When the Xianbei people launched an attack on Youzhou, it was when the Bingzhou army and the Youzhou army were fighting fiercely in Liangxiang. Wei Guan and Wang Qi were already in a state of great trouble because of the Bingzhou army's attack, so naturally they had no time to take care of the invasion of the Xianbei people. Therefore, in the first period, the Xianbei people were as if they had entered a no-man's land and successively captured the cities on the northern border of Youzhou.

In fact, the initial attack of the Xianbei people was also tentative. They did not devote all their efforts, but sent a small number of troops to conduct nuisance attacks on the cities and passes on the border of Youzhou.

However, when they attacked the city of Guancheng, they found that most of these cities were empty. Even if there were troops to guard it, there were only a few people. As soon as the Xianbei people launched an attack, the defenders had already fled.

The one who attacked Lu Longshou was Yuwen Mohuai of the Yuwen tribe. He had a close relationship with the Tuoba tribe. Yuwen Mohuai married Tuoba Liwei's daughter, so among the three eastern divisions, the Yuwen tribe was the most responsive to Tuoba Liwei's orders and was also the one who worked the most during the attack.

The first thing Yuwen Mohuai attacked was Lulongsai on the eastern vein of Yanshan Mountain. This was the only way to enter the western Liaoning Plain from outside the border. Originally, Ji Qiu Jian set up a heavy army to defend here. In the past, Yuwen Mohuai also tried to attack Lulongsai, hoping to find a breakthrough here, and then entered the western Liaoning Plain to rob.

However, the terrain of Lulongsai was extremely dangerous and the defenders were extremely tenacious. Although Yuwen Mohuai led a large army to attack and repeatedly attacked, he could not take Lulongsai and eventually he could only return in a defeat.

This time he attacked Lu Longsai again, Yuwen Mohuai was fully prepared. He brought enough warriors in the tribe and prepared all the equipment for siege. This time, he attacked Lu Longsai to fight a tough battle.

The blizzard last winter caused heavy losses to Yuwen's ministry. Nearly half of the cattle and sheep died of starvation. You know, these cattle and sheep are their food rations, and the cattle and sheep in spring are often thin and will only be fat and strong in autumn. Therefore, the lack of food rations puts Yuwen's ministry in a crisis of life and death. This time, the attack on Youzhou was only allowed to succeed, not fail. Once it fails, the entire tribe may really be in a catastrophe.

Whether it was for Tuoba Liwei's life or for the survival of the tribe, Yuwen Mohuai was ready to attack Lu Longsai. They went south along the Rushui River Valley and took Lu Longsai straight to take Lu Longsai.

Lulongsai was built at the highest point in the eastern section of Yanshan. The terrain was very dangerous and the road was rugged. Most of the Xianbei people were cavalry. When they walked here, they could only walk with their horses. It was difficult for war horses to pass through such a steep mountain road.

The advantage of the Xianbei people lies in their cavalry, and these passes become natural barriers to defend them. Any Hu cavalry can only dismount and move without exception. However, the Xianbei people who have no advantage in cavalry will almost be an impossible task to conquer Lulongsai.

Yuwen Mohuai carefully selected the warriors from a thousand clans, let them abandon their horses and go first, and go forward lightly. In the dark, they quietly approached Lu Longsai and launched a sudden attack, which might catch the Wei army off guard.

These selected warriors are agile and have the ability to block ten. They took advantage of the darkness to touch Lu Longsai, but found that Lu Longsai was an empty city.

The general who led the troops was shocked and sweated coldly. His first intuition was that he had been trapped. How could no one be stationed at such an important pass? Could it be that the Wei army's guards deliberately set up an ambush and prepared to capture them all in one fell swoop.

The general led the army quickly ordered the entire army to retreat quickly and prepare for battle. However, when he retreated to the gate, he found that Lu Longsai was still dead silent, and he didn't look like he was ambushing at all.

Logically speaking, if there are ambushes, they will definitely launch an attack the moment the Xianbei people step into the trap. If the Xianbei soldiers retreat and have not yet appeared, then this matter is a bit strange.

When he arrived at the gate, the more he thought about the generals, the more he thought about it, the more he was, Lu Longsei was too quiet, as if he was not even a single person. He hurriedly ordered to stop retreating, full of suspicion, but did not dare to act rashly, so he had to send someone to report to Yuwen Mohuai and report Lu Longsei's situation to him truthfully.

When Yuwen Mohuai heard this news, he felt deeply inexplicable. It was impossible for the Wei army to give up such a dangerous pass like Lu Longsai. Is there anything really wrong with it?

It was the fourth day of the morning, and Lu Long was covered with darkness. Yuwen Mohuai thought about it again and again and decided not to take this risk. He led the main force at the foot of the mountain to wait until dawn before sending someone to check the truth.

After checking, it turned out that there was really no one on Lu Long's gate, which made them wait at the foot of the mountain for half a night in vain. However, Yuwen Mohuai was very happy to be able to easily take Lu Long's gate. This result was too unexpected.

Originally, Yuwen Mohuai spent some time to win Lu Longsei, and even prepared to fight a tough battle, but unexpectedly, Lu Longsei was unprepared and became an empty city.

Yuwen Mohuai was puzzled by what happened to cause this situation. Only after seeing it, he could know what happened.

However, no matter what happened, the result was very beneficial to the Xianbei people. Taking down Lu Longsai would be equivalent to opening the door to Youzhou. This was the result that the Xianbei people dreamed of. Yuwen Mohuai sent someone to inform Tuoba Liwei quickly, and while gathering a team, he rushed towards Lingzhi.

In fact, the Murong tribe and Duan tribe are closer to Lu Longsai, but the Yuwen tribe has always had a feud with them and has been attacking them continuously. Although the three tribes suspended their confrontation with Tuoba Liwei, the grievances between them are far from being resolved.

This time, the troops were sent because other troops were suffering from snow disasters and were facing a situation of life and death, so they temporarily put aside their hatred and sent troops to rob Youzhou together.

But suppressing the opponent is always Yuwen Mohuai's unchanging goal. If this robbery of Youzhou can be successful, then the Yuwen department will definitely benefit a lot, at least it can get rid of the current food shortage. If the two mortal enemies get nothing, Yuwen Mohuai will be even more happy to see it happen, so that they can invisibly weaken their strength and achieve the goal of winning without fighting.

So after easily taking Lu Longshu, Yuwen Mohuai would rather notify his father-in-law who was thousands of miles away than letting his two old enemies make profits.
