(The fifth update is delivered, thanks to Checheda for his monthly ticket support!)

On the grassland, Li Keyong's secret envoy Shi Yan stood up on horseback, and in front of him was the vast iron cavalry of the grassland. The black flag, black leather armor, tall horses, and sharp scimitars gathered into a black torrent, emitting a solemn atmosphere. The army was boundless and stretched for more than ten miles.

In just a few months, Shi Yan lived up to his expectations and ran day and night on the inside and outside the Great Wall and the vast grassland desert. Finally, he moved the Khitan Yilijin and dozens of tribes of all sizes on the grassland. He agreed to Li Keyong's request and formed a grassland tribe coalition to prepare to go south to Daibei and clear the portal for Li Keyong.

The real warriors of this army were only 10,000 cavalry, but this time they went south to fight, they were robbing. In order to seize Shatuo from Li Siyuan, Li Keyong promised the tribes that they only had tens of thousands of soldiers facing south this time, and when they arrived, the tens of thousands of soldiers would still insist on fighting by then. He agreed with the tribes that in the north, Li Keyong and the tribes would take half of all the money, grain and children of Li Keyong and the tribes, and the territory would belong to Li Keyong. If they could help him to conquer the five prefectures of Weizhou, Wu, Xin, Ru and Gui, then all the money, grain and children of the five prefectures would belong to each tribe, and he would not take any of them, as long as the territory.

The leaders of the tribal coalition forces were happy to accept Li Keyong's generosity and were willing to make a fortune in the Central Plains this summer.

The warriors and cavalry of each tribe raised 10,000, but each warrior brought four auxiliary soldiers. The strong soldiers brought their father and son with them. In their opinion, this would be a grand hunt, and they had to bring more people, otherwise how could they bring back those rich spoils? Each warrior brought more than twice the auxiliary soldiers before. In addition, many small tribes even moved their clans, all the young and old men in the clan were dispatched, and some even brought strong slaves and strong women.

By the time this team finally arrived at the grassland at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, it had reached a scale of 80,000 people. It was truly vast and boundless, and the team stretched for dozens of miles.

Last year, during several wars on the grassland, the Khitan and the grassland tribes in the north of Yinshan suffered great losses. Because of the strength of the Qin vassal, the grassland tribes had not crossed the Yinshan Mountains for several years. This time, Li Keyong told them that Li Jing's hundreds of thousands of troops were now fighting with the Khitan, Shiwei and Heishui coalition forces in the northeast. Daibei is now in a time of emptiness, and it is just right to grab a vote.

Now, countless tribes on the grassland gathered at the tempting invitation of Li Keyong and were ready to go to the Central Plains to grab some good things. Anyway, Li Keyong asked them to grab his own home. How could such a good thing be rejected?

Shi Yan looked at the groups of horses passing by. These tribal coalitions had no formation, they were just whistling by, and even dragged their families with their families, father, son, grandson and grandson to fight together. But Shi Yan would never doubt the power of this army. The grassland tribe, even the elderly and children, was sometimes stronger than the soldiers in the Central Plains.

What's more, he firmly believed that as long as this army appeared in Daibei and entered Datong Yanmen, it would inevitably put huge pressure on Li Siyuan's army. By then, the soldiers who had regained their loyalty to the King of Jin would take the opportunity to attack and fight back. Li Siyuan would never be able to stop it.

The King of Jin spent so much effort to invite a large army from the grassland, not all to deal with Li Siyuan. It would be enough to deal with Li Siyuan with the order of King Jin. However, the King of Jin did not want to make things go long and dream. Before it was inconvenient to use the southward corps in the river, he directly invited a Hu army from outside the frontier to destroy Li Siyuan with the power of thunder and regain Daibei. The most important thing is that once the Hu people become addicted to Daibei, as long as they say a few nice words, they will definitely continue to fight Weizhou and Shanqianzhou.

Let the Hu people fight with Li Jing.

Li Ke and Abacus were very good. If the Hu people conquered Weiwu and other places because Li Jing is now devoted to the battle of Northeast China, it would be a great thing. Anyway, it would be a profit if you pay some money and food. Even if the Hu people are defeated by Li Jing, it would be fine. Anyway, the Hu people die, and it would be good to use those Hu people to consume Li Jing's strength.

No matter how you calculate it, Li Keyong will not lose.

Shi Yan remembered the secret envoy he sent, and must have arrived in Hezhong. I don’t know if the news has been successfully delivered to the King of Jin. Now the tribal coalition is ready to go, just waiting for the King of Jin to give the order.

In the river, Shatuo Camp was dark, and the night was already dark.

After beheading Li Sizhao, Li Keyong completely took over the military power of the two Shatuo Army going south and merged them back into one. For this reason, although Zheng Congqi, the Marshal of the Hedong Alliance, was a little dissatisfied, he finally just agreed. Li Keyong was not Li Sizhao and Li Cunjin. As long as this domineering guy was willing to continue to attack Luoyang together, Zheng Congqi would tolerate his other small actions.

It was already dark, but Li Keyong had not fallen asleep yet. He sat quietly under the lamp, thinking about his thoughts silently.

Cao was also following the army at this time. Seeing Li Keyong silent, he asked, "There is no news from General Shi?"

Li Keyong nodded and then said, "Don't worry, the last time he sent someone, he said that everything went well. Shi Yan was loyal and capable of doing things. He would definitely live up to his mission, bring the coalition forces back, defeat those traitors, and take back the land of Daibei."

Cao shook his head, "I'm not worried that General Shi will not be able to complete his mission, but that I'm worried about other things. I always feel that there may not be such a war. General Siyuan is your adopted son, so maybe he can talk about it. Then there is no need to fight. The Hu people went south and the King of Jin wanted to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, but he was afraid that he would lead the wolf into the house. Daibei is our foundation now. If Daibei loses it, he will be homeless."

Li Keyong faced Cao's worried look, but couldn't help but think of Liu. The couple was so happy in the past, but now all this has changed. Liu Yunniang has become someone else's woman, but she still has to use external forces to regain power from the hands of her two adopted sons.

Li Keyong walked over, stroked Cao's shoulders, and looked at her with a firm look: "It won't matter. We will definitely take back Daibei and establish Shatuo Kingdom in the future. When our children grow up, he will be Shatuo King."

At this time, footsteps came from outside, and a guard reported: "Master, there is an urgent report."

Li Keyong heard the voice of the black crow soldier Mi Rong. Last time he was in danger, Mi Rong kept his guards, which made Li Keyong trust him very much. Now that he has regained military power, Li Keyong immediately appointed Lao Kang Mi Rong and others to serve as important guards, and Mi Rong became a personal guard.

Li Keyong lifted the tent and Mi Rong led a man to stand there, reporting: "King, the envoy of Dai Bei has arrived."

"Is there any news from Shi Yan?" Li Ke smiled on his face. He had been waiting for the news, and now it has finally arrived.

The person behind Mi Rong bowed to Li Keyong: "Report to the king, I am not General Shi's messenger, I am General Cheng Huaiyi's messenger, I have just arrived all the way from Taixiguan."

The smile on Li Keyi's face froze on the corner of his mouth. Cheng Huaiyi guarded the Wei Dai border Taixi Pass. Before Li Keyi showed up, he had already secretly sent someone to contact him. In fact, Li Keyong passed by Taixi Pass last time when he went to Yanjing. Cheng Huaiyi had regained allegiance to him and was willing to fight back against Li Siyuan at a critical moment. But now Cheng Huaiyi sent someone to come, something unexpected must have happened.

"What's wrong?" Li Keyong asked with a frown.

The messenger took out a message barrel from his arms, which was covered with Cheng Huaiyi's fire-lacquered seal. The seal was intact and had never been opened.

Li Keyong opened the letter tube and took out a letter from it.

The more you look, Li Ke's frowns, the more powerful he is. "Cheng Huaiyi's spies found that the Qin army in Weizhou was constantly moving, moving towards the Wei Dai border and the Wei Yun border. There are also traces that there are more Qin troops passing through Jundu Xing and Puyin Feihu Xing and entering Daibei."

Mi Rong couldn't help but say: "The Qin army suddenly moved so suddenly at this time. Do they want to attack Daibei?"

"Or, the traitor Li Siyuan already knew the movement here, so he was eager to jump over the wall and didn't care to hide it. He had already tore through the disguise and surrendered to Li Jing directly, asking Li Jing to send troops to help him and protect us from cleaning the portal." Li Keyong snorted coldly. The abnormal movements in Daibei indirectly proved that he had previously suspected Li Siyuan. This damn life had indeed colluded with Li Jing long ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible that Li Siyuan would react immediately as soon as he executed Li Sizhao, and Li Siyuan did not even send him a word of explanation.

"You should notify Cunzhang immediately, Cunjin, Sien, Siben, and let them come here immediately. I want to discuss specific countermeasures with them." Li Keyong said to Mi Rong.

Several Shatuo generals arrived quickly, and on the way they came, they had already known the reason why Li Keyong recruited them. Hearing that the Qin army was moving and adding troops to Daibei, everyone looked solemn. Daibei is Shatuo's hometown, and now it is Li Siyuan, the "traitor". If Li Siyuan leads the Qin army into Daibei, it will be really troublesome.

Almost all the soldiers in the Hezhong camp are in Daibei. If Daibei is lost, the army may be disbanded.

"What are the kings planning to do?" Li Cunzhang asked.

Li Ke clenched his fist. He had been thinking for a long time just now. Although he controlled 50,000 Shatuo soldiers and horses in the Hezhong camp. However, there was a Taiyuan in the river. If Li Siyuan really surrendered to the enemy, he would be afraid that the distance would not save the nearby fire. Now, it would be useless to be anxious. He thought that he would personally kill Li Sizhao in the river and seize 50,000 soldiers and horses in the river. Then he asked Shi Yan to lead the Hu people south to Daibei. At that time, Cheng Huaiyi and other generals suddenly launched an attack, attacking inside and outside, without giving Li Siyuan any spare room to capture Yanmen Datong. But who would have thought that Li Siyuan's reaction would be so fast, or Shi Yan's movements were slower.
