A cool mountain breeze blew, and Tuoba patted the mount under his crotch, subconsciously holding his breath. For him, who is accustomed to the dry and rugged climate of northern Xinjiang, this cool and unfamiliar climate with a hint of humidity feels very pleasant, but it still makes his body feel a little uncomfortable. This discomfort is both physical and psychological.

The blue sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining brightly. Looking forward from this angle of travel, in the distance is the stretching Taihang Mountain Range, and the undulating ridge is like a navy blue dragon lying on the land of this state.

"Uncle, one more day's trip, we will go to the realm of Shangdang County." Tuoba Ying understood a little at this time where the discomfort in his psychology came from: the military general next to him, who was about the same age as him, was also looking at him with a very uncomfortable expression at the moment.

Li Chi never imagined that before Ma Chao made a plan to retreat from Huaixian, he would let him sneak into the Tuoba Department and invite Tuoba Ying to come to help in the battle - it is understandable, Li Chi, who has the same ancestor, is naturally the best candidate this time.

And after Tuoba Ying saw Ma Chao's handwritten letter, he agreed to send troops this time without hesitation. Although, his tribe is still fighting fiercely with Budugen on the Eastern Front. But Tuoba Ying still led his most elite 20,000 Xianbei cavalry to fight with Li Chi. Moreover, on the way, he personally promised that the command of this army would belong to Li Chi.

The reason is very simple, when the two of them were bored on the march, they looked at the family. Li Chi unexpectedly discovered that this leader of the Xianbei tribe, who was four years older than himself, was still his nephew. Of course, in addition to this reason, Li Chi also knew in his heart that Tuoba Ying acted like this for the sake of Ma Chao's face, in order to show his surrender to Ma Chao who would never betray.

For this decision, if Li Chi was Tuobaying, he would do the same. Because Ma Chao is so powerful, so powerful that people can't rise to betray.

Not to mention the pyramid hierarchy pointed out by Ma Chao to Tuoba Ying, which made Tuoba Ying rise to become a major tribe in northern Xinjiang in a short period of time. Speaking of the incident half a year ago when he asked Tuoba Ying to send troops to attack the Budugen tribe, which caused the Budugen and the Black Mountain Army to jointly rescue Gongsun Zhan's plan to go bankrupt, Li Chi thought back at this time, and was still a little frightened.

On the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, there are not only the three Xianbei tribes of Tuoba, Budugen, and Kebineng. In fact, the end of the Han Dynasty was also the time when the situation in Xianbei was the most chaotic. In the land of Mobei, there are many Xianbei tribes, including Rilu, Deduction, Murong, Tuoba, Kuitou, Suli, Mijia, Que Ji and other departments. The root of the step is the first line of the Japanese law, and Kebineng is from the deduction department. When Ma Chao ordered Tuoba Ying to attack Budugen, he asked Tuoba to promote the Ma family's goods to all Xianbei tribes in advance, and when Budugen was angry and counterattacked, he wrote a letter to tell Tuoba Ying to always take a defensive position and retreat again and again.

As a result, Tuoba Ying was not in a hurry, but the other Xianbei tribes who had become accustomed to the convenience brought by the Ma family's commodities began to be dissatisfied with Budugen, and they took the initiative to send troops to attack Budugen, in order to restore the supply of goods from the Tuoba Department to the entire Xianbei clan. As a result, although Budugen was majestic and brave, he couldn't stand the anger of the public. In the end, he was defeated by the combined forces who turned against him, and instead of suffering much loss because of that sneak attack, Tuoba Ying greatly increased his prestige among the Xianbei tribe.

Such a means of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away always makes Tuoba think of it and admire it even more. Coupled with the heart of his ancestor Sihan and the fate of the Xiongnu's betrayal of the Ma family, Tuoba Ying engraved 'never betray the Ma family' in his heart from beginning to end, and passed it on from generation to generation.

It's just that Tuoba Ying's loyalty is commendable, but Li Chi can't take the lead, after glancing at Tuoba Ying, he looked ahead and said, "Xian...... Forget it, you and I still commensurate with the retainers of the Ma family, and the seniority of my uncle and nephew really makes me a little constrained. Without waiting for Tuoba to refuse, Li Chifu spoke again: "General Tuoba General, although you have familiar with the villagers of Yanmen County as guides these days, there is a pass ahead that we can't avoid!" ”

Following the direction of Li Chi's finger, Tuoba Ying saw the Yanmen Pass with a vague outline in front of him. It's just that his face didn't hesitate at all, but chuckled lightly and said, "Uncle, don't worry, it's just a small pass, and my nephew can pass without blood." ”

Li Chi saw that Tuoba Ying was still called an uncle and nephew, although he still felt a little awkward, but he was extremely happy in his heart: after all, the grievances of the ancestors' generation, after hundreds of years, should have passed a long time ago. Blood is thicker than water, Tuoba is trapped in a foreign race, but he still has a Han heart, isn't it good?

Thinking of this, Li Chi was a little curious, he wanted to know how he, a virtuous nephew, passed through Yanmen Pass without blood and suddenly attacked Jinyang - at the same time, Li Chi also felt emotional about Ma Chao's clever move to lead the Tuoba Department to attack Jinyang in the south of the Yellow River.

How bold does that have to be to turn the whole war into a tricky art?

Soon, Tuoba Ying's 20,000 soldiers and horses arrived outside Yanmen Pass, and his 20,000 cavalry did not put up any offensive formation.

"General, there are indeed Zhang Bai's men and horses stationed at this pass in front."

"Zhang Baiqi? Very good. Tuoba Ying urged the horse to rush up: Zhang Baiqi was one of the peasant rebel armies in Bingzhou, and it was especially named because the leader's surname was Zhang and he was cool enough to ride a white horse. He had a close relationship with Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, but at the same time took refuge in the Yuan family. is regarded as a two-headed figure, so Yuan Shao let him guard Yanmen Pass, which also means that the alien race and Zhang Baiqi will kill each other.

"Who's coming?" In the distance, I heard Zhang Baiqi laughing unbridledly. This guy standing at the juncture looked like a big man, tall and strong, like a giant bear, and quite brave.

Tuoba Ying said loudly: "Xianbei Department borrows the way!" ”

Zhang Baiqi arrogantly raised his left hand, laughed and said: "No one can borrow it, especially the Xianbei alien race, and they are not allowed to step into the Han land for half a step!" ”

Li Chi heard this, and suddenly had a good impression of the Zhang Baiqi at the pass. With his words, he can be a member of the Han family. Han land is in front, how can you let the alien race pass by arrogantly?!

However, the task is in his body, and Tuoba Ying's cavalry must also arrive in Jinyang in time. Li Chi not only hoped that Zhang Baiqi would defend the dignity of the Han people, but also did not want to delay the great plan in the lord's heart, so he couldn't help but feel upset for a while.

But Tuoba Ying was not disturbed at all, only to see him riding up, exhaling loudly, and the four-stone iron-tired bow was suddenly full, and there was a trembling sound, and the wolf's tooth arrows stored on the string had shot out like lightning.

"Uh~"

Almost as Tuoba Ying Fang let go, a terrible scream sounded from the mouth of Zhang Baiqi at the pass.

"Good archery!" Li Chi opened his mouth to admire, only to see that a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow had already pierced Zhang Baiqi's left hand, and the strong force stored on the arrow branch carried Zhang Baiqi's body backwards and hit the gauntlet wood heavily. The sharp wolf's tooth arrow pierced Zhang Baiqi's left hand and plunged deep into the gauntlet.

"Northern Xinjiang Tuoba!"

"Northern Xinjiang Tuoba!"

"Northern Xinjiang Tuoba!"

Tuoba showed his might, and the 20,000 troops behind him shouted at the same time, and the momentum was so strong that he was angry!

At the same time, the guards beside Zhang Baiqi above the pass saw that Tuoba Ying was so contemptuous of his own army, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?!" We've got a mountain-destroying crossbow to shoot that barbarian! ”

But at this time, Zhang Baiqi, who was in such pain that he had begun to break out in a cold sweat, suddenly pulled out the sharp arrow in his palm and kicked it hard on the personal soldier just now: "Let go of your mother's shit, open the city gate, and quickly let General Tuoba over!" ”

"General, General? ......." The soldier was stunned by Zhang Baiqi, covered his mouth vomiting blood, and asked bitterly: "Do you really want to open the city gate?!" ”

"Nonsense, you know who he is?! The most terrifying Tuoba department in northern Xinjiang, if you want to be broken through by the 100,000 Xianbei army and take you captive as a slave, Lao Tzu will not stop you. But you don't want Lao Tzu to be buried with you! ”
