Winter is coming, and Tuyuhun is already icy and snowy, and the winter is still very long. The Murong family and the nobles in the palace of Fu Qi City were sitting together and discussing.

There was silence in the council hall for a long time, and Murong Xuan said slowly: "My sister has made the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, or you go to Chang'an, it is also justified." He seemed to be talking to himself, and the ministers did not agree to it, which seemed a little embarrassing at this time.

It's not because the prestige of the Khan is not enough, the nobles really don't dare to echo it, this kind of thing the Khan King can say as Murong Yan's own brother, but others can't say it, and they can't say half a word. Murong Yan was originally the wife of the former minister of power Fu Lu, at that time the power of the Murong clan was weak, and the great minister Fu Lu "coerced the king of Khan to order the princes", and most of the nobles of Tuyuhun took refuge under the Fu Lu Gate, and Fu Lu was extremely powerful; Later, Fu Lu fell, and those nobles who should have been eradicated in the past should be eradicated, and the rest had to continue to survive, although they were forced by the pressure of the Jin Dynasty and the rise of the Murong clan to express their allegiance to Murong Xuan, but Murong Yan, as Fu Lu's former wife, was obviously more close to Murong Yan of the master's family. has caused the current situation, Murong Yan is just a princess, and she is a character in Tuyuhun. However, she is also a member of the Murong clan, even if she is powerful, the rise of the Murong clan is a sure thing...... As long as the Jin Dynasty does not fall. And Murong Xuan's proposal to let his sister go to Chang'an was not out of the intention of seizing power from his sister; If that were the case, Murong Xuan would not have said it so unprepared, and besides, as the Khan King of Tuyuhun, his strength might be slightly inferior to Murong Yan. The Murong clan had just gotten up, and the hearts of the sister and brother were still together.

Moreover, the Jin Dynasty had officials and a small number of troops stationed in Fuqi City, and even spies, Murong Yan was nominally the concubine of the Son of Heaven, and she would never dare to have the slightest rumor, let alone have a family in Tuyuhun. In such a situation, who is her heart towards the Murong family? The husband's family is the Xue family of the Jin Dynasty.

King Murong Xuan didn't see the ministers reacting, and he was not in a hurry, so he looked down at the chessboard placed in front of him. Murong Xuan is simply a chess-loving master, as long as he sits down, even if no one plays with him, he will ponder the chessboard.

At this time, Murong Yan, the gorgeous princess sitting next to him, finally said: "I have to do my best to have someone go to Chang'an." ”

After hearing this, all the nobles echoed one after another, and one person said: "If this continues, the clan will definitely be swallowed by Luo Qi City at the end of spring next year, and then the Tubo army will approach Helong, and we will become a shield on the northwest border of the Jin Dynasty." Not only that, but the land of the Yellow River and other places that have become our pastures have to be spit out......"

Another person said indignantly: "You are still thinking about those territories, when the time comes, Tubo will call, what do you say, can you still sue the Tubo people for peace?" ”

"Ubegti, if you say too much, you will lose." Someone reminded coldly. The indignant Nawu beggar immediately realized his gaffe: it is okay to negotiate peace with Tubo, but first Tubo wants to abolish the Murong clan, which is beyond doubt. Will the Murong family willingly give up power and negotiate peace with Tibet? Wu Qiti hurriedly changed his words: "Even if we can't defeat Tubo, the Jin Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by......"

The Jin army sent a large number of troops into Tuyuhun to help them fight against Tubo, which was really not a simple matter of saying and doing, and everyone understood it in their hearts.

"The best result is to let the Mo clan stand in the way, and we can pay for it. It is necessary to persuade the Jin Dynasty to keep the Mo clan, which is also beneficial to the imperial court, and no one wants to see Tubo reunited. ”

"It's not enough to rely on the Mo clan alone, we have to let the Jin Dynasty send elite soldiers over, and we can also send cavalry as an alliance."

Murong Yan looked back at her younger brother: "It's better to let my sister go to Chang'an." ”

King Khan raised his head and said in slight surprise: "Dong'er? ”

Murong Yan's face was a little gloomy: "Dong'er has been separated from us since childhood, our sister and brother have not been able to take good care of her, and as a sister, we don't want her to leave again." But Dong'er is not too young to get married, King Khan doesn't know, what she is thinking about is 'Xue Lang', how can we bear to force her, so we simply fulfill Dong'er and send it to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven will definitely seal a concubine. ”

"But you are also the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, and it doesn't mean much to add Dong'er......" Murong Xuan pondered for a while, and finally said, "But what my sister said also makes sense, let's ask her." ”

Just as the Tuyuhun nobles discussed, Xue Chongxun, the Son of Heaven, also did not want to see the end of the clan annexed or forced to move inward. There is no need for Fu Qicheng to send someone to request, he has long been thinking about it, and now the only way to keep the good situation in the northwest is to unite with Tuyuhun and directly send troops to the plateau. The biggest difficulty of this method was not the Tibetan enemy soldiers, but the harsh natural conditions, and the losses of Han soldiers and horses and difficult logistics that did not apply to the plateau would add a large burden to the Jin Dynasty.

If the center of gravity is shifted to the west, Hebei should try to ensure that nothing happens, and it is also unwise to increase troops in Yingzhou, and even the planned project of building the Great Wall should be shelved...... After all, judging from external pressure, Tubo is such a big piece on the map, and it is not good to the Central Plains, and the blind can see the weight of Tubo.

In this case, once he couldn't help but show a sentence in front of Yao Wan: "You said that taking a step back will open the sky?" "He himself began to waver.

He was sometimes reflecting on himself, starting from fighting Li Longji, every time he did things, he was desperate, and he had to fight to the death, and at that time he felt that he really had no choice. And now it's time to take it all?

After having this wavering mind, he also realized that he was gradually changing, more and more peaceful, but less and less aggressive...... In some ways, Xue Chongxun sees what he has in common with Li Longji. Maybe it's because you have too many things, and it's inevitable that people will look ahead and backward.

He can't pull out of the blood, and no matter what he does, a large number of people will die. How about taking a step back? Those Han people in Yingzhou are very likely to fall victim.

Yao Wan also persuaded after he said that: "The situation has changed, even if Lang Jun follows the opinions of the ministers, it will not affect your authority." ”

Xue Chongxun was standing in front of the big picture presented by Du Xian, with his back to Yao Wanzheng and carefully admiring the picture, and said without looking back: "No hurry." I have stayed in Shanzhou, and the winter in the northwest is particularly long, and the Mo clan is not completely losing resistance, and is not in a hurry. ”

When Yao Wan heard him say this, she didn't say anything more, so she gently curtched and bowed, even if he couldn't see it at all with his back to him. Yao Wan raised her head and glanced at his background, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Xue Chongxun didn't hear her answer, and casually emphasized: "During this time, there are things on both sides of the east and west, and the ministers make me too nervous. The more times like this, the more you can't rush. He didn't seem to be talking to Yao Wan, but to himself. G
