This request was so sudden that even Tuoba Qianyu was not mentally prepared, and she was really taken aback. She was joking about this matter just now, but now Liu Ziqiu really brought it up. Rao is her temperament is bold and open, and she can't help blushing at this time, as if she has a deer in her heart, and she is jumping wildly.

Although Tuoba Mumi had already heard Tuoba Yuanju talk about it, he was still a little surprised to hear Liu Ziqiu mention it in person at this time. However, he had obviously been thinking about this matter for a while, and he was only stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The little girl's appearance is ugly, it is rare for Lord Liu to take a fancy to it, and it is indeed the blessing of the little girl." It's just that the little girl is young, and it's too early to talk about marriage. ”

I am afraid that only Liu Ziqiu, who has crossed over, will agree with his remarks. There are very few girls who are thirteen years old and have not married, and mothers abound. Take the sunny day of tomorrow's wedding, but he is only eleven years old.

In fact, the phenomenon of early marriage is not only among party members, but also among Han people. Since the Wuhu Rebellion, under the influence of Hu customs, the rule that a woman can marry only after a woman has long ceased to exist.

"Father, my daughter is not young!" When it comes to his own happiness, Tuoba Qianyu is willing to endure it and defend it loudly, the shame just now has long been gone.

Tuoba Mumi's face sank, and he shouted: "I'm talking to Lord Liu, what are you talking about!" It's none of your business here, get out! ”

Growing up so big, my father has never been so fierce to himself. Tuoba Qianyu's nose was sour, and the two eye circles suddenly turned red, and it was not to go, nor to stay.

"Qianyu, listen to your father, let's go out first." In front of Tuoba Mumi, Liu Ziqiu hugged Tuoba Qianyu's soft waist very affectionately, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I will convince your father." ”

He just wanted to send a signal to Tuoba Mumi, your daughter and I have done all the intimate things, marry or not, you can do it. It's a pity that he chose the wrong person, the party and the Turkic customs are similar, and they don't care what the girl did before she got married, as long as she is loyal to her husband after marriage.

"Dad, my daughter won't marry if I'm not a brother!" Perhaps because of Liu Ziqiu's encouragement, Tuoba Qianyu's confidence increased greatly, and he shouted loudly at Tuoba Mumi, and turned around and went out in a huff.

Tuoba Mu said curtly: "The goddaughter has no way, which makes Lord Liu smile." ”

"Liu likes a girl with a straightforward temperament like Qianyu." Liu Ziqiu smiled, "Lord Tuoba, Liu didn't plan to marry Qianyu now. Liu can make a marriage contract first, and then hold the wedding after two years, even if it is three years, Liu can wait! ”

"Don't hide it from Lord Liu, as early as the beginning of the year, the lord Murong Fuyun canonized the little girl as the queen of Tuyuhun." Seeing Liu Ziqiu's posture of not giving up until he reached his goal, Tuoba Mumi finally told the truth, "In the past two days, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to the door to ask for relatives, and the old man has only one daughter, who to marry, I really can't make up my mind." ”

The last sentence is Tuoba Mumi's heart's words, otherwise he would not have dragged Tuoba Qianyu to the age of thirteen and still not married.

"It is human nature for a family of women to seek from a hundred families." Liu Ziqiu didn't care, and said lightly, "It's just that Liu's current identity is not as good as a dead country's lord?" ”

If Liu Ziqiu was only a brigade commander in the Great Sui Army, it would be impossible for Tuoba Mumi to endure him talking like this. Even Tuoba Qianyu was relieved to follow Tuoba Yuanju back to the tribe because of the change in Liu Ziqiu's identity. As the daughter of a tribal leader, she understands better what marriage means than just two loves. If Liu Ziqiu was still just a brigade commander, she would not make a joke about "proposing relatives", but directly chose to "elope".

Tuoba Mumi finally couldn't hold it back, and sneered: "The lord of the dead country is also the lord of the country, who knows when he will kill him again!" ”

Liu Ziqiu chuckled in his heart. A few days ago, Tuoba Yuanju hurriedly left Xiangli Department, saying that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything, and then the news of Tuoba Yuanju's marriage to Xiangli Qingtian came out, could it be that Tuoba Mumi already knew the news of Yang Guang's death?

If so, everything is clear. Tuoba Mumi knew that Yang Guang had died, so he hurriedly recalled Tuoba Yuanju to discuss and quickly hold a wedding for them, which was in a hurry to form an alliance with the Xiangli Department. But on the issue of marrying a daughter, Tuoba Mumi was worried that Murong Fuyun would come back one day, so he hesitated.

In fact, Liu Ziqiu guessed wrong, the person Tuoba Mumi wanted his daughter to marry the most was not Murong Fuyun, but Xifeng Ye Lilan.

The Fine Seal Department is the second largest department of the party, and the strength of the Tuoba Department is on par, and it has always been difficult to deal with the Tuoba Department. If the two ministries can become in-laws, they will be able to turn enemies into friends, and he will be one step closer to the goal of unifying the eight ministries of the party.

This time, in the invitation letter sent to the heads of the ministries, it was specifically mentioned that the leaders of the ministries were invited to bring their children to the meeting. How could these leaders not understand what Tuoba Mumi meant, and several leaders directly brought gifts to propose marriage, including the fine seal of Ye Lilan, for Tuoba Mumi, it was simply drowsy and sending pillows.

Xifeng Ye Lilan is over forty years old, his wife was newly mourned last year, although there are more than ten concubines, but where can he compare to Tuoba Qianyu's young beauty. Therefore, after guessing that Tuoba Muya had plans to marry a daughter, Lilan did not propose marriage for his sons, but came to ask for marriage for himself. It's just that the fine seal Ye Lilan also promised that when the time comes, he will definitely let Tuoba Qianyu be his wife, and lead the three departments of Xifeng, Fei Ting, and Mi Bao to support Tuoba Mumi's great cause of unifying the party.

It was the last condition that attracted Tuoba Muya. If you add the Xiangli Department who became in-laws this time, as well as the Duochao and Fangdang Second Divisions, which have always been good friends with the Tuoba Department, there are seven departments that support him, and the remaining Yeqi Department will have no effect if they oppose it.

Tuoba Mumi did know that Yang Guang was dead, so he was even more anxious to unify the eight departments. The strength of the unified party is not weaker than that of Xianbei, and even if it becomes the master of this land, it is not impossible. If we follow the original historical process, in a few hundred years, the unified party will really become the master of this land, and establish a country called Western Xia, which is the result of the efforts of party members like Tuoba Mumi from generation to generation.

Liu Ziqiu was only slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Murong Fuyun can still kill back?" I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive. Even if he can kill him back, with Liu here, he will only have the fate of being a prisoner! ”

The environment in this area is very harsh, especially in the cold winter, even ordinary herdsmen are in danger in the wild, let alone a lost dog like Murong Fuyun? But Tuoba Mumi didn't think so, because he had already met the representatives sent by Murong Kuaxing and knew that Murong Fuyun was still alive and well.

"Then the old man will wait and see. As long as Lord Liu can catch Murong Fuyun, the old man will promise you! "Tuoba Mumi is a treacherous man, and he will not miss any opportunity to strike at the enemy and strengthen himself. Murong Fuyun will definitely come back, let Liu Ziqiu fight with him to the death, he will take the opportunity to unify the eight party departments, and then come to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Good! Deal! Liu Ziqiu agreed, and didn't seem to take Murong Fuyun in his eyes at all.

In fact, what Liu Ziqiu revealed was only the appearance, and his strategy was to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.

Although he became the leader of the Xihai tribe and integrated more than 6,000 Sui troops, he had no foundation in this land, not to mention the Xianbei people whose strength had not been greatly damaged, even compared with the Dangxiang, Murowei and other tribes, he was still in a weak position.

In this case, what Liu Ziqiu has to do is to boost morale. Strength is not the only factor that determines the outcome of a war, not only to take advantage of the favorable time and place, but also to be proficient in astronomy and geography, sometimes morale, fighting spirit and will can influence the situation of the war, and the weak can defeat the strong.

As for tactics, Liu Ziqiu had already regarded Murong Fuyun as his biggest enemy and began to actively prepare for war.

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Tuoba Mumi laughed and said, "Let's go, the old man will set up a banquet for you, and by the way, I will introduce a few friends to you." ”

……

The sky in the northwest darkened a little later, and Luoyang at this time was already in the second watch, and Shanglin Xiyuan on the outskirts of the city was shrouded in a cloud. There is no impermeable wall in the world, although Xiyuan is isolated from the outside world, and no one has specially reported the news, the news of Yang Guang's death still reached here.

The first to feel strange were a few palace maids doing rough work. There are thousands of people living in the West Garden, and a lot of garbage and debris will be produced every day, and the task of these palace maids is to collect these garbage and sundries and send them to the garden gate, and then transported away by the guards outside the garden gate, these palace maids are the only people in the garden who can have contact with the outside world.

Since the assassination incident, the guards of the Yuan Gate have been very strict, and there are heavy troops stationed outside the Yuan wall, even after Yang Guangxi's expedition, there has been no slackening. However, on this day, when several palace maids still delivered garbage and sundries to the garden gate, they found that the guards outside the garden gate were less than half, and they saw heavy soldiers stationed outside the wall in the distance.

Although these palace maids are rough workers, they are also selected from a hundred miles, and in the eyes of those soldiers who guard the door, they are like fairies, and they have questions to answer. It turned out that after Li Yuan mastered the military power, he paid more attention to the threat of Yang Xuangan in the direction of Chang'an, deployed heavy troops in the direction of Hongnong, and transferred more than half of the army stationed in Xiyuan, all of which was caused by Yang Guang's death, so naturally he couldn't hide it.

The place where women gather is the easiest to spread the news, one to ten, ten to hundred, and soon the entire Shanglin Xiyuan will know, which makes people panic.

The news also reached Qiyin Courtyard, and Chen Fangling, who had just replaced "Shi Huiniang" as a beauty, ran in in a panic, but saw Xie Xiangwen stroking the qin, and Yuan Ziyan sat cross-legged and listened attentively.

Chen Fangling said anxiously: "Mrs. Xie, Yuan Meiren, I heard, I heard that we are all going to be sent to the nunnery to become monks, how can the two sisters still have such Yaxing?" ”
