There is no reason why Yu Wenzhao should not be in a hurry.

At the beginning, he worked hard for a long time to kill the ancient Yuwen Hao with Yuwen Jie, and put Yuwen Jie's position as the head of the Helan tribe, so as to take the largest tribe in addition to the king's tent without blood, this time he sent troops to attack Jimen Pass, in addition to Yuwenzhao's royal tent, it was also the Helan department that contributed the most, as the second largest force among the Yuwen tribes, the Helan department must not be lost.

He was so anxious that he only took a few hundred guards with him, and left Jizhou overnight and rushed to the Helan Department.

Along the way, the news of the Helan Department kept reaching his ears, and Yuwen Zhao realized that the Helan Department had indeed changed hands, and at the same time he roughly knew what was going on, from the Qigui Department to the Helan Department, it was the cavalry of the suspected Yunzhou Army, stirring up the storm outside the pass.

Yuwen Zhao has worked hard to run the Yuwen Department for many years, but it was completely demolished by this cavalry.

In a fit of rage, the Yuwen Heavenly King immediately ordered the Qigui Department to block the way of the cavalry.

Since Yuwen Jie's death, then Yuwen Zhao naturally would not go to the Helan Department rashly with his own risk, he ordered the Qigui Department to stop this Yunzhou cavalry, and then transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jizhou, surrounded the past, ready to eat this Yunzhou cavalry first, and then slowly clean up the mess.

Li Xin entered the customs from Yunzhou and went deep into the Helan Department, with more than 10,000 cavalry all the way, there was naturally no problem if no one noticed it, but once someone paid attention, it would be difficult to hide his figure. On the way they retreated from the Helan Department to Yunzhou City, Ye Mao noticed that something was wrong.

At this time, they were still about three or four hundred miles away from Yunzhou City, and after Ye Mao led a team of cavalry to investigate, he sent several teams of scouts, and he himself walked in front of Li Xin with a serious face, bowed his head and said, "General, the situation is not very good." ”

Li Xin rode on the horse, looked at Ye Mao, and said, "Someone is blocking the road?" ”

Ye Mao nodded and said: "The brothers of the scout camp, in the process of exploring, they were injured a lot, and some people saw a lot of Xianbei people, cruising in front of us, looking at the direction...... It should be a member of the beggar tribe. ”

"After such a long time, it is estimated that Yu Wenzhao, who is far away in Jizhou, has also discovered that something is wrong."

Li Xin sneered: "The Qigui Department has injured so many people, and it still obeys Yuwen Zhaoyan, it is really an out-and-out loyal dog." ”

Li Xin was out of Yunzhou during the year, and now he has gone from the Qigui Department to the Helan Department, and more than a month has passed between the tosses and turns, and in a few days it will be the New Year Festival of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao, so long, so many people, and so many big things, it is wrong not to be discovered by Yuwenzhao.

Li Xin had already anticipated this situation, so he asked Ye Ye Mao to contact Yunzhou City in advance and asked the Seed Family Army to go out of the city as much as possible to pick them up and enter the customs, but now, if the Qigui Department in the middle intervenes, Li Xin and the others will suffer heavy losses if they want to rush through the defense line of the Qigui Department.

On the opposite side are all Xianbei people who are good at shooting, more than 10,000 "cavalry" who only learn to ride horses, even if there are not many people in the Qigui Division, those who can return to Yunzhou City alive are probably 12 out of 10.

Therefore, even Li Xin scolded the beggar department with some gaffes.

Ye Mao stood behind Li Xin, silent.

General Li frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Is there any reply from the Chongwu side?" ”

Now in this situation, I have no choice but to cooperate with the family army and forcibly break out of the encirclement of the beggar department.

"Not yet."

Ye Mao lowered his head and said: "Calculate the time, now that the letter is estimated to have just been sent to Yunzhou City, it is still unknown whether the Seed Army will venture out of the city to meet us, even if they are willing to go out of the city, I am afraid there will not be too many." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Mao was silent for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "Besides, I'm afraid the news that I and my uncle have already been sent to the capital, and the emperor in the capital, whether he wants us to return to the customs alive, no one can say." ”

Li Xin shook his head: "This is the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army of the imperial court, to put it mildly, even if more than 10,000 people all die outside the pass, I am sure that you and I will enter the pass safely." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin waved his hand: "Order to stop the army and camp on the spot." ”

In the face of the military order, Ye Mao was not ambiguous, and immediately nodded in agreement, and it didn't take long for more than 10,000 people to stop and find a slope to camp on.

When the camp was set up in the afternoon, by the time the camp was finished, the sun had almost set halfway up the hillside, Li Xin summoned a group of generals, including Ye Mao, and dozens of people sat neatly on the flat ground in Li Xinshuai's tent.

Li Xin was the only one who sat on the chair, his face serious.

"You must already know what the situation is. The beggar department is blocking the way in front, and even if we rush through, there will be no more people left, so we can't force it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Let's camp here for the time being, and the scout battalion will send two more lieutenant battalions to investigate behind us, and if we find someone following behind our buttocks, come over and report immediately." ”

In addition to the intelligence problem, it is the specific defense problem and the problem of military formation, these things Ye Mao is more professional than Li Xin, Li Xin simply asked Ye Mao to preside over this "military meeting", Ye Guogong was not ambiguous, stood up from the ground, and arranged all the captains and captains' errands, and only half an hour, all the generals in the handsome tent dispersed, leaving only Li Xin and Ye Mao.

Ye Mao took a sip of water, looked at Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Uncle, although it is not easy to rush over, but since the Qigui Department is blocking the road in front, Yuwen Zhaobacheng will catch up from behind, and we can't wait for death here." ”

He looked at Li Xin and asked, "Helan is ...... now?" What's going on? ”

Li Xin sat back in his seat and said silently: "Shen Gang has personally gone to the Helan Ministry, the situation of the Helan Ministry will be sent back in the next few days, we will wait here for three days, and if there is no news from the Helan Ministry, after three days, we will prepare to forcibly rush through the defense line of the Qigui Ministry." ”

Ye Mao nodded yes, then found a chair in the tent and sat down, he looked at Li Xin, and said, "Uncle Shi, in three days...... If you can't wait for the news of the Helan Ministry, you will let Shen Gang take you into the customs secretly, and leave it to me here. ”

Li Xin frowned and looked at Ye Mao, shook his head and said, "There is no reason for this, even if I want to leave, I will take you with me." ”

Ye Mao smiled.

"I have two sons, one of whom has been sent to the southwest, even if something happens to me, the incense of the Ye family will not be broken, now the Jimen Pass has been broken, the Zhenbei Army almost does not exist, and the decades of hard work of my father and ancestors have been ruined, if I can die outside the pass, it will not be a shame for the Ye family."

After being forced from Jimen Pass and the Zhenbei Army suffered heavy casualties, Ye Mao rarely showed a smile anymore, and there was always a knot in his heart.

Li Xin frowned and walked in front of Ye Mao, and said, "You didn't lose the thistle gate, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"Before Master Ye left, he asked me to take care of you, if I don't nod, you can't die, otherwise how will I explain to Master Ye in the future?"

General Li stretched out his hand and patted Ye Mao's shoulder, and said softly, "Relax." ”

"I promise you, no matter what, the Zhenbei Army will be rebuilt."

"The blood feud of Jimen Pass will definitely be avenged by you in person in the future."
