The siege battle finally kicked off.

On the battlefield of the North Gate, the shouts of killing were shocking the earth, the sound of ox horns rushed to the sky, the long arrows roared in the sky, the swords flashed on the city wall, and the cavalry formations rushed back and forth under the city, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun. From a distance, there was thick smoke on the wall of Macheng City, people's heads were rushing, and fierce battle was in full swing.

On the battlefield of the South Gate, two cavalry were fighting fiercely. The sound of oxen horns representing various signals came one after another, endlessly, and colorful battle flags fluttered in the wind, moving back and forth. The neighing of war horses, the rushing sounds from far to near like thunder, the fanatical shouts of soldiers, and the collision of various weapons filled the entire battlefield.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and both sides withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.

Then the scouts of the Tuoba people searched for any scouts they met within a radius of ten miles like madmen, and were merciless in their attacks, as if they wanted to cut off all connections between the Han people and the outside world and slaughter the city to the death.

Macheng County Magistrate Liu Tao rushed to Gaoliucheng and reported the military information to Liu Hui, the prefect of Dai County. After Liu Hui learned about it, he was very angry and scolded Li Hong for being incompetent and refused to send troops and grain. Shi Xianyu Yin, the military officer, came to ask for help for several days, but was rejected by Liu Hui.

When Huwuwan's captain Ji Chou heard the news, he was very excited and immediately rushed to Guangning City to attack the troops of Tituo, the troops of the Wuwan people. Now on the right side of Tituo, Tuoba Feng's troops suddenly sent troops to attack Macheng again, and the Black-ling King on the left would not support him at all. With no protection on both left and right wings, he had to bear the fierce attack from the Han army alone.

In mid-June, the Xianbei king and company followed the convention and left the Danhan Mountain to inspect the Xianbei tribes in the west. The first stop was the Qiuyi tribe. The Qiuyi tribe suddenly rebelled, and the tribal cavalry besieged the Helian cavalry and fought against each other. The Helian troops gradually could not resist. Just when they were facing a critical moment of collapse, Tuoba Tao's cavalry suddenly appeared, and five thousand troops entered the battlefield and successfully rescued Helian. Tuoba Tao then led his troops to escort Helian and quickly moved closer to the territory of the Tuoba tribe.

In Youyunyuan, Tuoba Tao's troops were intercepted by the army of the Wild Wolf Tribe and the Fengxi Tribe. Tuoba Tao led his troops to break through forcibly and were repelled several times. Soon the cavalry of the Qiuyi Tribe chased them. The troops of the three tribes immediately surrounded them. Just as they were about to launch a strong attack, they were attacked by a night of 10,000 Tuoba Feng's army. The eight thousand troops of the tribal coalition were almost wiped out.

Almost at the same time, the Red Sun Tribe landed in the land of the Chouluo, the Wild Wolf Tribe's Yan Liyou, and the Kuangsha Tribe's Ridge Deduction each led the tribe army, united more than 2,000 large and small tribes in the western Xianbei, gathered 30,000 troops, and suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the Tuoba Tribe.

The commander of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Hui, led his troops to fight back and retreat.

Haoshuai Tuoba Wei urgently summoned more than a thousand tribes, gathered 10,000 people in the tiger and wolf pastures, set up a decisive battle formation, and vowed to fight to the death.

After the Youyunyuan War, Helian and Tuoba Feng worked tirelessly and led his troops to Hulang Grassland to participate in the decisive battle.

The civil war in the Xianbei in the West broke out in full swing.

At this time, the battle in Macheng was in full swing, and the battle between the two sides was in a stalemate and the battle was extremely fierce.

At this time, Murong Feng, who had been hiding behind the scenes, finally couldn't help but walk to the front desk. He suspected that Tuoba Feng had a backup in his hands and his intelligence must be inaccurate. If both sides continued to fight, it would be of no benefit to anyone and would be a huge loss to the Xianbei Kingdom. This was not the result Murong Feng wanted, nor was the purpose of this rebellion.

He stood up decisively and mediated.

After Murong Feng's multi-party consultation and persuasion, He Lian finally compromised in front of Murong Feng and the powerful forces of Luozhi Claruo. He agreed to a compromise plan for a peaceful solution to the matter.

The Xianbei in the west was divided into two. Two-thirds of the northern territory was still the Xianbei tribe in the west, and one-third of the southern territory was divided, and another Xianbei tribe was established. The Xianbei tribe in the west was established to establish the Xianbei tribe in the west, and Tuoba Feng in the north. Since then, the position of the seniors of each tribe can be inherited. If there are no special circumstances, Danhanshan no longer has the right to assign candidates.

The power of the Danhanshan royal court was devastatingly attacked under Murong Feng's careful planning. The Xianbei Kingdom had no real national situation, it was a loose tribal alliance. The Xianbei King was just a nominal ruler. If the tribes listened to him, he would be the king. If they didn't listen to him, he would be an ordinary tribal leader.

When Tan Shihuai was alive, the tribal alliance of the Xianbei Kingdom was the most solid and unified, and the king had great power. After Tan Shihuai died, although Helian was not in good condition, it could barely maintain it. Now that Murong Feng has changed this way, it is impossible for Danhanshan Wangting to barely maintain the status quo.

Murong Feng and Luozhi Cailuo were both overlords, with huge power and heavy troops in their hands. Now they openly united to force Helian to divide the Xianbei tribes, and their behavior of trampling on the royal power has reached its extreme. What is particularly important is that the position of Xianbei tribes can be inherited, which is equivalent to telling Tanhanshan that the internal affairs of the four Xianbei tribes are no longer determined by the Danhanshan royal court, and this place belongs to our four families. In any part of the Xianbei tribes, the power, the territory they control, and the number of troops are all

It is far greater than the royal court of Tanhanshan. Now Murong Feng and Luo were in the Luluo, and the temporary alliance formed by the Xianbei people in the eastern region was no longer controlled by no one to control it. In this case, if He Lian wanted to continue to do this king comfortably, the best way was to compromise, rely on Tuoba Feng, who only supported him, to compromise with conditions. Everyone had a falling out and fought a battle, at most Xianbei fell apart, and there was no loss for several large tribal alliances, but for He Lian and Tanhanshan, it was the end of destruction.

He Lian finally knew that Murong Feng was so powerful.

Murong Feng was in the Xianbei area, and no one could deal with him except Tan Shihuai.

After the negotiations on the Hulang Grassland began, the battle in Macheng stopped, but the Tuoba people had no intention of withdrawing troops and still surrounded Macheng like an iron barrel.

Li Hong lay on the grass, smelling the fragrance of grass, feeling the breath of soil, and feeling the tranquility in his heart.

"Sir, there is a man named Tuoba He who wants to see you."

Li Hong immediately laughed. Tuoba He could return to Macheng safely, proving that the internal strife of the Xianbei was over. For the Han Dynasty, the people of the northern border counties would probably have a safe life for several years.

He turned over and sat up, looked at the cavalrymen who were practicing formations on the grass, and shouted excitedly: "Look, look, their formation has turned."

Tie Yue didn't even raise his eyelids and said disdainfully: "I have been practicing for more than 20 days and can't turn it up again. Let's go back to be an infantryman."

Li Hong shook his head, stood up, and said with a smile: "You have grown up on horseback since you were young, so of course you don't know how difficult it is to change from infantry to cavalry. Fortunately, the hard work over twenty days has finally achieved some results."

Tuoba He has a shaved beard and looks dull.

"Hello, sir. Have you worked hard recently?" Tuoba He came up and asked with a smile.

While dismounting, Li Hong replied with a smile: "Train troops to train every day, you are really good at gunpoint. Do you think you are tired? Your troops are working hard at the North City Gate. They fight from morning to afternoon every day. I guess the soldiers will cry, right?"

Tuoba He laughed, "We have gained something. Next time we attack Macheng, we will probably be able to take it in one day."

"Don't blow anymore." Li Hong couldn't help laughing, and reached out and punched him gently, "One day? You dream."

The two walked side by side on the grass like old friends, chatting and smiling.

"So, the biggest winner of this Xianbei civil strife is the adults of the four Xianbei tribes." Li Hong said casually after hearing Tuoba He's introduction.

"I think only Murong Feng is the winner. Although Murong Feng intends to solve the Tuoba tribe and Helian King together, unfortunately he overestimated himself. He was a chess game and did not expect that Tuoba Taohao's troops had been quietly ambushing near the Qiuyi tribe. If Helian is not dead, he has no excuse to establish a king, nor has he reason to destroy us."

"What you mean is that if He Lian dies, he will blame Tuoba Feng?"

"The Qiuyi tribe was originally dependent on us, but this time he told Murong Feng to surrender to him. He Lian was killed by the Qiuyi tribe, and all tribes could attack the Tuoba tribe in the name of avenging the king and Lian. So after we got the news, in order to keep it secret, He Lian did not disclose it, and directly pulled the team to the Qiuyi tribe. Speaking of which, our amazing soldier is the first hero who saved He Lian and Tuoba tribe this time."

"Then you must have been promoted?" Li Hong asked happily.

"I am now the youngest handsome man in the Tuoba tribe." Tuoba He said excitedly.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations to you. He is more glorious than in the past. The power can be inherited forever. In fact, he is now the king of the Xianbei in the north."

Tuoba He nodded.

"I guess Murong Feng would never think that we would form an alliance to deal with him together."

Li Hong smiled and shook his head repeatedly, "Don't think so, never want to. Helian is an example. He thought his scheming was the most powerful of the Xianbei people, and he plotted against the commander in every way. Now look, Helian was almost killed by Murong Feng."

Li Hong stopped and solemnly said to Tuoba He: "We are friends, so I will give you a piece of advice. In Xianbei, it is best to be Murong Feng's friend and never be his enemy. If he is his enemy, he will die very quickly."

Tuoba He smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

"The general will immediately guess a little bit when he sees Tuoba Tao. It is a joke to say that you can escape from the fire and deceive ordinary people. What's more, tens of thousands of troops participated in this matter, so it won't take long to hide it."

"You are the direct executor of the matter. Will you be implicated?" Tuoba He asked worriedly.

"No. Although there are many doubts about this matter, both sides are enemies and there is no real evidence. I can justify myself. Of course, if I burn you down, I will still have to bear this crime of dereliction of duty." Li Hong smiled.

Tuoba He knew that he was amazing and could definitely handle this little thing, so he no longer cared about it.

"The adults sent me here, one to convey the order to retreat, and the other to let me thank you on his behalf, that the hatred between us in the past was eliminated."

Li Hong shook his head with emotion. How could hatred be eliminated in one fell swoop? I am afraid that the knot will become deeper and deeper in the future.

"If you have any more requests, I can convey them for you."

"Yes." Li Hong said hurriedly, "I need food, supplies, and I need to pay military salaries to the soldiers. I have put all your people back, but what about what Tuoba Feng gave us? You can't take all the advantage."

Tuoba He smiled and said, "It has been arranged. According to the agreed quantity, I brought all the high-quality fur, silk cloth and some valuable gold and silver items this time. I sent someone to deliver it at night. As for cattle, sheep and other livestock, the goal is too big. Last time I promised not to provide it. Do you have nothing to eat?"

Li Hong nodded and said helplessly: "Then I'll send someone to your camp to grab some tomorrow."

"We will come in the afternoon. We will withdraw our troops tomorrow. In addition, let's say goodbye to you. We will meet again if we have the chance in the future."

Li Hong nodded and said with a smile: "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will invite you to drink."

Looking at Tuoba He's gradually disappearing back, Li Hong felt a little disappointed.

"This kid is so lucky. You haven't killed him in Sangqian River. Now he is here to be a handsome guy." Tie Yue snorted dissatisfied and said in a low voice.

"Sir, what are you still watching?" Tie Yue saw Li Hong standing there, without any movement for a long time, and hurriedly came up and asked in a low voice.

"I'm thinking, will I have a chance to invite him to drink?" Li Hong said.

Tie Yue laughed and said casually: "It's probably difficult? These Xianbei people talk about the great Han Dynasty every day, and always think about occupying a few places. There are some fighting, but is it wine? I guess they don't have the chance to drink."

Li Hong shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Go and call Zheng Junhou, and say I have something to do to find him."

The Xianbei army withdrew. The horse farm immediately returned to its former tranquility.

Li Hong sent people to Gaoliucheng, the county seat of Dai County, to report the victory, and asked Macheng County Magistrate Liu Tao to bring people back quickly because his troops would soon return to Zhuolu.

The army's barracks were always outside the south city gate and were ready to drive out at any time. Li Hong sat alone in the tent and thought about it for a long time, and then walked into the camp of Qinweitun.

Two treasury commanders hurriedly took him into the tent. These two treasury commanders turned out to be centuries in the cavalry unit of the Wild Wolf Tribe. Although they were not old, the Hu people were soldiers on horseback. They were already many years old and had very old qualifications.

The tall and burly man with long face and short beards on his face, and a fierce look is called Hu Ding. The tall and strong, handsome face has a pair of big spiritual eyes, and the taciturn young man is called Qi Chen.

Li Hong told the two to sit down, chatted casually for a few words, and briefly explained the events that happened to the Xianbei.

"I guess there will be fewer border conflicts in recent years and there is not much possibility of war. So I thought about it for a long time and thought it would be better to let you go. You are not familiar with the place in the Han Dynasty. Once I have an accident or die, it will be hard to tell what you have happened."

Hu Ding and Qi Chen looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

"What sir means is that we want us to return to Xianbei?" Hu Ding asked.

Li Hong nodded, "Yes. If you are all like me, alone and without worries, and die anywhere, of course it doesn't matter. But if you have a mother and relatives at home, you always care about it, and staying here is a pain. There is no war on the border, you all go back."

Hu Ding and Qi Chen were greatly moved and lay down on the ground together, kowtowing Li Hong to thank him.

Li Hong hurriedly helped them up and said with a smile: "I used to be a slave and know everything. If you want to go back, go back. If you don't want to go back, be with me. Everyone is like brothers, and they share the difficulties and blessings. There are also wounded soldiers, and those who want to go back will take them away."

The next day, Hu Ding and Qi Chen sent away more than 100 people. Tian Zhong arranged for the guard to provide them with horses and food, and let them leave.

When Li Hong saw that most of the people were left behind, his heart felt warm and his eyes were a little wet. Those who were left were slaves from the tribe. To put it bluntly, they were all alone and alone. They were all soldiers captured when the tribes fought each other, and their families were all dead in the war. Who wouldn’t come back if they had a family? There was no family.

In the evening, Li Hong stayed in Qinwei Tun and had a meal with Xianbei soldiers. Everyone was joking around.

"Do you know what impressed me the most after I returned to the Han Kingdom?"

No one knew. Everyone looked at him and listened to him continue.

"It's Lu Longsai's rice. The first time I ate two big bowls in one go, two big bowls. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

Tian Chong looked at Li Hong's exaggerated expression and his idiotic appearance. He couldn't help laughing loudly, and the food in his mouth squirted all over the ground.

Tie Yue also thought Li Hong was too exaggerated, so he followed Tian Chong and laughed.

The Xianbei people are very strange. Although they have never eaten it, they believe that it must be delicious when they see Li Hong. But why do the other two adults laugh so hard?

Li Hong looked at Tian Chong and shook his head in confusion.

At this time, Zheng Xin hurriedly ran in.

"Sir, someone from the Wuye Tribe asked for a visit."

Li Hong's heart suddenly sank.
