At this time, Tian Feng also came up and said.

"My Lord, at present, these are not the biggest troubles."

"Your Majesty has issued an order for us to fight back against the Xianbei. Now the Xianbei are just testing the border. If we take the risk of raising troops, the Xianbei are not like the Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu."

Liu Yao nodded.

At present, in the northern grasslands, the Xianbei have the largest territory and the strongest strength. If I had not defeated the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in succession this time, and scared them, and only dared to test the border area, I am afraid they would have rushed into Bingzhou and slaughtered.

Moreover, the scouts reported that the Xianbei not only wanted to test the Han Dynasty frequently, but also often tested the territory of the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan.

Obviously, they wanted to take advantage of the weakness of these two families to annex these two forces.

After thinking for a while, Xizhong couldn't help but smile and said, "My lord, as the saying goes, when the clams fight, the fisherman benefits!"

"If we take the initiative to send food and supplies to the Xianbei at this time, and express our goodwill to them, we can help them get through this winter."

"When a person expands rapidly, his ambition will also expand."

"At that time, he will definitely take advantage of the weakness of Wuhuan and Xiongnu to forcibly seize their territory!"

After hearing this, Liu Yao also understood what Xi Zhicai meant.

"The military advisor means that once the Xianbei are not constrained by us, they will accelerate the annexation of these two forces to strengthen themselves. At that time, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan will definitely choose to ask us for help. At that time, it is time for us to defeat the Xianbei."

Xizhong nodded.

"My lord is smart, and he understands it at a glance!"

Guo Jia nodded and also approved of Xizhong's plan.

"My lord, Xi Zhicai's plan is good, but our ultimate goal is to annex Wuhuan and Southern Xiongnu, strengthen ourselves, and then we can compete with our powerful enemy Xianbei."

"I suggest that we send some Wuhuan and Xiongnu people to lobby in batches. As long as they are willing to come, we are willing to subsidize them to open up wasteland and allocate pastures for free, and promise not to collect any taxes in the first three years, but there must be men in their families who must join the army."

"In this way, I can have a stable source of cavalry, and then I can rely on this powerful cavalry to sweep across the entire north!"

At this time, a messenger came to Liu Yao.

Guo Jia just leaned in to smell it and laughed, "There is a faint floral scent on this envelope. I think it was written to you by a young girl in love?"

Liu Yao opened the envelope and looked at it, and he was a little flustered.

"Cai Yan is so brave!"

"Quick! Wenyuan! Pick five hundred light cavalry and follow me!"

Zhang Liao asked in a daze: "My lord, where are we going?"

"The official road to Luoyang!"

Liu Yao didn't even look back and jumped on the horse.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and urged: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch up with the lord, otherwise you will miss a good marriage if you are late."

Although Zhang Liao didn't understand, he still did it, picked five hundred light cavalry, and followed Liu Yao out of Yanmen.

...

A few days later, a carriage was driving on the official road.

"Miss, isn't it too risky for us to do this? If the master knew, he would be furious."

Cai Yan curled her lips: "I don't want to go back! That sickly guy surnamed Wei, who would marry a ghost!"

The maid next to her sighed. She naturally knew that the Cai family and the Hedong Wei family had an engagement before.

But Wei Ning was an extremely alcoholic and a sickly person. In addition, he was arrogant and frivolous, so he didn't like him.

But the two families had already had an engagement. Seeing that the engagement date was approaching, Cai Yan persuaded her father to no avail, so she secretly escaped and wanted to find Liu Yao.

"Miss is right. I saw that Mr. Wei a few days ago. He looked pale and couldn't walk steadily. If you marry him, maybe that day, you will really be a widow for him."

Ha! Yawn!

Suddenly, there was a sneeze outside the carriage.

Then a very weak voice came: "Miss Cai, I am Wei Zhongdao. I heard that you have been away from home for a long time, so I came here specially."

When Cai Yan heard Wei Ning's voice, she was immediately a little angry.

How come this Wei Zhongdao is like a dog-skin plaster, following her wherever she goes?

"Miss Cai, don't struggle. Since you and I have an engagement, where can you run away?"

"Or, you can't wait any longer and want to go to Hedong with me?"

As he said, a sick manThe drunken young man entered the carriage with a very obscene smile.

Cai Yan shouted angrily with a pale face: "Wei Zhongdao! Get out!"

"Hey, you and I will enter the bridal chamber in a while, why are you so reserved?"

After saying that, Wei Zhongdao took advantage of the situation and grabbed Cai Yan's jade feet.

"You lecher! Get out of here!"

The maid on the side saw this and hurried forward to drive Wei Ning out, but soon two people rushed into the carriage and pulled the maid out.

"Hehe, I have been to the brothel for so long, and it seems that I have never been in a carriage... Hehehe!"

"My lady... How about we..."

...

"Wei Ning! Get out of here!!"

Cai Yan stood up and wanted to resist, but was grabbed by Wei Ning.

"Hahaha! It's useless! Everyone outside is my people! You can't escape!"

Just when Wei Ning was preparing for the next move, there was a fierce shouting outside the carriage.

"Young Master! Young Master! It's bad! Bandits are robbing the road!"

Wei Ning was immediately furious. The duck was about to be cooked! But they disturbed him at this time.

"Who is it? You dare to rob my road! I am the second son of the Hedong Wei family!"

"I think you are so bold! How dare you rob my road!"

"I don't care about your Wei family! Whoever comes today will be useless!"

"This section of land! It is under the jurisdiction of me, Yang Feng!"

After saying that, Yang Feng came up with a spear in his hand and punched Wei Ning in the chest.

Puff!

Wei Ning's body was originally in poor condition, and this blow directly made him vomit blood.

Then a strong man holding a huge axe stopped Yang Feng.

"Hey, I'm also from Hedong. This man is indeed the second son of the Wei family. If we really kill him, we might be retaliated against. It's better to capture him and ask for a ransom."

"Well, then let's do as you say! Come on! Tie up this sickly person for me!"

Then Yang Feng saw Cai Yan crying in the carriage, and immediately revealed an intriguing expression.
