Tuobayan sat in the snow, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand, and wiping his scimitar one by one. The update was as fast as possible behind him, and more than a thousand cavalrymen gathered.

He carefully wiped the dirt on the knife, raised the scimitar to his eyes and glanced. Tuobayan nodded with satisfaction, and with a snap, he even sheathed the knife, stood up, walked to the war horse beside him, took out a handful of beans from the cloth bag on one side, and fed it to the horse's mouth. Seeing the horse eating the beans, he touched the war horse's long mane with satisfaction. Seeing the horse finishing eating, he took out a piece of jerky meat from another bag, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hard. The dried cow was very hard, and his cheeks were a little sore, but he still had to chew it hard and swallow it.

Looking at the more than a thousand cavalry under his command, Tuobayan's smile became stronger.

After sending Prince Wu Jing of the Queen Yue to Cao Hui, he and Qin Li returned to the four northern counties. Murong Jing had already escaped first. Although he was not dead, he was seriously injured. He could not get out of bed within half a year. With Qin Li and Murong Jing as the introductory persons of Tuobayan, he had no effort to gain Murong Hong's trust and was accepted by Yan State.

Whether to follow Murong Jing to Yanlingwei or to lead troops in the army is a difficult question for Tuobayan. The Eagle Nest has no instructions on this aspect. After the Condor Heroes successfully sent Tuobayan, there was only a general framework for what happened next. There was no detailed task assignment for Tuobayan. It was just that he could obtain Murong Hong's trust as much as possible, and it was difficult to enter the top leaders of Yan State step by step.

When you go to Yan Lingwei, with Murong Jing's appreciation and promotion, you will definitely be able to climb up faster, but there are also great risks, because when you go to Yan Lingwei, he is concentrated with his peers, and any carelessness may expose yourself. After repeated thoughts, Tuobayan said that he would go to the army to lead troops to fight.

So Tuobayan came to the command of Murong Hong, the general of the left army of Yan State. Because Tuobayan performed very well in the rescue of Wu Jing. Under the full pursuit of the Ming Eagle Nest, he safely brought Wu Jing out, showing his extremely strong and strong personal ability. More importantly, the other Yan Lingwei followed Wu Jing to Qi, far away from the war-torn place of the four counties in the north, while Tuobayan came back to this resolutely, which made Murong Hong even more admired. Therefore, as soon as Tuobayan arrived in the left army, he served as a cavalry general who commanded thousands of people.

Yan State has lived in the mountains for many years, and there were not many cavalrymen and they also lacked horses. Therefore, every cavalry was the elite of the Yan army. Naturally, it was necessary to make things difficult for such a general who fell from the sky.

However, it took Tuobayan only a month to completely gain a foothold in this thousand-man cavalry.

The first step is of course the fist. Since ancient times, people in the army have had harder fists, and their voices have become louder. Tuobayan's fist is very hard. Soon after he took office, he beat the people who dared to provoke to the point of being disgusted.

The second step is cruel and ruthless. For the challenger in person, Tuobayan bravely responded to the challenge, never retreated, and just won, and never pursued it. However, those who stabbed the knife with their backs and secretly stumbling was merciless. The most cruel time was to tie the deputy general who incited the soldiers in the army to make trouble in the snow and ice. He first whipped the blood all over his body, and then threw it into the snow and frozen to death. In the end, he was picked up, but he was useless.

Third, the backstage was strong enough. The soldiers soon discovered that the new general was not an ordinary person, because Tuobayan could always get things that other troops could not do, such as weapons, armor, war horses, and food. It seemed that as soon as the general of their general came out, these things would always appear in the camp the next day. Their thousand-person team was treated the best among the entire Left Army, almost comparable to the personal guard camp of the US Left Army General Murong Kang.

Taking three steps, Tuobayan quickly established a reputation among this thousand-man cavalry that no one could shake.

This general was not only ruthless, but also bold. This time they came out, in name, was a patrol of the border, but in fact, Tuobayan received the news that he would temporarily serve as a robber.

The four counties in the north rebelled and wanted to take advantage of the unstable position of the Ming Dynasty to disrupt the Ming Dynasty and then make profits from the chaos. After several troops and horses were defeated, they had to withdraw the four counties in the north. The Ming Dynasty seemed to have no strength to beat the dogs in the water and did not pursue the victory, but surrounded the four counties in the north.

The four counties in the northern region were originally military cities and were close to the mountains. They were not grain-producing areas themselves, and grain was imported more from other places. In this blockade, grain became the biggest problem. Especially in Yan State, in addition to the army, hundreds of thousands of ordinary barbarians also walked out of the deep mountains and moved into the three counties of Pingyuan, Ningyuan and Zhenyuan. The influx of these people was the instant magnification of the food crisis. After winter, the problem became even more serious.

Refining food became another important task of the Yan army.

Attacking the Ming garrison and looting Ming people's food became the only way. Yan army troops took out the gap between the Ming army's blockade line, and some successfully brought back the food, while others remained there forever.

The Ming army seemed to have great interest in this kind of cat and mouse game. The two sides fought again and again, winning and losing each other. Tuobayan also led the team to attack once and returned with great victory. He even directly attacked a fortress of the Ming army, where hundreds of Ming troops were annihilated in that fortress. Tuobayan got dozens of stones of grain at one time.

But since that time, Tuobayan has lost interest in such a battle, because he did win in that battle, but dozens of people died. He turned his eyes to the other side, Fuyuan County.

Jiang Haokun's timely withdrawal allowed him to keep his old nest Fuyuan. If he had been entangled with the Ming people for a while, Fuyuan would fall into Murong Hong's hands. His timely withdrawal made Murong Hong swallow Fuyuan without breathing, and both sides were allies above Mingyi. Compared with Yan State, Jiang Haokun's life was better. He also had reserved food, and Fuyuan County refused to enter the barbarians, which prevented the population of Fuyuan County from soaring. More importantly, Jiang Haokun could still get food from outside.

A black trading line continuously smuggled grain from the Ming Dynasty to Fuyuan County, and the price sold was several times that of local sales in the Ming Dynasty.

With huge profits, the bold merchants were prompted to ignore the blockade and strict investigation of the Ming army, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, showing their magical powers, and through various means, they sold grain to Fuyuan County.

This time, Tuobayan received a top-secret news that another grain smuggling team passed the Ming army's border and was heading towards Fuyuan.

Tuobayan took his thousand cavalry and sneaked into Fuyuan, quietly waiting for the grain team to come to the door. Strictly speaking, Tuobayan violated the agreement between Yan State and Jiang Haokun, and was an act of destroying the alliance, but Tuobayan didn't care at all, he didn't care, and the soldiers didn't care.

"General, here we are here!" On the top of the hillside, a sentry turned around and waved his hand excitedly at the Tuobayan at the bottom of the slope. Tuobayan stepped up and rushed to the top of the slope in two steps. In the distance, more than a dozen or two carriages were lined up in a long trek, strolling forward in the snow with difficulty.

"Fuck!" Tuobayan suddenly cursed.

"General, what's wrong? There are more than a dozen taels of carriages, at least 20,000 kilograms of grain. We'll send it this time!" The deputy general Murong Hai, who was besieged by Tuobayan, said excitedly. He was promoted by his former deputy general after being damaged by Tuobayan. He was also one of the people who had been beaten to the point of taking care of himself by Tuobayan. Now he is devoted to Tuobayan.

Tuobayan was actually scolding the Ming people. He could think of how such a huge grain transport team passed through the Ming army's border line with his butt. It must be that the Ming army generals on a certain line of defense that blocked the four counties in the northern region were bribed, so that they could appear here with a swagger. Otherwise, even if they were blind, they would not be able to let such a convoy cross the blockade line.

"It's true!" He said with a gloomy face. Looking back at the bottom of the slope, more than a thousand cavalrymen had already turned over and horses. As long as he gave the order, he could rush out and snatch the food into his bag.

"General, someone will answer!" Murong Hai shouted lightly. In the direction of Fuyuan, a cavalry of about 200 people was galloping towards him. The target was the grain transport team in the distance, and the grain transport team seemed to see them, waving their flags vigorously.

Tuobayan snorted, turned around and went down to the bottom of the slope, and turned over and dismounted.

"Strike!" he said coldly.

"General, if someone comes from Fuyuan, there will be a conflict." Murong Hai reminded.

"Are you scared?" Tuobayan looked at him squintly.

Murong Hai was blushed by this glance, "I am not afraid of the last general." As soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, he rushed out first. Tuobayan laughed loudly and shook the reins of the horse, "My sons, come on!"

Thousands of cavalrymen walked out from behind the slope and rushed towards the grain transport team.

The sudden appearance of the cavalry obviously frightened the cavalry in the distance. They stopped, and the grain transport team, when they saw the flag of Yan, was a little panicked. Some wanted to turn around and escape, while others wanted to run to the Fuyuan cavalry in the distance, and they were in chaos.

If you want to run, you naturally can't escape. Their car is pulled by a cow, so how can they run over a war horse?

In a blink of an eye, more than a thousand cavalrymen brought this grain transport team like an iron barrel surrounded by an iron barrel.

The drivers who were driving the car hugged their heads squatted beside the car, trembling all over. However, the guy who looked like a shopkeeper who was riding a horse was still very calm, jumped off the horse and stood aside with the horse.

The sound of hooves rumbled in the distance, and the two hundred Fuyuan cavalry finally reacted and rushed over with quick horses. The two armies stood apart several dozen steps apart and confronted each other.
