The beggar tribe stopped in front of him, and as a last resort, Li Xin could only camp in place and wait for news from the Helan tribe, which was three days.

For three days, there was no news from the Helan Department, and what was worse was that Yu Wenzhao, who came from Jizhou, had already brought 10,000 people and blocked Li Xin's retreat.

Li Xin sat in the tent of the Chinese army, with a slightly crude map outside the gate in front of him, he pointed to the Qigui Department in front of him, and said slowly: "The soldiers who can fight now in the Qigui Department are estimated to be only more than 10,000 people. ”

The battle against the water, that is, there is no way to retreat behind him, and now the retreat is blocked by Yu Wenzhao, which is no different from a big river behind him, at this time, he must risk his life and finally fight.

Yes, because there has been no news from the Helan Ministry for a long time, Li Xin is already ready to break the kettle and fight to the death with the Qigui Department.

There is no way to do this, now Yuwen Zhao is only about three hundred miles away from them, and if they hesitate, they will be surrounded by people, and they can't get out if they want to.

Pressing pointed to the map, and said to Ye Mao: "Order, start to break through tomorrow evening, we are not good at riding and shooting, so we will abandon the bow and crossbow, and use a long knife to fight with the Qigui Department in close combat, and at night we can rush to the front of the Qigui Department as much as possible, so as not to be mass-killed by their bows and arrows." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"In addition, the people in the front row charge each send a heavenly thunder, how to use it, and act when the opportunity arises."

Ye Mao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The last general will arrange this!" ”

After speaking, Ye Mao got up and left the tent, and Li Xin stayed alone in the tent to close his eyes and ponder.

To be honest, no matter what happens to this cavalry, he himself will not be too dangerous, and now he has a lot of dark support nearby, and it may not be possible to protect the retreat of a large number of troops, but it is not difficult to protect Ye Mao and Li Xin back to the pass, and the crux of the matter now is whether the more than 10,000 Gyeonggi forbidden troops that Li Xin brought out of the pass can go back alive.

When he was thinking about things in the tent, a herald walked into the big tent, half-knelt in front of Li Xin, and said: "General, the Xianbei people have sent a letter, and I want to deliver it to the general in person......"

Li Xin opened his mouth and asked, "From which direction did it come from?" ”

"Back to the general, it was sent from the east."

The Qigui Department is in the northwest of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jizhou City is in the northeast, and the letter sent from the east is Yuwenzhao's letter.

Li Xin nodded, stretched out his hand to take the letter, looked at it briefly, and then asked the herald, "Has the messenger left?" ”

"No, I'm still waiting for news from the general in the camp."

Li Xin thought for a while, and then said, "Then you tell him, I agreed." ”

The herald bowed his head, and then withdrew from the tent.

The content of the letter is very simple, Yu Wenzhao wants to see him.

After such a long time, Yu Wenzhao finally found out who was leading this cavalry that was doing things outside the pass, and after knowing that it was Li Xin, Yu Wenzhao almost did not hesitate to write such a letter to Li Xin.

In wartime, the generals of both sides will meet, and there are generally inherent rules, for example, if Yu Wenzhao takes the initiative to meet Li Xin, then the time and place of the meeting will be determined by Li Xin, of course, this place cannot be set within the control of both sides, and the safety of both sides must be ensured as much as possible.

Li Xin took up the pen and replied to Yu Wenzhao with a letter, and the two sides agreed to meet at a place a hundred miles east of Li Xin's camp, and each brought fifty soldiers and horses, which was closer to Li Xin's headquarters and would not be in any danger.

The time was set for noon the next day.

Early the next morning, Li Xin refused Ye Mao's request to go to see Yu Wenzhao instead of him, and instructed Ye Mao to prepare for a breakthrough in the camp, and he himself took fifty cavalry and ran all the way to the east and to the agreed place.

When Li Xin received the letter yesterday, he had already asked people to simply set up a tent here, and then left a dozen people to guard around and beware of any traps laid by the Xianbei people, but Yu Wenzhao was very honest this time, and he didn't even send someone here to see it in advance, so he came to the meeting frankly.

When Li Xin arrived on horseback, the co-leader of the Yuwen tribes was already waiting for Li Xin under the pengzi.

Li Xin dismounted, threw the reins to the guards beside him, walked into the small grass shed, and arched his hand at Yuwen Zhao: "Heavenly King, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The two of them met in the eighth year of Taikang, and they also sat together and made a covenant, at that time Yuwen Zhao was a forty-year-old middle-aged man, Li Xin was still a young man in his twenties, seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, Yuwen Tianwang has been full of white hair, and the Marquis of Jing'an has also reached middle age.

Yu Wenzhao stood up from under the canopy, he did not salute Li Xin, but looked Li Xin up and down, his face was complicated.

It was a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Who is bringing this cavalry to make trouble outside the pass, I have thought about this question many times, and I have thought about many people, I have even thought about whether it is the cultivation of the family's martial arts, the cultivation of the tomb, or even the junior of the family, I have thought about it."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenzhao glanced at Li Xin, and his face was extremely complicated.

"But I never thought it would be you, Li Chang'an, and Li Marquis."

"The day before yesterday, when my men brought the news to my desk, I almost cut him with a knife."

Yu Wenzhao still looked at Li Xin, his face full of confusion.

"How can it be you Li Changan?"

Indeed, Yuwen Zhao's idea is no problem at all, after all, the Great Jin Dynasty is not in the north now, but also in the southwest, and even because the southwest has raised troops, Yuwen Zhao is willing to spend such a big blood and gnaw down the Jimen Pass, but now, the leader of the southwest rebel army has run to the north...... Counterinsurgency is coming?

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was calm, walked into the tent, and smiled at Yu Wenzhao: "There's nothing I can't figure out, the King of Heaven and I are not of the same race, I want to rebel, and I have to fight outside first, and then I can't be inside?" ”

Yu Wenzhao nodded, reluctantly accepted Li Xin's statement, and he continued: "But there is one thing I still can't figure out, even if you, Li Chang'an, are the saints of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but how can you, the Son of Heaven of the Southern Jin Dynasty, let you, a thief from the southwest, lead troops in the Northern Xinjiang?" ”

Speaking of this, Yu Wenzhao looked at Li Xin, and his tone was still very complicated.

"Is it possible, you Han people, everyone has become a saint?"

Li Xin sat down in this grass canopy and laughed at himself.

"Where is there any saint in this world, if there is really a saint in the Great Jin, why did I become a thief in the southwest from the Taifu of the Great Jin?"
