The siege battle finally began.

On the battlefield of the north gate, the shouting of killing was earth-shattering, the sound of bull horns soared into the sky, long arrows whistled in the sky, swords flashed on the city walls, and the cavalry phalanx galloped back and forth under the city, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun. From a distance, thick smoke billowed from the walls of Macheng, and people were jumping and fierce battles were raging.

On the battlefield of the South Gate, two cavalry teams were engaged in a fierce battle. The horns and horns representing various signals come and go, and the colorful battle flags flutter in the wind, moving back and forth. The neighing of war horses, the galloping sound of thunder from far and near, the fanatical shouts of soldiers, and the clashing of all kinds of weapons filled the entire battlefield.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, with both sides recovering their troops and returning to their camps.

Immediately, the scouts of the Tuoba people searched for and killed any scout they encountered within a radius of ten miles like madmen, and they showed no mercy, as if they wanted to cut off all contact between the Han and the outside world, and swore to slaughter the city to the death.

Macheng County ordered Liu Tao to rush to Gaoliucheng and report the military situation to Liu Hui, the Taishou of Daijun. Liu Hui was very angry when he learned about it, and scolded Li Hong for being incompetent and refused to send troops and food. Bing Cao Peng Shi Xian Yu Yin came to ask for help for several days, but Liu Hui refused.

When the captain of the Karasuma school, Mitsuru, heard the news, he was greatly excited, and immediately rushed to Quang Ninh City to attack the troops of the Karasuma people. Now on the right side of Tito, Tuoba Feng's troops suddenly sent troops to attack Macheng again, and the Black Feather King on the left would not support him at all. With no protection on his left and right flanks, he had to bear the fierce attack from the Han army alone.

In mid-June, King Xianbei and his company left Danhan Mountain to inspect the various departments in the western Xianbei in accordance with the usual practice. The first stop is the Qiuyi tribe. The Qiuyi tribe suddenly rebelled, and the tribal cavalry besieged the company's personal guards and iron cavalry, and the two sides fought. Helian's troops gradually couldn't resist, and just when they were facing the critical moment of collapse, Tuoba Tao's cavalry suddenly appeared, and 5,000 troops entered the battlefield and successfully rescued Helian. Tuoba Tao immediately led his troops to escort and company, and quickly approached the territory of the Tuoba tribe.

In Youyunyuan, Tuoba Tao's troops were intercepted by the armies of the Wild Wolf Tribe and the Fengxi Tribe, and Tuoba Tao led his troops to forcibly break through several times but were repulsed. Soon the cavalry of the Qiuyi tribe caught up. The armies of the three tribes then surrounded them. Just as they were about to launch a strong attack, they were attacked by Tuoba Feng's 10,000-strong army at night. The 8,000-strong army of the Horde Coalition was almost completely annihilated.

Almost at the same time, the Red Sun Tribe's Settlement of Luoluo, the Wild Wolf Tribe's Banquet Liyou, and the Wild Sand Tribe's Rilu Deduction led their own tribal armies, united more than 2,000 large and small tribes in the western Xianbei, gathered an army of 30,000 people, and suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the Tuoba tribe.

The heroic commander of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Hui, led his troops to fight back, and fought and retreated.

Haoshuai Tuoba urgently summoned more than 1,000 tribes of all sizes, gathered 10,000 people in the tiger and wolf grassland, set up a decisive battle formation, and swore to fight to the death.

After the end of the Battle of You Yunyuan, He Lian and Tuoba Feng did not stop, and led their troops to rush to the Tiger Wolf Grassland to participate in the decisive battle.

The civil war in Xianbei in the west broke out in full swing.

At this time, the battle in Macheng was in full swing, and the battle between the two warring sides was stalemate, and the battle was extremely fierce.

At this time, Murong Feng, who had been hiding behind the scenes, finally couldn't hold back and walked to the front desk. He suspected that Tuoba Feng still had backup on his hands, and his information must be inaccurate. If the two sides continue to fight, it will not benefit anyone, and it will be a huge loss to the Xianbei country. This is not the result that Murong Feng wants, let alone the purpose of this rebellion.

He stood up decisively and intervened.

After Murong Feng's multi-party negotiation and persuasion, He Lian finally compromised in front of Murong Feng and the powerful forces that had fallen into Luoluo, and he agreed to a compromise plan that Murong Feng came up with to resolve the matter peacefully.

Divide the western Xianbei into two. Two-thirds of the northern part of the territory is still the western Xianbei department, and the southern one-third of the territory is demarcated, and a northern Xianbei department is formed. The Xianbei Lord in the west is the Luoluo Lord, and the Xianbei Lord in the north is Tuoba Feng. From now on, the position of Lord of each ministry can be inherited. If there are no special circumstances, Dan Hanshan no longer has the right to appoint candidates.

Under Murong Feng's careful planning, the power of the royal court of Danhan Mountain was dealt a devastating blow. The Xianbei country did not have any real state situation in the first place, it was a loose tribal alliance. King Xianbei was only a nominal ruler. If the tribes listen to him, he is a great king. If he doesn't listen to him, he's just an ordinary tribal leader.

At the time of Tanshi Huai's existence, the tribal alliance of Xianbei Country was the most solid and unified, and the power of the king was very large. After the death of Tanshi Huai, although Helian was not able to operate effectively, he could barely maintain it. Now that Murong Feng has changed like this, it is impossible for the Hanshan Royal Court to barely maintain the status quo.

Murong Feng and Luo Luo Luo are both overlords, with huge power and heavy troops. Now they have openly united to persecute and divide the Xianbei tribes, and their trampling on the royal power has reached the extreme. What is especially important is that the position of Lord Xianbei of each ministry can be inherited, which is equivalent to telling Danhanshan that the internal affairs of the four departments of Xianbei are no longer the final say of the royal court of Danhanshan, and this place is the four of us. In the four departments of Xianbei, if you are an adult, the power in your hands, the territory you control, and the number of troops are far greater than that of the royal court of Danhan Mountain. Now that Murong Feng and Luo Luoluo, the alliance formed temporarily by the Eastern Xianbei Lord Micah, the power is so great that no one can control it. In this case, if He Lian wants to continue to do this king comfortably, the best way is to compromise, relying on Tuoba Feng, who only supports him, to compromise conditionally. Everyone fell out, fought a war, at most Xianbei fell apart, there was no loss for several large tribal alliances, for Helian, for Danhanshan, it was the end of destruction.

He Lian now finally knows how powerful Murong Feng is.

Murong Feng is in Xianbei, except for Tanshi Huai, no one can deal with him.

After the negotiations in the Tiger Wolf Grassland began, the battle in Macheng stopped, but the Tuoba people had no intention of withdrawing their troops, and still surrounded Macheng like an iron bucket.

Li Hong lay on the grass, smelling the fragrance of the grass, feeling the smell of the earth, and his heart was peaceful.

"My lord, there is a man named Tuoba Raccoon who wants to see you."

Li Hong suddenly laughed. Tuoba Raccoon was able to return to Macheng safely, proving that Xianbei's internal strife was over. For the Han Kingdom, the people of the northern border counties are estimated to have a few years of peace.

He turned over and sat up, looked at the cavalry who were practicing the formation on the grass, and shouted excitedly: "Look, look, their formation has turned. ”

Tie Yue didn't raise his eyelids, and said disdainfully: "After practicing for more than 20 days, I can't turn around again, so I can go back to be an infantryman." ”

Li Hong shook his head, stood up, and said with a smile: "You grew up on horseback since you were a child, of course you don't know the difficulty of changing them from infantry to cavalry. Fortunately, after more than 20 days of hard training, there are finally some results. ”

Tuoba raccoon dog has a scruffy beard and looks like a dusty servant.

"Hello sir. Have you been working hard lately? Tuoba Raccoon greeted him and asked with a grin.

Li Hong dismounted and replied with a smile: "I lead the troops to train every day, I am really tired of swords and guns, do you say that I am tired?" Your troops have also trained hard at the North City Gate, fighting from morning to afternoon every day, and it is estimated that the soldiers will cry, right? ”

Tuoba laughed, "We have a harvest. The next time I attack Ma Cheng, it is estimated that I can take it in one day. ”

"Don't blow it." Li Hong couldn't help but laugh, reached out and punched him gently, "One day? You dream. ”

The two men walked side by side on the grass like old friends, chatting and laughing.

"In this way, the biggest winner of this Xianbei civil strife is the adults of the Xianbei Fourth Division." After listening to Tuoba Raccoon's introduction, Li Hong said casually.

"I think only Murong Feng is the winner. Although Murong Feng intended to deal with the Tuoba tribe and King Helian together, it was a pity that he overestimated himself and was a chess shorter, and he did not expect that Tuoba Tao's troops had been quietly ambushing near the Qiuyi tribe. If Helian does not die, he will have no excuse for another king, nor will he have a reason to destroy us. ”

"You mean that if Helian dies, he will blame Tuoba Feng?"

"The Qiuyi tribe was originally attached to us, but this time we told Murong Feng to take refuge in him. Helian was killed by the Qiuyi tribe, and all the tribes could attack the Tuoba tribe in the name of avenging the king and Lian. So after we got the news, in order to keep it secret, we didn't even disclose it, and directly pulled the team to the Qiuyi tribe. Speaking of which, our strange army is the first hero to keep the Helian and Tuoba tribes this time. ”

"Then you must have been elevated?" Li Hong asked happily.

"I'm now the youngest handsome of the Tuoba tribe." Tuoba said excitedly.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations, my lords. He is more beautiful than in the past, and the power can be inherited forever, in fact, he is now the king of Xianbei in the north. ”

Tuoba Raccoon nodded.

"It is estimated that Murong Feng wanted to break his head, and he would not have thought that we would form an alliance and deal with him together."

Li Hong shook his head again and again with a smile, "You must not think so, never." Helian is an example. He thought that his scheming was the most powerful in Xianbei, and he was handsome in every possible way. Now you see, He Lian was almost killed by Murong Feng. ”

Li Hong stopped and solemnly said to Tuoba Raccoon: "We are friends, so I give you a piece of advice." In Xianbei, it is best to be Murong Feng's friend, and never be his enemy. If you become his enemy, you will die quickly. ”

Tuoba Raccoon smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

When the marshal saw Tuobatao, he would immediately guess a rough idea. It is a joke to say that you escaped from the fire and deceived ordinary people, but to deceive him. What's more, tens of thousands of troops were involved in this matter, and it couldn't be concealed for long. ”

"You are the direct executor of the matter, will you be implicated in anything?" Tuoba asked worriedly.

"No, it won't. Although there are many doubts about this matter, both sides are enemies, and no conclusive evidence can be found. I can justify myself. Of course, I burned you to the ground, and I still have to bear the sin of dereliction of duty. Li Hong laughed.

Tuoba Raccoon knew that he was powerful, and this little thing would definitely be able to be handled, so he stopped paying attention to it.

"Your Excellency has sent me here to convey the order to retreat, and secondly, to let me thank you on his behalf, and the hatred we had between us in the past has been erased."

Li Hong shook his head with emotion. How can hatred be written off? I'm afraid that it will get deeper and deeper in the future.

"If you have any other requests, I can help you relay them."

"Yes." Li Hong hurriedly said, "I need food, I need supplies, and I need to pay the soldiers." I've put all of your people back, but what about what Tuoba Feng gave us? You can't take advantage of all of it. ”

Tuoba Raccoon laughed, "It's all arranged." According to the quantity that had been negotiated, I brought with me fine furs, silk cloth, and some gold and silver valuables, and I sent for the night. As for cattle and sheep and other livestock, the target is too big, and it will no longer be provided last time. Don't you have anything to eat? ”

Li Hong nodded, and said helplessly: "Then I'll send someone to your camp tomorrow to grab some." ”

"Come in the afternoon. Tomorrow we are withdrawing. In addition, I will say goodbye to you, and we will meet again when we have the opportunity in the future. ”

Li Hong nodded and said with a smile: "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will invite you to drink." ”

Looking at the back of Tuoba raccoon dog gradually disappearing, Li Hong felt a little lost in his heart.

"This kid is in good luck. I wasn't killed by you in Sangqianhe, and now it's time to run and be a hero. Tie Yue snorted unconvinced and whispered.

"My lord, what are you still looking at?" Tie Yue saw Li Hong standing in place, not moving for a long time, so he hurriedly came up and asked in a whisper.

"I'm wondering, will I ever have a chance to ask him for a drink?" Li Hong said.

Tie Yue laughed and said casually: "Estimated difficult? These Xianbei people talk about the Han River every day, always thinking about occupying a few places. There is a fight, is there wine? I guess I didn't have a chance to drink it. ”

Li Hong shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Go and find Zheng Junhou, saying that I have something to find him." ”

The army of the Xianbei people withdrew. The racecourse was then restored to its former tranquility.

Li Hong sent people to Gaoliucheng, the county governor of Dai County, to report the victory, and at the same time asked Macheng County to order Liutao to bring people back quickly. Because his troops will soon return to Zhuolu.

The barracks of the troops have been stationed outside the southern gates, ready to be opened at any time. Li Hong sat alone in the tent and thought about it for a long time, and then walked into the camp of Qinweitun.

Two tun chiefs hurriedly took him into the tent. These two tun commanders turned out to be centurions of the cavalry unit of the wild wolf tribe, although they were not very old, but the Hu people were soldiers on horseback, and they had been in the army for many years, and their qualifications were very old.

Tall and burly, with a long face and a short beard, the fierce-looking man is called Arc Ding. Tall and strong, with a pair of big eyes full of spirituality on his handsome face, the young man who spoke little was called Abandonment Shen.

Li Hong motioned for the two to sit down, chatted casually, and briefly told the two of them what happened in Xianbei.

"It is estimated that there have been fewer conflicts on the border in recent years, and there is little chance of war. So I thought about it for a long time, and I thought it would be better to let you go. You are not familiar with the people in the Great Han Kingdom, and once I have an accident or die, it will be difficult to say what happened to you. ”

Arc Ding and Qi Shen looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"Do you mean you want us to go back to Xianbei?" Arc Ding asked.

Li Hong nodded, "Yes." If you are all like me, alone and without care, and die the same wherever you die, of course it doesn't matter. But if you have a mother and relatives at home, you are always worried about it, and it is a pain to stay here. There is no more fighting on the border, so go back. ”

Arc Ding and Qi Shen were greatly moved, and knelt on the ground together, kowtowing to Li Hong to thank him.

Li Hong hurriedly helped them up and said with a smile: "I used to be a slave and knew everything. If you want to go back, go back. If you don't want to go back, stay with me, and everyone will be like brothers, sharing hardships and blessings. There were also wounded soldiers, and those who wanted to go back were taken with them. ”

The next day, Arc Ding and Qi Shen sent more than 100 people away. Tian Zhong arranged for the guard to provide them with horses and food, and let them leave.

Li Hong saw that most of the people stayed, his heart was hot, and his eyes were a little moist. Those who stayed were all slaves in the tribe, and to put it bluntly, they were all the same as Li Hong, alone and alone. They were all soldiers who were captured during the war between the tribes, and their families died in the war. Who doesn't go back to home? There's no home.

In the evening, Li Hong stayed in Qinweitun and had dinner with the Xianbei soldiers. Everyone is blowing nonsense together.

"Do you know what impressed me the most after I returned to the Great Han Kingdom?"

Nobody knows. Everyone looked at him and listened to him continue.

"It's Luronse's meal. The first time I ate two big bowls in one go, two big bowls. I've never eaten anything so delicious. ”

Tian Zhong looked at Li Hong's exaggerated expression and idiot look, he couldn't help it, he laughed loudly, and the food in his mouth sprayed all over the ground.

Tie Yue also felt that Li Hong was too exaggerated, and immediately followed Tian Zhong and laughed.

Xianbei people are strange. Although they hadn't eaten it, when they saw Li Hong's appearance, they believed it must be delicious. But why did the other two adults laugh so hard?

Li Hong looked at Tian Zhong and shook his head in confusion.

At this time, Zheng Xin hurriedly ran in.

"My lord, someone from the Maiha tribe is asking to see you."

Li Hong's heart suddenly sank.

There must be something wrong with the Maiha tribe, otherwise the ink ci who only has one side of the fate will never send someone to find him.
