Guo Xiancheng has returned to Chang'an, and the newly-launched Hengduan Mountain new guard Tuobayan lies comfortably under the big tree, receiving the massage of the sunshine and Xi from the gaps in the leaves, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Guo Xiancheng's great defeat in the battle against Ming almost wiped out his confidants in the army. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted so quickly, although the commander of Hengduan Mountain was not commanding many troops, he was a solid guard, responsible for the security of Qi in this direction, and was a veritable military chief.

I am afraid that Guo Xiancheng would never dream of the powerful general he had high hopes, which turned out to be an undercover agent from the Ming Dynasty. This is probably the irony of the world. When the truth is revealed, it may be that Guo Xiancheng will be angry to death on the spot.

The just-concluded Three Kingdoms War involving Ming, Qi and Chu, Chu was broken and completely fell from its position as a powerful country. Although Qi won the victory of this war, due to the chaos in the country, the disasters of Jiang Tao, Wu Teng, and An Ruhai, especially An Ruhai, caused the people's livelihood of Qi to suffer severe damage. Qi now had to put away his fangs and focus on the recovery of domestic political and economics. Only Ming, who fought for years, was not dragged down by the war. Instead, every time a war was fought, the strength of the Ming Dynasty steadily rose to a higher level. Now, the Ming Dynasty is the second largest force in the mainland.

For His Majesty of the Ming Dynasty, Tuobayan admired the provocation of the five bodies not only the strength of the Ming army and the development of people's livelihood, but more importantly, the emperor's layout like an immortal and thoroughly understood all the arrangements always allowed the Ming Dynasty to set up chess pieces early, thus reaping one fruitful result after another without any pressure.

The Ming Dynasty will definitely unify the world, and Tuobayan has no doubt about this.

The Eagle Nest will not miss the great opportunity of chaos in Qi. Tuobayan believes that his colleagues at the Eagle Nest will have to take this opportunity to bury themselves deeply into Qi. Taking advantage of the conflicts within the Qi people, they will re-arrange a network of intelligence networks.

Well, speaking of it, I am no longer a person from the Eagle's Nest. I am now directly under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, but this does not prevent Tuobayan from missing his former comrades. Of course, there are many people who have already arrived under his command now.

Thinking of this, Tuobayan couldn't help laughing again.

His subordinates have been expanding. Since becoming the chief general of Hengduan Mountain, the expansion has increased faster, and the barbarians who come to vote for themselves are getting more and more. In terms of external attitude, of course, these barbarians escaped from the Ming Dynasty and fled to the hero of themselves, the barbarians, but Tuobayan knew very well that, except for a few of them who were unaware of the knowledge, most of them had received training in the Eagle Nest before coming.

Of course, only a very small number of generals know their true identities, and those guys who have successfully joined the army are probably really proud of their smooth infiltrating into the Qi people's army?

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help laughing, which made some soldiers around him look at him strangely. Tuobayan coughed dryly, took up the water bag on one side and closed his eyes again. Now the troops he had personally controlled had reached 5,000, and more than 3,000 of them were from the Ming Dynasty. Eighty percent of the middle-level generals were all brought from the Ming army. On the contrary, the 3,000 cavalry under his command now accounted for much smaller proportions. Murong Hai was still in the dark.

It is indeed a ridiculous thing for a Ming army to guard the border for Qi State.

The people of Qi are feeling very uncomfortable now.

Tuobayan felt this very clearly. The most intuitive reaction to this situation is that the logistics supplies transported to Hengduan Mountain have been decreasing in recent months, and the number of barely transported has also been much worse, which has once made the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Hengduan Mountain a problem.

Fortunately, there are the Hengduan Mountains, with high mountains and dense forests, and countless wild animals. Tuobayan organized an army to hunt in the mountains. Not to mention anything else, at least it can ensure that his army has meat to eat. As for picking wild vegetables, it is even more simple for him. When the supply in the rear is insufficient, he can only rely on himself.

Of course, he also smuggled, and the source was naturally from Hulaoguan, and he traded a large amount of food and other goods. As for whether the goods were transported by Ming or Qin, what did it matter? The soldiers only had enough food to eat.

The result in the army is the best proof. Now even Zhang Bai and Huang An are obedient to themselves. These two guys have been on the blacklist of the Qi army and have not dealt with them on the spot. It is probably because the Qi army really didn't care about this matter at that time, and now they don't deal with them later because they have to take care of Guo Xiancheng's face. However, now that Guo Xiancheng has become the general, I am afraid that Guo Xiancheng will deal with them without waiting for others to deal with these two guys.

After all, these two guys have been considered a shame for Guo Xiancheng.

Zhang Bai and Huang An probably knew that their prospects were bleak and were in bleakness. In this situation, they could fight for it. Of course they could not come forward, but some people did this. However, if they wanted to instigate these two guys, they would be able to make them desperate to get in.

"General, you're all packed up." A soldier walked over with a bloody knife. On the ground ahead, the cut pieces of meat were piled up. This time, the harvest was quite good.

"Let's go back!" Tuobayan jumped up. "Tonight, I will eat a big bowl of meat, and each person will give me a pound of wine."

It is not rare to eat meat, but it is difficult for the army to drink wine. Especially now, it is in a difficult period, and the luxury goods such as wine are not transported at all. The reason why there is wine in the camp was brought by General Tuoba. This alone is that the soldiers' support for him is a bit higher.

Hearing Tuobayan's words, a terrifying cheer came from the forest.

The defense of Qi army in the Hengduan Mountains was exactly the same as that of Xiao Qiang of Hulao Pass. They were scattered in the mountains with countless fortresses and checkpoints, blocking all the roads that could be passed by. Tens of thousands of people were scattered in this area and flew to each point, but there were not many.

The forefront are naturally the two unlucky guys Zhang Bai and Huang An. Those places are the most difficult and dangerous areas. The conflicts between the two countries naturally occur in this area. In places like this, these two guys who are not close to each other and do not love go to guard. When Cao Xiancheng was still in the Hengduan Mountains, the lives of these two guys were really hard to bear, and the replenishment was the worst. If the supply transported from the rear was insufficient, they would naturally be the ones that were few.

On the contrary, after Tuobayan came to power, their lives were better. Tuobayan was determined to win over, so naturally he would not be so harsh. At least he would ensure that they could fill their stomachs and get some wine every now and then. These two unlucky guys are very grateful to Tuobayan now.

Behind these two guys was the army that Tuobayan later recruited, but Tuobayan himself led three thousand cavalrymen and stationed in another place, Paomaping.

Only this place can accommodate his three thousand cavalry. This place has always been the base camp of the Qi army in the Hengduan Mountains, a rare piece of high mountain and flat land.

Unlike the harsh outposts ahead, Paomaping has a small town. Of course, the people living in this city are all soldiers.

A large group of people, carrying bags of meat, appeared on the Paomaping and the city wall. Someone immediately cheered. Tuobayan went out this time, but he walked for three days.

The city gate was wide open, and a group of people rushed out shouting and shouting. The leader was Murong Hai, a barbarian who followed Tuobayan when he was in the four counties in the north.

"Brother, the harvest is good!" Looking at the soldiers' bags of meat, Murong Hai's eyes shone. This was a guy who was not happy every meal. Looking at his throat swallowing up and down, Tuobayan punched him hard: "Have you not eaten meat for only a few days? Look, you are so greedy that you don't look like a general. By the way, has anything happened to me these days?"

"Nothing is wrong!" Murong Hai laughed and said, "General, what can I do? Didn't I hear that Xiao Qiang is about to marry his son? Now he still has to worry about making trouble with us, but he is still worried about whether we are making fun of him? Otherwise, we will go there and make him feel disgusted."

"You're full." Tuobayan cursed with a smile: "What's the benefit of getting him? What's the use of biting a few fortresses? Could it be that we can still rush to Hulao Pass? Don't forget that the commander of the Grand Marshal is to calm down. Now, it's not the time to move around, and the Grand Marshal's heels have not yet stood firm!"

"That's true. Now it's all right, it's the biggest credit." Murong Hai nodded repeatedly: "But he's really bored."

"If you are idle, practice more soldiers." Tuobayan snorted, "I see that you are a little absent-minded during this period. Is there anything you hide from me?"

Murong Hai shivered, "No, there is nothing to hide from the general."

His appearance made Tuobayan suspicious, and he grabbed his neck: "As soon as you stick out your butt, I will know what you want to shit, and you dare to say no?"

Murong Hai's expression changed for a long time before he whispered: "General, when he was training some time ago, he met an acquaintance. He came from Ming Kingdom and said, "I saw my wife and children."

Tuobayan's body stiffened. After a while, he let out a long sigh: "How are your brother and sister?"

Murong Hai looked happy, "I was doing well, and I said I had divided the house and the land. I just belonged to every woman, and it was very hard."

Tuobayan patted his shoulder heavily: "Don't tell others about this, let's make a long-term plan."
