After Wu Jie came out, he said with a sad face: "What's the matter?"

"Yu Yunwen is here to visit you." Guo Hao seemed to know what Wu Jie was doing just now, so he interrupted Wu Jie with a bit of pride on his face.

"Can't you just go and deal with it?"

"It seems that there is an emergency and I have to see you."

"I see, you are the one who seized this opportunity and must call me out!"

"The general will not dare!"

Wu Jie ran in, put on his coat, and then walked to the front hall.

Yu Yunwen and others are waiting there.

"I'm here to see Wu Shuai!"

Wu Jie looked kindly: "Why did Binfu come to see me?"

Yu Yunwen said straight to the point: "Commander Wu, to be honest, I'm here to borrow troops."

"Borrowing troops?"

"The barbarians outside the Pass killed some of our merchants without authorization, which caused the merchants in Fuzhou's market to complain, and some people dared not go north to leave the Pass."

"So you came to me to borrow troops to fight the barbarians?"

"Yes."

"If I remember correctly, His Majesty's mission for you is to maintain good relations with those people outside the customs. Are you going to send troops to fight them?"

"If we don't teach them a lesson, how can we explain it to our own people? Who will dare to go out to do business in the future?"

"But if you send troops and have a fight with them, wouldn't the relationship between the two parties be ruined?" Wu Jie asked.

"If you just beg for help, what will you get in exchange for it?"

Wu Jie burst out laughing: "Okay! I like your idea. How many troops do you want?"

"Three thousand cavalry."

"You have a big appetite. You want 3,000 cavalry as soon as you ask. I have a total of 5,000 cavalry here!"

"If we don't defeat those barbarians once, they will think we are easy to bully!"

"Do you know how to fight?" Wu Jie said with a bit of ridicule on his face.

"To fight is to destroy the enemy!"

Looking at this young scholar, Wu Jie couldn't help but think of himself when he was young. He said, "What if the relationship is completely messed up?"

"It will be borne by the lower official alone."

"I'm afraid you can't afford it alone."

"But now, we must send troops!" Yu Yunwen said, "Please also ask Commander Wu to help me!"

"Guo Hao!"

"The end will be here."

"Go and order three thousand cavalry, and go out with Yu Zhizhou, so that the barbarians can feel our enthusiasm!"

"Got the order!"

After Guo Hao and Yu Yunwen went out, he asked, "When will Yu Zhizhou want someone?"

"Want it now!"

"Now, are you so impatient?"

"If we are too slow, the barbarians will know that we are going to attack them, and they will take precautions or run away." Yu Yunwen said, "The grassland is very vast. If they run away, how can we find them again?"

Guo Hao couldn't help but be a little surprised that Yu Yunwen, a scholar, actually had such an opinion.

He couldn't help but praise: "Yu Zhizhou actually knows soldiers!"

"The ways of the world are mostly the same." Yu Yunwen said, "Why don't Guo Dutong send scouts to investigate first, and the others will set off immediately?"

"Okay, it's as you said!"

Three thousand cavalry fought their way out of the north of Fugu and entered the boundary of Fengzhou.

The boundary of Fengzhou was naturally also the border of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had set up some fortresses here before, but due to frequent wars, the population gradually withered and they were abandoned.

And after all, it is a border area, and the boundaries are not as clearly drawn as those in later generations. There are often some barbarians coming to clear grass and valleys.

In fact, this area entered the junction of the Central Plains Dynasty and the grassland.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that did not like to build the Great Wall. It was said that the boundary of Fuzhou was where the ancient Great Wall passed through, but it was not rebuilt in the Song Dynasty.

The main reason is that many fortresses were built here to fight Xixia, while the bigger border troubles were in Hebei.

Guo Hao asked: "Yu Zhizhou, who are we going to fight when we come out? Do you know where the enemy is?"

"Of course I know that in the south of Yinshan Mountain and north of Fuzhou, these barbarians are called the Wanggu tribe." Yu Yunwen said seriously, "This Wanggu tribe claims to be the descendants of Li Keyong, and is related to the Mongolian tribe.

The Wu people are different, they speak Turkic language."

Guo Hao couldn't help but be surprised. No wonder Yu Yunwen dared to send troops so quickly. He had already learned a lot about the opponent.

Yu Yunwen continued: "The Wanggu people, like most Northern Yi people, lived a nomadic life, but they also did some farming. In the past, some of them would go south to trade with us, but more of them would trade with the Jin people.

.”

"Then what is their military strength?"

"The Wanggu tribe has a large number of people south of Yinshan Mountain, but they do not live in groups and are scattered separately."

"Then how do we pursue our enemies?" Guo Hao asked, "We can't just kill them wherever we see them, right?"

"Of course not. If we kill them wherever we see them, we will soon completely anger the entire Wanggu tribe, cut off the possibility of wooing them, and make them completely turn to the Jin Kingdom, which is not good for us."

"What if we kill Jue?"

Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment and said: "The killing is endless. Back then, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing used coaxing and deception to fight the Huns. Once the Huns realized that they could not beat them, they ran away, and the Han army could no longer find anyone on the vast grassland.

.”

"Then who is our target this time?"

"A man named Uncle She, Hu Shi's younger brother. I went to see Al Hu Shi last year. He was very interested in our cooperation, but his younger brother wanted to cooperate with the Jin people and always wanted to be our enemy.

.”

"Do you know where he is?"

"If nothing else, he should be several dozen miles south of the Yellow River."

This range has been reduced to very small for the cavalry.

"It seems that you already know his whereabouts."

"This person has shown hostility to our country many times. He herds horses south of the Yellow River and often sends some troops to wander in that area. His purpose is to threaten the reconstruction of our city wall in Fengzhou."

"How many troops does he usually send out?"

"I don't know yet."

Guo Hao said: "It doesn't matter if I don't know. My three thousand cavalry are more than enough to defeat one Wang Gu tribe."

On the eighth day of April, two hundred miles southwest of Yunnei Prefecture, a group of cavalry was indeed recuperating there.

This group of cavalry is the soldiers and horses of Wang Gu's tribe.

This area belongs to the boundary between Qiantao Plain and Houtao Plain, which is also the vicinity of Baotou in later generations.

Not only can horses be herded here, but there is also farmland, located south of Yinshan Mountain.

Yinshan Mountain was an important dividing line between the Central Plains dynasties and the nomadic peoples in ancient China.

Of course, the place Yinshan was taken over during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

To the north of Yinshan Mountain is endless grassland and desert, and to the south of Yinshan Mountain is a long and narrow plain area from west to east, which is the legendary Hetao Plain.

The Hetao Plain is rich in products. Whoever seizes it will have the initiative.

At this time, Uncle She was drinking heavily and eating meat.
