Zhao Rui immediately ordered Batoru to take a few people with him to have a look.
On a hilltop, dozens of barbarians wearing animal skins were riding horses and stayed there, chattering without knowing what they were talking about.
Zhao Ruike didn't care about the crowd and led the people directly to the front.
"Which tribe of barbarians are you and what are you doing here?"
The leader of the Hu people narrowed his eyes slightly and approached Zhao Rui with a look of disdain.
"It was you who killed King Hunxie and destroyed the Xiongnu?"
The King Yu Sword in Zhao Rui's hand slowly unsheathed: "Answer my question first!"
The opponent also looked unruly and drew his weapon directly.
Seeing this posture, Batoru rushed forward brandishing a huge iron gun and instantly knocked a dozen people to the ground.
Zhao Rui also flew forward and pulled the leader of the Hu people off their horses.
"Does your leader want to take advantage of the Xiongnu's emptiness to send his troops eastward to occupy the grassland?"
This guy was frightened. He didn't expect Zhao Rui's kung fu to be so high.
And Batoru next to him was really scary, killing all his men in just a few clicks.
"We have just received the news that the Xiongnu Royal Court has been destroyed, so we came over to investigate. We have no intention of launching troops yet! Moreover, our main force has now gone south to attack Beiyan, and we cannot attack the Royal Court at all."
"Beiyan?" Zhao Rui was shocked: "Have all the Hu people gone?"
The man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the five tribes gathered together an army of 100,000, and they also united with Dongliang and Southern Qi."
Zhao Rui's pupils suddenly dilated. The Southern Qi Dynasty was one of the best among the vassal states. They once had a king who dominated the vassals, directly threatening the position of the Great Shang suzerainty.
These three parties joined forces to attack Beiyan, probably determined to destroy the country.
Beiyan was the last clan vassal state of the Great Shang, and it was of great significance to the Great Shang. If it was allowed to be destroyed by others, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhao Rui did not hesitate at all. After killing the barbarian, he immediately called the messenger to him.
"Order the army to change its route and head southeast to the northern border of Beiyan. Then order people to rush 800 miles to our Dashang Imperial City and let General Bai Hua lead his troops out of the Cangyun Mountain Fortress to conquer Rongdi. We must
If you want to be fast, ruthless and accurate, you must make the princes in the world unexpected!"
Afterwards, Zhao Rui mobilized 50,000 elite cavalry and set off first!
Beiyan is considered the northernmost country in the world, a truly bitter and cold place.
Its population is the smallest among the nineteen countries in the world, except for Dongliang. The entire country's total military strength is barely 300,000.
It is already difficult to deal with the Hu people in the northeast on weekdays, and we have to guard against the Southern Qi's advance from the north.
Northern Yan almost lives in the cracks.
At this moment, there are half a million troops surrounding Ji City, making the entire city completely impenetrable.
Murong Xuan dragged his frail body and climbed up the city wall with the help of the eunuch, coughing step by step.
"Your Majesty, it is too dangerous here. You should go back to the palace. General Youmo will be guarding here, so you can rest assured!"
Le Cheng stood beside Murong Xuan with a shield and tried to comfort him.
Murong Xuan found a step and sat down, breathing heavily.
"General Le, tell me the truth, can this king be defended?"
Le Cheng didn't know how to answer for a while.
This time, the three forces arrived very suddenly. Jicheng only had 80,000 troops, and a considerable number of them were old and weak. If they wanted to hold on, it would be difficult to hold on.
