The bowstrings of war are getting tighter and tighter, but the battlefield of constant conflict is gradually falling silent.

Perhaps an outsider thinks that the two big men holding each other's hands may turn a little better, but Dia Bird is unusually sensitive to smell a trace of dust wafting in the air, which is mixed with the determination of the ruler and the will of the people, crazy and violent.

Dia Bird was already feeling strangely depressed.

Through a series of information, the signs are obvious. In such large-scale national wars, small countries can always feel the horror of the whole body of the empire as a giant.

If you live in Yelang all your life, you may never imagine the scene of hundreds of thousands of people and armies flocking to Guanzhong, densely marching to the west and north, but this is really what is happening.

In the face of such a wide and dense front, war may have become a confrontation of strength without the slightest art.

Diao, I don't know what happened to that Tuoba Tower. But he was worried.

What if a crowd of people of this magnitude flocked to his Eastern Xia? Could it be that if you kill 10,000 people, you will lose 8,000 yourself, and in the end, you will be ruined? What he worries about is not the outcome of the war, but the disappearance of the flames of war. Victory or defeat matters, and what is more important is how much it costs the bearers on both sides.

Farmland is destroyed, houses are crumbling, wolf smoke is everywhere, mountains and rivers are broken. If the war turned out to be such a confrontation, what could the emperor do?

He thought that personal honor and disgrace could not compare to the will of all people, and under this kind of war, if the king insisted on dragging the people to the death and struggling with his own selfishness, he would definitely be abandoned in the end, which should be called going against the sky.

As he widely publicized in Gao Xian, if it is just a change of emperor, how can there be a reason for the jade to be burned?

But he knew that Qin Gang wouldn't think so.

This emperor has added the will of hundreds of millions of people, and the war with Cotton and the sense of superiority that has always been over the Central Plains Empire have made thousands of people in the Central Plains abandon their contradictions and unite with each other.

Qin Gang is just the most empathetic one among them, condensing the will of all people, which can be called conforming to the will of heaven.

He also knew that Tuoba Weiwei wouldn't think so.

Tuoba Weiwei, he is not from the Central Plains after all.

He couldn't feel the stimulation of the Central Plains. He has never seen a person in the downtown who is drunk and suddenly dances with his hands and cries with his head beating, he has never seen a weapon seller sensationalizing the crowd and suddenly holding a sword to get together for ten years, and he will not know that the farmer who has eaten the last meal but not the next meal sits around at night, and suddenly someone says, "We have lost the battle again." Then a room full of people fell into grief and silence.

Tuoba Weiwei thought that he was the only son of Tuoba God and was blessed by Tuoba God; He can also make an affirmation with a lifetime of fighting horses, and those who are good at fighting do not win or lose by numbers; And over the years, he has taken Chenzhou as the foundation, developed east and west, and integrated a large area of land...... Oh my God, are you making a king who is being blessed by the god of Tuoba give up on himself? He conquered a vast land, the generals were like clouds, the strategists were like rain, and the limelight was flourishing.

No.

His dignity will never allow it, and he will defend his dignity to the death and will not back down.

Moreover, every time he stood in front of people, he would hear them cheering and vowing to defend him to the death.

Diao believed that one of the two emperors would find out that he had been deceived at the last minute, but they often found out too late.

After calming down and observing the battle, he felt that he had grown.

If he hadn't started from scratch, maybe he would have been poor all his life, and he couldn't imagine that it would be so simple to break through this mystery, but after breaking it, he seemed to suddenly feel that he was good at being an emperor. Although he was still young, he planned to pass on this enlightenment to his children and grandchildren, so he finished tuning the suqin, sat down with his hands clean, and wrote thoughtfully: "The lady is the first of the country, and the king of the country...... The country cannot be reversed, and the king does not violate the country. Those who are good at the country will guide the country, and the country will move its people, and the people will be united, and the Zhaoshu will look up, the world will return, and the king will be the forerunner. ”

Spring thunder everywhere, the wind and clouds are changing.

Only close to the desert of Baolan, the sky is quiet, sunny and thundery, and there is no restlessness.

Until Taishi Dong came to visit.

The war of conquest of Chenzhou was ignited by Qin Gang himself, the emperor put the handwritten book into the quiver, let people send to the first line, the war burned from the easternmost end of Cangzhou to Anding, and burned to Longshang, and finally burned to Jingjun, Diaoyin, Tuoba Weiwei's strategy is to hit the outer line first, from Anding to the west of this line, these outer lines are far away from the capital for a long time, the troops are weak, once they break through, they can threaten Longshang, and the inner line can be guaranteed.

However, the imperial court wanted to attack next to Longshang, Jingjun, Beidi, and Shangjun, because these places surrounded the capital, and it was easier to concentrate superior forces.

The strategic intentions of both sides are obvious, Tuoba Weiwei entered Cangzhou, the imperial court was helpless, the imperial court fought out from Zhizhou, there were many people, Tuoba Weiwei avoided it.

Because of this kind of evasion, Chen Chao couldn't beat Liu Yu.

Fighting Liu Yu was originally an illusion created by the Chen Dynasty, seducing Diao out, once he really sent troops, the Tuoba clan concentrated the main force, first crushed, and then went south to participate in the war, everyone knows that fighting dogs at home is destined not to play the result, since Dongxia not only did not send troops as scheduled, but found an excuse for the imperial court, Tuoba clan gave up on this move. The Tuoba clan retreated, and it is said that at this time, it was a good time for Dia Niao to use Yinchuan as a springboard to cooperate with the Shangjun and Beidi Jingkang armies to march westward, but Dongxia was bouncing on the edge of the imperial court, and he was stuck in Shangjun's neck to find trouble.

The imperial court was always a little uneasy, and couldn't help but look for a suitable candidate for the envoy in Changyue, originally Qin Gang wanted to invite Qin Fen to go out of the mountain and go to the Eastern Xia army along Yinchuan to sit in the army.

As a result, many ministers objected, and some people said to Qin Gang: "Dia Niao is Qin Fen's henchman, once he has a second heart, His Majesty will let the imperial brother go over, isn't it just to lend him a banner?" ”

In addition, Qin Fen went through hardships, and his heart was also light, so he knew how to avoid suspicion and use his poor health to call him sick, so he didn't succeed.

But the state of Dongxia, the imperial court is really not at ease, and then consider it until the old lady Dong volunteered.

The emperor asked his father-in-law, "How can you convince Diao if you go?" ”

Mrs. Dong replied directly: "Convince what? If he didn't listen, the old man took action, practiced martial arts for a lifetime, and held him hostage to him loosely. ”

The emperor was worried.

Or Jianbu came forward to speak for his in-laws: "If Dia Bird has different intentions, it is the best policy to stabilize him temporarily, and if others go, it will make Dia Bird wary, will he attack in advance?" Only the master does not ask about the world, and it is most appropriate to run, and he can be eloquent and complete, and he does not dare to be angry. What's more, at present, Dongxia is helping me, it is also the performance of the contract, and it is not advisable to lure the rich profits, and on the day of victory, the profits will be cashed out, and disasters will occur. ”

The emperor had no choice but to agree.

Before going on the road, the emperor did not give Dong Taishi documents and identity, let alone any expectations, Dia Niao really wanted to break with the imperial court, how could it be that he was an old man who could influence it, and run away, that is, to find out the bottom and reassure the imperial court.

Mrs. Dong spurred himself on.

Before leaving, he made an appointment with the former dog slaughterers, a feast, shed a few tears, dropped the dishes, and vowed: "This trip will go north." If they can't persuade the Eastern Xia Dia bird, they will burn it. ”

When he arrived in Baolan, he heard that Dia Niao had enclosed himself and wrote some kind of nag book, and he thought that Dia Niao was avoiding him, and he was wishful thinking.

Not to mention that he can't see through it, there are still people around Dia Niao who don't know, and the old man who came to see him has a long temper and a blunt attitude, and he can't help but discuss right and wrong with him. It was three or four fights a day.

After arguing three or four times a day, and rolling up more than a dozen sleeves, Old Man Dong is no longer young, and he can't stand it a little.

His mouth was dry, he went back to the post house and poured a few sips of tea, just thinking that he heard that Qin He was also in Baolan, so he would get up early tomorrow and find another way to see Dia Bird, but if he couldn't see him, he went to Qin He and asked Qin He, the princess, to find a way, and Dia Bird sent someone to invite him.

Dia Bird wrote a book, just to give himself a reason to be light-hearted.

As of the beginning of this war, he only led the army to Baolan to fake a battle, and then let Bo Dalu swagger south, quarrel with others, and send 300 Qianniu to Fuyu, Lingwu and other border towns north of Chenzhou under the secret of Qilian and others to assist them in training the army.

If you don't give yourself a reason to be light-hearted, there will always be people talking about it.

Bother.

It is contrary to the deep meaning of waiting for the moment.

When Taishi Dong came, the days when the eight poles couldn't be beaten, it was not appropriate to look at the younger generations as an elder, and he didn't come to the test with a mission?

Dia Niao set up a banquet at Qin He and asked people to invite him.

When the man arrived, the old man did not drink a drop of wine, and loudly denounced: "Dia Bird." Why did you not advance and attack the court? Are you ungrateful? ”

Dia Bird sighed and said: "It's not that the beloved son is earnest, the court doesn't trust the lonely son, and the lonely beloved son is detained, do you say that there are such allies." ”

Old man Dong was stunned and said loudly: "You don't believe in the court, and the court still doesn't believe you." You fight well, your son is in Changyue, who provoked him? ”

He said: "Don't worry, let him live in my house, I also watched you grow up, I should trust him and let him live in my house." ”

Qin He's eyes widened, left-handed, right-handed, happy.

She said loudly: "The old man is too loud. What Ah Bird said is what I want to say, the child went to play, and was arrested by his father's generals and ran away. It's you, aren't you angry? ”

Old man Dong couldn't help but teach her a lesson for her father: "You." You are the one who got married, and your elbow turned out, and if I were you, I wouldn't want him to do it. You're still laughing. What are you laughing at? Others know that you are a princess, respect you, and dare not say more, but I want to say a few words about you. ”

He asked: "Whose daughter are you and who should you turn to, the emperor married you to him, that is, you tied him to him, why did you run away with him?" ”

Qin He muttered: "What the old man said, he is my father-in-law, I don't run with him, who do I follow." She stretched out her palm: "The child is still here." We'll send troops tomorrow. Right. Bird. Then she remembered something and said, "No." It can't be left to chance. It's not enough for the children to come, let the fourth brother be a hostage, let the fourth brother or the children of the fourth brother's family also be a hostage, if you are willing, we will pull out the camp and fight overnight. ”

Old man Dong slapped his thigh, and said hatefully: "Silly boy." ”

Qin He said calmly: "On one side is my parents and brothers, and on the other hand, I am not biased, whoever is reasonable, I will face whomever I want." ”

Dia Niao liked it very much, and hurriedly praised: "Ah He." That's a good thing to say today, in the past, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to sort out right and wrong, but if you look at it today, you're too worried. ”

Like a countryman, he put wine and feelings in front of reason, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, old man, you should eat, you should drink, don't say anything, drink, if you drink well today, get drunk and lonely, and be lonely tomorrow, you will listen to you tomorrow, don't say anything, do as you say." Let's talk with wine. Drink first and then talk at the banquet, do you want Lone to listen to you? Yes, you can, it depends on how much you drink. ”
