Xianbei people are nomadic people, basically every household will herd horses and sheep, they go to the battlefield to fight, and generally ride horses that they have raised since childhood, such horses do not need to be trained, and can be used directly as war horses.

The horse farm is a place to raise horses on a large scale and train war horses, because every household raises horses, originally Xianbei people do not need to raise horses in the horse farm, but after the destruction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Xianbei people who escaped from Jimen Pass in embarrassment lack a large number of horses, and in the first ten or twenty years, they can only set up horse farms in places where water and grass are fertile, so as to make the number of horses rise as soon as possible.

Now more than 40 years have passed, the number of horses of the Xianbei people is enough, but the horse farm set up a few decades ago has not been revoked, the four departments of Yuwen each have a horse farm, the scale of the horse farm of the Qigui Department is relatively small, only thousands of horses, the royal tent of the Yuwen Zhao headquarters, there are four or five horse farms, a total of 780,000 horses.

Li Xin took advantage of the emptiness of the strength of the Qigui Department, and scattered the team of the Qigui Department with only one face, but the Qigui Department is not a particularly small tribe, he still has **10,000 clansmen in the group, Li Xin just scattered their warriors, if the war continues, in front of these Xianbei people who have bows and crossbows, 3,000 people are not enough.

Therefore, after Li Xin took advantage of it, he immediately ordered a retreat.

Hundreds of heavenly thunder thrown down, at least thousands of people were injured in the begging department, this is not the Guannei, there are spirits disinfection in the Guan, there are doctors to heal, outside the Guan, no matter what the wound is, you have to rely on your own body to resist, even if you are scratched by the pottery fragments of the Tianlei, you may lose your life because of tetanus.

Moreover, Li Xin ordered to set fire to all sides, at this time it was already autumn and winter, and the fire would spread quickly, so that the casualties of the Qigui Department would probably reach 2,000 people, or even more.

What's more important is that the young Zhuang of the Qigui Department has been transferred away by Yuwen Zhao, and the tribal warriors who came out to fight Li Xin today are the last capable people in the Qigui Department, except for these people, the rest of the people are basically old and young.

The last remaining combat strength of the Qigui Department was greatly damaged, and they would definitely think of calling back the 10,000 young men who were transferred by Yuwen Zhao......

Three thousand cavalry said a lot less, but not too much, the retreat was still very flexible, only half an hour after Li Xin gave the order, these cavalry were fully withdrawn from the Qigui Division, led by a middle-aged man dressed in fresh clothes, and rushed towards the horse farm of the Qigui Division.

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and the moonlight was spreading, faintly illuminating the road ahead.

Ye Mao rode behind Li Xin and sighed: "Senior uncle, we finally touched the vicinity of the Qigui Department easily, and we only fought for more than half an hour, and my hands didn't get warm, so I withdrew, it's really not cost-effective." ”

Grandpa Ye glanced at Li Xin, and then continued: "The defense line of the beggar department has been ...... The thunder exploded directly, and we will wait to kill it, not to mention beating the Qigui tribe to extermination, at least let them die one or two hundred thousand! ”

Li Xin sat on the horse, glanced back at Ye Mao, and said lightly: "It's only been half an hour, and we have lost three or four hundred lives in the Qigui Department, almost all of these Xianbei people are good at shooting, and if we continue to fight, it won't be long before we will become hedgehogs there." ”

Ye Mao scratched his head and continued to ask, "Then what are we going to do at the racecourse?" ”

"Go get some food, and grab the horses from the racecourse."

Speaking of this, Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled: "A beggar department, the weight is not enough, and then the Helan department, if we can deal with the Helan department again, the Yuwen Ministries will definitely have contradictions, and Yuwen Zhao will also withdraw from Jimen Pass in advance." ”

Yuwen Ministry combined, there are only one million people, Yuwen Zhao has gathered nearly 200,000 troops near Jizhou this time, according to a household of five, that is to say, each family has already sent a person to fight, this scale of conscription is absolutely impossible in the Guannei.

It is quite difficult to be able to levy one in ten, or even one in twenty.

The reason why the Yuwen Ministry was able to achieve this scale was because everyone really had no food to eat, so they had to go to Dajin to rob it, and secondly, Yuwen Zhao's own royal account had more than half of the troops, which could call on the remaining three departments to contribute.

But...... And that's where it stops.

Sooner or later, they will obediently exit the Thistle Gate Pass and return to the Gate.

There is no way, the strong combat power may be able to allow one side to win in one war and two wars, but this kind of war that has risen to the level of a national war will not be fought in the end, but in terms of population, national strength and financial strength.

These determine how far and how long the war can be fought.

With the current ability of the Yuwen Tribes, after they take the Jimen Pass, even if the Great Jin Dynasty does not make any resistance, they will just grab more food and people in the northern Xinjiang, and when they have grabbed enough, they will naturally retreat outside the pass to digest this wealth, and it is unlikely to threaten the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Jin.

It is also for this reason that the capital is not particularly interested in the situation in the northern Xinjiang, because whether it is the Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace or Zai Fu in Shangshutai, they all understand in their hearts that no matter how fierce the trouble in the north is, it is nothing more than the death of some ordinary people in the north, which cannot threaten the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Jin Dynasty.

And the anti-army in the southwest that can fight against the forbidden army is a real threat!

The chaos in the north can be slowly cleaned up when you free up your hands in the future, but the situation in the southwest cannot be delayed for a day!

Of course, if the imperial court does not curb it, the Yuwen Ministry will grow rapidly after this incident, and if it can enter the customs frequently, ten or even decades later, the Yuwen Zhou who once stepped on the Central Plains is likely to reappear again.

Ye Mao followed behind Li Xin and frowned.

He opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Shi, the Heran Department is the largest tribe except for the Yuwen Zhao King Tent, not to mention three thousand people, even if more than 10,000 of us go together, it is unlikely to pose any threat to the Heran Tribe......"

The Helan tribe is a large tribe with a population of nearly 300,000, although more than 30,000 are transferred by Yuwen Zhao, but it is estimated that there are still tens of thousands of combat power in the tribe, and it is almost impossible for Li Xin to deal with the Helan tribe like Yu Wenzhao did.

Li Xin rubbed his temples, and then said slowly: "Yuwen Zhao has made great efforts to defeat the Jimen Pass, and his royal tent has at least 100,000 people, and now the royal tent is extremely weak. ”

The Marquis of Jing'an said lightly while riding a horse: "Yuwen Zhao is a good member of the Northern Zhou royal family, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been destroying the country for more than 40 years, and few people will recognize him as a royal family. ”

"If you grasp this thought, it will be easy to find a breakthrough, at most, let the court make a king to the Helan Ministry."

The two men talked as they walked.

Under the bright moonlight, you can already faintly see the horse farm of the beggar department.

By the bright moonlight, Li Xin looked in front of him, then turned back to Ye Mao and said, "According to the information I received, there are about seven or eight hundred guards in this horse farm, all of whom are young and strong from the Qigui Department, can you take it down before dawn?" ”

The belligerent Ye Mao's eyes lit up and he patted his chest fiercely.

"Within an hour, my subordinates will definitely take this horse farm!"
