Those who go to the party are also named after their high praise of "Shangkan and the Heavenly Party".

When the huge waves of Taihang Mountain rose like emptying, a large area of lofty mountains was set off - that is, Shangdang Heights.

It threatens the Fenshui River Valley in the west, and has a bird's-eye view of the Handan Valley in the east, lying between the two major valley plains.

This highland starts from Wuxiang in the north, connects with Taihang Mountain in the south to Hanoi, and is more than 300 miles long from north to south.

From Shaoshui in the west, Zhangshui and Taihang Mountain in the east are integrated, and the east and west are more than 200 miles wide.

Shangdang is a mountainous area, with numerous rivers, staggered canyons, and vast forests.

Except for the entry and exit of the four gates, the entire Shangdang is like a closed place of the ancient times that has no holes and chaos.

It was precisely because of the unique geography of Shangdang that the Hexi Army could not quickly destroy Xiyan, and could only slowly press towards the eldest son step by step from the north and west.

In the spring of 394 AD, Dadu Huwei Shuo launched a war against Xiyan under the pretext of Hu Lu's cruelty to the Han people.

Zuo Sima Wang Zhenwei recovered Xinxing, Yanmen, Taiyuan and other counties with lightning speed, and then led an army of 20,000 to the south, approaching Shangdang from the north.

At the same time, the Dadu guard Shuoqin led 30,000 steps to ride out of the West River, from the northwest to the southeast to the West Yan Wangcheng - the eldest son.

At the beginning of March, the army of the South Road arrived on the west side of Huotai Mountain (present-day Taiyue Mountain), only a hundred miles away from the eldest son.

Just as General Wei Shuo led his army over Huo Taishan, there was news of Wei Yan's strike.

The external situation changed drastically, so he had to suspend his march on his eldest son.

"Why did Murong Trai and Tuoba suddenly make peace?"

"Most of the capital protectors, Wei Yan and the two countries can't move, and choosing to make peace at this time is also a last resort."

"The Battle of Youzhou seems to have the upper hand of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it also suffered a lot of losses."

"Besides, Murong Chui has returned, and Tuoba Jue has to weigh it even if he wants to fight."

"And although Murong Chui is unwilling to be occupied in Youzhou, he is forced by the great loss of Houyan's strength, so he can only suffer this loss first."

"However, peace between the two countries does not mean that the past grievances will be written off, don't forget that Youzhou is still in the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"In the future, there will be clashes between the two sides until one side completely falls."

"We will talk about the future in the future, but now we will only talk about the present: Will the boycott of the war between the two countries affect the Hexi party?"

"It's hard to say, let's wait and see what happens."

For some reason, when he learned that Wei Yan had reconciled, Wei Shuo's heart was beating for a while, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

From the bottom of his heart, he very much hoped that Wei Yan would fight, but unfortunately Tuoba Jue and Murong Trai were not fools.

People also knew that it would be a defeat for both sides to continue fighting, so they chose a temporary truce to recuperate.

……

The army of Hexi and Xilu was about to march under the city, shocking the Xiyan government and the opposition, and Murong Yong hurriedly summoned his henchman Li Xianhui to discuss countermeasures.

Since Zhang Teng's betrayal of Xiyan, although Murong Yong no longer trusts Han Wenchen, he alone trusts Li Xian.

Knowing that his eldest son was in an emergency, Li Xian immediately returned from Huguan day and night.

"Rong Ren has worked hard!"

Looking at Li Xian, who had a dusty face, Murong Yong couldn't help but feel distressed, and at the same time felt that there was a lack of talent under his subordinates.

Originally, there was a Zhang Teng available, but he didn't expect to run to Hexi.

Thinking of Zhang Teng, Murong Yong couldn't help but regret sending Li Xian to Huguan in the first place.

If Li Xian was in the court, he might not be played around by Zhang Teng.

It was only because of the three-party attack on Houyan at that time that he had to send the only person under his command to Huguan to sit in the town, which made Zhang Teng take advantage of the loophole.

"King Xie is very loving, and the ministers are not hard! This time, the ministers came from Huguan and Cheng Cheng to solve problems for the king. ”

"So Aiqing has a plan in her heart? But tell me, the widow listens to you. ”

"Enlighten my king, there are enemy troops outside the border today, and there are no reinforcements outside, this sincerity is in danger of survival!"

"If you want to solve the current difficulties, the only way is to do extraordinary things."

"Extraordinary strategy? What is an extraordinary strategy? ”

"Shangdang is a rare strategic place in the world, and Hexi and Houyan want to get it quickly."

"If Hexi can be the party, it can approach within 100 miles of Yecheng condescendingly, and the land of Hebei is even more open, and there is no danger to defend!"

"Similarly, if the party returns to Houyan, it is equivalent to giving Yecheng a strategic barrier, and its western part is equivalent to an insurmountable Great Wall."

"It can be seen that Shangdang is very important to Hexi and Houyan."

"Just looking at Wei Shuo personally leading the army to come, it shows that he attaches great importance to the party."

"King, the poor state is not a strange goods, and the party can't guard it, so it needs to take action in time!"

"Shot? How's the shot? And what did you mean by those words? I am confused about how the widow listens. ”

Li first glanced at Murong Yong, who had a haggard face, and did not rush to explain, but continued to say in a low tone: "Great King, it is not that the ministers deliberately increase the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige, it is really that Xiyan has reached the end of the road. ”

"If you don't take the risk, it won't be long before Xiyan will die in Hexi."

"Aiqing, you've been talking about dangerous schemes, dangerous schemes, what kind of dangerous schemes are you?" Murong Yong asked impatiently.

"The minister dared to ask the king to surrender to the king, and cut the land of the party, and handed the table to Emperor Yan to be a minister."

"What?! This, this, this ......" Murong Yong looked at Li Xian dumbfounded.

"The king should know that with the current situation, Xiyan is already in danger!"

"If you only ask for help with empty words, Murong Chui will definitely not be willing to take the risk to save Xiyan when he sees that he has shrunk into the party, and Xiyan will not be able to escape his fall."

"On the contrary, if the Shangdang is ceded to Houyan, and Murong Chui thinks about the Shangdang for a long time, he will send troops to help."

"At the same time, Hexi also wants to win the party, how can he let Houyan benefit?"

"At that time, the two countries will fight to win the party."

"If two tigers compete, the king can be a watcher!"

"If Yan wins in the end, the king may be able to use his power to go north to regain the lost territory."

"On the contrary, if Hexi still wins, the king can also flee east to Hebei and take refuge in Houyan."

"Murong Chui is grateful for the king's dedication to the land, and he will definitely treat the king well."

"Such a big king is expected to protect the whole country, and there is a way back to protect his life without worry."

"Ah~" Murong Yong couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and looked at Li Xian with a smile in his eyes.

"Aiqing is so planned, so planned! Tell me what to do next? ”

Listening to Li Xian's plan, Murong Yong suddenly swept away the haze of the days, and he also had some confidence in the future.

The two discussed all night, and early the next morning, Murong Yong sent an envoy to Zhongshan secretly.

……

Xiyan's request for a secret letter was quickly sent to Murong Chui's desk, and Murong Chui suddenly felt that this matter was not trivial, and summoned the prince, King Fan Yang and other ministers of the clan into the palace overnight to discuss.

Later Yan's civil and military ministers gathered together, and Murong Chui opened the sect with clear righteousness.

"The envoy of Xiyan entered the city yesterday, saying that the party was trapped, and he was desperate inside and outside, and he felt that the party was difficult to defend and wanted to cede to Houyan."

"Murong Yong also sent a secret letter to me, saying that he was willing to give up the dispute over legal system and bring the soldiers and civilians of Xiyan to surrender to Dayan."

"The stakes are very high, I don't want to be specialized, how to deal with it, and I ask you to do your part."

As soon as Murong Chui's voice fell, everyone present was surprised.

Even Murong Bao, who had a straight face all day long due to the defeat of Yi Shui, also had a big change in complexion.

Although Murong Yong is also regarded as the former Yan clan, because he established himself as the emperor, the Hou Yan people have long regarded him as a mortal enemy.

Unexpectedly, in desperation, he wanted to return to Houyan in the name of the same sect.

Let's not talk about anything else, the mere cession of the party made Hou Yan hesitate.

After all, the place of the party is too prominent and important.

Why did Xiyan give it to Houyan? Accept or not accept? What are the consequences? What about countermeasures?

With such a continuous plan that is interlocking, how can you suddenly figure it out?

For a while, the crowd was silent for a long time.

"The reason why Xiyan ceded Shangdang to Dayan is just like my country ceded Youzhou to Northern Wei, which is the trend of the times."

"If we don't cut the party, our country will definitely sit back and watch Hexi annex the party, and Xiyan will die!"

"Only in this way can the party form an alliance with my Dayan to resist Hexi."

"In this way, you may be able to use the power of Your Majesty to ensure that Xiyan will be safe for a while."

"Although Xiyan's plan comes from himself, it is beneficial to Dayan."

"Shangdang, it is a matter of the confrontation between Hexi and Houyan, whoever occupies this place will occupy the initiative."

"Although Houyan is strong, it is quite difficult to fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty alone."

"If we lose the land of merging states and going to the party, we will add another strong enemy to the west."

"In the future, if Hexi realigns with the Northern Wei Dynasty, my Dayan will be in danger."

"As far as the party is concerned, it is like the barrier of Yecheng, and for the future, it must be in our hands."

"Moreover, now that the Hexi soldiers are pressing the party, Xiyan is in danger, and Hou Qin is panicked."

"At this time, His Majesty came out to contact Qin Wei, and the two were forced to threaten by Hexi, and they must join forces."

"With the power of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Yan, are you afraid that you can't fight a Wei Shuo?"

Murong Chui listened to Murong De's words, and frequently bowed his head, and said everything to his heart.

In addition, Hou Yan had just ceded land to the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was when the morale of the army and the people was low.

Accepting the party at this time not only adds a strategic place out of thin air, but also boosts the morale of the people, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
