Two days after the lively Laba day, Murong Xuanjue took his personal guards and the twenty secret guards specially prepared for him by Murong Zhaoyang to secretly return to Chang'an.

Murong Xuanjue spent twelve days secretly rushing back to Chang'an, and secretly entered the palace after the curfew, while Murong Ren, who got the news in advance, was waiting for his sister-in-law who had not seen him for several years in the imperial study.

Gently pushing open the door, Murong Xuanjue looked at the emperor who was sitting at the desk and carefully reviewing the folds, gently closed the door, took a few steps forward and knelt down and said in a hoarse voice: "The son is not filial, see the father!" ”

"Jue'er? Jue'er, hurry up! Murong Ren looked up at his son who was kneeling at the desk, got up excitedly and quickly helped up Murong Xuanjue, who was still kneeling.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for many years, and they were a little excited, and after a while, when the mood calmed down, Murong Ren asked softly: "Jue'er secretly returned to Chang'an this time, but there is something important to tell the emperor?" ”

"Yes, father, in the past few years, Zhaoyang and Erchen and the seventeenth brother have trained together The 100,000 iron cavalry can already be bladed, a few days ago, Erchen and the seventeenth brother led the team out to suppress the bandits and trained some soldiers, not to mention that the soldiers can block four or five with one as ten, and the most important thing is that the scouts are returning, and the Western Liang, Northern Wei and Jiaozhi are all a little abnormal!"

Murong Xuanjue looked at Murong Ren and said seriously: "The old emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty is old and frail, and he can't control the situation anymore, but the princes below are now doing their own thing, making the entire Northern Wei Dynasty into a miasma, that's it, the big prince who has won the biggest now has a lot of ambitions, and his people are stubborn and tyrannical, and they have colluded with Xiliang, moreover, Xiliang has been eyeing my Dayan for so many years, more than 20 years ago, the little emperor uncle killed hundreds of thousands of iron horses in Xiliang, this Xiliang can be said to have always remembered it!" ”

"Father, Xiliang colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but now they don't dare to use troops against my Dayan, but Jiaozhi is a small country, as a vassal of my Dayan, and even colluded with the Western Liang and Northern Wei, in a vain attempt to get involved in my Central Plains.

Murong Ren looked at Murong Xuanjue approvingly and said gently: "Jue'er is smart and clever, there are people in the court who collude with the barbarian state, it's not that he has the audacity to subvert my Dayan country, but just wants to let Jiaozhi get out of the jurisdiction of my Dayan and not under the control of my Dayan. ”

"Yes, father, the small country of Jiaozhi Projectile is a vassal country of my Dayan, and wanting to get out of control means rebellion, my Dayan can directly send troops to suppress it, don't you want to rely on my Dayan? Then merge directly into my territory! Murong Xuanjue looked at Murong Ren and said lightly.

Murong Ren looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Do you want to start a national war and directly destroy Jiaozhi?" ”

"Yes, father, Xiliang and Northern Wei Jiaozhi are adjacent to my Dayan, but they intend to get involved in the Central Plains's thief's heart is not dead, and it is a threat to my Dayan, now Xiliang is weak, and I dare not speak to my Dayan, and the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not worth mentioning, but if the two countries are really united, my Dayan is not unable to win, but the loss will not be small, now take advantage of their weakness, destroy Jiaozhi first, and they will collude after the province!"

Murong Xuanjue picked up the tea on the desk and took a sip before continuing: "Jiaozhi is the most famous and powerful elephant team, although Jiaozhi has been attached to my Dayan over the years, but the combat power of this elephant team has not been weakened, but I and Zhaoyang and the seventeenth brother have carefully studied how to deal with the elephant team, father, the seventeenth brother asked for the order to lead 40,000 iron cavalry to exterminate Jiaozhi, and then there are garrison troops in Ningzhou and Tubo, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to destroy Jiaozhi!" ”

"Why do you three brothers think about destroying Jiaozhi, just because Jiaozhi and Xiliang and Northern Wei have changed?" Murong Ren looked at Murong Xuanjue and asked with some puzzlement.

In response to Murong Ren's question, Murong Xuanjue was stunned for a moment before saying: "Actually, at first, I only thought that these 100,000 iron horsemen had been trained, but the soldiers who had never been on the battlefield and had never seen blood were afraid that it would be difficult to take on a big responsibility, so I thought that in the spring of next year, Brother Seventeen and I would take the soldiers out to train and suppress bandits, so that these soldiers could see it, so as not to domesticate the lone wolf into a courtyard dog!" ”

"Just talking, Zhaoyang said to let Brother Seventeen go to the southwest, and the garrison troops of Ningzhou and Guilin County changed guards, but there was no official court document, Zhaoyang felt that there must be something strange in this, so he thought that Brother Seventeen would lead a team to the southwest to investigate, better He has been looking at Jiaozhi is not pleasing to the eye, and by the way, he deters Jiaozhi, and thinks that the Northern Wei Dynasty in the northwest is also a little abnormal, and Erchen wants to take 20,000 soldiers and horses along the northwest to go around, and by the way, also inquire about the situation of the frontier garrison army!"

Murong Xuanjue glanced at Murong Ren, coughed lightly and said: "Zhaoyang dislikes these three barbarian states are not good things, clamoring to destroy their country sooner or later, the seventeenth brother was also enthusiastic by what he said, so he called in front of the little emperor uncle to lead the team to the southwest to unite with the local garrison to directly destroy Jiaozhi, and then it is to destroy Jiaozhi, which is also a deterrent to Xiliang and Northern Wei, and after all, Jiaozhi is dependent on my Dayan, and it is a vassal state of my Dayan, whether it is Xiliang or Northern Wei, they dare not and cannot have an opinion on this!" ”

"Brother Seventeen's words, Zhaoyang agrees very much, we have deduced countless times on the sand table, this pair of Jiaozhi, my Dayan's troops can be crushed directly, but Zhaoyang doesn't want to displace Li Shu because of the war, so he wants to take Jiaozhi at the smallest cost, it's really disgusting to do things in this Jiaozhi, Zhaoyang's temperament that is dedicated to my Dayan Jiangshan is strange if it doesn't explode!"

Murong Ren looked at his son with a bit of "Zhaoyang", and said a little sternly: "The war really can't be started casually, after all, in the war, it is the people of Li Shu who suffer, Zhaoyang, this kid is a little anxious, after all, these 100,000 iron horsemen have not been on the battlefield, and this combat power is ......."

"Father, we didn't think about destroying Jiaozhi because of Zhaoyang, we have carefully and repeatedly deduced countless times, and we don't worry about victory or defeat at all, but we have to find a good excuse to send troops, and we can't let the people of the world think that I am arrogant and domineering, start a national war at will, and don't take the people of Li Shu to heart!"

Murong Xuanjue looked at Murong Ren and said seriously: "Father, we have discussed with Uncle Xiaohuang, and Uncle Xiaohuang also supported the destruction of Jiaozhi, Zhaoyang said, such a slave with three surnames has no bottom line at all, Zhaoyang said, the world obtained by the ancestors on horseback, we juniors can open up the territory, can't we also leave a name in history!" ”
