In fact, it is not only Liu Yao and Jin Zhun who secretly covet the power of Han and Zhao, but even Liu Yi, the emperor's younger brother who has become a transparent person before, is also ready to move. When Liu Cong was healthy and Liu Cang was alive, Liu Yi never had the courage to touch the throne, but at this point, he couldn't help but move under the encouragement of his henchmen.

Taifu Cui Wei and Taibao Xu Yao persuaded Liu Yi: "Back then, the Han Emperor took you as the emperor's younger brother, not out of sincerity, but because he rebelled against the throne and made you the emperor's younger brother, which can appease the hearts of the people and win over the people." However, Your Majesty has never planned to let you inherit the throne, otherwise Your Majesty would not have canonized Liu Cang as the king of Jin and led the post of prime minister to assist the government. ”

"Since Emperor Wu of Wei, as long as he is the prime minister, he will be the emperor later, and as long as he is named the king of Jin in the future, he will definitely ascend the throne. If nothing else, Liu Cang will definitely ascend to the throne in the future. And Your Highness, I think you will not only fail to be the emperor, but I am afraid that you will also be killed. ”

"Fortunately, God has treated you well, and now His Majesty is terminally ill, and Liu Cang, the king of Jin, died unexpectedly, and His Highness's opportunity has come! If you really want to be the emperor, your subordinates will give you an insurance idea. I promise that you will be the emperor, do you listen? ”

Liu Yi was very happy when he heard it, "What idea?" ”

"Now there are only 5,000 elite soldiers in Pingyang City, taking advantage of Liu Cong's illness, His Royal Highness might as well secretly transfer the elite of the Di tribe to the outside of the city, and wait for the night to be unprepared, quietly open the city gate, and the Di cavalry will immediately enter the city and break through the palace gate, when the time comes, as long as Liu Cong is killed, and then put under house arrest, the throne will not be within reach?"

……

When the news of the Jin Dynasty's canonization of Tuoba Liuxiu as the king of Wuyuan County reached the grassland, Tuoba Pugen could no longer sit idly by. He originally thought that the strategic center of gravity of Liaodong was in the Central Plains, and he should not interfere in Tuoba internal disputes.

However, Wei Shuo's request for the title of the king of the county for Tuoba Liuxiu has clearly demonstrated Liaodong's determination and ambition to intervene in Tuoba's internal affairs, and Tuoba Pugen is deeply wary of Liaodong.

"Mother, the child has decided to send troops to fight for Sheng Le next year! It's just that Tuoba Liuxiu is a vassal to the Jin family. The child was worried that sending troops to attack Shengle would attract retaliation from the Liaodong army. My mother has always been resourceful, I don't know if I can teach me? ”

Tuoba Pugen's mother, Weishi, was a woman under forty, and unlike the small family Jasper in Jiangnan, she was beautiful and heroic, and her face was cold. is not angry and arrogant, and is the key figure of the Tuoba tribe second only to Tuoba Pugen.

And sometimes even Tuoba Pugen has to face up to the Wei family, this powerful and powerful woman in history, in order to let her son ascend to the throne of the king, she did not hesitate to launch a coup d'état to kill Tuoba Yulu.

Wei Shi has the same ambition as Tuoba Pugen to unify the entire tribe, and she very much agrees with her son's attack on Shengle, and the only thing to worry about is Liaodong's reaction.

"In the three years since Jianxing, my Tuoba tribe has suddenly suffered from civil strife. Not only did they lose the rich northern and Dai cities, but even the southern capital Xinping City also fell into the hands of the Liaodong Army. Now the Tuoba Department is divided, and the adults of each department do not listen to orders, and their momentum is declining. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tuoba Pugen's face changed suddenly, and he felt that his face was gloomy. Since the Tuoba power was weak, the Tuoba tribe only revived for a period of time during the reign of Tuoba Yilu, and as a result, it only took two or three years for the Tuoba tribe to lose all the glory won in the Tuoba Yilu era.

At this time, Wei's face softened slightly, and then said: "On the contrary, the Jin army has gone through two major battles in Changli and Shangjun. All the way, it was like a bamboo, and Murong Diao and Liu Yao were broken, and there were gradually signs of revival. But. After a series of battles in the Liaodong Army, the soldiers are tired and the people are too tired to fight, and this is precisely your only chance at present. ”

"Whether you can seize the opportunity to lead the Tuoba tribe to rise again depends on your performance next!"

……

In the third year of Jianxing, a major event occurred in Guanlong, which was the battle of Shangjun that shocked the world. After this battle, the Xiongnu forces were completely driven back to the east of the Yellow River, and Chang'an was once again as stable as Mount Tai.

When the good news of the Battle of Shangjun reached Jianye, Sima Rui was in a very complicated mood, and to be honest, he was more disappointed in his heart. He was ready to succeed Sima Ye on the throne, but he didn't expect Wei Shuo to stir up. The thought of the low-hanging fruit of the throne is missing. Sima Rui couldn't wait to scold Wei Shuo's eighteenth generation ancestors.

In fact, Sima Rui was not the only one who was disappointed, and Wang Dun, the general of Zhendong, was also disappointed with the development of the situation in Guanzhong. After learning the news of Liu Yao's defeat and escape, Wang Dun's mind was blank, and he was really stunned for a while before he reacted.

In the past, the Jin army always suffered defeat when it encountered Hu Qi, but it was always able to win the battle if it didn't want the Liaodong army.

Thinking of Liaodong, which was becoming more and more domineering, Wang Dun couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

"Shiyi, the old man feels more and more that offending Wei Shuo at the beginning is probably the stupidest thing he has done in his life."

"Why did the lord say this?" Qian Feng rarely saw Wang Dun regret something, let alone someone who made him hate it.

"This time, Wei Shuo traveled thousands of miles to save the Son of Heaven in danger, and stabilized the Chang'an court in danger in one fell swoop.

"Now that Wei Shuo is famous all over the world by relying on Shangjun's great victory, even King Langya is inferior in front of him, and I am afraid that no one will be able to restrict his development in the future."

"The lord doesn't need to be depressed, I have a plan to help the lord get rid of this henchman's trouble."

"Oh? I don't know what the trick is? ”

"Don't look at Wei Shuo's majesty, in fact, there are many people who secretly look at him unpleasantly and want to eat his flesh and drink his blood! I heard that the local forces in Guanzhong, such as Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, the Taiwei Suo Qi, and the hussar general Li Yun, were deeply afraid of Liaodong, which had entered the customs strongly, and only needed a little provocation, and their subordinates thought that they would not watch the power in their hands be taken away by Wei Shuo. ”

"Well, please leave this matter to Shiyi, you must find a chance to get rid of Wei Shuo, otherwise the old man is really afraid that the Wang family will die in the future and have no place to bury!"

"Please rest assured, this matter is on his subordinates!"

Soon, envoys set out from Jiangzuo, with secret missions, and went to various places one after another.

……

Zhang Yu took over the post of Liangzhou Assassin from his father Zhang Liang for more than a year, and with the assistance of Song Pei, Bianyu, Yin Tang, and Yin Chong, he was cautious from the beginning, and gradually grasped the authority of a state and became a veritable overlord of Liangzhou.

When Liu Yao approached Chang'an, Zhang Yu sent the general Wang Gai to lead 5,000 fine cavalry to rescue Chang'an, just because Guzang was thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and when Wang should not arrive in Chang'an, he learned the news of the victory in Shangjun. Then Wang should return to Guzang with the cavalry, and also brought back the news of Liaodong's strong intervention in Guanlong.

"Let's talk about it, Liaodong's strong intervention in Guanlong is a blessing or a curse for Liangzhou?"

"Fortune and misfortune!"

Chief strategist Song Pei frowned, obviously realizing that Liaodong's involvement in Guanzhong was not a good thing for Liangzhou. As a native family in Hexi, Song Pei assisted Zhang Liang and Zhang Yu before and after the two generations of assassins, not only Zhang Yu's most relied on ministers, but also the Song family is the top wealthy family in Liangzhou.

"Liaodong's strong involvement in Guanzhong will inevitably make the Guanlong forces reshuffle, and the lord's desire to seize Liangzhou may be a ripple."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's face became gloomy, and it was a strategic plan established from the time of his father Zhang Liang to protect himself, and the two generations of the Zhang family have been working in this direction. If this plan dies because of Liaodong, Zhang Yu is unwilling.

However, the lord does not have to worry too much, since the first Xiping Gong, Liangzhou has treated the court respectfully and politely, and in the case of the princes in various places cutting off the tribute, only Liangzhou has not forgotten to help Chang'an from time to time. After so many years, who in the outside world doesn't know Liangzhou's loyalty to the Jin family? ”

"After all, Liaodong is a Jin faction, if there is no need for subordinates, they will definitely not dare to offend my Liangzhou easily! Of course, in order to strengthen the strength of Liangzhou, the lord should speed up the pace of conquering Xianbei and Zhuqiang in Hexi, and it is best to conquer the entire Western Regions, so that even if Liaodong wants to map Liangzhou in the future, he will hesitate again and again. ”

"Well, Zhongye is reasonable, as the saying goes, if Liangzhou wants to survive in troubled times, the most important thing is that it is strong, and only in this way can it dispel the covetousness of careerists."

As the three years of Jianxing are about to pass, the situation in various parts of the world has not only not eased, but has become more and more impatient because of the strength of Liaodong. Regardless of the Hu clan or the Jin faction, they are not willing to be compared to Liaodong, and they all want to try to expand their strength. (To be continued.) )
