Chapter 62 Surrounded
Yuwen Zhao has no reason not to hurry.
He had been working hard for a long time before he killed Yuwen Hao, who was invincible and could not help but take Yuwen Hao to the position of the leader of the Helan tribe, and thus took down the largest tribe besides the king's tent without bloodshed. This time, he sent troops to attack Jimen Pass. In addition to Yuwen Zhao's tent, the Helan tribe also contributed the most. As the second largest force among the Yuwen tribes, the Helan tribe must not be missed.
He was so anxious that he only brought a few hundred guards, left Jizhou overnight and rushed to Helan's army.
Along the way, news from the Helan tribe kept reaching his ears. Yuwen Zhao realized that the Helan tribe had indeed changed hands, and at the same time he roughly knew what was going on. From Qigui tribe to the Helan tribe, they were all cavalry suspected to be Yunzhou Army, stirring up the storm outside the pass.
Yuwen Zhao's Yuwen Department, which had been painstakingly managed for many years, was completely demolished by this cavalry.
In anger, the King Yuwen Tian immediately ordered Qigui's troops to block the way for the cavalry to enter the pass.
Since Yuwen Jie was dead, Yuwen Zhao naturally would not risk his life to go to Helan's tribe. After he ordered Qigui's tribe to stop the Yunzhou cavalry, he transferred 10,000 troops from Jizhou and surrounded him, preparing to eat the Yunzhou cavalry first and then slowly clean up the mess.
Li Xin entered the pass from Yunzhou and went deep into the Helan tribe. There was no problem with the cavalry of more than 10,000 people not being noticed, but once someone paid attention, it would be difficult to hide his body. Ye Mao discovered something was wrong on their way from Helan tribe to Yunzhou town.
At this time, they were about three or four hundred miles away from Yunzhou City. Ye Mao led a team of cavalry to investigate and sent several scouts. He himself walked to Li Xin with a serious expression and lowered his head and said, "General, the situation is not very good."
Li Xin rode on the horse, looked at Ye Mao, and said, "Someone blocked the way?"
Ye Mao nodded and said, "The brothers in the scout camp have been hurt a lot during the process of exploring forward. Some people have seen many Xianbei people cruising in front of us and looking at the direction... they should be from Qigui tribe."
"After so long, Yuwen Zhao, who is far away in Jizhou, also discovered something wrong."
Li Xin sneered: "Qigui's tribe has injured so many people and is obeying Yuwen Zhaoyan's plan. He is such an unscrupulous loyal dog."
Li Xin came out of Yunzhou this year, and now he has gone from Qigui tribe to Helan tribe. More than a month has passed since he went back and forth. In a few days, it will be the New Year Festival of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao. For such a long time, so many people have done so many major things, it would be wrong not to be discovered by Yuwen Zhao.
Li Xin had already anticipated this situation, so he asked Ye Ye Mao to contact Yunzhou City in advance and asked the Zhong family army to try their best to get out of the city to help them enter the pass. However, now, if Qigui's troops who were blocking the middle were intercepted, Li Xin and others would suffer heavy losses if they wanted to rush through the defense line of Qigui's troops.
The opposite side was full of Xianbei people who were good at shooting, and more than 10,000 "cavalry" who only learned to ride horses. Even if there were not many members of Qigui's tribe, they could only return to Yunzhou City alive.
Therefore, even Li Xin was a little out of control and scolded Qigui's tribe.
Ye Mao stood behind Li Xin, silently.
General Li frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Does Zhongwu have any answers?"
In this situation, I had no choice but to cooperate with the Zong family army and forcibly break out of the Qigui tribe.
"not yet."
Ye Mao lowered his head and said, "Plot the time, I guess the letter has just been sent to Yunzhou City. It is still unknown whether the Zhong family army will risk going out of the city to greet us. Even if they are willing to leave the city, there will probably not be too many."
Speaking of this, Ye Mao was silent for a while and said in a muffled voice: "Besides, the news of my uncle leaving the customs has probably been sent to the capital. No one can tell whether the emperor in the capital wants us to return to the capital alive or not."
Li Xin shook his head: "This is the imperial guards of the imperial capital of the imperial court. To put it bluntly, even if more than 10,000 people died outside the pass, I am sure that you and me will enter the pass safely."
Speaking of this, Li Xin waved his hand: "Order the order to stop the army and camp on the spot."
Facing the military order, Ye Mao was not ambiguous at all and nodded immediately. Not long after, more than 10,000 people stopped and found a slope to camp on the slope.
It was still in the afternoon when camping. After the camping tent, the sun had almost set halfway up the hillside. Li Xin summoned a group of generals, including Ye Mao, and dozens of people sat neatly on the flat ground in Li Xinshuai's tent.
Li Xin was the only one sitting on the chair, and his face was serious.
"You guys must have known what the situation is now. The Qigui tribe was blocking the road ahead. Even if we rushed over, there were not a few people left, so we couldn't come."
Speaking of this, Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Let's camp here for the time being. The scout camp will send two lieutenant camps behind us to investigate. If you find someone following us, come and repay us immediately."
In addition to intelligence issues, there are specific defense issues and military formation allocation issues. Ye Mao is more professional than Li Xin. Li Xin simply asked Ye Mao to preside over this "military meeting". Duke Ye was not vague and stood up from the ground. He arranged all the responsibilities of the captain and the captain in just half an hour. In just half an hour, all the generals in the tent dispersed, leaving only Li Xin and Ye Mao.
Ye Mao took a sip of water, looked at Li Xin, and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Master, although it is not easy to rush over, since Qigui's tribe is blocking the road ahead, Yuwen Zhao will probably catch up from behind, and we cannot wait to die here."
He looked at Li Xin and asked, "What is the situation now... in the Holland tribe?"
Li Xin sat back in his seat and said silently: "Shen Gang has personally gone to the Holland tribe. The situation of the Holland tribe will be sent back in the past few days. We will wait here for three days. If there is no news from the Holland tribe in three days, we will be prepared to forcibly rush through the defense line of Qigui tribe."
Ye Mao nodded and said yes, then found a chair in the coach's tent and sat down. He looked at Li Xin and said, "Uncle Master, in three days... if you can't wait for news from the Helan tribe, you will let Shen Gang take you into the gate secretly and leave it to me."
Li Xin frowned and looked at Ye Mao, shook his head and said, "There is no reason. Even if I want to leave, I will take you with me."
Ye Mao smiled.
"I have two sons, one of them has been sent to the southwest. Even if something happens to me, the incense of the Ye family will not be cut off. Now Jimen Pass is broken, and the Zhenbei Army is almost gone. My father and grandfather have been ruined for decades of hard work. If I can die outside the pass, it will not be considered embarrassing to the Ye family."
After being forced from Jimen Pass and the Zhenbei Army suffered heavy casualties, Ye Mao rarely smiled again and had a knot in his heart.
Li Xin frowned and walked to Ye Mao, and said, "You didn't lose Jimenguan, what does it have to do with you?"
"Before Master Ye left, he asked me to take good care of you. If I don't nod, you will not die. Otherwise, how can I explain to Master Ye in the future?"
General Li reached out and patted Ye Mao on the shoulder and said softly: "Let's relax."
"I promise you that no matter what, Zhenbei Army will rebuild it."
