Tuoba Tao has been very satisfied lately.

The war on the side of the Northern Yan, because Kumoti adopted Cui Hao's strategy and led the army to attack, harvested all the grain that could be seen in the Northern Yan before the autumn harvest, and the army of the Northern Yan was defeated and retreated, while the army of the Wei State was supplied in a foreign country, but became the more leisurely one.

Then the three princes of the Feng family rebelled against a lot of towns along the road, coupled with the lack of grain and grass in many towns, all the way to meet each other, almost no waste of strength to lay down the south of the Northern Yan, the army waved all the way to the capital of the Northern Yan Longcheng, every three days the battle report never reported the defeat, from the Northern Yan back of the population to the south of the Wei State, every minister in the court is in a good mood.

With the population, there is a qiē, the population of the Central Plains is really small after years of war, but the roads are in disrepair, the canals are dry, and the bridges are broken and all need manpower to change the status quo.

The progress of iron smelting of the Gaoche people is also very proud, when they are on the grassland, because of the lack of resources and manpower, so coal smelting and ironmaking are a crude behavior, but now there is the Ministry of Industry to participate in the improvement, Tuoba Tao has given enough materials and materials, the new furnace made by the Gaoche people is terrible with high temperature, and the iron created is also extremely tough.

The Wei State only occupied Shanxi and Mongolia before, and there was a shortage of craftsmen in the country, and although the weapons were sharp but very brittle, they were often cut off as soon as they were on the battlefield, and the cost was also high. Fortunately, Wei is a military household system, and the weapons of the military households are all family heirlooms, and many military households are poor, but they have a good armor heirloom, so the combat effectiveness of the Wei State can be maintained in.

But now that the Gaoche people have solved the problem that the impurities in the iron are too high and the weapons are fragile, then it will be a matter of time for the iron tools in the country to be further developed. The craftsmen of the Wei State are all registered, belonging to the protection of talents, can not be changed at will, and then there are high-speed car people to join, it is like a tiger with wings.

Di Yefei is indeed a capable person, he divides the Gaoche people into many groups, and adopts the assembly line mode to build weapons, the sword-making is specialized in sword-making, the arrow-making is specialized in arrowheads, daggers, and iron armor, these people are all made by slaves and Tuoba Tao's manpower.

However, the craftsmen required for the core of iron smelting and coal smelting are all older high-speed chariot people, so that the quality of the furnace fire and iron embryo is ensured, and the creation of weapons such as sword-shaped, arrows and daggers is not a difficult job, and the general craftsman can do it, which greatly accelerates the production and quality of weapons.

He did this, but also to ensure that the core technology has been in the hands of the Gaoche people, even if others want to learn, it will take at least three or five years to reach the proficiency of the Gaoche people, but now is the time for the Wei State to be high, three or five years Wei State can't afford to wait, so it can only send trusted Gaoche people to invest in the output day and night.

Now Cui Hao, Gu Bi and a trustworthy minister have already changed to the new steel weapons of the Gaoche people, Tuoba Tao's new armor is called "cold light armor", the weight is only half of the previous one, but even the arrow can not be shot in, looking at it from a distance, the cold is pressing, there is a faint blue light circulation, its excellent Cheng dù, better than the previous Wei State's high-grade armor according to the night bright light armor.

A large number of arrowheads, spear heads and spear tips were sent to assemble into weapons, the first batch of weapons were equipped with the Gaoche Tiger Ben Army according to the agreement, Tuoba Tao was worried about the combat ability of the Gaoche people, and often took Di Yefei as the Gaoche Tiger Ben soldiers in the name of "hunting" to personally practice, fortunately, the Gaoche people were used to hardships and hard work in the north, and the body was stronger than the average military household, several famous generals took turns to teach, plus Tuoba Tao used his mind here, the combat ability of the Gaoche Tiger Ben Army was rising, and Di Yefei also became the most favored young general recently.

Many people even said that Di Yefei was likely to become the second Mulan, or the second Kumoti, and the one standing behind him was a high-speed car, which was even easier to succeed than Mulan, who was born slightly cold and did not have any power.

Bei Liang's side is also quite smooth, although Fuqu Muqian and Li Shun have had accidents one after another before, but Bei Liang's hope to canonize Fuqu Bodhi as the son of the country has arrived in Wei, which is the situation that Wei wants to see the most.

The young lord and the old minister, as well as the elder prince who is eyeing the throne, will not be stable in Beiliang. As long as Beiliang is not peaceful for a day, Wei can reach out and do a lot of things.

With the arrival of the letter of state, there is also the covenant that Beiliang is willing to open all trade routes and is willing to lend the road to Wei during the war, which means that Beiliang not only retains the name of the country, but in fact, there is no difference between it and the ordinary states and counties of Wei.

Thinking that Princess Xingping, who came to kiss immediately, was a peerless beauty, and the dowry she brought had also doubled several times, Tuoba Tao felt that he had been smooth sailing recently, with both wealth and wealth, and there were endless famous ministers and good generals, but traitors and traitors and thieves had received them even in the sky......

He is indeed a winner in life protected by God!

However, just as God wanted to exhort him to guard against arrogance and rashness, Tuoba Tao's excitement was not long before he was severely shattered by the ruthless facts.

This day is in the Great Dynasty, because the weather is hot, all the ministers kneel in the hall, the whole body is like washing, even if there is an ice basin around, the empty hall is cooler than the outside, but this year's rare autumn tiger still makes the Manchu Dynasty civil and military bitter.

They got up early in the morning to go to court, and the court meeting was very long, and it was so hot and stuffy that many of the last officials in the back row had begun to fall asleep.

At this moment, the snare drums sounded in both directions outside Miyagi.

Pingcheng is very close to the six towns in the north and the desert, in the past when Rouran and Wei were fighting, there were many things that Rouran people broke through the military town and approached Pingcheng, so there are a total of twenty-four military halls in eight directions around Pingcheng, responsible for garrisoning, baggage, vigilance, conveying military information and other tasks.

Therefore, there is a gong and a drum in each of the eight directions corresponding to the inside and outside of the city. [,！ For more than 50 years, it has been more than 50 years since the enemy invaded the city and the drums were beaten if the military situation was urgent.

As soon as the snare drum sounded, it meant that 100,000 urgent military information had been sent to the capital through the military channel, and Tuoba Tao heard that the drum was coming from the north and the west, and stood up on the spot, and did not listen to the playbook, but pressed the long sword at his waist and looked at the palace gate motionlessly.

The rest of the ministers were also panicked one by one, and the ministers who were still asleep were drenched in cold sweat on their backs by the sound of the drum, because Tuoba Tao, who was still sitting upright as soon as the drum sounded, stood up, and naturally saw who were dozing off.

Cui Hao and Gu Bi, who were on the left and right sides of the main hall, glanced at each other, and both of them shook their heads. They all have a huge force behind them, sometimes the information comes faster than Tuobatao, they also have a tacit understanding, sometimes fighting and sometimes cooperating, and the information is often exchanged.

But now both of them have shocked and suspicious looks on their faces, obviously they don't understand what happened!

The snare drum sounded, everyone had to give the messenger mushroom poop, not a moment, the north gate direction of the horse's hooves loud, a messenger with a colorful flag on his back actually rode straight to the hall where the meeting was located, the body smelled very much, obviously all the way on the body, just in order to quickly spread the military information to Pingcheng.

No one noticed his gaffe, and the messenger went straight to the door, and swooped down on the main hall, and roared in a hoarse voice:

"Report! The king of Northern Yan pretended to send his son to escape, led the troops of the king of Yingchuan to attack, and was ambushed by the Goguryeo army halfway, and now he is trapped north of Changli Yin! "

"What?"

Tuoba Tao thought he had misheard.

"Where did you say the army was ambushed? Goguryeo?"

Goguryeo and Northern Yan are only separated by a Liao River, and the two countries do have good relations, but decades ago, the former Yan prince Murong Yuan defeated the king of Goguryeo and burned the national capital, and Goguryeo has been harassed by Baekje, and the country is not as strong as before, and it is rarely sent out to cause trouble.

Kumoti's army of seven thousand eagles never leaves the commander when he goes out on the expedition, and no matter how negligent he is, the seven thousand people cannot be said to be surrounded, unless this large army is several times larger than Kumoti's army.

With Goguryeo's national strength, could it be that the whole country came to help?

The messenger was actually so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only nod desperately with red eyes: "The coming generals will be Goguryeo generals Ge Lu and Meng Guang, leading an army of 30,000. The army of King Leping and King Yingchuan had already besieged Longcheng, but the gate of Longcheng suddenly opened, and an elite soldier escaped with the chariot inside, and King Yingchuan was afraid that the King of Northern Yan would send out his son, so he led the army to pursue, and King Leping continued to attack Longcheng, and it was at this time that something happened."

"Dragon City is still surrounded by King Leping, once you leave, the civil and military officials and royal families of Dragon City will flee, and they will not be able to divide their troops to rescue King Yingchuan. The men and horses of the king of Yingchuan fled into Changli Yin and defended the city, but the enemy army was numerous, I am afraid it would not last long, and I asked the Great Khan to rescue! "

This messenger should be a straight line to Pingcheng, not a military envoy who changed in the post station on the road, and the battle report ahead is clearly organized.

Seeing that the military envoy finished the report, the palace people in the palace immediately sent water, ginseng soup, and supplies to him, so as not to suddenly die on the spot under the distraction.

Hearing that Kumoti was isolated and helpless, and his younger brother Tuoba Pi's army was dragged down by the battle in Dragon City, Tuoba Tao's heart was half cold after hearing this, and he immediately looked at Cui Hao and Gu Bi.

"The 30,000 army separates the king of Leping and the king of Yingchuan, which seems dangerous, but the Goguryeo people sent troops to save each other by no means really fighting for justice, and the national strength of Goguryeo is weak, I am afraid that it will be shown because of the benefits promised by the Northern Yan." Cui Hao immediately analyzed it to Tuobatao.

"The Goguryeo people are not good at attacking cities, and their armament is poor, so it is difficult to capture Changli Yin without siege equipment. And Longcheng is surrounded by King Leping, and the Goguryeo people can't get supplies, so they will definitely not waste time on King Yingchuan, and they should find a way to fight King Leping's troops inside and outside with the Northern Yan soldiers in Longcheng, first, to get supplies, and second, to enter Longcheng to get the promised benefits."

"Therefore, it is right for the king of Yingchuan to flee to Changli Yin to defend the city, and the Northern Yan and Goguryeo people can't afford to consume it, so they can only look at the city and sigh. Now the danger is the army of King Leping, I am afraid that he will not retreat, and will eventually be attacked from the inside and outside. Once the Goguryeo people forced away King Leping, the danger of Longcheng was revealed, and the King of Yingchuan was really in danger."

Among the ministers, none of the ministers has a better view of the overall situation than Cui Hao, Gu Bi is good at internal affairs, governing local areas, and usually obeys Cui Hao's opinions in military affairs, not to mention Tuobatao.

Now that Cui Hao analyzed this, Tuoba Tao suddenly became more worried.

"Then according to Cui Aiqing's opinion, now we should send a large army straight to Dragon City instead of Chang Li Yin to save people?"

This messenger traveled thousands of miles from Longcheng (Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province) to Pingcheng, which was sent by King Leping to ask for help to relieve the siege of Kumoti, and now he heard that it was not Kumoti who was in danger, but his own commander, and almost passed out and died on the spot.

"The army must go out immediately, the sooner the better, now it is autumn cool, and when autumn passes, the north is icy and snowy, not only can you fight if you have enough food and grass. King Le'an has an army of 20,000, plus the Montenegrin army left by King Yingchuan 10,000, even if the siege is not strong, he can protect himself, but if he runs away from the king of Beiyan and his son, this battle will outweigh the losses, and he must be rescued as much as possible! "

Cui Hao bowed.

"This matter must not be delayed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty should act immediately, once the grain road drags on for too long......"

Before Cui Hao's words were finished, another messenger rushed to the front of the hall.

His letter was also urgent, but it was not a war report, so he used a snare drum but could not drive a horse, and came much slower than the messenger of Beiyan

[,！ When the ministers saw that they were not coming by horse, their hearts were a little settled, and even Tuoba Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The west is either Xia or Beiliang, if there is any more war, it will be really full of lice.

As soon as the messenger entered the temple, he was also startled when he saw the posture and atmosphere in the temple, and immediately knelt down to make a report.

"Tiger Benzuo Sima Mulan's urgent report! The mission Daxingyi died in the Beiliang Palace, and the investigation by General Hua was committed by the people in the Beiliang Palace. Under the pressure of the mission, the king of Liang sent his son Fuqu Bodhi to enter Beijing with the mission as a hostage, and Meng Yulong, the prince of Zhongping and the general of Xiaocai, was married, but due to the violent death of the Daxingyi and the lack of guidance on the road, the city of Qin Khan had already sent people to Beiliang to meet ......"

The messenger took out a long letter from his bosom and handed it to him, and immediately a messenger sent it to the temple and handed it over to Tuoba Tao and several other ministers to circulate.

The letter was written by Hermulan, adhering to her concise and concise style, and there was no flowery and headache-making rhetoric, so everyone read the letter quickly.

Generally speaking, it's not a bad thing, he died a big line, in exchange for the son of Beiliang, there is still a lot to be done in the future. If you make a big deal about it, you can make more profits.

But Cui Hao pinched the letter and frowned for a long time, even when he heard the battle report of Kumoti being trapped just now, Cui Hao didn't have such a look. Everyone is used to looking at Cui Hao's expression first and then analyzing things, Tuoba Tao saw that Cui Hao didn't speak for a long time, and his heart gradually sank.

Cui Hao didn't speak, he was considering the meaning behind this matter.

The Tiger Army and Hua Mulan are the third force in the army and the court today, and they represent the newly rising Slightly Cold Warriors, which will infinitely expand the monarchy's power, which is not a good thing for today's balance.

But the situation in Beiliang is related to the general trend of pacifying the Central Plains, and there can be no mistakes in this kind of matter.

Li Shun had a problem Cui Hao already knew, and he also knew that Tuoba Tao had arranged a back hand, so he waited for this envoy to let him show his feet, and sure enough, before he arrived in Guzang, Li Shun died in the attack of the leopard.

This trip has achieved the effect that everyone expected, but the thrill behind it must be more terrifying than the sword and sword shadow on the battlefield, and Mulan's ability to achieve this kind of purpose as a martial artist not only shows that her brain is not stupid, but also shows that she is a humble person who can listen to the advice and advice of others.

Such a talent is very important to the Wei State, and there are still too few young people in the Wei State who can be civil and martial, even if it may be unfavorable to the court dispute in the future, Cui Hao can't watch him have an accident, because Cui Hao's most urgent hope at present is the unification of the Central Plains, and after that, it is time to consider how to consolidate power.

But Cui Hao had to think deeply about the reason why Bei Liang did this, because he didn't understand what benefits Bei Liang had for the mission or Mulan.

The last thing that Bei Liang dares to offend now should be the Wei State, and being forced by the mission to set up Fuqu Bodhi as the son of the world is the best proof, in this case, what does Bei Liang dare to attack the mission, what does it rely on?

Could it be that where did Bei Liang move the rescue troops, not afraid of the retaliation of the Wei State?

Or is there some other intention behind it?

Princess Xingping will marry, and even the prince of Bodhi will send it, which shows that the people of Beiliang don't want to start a war......

The poor "smart man" Cui Hao couldn't imagine that this was not a well-thought-out strategy, but just a plan in advance, which was originally intended to seize the right to speak in the mission, but who expected to be pushed to the end by He Mulan, and he couldn't even marry the general.

And later, because of the death of Daxingyi, a large series of disasters, because the ancient information has not yet reached Pingcheng, how did Cui Hao know that there would be an old mulberry head on the road, and he used natural disasters to completely hit the Tiger Ben army and the mission, and almost wiped out the whole army!

Tuoba Tao was anxious because the battle in Dragon City was not going well, and when he saw Cui Hao for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Cui Taichang, is there something wrong?" What do you have to say on this?"

Cui Hao was still thinking about it, Gu Bi spoke first: "Daxingyi was killed, there must be some conspiracy among the people of Beiliang, Daxingyi is responsible for arranging the route along the way, it is very likely that Beiliang wants to set some trap so that the mission cannot return to Pingcheng along the way."

"But this simply can't be explained."

Shang Shuling Liu Jie shook his head, his face was strange: "Since Frustrated Qu Mengxun has already sent the prince and the princess to the capital, it is enough to show the heart of friendship, why should he contradict himself and offend my country?" It is true that Daxingyi arranged the route along the road, but for the safety of the prince and Princess Xingping, on the contrary, Beiliang must pay attention to the arrangement along the road, and they can't get out at all, isn't this a matter of letting them tie themselves up?"

"What if, Fuqu Mengxun clearly cares about Fuqu Bodhi on the surface, but actually doesn't pay attention to this son at all?" Cui Hao opened his mouth suddenly, his face like sinking water, "What if Fuqu Mengxun is willing to sacrifice this son and make Wei State morally untenable, in exchange for Shun Lì who inherits the position of the son of Fuqu Muqian?"

Cui Hao thought left and right, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

He felt that either the people of Beiliang were crazy, or that Fuqu Mengxun was really a hero, and in the case of the death of two concubines, he sacrificed the princess and even the third concubine in exchange for a smooth transition of the political situation in Beiliang, and passed the throne to the third son, Fuqu Muqian, who was most suitable for the continuation of the survival of the Liang Kingdom.

If this is the case, the coldness of the frustrated and the viciousness of the means is simply pointed.

"This can't be, the three sons of Beiliang are all the sons of Queen Meng, and the general who married is also the Meng family, how can it be possible to let Fuqu Bodhi have an accident on the road......"

Several ministers were talking.

"That is, the five thousand tiger army, plus the Lu Shuihu people who were captured on the road, such a team will have an accident on the road, and it is not enough to just get lost. Could it be that Bei Liang wants to send troops? Unless there is a certainty of total annihilation, as long as you get rid of a little wind, you will.[,! Wait for the destruction of the country! "

"Is Meng Xun old and faint?"

"How likely is it that the mission is in danger?" The two brothers that Tuoba Tao valued the most were trapped in Beiyan, and his most powerful subordinates may have been caught in a conspiracy, and Tuoba Tao already had the urge to sharpen his knife.

"I'm afraid, it's eighty percent. Moreover, if it is really as I imagined, Bei Liang probably doesn't want to stay alive, and it is impossible for anyone who knows the inside story to survive to be caught by us."

Cui Hao's face became more and more ugly.

"If it's not lost and lost the water source, or there is an army ambush on the road, otherwise, with the strength of Hua Mulan and the Tiger Ben army, Bei Liang's men and horses will not make the mission suffer."

Gu Bi, Liu Jie and the others felt that things might not be as terrible as he imagined, the garrison of Qin Khan City had not yet sent back news, and there was no news from the mission, all of them were speculations, and the speculations were not as urgent as the exact battle report of Beiyan now.

Everyone persuaded Tuoba Tao to deal with the battle situation of Beiyan first, take Longcheng first, and destroy Beiyan, and the Liang State could send a large army to Qinhan City to inquire about the news and welcome relatives by the way.

One is war, the other is diplomacy, both are games, who loses and who wins, in the end it depends on strength.

With two bad news in a day, Tuoba Tao couldn't continue the court meeting at all, he looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and after thinking about it, he returned to the throne.

The ministers knew that he was going to draw conclusions and were ready for a "war of words". But everyone also knows that Tuoba Tao is in a very bad mood now, and once the advice is not good, he is likely to be unlucky by Tuoba Tao.

Tuoba Tao looked at Cui Hao, then at Gu Bi, and said a sentence that the ears of the hundred officials heard calluses.

"I want to drive the expedition in person and go to Beiyan in person to relieve the danger of Dragon City."

Officials: (weeping bitterly) ...... No, your majesty! Danger! A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall!

Generals: (gearing up) Choose me, choose me, choose me!

"You don't need to advise me anymore, it's the best time for me to go on a personal expedition. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, the grain and grass are abundant, except for Longcheng, the road between Beiyan and Wei has been opened, the grain road is safe, and there is an expedition, which will definitely boost morale. The Goguryeo Kingdom is weak and weak, and when I see my personal expedition, I will definitely hear the wind and retreat to the back of Liaoshui......"

Tuobatao's words are pertinent.

"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say more. Before I leave, I will appoint Tuoba Huang as the crown prince and make him a prisoner of the country."

The problem that Tuoba Tao had been delaying for a long time was suddenly solved today, and the hundred officials were taken aback, and immediately someone looked at the clansmen of the Horai family.

The official from the Horai family had a calm face, and it seemed that he had already been mentally prepared for this.

Baiguan's heart is about to collapse, Tuoba Huang is only five years old now, and he is in charge of the country? said that he was in charge of the country, but in fact, he put an ornament on the dragon chair, holding his father's seal, and it was nothing to stamp.

Tuoba Huang rarely appeared in front of the hundred officials, and even the clan had little contact, and now they suddenly wrinkled a crying face when they thought of starting to coax children in various ways.

Cui Hao and Gu Bi were already predicting in their hearts who would stay to assist the prison country.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be Cui Hao's army and Gu Bi's auxiliary, but now that the autumn harvest has ended, it is urgent for Cui Hao to stay and establish authority for the prince, after all, the prince is young, and the minister in charge of assisting must have enough ability and courage.

Gu Bi has the ability, but his personality is stubborn, and his means are not as smooth as Cui Hao, so he is not the best candidate.

Tuoba Tao also relied on this before making his own choice.

"After the army set out, Ling Taichang Cui Hao, Shangshu Ling Liu Jie, Yidu Wang Mu Shou assisted the prince, and Empress Dowager Dou was in charge of the Tiger Fu of the 24th Army Palace and guarded the stable. The civil and military officials need to perform their own duties, and the crown prince presides over the government and adjudicates daily affairs."

Baiguan: (full of inflow) But he's not even five years old!

Generals: (headache) Why is it the Empress Dowager Dou's palm tiger talisman again! Report to the old lady every day, the military is depressed, and there is a wood!

Tuoba Tao's intention to personally drive the expedition has been decided, and the rest of the time is to discuss the candidates for the army, the arrangement of logistics, the supply of the army along the way to the north, the people who will be transferred, and so on.

The army did not move, the grain and grass went first, and immediately many officials knew that they would probably have to eat and live in the palace in the past two days, and some generals were thinking about how many private soldiers in the family could go with the army, and those sons and nephews in the family could go to mix up military achievements.

This court meeting lasted until noon, when everyone was hungry and dizzy, Tuoba Tao finally ordered to set up a meal in the palace, leaving a group of relevant officials to continue the rituals in the palace, and the other officials scattered to perform their duties, and the whole country began to turn rapidly.

People in this era usually only use two meals, morning food and evening food, but Tuoba Tao is always easy to get hungry, the palace has been three meals, and the officials who follow him have also developed the habit of three meals, a group of people eat and drink without knowing the marrow, but they heard that the plain Gonghe Lianding was invited.

"I know that it is impossible for His Majesty to just see that Mulan is in danger."

Cui Hao squinted his eyes and picked up a piece of five-flavor preserved food casually.

Helian Ding was summoned urgently, and he was inexplicable.

He lived in the West Palace for a long time, and he felt that he was going to live in ruins, except for accompanying Tuoba Tao to hunt and walking around Pingcheng on weekdays, the army and generals on the Western Qin side all relied on letters to communicate, and sometimes he even felt that he was no different from the women who Tuoba Tao raised in the harem.

Oh, there's still a difference, he can. [,！ Running around.

Tuoba Tao was eating a large piece of meat, and when he saw Helian Ding coming in, he threw his chopsticks away, and went up to greet him with a big grease mouth.

After Helian Ding saluted, he was pulled to the table by the greasy Tuoba Tao, and in front of all the important ministers present, Tuoba Tao spoke:

"I'm still not very worried about Beiliang's side, now that the news of the mission has not been transmitted back to Pingcheng, I'm worried that there will be something wrong in Beiliang after I personally conquer Beiyan......"

Helian raised his head and looked at Tuoba Tao in dismay.

What did he mean by that?

Something happened in Beiliang?

Tuoba Tao patted Helian Ding's shoulder, and then said: "I am going to let Helian Gong go back to Western Qin, lead the Western Qin soldiers and horses to the south of Beiliang, and then send another large army to Qin Khan City, ready to welcome the return mission at any time. If the mission is fine, the men and horses of Chin Khan City are the team to welcome relatives, and if the mission is in trouble, it is the vanguard to go to Beiliang."

"Your Majesty, the situation in Beiliang is still unclear, and I don't understand whether the mission has anything to do, and if you rush to garrison troops, will it ......?"

Western Qin is a small country, sandwiched between the Xia Kingdom, Liu Song and Northern Liang, adjacent to Qinzhou in the Xia Kingdom and Guangwu in the Northern Liang Kingdom, very close to Guzang, but only five days away.

After the destruction of Hu Xia, Western Qin became the farthest territory from Pingcheng, its location is prominent, and the people are poor, it has always become a problem for Wei, and now the local security is maintained by Helianding's original descendants, Wei in order to show his trust in Helianding, only sent local officials to govern the local area, and Anyang of Western Qin is Helianding's fief.

The willingness to let Helian Ding go back shows that Tuoba Tao fully trusts Helian Ding's loyalty, and is willing to send him like other Tuoba clan relatives, and truly regard him as a general of the Wei State.

Helian had mixed feelings in his heart, looked at the ministers of Wei who couldn't even hold chopsticks, and then looked at Tuoba Tao who had a ridiculous face and a mouthful of oil, and his usual poisonous tongue and sharp teeth seemed to be broken, and there was no possibility of opening his mouth to fight for himself to go to Western Qin.

He just looked at Tuobatao and waited for him to make a decision.

"Mulan's tiger army is all elite soldiers, and I can't afford to lose any of them. If Bei Liang really wants to use this kind of cleverness to test me, he must be ready to destroy the country."

Since Yuan Fang put forward the theory of enriching the country, Tuoba Tao actually wanted to fight Beiliang for a long time, but the country was worried that the multi-line would consume too much Warring States power, so he could only give up.

Now that it is known that something may happen to Mulan, and all the people in the Northern Wei mission may die under the conspiracy of Bei Liang, where can Tuoba Tao still sit still?

But he only has one, there are brothers to save in the north, and there are courtiers in the west who are likely to be in crisis, he can only choose one side, although he is a little sorry for Mulan, but things have priorities, Kumoti and Tuoba Pi don't know how long they can last, Beiyan is much closer to Pingcheng, and his battle is tight.

Helian Ding once laid down Xiqin, just to destroy Beiliang as a promotion, but because of Helian Mingzhu's safety to sacrifice Xiqin in exchange for his sister's freedom, Xiqin's soldiers and horses are all long-term warriors, there is no need to practice, and they are also familiar with the geography of Beiliang, so they are naturally the most suitable candidates.

However, it was impossible for the officials of Wei to fully trust Helian Ding, and no matter how much Tuoba Tao had made up his mind, they all had various reasons to say that Western Qin did not need to garrison troops, or that he did not need Helian Ding to risk his own visit.

Who understands the meaning of this, Tuoba Tao and Helian Ding are both human spirits, Tuoba Tao chose to mention this matter during the meal It was originally a temptation, and where did the officials not know why Tuoba Tao said such a thing at this time? And then the situation suddenly stiffened.

Cui Hao, who was in this matter, had just swallowed the last piece of five-flavor preserved food, this dish was his favorite, but unfortunately only the imperial chef in the palace made the best, so no matter what minister gave him, he would finish the five-flavor preserved dish first.

'If it's cold, it's greasy.'

Cui Hao dropped his chopsticks, looked at Tuoba Tao, who was in a hurry from a mouth full of oil to a face full of oil, and slowly spoke.

"Everyone is just worried that Helian Gong will never return." He took out his handkerchief and pressed it to his mouth, saying that he was not shocked, "Actually, this matter is also very easy and ......."

Tuoba Tao looked at Cui Hao with bright eyes.

"Princess Helian has also reached the age of marriage, and His Majesty has been in love with the princess for a long time, why doesn't Princess Helian consider marriage? My descendants of Great Wei are regarded as the same clan, and they can still be in charge of the army, Helian Gong used to be the prince of Xia, and it is normal for the world to have doubts, but if you and Your Majesty become in-laws, then you will be a family."

His Majesty's brother-in-law is much more convincing than the "prince of the defeated country".

'Well done! ’

Tuobatao's eyes brightened, and he looked at Helian Ding with a blank look.

Unexpectedly, Helian Ding thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I have to negotiate with my sister at this point, and I don't want to force her."

……

The ministers had the heart to strangle Helian Ding.

Typical cheap and good-looking!

"If so, that's easy." Cui Hao put down the veil and continued: "There are also a few princesses in our palace who have reached the age of marriage, and the wife room of Duke Helian is still empty, and several princesses are all beautiful and lovely, and it is not a loss to match Duke Helian."

Speaking of which, it's just a marriage.

is also Tuoba Tao, who has a large amount of weapons, and generally changes other lords, and has already married Helian Mingzhu, or forced a princess to Helian Ding, where can he be free to this day.

Helian actually knew in his heart that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't know that it was not Tuoba Tao who brought it up, but from such a situation.

Tuoba Tao obviously couldn't fully control his subordinates, and he wanted to send himself to Western Qin in order to deter Beiliang and let .[,! They didn't dare to act rashly in order to save the Tiger Army and Mulan.

But for these ministers, the safety of Hua Mulan and the Tiger Ben army is not so important, Tuoba Tao wants to move troops on two fronts, which is very dangerous for Wei, if he becomes independent with the soldiers and horses of Western Qin, it will be even more dangerous, it is simply a loss to his wife and soldiers.

So they need enough benefits, enough weight, to be able to get their support and affirmation.

On the one hand, Helian Ding admired this way of playing the game of equality between the monarch and the courtiers, and on the other hand, he was tired of the Wei ministers coercing him to conclude an alliance in the form of "selling himself".

In the past, the lord of Nanliang married his own daughter to the prince of Western Qin, and what happened in the end?

If you really want to make such a decision, you don't care about the safety of your relatives at all, let alone this kind of transactional marriage.

Tuoba Tao has indeed always wanted to marry Helian Mingzhu, not because he likes her very much, but because he really needs Helian Ding's ability, and now this situation of not daring to use it and wanting to use it is too annoying.

However, Helian Ding is a person with an eccentric personality, different from Hua Mulan and Cui Hao, and cannot be lured by profit, or move forward side by side with a common belief.

He still doesn't know what Helian wants.

Seeing Helianding's hesitation, although Tuoba Tao was a little disappointed, he still didn't want it to backfire in the end, but caused contradictions, so he had to play a round:

"The matter of the garrison has not been discussed in the court, but now it is just a discussion, you all discuss it more, and there is no need to rush to conclusions......

He touched his chin in annoyance, and when he touched the oil in his hand, he remembered that he was probably out of order now, and reached out to the eunuch to ask for a hot handkerchief, and wiped his face to expose the matter.

Cui Hao saw that he didn't succeed in forcing the marriage, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, and he was a little angry that Tuoba Tao was too easy to back down.

He even gave him a ladder to go up the wall, but he looked at it and came down!

However, if Tuoba Tao is not such a character, people like Cui Hao will not do their best to plan for him, it is precisely because Tuoba Tao always values love and righteousness first and then considers the problem, that Wei will not become a battlefield for all ministers to compete for power and profit.

Although most of the people are fighting for power, they can still be consistent in the big festival, and they do their best to assist Tuoba Tao and assist the Wei State.

It's a shame.

Some of the people hadn't finished eating, because of the faint embarrassment of this matter, Tuoba Tao excused himself to go to the toilet, pulled Helian Ding out of his seat, dragged him to a secluded place in the back room, and said a little scoundrelly:

"I really need you to go to Xiqin now, can't you let Mingzhu make a show with me? Make a marriage contract first, let her enter the palace, I want to go to Beiyan anyway, and I won't be able to go to your sister for a while...... Uh, you know......"

Helian Ding stared at him a little unacceptable, paused and said: "When the time comes, I will come back and find another Kou Dao Chief to divinate him, and he will say that it is not appropriate or something......

"I don't understand."

Helian made a moment to speak.

"Huh?"

Tuoba Tao was dumbfounded.

"I don't understand, why is His Majesty sure that if I go to Western Qin, Bingbei Liang will win? Beiliang is not as good as Beiyan, there are many elite soldiers, Guzang City is high and solid, and the strength of Western Qin and Qinzhou is less than 20,000 people, where can I beat Guzang?"

He looked at Tuobatao.

"Although I am willing to serve His Majesty, I am not willing to give my life in vain and fight this kind of battle to the death."

"I have arrangements in Beiliang."

Tuoba Tao was silent for a moment, and finally made a peace of mind.

"Many people don't know about this, but in fact, Yuan Poqiang is not in the mission. There are many factions in Beiliang, and all the tribes are mixed, and there are many who have long been antipathic to Fuqu Mengxun, Yuan Poqiang went to gather his father's old department in Beiliang, I asked him to act cheaply near Beiliang, hide in Beiliang and contact all parties in Beiliang, calculate the time, and now he has probably contacted the Xianbei clans, and has also taken out the treasures of Nanliang's past, and is recruiting troops in Beiliang."

He paused and continued: "In addition, Master Tan Wuyu expressed to me the thoughts of the Beiliang Buddhism, they are ready to switch to the Wei State, and they are willing to help our country attack Liang, I pushed the boat down the river and promised the envoys over there, I am afraid that they will also have some actions to prove to me that they have the ability to trade with me......"

"His Majesty is actually ...... with Buddhism"

Helian Ding was stunned, didn't he say that Tuoba Tao and Daomen were the closest?

Kou Qianzhi still lives in the harem, can he watch Tan Wuyu preach?

"What kind of Buddhism, Taoism, are all things that children deceive themselves......" Tuoba Tao said disappreciatively, "Belief is useful, and there is no power if you don't believe."

The Daomen and the Confucian scholars are not stupid, and this is not Beiliang, and if Buddhism wants to prosper here, it doesn't just need his support.

I used it all and it worked.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the tail is really too big to fall, he will ......

Destroy the Buddha.

"I understand, if General Yuan really makes a move in Beiliang, and the Buddha Sect can rebel against a group of people, it is indeed possible to win."

Helian nodded.

"Right? The matter of the pearl of Nahelian ......"

Tuoba Tao's face was bright, and he looked at Helian Ding expectantly.

"But I still have to go back and talk to Mingzhu about it......"

Tuoba Tao couldn't help but raise his foot and kick people.

"With all that said, you can't give it a little pleasure!"

Just your sister Jin Gui?

The harem waits for Lao Tzu to wait for the neck to be long. [,！ Put!

Helian Ding smiled apologetically.

'You're playing with me, aren't you?' Right? Right?! ’

In the face of such a Helian Ding, who did not enter the oil and salt, Tuoba Tao just wanted to raise his arms and shout:

- Lao Tzu wants to be a faint king!
