Tuoba Feng and Ri Ri deduced that they ran into Yan Liyou on the way to retreat.

After listening to the narrative of Riri's deduction, Yan Liyou grabbed his bare brain and asked, "Are you sure the king escaped?" ”

"What if you're not sure?" Ritsu said with a wry smile, "We have suffered successive defeats and our morale is low, and this battle can no longer be fought, so we can only retreat." ”

"Retreat to the steppe?" Yan Liyou said unwillingly, "This is the largest battle we have fought south since the death of King Tanshihuai, I thought it was ......."

"Hey......" Ri Ri patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "If the king is still alive, or ......" He glanced at Tuoba Feng and said in an accentuated tone, "It's Marshal Murong Feng who commands the army, how can we have such a fiasco." ”

Tuoba Feng jumped twice in his heart for no reason, he snorted coldly, looked at the lush mountains, and said nothing.

Yan Liyou understood and immediately mocked: "Some people don't have a lot of ability, they don't have a lot of hearts, and they have a little reputation on the prairie, so they think that they can dominate the grassland and conquer the world, but in fact, they are all bullshit, and even one of Murong Feng's attendants can't beat them, and they talk about fighting the world and jokes." ”

Tuoba Feng's face turned cold, and a sneer came out of his nose again.

"Helian, this idiot, doesn't count losing himself, but also harms us." Ri deduced the horsewhip hatefully, and said angrily: "Wolf head, let's cross the Yellow River, go back, don't be a crutch for others anymore." ”

"What about the king?" Yan Liyou asked, "We must wait until the king has accurate news before going back, right?" ”

"That's Touba-sama's business, and it has nothing to do with us anymore." Ri Ri looked at Tuoba Feng and said, "My men and horses are all gone, I have more than enough strength now, and staying here will cause trouble for Lord Tuoba, why don't you go home?" ”

Tuoba Feng glanced at him expressionlessly, nodded, and said, "Go home?" I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? ”

"The leopard fought two battles in a day, and he was tired and tired, and he still had the strength to chase?" Ritsuri said with a glare, "If he dares to chase him, I will kill him." ”

Tuoba Feng suddenly received a message sent by Xu Huang.

"What did that cunning coward say? Are you going to slip away? Yan Liyou said disdainfully, "The Qiang people's faces have made this kid lose their faces." ”

"Although the Huns were defeated by us, there are still Tu people to support their faces, and the Qiang people ......," Ri Ri sneered, "Qiang people? This time we were defeated by the Qiang people, and I must avenge this revenge. This kid is unwilling to cross Liupan Mountain, there must be a ghost in his heart. ”

"What are you talking about?" Tuoba Feng broke the wooden stump in half and threw it into the bushes on the side of the road, "The king has a whereabouts." ”

The Ri deduction and the banquet were happy at first, and then they looked at each other solemnly.

"The king has arrived at Fanting Mountain?" Yan Liyou said in surprise, "He lost the battle, and he didn't meet with us, so he was in such a hurry to go back?" The king of my Xianbei country is so virtuous? ”

"He'd rather believe the Qiang than us, it's so disappointing." Ritsuri sighed, "Forget it, let's go back." He is finished, even if he returns to Danhan Mountain, he is finished, and the king of Xianbei Country is no longer Helian. ”

Tuoba Feng looked at the figures of the Ri Ri deduction and the banquet liyou gradually moving away, and a smile appeared on his face.

Tuoba walked up behind Tuoba Feng and whispered, "Will the old cow and the wolf's head get in the way?" ”

"No, it won't." Tuoba Feng smiled, "He is suspicious of nature, no one trusts him, he has gone too far." ”

Tuoba Feng looked back at Tuoba Feng and said, "Actually, I've always been wary of him asking for help from the wolf head. After all, Helian is the king of Xianbei and the son of Tanshihuai, if he and Lao Niu protect Helian back to the Sweat Mountain, it will be really difficult for me, but ......" He shook his head and did not continue.

"The person who delivered the letter to Danhan Mountain should have already passed Fanting Mountain and grabbed the front of Helian." Tuoba Hui said, "Now he is in Xu Gui's army, but he will not act alone in the Yellow River, do we let Xu Huang ......?"

Tuoba Feng shook his hand, "This kind of thing can't be said, once it leaks out, how will we gain a foothold on the grassland in the future?" It's still the old way, let the leopard solve it. ”

"But it's too dangerous, we've already lost 10,000 people, and we've lost even the lives of Bu Chuihong." Tuoba dissuaded, "My lord, it's better to be safe." ”

"What is 10,000?" Tuoba Feng said disdainfully, "Back then, in order to kill Helian, Murong Feng led an army of 30,000 to run to Niu Yuan against him, but he was attacked by Ke Zhi and the whole army was annihilated. What am I compared to? If we can kill Helian, the Xianbei country will fall into disintegration, and my Tuoba tribe can take the opportunity to rise in the prairie. ”

Tuoba Feng looked up at the sky and said loudly: "I want to see, on the prairie, is it me Tuoba Feng who is powerful or he Murong Feng is powerful?" ”

＝＝＝

Ri deduced that he looked at Mang Zhengji, who was in a hurry away, worried.

"Lao Niu, don't worry so much, last time we sent someone to send a message to Lord Luoluoluo, he should take into account the situation in Danhan Mountain and bring people to the royal court. He is the old man of Helian, and he is the sworn brother of Tanshi Huai, he will not watch Danhan Mountain fall into chaos. Yan Liyou comforted, "Even if Helian dies, the royal court of Danhan Mountain will not disappear from the grassland." ”

Ritsuri smiled bitterly and said with a depressed expression: "Helian, this Helian is too chilling. Think about it, Lord Luoluo is his father-in-law, I am his brother-in-law, he is your brother-in-law, he doesn't believe us, he actually believes in a Qiang person. ”

"Isn't that Tuoba Feng also his wife's uncle? With his kind of personality, it's normal not to believe in us. Yan Liyou said with a smile, "He Lian has always held a grudge against us because of the fact that we teamed up with Dashuai to force him to give up some of his royal power the year before last, so it is impossible for him to believe us?" ”

Ritsuri was silent.

"Wolf head, if the young Qianman becomes the king of the Xianbei country, the Xianbei country will immediately fall apart, who will serve a child? Who will look at Tuoba Feng's face? Once the Xianbei country exists in name only, there will be a war immediately, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that the king of Tanshi Huai and us have worked so hard to build will disappear in a blink of an eye. Lu Ri sighed, "In the Xianbei country, the Tuoba tribe is the most powerful now, and Tuoba Feng will definitely take advantage of the chaos to rise up and conquer everywhere, and you and I will bear the brunt of the attack." ”

Yan Liyou's smile gradually narrowed, and there was a hint of murder on his face, "There is still a handsome man in Xianbei Country, and it is not his turn to show off his might." ”

"yes." Ri Ri sighed, "I'm afraid that the handsome man is already old, and he no longer has the courage he had back then." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Li Hong connected the wooden slabs that had been broken into two pieces, looked at them twice, and suddenly became murderous.

"Helian has run to Fanting Mountain." He suddenly turned around and shouted: "Order the army, speed up the march, and immediately rush to Fanting Mountain." ”

＝＝＝

When Tuoba Feng and the others arrived at Fanting Mountain, He Lian and Xu Hui had already led the army to retreat to Gaoping City.

Tuoba Feng didn't say a word, and immediately ordered to abandon Fanting Mountain, and hurried to Gaoping City to rendezvous and company.

Xu Hui originally wanted to rest in Gaoping City, but he couldn't withstand Helian's persuasion, so he led people to continue to retreat to Sanguan overnight.

＝＝＝

When he arrived at Fanting Mountain, he didn't even see the shadow of a Xianbei person, and Li Hong hesitated a little. If he continues to pursue, he will be alone in the depths, and once he is eaten by the Xianbei people, the loss will be great.

He discussed with Xu Rong, Lu Yi and others for a long time, and finally decided that he would lead about 7,000 people from Black Panther Yicong and Xian Lingqiang of Storm and Sand. Armed with sufficient rations and weapons, they marched north overnight and continued their pursuit.

Xu Rong and Ko Yi took the rest of the cavalry and walked a hundred miles away from him, and then followed. At the same time, Xian Yufu was notified to quickly lead the army across Liupan Mountain and come to rendezvous as soon as possible.

＝＝＝

Li Hong's documents urging for food and salary were delivered to Luoyang.

"General Li Hong's army has gone north to pursue the enemy, and the speed is very fast, and it is estimated that it has reached the area of Sanguan." Huang Fu Song pointed to the huge map in the study room and introduced to the Son of Heaven, "He Lian led the remnants of the defeated army to flee along the Qingshui River, and in a few days will reach the areas of Fuping, Shanghe, and Ding Xicheng in Beidi County. ”

"How many roads are there from Lingzhou?" The Son of Heaven asked.

"About sixty miles." Lu Zhi replied, "The Xianbei people can cross the river from Lingzhou to Liancheng quickly, and then go through Lingwu Valley to Helan Mountain. Xianbei people can escape from the border of our Han Dynasty when they cross Helan Mountain. ”

"What about Dong Zhuo? Has Dong Zhuo already taken Lingzhou City? The Son of Heaven said happily, "If Dong Zhuo occupies Lingzhou City before the Xianbei people, we can surround the Xianbei people and chase after them." ”

"We haven't heard from General Dong Zhuo for more than half a month." Huangfu Song frowned and said, "Since we don't know where he is, His Majesty urged him to capture Lingzhou as soon as possible, and the messenger has not been delivered. Although the mountains are high and the road is far away, it is inconvenient to deliver letters, but there has been no news for more than half a month, which is really incomprehensible. ”

"He's not going to get lost, is he?" The Son of Heaven smiled, "Anyway, the Xianbei people have already been defeated and fled, and it doesn't matter if they can't be wiped out." ”

"How can it not matter?" Huangfu Song said dissatisfiedly, "Dong Zhuo has fought for decades in Xiliang and Bingzhou, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Western Xinjiang, especially the area around the Great Wall Fortress, where he has been stationed for a few years, and he has also blocked the invading army of Tanshi Huai on the fortress, how could he get lost?" The minister saw that he did this on purpose, in order to preserve his strength. ”

"Even if you get lost, you shouldn't lose contact with the imperial court?" Lu Zhi also said angrily, "If the Xianbei people successfully cross the river from Lingzhou, Dong Zhuo will be guilty of delaying the military plane and should be severely punished." ”

"Dong Zhuo occupies Lingzhou and cuts off the retreat of the Xianbei people, we can not only wipe out the Xianbei people, but also kill the Xianbei king and Lian." Huangfu Song said angrily, "As soon as Helian dies, Xianbei will be in chaos, and the Xianbei tribes will definitely have a vicious fight in order to compete for the royal power of Danhan Mountain." As soon as the Xianbei Kingdom is in chaos and its strength is greatly reduced, they will not be able to invade the south, so that the border counties of our Great Han Kingdom can get at least a few years of rest and recuperation, and we can also take the opportunity to recover the Wuyuan and Yunzhong counties occupied by them. Such a good opportunity, but it was lost because Dong Zhuo couldn't occupy Lingzhou City in time, shouldn't he be severely punished? ”

"If you win the battle, forget it." The Son of Heaven waved his hand disapprenousfully and said, "Maybe he's really lost." What's more, the two Aiqing don't know anything thousands of miles away, they just sit here and guess, they can't be true, let's wait for the news. ”

"You draw up another holy decree to urge Li Hong to rush to Bingzhou as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the war in the western frontier is not over yet." Lu Zhi said, "General Li is chasing the enemy in the north, and he comes to write every day, urging him to ask for food and reinforcements, and is preparing to lead the army to Helan Mountain. ”

"The Xianbei people have been defeated, and when they chase them to Helan Mountain, they don't kill a few more people, so it's not interesting." The Son of Heaven said, "Dong Zhuo will arrive in Lingzhou City sooner or later, so let him cross the Yellow River and fight to Helan Mountain." ”

"What about the rations and reinforcements?" Huangfu Song asked, "If Your Majesty wants General Li to rush to Bingzhou immediately, we can send grain, grass and baggage directly to the Great Wall Fortress, which is the only way for General Li to go to Taiyuan County." ”

"According to Aiqing's opinion, however, you told him that there are no reinforcements." The Son of Heaven smiled, "Doesn't he like to recruit captives as soldiers?" In the battle of Boluogu, he had 20,000 prisoners, which was not enough for him? ”

Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi were taken aback.

"Your Majesty, is that a Xianbei person? If you play against the Xianbei people in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable. Huangfu Song said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible. ”

"General Li fought very fiercely in the battle of Boluo Valley, and half of the 100,000 people were lost." Lu Zhi said, "With 50,000 people fighting against the Yellow Turban Ant Thief Zhang Yan's army of hundreds of thousands, it is indeed a little less, Your Majesty ......."

"What's wrong with the Xianbei people? They have been captured, and they are the spoils of our Great Han Kingdom, and it is already a great gift that I will not kill them. Let's do it, I don't have reinforcements, I want to build an army of my own. The Son of Heaven said, "When Li Hong was in Jizhou, there were only 10,000 cavalry, and then he also defeated Zhang Niujiao?" Why can't it be now? ”

"Your Majesty......" Huangfu Song also wanted to explain, but the Son of Heaven immediately raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Aiqing, don't say it. I have recently sold a lot of Guannei Hou and made a lot of money, so in my opinion, I will give more military salaries and more weapons. In the future, they will have to guard the border gates, and the weapons are too bad. ”

Dong Zhuo led the army to the vicinity of Lingzhou City.

The scouts who had rushed to Lingzhou City in advance gave him an astonishing news: the Xianbei army had been defeated by Li Hong in Boluo Valley and had suffered heavy losses, and was now retreating rapidly, and the front army had reached Fuping City.

Dong Zhuo sat on the horse and didn't speak for a long time. He knew that Li Hong was powerful, but he didn't expect Li Hong to be so powerful that he would defeat the 120,000 army of the Xianbei people. He was excited, but also a little lost. In any case, everyone is happy to be able to defeat the powerful Xianbei people and become a great Han person.

The loss is because this battle was not won by him, if there are 100,000 horses, he thinks that he can also defeat the Xianbei people. Dong Zhuo sighed secretly.

"My lord, let's capture Lingzhou City immediately." Li Ru said excitedly, "At the same time, we sent cavalry to quickly rush to Ding Xicheng and attack it overnight. We're late, we're late. ”

"This leopard, sure enough!" Dong Zhuo praised loudly, "Changsheng, my divination is not wrong, right?" I said we'd win. ”

Li Ru shook his head, lazy to entangle with Dong Zhuo in this matter, he kept urging the troops.

"Originally, we planned to rest for a few days after we got here, but we didn't expect the development of the battle situation to be so amazing." Dong Zhuo showed a relaxed smile and said unhurriedly, "Changsheng, you have already won the battle, so don't worry." ”

"My lord, we must rush to Shanghe before the Xianbei people." Li Ru said anxiously, "Have you forgotten that Xianbei people can also cross the river from Shanghe." ”

"It's too late." Dong Zhuo said in a hurry, "It's late." ”

"My lord......" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and stopped talking.

"Do you want to say that I'm jealous of Li Hong? Do you want to say that I don't want to block the Xianbei people in the Yellow River and add military merits to Li Hong? Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed, "Yes, I'm jealous of Li Hong, I'm jealous of him, I've fought all my life, and I haven't had a single battle of military merits that can beat him, how can I not be jealous?" Dong Zhuo shook his head again and again and sighed, "I'm old, so I got a general, and I bought it with money, but what about him?" I'm afraid that Your Majesty has already decreed that he will be promoted to general, and maybe he will be made a marquis, how can I not be jealous? ”

"I also cut it out with a knife, why am I not as good as him?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and smiled helplessly, "Am I inferior to him?" ”

Li Ru sighed.

Dong Zhuo suddenly looked back and roared wildly: "Order, bypass Lingzhou City and cross the Yellow River." ”

＝＝＝

On the river.

He Lian looked at the turbid Yellow River and let out a long breath.

"Your Majesty, you want to cross the river from here?" Xu Hui asked strangely, "From here, crossing the river and passing through the Wolf Howling Valley to Liancheng will take many detours. Why didn't the king cross the river from Lingzhou City to the north? It is only a hundred and ten miles from Lingzhou City to Liancheng. ”

He Lian smiled and asked, "You went back to Dongqiang directly from Lingzhou City?" ”

"Now that Lingzhou City is in my hands, of course I have to take a shortcut." Xu Hui replied, "If the king wants to cross the river north from here, then I won't send it, and the king will take care all the way." ”

＝＝＝

Gaudince. The place where the Qingshui River and the Yellow River meet.

The Ritsuri deduction and the banquet Liyou bid farewell to Tuoba Feng.

"We're going back the way we came." Ritsuri deduced and said, "When I meet the king, please tell the lord on my behalf, if there is a sending, I will not give up." ”

＝＝＝

After Tuoba Feng saw them leave, he said to Tuoba Hui with a smile: "The king crossed the river from Shanghe, the old cow and the wolf head crossed the river from Gaoting, and Xu Hui went from Lingzhou to Dongqiang, what about us?" ”

"We crossed the river from Lingzhou." Tuoba smiled, "I want to see where the leopard is chasing." ”

"Haha......" Tuoba Feng laughed, "he must be at a loss, standing here and looking around blankly." ”
