The next day, Zhu Li tested Zhou Dewei's martial arts skills and was very satisfied.

He did not expect that there was such a powerful general in the decayed Shuozhou. Zhou Dewei had already broken through the Tianguan and was an unparalleled general. This made Zhu Li overjoyed.

After five generations of powerful generals, Zhou Dewei was definitely among them. It was because Zhu Li in his previous life had always been paying attention to the top ones, so he ignored his existence. In fact, Zhou Dewei not only had outstanding martial arts skills, but also had a strong military service, was good at attacking and defending, and often won unexpectedly. He was not only a powerful general, but also a famous general.

As Sima of the governor's office, Zhou Dewei was a fifth-rank official rank. With Zhu Li's rank, he could not give him a higher official position at all, so he had to let him change his rank and grant him the title of Yueqi Commander and take the title of general.

He was asked to serve as the commander of more than 4,000 Yueqi under his command. As the governor, Zhu Li might be the only commander of these Yueqi in the future. The trust in him is self-evident.

(The governor's office generally has a special rank, chief of the chief, Sima, and the governor of Shangzhou are the fourth rank, so the governor of the deputy governor, the chief of the chief of the Sima is also the fourth rank; while the governor of the Xiazhou is the fourth rank, the chief of the chief of the Sima can only be a fifth rank, and the assistant of the governor of the Xiazhou is not fully established, so there are few individual ranks in Shuozhou.)

After everything was ready, Zhu Li began to implement their established plan at the North Entrance, infiltrating and eroding the Dangxiang. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of food and grass, he had to pretend to be a horse bandit and rob the Khitans.

Dangxiang, a descendant of the Qiang people, is known as Dangxiang Qiang. The most famous Dangxiang tribe near Shuozhou is the Dangxiang people headed by Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Youzhou.

Tuoba Sigong's sphere of influence included Xiazhou, Suizhou, Youzhou, Yinzhou, and Jingzhou, and even influenced Shengzhou, which happened to be close to Shuozhou, in the northwest direction of Shuozhou.

If you encroach on Shengzhou, you must try to cross the Yellow River. Shuozhou is the closest place to the Yellow River, which is Bitotouzhai. The distance between Bitotouzhai and Bitotouzhai is about twenty miles west of Bitotouzhai is the Yellow River. (Tanglong Town will be called Bitotouzhai in the future, and the checkpoint will be built sooner or later)

The Dangxiang people occupied too well, Shuozhou was too poor, and Zhuli was even poorer. If they eroded Dangxiang and then annexed Hetao, they would use Hetao's rich products to support the people and soldiers, it would be no problem.

In July, Zhu Li pulled out a thousand men from the auxiliary soldiers and handed them over to Shi Yan, allowing him to establish a ferry along the Yellow River. He and Zhou Dewei began to implement Guo Qizuo's plan, led his subordinates to cross the Great Wall, and began their career as a "horse bandit".

They set the goal of the first battle near Yinshan, a Khitan tribe with about two thousand people and the right side, because the scouts found many Han slaves in this tribe. The Khitans seized the Han people, and if they were men, they would force them to engage in heavy labor; if they were women, they would become the toys of the Khitan nobles, and if they were ordinary people, they would engage in heavy labor like men.

After the goal was determined, they rushed to the vicinity of their destination. Zhu Li and Zhou Dewei discussed it and planned to take action at dawn the next day. So they hid their subordinates in a hidden depression. After a full meal, they instructed Yueqi to rest and wait for the time to arrive.

----Separation line----

A few days ago, Zhu Li and Zhou Dewei led their troops to set off the day before, three people came to the next day in front of the governor's mansion in Shuozhou. One of them was the first to be a red horse and silver helmet, with a more handsome appearance than Song Yu, carrying a whip and a knife, and were charming, but the phoenix eyes were filled with evil spirits and a plain face was cold, as if someone owed her money and had not paid it back.

And behind her are both dark horses, thick and powerful pythons,

Han, one of them was carrying two giant axes in both hands, and the other was carrying two giant hammers in both hands. Looking around, the two of them had seven or eighty-six-eight-similar appearances, and they should be brothers.

Someone in front of the governor's mansion recognized the young general Silver Helmet and hurriedly stepped forward to worship and said, "I have met Mrs. Yuchi, are you here to find our envoy?"

This person is nothing else, but Yuchi Jin. Zhu Li took office as the governor of Shuozhou. She was very happy and actually had some fantasies in her heart. She had reminded Zhu Li to go to Yuchi's mansion, but the other party was stunned and ran to Shuozhou.

After all, there were many women in ancient times who had children at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Although Yuchi Jin was only fourteen years old, he had long longed for the happiness of the future.

As the saying goes, ideals are full, reality is very skinny. She watched with a beacon. The little girl under her command was almost called a husband-watching stone by her, but she never came for a while, and there was no sign of second-class. Now Yuchi Jin is popular. What do you mean by Zhu Li? You have a little future just now. Have you forgotten that you are not going to be able to do it? She didn't listen to Mrs. Yuchi's advice at all. After she was angrily dressed neatly, she brought two close-knit generals to the governor's mansion in Shuozhou.

The soldier in front of the governor's mansion recognized her, which made Yuchi Jin's expression relieve a lot, and said in a gentle voice: "Yes, where is your envoy, do you want to go in and report?"

The soldier didn't hear Yuchi Jin's teasing intention and said respectfully: "When you say that, I will go to war yesterday, and only the little lady Ning'er is there in the mansion."

Ya Bing still regarded Yuchi Jin as his own, so he spoke very calmly, but he suddenly thought of something and continued to speak: "By the way, Wei Guo also lives in the mansion. If you have any trouble, you might as well go to him to ask. The young lady Ning'er is studying with her husband and reading, so she is afraid she will not have time to read."

"Was the Khitans attacked here on the battlefield? Or was it that a military governor attacked here?" Yuchi Jin was shocked, and the anger in the phoenix eyes disappeared instantly, and a hint of worry appeared immediately, but he was guessing.

Upon hearing this, Ya Bing smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know about this family, but he must know about it."

"Okay, please take me to see Mr. Guo." Yuchi Jin's evil aura was instantly thrown to Java. When he heard that the guy had gone to war again, he urged the fangs to urge him.

"Okay." Ya Bing was very happy, turned around and took the three of them into the governor's mansion.

The governor's mansion is very large, but it is very empty, and it seems to be inconspicuous. In the huge governor's mansion, except for the fangs, the three of them walked for a long time and did not see a single figure. They walked into the inner courtyard and were close to the attic before they saw Guo Qizuo on it.

"Mr. Guo, where did your envoy go?" Yuchi Jin climbed into the attic "dian, dan, dan" without asking the fangs to inform him at all. Looking at Guo Qizuo who was writing and painting there, he asked.

Guo Qizuo raised his head and saw that it was Yuchi Jin. He quickly put down his work and asked the three of them to sit down first. Then hesitated and said, "The envoy had already gone to the north of the Great Wall yesterday. Well, I went to 'hunting'."

"Hunting?" Yuchi Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at Guo Qizuo with bad eyes. Is it necessary to run so far to hunt? He ran to the north of the Great Wall to hunt. Isn't this obviously not trying to tell the truth?

Guo Qizuo seemed to notice that Yuchi Jin's expression was wrong and said calmly: "Miss Yuchi doesn't know that Shuozhou is really poor, and it is impossible to say that it is desolate. However, in such a large state, there are less than 6,000 households, and the population is only more than 30,000, which makes the envoy come to the north.

The 15,000 army brought by the mouth could not count on these people to pay taxes to support them, so they could only find ways to solve the problem of food, grass and money."

"It's because of this that he went to hunt north of the Great Wall?" Yuchi Jin looked suspicious when he heard this, but then he narrowed his phoenix eyes and showed a dangerous expression and said, "Is he going to hunt, or to hunt?"

"Hahaha, my wife is indeed smart. The place of Yunshuo has always had serious military disasters. But who stipulated that only those Hu people can plunder us Han people, but we Han people are not allowed to plunder them." Speaking of this, Guo Qizuo's eyes became cruel, as if he even wanted to rush forward to kill a few Hu people by himself.

However, this expression only appeared for a moment and recovered, and then said, "Mr. Guo received news that the Khitan nobles were seizing power and attacking each other. So he suggested that the king conquer the Khitans in the north, eat up their living power, plunder their cattle, sheep, property, and women, and at the same time rescue the Han people who were trapped in their hands. This would not only solve the problems of the army's food, grass and money, but also fill the population of Shuozhou. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"It's right, it's too appropriate." The man holding two axes in his hand agreed and said, "He is Xie Tian, ​​one of the generals under Yuchi Jin."

"Well, it's a good idea. If I'm under the command of the envoy, I'll kill him a few Hugou." The man holding a double hammer also said repeatedly. His name was Xie Di, and he was loyal to Yuchi Jin with his eldest brother Xie Tian.

Yuchi Jin glanced at them helplessly. The three angry young men were really helpless and said solemnly: "What's the right thing to do? Sir, have you ever thought that if you do this, the Khitans will target your envoys?"

Yuchi Jin asked back, and when she saw Guo Qizuo seemed to want to explain, she said repeatedly: "I know that with Mr.'s plan, the whereabouts of the Shuozhou Army will definitely not be exposed. But if the Khitans conquered the Khitans, does Mr. think that only by killing can we accomplish things?"

When Guo Qizuo heard this, his brows frowned slightly and thought a little. He naturally knew that killing alone would not be able to accomplish anything. The reason why he came up with this plan was first of all, due to the severe situation he was facing. Secondly, after he and Wu Dao were together for a long time, they would be more or less affected by him, and even Zhu Li was no exception. Wu Dao Heavenly King, the founder of the Hu Ling, was full of contempt and hatred for the Hu people. When encountering such a thing, the first thing they thought of was to forge tooth.

Seeing Guo Qizuo pondering, Yuchi Jin said again: "Mr. My plan, if I guess well, it will be like the Khitans dealing with me, Han people, is that true?"

"No, do you think it's wrong?" Guo Qizuo said curiously.

"The direction of the plan is not wrong to eat up the Khitans. The Khitans are very powerful. If they are unified, they will inevitably become a major concern in the Central Plains. Shuozhou, as a major border town, will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. Now, while their troops are busy fighting for the Han throne, it is a good time to implement the plan. They don't have time to pay attention to your little moves."

"But the Khitans can also be conquered. For those who resist to the end, they will be killed. However, for those who are willing to surrender, there is no need to kill them all. It is still easy to move their families inward and control these people to surrender. As long as they are broken up, incorporated into the army, and mixed their families among the people of Shuozhou, they will not be afraid of them being capricious again."
