It was quiet all winter on the Mobei grassland.
All the people in Zhantu took advantage of the opportunity of the Iron-Blooded Army to move south to attack Xuhuai and headed towards the northern border of the Central Plains.
The Zhantu tribe, which had been fighting and robbing each other of cattle, sheep and horses, also stopped fighting and used all their wildness and bravery on the road south to plunder.
During the summer and autumn, the Iron Blood Army attacked the Zhantu people from the north and drove the Zhantu people to the far north.
Now that the Jagged Army has retreated, the Zhantu people, who do not have enough food, risk going south to plunder, causing the northern border of the Central Plains to be in flames of war again.
Anyun's senior officials received the report of the battle in the north and believed that the Zhantu people's actions were very scattered and posed no threat to the slightly larger city, so they ordered all parts of the north to observe the order and defend the city with strong walls and clear fields, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
However, Anyun's senior officials had no intention of stopping the attack on Xu Huai.
They just mobilized some local defenders from all over Anyun to go north to support them.
Although several large-scale enemy forces were repelled, for the chaotic northern border, This is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Since the defenses in the northern part of the Central Plains were empty, measures were taken to strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness.
All the people living near the large and small cities were moved into the cities, leaving only the endless wilderness for the Zhantu people.
However, the Zhantu people attacked everywhere, using their horses to gallop across the plains, and often successfully looted some poorly defended villages and towns.
The Zhantu people who got the advantage gradually figured out the tactics of the Iron-Blooded Army.
They deliberately bypassed the strong city walls and did not fight with the large forces of the Iron-Blooded Army.
They just formed cavalry teams of dozens to hundreds of people to attack the defenders separately.
In the lax villages, some teams even reached hundreds of miles deep into Anyun.
Anyun's senior officials originally thought that the Turks would naturally retreat in a month or two, but now the war on the northern border is getting more intense, forcing Anyun's senior officials to pay more attention to it.
"The Zhantu people are no longer in power, but allowing them to plunder everywhere will be extremely detrimental to the recovery and development of Anyun.
They have no intention of stopping now.
They have no target on the border, so they ran to Anyun.
The hinterland really doesn’t take our Iron-Blooded Army seriously.
We must teach them a lesson for now,” Xian Guzhong said angrily as he looked at the battle report coming from the north.
"At this point, the only way to drive back the Tutu people is to move the large troops.
Then please Sir Xian, please temporarily stop the war against Xu Huai and bring back General Bai and General Wu.
Both of them are veterans on the battlefield.
We have also had many battles with the Zhantu people.
With the two of them here, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat the Zhantu people."
Lan Qi suggested.
"Are we going to transfer General Bai and General Wu back?
The Yaodong people are currently in civil strife.
This is a good opportunity to capture the land of Xuhuai.
If we miss this opportunity and wait for the Yaodong people to recover, we may not be able to do it again.
There is no chance.
Our army is in a desperate situation and its morale is high.
It is really inappropriate to bring back the two old generals at this time.
Doesn't Mr.
Lan Qi have any other ideas?"
Xian Guzhong said.
"There are other ways, but they are not good strategies.
Does Mr.
Xian really intend to listen?"
Lan Qi asked.
"Please also ask Mr.
Lan Qi to tell you everything you know," Xian Guzhong said.
"One way is to take advantage of the slack farming season in winter to raise a large number of men and form a militia group led by local squires to cooperate with our large iron-blooded army to resist the attack of the Tutu people.

Another way is to guard the river.
Among the 20,000 tiger warriors in Luocheng, thousands of elite cavalry were selected to attack the rear of the Zhantu people in Mobei.
If the rear of the Zhantu people is attacked, they will naturally retreat," Lan Qi said.
"In my opinion, these two methods are both clever strategies.
Why would Mr.
Lan Qi say they are not good strategies?
Can you please tell me what is wrong?"
Xian Guzhong asked.
"Recruiting young men and women is really a waste of people and money, and if it is delayed for a long time, the next spring plowing will be missed, which will be really detrimental to the recovery and development of Anyun.
Only when we have soldiers and food can we achieve great success; if we have soldiers but no food, Once the morale of the army is scattered, it will cause disaster.
Now that General Bai and General Wu are fighting against Xuhuai, my treasury in Anyun is already a bit tight, and I really can't afford to miss out on farming in the coming year.
Going deep into the hinterland of Mobei is too risky, and only a brave and resourceful general can't do it.
Dare I ask if Lord Xian has such a general under his command?"
Lan Qi said.
"Is there no other way?
Anyun's foundation cannot be destroyed.
I really can't find a general like the gentleman said.
Should we just let the Zhantu people do whatever they want?"
Xian Guzhong said.
"Since Mr.
Xian is unwilling to stop the war against Xu Huai, there is only a compromise method available.
The land of Lao Qin, Hedong, and Yanbei in the north is the place bordering the Zhantu people.
The people there can be organized into people Defense regiment training can resist the attack of the Tutu people.
The status quo can be maintained in the southern part of Anyun.
If there is a shortage of food in the northern part of Anyun next year, the food and grass from the south can be transported there.
This is also a stopgap measure.
"The attack on the Tutu people cannot be stopped.
To deal with cavalry, only cavalry is the most effective.
Back then, General Di Xianlandi, 30,000 cavalry could guarantee the peace of the north.
Now we can't get 30,000 cavalry, but once The number of tens of thousands is also a must," Lan Qi said.
"Just do what Mr.
Lan Qi said.
These Zhantu people are also very troublesome.
They will run away if they are beaten.
If you don't fight them, they will come back.
Sooner or later, Mobei must be wiped out, and such a serious problem must be completely eliminated.
Destroy it," Xian Guzhong said angrily.
Lan Qi just listened on the sidelines, smiling slightly and saying nothing.
Just when Xiangu was worried about resisting the attack of the Zhantu people, the rear of the Zhantu people in Mobei was enveloped in an atmosphere of panic, because the Mobei Flying Eagle, which had disappeared for a long time, reappeared.
That day, Wei Zeng, Du Feng and Zhao Jiahui captured a Zhantu man.
From that person, Wei Zeng already knew the current situation in the Central Plains.
The Zhantu people harbored hatred in their hearts, armed with sabers and bows and arrows, and only attacked civilians who had no power to fight back.
Wherever they went, there was a sea of sword light and blood, leaving only flames and ashes.
Wei Zeng was also angry after hearing this.
Although he was no longer the general with hundreds of thousands of troops back then, he could not allow the Zhantu people to behave like this.

Returning to the north of Yushan Mountain, Wei Zeng and Gucha discussed one by one and decided to take thousands of veteran soldiers to teach the Zhantu people a lesson, and then used the name of Mobei Flying Eagle to make the Zhantu people fearful and not continue.
Misbehaving.
Is relying on war the best way to end the war?
Wei Zeng could no longer agree in his heart.
But in the face of war, we must choose to be weak and pursue that pitiful peace amidst compromise and humiliation.
Wei Zeng would never do this.
When he chose to live in seclusion in Yishan, Wei Zeng once swore that he would never kill anyone again, and would only do his best to let the people around him live a good life and work hard to make them happy.
For this reason, Wei Zeng gave up his plan to continue fighting for hegemony, gave up all hatred and complaints, took his wife Weizhen and a pair of children, and worked hard to create a paradise deep in Yishan.
Wei Zeng worked hard to fulfill his promise, and he really spent a few years to let those who followed him live a life without worrying about food and clothing.
Maybe he should not be dissatisfied.
But the war in the world outside was still going on, and those he cared about were still struggling on the line of life and death.
When they don't know, they can still imagine that they have lived a good life and can have a moment of peace in their hearts; but after knowing all the facts, how can Wei Zeng continue to stay in the mountains with peace of mind?
Walking in this world that was already in chaos, with the murderous intention in his heart again, it was not that Wei Zeng had not struggled, but he had to do this.
But now he is no longer who he was before.
He is not fighting for the sake of war, nor conquering for the sake of conquest.
What death brings is not degradation, but a new life.
Thousands of cavalry were crisscrossing the grasslands of Mobei.
The veteran soldiers of the Yanbei Rebel Army were endlessly excited to be able to follow their General Wei to fight again.
Gucha was very proud to be able to fight side by side with his brothers from childhood to adulthood again.
The Zhantu people attacked in small groups of dozens to hundreds of people.
Although they avoided the large army of the Iron-Blooded Army, the cavalry led by Wei Zeng became a nightmare for them.
One after another, news of failure spread back to Mobei, and the name of Mobei Eagle became louder and louder, and the fear in the hearts of the Zhantu people also grew.
It seemed as if the tragic situation of Wei Zeng conquering Mobei and then burning the Mobei grasslands was happening again, but no one among the Zhantu people who had betrayed Wei Zeng no longer believed that Wei Zeng would let them go.
"Destroy the Mobei Flying Eagle.
As long as we kill him, no one can threaten us from now on."
Several people from the big tribes shouted, trying to fight to the death with Wei Zeng, but more people had not fought with Wei Zeng for a long time.
He had the courage to face a head-on confrontation and was already planning to escape.
Amidst the rumbling, the Zhantu people hurriedly gathered and attacked where Wei Zeng appeared.
But looking at the cavalry coming from a distance, Wei Zeng felt uneasy in his heart.
"General Wei, a rough estimate of the number of troops in front is only more than 4,000.
Our army can fight."
A scout hurried back and said to Wei Zeng.
"It seems that the Zhantu people no longer have much ability.
If they come to more than 10,000 people at once, I really can't deal with them.
But if they come one by one like this, victory can only belong to us.
Everyone, listen to me Give the order, form your formation and prepare to attack," Wei Zeng shouted.
The rusty armor has been polished clean and still shines brightly; the chipped weapons, although not as sharp as before, are still as powerful in the hands of warriors.
Under the command of Wei Zeng, thousands of cavalry were divided into three teams, left, center and right.
The people in the middle were led by Wei Zeng, with spears and shields in hand, forming a cone formation, ready to charge at any time and tear apart the enemy's formation.
The two teams on the left and right are led by Gu Chayi and Huang Yufei respectively.
Everyone has a bow and arrow in hand.
When the Zhantu people approach, they will rush forward, entangle with the Zhantu people, and attack for the people in the middle. time.
When the two sides were only a few hundred miles away, the Tuchu people stopped and did not immediately launch an attack.
Seeing Wei Zeng's flag and the well-formed troops from a distance, these Tutu people were also beating the drum in their hearts.
"You withdraw and promise not to invade the Central Plains again.

From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
You have no chance of winning against me."
Seeing that the Zhantu people did not attack, Wei Zeng shouted over.
"It's really ridiculous.
Do you think you can still order us now?
You only have so many people left.
The warriors of our tribe can kill all your people with just one arrow.
You should be the one who should escape."
The other person shouted back, obviously trying to embolden his own people.
"It seems that you won't give up until I defeat you, so there's no need to say anything more.
Everyone listens to my order and prepare to attack."
Seeing that the Zhantu people had no intention of retreating, Wei Zeng waved his steel staff and The order to attack was given.
Thousands of cavalrymen heard Wei Zeng's order, shouted loudly, stretched out their formation, and followed their respective generals to attack the Zhantu people on the opposite side.
The Zhantu nobles thought that Wei Zeng was no longer as brave as before, so they thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Wei Zeng.
Whoever could kill the Mobei Flying Eagle would have a greatly improved status among the Zhantu people.
With this respected status, it is not difficult to reunite all the Zhantu people.
But when they saw Wei Zeng's strict military formation, the Zhantu people had lost most of their confidence; when faced with the fearless soldiers of Yanbei who rushed to kill them, the Zhantu people only thought about how to survive this tiger and wolf situation.
Under the iron heel of the master, save a life.
The cavalry on both wings, led by Gu Chayi and Huang Yufei, got entangled with the Zhantu people.
During the exchange of fire, the Zhantu people had no advantage at all.
Wei Zeng did not rush forward immediately, but quietly watched the battlefield, waiting for the best time to attack.
After several rounds of shooting, the Zhantu people's team began to disperse.
The Zhantu nobles who led the army were afraid and moved to the rear of the team under the protection of their personal guards.
At this moment, Wei Zeng, who had been watching the battle, finally gave the order for the final charge.
He picked up the steel staff and rushed directly to where the Zhantu nobles were.
The general was not afraid and took the lead.
The soldiers were inspired by this pride and did not avoid life and death.
After an impact, the scattered team of the Zhantu people was divided into several small pieces that could not respond.
Gu Chayi and Huang Yufei led the cavalry, and cooperated with Wei Zeng's main force to eliminate these scattered enemies one by one.
Several Zhantu nobles who were fighting with Wei Zeng saw that their defeat was certain, and immediately abandoned their large troops and ran deep into the grassland.
Wei Zeng kept staring at them, how could he let them run away like this?
With more than a dozen personal guards, he stopped all the Zhantu nobles.
Wei Zeng even swung his steel staff and knocked several Zhantu nobles off their horses.
"Spare us, we are willing to surrender to you, we just ask you to spare us this time."
The Zhantu nobles who were knocked off their horses were already frightened and just begged.
"Let everyone put down their weapons and stop resisting."
Wei Zeng replied sharply.
In the shouts of the Zhantu nobles, all Zhantu people gave up resistance, threw down their weapons, and waited for the judgment of fate.
After the Yanbei soldiers won a great victory, cheers resounded throughout the grassland
