Meng Kai had been waiting in Jiuquan City for several days, but there was no news from the Liangwang Mansion. Fearing being discovered by the Huns' spies, Meng Kai waited for Li Wei's summons in an inn in the west of the city for several days, and several of his entourage were also ordered by Meng Kai not to go out.

In the palace of King Liang, Li Wei convened the important ministers of Xiliang to discuss. Li Wei thought about it for several days, but he couldn't make up his mind. If he wins, Xiliang will eliminate the big trouble in one fell swoop. defeated, Xiliang could only sit and watch the Huns encroach on the whale and swallow Liangzhou for a few years.

Several people in the council hall played a huge role in the founding of Xiliang, Suo Xian and Yin Jianxing sat in the column, their noses and eyes were watching, and they didn't say a word. When Li Wei sent Nanliang and Xiliang to form an alliance to attack the Huns, the rest of the people except Song Miao were shocked.

Guo Qian, the military advisor, said bluntly that now Xiliang is in ruins, and the soldiers and horses are short of money and food, and they are unable to send troops to attack the Huns. Besides, Nan Liang doesn't really want to form an alliance with Xiliang, but now that the destruction of the country is imminent, wanting Xiliang to take advantage of the fire for the Xianbei people will do more harm than good to Xiliang.

Since the crown prince Li Xin was defeated by the Huns in the camp of Leyun, he was dismissed by Li Wei as the governor of Pingliang, and now he heard that Li Wei wanted to raise troops to attack Northern Liang with Nanliang, and hope was ignited in his heart.

"Father Qi, now the Huns are greatly injured in the battle of Hongchiling, although they seem to be strong, but in fact they are strong and capable, especially now the Huns think that I Daliang is no longer capable of attacking, Zhangye and nearby counties have less than 40,000 troops, if there is Nanliang to contain Guzang's Hun army, I Daliang can take Zhangye in a few days."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong! Although the Huns and the Xianbei people suffered heavy losses in the battle of Hongchiling, they did not hurt their foundations, and the Xiongnu are still powerful, and they must not underestimate the enemy, let alone speak of war easily. Moreover, in the first five years of construction, the Huns broke the camp and besieged Jiuquan, Da Liang suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and now it has only been a year, and they have to fight again, and the soldiers have not gone through a long time of training, how can they defeat the Huns? Guo Qian was cautious in his life, and followed Li Wei when he raised troops from Dunhuang, and refuted Li Xin mercilessly at this moment.

"Why should Lord Guo be ambitious? Now the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the north camp of the city are training day and night, and their morale is high, and they will have enough grain and grass after the autumn harvest. Now that the Hun thieves are greatly injured, how can they miss the opportunity if they don't take the opportunity to attack it? Li Xin was secretly annoyed in his heart, but at this moment, Li Wei was not too rude in front of him.

"Alright, Xin'er! Lord Guo is also thinking about me for the sake of the cold, so let's think about it again, my lords, let's go back first. The slightest rumor of this matter must not be leaked, otherwise it will be severely punished. Li Wei glanced at Li Xin and waved his hand, signaling the two to stop arguing, and then looked around at everyone and said with a serious face.

"Yes. Rajah! ”

Everyone in the council hall should claim to be, and then went out of the Liang Wang's Mansion.

Li Wei looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and felt a little helpless in his heart. It has been ten years since the founding of the country, and his wish is to unify Liangzhou, so he moved the capital from Dunhuang to Jiuquan. Now that my body can feel much worse than before, can I still see the unification of Liangzhou in my lifetime?

Suddenly, Li Wei thought of a person, Pingnan Hou Tang Yao. Since Tang Yao fell seriously ill in the first five years of its establishment, he has been recuperating in Jiuquan City for more than a year. As for the understanding of the Huns, I am afraid that no one in the entire Xiliang can compare to Tang Yao.

"Come on, prepare a horse to go to Pingnanhou Mansion." Li Wei got up and commanded outside the hall.

Li Wei left the Liangwang Mansion, and the carriage slowly drove to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, since Tang Yao was named the Pingnan Hou, Li Wei gave Tang Yao a mansion. On weekdays, Tang Yao closed the door in the mansion to thank guests, rarely went out of the mansion, tended to some flowers and plants, and completely ignored the trivial matters of the DPRK and China.

The backyard of the Pingnan Hou Mansion is full of all kinds of bright flowers and plants, and the flowers that have bloomed compete for beauty, and the garden is full of spring. Tang Yao sat in the gazebo with her eyes closed, and a woman in a white dress behind her was rubbing Tang Yao's shoulders.

"Grandpa, Yu'er's hands are about to break, let's stop here today." The woman in the white dress is Tang Yao's granddaughter Yu'er, who has been waiting by Tang Yao's side since she returned from the Le Jun camp.

At this moment, Tang Yao was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the sound of even breathing, Yu'er's words Tang Yao acted as if he hadn't heard them.

"Grandpa." Seeing that Tang Yao was motionless, Yu'er grabbed Tang Yao's ears with her white and flawless jade hand, and leaned over to shout.

"Yu'er, do you want to scare grandpa to death?" Tang Yao broke away from her eyes, looked back at Yu'er and said helplessly.

"Grandpa, you can't hear me. Yu'er was wrong. Seeing Tang Yao's unhappy face, Yu'er held Tang Yao's arm with her little hand and kept shaking it and begging for mercy.

"You kid~" Tang Yao sighed and shook his head.

At this time, a subordinate quickly walked to Tang Yao's side, whispered a word, and quickly retreated.

Tang Yao came to the hall. Seeing that Li Wei was waiting for him alone, he saluted Li Wei.

"General Tang doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly." Li Wei got up and helped Tang Yao up, pulled him to his side and sat down.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Tang Yao said to Li Wei.

"Huh. This king is here today to discuss important matters with General Tang. I also hope that the general will not hesitate to give advice. Li Wei stroked his white beard and said with a smile.

"I don't know what the prince is about? If the minister knows, he must know everything. ”

"This king wants to send troops with Nanliang to attack the Xiongnu, what does General Tang think?"

"This~" Tang Yao looked dazed and felt a little incredible.

Li Wei immediately told the story that Nan Liang wanted to join forces with Nan Liang and jointly send troops to attack the Xiongnu.

Half an hour later, Tang Yao's face was solemn, he had been guarding the Lejun camp for many years, and it was not that he had not thought of capturing Zhangye. It's just that the army of the Huns is deployed in the Lejuan camp, and there is no chance at all.

"Lord Wang, is the news reliable?"

"Eighty percent is true, in the first five years of the founding of the Huns, the Hun army invaded our Daliang and lost tens of thousands of soldiers. In the battle of Hongchiling last year, although the 50,000 troops of Nanliang were defeated, they also suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. Today's Hun thieves are at their weakest......" Li Wei then told the Huns about the changes in the past year.

After hearing this, Tang Yao pondered for a moment and asked, "What does Lord Song think?" ”

"Lord Song agreed to send troops with Nan Liang, but Lord Guo and they thought that I should not wade into this troubled water now."

"In a pedantic opinion, Nanliang is now about to destroy the country, and the only way to fight to the death is to avoid the death of the country. It's just that you can't easily agree to the bald ......"

Li Wei nodded again and again when he heard this, and had an idea in his heart, it was already almost dark when he came out of Tang Yao's mansion.
