In the winter of 393 A.D., Yao Chang, a generation of male males, finally died.

Although Hou Qin had been prepared for this for a long time, his death still caused a lot of shock!

Countless people are looking to the west with frightened, confused, and excited eyes, waiting for the Hexi army to leave Longshan in the east.

For many careerists, Yao Chang's death was not only an opportunity for Hexi to enter Guanzhong, but also the biggest opportunity for them to grab benefits.

Therefore, all of a sudden, all parties inside and outside Guanzhong were ready to move.

Countless people are waiting and looking forward to seeing when Hexi will raise troops to the east.

People with such thoughts, tribes with such thoughts, I don't know how many there are in the territory of Hou Qin!

Therefore, after Yao Xing ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to plan to go east, in order to take the opportunity to achieve the purpose of deterring the small and stabilizing the inside and outside.

At this time, after Qin's eastward expedition, the momentum was naturally not as good as that of Qin Dong's expedition before that year.

At that time, under the rule of Wang Meng, the former Qin grew in power, and went east to the Central Plains and Hebei in order to unify the north.

Later, Qin raised troops to the east, because the Later Qin had already reached a consensus: once Hexi rose and the east entered Guanzhong, Later Qin would be in danger.

With this consensus, Hou Qin's next step to consider is: is it to strictly defend and try to resist stubbornly?

Or should we take the initiative to attack and take advantage of the time when Hexi is recuperating and taking the Central Plains and Hedong in the east?

On this issue, the Later Qin Dynasty was divided into two factions.

Originally, when Yao Chang was alive, he relied on his own prestige to forcibly promote the eastward expansion strategy.

But now with Yao Chang's death, those opponents jumped out one after another.

Most of these opponents were the leaders of the Qiang tribe who had taken refuge in Later Qin, and all the tribes were located in the northwest and were most threatened by Hexi.

Zhao Yao, Wang Qinlu, Niu Shuang, Di Guang and other Qu Shuai Haoqiang knew very well that the eastward shift of the center of gravity of Later Qin would inevitably weaken the investment on the western front, and their interests would also be damaged.

In case Hexi took advantage of the eastward transfer of the main force of Later Qin, they would definitely bear the brunt of it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they oppose the eastward march and advocate the westward defense.

Taking advantage of the period of attending Yao Chang's funeral, Zhao Yao and others made suggestions to Yao Xing, trying to prevent the army from going east.

"In recent years, Wei Shuo has won the hearts of the people in the northwest, and the soldiers and civilians are willing to die for it."

"And they regard my Hu as enemies, and they will not give up until they destroy us."

"At present, Hexi soldiers are strong and strong, and Wang Zhenxi, Du Jin, Li Wei and others will be their minions."

"I, Daqin, do not hesitate to pour the power of the country, I'm afraid I can't help Hexi."

"In this situation, Your Majesty should act safely and defend the line of Longshan to prevent Hexi from invading Guanlong, and should not risk attacking the Central Plains and Hedong."

"In case when Your Majesty goes east, Hexi will attack with heavy troops, won't my Great Qin be in danger?"

"At that time, the move to the east will inevitably become a cause for trouble, burying the foundation of Daqin."

Regarding the worries of Zhao Yao and others, Yao Xing, the new monarch who advocates taking the initiative, is not unseen.

On the contrary, he has almost the same opinion as Zhao Yao and others on this point, but he has come to a completely different conclusion.

"Since General Zhao already knows that Hexi is powerful, why do you still persuade me to wait for death?"

"Continue to be trapped in the pass, just sit and wait for death."

"When Hexi vacates his hand in the future, how can we seek self-protection at that time?"

"Instead of this, it's better to fight hard, maybe there is a glimmer of life."

Zhao Yao said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the offensive and defensive trends are different, and the results are naturally different." โ€

"With it to attack, Daqin may not be able to defeat one of the many famous generals in Hexi."

"On the contrary, if it is used to defend it, even if the Dadu Escort Shuo personally leads the army, it will not be easy to destroy my Great Qin. ใ€ๆ„›โ†‘ๅŽปโ–ณๅฐโ†“่ชชโ–ณ็ถฒ Qu ใ€‘"

Hearing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yao Xing's mouth, and he sneered at Zhao Yao and the others for their arrogance.

"Maybe it's not easy, don't forget, Hexi's strength is far greater than that of Great Qin, if the two sides continue to consume, it will be a matter of time before Great Qin will fall."

"Your Majesty thinks twice, if you stick to it, you may be able to survive and attack in vain, I'm afraid that the death of the country is just around the corner!"

"Yes, Your Majesty think twice, don't be impulsive."

In the face of the persuasion of those heroes and commanders in the west, Yao Xing was unmoved.

He could see clearly that for Hou Qin, there was no other way out except to go east and give it a go.

"I'd rather let it go than sit back and wait!"

"Your Majesty is magnificent!" Yao Xing's ambition also made Yin Wei feel excited, and he stepped forward to show his support for Xinjun.

"As we all know, Hexi's desire to win Guanzhong is like Sima Zhao's heart."

"It can be said that after his death, Qin and Guan Long's heart will not die!"

"Over the years, why has Hou Qin been at peace? In fact, there is the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north, in order to lead the west of the river. โ€

"Now the King of Wei Tuoba Jue is deeply persecuted by Emperor Murong of Yan, and there is a faint intention of reconciliation with Hexi."

"Once the Qin-Wei alliance breaks down, may I ask the leaders, can you defeat Hexi with a heavy blow in a corner of Guanzhong?"

In the face of Yin Wei's questioning, Zhao Yao and other heroes of all ethnic groups were speechless.

"Dadu Guardian Shuo has great ambitions, often comparing himself to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and has long had the heart of mixing one in the universe"

"It is said that he once said to his confidants: wherever the Han family goes, the land is owned by the Han family."

"It can be seen that Wei Shuo is ambitious, and he regards Guanzhong as something in his pocket."

"If you don't take advantage of Hexi's busy internal affairs today, you will try your best to expand your strength by going eastward."

"When the Hexi Army marches eastward in the future, it will be the time when Chang'an falls."

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to emulate Murong Wei, and you don't want to die without a place to be buried, then it is imperative to expand the land eastward."

"As long as the Eastern Expedition goes smoothly and the land of Sizhou is taken, Hou Qin will have a population of 100,000 more people."

"Even if the Hexi Army comes to attack on a large scale in the future, resulting in the loss of the Western Front, you and I can still retreat to the Central Plains and deal with it."

"Okay, Yin Qing's words are deeply heartfelt."

"Dare to ask Yin Qing, how should the army go east?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should take Hedong as the top first."

"Hedong?"

I have to say that Yin Wei's suggestion greatly surprised Yao Xing's expectations.

Previously, he had been staring at Hongnong and Shangluo counties east of Tongguan, and had never paid attention to Hedong County on the north bank of the Yellow River at all.

"Why don't you go out of Tongguan to take Hongnong directly, but attack Hedong first? It's the territory of Xiyan, in case ......"

"Your Majesty is worried about attracting the Xiyan people?"

"No, it's not just Xiyan, I'm worried about Hexi, who is good friends with Xiyan."

"Even then, we'll have to take a risk."

"Oh, why is that?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the strategic location of Hedong is too important."

"It can be said that after Qin and Hexi, whoever occupies Hedong first will be able to occupy the initiative."

"Hexi has Hedong, so you can threaten Hou Qin from the east and completely block Hou Qin in Guanzhong."

"On the contrary, once Hou Qin preemptively occupies Hedong, not only will they seize important land in advance, but they will also be able to go south from the north to Hongnong and other places."

"Yin Qing is worried that Hedong will fall into the hands of Hexi? Can't you? I haven't heard that most of them have the intention of entering the three jins. โ€

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if."

"Hexi frequently interferes with Xiyan, and the ministers always feel that most of them have bad intentions, and it seems that they have already set their sights on the land of Sanjin."

"Taking advantage of the fact that Hedong nominally belongs to Xiyan, we might as well strike first."

"Moreover, the Liu family is the real master of Hedong, and it belongs to a semi-independent state."

"Later Qin sent troops to Hedong, even if Liu Gong, the head of the Liu family, asked Xiyan for help, Murong Yong might not send troops."

"In addition, the reason why the minister suggested attacking Hedong first is also because Xue Qiang, the prince of Fengyi County, was born in the Xue clan of Fenyin and has a huge influence on Pingyang County in the northeast of the river."

"At that time, the army can smuggle across Longmen and catch Hedong Liugong off guard."

"Okay, just follow the servant's intentions, and I will send troops to attack the Dragon Gate."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Ahh

When Zhang Teng, who returned to his eldest son, reported Hexi's request to Murong Yong, he was so angry that he screamed.

"Everyone, tell me whether we should cut this land or not?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak rashly.

This time it is not as good as the last time Linshui County was ceded, after all, it is only a small remote county in the northwest that is not taken seriously, and if it is cut, it will be cut, so it is not a big deal.

Xihe County is different, although it is only a small county, and the territory is full of hus and people's livelihood, but the location is quite important.

With the West River in hand, Luliang Mountain lost its original barrier role.

If necessary, the Hexi Army could go north from the West River to Taiyuan, the east to Shangdang, and the south to Pingyang.

Zhang Teng ignored the arguments in the court, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, constantly thinking about how to persuade Murong Yong to accept Hexi's conditions.

At this moment, suddenly a guard hurriedly broke in and shouted: "King, Hedong Taishou Liu Gong is in a hurry!" โ€

"Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing sent the general Yao Xu to command 30,000 troops to attack Longmen, and now the army is forcing towards the east of the river." Reading, a better reading experience.
