Chapter 661: Ning Yuanyan Army
Ten miles outside Ningyuan City, there are 20,000 left army of Yan State stationed. The commander Murong Kang and the thousand cavalry of Tuobayan only occupy a corner in this camp. In this small camp, Tuobayan is the boss, and he is the only one who can be regarded as a small matter. The fastest update is that Murong Jing is behind him, but in the army, he still has to go step by step. It is not common for him to jump into the commander of a thousand cavalry like him.
In the army, courage and ferocity are indispensable, but resources are more important.
But during this period, Tuobayan became a hot figure in the entire camp because he brought back 20,000 kilograms of food when he went out this time.
For an army of 20,000 people, 20,000 kilograms of food are just a day's food ration, but it is an amazing achievement for the army that has always been able to ask for food.
This Tuobayan has been very popular since he came to the cavalry team, not only because he was sent by Murong Jing himself, but more importantly, this guy seems to be born a blessing general. Other generals sent troops to attack and plunder food in the Ming territory. Even if they gain something, they often pay a considerable price. Some even went out happily and came back in a mess. But as long as he took action, he always won every battle. So far, in the confrontation with the Ming army, the left army of Yan State has drawn eight Ming people, three of which were captured by Tuobayan.
Although these villages have to retreat after being defeated and cannot be defended at all, it is a great thing for the Yan army trapped in the four counties in the north, which means that the Ming army on the opposite side is not impeccable. Although the Yan army was defeated repeatedly by its opponents in the past, as long as it fought, it was not without a chance.
There were even rumors in the army that if Tuobayan had not been in the army for too short and too little money, he would have gone further.
This rumor was even more rumored after Tuobayan brought back 20,000 kilograms of grain. It is said that the news came from Murong Kang, the general of the Left Army. Now not only Murong Jing admires Tuobayan, but also Murong Kang favors him. You must know that when Tuobayan was sent, General Zuo was actually very resistant to the throne.
Murong Jing and Murong Kang both had surnames Murong, but they were two different ways. Murong Kang didn't want Murong Jing to make a fuss on his territory. If it weren't for the handwritten letter from Emperor Murong Hong, Tuobayan would have been driven out of the camp by him.
But now, he has changed his mind and often told people who are close to him that Murong Jing has finally done something right.
For a young and promising general who must be promoted, naturally many people will come to him, so this small camp that only occupied the camp has now become the most lively place in the camp. Every day, military generals come to visit him, of course, in the name of seeking scriptures. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that it is serious to build relationships and make a familiar face. A person who is cared for by several big bosses soars into the sky, which is a matter of time.
As for this today, several officers carried wine and meat and snatched into Tuobayan's tent. When Murong Hai rushed into the tent, Tuobayan's face was flushed and he was a little confused.
"General Tuoba, the general sent someone to come and said at the gate of the camp that the general was summoning you urgently." Murong Hai looked at the drunk Tuobayan and said.
Drinking in the army is a serious crime. But generally speaking, as long as you are not arrested or have no mistakes, Shangguan will turn a blind eye and will not investigate too much. But now General Zuo is urgently summoned, and Tuobayan looks a little embarrassed.
When several officers who were drinking with Tuobayan heard this, they were already scared and sweating. They each made an excuse and ran away without a trace.
Tuobayan seemed to be fine and spat at their backs: "Eggless goods are not reliable at first glance." He stood up staggeringly and put his armor on his body.
"General Tuoba, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to see General Zuo like this. Should I find a way to delay the messenger for a while?" Murong Hai asked Aiya. He really didn't want something to happen to Tuobayan. Although this general was a little more domineering and fierce, he was actually very good to his subordinates. More importantly, he had meat to eat with him.
"Murong Hai, you are such a melon. Do you think the crime of drinking in the army is more serious, or the crime of deceiving the general is more serious?" Tuobayan slapped the knife around her waist and put his hand on Murong Hai's shoulder.
"It goes without saying that of course it is a bit more guilty of deceiving the general." Murong Hai blurted out.
"Isn't that all." Tuobayan walked out of the tent shakingly, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, wiped a few handfuls of it randomly, and the person seemed a little more awake. "You pack up here and wait for me to come back, maybe there is any reward for the general."
Murong Hai grinned and thought to himself that when you look like you, you are afraid that there will be no other rewards, but the board will definitely be rewarded.
"It's really okay?" He was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, there are ten miles from here to the general. I'll walk slowly on the road. When I got there, it's almost done." Tuobayan didn't care at all, walked out of the tent, shouted as the guards led the war horses, and walked outwards. While walking, he wiped his face desperately with snow.
The messenger standing outside the camp gate was Murong Kang's personal soldiers. When he saw Tuobayan, who was flushed and drunk, he couldn't help but be stunned. He wanted to remind this hot guy now, but he didn't expect Tuobayan to ignore him, so he rode his horse and rushed over to him.
This time, this personal soldier was so angry. Good boy, you are so arrogant. I will see you later. If only the general sees you, maybe you will be able to pay attention to your contributions. But today is very different. If you have a noble person coming, where is the military law waiting for you?
Murong Kang did not live in the military camp, and he and his three thousand personal guards were stationed in Ningyuan City.
A few days ago, Tuobayan snatched a batch of grain from Fuyuan County. In fact, it is not accurate to say that the robbery was forced to buy a batch of grain and brought it back. Murong Kang was very happy. The generals under his command were all Taotie, and they only had goods that could only be in and out. However, this guy who ran to his command halfway through the road would always have unexpected actions. Over the past six months, he has made many military achievements. Compared to the Zuo Army's repeated defeats in Zhenyuan, Tuobayan has made some face for himself in front of the emperor.
Twenty thousand kilograms of grain were not the key point, Zuo Jun could eat him cleanly in one day. What’s important is that Tuobayan found a channel for smuggling grain.
Although the Yan army now occupied Ningyuan, in fact, they were still outsiders and did not integrate with the locals. There were also powerful locals. However, His Majesty the Emperor did not allow them to make up for these people. Murong Kang also understood the importance of this. Under the influence of Murong Hong, most of their barbarians read Yueren's books and learned Yueren's way of governing the country better than ordinary barbarians. He was stationed in Ningyuan City, not to seek enjoyment, but to suppress the barbarians, so as not to bully the locals by taking advantage of their power and cause the two to stand in opposition. This was obviously completely inconsistent with the emperor's plan.
But grain has become a fatal problem for them. Hundreds of thousands of barbarians came out of the mountains and gathered in the three counties of Ningyuan, Zhenyuan and Pingyuan. They all need to eat and drink. The mountains were blocked with heavy snow. Even if there was some food in their original nest, it was difficult to transport them out of the mountains. An important source of grain for them now is Fuyuan County.
Everyone knows that Fuyuan County can get food from outside, but for outsiders like Yan people, it is difficult to find these channels for getting food. It is not that they cannot find bold people, but that they find it difficult to gain mutual trust with those opposite people who can get food. Even if they are willing to pay a higher price to trade with each other, they will not find a way for a while.
Tuobayan opened the door.
It was not ordinary people who came to Ningyuan, but imperial teachers, Wanquan.
Murong Kang was very awe of this old man. It was this old man who seemed inconspicuous at all. After returning from outside the mountain with Murong Hong, he gathered the scattered Barbarian tribes little by little. As a follower of Murong Hong, Murong Kang witnessed the skills of this old man with his own eyes, and of course, he was also cruel and ruthless.
When Tuobayan crashed into her head, Murong Kang was boasting to Wanquan that he was rigorous in his military management and that he had made many military achievements. He did not pick up any remains in the distance and did not close his doors at night. The barbarians got along well with the locals. The imperial teacher Wanquan did not speak, but just smiled and nodded.
So when Murong Kang saw Tuobayan's face flushed and drunkenly coming in, he almost didn't breathe a sigh of relief. He only felt that the stars in front of him were slapping them in the face, and his whole face was so hot that it seemed like someone was slapped hard.
It would be fine if there was someone else in front of me, but it was perfect.
He drew his sword and killed Tuobayan.
"The last general, Tuobayan, is summoned to the previous general. What instructions does the general have?" Although he was wiping with snow all the way, Tuobayan's mouth was still a little knotted, and his body was filled with alcohol.
Murong Kang looked at Tuobayan fiercely, and was about to have an attack, but Wanquan, who was on the side, spoke first.
"You are Tuobayan who just got the food? If as Old General Murong Jing said, you are young and talented!"
Wan Quan opened his mouth, and Murong Kang could only shut up, but just cut Tuobayan's body like a knife.
"The last general is exactly, who is this old man?" Tuobayan looked at Murong Kang with his eyes.
"My surname is Wan, not Guan'er." Wan Quan said with a smile. "But I will do some chores in front of His Majesty the Emperor."
