As a result, "the road is blocked and the Zhou envoys are blocked", and since then, the three states of Sheng, Fu and Lin have been cut off by the Dingyan army, and there is no road to communicate with the Zhou State. Xia Li and Fu Zhe were both chieftains of the border states, but for their own interests, there have always been profound contradictions, and since then they have become enemies.

Fuzhou Zhedelan quietly threw an olive branch to Taiyuan in the river without the assistance of the Zhou State, but the Fourth Army stationed in Taiyuan commanded Ding Sijin to receive a secret instruction from Baili Wuji to conduct trade with Fuzhou, and even borrow grain from it, but it must not be attached to the Ming State.

This land on the border of the three states has a population of only 50,000 people, and Baili Wuji does not want to plant the seeds of suspicion between it and the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State.

When Li Yiyin was very troubled by the invasion of the Zhou army, an envoy from the Liao State came, just like a timely rain in the drought, and negotiated with the Liao State to send reinforcements to the south in just two days.

Li Yiyin promised to worship the Liao State as the upper country, and the five states were determined to be vassals to the Liao State, but they were still governed by the Li family. In exchange for reinforcements from the Liao State, they went south.

Li Yiyin never wanted to really give up the five states to the Liao State, in his heart, the title of minister was just a delaying tactic, if he really wanted to surrender, it was better to surrender to the Zhou State. This is the true thought in Li Yiyin's heart.

It is difficult for the Li family to run the five prefectures of Xia and Sui for more than 70 years, how can this be said to let go.

The battle with the Fuzhou family was even more protracted, which also attracted the crusade of the Zhou army.

Now that the Zhou army is pressing the border, the only way left is to ask for help from the Ming State, but the Ming State is friendly with the Zhou State, and Li Yiyin does not want to be bored with himself. Therefore, he agreed to pay tribute to the Liao State every year. in exchange for Liao reinforcements.

In the end, it was agreed that the Liao State would send troops south to attack Shengzhou, and one would attract the troops of Fuzhou to fold the family, so that it could not go south from Linzhou to attack Nanyinzhou; Second, after capturing Shengzhou, the Liao army could go south to Xiazhou along the north of the Great Wall to assist Xiazhou in defense.

And today, Chai Rong and Li Yiyu are in a bloody battle on the right bank of the Wuding River. The Liao army had already reached Shengzhou and immediately launched an attack.

After receiving Li Yiyin's promise, Yelu Jing of Liaomu Sect immediately sent Yelu Wan and Yelu Anbo to lead a total of 50,000 cavalry from their respective tribes to the south. Attack Shengzhou and rescue Xiazhou.

This Yeluwan is the son of Yelu Lihu, and after the rebellion of Yelu Lou was killed by Yelu Jing, he also rebelled. Unfortunately, it was still suppressed by Yelu Jing. And this time, under the pressure of the courtiers, Yelujing had to release Yeluwan, but the condition was that Yeluwan must lead his troops south to rescue Xiazhou and resist with merit.

Yelu Jing left Yelu Lihu in Shangjing as a hostage, not afraid that Yelu Wan would not be obedient.

And Yeluwan had no choice but to raise a tribal army and attack Shengzhou.

At the same time, the Liao court also sent an envoy to Jinling, a state of Ming intended to dissuade the Ming state from participating in the war. The Ming and Zhou were friendly but had no alliance. Now the Liao army is attacking the three states of Sheng, Fu and Lin, which are still nominally belonging to the Zhou State, which may cause a backlash from the Ming State, and the twelve states of Taiyuan in the Ming River are adjacent to the three states of Fu and Sheng, so the Liao army needs the neutrality of the Ming army to go south.

Fuzhou also sent an envoy to Taiyuan, this time, Zhe Delan also used the power of his son-in-law Yang Ye to ask for help from the Ming State, Yang Ye just took office as the commander of the 12th Army not long after, he encountered such a tricky matter.

He naturally wanted to send troops to save his father-in-law, but this was not something he could decide, and in a hurry, Yang Ye also sent a messenger to Jinling, begging the emperor to allow him to send troops to aid Fuzhou.

For a while, Jinling Mansion was full of envoys from various countries.

An atmosphere where the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

In the palace, Baili Wuji was discussing with the ministers of the Ming Kingdom how to deal with this matter.

Sun Guangxian said: "Although the three prefectures of Fu, Sheng, and Lin belong to the Zhou State, if they are occupied by the Liao State, they will inevitably suppress the twelve states of Hedong of our Ming Kingdom. There will be a war between Ming and Liao in the future, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should be saved. ”

Xu Shiming said: "The trend of the Liao army going south must be contained, and the Ming State should be hit hard to make it no longer brave to go south." However, the peace agreement between the Ming and Liao parties is a flagrant violation of it, and it will damage His Majesty's reputation, and we should think of a safe way. ”

Feng Dao said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Ming State cannot save Fuzhou here. ”

Baili Wuji was a little surprised, Xu and Sun were unanimously in favor of sending troops to rescue, but this old man Feng was opposed.

Baili Wuji said: "What does Feng Xiang mean? ”

Feng Dao stroked his beard and replied: "The minister thinks that there will indeed be a war between Ming and Liao in the future, but the war between Ming and Monday is inevitable, and even the war between Ming and Monday is more related to the survival of the Ming country." One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the saint is wise, and he should know the side of the couch, how can he allow others to sleep peacefully. Therefore, the Liao army went south to occupy the prefecture, and the three states of Shengsheng were connected with the five states of Dingnan, which was harmful to the Zhou State, but it was beneficial to the Ming State. ”

As soon as Feng Dao's words came out, Xu and Sun also felt reasonable, after the temporary truce between the Ming State and the Liao State, in fact, the biggest enemy was the Zhou State, and the strength of the Ming State was far better than that of the Zhou State, and it should have taken the opportunity to chase the Central Plains, but I didn't want to, the Baili Wuji of the Holy Ming Dynasty actually worshipped the Emperor of the Zhou State as a brother, and made a promise not to take the initiative to attack, so that the Ming State fell into passivity, and now Feng Dao's words are reasonable, although there are some gossips that do not save people, but it is indeed in the interests of the Ming State to compromise the strength of the Zhou State, so the two were silent.

Baili Wuji sighed in his heart, Xu and Sun are not like Feng Dao, these two people can be regarded as following them all the way, why has the concept of this nation not changed?

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the temperament is difficult to change. This change in mindset may only be reversed by the next generation.

Baili Wuji does not blame Feng Dao, Feng Dao is the icing on the cake character, although he is talented, but he is by no means a martyr from the beginning, but a character who tends to be inflammatory, his advice is only for the benefit of his master, although it is now for the Ming country, but if the Ming country loses power, he is very likely to plan for other countries.

And Feng Dao's strategy of not settling inside first also made Baili Wuji feel a little resistant.

Baili Wuji did hesitate in his heart, he didn't hesitate to save it, but hesitated how to save it.

The war between Ming and Liao has just stopped, and Baili Wuji does not want to start the war again, because Baili Wuji has obtained the sixteen states of Yanyun and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and since then there is a source of war horses, in Baili Wuji's plan, he wants to let the Ming continue to accumulate national strength, and at the same time train a hundred thousand light cavalry, carry the power of firearms, and then completely solve the Liao State in the north, and lay a solid foundation for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming State.

And now the different opinions of the three high-level prime ministers of the Ming Kingdom are even more annoying.

Baili Wuji asked: "Do the three Aiqing think that if the Ming State does not save Fuzhou, the Liao State will not be hostile to the Ming State?" The three Aiqing thought that if the Ming State rescued Fuzhou, the Liao State would dare to fight with the Ming State? (To be continued......)
