When Tuoba Yulu listened to Tuoba Hong's relay of what he had seen in Jicheng, he knew that Liaodong had made up his mind, and the Tuoba tribe was in a catastrophe this time.

"Da Danyu, this time Liaodong is menacing, we have to prepare early!" Tuoba Hong's face was anxious.

"Do you need to be reminded of this? Originally, I thought that by sacrificing some cattle, sheep and livestock every year, I could recuperate and live in peace for a few years, but it seems that I still underestimated the people of Liaodong. Da Sima has great ambitions, and he will never allow Tuoba Xianbei to recover his strength. ”

"Tuoba Hong, you immediately go north to the grassland to visit Murong Hao, invite him to lead the tribal cavalry to the south, and gather the strength of the two Xianbei tribes, this single Yu doesn't believe that he can't defeat the Liaodong people."

In this way, Tuoba Hong, who had just returned to Shengle, had to go north to the prairie again, and did not arrive at the Tuoba tribe until the end of the month.

A white tent stands out on the grassland at the foot of the Great Xianbei Mountain, not only because this tent is several times larger than ordinary tents, but also because of the group of fierce Xianbei warriors standing silently outside the tent.

These Xianbei warriors were covered in leather armor and carried a ring-headed sword around their waists, and they all wore scarves around the bottom of their faces to protect them from wind and sand.

All the Xianbei warriors stood with their backs to the big tent, forming a natural human wall about ten zhang away from the big tent, giving people the impression that even a small bird could not cross them and peep inside the big tent.

"I don't know what Tuoba Da Shan Yu is doing when he sends His Excellency here?"

Near the Great Tent, a cold voice could be heard coming from inside the Great Tent. If you open the big tent and take a look inside, you can find that Murong Hao, who escaped the pursuit of the Liaodong Army back then, is sitting on the main seat.

After years of experience on the grassland, Murong Hao is no longer handsome and chic, the whole person looks weathered, about thirty years old, in fact, he is only twenty-two years old. However, in the past few years, he has supported the development of the tribe alone, even if Murong Hao's ability is extraordinary, he still feels haggard.

Next to Murong Hao sat a sturdy and white-faced Xianbei man, who was Murong Hao's right-hand man, Murong Ren, the third eldest of the Murong family. At that time, Murong Diao and Murong Han, the boss of the Murong family, died in Liaodong, and only the two brothers escaped with their lives.

In the past few years, with the concerted efforts of the brothers Murong Hao and Murong Ren, the Murong tribe has gradually gained a firm foothold on the eastern side of Daxianbei Mountain, and at the same time, it has greatly expanded the strength of the tribe by conquering the surrounding weak tribes.

Murong Hao was wearing a bright fish scale armor on his body, and there was a ring-headed knife from Liaodong on his lap, he picked up a hot goat's milk and tasted it, closed his eyes and savored the unique milky fragrance in his mouth.

There was a bonfire burning in the center of the big tent, and the whole big tent was baked, only to see Tuoba Hong reach out and wipe the sweat on his forehead, and slowly said a word.

"Hong came to your place on the order of Da Shan Yu this time to discuss with Murong Da Shan Yu."

In order to fight against the Liaodong Army, Tuoba Yulu had no choice but to send envoys north to Daxianbei Mountain to unite with Murong Xianbei. Tuoba Hong was full of confidence in lobbying Murong Hao, there was a blood feud between the Murong tribe and Liaodong, and he didn't believe that the Murong brothers didn't want to seek revenge from Liaodong.

"Da Danyu, Liaodong has always treated my Hu people harshly, and now he intends to go north to Monan and try to exterminate all Hu tribes. The Xianbei tribe was originally the leader of Monan, and the first to bear the brunt of it would be brutally retaliated against by Liaodong. You and I must join forces to be able to defeat Liaodong, otherwise it is useless to run to Mobei, let alone Da Danyu hiding in Daxianbei Mountain. ”

"What? The Liaodong Army wants to go north to the grassland? Murong Hao couldn't help but get anxious when he heard this.

"That's right! Speaking of which, this matter is inseparable from the Murong tribe! ”

"Why is it related to my Murong tribe again?" Murong Hao looked puzzled, he had always followed Murong Diao's teachings, and had never taken the initiative to provoke Liaodong.

"Da Dan didn't know everything, your ministry continued to attack Fuyu to the east, causing the lord of Fuyu to send people to Jicheng for help, and Da Sima Weishuo was furious when he learned about it, and he decided to take the opportunity to go north to sweep the southern grassland."

Tuoba Hong's words are true or false, Liaodong did decide to go north because of Fuyu's request for help, but its primary target was the Hetao area south of Yinshan. As for the Monan grassland, Liaodong does not have such great ambitions. However, Tuoba Hong was obviously forcing Murong Xianbei to make the choice to go south.

Sure enough, when they heard Liaodong's intention to go north to the grassland, the brothers Murong Hao and Murong Ren suddenly became nervous. At present, the Murong tribe is concentrating on recuperation, and they never want anyone to disturb them, especially the powerful Liaodong. The Liaodong Army's northward march to the grassland will inevitably destroy the Murong tribe's plan to cultivate and recuperate.

"Please Murong Da Danyu think about it carefully, in the future, when the northeast of Liaobei goes to the grassland, can the Murong tribe stay out of the matter?"

Hearing this, Murong Hao's brows furrowed, and his heart was full of worry, the Liaodong army went north to the grassland, and the Murong tribe would never be pleased. Liaodong let him go once, and he will never let go of the second time. knew that it would provoke the Liaodong Army, so he didn't attack Fuyu in the first place.

"As long as you and I cooperate, plus the tribes of Monan, it may not be impossible to defeat the Liaodong Army!"

"What are Tuoba's plans?"

"It's very simple, gather all the forces of the Zhuhu in Monan, give full play to the advantages of our Hu cavalry, and have a cavalry decisive battle with the Liaodong Army in the field!"

……

As the time came to the second year of Taixing, the situation in the north became more and more tense, and both sides realized that a big war was coming. In this case, Wei Shuo ordered the first-line army and government soldiers in the north to enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to attack the Hu people at any time.

At the same time, in order to flank the Mo Nan Hu people, Wei Shuo prepared to send envoys to Mo Bei to form an alliance with the Rouran, Ele and other tribes, and harass and contain the Xianbei people from Mo Nan from the north.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the Hu people of all parts of Monan are frequently connected in tandem, and they have united to resist the intention of Liaodong. Liaodong cannot be indifferent to this, and I intend to send people to the Mobei grassland to unite the two Hu people of Rouran and Eile to attack Monan in the north and south. ”

"Due to the long distance of the envoy to Mobei, and the cold in the north, it needs to be both wise and brave and young and healthy, I don't know who dares to go to Mobei in person?"

"My lord, I am willing to go!" As soon as Wei Shuo's words fell, he heard a loud voice in the room.

Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out that Yang Yu, who was standing at the end of Wenchen, took the initiative to ask for help. As Yang Tan's nephew, Yang Yu was once deeply guided by him and was very interested in such a thing. Moreover, as the three young people of Huangfu Zhen, Yang Ju, and Xie Ai emerged one after another, Yang Yu felt great pressure, and he needed a chance to prove himself to the outside world.

Therefore, when he learned that Wei Shuo intended to choose a young man to serve as an envoy to Mobei, Yang Yu immediately realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come. Although it is dangerous to go to Mobei, the rewards are also huge, and once successful, it will be valued by Da Sima, which will be of great benefit to future development.

"Shilun's courage is commendable, Shuo's heart is very gratified, my young people in Liaodong should have the courage to not be afraid of all difficulties and obstacles like Shilun. Since Shilun intends to be an envoy, then I will test you well, take a step forward, I ask you: What are your plans for the envoy to Mobei? ”

"Distant friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and weak, this is the basic policy of the minister to the grassland, please correct the lord!"

Wei Shuo bowed slightly, and couldn't help but praise: "Shi Lun is really wise, he is worthy of being the nephew of the younger generation trained by Lord Yang, and he knows the envoy well. Okay, this time you will be the envoy to Mobei. ”

Going to Mobei is a chore, and older people are really not suitable. Only a young person like Yang Yu, who has a profound family background and is resourceful, can take on the heavy responsibility.

Everyone also saw Wei Shuo's intention to exercise and cultivate young people, only to see Pei Wei arch his hand and smile: "Shi Lun and Si Yang joined the army and are known as the Yang Clan's double soldiers, and at the same time, they are the most promising group of new scholars in Liaodong. ”

Many people present were envious of the Yang family, not only with Yang Tan leading the army in front, but also with Yang Yu and Yang Ju below, two younger generations, which almost guaranteed that the Yang family would not decline within two generations.

In a family like the Xiangyang clan in Liaodong, as well as the Huangfu family and the Pei family, basically as long as they don't make mistakes in principle, it is not a problem to maintain the wealth and power of the family within two generations. (To be continued.) )
