Chapter 0354 - Lips and Teeth Cold
This was a last resort, because Murong Xianbei's soldiers were so strong that Goguryeo was almost forced to the brink of extinction!
The Xianbei people and the Goguryeo people fought hundreds of major wars in the past few decades.
Beginning in 342 AD, the Yan Kingdom launched another war against Goguryeo, and the Yan army inflicted heavy losses on the Goguryeo army.
The Xianbei people also excavated the tomb of King Micheon, the ancestor of the King of Goguryeo, abducted the body of King Micheon and the biological mother of King Goguryeo, Zhou, and looted all the gold and silver accumulated by Goguryeo over the dynasties, captured more than 50,000 people of Goguryeo, and finally burned down the palace of Goguryeo and turned the city of Marudu into flat ground again.
The following year, Goguryi rebuilt the old Maruto Castle, which had been destroyed by Muqiujian's Eastern Crusade, and moved to Marutsu Castle again in the autumn of the same year. Four months later, Maruto Mountain Castle was destroyed again!
In the third year, the king of Goguryeo sent his younger brother to Longcheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, to pay tribute. Murong Hao returned the body of King Michuan and still detained King Goguryeo's biological mother Zhou, after which Goguryeo was greatly injured and no longer had the ability to resist Murong Xianbei.
And in October last year, according to the information obtained by Ran Min, Murong Ke attacked Goguryi again and easily captured Nansu City (8 kilometers south of today's Wulongshan City, 8 kilometers away from Suzi River)!
The Goguryeo people had no choice but to ask for reinforcements.
No matter what kind of words he used, Ran Min just didn't let go, he kept prevaricating, and in desperation, Tan Qian could only make his own bottom line: "King, as long as you promise to form an alliance with my Goguryeo, and give military assistance, send troops to attack Yan when necessary." I, Goguryeo, am willing to pay tribute to the Wei state, and my king is also willing to pay tribute to the king, offering 3,000 good horses, 1,000 cattle and sheep each year, and treasures such as pearls, agate, and rhinoceros horns worth 3 million yuan! ”
"The conditions offered by your envoy are really tempting." Ran Min laughed and said, "But please forgive the widow for not agreeing." ”
"Why?" Tan Qian was very puzzled, he had already offered such harsh conditions, why didn't Ran Min agree?
Ran Min said lightly: "Whether it is horses, cattle and sheep, or rare treasures, I have no shortage of Great Wei, as for whether you Goguryeo bows down to the widows, the widows don't care." If the king of Goguryeo just wants to exchange for reinforcements from my Great Wei and horses at this price, and reach a military flattery, please go back. ”
"This ......" Tan Qian's face was very ugly, "King Wei, please think twice about my Goguryeo in the Great Wei, there is a feeling of death in the lips and teeth, if Goguryeo dies, Murong Xianbei's next target must be the Wei State!" ”
"The widow is not afraid of Murong Xianbei!" Ran Min said loudly.
Tan Qian sighed again and said, "King, please think about it again." Even though Wei is not afraid of Murong Xianbei, isn't it afraid that Xianbei people are herding horses south? Since ancient times, according to the Mobei, all invaded the Central Plains in the south to obtain materials for the winter, if the Xianbei people became a general trend, wouldn't they be like the Huns of the year, from time to time to invade the Central Plains? Even if the king is not afraid of the Xianbei people, but what about the people on the border? Don't you care about their safety? ”
"I don't bother you with this."
"O king, do you want to sit idly by and watch my Goguryeo being swallowed up by the Xianbei people? I won't hide it from you, my lord, right now, according to the information my king has obtained, Murong Xianbei has begun to gather troops in Dragon City, no less than 400,000 people! These 400,000 horses, how can I, Goguryeo, resist it! ”
400,000 horses?
Ran Min and the ministers present were stunned, where did the 400,000 soldiers of Yan Kingdom come from.
This must be an exaggeration, Murong Hao can really blow it, but the Yan army does not have 400,000 horses, and there should still be 200,000, Goguryeo knows this, but in order to express the severity of the situation, Tan Qian still followed the data typed out by the Xianbei people.
Tan Qian said in a deep voice: "King, the Xianbei people sent troops this time is different from the past, and they are even more determined to win Goguryeo!" Murong Hao sent an envoy to my Marudu City not long ago, if he does not destroy our Goguryeo and occupy the Korean Peninsula, he vows not to give up his army! ”
"And...... And now there are different voices in my Goguryeo dynasty, and the Chinese Wudu is divided into two factions, one faction of the main battle, and the other faction of the main peace, but the main peace, in fact, the lord surrenders, because before that, our king has sent an envoy to Longcheng, and the Xianbei people have bowed down to the people, and now the Xianbei people are still raising troops to suppress the territory, I think they are determined to destroy my Goguryeo! My king had no choice but to ask for help from Great Wei, if the foreign ministers were not allowed to reinforce the troops, and the Great Wei did not reinforce my Goguryeo, Goguryeo could only surrender to the Yan State! ”
Ran Min was speechless.
The Goguryeo people are forcing him to send troops to intervene in the war in the Boliao area!
If the Goguryeo people really surrendered to the Yan Kingdom, Murong Xianbei's iron cavalry would definitely take the opportunity to level the Korean Peninsula.
Since ancient times, there have been three countries on the Korean Peninsula, one Goguryeo, one Silla, and one Baekje, the strongest of which is Goguryeo, and once Goguryeo is surrendered and surrendered without a fight, it is conceivable that the remaining Silla and Baekje will definitely cease to exist.
Although Ran Min turned a blind eye to Yan Guo's expansion behavior and turned a blind eye, it didn't mean that he could tolerate the further expansion of Murong Xianbei's power!
It is conceivable that if Yan State annexed the Korean Peninsula, the rest of the people must not be able to withstand the fierce offensive of Yan State, and they will be finally wiped out. Immediately afterwards, even if Murong Xianbei's troops did not point to the Central Plains, they would not be able to resist the Yan Kingdom's westward expedition and destroy the Dai Kingdom in the west!
Ran Min must not watch Murong Xianbei unify the north and unify the entire Xianbei tribe!
The Xianbei people are another powerful steppe people in the north after the Xiongnu. I want to unify Xianbei with Tanshihuai, seize the homeland of the Xiongnu, defeat Fuyu in the east, attack Wusun in the west, and chase Ding Ling in the north, and establish another powerful grassland empire.
Ran Min didn't want to have such a powerful neighbor in his north!
The Wei State has not yet been unified, if it is entangled with such a strong Xianbei people, how long will it take to be unified?
Of course, Ran Min also knows very well that according to the tenacious and unyielding character of the Goguryeo people, it is almost impossible to defeat them and defeat them, unless they are wiped out by the Goguryeo people, otherwise it is impossible to get the Korean Peninsula.
Talking about Qian, this is threatening him Ran Min!
But Ran Min had to admit that he really couldn't be indifferent to such a threat.
Looking at Ran Min's rather solemn expression, Tan Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Xun Ji jumped out again.
"The king, the minister thinks that he should not send troops to meddle in the affairs of Boliao at this time."
"Oh? Why? ”
Xun Ji said eloquently: "There are three reasons. First, our Great Wei Kingdom is in a critical period of law change, and we should not fight at every turn, so as not to hurt the foundation and destroy the law change plan! ”
"Second, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Murong Xianbei really destroys Goguryeo, takes Silla and Baekje, and completely annexes the Korean Peninsula, what does it have to do with my Great Wei? The land of North Korea is barren, barren, and sparsely populated, its people live by fishing and hunting, poor mountains and bad waters, and unruly temperament, even if the Xianbei people take the Korean Peninsula, I am afraid that they will not be popular with the people, but there will be riots from time to time! It's inevitable. ”
"Third, now that the Yan State has declared itself a vassal to my Great Zhao, and has signed a friendly and non-aggression and non-interference pact with my Great Wei State, it is an ally, Murong Hao is still a courtier of the Great Zhao and the vassal king of the Great Zhao in name, so why should we provoke the Xianbei people for the sake of Goguryeo?"
Hearing Xun Ji's words, Ran Min bowed slightly, without words.
Xun Ji is worthy of being a diplomat, and this vision is unique.
But Tan Qian hated Xun Ji so much, uncle, did Lao Tzu dig your ancestral grave or cuckold you, and let you scare me like this?
"Dawang ......" Tan Qian had just thought about it, and here Ran Min asked Wang Meng on the side again: "Jingluo, what do you think about this?" ”
Wang Meng bowed and said, "King, the minister agrees with Xun Ji's opinion. For the sake of Goguryeo and harming the Yan Kingdom, it really shouldn't be. And now my Great Wei Kingdom is in a critical period of changing the law, and it is not conducive to changing the law by making a big move, so please think twice about it. ”
With Wang Meng's words, it can be regarded as a complete death sentence against Goguryeo!
