As the war situation in various battlefields across the country has reached a stalemate, the entire land of China can be described as truly boring.

Due to the great drought and natural disasters in Western Qin, grain production plummeted, except for the soldiers of Yuwenzhi and Wancheng, the soldiers of Yongsi and the three states had no military salary, and the grain and grass were also deducted, and the internal political situation was very unstable.

The situation of Eastern Qin is slightly better than that of Western Qin, but the new force of the Shanhu tribe has completely defeated the Turkic tribe, because of the food problem, after the Western Qin swept fruitlessly, the target was placed on the Eastern Qin, and began to plunder the border of the Eastern Qin, Zhao Zhao led the state army to resist the Turkic army, but in the past, the invincible and unfavorable iron cavalry of the Shanhu and the state lost the majesty of the past in the face of the Turks, the battle of Yanmen Pass, Zhao Zhaojun was beheaded 30,000, and the head was set into a Jingguan.

Then the Turkic army looted in Bingzhou, Zhao Zhao only dared to close the city and never go out of the city again, the new Turkic Khan Ashina Daluo, called himself Tianjiao Khan, and even in the middle of the Bingzhou Pingcheng to Zhao Zhao rude, Zhao Zhao was angry and bloody, vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

Min Guan, who got the news in Yecheng, was also shocked, he initially thought that the Turks and Shanhu were as vulnerable, so he didn't take the Turks in his eyes, but now it seems that in addition to Nanqi, the Turks are also the objects that need to be wooed.

Yuan Shan of Western Qin also got the news, and at this time Sima Linhai had returned to Chang'an, and Yuan Shan summoned Sima Linhai in the Humble Administrator's Palace.

Although Sima Linhai was forced to lose Xiangyang City, but Yuan Shan still trusted him, Yuan Shan has grown old after ascending the throne, there is a faint white hair between the temples, he looked at Sima Linhai, and then turned the topic to the north: "Half a month ago, the Turkic and rebel general Zhao Zhao fought outside Yanmen Pass, Zhao Zhao was defeated, Zhao Youzhi pursued Shanhu Qianli in the past, but now his son suffered this defeat, Sima Gong thinks why?" ”

Sima Linhai kept shaking his head while looking at the secret report presented, and then gave his own conclusion: "Compared with his father, Zhao Zhao is not talented, but he is not stubborn and self-serving, and the state army is also a division of a hundred battles, I see that the Turkic army has advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and even has a tactic, which shows that now the gate is already ironclad." ”

Shanhu previously informed Saiwai that the tribal system was followed, and the tribes surrendered to Shanhu, and Shanhu only let the tribes send troops together every time Shanhu sent troops, and there was no good tacit understanding between them.

The Turks now seem to have their own rules, and they practice with the tribes on weekdays, so the gap between the combat power and the state army is not very large, coupled with the battle of Yanmen Pass, the Turks can be said to have all gone south, Zhao Zhao is outnumbered and the crowd should have this defeat, and the proud and state heavy armor iron horse, slow movement, and large physical consumption The shortcomings are infinitely magnified.

Sima Linhai handed the battle report back to the eunuch, sometimes frowning, and sometimes beginning to think intently.

Yuan Shan knew that Sima Linhai must be thinking of an idea, so he didn't urge him, and asked Sima Linhai to make tea again, and he watched other pieces.

I don't know how long it took, Sima Linhai raised his head and was about to say something, but when he saw that Yuan Shan's mind was on the book, he didn't bother, but just drank tea.

Or the eunuch in charge found the clue, so he deliberately took Yuan Shan's tea and called a new pot of tea for him, Yuan Shan raised his head and saw that Sima Linhai had already started to drink tea in a good way, so he knew that he had an idea in his heart.

"Does Sima Gong already have a countermeasure?" Won Sun asked knowingly.

Sima Linhai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in the past, we all regarded the Cypriot Invasion as a chicken, but now the situation is different. The Southern Qi is determined to unite with the north, and is still attacking our Hanging Fortress City recently, why don't we unite with the Turks, unite with the Turks, not only can our border with the DPRK be spared from attack, but also bring endless troubles to the north. ”

After listening to this, although Yuan Shan agreed with Sima Linhai's statement in his heart, he still said with an embarrassed face: "Sima Gong's words, I think it is not unreasonable, but after all, they are all barbarians, and if we form an alliance with barbarians, won't we fall into laughter." ”

Sima Linhai couldn't help laughing, Yuan Shan was quite annoyed when he saw this, and asked in a loud voice, "Why is Sima Gong laughing?" ”

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, Weichen just has a feeling, in the past, when my ancestors unified the country, in the face of the outside of the Saiwai tribes, they could not be wiped out, so that they always have the ability to attack the border, when the north of Daqin was unified, the Shanhu tribe also came to harass every year, and now the north is divided, and the traitors are entrenched in the land of Hebei, and the barbarians who were used to train the army have become tigers that can eat people, if we don't fight, then the traitors will fight for it, and then we will be attacked on three sides, and the country will not be a country."

Yuan Shan suddenly woke up at this time, slapped his head violently and said: "That's right, I take it for granted, Sima Gong thinks that the Hebei traitors will also win over the Turks?" ”

Sima Linhai nodded and said: "Min Guan is a human being, and if he kills Wei Ran's father, he can be cheeky and send his son to Southern Qi as a hostage, in exchange for an alliance with Southern Qi, how can he not form an alliance with the Turks?" ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shan also sighed, and then looked at the disasters reported from various places, threw these books to Sima Linhai, and said helplessly: "Now that I am in a big drought, there are disasters in various places, what to take to form an alliance with the Turks." ”

Sima Linhai didn't even look at these books, but said: "There is one thing, Your Majesty has, and a traitor can't have it." ”

When Yuan Shan heard this, he immediately felt very curious, and then looked at Sima Linhai with an inquiring gaze.

Sima Linhai smiled slightly and said, "An adult prince." His Majesty's son, Yuan Baoye, has reached adulthood, and I heard that the daughter of the Turkic Khan Ashina Da Luoban has also just reached adulthood. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shan's spirit was lifted: "Sima Gong said quickly. ”

"The pseudo-emperor Yuan Frame set up by the traitor is still an immature child, naturally unable to match the daughter of Ashina Da Luo, although the son of Min Guan has become an adult, but after all, Min Guan is still nominally a courtier of Yuan Frame, so only His Majesty's son Yuan Baoye, the prince of my dynasty, is the best choice for the daughter of the Turkic Khan."

In Bingzhou City, Zhao Zhao was lying on the bed, and Yuan Yun personally took care of Zhao Zhao.

Since Zhao Zhao was ridiculed by Da Luo, he couldn't afford to be sick, and his health deteriorated.

Yuan Yun couldn't help but wash her face with tears every day, and she was quite haggard.

Zhao Zhao was also very distressed, but he was defeated at the hands of Ashina Daluo, and he was really shameless to face his soldiers.

"In the past, my father swept thousands of miles outside the city, and all the departments outside the city were terrified when they saw the banner of the Zhao family, but now I was beaten by Da Luo to close the city, which is really a shame for my Zhao family." Zhao Zhao said sadly, and then two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Husbands don't need to be like this, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Lost the first war, the former father-in-law also had the defeat of Lu Hun Valley, and the husband was also famous all over the world before he was flattened. Yuan Yun was relieved while feeding Zhao Zhao medicine.

Zhao Zhao was also helpless, so he could only sigh uncontrollably, and at this moment, news reached Bingzhou, and Zhao Zhao hurriedly let people in.

The person who came was Wang Qi, who had disappeared for a long time, since Wang Qi assisted Wei Ran in splitting the Northern Qin with a plan, he wanted to return to the Southern Qi Dynasty, but because he was quite close to Zhao Zhao, he stayed in the north to find out the news for Zhao Zhao.

Yuan Shan is naturally happy to see Wang Qi such a person from the Southern Dynasty, Wei Ran Xingchen is in Chang'an, so Wang Qi is quite open in the East and West Qin.

Wang Qi came overnight, all the way, and when he saw Zhao Zhao, he said to him: "I got the news that Yuan Shan plans to let his son Yuan Baoye marry the daughter of Ashina Daluo as the crown princess, that is, the future queen, this matter is very important, and General Zhao must stop it." ”

When Zhao Zhao heard this, he suddenly got up from the bed: "Is this true? ”

Wang Qi nodded hurriedly: "There is no doubt that when I left Chang'an, Yuan Shan was already arranging envoys." ”

Zhao Zhao suddenly sweated anxiously: "How can this be good, once the Turks and Western Qin form an alliance, and in the future, they will specifically attack the border of our DPRK, where will I have the strength to fight back to Guanzhong." ”

However, Yuan Yun saw it more thoroughly, and said to Wang Qi: "Since Mr. is here, he must have already taken some countermeasures?" ”

But Wang Qi did shake his head and said: "This is an unsolvable proposition, Yuan Frame is too young to marry the daughter of Ashina Da Luo as the queen, and the identity of the son of Min Guan is not enough to be valuable in the Yuan Bao industry. ”

But Zhao Zhao interrupted Wang Qi's words at this time, Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up at the moment, and said: "Who said that you can't marry her, Your Majesty is already ten years old, so what's the harm in marrying a queen first?" The matter of the round house can be slowed down a little, and the person will be married in first. ”

Then Zhao Zhao summoned his cronies under the gaze of the stunned Yuan Yun, and then asked Yuan Yun to send a handwritten letter to Yecheng, Chen Ming was very powerful, and then made his own opinion, planning to send someone to the Turks to ask for Ashina Da Luo.

Just when Zhao Zhao was struggling with the candidate, Wang Qi volunteered and said: "Let me go, I have been doing business outside Cyprus for many years, and I have also gained some good reputation." ”

Zhao Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately planned to send personal guards to escort Wang Qi out of the customs, and Wang Qi solemnly told Zhao Zhao before leaving the customs: "General Zhao, you can think about it, this trip is to be cut first and then played, if Min Guan does not allow it, he will form a mortal enemy with the Turks." ”

Although Zhao Zhao's heart was shaken for a while, he still nodded firmly.

After Zhao Zhao's letter was delivered to Yecheng, Min Guan was also shocked, especially when he saw Zhao Zhao asking Yuan Frame to go to Ashina's daughter as the queen, his jaw dropped even more.

"Yuan Frame is only ten years old." Min Guan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, the ten-year-old emperor married a sixteen-year-old woman, this is not ridiculous and generous.

But Zhao Zhao's proposal is not unreasonable, since Yuan Shan wants to use the name of the crown princess and the future queen to hang Ashina Da Luo, I will directly give Ashina Da Luo's daughter the position of queen, wouldn't it be more secure.

But Min Guan thought about one more point, Yuan Frame is no different from an ignorant child now, and if he has been accompanied by the daughter of Ashina Daluo for a long time, will he become a puppet of the Turkic tribe.

Just when Min Guan was in a dilemma, the subordinate suddenly said: "Master, the young master has sent a letter from Henan." ”

Min Guan was curious about why Min Shiyuan had a letter here, although he was suspicious, he still subconsciously accepted the letter.

I saw Min Shiyuan write in the letter

Father's Father:

When the child heard that the Turks had invaded and annexed the state, General Zhao lost his troops and lost his generals, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, which was quite heartbroken. However, when he heard that Yuan Shan intended to use his son Yuan Baoye to marry the daughter of Ashina Da Luo, the child suggested that His Majesty send an envoy out of the customs to ask His Majesty to marry the daughter of Ashina Da Luo. First, now that the war in Henan is tight, and Western Qin is constantly increasing its troops, this battle is protracted, and the rear must be peaceful. Second, the Turkic combat power is not as good as before, and now it is the army of the tigers, if it can unite with the Turks to send troops to the pass, it will naturally be more reliable than Southern Qi Weiran.

The child knows that his father is worried about the public opinion of the world, and he does extraordinary things at extraordinary times, His Majesty is ignorant, for the sake of His Majesty's body, he can let the daughter of Da Luo Ben be alone in the palace, and eat and drink well every day.

After His Majesty became an adult, he tried every means to prevent the birth of a prince from the Great Law, which would ensure the purity of the bloodline, and the Turkic Khan would have nothing to say.

Finally, the child wants to tell his father that today's passive situation is only temporary, to recapture the land of Henan, and drive all the troops of Yuanshan back to Guannei, and now Wei Ran has sent troops to attack the city of Hanging Gu and Pengcheng, when Yuanshan can only retreat to the south of the Yellow River, the barren land west of Tongguan, once the national strength of our dynasty is restored, Yuanshan will be defeated, so the matter of uniting the Turks can not be neglected, and it should be done quickly.

After Min Shiyuan's letter was read, his heart was at ease, so he wrote back to Zhao Zhao and asked him to do it quickly.

In Heyang City, Min Shiyuan stroked his forehead, looking quite tired.

Pengcheng's reinforcements have all been spared to go to Luoyang, and Luoyang City and Kim Yong City have now assembled more than 100,000 Huainan troops.

Originally, according to Min Shiyuan's plan, he and Fu Yuan were empty here, and launched a fierce attack when Luoyang's grain and grass were exhausted.

However, Yu Wenzhi had already seen through Min Shiyuan's intentions, and sent people to cross the Yellow River overnight to attack Min Shiyuan's camp on the north bank of the Yellow River, conquering several camps overnight, and then plundering to the north.

This made Min Shiyuan shocked, thinking that it was because Luoyang was now full of troops, and Yu Wenzhi felt that there was really no need to accompany Fu Yuan to guard Luoyang, so he dared to boldly send troops.

After Fu Yuan learned of Yu Wenzhi's actions, he also understood a thing or two in his heart, so he sent troops from Kim Yong City and also launched an attack on the Duan Rival army stationed on the east side of it, Duan Rival was defenseless and was repelled for twenty miles, and many supplies were taken by Fu Yuan.

After Min Shiyuan got the Quartet battle report, he already had a headache, so he had to send people to pursue Yuwenzhi first, but Yuwenzhi began to fight guerrilla warfare, using the geographical location of Tiandu, attacking and retreating, which made Min Shiyuan realize that if he wanted to completely repel Yuwenzhi, he must capture Tiandu, so he immediately transferred 50,000 troops to attack Tiandu.

But as soon as he got out of the city gate, he got another news that Fu Yuan's army had left Luoyang and was stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, with the intention of crossing the river to attack Heyang.

This made Min Shiyuan suddenly sober up, Yuwen Zhi had already seen his plan clearly, and now he really lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, he now regrets putting Pengcheng reinforcements into Luoyang, otherwise he may let Nanqi get Pengcheng for nothing, and he is even more in an embarrassment.
