At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Qin Tianye didn't understand. The war in the Northeast had not yet ended. Why did his master leave at this time?

You know, if Xia Yun hadn't deployed troops on the battlefield in Northeast China, there would be a high possibility of military morale instability.

"That's right. Tonight I will take Xiang Wentian with me to Keto City. After I leave, you just need to follow the three-sided encirclement plan and move forward steadily. Within a month, the enemy will be defeated!"

As Xia Yun spoke, he patted Qin Tianye on the shoulder.

This was the first time he gave Qin Tianye such an important task.

Qin Tianye's mind was in a mess for a moment and he didn't know what to say.

It was not until dozens of breaths later that Qin Tianye came to his senses.

"Don't worry, Marshal. I will complete the mission and live up to your trust!"

Qin Tianye first nodded resolutely.

He was very grateful to be trusted by Xia Yun. At the same time, Qin Tianye couldn't help feeling worried.

"Marshal, after all, the city of Keto is within the territory of the Dune Kingdom. You must bring more soldiers with you on this trip."

Qin Tianye continued to speak, his voice revealing an obvious worry.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yun just waved his hand when he heard that.

"No need. There are 100,000 troops stationed in Keto City. You don't need to worry about my safety."

In order to leave more troops for Qin Tianye, Xia Yun only planned to take Xiang Wentian and a team of personal guards with him.

Qin Tianye wanted to continue persuading.

But then Xia Yun patted Qin Tianye on the shoulder again, with a serious look on his face.

"You have been with me for almost four years."

Xia Yun asked.

"Yes, Marshal."

Qin Tianye was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and nodded in response.

"Fight well. If you win this battle, I will commend you in front of His Majesty."

At this moment, Xia Yun's identity seemed not to be the commander of the 610,000 imperial army.

He seemed to have returned to the days when he was an official in Dai County. At that time, Qin Tianye was also his most capable and trusted general.

However, Qin Tianye was quite unknown in the entire Daliang Dynasty at that time.

Today, Qin Tianye is the official commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army of the imperial court. Excluding Zhao Gongming and Xiao Yan, in today's Northeast territory, Qin Tianye is second only to the emperor and above hundreds of thousands of people!

"Thank you very much, Marshal, for your promotion!"

Qin Tianye, filled with gratitude, quickly realized that this was a test from Xia Yun, or perhaps a promotion!

at dusk.

Xia Yun, Xiang Wentian, and an automated force of several hundred people quietly left Ulan City.

In the entire Ulan City, no one except Qin Tianye knew about Xia Yun's departure.

Although Xia Yun intended to test Qin Tianye this time, for the sake of maintaining the morale of the 610,000 troops in the Northeast, Xia Yun did not intend to spread the news of his departure from the Northeast.

When the sky became completely dark, Qin Tianye also led an army of more than 100,000 and left Wulan City.

Located in the enemy's rear, the troops led by Qin Tianye were like a sharp butcher knife, and the enemy were like fish on the chopping board.

As the saying goes, I am the knife and the enemy is the fish.

As long as this butcher knife is used properly, it is only a matter of time before the hundreds of thousands of barbarians and the Dune Dynasty coalition forces, who are like fish to be eaten, are defeated and killed!

……

Three days passed in a row.

Xia Yun and others who set out from Ulan City finally arrived at Keto City in the evening of that day.

Tuoba Jinghui, who had received the news in advance, led a group of people out of the city to welcome them early, and also arranged a grand welcoming scene at the city gate in accordance with the etiquette of the Daliang Dynasty.

"General Tuoba Jinghui pays respect to the Grand Marshal!"

When Xia Yun led hundreds of troops to the city of Keto, Tuoba Jinghui hurriedly walked out of the crowd and knelt on one knee towards Xia Yun.

Immediately afterwards, everyone at the scene knelt down in the direction of Xia Yun.

"We are here to see the Grand Marshal!"

The uniform voice instantly resounded throughout the city gate.

"Everyone, get up."

Xia Yun laughed.

After traveling all the way to Kerto City, there was no sign of fatigue on Xia Yun's face.

On the contrary, he was really surprised by the respect shown by Tuoba Jinghui and others.

In particular, the armor worn by Tuoba Jinghui and his generals had been replaced with the armor of the generals of the Daliang Dynasty!

In Xia Yun's impression, most of the barbarians living on the Mobei grasslands are bold and unrestrained.

Therefore, although the Tuoba tribe had previously joined him and served under him, Xia Yun never imposed too many restrictions on the Tuoba tribe from beginning to end.

There is no doubt that Tuoba Jinghui took the initiative to lead his generals to put on the armor of the Daliang Dynasty army to show his loyalty to him.

"Chief Tuoba, I haven't seen you for a long time. I congratulate you on your successful capture of Ketu City."

After Tuoba Jinghui stood up, Xia Yun continued to speak.

"Grand Marshal, you can call me Jinghui. Thanks to the great blessing of the Grand Marshal, everything that happened during this march into Keto City was within the Grand Marshal's expectations."

"It's windy outside the city. I have already asked people to prepare a welcoming banquet in the city. Please move inside the city."

Although he was a whole generation older than Xia Yun, in front of Xia Yun, Tuoba Jinghui's every word and action was extremely respectful.

This was certainly due to Xia Yun's identity as the Grand Marshal, but more importantly, it was due to Tuoba Jinghui's heartfelt awe.

Xia Yun annihilated 400,000 barbarian troops in one battle in the Hexi Corridor, and the news had already spread throughout the entire Mobei grassland.

Such an astonishing achievement could not be replicated even by the reincarnation of the God of War.

What's more, now in the northeast, under Xia Yun's deployment of troops, the imperial army has formed a situation of closing the door and beating the dog.

The more than 300,000 barbarian troops remaining in the Northeast will eventually end up being annihilated!

After a while, firecrackers rang out at the city gate. Under the leadership of Tuoba Jinghui, Xia Yun and the hundreds of troops he brought entered the city of Keto.

Riding on the street, Xia Yun kept looking at both sides of the street.

At the same time, countless eyes on both sides of the street were focused on Xia Yun.

These people are the indigenous inhabitants of the city of Ktor, a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed people of the Dune Dynasty.

Previously, under the strict order of Tuoba Jinghui, although the 80,000 cavalry of the Tuoba tribe captured the city of Keto, they did not harm any ordinary people in the city.

Xia Yun was very satisfied with this.

As the current highest military commander of the Daliang Dynasty, killing and arson are not his ultimate goals.

Even though he had decided to send troops against the Dune Dynasty and successfully occupied the city of Ktor, he did not want to turn the entire Dune Kingdom into a purgatory.

In fact, if the king of the Dune Dynasty could surrender to him directly, he would not hesitate to give up the idea of ​​occupying by force.
