Chapter 24: Non-Barbarians

"Withdrawn?"

Biqiu Jian looked at the scout in front of him and seemed to think of something.

The movement of the Tuoba tribe has been very strange lately, they have stopped harassing, and the scouts have less and less access to the Tuoba cavalry.

An envoy was sent from Yanghu's side to inform him that a large number of Tuoba cavalry were fleeing to the northeast.

Zhang Te was standing beside Biqiu Jian at the moment, and he calmly analyzed.

"Do they want to take a big detour? To attack our rear? ”

"No, they are afraid of being blocked by us, so they don't dare to go to Youzhou."

"And what do they mean by that?"

"Probably to give up the original territory and go to Goguryeo."

"Huh??"

Zhang Te was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "They are different from us, they do not have a distinction between prefectures and counties, although they have built several cities, they are still mainly nomadic, they do not have an accurate territorial division, and the places where their livestock can reach can be regarded as their territory." ”

"Therefore, they will not be tied around the city like us, and they can't graze here, so they can go to Goguryeo."

"As for the people, the tribes outside the Cyprus will not slaughter each other's herdsmen, these herdsmen are assets to them, and they will not have the idea of not following others for the sake of their own king, it is normal to be plundered and captured, whoever captures them, they are the private property of their family."

"As a result, they are free to give up their territories and herders and go to Goguryeo, from where they can get what they want."

"This Tuoba is weak, but the ability to cultivate children is not bad, except for the desert Khan, this Tuoba Xuan, and that Tuoba Lu official, they are all courageous and decisive people."

"They went to Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo people must not be their opponents"

The threat level of the Tuoba Department in Biqiu Jian's heart has risen a little.

These people must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big disaster in the future.

Judging by the level they are showing now, it will not take a generation to set up a larger alliance in Goguryeo.

Perhaps, because of the lesson of this time, the next time the Wei army will encounter not an alliance, but a real Tuoba Kingdom.

The alliance is easy to deal with, can share happiness, but can not share weal and woe, when encountering a strong opponent, it often collapses from the inside first, but if it becomes the Tuoba Kingdom, it is difficult to say

Biqiu Jian immediately ordered to attack Shengle City.

The main force of Wei State sped up, did not cooperate with Yanghu anymore, and advanced directly towards the other party's royal city, and it only took two days for Biqiu Jian to join forces with Wenyang.

Biqiu Jian thought that Wen Yang, who failed to fight the enemy head-on, would definitely be very bored.

But when Wenyang came to visit Biqiu Jian, there was no grievance or anger on his face, and he looked confident.

"Da Sima, I obeyed your edict, I did not pursue those cavalry, nor did I fight the enemy head-on, I have always been here to keep an eye on Liwei!"

"That Tuoba wanted to take his father, and deliberately let his younger brother lure me into attacking, I didn't chase it at all, they even sent people to scold me, and I didn't go out!"

Only then did Biqiu Jian know that when Tuoba was evacuating, he had the idea of taking his father away.

It's just that Wen Yang is blocked here, although his cavalry is not good at attacking the city, but if you want to bring people out of the city, it will be different.

Wenyang is not a vegetarian.

In order to lure Wen Yang away, Tuoba asked his younger brother to cheat and fight, wanting to lure Wen Yang away, Wen Yang was not fooled, and began to scold again, but no matter what they did, Wen Yang always stayed under the city and did not move.

Tuoba left helplessly.

Zhang Te couldn't help but praise: "If General Wen learns about this, he will definitely feel relieved!" ”

Biqiu Jian nodded, he was very satisfied with Wen Yang's performance, looking at Wen Yang in front of him, who was extremely confident, he said: "You finally have the demeanor of a general, although this battle must be bloody, but you can't lose your mind." ”

"If you can know how to exercise restraint and not fight recklessly, this is a qualified general!"

"I think Ah Yang will become a general who can command an army of 100,000 in the future!"

Biqiu Jian commented on Wen Yang, and Wen Yang smiled shyly.

Although Wen Yang is most famous for his perverted martial arts, his command ability is actually not bad, in history, he is the first general in the Western Jin Dynasty to defeat the tree function, before him, such as Hu Lie and other famous generals have not been able to do this.

He led the army of Sanzhou, defeated the main force of the tree function, and surrendered more than 200,000 people.

Biqiu Jian led everyone to Shengle City, and looking at the big city in front of him, Biqiu Jian gave an order.

"Siege!!"

Tuoba Liwei probably thought of the follow-up development very early, and he handed over his elite army to Tuoba Lu Guan, and there were not many troops left in the city.

After getting the new force of Biqiu Jian, Wen Yang took the lead in launching this siege battle.

Under the protection of the armor soldiers, Wen Yang raised a large shield in his hand, braved arrows to climb the city wall, and then entered the flock.

Wen Yang was able to knock three or four Xianbei people off the city wall with a single charge.

Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, he slashed and killed indiscriminately on the city wall, and killed a bloody road alone.

When the armor soldiers saw such a fierce commander, they also shouted and climbed and charged frantically, and soon, all the people standing on the city wall were Wei people.

Biqiu Jian watched from a high platform in the distance as the flags on the other side's city wall changed.

Wen Yang has always liked to play such things as capturing the flag and landing in battle first.

Of course, having such a strong general in the army is actually a blessing for the main general, and many times it can play an unexpected effect.

Wen Yang took the lead in breaking through Shengle City, and then rushed all the way towards Tuoba Liwei's main hall.

Wenyang had been here before, so he was very familiar with the city.

When Wen Yang entered the palace, he didn't encounter many enemies who resisted, and Liwei's army was all on the city wall, and he only had some guards around him.

Wenyang surrounded the place and began to search for Liwei, and in the end, he found Liwei under the leadership of a guard.

Liwei didn't hide, he sat on the bed very calmly, waiting for Wen Yang and the others.

When Wen Yang rushed in, what he saw was such a scene.

Wen Yang was overjoyed.

Go first, capture the king!

This time it should be able to go up to the next level, right?

He stepped forward and tried to grab Liwei, but when he came to him, he put down his hand again, and did not mock anything, but just commanded the soldiers: "Take care of this man, don't let him kill himself." ”

Li Wei glanced at him, "Why doesn't the general tie up the old man?" ”

"You're too old for me to do it!"

Li Wei didn't speak, and after capturing the entire city, Wen Yang asked Li Wei to go out to see Biqiu Jian.

This is the first meeting between Biqiu Jian and Tuoba Liwei.

Biqiu Jian still admires this old man very much, this guy has almost changed the entire Xianbei.

It's a pity that he was unlucky and met his own holy king.

"Tuoba Li has admired the name for a long time, and we can meet today."

Biqiu Jian said.

Li Wei said: "When the Chu State attacked the Sui State for no reason, the monarch of the Sui State asked the reason, and the King of Chu said: I am a barbarian! ”

"I am good friends with Da Wei, sent my son to Luoyang as a proton, and gave gifts to Da Wei many times to show my intentions, I don't know why Da Sima wanted to attack me innocently?"

Wen Yang was stunned, this Xianbei old man knows a lot, and he still knows allusions!

Biqiu Jian said calmly: "For the great unification." ”

"Today, the Great Wei sent troops to attack Tuoba in order to conform to the principle of heaven and earth, unify the world with the world, end the dispute, and create a prosperous era!"

Li Wei was very surprised, he said: "I am not a minister of the Great Wei, this is not the land of the Great Wei, how can I call it a great unification?" ”

"Under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."

"If you read the scriptures, you understand this."

Li shook his head slightly, "The old man also knows a little about the classics, under Putianxia, it refers to the land ruled by the king, the great unification of the Great Wei Dynasty after the Han Dynasty, this is not the land governed by the Great Wei Emperor, how can it be called the royal land, how can I be called the king's land, how can I be called the king's minister?" ”

Hearing his words, Wen Yang was already a little impatient, and was about to step forward to interrupt, but Biqiu Jian explained:

"The so-called place governed by the king refers to the place where it was indoctrinated, in the pre-Qin period, there were many barbarians outside the Liangwai, and it was not taught, and it was not called the king's land, and when the former Han Dynasty, the counties of Hexi were recovered, and they all learned the way of the sage, knew the etiquette and law, and were clear and reasonable, not for the savages, but for the king's land."

"Now that Your Excellency is outside the Saiwai, you can rule the classics from top to bottom, talk about the way of saints, know the etiquette and law, order men and women, and talk about human ethics and legal principles, so you will naturally become the king's land, and you will naturally become the king's minister."

Tuobali was not angry, he thought about the problem seriously.

"In other words, the reason why the general crusaded against me is because the old man knows the classics and knows the etiquette??"

Biqiu Jian raised his head, "Exactly. ”

"The one who has been taught, since he has become a king and a minister, and the ram is said to be unified, how can there be two masters in one day? That's why you have surrendered today. ”

Wen Yang looked at Biqiu Jian, and then at Li Wei, not quite understanding what they meant.

Li Wei smiled bitterly.

"The old man has been defeated, and it is useless to do more verbal battles, and the general can cut off the old man's head in exchange for a reward."

Biqiu Jian said: "If you are a savage who does not know how to educate, you can behead the public and show the military power of the Great Wei, but you know the etiquette, and you should accept the courtesy of the king's ministers, you are already in your old age, even if you commit a big crime, you can't be humiliated with a sword." ”

"You can return to Luoyang with me, and Your Majesty will deal with it."

Tuoba Liwei could no longer speak.

After the armor took him away, Wen Yang asked, "At his age, he is frail and sickly, can he live to see His Majesty?" ”

"If a few more doctors can make him reach Luoyang alive, it will be of great use in the future."
