Yuan Xi stopped talking, but Tian Feng on the side frowned, and asked Zhao Yun again.

"General Zhao Yun, we also know that food is in short supply, but now we are indeed very short, if you have extra grain and grass, we can exchange it for other materials."

Tian Feng is a smart person, he is not as shameless as Yuan Xi, he just asks for it directly, even if Zhao Yun has such a thing, there is a high probability that he will not take the initiative to give it away.

Only a fool would give the food directly to Yuan Xi.

But when Tian Feng said this, it was different.

After all, Tian Feng wanted to use materials and Zhao Yun to buy grain and grass.

The meaning of such a proposal is different.

Zhao Yun was slightly silent, looked at the people present, and asked tentatively.

"What can you get in exchange?"

"What do you want?"

"War Horse!"

Zhao Yun immediately opened his mouth and replied to them.

In the hands of Yuan Xi and Bundun, there are not many things in their hands, and the only thing that can arouse Zhao Yun's peep is the war horse.

Although the current Zhao Yun is not short of war horses, they can get some war horses from Xiliang, those Qiang people, and even those Huns in Bingzhou.

But after all, these war horses are not war horses trained in the Han Dynasty's own horse farm.

There will always be times when you run out of steam, and if you want to train a powerful cavalry, no amount of horses will be too much.

If these people in Karasuma are really willing to take out their war horses in exchange for grain and grass.

Zhao Yun was able to grit his teeth and give Yuan Xi some food and grass.

Otherwise, Yuan Xi, who had lost his grain and grass, really didn't want to fight with Liu Zheng here, and left directly with his own people, so Zhao Yun's trip was in vain.

Of course, even if Zhao Yun was able to bring some grain and grass to Yuan Xi, the amount would definitely not be too much.

"War horses?"

Yuan Xi and Tian Feng hesitated slightly.

His eyes brushed over to Badun.

He was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was an opportunity, but he was reluctant to give up his war horse, but there was no way, if he didn't exchange it from Zhao Yun, he wouldn't be able to get grain and grass from other places.

Besides, the grain and grass that Zhongshan Kingdom snatched was indeed lost by him.

Now this pot, he must be on his back.

So I could only grit my teeth and agree.

"War horses are war horses."

"How many horses are you going to trade them for?"

Seeing that the other party agreed, Zhao Yun was naturally happy and immediately asked.

The two sides soon began to discuss and discuss the matter of exchanging war horses for grain and grass.

Naturally, it was a bit of bargaining, and in the end they reluctantly negotiated a price that was acceptable to both parties.

After some discussion, Zhao Yun happily returned from Lecheng County.

I plan to go back to prepare grain and grass to raise grain and grass for Yuan Xi and others for the next half month.

And Yuan Xi and others also began to lay out defense.

Because their spies brought him news.

From the direction of Bohai County, there was a movement of a large army.

The smart Tian Feng immediately knew that this was Liu Zheng's headquarters soldiers and horses that had finally arrived in Jizhou, and went straight to Hejian and came.

A big war will soon come.

The pressure immediately fell on Yuan Xi's head.

However, Yuan Xi really didn't worry that he still had a backhand.

Some Xianbei soldiers and horses hidden in the Liaozhong region can finally be dispatched at this moment.

After learning the news.

Yuan Xi immediately ordered his heralds to quickly return to Liaodong and give orders to the Xianbei people.

The message is delivered quickly, and it won't be long.

Those Xianbei people were able to learn the news of what happened in Hejian County, and then led tens of thousands of cavalry to support quickly.

These things are really not clear to Liu Zheng for leading the soldiers and horses to Hejian County.

After he led the army to persuade Zhu Ling to surrender, the army came directly to the boundary of Lecheng County.

Rendezvous with Xu Huang, who was stationed near Lecheng County.

Liu Zheng learned from Xu Huang's mouth about what happened in Lecheng County.

originally thought that he could quickly kill Lecheng County, and he was caught off guard by beating Yuan Xi.

But now I learned from Xu Huang that the men and horses of Badun had returned to support.

Liu Zheng also dispelled this idea.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing Liu Zheng, Xu Huang's face was not very good-looking.

Because this time he led his cavalry to pursue, but in Lecheng County, he encountered obstacles, and he didn't get any advantage here at all.

Not only did he fail to defeat Yuan Xi in one fell swoop, but he lost some soldiers and horses here.

Speaking of which, if Xu Huang hadn't taken the lead in advancing and brought the men and horses here, I am afraid that Yuan Xi might not have been able to transfer these centaurs back so quickly.

"Gongming, how is Lecheng County now?"

"There are tens of thousands of troops stationed, Yuan Xi should be planning to fight us in Lecheng, and he is already strengthening the city wall, and it seems that he has the intention to fight a big battle with us here."

"However, two days ago, I have ordered Zhang He to lead hundreds of elite horsemen to the border of Zhongshan Country to surprise their baggage team transporting grain.

"Now, they should be in the stage of food shortage. Your Majesty, as long as we besiege this Lecheng for a period of time, Yuan Xi will definitely be self-defeating. ”

Although he was not able to defeat Yuan Xi directly and capture Yuan Xi alive.

But in the past few days that Xu Huang has been here, he has not done nothing.

He burned the grain and grass that he had looted, which was also a merit.

At least, it's enough to prove itself somewhat useful.

Liu Zheng had already learned about this matter before, and after mastering this information, he also quite agreed with Xu Huang's proposal.

After all, if Yuan Xi's rebels can be wiped out without much effort, then why wouldn't Liu Zheng do it?

Moreover, once a battle broke out, if the soldiers and horses on both sides fought the battlefield, too many soldiers were killed and wounded, and horses were not a good thing for Liu Zheng, and the pensions for the soldiers who died in the battle alone were a large expense.

If you can avoid it, try to avoid it.

Liu Zheng himself was not very willing to let his soldiers and Yuan Xi's cavalry face each other head-to-head on the battlefield.

The number of cavalry under Liu Zheng is already small, and the number of cavalry under Yuan Xi is even more, all of them are the cavalry of the Karasuma people, if they really face off head-on on the battlefield, Liu Zheng's chances of winning are still not great, and he is not 100% sure.

However, although they didn't plan to attack Yuan Xi immediately, since their army had already arrived, they naturally had to approach the city tower in Lecheng County.

Only by stationing soldiers and horses under Lecheng County can Yuan Xi and others be surrounded in Lecheng County, so as to prevent them from breaking through and escaping from here.
