On top of the city, Tuoba Liwei looked south from a distance, his eyes full of expectation.
He was hoping that the Chu army could retreat as soon as possible so that he could recuperate and restore his damaged strength.
"We have lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. We need to annex a few more scattered tribes in Mobei to regain our strength..." Tuoba Lisi thought in his mind.
A messenger on horseback galloped back and arrived at the top of the city.
"Your Excellency, Leader Dugu sent a young man to deliver the news. Yan Liang has been feasting and drinking these past few days. It seems that he has fallen into the trap of your Majesty. Yan Liang also promised that he will return south in the next few days."
Tuoba Li was slightly refreshed, his frown finally relaxed, and his whole person felt much more refreshed.
"Go back and tell Dugu Loumo that if we can deceive the Chu army this time, he will be my greatest contributor to Xianbei. I will definitely not treat him badly." Tuoba Liwei made the promise happily.
The messenger thanked him and rushed to the city, turning to Baidaocheng to see Dugulou Mo.
Tuoba Li slightly looked down at the south, with a sinister smile on his lips: "Huh, Yan Liang, you have accepted one hundred thousand sheep from me. You should get out of here after you have eaten and drank enough. I will lend you these one hundred thousand sheep."
Yours, I will take it back with interest from you next year."
Just when Tuoba Li relaxed his guard slightly and thought about the future, several people on horseback arrived at Baidao City from the direction of Yinshan Mountain in a hurry.
"Where is Mr. Tuoba, where is Mr. Tuoba, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!" The Tuoba people who came in a hurry were so panicked that they climbed up to the top of the city.
Tuoba Li recognized them slightly. Those people were the leaders he had left in Yinshan, responsible for the security of the various tribes in Yinshan.
Seeing these people coming in a hurry, Tuoba Li frowned and shouted: "What are you yelling about? It's just those disobedient tribes who are fighting for the pasture again. Didn't I give it to you?"
Order: Anyone who dares to fight for pasture will be killed, so why are you panicking?"
"Sir, this is not about Caochang. It is Baima Yi from the Chu army who suddenly rushed to Yinshan and captured the Yinshan Pass." The Xianbei people who were kneeling on the ground told this shocking news with a mournful face.
"What!" Tuoba Li changed slightly in shock, and his expression turned extremely ferocious.
Those Xianbei people trembled and told Tuoba how Zhao Yun led the white-horse Yi Cong suddenly out of the valley. How they dispersed the Xianbei people gathered in Yinshan Mountain. How they easily captured the Yinshan Pass.
The force is weak.
Tuoba Liwei's whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he was in an unprecedented state of panic.
His figure was swaying and his steps were unsteady. He quickly held on to the city wall and finally managed to stand still.
"How is it possible? Baima Yi has been wiped out long ago. How can the Chu people get to my rear? This is unreasonable..." Tuoba Li was so shocked that he was incoherent. His thoughts were extremely confused.
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood the mystery.
It turns out that Yan Liang's acceptance of his surrender was just a deception to stabilize him and make him relax his vigilance. In secret, Yan Liang sent another army to steal his escape route without anyone noticing.
Baima Yi of the Chu army went to Yinshan, but did not massacre his people, but seized the Yinshan Pass immediately. This shows that Yan Liang's fundamental purpose is to imprison all of his western Xianbei people in the desert.
In the southern grassland, they are not allowed to escape to Mobei.
Yan Liang actually wants to destroy the entire Xianbei in the west. His appetite must be too big!
After realizing Yan Liang's "trick", Tuoba Liwei was shaken. For a moment, he was so shocked that he almost fainted.
"Tie Yan, you are so insidious, so insidious!" Tuoba Li was slightly shocked and resentful, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Yan Liang.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Zuo Zuo asked in horror.
Tuoba Li was slightly frightened for a while, then managed to regain his composure, frowning and thinking about a countermeasure with a grimace on his face.
He knew that the news of the fall of Yinshan Pass would spread throughout the army in a short time. At that time, all the armies would inevitably collapse and collapse without a fight.
The most terrible thing is that the army was defeated and he was still unable to escape to Mobei. Doesn't this mean that Yan Liang would lock him up, beat a dog, and imprison him to death in Monan.
"For the current plan, we must first capture Yinshan Pass!" Tuoba Li gritted his teeth secretly and made up his mind.
Tuoba Li didn't have time to think too much, and immediately decided to lead 20,000 elites, quietly leave Tieshan City at night, and go back to Yinshan Mountain to recapture Yinshan Pass.
Before Tuoba Liwei left, he sent someone to Baidao to secretly inform Dugu Loumo about the situation and asked him to find ways to stabilize Yan Liang no matter what.
Tuoba Liwei thought that although the Chu army had captured Yinshan Pass, it would take at least one or two days for the news to reach Yan Liang. Within these two days, he would be enough to capture the Yinshan Pass which was only guarded by 3,000 Chu troops.
.
At that time, even if Yan Liang came to attack in a big way, he would not be able to withstand it and would probably lead his troops to flee to Mobei and leave.
…
Baidaocheng, Chuying.
When Dugu Loumo received Tuoba Liwei's secret report, he was naturally shocked and scared out of his mind.
After being shocked for a long time, Dugulou Mo finally regained consciousness and thought about how to stabilize Yan Liang.
After thinking hard for more than an hour, Dugulou Mo finally came up with an idea. He quickly suppressed his panic, put on a smile and went to meet Yan Liang.
As for Yan Liang at this time, he was naturally in the imperial tent, eating and drinking, enjoying the wine and meat "extorted" from the Xianbei people.
Dugulou Mo met Yan Liang in person, and after some flattery, he generously proposed that his master Tuoba would like to add 50,000 sheep to Yan Liang as a gift for his labor.
"Offer 50,000 more sheep?" Yan Liang, who was slightly drunk, couldn't help but look strange when he heard this.
Yan Liang could see that although Dugu Loumo had promised happily before, when he sent those 100,000 sheep, the pain in his body could not escape Yan Liang's sharp insight.
But now, without waiting for Dugulou to "blackmail" him again, he proactively offered to donate another 50,000 sheep. Such initiative and generosity was really unexpected.
"Dugulou Mo, fifty thousand sheep is not a small number. When did your master become so generous and want to offer me tribute?" Yan Liang asked with a sneer.
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and we, the Xianbei tribe, have great respect for you. These 50,000 sheep are just my Lord Tuoba's token of sincerity in submitting to Your Majesty. This is a natural gift." Dugulou Mo said with a smile.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
These were the golden words that Yan Liang had accumulated over the years. He could see through them at a glance. Tuoba Li offered another 50,000 sheep for no reason, and it must not be to show his sincerity.
So, what is the reason that prompted this kid to take the initiative to cut off his flesh?
Yan Liang's eyes turned quietly, and he glanced at Xu Shu unconsciously, only to see Xu Shu excitedly nodding towards Yan Liang.
In an instant, Yan Liang suddenly realized.
It must be that Zhao Yun successfully attacked Yinshan Pass, and Tuoba Liwei led his army back to his hometown to put out the fire, so he asked Dugulou Mo to sacrifice sheep again, hoping to use his so-called sincerity to stabilize himself.
Yes, that must be the case!
Wanting to understand this point, Yan Liang smashed his wine glass on the table and cursed: "What bullshit sincerity, Tuoba Liwei, that bastard, he was in a hurry to seize the Yin Mountain Pass, fearing that I would take the opportunity to attack, so he came up with such a bad idea."
, I asked you to sacrifice the sheep again to stabilize me, right?"
Yan Liang's voice was like thunder, shocking the soul. Dugulou Mo was exposed and his thoughts were exposed. Under the shock of his mind, he forgot to cover up for a moment and showed all kinds of panic.
The expression on Dugu Loumo's face was clearly a hit to Yan Liang's heart, making Yan Liang even more convinced of his guess.
"Come here, drag this cunning old dog out for me and cut it into pieces!" Yan Liang shouted with authority and angrily issued a killing order.
The Tiger Guard sergeants on the left and right swooped forward and pinned Dugulou Mo to the ground like a dead dog.
Dugu Loumo's suppressed composure completely collapsed at this moment, and all that was left in his mind was terror.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, I shouldn't have deceived Your Majesty, I've done it all, I've done it all~~" Dugulou Mo knelt on the ground and howled.
A contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth. Hugou was indeed a hugou. They were bullies and fearful of the strong. With such a scare, he admitted all of them.
"There is no need for you to confess. I have known for a long time that Tuoba Liwei wanted to use the opportunity of false surrender to trick me into returning to the army so that he could have a chance to breathe. Yes or no." Yan Liang's tone was full of sarcasm.
meaning.
Dugulou Mo was shocked and dumbfounded, and stammered: "It turns out...it turns out that His Majesty saw through it early in the morning..."
"My emperor has wiped out the world. Many princes have been defeated by the emperor. Treacherous people like Cao Cao and Liu Bei are no match for my emperor. What's more, you are a barbarian. You are playing tricks in front of the emperor. You really overestimate your capabilities."
Xu Shu also stood up and sneered at the Xianbei Hulu in front of him.
Dugu Loumo, who suddenly realized this, was so ashamed that he realized that he had been acting self-righteously these past few days, thinking that he was fooling Yan Liang, but he didn't want others to know your true identity, and he had been playing like a dog.
he.
The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I became, and the more I thought about it, the more afraid I became. Dugu Loumo's fear of Yan Liang had reached its peak.
"Your Majesty is wise, but you are so stupid. You should never have helped Tuoba Liwei to deceive Your Majesty. Now Tuoba Liwei has indeed led his army to rob Yinshan. I am willing to submit to Your Majesty and work for Your Majesty.
I just want to be a horse and ask for His Majesty's mercy."
Dugulou Mo didn't care about many things. The most important thing was to save his life, so he truthfully revealed the true situation inside Xianbei.
Yan Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled in unison.
As expected, Zhao Yun fulfilled his mission and captured Yinshan Pass by surprise.
Tuoba Liwei led his army to rescue. Tieshan City must have unstable people and weak defenses at this moment. It is a good time to launch a large-scale attack.
Yan Liang glanced at Dugu Loumo, who was like a dog, and said coldly: "You said you wanted to work for me, okay, I will give you a chance." (To be continued...
