Chapter 207: Who to Ask for Help

This voice immediately made Hou Qin Wenwu shake up and down, and they all stared at the urgent report in the hands of the guards with frightened eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The crown prince Yao Xing didn't wait for Yao Chang's instructions, took the initiative to take the urgent report, and quickly opened it to browse.

Although Yao Shuode's prose is ordinary, it details the destruction of Wei Shuo in Nanliang and Houliang.

In addition, Fu Guang changed his banner and reported it together with Wang Maide's affairs.

When Yao Xing saw the name Wang Maide, his face suddenly changed and he shouted again and again.

"Uncle misunderstands the country, uncle misunderstands the country, Wang Maide should be killed, Wang Maide should be killed!"

The uncle in Yao Xing's mouth did not refer to Yao Shuode, but to Yao Xu.

When the battle of Shangjun was first made, it was because of Yao Xu's recommendation that he would adopt Wang Maide's plan.

Looking back now, it was more like a play planned by Wang Maide in advance, playing with him, including Wei Shuo, on applause.

After the Battle of Shangjun, he always thought that Wang Maide had died in battle.

For this reason, he also specially asked the court for his seal, but today he learned that he had already taken refuge in Hexi.

No wonder Fu Guang's performance after going to Luoyang was different from the past, it turned out that Wang Maide was all behind it.

Thinking that he had foolishly fallen for Wang Maide's treachery several times, Yao Xing was so angry that his whole person seemed to be about to explode.

Although everyone didn't know what happened to Longyou, seeing the prince's angry look, it was definitely not a good thing.

"Prince, what did the urgent report say?" Yao Chang asked impatiently.

Yao Xing first pressed Wang Maide without mentioning it, and introduced the recent changes in Longyou to everyone one by one.

"Father, uncle, report urgently, saying that Fu Guang has changed his flag and announced that he has joined Hexi."

"He also sent troops to defeat the retired officials Quan Qiancheng, Qiangxi, Jiang Yu and other Tianshui heroes and strong canal commanders, and captured the two counties of Luoyang and Tianshui."

"What?!"

Now even fools know that the situation is really bad.

If there was still a trace of luck in everyone's hearts after listening to what Kumarosh said just now, then everyone was desperate right now.

Originally, Hexi was much stronger than Western Qin, and now with the help of Fu Guang, the fall of Western Qin is a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, the entire hall was silent for a while, and everyone was shocked by the information sent back by Yao Shuode.

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard Yao Chang's throat dry and muttered: "Its momentum has become, its momentum has become ......"

And Yin Wei's heart involuntarily swelled with a bitter color, and the whole person seemed to be deflated and weak.

He knew very well in his heart that as long as Longyou was lost, Hou Qin would be surrounded by Hexi from the west and north, and he was extremely passive strategically.

Everyone present is not stupid, and naturally can see this.

What made everyone even more unsettling was that Wei Shuo also married the former Qin Dongping princess, which was half of the former Qin people.

In the future, once the Hexi Army enters the main pass, everyone present is afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

Especially Yin Shen, Zhao Yao, Wang Qinlu, Niu Shuang, Di Guang, Zhang Gan and other Hu Han heroes who supported Yao Chang's self-reliance, were even more panicked.

"How did Fu Guang become so powerful?"

In the face of everyone's questions, Yao Xing told the details.

When Yao Chang learned that the changes in Luoyang were all planned by Wang Maide, the former Later Qin Army, he felt more and more annoyed.

It can be seen from a series of changes in Luoyang that Wang Maide is full of wisdom and far-reaching.

Such a talent originally belonged to Hou Qin, but it was not reused, and in the end, it was cheapened in Hexi.

However, Yao Chang knows that now is not the time to hold accountable.

Therefore, he raised his eyes to look at his subordinates, who did not look belonging, struggled to get up from the couch, and waved his arms vigorously a few times in an attempt to boost morale.

"Don't forget, since ancient times, there has been no one who has entered the world with Hexi Longyou."

"Emperor Qin and Han Gao all ruled the world by virtue of Guanzhong, don't look at Wei Shuo's momentum at the moment, but I will never believe that he can change his life against the sky."

"Guanzhong is where the destiny lies, as long as we and the rest of us are united, what is Hexi afraid of?"

And Yao Xing also took the opportunity to get up and echo: "What my father said is very true, the trouble of today's Great Qin is that the wealth and goods have been exhausted due to years of war, and the people are lonely. ”

"Hexi Weishuo, it's just a disease of scabies."

"As long as we work together to put our internal affairs in order. When the treasury is full, he can send troops to the west to destroy Wei Shuo in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Majesty, although the prince's words are reasonable, the minister thinks that he should not take Hexi lightly."

"Since ancient times, the soldiers of Longyou are the strongest, and the people in the northwest are fierce, if Wei Shuo has the land of Liangqin and collects all the people in Hexi, he can peek west into the hinterland of Guanzhong."

"Now that the Western Qin beggar clan has come to ask for help, why don't Your Majesty take the opportunity to help him and give him food, grass, and ordnance, so that he can be a hindrance to the eastward advance of Hexi."

Yao Chang was greatly moved when he heard this, and was about to agree.

Unexpectedly, Yin Wei objected: "Now Hexi has destroyed Nanliang and Houliang, and has an absolute upper hand over Western Qin." ”

"Today, the Western Qin army is shrinking in the three cities of Jincheng, Didao, and Caohan, and it seems that the defense line is stable, but in fact, as long as the Hexi army breaks through one point, it will definitely be defeated like an avalanche."

"It is necessary to rely on the Western Qin, which is already in the waning West Mountain, to stop Wei Shuo, which is tantamount to beating a dog with meat buns. It doesn't do much except waste resources. ”

"Yes...... But even so, you can't watch Hexi take Longyou and ignore it? ”

Yin Wei thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you only rely on Western Qin, it will naturally not work." ”

"But Longyou is full of heroes, and Hexi is hostile to the family, and now most of them have the heart of the whale swallowing Longyou, how can the heroes of the family not be afraid?"

"The minister also heard that when Dadu Hu went south, he instigated the Qiang people to riot and forced Nanliang to take care of himself."

"Now that this opportunity is in front of you, why doesn't Your Majesty follow suit?"

"You only need to send scouts to shuttle around Longyou, inciting the commanders and heroes of the canals, so that there is no need for a soldier of Hou Qin, and they will join forces to resist Hexi."

Yao Chang was silent for a long time when he heard this, and only after a while did he say: "I'm afraid this strategy alone is not enough to contain Hexi, I don't know if Aiqing has other strategies?" ”

Yin Wei was silent for a while, and then said: "The minister still has a strategy, or he can balance Hexi." ”

"Speak!"

Seeing that Yin Wei was about to offer a plan again, Yao Chang immediately paid attention to it.

If you want to say that the people of the Later Qin Dynasty are the most valued by Yao Chang, they must be Yao Shuode and Yin Wei, and the two of them are their right-hand men.

"The minister's plan may damage His Majesty's reputation, if Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, the minister should not say more."

Speaking of this, Yin Wei hesitated for a moment and continued: "If Your Majesty does not think it is humiliating, the minister should make a detailed statement." ”

"Hahaha, I have even been stained with the name of killing the king, what kind of notoriety are I afraid of?"

Yao Chang waved his hand magnificently and said disapprerovitically: "Please don't have any worries, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is obvious that Hou Qin alone cannot fight against Hexi, and the only way to do this is to bring in foreign aid."

"But looking around, there are only the three kingdoms of Northern Wei, Later Yan, and Eastern Jin Dynasty who have the strength to help my Great Qin."

"It is said that the Northern Wei Dynasty and Hexi have a grit of teeth, and they are most hopeful of forming an alliance with me to fight against Hexi."

"However, the fact is that the Northern Wei Dynasty had already concluded a peace treaty with Hexi."

"At present, Tuoba Jue is busy with the northern expedition to the grassland, and he will never rashly turn his face with Hexi for the sake of Hou Qin."

"Although Houyan has strength, because it is not adjacent to the west of the river, the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near."

"Now it seems that only the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the most likely to assist our country, but if you want to get the Eastern Jin Dynasty to help, unless you ......"

"Unless what?"

"The Eastern Jin Dynasty prides itself on being the Zhengshuo of China, so unless His Majesty goes to the emperor and submits the form to the minister, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is only afraid that he will stand by and watch."

"What?! No, it's absolutely not going to work. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this will never work."

As soon as Yin Wei's voice fell, he was unanimously opposed by Hou Qin.

In particular, the nobles of various clans reacted the most violently, and some people even clamored to kill Yin Wei to thank the world.

Fortunately, Yao Chang didn't faint, he carefully pondered Yin Wei's suggestion in his heart, and felt that it was not unreasonable.

He waved his hand to stop the crowd from agitating everyone, and said with a smile: "It's acceptable to go to the emperor and hand over the table to the ministers, but the servants really think that the Eastern Jin Dynasty can contain Hexi?" ”

Yin Wei smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "The minister is not very sure, he can only say that there are six or seven points possible." ”

"Anyway, after all, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the number one power today, and Your Majesty can at least buy some time by borrowing its tiger skin for the time being."

"And Your Majesty can take the opportunity to appease the people inside, and the frontier outside, and when the time is ripe, then unite with the Northern Wei Dynasty to enter Liang and Qin in the west."

Yao Chang pondered for a long time, and finally made the final decision.

"I think the two strategies can go hand in hand, on the one hand, send people to Longyou to connect the powerful and powerful, and on the other hand, continue to send people to the Eastern Jin Dynasty for help."
