Chapter 659: Grab Food

Tuoba Yan sat in the snow, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand, and wiped his scimitar one by one. Behind him www.biquge.info more than a thousand cavalry gathered.

Carefully wiped the dirt on the knife, raised the scimitar in front of his eyes and aimed at it, Tuoba Yan nodded with satisfaction, clicked, returned the knife into the sheath, stood up, walked to the war horse beside him, took out a handful of beans from the cloth bag on the side, fed them to the horse's mouth, watched the horse eat the beans, he touched the long mane of the war horse with satisfaction. Watching the horse finish eating, he took a piece of jerky from another bag, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously. The cow was very hard and chewed a little sour, but he still had to chew hard and swallow it.

Looking at the more than 1,000 cavalry under his command, the smile on the corner of Tuoba Yan's mouth became stronger.

After sending Wu Jing, the prince of Qianyue, to Cao Hui, he returned to the four northern counties with Qin Li, Murong Jing had already fled first, although he did not die, he was also seriously injured, and he didn't want to get out of bed within half a year. With Qin Li and Murong Jing as the introducers of Tuoba Yan, he didn't have to make much effort, he won Murong Hong's trust and was accepted by Yan Guo.

Whether to follow Murong Jing to Yan Lingwei or go to the army to lead the troops, it is a difficult choice for Tuoba Yan, the Eagle Nest has no instructions on this aspect, the Condor plan After successfully sending Tuoba Yan, there is only a general framework for the rest of the matter, and there is no detailed task assignment for Tuoba Yan, just let him get Murong Hong's letter as much as possible, and it is difficult to break into the high-level of Yan Country step by step.

Going to Yan Lingwei, with Murong Jing's appreciation and promotion, he will definitely be able to climb up faster, but there is also a great risk, because in Yan Lingwei, his peers are concentrated, and any carelessness may expose himself. After thinking about it again and again, Tuoba Yan said that he would go to the army to lead the troops to fight.

So Tuoba Yan went to the command of Murong Hong, the general of the left army of Yan State, because in the rescue of Wu Jing, Tuoba Yan performed quite outstandingly, and under the full pursuit of the Ming Eagle Nest, he safely brought Wu Jing out, showing extremely strong and warm personal ability, and more importantly, in the other Yan Lingwei followed Wu Jing to Qi State, away from the war-torn land of the four counties of the Northland, and Tuoba Yan resolutely came back, which made Murong Hong appreciate, so Tuoba Yan came to the left army, He served as a cavalry general commanding a thousand people.

Yan has lived in the mountains for many years, there are not many cavalry, and they are also short of horses, so every cavalry is the elite of the Yan army.

However, it only took Tuoba Yan a month to completely gain a firm foothold in this thousand-strong cavalry army.

The first step, of course, is fists. Since ancient times, in the army, people with harder fists have spoken louder, and Tuoba Yan's fists have been very hard, and soon after he took office, he beat those who dared to provoke to the point of being colorless.

The second step is to be ruthless. For the face-to-face challenger, Tuoba Yan responded to the battle brazenly, never flinched, just won the battle, and never pursued. But for the backhand stabbing knife, the one who secretly stumbled was merciless, and the most ruthless one was to tie up the adjutant general who incited the soldiers in the army to make trouble in the ice and snow, first whipped with a leather whip and covered in blood, and then threw it in the snow and froze half to death, and finally his life was picked up, but the person was also wasted.

Third, the background is hard enough. The soldiers soon discovered that the new general was no ordinary man, for Tuoba Yan always had access to things that other troops couldn't, weapons, armor, horses, and food, and it seemed that as soon as their general came out, these things would always appear in the camp the next day. Their thousand-man team is the best in the entire Left Army, and it can almost be compared to the personal guard battalion of Murong Kang, the general of the US Left Army.

With a three-pronged approach, Tuoba Yan quickly established a reputation among this thousand-strong cavalry that no one could shake.

This general is not only ruthless, but also daring. They came out this time, nominally to patrol the border, but in fact, Tuoba Yan received the news that they wanted to temporarily serve as robbers.

The four counties of the north rebelled, and wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming Dynasty to disrupt the Ming Dynasty and then profit from the chaos The plan was hit head-on, and after several military horses were defeated, they had to withdraw to the four counties of the northland. Da Ming didn't seem to have the strength to beat the water dogs, and he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he surrounded the four counties of the Northland.

The four counties in the north were originally important military towns, and they were close to the mountains, so they were not grain producing areas, and more grain was imported from other places. Especially in the Yan Kingdom, in addition to the army, hundreds of thousands of ordinary barbarians also walked out of the depths of the mountains and moved into the three counties of Pingyuan, Ningyuan, and Zhenyuan.

Engaging in grain has become another important task of the Yan army.

Attacking the Ming garrison and looting the food of the Ming people became the only way. One by one, the Yan army troops felt through the gaps between the Ming army's blockade lines, some of them successfully brought back food, and some of them stayed on that side forever.

The Ming army also seems to have a great interest in this game of cat and mouse, and the two sides have fought again and again, winning and losing each other. Tuoba Yan also led the team to attack once and returned with a big victory. He even directly attacked a fortress of the Ming army, in which hundreds of Ming troops were annihilated, and Tuoba Yan got dozens of stones of grain from there at one time.

But since that time, Tuoba Yan has lost interest in such a battle, because in that battle, he did win, but he himself also died dozens of people. He moved his gaze to the other side, Fuyuan County.

Jiang Haokun's timely withdrawal allowed him to keep his old nest Fuyuan, if he was entangled with the Ming people for a while, Fuyuan would also fall into the hands of Murong Hong, and his timely withdrawal made Murong Hong not swallow Fuyuan in one go, and the two sides were still allies above Mingyi. Compared with Yan Guo, Jiang Haokun's life is better, he still has food reserves, and Fuyuan County refuses barbarians to enter, which makes the population of Fuyuan County not skyrocket, and more importantly, Jiang Haokun can still get food from outside.

A black trading line continuously smuggled grain from the Ming Kingdom to Fuyuan County, and the selling price was several times that of the local sales in the Ming Kingdom.

Under the huge profits, the bold businessmen, regardless of the blockade and strict investigation of the Ming army, crossed the sea with eight immortals, each showed their magical powers, and sold grain to Fuyuan County through various means.

This time, Tuoba Yan received a top-secret news that another smuggling grain team had passed the border line of the Ming army and was heading towards Fuyuan.

Tuoba Yan took his 1,000 cavalry and quietly infiltrated the territory of Fuyuan, quietly waiting for the grain team to be sent to the door. Strictly speaking, Tuoba Yan violated the agreement between Yan and Jiang Haokun, which was an act of sabotaging the alliance, but Tuoba Yan didn't care at all, he didn't care, and those soldiers didn't care anymore.

"General, here, here!" On the top of the hillside, a sentry turned his head and waved his hand excitedly at Tuoba Yan at the bottom of the slope, Tuoba Yan ran up and did two steps to the top of the slope, and in the distance, more than a dozen or two carriages were lining up in a long way, trudging forward with difficulty in the snow.

"it!" Tuoba Yan suddenly scolded.

"General, what's wrong? More than a dozen taels of carriages, at least 20,000 catties of grain, this time we will send it! Murong Hai, the deputy general beside him, said excitedly. He was promoted by the former deputy general Tuoba Yan after he was disabled, and he was also one of the people who was almost beaten by Tuoba Yan and couldn't take care of himself, and now he is dead set on Tuoba Yan.

Tuoba Yan is actually scolding the Ming people. How did such a huge grain transport team pass through the border line of the Ming army, he could think of it with his ass, it must be that the generals of the Ming army on a certain section of the defense line blocking the four counties of the north were bought, so that they could appear here with a swagger, otherwise they would be blind, and it would be impossible for such a convoy to pass through the blockade line.

"It's true!" He said with a gloomy face. Looking back at the bottom of the slope, more than 1,000 cavalrymen had all turned over and mounted their horses, and as long as he gave the order, he could rush out and grab this batch of grain.

"General, someone answers!" Murong Hai shouted lightly, and in the direction of Fuyuan, a cavalry of about two hundred people was galloping over, and the target was the grain transport team in the distance, and the grain transport team seemed to see them and was waving the flag vigorously.

Tuoba Yan snorted, turned around and went down to the bottom of the slope, turned over and dismounted.

"Attack!" He said coldly.

"General, there are people from Fuyuan, there will be a conflict." Murong Hai reminded.

"Are you scared?" Tuoba Yan squinted at him.

Murong Hai was blushing at this glance, "The last general is not afraid." As soon as the reins of the horse were mentioned, the first one rushed out, Tuoba Yan laughed, and shook the reins, "Sons, go on!" ”

Thousands of cavalry came out of the back of the slope and swooped down on the grain caravan.

The cavalry that suddenly appeared obviously frightened the cavalry in the distance, and they stopped, and the grain transport team, when they saw the banner of Yan Guo, was a little panicked, some wanted to turn around and flee, and some wanted to run to the Fuyuan cavalry in the distance, and it was a mess.

If you want to run, you naturally can't run away, their car is pulled by oxen, how can they outrun the war horse.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand cavalry sent this grain transport team to the surrounding iron buckets.

The drivers of the carriage were squatting on the side of the car with their heads in their hands, trembling all over, but the guy who looked like the shopkeeper of the grain on a horse was still very calm, jumped off the horse, and led the horse to the side.

The sound of hooves rumbled in the distance, and the two hundred Fuyuan cavalry finally reacted and hurried over. The two armies were dozens of paces apart and faced each other.

After a while, a Fuyuan general rode out slowly and said loudly: "The brother of the Yan army on the other side is the leader, please come out and speak, my name is Gao Jie, and I am under the command of Jiang Junshou." Did we have some misunderstanding? ”
