Chapter 207 The imperial commander’s personal expedition

The situation in Hebei was reported to Pingcheng, and Tuoba Si, the usually steady emperor, also felt a little regretful.

I had thought about plundering in Henan before, but I didn't expect that the Song army would also come to Hebei and cause such trouble.

There are differences in this.

The cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty went to Henan but could not persuade the local people to defect to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But now the Song cavalry's march to Hebei has brought an almost devastating blow!

"Xi Jin is now watched by Tan Daoji of Huai County and dare not go to other places to support him."

"Changsun Song is confronting Zhu Lingshi again in Hedong."

"And Liu Yu..."

What Tuoba Si was most afraid of was Liu Yu who had not moved.

Because of this, he has kept more than half of the Northern Wei forces in the center, just to deal with Liu Yu.

But now it seems that if the army is not moved again, there will be no chance to move at all.

"I want to lead the expedition myself!"

There can be no chaos in Hebei!

Today's Xianbei is actually lying on the Han people in Hebei to suck blood.

If Hebei was in chaos, the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty would be greatly shaken.

in particular--

Once chaos breaks out in Hebei, what will those Han families in the north do?

The difference between Tuoba Si and previous Hu regimes was that he paid special attention to the connection with Han families and used Han to control Han.

Especially at the level of governing the country, Tuoba Si always believed that the Han people were much more important than the Hu people.

Former Zhao, Later Zhao, Former Yan, Former Qin...

These prosperous countries fully demonstrate that the barbarians are not suitable for governing the country, and iron blood and fists are only suitable for conquest.

“This is a time of crisis for our sincerity’s survival!”

Regarding Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, Tuoba Si had always had the worst plan. Now, it is not a surprise.

"Go and call the prince and Cui Hao."

Tuoba Si felt that some things needed to be explained clearly.

When Tuoba Tao and Cui Hao came to the palace and saw Tuoba Si, they were quite surprised.

Tuoba Si, who had always been sickly, was now wearing a set of gold armor and no longer looked as depressed as before.

"Father, this is..."

Tuoba Si waved his hand to tell Tuoba Tao not to speak.

He turned to look at Cui Hao.

"Cui Jijiu, Hebei is in chaos. I'm going to lead the expedition myself!"

Cui Hao's pupils were shocked when he heard the news.

"Liu Yu sent a cavalry into Hebei. This cavalry should be the cavalry from Guanzhong. Their horses are all Xiliang war horses obtained from Helian Bobo and Xixui. Their impact on the plains is greater than that of our army.

It’s stronger and has to be guarded against.”

"and……"

Tuoba Si hesitated for a while and said: "The Han people in Hebei are also a little out of control. Xi Jin can't solve this problem, so he sent a letter to me."

Han Chinese?

Tuoba Tao turned to look at Cui Hao, who was as calm as ever.

"So, I want to go to Hebei personally to direct the war."

"If I move, Liu Yu from Luoyang will definitely move too."

Tuoba Si also looked at Cui Hao: "How does Cui Jijiu think Liu Yu will go?"

"Hadong!"

Cui Hao didn't hesitate at all.

The two countries have gone through so many tricks before just to make the other party make mistakes first.

Now if Tuoba Si insists on leading his army to Hebei, then Hedong will definitely become the best breakthrough point in Liu Yu's eyes.

Changsun Song can guard against Zhu Lingshi, but if he faces Liu Yu...

Cui Hao really couldn't guarantee it.

It was even said that if Liu Yu attacked Hedong forcefully at any cost and killed thousands or even tens of thousands of people, he might even capture Hedong in a short time.

Once Hedong was captured, the Northern Wei Dynasty would be completely difficult to fight.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the situation in Hebei is important, but Hedong is the key to this battle!"

And don’t forget Rouran and her neighbor Hu Xia who were behind the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After all, Liu Song had a cooperative relationship with both countries, and they were guarding against the forces of both parties.

How could the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was directly hostile to the two parties, not keep an eye on these two guys?

Once Tuoba Si took charge of the expedition himself, Liu Yu would not mention that he would attack Hedong by force.

Even a sneak attack by Rouran and Hu Xia on Pingcheng was enough for the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Cui Hao also fell into a deep sense of powerlessness.

The current Northern Wei Dynasty was almost completely surrounded by several powerful forces.

What is even more terrifying is the situation of endless death.

Mainly Liu Yu...

The rise of Liu Yu revitalized the decayed empire in the south, and he marched towards the north with his strong body. Every step made the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty suffocated.

After Cui Hao thought about it for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty... I think that your Majesty cannot go to Hebei even if you are the imperial commander."

"But Hedong!"

"As for Hebei, we can definitely send Chang Sun Song over to suppress it."

Cui Hao suddenly suggested that Tuoba Si go to Hedong.

Meet King Liu Yu and have a head-on confrontation.

As for Hebei...Liu Yu would definitely not send his main force to deliver food to the Northern Wei cavalry, unless Liu Yu was crazy.

Tuoba Si also looked surprised after hearing Cui Hao's suggestion.

He originally thought Cui Hao would persuade him to stay in Pingcheng. But he didn't expect Cui Hao to simply suggest that he be stationed in Hedong...

This seemed to open up a whole new way of thinking for Tuoba Si.

Is it beneficial for Tuoba Si to lead troops to Hedong?

Definitely!

First of all, Hedong is closer to Pingcheng than Hebei is to Pingcheng. If there is any change between Hu Xia and Rouran, Tuoba Si can call the army back at any time.

Secondly, the emperor's personal expedition would undoubtedly greatly improve the morale of the Northern Wei army and increase the chance of victory in resisting Liu Yu.

Three times...

Tuoba Si thought of Fu Jian.

At that time, Fu Jian unified the north and established an unprecedented great country ruled by the Hu people. However, after the defeat of Feishui, it was said that everything was gone.

In fact, that battle did not defeat the entire main force of the former Qin Dynasty, but broke the heart of the former Qin Dynasty.

The former Qin Dynasty was mixed with too many nomadic peoples and expanded too fast. In addition, Fu Jian was always very kind... or a woman's benevolence. She mainly focused on appeasing the enemy. Even kings like Murong Chui were afraid of them.

People dared to take it away, which resulted in the mountains in the former Qin Dynasty. On the surface, they looked united, but in fact they were scattered.

This phenomenon also existed in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Otherwise, if Tuoba Si established some "eight great people", wouldn't it be bad to centralize power?

If we are stationed in the east of Hedong, we can also deter some gangsters at any time so that they will not cause trouble behind our backs.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Si began to hesitate.

"Cui Jijiu... go down first and let me think about it."

Cui Hao resigned obediently, and for a time only Tuoba Si, Tuoba Tao and his son were left in the palace.

Tuoba Tao asked anxiously: "Father, what exactly do you think?

"Go to Hedong!"

In fact, Tuoba Si never thought of thinking about it carefully.

After Cui Hao proposed another path, Tuoba Si's previous difficulties were solved.

Tuoba Si's behavior made Tuoba Tao even more confused: "Then my father just..."

"Foli, remember one sentence."

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

Tuoba Si looked at the direction Cui Hao was leaving:

"You must stay in Pingcheng to supervise the country after my imperial commander personally goes to war."

"You can listen to Cui Hao on everything then."

"There's only one contingency."

Tuoba Si touched Tuoba Tao's head and said, "Remember, if I lose, you will kill Cui Hao immediately!"
