I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

people.I also knew that Song Lian brought it up here because he didn't want him to continue to be depressed.

Seeing the expression of emotion on Tuoba Ren's face, Song Lian continued his efforts, "My lord, a hero does not have to be invincible in killing an enemy. There is a saying in the Central Plains that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you get depressed because of a single defeat, then this Man is doomed to fail forever."

Tuoba Ren smiled wryly, "This king understands Mr. Song's meaning, but, this king is in the middle of the game, and there is always something he has to do. You have also seen the situation of this king. Listen, the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing over there is endless , it is the king who is hosting the banquet for King Liangu. Today's Helianbo's reputation in the royal court is unmatched, and even the king has to back away, this king, how can this king compete with him?"

He paused, and said very sincerely: "Actually, the king invited Mr. Song, just to let Mr. Song's talents be displayed, and to recommend Mr. Song to King Khan. I wonder what Mr. Song wants?"

Song Lian narrowed his eyes, wondering whether Tuoba Ren's words were sincere or probing.What is his purpose in doing this?

If it is recommended to him sincerely, then whether he can complete his own revenge by the side of King Khan, yes, he will take revenge on all those who have wronged him.He knew that it would be impossible for him to avenge his enmity by himself alone, so coming here was also the result of his countless schemes.If he wants to take advantage of the situation, he can only use the power of Suixi country to overthrow the country of Dayan.

And if it was a deliberate attempt, then he had to think carefully about how to satisfy Tuoba Ren.

"Why did the prince say that?" Song Lian's thoughts turned quickly, but he said: "The prince has a kindness to Lian, and Lian will try his best to repay this kindness. The prince should know what kind of person Lian is. But he also knows how to repay his kindness."

Tuoba Ren didn't speak, and Song Lian didn't know what he was thinking. After deliberating for a while, he said, "Lian came to the border area because he offended the dignitaries in the capital, so he hid there as a last resort. Lian was at the end When I was in trouble, I met Song Qingfu to save me, so I stayed by Song Qingfu's side to advise him and help him develop his power."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Song Qingfu was too hearty and didn't listen to me. In the end, he fell into the trap of King Duan and was caught by King Duan. Lian finally escaped by chance, but King Duan issued a hunting order. The prince is the only one who has Lian today."

These words are all true, and he said it himself to alleviate the worries in Tuoba Ren's heart.After so long, Tuoba Ren must have investigated his past.Rather than hiding it, it would be better to take the initiative to confess and make Tuoba Ren trust him.

He had already thought about it just now, if Tuoba Ren really recommended him to King Khan, he would at best be an idle minister, a marginalized little person.Looking at the situation in the royal court, it is not monolithic, and the various forces are intricate, and even King Khan's prestige is not satisfactory.Rather than tossing and turning in the intrigue of the royal court, it is better to follow Tuoba Ren.

Although Tuoba Ren's reputation had plummeted due to his previous defeat, he knew that Tuoba Ren was not someone who would easily admit defeat.

But Tuoba Ren has ambitions and aspirations. He wants to break Dayan, make extraordinary achievements, and be a hero of the grassland to be admired by everyone.This person is the most beneficial to him. Although their goals are different, their goals are the same, and they are all enemies of Dayan.

In this way, if he offers suggestions and joins forces with Tuoba Ren, relying on his own ability, it is not impossible to overthrow the Dayan court in the future.Even if he can't make it to the last step, he still has to create troubles and make Emperor Dayan a headache, so that he can get rid of the bad breath in his heart.This is his most correct choice.

Song Lian fixedly looked at Tuoba Ren, stood up and bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "My lord, no matter what the lord is, Lian is willing to follow the lord. As long as the lord has the heart, Lian is willing to help the lord break through Shichongguan and attack the capital of Dayan .”

Song Lian's words of loyalty really made Tuoba Ren feel happy. Tuoba Ren needed a talent like Song Lian.He had already sent someone to inquire about Song Lian's past, and he also knew that Song Lian was capable.He is ruthless, resourceful, and knows Dayan deeply. With his help, he can be said to be like a tiger with wings added.

Tuoba Ren rubbed the teacup with his pale fingers, and he laughed out loud after Song Lian's words fell for a long time.Tuoba Ren got up and walked over, helped Song Lian up, and said with a smile: "Okay! Very good! I have Mr. Song's help, so why worry about my wish not being fulfilled?"

Song Lian was overjoyed. He already knew that Tuoba Ren believed him completely. It seemed that he made the right move.

After sitting down again, Tuoba Ren took out the memorial just now, "Mr. Song, please read this memorial first and tell us your opinion."

Song Lian took it, glanced at ten lines, read the words on the newspaper, and asked doubtfully: "My lord, what is the meaning of this Xiqi Corridor?"

144. Chapter 144

He had never heard of this name before, and the only thing he knew was Xiqi Mountain between Suixi Kingdom and Wuliang Kingdom.

Tuoba Ren stood up, moved to the big map behind him, and pointed to a place, which was the Xiqi Mountains.He explained: "It was created by King Yan Duan. He plans to build a passage in this long and narrow valley to connect the Western Regions."

Song Lian also stepped forward, looking along where Tuoba Ren pointed.

Tuoba Ren went on to say: "This is the area between Suixi State and Wuliang State. Because there are high mountains on both sides, the road is obstructed and dangerous. No one goes to this place, and it becomes a barren land over time. That's how it is. Our two countries also tacitly regard this place as the border between the two countries. Therefore, this place has become a land without owner."

Song Lian rubbed his chin, stared at the map carefully, and asked after a long time: "Why did King Duan create this Xiqi Corridor? Logically speaking, this place is useless at all."

"Look at this again." Tuoba Ren took out another secret letter and handed it to Song Lian.

This is the news sent by the spies from the border area. After Ming Yu returned to Beijing, he called many merchants to the border area.And Ming Yu's Xiqi Corridor is to facilitate trade with countries in the Western Regions.

After reading it, Song Lian was silent. He didn't understand business. He used to study only to take the imperial examination and become an official. In the future, his official career will skyrocket.In his view, doing business is something for inferior talents.

Now, a prince of Yan is actually colluding with merchants, and spent a lot of time building passages and corridors just for business and trade?Song Lian found it incredible.

After Song Lian finished reading, Tuoba Ren asked, "I wonder what Mr. Song thinks?"

Song Lian frowned, pondered for a long time before saying: "Prince Duan wants to use this road to trade in the Western Regions. Lian doesn't know anything about business, so he won't comment on it. However, what I want to say next is that Duan Since the king wants this place, he will definitely build a city to defend the pass and deploy troops to guard it."

Tuoba Ren nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

Song Lian then said again: "I'm a little worried, if this land really falls into the hands of Dayan, it will do a lot of harm to Suixi Kingdom but not a single benefit."

Tuoba Ren's expression froze, he walked around a few times with his hands behind his back, and asked, "How do you say that?"

"In the past, Suixi Kingdom was located between Dayan and the Western Regions, so there was no connection between the two sides. But if King Duan used the guise of doing business with the Western Regions to secretly make the countries of the Western Regions and Suixi Kingdom an enemy, wouldn't the Suixi Kingdom be Became the enemy?"

Hearing this, Tuoba Ren stopped in his tracks, covered his mouth and coughed several times.

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Song Lian continued: "If Dayan is allowed to garrison here, the terrain will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Suixi Kingdom is famous for its iron cavalry, but here, the iron cavalry cannot exert their strength because of the terrain. Advantages. And if the soldiers of Dayan have the heart, they can invade Suixi Kingdom from the Xiqi Corridor at any time, and Suixi Kingdom will have no defense at all, but the Dayan army will be able to enter the land of no one."

After saying these words, Tuoba Ren's expression changed, he clenched his fists tightly, his heart was agitated, and he coughed more violently.

"Hahaha...what a joke!" Someone outside laughed and pushed the door open.The two people in the room looked up at the same time, but saw the tall figure at the door, it was Chachaqi.

Chachaqi returned with Tuoba Ren's defeat last time, but he didn't feel dissatisfied with Tuoba Ren, but admired Tuoba Ren instead.

Because he also experienced that unbelievable battle, he still has lingering fears in retrospect.But I have to say that Tuoba Ren's coping ability is admirable.

Facing the soldiers who were so frightened that they lost their souls, Tuoba Ren brought them out with his own strength. If Tuoba Ren hadn't made a prompt decision, the losses they suffered would be immeasurable.

Tuoba Ren's ability to lead the army is unparalleled. It can be said that as long as there is Tuoba Ren in the army, the soul of the army will be there, and the centripetal force of the soldiers will be there.can do this,
