up, and then join forces to launch an attack.

He Lian had no choice but to ask Tuoba Feng to allocate 1 horses to Fanting Mountain to help the wild boss army occupy Fanting Mountain and close the door to fight the leopards.Tuoba Feng hesitated again and again, but still refused.

The lesson of losing to the leopard with thousands of troops in Youzhou the year before last was too profound. This leopard is alert and cunning, elusive and elusive.Fanting Mountain is related to the retreat of tens of thousands of leopards, so in such an important position, will he not let them go?Maybe there's a trap there.Tuoba Feng stopped entangled with Helian and turned back to the camp.

Law Ri Deduction, Yan Liyou and others moved slowly, and the army arrived in the middle of the night.

He Lian immediately summoned them to the big tent to discuss matters and asked to attack the city in the middle of the night, but no one agreed.Helian became a little angry from embarrassment.As the army invaded the Han territory more and more deeply, the weight of Helian's words became less and less, and the commanders of the various tribes even confronted and taunted him face to face.In the final analysis, Helian still has no achievements, so it is difficult to convince the public.On the prairie, because his father Tan Shihuai's reputation is still there, everyone more or less gave him some face, but once he left the prairie, especially when it was related to his own life, no one regarded him as a father again. Do one thing.

In this big tent, Tuobafeng, Lu Ri Deyan, and Yan Liyou were all under Tan Shihuai's tent back then, and they refused to accept each other, so everyone fought for a long time, but there was no result.Xu Gui yawned and said, "I'm going to bed, you guys have discussed it, call me again."

Li Ri Deyan and others were unwilling to attack the city. Apart from the fact that the soldiers were too tired to attack the city and worried that they would lose too much, another important reason was that they suspected that this city was also an empty city.

"In such a big Gaoping city, there is nothing but stones." Yan Liyou scratched his bare head and said, "The Han people are obviously well prepared and don't give us anything. Huh, don't give us anything? If we don't give us anything, we will Go to Chang'an, there is everything there, as much as you want."

"If Chao that city is also an empty city, is it worth it for us to attack it with so much effort?" Lv Ri deduced with a smile, "Slap Leopard in a hurry, and he ran away with his ass, and our beating is not in vain. Your Majesty, Leopard Now that we have given up on Sanguan and Gaoping, we will naturally give up Chaona, and stick to the Liupan Mountain area, waiting for reinforcements. I think we will rest in Chaona for a few days, and then fight across Liupan Mountain in one go, heading straight to Chang'an city."

He Lian shook his head and said: "The leopard is the greatest threat to us. If we completely kill the leopard and his [-] cavalry north of Liupan Mountain, then after crossing Liupan Mountain, the Han people will have no strength to stop us from entering Chang'an the city."

He immediately told about his dispatch of Ye Lao to take the lead in occupying Mount Fanting, and He Lian said proudly: "Now is the best time to wipe out the leopards to the north of Liupan Mountain. As long as we hold the leopards here, let Ye Lao There is plenty of time to occupy Mount Fanting, all that remains is to see how we kill this leopard."

Lv Ri Deyan and Yan Li You looked down at the map, and then exchanged a horrified look.The two turned their heads to look at Tuoba Feng who had a gloomy face, and remained silent for a while.

"Two generals, can you agree to attack the city immediately?" He Lian was secretly proud when he saw the uncertain faces of Lu Ri Deyan and Yan Li You, as if he was overwhelmed by his own brilliant plan.

"Hehe..." Lu Ri deduced his beard and said with a dry smile, "Since the king has decided to close the door to fight leopards and let Ye Lao lead his army to occupy Fanting Mountain to cut off the retreat of the Han army, I don't think we need to rush to attack the city."

"Oh?" He Lian asked in surprise, "Can the commander-in-chief tell you the reason?"

"If the leopard knows that he has lost his retreat, he will retreat in a hurry. We can kill him on the way of pursuit." Lüri deduced, "Siege can neither exert the power of our iron cavalry, nor can it severely hit the strength of the Han army. , can only bring us greater losses, so..."

He Lian sneered, thinking that after all, you just don't want to attack the city, a bunch of old and cunning bastards.

===

Law Ri Deduction and Yan Li You walked out of the big tent with heavy worries.

"It's okay for Helian to play tricks and schemes in Danhan Mountain, but in terms of war, he is not even half as good as King Tanshi Huai and his brother Huai Zong." Lu Ri deduced and sighed, "Fanting Mountain is the throat leading to Guanzhong The truth is, when the Leopards abandon the three gates and the city in a row, they must station heavy troops to guard against accidents. This kid actually took it for granted that it was an empty mountain, thinking that he could occupy Fanting Mountain by sending 1 people at will. Cut off the leopard's retreat. A self-righteous idiot."

"Why didn't Tuobafeng stop it?" Yan Liyou said worriedly, "I don't think he has any good intentions. He tried his best to encourage Helian to go south to attack Chang'an and make great achievements. What good will it do him? If Helian becomes The peerless overlord of the grassland, Tuoba Feng is just a dog at Helian's feet, he is not as powerful as he is now."

"Will he want to take advantage of this opportunity to go south to fight and kill Helian?" Lu Ri deduced to look around, then leaned into Yan Liyou's ear and whispered, "Once Helian dies, Danhanshan will immediately fall into a trap." The battle for royal power, and the power of the four masters of the Xianbei Kingdom will become stronger."

Yan Liyou's complexion changed drastically, and his expression was shocked.

"Tuoba Feng has great ambitions. He may want the Tuoba tribe to raise the prairie, and then destroy Danhan Mountain and rule the prairie. He wants to be the king of Xianbei."

Yan Liyou laughed "puchi" and snorted, "Just him? Shit."

Lv Ri Deyan stared at him seriously, and said in a low voice, "Now Helian's son, Qianman, is young. If Helian dies, Qianman will succeed. Tuobafeng is Qianman's uncle, and he assists Xiao Wang in governing the country. The Xianbei Kingdom is a matter of course. With this convenience, Tuoba Feng can greatly expand the strength of the Tuoba tribe, and in time..."

Yan Liyou patted his bald head suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, yes, it makes sense. Commander Murong Feng is now in Baitan City, and the leader is in Yanmen County. If Helian dies, it will be difficult to spread the news for a while. To their ears. When they found out, Tuoba Feng had already gone to Danhan Mountain to support Qianman to succeed him. High, high, this plan is really high." Then he looked suspiciously at Lu Ri's deduction, and smiled strangely He said, "It's not good to fight with Lian, but in this game, Tuoba Feng may not be better than him."

Yan Liyou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't guess wildly, even if Helian loses 1 people, it doesn't matter, we still have 11 horses, and we can still enter Chang'an City."

The look in Li Ri Deyan's eyes fluctuated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

===

After Tuoba Feng walked out of the big tent, he hurriedly caught up with Lvri Deduction and Yanliyou.

"Why didn't the two generals persuade the king to bring Yelao's army back in time?" Tuoba Feng complained, "I tried to persuade you many times, but the king insisted on going his own way."

Yan Liyou glanced at Tuoba Feng in surprise, and said: "Ye Lao's army is about to arrive at Fanting Mountain, why should you dissuade him? It should be you, my lord. Why didn't your lord explain the situation on the battlefield to the king last night? ?”

"Your Majesty said that the leopards are going to withdraw from Mount Liupan, and they want to lure us to the south of Mount Liupan before looking for a chance to defeat us." Tuoba Feng explained helplessly, "He doesn't listen to me at all."

Lüri deduced with a sneer, and said: "Part of the leopard's army has already rushed to Hanyang County to suppress the rebellion, and some infantry have not yet arrived at Liupan Mountain because of their slow movement. We can count all the troops in his hands. How much, why didn't you tell the king clearly?"

"The Han people would not have thought that the king and your army would appear at Muxia Pass." Yan Liyou also said, "The leopard suddenly found that he was going to defend against an army of 12. What else could he do but retreat quickly? Are all the troops lost to the north of Liupan Mountain? Then Chang’an’s defense is really gone? My lord, have you explained all these situations to the king?”

Tuoba Feng nodded again and again, and said seriously: "I've said it all, and I also said that if the leopard dared to give up Liupan Mountain, he would be beheaded by the emperor of the Han Kingdom, but the king is determined to encircle and wipe out the leopard to the north of Liupan Mountain , he couldn't listen."

Lv Ri Deyan and Yan Li You looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion, they did not speak.

"Your Majesty and Leopard have a personal enmity." Tuoba Feng said, "Leopard once killed His Majesty's woman in Huahongyuan, robbed His Majesty of his treasure, and made His Majesty lose face. Let go of your hatred."

"Didn't your lord's handsome Tuoba Hong fall into the hands of a dead leopard that time?" Yan Liyou said with a smile, "My lord's son was also killed by a leopard. I'm afraid your lord's thoughts are the same as your lord's?"

Tuoba Feng smiled lightly and said, "Of course I want to boil the leopard, but I want to break into Chang'an City even more, so tomorrow's siege..."

"As I said, there is no need to attack the city at all." Lüri Deduction flatly refused, "We wait for the leopard to abandon the city and flee, just chase along the road. The battle will be at Mount Fanting."

===

Lüri deduced watching Tuoba Feng's majestic back disappear into the night, with a trace of murderous look on his face.

"Langtou, we need to be careful on this road."

"He's lying to us." Yan Liyou sneered, "We have fought with him for decades under King Tanshihuai's tent, who can he deceive with his little trick?"

"Look, should we send someone back to inform Luozhi Dianluoluo and let him pay attention to the situation in Danhanshan?" Lu Ri deduced and said in a low voice, "If our Western Xianbei seizes the opportunity, we can give it a hard knock." Tuoba Feng."

"Alright." Yan Liyou nodded and said, "Tuoba Feng wants us to be his back, but there is always a price to pay. It's just that the king..."

"Unrivaled achievements?" Lu Ri deduced and sighed, "If it were you and me, our minds would not be clear. If we capture Chang'an this time, Helian can return to Danhan Mountain safely. He is the successor to King Tanshihuai. The second overlord on the grassland, even Marshal Murong Feng, will also bow his head to worship."

=====================

In the middle of the night, Zheng Xin and Zhang Yun led their troops up Mount Fanting.

On Fanting Mountain, dozens of bonfires were lit, and many people who escaped from Chaona City stayed on the mountain and refused to leave.In their view, there are many Han troops on Mount Fanting, and after a period of fighting, they will definitely help them take back the city.After the Xianbei people were defeated, they could go home immediately, saving them from running hundreds of miles back and forth.

Zheng Xin and Zhang Yun rode up the mountain, and were pleasantly surprised to find that they were greeted by Yushi, Gao Lan, Huzi and others.

"Congyi, Zhengqing, Huzi..." Zheng Xinfei got off his horse and ran over cheering, "When did you arrive? When did you arrive?"

"It will be here in the afternoon." Yushi smiled, "Because of the urgent military situation, we were worried about delaying things, so we rushed day and night, and finally arrived a day earlier. How is the battle ahead?"

"As soon as your lord arrived in Gaoping, he immediately ordered us to abandon the three gates and retreat across the board. Now we have retreated to Chaona City." Zheng Xin said with a smile, "It's great that you are here. We have solved the problem of food, grass and weapons, and we can go back immediately." Hit the Xianbei people."

"Your Excellency said that?" Gao Lan asked happily, "Want to fight at Fanting Mountain?"

Zheng Xin chuckled.

Zhang He smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency told us to continue to retreat, all the way past Liupan Mountain, but if someone came to our door and asked us to fight, we have to fight, don't you think?"

"Where are the Xianbei people?" Beard called, "Where are they?"

===

Ye Lao looked at the pitch-black Fanting Mountain, hesitating endlessly.

"Commander, the scouts reported that there were no traces of the Han army in Fanting Mountain, but a large number of fires were found, and they were still warm. Obviously, there were a large number of people stationed on the mountain not long ago." Xiaoshuai Yingyi reported, "Marshal, should we go up the mountain now?"

Ye Lao shook his head and said, "Stay here and wait until dawn."
