This year has been another year of good weather, and it should be said that the past few years have been quite smooth. However, Fu Jian was not happy at all, and no one in the Qin State who had a little foresight was happy.

In the confrontation with the Tang State, they are already at a complete disadvantage, and in order to maintain the 600,000 army, they can only desperately squeeze the people.

On the contrary, the Tang Kingdom can be described as thriving.

Moreover, the Tang people seem to be deliberately undermining their self-confidence, and do not prohibit their people from inquiring about the news.

You want to send spies, right? Yes, there is no need to hide it at all, you can just show your identity wherever you want to see, and it is no problem to visit the barracks.

But it's this kind of conspiracy that makes people even more desperate, and you don't know how to win when you hit a famous brand.

The more they learned about the Tang Kingdom, the more desperate they became.

Fu Jian has a clear understanding of the future, and if he continues to drag on, the Qin State will only be more miserable, maybe next year or the year after tomorrow, the people who can't survive will rebel.

And once domestic production is destroyed, the 600,000 troops in front will lose food, and with it...... It is very appropriate to describe the situation in the Qin State as dangerous.

Now it's up to you to see when that string breaks.

But he is not a person who sits still, and he must find a way out before this string breaks, but where is this way out?

Before he could get along with this problem, he encountered another head-on attack.

Wang Meng came to the palace with an anxious face and said, "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the acting king intends to move west. ”

Fu Jian's face changed drastically, and he said, "What? Is the message accurate? ”

Wang Meng said: "The news sent back by the secret agent buried next to the acting king a few years ago will not be false. I also had people do a survey, and Daiguo was indeed moving people to the northwest. ”

Fu Jian said: "Didn't they move the people to deal with Murong Chui's harassment? ”

Wang Meng smiled bitterly: "Because of this, we didn't have the slightest doubt before. ”

Fu Jian was angry and angry, and said, "Tuoba Shiyi key mistook me." ”

Wang Meng said: "Your Majesty, there may be room for redemption in this matter. ”

Fu Jian said expectantly: "What does Prime Minister Wang think? ”

Wang Meng said: "It's winter now, the north is cold and covered with heavy snow, even if Daiguo wants to run, he has to wait for the snow to melt in spring." ”

"Now that the north is warming, we may be able to take advantage of this opportunity to do something."

Fu Jian said: "Prime Minister Wang, please speak clearly." ”

Wang Meng said: "I have two ways, the first is to find a chance to fight with the Tang State, if I can win, it will boost morale, and temporarily extinguish the determination of the king to flee north." ”

Fu Jian shook his head and said, "I don't want to fight with Tang Guo, but they don't give this chance at all." What is the second option? ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Wang Meng's face, and he said: "Not everyone in the bitter cold in the north wants to move away, we can contact these people......"

Then he made a gesture of cutting his neck, which meant to support the opposition to overthrow the Tuoba Shi wing key by force.

Fu Jian didn't like such a conspiracy very much, but at this time, he couldn't help it, so he said, "How sure are you?" ”

Wang Meng said: "Tuoba Jin, the king of Gaoliang County, has a grudge against Tuoba Shiyi Key because he failed to inherit his father's territory, and he can be used by me. ”

Fu Jian said: "This matter will be handled by you, Prime Minister Wang, and there is no need to tell me." ”

"Yes." Wang Meng knew his temper, and it was already the limit to be able to agree to use such a means, and it was basically impossible for him to do it himself.

However, there is a good saying, blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and before he has time to do it, more bad news comes one after another.

Karasuma and Ding Zero troops plundered the place.

Fu Jian was furious and wanted to send someone to ask for the crime, but was desperately stopped by Wang Meng and others.

Counseling the doctor Wang You said: "The Tang State is the great enemy, if we force Karasuma and Ding Lingren to rebel, it will be unfavorable to us." ”

Wang Meng said: "We have actually guessed this kind of thing a long time ago, Karasuma and Ding Ling are already fighting in the guest army, and the time is short, and there will be trouble after a long time." ”

"It is precisely because they know this that they are so arrogant, Your Majesty must not be in a hurry to fall for them."

Fu Jian knew the priority of the matter, and suppressed his anger and said, "Do you just let them do things?" How do I give an account to all the people of the world? ”

Wang Yu said: "Send a messenger to warn them not to do anything again, and at the same time to appease the people who have been violated...... At present, the Tang State is the great enemy. ”

Fu Jian had to swallow this breath and sent a messenger to the camp of Karasuma and Ding Ling, warned them, and took out some grain and grass to compensate the victims.

However, there is a saying that the gourd is pressed and the scoop is raised, and the Qin State is a country composed of many tribes, and the internal forces are complicated.

If the country is strong and thriving, some internal contradictions are nothing, and once the imperial court shows weakness, it will immediately rise together.

At this time, it was the Tiefu people who occupied Shuofang County, that is, the remnants of the Xiongnu, and Liu Weichen, the leader of the Tiefu, was a ferocious, cunning, and changeable person.

first killed his nephew and set himself up as king, and then repeatedly jumped between the two countries in the Qin Dynasty. Surrender to Daiguo today, join Qin tomorrow, and vote for Daiguo the day after tomorrow......

In short, he is either rebelling or on the way to rebellion.

A few years earlier, he had rebelled and was defeated by Deng Qiang and captured alive, but Fu Jian's Woman's Benevolence had the upper hand again, and instead of killing him, he continued to rule the Tiefu people.

However, with this lesson, he can be regarded as seeing the strength of the Qin State, and he does not dare to double-face.

However, it was not that he had changed his character, but that he knew that Qin Guoqiang was afraid of being killed and did not dare to move.

Now that Qin and Tang are facing each other, the Qin State is at an all-round disadvantage, and his heart has begun to waver again.

But before he was beaten out of the psychological shadow and didn't dare to move easily, he has been waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity came.

Karasuma and Ding Lingren plundered the place, and Fu Jian had already sent troops to fight before, but now he just sent an envoy to reprimand him.

What does this mean?

So he also took action, and what he did was even more brutal than the Karasuma people, not only robbing food and property and bullying women, but also openly robbing border people as slaves.

In short, for a while, Shuofang County became like hell.

Fu Jian's lungs were about to explode after hearing about this incident, but he didn't know if he regretted sparing Liu Weichen's life in the first place.

The impact of the Tiefu Turmoil was not comparable to that of Karasuma Dingling, and for a while, the people in the country were panicked, and the leaders of the various tribes who were subservient to the Qin State because of their power gradually had other thoughts.

Fu Jian and Wang Meng both knew that they couldn't bear it anymore this time, and they had to strike with thunder to shock people's hearts.

So he sent Zhang Hao to lead an army of 50,000 to quell the rebellion.

This time, Fu Jian has also made up his mind that he must kill Liu Weichen and will never tolerate the adulterer.

However, Liu Weichen's actions once again surprised everyone, he did not try to resist, and before the Qin army arrived, he had already packed up his belongings and fled to the northwest with his tribe.

Only Shuofang County, which was reduced to ruins, was left to the Qin State.

And the border army of Daiguo, which stood in front of them, seemed to have not seen it, and let them cross the border and plunge headlong into the northwest desert.

At this time, everyone reacted, Liu Weichen's rebellion was not improvised, but premeditated, the purpose was to loot and then flee to the desert to continue to live a nomadic life.

To put it bluntly, he didn't believe that Qin could compete with Tang State, and chose to leave the game early to preserve his strength.

This was a fatal blow to the already precarious Qin State, and people's hearts began to float. It can be said that except for Fu Jian's henchmen and Fu clan's relatives, most people's minds have become lively.

And that's not all, more deadly blows are yet to come.

Before Wang Meng planned to let Tuoba Jin rebel, everything was planned smoothly.

However, between the two countries in the Qin Dynasty, it was precisely the territory of the Tiefu people, and Liu Weichen made a rebellion, coincidentally cutting off the communication between the two countries in the Qin Dynasty.

As a result, the promised support of the Qin State did not arrive in time, and Tuoba Jin was defeated. The key is that he put all the pots on Qin Guo's head in order to survive.

Acting Wang Tuoba Shi Yijian publicly reprimanded Fu Jian and Wang Meng for being villains, and announced the end of the alliance on the spot. Then they hurried to gather their people and wealth to prepare for the evacuation.

For a time, there was an uproar among all forces.

Karasuma, Ding Ling and other troops also began to shrink their forces, faintly guarding against the Qin army, and withdrawing if the momentum was not right.

Zhang Tianxi of Liangguo was even more direct, and immediately recalled a part of the army and deployed it on the border between the two countries.

The original anti-Tang alliance was on the verge of collapse, and Fu Jianjun also knew that things were not good, so he denied it while sending people to lobby various forces.

However, it was already too late, and half a month later, Tuoba Shiyi Jian took the princes and nobles across the Yin Mountain to Mobei on the grounds of inspecting the place.

What kind of patrol should go to Mobei? Do you want to take the princes and nobles with you? He was obviously afraid of the strength of the Tang Kingdom, and fled north like Liu Weichen.

At this time, the anti-Tang alliance that Qin had barely formed officially collapsed.

……

In the palace of King Qin, Wang Meng knelt down and said: "It is the minister's unconfidential behavior that has ruined His Majesty's important affairs, please deal with it Your Majesty." ”

Looking at Wang Meng, who was much older, Fu Jianjian couldn't say any reproach, and personally helped him up and said:

"If Wang Xiang is this, this matter is my permission, how can I blame you. If you want to blame, I can only blame myself, I shouldn't have let Liu Weichen live with the kindness of a woman back then. ”

The perfect plan, because Liu Weichen's chaos revealed flaws, Fu Jian finally tasted the bitter fruit of his brewing.

Just as the two of them were discussing how to deal with the current situation, another piece of information came: "Karasuma and Ding Ling have also withdrawn, and our people have been injured by them when they try to stop them." ”

The two looked at each other, and then Fu Jian said with a dejected face: "Let's go, let's go, let's go, our logistics pressure is less." ”

Wang Meng seemed to think of something, and looked at it before he threw himself down the map, and the more he looked at it, the heavier his face became, and said, "I'm afraid things are not so simple...... You see. ”

Waiting for Fu Jian to come over, he said: "Murong Chui has already led troops to take over Shengle, Pingcheng, Daning and other places, and can cut off our road to the north at any time. ”

Fu Jian said: "It's winter when the Yellow River is frozen, and I can't ask for him if he dares to do this." ”

There are many grasslands and few cities in the country, and if you want to block the border, you can only rely on manpower, or rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River. However, it is only February, and the ice age of the Yellow River has not yet passed.

If Murong Chui dared to do this, he would dare to lead his troops across the Yellow River to fight the opponent in the field.

Wang Meng said: "Murong Chui is waiting, and when the ice age of the Yellow River passes, their sailors can follow the Yellow River into the Hetao area." ”

"At that time, the combination of land and water will be able to completely complete the blockade and lock us in this corner."

"Karasuma and Ding Ling must have seen this before they said goodbye, and they were also afraid that the ice age would be blocked here. The most worrying thing now is that they may not be the only ones who think this way. ”

Since the Yongjia Rebellion, all tribes have known that the Han Dynasty of the Celestial Empire has fallen, and the Central Plains has become a world of foreign races.

Many tribes have migrated here, and some have even traveled thousands of miles with their families to settle here.

Some of these tribes have been annexed and disappeared in the long river of history, and some are still tenaciously surviving, and there are many such tribes in the Qin State.

Seeing that the Qin State was about to fall, and the Tang State, which regarded itself as the inheritor of the Han Dynasty, was about to dominate the world, they were likely to choose to return to their original place of residence.

Now is the last chance for them to escape, otherwise there will be nowhere to escape when the Yellow River melts and the Tang State Navy fleet sails over.

The truth was similar to what they had guessed, and there was a daily migration of alien forces for the next period of time.

Naturally, the Qin State would not let them leave, and it would be really over if these people ran away. At first, they also adopted the method of persuasion, but later when they saw that persuasion did not work, they switched to strong.

The honest ones are okay, but whoever dares to make a move directly sends an army to suppress it and kill the tribal leaders and nobles.

The iron-blooded means did work, and all the ministries were honest.

But Fu Jianjun and his ministers all knew that this was only temporary, and once given the opportunity, their resistance would be more intense.

Many people expressed puzzlement that the Tang State did not take this opportunity to launch an attack, and many people within the Tang Army questioned this decision.

As the chief planner of the plan, Liu Meng gave the explanation: "When the ice age of the Yellow River is over, our sailors can go upstream, cut off the water transportation of the Yellow River, and Pingyang, Hongnong, Hedong, Puban and other places will fall into our hands." ”

"Then the sailors continued to march into the Hetao area, and cooperated with the army to take Shuofang County, so that our army could smoothly attack the Liang country directly from the land of the original country."

"In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Your Majesty has decided to show mercy to Zhang Tianxi, protect his wife and children, and give him a sum of money to make him a rich man, I believe Zhang Tianxi will make the right choice."

"At that time, the Qin State will be surrounded by us...... Even if they don't fight, they can be trapped to death. ”

Lu Qin said puzzledly: "Our total strength far exceeds that of the Qin State, and we have firearms, so why bother so much if the army directly presses over?" ”

Quite a few nodded in agreement.

Liu Meng's face was solemn and said: "Firearms are not omnipotent, and they will lose when they are in hand-to-hand combat." I know that you are not afraid of sacrifice, but you must be considerate of the soldiers and think about the greatest victory at the lowest cost. ”

"And the war together will inevitably cause a large number of casualties among the people. The reason why His Majesty did not start a hasty war was that he did not want to see this scene. ”

"Our goal is to force Fu Jian down, or force him to fight with us. Let the people of Li people die as little as possible, this can be regarded as a great merit for you and me. ”
