Yu Wentao, the patriarch of the Heran tribe, was once forced by his uncle to the point of raising horses in the horse farm, and later with the help of Li Xin, he was able to return to the clan and inherit the position of the patriarch.

At that time, he also had some verbal agreements with Li Xin, such as that the Helan Ministry would be friendly with the Central Plains Imperial Court in the future, accept the title of the Central Plains Imperial Court, and promise not to invade the border passes of the Central Plains Imperial Court again, and at the same time Li Xin also promised Yu Wenzhao that the Central Plains Imperial Court and the Helan Ministry could exchange each other, so that they could exchange fur and beef and mutton jerky for some grain, rice, oil and salt, so as to ensure that they would not starve in winter.

Originally, if Yuwen Tao'an divided some, through the cooperation with the Great Jin Dynasty and the agreement with Li Xin, the Helan tribe would be the most nourishing tribe in the Yuwen tribe, but unfortunately, not every Xianbei person is Yuwen Zhao.

First of all, Yu Wentao has no ability, otherwise he would not have been driven to the horse farm by his uncle, after becoming the patriarch, his nature was gradually exposed, not only lustful, but also very cruel and arrogant.

After his uncle Yuwen Jie's death, he killed all his uncle's sons, occupied his aunt and two cousins, and became the woman in his tent.

Especially after Yuwen Zhao died.

When Yuwen Zhao was alive, Yu Wentao was somewhat afraid of this Yuwen Heavenly King, who had been the co-lord of Xianbei, but after Yuwen Zhao died of illness, the actions of the Helan Department became more and more unbridled, not only forcibly occupying the horse farm of the king's tent, but also fighting for it.

After the first collision, the Helan Department encountered the "siege" of the king's tent and suffered some losses, Yuwentao, who had swelled to a certain extent, was furious, and directly transferred 20,000 young men from the Helan tribe to advance towards the king's tent.

When Yuwen Zhao unified the Xianbei Department, it was the peak of the entire Xianbei Department, and together they could take out more than 200,000 troops, but after Yuwen Zhao attacked Jizhou, the strength of the entire Xianbei Department suddenly dropped a step, and the originally strong Wang Tent only had 50,000 troops left, and not all of them were young people.

Although the Heran Department is better, it is not much better.

A battle of 20,000 people is already a ceiling-level battle for the current Xianbei tribes.

In the face of the arrogant and domineering Helan Department, the Xianbei King Tent naturally couldn't swallow his anger, and the two sides fought a few battles on the grassland, because of the numerical inferiority, the Xianbei King Tent suffered a lot of losses.

At this moment, Jimen Pass is still watching, and not a single soldier has left the city.

In the Great General's Mansion in Jizhou City, Yu Wenhu, who was full of anxiety, stood in front of Ye Mao, his already dark face turned even darker, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Guogong, our department has been fighting with the Helan Department for three or four days, and there are thousands of dead and wounded, so we can't conspire with the Helan Department to harm you anymore?" ”

His face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth: "If your army does not send troops again, my king's tent will raise the flag and surrender!" ”

Ye Guogong, who had a calm and breezy face, said with a smile: "If your envoy has this attitude, then there is no need to talk about anything, you simply surrender to the Heran Department, so that you don't have to fight anymore, and the general doesn't have to risk sending troops, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”

Yu Wenhu was already angry in his heart, but he still held back his anger, and his voice trembled angrily.

"What does Ye Guogong want?"

"I told you a long time ago, all of you Xianbei tribes are one family, and even have the same surname, I can't guarantee that you are not uniting to act and deceive me, so I need you to show sincerity."

As he spoke, Ye Mao pointed to a map in front of him, then drew a circle on the map with his hand, and said lightly: "Whether you lure or persecute, drive the people of the Helan Department into this circle, and the northern army of our town will naturally send troops." ”

Yu Wenhu looked down at the map, his face cloudy.

………………

May of the second year of Yankang.

In the hottest season of the year, more than a month has passed since the start of the battle in the north, and because of the high delay in information, the news received by Li Xin is still in a stalemate in the north, and there is no real result.

However, although there was no result in the north, the rebellion on the Guangling side had already had a result, and the Guangling Righteous Army personally led by His Royal Highness the King of Qi revolted for just over a month, and was easily defeated by Li Shuo leading the Shenwuwei.

And in the past month or so, there are occasionally people in the capital who offer auspicious luck, but because Zhou Youyi and other leaders have been greeted by Zhao Jia, so no one has written to persuade them anymore.

During this time, most of Li Xin's attention was focused on the war in the north, in addition to reading the military newspapers sent from the north every day, the dark department under his command also delivered news to Jizhou all the time, so that Ye Mao could keep his ears and eyes clear.

However, how the war in the north will be fought still depends on the improvisation of the Zhenbei Army, and with such a high "delay", it is impossible for Li Xin to provide any advice to Ye Mao, nor can he interfere in any war in northern Xinjiang.

All he can do is to do all the logistics in the capital, and then quietly wait for the results.

However, on this day, Li Shuo, who rushed to Guangling to quell the rebellion, finally returned to the court in triumph, and the Son of Heaven of Yankang should have personally gone to the gate of the city to greet the heroes of the counterinsurgency, but the Son of Heaven was not in good health these days, so he did not come in person.

Li Xin, as the governor of the capital, waited at the southern gate of the capital early in the morning to greet him, and by the time the Shenwuwei army arrived at the southern gate, it was already close to noon.

Li Shuo, who was sitting on a big black horse, immediately turned over and dismounted after seeing Li Xin, came to Li Xin, bowed to Li Xin and said, "I've seen the Grand Dudu." ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted Li Shuo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The general has achieved success, congratulations." ”

Li Shuo bowed his head a little embarrassed and said: "It's just some rabble that don't form a climate, and before Wang Shi arrived in Guangling, most of them have already scattered as birds and beasts, and the last general will not dare to ask for credit." ”

Li Xin smiled: "It's also a credit to you for your hard work." ”

Then he looked behind Li Shuo and asked, "That His Royal Highness the King of Qi was brought back by you?" ”

Li Shuo nodded slightly, and said: "I was escorted back by the last general, because the general said that he wanted to give these Ji family members a little dignity, so he didn't use a prisoner's cart, but brought it back in a horse-drawn carriage." ”

This time out of Beijing to quell the rebellion, Li Shuo only brought a total of 10,000 Shenwu guards and 200 Shenji Battalion soldiers, and there were not too many people.

Under Li Shuo's guidance, Li Xin walked to the first carriage, he first looked at the carriage, then sighed slightly, and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness King Qi rebel?" ”

At this time, His Royal Highness King Ji Huan, who was in high spirits at the beginning, was already forty-five years old, his hair was dyed with frost, and he was shackled all the way to the capital.

He heard Li Xin's voice through the curtain of the carriage, and immediately came to his senses and scolded outside the window.

"You and Lao Qi are both anti-thieves!"

"Lao Qi is dead, and in the end you rebelled against him again, it's ridiculous! I, the Ji royal family, how can we sit back and watch a villain like you occupy the magpie's nest! ”

Li Xin, who was outside the carriage, frowned.

"I originally wanted to catch up with you, but since that's the case, I won't tell you more."

Li Xin turned his head and said indifferently.
