On the north bank of the Gonglu River, there is the Han army camp.
A fast horse galloped into the camp and arrived in front of the tooth tent.
The knight jumped off the horse and walked into the tooth tent.
He knelt down and bowed to Yan Xing, who was studying the map, and said, "General, the sentinel found traces of the Tuoba Xianbei people leaving " "Where are they?"
Yan Xing stood up and asked eagerly.
The knight walked to the large map hanging next to him and pointed to a location and said: "The scouts found the traces they left here.
They should have gone northwest.
According to their marching route, they should have gone to Gong Lu Shui.
The upper reaches of the river cross the river to Langjuxu Mountain."
Yan Zhixing walked to the map, picked up a brush and drew some arrows on the map, stepped back and looked at it, and suddenly said: "No wonder my lord's East Route Army has never crossed the river, but is slowly advancing towards Langjuxu Mountain.
It seems that My lord has guessed their destination a long time ago.
You should go down and rest first."
"Yes, I am resigning."
Yan Xing stared at the map and suddenly shouted: "Come here, please come over, Master Li."
Li Ru rushed over quickly, cupped his hands and said: "General Yan, you look for Li" "Military advisor, come and take a look.
The sentry has just detected the traces of the Tuoba Xianbei people.
You see, they are heading northwest along this route.
They must be crossing the Gonglu River upstream to reach the Langjuxu Mountain.
The lord must have guessed where their destination is, so he divided the entire army into four and surrounded Langjuxu Mountain."
After listening to Yan Xing's story, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good now.
With the traces of the Tuoba Xianbei people, we feel relieved.
We don't have to be suspicious all day long and worry about them jumping back to the south."
Yan Xing nodded and said: "Military advisor, I have decided to order the entire army to follow the footsteps of the Tuoba Xianbei people.
What do you think?"
Li Ru frowned and said: "General, the lord's order is for us to guard the north bank of the Gonglu River to prevent the Tuoba Xianbei people from escaping back to the south.
If the general leads troops to the northwest, wouldn't he be disobeying the lord's order?"
Yan Xingdao: "At this time and that time, when my eldest brother gave me the order, I lost traces of the Tuoba Xianbei people.
Now that we have found their traces and can roughly deduce their location, the situation is different, and we cannot guard it.
According to the previous order, we must be more proactive, otherwise we will delay the fighter opportunity."
Li Ru suddenly smiled, bowed to Yan Xing and cupped his hands and said: "After listening to the general's words today, Ru believes that the general is enough to take charge of his own affairs.
He has truly grown up and has become a famous general.
Congratulations to the general."
Yan Xing felt a little embarrassed when Li Ru said this, and said with a smile: "Military advisor, don't be in a hurry to congratulate me.
It won't be too late to congratulate me on the day when I truly achieve success.
The top priority is to assemble the troops and set off quickly." ah" "Li will do it now" Three days later, Yan Xing led his army to Fulohan's territory, and Fulohan came out with his son and some tribal officials to greet him.
"Welcome General Han, the grassland is shining with your arrival.
I am Fu Luohan, the leader of this tribe."
Fu Luohan bowed to Yan Xing in front of the Han army formation not far away and said.
Yan Xing did not say anything after hearing this, and asked Li Ru: "Military advisor, this is the first time we have encountered such people who are so hospitable and polite after entering the Mobei grassland.
It seems not very authentic for us to kill them at this time."
Li Ru thought for a moment and then whispered: "The Tuoba tribe has obviously been here.
As for their whereabouts, I'm afraid only Fu Luohan knows.
Let's stabilize them for the time being and express friendship to them.
At the same time, we also want to express our friendship to Mo Mo."
The other Xianbei tribes in the north have sent a signal that we are not killing innocent people indiscriminately, and we will deal with Fulohan after we have solved the Tuoba tribe."

Yan Xing felt that Li Ru's idea was reasonable.
He nodded and said loudly to Fu Luohan: "Chief Fu Luohan, our Han army has no intention of invading your tribal territory.
The Tuoba tribe has been harassing our Han border all year round.
We The Han court couldn't bear it anymore and decided to let Tuoba not pay the price.
Our army followed their traces and came here.
We also asked the leader Fu Luohan to hand over the people of Tuoba tribe to us.
We will bring friendship to your tribe. " Fu Luohan quickly saluted and said: "Dear General of the Han Dynasty, people from the Tuoba tribe have indeed come to my territory.
With my strength, I can't stop them at all.
I can only let them pass.
Who knows that they still robbed some of us?"
Cows and sheep, it’s so abominable, now they have They went northwest.
Maybe they have reached the river.
It's getting late now.
If the general doesn't mind, he can let the soldiers rest and camp on the spot.
I have ordered people to kill cattle and sheep, and prepared some koumiss.
I also asked the general to Taste the food of our steppes with your soldiers” Yan Xing and Li Ru looked at each other, nodded and said loudly: "I, Yan Xing, have no choice but to accept the kindness of Chief Fu Luohan.
Thank you very much for coming.
I will order the whole army to camp and rest on the spot."
The soldiers dismounted and started to set up camp.
Yan Xing and Li Ru came over on horseback with hundreds of soldiers.
Fu Luohan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very glad for his choice, so he led Yan Xing and others to his tent.
Entering the camp, Fu Luohan gave up the first place to Yan Xing and sat down.
He sat with him on the left side, and Li Ru sat on the right side.
Some Han generals and Fu Luohan's tribal officials and generals came in one after another.
Nodding to each other.
The women of the tribe soon served beef and mutton, along with copious amounts of kumiss.
Yan Xing and Li Ru were not very fond of the beef and mutton cooked by the Xianbei people.
They only put a small amount of salt and were not salty.
It was very bland.
However, it is understandable if you think about it.
Although there are many saltwater lakes in Mobei, the nomads do not If you know how to make salt, you can only buy salt from Zhongyuan.
Salt comes from The price of transportation from Central Plains to Mobei has increased dozens of times, and sometimes it is often unavailable.
Herdsmen sometimes have no choice but to use the water of the salt lake or the mineral salt in the rock crevices to make seasonings, but these salty substances are not available.
After refining and processing, the taste is very bitter and difficult to swallow.
Although the taste is very bland, it is still fresh meat.
It is also delicious for Yan Xing and others who have been eating dry food and dried meat these days.
Yan Xing, Li Ru and the generals eat very seriously.
Kumis also has a strange smell, with a strong fishy smell, which really doesn't feel good to Yan Xing and others who have never drunk this kind of wine.
When he was almost done eating, Yan Xing said to Fu Luohan: "Chief Fu Luohan, how many people do you have in your tribe and how many people can control strings?"
Fu Luohan replied: "General, my tribe is a small tribe, with only more than 10,000 people, and the maximum number of soldiers that can fight is only 2,000.
When the Tuoba tribe came a few days ago, Pu Tou and Bu Dugen took the tribe with them.
I went northwest with the Tuoba tribe, but they were afraid of being massacred by the Han army and refused to stay."
Li Ru asked: "Then why did Leader Fulohan stay?
Aren't you afraid of our massacre?"

Fu Luohan stood up, stroked his chest and bowed: "General, sir, I heard that the Han people are reasonable and the most merciful ethnic group in the world.
You have civilization and etiquette over there.
I believe that the Han people are not a murderous ethnic group.
Killing all living things in sight is something that rarely happens even on our grasslands.
Once it happens, such a group will be besieged and destroyed by all ethnic groups.
Although my group is barbaric and does not understand etiquette, But we all hope to be educated by the Han Dynasty.
I heard that the Han Dynasty is a dynasty with a long history.
It has ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years and played a great role in educating the surrounding barbarians.
After enough efforts, I am willing to lead my The tribesmen surrender to the Han and accept the canonization and enlightenment of the Han.
We are willing to pay tribute to the Han every year.
We also ask the generals and lords to report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han and the court.
Fulohan will be grateful."
Yan Xing and Li Ru looked at each other in confusion.
How to deal with this matter?
If the other party wants to declare itself a vassal and pay tribute, they cannot attack this tribe casually.
This is related to the court's diplomatic strategy and external face.
If this matter is successful, it will give the Han Dynasty a fortune.
Face thing.
If the two of them decide without authorization to accept the other's offer of becoming a vassal and paying tribute, and use force against them, once this matter reaches the court, they will inevitably be criticized verbally and written by the Qingliu people and defenders.
Li Ru quickly smiled and said: "I understand the thoughts and intentions of Chief Fu Luohan.
I will soon send someone to report this matter to the Han court.
However, this will take some time.
Please ask Chief Fu Luohan."
Wait patiently” Fu Luohan saluted again and said: "Of course, my people and I will wait for the good news from the Han court."
At this time, Yan Xing asked: "Chief Fulohan, how many people were there when the Tuoba tribe arrived here?
How many people did Budugen and Putou take away?
How many soldiers are there to fight?"
Fu Luohan said: "When the Tuoba tribe arrived here, they had less than 5,000 troops.
The total number of Budugen and Putou's tribesmen was close to 30,000, and they had about 6,000 fighting troops."
Yan Xing frowned and said: "So their combined strength now exceeds more than 10,000.
Leader Fu Luohan, there is a thing.
My troops are just the vanguard, and the number is only more than 5,000." , my number of troops is too small.
Although our main force is behind us, we cannot catch up in time, so I hope I hope that Chief Fu Luohan can take your tribal soldiers and horses with us to pursue Tuoba Jiefen, Budugen and Putou.
As long as they are eliminated, I will speak for you in front of the Protector and the Emperor and commend you.
Your achievements will definitely be rewarded in large quantities by then, and the court may even confer you the title of King of Xianbei, what do you think?"
Fu Luohan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the first few sentences.
He asked him to take people to defeat Bu Dugen, Pu Tou and others.
He really couldn't do such a thing, but the next few sentences of Yan Xing made him My heart is pounding.
But whether to agree or not is really hard for Fu Luohan to make a decision
