"The most troublesome thing is that they have never seen Li Li of Xiliang before, and Li Li can't recognize them. So,, haha, I still need two help!" Looking at Suli and Que Ji at the steps with a smile, Ke Bineng finally showed his fox tail. It turned out that he was waiting here for Suli and Que Ji to take the initiative to take the bait.

The moment Suli and Que Ji heard the sound, both of them were holding a dagger for cutting their flesh in their left hand and a small piece of cooked meat in their right hand, imprisoning them in mid-air. They suddenly looked up at the smiling Ke Bineng, with a dull expression, as if they were dumbfounded.

Just as the atmosphere in the tent was almost frozen, a personal soldier rushed into the tent and said anxiously: "The Han army has set off and is coming to the royal court."

"Hmm? So fast!" Before the personal soldiers finished speaking, Ke Bi Neng pondered, suddenly stood up and walked to the door of the tent, and looked up at the direction of the mountains and forests in the east. He suddenly saw a scene of dust. The heavy rain three days ago did not completely confine the sand. Now tens of thousands of cavalry set out again, and there was still yellow sand in the sky. Not only that, Ke Bi Neng faintly heard the sound of horse hooves in his ears, and his feet were slightly shaking. These signs all indicate that the Han army is not far from the royal court.

"What should come is coming after all!" Seeing this scene, Ke Bien couldn't help but sigh softly. Then he suddenly turned around and walked into the tent and ordered his personal soldiers: "I ordered all troops to defend the city. Without my order, no one will be allowed to leave the city to fight. Those who violate the order - kill!"

"No!" The personal soldiers took the order and left. Suli and Que Ji, who were sitting in the hall, woke up and came back to their senses. They stood up and walked to Ke Bineng, showing a humble look of obedience to the order, but they were actually secretly happy. Fortunately, the Han army took the initiative to attack, otherwise they were very likely to be sent by Ke Bineng to serve as lobbyists. If this is the case, it would be really a disaster. The reason why the Han army appeared here was to chase them. If they took the initiative to deliver them to the door, the result could be imagined. This is how the search for death came.

Perhaps he felt the mood of Suli and Que Ji. Ke Bineng, who was originally solemn, suddenly his face slowed down and a faint smile appeared. But this smile fell into Suli's eyes, which was particularly gloomy and terrifying, causing them to tremble for no reason. His face turned pale, and his two anxious hearts instantly raised to his throat. He glanced at Ke Bineng nervously, but he didn't dare to ask.

Seeing that the two looked different, Ke Bi Neng reached out and put their shoulders in the hall, sat side by side with them, and poured milk wine for them with his own hands. He then raised a cup to signal the two of them to drink together. After drinking, he smiled and said, "The two leaders don't have to be nervous. No matter how brave the Han army is, it is impossible to break through the royal court in a short while. It has been a hundred years since the establishment of our Xianbei royal court. It has never been broken by the Han people during this period, and this is no exception!" When he said this, Ke Bi Neng's expression on his face was quite proud, his eyes were sharp and firm, and he gave people strength invisibly.

As his tone paused, seeing Suli and Que Ji's expressions slowed down, Ke Bineng continued: "I thought the Han army had pursued hundreds of miles in a few days, and the food they carried with them must not be much. As long as it was confirmed that the Han army had insufficient food or had no food, I led the royal army out of the nest and wiped it out in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, according to the scouts, the Han army cooked meat in big pots every day in the mountains and forests, and the fragrance was everywhere, and the delicious fragrance could be smelled more than ten miles away. This shows that the Han army did not lose food, and after the fool Tadun was defeated, he threw hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to the Han army. In this way, the Han army had sufficient food and grass. There were many soldiers and horses, which was definitely not something that the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Xianbei royal court could resist."

As night fell, at the gate of the Han army camp ten miles east of the Xianbei royal court, the infantry participating in the siege returned to the camp one after another. Yan Rou and Qi Zhouzhe Generals, who were ordered to command the siege, rushed to the central army's tent and apologized to the commander Li Li.

That's right, Li Li was in charge of the central army's tent at this time, and Yan Rou was the infantry general who accompanied him. Last night, Li Li led 40,000 infantry to meet with the front army led by Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, and then the army set off for a night before the army set off. In the afternoon, he launched a strong attack on the Xianbei royal court. When Yan Rou and Qi Zhouzhang were ordered to force the 10,000 infantry to attack the city, Li Li led the army to come and set up camp ten miles away from the east gate of the Xianbei royal court.

In fact, if it weren't for the 30,000 cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun who were eager to fight and had poor food and food, they could have avoided the Xianbei royal court and penetrated through the mountains and forests in the east without disturbing the Xianbei people. Then they marched eastward and rushed directly to Liucheng, the old nest of Wuhuan. Little did they know that it was because they were eager to kill the enemy and marched in the rain for days, and they followed the Tadun defeated army all the way without thinking. Unconsciously, Tadun took a circle around and alarmed the Xianbei in the central part of the west. Coincidentally, the Han army appeared less than a hundred miles away from the Xianbei royal court, which happened to be the rear of the royal court, which invisibly posed a huge threat to the Xianbei royal court. The most amazing thing is that the Han army was still stationed in the mountains and forests and did not leave, which was equivalent to telling the Xianbei people clearly: We are here to attack the city. You can't escape.

Many accidental factors are inevitable, which directly triggered this unexpectedly violent conflict. After Li Li's army arrived, they learned about the current situation in detail, and then decided to start a war against the central Xianbei. It is better to meet by chance than to meet. Since the Xianbei royal court is right in front of you, how can you easily miss it? In this way, a battle of siege came into being, which kicked off the prelude to the war between the Western Liang army and the two major barbarian tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei at the same time.

In the central army commander's tent, Li Li, who was in high position, did not accuse Yan Rou and Qi Zhou, and did not punish them too much. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the feint attack turned into a strong attack. This was not because of the command error between the two of them, but because the situation on the battlefield itself. Seeing that the Xianbei people were not good at defending the city, the Han army soldiers easily climbed to the top of the city. Could it be that they had to retreat voluntarily? Therefore, the major casualties caused by the failure to attack this time were not the result of the war, but because the situation was forced to do so.

Waving his hand to signal Yan Rou, Qi Zhou and the other two stood up and sat down. Li Li smiled and said to everyone, "This march is a completely different place! Our army's original intention of attacking was to pursue the remnants of Wuhuan led by Tadun. The army should go east and directly hit the old nest of Wuhuan. Unexpectedly, Tadun was teasing, but instead chased to the west. He broke into the territory of the central Xianbei in a daze, and his troops pointed directly at the Xianbei royal court. This is a coincidence. Anyway, the Xianbei and Wuhuan are our enemies. Since they have encountered each other, they will solve them together. Hahaha!"

After hearing this, everyone in the tent suddenly became interesting and laughed loudly, which invisibly resolved the slightly tense atmosphere in the tent, and also eliminated the fatigue and worries of the generals who marched for several days. A good atmosphere can make people relax and feel comfortable in their body and mind.

While laughing, Zhuge Liang, who was the first in the tent, laughed loudly: "What the lord said is very much. We originally planned to eliminate Wuhuan first, and then march north to the south of the Mo, and attack the Xianbei troops on both sides with the western army led by General Zhang Liao, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop, or drive them to the north of Mo, thousands of miles away. In this way, the counties of Youzhou can be in a long-term stability, and there is no need to worry about the barbarians' attack within ten years. After the counties of Youzhou recover their vitality, they will fight again and again, and fight against Fuyu, Goguryeo, and Dingling in the north. We strive to include all the huge grasslands from Liaodong in the east, Dunhuang in the west, and Dingling in the north into the territory of the Han Dynasty. Such achievements can be recorded in history and benefit all generations!" Within a few words, Zhuge Liang set out a big cake, and the generals in the hall were excited and their blood was boiling.

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this: "Kong Ming is very good to have such ambitions. It is just that many things are easy to know and difficult to do. This is the case when unifying the grassland. The task is heavy and the road is long. We still need to work hard and work harder."

Speaking of this, Li Li paused and the smile on his face retreated. He turned to look at the generals in the hall with a calm expression and said softly: "Half an hour ago, Kebi sent an envoy to ask for peace. He is willing to sign a city alliance with our Xiliang army and clearly expressed his willingness to rely on me. I wonder what you have to think about this?"
