After the opening of the government, Wei Shuo put all his energy on the governance of the people. Under his care, in this bloody and war-torn era of great ****, southern Liaoning has become a rare paradise in the hearts of the Liao people, and a large number of Liao people who are unbearable to be oppressed by the Hu people have fled to Xi'anping.

The paradise created by Wei Shuo in southern Liaoning was welcomed by the suffering people, but it also attracted the envy and suspicion of others. Pingzhou Thorn Shi Cui Yu thought that he was born in a big family, and the people of Liao should take refuge in him, but the local people didn't buy his account, and no one was willing to settle down with him to pay taxes, which made him feel very shameless.

What's more, the number of people under the rule is also a symbol of strength, and the number of people means that there are a wide range of taxes and a sufficient source of soldiers, which is especially important in times of war.

However, Cui Yu didn't know how to reflect on himself, and only blindly put the responsibility on Wei Shuo's head, thinking that it was because of Wei Shuo's malicious solicitation and provocation that the people of Liaodi abandoned him.

At this time, Wei Shuo held high the banner of King Langya and opened a mansion in Liaodi. This suddenly stirred up the anger in Cui Yu's heart, and he could no longer tolerate Wei Shuo's existence in Xi'anping.

In Cui Yu's opinion, this is Wei Shuo openly provoking him to rule in Liaodong, which is really bearable, which is unbearable!

Deeply jealous and angry, Cui Yu came up with a way to kill people with a knife in order to fight Wei Shuo, and he ignored the opposition of Changshi Gaozhan, secretly colluded with Goguryeo, Yuwen, Duan and other Hu forces to conspire to eliminate Wei Shuo and jointly divide the land and population of southern Liaoning.

In the sixth year of Yongjia, in early August, Cui Bi, together with Goguryeo, Yuwen, and Duan, gathered a total of 60,000 horses to attack Xi'anping. At the time of the alliance, Cui Yuzhi was complacent, and he was arrogant and rude to all allies, which caused Duan, Yuwen, and Goguryeo to be very dissatisfied with him.

Especially Yuwen Xun Nickyan, who sent the most troops, he was not quite dependent on Youzhou like the Duan clan. The relationship between Yuwen Xianbei and Wang Jun is just an ordinary alliance, and if it weren't for the opportunity to win over tens of thousands of Han people in southern Liaoning this time, he would not have disdained to flatter Cui Yu at all.

However, except for Yuwenxun and Nick Yan, neither Duan Xiu nor the Goguryeo people expressed any dissatisfaction with Cui Yu's arrogance. It's not that the two sides are broad-minded, but before they came, they were told by their respective Shan Yu and the lord of the country: just perfunctory and foolish the past, and the rest don't need to be taken to heart. Goguryeo and Duan's sides did not make trouble, and Yuwenxun had no choice but to suppress his anger and bury his dissatisfaction deep in his heart.

Seeing that the three allies easily 'succumbed' to his own authority, a hint of sarcasm flashed at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't realize that he had planted a divisive factor in the alliance.

However, as the assassin of Pingzhou, Cui Yu still has capable people under him, and Changshi Gao Zhan realized the fragility of the alliance in front of him. He worriedly glanced at Yuwenxun Nickyan, who was suppressing his anger, and Duan Xiu and Goguryeo who looked indifferent, and hurriedly stepped forward to Cui Yu's side, and lowered his voice to persuade:

"The war is coming, and we need to rely on your allies in the future, so that the king cannot be overpowered, and one relaxation is the way of the emperor! Otherwise, if the allies are dissatisfied and the coalition forces fall apart, will it not be a misservice to the king's great cause? ”

After listening to Gao Zhan's words, Cui Bi was stunned, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be overdressing. Especially the attitude towards Yuwen Xun Nick Yan is wrong, the entire coalition army said that it was a four-party alliance, but in fact, it was Yuwen Xianbei who really contributed, and their side dispatched 50,000 cavalry, and the remaining three parties only gathered a total of 10,000 horses.

Thinking that it might cause Yuwenxun's dissatisfaction, which would lead to the collapse of the coalition forces without a fight, Cui Yu's smugness disappeared without a trace, and he pulled Gao Zhan with a slightly panicked look and asked, "Is there a remedy for Changshi?" ”

Gao Zhan looked at Cui Bi, who had some six gods and no masters, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged! Alas! Cui Yu is indeed not a master who can be assisted, but when Gao Zhan could choose, Liaodi had no better choice except Cui Yu! Thinking of this, Gao Zhan couldn't help but think of Wei Shuo in Xi'an Pingnei, if Wei Shuo had appeared a few years earlier, he Gao Zhan would not have chosen Cui Yu who couldn't support the wall with mud.

Historically, Gao Zhan also did not abandon Cui Yu and join Murong Diao like other Liaodi scholars. Later, Cui Yu was defeated and fled to Goguryeo, but he himself was captured by Murong Diao. Murong Diao knew that Gao Zhan was very capable, just like recruiting him. However, Gao Zhan swore that he would not go out of the Hu people, and later died of worry.

"Envoy, in the future, the war will need to rely more on the Xianbei cavalry under the command of Yuwenxun Nickyan, now put down his body for the time being, and take a good look at Yuwenxun Nickname, so as to save him from delaying the envoy's plan in the future war."

After listening to Gao Zhan's persuasion, Cui Yu finally gave a few allies a smile. It's a pity that he did this gesture a little late, and sometimes the estrangement cannot be eliminated once it is generated. Although Yuwenxun Yanyan's muscles on his face loosened a little, the dissatisfaction with Cui Yu in his heart did not dissipate much, and it was only considering that the army still needed the food and grass provided by Cui Yu, so he did not turn his face on the spot.

The Goguryeo people looked at Yuwenxun and Choi Bi, who were at odds with each other at the banquet, and became more and more unoptimistic about the prospects of the alliance. I just wanted to put this matter over perfunctory as soon as possible, so that I could return to China as soon as possible to return to the king and the country. Although Duan Xiu had the intention to adjust the contradictions between the two sides, the Duan clan was already not on good terms with Yuwen Xianbei, and when he remembered what his brother told him, he didn't have much to say.

In this way, the alliance ceremony that Cui Bi had painstakingly organized ended in a strange atmosphere. Except for Cui Yu, who feels very good, no one is optimistic about the prospects of the alliance. After the alliance, 60,000 enemy troops pressed towards Xi'an Ping.

As Cui Yu led the army to invade Xi'anping, there were reconnaissance cavalry everywhere, and Xi'an Ping soon entered a state of emergency, and a large number of soldiers were transferred to the city wall to defend the city. Although the war was coming, no one in southern Liaoning, from the civil and military forces to the common people, felt timid and nervous.

After the baptism of blood and fire a few months ago, the people of Xi'an Ping believe that as long as Master Wei is here, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated!

After receiving the news of the enemy's attack, Wei Shuo immediately convened a joint military and political meeting of the school captain's office and the county guard's office. This is the first time since the opening of the government and the reorganization of the military in southern Liaoning that they have gathered together to discuss important matters.

Wei Shuo looked at the civil and military people gathered together, and couldn't help but be full of ambition and said: "Goguryeo, Duan, and Yuwen listened to Cui Yu's slander and attacked my Xi'an Ping for the sake of temporary interests!" But I didn't know that in Wei's eyes, they were just a rabble! ”

"Don't look at the tripartite alliance, there are many people, but the enemy has no unified command, and no one obeys each other, so even if the enemy is menacing, it is not terrible."

"Of course, the enemy's army has just been united, its morale is booming, and with the help of tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, so we can't take the enemy lightly! But Wei believes that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win! ”

At this time, Lu Chang, the director of the Military Division, stood up and echoed: "The lord's words are reasonable! At the moment, the enemy is gaining momentum, and if we venture out of the city to meet the battle, it is equivalent to playing into the hands of the enemy. On the contrary, if we hold out without a fight, for a long time, the enemies will definitely be suspicious of each other. Then we will be able to carry out tricks against the enemy and make enemy allies suspicious of each other! It won't be long before a good opportunity to break the enemy will appear, and then we will be able to win easily. ”

Changshi Pei Wei stood up again and added: "Most of the enemy troops are cavalry, and the infantry is less than 10,000 people, which is enough for field battles, but it can't break through our city!" As long as we don't make mistakes, I believe that the enemy will never be able to step into Xi'an! ”

After the repeated agitation of Wei Shuo, Lu Chang, and Pei Wei, the people present were full of enthusiasm and confidence. In the face of 60,000 enemy troops, Wei Shuo ordered to hold Xi'an Ping and closed his doors without fighting. At the same time, he, Pei Wei, Lu Chang, Han Shou, Yang Tan and others also actively looked for opportunities to prepare for the separation of the enemy army.
