From eunuch to emperor

Jing Tianlie's Red Flame Army was finally resolved, leaving only the barbarians in the northern border.

In Yanmenguan Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Man spread out a map, Di Lingyi pointed to the mark on the map and said: "This is Yanmenguan, 500 miles to the north is Wuli Mountain, after passing Wuli Mountain, about 50 miles to the north is Ahe Well, Yeluhong's dental tent is here."

Di Lingyi fought against the barbarians at Yanmen Pass and collected a lot of information, the map being the most basic.

In addition to the cavalry survey and mapping of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the most important source of this map is the cavalry of the Tianxiahui.

The world will not be monolithic, Di Lingyi spent money to buy a lot of information.

"You raided the barbarians last night, and Yeluhong led the troops to flee northward. I don't know where they are now."

"I sent cavalry out to investigate, but they haven't returned yet."

After Di Lingyi finished speaking, Long Chen carefully looked at the map.

The base camp of the barbarians is in Ahebo, and the Wuli Mountain in the south runs from east to west, like a barrier.

The southwest of Ahebo is connected to Xixia, and it is relatively barren. In summer, the water and grass are abundant in the east, which is the territory of the Dan people.

"Akhbo is now where Shanyu Yazhang is. Once the war starts, they can leave at any time."

The barbarians live by water and grass, and drive cattle and sheep around, unlike the Central Plains people who want to guard land and cities.

This is also the most troublesome place. The barbarians have no cities, so they have to find talents if they want to fight decisively.

"Yes, when Jingfeng was here, we jointly raided several times, but the effect was not great. When we got there, they ran away. When we came back, they harassed them again, and even quietly detoured Xixia, entering Dazhou territory from the west to plunder."

Di Lingyi's garrison at Yanmen Pass was not a passive defense, but he also took the initiative to attack, but he couldn't find anyone.

"Have the barbarians suffered a lot before?"

Long Chen asked.

Di Lingyi was a little embarrassed, and said, "Our biggest harvest was only over 3000, which is not as good as you."

The raid last night killed [-] people and captured [-] people, which is more than what Di Lingyi had achieved in the past few years.

"What's Yeluhong's personality like?"

"You must be retaliated against. Yeluhong will retaliate every time we raid."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "Then he will definitely counterattack!"

Zhang Man was very worried and asked, "Then shall we prepare to meet the enemy immediately?"

Long Chen nodded and said: "Get ready, set up the bed crossbow and god arm bow, and prepare for the battle."

Long Chen brought the Bed Crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow over, and Linglong Pavilion also sent some over.

Zhang Man went to make arrangements immediately.

"But...I have to do something else first..."

Long Chen thought about it, and must add some ingredients.

"What trick do you have?"

Di Lingyi was very curious about what Long Chen was thinking.

In just two days, Long Chen defeated the barbarians, disintegrated the Red Flame Army, and beheaded Jing Tianlie. Emperor Lingyi admired him very much.

"What is a trick, this is called a strategy."

"Where are the barbarian captives?"

"In the back cell."

"You are like this..."

After Long Chen ordered, Di Lingyi nodded and said: "Good idea, I'll arrange it!"

Yanmenguan Prison.

More than 3000 barbarian captives were held in several cells, guarded by the Da Zhou army outside.

"Brothers, change of guard!"

Several Dazhou soldiers came over wearily, and the soldier on duty asked, "What's the matter with you?"

The soldiers who were changing guard complained: "Jing Tianlie is too fierce. The Red Flame Army fought to the death. We suffered heavy casualties, more than 4 people died."

The soldier on duty exclaimed: "Then how many brothers do we have left?"

The changing guard sighed: "It's less than [-]. The princess sent someone back to the capital to ask for help. I'm afraid the barbarians will retaliate."

The soldier on duty sighed again and again: "Why didn't this dog thief go to fight with the barbarians, but came to fight us desperately?"

After the soldier scolded Jing Tianlie, he handed over his post and went out.

The new soldier on duty sat down, leaned against the wall and fell asleep exhaustedly.

In the prison cell, a man with a big face and round waist looked at the key on the soldier and motioned to the barbarians next to him to do it.

After searching on the ground for a long time, I found a piece of wood, hooked the key slowly, and then gently opened the copper lock.

The man crept out of the cell door, followed by dozens of barbarian soldiers, sneaked out of the cell, stole the horse in the yard, opened the small door, and ran all the way north.

Just after running a few hundred meters, the cavalry of the Great Zhou came after them and shouted: "The barbarians have escaped, kill them!"

A burst of arrows shot from behind, many barbarian soldiers were shot to death, and the rest fled in a panic.

On the wall of Yanmen Pass, Long Chen looked at the fleeing barbarian soldiers and said, "I hope Yeluhong is not a coward!"

Di Lingyi said: "The barbarians are not weak in battle. You were able to kill so many last time because you were caught off guard."

Long Chen said: "I know, so we have to get ready!"

In the Battle of White Wolf Mountain, Long Chen had fought against the barbarians, and he knew how powerful the barbarians were.

Di Lingyi nodded, and personally inspected and deployed the defenses.

Long Chen arrived at the south of Yanmen Pass, where there are still more than 1 surrendered Red Flame Army.

Some of the [-] Red Flame Army surrendered, and some fled back home over the mountains.

Wu Xiangyun was in charge of sending someone to guard him, and when he saw Long Chen approaching, he hurried to see him.

Standing on a high place, Long Chen shouted to the Red Flame Army below: "Jing Tianlie is dead, the body has been transported back to the capital, and there will be no Red Flame Army from now on."

"From today onwards, you are the people of Dazhou. Don't blame the past. I have written a letter to the Holy Lord. The government will not investigate your old accounts."

"Now, you all line up, and everyone collects travel expenses and goes home!"

The Red Flame Army thought that Long Chen would let them commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and stay at Yanmen Pass as a vanguard to die, but they didn't expect to go back like this.

"General Xie Long!"

The Red Flame Army is very grateful.

Long Chen asked Wu Xiangyun to send money, one hundred coins to each of them, and ten doughnuts, and let them go back by themselves.

More than 1 Red Flame Army were disbanded on the spot.

Long Chen thought about including them, but finally gave up.

These people belong to the defeated army, they have no fighting spirit, and they don't want to fight. Forcibly joining the team will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the Long family army.

Putting it back can also cultivate land to produce food, which has a greater effect on Dazhou.

Back at the commander-in-chief's mansion, Long Chen continued to study the map, thinking about how to completely pacify the northern border.

After the barbarian deserters came out of Yanmen Pass, they rode horses all the way to the southern foot of Wuli Mountain. When they saw the barbarian army, they felt relieved.

Seeing the barbarian army, the man with a big face and round waist rolled off his horse excitedly, and the barbarian soldiers hurried over to help him up.

"Patriarch Zhuo Lie, Patriarch Zhuo Lie is back!"

The barbarian soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that the patriarch of the Supu tribe had fled back.

Yeluhong was discussing the matter in the tooth tent, when the barbarian soldiers rushed into the tooth tent and said: "Chan Yu, Patriarch Zhuo Lie is back!"

Yeluhong was overjoyed when he heard that, and said, "Bring him in!"

Soon, Zhuo Lie was helped into the dental tent, Yeluhong sat on the head, and beside him sat a man wearing a wolf fur coat, this person was the general of the Dan tribe, Ke Eler; at the bottom was an old man with gray hair , this person is the barbarian wise man Abuji; there is a young man on the opposite side, this person is Prince Yeluguang.

"Shan Yu!"

Zhuo Lie lay on the ground, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe.

"Zhao Lie, how did you come back?"

Yeluhong asked.

The other three also looked at Zhuo Lie.
