A lieutenant officer hurriedly walked into the big tent, saluted the two, looked at Guo Xiancheng and said, "General, General Bao Chun of Julai County has just sent an urgent report, and they have intercepted a barbarian cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What did you say?" Guo Xiancheng looked at the other party with some incredulity, "Bao Chun intercepted a barbarian cavalry?" ”

The barbarians have been wiped out, where did this cavalry come from?

"Yes, this cavalry had some clashes with our army in Julai County and was surrounded by our army, but the leader of this barbarian cavalry said that he came to find Lord Cao." The lieutenant officer turned his head to look at Cao Hui.

"Looking for me?" Cao Hui was stunned, "What is the name of this barbarian cavalry?" ”

"He said his name was Tuoba Yan." The lieutenant officer said, "He asked to meet Lord Cao, but he refused to lay down his arms, and confronted General Bao in Julai County, General Bao was also difficult to distinguish between friend and foe for a while, and now the situation is more complicated, he didn't dare to make his own opinion, so he sent someone Pegasus back to report the news, and asked for instructions on what to do?" ”

"I do know this Tuoba Yan, when he planned to get Wu Jing out of Yuejing City, this person was one of the escorts, in the case that Murong Jing had to leave the army in order to lure away Yinggu, this person with a group of rabble, he was able to send Wu Jing all the way to Shayang County, and finally handed it over to me, this person is a ruthless character." Cao Hui looked at Guo Xiancheng and explained.

Guo Xiancheng frowned: "Zhengyang County is under the control of the Ming army, how did this person escape from Zhengyang County with a team of cavalry?" Are there any articles here? ”

"It's hard to say." Cao Hui was also a little puzzled, "But this person is a barbarian, and he is deeply valued by Murong Jing, Qin Li also mentioned this Tuoba Yan in the report, speaking of which, I thought he was a talent and recruited him, but at that time he rejected me without thinking about it, but his remaining companions all followed Wu Jing to Chang'an." ”

Guo Xiancheng suddenly laughed: "If this person can really jump out of the encirclement of the Ming army with a cavalry under such circumstances, he is really a rare talent, Lord Cao, if this person passes your review, don't fight with me, such a person, the army needs him more." ”

Cao Hui laughed: "As long as he has no problem, he is willing to come to you at that time, why should I stop him?" Make the best use of your talents! But this man's refusal to lay down his arms is a nuisance. ”

"It looks like I'm the only one who makes a trip to Julai County." Cao Hui stood up, "I'm really curious how he escaped?" And with a cavalry? What else did Bao Chunlai say? ”

"General Bao said that it was very suspicious, they didn't look like an army fleeing for their lives, they were all red and looked like they were doing well." The lieutenant officer said.

Guo Xiancheng and Cao Hui glanced at each other, both surprised and funny, this situation dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the two of them a little.

"I'm going to Julai County, General Guo, I'm just afraid that you will have to prepare to retreat and retreat to Dengxian. How this war will end will have to be consulted by His Majesty, but we must always prepare in advance. Cao Hui said.

"Lord Cao, are you sure Your Majesty will not insist on fighting?"

"General Guo, do you think you can still fight? With the strength in your hands, when the main force of the Ming army comes, it will be difficult to get a good deal, but if you transfer the army over, do you think the Chu people will still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Cao Hui shook his head.

Guo Xiancheng nodded.

In Julai County, Tuoba Yan and his 800 cavalry stayed on a small hill, half of the soldiers straddled the horses, the other half was resting with their horses, and under the small hill, thousands of foot soldiers surrounded them, and the Qi army was waiting for them. Although it seems that the number is very different, in view of the cavalry's strong mobile combat ability, Qi general Bao Chun did not dare to take it lightly.

This cavalry came strangely, first clashed with their own scout team, and a dozen of their own scouts became prisoners, but fortunately, the other party did not harm them, but released them back.

The other party wanted to see Cao Hui, but he was unwilling to put down his weapon, which made Bao Chun difficult, a cavalry with unknown friends and enemies stayed on his side, could he still sleep well? It's not to do it, it's not to do it, it's so embarrassing that you can only trap them here while sending someone to report to the camp. He knew that Cao Hui happened to be in the camp and learned the news, and there should be a response soon.

But what surprised him was that Cao Hui actually came in person.

"Master Cao, it's too dangerous for you to go to see them alone." Bao Chun objected to Cao Hui taking risks alone.

"What's the danger here?" Cao Hui smiled: "I do know this person." And the other party came all the way to see me, I have to admit it. ”

"That's why I can't figure out how they managed to escape!" Bao Chun shook his head and said.

"Just ask, General Bao, if it were you, you don't think you would be able to escape, right?" Cao Hui asked.

Bao Chun nodded, "The end will not be able to do it." ”

Cao Hui laughed and patted the other party's shoulder, "You are a sincere person." With laughter, he stepped out of the formation, seemingly slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he was already on the top of the hill.

"General Tuoba, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you surprised me again this time?" He spread his hands and laughed as he walked over to the cavalrymen who were glaring at him with hostility.

One person separated from everyone, strode out, and when he arrived in front of Cao Hui, he knelt down on one knee, "Lord Cao, Tuoba Yan is now ruined and desperate, so I can only come to my lord, I hope what my lord said two years ago is still counted." ”

"Of course you count!" Cao Hui smiled and helped Tuoba Yan up, "I, Cao someone, and our Daqi, have always been eager to seek talents, and we welcome people like General Tuoba." ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person suddenly became relaxed, "Lord Cao, these are my brothers, okay everyone, Lord Cao is here, he won't fight, put away his weapons, come and meet Lord Cao, do you know what Lord Cao's identity is?" If it is in Dayan, it is a character like Lord Murong Jing. Murong Hai, what are you staring at, be careful that Master Cao picks out your eyeballs. ”

With Tuoba Yan's shout, everyone put away their weapons suddenly, and the people on the horses turned over and dismounted, and saluted Cao Hui with their fists.

"I've seen adults."

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Cao Hui laughed, took Tuoba Yan's hand, and walked to the side for a while, "Tuoba Yan, what about me, I must believe you, but I also don't say secret words, General Bao Chunbao below, and General Guo Xiancheng are suspicious that you can escape from Zhengyang County, and you have fled all the way here, General Bao Chun is also my veteran of Daqi, but he is personally accepted as him, and he will never be able to do this, do you have anything to tell me about these?" ”

Tuoba Yan raised his eyebrows: "So, they suspect me of being a spy?" ”

Cao Hui smiled: "Human nature, look at your group, where is there a look of running for your life, people who don't know still think that you were escorted all the way by the Ming army!" ”

"It's about the same as an escort." Tuoba Yan smiled proudly, "I took them by the nose and turned around most of Zhengyang County, and then fled." I guess the officers who are chasing me now must regret it and want to hang themselves. ”

"Okay, tell me how you escaped, to be honest, I'm curious too." Cao Hui said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it!" Tuoba Yan sat down for a while, picked up a sharp stone on the ground, and sketched a few lines on the ground in three or two strokes, Cao Hui knew at a glance that this was the general terrain of Zhengyang County.

Although Cao Hui has not directly led the army, he is no stranger to the military, where Tuoba Yan is foaming at the mouth, proudly talking about how he is fighting from east to west, how to repair the plank road, and secretly crossing Chen Cang, he just listened with a smile, only occasionally seemed to ask a random question, but every time he asked the point, a few times, Tuoba Yan looked at him with a look of admiration, obviously for this Cao Lord who did not lead soldiers. Speaking of it again, it is no longer so casual, but from time to time I turn my head and think about it.

This is close to an hour, although Cao Hui's face is silent, but in his heart he is extremely surprised, this Tuoba Yan is really a powerful character, for the use of cavalry, obviously quite experienced, and for touching people's hearts has its own set of unique methods.

After listening to this hour, he basically had all his suspicions, this person commanded a cavalry with strong mobility ability, so he set up a suspicious formation, attacked the east and west, and tore apart the encirclement and interception of the Ming army, which can indeed be called a classic strategic shift.

"So, as soon as the breakout battle began, you knew that this breakout would definitely not go too well?" Cao Hui asked.

"Yes." Tuoba Yan nodded, "Actually, the battle has come to this point, everyone knows what we are going to do, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry!" That Zhang Xiao is a veteran, and he has a way to deal with us. So I knew that I was bound to fail, and since the end of failure was doomed, I had to think about the way back, how to survive. ”

"So you took advantage of Murong Jing, Murong Hong, they attracted the attention of the Ming army, and escaped from the battlefield while the chaos was in chaos, so do you know their final ending?"

Tuoba Yan shook his head: "On the way to escape, I also heard all kinds of rumors, but they often contradict themselves, but I think it will definitely not be better." ”

"Murong Jing died, but Murong Hong broke out and fled into the mountains."

"Your Majesty has escaped?" Tuoba Yandi stood up.

"Do you regret it now and want to go back and serve your Emperor again?" Cao Hui asked.

Tuoba Yan hesitated for a moment, sat down again, and shook his head: "Da Yan is finished." I'm afraid this time it's worse than a thousand years ago, and I'm just going back as a lost dog. Lord Cao, to tell you the truth, I went out of the mountain when I was a teenager and have been living outside the mountain, and I am used to the days outside the mountain and do not want to enter the mountain again. Even these brothers, none of them wanted to go back to that hard life. ”

Cao Hui nodded, "Very good, then on behalf of Daqi, I welcome you to join." ”

He held out his hand.

Tuoba Yan didn't shake his hand, but knelt down on one knee on the spot, "Tuoba Yan is willing to recognize Lord Cao as the master, and serve Lord Cao before and after the saddle in the future, and never dare to have two hearts." ”
