Pei Renji stood up with a touching look on his face and shook his head. "Why did Your Majesty say this? I am a soldier. It is just a duty to defend the country and the border. How hard is it? But those soldiers, even if they are on the plateau, still practice every day and do not dare to slack off..."

The plateau area is not as high as the Central Plains, nor is it as Guanzhong. The altitude of Guanzhong is not high, but near Qinghai, it is at least more than 2,000 meters above sea level, and some areas have even exceeded 3,000 meters.

Such an altitude made many soldiers unable to adapt. After arduous training, they finally gained a foothold in this area. And every season, they would draw troops to conduct a long-distance marching exercise in the field, and even go deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, for this, more than 300 soldiers died in non-war.

However, these costs are indeed worth it. At least, more than 30,000 elite soldiers of this field army were able to adapt to the plateau battle. After the greetings, dozens of civil and military ministers in the tent squatted inside. Pei Renji began to point out the sand table inside the tent and talk about it. The current king of Tuyuhun is Murong Shifu. This guy was afraid of being beaten by the Sui Dynasty and was afraid of being exterminated by the Sui Dynasty. Yu Qian begged Yang Guang. In the end, Yang Guang would marry Princess Guanghua, a royal family girl from the Sui Dynasty, as his wife.

This man had no ambitions in Shifu. Even in the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun did the most was to make small fuss in the border areas and make some profits. After this young master seized Guanzhong, he even took Hexi and Western Qin.

The Xue family of Western Qin was the master who had fought against Tuyuhun and defeated tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops to flee in a panic. After seeing that the Chinese Revival Army in Guanzhong far surpassed the combat effectiveness of Western Qin, Shifu put away his ambition to advance to Guanzhong and continue to be his nomadic king.

The previous year, Shi Fu was seriously ill and had to stay bedridden and unable to take charge, and his son was still young, which made Tuyuhun's government and military power fall into the hands of his younger brother Fu Yun. Fu Yun was definitely not a stable character, or Fu Yun, who was in his early twenties, was younger and more ambitious than Shi Fu who was in his early 40s.

Now, it is said that this guy has begun to be flirted with the Princess Guanghua. However, in order to make those who are not convinced, Fu Yun decided to invade the east to show his martial arts. At the same time, he can also shock the royal families in China who are unwilling to be inferior to him.

So, he came, of course, at the beginning, he took action against Xihai County. Xihai County also included the entire Xihai (Qinghai Lake in later generations) and most of the major counties in Qinghai Province in later generations. At that time, I was cleaning up the land of Bashu. Besides, Xihai County was still in the hands of the old Sui officials, so I didn't care much.

What I care about is to pacify my backyard first and pacify the land of China. But now, after Fu Yun succeeds, he seems to feel that this young master has not reacted at all, and his courage has finally begun to become scared.

So, after a while, Fu Yun finally gathered the army again and came east with murderous intent. Along the way, Fu Yun personally led it down through the Salt Pond in the West Sea, and along the way, he was led by his uncle Murong Daxi to seize the Heyuan and then headed straight to the Jiaohe River.

Murong Daxi is nearly 60 years old, but he has a good tooth and tastes good, so he is very good in health. The old man used to be a powerful general, but now, although he is in his sixties, he is still a general with many talents in Tuyuhun.

Moreover, although this old guy doesn't have much political acumen, he at least has a good vision. When Murong Shifu got seriously ill and was bedridden, he defected to his nephew Murong Fuyun to serve him.

He was very prestigious in Tuyuhun. With this old guy joining his team, Murong Fuyun was naturally overjoyed and attached great importance to him. Now, he has become the commander of the army, responsible for the eastern expedition of the south road.

After Murong Daxi took over Heyuan County, he felt very unsatisfied, so he sent someone to inform Murong Fuyun, and on the other hand, a large army came straight to Jiaohe County. In addition, after Murong Fuyun in the north also felt that it would be unhappy to go back to the court like this. What’s important is that there were two counties in the land invaded by the Sui Dynasty in the past, so they decided to continue the eastern expedition and must return to the old Tuyuhun Temple.

"According to the plan sent by the court before, our army sent a division to meet Murong Daxi and fought and retreated. From the border, it retreated to a land less than fifty miles from the capital of Jiaohe County, and defended by the barrier of Lianyun Mountain...

In the past two hours, the plan of march was finally determined, and the sister Yaoguang led the Fourth Army to the place. Han Shiyan was arranged by me to go with Yaoguang, and Pei Yuanqing led another division to go, adding only one division stationed in Xiping County. Their troops along the way were more than 50,000. This was enough to deal with the Tuyuhun partial division.

Well, Li Xuanba should have stayed with me, but I decided to send this guy over. No matter what, with this powerful general on his side, and Han Shiye, the long-time general in the army, the Yaoguang girl's safety is more guaranteed.

However, I kept most of the cavalry division of the Imperial Guards, which was originally commanded by me. In addition, the army that had been collected before was the total strength of one army and half of the cavalry division of the Imperial Guards. I rushed to Jaehe County to reinforce the army that was intercepting the Tuyuhun army.

After the assignment was completed, I asked Li Xuanba and Yaoguang to stay and gave it to me. "...Madam, please remember to give your husband an explanation. It is better to be cautious, and don't take any risky actions."

"Husband, please don't worry. I really don't take it seriously." The girl Yaoguang looked proud and was so angry that she took Li Xuanba's attention and slapped her plump buttocks. "Don't be proud. If you still have such thoughts, then don't go."

Yao Guang, who was smug, would not have been suddenly attacked. He let out a low voice, covered his plump buttocks and glared at me angrily, but this young master glared back at her with a serious look on his face. The girl finally knew how to give in and quickly grabbed my arm with a smile. "I will definitely be careful and will not just take Murong Fuyun's head alone. You should rest assured now, right?"

Enjoying the beauty brought by the friction of Yaoguang's plump breasts and my elbows, I finally nodded. "Don't forget your promise to be a husband, otherwise, I will not want to lead the army in the future."

"I don't want our children to be so young and cannot see their mother, do you know?"

Sister Yaoguang sighed softly and nodded obediently. "Don't be upset, husband, I know I'm wrong, I will definitely not do anything recklessly, so you can rest assured."

Seeing that the Yaoguang girl finally understood my painstaking efforts, I let out a long sigh and called Li Xuanba who was standing beside her and shrank her head and watched the show. "You guy, remember, look forward to your sister. As long as you go to the battlefield, you will stay by your sister's side and you will never think about going anywhere. If your sister has something to do, let me see how I deal with you.

"Brother-in-law, please don't worry. Xuanba will definitely live up to your expectations and will definitely not be half a step away from my sister. Whoever dares to hurt my sister will take his life." Li Xuanba nodded with a ferocious face, and said with a sword on his waist.

"Okay, my wife is here, I'll take care of you for my husband." I turned around, reluctantly tightened my hand that was shaking Yao Guang, and whispered.

"Well" Yaoguang nodded heavily, with a look of happiness on his face, as if it were the brilliant spring light. Then, he pointed outside the tent, and Li Xuanba, a buddy who had just looked invincible, ran out in shame.

"Husband, what are you doing? This is the armor on the calf. Why do you put it on my arm?"

"...Oh, you bad guy, don't touch your hands, how long will you delay?"

"Bad guy, don't look at it, I'm wearing it myself."

"Oh, how can this be done? I said that if I want to put on you armor, I must put it from beginning to end..."

"Ph, what's this? Who has the tail?"

"Hey, hey, this is just an adjective. Don't kick me. You are an iron foot. What if you get a problem with your husband?" This young master, who was eating tofu, was refuting Yaoguang's sister in a sensible way, while continuing to persist in bad things.

Finally, after half an hour of busyness, the evocative and erotic work of wearing armor was finally over. In addition to the helmet, the girl Yaoguang, who had been dressed all over, also wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered in a low voice: "It's true, this time wearing armor is the most tiring time for me."

"What's the matter? Such a dignified Emperor of the Chinese Empire is putting on you armor. You are still talking nonsense. Do you believe it or not to serve your husband's family law?" This young master was so tired that he almost stuck out his tongue. When he heard Yao Guang's complaint, he couldn't help but glared at him.

"Tsk, come on, let me see how you do your family law?" Sister Yaoguang actually started to show off and patted her hand on the hard armor on her body. When I looked at the woman who was completely wrapped in the iron armor, I immediately looked dark and couldn't help but stretch out my hand and pinched her pink face. "Little thing, just be proud. When you return to the master, I will see how my husband will deal with you."

Another day later, the army finally arrived at the capital of Jiaohe County. The capital of Jiaohe County was not big, which was similar to the large county in Guanzhong. There were only more than 3,000 households in the city. However, the army did not enter the city, but directly bypassed Hejin City and stationed on the banks of the river five miles west of Hejin City with the two divisions that had arrived before to reinforce.
