At this time, when he saw Ma Qiang, who was "old and cunning", he firmly believed that this "military advisor" who had learned the art of war of the Han people would definitely have a way to change this unfavorable situation and turn things around.

Sima Fuqiang also lived up to the expectations of Emperor Daowu, he had already done special research in this period of history, and this time in order to attack the main line of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he also specially strengthened the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I already knew about Tuoba's behavior during this time, and there was no need for him to explain it at all, and he already had a fixed opinion in his heart.

If he is not mistaken, An Tong can still succeed in borrowing troops on this trip, the key is to see if Liu Xian's side will cause trouble for himself like the historical trajectory. However, with Sima Fuqiang, even if Liu Xian doesn't get into trouble, trouble will take the initiative to provoke him.

Sima Fuqiang immediately set up a plan for Tuoba Jue, that is, to let Liu Xian go to trouble himself, provoke Murong Chui, the big Buddha, to kill him with his own hands.

This matter has to start with the uncles who have a complicated relationship in the Tuoba family, when Liu Weichen succumbed to Liu Kuren, he had the experience of rebellion, and although he was suppressed by a strong bullet, but resentment was always inevitable. After the decline of the former Qin, Murong Chui established the country after Yan, and Liu Weichen took the initiative to declare himself a vassal to Murong Chui in order to break away from the control of Liu Curen's son Liu Xian, and at this time paid tribute to Murong Chui with 3,000 war horses.

Liu Weichen's Tiefu Department was in the northeast of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and tensions between the two sides eased slightly because of the relationship with Tuoba Cave last year. Therefore, after Liu Weichen paid tribute, Yan's war horses took advantage of the Northern Wei Dynasty to prepare to cross the Yanmen Pass and cross the Taihang Jingcheng from Dai County to Murong Chui.

And Liu Xian's territory is in Mayi, which is now Shuozhou, Shanxi in the real world, northwest of Yanmen Pass, next to the southwest of the Northern Wei Dynasty, less than 100 miles away from Dai County, and it is only more than two hours' footsteps.

After listening to Sima Fuqiang's strategy, Tuoba Jue couldn't help but be amazed, and immediately sent people to Mayi overnight to spread the news of Liu Weichen's sacrifice of horses, and clearly conveyed the specific time when the horse team would pass through Dai County.

Sure enough, Liu Xian didn't know what the plan was at all, on the one hand, he coveted the horses of the Tiefu Department, and on the other hand, he also wanted to cause some trouble for his enemies, so he immediately plundered as Sima Fuqiang and Tuoba Jue wanted.

On Houyan's side, Murong Chui was reluctant to send troops to help this unfamiliar Northern Wei wolf, but when he learned of this, he was furious and immediately sent Murong Lin and Murong Kai to lead the army to attack Mayi, on the one hand, to show this evil breath, and on the other hand, to show Tuoba Jue his national strength again.

However, the old and spicy Murong Chui will not be cheap for nothing, before Murong Lin and Murong Kai's army, he still sent a team of envoys to the Northern Wei Dynasty to re-mention the canonization. If Tuoba is still stubborn, even if he doesn't want this batch of horses, he will definitely not send troops to help again.

This time, Tuoba Jue received Sima Fuqiang's allocation, and also understood the important surnames of forbearance and humiliation, and honestly accepted Murong Chui's canonization, and continued to borrow a knife to kill people.

What Tuoba lost was just a temporary false name, and Murong Chui lost the flesh-and-blood Murong Xianbei's disciples, which was quite a pragmatic approach. When Liu became a horse after the break, Murong Chui decided that he could not personally govern this enclave far away from the west of Taihang Mountain, and it was not cheap for his "vassal" Northern Wei Dynasty.

Reinforcements were found, and at the end of June, Tuoba Jue led the Northern Wei army to confront the Dugu Xiongnu north of Yanmen Pass, inducing Liu Xian to expose his belly and back to the imminent Houyan army.

Although Liu Xian wanted to defeat Tuoba Jue in one fell swoop, he had no choice but to catch fire in the backyard of his Dugu Division, which contained part of the troops, and he did not have an advantage over the Northern Wei Dynasty at the moment. Therefore, there are occasional skirmishes between the two sides, but the consumption is not large, which is in line with the meaning of Tuoba.

The time soon came to the beginning of July, and Murong Lin and Murong Kai led the army from Yanmen Pass to the north, just forming a north-south attack with the Northern Wei army. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party did not react, the Houyan army broke Liu Xian outside the Yanmen Pass for a while, forcing the Dugu Xiongnu to flee west in a hurry and retreat to the mountains west of Mayi, in a vain attempt to hold on there.

At this time, Tuoba Jue still wanted to continue to sit back and enjoy his success, so that the Murong Department and the Dugu Department could consume each other's vital strength, but Sima Fuqiang had new advice.

The captain of the East China Sea knew the outcome of this battle, and also knew that the Xiongnu Dugu Department was divided after this battle, and began to embark on the process of being completely Xianbei in the future.

Liu Xian, who suffered a defeat, fled west and took refuge in Murong Yong, Xiyan. And his younger brother Liu Kangni surrendered to Murong Lin and returned to Houyan with him. As for the two brothers Liu Luochen and Liu Lungni, who planned the civil strife in the Dugu Ministry, they followed Tuoba Jue and officially became the predecessor of Dugu Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Liu Luochen's two brothers' father, Liu Jun, was Liu Kuren's younger brother, and after Liu Kuren's death, he inherited the head of the Dugu tribe and his related position in the former Qin. At the beginning, Liu Luochen saw Liu Xian's wolf ambition, so he reminded his father to be careful. It's a pity that Liu Xian didn't care and was ultimately victimized by Liu Xian.

The hatred of these cousins was formed at that time, so there is no doubt about the sincerity of Liu Luochen and his defection to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The key lies in how much of the Dugu Xiongnu's share of the Northern Wei Dynasty can be divided in the post-war benefit distribution after the battle of Mize, which is related to whether the Northern Wei Dynasty can further grow in the future.

After listening to Sima Fuqiang's analysis, Tuoba Jue immediately understood that Liu Xian was already a lamb to be slaughtered after defeating for a while, and he didn't need to consume too much of his strength to clean it up.

Tuoba Jue also has a question, in his opinion, although Liu Luochen and Liu Xian have a grudge against their father, they may not necessarily have to take refuge in the Northern Wei Dynasty. For Sima Fuqiang, it may be history, but for him, it is an unknown future, so he needs a guarantee.

In this regard, Sima Fuqiang naturally would not be stumped, he asked the young man, "For us Xianbei people or Huns, what is the easiest and most practical way to get closer to each other?" ”

Tuoba replied without thinking, "Harmony! ”

His grandfather, Tuoba Shiyiqian, established kinship with the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes through his affinity, and it can be said that there is no major tribe in the entire north that is not a relative of his family. Under the influence of his grandfather, Tuoba Jue didn't know anything else, but he was very familiar with marriage.

Sima Fuqiang nodded, "Liu Luochen has a younger sister, the lord can marry her as the queen, then Liu Luochen will not be willing to seek refuge in Murong Chui." ”

In those years, the men on the grassland regarded the love of their children as dung, not to mention that Tuoba Jue, a male lord who was determined to revitalize the Northern Wei Dynasty, would never give up political considerations for the sake of personal marital happiness, so Emperor Daowu accepted this proposal without hesitation, and asked Sima Fuqiang to take his East China Sea team to do this.

After receiving this task, Sima Fuqiang was mixed. The good thing is that having a task means that they can improve their evaluation, but the worry is that they have to risk going deep behind enemy lines, and what is even more troublesome is how to place the little seven who has no name and no role in the East China Sea team.
