In 888 A.D., Xiazhou ushered in the most severe moment since the Dangxiang people occupied this land, first the leader of the Dangxiang Tuoba Sigong was killed by the people, and then the second force of the Dangxiang Tuoba Si entrenched in the northwest Dingyuan City was uprooted. Before the newly ascended Jiedu made Tuoba Si Zhi breathe a sigh of relief, the upstart Tiance Army entered Lingzhou in a big way and entered Guanzhong non-stop to compete with the Shence Army controlled by Yang Fugong for Guanzhong. In this way, Xiazhou, which is sandwiched between the two, has become a key to the competition between the two sides. Tuoba Siji's idea at the beginning was to use his geographical advantages to meet the source, but before he and Yang Fugong reached an agreement, the Tiance Army began its own actions, releasing Tuoba Siji, who was controlled by himself, to enter Xiazhou and compete with himself for the leadership of the party, so that Tuoba Siji's life suddenly became difficult, on the one hand, he had to face the blockade of Tiance Mansion, on the other hand, he had to do his best to suppress the separatist force Tuoba Sigong, and he had to deal with the Guanzhong Alliance that constantly threatened him to join. During this time, Tuoba Siji was almost ten years old, and the days of dancing on the tightrope every day made this festival envoy suffer a lot.

"Several, take a look at this information." In the Xiazhou Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Tuoba Sijian hurriedly summoned the six tribal leaders under his command and the eight generals directly under the Jiedu Envoy, as well as the high priest, to urgently discuss the northern information he had just received.

"Great Khan, when did you get this information?" The high priest is a priest who sacrifices to the gods of the party and has a unique position in the minds of the party people, so he first read the information handed over by Tuoba Siji, and after reading it, he handed it to the others and asked Tuoba Siji. After Tuoba Sigong's death, Tuoba Sigong was able to grasp the situation in a short period of time, which was inseparable from the support of this high priest. So when he asked, Tuoba Siji's face was heavy, "I just received it this morning, ten days ago, Li Xuanqing led his army to defeat Li Cunxin's cavalry of 30,000 in Wuliang Suhai, and even Li Cunxin himself was captured. But on the second day, Li Xuanqing released Li Cunxin and the captured more than 10,000 Shatuo cavalry, and after he led the army to join the defenders of Tiande City, his whereabouts were unknown.

"Great Khan, what is Tuobas doing now after that traitor?" The information was passed around the group and then returned to Tuoba Siji. At this time, Utul, the commander of the Ten Armies, pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked.

After Tuoba Sijian took power, the intelligence system was reorganized, and it was directly under the responsibility of the Jiedu Envoy, so all the front-line intelligence was concentrated in his own hands at once, and other generals relied on the Jiedu Envoy's report to understand this kind of front-line information.

"Still in Youzhou, in planning to attack Youzhou, he rebelled against the forces of the Yeli clan and the Fangdang clan to gather in Youzhou, and now the power has become bigger, and with the support of the Tiance army behind, it has almost been out of our expectations." Tuoba Si Ji sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's an eventful time now, our army is contained by all sides, and we can't go all out to encircle and suppress him, so we can only watch him at ease, but there is nothing I can do." ”

Now in Xiazhou, in addition to the two forces of the Dangxiang people, there are also two battalions of the Tiance Army, the Tiance Army in the north of Fengzhou is eyeing the tiger, and the south has to deal with Yang Fugong and the sworn enemy of the Dangxiang people, the Shatuo people, almost all sides need troops to defend, and there are very few troops that can be transferred to Youzhou. And Tuoba Siji is of the same origin as himself, what are the characteristics of his army, what are the defects, and the other party knows almost with his eyes closed, and this battle is almost impossible to fight due to insufficient troops.

"There is also news that the Shatuo people have been confirmed to join the Guanzhong Alliance. You know what that means, right? Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Tuoba Siji slowly said another piece of news.

The high priest's face changed after hearing the news, and he sighed and said, "Li Keyong's character has decided, the other party will definitely not allow us to join the Guanzhong Alliance." The future of our party members has suddenly become bleak. Great Khan, I don't think we can hesitate, we have to make a decision early. This world has been in turmoil for more than 100 years, and now all forces have begun to compete for the world, and the Tang Dynasty is about to change hands. The high priest's snow-white eyebrows flashed with a pair of eyes that saw through the world, and the words he said also revealed the calmness of a wise man, making everyone present nod secretly.

Tuoba Sizhi nodded, also sighed, and said: "Our party has been the fence of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, and it is also due to fate that we can separate one side alone, and now this trend of riding the wall is unsustainable." This is what Ben Khan wants to talk about when he gathers everyone today, because we have very little choice because of Li Keyong's relationship. We can only negotiate with the Tiance Army and strive to leave a habitat for our party and Xiang people. ”

"Great Khan, is the Tiance Army willing to negotiate with us? Li Xuanqing recently defeated Li Cunxin in the north, and the army over there had already entered Guanzhong, and the last general thought that Yang Fugong was definitely not his opponent, and supported Tuoba Siji to cut off our back road, I don't think there is any need for him to negotiate with us. If we can agree, Tuoba Siji will definitely agree, and he will definitely agree more, I don't think he will accept us. As soon as Tuoba Si's words fell, the leader of the Xifeng clan beside him said richly. The power of the Xifeng clan among the eight departments of the party is second only to the Tuoba clan, and his words represent the meaning of the six forces that support Tuoba Si Zhi at this moment.

However, his words made the surroundings cold, and the others were speechless at the end of the day. So Tuoba Si Zhi glanced at the high priest, who understood what he meant, coughed and said, "Then according to the meaning of abundance, should we stand still, wait for the end of the battle between the two sides, and then transfer our forces against us?" ”

"High Priest, abundance doesn't mean that, I mean that we should find a way to solve Tuoba Siji before deciding to negotiate with the Tiance Army, so as to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations." Seeing that everyone had misunderstood what he meant, Feng Hou continued after explaining a few words: "Our party members cannot leave an excuse and reason for the Han people to split and suppress. Whether it is to compromise with Tuoba Siji or to exterminate the other party, the party members have only one main body to negotiate with the Tiance army, and even if they surrender, there can only be one voice to represent the party members. ”

The rich words made everyone suddenly realize a problem, the Central Plains Dynasty has always liked the division of the various ethnic groups in the frontier, which gave them the reason to divide and rule. And the generous words are obviously a reminder of this problem. To be honest, it is not a shame for the nomads to surrender to the Han people, a hundred years ago the Tang Dynasty once sealed thousands of miles, so that all ethnic groups are proud of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty and are honored to be canonized by the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Central Plains is in decline now, don't the party members also call themselves the envoys of the Xiazhou Festival canonized by the Tang Dynasty?

When Tuoba Si Zhi heard Feng Hou's words, his eyes suddenly burst with a hint of brilliance, and he took over and said: "Okay, the words of the Feng Hou Patriarch Ben Khan remember, this matter must be concluded, otherwise it will be detrimental to the future of our party members." Ben Khan has invited a few guests today, so let me invite them to come out and meet the leader of my party. After speaking, he clapped his hands. The guards guarding outside the door suddenly pushed the door and walked in with a few people.

"Li Xuanqing, Tuoba Siji? How did you guys get here? A few people had just entered, and the others screamed when they saw their faces.

"Sit down, what are you doing like this? When did my party become so cautious? General Tiance was a guest invited by me and the Great Khan, and Tuoba Siji was also invited by me. Just when everyone was silent, and several hot-tempered generals of the guards were about to make a move when they pressed the handle of their swords with their hands, the high priest who sat still burst into cold cheers.

Seeing that everyone was restrained by the high priest, they sat back in their places. Tuoba Siji stood up and saluted Li Xuanqing, and said with a smile: "General Tiance forgive me, my subordinates don't know how to be polite, and they don't practice kinghood, so the general laughs." General, please take a seat, General Hu, second brother, you also sit. ”

Li Xuanqing smiled slightly, sat in the newly added position of the guard, and said with a smile: "The Great Khan is polite, it is also a great honor for Xuanqing to see the heroes of the party today, and please don't blame Xuanqing for coming uninvited." ”

His words suddenly made the faces of the surrounding party members look a lot better, no matter what, it is rare for Li Xuanqing to be willing to say such a thing. Instead, Tuoba Siji, who was sitting next to Li Xuanqing with Hu Xiaosi, snorted coldly and ignored Tuoba Siji's greeting.

"I don't know why General Tiance came to my Xiazhou today?" Feng Hou also knew at this time that Li Xuanqing should have talked to Tuoba Sijian in advance, so he asked.

Li Xuanqing also knew his thoughts, but he didn't care about these at this time, glanced at Hu Xiaosi beside him, and nodded. The plan to split Xiazhou was mentioned by Hu Xiaosi, and later he also thought of recruiting Tuoba Siji, although he came now, but he only pressed him to the formation, so that he could implement his plan smoothly.

"Great Khan, generals, in Xia Hu Xiaosi, I am the commander of the Special Operations Department of the Tiance Army, I think everyone knows me." His opening suddenly made the faces of the surrounding party members darken, and almost everyone in the party knew that Xiazhou City's next words made his former leader angry, can he not know him. But this is not the time to talk about this, so everyone listens quietly to his next words.

"My Tiance Mansion has now entered Guanzhong and begun to pacify the world, and my lord also annihilated the attack of 30,000 Shatuo cavalry with a 15,000-strong infantry army in the Fengzhou grassland the day before yesterday. It can be said that from the current point of view, our Tiance army is moving fast, and everywhere it goes, it is invincible and invincible. has forced Li Keyong and Yang Fugong to join forces to form the Guanzhong Alliance to deal with our Tiance Army. Hu Xiaosi's words can be regarded as a brief introduction to the achievements of the Tiance Army in the past few months, which everyone knows, so they are waiting for his words, "The next step for our Tiance Army is to occupy Kansai and consolidate the early results." Words on the northern line-" Hu Xiaosi glanced at everyone and stopped talking.

"After defeating Li Keyong, the northern front will quickly move south, completely occupy Xiazhou, and capture you, the Great Khan, to Lingzhou as a prisoner." Hu Xiaosi didn't say anything, but Tuoba Siji next to him took over the conversation coldly and said: "You bastards who sit in the well and watch the sky, you are still chattering here at this time, what do you want to do?" Do you want my party to be wiped out? ”

Li Xuanqing glanced at Tuoba Siji strangely, did this guy take the wrong medicine today? Why did the other party choke half to death after saying a few words today? Could it be that I have been bullied for so many years, and I want to vent it again today? But in terms of practical results, it's pretty good.

"Second brother, what are these words? No matter what we say, we are all descendants of the party, and everything we do at this moment is for the sake of the clansmen. Tuoba Si's face couldn't hold back, and after whispering a word next to him, he glanced at Li Xuanqing and said, "General Li, since I have talked about this today, my Xiazhou will also spread the words." How does General Lee plan to settle us? ”

Tuoba's words of advice were also the voices of all the party members present. For the party members in Xiazhou, it is better to bet on one side than to let the two groups clear the field before the official war, and there is at least half of the winning rate. As far as the whole day is concerned, the people who are here today who can decide the fate of the party are basically more optimistic about the Tiance Army. Otherwise, Li Xuanqing would not have been allowed to sit here. Besides, as far as Li Keyong's personality is concerned, he will definitely propose it to Yang Fugong and exclude the party members. After dealing with this sworn enemy for so many years, who Li Keyong is, others don't know Tuoba Siji, but they know it clearly.

"The people of the world are all my Chinese people." Li Xuanqing smiled slightly, but just said a word.

Li Xuanqing's words shook the people present, and a simple sentence contained countless meanings, but Tuoba Sizhi and the others heard different meanings from it.

"The people of the world are all my Chinese people." Tuoba Siji and Tuoba Siji glanced at each other, and a trace of inexplicable looks flashed.
