Tuoba Gui's expression changed, and he turned to look at He Lanmin: "Hey, my beloved concubine, where have you been? I haven't seen you in the tribe these days. I'm looking for you everywhere."
He Lanmin smiled slightly: "The Yan army is approaching, and Shao'er brought his grandma back to the Helan tribe a while ago. I was a little worried, so I went back to the Helan tribe to pick up Shao'er. Unexpectedly, I met Yan Jun on the way.
When the attack came, I left my followers and ran all the way back, just to report the news to you, the king. Fortunately, God protected me, and you finally blocked the Yan army."
Tuoba Gui curled up his lips: "If you want to go to Helan tribe, you should take Wuyuan Ferry. Why do you take Mosong Ferry?"
He Lanmin's expression was calm: "Because I found a light cavalry of the Yan Army, only a few thousand cavalry, passing between the Helan Tribe and Homo Chen Tribe, coming straight to the north, and breaking through with other Yan Army troops before
The tactics used by each tribe to seize the spoils of war were completely different. I knew that the king’s troops were scattered throughout the Hetao to appease the tribes and pursue Liu Bobo. The area along the river bank was empty, especially at the bend of the river in the north. There were no strong troops to guard it, so I went all the way.
He followed and kept sending signals to the king, didn’t you receive it?”
Tuoba Gui shook his head: "I came out very early today and was not in the camp. I probably missed it with your messenger eagle, or the Yan army also discovered that you were reporting the message and intercepted it. However,
In any case, we have blocked Murong Lin's sneak attack this time, which is worthy of celebration. Next, I would like to ask you to continue your hard work and pray to the Changsheng Heaven. Firstly, we are grateful to God for this help, and secondly, we hope that God will continue to bless us.
Wei, don’t let it be so cold this winter, and don’t let the Yellow River freeze.”
He Lanmin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is worried that the river will freeze and the Murong family's cavalry will cross the river directly on the ice."
Tuoba Gui winked and told the followers around him to step back. Then he looked into He Lanmin's eyes and sighed: "Yes, after all, the Yan Army is a powerful force that is rampant in the world. The armor and cavalry dispatched this time are all equipped."
More than 30,000 troops, which can be said to be the overwhelming force of the country, are sent out to destroy the Wei Dynasty. Murong Chui is probably over seventy years old and knows that his time is short, so he wants to destroy me in his lifetime to prevent me from becoming a
Trouble for his descendants. If it weren’t for God’s favor this time, Murong Chui would have been seriously ill after returning to Yecheng. I’m afraid I would be in real danger this time.”
He Lanmin smiled slightly: "But the king has God's blessing. Murong Chui is really ill. Although he sent his younger brother Murong De as deputy commander to take charge of the entire army, after all, his reputation is not justified. His sons
They are just being submissive on the surface, but in fact they are doing their own thing. The only one who really makes a surprise attack this time is Murong Lin. As long as we block him, there won't be any big problems."
Tuoba Gui nodded: "Very good, my dear, thank you for your hard work. You can go back and prepare for the sacrifice later. I will continue to patrol here for a while. I will see you when I return to the camp in the evening. Someone, come and take the princess back to the camp."
When a group of cavalrymen protected He Lanmin and disappeared far away on the horizon, Tuoba Gui's eyes gradually turned cold. A man dressed as a Han scribe, with a Confucian shirt and silk scarf, stood out particularly conspicuously on this grassland. He
A man in his forties, with an elegant face and fair skin, rode up to Tuoba Gui's side, held his hands in Han Chinese etiquette and said, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions for summoning me?"
Tuoba Gui looked at this man and smiled slightly: "Mr. Cui, what my beloved concubine just said is the truth?"
Mr. Cui curled up his lips: "Princess Helan did go to Hedong, but she did not release the trust eagles. She only released those trust eagles when Murong Lin was crossing the river, and there should not be any in the camp.
Someone pays attention to when these trust eagles fly back. If my prediction is correct, she should have been with Murong Lin. It is almost impossible for the Yan army to bypass the Helan tribe without the help of the princess.
"
Tuoba Gui closed his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Helan, Helan, why did you betray me? Over the years, except for that night, have I ever failed you once?"
Mr. Cui rode on the horse expressionlessly, saying nothing, until Tuoba Gui opened his eyes and looked at him: "Mr. Cui, not even a word of what you said to me today should be leaked, otherwise what will be the consequences?
,You know."
Mr. Cui smiled slightly: "Since I, Cui Hong, am loyal to the king, I will abide by the rules and regulations of the Wei Dynasty. This has been decided since the first day I promised to be your eyes and ears."
Tuoba Gui nodded with satisfaction: "Since Liu Yu left, my intelligence system has only relied on Mr. Cui. If Mr. Cui hadn't told me last time, I wouldn't have imagined that Fan Yanglu's family still has such a big presence in Hebei.
With enough power, you can organize an army. However, one thing I have never understood is that your Cui family of Qinghe is also a high-class Han family. So many Hu people have established their country in the past, including the Murong family of Dayan.
The Cui family once lived in Hebei, but your Cui family was never willing to take the initiative to become an official. Why is Mr. Cui willing to take the initiative this time?"
This Mr. Cui, Cui Hong, is the direct descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe. He is the sixth generation grandson of Sikong Cui Lin in the Cao Wei Dynasty. He has been called a prodigy in Jizhou since he was a child. He is famous all over the world for his talent and learning. Both his father and ancestors were praised by Later Zhao and Qian Yan.
Zheng, had been a small and medium-sized official, but he himself was unwilling to become an official. Even though Murong Chui heard about his talent and asked him to be an official for a while, he finally resigned, but it was last time
When Lu Xun invaded Yecheng, he took the initiative to secretly inform Tuoba Gui, and then asked Tuoba Gui to tell Murong Chui, thus setting a trap and killing all Lu's Hebei troops. From then on, Tuoba Gui appointed Cui Hong as his general.
The head of his own intelligence organization specializes in handling these confidential information.
Cui Hong smiled slightly: "We Han people have an old saying, good birds choose trees to roost, good ministers choose their masters to serve, and only when the monarch is wise will we become officials and leave our names in history. If the monarch is cowardly, we, the children of aristocratic families, will
Resigning from office and going into seclusion, waiting for the changes in the world. Back then, my ancestors served Cao Wei for generations and were prosperous and wealthy, needless to say, but the Sima family usurped Wei and established the Jin Dynasty. Originally, the Sima family, like our Cui family and the Lu family, were from a prominent family in Hebei. After he came to power,
However, they suppressed us who were also from Hebei aristocratic families. In addition, my ancestors had long seen that the Hu people were migrating inland and would not lose their tail, which would lead to chaos in the long run. The Sima family divided the kings and supported their troops to respect themselves, which was actually the way to disrupt the country, so
We, the descendants of the Cui family, have been taught to be patient and wait until a wise master appears in the world, then go and surrender to him."
Tuoba Gui smiled and said: "Then why don't you join the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Nantou like the Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan Wang family?"
