In the direction of the old man's finger, a group of knights was slowly circling from behind the dirt slope. Wei Xiong could see clearly that the leader who was smiling and waving to him was his uncle, Wei Cao, the leader of the Jin people.

Wei Xiong led his subordinates to fight many fierce battles with the Xianbei Puliuru Division, and the troops directly under him suffered great losses, and in the past few days, even the routine scout sentries were not sent very much, anyway, they only had to retreat in the depths of the complex terrain to defend the camp, and the Xianbei people came to fight. He really didn't expect that Wei Cao, who had sneaked out to ask for help at great risk a while ago, had returned!

Could it be that the Xianbei people have retreated? Great joy suddenly filled Wei Xiong's chest, he couldn't wait to open the gate of the camp, pressed the edge of the wall with one hand, and his strong body as a bear suddenly jumped over, laughing and facing forward.

Wei Xiong was discouraged since childhood, and moved to the grassland with his uncle Wei Cao when he was six years old. The two have been in the same boat for decades, and they don't know how many hardships and hardships they have endured together, and they have a deep affection for each other, which is really better than father and son. These days, on the one hand, Wei Xiong led the army to defend the source and fought Hu Er to the death, but on the other hand, he often worried about the safety of Wei Cao, who went south to ask for help.

At the same time, although the displaced people who were struggling in the camp did not know what the situation was in the outside world, everyone became very happy just to see Wei Cao's figure. There was jubilation throughout the camp, and everywhere people shouted, "The prince is back!" Deyuan Gong is back! ”

Although Wei Cao was born as a martial artist, under the command of the Xianbei Tuoba clan, he used his literary resources, on the one hand, on behalf of the imperial court and the chiefs of the various ministries to break the administration, and on the other hand, he also drafted various systems and regulations for the Tuoba Department. With these two powers, he worked hard in the northern Xinjiang grassland for decades before he gathered this small Jin force from the wolf-like Xianbei tribe; In this area alone, almost every household has received his favor, and many people have relied on his efforts to save their lives. His prestige among the displaced people does not come from force, let alone from the reuse of the two generations of Da Danyu, but relies on the gratitude and dependence of many displaced people from the bottom of their hearts.

When the homeless people in the camp were still celebrating with each other, Wei Xiong strode forward and grabbed Wei Cao's arms: "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

"Good! I am fine! Wei Cao looked up and down at Wei Xiong, who was covered in iron armor and blood, and he didn't need to ask, he knew what a terrible battle this leading warrior in the Wei clan had experienced. He patted Wei Xiong's shoulder: "Shiyuan, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Shiyuan is Wei Xiong's word. These two words were raised for Wei Xiong when the king of Chengdu was engaged in Zhonglang Tiansi to envoy the grassland. It's just that it's really rare to use in normal times.

Wei Cao got off the horse and pulled Wei Xiong to a young man who had fallen slightly: "Shiyuan, this is General Yingyang of the Great Jin Dynasty, Daijun Taishou Lu Yao Lu Daoming, you have seen it." Envoy, this is my nephew Wei Xiong Wei Shiyuan. Shiyuan is quite brave, and in the past, he accompanied the Tuoba and the West to more than 30 countries, and made many meritorious achievements. Our generation can gain a foothold in the source thanks to the power of the world. ”

Wei Xiong was not in a hurry to salute Lu Yao. He looked hesitantly at the young man who was smiling and bowing to him, and then at the guards behind him with fierce expressions, a little wary. After a while, he simply frowned and said, "Uncle, what are the things on the grassland, what are the officials of the Jin family to do?" The imperial court is of no use! ”

Wei Cao joined the Tuoba Department as a semi-official, and for decades, the clan members never cut off contact with the imperial court. But in recent years, the imperial court has become increasingly unbearable, so that the Xianbei people are arrogant and difficult to control; The people who flowed into the grassland also brought mediocre deeds of the Jin family. Wei Xiong was in a foreign land, and there was only a surging image of the end of the world as far as he could see, and he couldn't help but feel that his respect for the Great Jin Dynasty was gradually fading. In fact, no one in the Jin Dynasty had any expectations for the Great Jin Imperial Court, and Wei Cao sneaked out of Weiyuan, and the original target of the request for help was not the Daijun Army, which was not enough for outsiders.

Wei Xiong is a pure martial artist, and he grew up in Northern Xinjiang, his words are not tactful at all, and he blurts out what he thinks in his heart. But it would be too rude to speak like that.

After Lu Yao led the army to defeat the Youzhou army, within one day, more than 20 chiefs of large and small tribes came to take refuge on their knees, and the situation on the grassland on the dam was finally settled. Lu Yao left these chiefs in the barracks, receiving them with good food and drink, and making many promises, but he was not busy discussing specific matters with them. At the same time, the subordinates of these chiefs were recruited as guides, and the elite cavalry detachments led by Shen Jin, Liu Yao and other generals searched and advanced in the east and west directions, requiring them to recruit and recruit brave men from the tribes along the way, and effectively control every corner and corner of the grassland on the dam in the shortest possible time.

As the backing of these cavalry teams, it is the main army commanded by Xue Tong. This army was badly damaged after the battle with the danbu, so they looked for a place to rest directly near the battlefield, and reorganized their horses, ready to go out as a backup.

After arranging the troops from all walks of life, Lu Yao personally rushed to Weiyuan with Wei Cao, and only He Yun and a few others accompanied him. Or persuaded Lu Yao to lead more subordinates just in case, Lu Yao only quipped: "Under Hu Er's eyes, the Duke of Deyuan can still shelter the people of the Jin Dynasty in the source of the water; Now that the dam is clear and Xianbei is restrained, are you worried that Deyuan Gong will not be able to shelter a few of us and others? ”

These words not only reflect the respect for Wei Cao, but also reflect the absolute trust in him; When the words reached Wei Cao's ears, Rao couldn't help but be deeply moved by his rich experience. On the way to Weiyuan, he became more and more respectful to Lu Yao, and vaguely treated him with the courtesy of his subordinates to his superiors.

But no one expected that the first person he saw when he arrived at Weiyuan in the dust, the leader of the displaced people who was attached to the Hu people, would dare to speak disrespectfully to the high-ranking officials of the Great Jin Dynasty and the general who actually controlled the grassland on the dam! Wei Cao suddenly looked embarrassed, and the guards under Lu Yao who were standing on the other side were even more furious.

He Yun is young and vigorous, and he has always been very respectful to Lu Yao. Hearing Wei Xiong's words, if it weren't for the scene, he would almost immediately draw his knife and cut it. He took a step forward and was about to shout angrily, but Lu Yao reached out and put it on his shoulder.

Lu Yao stopped He Yun and said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, what is there on the grassland that the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty can't use?" ”

Strictly speaking, since the Youzhou Assassin Shi Wei Qian entered the court as a Shangshu order during the Xianning period, the Great Jin Dynasty has gradually lost control over the various ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang, otherwise the operation of the Wei clan in northern Xinjiang would not be as difficult as this. What's more, at this moment, the Jin people are struggling to guard the source, and they are almost exhausted. Wei Xiong responded: "Now that Tuoba Xianbei is in civil strife, the original subordinate tribes are fighting each other, eager to expand their power, the grassland on the dam is full of smoke, and the Jin people are struggling to survive, how can Your Excellency help them?" The Xianbei and Puliuru tribes were the most ferocious, leading the troops to attack the source for more than one day, and we fought to the death for several days, and it was difficult to win. I don't know how you can solve this situation? ”

He paused and continued: "I heard again that the Na Luo Department is connected to the Eastern Xianbei Duan Department and the Yuwen Department, and tens of thousands of troops are coming to the source at any time; The Duan Department and the Yuwen Department are all powerful in Northern Xinjiang, and the army is like Mount Tai pressing eggs. Our forces are weak, and it is expected that it will be difficult to resist, so we can only fight to the death...... What will you do? ”

"Uh......" Lu Yao was stunned, turned around to look at Wei Cao, and then looked at the guards around him.

He Yun couldn't help but laugh.
