Yu Wentao, the patriarch of the Helan tribe, was once forced by his uncle to go to the horse farm to raise horses. Later, with the help of Li Xin, he was able to return to the clan and inherit the position of the patriarch.

At that time, he had some verbal agreements with Li Xin, such as the Helan tribe who had a good relationship with the Central Plains court in the future and accepted the title of the Central Plains court, so that they would not invade the borders of the Central Plains court. At the same time, Li Xin also promised Yuwen Zhao that the Central Plains court could trade with the Helan tribe, so that they could exchange fur and jerky beef and mutton for some grain, rice, oil and salt, so that they would not go hungry in winter.

Originally, if Yu Wentao had been more at peace, and with the cooperation with the Jin court and the agreement with Li Xin, the Helan tribe would have been the most prosperous tribe among the Yuwen tribes, but unfortunately, not every Xianbei person was Yuwen Zhao.

First of all, Yu Wentao has no ability, otherwise he would not have been rushed to the horse farm by his uncle. After becoming the patriarch, his nature gradually became revealed. He was not only lustful, but also very cruel and arrogant.

After his uncle Yuwen was exposed to death, he killed all his uncle's sons, occupied all his aunt and two cousins, and became the woman in his tent. At the same time, he used the power of the Helan tribe to bully the surrounding tribes and even provoked the king's tent, so that the Yuwen tribes in the north were full of conflicts.

Especially after Yuwen Zhao died.

When Yuwen Zhao was alive, Yuwen Tao was somewhat afraid of the King of Yuwen who had been the common ruler of the Xianbei people. However, after Yuwen Zhao passed away, the actions of the Helan tribe became more and more presumptuous. Not only did he occupy the horse farm of the king's tent, but both sides also fought for this.

After the first collision, the Horan tribe encountered a "siege" of the king's tent and suffered some losses. Yu Wentao, who had expanded to a certain extent, was furious and directly transferred 20,000 young and strong men from the Horan tribe and advanced towards the king's tent.

When Yuwen Zhao unified the Xianbei tribe, the entire Xianbei tribe was at its peak, and it could add up to more than 200,000 troops. However, after Yuwen Zhao attacked Jizhou, the strength of the entire Xianbei tribe suddenly dropped to a higher level. The originally powerful tent only had 50,000 troops left, and not all were young people.

Although the Horan tribe is better, it will not be much better.

The battle of 20,000 people is already a ceiling-level battle for the current Xianbei tribes.

Faced with the arrogant and domineering Helan tribe, the Xianbei King's tent could not bear it. The two sides fought several battles on the grassland. Due to the disadvantage of the number of people, the Xianbei King's tent suffered a lot of losses.

At this moment, Jimen Pass was still watching, and no soldiers left the city.

In the general's mansion in Jizhou City, Yuwen Hu, with an anxious face, stood in front of Ye Mao, whose already dark face turned even darker. He gritted his teeth and said, "Duke Ye, our troops have been fighting with the Helan tribe for three or four days, and thousands of people have been killed or injured. You can't be conspiring with the Helan tribe to harm you?"

He looked angry and gritted his teeth: "If your army does not send troops, my tent will raise the flag and surrender!"

Duke Ye, who had a calm face, said with a smile: "If you have this attitude, you don't have to talk about anything anymore. You might as well surrender to the Horan tribe. In this way, you don't have to fight anymore, and I don't have to risk sending troops. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Yuwen Hu was already furious, but he still suppressed his anger and his voice trembled in anger.

"What exactly does Duke Ye want to do?"

"I have told you a long time ago that all the Xianbei tribes are all one family, and they are even the same surname. I cannot guarantee whether you have joined forces to act and deceive me, so I need you to show sincerity."

As he said that, Ye Mao pointed to a map in front of him, then drew a circle on the map with his hands, and said lightly: "Whether you seduce or force, drive the people of the Helan tribe into this circle, my Zhenbei Army will naturally send troops."

Yuwen Hu looked down at the map, his face gloomy and gloomy.

……………………

May of the second year of Yankang.

It was the hottest season of the year, and more than a month had passed since the north started fighting. Due to the high delay in information, the news received by Li Xin was still in a stalemate in the north and no real result was achieved.

However, although there was no result in the north, the rebellion in Guangling had already achieved results. The Guangling rebel army led by His Highness the King of Qi personally revolted for more than a month and was easily defeated by Li Shuo and the Shenwu Guard. At this time, the former King of Qi had been captured alive and was on the way to the capital.

In the past month, there were occasionally people in the capital offering auspicious signs, but because Zhou Youyi and other leaders had been greeted by Zhao Jia, no one wrote to persuade them to enter. Overall, the court was still strangely calm.

During this period, Li Xin focused most of his attention on the war in the north. In addition to reading the military newspapers sent from the north every day, his secret troops also delivered messages to Jizhou at all times, so that Ye Mao could keep his ears and eyes clear.

However, how the war in the north will be fought depends on the Zhenbei Army adapting to the situation. With such a high "delay", Li Xin could not provide any advice to Ye Mao, nor could he interfere in any war in the northern border.

All he could do was do all the logistics work in the capital and then wait quietly for the results.

However, on this day, Li Shuo, who rushed to Guangling to suppress the rebellion, finally returned to the court with triumphant success. Originally, Emperor Yankang should have personally visited the city gate to welcome the heroes of the rebellion, but the emperor was not in good health these days, so he did not come in person.

As the Grand Governor's Office, Li Xin was waiting at the southern gate of the capital to greet him early in the morning. By the time the Shenwu Guard army arrived at the southern gate, it was almost noon.

Li Shuo, who was sitting on a big dark horse, immediately turned over and dismounted after seeing Li Xin, came to Li Xin, bowed to Li Xin and said, "I have seen the Grand Governor."

Li Xin reached out and patted Li Shuo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The general is successful, it is a happy congratulations."

Li Shuo lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "It's just some unsuccessful mobs. Before the King's army arrived in Guangling, most of them had already scattered like birds and beasts. The last emperor dared not take credit."

Li Xin smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, it's also a reward."

Then he looked behind Li Shuo and asked, "Your Highness, King Qi, have you brought it back?"

Li Shuo nodded slightly and said, "I was escorted back by the Duo. Because the general said he wanted to give these Ji family some decent things, he did not use a prison cart, but a horse cart."

This time, Li Shuo only brought 10,000 Shenwu Guards and 200 Shenji Camp soldiers. There were not many people. At this time, besides the mighty Shenwu Guards, there were three or four black carriages behind Li Shuo to escort the rebels.

Under Li Shuo's guidance, Li Xin stepped in front of the first carriage. He first looked at the carriage, then sighed slightly, and asked, "Why is His Highness the King of Qi rebelling?"

At this time, Ji Huan, the high-spirited King of Qi, was already forty-five years old, with hair dyed in the hair and beards, and was shackled all the way to the capital. His hair was dispersed now, describing his embarrassment.

He heard Li Xin's voice through the curtain of the carriage, and immediately became energetic and cursed outside the window.

"You and Lao Qi are both rebels!"

"Lao Qi is dead, and in the end you have committed his rebellion again. It's ridiculous! How can we wait for the Ji royal family to sit down and see a villain like you occupy the magpie's nest!"

Li Xin outside the carriage frowned.

"I originally wanted to reminisce about the past with you, but since that's the case, I won't say much to you."

Li Xin turned his head and said calmly.
