Tuobali raised his head slightly and looked in front of the tent, and when he saw who the person who was speaking, the sarcastic expression on his face was put away, and he immediately became a little more solemn.

"Mr. Zhongda, do you want Ben Khan to save the Huns?" Tuoba asked slightly.

The person who spoke was Sima Yi.

When he was in Jiuquan County that day, he went to ask for help from the Xianbei people under the pretext of Liu Bei, and successfully broke away from Liu Bei's Hanguo group, crossed the grassland, and came thousands of miles to Tuoba Liwei.

Sima Yi, as one of the Nine Wonders and an important minister of the Han State, Liu Bei's former right-hand man, is naturally famous all over the world, and even the Xianbei people outside the Saiwai know his name.

Tuoba Liwei, as a Xianbei Khan, has admired Sima Yi for a long time, and wishes to have such a scheming person to assist him, so he is very happy about Sima Yi's coming.

So, when Sima Yi came to defect, Tuoba Liwei treated him very politely, treated him as a guest, and asked Sima Yi for advice on world affairs day and night.

Today, the Huns came to ask for help, and Sima Yi suddenly put forward different opinions, and it was naturally impossible for Tuoba Liwei not to pay attention to it.

Sima Yi coughed lightly and said slowly: "The Huns used to be indeed a threat to my Xianbei, but it was a great chaos in the world, and none of the Central Plains princes could pose a threat to the grassland. ”

As soon as the words changed, Sima Yi continued: "But now that the Han State has been destroyed, the Su thieves dominate the world, and no one can threaten the Wei State, then the Su thieves will be able to concentrate the power of the world and go north to deal with us, the threat of the Wei State to us has already far exceeded that of the Huns. ”

Tuoba Li was slightly silent, holding his beard in his hand, pondering and savoring the deep meaning of Sima Yi's words.

"Moreover, the five counties occupied by the Huns and the north have always been important towns in the border states of the Han Dynasty.

"If these five counties fall into the hands of the Su thief, his army can follow the example of the second general Wei Huo and set out from the five counties to conquer our Xianbei, which should not be what the khan wants to see."

Speaking of this, Tuobali couldn't help but shudder.

At that time, the Xiongnu were so strong, but they were greatly injured by the Han Dynasty and plummeted.

Now although he unified the Xianbei tribes, but the strength of the Huns in the Dingsheng period is still far from the strength, if Su Zhe really took the five northern counties as the base of advance, waving his army out of the fortress, I am afraid that he may really repeat the mistakes of the Huns.

"Zhong Da is reasonable, and the five northern counties can't fall into the hands of the Su thieves, even if it is not to save the Huns, Ben Khan must send troops!"

Tuoba Li slammed his fist into the case, his tone was resolute and solemn, and he finally reversed his mind and made up his mind.

At this time, Sima Yi's tone softened a little, and said with a smile: "Of course the Khan is not going to save the Huns, what the Khan wants to do is to take advantage of the time when the Su thieves and Yu Fuluo are fighting, and the fisherman will profit and grab the five northern counties." ”

"At that time, with the five northern counties in hand, the khan waited for a sharp sword and inserted it into the hinterland of Wei, and the northern part of Wei would be in no danger to defend, and the khan's iron cavalry would be able to drive south, go straight to the hinterland of the two rivers, and get involved in the world, just around the corner!"

Tuobali's eyes gathered, and he jumped up suddenly, full of pride, and said proudly: "Zhong Da's words are reasonable, he Su Zhe can be the lord of the Central Plains, why can't Ben Khan, pass on the order of Ben Khan, Keri will do his best to raise the iron cavalry army, and follow Ben Khan directly to the clouds!" ”

When the order was handed down, in the big tent, the blood was immediately boiling, whether it was the Xianbei people or the exiles in the Central Plains, they were all very excited.

Xianbei people want to step on the Central Plains, burn, kill and loot, and now they have the opportunity to enter the fortress, and they are naturally excited like beasts.

Those exiles in the Central Plains, either Yuan Shao's old ministry or Cao Cao's old ministry back then, all had a grudge against Su Zhe, and what they never forgot was to kill them back to the Central Plains one day and find Su Zhe for revenge.

Now Tuoba Liwei is going to enter the fortress in a big way, it is the result that they have been waiting for for many years, returning to the Central Plains, the opportunity for revenge is in front of them, how can they not be ecstatic.

Sima Yi looked in the direction of the south, with a cold smile burning in his eyes, and secretly thought in his heart: "Su Zhe, I said a long time ago, the grievances between you and me are not over yet, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer!" ”

……

Shuofang County, Kubuqi Desert.

The Yellow River meanders westward, and the yellow sand on both sides of the river rolls with no end in sight.

On both sides of the Yellow River, countless slender men, countless mules and horses, are shouting trumpets and dragging the ropes forward with difficulty.

At the end of the rope, there are rafts towed, which are full of grain, grass and military supplies.

Dozens of steps offshore, thousands of Wei army foot riders, one foot deep and one foot shallow, stepped on the yellow sand, and marched along the south bank of the Yellow River to the hinterland of Shuofang County.

The imperial flags with the word "Wei" flew proudly in the flying sand, leading the Wei soldiers to move forward silently despite fatigue.

Su Zhe sat on the red rabbit, his eyes were always staring ahead, but he was thinking in his mind, after killing Shuofang, how to destroy the Huns as quickly as possible.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the scout behind him galloped over, shouting: "Your Majesty, the two generals of Cloud City have an urgent report to arrive. ”

"Read it." Su Zhe raised his horsewhip.

"The two generals Zhang said in the urgent report that the Xiongnu Khan Tuoba Li Wei is leading 150,000 Xianbei iron cavalry south, and Keri will kill Yunzhong City!"

Su Zhe's expression was slightly shocked, and he restrained the war horse.

The generals of the Wei army on the left and right were also unmoved, and they stopped one after another.

"Your Majesty, this must be the imminent destruction of the Huns, Tuobali is slightly afraid of the cold of his lips and teeth, so he came to save Na Yufuluo." Ma Chao said categorically.

"What General Meng Qi said is extremely true." Deng Ai also echoed: "Yunzhong is where the waist eye of the five northern counties is located, once it is conquered by the Xianbei people, we will be cut off from the way back, and the consequences are unimaginable, not to be underestimated." ”

"150,000 iron horsemen, I didn't expect the Xianbei people to be so strong, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Cloud City, I don't know if I can hold it." Ma Yunlu muttered to himself, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

For a while, all the generals were shocked by this news, and many people had wavered in their will, and proposed to give up the destruction of the Xiongnu first, return to Yunzhong City, and resist the invasion of the Xianbei people before making plans.

Of course, there are also people who advocate that the battle to destroy the Xiongnu should not fall short, and half of the soldiers and horses should be allocated back to defend Yunzhong City, and the remaining half of the soldiers and horses should continue to advance westward.

In the end, the discussion gradually fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked at Su Zhe, at such a critical moment, only he, the son of heaven, could make the decision.
