[Just when the Song and Wei sides gathered on both sides of the Yellow River and the war was about to break out, the Xia monarch Helian Ding sent an envoy to Jiankang to meet with Liu Song to join forces to destroy Wei and divide Hebei: from the east of Hengshan to the Song Dynasty, to the west of the Xia.

Hearing that his defeated general Xia Guo was ready to move again, and he was unable to speak wildly, Tuoba Tao was furious, even in the face of the persuasion of his ministers and the threat of the Southern Dynasty's soldiers, he still made a seemingly angry move: "Manage the army, will cut down Xia!" ”】

[The reason why Tuoba Tao ignored the opinions of his ministers and insisted on attacking Xia was actually due to Cui Hao's analysis: "Liu Yilong and Helian Ding are just bluffing, and no one dares to send troops first.

When Liu Yilong sent his troops, I once thought that the Song army would divide into two routes after arriving in Henan: one would cross the river from the middle reaches of the Yellow River to attack Yecheng; One crossed the river from Qingzhou to Jizhou. If this is done, then His Majesty should immediately personally conquer Hebei to defend against the Song army.

However, now looking at the Song army, they actually deployed defenses along the Yellow River, the defense line was more than 2,000 miles long, and the troops stationed in each place were only a few thousand.

From this point of view, Liu Yilong is really weak and incompetent, and he really wants to consolidate the river and defend himself, and has no intention of enterprising Hebei at all.

Therefore, Your Majesty can not deal with the Song army for the time being, but first completely sweep away the defeated general Helianding who is entrenched in the pass, and then go east out of Tongguan, then the north of the Huai River will be owned by my Great Wei! ”】

"Cui Hao's grasp of people's hearts is simply terrifying."

"It's a headache to be against such a person, isn't it?"

"In front of him, I feel that Liu Yilong is like he has no clothes on, and he is seen up and down by Cui Hao, inside and out."

[In September, Tuoba Tao arrived in Tongwan City and immediately ordered an attack on Pingliang.

There was basically no suspense in the result, and the Wei army under the command of Tuoba Tao won several games in a row, and the Xia army was defeated.

Xia lord Helian Ding had to flee to Shangqi, but he was captured by Tugu Hun the following year, sent to Pingcheng, and killed!

Soon, Guanzhong became the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty again.

At the time of Tuoba Tao's summer expedition, the Hebei garrison of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to cross the river in winter according to the original counteroffensive plan.

In October, An Jie, the champion general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, crossed the river to attack Kim Yong, and Du Ji, the garrison general of the Song army, prepared to abandon the city and flee.

However, he was afraid that he would be punished for retreating without a fight, so he deceived Yao Shufu, a famous brave general of the Song army stationed in Luoshui, and said: "Kim Yong City is unusually strong, and I am willing to lead the troops to resist the Wei army with me." ”

When Yao led his army to Kim Yong Kim, he saw the dilapidated city walls and the unmotivated soldiers, and seeing that he had been deceived and the city was undefendable, Yao Shufu led the army to retreat, and Du Ji in the city also abandoned the city and walked south. 】

[Liu Yilong listened to Du Ji's words and issued an edict to execute Yao Shufu. This kind of self-cutting arm drama will be repeated again and again in the Southern Dynasties.

Soon after the destruction of Kim, Luoyang and Tiger Prison fell one after another.

An Jie's army gradually approached the slippery platform, and as the commander of the Song army, he was in Dongping, and his way of dealing was to withdraw his troops. 】

[The Northern Wei Dynasty naturally refused to let go of the opportunity to pursue, so it fought several battles with Liu Song, and the soldiers even approached Liu Song's capital Jiankang for a time.

However, by this time, Tuoba Tao had already returned to Pingcheng, and due to the flooding of the Yellow River, there were people all along the river, so Tuoba Tao ordered that the Wei army did not have to continue the pursuit of the south, thus drawing an end to the war.

At this point, Liu Song's first Northern Expedition was completely declared a failure. 】

[In the fifth year of Taiyan of the Northern Wei Dynasty (439 AD), Tuoba Tao opened the last battle to unify the north.

Tuoba Tao convened a general meeting of his ministers to discuss the matter of conquest of Beiliang.

But just like the situation before the war with Xia, Song, and Rouran, the ministers still did not agree to send troops, and I have to say that this group of people has long lost the spirit of forging ahead, and just wants to nest in their own acres and three-points of land, and live by guarding their family wealth.

Of course, Cui Hao is not included in this group. 】

[Cui Hao has been ordered by Tuoba Tao over the years and has been busy with two things: repairing the national book and the law order.

In this conference, Tuoba Tao had privately asked Cui Hao's opinion.

Cui Hao said: Guzang should be sent to fight against the frustrated herdsman.

Last year, there were 300,000 military horses in the crusade against Rouran, but in fact, the number of dead and wounded was only 8,000, but after it was spread, it turned into heavy losses.

We can just take advantage of this rumor to surprise Beiliang!

The enemy will definitely collapse under the surprise and fright, and our army will definitely be able to destroy Beiliang in one battle! 】

[With Cui Hao's prior foundation, at the meeting, Tuoba Tao's confidence was much more sufficient.

However, the ministers from Xi Jin and below all said that Beiliang had no obvious rebellious moves, and the army went on an expedition, Beiliang stuck to the city, and the rear of the country was empty, which was a dangerous road, and they all advised Tuoba Tao not to send troops.

Li Shun, who has been an envoy to Beiliang many times, also said: "From the west of Wenyushui to the capital of Beiliang, Guzang, it is all stones, and there are no water plants. In addition, there is a thick snow on the mountains south of Guzang City, which will melt into a river in spring and summer.

If our army goes to the city and Beiliang blocks the river, there will be no water source within a hundred miles of Guzang City, and it will be difficult to besiege the city for a long time under the hunger and thirst of people and horses. ”

But Cui Hao retorted: "The Book of Han Geography said that 'the animals of Liangzhou are the world's rao', if there is no water and grass, how can the animals be fertile? In addition, the Han people did not build cities and counties in a land without water and grass, and built counties and counties. And the dissipation of snow can only collect dust, how can it be irrigated through canals! This statement is very deceptive. ”

Li Shun did not give up, and said again: "Hearing is better than seeing, I taste what I see, how can I argue together?" ”

Cui Hao also did not show weakness, and directly pointed out the fundamental reason why Li Shun stopped Hua Liang: "You accept money from others, and you want to lobby for it, saying that I can deceive evil if I don't see it!" ”

Cui Hao can be said to have poked Li Shun's lung tube directly, and Li Shun finally didn't dare to say anything anymore.

When Tuoba Tao heard this, he criticized the ministers harshly, and announced the decision - send troops! 】

"Cui Hao is doing this to bring disaster to himself!"

"Cui Hao is good at seeking the country, but he is not good at seeking a career!"

"I have talent, but I lack some speaking skills. I seem to have seen Cui Hao, who was excluded by everyone. ”

[Summer, May, Ding Chou, Wei ruled the soldiers in the western suburbs; In June, Jiachen, Fa Ping City. 】

[After Tuoba Tao stayed in Pingcheng with the crown prince Tuoba Huang, he personally led the army to Guzang.

When he arrived at the city, he saw the scene as Cui Hao said, "outside the east and west gates of the city, the spring merges in the north of the city, and it is as big as a river." The rest of the ditches flow into the desert, and there is no dry land in between. So he was even more disgusted with Li Shun's previous deception.

When Fuqu Muqian was still immersed in the boasting of Rouran Khan, he saw the Wei army approaching the city.

When King Muqian of Hexi heard that there was a Wei master, he exclaimed: "What is Nail! ”

Then Mu Qian adopted Zuo Cheng Yao's strategy to set the country, defend the city to the death, and at the same time ask for help from Yu Rouran.

But they could not wait for the rescue of the Rouran army, and finally had to go out of the city and surrender.

In fact, it was not that Rouran did not send troops, but that Fuqu Muqian was defeated too quickly.

Tuoba Tao arrived in Guzang in August, and in September, Muqian opened the city and surrendered, Rouran originally adopted the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", attacking Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei State, but soon after the battle, he heard the news that the city of Guzang was broken, so he had no choice but to retreat. 】

[After pacifying Rouran, the Northern Wei Dynasty pacified the Northern Yan and Northern Liang, and finally became the overlord of the north, confronting Liu Song in the south.

This period was later called the "Northern and Southern Dynasties".

As the emperor, Tuoba Tao naturally hopes that he is the best in the world in terms of culture and martial arts.

He has now completely pacified the north, and his martial arts are no longer surpassing, and what he urgently needs now is Wenzhi, so the person who comes to do Wenzhi Kung Fu is naturally Cui Hao, the head of Wenchen.

After Cui Hao accepted the appointment of Emperor Taiwu Tuobatao, he decided to do one thing, that is, to revise the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Regarding Cui Hao's decision, Emperor Taiwu thought that there was nothing wrong, after all, the history of the country was not clear, and it was difficult for the world to convince the public.

To do a good job in national history, it is naturally the first place in civil governance, so Emperor Taiwu agreed to Cui Hao's move.

As a result, I didn't expect that after the compilation of the national history, it caused a lot of discussion in the world.
