The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are almost all mountainous, with a cold climate, and do not have much economic and cultural significance, but it is the barrier of the Central Plains, the gate, and the place where it has to be.

Even if a strong man a thousand years earlier, he could almost completely defeat the Huns by relying on national strength, Wei and Huo attacked like a cat and mouse looking for the Huns to fight, and the Huns had little power to fight back in a head-on confrontation!

By the time of the Tang and Song dynasties, human civilization was no longer as far apart as it was a thousand years ago, and the Han civilization had something.

The nomadic civilization may not be much, but it is not lagging behind, the Song Dynasty could not crush them, but was constantly harassed by aggression, until they retreated again and again, retreated to Lin'an, retreated to the ship, and then retreated to the sea, and because they could not exert a strong influence on the north for hundreds of years, there was a logical anomaly of backward productive forces ruling over advanced productive forces, and the root cause was in these sixteen states!

There is an answer analysis that these sixteen states are the weak shield of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Shi Jingjiao is behind the black pot, and he deliberately emphasized that Shi Jingjiao is not Han.

Shi Jingjiao was born in Taiyuan in 892, Taiyuan has always been dominated by Han civilization, and Shi Jingjiao also received an orthodox Chinese civilization education.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty itself was the most open dynasty in ancient times, and many officials and generals in the Tang Dynasty were non-Han people, Shi Jingjiao's bloodline could not be a reason to dump the pot, and the sinners of history were the sinners of history, which could not be washed away casually.

Ran Min is well aware of the greed of the Xianbei people.

At present, Shi Qi has made such tempting conditions for Murong Hao and Tuoba Shiyijian, as long as they can help Shi Yi eliminate him Ran Min and ascend to the throne, they will cede Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liaoxi to them, this is like a big piece of fat thrown out to a hungry wolf, can the hungry wolf eat it?

But Ran Min can't do this, this is a traitor's act!

Well, the ancients rarely felt this way.

Hearing that Ran Min didn't want to tempt Xianbei people, Xun Ji said again: "Then the king can only retreat." ”

"How?"

"There are three strategies for the king to choose. The best policy, the king announced to the world, only Shi Yi was investigated for the crime, and the rest of the princes were not to blame in the past, and they still guarded the place, and the treatment remained the same! In this way, the king could sit back and watch the alliance of princes led by Ishikatsumi collapse without a fight. ”

"In the middle strategy, the king pretended to envelop the Xianbei people. Murong Hao and Tuoba Shiyi were promised Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liaoxi, but they were not given, and after the rebellion was quelled, the king could sit firmly in Diaoyutai. ”

"The next strategy is that the king must quickly destroy the alliance of the princes, and then face the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people!"

Hearing this, Ran Minzai pondered carefully.

"Xun Ji, your best strategy is not very in line with the wishes of the widow. If the widow only wants to destroy Shi Qi, he can win the battle as early as the battle of Cishan, and what the widow wants is to quell all the rebellions in the country, so that the entire Great Zhao Dynasty has only the voice of the widow! ”

"In the middle of the strategy, although the widow doesn't mind playing tricks on the Xianbei people. But Murong Hao and Tuoba Shi Yijian are not fools, and there are not a few people of insight under their command, in case Shi Qi really colludes with the Xianbei people, it will be a devastating blow to my Wei State. ”

"Your plan is very much in line with the wishes of the widow, but it is dangerous. The widow chooses a strategy! ”

"Qin Mu, what do you think?" Ran Min asked Qin Mu, who was speechless, again.

Qin Mu replied, "The minister has no objection. However, the king, although the Hu people all want to destroy our Wei State, they are not of one mind. However, if the king wants to quickly defeat the alliance of the princes, and he wants to go north to conquer the invading Xianbei people, it is extremely difficult, and my Wei country is now an enemy on all sides, and the wolf smoke is everywhere, and the soldiers are not iron-beaten, so that the king's troops will sooner or later become the end of the crossbow. Therefore, the minister suggested that the king might as well make a plan to let the allied forces of the princes of Handan collapse without a fight......"

Dragon City, Yanwang Palace.

After Murong Hao received Shi Qi's call for help, he summoned Feng Yi, Murong Ke and Murong Jun to the palace to discuss important matters.

"At present, the war in the Central Plains is in full swing. This king wants to intervene in it, I don't know if it is feasible? ”

Feng Yi asked, "I don't know what kind of conditions Shi Qi gave to the king?" ”

"Shi Qi sent an envoy to Longcheng and asked the king to send troops south to help him eliminate Ran Min and ascend to the throne, so he ceded Liaoxi and Youzhou to my Yan Kingdom."

Isn't this an empty glove white wolf?

Feng Yi frowned and said, "Great King, the minister thinks that he should not meddle in the war in the Central Plains at this time. The war in the Central Plains was the civil war of the Zhao State, Shi Qi, Zhang Hedu, Duan Qin and others were dissatisfied with Ran Min's monopoly on power, and their prestige was growing day by day, and everyone was in danger, so there was this war of the princes' alliance against Ran Min! ”

"But judging from the battles in Yecheng and Cangting, the alliance of princes is not Ran Min's opponent at all. Hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated, and why? In addition to the Wei army's combat effectiveness is really strong, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, it is nothing more than Shi Qi's incompetence, and the princes from all walks of life have ghosts in their hearts and are not united. ”

"Although the current situation of Ran Min is not optimistic, it has not yet declined. On the western front, Li Nong guarded the Tiger Prison Pass, blocking the attack of Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong, and in the Central Plains, the princes' coalition army was even more defeated, and the defeat had appeared! Now the king has finally reached a mutually beneficial and non-invasive alliance with Ran Min, and in the blink of an eye, he is an enemy of Ran Min, but I am afraid that Ran Min, who can free his hands, will never give up! ”

Hearing this, Murong Hao was also a little hesitant.

The Wei army is still strong and strong, like a fierce tiger, at this time to touch the tiger's buttocks, I am afraid that I will not be pleased.

"Jun'er, what do you think?" Murong Hao asked his son Murong Jun again.

Murong Jun replied: "Father, the sons think that at this time, they should send troops south to compete with the heroes in the Central Plains!" ”

"Why?"

"I live in the north corner of the Yan Kingdom, and the ancestors of the past dynasties have no ambition to go south to the Central Plains, but the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and several great opportunities have been missed by our Xianbei people! And now is another great opportunity. The princes of the Central Plains are fighting, you sing and I appear, and I am very happy, and now Shi Qi invites us to go south, not to mention the Liaoxi and Youzhou that he promised, I believe that with the strong combat power of my Dayan Iron Cavalry, I can definitely take Liaoxi, Youzhou, Qingzhou and even Sizhou and Jizhou! ”

Murong Jun's face turned red, and he said with a very excited expression: "As the so-called sandpiper and clam compete, the fisherman profits." Right now, we're fishermen! Father, son-in-law think that the war against the Fuyu people and the Goguryeo people can be put aside first, and the bitter cold land in the north is always inferior to the rich land of the Central Plains! ”

The words that Murong Jun said really spoke to Murong Hao's heart.

Murong Hao dreamed of entering the Central Plains, Murong Hao was ambitious, since he came to the throne, in just over ten years, he put down the internal rebellion, defeated the Yuwen Department and the Duan Department, repelled the attack of Qian Zhao, broke Goguryeo, and shocked the north!

The bitter cold land in the north is sparsely populated, and the crops in the land cannot grow, so it is naturally not comparable to the anointed Central Plains.

As long as Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Liaoxi are taken, the strength of Yan State can expand dramatically, replacing Zhao State in one fell swoop and becoming the number one power in the world!

"King, think twice!"

Feng Yi had to bite the bullet and say, "Now the Central Plains is fighting, but Ran Min is really difficult to defeat, the princes' coalition army on the front line of Handan is not Ran Min's opponent at all, the princes' coalition army may be defeated at any time, and then we will face more than 100,000 elite soldiers and strong generals of the Wei army!" Dawang, are you really ready to fight Ran Min? ”

"This ......"

Murong Hao couldn't help but hesitate again.

Seeing Murong Ke, who was silent, Murong Hao couldn't help but ask, "Ke'er, what do you think?" ”

"Father, the sons do not agree with your plan to go south to the Central Plains."

"Why?"

"Right now, my Yan Kingdom is still fighting against Goguryeo, and I can't draw too many soldiers and horses out for a while. There are too many soldiers and horses to the south, so we must give up the city and land of Goguryeo that we have fought so hard, and if there are too few soldiers and horses to the south, it is a lack of progress. ”

Murong Ke said with a stern expression: "Father, you must know that you can't become fat by eating in one bite. Take everything slowly, one step at a time! In recent years, our Yan State has successively annexed the Duan Department and the Yuwen Department, seized Liaodong, and destroyed Fuyu and Goguryeo, and the prestige has risen greatly, but we have not had time to digest these territories, and there are many people in the Yan Kingdom who are not convinced. As the saying goes, the outside must first be settled inside, and even the inside has not been appeased, so how can we rest assured to expand the territory? ”

"But the king is in a hurry."

Murong Hao sighed faintly and said, "That's fine." At present, the Central Plains is in a scuffle, and it is estimated that Ran Min will not be able to take care of our Yan Kingdom for a while, and next, we will have a big war against Goguryeo! ”
