In the fourth year of Jianxing, at the beginning of February, it was a sunny day, only a few seagulls were flying on the calm sea, and the deep blue water was everywhere in sight.

Wei Shuo, accompanied by President Liu, Wang Wei and other sailor generals, stood on the deck of the Liaodong and personally experienced the first voyage of the Fuchuan warship, and the sailor generals were so excited that it was difficult to calm down.

Looking at the rows of bed crossbows on the deck, Wei Shuo praised again and again, "Good, good, very good, the sailor finally has a sharp weapon at sea." ”

"Hahaha, lord, with such a powerful warship, the minister has the confidence to sweep the South Seas!"

"What is the South Seas, to the west or east, to the south, after crossing the ocean, there are still a large number of unknown worlds waiting for you to explore and discover. The sailors must keep in mind: sea power is sovereignty! The responsibility and mission of the sailor is to safeguard the interests of the Liaodong Sea! In the future, I hope that where there is a sea, there will be a figure of you, and where there is an island, there will be a port where the ships of the sailors dock! ”

"The sailors will live up to the trust of the lord!" Mr. Liu and other generals of the water division were enthusiastically boiled by Wei Shuo's words, and they expressed their determination to him.

……

In the fourth year of Jianxing, in mid-February, the Tuoba tribe, which had been calm for less than two years, made waves again. Originally from Tuoba Liuxiu after being crowned the king of the Five Plains, Yu Tuoba Pugen, the central Dadan stationed in Shenhepo, was very panicked.

The practice of Tuoba Six Cultivation was disdained by Tuoba Pugen, and in the original three Xianbei, the central part of Tuoba Pugen was weaker, far less than the Tuoba Six Cultivation, which inherited most of the foundation of Tuoba Yilu.

Moreover, Tuoba Pugen has been committed to unifying the entire Tuoba tribe, but Tuoba Liuxiu fell to the Great Jin Dynasty and was canonized by the Son of Heaven of the Jin Dynasty, which caused his unification plan to suffer a heavy blow, so Tuoba Pugen has always regarded Tuoba Liuxiu's behavior of defecting to the Great Jin Dynasty as a betrayal of the entire Tuoba Xianbei.

Since Tuoba Liuxiu launched civil strife, Tuoba Pugen has been planning for the great cause of reunification all the time. In order to complete the unification of the tribes as soon as possible, Tuoba Pugen launched a unification war when the southeast of Liao went to merge states with the Huns.

As soon as it entered February, Tuoba Pugen raised troops to attack Tuoba Liuxiu, and the two troops gathered tens of thousands of cavalry on the plain of the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain to fight a big battle. As a result, Tuoba Liuxiu was defeated and fled. However, Tuoba Pugen also suffered huge losses and failed to take advantage of the situation to go south to Shengle.

As early as the beginning of Tuoba Pugen's invasion, Tuoba Liuxiu quickly sent envoys to Jicheng for help. The Tuoba envoy crossed the Guanshui Mountain and went south to the north, trekking all the way through the mountains and rivers across Daijun, and did not arrive at Jicheng until the end of February. The carved buildings, the long straight and wide streets, and the soldiers with strict military appearance all left a deep impression on the envoy.

While passing by Daijun, the change in Daijun shocked the Tuoba envoy. It's only been two years, and Daijun seems to have changed dramatically. It is more prosperous than when the Tuoba tribe occupied it.

"Little one, meet General Zhenbei!" The Tuoba envoy stood respectfully in front of Wei Shuo.

"The Tuoba envoy came from afar, and he has worked hard, I don't know what your family is doing when he sends you?"

"Returning to the general, since the canonization of the Son of Heaven last year, the Tuoba tribe has sworn to be the Great Jin Domain forever, and the two sides will always be friendly! I don't want the tribe to rebel against Tuoba Pugen and entangle the central tribe to invade my border. The small one was ordered by Da Shan Yu to come to Liaodong for help. I hope that General Zhenbei can send troops to rescue Sheng Le as soon as possible. ”

"Tuoba Six Cultivators invade Shengle?" Wei Shuo was secretly overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but discuss: "Tuoba Pugen finally shouldn't shrink his head as a turtle!" ”

"Hmm. It stands to reason that your family's Da Dan Yu has just returned to the imperial court, and there is a sudden disaster, Liaodong should not stand idly by, but the main force of Liaodong is concentrated on the front line of Bingzhou, and I am afraid that it will not be able to draw troops to the north for the time being. But please rest assured, once I take Liaodong and merge the state. A great army will be raised to the north to support. ”

"This ......" Tuoba Envoy's face was very ugly, but he knew that Wei Shuo was telling the truth, and he didn't know how to phrase it.

"Tuoba envoy Ma Laoton, let's get here first today."

With Wei Shuo's command, someone immediately led the Tuoba envoy down. Although the messenger was unwilling, he could only leave first.

After the Tuoba envoy left, Wei Shuo immediately brought Gao Zhan, Su Maru, Zhang Tong, Liu Han and others to discuss.

After Gao Zhan learned of the changes in the grassland, he couldn't help but joke: "Tuoba Pugen has finally made a move, if he doesn't do it again, Liaodong can't help but make the first move!" ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.

Even Wei Shuo couldn't help but say: "Okay, now Tuoba Xianbei has finally developed as Liaodong envisioned, but in the future, we must not relax, we must closely monitor the Tuoba tribe, and strive to let Tuoba Pugen 'get your wish' to defeat Tuoba Liuxiu." ”

"My lord, I think we can also secretly use the stumbling block to support a batch of grain, grass and ordnance to Tuoba Liuxiu, so that we can not only appease Tuoba Liuxiu, but also make Tuoba Pugen pay the price. In the future, even if he unified the Tuoba tribe, his strength would be greatly reduced, reducing the resistance to conquering the Yinshan Hetao Plain in the future. ”

"Well, Jing Qian's words are reasonable!" Wei Shuo bowed slightly, very satisfied with Gao Zhan's suggestion.

"In addition, the General's Mansion can also transfer some of the troops of the military government to the north to Gaoliu, Shanwu, and Xinpingcheng, and in case of an unfavorable situation, the army can send troops to intervene at any time."

"Well, okay, according to what Jing Qian, I'm afraid that this will definitely make Tuoba Liuxiu dissatisfied."

"Humph! What if he is dissatisfied? Don't look at Tuoba Liuxiu's strength surpassing Tuoba Pugen, but there are many internal contradictions, even if he is canonized by the Jin family, there are still many opposition forces within him. On the contrary, Natuoba Pugen has guarded the central Xianbei for many years, and it is his father Tuoba Yi's foundation that inherits it, and the internal unity is far from being comparable to the Tuoba Six Cultivations. ”

"If there is no support from Liaodong, how can Tuoba Liuxiu have the confidence to defeat Tuoba Pugen? Therefore, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only bury it deep in his heart, and before the reunification is completed, no matter whether it is Tuoba Liuxiu or Tuoba Pugen, he will not dare to offend my Liaodong. Even if Tuoba Liuxiu is ambitious, he does not dare to invade my eastern Liaodong border. ”

"Hehe, Tuoba Pugen is certainly ambitious, but it's a pity that his body is not good!" The corners of Wei Shuo's mouth twitched.

In accordance with the idea proposed by Mo Han at the beginning, the entire Liaodong has always adopted Tuoba Pugen that openly supports Tuoba Six Cultivation, but in fact secretly supports Tuoba Pugen. An important factor in this plan was Tuoba Pugen's poor health, and it was very likely that the Tuoba tribe would have another political crisis as a result.

"Whether we can recover the Hetao Plain in the future and take the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain depends on whether today's plan can be realized! Shirong is really talented! ”

Even Wei Shuo had to be amazed by Mo Han's talent, but fortunately, Liu Kun couldn't make full use of his talents, so he was given the opportunity to intervene. After a period of contact, everyone in Liaodong admired Mo Han's talent, he not only had a very rare business talent, but also had unique views on governance and military affairs.

Just when the Tuoba envoy thought that this southward trip would be in vain, he did not expect that Gao Zhan, the left army division of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, personally met with him, apologized to him on behalf of Liaodong, and said that Liaodong was willing to support the Tuoba tribe with a batch of grain, grass and ordnance, so as to support it against Tuoba Pugen.

Although Liaodong's move was not enough to completely eliminate the dissatisfaction in the heart of the Tuoba envoy, it also allowed him to explain to Tuoba Liuxiu. Moreover, it is no secret that Liaodongnan conquered and annexed the state, and it is reasonable for people to use this as an excuse not to send troops. Now he can get a batch of grain, grass and ordnance for nothing, which is greatly beyond his expectations.

"Dare to ask Master Gao, I don't know how much grain, grass, and ordnance Liaodong can support Shengle? Can the bed crossbow and the god arm crossbow support some of them? ”

Gao Zhan couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said secretly: "Tuoba Xianbei won't treat Liaodong as a Kaizi, right?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Tuoba envoy, due to the limited production of bed crossbows and divine arm crossbows, there is no spare power in Liaodong to supply the outside world. Considering that there is still a big war in Liaodong this year, the amount of grain, grass and ordnance to support the Tuoba tribe is limited, unless the Tuoba tribe spends money to buy it. ”

It was only then that the Tuoba envoy figured out what the Liaodong people were thinking, it turned out that the so-called ordnance aid was just a reason, but the real purpose of Liaodong was to make war money!

I knew that the Jin people were treacherous, but I didn't expect them to be so treacherous! Although the Tuoba envoy was eager to break Gao Zhan's body into pieces, he still had to put on a smile on his face and discuss the transaction price with the other party. (To be continued.) )
