Chapter 219: Gao Zhan's Legacy Helps Merge the State

"Uncle brought his nephew here, I don't know what to do?"

"Taizhen sit down first! Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my uncle has doubts and wants to ask Taizhen to solve my doubts. ”

"When Gao Changshi left, his uncle asked him for advice on the situation in the state. Later, Gao Changshi was entangled and had no choice, so he offered me a plan. However, this plan was too risky, and I never dared to make up my mind to implement it easily. ”

Wen Qiao heard that it was Gao Zhan's strategy, and couldn't help but be very interested, he admired Gao Zhan's ability, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? I don't know what Gao Changshi said to his uncle, which made you so embarrassed? ”

Liu Kun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Gao said that Tuoba Yilu is old, and once he dies, Tuoba Xianbei may no longer be as friendly to me as before. ”

This is very reasonable! Not to mention the Tuoba tribe, but there are fewer cases of people dying in the Central Plains? ”

Liu Kun shook his head when he heard this: "Well, I'm also worried about this!" No matter how greedy and arrogant Tuoba Yilu was before, he still helped Bingzhou a lot! It was Tuoba Yilu's help that allowed us to maintain the situation in front of us under the threat of Binh Duong. ”

"If it really happens in the future, as Mr. Gao expected, no matter which son of Tuoba Yilu succeeds to the throne, it is really difficult to predict whether the relationship between Tuoba and the Tuoba tribe will be maintained!"

Speaking of this, Liu Kun paused, smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, this is not the thing that worries me the most, Gao Changshi once reminded me that in the future, with the death of Tuoba Yilu, it is very likely that there will be a civil strife in the Tuoba tribe around the position of Da Danyu." ”

"How so?!"

At this time, Wen Qiao could no longer maintain his composure, just because he had never cared much about the internal affairs of the Tuoba tribe, but he didn't know much about the dirty relationship between Tuoba and his son. was exposed by Liu Kun today, how could Wen Qiao not lose his temper? ! In the event of civil strife in the Tuoba tribe, there will definitely be no time to pay attention to the annexation of the state, if Liu Cong takes the opportunity to attack. How can you cope with the strength of the merger state alone? Next, Yangqu and Jinyang will be in danger, how can he not be in a hurry?

"You're shocked, aren't you? To be honest, my uncle couldn't believe it when he first heard Mr. Gao talk about it! But after calming down, and thinking about the information that Mo Han secretly transmitted back before, I suddenly discovered that there were really hidden dangers within the Tuoba tribe. Mo Zhen also mentioned it before, saying that Tuoba Yilu is very partial to his youngest son Tuoba Biyan. He intended to pass on the position of Da Dan Yu to his youngest son Tuoba Biyan after a hundred years. ”

In order to allow Tuoba Biyan to take over the throne smoothly, Tuoba Yilu did not hesitate to levy the people to build the southern capital - Xinping City in the north of Xuanshui, and under the pretext of being in charge of the southern tribes, he kicked his eldest son Tuoba Liuxiu out of the northern capital Shengle and sent him to Xinping City to guard. I heard that Tuoba Liuxiu was very dissatisfied with this, and often complained. ”

Hearing this, Wen Qiao said with hatred on his face: "Abolishing the long and standing up the young is the way to take chaos!" I didn't expect Tuoba Yi Lu Yingming I, but when he got old, he was confused! That Tuoba Six Xiu is the right virtuous king of the Tuoba tribe, and his prestige in the tribe is very high. There are many supporters, and they are known as one of the two major powerful factions in the Tuoba tribe. ”

"No matter in terms of strength or prestige, Tuoba Liuxiu is the best candidate for the position of Da Dan Yu! If Tuoba Yi Lu dares to establish Tuoba Biyan as the next big Dan Yu, Tuoba Liuxiu will inevitably rebel! In this way, it seems inevitable that a rebellion will engulf the entire Tuoba tribe! In the event of civil strife in the Tuoba tribe, it is bound to be unable to help us and annex the state, and if Liu Cong takes advantage of the situation to attack, Jinyang and Yangqu will definitely not be guaranteed. ”

"Taizhen, what do you think if I write a letter to persuade Tuoba Yilu?"

The romantic thought in Liu Kun's bones is overflowing again. actually fantasized about persuading Tuoba Yilu to give up his plan to abolish Chang Liyu, but Wen Qiao poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"Don't!" Wen Qiao explained with a serious face: "Uncle." In any case, this is Tuoba Xianbei's own business, and as outsiders, we should not interfere. Otherwise, it will make Tuoba Yilu misunderstand that you are a traitor with Tuoba Liuxiu, and it will not be good if any disputes are caused. ”

Liu Kun said with a dejected face: "Alas, you and Gao Changshi's opinions are the same!" At the beginning, Gao Changshi was also persuaded by the same. ”

"Uncle, Gao Changshi is far-reaching, I heard that Lord Wei is obedient to him. You must listen to what he has to say! ”

Wen Qiao was worried that Liu Kun would make another mistake with soft ears, so he did not hesitate to tell Liu Kun over and over again.

"Uncle, with the person in front of the scene, he has already seen the hidden dangers of the Tuoba tribe, so he must have left you with some countermeasures, right?"

"Hmm. Gao Changshi suggested that Bingzhou shrink its forces from the Jinyang front line as soon as possible, concentrate its troops in the Yangqu and Jiuyuan areas, and reduce the pressure on the frontal side of the Bingzhou army. In addition, in view of the fact that Yangqu was too close to the front line, Gao Changshi also suggested that I move the Thorn Shifu to Dingxiang. ”

Wen Qiao thought for a while before saying: "Throw away the broken Jinyang, which has no military value, and let us shrink the defense line and concentrate the limited forces together!" In view of the fact that Bingzhou has long been a strong foreign country, the policy offered by Gao Changshi is very good, and it should be implemented as soon as possible, what else can my uncle hesitate about? ”

At this time, Liu Kun showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, from a military point of view, Gao Zhan's suggestion was very good, but he had a last resort. The emperor had just promoted him to Sikong, the governor of Youji and the three states, and was counting on Liu Kun to win the battle and eliminate Hulu, but he abandoned the state administration in a blink of an eye - Jinyang City, how did he explain to the emperor and the court?

Wen Qiao was stunned for a moment, and instantly figured out the inside story, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with his uncle's character, he would never do anything to embarrass the court.

Liu Kun hurriedly promised: "Don't be disappointed, my uncle has his own plans in his heart." After a while, after the tide of the Holy Decree had passed, I began to arrange for the evacuation of Xiang Dingxiang. ”

"Uncle, in the face of a God-given opportunity, doesn't Mr. Gao have other ideas?"

Hearing Wen Qiao's question, Liu Kun was full of confusion and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Wen Qiao couldn't help but muttered to himself: "I don't know what Gao Changshi said to his uncle before leaving, which made him so embarrassed." ”

After about a cup of tea, Liu Kun pointed to the north and said: "Gao Changshi said that the road to the south of Bingzhou has been blocked by Liu Cong; To the west, after crossing the Yellow River, it is the territory of the Jin Dynasty; To the east is the endless Taihang Mountain, even if the state successfully crosses the Taihang Mountain, it will face the Xiangguo Shile, which is even stronger than Liu Cong. ”

Therefore, Gao Changshi said that the real way out of Bingzhou is in the north! As long as there is civil strife in the Tuoba tribe, the opportunity to merge the state to the north will come. At that time, as long as the two states cooperate and send troops to the north and Dai at the same time, even if the Tuoba tribe cannot be divided, at least the previously lost land can be recovered. ”

"As long as Tuoba Xianbei can be annexed, the strength of the annexed state will inevitably increase greatly, and then he can wave his army south to conquer Pingyang. Youzhou can also take the opportunity to send troops to Jizhou, and the two armies will work together to suppress the Hu people in the narrow area of the Central Plains in one fell swoop. If you add the two armies of Guanzhong and Jiangzuo, you can surround the Hu people from all directions, and maybe you can take the opportunity to gather the Hu people on the land of the Central Plains. ”

After listening to Liu Kun's strategic layout, Wen Qiao was also shocked. Not to mention the unreliable friendly forces in Jiangzuo and Guanzhong, whether they are secluded and work together to carve up Tuoba Xianbei, or send troops to fight for capture at the same time, they all have great operability.

I saw a gleam in Wen Qiao's eyes, and his face was full of eagerness, "Lord ......"

"Taizhen, don't forget that the Tuoba tribe has not helped the state. Taking advantage of people's danger is not a gentleman's doing! The Tuoba tribe is about to have civil strife, and I don't want to say help, but I am still plotting to annex my allies. If you let the heroes of the world know, what should you think of me Liu Kun? Wouldn't Kun I's reputation be ruined?! ”

Wen Qiao retorted unwillingly: "But ...... But don't forget, my lord, it was the 'good ally' Tuoba Yilu in your mouth who forcibly occupied the two places of Shanbei and Dai, which shows that he is not a kind person! ”

"Uh......" In the face of Wen Qiao's rebuttal, Liu Kun was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say: "It's too true, it's too true, you let your uncle think about it!" In a few days, in a few days, my uncle will definitely give you the result. ”

"This ...... All right! Wen Qiao sighed and left. (To be continued.) )
