In the north, at the time of the fierce battle between Eastern Qin and Western Qin in Luoyang.

The Turkic Khan Ashina Daluo suddenly sent 100,000 cavalry south to plunder the land west of the Western Qin River.

When the Western Qin Emperor Yuan Shan got the news, he was immediately shocked, and now that he was attacked on three sides, Yuan Shan suddenly felt that the world was spinning.

Since he sent people to envoy to the Turks and returned with his relatives, Yuanshan was actually ready to be attacked by the Turks, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly go south on such a large scale, which had the intention of destroying the country.

At this time, there was an endless debate in the court of the Western Qin Dynasty, and Sikong Cui Jin said at this time: "Your Majesty, now that the Turkic cavalry is going south, most of our army is outside the pass, and the only way to do this is to deploy around Chang'an, and at the same time transfer the army outside the pass back to the pass, so that there is the strength to fight." ”

But Sima Linhai did have a different idea: "The Turkic cavalry is not good at attacking the city, can only plunder in the field, at this time if the troops outside the pass are withdrawn, although the land of Luoyang itself is also taken by us, but since then I have been under the threat of Minguan Tongguan, day by day guard, it is very unfavorable to our dynasty, if Minguan and the Turks come again, we will not sit still." ”

The two had a verbal exchange, which made Yuanshan, who was already in an irritable mood, even more depressed.

At this time, Shang Shufu shot Lin Bi out of the column and said: "Your Majesty, the Turks invaded the south, and all they wanted was property, if they sent someone to envoy to the Turks, they promised to lure them with profits, and informed them of their interests, and the Turks would definitely withdraw their troops." After all, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey Heng, if I am not in danger, how will the Turks be left and right in the future? ”

Just when Yuan Shan was wavering, Yuan Shan's son, the crown prince Yuan Bao Ju, suddenly said: "Father, the son has a word. ”

Yuan Shan saw that his son actually took the initiative to participate in the government politics, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and immediately let Yuan Bao Ju speak.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Bao Ju said slowly: "The Turkic soldiers know that my main force is outside the pass, so they dare to be so unscrupulous. Now the Turks are already arrogant soldiers, if we directly donate money and property to the Turks, it will definitely encourage the arrogance of the Turks, and in the future, there will be a small robbery every year, a big robbery in two years, and we will wait for the land in the Guannei, the population will wither, and we will have to support a large number of troops to guard against Minguan, but I am afraid that after a protracted period, our financial affairs will collapse by itself. ”

Seeing Yuan Shan nodding slightly, the voice of the Yuan Bao Torch also became louder: "So the child thinks that he wants to raise his existing strength and fight with the Turks first, even if he fails to win, he must let the Turks see that our dynasty has the ambition and strength to resist them, and then he is sending peace talks, promising to use treasures, and to offer treasures without a fight to show weakness, and to offer treasures after the war to make friends." Min Guan used the position of the queen to befriend Ashina Da Luo, and we can use it to make profits, so as to ensure peace in the future. ”

"Now after the Southern Qi captured the Hanging Gourd, he did not move, Erchen got the news, Wei Ran has returned to Jiankang, I think it is Jiankang has changed, Wei Ran has the power to the government and the opposition, and he has led the troops outside for a long time, and the court naturally cannot be restrained, if Wei Ran is afraid of this, he will not lead the troops outside for a long time in the future, without Wei Ran, I have greatly reduced the pressure on the defense of the south, and I only need to resist Min Guan in befriending the Turks. Not everyone in Hebei is facing Minguan, and when the time comes, our dynasty is not unable to defeat Minguan. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yuan Shan was quite satisfied, but even Sima Linhai and others felt that Yuan Bao Torch had a degree of advance and retreat, knew the interests and disadvantages, and had the appearance of a wise man.

Then Cui Jin was the first to say: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the prince's words are reasonable, but now the only person who can fight with the Turks is General Yuwen, so it is necessary to transfer General Yuwen back from outside the Guan." ”

Yuan Bao Ju said at this time: "There is a hero in Liangzhou, named Lu Guang, who is the younger brother of the former Liangzhou general Lu Yu, who lives in Liangzhou. This person is quite strategic, Erchen suggested using this person, and then the soldiers of Liangzhou fought against the Turks, Liangzhou because of the Yuan solution, has been quite defensive against the imperial court, so that Liangzhou heroes can recover, not only can use Liangzhou soldiers to fight the Turks, but also can make Liangzhou people feel at ease with the imperial court. ”

When Yuan Shan heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he thought of his younger brother Yuan Xi who was killed by Yuan Jie, and he was unhappy in his heart.

But now is the time to employ people, if Liangzhou can be sincerely attached, it is not impossible.

After Yuan Shan pondered for a moment, he said to everyone: "Lu Guang, can this person really be as my son said? ”

Hearing the voice of Yuan Shan's words, Cui Jin immediately added: "Your Majesty, Lu Guang is indeed talented, when he served as the Taishou of Jiuquan in the past, he had defeated Tuyuhun's attacks many times, and then Lu Yu cut himself and Liangzhou surrendered, and Lu Guang resigned, thus preserving the Lu family. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shan couldn't help but say: "In this way, this Lu Guang is also a person who knows the times?" ”

Everyone nodded yes, so Yuan Shan waved his hand: "Just listen to the words of Aiqing, immediately let people go to Liangzhou to restore Lu Guang as the assassin of Liangzhou, and General Dangkou, order him to recruit Liangzhou soldiers, and then mobilize 30,000 troops from Anding and other places, hand them over to Lu Guang, and let him repel the Turks." ”

The Turkic army drove straight into the territory of Western Qin, and the military peak pointed directly at Tongwancheng, which was the old capital of the Xia Dynasty in the troubled times, and was later transformed into a military town by the frustrated canal without wind, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ashina Daluo originally wanted to bypass the Tongwan attack and disturb the surroundings of Chang'an, but was stopped by Ashina Fuji: "The geographical location of Tongwan City is extremely important, if you bypass Tongwan City, it is easy to be attacked by the Qin army behind." ”

Ashina Daluo was originally disdainful, he went south for many days, and all the towns were closed and guarded, allowing them to come and go at will, why did this soldier who ruled ten thousand cities dare to come out lightly?

Ashina Fuji immediately said: "It's different here, go south to the vicinity of Chang'an, and the defenders near Chang'an will definitely fight to resist me, after all, under Yuan Shan's nose, how can they not move?" At that time, if our army encounters resistance from the Qin army, the troops in this city will be exhausted, and our army will be in danger. ”

Ashina Daluo said dissatisfiedly: "Then according to your words, our army is not as good as the class teacher?" ”

Ashina felt a chill, and immediately said: "No, our army can go west to plunder Anding and other places, and I heard that the descendants of Shanhu are now grazing horses in the land of Liangzhou, and Yu Jiulu Honghu is also here, if you can kill Yu Jiulu Honghu, the Yu Jiulu family will be killed and wiped out, and we will have more influence in the grassland, and it will also show that we are the orthodoxy of the immortal sky!" ”

After hearing this, Ashina Daluo thought it was true, and couldn't help but pat his younger brother and said, "I can't imagine that you, a pig brain, can come up with such a good idea." ”

Hearing the scolded pig brain, Ashina's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he still said with a smile on his face: "The Khan is wise and martial, I am ashamed of myself." ”

Ashina Daluo, who was blown by a rainbow fart, was full of joy, and immediately turned the horse's head and marched to Liangzhou.

The general of Tongwan City is now Han Jiu'er, Han Jiu'er saw the Turkic army heading west, and immediately woke up, they did not dare to attack Chang'an, it was very likely that they were going to attack Liangzhou, Yu Jiulu's Shanhu tribes, but nomads, did not like to live in the city, and then a poisonous plan spread in Han Jiu'er's heart.

He summoned his cronies and said: "The imperial court has crowned Lü Guang as the assassin of Liangzhou, you take me to Liangzhou with a letter, find Lü Guang, I have a plan, let him act according to the plan, I will wait for the front and back to attack, or we can defeat the Turkic tribes." Ashina Daluo is also in the array, if this person can be eradicated, the Turks will not dare to invade the south in the future. ”
