However, just as Murong Chui was about to give an order, Gao Hu, a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, raised objections.

Gao Hu was born in the Hebei clan - Bohai Gao, and his father and grandparents were officials in the former Yan and Hou Yan dynasties.

And he himself is extraordinary, so he is deeply relied on and trusted by Murong Cui.

He opposed the acceptance of the party, and Murong Chui had to pay attention to it.

"Why doesn't Gao Qing agree with King Fan Yang's intentions?"

"Your Majesty, King Fan Yang's words are wrong."

"This is greedy for small profits and big losses!"

"Hexi has been planning for months, and Wei Shuo even did not hesitate to scold him for this, that is, he wanted to swallow Xiyan in one fell swoop."

"Murong Yong knew about Hexi's scheme, but he just offered the party to my Dayan, which was clearly a plan to remove trouble."

"If Houyan is as strong as ever, it is not inappropriate to accept the party."

"And in the future, Yan will decline, and its strength will be far inferior to Hexi."

"Once you accept the party, it will definitely attract a large-scale attack from Hexi, isn't it self-inflicted?"

"At this time, when the country is in a difficult situation, Your Majesty should not compete with Hexi for the party, but should cultivate virtue and politics and treat the people well."

"The party is just a corner of the country, and it is not enough to strengthen the country, but it may lead to fire."

"Therefore, the king must not fall for Murong Yong's calculations and accept this place to invite disasters."

I have to say that Murong Trai is indeed not a qualified monarch.

He has always liked to think from a military point of view, and rarely has considered all aspects of politics and economics.

Therefore, he was very displeased with Gao Hu's suggestion of a strategy to recuperate, and he was bent on accepting the land of the party.

At the same time, other Houyan clans also spoke out in favor of Murong De's proposal, especially Murong Kai, the king of Taiyuan, who was the most active.

Although Murong Kai is not as elegant as his father Murong Ke, he is not a mediocre person.

It is considered a leader among the younger generation of the Murong family, and it is also trusted and reused by Murong Chui.

Xu is grateful for Murong Ke taking care of himself back then, and as soon as Murong Chui ascended the throne, he let Murong Kai take the title of King of Taiyuan.

I saw the king of Taiyuan standing in the center of the main hall, talking eloquently, refuting Gao Hu's assertions one by one.

"Whether or not to accept the party does not depend on what Murong Yong is trying to do, but whether it is beneficial to Houyan."

"Hexi forces to destroy Xiyan, plotting the Three Jins, and is clearly seeking a foundation for the future east of Taihang."

"If we sit idly by and watch Xiyan perish this time, then the party will return to Hexi."

"At that time, Hexi will sit on the entire Taihang Heavenly Danger, and once it joins forces with the Northern Wei Dynasty, it will make Dayan suffer from the enemy."

"On the contrary, if you take this opportunity to pocket the party, you will be able to ensure that half of Hebei is worry-free."

"Moreover, competing for the top of the world is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat."

"If Your Majesty still has the ambition to dominate the world, why are you afraid of removing trouble?"

"As long as it is beneficial to Dayan, even if there are thousands of difficulties, there should be no retreat."

Hearing this, Gao Hu was furious and trembling with anger.

"Dare to ask the King of Taiyuan, if you lose Youyan and lose nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, does Dayan still have the strength to confront Hexi?"

Murong Kai said in a heartfelt manner: "Today, Dayan still has four states and millions of people, how can it not compete with Hexi? ”

"King Taiyuan, don't forget, the Wei army is still looking at Hebei in Youzhou."

"Once the army is deeply trapped in the party, is it rare that you are not worried that Tuoba Jue will take advantage of the situation to go south?"

"Hahaha, the tall man is too worried!" Murong Kai's eyes flashed, and he said impassionedly.

"The Sanjin Dynasty is a strategic location, and Hexi, Northern Wei, and Houyan all have the heart of annexation."

"Whoever occupies this place first will take the initiative in the game of competition for world hegemony."

"Because it is related to the general trend of the world, which side wins the three Jin will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of the other party, and the alliance will be in the morning and night!"

"It's like when the Dayan army just crossed the Taihang Mountain, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Hexi, which were originally old enemies, immediately put aside their prejudices and joined forces to rescue the Western Yan."

"In the end, it caused my Great Yan to swallow the Three Jin Dynasty and fall short."

"In order to compete for the land of the Three Jins, Hexi even did not hesitate to go back on his word and seize the lead by means of a false way to destroy the enemy."

"The land of the Three Jin Dynasty fell into Hexi, is it rare that it is just a threat to Dayan?"

"It must be known that if you go north from Yanmen Pass, you will arrive at Xinping City in the near future."

"In the face of an imminent threat, Lord Gao said, will Tuoba Jue watch the state be occupied by Hexi?"

"Therefore, in my opinion, when our army marches west to compete for the upper party, Tuoba will not only not go south, but will secretly unite Dayan just like he did when he united Hexi."

"What's more, Your Majesty has returned from the south, and with Your Majesty's fame, you will deter the younger generation, so that Tuoba Jue will not dare to act rashly."

"Your Majesty doesn't personally enlist?" Gao Hu was stunned.

"Hahaha, the purpose of this battle is not to drive out Hexi and occupy the state, as long as you can keep the party, where is the need for Your Majesty to take action personally?"

"You only need to send one of the kings of Liaoxi (Murong Nong) and King Fanyang (Murong De), which is enough to deal with the war of the party."

"Good!" Murong Chui excitedly patted the case.

"The King of Taiyuan is solely responsible for accepting the party and supporting Murong Yong, and the rest of the people immediately raise food, grass, and troops to prepare for a big war."

Seeing that Murong Chui had made up his mind, Gao Hu couldn't help but be disappointed, and he was also pessimistic about Hou Yan's future.

The entire court, including Murong Chui, is full of a group of muscle sticks, who like to consider problems from a military point of view, and never consider people's livelihood and economy.

Years of wars have made it a mess under Houyan's rule, and the people everywhere are not clothed.

According to his intentions, not only should he not intervene in the dispute between the upper party, but should take the opportunity to form an alliance with Hexi, and then make every effort to recuperate.

Wait for the people's livelihood and economy to recover, and then send troops to the Northern Expedition to Youyan.

Unexpectedly, I don't know if everyone has been angry about Hexi's intervention in the Xiyan war last time, which made Houyan exaggerate the importance of the party, regardless of its own internal hidden dangers, and insisted on sending troops to the party.

Even if you keep the party this time, what can you do?

In the face of Hexi, which occupies most of the merged states, Shangdang Xiyan alone cannot reverse the unfavorable situation.

In Gao Hu's view, it is better to work people's livelihood than to be thankless.

It was also from this moment that Gao Hu felt completely disappointed in Hou Yan and came up with the idea of finding another way.

As for whether to vote for the Northern Wei Dynasty or Hexi, he couldn't make a decision for a while.

The Northern Wei Dynasty and Hexi were both attractive to him.

Take Hexi as an example, in addition to being the only Han regime in the north, his friend Cui Xiao also served in Hexi.

Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was a Hulu regime, it did not attack the powerful family like Hexi, which was very attractive to people from a large family like him.

Next, the Later Yan Emperor Murong Chui and a group of important ministers had a heated discussion on the matter of joining the Shangdang, and the monarchs and ministers unanimously agreed that the dispute over the Shangdang would be very fierce.

Based on this judgment, Murong Kai, the king of Taiyuan, proposed corresponding countermeasures: unite with Qin and Wei, increase troops to the party, and force Hexi to retreat.

Murong Chui immediately made two arrangements: on the one hand, he sent two envoys to the Northern Wei Dynasty and Later Qin respectively, urging the two countries to form an alliance with the Later Yan as soon as possible, and doing his best to promote the unity of the three kingdoms, forming a deterrent to Hexi in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Murong Kai was ordered to serve as the commander of the army, leading 30,000 troops to join the party to ensure that the party was not lost.

"Does Kai'er have a specific strategy to defend against the enemy?" Murong Trai asked with interest

"Back to Your Majesty, this attack on Hexi to capture the Three Jin Dynasty has aroused the anger of all parties, and the ministers expect that the three kingdoms will be successful!"

"At that time, the main force of Xiyan will rely on the city to actively defend against the enemy, while our army will take advantage of the situation to divide the troops into two routes, hiding in Fukou and Taihang respectively."

"When the Hexi army besieges the eldest son, the army will march all the way to the west through Fukou, and all the way to the north through Taihang, if you can persuade Hou Qin to march from Pingyang, then Hexi will fall into a siege on all sides, how can it be undefeated?"

"Okay, I will wait for Taiyuan Wang Jiayin in Zhongshan, I hope you don't fall into the name of your father's famous general."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this time the minister will definitely be ashamed of the failure of the snow platform, so that Wei Shuo will also taste the taste of failure."

Murong Kai was really capable, and within a few days, he mobilized an army of 30,000.

Then he and his younger brother Murong Shaobing split into two roads and ran to Fukou and Taihang respectively.

At the same time, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty successively received requests from the Later Yan Alliance, and they all agreed to be willing to help the Western Yan.

Soon, an alliance against Hexi was quietly forming, which greatly increased the difficulty of Hexi's entry into the state.
