Ashina Huo'er looked at the East Turkistan Liaobu on the case in front of him in a daze, which should now be called the letter of state submitted by the Tujin Kingdom, his face was flushed, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long ago, when he was busy with "internal affairs" and was anxious to "pacify" the various branches of the Ashina family in Tongwan City, he brazenly announced the founding of the country, and Ashina Wolf Qing directly proclaimed himself emperor. Ashina Wolf Qing, a cunning old wolf, is accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder. When the Great Khan of Tuliao Ashina Iron Law was strong, he groveled, pretended to take refuge wholeheartedly, and secretly preserved his strength.

As soon as Emperor Taizu of the Tuliao State was defeated by the Dingbei garrison, this cunning old wolf immediately showed reflex and became reluctant to obey orders. At that time, Ashina Wolf Qing and his 100,000 elite cavalry of Eastern Turkistan Liao had been plundering in the eastern part of the rich Pingzhou Dynasty, and had been finding various excuses to delay and refuse to support Emperor Taizu Gao.

Later, the Golden Wolf cavalry was defeated by the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, and even Fan Guoshi, the biggest reliance of the Tuliao State, was severely damaged. Seeing this, Ashina Wolf Qing not only refused to support, but also took the opportunity to take a large amount of looted wealth and wanted to retreat to the grassland first. In the end, Emperor Taizu Gao did not hesitate to turn his face and sent the elite Golden Wolf Cavalry to intercept him halfway, leaving 50,000 Eastern Turkistan Liao cavalry, and the matter was over.

But since then, Ashina Wolf Qing has always secretly hated the Tuliao Kingdom in his heart, hated the Golden Ashina family, and began to have the intention of self-reliance. According to rumors, when the Taizu of the Tuliao Kingdom died, he drank until he was drunk that day, and then he sang and danced happily for several days in a row.

Now, Ashina Wolf Qing, who had been preparing for many years, had finally waited for the opportunity, and the city of Tongwan was once again in chaos, and its strength was further weakened. Ashina Wolf Qing, who is already in his fifties, finally decided not to wait any longer and seized this opportunity to establish a country and become emperor.

To be honest, in fact, Ashina Huo'er has always looked down on Ashina Wolf Qing. Although Ashina Langqing was the dignified patriarch of the Eastern Turkistan Liao Clan, he was one of the three major constituent tribes of the Tuliao State back then. But Ashina Huo'er, who was born in a small branch, has always looked down on him, and the strength of the Eastern Turkistan Liao was obviously not weaker than that of the Qiliao Department, but because he was afraid that Fan Guoshi would come with the golden wolf cavalry, he first admitted his cowardice and agreed to merge into the Tuliao tribe. Now as soon as he saw that the Qiliao Department was weakened and the Golden Ashina family was weak, he jumped out again to stand on his own.

This is completely anti-bones, and there is no faith at all. Therefore, Ashina Huo'er, who claimed to be a loyal minister of the Tuliao State, looked down on the capricious Ashina Wolf Qing very much.

But now, Ashina Wolf Qing, who has always made Ashina Huo'er look down on, actually used the emperor's tone to hand over a letter of state to the emperor of Tuliao State. How can the fire in Ashina Huo'er's heart be suppressed. Somehow, since becoming the regent, Ashina Huo'er's anger has become more and more prosperous along with his power.

was furious in his heart, but Ashina Huo'er was still able to stand up to the regent's shelf, and did not draw a knife to cut off the few cases in front of him in front of a group of ministers.

Suddenly raised his head to discuss the matter, but Ashina Huo'er found that he had no one to discuss.

Now the important ministers that Ashina Huo'er has to use in front of him are all the rising stars of the Ashina family that he selected from the Golden Wolf Cavalry to be loyal to him. Through this turmoil, Ashina Huo'er has understood a truth, only his own relatives are the most reliable. After the death of Ashina Zumastiff, all the people who came to make trouble were his relatives, and most of the other Ashina people who called him brothers and sisters had already sneaked away halfway.

It's a pity that Ashina Huo'er still suffers from the lack of reading. Haven't you read that the most capable of deceiving people are often relatives?

No, Ashina Huo'er has already been pitted by his relatives.

The brothers in the Ashina Huo'er family are all a bunch of reckless men, and they are very desperate to fight and kill, but they don't know anything about these government affairs and conspiracies.

So Ashina Huo'er is now, looking at the court full of his cronies, in fact, no one can share his worries at all, and all military and government affairs are basically pressed on Ashina Huo'er's own shoulders. As for Fan Guoshi, since he died not long ago, he has been honestly nesting at home, closed doors, and has long been ignorant of court affairs.

After becoming the regent, Ashina Huo'er began to subconsciously want to monopolize power and grasp military and political affairs. Under his manipulation, these days, Fan Guoshi has long been unable to see any recitals, and has been completely set aside.

After all, Ashina Huo'er held the power of the army, and under the threat of iron hooves and scimitars, Fan Guoshi and the Pingzhou officials under his control did not dare to act rashly at all.

At the beginning, the powerful Ashina Huo'er was full of energy, nourished by the wonderful taste of power, and he really handled everything vigorously. But after being so busy for more than a month, he finally found that he was too busy, and he had to be busy until the middle of the night every day, and even so busy that he didn't even have time to enjoy the wine and beauty.

This is not Ashina Huo'er's original intention, the eldest husband should be in charge of the world, and then enjoy the wine and beauty to live up to the power that has been obtained with a lot of effort.

How can this once be in power, it is not as much free time as before. Don't spend time dealing with government affairs in person, and don't worry, but you can spend time dealing with it, and you're so busy that you don't have time to enjoy it.

In desperation, Ashina eventually followed the path of other dictators, and began to promote his relatives in an attempt to get them to help him with the tedious and trivial affairs of the government.

However, it is a pity that although Ashina Huo'er's brothers and uncles are quite brave in battle, they can't read a single word, so they can't help him deal with government affairs at all, so they can only make a mess of things. As for the military power, Ashina Huo'er will never let others get involved easily, and no matter how busy he is, he must firmly hold it in his own hands.

Fortunately, Fan Guoshi's previous foundation for government affairs is good, and in the past month or so, although the regent Ashina Huo'er has made a mess of political affairs, there has been no big mess in the end.

But this time, when the real trouble came, Ashina Huo'er suddenly found that he really couldn't do without Fan Guoshi, and the large group of relatives in front of him was not really useful at all.

Ashina Langqing, the emperor of the Tujin Kingdom, sent a letter of state this time, inviting the emperor of the Tuliao Kingdom to hunt together in the winter, and to discuss the formation of an alliance to resist the northern garrison.

This is not a trivial matter, at present, the army of the North Garrison Regiment is pressing, and it is not easy for Ashina Huo'er to defend the garrison regiment, and it is even more difficult to divide troops to guard against the Jin Kingdom. Ashina Wolf Qing took the initiative to ask for an alliance, although he didn't know the reason, but Ashina Huo'er felt that it was definitely a good thing.

When Ashina Huo'er asked his relatives how to handle this matter, the gang of sculptors stared at each other and couldn't come up with a charter at all. The best way for these relatives to spit out is to bring heavy troops and threaten them with force to avoid losses. Ashina Huo'er was right, but he said in his heart: "Of course this king knows that he should bring troops to go, and he still uses your nonsense!" ”

A group of courtiers deliberated for a long time, but no one came up with a workable charter. Although Ashina Huo'er had some thoughts in his heart, he knew that the matter was very high, and he had to find a suitable person to discuss it safely before he could act, and he must not act rashly. At present, it is not known whether Ashina Wolf Qing really has the intention of forming an alliance, and if he makes a mistake, he will either fall for his tricks or miss the best opportunity to form an alliance with the garrison. Either way, Ashina Hu'er was unwilling to accept it.

Ashina Huo'er thought about it, and there was only one person in Tuliao who could discuss this important matter.

In the end, Ashina Huo'er had to summon Fan Guoshi to discuss the matter.

On the other hand, Fan Guoshi can make Ashina Huo'er inseparable from him, and his wrist skills are also quite high.

Although Fan Guoshi has been idle at home for more than a month, none of the Pingzhou officials he has mastered have ever turned their backs on him, and they have secretly reported every move in the court to Fan Guoshi through various channels.

Some of the detailed works in Fan Guoshi's hands monitored these Pingzhou officials on the one hand, and helped them pass on the news to Fan Guoshi on the other.

On the night Ashina Huo'er received the letter of the Tujin Kingdom, Fan Guoshi already knew the news. At that time, he couldn't help but smile and said to Fan Zhongju: "In less than three days, Ashina Huo'er will definitely send someone to invite his father to give him advice. ”

Fan Zhongju was worried about his father's loss of power at the time, and he didn't listen carefully at all. Fan Zhongju is still young after all, and he doesn't know how powerful his father is.

Sure enough, the next day, Ashina Huo'er sent someone to Fan Guoshi's mansion to give a heavy reward. Fan Guoshi knew that this was Ashina Huo'er, who wanted to appease his dissatisfaction with being seized from power.

With a smile on his face, Fan Guoshi was calmly rewarded, as for what he was thinking, I am afraid only he knew.

Then, on the third day, the regent palace sent someone to invite Fan Guoshi to discuss the matter. After sending his father on the horse in a daze, Fan Zhongju couldn't help but rush back to the house and jumped high on the spot.

Fan Guoshi's first suggestion to Ashina Huo'er was not related to this hunt, but suggested that Ashina Huo'er should send scouts first to reconnoiter the latest movements of the Dingbei garrison.

It is worthy of being a scheming and calculating, when others are still thinking about whether this alliance with East Turkistan Liao is true or false, Fan Guoshi has already seen the fundamental reason behind it.

The Dingbei garrison regiment is known to the whole world, and if it wants to destroy the Tuliao people, the Eastern Turk Liao is obviously among them, and there is no reason to be spared. Ashina Wolf Qing, a cunning old wolf, knew that if Tongwan City was breached, it would inevitably be his turn to Tujin Kingdom next, so he was very wise to restore the alliance with Tongwan City after the founding of the country.

Others are angry that Ashina Wolf Qing has established himself as the emperor, so naturally they can't think of this layer. From the first battle to the present, the Dingbei garrison has never suffered a defeat, and it has defeated the opponent every time. Ashina Wolf Qing inevitably felt lonely in the face of such a terrible opponent, so he naturally wanted to pull a companion with him, and the Tuliao Kingdom was undoubtedly his best alliance partner.

Fan Guoshi has nothing to do at home these days, but he can calm down and analyze the situation, so he can naturally see this.

Then Fan Guoshi admonished Ashina Huo'er that it was not the cavalry of Eastern Turkistan Liao that should be vigorously guarded against, but the Dingbei garrison regiment. Eastern Turkistan Liao looks strong, but in fact, its combat power is limited, and Ashina Wolf Qing has always given priority to preserving his own strength, and if he is not completely sure, he will never dare to take the initiative to provoke a war with the Tuliao State.

Now that the Dingbei garrison has advanced to within a thousand miles of Tongwan City, if it leaves the city at this time to reunite with the Tujin Kingdom, in case the Dingbei garrison sends elite cavalry to raid, I am afraid it will lead to unpredictable consequences.

After all, the Dingbei garrison regiment once did a light cavalry raid. At that time, the Tuliao State not only lost a small emperor, but also completely lost a large area of land and all the cities occupied in the pass. Today's Tuliao State can no longer afford such losses.

When Fan Guoshi was admonishing, he deliberately lowered his posture towards Ashina Huo'er and put on an attitude of a minister to a king. is worthy of being cunning and cunning, and the sycophants are filmed so without leaving a trace.

Ashina Huo'er looked at the obedient Fan Guoshi with satisfaction, and immediately sent a large number of elite scouts to start spying on the recent movements of the garrison.

However, no matter how many scouts he sent, they were like a stone in the sea, and he never brought back a single piece of useful information. The Tuliao scouts who ventured to approach the garrison battalion were all intercepted and killed.

Ashina Huo'er, who had been in the war for a long time, soon realized that the Dingbei garrison must be engaged in some secret operation, so he would keep the news so tightly sealed and vigorously intercept and kill the scouts.

After worrying and discussing with Fan Guoshi, Ashina Huo'er once again got a good solution. Fan Guoshi told Ashina Huo'er that it didn't matter if he didn't know what secret operations the Dingbei Garrison was doing. Because no matter what the Dingbei Garrison Group intends to do, the ultimate goal must be to unify Wancheng.

As long as the regent sits in the city of Tongwan and responds to all changes with the same, why not be afraid of the ghost tricks played by the Dingbei garrison. As for the alliance, there is no need for the regent to intervene in person. Fan Guoshi volunteered to escort His Majesty the Emperor with the Xuan Feng Cavalry to make an alliance with the Tujin Congress.

Ashina listened and hesitated. He felt that what Fan Guoshi said was the best way, and it was all the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, but somehow Ashina Huo'er was not worried about Fan Guoshi's going through this experience.

Seeing Ashina Huo'er hesitating, Fan Guoshi continued to advise.

Fan Guoshi first analyzed the situation. At present, the Dingbei garrison has been overwhelmed by a large number of troops, vowing to attack us. Although it is temporarily blocked by severe cold and heavy snow, when the snow melts in the next year, it will definitely be the time for a decisive battle. At this time, although the Eastern Turkistan Liao has been separated, we must draw them together to fight against the Dingbei garrison.

Fan Guoshi did not say that he could not block the Dingbei garrison regiment alone with the strength of the Tuliao State, but said that he would fight fiercely with the Dingbei garrison regiment at that time. If we do not form an alliance with the Tujin Kingdom, then the Tujin Kingdom will definitely not let go of the opportunity, and will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to annex us.

Therefore, it is better to re-ally with it now, and have an excuse to urge it to send troops to fight against the Dingbei garrison. In this way, the Tujin State will also lose a lot of troops, and it is not afraid that after the battle, the Tujin State will break the alliance and take the opportunity to make waves.

Fan Guoshi spoke thoroughly and had a clear view of the situation. Ashina listened to it, and couldn't help but nod again and again in his heart. But he didn't show half a point on his face, and pretended to be silent for a long time before he reluctantly agreed to Fan Guoshi's plan for his difficult points.

Fan Guoshi got up and was about to prepare to choose the front cavalry horse, but was stopped by Ashina Huo'er and said: "It doesn't hurt to go to the national teacher, the minister of the inner guard is the main force of the garrison in the city of Tongwan, and he can't leave for a while." ”

The Minister of Internal Guards, naturally refers to Fan Zhongju, the second son of Fan Guoshi, who is now in charge of the palace guards and concurrently serves as the commander of the Xuanfeng Cavalry. The meaning of Ashina Huo'er's words is also very simple, Lao Tzu took the emperor away, of course, he had to leave a son as a hostage, so that people could rest assured.

Fan Guoshi didn't even hesitate, he immediately slammed to the ground and said respectfully: "The regent is wise, bow down." ”

The last "minister", Ashina Huo'er was overjoyed when he heard it, and he laughed and watched Fan Guoshi leave.
