I'm not Murong Chong
Chapter 162
"Seventy-eight out of ten of my Great Wei's territory was taken from the Hou Yan; my relationship with Murong Yong has always been tense, like fire and water, how can I make the daughter of Murong's family the queen?" Not only Tuoba Yi expressed objection in the Yong'an Palace In this regard, all the Xianbei nobles abandoned their family distinctions and stood on the same front-the queen of Tuoba Wei could only be selected from their eight tribes.
The Hanchen Group, based on the principle that the enemy is disgusting and I am happy, chose their opposite without a word—not to mention that most of the civil servants in the court headed by Cui Hong were from wealthy families in Hebei, and Houyan who ruled Jizhou before was destroyed. In the past, most of them worked as officials, and they had inextricable feelings with Murong Chui and his son. Naturally, they were happy to see the former Princess Murong in the middle palace.So Zhang Yan came out to retort: "How can the relationship between the two countries be constant? Everyone knows that after the Gaoche war, Rouran will not let it go. The two countries will fight sooner or later. Murongxi's territory is adjacent to the northeast of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is beneficial to the repair of the two countries, and once the war breaks out, it will not be lost, so why not?"
"A mother is more valuable than a child—the one who gives birth to a prince for the emperor can be honored by the mother!"
"Your majesty is in the prime of life, given time, how would Princess Murong know that she will also give birth to a prince?!"
For some reason, the dispute between the two factions, which had always been restrained in the past, intensified because of who belonged to the middle palace.Although the Xianbei relatives are firm and aggressive, the Hanchen Group is unwilling to back down because of Tuobagui's secret support. Every time the two sides have a big dynasty, they have to repeatedly seesaw and debate. temple.
Perhaps because of the beginning of spring, the relationship between Tuobagui and Xianbei's relatives has entered an extremely delicate stage. The good times before and after the Gaoche War, the emperor and the prince Mili, who were all-inclusive, came to an end.On the one hand, he entrusted King Wei and others to continue to increase their ranks, and on the other hand, he promulgated three new policies: exhibition of agriculture and mulberry, implementation of Han rituals, promotion of Buddhism and Confucianism—a large-scale project of building Buddha in grottoes Immediately, it was carried out in full swing at the foot of Wuzhou Mountain in the west of the city.
This time, Tuoba Gui learned to be smart. After the clan was wiped out and the chickens were killed to warn the monkeys, he no longer explicitly expressed his preference for the two factions of the Korean and Han, but emphasized both; the New Deal did not touch the country, nor did it As thorough as the "separate tribes and complete Sinicization" that ended without a problem in the first year of Tianxing due to too much obstruction, at least the vested interests of all Xianbei nobles with military backgrounds have not been reduced in any way.However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's move is tantamount to cutting flesh with a blunt knife. He is gradually turning nomadic tribes to agricultural countries, and will eat away and weaken the strength and territory of Xianbei nobles sooner or later.But resist Tuobagui clearly, that's courting death, Moti's family of [-] people is not cold, he can't afford to hand over his neck to this cruel emperor to chop - but everyone knows that "the law does not blame the public" The truth is, no matter how powerful or domineering Tuobagui is, he can't pull out all the eight tribes of Xianbei that he relies on. Fight against the coercion as much as possible.
And who will be the queen, after being instigated intentionally or unintentionally, becomes the key to this struggle.
The verbal battle in the main hall seemed to be heating up, and Tuoba Gui, who had been sinking like water, raised his hand and waved it slightly.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent immediately, and looked at Tuobagui in unison—after keeping the secret for several days, the emperor finally made a statement.
"The ministers are all dedicated to the country, each with their own plans, unfortunately there is no conclusion. In this case, it is better to leave it to God's judgment." Tuoba Gui's tone was gentle but firm, "I, Xianbei Tuoba, have had gold casters since the founding of Xianbei. The tradition of auspicious fortunetelling is that after Princess Murong enters the capital, all the women in the harem will participate in the hand-casting of gold figures under the witness of the great witch, and whoever can cast a gold figure first represents that the Kunlun God favors her, and I will make him the queen!"
The nomadic people at the foot of the Yin Mountains have a long-standing tradition of casting gold to sacrifice to heaven. It is recorded in the Han Shu that Huo prostitutes and Yao ran thousands of miles in the Western Han Dynasty, "capturing King Xiutu and offering sacrifices to the Tianjin people". King Xiutu, who was forced to surrender to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to avoid the disaster of killing himself, reversed the situation of the Han-Hungary war.It can be seen how important the golden man who upholds God's will is to the nomadic Hu people who live by grass.But when Tuoba Gui said this, no one, no matter the Xian Han, objected.
"This is to advance by retreating. The emperor quietly let you acquiesce that Princess Murong is also a candidate." Chao Ru shook his head and sighed, "I couldn't bear it before, and I proposed it when the two sides were arguing. It’s really clever that everyone has to accept such a seemingly invulnerable and comprehensive approach.”
He Lanna was stunned for a moment: "Casting gold and divination is the ancestral system of our country, and the emperor even used this to plot against us?"
"Such devious tricks may not be the work of the emperor. I'm afraid someone else is the one who made plans for the emperor." Chao Ru covered his sleeves and coughed a few times, "Besides, this person may have become suspicious—so I won't do it again in the future. See you at the palace."
He Lanna waved his hands again and again: "No, you are responsible for all the scheming today, and you need to plan it at a critical moment. Chao Ru, you must remember who gave you your life."
Chao Ru was stunned for a while, and the bloody storm two years ago suddenly seemed like a dream.He came back to his senses and said earnestly: "If the king hadn't rescued me back then, I would either have died in the chaos of the battlefield, or I would have been worse off as a prisoner. It was the king who gave Chao Ru a chance to be reborn as a human being, so I should be ashamed In return!"
He Lanna also remembered the tragic battle to capture Hangu Pass from Xiyan. Almost all the encircled Yan army died in battle, and the main general Yao Song was trampled into flesh by thousands of horses. The crimson robe of sex is afraid that even the corpse will not be found.Even if a few captives who survived by chance were assigned as handymen, they lived an inhuman life.That day when he led the army to go south to support Tuobagui, when he passed by Hangu, he suffered from a serious illness and had a splitting headache, so he had to linger in Hangu Pass for several days. Pain——At that time, Chao Ru was really neither a human nor a ghost. Apart from being disheveled and unkempt, there were old and new scars all over his body, including his face. I don’t know how much he ate during the days when he was defeated. suffering.If it didn't really work out after a trial, he wouldn't have asked Xi Jin to take him away from the barracks—who knew he had dug up a treasure——Chao Ru said that he had served as a priest in the Yan army, but he was actually quite talented .If Emperor Yan Murong Chong could know people and make good use of them like him, maybe he wouldn't be defeated in the end.
He Lanna claimed to be kind to Chao Ru, so he stroked his beard and said: "Outside the Helan family, there is Juaner Xuwei who controls the frontier military power. Inside, as long as my daughter is the mother of the country, and the second prince enters the East Palace, I, Helan You will be able to stand upright. Chao Ru, I will give you whatever you want in the future!"
Chao Ru naturally expressed his loyalty again sincerely, and said: "Although it is inconvenient for me to come and go freely, I can pass through the Chizhu Palace as a transit. As long as you are careful, you can still send messages in the palace. Let King Wei become a bird in the early days, a thorn in his eyes, and we can spy on it secretly to reap the benefits, and we must not act rashly, so that people will see any flaws."
Cui Hao put down the scroll in his hand, and glanced at Hou Guan who came to report the letter: "Since the Great Dynasty, there is really only one recorder of carriages and horses entering and leaving the palace in the princes' mansions of Xianbei's various tribes?"
Hou Guanwei, who was ordered to monitor the palace gate and report to Cui Hao, immediately replied: "My lord, it is true that only Zhao Guogong has horses and chariots passing through the palace after the Great Dynasty!"
"Do you know which palace it came from?"
The Marquis shook his head: "The chariots and horses that go out of the palace have to be collected and distributed in the Taishang once they enter the imperial city. The other party is very cautious, and they will disappear soon after mixing in the crowd..."
Cui Hao didn't say a word anymore, just knelt on the table with his fingers, and his voice was slow.After a while, he rolled his hands into fists and stood up heavily: "Okay——in that case, I must lure you out."
The car that escorted Princess Murong arrived in Pingcheng in less than a month. This poor woman suffered a lot all her life, from Zhongshan to Longcheng, and was finally sent to Pingcheng, never involuntarily.When her father was in power, she was a concubine and never received any attention, but when her father and brother died, she was hastily given to Wei Emperor Tuoba Gui by his uncle as a gift.
But even as a gift, there are high and low points-the gap between Houyan and the Northern Wei Dynasty has been greatly reversed. Murong Xi is a man who doesn't care, but Feng Ba knows that he is in the cracks of the Liaodong Peninsula and it is not easy to survive. Please Tuoba Gui in exchange for a promise not to expand eastward for the time being, so that he can free up his hands to wrestle with Goguryeo.Under such circumstances, one can imagine what kind of "courtesy" this nominal "princess of a country" will receive.
"Your Majesty, Princess Murong's car has entered the Sima Gate, passed through the Yong'an Hall, and is heading for the Harem." The head servant reported softly outside the Mani Hall, "Does Your Majesty want to summon her?"
There was no sound from inside the door for a long while, and the chief servant waited patiently outside for a long time, and then Tuobagui's faintly breathless order came: "Isn't there already an edict to make her a noble person temporarily, what else do you need to summon?"
Hearing this, Ren Zhen deliberately tilted his head to avoid Kai Kaibagui's wolf kiss, and poked his hard chest: "How can it be, why don't you go see your bride soon."
Tuoba Gui gritted his teeth, used a grasping hand to hold his shoulders, and bit his resolute chin bitterly: "It's been a few days, and you still don't forget to run on me!"
Ren Zhen sneered: "I put a knife on your neck to force you to marry me? I really want to be squeezed by you like this, but it's a pity that I don't have such a good fortune."
Tuobagui was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "The reason why I agree to the marriage is not that I don't understand, it's all to check and balance the harem—" Ren Zhen patted Tuobagui's cheek with a backhand: "It's okay~ don't waste it This. Do you think I am eating this kind of dry vinegar? I understand everything you know, do what you should do. "
Tuobagui held his left hand, intertwined his fingers, and kissed him on the lips: "I have to talk nonsense. Today is different from the past, I won't make new friends again, you—— just watch."
"Hey~ don't, you still can't defend yourself for me? Be careful to suffocate the real dragon emperor." He said it very affectionately, but Ren Zhen listened to it funny, and smiled, "Now the three Murong Yan kingdoms are surrounded on all sides, calm down After internal troubles, if you want to expand outward, you are afraid that you will fight sooner or later. The future prince of Wei must not have foreign blood, so as not to cause trouble. In the past few months, you haven't lost your grace and rain in the harem, have you?"
Tuobagui couldn't help being embarrassed, it's really his nature, as these days passed, Ren Zhen became more and more like his former self.
Ren Zhen didn't care about it, and leaned over and smiled and said, "I heard that both men and women in Murong's family are very beautiful. If you don't go to see them, why don't you let me open your eyes?"
Tuobagui gave him an unkind look, finally resigned himself to his fate, got up and got up and changed his clothes: "I'm going to see her—you don't move!" Before taking two steps, he slapped his forehead and turned around: "I almost forgot to be serious. Things, medicine, you have to remember to drink it!"
Ren Zhen leaned over to take the medicine bowl, and chased him away: "I know, I know, I will remind you every time, you are more considerate than Xiaoyingzi."
Tuobagui conferred Murong's wife as his wife, granted him a residence in the Liuli Palace, and at the same time issued an imperial edict—choose an auspicious day in the next month to hold a gold casting ceremony. All nobles and above in the palace will participate in the hand casting of gold people, and the first day of the ceremony will be Those who succeed in casting golden people will be crowned queens and established as ancestors. Every successive emperor of Wei State will use this as an example to pass down from generation to generation.
Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, people who cast gold by hand have been respected to offer sacrifices to heaven and divination. Therefore, there is a gold casting workshop in the palace, and gold casting is required every major festival.This is actually an extremely complicated process. In addition to the preliminary preparations, it also includes the three main processes of turning sand into molds, casting golden water, and forming portraits. Because the production conditions were limited at that time, it was difficult for the casting furnace to reach a suitable high temperature, and no matter how skilled the craftsman was. There are failures from time to time, so it depends on luck in the end.It's just that in the past, the emperors and princes didn't have to do it by themselves, they only needed to test whether the god statue was cast at the last step to judge who belonged to God's will. In the month before the gold-casting ceremony, the Minister of Craftsman arranged a special person to teach and learn how to hand-cast gold people in the gold-making workshop. Before leaving the pavilion, his fingers were not touched by the spring water, and after entering the palace, he was pampered and pampered. This time, he has to work hard like a servant, so it is natural to complain.
However, the name of the first empress of the Wei Kingdom is too tempting, and Tuobagui has clearly ordered that anyone with status in the harem can participate regardless of their origin and caste. Needless to say, Mrs. He, Mrs. Liu, etc. It is rare to see Tianyan's low-ranking concubines secretly wishing to obey God's will and obtain the crown.
All of a sudden, it became common practice in the harem to talk about the golden man, and such a massive preparatory work blocked the mouths of all the courtiers. No matter who the final queen was, it was God's will and no one else.
Tuobagui looked at Cui Hao: "I have established the hand-cast gold man as the national system, and all concubines can participate. If, as you said, the master behind the scenes is a member of the eight tribes of Xianbei, then this time After casting gold, he will definitely intervene in it."
Cui Hao nodded and replied: "The layout of this minister must be for His Majesty to detect cunning and eliminate hidden dangers!" It was someone among the Xianbei nobles who turned the clouds and rains to muddy the water and came to power.
Tuobagui glanced at him indifferently: "The relatives and nobles of Xianbei have always been domineering and domineering, which is harmful to the country, so I eradicated Moti, matched Changsun Fei, forced Changsun Song to retire soon, and gradually restricted the power of the eight departments. And they are all secretly dissatisfied with me. Nowadays, the conflict between the Korean and Han factions is intensifying day by day, but you have to know that although I support you in developing agriculture and mulberry, promoting Han rites, and promoting Buddhism and Confucianism, deep down I still The emperor of Tuoba Xianbei——if you are discovered by me, all your actions are to use me for the sake of party struggle, Cui Hao, do you know what will happen to you?"
Cui Hao's scalp went numb, he hurriedly knelt down, and vowed: "If my minister has even the slightest bit of contempt towards the emperor, he will be tortured to pieces and the whole family will be wiped out!"
When the Northern Wei Dynasty was in full swing, it was a good time for the Wuhu tribe to disperse and graze. It was located at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, where the three intersections of Longxi Guanzhong Mobei met, but there was not a single herdsman, a cow or sheep, but many dome tents appeared silently. , The sky seems to be endless at a glance.
Rouran Khan Shelun was wearing a mink fur coat and an animal bone collar. He was stroking his knee with one hand and pouring a cup with the other. He was sitting impatiently on the high platform. His bronze-colored face was even more fierce.
Not long after, the soldiers came to report: the envoy of Yan had arrived outside the gate.
She Lun smashed the wine glass casually, and without getting up, said loudly, "Who is here?"
The burly man who was fearless among the swords and halberds was tall and tall, wearing armor, with a piece of round copper covering his left eye.With only a few soldiers, he strode forward, stood in front of She Lun, cupped his hands and said, "Ashina Wulie has seen Khan!"
"Who? Looking at the country of Yan, Ben Khan has never heard of such a name!" She Lun suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked away the long table in front of him, and the bottles and cups smashed to the ground. Why can't you shrink back, it shows that there is no sincerity in forming an alliance!"
Ashina Wulie had been deprived of his military post by Emperor Wuheng Murong Yong since he retreated from the attack of the Wei army without a fight two years ago and gave up Hangu Pass, and has been staying in Chang'an to apologize behind closed doors.In the past year, Shelun Khan deliberately encouraged the use of Huluguang to harass the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then took advantage of the time when Tuobagui had no time to deal with Gaoche, he broke through the Xianbei tribes of Chile and the Huns in the northwest of the Mongolian Plateau Yu Bu Ba Yeji merged all the people, and his power increased, and the entire Mongolian plateau and surrounding ethnic groups surrendered one after another.Self-proclaimed that "there are all the old families of the Huns, and they conquer the Western Regions", just when they are complacent, they are naturally dissatisfied that Murong Yong did not come to the alliance in person but sent an unknown person.
Wu Lie said neither humble nor overbearing: "At the end of the day, there will be a secret decree from the emperor, and he can act as a plenipotentiary representative."
Shelun Khan let out a smirk: "Murongyong is too deceitful! My Rouran Khanate extends from Yanqi in the west to North Korea in the east, with a vast sea in the north and a large moraine in the south. It is so vast that it is far beyond the West Yan in Guanzhong—he is still in my name. Brother-in-law, even if you come here in person, you have to bow down to me!"
Wu Lie frowned immediately - although he was a Hun, he had been transformed into a king long ago, so he naturally knew that there was a big difference between the nomadic tribe and the Central Plains dynasty. How could one judge by the size of the territory?And the Murong clan is the most sinicized of all the Hu tribes. The Xianbeier and the Hanjialang are everywhere among Murong's children. He feels the same way over the years, so naturally he looks down on the fact that he just got rid of the tribe just now. The alliance entered the Rouran Khanate of the slave society.The tone also turned hard: "Prince Rouran married into our country only as a concubine, why should she bow her head and say it? Khan's words are rude, it is because he has no sincerity in the alliance!"
As soon as the words fell, the Rouran soldiers who were accompanying them drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another. Yan soldiers were not to be outdone, and drew their swords to face each other.Just at this time, suddenly there was a whistle and the horseshoes slammed, but I saw a single-handed horse galloping straight towards the barracks as if there was no one else around. All the way out was blocked, the bay red horse let out a long neigh, its front hooves flew into the air, and the rider stood up, the knight leaped along with the momentum, stepped on the crossed spear points with his toes, and instantly turned around like a sea of mountains. The incoming offensive is like using four or two strokes of a thousand catties to borrow strength, like walking on flat ground.It seemed that the moment his clothes fluttered, the visitor had landed firmly, slowly raised his head, and looked straight at Shelun Khan on the high platform.
This person wears a martial robe with a leather jacket slanted, and there is no fancy decoration on his whole body. Even his long hair is just casually braided and draped over his shoulders. He is like the most ordinary herdsman at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain. The demeanor of No Man's Land is like Yuan Zhi Yue Lin, which makes people look awe-inspiring and daunting.
She Lun finally got up on his knees, and said in a condescending voice: "Fu Tianwang? I have long admired your name."
Fu Jian raised his hand over his shoulder and shook it lightly: "Don't dare."
She Lun subconsciously glanced into the distance, and there was no one to ride——Fu Jian, the majestic king of Xiliang, actually went to the meeting alone, which is too much of an excuse!Immediately sneered and said: "King Fu Tian is really courageous! He is more kind than someone who only dares to hide in the capital—"
This provocation didn't shake Fu Jian's expression at all, he said calmly: "There is Yang Ding Jian Guo in Xiliang, so Fu just came here for free. Why do you need to add new branches outside the festival, leaving the root and chasing the end?"
"No way!" She Lun waved his hand decisively, "Murongyong looked down on Ben Khan if he didn't come in person, so why talk about an alliance! There are hundreds of thousands of people in my Rouran Khanate who control the strings, and they are powerful in Mobei. They singled out Tuoba The state of Wei is no problem!" Shelun unified Rouran, established the royal court, established military law, and called the Khan, how could they be incompetent and ignorant?Last year, Hu Luguang was instigated to actively invade the Northern Wei Dynasty, just to find out the bottom line of Tuobagui, who had already ruled the Central Plains, and see if his center of gravity was far away from the desert grassland. Gaoche Wangting was razed to the ground by the Wei army - Tuobagui was not satisfied with being a grassland emperor, so he moved the capital from Shengle in Chilechuan to Yunzhongping City, intending to plot the Kyushu in the Central Plains, but it does not mean that he will How can such a tough opponent who doesn't lose every inch of land on the grassland be able to "single out" as he said?It's just that he has his own selfish plans - Fu Jian's civil and military achievements in ruling Xiliang are well-known throughout the Western Regions.It seems that She Lun is a bit jealous-Fu Jian is so capable, how could he fall to Chang'an and withdraw from Guanzhong after the defeat of Feishui, willing to retreat to the six counties of Liangzhou to go to a corner of Pian'an?They established their country with force, and the strong are the kings. They can only advance again and again. Be the leader and become the leader.
Wu Lie looked angrily, and was about to speak, but Fu Jian pressed him on the shoulder and told him to silence—this Wu Lie never believed the rumors that the former emperor Murong Chong, who was a prisoner of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had died, so he was cast idle for the past two years It's because Murong Yong deliberately made him fade out of the eyes of those who are interested in the government, so that he can plan a rescue secretly.Before leaving Chang'an, Murong Yong repeatedly ordered that after going to the alliance, Fu Jian must be the only one to follow.
Fu Jian said in a deep voice, "Then according to Khan's opinion, what should we do?"
She Lun arrogantly said: "Respect Ben Khan as the leader of the alliance, Liangzhou and Xiyan each send 20 soldiers and horses, and hand them over to the commander of Ben Khan for control. Pingcheng!"
"I have no objection to supporting Khan as the leader of the alliance." Today's Fu Jian would not be tired of fame, so he said calmly: "But Khan thinks that the 20 troops are enough to capture the enemy's capital and overthrow the Wei State?"
"The Huns in the desert were so strong in the past, didn't they also expelled them for me and took up all the land?" She Lun became angry, "Or King Fu Tian thinks that I am not as good as Tuoba boy?"
"The [-]-strong crowd was crushed by Tuobagui within half a year. He has already warned the world—although Tuobagui rose from the grasslands, he is no longer just a tribal chief—his cavalry can conquer the Central Plains as well. It can sweep across the desert." Fu Jian's voice was thick and calm, like an ax and a rock, "The country's strength is soft, but it is not enough to conquer Wei."
These mere words clearly disagreed with She Lun's plan to attack Pingcheng. In a head-on confrontation, the veins on She Lun's forehead exploded: "Fu Tianwang means that our army still needs to avoid its edge and sweep away its prestige!"
"Rouran cavalry is flying like a bird, coming and going, and the guerrilla tactics on the grassland are beneficial. Once they enter the pass and fall into an offensive and defensive battle, they will lose their advantage and be controlled by others." Fu Jian said lightly, "Dhu Luguang's failure It is enough to prove that we should not put all our eggs in one basket and fight on the plains. Instead, we should divide our troops and advance, besiege the city to fight for reinforcements, lure Tuobagui out of Pingcheng, encircle and annihilate him!"
She Lun sneered and said: "The King of Heaven sounds nice, but he regards Ben Khan as handsome, but this idea is very big. According to your opinion, Ben Khan can only harass the border of Wei State, even if he really wiped out Tuobagui's troops, Can't take his territory in the Central Plains? How can I benefit Rouran like this?!"
Wu Lie couldn't help interjecting and said sarcastically: "Rouran has always started by plundering, so how can it be of no benefit to capture Wei territory this time?" To build a country with martial arts, the writing system is not yet ready. Even if they enter the customs, the Rouran people who are used to nomadic herding will not be able to adapt to the farming and mulberry life in the Central Plains. The Wei State has been established for a long time, and the Korean and Han factions in North Korea are still arguing about it. What's the use of endlessly fighting each other?"
She Lun said: "It is rumored that Fu Tianwang is unparalleled in eloquence, and he is really good. He needs my Rouran army as the main force, but also listens to your commands. In the future, it will be cheaper if the territory cannot be occupied. You and Murong Yong, how can there be so much money in the world? thing!"
"I don't want an inch of land in the Northern Wei Dynasty." Fu Jian said firmly.
But She Lun had a look of disbelief, turned his eyes, and took out a palm-sized jade military talisman from his bosom, and said deliberately: "We Rouran people are the most brave in martial arts. I have heard about the martial arts group of heavenly kings. How about letting Ben Khan open his eyes?" ——This soldier talisman is divided into two parts, and when combined, thousands of troops can be mobilized. Ben Khan hung this half of the soldier talisman on the fringe of the big flag, and the king of heaven tied the other half to the arrow. If the soldier talisman is not broken, Rouran's army will follow orders!"
It is well known that Fu Jian is good at halberds, but She Lun badly asked him to practice martial arts with archery. In the distance, the big banner hanging high above the ground is several feet away, and it is fluttered by the wind. Half a soldier talisman is not easy, and the arrow is tied to the other half of a soldier talisman. The arrow is heavy and inaccurate, and those who are not of great strength cannot do it.But strength alone is not enough. This soldier talisman is made of Kunlun jade, which is brittle in texture. Once it is shot, it is likely to be torn apart due to excessive force. How can Shelun give up at that time?Seeing that Fu Jian shook his head slightly, he suddenly tapped his fingers and whistled, the red horse soared on all fours, and jumped in front of him in the blink of an eye. Fu Jian reached out and took out the Fang Tian painted halberd under the saddle, and hung half a soldier talisman on the twig of the halberd with one hand. , Turning his head to She Lun, he said: "In the past, there was Lu Bu, Marquis Wen of the Three Kingdoms, who shot a halberd at the Yuanmen Gate to solve the conflict. Tonight, I would like to follow suit and move this halberd outside the Yuanmen Gate. I will shoot it here with a heavy arrow. If I can I was lucky to win, and the pawns fit together without being broken, please Khan accept my opinion."
Wu Lie was dumbfounded as he listened - the gate is more than a hundred steps away, and his vision is limited at night, even if Lu Fengxian is reborn, he might not be able to do it!She Lun's eyes flickered - he didn't know the characters of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't want to show his timidity and inaccuracy in front of Fu Jian.Looking at the depths of the gate again, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Okay. Let the king of heaven try shooting!"
The two soldiers carried Fang Tian's painted halberd, which weighed tens of kilograms, and flew to the gate to stand upright. The snow-white tip of the halberd flashed in the night.
Fu Jian raised the arrow to take aim, then lowered the bow, then unhurriedly attached the remaining half of the soldier talisman to the arrow, bound the arrow to the ground and sank it down, then rolled up his sleeves again, and attached the arrow , drew his bow all over, and shouted: "Go!"
People were still unable to react in time, and all of a sudden they saw an arrow flying across the night sky like a shooting star, chasing the wind like thunder and cracking ice, hitting a twig on the halberd with a whizzing sound, shooting down the halberd and jade together, and nailing it deeply into the soil , the white rustling arrow tail swayed unceasingly.Those who saw it were all dazzled and horrified - it really is like a moon in the depths of the gate, a twig in a little cold star!
The Rouran soldier stepped forward, pulled out the arrow with all his strength, and quickly sent the two jade talismans to She Lun: "I report to Khan, the two soldier talismans are intact!" She Lun accepted the inspection with a livid face—— Fu Jian had just hit the tip of the halberd by chance, and it broke the jade rope, so the soldier's talisman fell without cracking, and the two soldiers fit together without breaking.
Wu Lie saw it clearly, and it was only at this time that he recalled: Fu Jian chose to look far away because the tip of the halberd reflected light in the night and it was easier to hit the target; a hard weapon can also bear the weight of the arrow. He even suffered from Shelun's making things difficult for him so that he would not dare to break his promise in front of the armed forces.
Every step of the way is to move after planning, and never miss.
Fu Jian stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "So, is Khan willing to listen to me?"
She Lun really didn't dare to underestimate Fu Jian any more, because he said, "Okay, Ben Khan will follow through on what he says, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be decided at this point - but I don't know when the king of heaven will send troops?"
"Temporarily serving as a soldier." Fu Jian sighed slightly: "Now that Tuoba Wei's domestic turmoil hasn't broken out, it's not the best time to launch a war."
It wasn't that he was afraid of battle and defeat, it was because he only had this one chance in this life, with the distance between the blue sky and the yellow spring, he really couldn't afford to lose.
The Hanchen Group, based on the principle that the enemy is disgusting and I am happy, chose their opposite without a word—not to mention that most of the civil servants in the court headed by Cui Hong were from wealthy families in Hebei, and Houyan who ruled Jizhou before was destroyed. In the past, most of them worked as officials, and they had inextricable feelings with Murong Chui and his son. Naturally, they were happy to see the former Princess Murong in the middle palace.So Zhang Yan came out to retort: "How can the relationship between the two countries be constant? Everyone knows that after the Gaoche war, Rouran will not let it go. The two countries will fight sooner or later. Murongxi's territory is adjacent to the northeast of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is beneficial to the repair of the two countries, and once the war breaks out, it will not be lost, so why not?"
"A mother is more valuable than a child—the one who gives birth to a prince for the emperor can be honored by the mother!"
"Your majesty is in the prime of life, given time, how would Princess Murong know that she will also give birth to a prince?!"
For some reason, the dispute between the two factions, which had always been restrained in the past, intensified because of who belonged to the middle palace.Although the Xianbei relatives are firm and aggressive, the Hanchen Group is unwilling to back down because of Tuobagui's secret support. Every time the two sides have a big dynasty, they have to repeatedly seesaw and debate. temple.
Perhaps because of the beginning of spring, the relationship between Tuobagui and Xianbei's relatives has entered an extremely delicate stage. The good times before and after the Gaoche War, the emperor and the prince Mili, who were all-inclusive, came to an end.On the one hand, he entrusted King Wei and others to continue to increase their ranks, and on the other hand, he promulgated three new policies: exhibition of agriculture and mulberry, implementation of Han rituals, promotion of Buddhism and Confucianism—a large-scale project of building Buddha in grottoes Immediately, it was carried out in full swing at the foot of Wuzhou Mountain in the west of the city.
This time, Tuoba Gui learned to be smart. After the clan was wiped out and the chickens were killed to warn the monkeys, he no longer explicitly expressed his preference for the two factions of the Korean and Han, but emphasized both; the New Deal did not touch the country, nor did it As thorough as the "separate tribes and complete Sinicization" that ended without a problem in the first year of Tianxing due to too much obstruction, at least the vested interests of all Xianbei nobles with military backgrounds have not been reduced in any way.However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's move is tantamount to cutting flesh with a blunt knife. He is gradually turning nomadic tribes to agricultural countries, and will eat away and weaken the strength and territory of Xianbei nobles sooner or later.But resist Tuobagui clearly, that's courting death, Moti's family of [-] people is not cold, he can't afford to hand over his neck to this cruel emperor to chop - but everyone knows that "the law does not blame the public" The truth is, no matter how powerful or domineering Tuobagui is, he can't pull out all the eight tribes of Xianbei that he relies on. Fight against the coercion as much as possible.
And who will be the queen, after being instigated intentionally or unintentionally, becomes the key to this struggle.
The verbal battle in the main hall seemed to be heating up, and Tuoba Gui, who had been sinking like water, raised his hand and waved it slightly.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent immediately, and looked at Tuobagui in unison—after keeping the secret for several days, the emperor finally made a statement.
"The ministers are all dedicated to the country, each with their own plans, unfortunately there is no conclusion. In this case, it is better to leave it to God's judgment." Tuoba Gui's tone was gentle but firm, "I, Xianbei Tuoba, have had gold casters since the founding of Xianbei. The tradition of auspicious fortunetelling is that after Princess Murong enters the capital, all the women in the harem will participate in the hand-casting of gold figures under the witness of the great witch, and whoever can cast a gold figure first represents that the Kunlun God favors her, and I will make him the queen!"
The nomadic people at the foot of the Yin Mountains have a long-standing tradition of casting gold to sacrifice to heaven. It is recorded in the Han Shu that Huo prostitutes and Yao ran thousands of miles in the Western Han Dynasty, "capturing King Xiutu and offering sacrifices to the Tianjin people". King Xiutu, who was forced to surrender to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to avoid the disaster of killing himself, reversed the situation of the Han-Hungary war.It can be seen how important the golden man who upholds God's will is to the nomadic Hu people who live by grass.But when Tuoba Gui said this, no one, no matter the Xian Han, objected.
"This is to advance by retreating. The emperor quietly let you acquiesce that Princess Murong is also a candidate." Chao Ru shook his head and sighed, "I couldn't bear it before, and I proposed it when the two sides were arguing. It’s really clever that everyone has to accept such a seemingly invulnerable and comprehensive approach.”
He Lanna was stunned for a moment: "Casting gold and divination is the ancestral system of our country, and the emperor even used this to plot against us?"
"Such devious tricks may not be the work of the emperor. I'm afraid someone else is the one who made plans for the emperor." Chao Ru covered his sleeves and coughed a few times, "Besides, this person may have become suspicious—so I won't do it again in the future. See you at the palace."
He Lanna waved his hands again and again: "No, you are responsible for all the scheming today, and you need to plan it at a critical moment. Chao Ru, you must remember who gave you your life."
Chao Ru was stunned for a while, and the bloody storm two years ago suddenly seemed like a dream.He came back to his senses and said earnestly: "If the king hadn't rescued me back then, I would either have died in the chaos of the battlefield, or I would have been worse off as a prisoner. It was the king who gave Chao Ru a chance to be reborn as a human being, so I should be ashamed In return!"
He Lanna also remembered the tragic battle to capture Hangu Pass from Xiyan. Almost all the encircled Yan army died in battle, and the main general Yao Song was trampled into flesh by thousands of horses. The crimson robe of sex is afraid that even the corpse will not be found.Even if a few captives who survived by chance were assigned as handymen, they lived an inhuman life.That day when he led the army to go south to support Tuobagui, when he passed by Hangu, he suffered from a serious illness and had a splitting headache, so he had to linger in Hangu Pass for several days. Pain——At that time, Chao Ru was really neither a human nor a ghost. Apart from being disheveled and unkempt, there were old and new scars all over his body, including his face. I don’t know how much he ate during the days when he was defeated. suffering.If it didn't really work out after a trial, he wouldn't have asked Xi Jin to take him away from the barracks—who knew he had dug up a treasure——Chao Ru said that he had served as a priest in the Yan army, but he was actually quite talented .If Emperor Yan Murong Chong could know people and make good use of them like him, maybe he wouldn't be defeated in the end.
He Lanna claimed to be kind to Chao Ru, so he stroked his beard and said: "Outside the Helan family, there is Juaner Xuwei who controls the frontier military power. Inside, as long as my daughter is the mother of the country, and the second prince enters the East Palace, I, Helan You will be able to stand upright. Chao Ru, I will give you whatever you want in the future!"
Chao Ru naturally expressed his loyalty again sincerely, and said: "Although it is inconvenient for me to come and go freely, I can pass through the Chizhu Palace as a transit. As long as you are careful, you can still send messages in the palace. Let King Wei become a bird in the early days, a thorn in his eyes, and we can spy on it secretly to reap the benefits, and we must not act rashly, so that people will see any flaws."
Cui Hao put down the scroll in his hand, and glanced at Hou Guan who came to report the letter: "Since the Great Dynasty, there is really only one recorder of carriages and horses entering and leaving the palace in the princes' mansions of Xianbei's various tribes?"
Hou Guanwei, who was ordered to monitor the palace gate and report to Cui Hao, immediately replied: "My lord, it is true that only Zhao Guogong has horses and chariots passing through the palace after the Great Dynasty!"
"Do you know which palace it came from?"
The Marquis shook his head: "The chariots and horses that go out of the palace have to be collected and distributed in the Taishang once they enter the imperial city. The other party is very cautious, and they will disappear soon after mixing in the crowd..."
Cui Hao didn't say a word anymore, just knelt on the table with his fingers, and his voice was slow.After a while, he rolled his hands into fists and stood up heavily: "Okay——in that case, I must lure you out."
The car that escorted Princess Murong arrived in Pingcheng in less than a month. This poor woman suffered a lot all her life, from Zhongshan to Longcheng, and was finally sent to Pingcheng, never involuntarily.When her father was in power, she was a concubine and never received any attention, but when her father and brother died, she was hastily given to Wei Emperor Tuoba Gui by his uncle as a gift.
But even as a gift, there are high and low points-the gap between Houyan and the Northern Wei Dynasty has been greatly reversed. Murong Xi is a man who doesn't care, but Feng Ba knows that he is in the cracks of the Liaodong Peninsula and it is not easy to survive. Please Tuoba Gui in exchange for a promise not to expand eastward for the time being, so that he can free up his hands to wrestle with Goguryeo.Under such circumstances, one can imagine what kind of "courtesy" this nominal "princess of a country" will receive.
"Your Majesty, Princess Murong's car has entered the Sima Gate, passed through the Yong'an Hall, and is heading for the Harem." The head servant reported softly outside the Mani Hall, "Does Your Majesty want to summon her?"
There was no sound from inside the door for a long while, and the chief servant waited patiently outside for a long time, and then Tuobagui's faintly breathless order came: "Isn't there already an edict to make her a noble person temporarily, what else do you need to summon?"
Hearing this, Ren Zhen deliberately tilted his head to avoid Kai Kaibagui's wolf kiss, and poked his hard chest: "How can it be, why don't you go see your bride soon."
Tuoba Gui gritted his teeth, used a grasping hand to hold his shoulders, and bit his resolute chin bitterly: "It's been a few days, and you still don't forget to run on me!"
Ren Zhen sneered: "I put a knife on your neck to force you to marry me? I really want to be squeezed by you like this, but it's a pity that I don't have such a good fortune."
Tuobagui was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "The reason why I agree to the marriage is not that I don't understand, it's all to check and balance the harem—" Ren Zhen patted Tuobagui's cheek with a backhand: "It's okay~ don't waste it This. Do you think I am eating this kind of dry vinegar? I understand everything you know, do what you should do. "
Tuobagui held his left hand, intertwined his fingers, and kissed him on the lips: "I have to talk nonsense. Today is different from the past, I won't make new friends again, you—— just watch."
"Hey~ don't, you still can't defend yourself for me? Be careful to suffocate the real dragon emperor." He said it very affectionately, but Ren Zhen listened to it funny, and smiled, "Now the three Murong Yan kingdoms are surrounded on all sides, calm down After internal troubles, if you want to expand outward, you are afraid that you will fight sooner or later. The future prince of Wei must not have foreign blood, so as not to cause trouble. In the past few months, you haven't lost your grace and rain in the harem, have you?"
Tuobagui couldn't help being embarrassed, it's really his nature, as these days passed, Ren Zhen became more and more like his former self.
Ren Zhen didn't care about it, and leaned over and smiled and said, "I heard that both men and women in Murong's family are very beautiful. If you don't go to see them, why don't you let me open your eyes?"
Tuobagui gave him an unkind look, finally resigned himself to his fate, got up and got up and changed his clothes: "I'm going to see her—you don't move!" Before taking two steps, he slapped his forehead and turned around: "I almost forgot to be serious. Things, medicine, you have to remember to drink it!"
Ren Zhen leaned over to take the medicine bowl, and chased him away: "I know, I know, I will remind you every time, you are more considerate than Xiaoyingzi."
Tuobagui conferred Murong's wife as his wife, granted him a residence in the Liuli Palace, and at the same time issued an imperial edict—choose an auspicious day in the next month to hold a gold casting ceremony. All nobles and above in the palace will participate in the hand casting of gold people, and the first day of the ceremony will be Those who succeed in casting golden people will be crowned queens and established as ancestors. Every successive emperor of Wei State will use this as an example to pass down from generation to generation.
Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, people who cast gold by hand have been respected to offer sacrifices to heaven and divination. Therefore, there is a gold casting workshop in the palace, and gold casting is required every major festival.This is actually an extremely complicated process. In addition to the preliminary preparations, it also includes the three main processes of turning sand into molds, casting golden water, and forming portraits. Because the production conditions were limited at that time, it was difficult for the casting furnace to reach a suitable high temperature, and no matter how skilled the craftsman was. There are failures from time to time, so it depends on luck in the end.It's just that in the past, the emperors and princes didn't have to do it by themselves, they only needed to test whether the god statue was cast at the last step to judge who belonged to God's will. In the month before the gold-casting ceremony, the Minister of Craftsman arranged a special person to teach and learn how to hand-cast gold people in the gold-making workshop. Before leaving the pavilion, his fingers were not touched by the spring water, and after entering the palace, he was pampered and pampered. This time, he has to work hard like a servant, so it is natural to complain.
However, the name of the first empress of the Wei Kingdom is too tempting, and Tuobagui has clearly ordered that anyone with status in the harem can participate regardless of their origin and caste. Needless to say, Mrs. He, Mrs. Liu, etc. It is rare to see Tianyan's low-ranking concubines secretly wishing to obey God's will and obtain the crown.
All of a sudden, it became common practice in the harem to talk about the golden man, and such a massive preparatory work blocked the mouths of all the courtiers. No matter who the final queen was, it was God's will and no one else.
Tuobagui looked at Cui Hao: "I have established the hand-cast gold man as the national system, and all concubines can participate. If, as you said, the master behind the scenes is a member of the eight tribes of Xianbei, then this time After casting gold, he will definitely intervene in it."
Cui Hao nodded and replied: "The layout of this minister must be for His Majesty to detect cunning and eliminate hidden dangers!" It was someone among the Xianbei nobles who turned the clouds and rains to muddy the water and came to power.
Tuobagui glanced at him indifferently: "The relatives and nobles of Xianbei have always been domineering and domineering, which is harmful to the country, so I eradicated Moti, matched Changsun Fei, forced Changsun Song to retire soon, and gradually restricted the power of the eight departments. And they are all secretly dissatisfied with me. Nowadays, the conflict between the Korean and Han factions is intensifying day by day, but you have to know that although I support you in developing agriculture and mulberry, promoting Han rites, and promoting Buddhism and Confucianism, deep down I still The emperor of Tuoba Xianbei——if you are discovered by me, all your actions are to use me for the sake of party struggle, Cui Hao, do you know what will happen to you?"
Cui Hao's scalp went numb, he hurriedly knelt down, and vowed: "If my minister has even the slightest bit of contempt towards the emperor, he will be tortured to pieces and the whole family will be wiped out!"
When the Northern Wei Dynasty was in full swing, it was a good time for the Wuhu tribe to disperse and graze. It was located at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, where the three intersections of Longxi Guanzhong Mobei met, but there was not a single herdsman, a cow or sheep, but many dome tents appeared silently. , The sky seems to be endless at a glance.
Rouran Khan Shelun was wearing a mink fur coat and an animal bone collar. He was stroking his knee with one hand and pouring a cup with the other. He was sitting impatiently on the high platform. His bronze-colored face was even more fierce.
Not long after, the soldiers came to report: the envoy of Yan had arrived outside the gate.
She Lun smashed the wine glass casually, and without getting up, said loudly, "Who is here?"
The burly man who was fearless among the swords and halberds was tall and tall, wearing armor, with a piece of round copper covering his left eye.With only a few soldiers, he strode forward, stood in front of She Lun, cupped his hands and said, "Ashina Wulie has seen Khan!"
"Who? Looking at the country of Yan, Ben Khan has never heard of such a name!" She Lun suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked away the long table in front of him, and the bottles and cups smashed to the ground. Why can't you shrink back, it shows that there is no sincerity in forming an alliance!"
Ashina Wulie had been deprived of his military post by Emperor Wuheng Murong Yong since he retreated from the attack of the Wei army without a fight two years ago and gave up Hangu Pass, and has been staying in Chang'an to apologize behind closed doors.In the past year, Shelun Khan deliberately encouraged the use of Huluguang to harass the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then took advantage of the time when Tuobagui had no time to deal with Gaoche, he broke through the Xianbei tribes of Chile and the Huns in the northwest of the Mongolian Plateau Yu Bu Ba Yeji merged all the people, and his power increased, and the entire Mongolian plateau and surrounding ethnic groups surrendered one after another.Self-proclaimed that "there are all the old families of the Huns, and they conquer the Western Regions", just when they are complacent, they are naturally dissatisfied that Murong Yong did not come to the alliance in person but sent an unknown person.
Wu Lie said neither humble nor overbearing: "At the end of the day, there will be a secret decree from the emperor, and he can act as a plenipotentiary representative."
Shelun Khan let out a smirk: "Murongyong is too deceitful! My Rouran Khanate extends from Yanqi in the west to North Korea in the east, with a vast sea in the north and a large moraine in the south. It is so vast that it is far beyond the West Yan in Guanzhong—he is still in my name. Brother-in-law, even if you come here in person, you have to bow down to me!"
Wu Lie frowned immediately - although he was a Hun, he had been transformed into a king long ago, so he naturally knew that there was a big difference between the nomadic tribe and the Central Plains dynasty. How could one judge by the size of the territory?And the Murong clan is the most sinicized of all the Hu tribes. The Xianbeier and the Hanjialang are everywhere among Murong's children. He feels the same way over the years, so naturally he looks down on the fact that he just got rid of the tribe just now. The alliance entered the Rouran Khanate of the slave society.The tone also turned hard: "Prince Rouran married into our country only as a concubine, why should she bow her head and say it? Khan's words are rude, it is because he has no sincerity in the alliance!"
As soon as the words fell, the Rouran soldiers who were accompanying them drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another. Yan soldiers were not to be outdone, and drew their swords to face each other.Just at this time, suddenly there was a whistle and the horseshoes slammed, but I saw a single-handed horse galloping straight towards the barracks as if there was no one else around. All the way out was blocked, the bay red horse let out a long neigh, its front hooves flew into the air, and the rider stood up, the knight leaped along with the momentum, stepped on the crossed spear points with his toes, and instantly turned around like a sea of mountains. The incoming offensive is like using four or two strokes of a thousand catties to borrow strength, like walking on flat ground.It seemed that the moment his clothes fluttered, the visitor had landed firmly, slowly raised his head, and looked straight at Shelun Khan on the high platform.
This person wears a martial robe with a leather jacket slanted, and there is no fancy decoration on his whole body. Even his long hair is just casually braided and draped over his shoulders. He is like the most ordinary herdsman at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain. The demeanor of No Man's Land is like Yuan Zhi Yue Lin, which makes people look awe-inspiring and daunting.
She Lun finally got up on his knees, and said in a condescending voice: "Fu Tianwang? I have long admired your name."
Fu Jian raised his hand over his shoulder and shook it lightly: "Don't dare."
She Lun subconsciously glanced into the distance, and there was no one to ride——Fu Jian, the majestic king of Xiliang, actually went to the meeting alone, which is too much of an excuse!Immediately sneered and said: "King Fu Tian is really courageous! He is more kind than someone who only dares to hide in the capital—"
This provocation didn't shake Fu Jian's expression at all, he said calmly: "There is Yang Ding Jian Guo in Xiliang, so Fu just came here for free. Why do you need to add new branches outside the festival, leaving the root and chasing the end?"
"No way!" She Lun waved his hand decisively, "Murongyong looked down on Ben Khan if he didn't come in person, so why talk about an alliance! There are hundreds of thousands of people in my Rouran Khanate who control the strings, and they are powerful in Mobei. They singled out Tuoba The state of Wei is no problem!" Shelun unified Rouran, established the royal court, established military law, and called the Khan, how could they be incompetent and ignorant?Last year, Hu Luguang was instigated to actively invade the Northern Wei Dynasty, just to find out the bottom line of Tuobagui, who had already ruled the Central Plains, and see if his center of gravity was far away from the desert grassland. Gaoche Wangting was razed to the ground by the Wei army - Tuobagui was not satisfied with being a grassland emperor, so he moved the capital from Shengle in Chilechuan to Yunzhongping City, intending to plot the Kyushu in the Central Plains, but it does not mean that he will How can such a tough opponent who doesn't lose every inch of land on the grassland be able to "single out" as he said?It's just that he has his own selfish plans - Fu Jian's civil and military achievements in ruling Xiliang are well-known throughout the Western Regions.It seems that She Lun is a bit jealous-Fu Jian is so capable, how could he fall to Chang'an and withdraw from Guanzhong after the defeat of Feishui, willing to retreat to the six counties of Liangzhou to go to a corner of Pian'an?They established their country with force, and the strong are the kings. They can only advance again and again. Be the leader and become the leader.
Wu Lie looked angrily, and was about to speak, but Fu Jian pressed him on the shoulder and told him to silence—this Wu Lie never believed the rumors that the former emperor Murong Chong, who was a prisoner of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had died, so he was cast idle for the past two years It's because Murong Yong deliberately made him fade out of the eyes of those who are interested in the government, so that he can plan a rescue secretly.Before leaving Chang'an, Murong Yong repeatedly ordered that after going to the alliance, Fu Jian must be the only one to follow.
Fu Jian said in a deep voice, "Then according to Khan's opinion, what should we do?"
She Lun arrogantly said: "Respect Ben Khan as the leader of the alliance, Liangzhou and Xiyan each send 20 soldiers and horses, and hand them over to the commander of Ben Khan for control. Pingcheng!"
"I have no objection to supporting Khan as the leader of the alliance." Today's Fu Jian would not be tired of fame, so he said calmly: "But Khan thinks that the 20 troops are enough to capture the enemy's capital and overthrow the Wei State?"
"The Huns in the desert were so strong in the past, didn't they also expelled them for me and took up all the land?" She Lun became angry, "Or King Fu Tian thinks that I am not as good as Tuoba boy?"
"The [-]-strong crowd was crushed by Tuobagui within half a year. He has already warned the world—although Tuobagui rose from the grasslands, he is no longer just a tribal chief—his cavalry can conquer the Central Plains as well. It can sweep across the desert." Fu Jian's voice was thick and calm, like an ax and a rock, "The country's strength is soft, but it is not enough to conquer Wei."
These mere words clearly disagreed with She Lun's plan to attack Pingcheng. In a head-on confrontation, the veins on She Lun's forehead exploded: "Fu Tianwang means that our army still needs to avoid its edge and sweep away its prestige!"
"Rouran cavalry is flying like a bird, coming and going, and the guerrilla tactics on the grassland are beneficial. Once they enter the pass and fall into an offensive and defensive battle, they will lose their advantage and be controlled by others." Fu Jian said lightly, "Dhu Luguang's failure It is enough to prove that we should not put all our eggs in one basket and fight on the plains. Instead, we should divide our troops and advance, besiege the city to fight for reinforcements, lure Tuobagui out of Pingcheng, encircle and annihilate him!"
She Lun sneered and said: "The King of Heaven sounds nice, but he regards Ben Khan as handsome, but this idea is very big. According to your opinion, Ben Khan can only harass the border of Wei State, even if he really wiped out Tuobagui's troops, Can't take his territory in the Central Plains? How can I benefit Rouran like this?!"
Wu Lie couldn't help interjecting and said sarcastically: "Rouran has always started by plundering, so how can it be of no benefit to capture Wei territory this time?" To build a country with martial arts, the writing system is not yet ready. Even if they enter the customs, the Rouran people who are used to nomadic herding will not be able to adapt to the farming and mulberry life in the Central Plains. The Wei State has been established for a long time, and the Korean and Han factions in North Korea are still arguing about it. What's the use of endlessly fighting each other?"
She Lun said: "It is rumored that Fu Tianwang is unparalleled in eloquence, and he is really good. He needs my Rouran army as the main force, but also listens to your commands. In the future, it will be cheaper if the territory cannot be occupied. You and Murong Yong, how can there be so much money in the world? thing!"
"I don't want an inch of land in the Northern Wei Dynasty." Fu Jian said firmly.
But She Lun had a look of disbelief, turned his eyes, and took out a palm-sized jade military talisman from his bosom, and said deliberately: "We Rouran people are the most brave in martial arts. I have heard about the martial arts group of heavenly kings. How about letting Ben Khan open his eyes?" ——This soldier talisman is divided into two parts, and when combined, thousands of troops can be mobilized. Ben Khan hung this half of the soldier talisman on the fringe of the big flag, and the king of heaven tied the other half to the arrow. If the soldier talisman is not broken, Rouran's army will follow orders!"
It is well known that Fu Jian is good at halberds, but She Lun badly asked him to practice martial arts with archery. In the distance, the big banner hanging high above the ground is several feet away, and it is fluttered by the wind. Half a soldier talisman is not easy, and the arrow is tied to the other half of a soldier talisman. The arrow is heavy and inaccurate, and those who are not of great strength cannot do it.But strength alone is not enough. This soldier talisman is made of Kunlun jade, which is brittle in texture. Once it is shot, it is likely to be torn apart due to excessive force. How can Shelun give up at that time?Seeing that Fu Jian shook his head slightly, he suddenly tapped his fingers and whistled, the red horse soared on all fours, and jumped in front of him in the blink of an eye. Fu Jian reached out and took out the Fang Tian painted halberd under the saddle, and hung half a soldier talisman on the twig of the halberd with one hand. , Turning his head to She Lun, he said: "In the past, there was Lu Bu, Marquis Wen of the Three Kingdoms, who shot a halberd at the Yuanmen Gate to solve the conflict. Tonight, I would like to follow suit and move this halberd outside the Yuanmen Gate. I will shoot it here with a heavy arrow. If I can I was lucky to win, and the pawns fit together without being broken, please Khan accept my opinion."
Wu Lie was dumbfounded as he listened - the gate is more than a hundred steps away, and his vision is limited at night, even if Lu Fengxian is reborn, he might not be able to do it!She Lun's eyes flickered - he didn't know the characters of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't want to show his timidity and inaccuracy in front of Fu Jian.Looking at the depths of the gate again, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Okay. Let the king of heaven try shooting!"
The two soldiers carried Fang Tian's painted halberd, which weighed tens of kilograms, and flew to the gate to stand upright. The snow-white tip of the halberd flashed in the night.
Fu Jian raised the arrow to take aim, then lowered the bow, then unhurriedly attached the remaining half of the soldier talisman to the arrow, bound the arrow to the ground and sank it down, then rolled up his sleeves again, and attached the arrow , drew his bow all over, and shouted: "Go!"
People were still unable to react in time, and all of a sudden they saw an arrow flying across the night sky like a shooting star, chasing the wind like thunder and cracking ice, hitting a twig on the halberd with a whizzing sound, shooting down the halberd and jade together, and nailing it deeply into the soil , the white rustling arrow tail swayed unceasingly.Those who saw it were all dazzled and horrified - it really is like a moon in the depths of the gate, a twig in a little cold star!
The Rouran soldier stepped forward, pulled out the arrow with all his strength, and quickly sent the two jade talismans to She Lun: "I report to Khan, the two soldier talismans are intact!" She Lun accepted the inspection with a livid face—— Fu Jian had just hit the tip of the halberd by chance, and it broke the jade rope, so the soldier's talisman fell without cracking, and the two soldiers fit together without breaking.
Wu Lie saw it clearly, and it was only at this time that he recalled: Fu Jian chose to look far away because the tip of the halberd reflected light in the night and it was easier to hit the target; a hard weapon can also bear the weight of the arrow. He even suffered from Shelun's making things difficult for him so that he would not dare to break his promise in front of the armed forces.
Every step of the way is to move after planning, and never miss.
Fu Jian stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "So, is Khan willing to listen to me?"
She Lun really didn't dare to underestimate Fu Jian any more, because he said, "Okay, Ben Khan will follow through on what he says, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be decided at this point - but I don't know when the king of heaven will send troops?"
"Temporarily serving as a soldier." Fu Jian sighed slightly: "Now that Tuoba Wei's domestic turmoil hasn't broken out, it's not the best time to launch a war."
It wasn't that he was afraid of battle and defeat, it was because he only had this one chance in this life, with the distance between the blue sky and the yellow spring, he really couldn't afford to lose.
