After the Spring Festival, in the midst of a farewell sound, the envoys of Central Asian countries embarked on their return journey.

Although he failed to invite Hexi to send troops, he successfully obtained the canonization of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, so that the envoys would not return empty-handed.

After the envoys of the Central Asian countries left, Rouran Khan was finally allowed to return to Mobei.

In addition, Wei Shuo also ordered the release of 10,000 Rouran captives and returned north with Rouran Khan.

With these 10,000 rejuvenated Rouran Iron Horsemen, it is enough for Yu Jiulu Shelun to control the situation.

After more than a month of brainwashing and training, Hexi has secretly rebelled against many Rouran people, and they will be the key to Hexi's balance of Rouran and control Mobei.

It's not that Wei Shuo doesn't want to take Mobei, but the time has not yet come, so he can only take the immediate method - remote control Rouran.

In this way, throughout the first half of the first month, Hexi was busy ushering in the send-off.

It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that everyone was idle, and Wei Shuo immediately gathered everyone together to discuss future development plans.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been ten years! Ten years have passed since the Gaochang incident. ”

"In the past ten years, with the assistance of everyone, Shuo has beheaded Lu Guang, entered Hexi, entered Shuozhou in the east, and went to Longyou in the south."

"Last year, I won the annexation of the state and the Western Regions in one fell swoop, which is all your work!"

"The lord's words are serious, and the ministers dare not take credit."

"Hahaha, I will gather you today, one is to remember the past with you, and the other is to look forward to the future."

"The past is the past after all, and no matter how glorious the past, it is now a thing of the past."

"We can be proud of the past, but we can't stop because we are complacent."

"Shuo hopes that in the next ten years, you and I will create new glories."

"The ministers (last generals) and others are willing to follow the capital to the death!"

"Good! With your help, why worry about big things?! ”

"Next, please speak freely about the future and talk about the immediate priorities and long-term plans."

As soon as Wei Shuo's voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Among them, Liu Muzhi smiled indifferently and said calmly: "At present, the top priority should be to stabilize the Western Regions and merge states. ”

"Needless to say, the Western Regions are also a good place to be."

"It borders Mobei in the northeast, Liangzhou in the east, and Tuyuhun in the south."

"As long as you hold the Western Regions, you can enter and exit the river, and you can shield Liangzhou when you retreat."

"Such an important place must be brought under control as soon as possible."

"Well, the Tao and his words are reasonable, but the Western Regions have their own culture and history after all, and I'm afraid there will be chaos for a while in a short time."

"Hehe, chaos is not terrible, anyway, there is a garrison in the local area, it's a big deal to kill all those diehards."

"Since I have set up a state county in Hexi, it is obvious that I want to occupy it for a long time."

"Some people who are not satisfied with Wang Hua should be sent to see the Great Tianzun, so as not to stay and get in the way."

"The Hulu people have always been afraid of power and morality, and when they are killed, they will naturally be honest."

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be!"

Listening to Liu Muzhi's last murderous declaration, no one present raised objections, but frequently bowed their heads.

"Killing must kill a batch, otherwise it will be difficult to manage."

Wei Shuo nodded first, echoed everyone's intentions, and then changed his voice again: "However, Huairou still wants to be Huairou, and strive to stabilize the Western Regions as soon as possible." ”

"In the future, the strategic center of gravity of Hexi is not in the west, at least until the pacification of Guanzhong, and the strategic center of gravity cannot be moved westward."

"Right now, Wei and Yan are about to move, and I don't know when a conflict will break out between the two sides."

"A few years ago, Shuo conveyed the conditions of Hexi to Houyan through Gao and Fu, and originally thought that Murong was forced to compromise with Hexi due to the tense situation."

"But after such a long time, there has been no movement, it seems that Murong Chui is confident that he will destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty in one battle, but it is a pity that he can't earn some population for the state."

"Humph! Most of the good intentions of the capital are in vain, and Houyan may still think that he is the number one force in the Northern Expedition. ”

"According to the latest intelligence, at present, the Yan State is secretly gathering troops and horses, and all ethnic groups in Liaodong have also been mobilized, and they are sharpening their knives and preparing to crusade against the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"Murong Chui, the king of Yan, will also go out in person, it seems that he will not give up until he captures and kills Tuobaju."

"Yan Guo made such a big move, and I don't know if the Northern Wei Dynasty can stop it." Cui Hong stroked his beard and said.

"It's hard to say, the Murong family has a lot of talents. Not to mention Murong Chui himself, just say that Murong De, Murong Kai, and Murong Nong are all handsome for a while. ”

"As long as Murong Chui is not stupid enough to reuse the waste of Murong Bao, Hou Yan will strike hard, and the Northern Wei Dynasty may not be able to stop it."

Cui Hao's father and son's words were unanimously agreed by everyone, and Wang Zhenwei continued: "That's true, Murong Chui uses soldiers like a god, if he personally goes out, it will be difficult for the Northern Wei Dynasty to take advantage of the head-to-head duel." ”

"During the Battle of Taibi that year, the minister gathered the forces of Hexi, Northern Wei, and Western Yan to reach a draw with Murong Chui."

"However, recently, there has been an undercurrent within Houyan, and the dispute between Murong Bao and Murong Lin for the heir may cast a shadow on this Wei Yan war."

"Woe to Xiao Wall, I think that Murong Chui was a hero, but he gave birth to two stupid sons, Murong Bao and Murong Lin."

"Especially that Murong Lin, although he is very capable, is a selfish person, and it is rumored that he is also inextricably linked with the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Wei Shuo's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think of Murong Lin's strange behavior in the battle of Shenhepi in history.

Regardless of his character, Murong Lin should be the one with more outstanding military talent among Murong Chui's sons.

At the beginning of Murong Chui's rebellion against Qin, it was Murong Linzhi who killed Fu Feilong and his Di cavalry.

Subsequently, Murong Lin made many military exploits in the campaign to pacify Hebei, and went deep into the grassland many times to help Tuoba Jue eliminate the Dugu and Helan tribes.

It is said that with these experiences, he cannot be said to know everything about Tuoba Jue, the grassland climate, and the power of the Wei cavalry, but he should also have a certain understanding.

However, it was such a far-reaching and treacherous general who did not make any insightful proposals in the battle of Shenhepi in history, except for constantly echoing the crown prince Murong Bao.

Even Murong Lin, who already had a contempt for Murong Bao at that time, actually said "His Highness Shenwu" from his mouth, which was obviously a lie.

Murong Lin uncharacteristically slapped the crown prince Murong Bao, who did not know the Wei army at all, and bragged about the bravery of His Royal Highness the crown prince, how powerful the Yan army was, how dare Suo Lu come to send him to death, etc., obviously with bad intentions.

I am afraid that the ambitious Murong Lin was already planning to be the emperor when he participated in the Hepi War.

He knew very well that once the army won, Murong Bao would successfully ascend to the throne with great prestige, which Murong Lin did not want to see.

On the contrary, if the defeat of the Wei army fails, Murong Bao's prestige will plummet, and then Murong Lin will have a chance.

Therefore, in history, he constantly instigated Murong Bao to go deep into the grassland to pursue the Wei army, and finally caused the main force of the Yan army to fall into the trap of the Wei army.

And although Murong Bao is cowardly and incompetent, he is not stupid, and he has a certain wariness of Murong Lin.

In the later stages of the Battle of Shenhepi, rumors about Murong Chui's death were flying all over the world, and because Murong Bao was concerned about his father's safety, he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Because he was worried that Murong Chui was dead, in order to prevent Murong Lin from returning to Zhongshan in advance to make trouble, Murong Bao disregarded the overall situation and let Murong Lin replace Murong De as the rear army.

As a result, Murong Lin deliberately relaxed his vigilance, and the history books said: "Murong Lin was arrogant, rode and hunted, and refused to equip himself."

So, under the continuous death of Murong Lin and Murong Bao, the main force of Houyan was finally buried in Shenhepi.

Thinking of this, Wei Shuo couldn't help but order: "Send people to keep an eye on Wei Yan and the two countries, especially Murong Lin and Murong Bao, and report them as soon as they find out." ”

After everyone talked for a while, the topic gradually shifted to Guan Zhong, and at the same time, all eyes were focused on Wang Zhenxi.

At that time, Wang Meng was the prime minister, and he governed Guanzhong for more than ten years, not only did the people of Guanzhong inherit his favor, but also left a lot of connections.

Waiting for this moment, Wang Zhenwei did not shirk, took out a letter from his arms, and presented it to Wei Shuo with both hands.

"Lord, this is a letter sent by Jingzhao Wei to the minister, the minister does not dare to be specialized, please take care of it."

Wei Shuo took the letter, didn't open it in a hurry, looked at Wang Zhenwei and asked puzzledly, "What is the relationship between Jingzhao Wei's and Zhenevil?" ”

"Most of the protectors don't know, the former Qin Donghai Taishou Wei Zhen is the uncle of his subordinates, after the collapse of the former Qin, he abandoned the official and returned home."

"Now that Hou Qin is about to fall, Wei obviously doesn't want to be buried with Hou Qin, so he has shown goodwill to the capital through his ministers, so as to save the family from being affected in the future."

Hearing this, everyone understood what it meant, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Jingzhao Webster's is a prominent family in Guanzhong, and with the urine nature of the family, it is not surprising that speculation at this critical moment is not surprising.

Wei Shuo sneered: "In the future, if Wei Zhen can help Hexi capture Guanzhong, Shuo will naturally not treat the Wei family badly." ”

"Of course, Hexi will not pin his hopes of seizing Guanzhong on outsiders, and everything has to rely on his own strength."

"As for the Guanzhong families who have extended an olive branch to Hexi, they might as well be with them first."

"It's best if they can help, it doesn't matter if they can't, anyway, Shuo doesn't expect them to do much."

"However, please tell Webster a sentence for Zhen Evil, and the reward for meritorious deeds in the future will depend on how much effort you make."

Speaking of which, Wei Shuo is too prejudiced against the family, and always thinks that the family is used to being a grass on the wall.

In fact, when Hexi destroyed Xiyan, the people of the Later Qin Dynasty were already panicked, and the discerning people knew that a catastrophe was coming.

Recently, there has been a phenomenon of soldiers fleeing and officials hanging crowns in Guanzhong, just like the scene of the end of the dynasty.

And Yao Xing devoted himself to the Buddha, entrusting all the government affairs of the DPRK and China to the crown prince and ministers.

To put it bluntly, Hou Qin's general trend has really gone.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the Maison clings to Hexi and seeks to protect itself.
