The banquet finally began, toasting and talking with each other, but also inevitably mixed with some serious things, Jingkang side, someone put forward a request to enter Dongliang City. Dia Bird excused himself on the grounds that the banquet was not suitable for talking about business. Gimbu himself didn't mention it, and whenever Diao shirked it, he didn't say much about it.

Anyone with military knowledge knows that Dongliang City is the only way for Dia Bird to return.

Maybe he is not a cheeky politician after all, and he is embarrassed to mention it himself.

This point also won a lot of favor from Dia Bird.

They are more than 100,000 people here, but it is also a threat, and if they make their position clear, they can also relieve Jingkang, lest people shake their hands and stuff Dongliang City.

Towards the end of the banquet, Diao took the initiative to say to Jianbu: "Prince. Just now, one of your subordinates asked Lonely, when will they be stationed. For the time being, Lone Wanwan will not let them station, but will only hold it in his own hands, this is Lone's back road, once it is cut off, it will be difficult for tens of thousands of troops to return. But Lone also made it clear to you that Lone did not occupy the heart of this place, you can send some local officials, Lone Army is for the safety of the local area, and will never interfere in civil affairs, the war is over, not only Dongliang City, but also other places attacked by Dongxia will also be returned to you, but there are no conditions, Lone must stand on the position of tens of thousands of bloody soldiers. ”

Jian Bu was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "That's too, you can't kill the enemy, and your own family will pinch it first." ”

Chenzhou is also sparsely populated.

The distance between the cities was much greater than in the original densely populated areas.

Diao took advantage of the situation and demanded: "The prince can lead a large army to recover other cities, but if he is pierced under the city, it is like a hanging sword, which is very inappropriate." ”

Jianbu was a little warmer, as if this was his true face. He said softly: "After all, Chenzhou is the original old land, most of the cities have been recovered, and the rest of the cities can be brought down by sending one or two." The soldiers and horses are stationed outside Dongliang City, it is indeed to prevent you, Ah Bird, you don't think it's strange, you let the court believe you, naturally you have to believe in the court, you don't behave in a proper way, and the soldiers and horses have their own me to press. Even if there is a small conflict, I believe you and I can restrain it and exercise more restraint. ”

He also said: "Now that Tuoba is weak, even if you return from Eastern Xia, the imperial court can also destroy Chen, why bother to fight for the future?" ”

Dia Niao immediately asked: "Is this the meaning of the prince, or the meaning of the imperial court?" ”

Kenbu laughed, "Naturally, it's mine." I think so, too. Dongxia has made great contributions to the destruction of Chen, and finally ended, with my Wang Shi. ”

Diao's bird stared at him for a long time.

Half an hour later, Dia Bird looked up to the sky and laughed.

Kenbu was inexplicably laughed by him, and I don't know if it was a harbinger of his turn of face.

Dia Bird stopped laughing and said lightly: "The prince is a fast man. Lonely also makes quick talk. The prince thinks for the lonely, and the lone thinks for himself. ”

Gimpo said in a deep voice, "Please." ”

Dia Bird shouted, Di Heihu immediately bowed to the side, Dia Bird demanded: "In the past few days, Gu has been receiving domestic letters here, you take the order, bring it for Gu." ”

Di Heihu asked rhetorically: "Which ones?" ”

Dia Niao said: "Guo Jia's, Xie Shilling's, Shi Qing's, and many ministers, including Feng Shanyu's. ”

Di Heihu nodded slightly, bowed and left.

Gampo waited with curiosity, it would take time to get the letter, he was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Ah Bird." Will you bring me the letter? They won't let you go? ”

Dia Bird smiled silently.

It didn't take much effort, Di Heihu came back with a few letters and handed them to Dia Bird, who handed them over to Jianbu.

Jianbu hesitated, but opened it one after another.

Open the first letter, read it for a longer time, to the second letter, the third letter, he quickly opened, quickly folded, the last letter, simply did not look at it, as soon as he raised his head, stared at Dia Bird in surprise, and said in a lost voice: "When you were in Lingwu, the country was persuading you to withdraw troops?" Say you're alone? ”

Dia Bird nodded.

Kenbu sighed and said, "But so, it is in your favor to collect troops." ”

Dia Niao smiled and said: "You are waiting for profit, but you are looking at righteousness." ”

Gimpo immediately whispered, "Please." ”

Dia Bird said: "First of all, Lone is a descendant of the Yong family. Restore a state, destroy a country, such a major event in the Yong family, how can it be abandoned? If I, Dia Bird, enter Chenzhou and destroy a country, the people of the world will know that I Dia Bird is doing my best in the war against Chen, fighting for the people of the world, and living up to the court. A hundred years later, there is a straight book of history, Chenzhou, and Diaiao are also recovered for the Yong people. If Lone is halfway through the fight, he says that Lone is going back, although he will be spared from injury, but the people of the world think that Lone has retreated again. ”

Jian Bu nodded slightly, but a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Dia Bird said: "Maybe the imperial court will think that Lone is asking for military expenses, and this matter is unavoidable, Gao Nu fought a battle, before and after, and my Dongxia suffered more than 20,000 casualties. The empty treasury of the lonely mansion is equivalent to fighting a war with the blood and sweat of the people for five years. If you can't explain to the soldiers, it's a big mistake. However, don't forget in the court, Lone is fought first and then wanted, and he will not ask for nonsense, which means that Lone is not blackmailing anyone, and he will not lose his righteousness. ”

Gimpo nodded again, meeting his gaze and looking ahead together.

Dia Bird continued, "Second. Tuoba Weiwei is a generation of handsome heroes, fighting snakes will not die, will suffer from it, by the imperial court, perhaps thought that the annihilation of 300,000, 500,000, and finally Tuoba Weiwei escaped, and also became scabies. But don't think so, Tuoba Weiwei is also an indomitable person, with a lot of talents under his command, and an unparalleled reputation on the grassland, who can be sure that he is not a climber, a crowd of followers? He entered Chenzhou, repeatedly led by the situation, and had no experience in governing the country, so he had to constantly compromise with the generals. At the very least, he can free up his hands and put the army in order. ”

Kenbu smiled: "A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, but resurrection, how is this possible?" ”

Dia Bird laughed again and said lightly: "Even when the Chen State was about to be destroyed, he was still resisting the Tuhut people in the north in the Zuizi camp. Heroes and heroes, how can they be in the minds of mortals? ”

He said: "When Tuoba Weiwei returned to the tribe, the tribe had been swallowed by foreign enemies, he raised troops, migrated, and gathered his people back to Tuoba Pass, with only 3,000 people...... There are also many old and weak. We counted him with a thousand soldiers and horses, and he used these thousand men to go around to fight, constantly annex, and achieve the royal industry. Back then, he was just the same as Lone, but now he has experienced national politics, as long as his ambition does not change, even if there is only one person, he cannot be underestimated. ”

Gimbu asked softly, "So, he actually started something from scratch like you?" Didn't you say that he inherited the Tuoba Division? ”

Dia Bird looked up to the sky and laughed again.

He said: "On the grassland, the name is a fictitious thing, and only the prestige gained by war is real. His brother was in him, and before he could return, the clan was torn apart. He was only given the name of a crusade against others. There are also many heroes outside the Saiwai. Tuoba has been at war with Yuan for decades, and he won't say that people like Junhou don't know what he did? ”

Gimpo was a little embarrassed.

Then he added: "I have heard of him, but the nomads worship him as a god, and boast more about him, and get nothing reliable from the captives." ”

Diao sighed and said, "It's not that you can't get it. But because of the underlook, it can't be analyzed. He said: "In those years, Tuoba Weiwei won a few battles, and he had the heart to trade with the imperial court, and asked to open a court, and the court agreed, and he became rich by relying on this field, and some tribes who did not obey him returned one after another." Three or five years later, he defeated the Murong clan in one fell swoop and recaptured the other tribes, and since then he has been out of control. He retreated to Chenzhou from the Jing people, not defeated by the Jing people, but suffered from a huge snow disaster, and after two years of snow disasters, he refused to fight with the Jing people, thinking that the Jing people had an advantage in the bitter cold. In the second year, it was said that the snow disaster was more serious, and Lone was already in the original, but in the first year, Lone knew a little, and the second uncle of Lone transported the frozen livestock and distributed them to dozens of cities to exchange for food, but they were almost incomplete, and the original convoy transporting meat was like a war. ”

He said softly: "At that time, the nomads were all crowded in Chenzhou, and it didn't come out of nowhere, there was no way. At that time, if the imperial court could have been familiar with the northern situation, perhaps the result would have been completely different. ”

He added, "I remember the winter of my father's year, and I didn't brow much for the winter. Hearing that Chen Zhou was in the Kou, he also competed with Yu Yuancheng on the battlefield. In his statement, he proposed to give half relief and half soldiers, first to fight fears, and then to give people a way to live. ”

Gimpo nodded.

Dia Bird smiled and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the imperial court ...... There is no one who understands the situation in the north. When the prince used the army, he actually slaughtered blindly, but pushed all the people to the Tuoba clan. At that time, many tribes were still very afraid of the behemoth of the original court, and when they saw that the princes were slaughtered, in order to survive, they had to surrender to the Tuoba clan one after another to avoid the slaughter of the imperial court, and the vassals of the Tuoba clan were more and more. ”

Thinking back to that time, Gimbu said with a little excitement, "I see?!" ”

Dia Niao affirmed again: "But the prince has also played a great role, and the grassland people are very afraid of you, and there are countless people who have escaped from Chenzhou, and they have nothing to eat, and they kill each other on the way." Otherwise, the Yong people of Chenzhou will be exterminated by the nomads, and there will be no one in ten. The people of Chenzhou have been preserved thanks to you and Tuoba Weiwei. No matter how brutal Tuoba Weiwei's governance is, there is also his great credit here, no matter what his intentions are, he said that his clan is of the same origin as the Yong people, and it is forbidden to slaughter the Yong people at will. The imperial court sometimes didn't understand it, thinking why did the people of Chenzhou still fight with him? He has good deeds. If he dies at the hands of you and me, I hope that the prince will remember the great achievements of his life and return him to his original face. ”

Gampo sighed again.

Dia Bird said, "That's a bit far. This is the reason why Lone refused to turn around and turn back immediately. The third is that Lone has an army in the northwest of Chenzhou, hundreds of thousands of people, Lone wants to pick them up and give them a stable life, of course, Lone can also pick them up from Tuoba Pass to cross the desert, but because of the first two reasons, Lone is on the way. ”

Gimpo froze.

He blurted out in shock: "The Yongren uprising in the northwest of Chenzhou was instigated by you?" ”

He exclaimed again and again: "No wonder. No wonder. The imperial court sent envoys to contact, but they were often blocked back. ”

Dia Bird smiled.

He said: "It is said that Lone should return the person to the imperial court. But there is no shortage of such people in the imperial court. Lone is the Yong people, and Lone wants to build the foundation on the Yong people, and Lone needs them to lay the foundation of Dongxia is a country with the Yong people as the main body. So even if there is a war, Lone has to pick them all up. From a private point of view, the court is definitely unwilling, feeling that the lonely plundered how many thousands of Yong people, but from the public point of view, it is the great cause of the Yong family, since then, Dongxia, there is a foundation for merging into the original, after a hundred years of loneliness, the descendants can not protect the country, then the Eastern Xia is the original Xia Zhou. Hundreds of years later, no matter when the history is written, it will be recorded as follows: Xia. The country of the Yong people, Dia Bird melts all the tribes to merge the country. ”

Kenbu stood up, still frozen.

He suddenly felt that with himself, he could no longer touch the height of Diao, and the truth of Diaoyao seemed to be the principle of heaven.
