Chapter 123: Lord of the Northern Yuan, Tuoba Heavenly Khan!
After speaking, Empress Lu took out the sealed letter.
Although this Zhongshan King said that it was a letter, not a war report.
But, more or less, it is also a secret of the court.
So she didn't check it privately, this is the consciousness of being a queen.
Emperor Jing Xingdi took the letter, tore open the wax, and began to read.
After a moment, he let out a long breath and looked a little sad.
Seeing this, Empress Lu walked behind her and gently pressed her temples with her green and jade fingers.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly as he pressed.
"But what's wrong with Northern Xinjiang?"
Northern Xinjiang is adjacent to the Northern Yuan, and there are countless powerful tribes in it, and almost every year before winter, they will go south to plunder, which really makes the neighboring countries miserable.
And there are only three countries adjacent to the Northern Yuan, Western Qin, Great Chu, and their Great Qian.
Needless to say, the military combat capabilities of the other two are self-explanatory, so most of the time the Northern Yuan people are still robbing big cadres.
Until more than ten years ago, the King of Zhongshan was born, showing a good military talent, and was appointed by Emperor Jingxing as a general to guard the northern frontier.
It's a lot better.
But counting the days, it's time for the Northern Yuan people to go south.
At this time, the letter is not... What really went wrong?
Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and denied Empress Lu's speculation: "Contrary to what you guessed, this year's Northern Yuan did not go south. ”
"What?" Empress Lu's voice was raised a lot, obviously in disbelief: "How is it possible? ”
"Because the Northern Yuan Dynasty has a personal masterpiece - Tuoba Khan!"
"Tuoba Khan? This man dared to take such a name, what a boldness! ”
Khan in the Northern Yuan language, symbolizes the sun, but also symbolizes the king!
It's a bold name.
"Why does Your Majesty call him a master?"
"The northern grasslands are ten times bigger."
"On the grassland, there are many tribes, collectively known as the Northern Yuan."
"Among them, the three major tribes are the most!"
"Tuoba, Duoyan, Yelu!"
"Most of the rest are small and medium-sized tribes, relying on the three major tribes to survive."
"More than ten years ago, the one who attacked my Daqian was the Zuoxian King of the Tuoba Department, Tuoba Peak."
"And this Tuoba Khan is the son of Tuoba Peak."
When Empress Lu heard this, her pupils instantly contracted, and she was surprised: "There is still such a relationship, so this Tuoba Khan still has a little relationship with me." ”
"I'm afraid it's a bad fate." Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and sighed: "Tuoba Peak back then, with great military attainments, was known as the Tuoba Military God. ”
"Under his leadership, the tribesmen of the Tuoba tribe are even more brave and good at fighting, but in a few months, they have called me a great loss of troops, and the northern territory has lost several cities in a row."
"Fortunately, Xiao Gong was born out of thin air, brought eight hundred warriors, and made surprise soldiers around the back, and Tuoba Peak with a blade."
"Only then did the decline stop, and the Tuoba Department died down."
"In this way, this Tuoba Khan, and my Daqian, can be regarded as a blood feud?" Empress Lu asked.
Emperor Jing Xing nodded helplessly: "If it's just like that, it's not worth worrying about me so much. ”
"The point is, although this Tuoba Peak is dead, his position as King Zuo Xian has remained."
"Tuoba Khan defeated many of Tuoba Peak's sons and successfully succeeded to the throne of King Zuoxian."
"Later, after the death of the Tuoba Khan, he won the power struggle as the king of Zuo Xian and succeeded to the throne of the Tuoba Khan."
"From the son of King Zuoxian, all the way to the Khan position, this son is indeed a masterpiece." Empress Lu couldn't help but sigh.
As one of the three major tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the factions in it must be intricate and intertwined.
It is really remarkable that Tuoba Khan was able to succeed to the throne at such a young age under the watchful eyes of so many forces.
"And that's not all!" Emperor Jing Xing's face became more and more bitter, and he said, "Although Tuoba Khan is young, his ambition is great. ”
"After succeeding to the throne of the Tuoba Tribe, he hammered and trained his soldiers and horses day and night."
"A year later, he led a combatable division to attack the Duoyan Division."
"This Yan tribe and the Tuoba tribe are the three major tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Tuoba Khan is young, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make contributions, right?" Empress Lu asked.
Emperor Jing Xing shook his head and said, "Not only that, but Tuoba Khan completely swept through the Duoyan Department in just three months!" ”
Then he took a break for half a year and waved his head again. This time, in less than three months, it only took two and a half months to destroy the Yelu Ministry! ”
"With the collapse of the two major tribes of Duoyan and Yelu one after another, the rest of the small and medium-sized tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are all looking forward to the wind."
"It lasted two years, and Tuoba Khan unified the northern steppe."
"Then he was honored by the rest of the tribes as Tuoba Heavenly Khan, the lord of the Northern Yuan!"
After Emperor Jing Xing finished speaking, Empress Lu's mouth opened slightly, and it was difficult to close for a long time.
"It's... It is terrible that there are such people in the world! ”
Among the three major tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Tuoba was closer to Daqian.
But since Yelu and Duoyan can be as famous as Tuoba, their military strength must not be underestimated.
If nothing else, it can be seen from their opponents.
Yelu borders on Western Qin, and there is a lot of friction.
And Duo Yan is fighting the Son of Heaven and the Great Chu!
Over the years, although there have been many frictions between the two sides, most of them are in a state where no one can beat the other and there are winners and losers for each other.
These two countries, to put it mildly, are beyond the reach of the great cadres!
But it fell into the hands of Tuoba Khan, but it could only last for three months!
Person... It's really a demon!
"If this Tuoba Khan is only a military attainment, it will be fine."
"Brother Kegong said in his letter that he had sent spies to infiltrate the Tuoba Department and found that Tuoba Khan had collected the seeds of their Han crops out of nowhere and were planting them in batches."
When Empress Lu heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and said in shock: "How can this be? ”
The fundamental difference between the Han and the Northern Yuan people is that the latter are nomadic people and do not know how to grow food! Purely by raising cattle and sheep for a living.
Most of the land in the north is also not able to grow food.
But no matter how much you can't plant, you can still find so many dozens of acres of land that can be planted.
If Tuoba Khan could really grow a lot of grain, he would really dig up the roots of the Han people.
"He even formed the Northern Yuan Naval Division to train in the coastal area."
"It's... How could there be such a terrible person in the world? After a series of shocks, Queen Lu was already a little surprised.
A group of people living on the steppe actually thought about building a ship, thinking about building a sailor.
Such an idea, not to mention that there is no one to come, but at least for the people of the Northern Yuan, it is unprecedented.
"The most terrible thing is that this person has a grudge against me!"
"It is impossible not to avenge the revenge of killing his father!"
Emperor Jing Xing sighed and said, "Brother Gong expects that after the spring of next year, he may make a move, so he specially wrote a secret letter to ask the imperial court to mobilize troops and send reinforcements to the northern Xinjiang. ”
When Empress Lu heard this, she couldn't help but nodded.
In the past, Liu Gong, the king of Zhongshan, was only guarding against the Tuoba tribe, and that little force was still alive.
But now, he has to face the entire Northern Yuan!
If the troops are insufficient, it is very likely that even the people will lead the city and the land, and they will not be together!
And the king of Zhongshan is already the most capable general in the entire imperial court, if he is gone, in the face of Tuoba Khan, who will dominate the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty in two years, what is the difference between Daqian and destroying the country?
So this reinforcement must be sent! And there must be no less, as many as you want!
