Jia Xu raised his wine glass and touched it with Han Sui's. "It seems that there is a chance to hear your name at the next celebration banquet."
Han Sui immediately said: "That depends on whether the attendant can help me."
"I?"
"Yes." Han Sui stared into Jia Xu's eyes, his heart beating faster.
Jia Xu rolled her eyes and laughed silently. "If there is anything I can do for you, I'd be honored."
"Then I will go to your account to ask for advice later?"
"Okay." Jia Xu nodded.
Han Sui felt relieved, finally showed a happy smile, and hummed along with the beat again.
The young officials will drink after singing and enter the free performance time.Lu Xiaohuan jumped up, pulled two female battalion knights, and danced first.
The singing is loud and clear, and the atmosphere is more enthusiastic.
-
Ju Yanze.
Yan Chi sat cross-legged in front of the firepit, staring at the swaying flames with blood-red eyes, motionless.
Alinman sat aside, bowed her waist, chewing the meat in her mouth fiercely, and her teeth rattled.
After chasing thousands of miles, nearly a thousand people paid the price, but in the end they still failed to catch the wolf rider.Yan Chi was very embarrassed, and began to doubt whether his decision was wise.The emperor of the Han family is in Xiu Tuze, and there are more knights of the Han family around him. Can he catch up with him for a bargain?
He had just discussed with Luozhi Dianluoluo and Rilu Deduction, and both of them expressed that they didn't want to chase him anymore.Fuluohan has already proved one thing with his life. Today's Xianbei is no longer the Xianbei when King Tanshihuai was alive, and fighting the Han people head-on will not help him to seek his own death.
The wolves can't ride more than a hundred, and they have already killed them badly.What are the chances of winning against the elite cavalry around the emperor of the Han family?
As we all know, although the emperor of the Han family is young, he is a genius in military affairs, and he is ruthless.Either don't fight, or fight to kill them all.
"If you want to retreat, you should retreat further." Alinman threw the bone in his hand into the fire and straightened his waist.
"Us?" Yan Chi glanced at Alinman. "Where are you going?"
"Go anywhere, find Budugen, find Ke Bineng, or simply ask the Han emperor to surrender." Alinman wiped her oily lips with her sleeve. "Anyway, the Xianbei people are finished. Instead of wandering around with you, it is better to follow the Huns and surrender to the Han people. Maybe you can live a peaceful life for a few days. You have also seen Ke Bineng's ranch. It is not bad. It is also close to the Han people. Even if there is a snowstorm, you can still get relief.”
Yan Chi frowned even tighter.
He had indeed seen Ke Bineng's ranch, and knew that what Alinman said was true, but this was not the result he wanted.If Ke Bineng is not driven away, how can he gain a foothold in Junji Mountain?
If you still want to go back to the Western Regions in the end, why did you have to travel all the way here in the first place?
"Also, the farther you go, the better." Alinman glanced at Yan Chi, and said, "The little emperor of the Han is an ambitious guy. Xiu Tuze won’t leave. When the Han people regain their vitality, can he still let you herd horses in the Western Regions? At most ten years, he will go further than Huo Qubing.”
Hearing Huo Qubing's name, Yan Chi shivered, his face changed slightly.
They were driven to the west by Fu Luohan, and they didn't hear much news about the Han people, except Huo Qubing's name was often heard.Some people miss it, some people fear it. Even though the young general of the Han family has passed away for more than 300 years, he is still the God of War that countless people cannot face.
If the emperor of the Han family went further than Huo Qubing, how could they gain a foothold in the Western Regions?We can only imitate the people of Dayuezhi and migrate westward until they reach the west of Congling.It is said that the Da Yuezhi people lived there for hundreds of years and established a Guishuang Kingdom.
But it was too far away, tens of thousands of miles away from Xianbei Mountain.Even after death, the soul will have to go for a long time before returning home.
"How do you know that the little emperor of the Han people is so ambitious?" Yan Chi said casually.
Alinman raised her hand and pointed to the golden step that was inserted into the bun. "Do you know where this came from?"
Yan Chi glanced at it, feeling a little strange, not like the jewelry he gave Alineman. "Where did it come from?"
"A merchant from the Western Regions sold it to me. He told me that their leader is Anthony, who is a good friend of the little Han emperor. He has done a lot of business with the little Han emperor. The little Han emperor wanted to do business with them when he attacked the grasslands. business, selling the silk of the Han people all the way to the Great Aral Sea.”
Yan Chi was taken aback. "The Great Aral Sea? Isn't it the Aral Sea of Guishuang?"
"No, it's the Great Aral Sea to the west of the Aral Sea in Guishuang." Alinman sneered: "A bigger Aral Sea is in Rome."
Yan Chi's face changed again and again, staring at Alinman for a long time without speaking.He suspected that Alinman was lying to him.If the little Han emperor really thought so, it would be useless for him to flee to the west of Congling.
"Woman, don't try to lie to me, I won't believe you."
"I didn't expect you to believe it either." Alinman stood up. "How can a frightened lamb believe in the thoughts of a beast. You, run far away while you can still run, and don't be trampled by the Han people like your useless father. died."
After Alinman finished speaking, she turned around and left the account.
Yan Chi became angry with embarrassment, his white face flushed.He looked down on Abba Yan Liyou the most, and felt that he was old and no longer had the courage of a wild wolf, so he colluded with Alinman and took the position of commander-in-chief.Unexpectedly, just a few days later, he became the object of Alineman's contempt just like Yan Liyou.
He really wanted to catch up and beat Alynman hard.
But what's the use?Yan Liyou also beat Alinman, and almost beat Alinman to death, but he still couldn't make Alinman surrender.
A man on the prairie can only win the respect from a woman's heart if he defeats his opponent.
Just when Yan Chi was angry, a handsome young man rushed in.
"Commander, we repelled Ma Chao."
Yan Chi didn't react for a while, and raised his face. "Who did you beat?"
"Ma Chao is the Han general who killed Fu Luo Han's son Lou Man. We defeated his [-] cavalry and captured a batch of armor." Xiaoshuai said, placing a set of armor in front of Yan Chi. "The armor of the Han people is really good, strong and light."
Yan Chi touched the armor, his heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that not all Han Chinese cavalry are as good at fighting as wolf cavalry.
Chapter 513 Dripping water into ice
Yan Chi inquired carefully about the situation of the battle, and then took the captured armor to find Luozhi Lianluoluo.
Seeing Yanchi coming again, Luozhi Dianluoluo was very impatient.But after seeing the Han army-style armor brought by Yan Chi, he was moved.
Xianbei people are mercenary.To fight or not to fight depends on the gains and losses.As the commander in chief of the tribe, he had to consider the balance of strength between each other and ensure his own safety.
Before rejecting Yan Chi's suggestion, it was because he was frightened by the record of wolf cavalry, and he didn't want to go crazy with Yan Chi.So far, the wild wolf tribe has suffered the most. Even the old wolf Yan Liyou was captured alive by the wolf cavalry.Instead of following Yan Chi to smash the Han army's iron cavalry to the death, it is better to think about how to annex the wild wolf tribe and strengthen your own strength.
But if the Han army was not as powerful as imagined, the situation would be completely different.
There is no shortage of cavalry on the grasslands, but there is a shortage of iron tools, and even less of craftsmen who can make armor.There are very few people who own a full set of armor, and most of them are spoils of looting over the years. The standard is different, and the protection ability is also very different.In most cases, only the personal guard cavalry of the tribal commander and junior commander can wear armor, and the armor rate of ordinary knights is pitifully low.
Among other things, if Yan Chi defeated the Han army and captured a large number of Han army-style armor, it would break the balance on the grassland.
Looking at the armor in front of him, Luo Zhi Dian Luo Luo fell into deep thought.
He wanted to attack the Han army with Yan Chi and get a share of the pie, but he was also worried that Yan Chi would deceive him.
This kind of thing is not uncommon on the grassland.He and Rilu Deduction just now were still discussing how to carve up the wild wolf tribe.
"Ma Chao can kill Lou Man, he should not be weak, how could he lose to your striker?" Luo Luoluo withdrew his hand reluctantly, and said, "How many people does your striker have?"
"In a head-to-head confrontation, we may have no chance of winning. If we enter the desert, it will be our world." Yan Chi laughed and said: "Ma Chao's martial arts is nothing to say, you and I may not be opponents. But he doesn't know how to fight in the desert. Survival, after being introduced into the desert by my subordinates, I lost my way. Commander, wolf riders are actually horse thieves in armor, and they are warriors selected from thousands of miles. Why are there only a hundred riders? Because they can only pick so many People, there is nothing more to think about."
Yan Chi carefully put away the armor and handed it to the guards. "Apart from anything else, do you think the little Han emperor can find a second Lu Bu?"
Luo Zhi and Luo Luo looked at Yan Chi without saying a word.
"If you are willing to go with me, we will have a good fight with the Han people. If you don't want to go, I will harass them and take a bite when you get the chance. How much you can eat depends on your luck. Anyway, for us, the Han people's Armors are good things, if you don’t dare to touch the elite of the little Han emperor, can’t you attack the county soldiers?”
Luo Luoluo thought for a while. "How many cavalry do you estimate the little Han emperor has?"
"Up to [-]." Yan Chi raised three fingers. "Twenty thousand of them belong to Han Sui's Xiliang army. You should know better than me who Han Sui is."
Hearing Han Sui's name, Luo Zhilian Luoluo raised his eyebrows involuntarily. "Okay, I'll discuss it with Rilaw Deduction again."
"I'll give you two days." Yan Chi stood up. "Whether you come or not, I will leave in two days."
-
After the celebration banquet was over and the emperor and empress left, Han Sui and Jia Xu left together.
After stepping out of the warm tent, Han Sui's feverish head became clearer when he was blown by the biting cold wind.He drew his cloak tighter, and crouched his neck.
"Looking at it like this, I'm afraid this winter will be tough again."
"It's better to be tough." Jia Xu said lightly: "The more difficult it is, the stronger the Xianbei people's desire to enter the fortress, and the greater the chance of severely injuring them."
"Having said that, it is very difficult to deal with the crazy Xianbei people. If they can't be stopped, not only Liangzhou will be unlucky, but Guanzhong may not be able to keep it. I heard from Ziyi that although Dutian in Guanzhong encountered some troubles, but After two years, Guanzhong is still doing well. If it is looted by the Xianbei people, it will be miserable."
"Then you should think about how to stop the Xianbei people so that they can't move forward."
"What can I do? This place is full of deserts and plains, let alone a city, there is not even a single wall."
Jia Xu laughed out loud.Han Sui turned his head to look at him, and pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what Jia Xu had to offer.Jia Xu didn't speak, and walked all the way back to her tent.When he came to the door of the tent, he suddenly said: "You drank a lot of wine just now, why don't you untie your hands before entering the tent, lest you have to come out again when you get warmer later."
Han Sui nodded without thinking too much.He was indeed a little anxious, but he was embarrassed to say it.
Jia Xu entered the account, and Han Sui transferred it to the account. There was a specially dug hole here, and there was already some urine in it, but it was frozen solid.Han Sui looked at the ice, and suddenly his heart moved, and then he smiled.
What's so difficult about building a wall in the weather when dripping water turns into ice?Sand piles are used during the day, poured with water, and overnight, it becomes a frozen wall, which is stronger than a real wall.
After Han Sui released his hands, he went back to Jia Xu's tent.Jia Xu had already ordered someone to prepare water for washing his hands, so Han Sui washed his hands, walked over to Jia Xu and sat down. "Wenhe, I just thought of a way to build a wall."
Jia Xu raised her eyelids and glanced at Han Sui. "tell me the story."
"Build a wall with sand, pour water on it, freeze it overnight, and it will be done."
Jia Xu was not surprised at all. "Then how do you plan to arrange the position?"
"Isn't it easy to do with a wall?" Han Sui was very excited. "Tomorrow morning, I will order people to dig and build walls to surround the imperial camp. Build more walls, as long as there are enough arrows, even if a hundred thousand Xianbei come, I can stop them."
"It's not enough to block it." Jia Xu shook his head. "What the emperor wants is not to block the Xianbei people, but to severely injure the Xianbei people. It is best to wipe them out."
"Then..." Han Sui rolled his eyes. "Lure the enemy to go deep, injure them severely in positional warfare, and then send Qingqi to pursue them."
"It's feasible. Can you tell me in detail how to arrange the troops?"
With Jia Xu's approval, Han Sui became even more excited, and carefully talked about his plan.He has been marching for many years, and he has rich combat experience. In the past six months, he has done special training for siege, and his confidence has greatly increased.Even if he doesn't discuss with Jia Xu, he can arrange it properly.It's just that it's a rare opportunity to compete with Jia Xu, so he certainly hopes to be more fully prepared.
Strange to say, when sitting opposite Jia Xu, his thinking is very open, and all kinds of whimsical ideas emerge in endlessly.

Liu Xie returned to the big tent, sent the slightly drunk Queen Fushou back to the tent, turned around and sat in Xun Wenqian's tent for a while.
Xun Wenqian caught a cold and felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't go to the celebration banquet today and was lying on the bed reading a book.Seeing Liu Xie coming in, she was greatly surprised, and quickly put on her clothes and sat up.
"You don't need to get up." Liu Xie sat down by the bed, leaned over, and kissed Xun Wenqian on the forehead.It's still a little hot, but it's okay. "I'll come to see you, and I'll go back to deal with business later."
"Your Majesty, take care of your health." Xun Wenqian blushed slightly.Although she has been married for many years, she is still not comfortable with Liu Xie's intimacy.
Liu Xie sighed. "I also want to go to bed earlier, but the Xianbei people don't agree. After this battle is over, it may be better."
"After this battle, will His Majesty return to Hedong?"
"Missing your parents? Why don't you go back to Hedong to see your relatives after the spring begins. You have been with me for two years, so you should go back and have a look."
"If His Majesty doesn't return, neither will I." Xun Wenqian shook her head. "They keep each other company, I don't need to accompany them, I will accompany His Majesty."
Liu Xie smiled and touched Xun Wenqian's face. "Alright, although I can't go back to Hedong for the time being, it will be soon." He helped Xun Wenqian tuck up the quilt, got up and left.
A cavalry servant stood outside the tent. "Your Majesty, Ma Chao, Captain of the Qiang Guard, asks to see you."
Chapter 514
Ma Chao was in a bad mood.
Although it was pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy, it was not considered a real defeat, but it was a bit aggrieved to pretend to be in the middle of the ambush, even if it was clearly capable of inflicting serious damage on the opponent.When I returned to Daying, I found that I missed the celebration banquet, and I felt even more awkward.
Standing outside the imperial camp, he paced back and forth, looking at the imperial tent from time to time.
Ma Yunlu hurried over and handed Ma Chao a rice ball soaked in gravy. "Eat it quickly, it's still hot."
Ma Chao was really hungry, he reached out to take it, and devoured it hungrily. "It would be better if there was wine."
"I'm going to see the emperor soon, how can I drink." Ma Yunlu seized the time and told the general situation, especially the emperor's pardon for Lu Bu's crime of digging the imperial tomb.
Ma Chao was surprised when he heard this. "That's okay too?"
"The emperor has rewarded and punished you, and the grievances and grievances are clear. If you do things well, the emperor will naturally not let you down."
"It doesn't matter whether he lives up to me or not, I'm afraid that he will let you down."
"You don't mind my business." Ma Yunlu glared at Ma Chao, turned around and left.
Ma Chao sighed and smacked his lips helplessly.
After a while, someone came to report, and the emperor let him into the camp.Ma Chao tidied up his clothes, adjusted his mood, and strode to the imperial tent to sign up.The voice of the emperor came from the tent, and someone raised the tent. Ma Chao came in, came to the emperor, and bowed to salute.
"Your Majesty, the minister is back."
"Well, sit down." Sitting in front of the firepit, Liu Xie handed a clay cup to Ma Chao, picked up the teapot on the fire, and poured half a cup of hot tea for Ma Chao.Ma Chao was flattered, holding the cup in both hands, his hands were warm, and his heart was also warm.
Liu Xie roasted half a piece of lamb leg on the fire. "Wait a while, the meat will be ready soon."
