When Duan Shao heard this, he frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Rouran has dominated the grassland for more than two hundred years, and all the ethnic groups in the grassland are subservient, and even the strongest period since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty could not eliminate them. ”

Gao Yang smiled and said, "How are the Rouran people compared to the Huns back then?" How strong were the Huns back then, forcing the Han Dynasty to humiliate and kiss for nearly a hundred years, but they were finally repelled and defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the Rouran people must have been defeated by other more powerful tribes in the steppe this time, and if a certain guess is correct, it should be the Turks. ”

Everyone in the tent looked at each other, and they didn't know when a grassland nation more powerful than Rouran appeared, and all parts of the Central Plains were about to face endless military disasters. Seeing this situation, Gao Yang knew that the situation was getting more and more serious, but he vaguely remembered that after a few years, the Rouran people were completely defeated by the Turks, and all their forces were integrated by the Turks to form a larger nomadic military alliance. At present, the Rouran people can mobilize a large number of troops, which shows that they still have strength, but it will not be long before they withdraw from the stage of history.

Turks? A figure suddenly appeared in Duan Shao's mind, Ashina Tumen, a generation of heroes in the grassland! If the Rouran people were defeated by him, Duan Shao absolutely believed that the other party had made them suffer a lot back then, and even King Gao couldn't get a little bargain when he faced off with them, "Ben Shuai believes that it is really possible that the Turks defeated the Rouran people." ”

I saw him say in a low voice: "When the King of Taiyuan was alive (Er Zhurong, who was named the King of Taiyuan for his merits), a certain King Gao served the King of Taiyuan together, and he was once crusading against Rouran, who entered the Kou. At that time, the Turks were only the iron slaves attached to the Rouran people, but they were more resistant to war than the Rouran people, and the king of Taiyuan spent a lot of effort to defeat the Rouran army, and the whole army besieged the Rouran army, and was preparing to eliminate the strength of the Rouran people in one fell swoop, but the Turks used tricks to escape, and also bypassed the rear to defeat the main army of the Great Wei, and finally the king of Taiyuan could only reluctantly order a retreat, leaving the Rouran people safe and sound to retreat to Monan. And the Turkic leader at that time was Ashina Tumen, whose military talent was even praised by the King of Taiyuan, you must know that even the famous Rouran Khan Anapu at that time, the King of Taiyuan did not put him in his eyes, but rarely gave a higher evaluation to a Turkic tribal leader, Ben Shuai remembered the praise of the King of Taiyuan at that time. ”

"This person can bend and stretch, ruthless and cunning, just like being reborn suddenly, and he will be in trouble for the Central Plains in the future!"

In any case, the Turks have not yet completely threatened the Central Plains, and the most important thing at the moment is how to repel the Rourans? How to contain the offensive of the Western Wei? Not only to keep the Central Plains from being ravaged by the Rouran people, but also to hold Fennan, and even if you are lucky, you can break through Yubi in one fell swoop, so that the entire territory west of the Fenhe River in Hedong will be occupied by the Eastern Wei Dynasty It is only a matter of time, but Gao Yang feels that it is a little unrealistic, and it cannot be captured when the morale of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is at its peak. In fact, this is indeed the case, with the attack of the Rouran people, the situation in the Eastern Wei Dynasty is becoming less and less optimistic, and now the whole army is fighting against time with its last breath.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang suddenly looked up at Duan Shao and said: "Dashuai, I think I can report to my father and send envoys to both sides, and on the one hand, I will send an envoy to Rouran, coercing and seducing; On the other hand, the Turks were sent to try to form an alliance with the Turks and gain the support of the Turks. If the Rouran people insist on going their own way, then they can unite with the Turks to suppress them, and if the Rouran is weak, they will secretly support the Rouran people against the Turks...... In short, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

Everyone in the tent lowered their heads and pondered this sentence, and couldn't help nodding in agreement, Qi Lian on the side was overjoyed after hearing it, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and laughed loudly: "Okay, what a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, the second son is really a god, if this plan is successful, the two tigers will fight for one injury, and then my Great Wei will send troops to clean up the mess and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”

"Then if Yuwentai also sent someone to carry such a plan, then what should it be?" Duan Shao thought a little further and asked with a frown.

Gao Yang snorted coldly when he heard this, and said lightly: "Yuwentai is indeed a heroic figure like a father, but the pseudo-Wei is now poor and has few people, and the economy is backward, and the mobilization ability of the soldiers is far inferior to my Great Wei, even if Yuwentai drives this time to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, then we can also send envoys to break through the predicament, after all, the foreign enemy is the foreign enemy, and the real decision is the comprehensive national strength of both sides, so I think we don't need to worry about the Turks and the Rouran, as long as they continue to stalemate, Then we don't have to worry about the nomads attacking from the north. ”

Everyone nodded again and again after hearing this, and even Duan Shao, who was sitting at the top, nodded slightly, and exclaimed: "This is a clever plan!" Then he said to a few people: "In today's situation, although Gao Xiang gave Ben Shuai the right to make his own decisions, but Rouran besieged Youzhou, and he must not let this group of barbarians break through Youzhou, otherwise the entire Central Plains will be ruined, then Ben Shuai plans to personally lead the three thousand iron cavalry outside the city to return to Hebei and personally defend Youzhou!" ”

As soon as these words fell, the camp fell silent, and Duan Shao seemed to see everyone's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "As for the supreme commander of the Fennan Army, Hou Niyu will directly serve as the commander, and this commander believes that the second prince will be able to lead the army to hold Fennan, what do you think?" ”

The words in front were like a bomb exploded, so that everyone didn't have time to digest them, and the back words were directly bombarded by a thunderbolt, Gao Yang, as the second son of Gao Xiang, was calm and capable, and even slightly better than the son of the world, Gao Cheng's temperament and ability, but at a young age, it is still very rare to directly appoint him to the position of commander of the first army.

In this chaotic era of chaos, everyone in power attaches great importance to military power, the commander of an army can control the life and death of the whole army, and people who do not have military talent cannot serve, and it is even more difficult to gain the respect and recognition of the whole army, and it is easy to cause a mutiny if he is not careful, even if Gao Cheng was young and dared to punish corruption and bribery, rectify the rule of officials, and was praised as a "young prime minister", but he did not dare to be easily appointed by Gao Huan as the commander of the first army.
