In 390 AD, in mid-October, Mobei Rouran suddenly raised heavy troops to the south. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the news reached Sheng Le and Shuo Fang, Tuoba Jue and Liu Weichen immediately realized that the war was about to begin.
Since October, the situation in the Hetao has become increasingly tense, and there have been several skirmishes between the Northern Wei and the Tiefu tribe.
Finally, on the 14th, the war began in full swing.
Soon after Rouran's southern invasion, Liu Weichen swore an oath in Dailai City, and his personal leader led 30,000 iron horsemen to Shengle.
The news reached Shengle, and the whole country of the Northern Wei Dynasty was shaken.
The enemy pressed the border from the north to the south, and some people saw that the situation was not good, thinking that the Northern Wei Dynasty would be finished, so they were very anxious and panicked.
Tuoba Jue, on the other hand, behaved unusually calmly, and did not take the enemy in his eyes at all.
He even thought twice about whether to kill a few people to deter people with bad intentions.
In the end, it was the right Changshi Zhang Yan who reminded him that the more dangerous the situation, the more he must calm down and not act rashly.
After carefully weighing it, Tuoba Jue accepted part of Zhang Yan's proposal and only killed the most troublesome of them.
However, in order not to let the situation escalate and disturb people's hearts, they warned the rest of the people.
After this treatment, the Wei State, which was originally panicked, instantly settled down.
After stabilizing the domestic situation, Tuoba finally freed up his hands to deal with foreign enemies.
According to the plan of the previous eldest grandson, Tuoba Jue left the right chief Shi Yanfeng, Jiuyuan Gong Tuoba Yi, and the general Tuoba Qu to guard Shengle.
And he personally led 50,000 iron cavalry to the north, set up a large camp of the Chinese army in Yinshan, determined to repel the Rouran people first, and then return to the division to conquer Liu Weichen.
Before leaving, Tuoba Jue pulled Yan Feng's arm, and Yin Yin admonished: "Changshi has rescued Tuoba in danger several times, and now the Wei Kingdom is in a desperate situation. Before the widow returns to the division, Liu Weichen must not be allowed to break through the thief. ”
"Please rest assured, there are old ministers in one day, and Shengle will be foolproof."
After bidding farewell to Yanfeng, Tuoba Yi, Tuoba Qu and other people who stayed behind in the civil and military, Tuoba Jue took Zhang Yan, Xu Qian, Xi Jin, Changsun Song and others and 50,000 iron horsemen to the north.
Seeing that King Wei was still worried, Zuo Changshi Zhang Yan couldn't help asking, "The king still can't let go of Sheng Le?" ”
"Yes, Liu Weichen is menacing, it seems that he will not be willing to fight Shengle."
"Great King, there are two forces attacking today, they are very powerful, and they must be divided and rejected."
"Liu Weichen and Rouran are both current enemies, but they have different desires."
"The Rouran tribe is barbaric and uncivilized, and all they seek is beautiful women and goods, and they have little interest in the land of Wei."
"But Liu Weichen is different, he not only wants to seize the land and population of Wei, but also wants to seize the throne of Wei."
Thinking of Liu Weichen's hateful face, Tuoba's facial muscles twitched, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
After a long while, he turned to Zhang Yan and asked, "Changshi is reasonable, what should I do now?" ”
"Rouran seems to be menacing, but in fact there is nothing to worry about."
"The king should take advantage of his unstable foothold and defeat him in a battle, so that Rouran can retreat to Mobei and no longer be a disaster."
"Then the main force returned to the division, cooperated with the Shengle defenders, and wiped out Liu Weichen's troops in one fell swoop, and then crossed the Yellow River to the east, and incorporated the Shuofang Tiefu tribe into the Wei system."
"Besides, if the king doesn't take the initiative to 'leave', how can Liu Weichen have the courage to go deep alone?"
"Well, Hong Longye, who knows me!"
Tuoba Jue bowed slightly, no longer had any worries in his heart, and at the same time became more and more satisfied with Zhang Yan.
Speaking of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it can be regarded as a wealth of talents, when Tuoba Jue took refuge in the Helan Department, there were 21 henchmen around him, known as Yuan Cong 21 people in history.
This was a major member of Tuoba during his exile and later became the cornerstone of the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
These twenty-one people are: Tuoba Suluo, Tuoba Qian, Tuoba Zun, Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Yao, Tuoba Yi, Tuoba Ta, Changsun Song, Changsun Fei, Yu Hechen, Lai Chuzhen, Yu Guzhen, Su Heba, Shusun Jian, Mu Chong, Xi Mu, An Tong, Wang Jian, He Yue, Yu Huan, Li Li.
Among them, the Shusun clan and the eldest grandson clan are one of the ten surnames of the Tuoba Xianbei clan, and the Helan clan and the Wang clan are Tuoba's in-laws.
It can be said that almost all of these twenty-one people are from the Tuoba clan or in-laws.
Some of these people have now become important ministers and generals in the country, such as Tuoba Lie, Changsun Song, An Tong, Wang Jian, etc.
But there are also a small number of people who were killed for participating in the rebellion, such as Yu Heng and others.
Although Zhang Yan was not born in Yuancong's confidant, he was also born on behalf of the land, and because he was proficient in political affairs and strategy, he has always relied on Tuoba Jue, and was appointed as the left chief historian, and shared the confidential position with the right chief Shi Yanfeng.
When he arrived at the Yinshan camp, Tuoba Jue summoned the generals to discuss the enemy's strategy, he looked around, and swept over Changsun Song, Xi Jin, Tuoba Qian, An Tong, Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Zun and others one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhang Yan.
"Long history, do you have a quick retreat?"
"If you want to defeat Rouran in a short period of time, you need to use strange soldiers. There is a risky plan below, I don't know if the king dares to try it? ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Seeing that Zhang Yan was full of confidence, Tuoba suddenly became interested.
"Today, Rouran has traveled thousands of miles to come, and his foothold is not stable, but he did not expect the king to dare to lead the iron horse north."
"Please bring three days of dry food, abandon the baggage, surprise, double the way to attack it, he will be scattered, and its momentum will be overwhelming."
After hearing this, Tuoba Jue thought deeply, and said to the left and right: "Yan strategy is long-term, and it is not within the reach of foolishness. ”
……
As Tuoba Jue led the main force of the Wei army northward, the domestic defense was in vain, and Liu Weichen almost did not encounter decent resistance, so he marched all the way to Shengle City.
Fortunately, at this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty had not yet broken away from the nomadic habits, except for the people in Shengle City, the rest of the herdsmen had already driven their cattle and sheep to the east, so the losses were not serious.
At this moment, Liu Weichen was standing under Shengle City with great ambition, he pointed to the tall city wall of Shengle, and said to Liu Zhili in high spirits: "Take Shengle and eliminate the Northern Wei Dynasty, this will be the king city of the great tribe Xiongnu in the future." ”
"The achievements of my Tiefu Department are all due to the planning of my father Khan."
"If you have the merit of destroying Wei, Father Khan should be side by side with Mao Dunshan."
Liu Weichen, who was flattered by his son, couldn't find the north, patted Liu Zhili on the shoulder with satisfaction, and pretended to be modest: "How dare my father compare with Mao Dunshan, I just want to do the same as Liu Yuan's father and son, and I will be satisfied." ”
"Now that Tuoba Jue is going north to deal with the invasion of Rouran, Shengle's troops are empty, and it is a good opportunity for our troops to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"Pass the order, the army will quickly attack the city, strive to take Shengle as soon as possible, and capture Tuoba Jue alive!"
Soon, Liu Weichen's army under Shengle City sounded, "Take Shengle and capture Tuoba Jue!" Hearing the shouts of the Northern Wei Dynasty at the head of the city, the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty were indignant, and they asked to go out of the city to teach the Tiefu people a lesson.
Only Shi Yanfeng, the chief of the right, was unmoved, and only stared coldly at Liu Weichen under the city without saying a word.
The generals clamored for a while, and when they saw that Lord Changshi didn't speak, they gradually quieted down.
Yan Feng once assisted the acting king Tuoba Shiyigan, and when the Dai country was destroyed, he used clever tricks to leave Tuoba Jue behind, laying a solid foundation for Tuoba Jue's restoration in the future.
Therefore, don't look at Yan Feng as a Han person, but his identity and qualifications are enough to suppress everyone present, even Tuoba Yi, the general of the clan, is also respectful, and he will not dare to attack rashly.
"The generals will guard the four gates according to the order, and they are not allowed to go out of the city without permission to meet the enemy, and those who violate the order: behead!"
……
The news of Tuoba Jue's fight with Liu Weichen soon spread to Guzang.
Wei Shuo was excited when he learned about it, and the long-awaited news in Hexi finally appeared.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed!"
"Once there is Shuofang, you can enter the Guanzhong to the south, and you can take the Hetao to the north, and Hexi will be invincible."
"The minister asks the lord to send troops quickly, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard."
"Everyone, everyone, don't worry, don't worry, and listen carefully."
Wei Shuo stretched out his hand to calm down the generals one by one, and then said loudly: "The battle of Shuofang, Hexi has been planning for a long time, and there must be no mistakes!" Before sending troops, you must keep secrets, and if anyone accidentally leaks information, you should be dealt with by military law. ”
"The Military Division immediately secretly mobilized troops to Wei'an, and once the situation changed, the army should quickly cross the river and march eastward."
"The last general will obey."
After listening to Wei Shuo's arrangement, all the generals in Hexi felt excited, and they were ready to do a big job.
