Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1168
Chapter 1168 Cooperative life and death enemies
Northern Xinjiang is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital. Although the news from the Anbu Department was passed quickly, when Li Xin received the news from the Northern Xinjiang, it had actually been five or six days in the north.
Now the war in northern Xinjiang is not only related to the peace of the border and the future situation of Dajin and Xianbei, but also closely related to the next trend of the situation in the capital. At this time, every move in the north will be seen by the whole world .
At least it will be seen by the people of the Southwest family.
It’s just that although the fight has already started in the north, it is far from fierce. The reason is that at the beginning of April, the Helan Division of the Xianbei Division occupied two horse farms in the king’s tent. Although the king’s tent was weak, it was thin. The dead camel was bigger than a horse, and the youth was missing but the skeleton was still there. The two sides immediately clashed, and two or three hundred people died in a few days.
Originally, the two sides exercised restraint on this matter, which made it a minor matter. After Yu Wentao of the Helan clan became the patriarch for two years, the Helan clan went smoothly, and he also got his wish and became the most powerful among the Xianbei clans. Patriarch, the mentality is naturally not the same as before.
When he was last year, he asked other Xianbei tribes for beautiful women to enrich the harem. In addition to the royal tent, each of the other two films contributed ten girls to him. The young people who kept horses in the field became more and more arrogant.
In this collision, the Helan Department and the Wang tent were both damaged, but Yuwentao was right and sent a large-scale army to seize the two horse farms. Because the two racecourses fought fiercely, two or three thousand people died in just four or five days.
At this time, Yuwenzhao had long since passed away. Yuwendi, who was in charge of the king’s tent, immediately sent someone to send a letter to Jimen Pass. Ye Mao was also very generous. After receiving the letter, he sent 10,000 people out of the pass. The troops disguised as the king’s tent, under attack from both sides, defeated the Helan army, with more than 5,000 casualties.
However, the casualties of this scale are obviously far from what the court expected before, so this is just the beginning of the Northern Xinjiang War.
In Jizhou City, Ye Guogong, who was only wearing a black robe, was half lying lazily in his yard. In front of him, a young Xianbei man stood respectfully with his hands down.
This young man is Yuwenzhao’s youngest son Yuwenhu. This time he is mainly responsible for the connection between the king’s account and the Dajin court. He lived in Jing’an Hou’s mansion for a while when he was a new year, and now he has returned to northern Xinjiang. Mainly responsible for liaising with Ye Mao in Jizhou city.
However, the second son of King Yuwen was quite humble in front of Ye Mao at this time, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly: “Master Ye, the Helan Department has been re-assembling troops, and will soon attack my king’s tent, you How did the 10,000 people who were sent out of the pass have been withdrawn?”
Ye Mao sat up from the reclining chair, first stretched his waist, then glanced at Yu Wenhu, and said lightly: “We agreed earlier, when your king’s tent and Helan’s troops are in a decisive battle, my army will be in charge of the North. Only looking for an opportunity to make a move, but last time, your king tent came to Jizhou for help because of two horse farms and a small matter of a few hundred people fighting. At this time, you would have been very suspicious, whether your king tent has attacked Helan’s subordinates. thought.”
He said coldly: “Do you want to destroy the Helan Division, or do you want to protect yourself by taking the name of my Great Jin?”
Yu Wenhu’s face was a little pale, he lowered his head and said: “Master Ye, at that time my department thought that a fight was really going to start, but I didn’t expect Helan’s department to stop…”
“But they suffered a loss last time. With Yuwentao’s character, this time they will never give up. There are about 100,000 young men in the Helan Department. If the general does not send troops, my king’s tent will be in danger!”
Having said this, he gritted his teeth and said, “General, please be clear, my king’s tent and Helan’s division belong to the Xianbei division, and even have the surname Yuwen. If the general does not intervene, our two families will not be killed together. The tent can no longer be supported, and I will definitely surrender to the Helan clan, and then the Xianbei clan will be integrated again…”
“If you think about this situation, Ye Guogong doesn’t want to see it.”
Ye Mao sneered: “Your king’s account is called Northern Zhou’s direct line, will you be willing to bow your head to Helan’s department?”
“There is no way to be reconciled.”
Yu Wenhu smiled bitterly: “Dignity is always less important than life.”
“Master Ye, I asked to see Governor Li in the capital a few months ago. The Governor has already agreed to let the Zhenbei Army cooperate with our department. You can’t ignore my department!”
Hearing Yu Wenhu mentioning Li Xin, Ye Mao seemed to be a little unhappy, he snorted: “Since the court has already given orders, I will obey, if you really fight, my Zhenbei Army will of course. Send troops to help, but if it is still a small fight, our army will send troops, and the Helan Department will be alert, and the next time you want to find an opportunity, it will be extremely difficult.”
Yuwenhu smiled wryly and bowed to Ye Mao: “General, if my king’s tent can’t resist this time, in the face of life and death, he can only bow his head and surrender. Then you don’t blame my department.”
After saying that, Yu Wenhu bowed to Ye Mao and said goodbye.
After Yu Wenhu left, after a while, a middle-aged man with a lot of white hair pushed the door and walked out of the room. Before he walked to Ye Mao, Ye Mao, who was still lazy, immediately walked out. He stood up and said respectfully, “Fourth Uncle.”
This middle-aged man was naturally Ye Lin, the Minister of War, who had traveled all the way north from the capital. After he arrived in the northern Xinjiang, he was not very concerned about the situation here, so he stayed in Jizhou and helped his eldest nephew organize military affairs.
Ye Lin waved his hand at Ye Mao, indicating that he should not be too polite, and then frowned slightly: “In the world, the people who hate our Ye family the most should be the descendants of these Xianbei kings’ tents, because their father single-handedly took care of them all. Ruined, these people desperately broke the Jimen Pass in the past two years, and almost wiped out the Zhenbei Army regardless of the cost, also because of this hatred back then.”
“Now my Ye family has a deadly feud with them, and I don’t know what the imperial court thinks, but let the Zhenbei Army cooperate with the Xianbei king’s tent.”
Ye Mao stood behind Ye Lin and said with a smile: “Now the meaning of the imperial court is what Li Shishu means. Li Shishu will not harm our family. We will do as he means.”
“As for the personal enmity between our family and the Xianbei people, we can put it aside for the time being.”
The three generations of the Ye family belonged to the kind of relatively pure soldiers.
Besides, Li Xin had already explained to Ye Mao the arrangements for the Xianbei people in his heart, but the matter was secret, so Ye Mao did not mention it to his uncle.
Ye Lin nodded and sighed silently: “Now that the Zhenbei Army has recovered seven to eighty-eight, Wei Wei still has the post of Minister of War, and Chang’an has written many letters to urge me to go back to the capital. I can’t stay in Jizhou City any longer.”
“Tomorrow I’ll go back to the capital, and by the way, I’ll help you see what the capital looks like now.”
“The matter of Zhenbei Army will be entrusted to you.”
Ye Mao smiled honestly: “Fourth uncle, don’t worry, there is no problem here, nephew can handle it alone.”
“After the fourth uncle returned to Beijing, please look at some of my family members, don’t let them cause trouble.”
Ye Lin reached out and patted his eldest nephew on the shoulder, sighing slightly.
“You can be on your own now, I’m naturally relieved, but your status is different now, there is a word, I want to tell you.”
Ye Guogong had a serious face, bowed his head and said, “Uncle taught me.”
“Now you are the general of Zhenbei, the Chen Guogong of our Ye family, and you are no longer the old Ye Mao.”
Ye Shangshu’s voice was low.
“In the future, you will no longer be able to come to the army before the time of life and death. No matter what the war is, your life is the most important thing.”
“If you live well in the north, the Duke Chen’s residence in the capital will have a foundation.”
