Lin Ye summoned his men from Wu Lingwei to discuss how to go to Dongbo to investigate the situation.

On the northern border of Dayu, Tuoba Lie must have sent people to rush there urgently to notify and prepare for defense.

But even if the Loufan people have invaded Dongbo, they will not easily provoke Dayu.

If they don't come to attack, Dayu's border troops are nowhere to be seen and cannot be mobilized without orders.

But if they come to attack Dayu Border Pass and see foreign enemies, the border troops can directly fight them.

When fighting begins, where the fight ends will be determined by the situation of the battle.

"If we don't save Dongbo, Northern Xinjiang will face Lou Fan's army."

Lin Ye looked at his men with a solemn expression.

Twelfth Senior Brother Yan Geng nodded: "The reason why the imperial court has made great efforts to support Dongbo is because our northern border does not have many natural dangers to rely on."

From Dongbo to Dayu, even if it can't be said to be a flat road, it's not much different.

If Lou Fan successfully annihilates Dongbo, he will suddenly lose his barrier, and even the city wall and fortress alone may not be able to stop him.

Dongbo hasn't fought in more than ten years, and so has Dayu.

The Loufan people are different. The Loufan people only want to go south and are always preparing for war.

Dayu, however, had no intention of conquering the north, so he focused on defense.

Thirteenth senior brother Xu Haoran said: "Without an order, Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army will not go north."

Lin Ye nodded.

Xu Haoran added: "But there is a territory in Dongbo, isn't it entrusted to Dayu?"

Lin Ye was startled.

How could you forget this?

After the last incident of Dongbo changing emperor, hundreds of miles of territory were entrusted to Dayu by Dongbo for control.

At that time, Tuoba Lie mobilized 30,000 troops and left Yunzhou to station in the north.

Nowadays, the most direct battlefield facing the enemy in Dayu's northern border is not the border, but the front line of Dongbo Caoshu City.

Yan Geng said: "But even if there are 30,000 border troops over there, they will not directly send troops without Tuoba Lie's orders and will."

Xu Haoran sighed.

Although the 30,000 frontier troops are not the Beiye Army, they are all elites. If they can immediately rush to the north for reinforcements, even if they do not fight the Loufan people, it will be miraculous to help the Dongbo people defend the capital.

"They don't dare to act rashly."

Yan Geng looked at Lin Ye: "There is no definite news yet, so we can only mobilize Wu Lingwei to go north."

Wu Lingwei has 10,000 horses. Even if these 10,000 people set off early tomorrow morning and rush over, they will not be able to get support from the Beiye Army when they reach Caoshu City.

"I'll figure it out."

Lin Ye stood up and said: "Send the order, Wu Lingwei's entire army will march north early tomorrow morning."

Feng Xiu, the deputy commander of Yu Lingwei, frowned and said, "King Beiye is afraid of you, but aren't you afraid, general?"

Without a decree, all Wu Lingwei were transferred to Dongbo. If Emperor Jade wanted to kill Lin Ye, this would be enough excuse.

"I'm different."

Lin Ye said: "You just need to prepare. You only need to bring enough food and grass for twenty days. Pack lightly and travel lightly. Try to be faster. You don't need to bring too much material and equipment."

Feng Xiu's expression changed: "With twenty days of food and grass, we can barely reach Caoshu City."

Lin Ye said: "That's enough."

He strode out: "As for whether the emperor will punish you or not, it has nothing to do with you. I gave the military order. Of course you must act according to the order."

Yan Geng quickly asked: "Where is the general going?"

Lin Ye said: "I'm going to find a very important person. Otherwise, we still won't be able to mobilize the 30,000 border troops when we get to Caoshu City."

No one knew who Lin Ye was going to find, or who could make the decision to mobilize the 30,000 border troops.

Besides Tuoba Lie, who else could be there?

Lin Ye hurried back home first, told Zinai about the matter, and asked Zinai to wait at home with peace of mind.

Then he found something, put it in his arms and hurried out.

How could Zinai wait with peace of mind? As soon as Lin Ye left, she packed up her clothes, took Xiaohan with her, and asked Lao Chen to take care of herself and Lao Lu. She went directly to Wulingwei Camp to wait.

After Lin Ye left home, he found Gao Gong as quickly as possible. After giving the things he brought from home to Gao Gong, he asked him to go to the black market to find someone, so he had to be quick.

Lin Ye had discussed with Dafu Gou's brothers before that only those who are willing to go to winter mooring, and who are not the only son or the mainstay of the family, can go.

After he handed over the matter to Gao Gong, he left in a hurry. Even Gao Gong didn't know where he went.

At the same time, the Beiye Army camp.

Tuoba Lie was sitting in the central army's tent, and his generals from the Beiye Army were arranged on both sides.

"Tell me, what should we do about this?"

After Tuoba Lie asked, he glanced around.

His trusted general, Yuan Qingze, leaned over and said, "General, my subordinates think that we might be able to send an order to the border troops in Caoshu City. There are 30,000 border troops there. We can move as appropriate."

Tuoba Lie did not respond.

Yuan Qingze could actually guess why the general did not immediately agree to his request.

No matter how good the 30,000 frontier troops are in fighting, they are still in Dongbo, a place they are unfamiliar with.

If the Loufan army really goes south, there must be something fishy. These 30,000 people are indeed elite, but they have never fought against the Loufan people.

There is basically a flat plain to the north from Caoshu City. If the northern frontier of Dongbo has been broken, fighting on the plain with 30,000 frontier troops and Lou Fan's army that may be ten times or even dozens of times larger will be like hitting an egg against a stone.

Moreover, what Lou Fan is best at is plain field warfare, and they have hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

Thirty thousand light-armored infantry fought with such a huge cavalry on the plain. How to fight this battle?

This is not fighting, this is risking death.

"General."

Gao Shun, another general under Tuoba Lie, asked tentatively: "How about, in the name of military training, my subordinates lead 10,000 cavalry out of the border? Stop by the Caoshu City camp to see what happens."

Tuoba Lie still didn't respond.

Gao Shun opened his mouth, and when he wanted to persuade him again, Yuan Qingze touched him lightly, and he immediately stopped talking.

Yuan Qingze suddenly realized why the general was so hesitant.

If it were ten years ago, the general would have led his troops northward without any scruples.

The reason why the general is not moving troops now is because the general regards these 100,000 Kitano troops as the foundation for his survival.

The previous Beiye Army was also led by the general, but that was the Emperor's Beiye Army.

After the general has been operating in Yunzhou for more than ten years, this Beiye Army has become the general's Beiye Army.

Therefore, once Lou Fan's army really goes south, there will most likely be millions of people.

It is absolutely impossible for the general to fight to death one hundred thousand Kitano troops in a foreign country at this time.

The current general has selfish motives.

As Tuoba Lie's confidant, Yuan Qingze didn't say anything more after he woke up.

The general does not want to lose a single soldier of the troops in Northern Xinjiang.

The situation more than ten years ago and now are no longer the same.

Seeing that Yuan Qingze and Gao Shun stopped talking, everyone else chose to shut up.

Others don't know what the general is thinking. How can they, the generals who have followed Tuoba Lie for so many years, not guess it?

The emperor's attitude towards the general was aggressive. The general tolerated it again and again, three times and four times. Now even they felt that they could not bear it anymore.

If the army really rises in the future, if the general can really change the owner of the country in the Central Plains, then which of these generals is not a prince?

With all this in mind, they were reluctant to send troops.

Tuoba Lie was silent, and they were also silent.

I don’t know how long it took, but Tuoba Lie stood up and said, “Give me the order to prepare the entire army for war. Each battalion will bring out the food and supplies and be ready to set off at any time.”

Yuan Qingze stood up and asked tentatively: "General, are you going?"

Tuoba Lie shook his head: "Waiting for the decree."

After saying these three words, he walked away.

In any case, there is nothing wrong with this attitude. Prepare food, grass, supplies, weapons and armor in advance, and set off as soon as the order comes.

Could this be wrong?

Yuan Qingze and the others looked at each other, and they all looked understanding. The general's attitude was already so obvious, and they couldn't be more anxious.
