Chapter 240: Liu and Wei talk deeply
While Tuoba Liuxiu was busy raising war horses, Wei Shuo had the opportunity to have a good exchange with Liu Kun about the current situation.
It's just that Liu Kun hasn't recovered from the shock of 3,000 war horses for nothing, and he just sat there for a long time and was stunned.
"Lord, lord......" Wen Qiao quietly reminded Liu Kun.
"Oh! Sorry, that's rude! ”
Liu Kun touched his nose and said with embarrassment: "This is the first time I've seen Tuoba Liuxiu embarrassed. ”
"Hehe, that's because he hasn't met me for a long time, and he has been embarrassed when he meets me a long time ago!"
Wei Shuo pouted and said: "The Hu people have been afraid of power but not virtue since ancient times, the more you give them a good face, the more they kick their noses in the face!" ”
"Take the Huns as an example, how badly Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Huns back then! The result? The Huns were honest for hundreds of years at once! But in our dynasty, the imperial court is looking for a place for Hu people everywhere to live, and they are high-ranking officials! But the result? Hum! After the Hu people gained power, they immediately made chaos in the Central Plains! ”
Listening to Wei Shuo's emotion, Liu Kun was also concerned, but he was still a little worried in his heart, "Isn't Zhiyuan worried about Tuoba Liuxiu's face?" ”
"Flip around? Ask Tuoba Liuxiu if he dares? Unless he doesn't want to be a big deal! ”
Then Wei Shuo introduced the complicated situation within the Tuoba tribe to Liu Kun, and Liu Kun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Tuoba Six Cultivators would swallow Wei Shuo's dominance, it turned out that they were worried about their alliance with Zuoxian King Tuoba Pugen.
"If, I'm if, if Tuoba Liuxiu really turns his face and leaves, will Naoyuan really form an alliance with Tuoba Pugen?"
"Well, that's for sure!"
Wei Shuo showed a hint of mystery on his face, and explained: "Liu Gong doesn't know, in fact, I didn't plan to support Tuoba Six Cultivation from the beginning, this is what he bumped into himself. Anyway, there is a cheap and not a white share! ”
"Oh? Why is that? I think that Tuoba Six Cultivation is very good, huh? Why did Naogen insist on not forming an alliance with him? ”
This is Liu Kun's puzzle, if Liu Kun chooses him, he is naturally willing to support Tuoba Six Cultivation. Not to mention that the two of them once worked together to kill the enemy and had an unusual friendship, just taking the sincerity shown by Tuoba Liuxiu just now, Liu Kun also felt that Tuoba Liuxiu was much more reliable than his father.
"Hehe, because Tuoba Liuxiu's ascendancy is not in the interests of the Great Jin! Liu Gong, you don't know. As far as I know, Natuba Pugen is not in good health, and he only has two or three years to live at most. As long as Tuoba Pugen becomes the big Danyu, it will not take a few years for the Tuoba tribe to fall into civil strife, and it will never become a threat to northern China. ”
Liu Kun and Wen Qiao were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Wei Shuo, who looked kind, to hide such vicious thoughts about Xianbei people.
Wei Shuo looked at Liu Kun and Wen Qiao, who had been stunned, and explained with a wry smile: "If it weren't for Wei Moucheng's calculating Tuoba tribe, we really had enough of Hulu's suffering. I really don't want our next generation to go through the same hardships as us. The Tuoba tribe is now very powerful, if it is not contained, who knows if it will become the second Xiongnu Han state in the future? ”
Speaking of this, Wei Shuo also let go, he stood up and pointed to the north and continued: "In fact, in my plan, in the future, the northern defense line will be comprehensively advanced to the Yinshan line, and then the entire Monan will be in the hands of Huaxia, only in this way can the threat of the grassland people to the Central Plains be minimized." ”
"In the future, the grassland people want to go south to the Central Plains to fight the grass valley. We have to go through the Gobi Desert with great difficulty. Even if they succeeded in crossing the Great Desert, they were waiting for an army in the Yinshan area. Waiting for work with ease, coupled with the barriers like forests, can't you still clean up Hu Qi, who has become a tired division? ”
Liu Kun's face was full of shock, and he sighed, "Zhiyuan is a great talent, Kun can't do it!" ”
"Eh, Liu Gong is too famous! Liu Gongwen is brilliant, what kind of talent am I compared to you? ”
Liu Kun waved his hand and said, "Zhiyuan is modest. If it is said that I am ten times better than Zhiyuan when writing articles and composing music, but when it comes to the ability to govern the army with peace and security, Kun is far inferior to Zhiyuan! It has been seven or eight years since Kun left the town and merged with the state, and although there are some achievements, but on the whole, the situation in the state is becoming more and more sinister. ”
"Lately, I've been feeling even more powerless! Now my Assassin's Mansion has less than two counties. There are only about 200,000 people and more than 20,000 soldiers, and there will be only a few people. Relying on this strength, not to mention the counterattack on Pingyang, it is a question whether or not it can block the attack of the Huns in the future. ”
Wei Shuo had also expected that the situation in the annex state would be very bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. No wonder in history, Liu Kun will fight two years later and the whole army will not be in Shile, it turns out that his strength is not good!
"Zhiyuan, the state is in danger today, I want to ask the Liaodong army to enter Yangqu, I don't know if the Liaodong side is willing?"
"This ......"
In the face of Liu Kun's warm invitation, Wei Shuo was a little hesitant. He has no plans to face the enemy for the time being, and now he has enough headaches to deal with Shi Le and Murong Diao, and if he adds Liu Cong and Liu Yao, he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with it. These few enemy chieftains, each with great talents, is more difficult than the other.
"Lord ......"
Just as Wei Shuo was thinking about how to refuse, he saw Wen Qiao on the side suddenly speak: "Lord, I think this matter should be decided after discussing it with the staff of the Assassin's Mansion." ”
"Huh? Alas, well! ”
Liu Kun's face darkened, and he remembered that most of his staff members did not have a good impression of Wei Shuo, if the Liaodong Army was allowed to enter Yangqu, the Assassin Mansion would not be able to make a fuss!
Wen Qiao was also very disappointed that he could not invite the brave and warlike Liaodong Army to enter Yang, but he had to dissuade Liu Kun.
His uncle Liu Kun was ostensibly the governor of Sanzhou, and his official residence was in a high position. But in fact, even the states directly under his leadership did not all obey his orders, and the families headed by the Taiyuan Wang family and the Yangqu Guo family were the real masters in the state. For example, inviting foreign feudal troops to enter the state must be recognized by the state family, otherwise Liu Kun will not be able to ask Wei Shuo for help.
Thinking of this, Wen Qiao comforted Liu Kun and said: "Actually, the lord doesn't have to be discouraged, in general, we still have the advantage now!" The alliance army has strategically surrounded the strong enemy Shile, if Shile attacks Youzhou again, and the state can send a small force through the Taihang Mountain to attack Shile from behind, so that it cannot take care of each other. ”
"As long as the two states work together, they will definitely be able to defeat Shile first in the future! As soon as Shi Le died, it was Liu Cong's turn to have a headache, and then Bingzhou could launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Huns and eliminate all the Hulu! ”
Liu Kun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and hurriedly looked at Wei Shuo and asked, "Well, it's really a great plan!" What does Naogen think? ”
"Maybe you can give it a try!"
……
As soon as Yilu died, the entire Tuoba Department was in chaos, and the Jin people, who were originally attached to the Tuoba tribe, surrendered to Weishuo under the leadership of Tuo Weixiong and Ji Tang.
There are 30,000 families who have defected to Wei Shuo from the Tuoba Department, and because they have lived with the Xianbei people for a long time, almost everyone is good at riding and shooting, and if Wei Shuo is willing, he can easily pull up 30,000 cavalry.
Considering that although these people are mainly Han Chinese, they have lived in the desert for decades, and even the young people were born outside the Guanwai and have long been accustomed to nomadic life, Wei Shuo placed everyone in Daijun and Shanbei to graze.
With these 100,000 people, plus the nearly 10,000 Han slaves rescued by Wei Shuo from the Xianbei people, Wei Shuo settled about 100,000 people in the northern part of the country, supplemented by the Juntian system, Wei Shuo finally took the north into his own hands.
After Shi Le's successful sneak attack on Wang Jun, not only did he not get any benefits, but instead formed a situation of being surrounded by the alliance army led by Liu Kun. In order to change his unfavorable situation, Shi Le took advantage of the time when Youzhou sent troops to represent the county, and sent Shi Hu from Yecheng to attack Liu Yan, the assassin of Yanzhou, and defeated Liu Yan and removed the hidden dangers in the south.
At the same time, Liu Cong, who was becoming more and more mediocre, was a little annoyed by the persuasion of the ministers, so he thought about destroying the Chang'an court and becoming a great emperor who ruled the world, in order to show his wisdom and martial arts.
So Liu Cong began to prepare frantically for war, not only ordering Hu people of all ethnic groups to gather in Pusaka, but also letting all the grain in the country be transported to supply Pusaka for hoarding.
Soon, the Han Emperor Liu Cong ordered Liu Yao, the king of Hanzhongshan, to lead nearly 100,000 Hu soldiers of all ethnic groups to enter Puban, train soldiers and horses day and night, and only wait for the time to cross the Yellow River west to attack Guanzhong when the time is ripe in the coming year. This time, Liu Yao did not plan to return to Pingyang, he was determined to take Guanzhong as a foothold. (To be continued.) )
