After reading the message, Qu Qiu looked serious.

Wang Shuwang noticed the change in his expression, and was inevitably curious. When he was about to ask, he thought about it and thought: "I have just been ordered here, and this is the first time I met Qu Hujun. Strictly speaking, I am still an outsider, and now I am only an outsider."

He is an honorary officer, even if he is appointed as an assistant to the Jianer camp, he is not yet a formal military official. The governor's letter must be related to military aircraft. That's all, I'd better not ask."

He put away his thoughts of asking, and Yu Qiu didn't regard him as an outsider.

Qu Qiu put away the memorandum and said to Wang Shuwang: "Tuoba Xianbei was defeated at Shuofang."

Wang Shuwang was stunned and asked: "Tuoba Xianbei?"

"yes."

"How could it..., oh! Yes, Zhao Yanli not only asked for help from our country, but also from Tuoba Xianbei?"

Qu Qiu replied: "Yes. Zhao Yanli used his favorite young son as a pledge, and Tuoba Xianbei asked him for his eldest son. In exchange for this, he got Tuoba Xianbei's five thousand reinforcements.

The soldier's name is He Guwan. Have you heard of this man?"

Wang Shuwang didn't know much about Tuoba Xianbei's situation, so he shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

"You know He Gu, right?"

Wang Shuwang was slightly ashamed and said, "I don't know." Guess asked, "Is it a big tribe under Tuoba Xianbei?"

When he asked, he didn't know. Qu Qiu didn't blame Wang Shuwang for this. He just taught him gently and said with a smile: "You used to be among the people, not in the army. Tuoba Xianbei is not bordering our country. It's not surprising that you don't know the inside story of his tribe."

.

"It's just that from now on, you will be a member of our Dingxi Army Lieutenant General. Tuoba Xianbei has been developing very strongly in recent years. I don't know, we will have to deal with them a lot in the future, but you have to deal with them more.

Pay attention.”

Wang Shu looked at him and felt that his words were like a spring breeze. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the royal capital, which reminded him of the scene when he talked with Shen You at Shen You's home.

There are some similarities between them, and I can't help but think to myself: "The so-called mutual sympathy. This is probably the reason why General Fuguo praised Qu Hujun profusely. I heard that Quhujun also respected General Fuguo very much!"

He responded respectfully, "Yes."

Qu Qiu briefly introduced to him the origin of the Hegu clan and said: "The ancestral land of Tuoba Xianbei was not Shengle. They originally lived in the northeastern desert in the Pingcheng area. Two hundred years ago, they migrated south to

In the Hulunbuir Prairie, more than a hundred years ago, they moved south for the second time and then arrived at their current place of residence. It was originally the homeland of the Xiongnu.

"Just before they moved south for the second time, because the tribe's population was getting larger, the then leader Tuoba Lin divided his tribe into seven, and asked his brothers to take charge of each of them. Each of the seven tribes had its own name.

, the Hegu clan is one of them. Later, Tuoba Lin separated the descendants of his uncle and compiled the distant relatives into one clan. Together with the Tuoba clan's own clan, there are ten surnames in total. This is the Tuoba clan.

That’s why the noble caste has ten surnames.”

The power structure of the Tuoba tribe is quite similar to that of Rouran. In other words, for all Hu people who are mainly engaged in nomadic "Xingguo", their internal hierarchy, distance and other components are actually very different.

Rouran is dominated by the main tribe, followed by other tribes, and the third tribe is subordinate to Rouran.

The Tuoba tribe is mainly composed of "Ten surnames", which are similar to Rouran; the second is "Neiru surnames", and now there are seventy-five tribes, which are similar to Rouran; thirdly, it is the tribute paid every year

There are currently about thirty-five tribes in the four directions, that is, thirty-five tribes, and other affiliated tribes of Rouran.

Wang Shuwang said with admiration: "The guards are really knowledgeable!" After a pause, he said, "So, this He Guwan must be a descendant of Chief Tuoba?"

"This person is more than just a clan relative of Chief Tuoba."

"Oh? Shu Wang dares to hear the details."

"Among the lords and generals of the Tuoba tribe, the most famous one is Helan Yannian."

Wang Shuwang said: "This person's name has been heard by me before, saying that he can be compared with Rouran's Wen Shilan." Xiaodi complimented Qu Qiu and said, "Although Wen Shilan is famous in Mobei, he is known as Rouran is a famous general, but in a battle in the Western Sea Desert, he was defeated by the guards and General Fan, and he had to escape. Since Helan Yannian is as famous as Wen Shilan, he is definitely no match for the guards!"

Qu Qiu smiled slightly and said: "In the battle in Xihai County, I won by chance only after Wen Shilan and General Fan fought for a long time and led the fine cavalry to fight. Without General Fan's previous deadly battle, the victory or defeat would still have been lost. It's a matter of time." Speaking of Fan Dan, Qu Qiu said again, "It's unlucky for you to come. General Fan has just returned to the court after receiving an order to take up his new post and take a merit test. You have to arrive a few days in advance, and you can also meet with General Fan. .”

Fan Dan is a member of the clan, and he is completely different from Wang Shuwang. Wang Shuwang showed little interest in seeing him, so he responded: "Yes."

Qu Qiu continued: "Under Helan Yannian, the Tuoba tribe has quite a few generals, and He Guwan is one of them. Compared with Helan Yannian, He Guwan has a somewhat reckless character, but he is very brave. Helan's longevity is within reach. Do you know about the capture of Wei in the north and the attack on Rouran?"

"Know."

"When the Wei army was captured and attacked Rouran, Tuoba Xianbei sent troops to help him. Among the generals who led the troops at that time was He Guwan. The soldiers who captured Wei were divided into two groups. Heguwanshi was on the right and defeated Rouran several times. The troops penetrated thousands of miles and captured tens of thousands. This Hu Zhiyong is not to be underestimated!"

Wang Shuwang understood why Qu Qiu elaborated on He Guwan's reasons, and suddenly became worried and said: "As the guards said, how could He Guwan be so brave and defeated in Shuofang? Meng Lang, Gou Xiong How can we fight like this? What about our army rushing to support Shuofang?"

Qu Lan, the commander-in-chief of the Dingxi Army who rushed to aid Shuofang, was the eldest son of Qu Shuo. Qu Qiu was the grandson of Qu Shuo, and his grandson was the grandson of his brother. In other words, Qu Qiu's grandfather and Qu Shuo were brothers from the same birth. Qu Qiu His father is the son of Qu Shuo, and he and Qu Lan are brothers from his father.

The blood relationship between qu orchid and qu ball is very close.

In Dingxi Kingdom, although Qu Lan has a reputation as a soldier and is considered one of the famous generals in Dingxi, but listening to Qu Qiu's introduction to He Guwan just now, I am afraid that he is still not as good as He in terms of combat prowess. Gu Wan. He Gu Wan commanded five thousand troops, but they were all defeated by Meng Lang and Gou Xiong. Qu Lan, whose combat power is probably not as good as He Gu Wan and has fewer soldiers and horses than He Gu Wan, might be Meng Lang and Gou Xiong. rival?

It's no wonder that after reading the military report from the governor's office, Qu Qiu's expression immediately became serious.

Qu Qiu was not only telling Wang Shuwang the situation of He Guwan and others, but also using it to analyze the battle situation in Shuofang's mind. At this time, he had already made a preliminary judgment and said: "The military newspaper said that He Guwan was crossing the river. At that time, he thought his whereabouts were secret, so he relaxed his guard, and was ambushed by Gou Xiong. This was his negligence, and it can be said that he was asking for a defeat.

"As long as our army rushing to support Shuofang is cautious and never wastes fighting, there is nothing that even Gou Xiong can do about Meng Lang."

If that is the case, will Qu Lan be cautious?
