The terrifying pressure made Li Shun feel uncomfortable again.

Keep your mind strong.

Li Shun asked Liu Yizhen a question first: "Can the Emperor of the Song Dynasty first tell the envoy why he asked Xie Hui to go to the East China Sea?"

Liu Yizhen frowned.

That's it?

"I felt that he had lost his energy after being by my side for a long time, so I put him outside to calm down..."

After that, Liu Yizhen became even more confused: "Is this what you are paying attention to?"

Li Shun obviously didn't expect to get such an answer. After he looked at Liu Yizhen blankly for a few seconds and confirmed that Liu Yizhen had no intention of teasing him, he suddenly lost half of his energy.

He didn't know how he should react at this time, and in the end all his emotions turned into one sentence: "That's it."

Liu Yizhen followed Xie Hui and thought a lot.

After that, Liu Yizhen's expression became even weirder.

"Did Cui Hao think that I kicked Xie Hui out because of some disputes in our Song court?"

"Also, the reason why he sent you here is because he wanted you to deal with it?"

"It's best to... be able to continue to provoke the family to go against me?"

If this is the case, Liu Yizhen can only say that Cui Hao is overthinking.

Triangles are the most stable structures.

The current situation among the emperor, the military, and the aristocratic family is quite delicate.

In order to maintain this situation, Liu Yizhen not only suppressed the other two parties when they were strong, but even cut his own flesh to achieve a balance among the three parties.

If the aristocratic family dares to continue to confront Liu Yizhen after splitting as before, they can solve this hidden danger internally without Liu Yizhen and the military taking action.

The current Liu Song Chaotang is no longer the same as it was a few years ago.

At that time, not only did the aristocratic families divide themselves into northern aristocratic families, not to mention southern aristocratic families, the southern aristocratic families could also be divided into indigenous aristocratic families and foreign aristocratic families...

Now that the family's own size has shrunk several times, the emperor and the military are forcing them to join a group to keep warm. The introduction of Zheng Xianzhi is a very strong signal.

Under such circumstances, Cui Hao still wants to cause a split within the family, which is indeed a bit unreliable.

"Maybe it's the courage given to Cui Hao by those aristocratic families in Hebei."

The South and the Central Plains were plowed by the two emperors Liu Yu and Liu Yizhen, and their power was no longer as powerful as before.

Only Hebei.

Because of the need to maintain stability, and because this place had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for a hundred years, no one's bottom was clean, so Liu Yizhen did not launch a large-scale investigation of Hebei. At most, he would kill a few people.

Judging from Cui Hao's "confident" attitude, the aristocratic families in Hebei Province saw that the domestic environment in Liu Song was not very friendly to the aristocratic families, and planned to welcome back their old masters in the north.

Just when Liu Yizhen was trying to figure out Cui Hao, Li Shun below could no longer even stand firmly.

An extremely casual reason made the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty suspicious for a long time. Such a blow made Li Shun himself no longer dare to believe that the Northern Wei Dynasty could defeat Liu Song in the future.

The slightest disturbance in the Liu Song court was enough for the Northern Wei Dynasty to do some research, but little did they know that it was just a gust of wind.

At this moment, Li Shun finally recognized a fact that even Cui Hao failed to recognize——

At this moment, Liu Song no longer regarded the Northern Wei Dynasty as an enemy.

"Now I understand why Cui Hao asked you to come."

"Does he think that after I eliminated Hu Xia, I started to drift... and started to take credit and be arrogant?"

"So, send you to me so that I can find some sense of accomplishment from you?"

Seeing Li Shun's pale face, Liu Yizhen's eyes showed considerable disappointment.

"Cui Hao is indeed a capable person, but after all, his vision has not jumped out."

"He thought my target was the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he came up with this boring strategy."

Li Shunqiang pretended to be calm and asked: "How dare you ask what the Emperor of the Song Dynasty wants?"

"As long as your majesty defeats the state of Wei and re-pacifies the north, your civil and martial arts skills will be comparable to those of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu... Couldn't even these satisfy your majesty?"

Li Shun was actually a little scared at this moment.

How ambitious is the emperor in front of him?

Liu Yizhen rubbed his wrist: "When Qin came out of Han Valley in the east, few people among the six kingdoms could guess that Ying Zheng's goal was to destroy the six kingdoms and establish the world."

"The Six Kingdoms have existed for hundreds of years. They did not believe that their country, Zuo, would be destroyed by Qin. They also did not believe that Qin would really have the goal of unifying the world. At most, it would only occupy a few more pieces of land. Therefore, they came up with the idea of ​​"from breaking up the treaty"

If Qin loses, the joke of "fighting for territory and bribing Qin" comes out."

"But what they don't know is that the world is destined to be unified. This era is destined to move forward."

"Cui Hao and Tuoba Tao are still using the tactics of the Six Kingdoms to deal with me. At best, they are just like the Six Kingdoms who "didn't love the precious and fertile land, so that all the people in the world became united, established diplomatic relations, and became one."

"That's all."

"What's more, the Northern Wei Dynasty itself is very poor now. Even if you unite Beiliang in Hexi to fight, you may not be able to achieve the success of the Six Kingdoms."

Liu Yizhen and Li Shun talked a lot, but Li Shun only read one sentence in the whole article——

"I really no longer regard the Northern Wei Dynasty as my opponent."

Frustration~

Powerless~

All the bones in Li Shun's body seemed to have been shaken, and he looked at Liu Yizhen, who was above him, a little limply.

Liu Yizhen also lost interest in Li Shun: "It's been half a month since you left Pingcheng. I don't know how Tuoba Tao has prepared during this time."

"Yunzhong, Jinyang, Western Liaoning."

"Li Shun, which side do you think Tuoba Tao will choose as his attack direction?"

Without waiting for Li Shun to answer, Liu Yizhen began to ask and answer his own questions: "Yunzhong is too close to Pingcheng, and the Yinshan Mountains have a favorable geographical location. It is impossible to capture it by sneak attack in a short time."

"There is Yanmen Mountain in the middle of Heping City in Jinyang, and the two countries have respectively repaired Yanmen Pass. If they want to fight against each other, they will also suffer huge losses."

"In addition, since Cui Hao sent you here, the purpose is to delay time and give Tuoba Tao time to mobilize his troops. Yunzhong and Jinyang are not far from Pingcheng, so it doesn't take half a month to prepare. From this point of view,

Come on, it’s only Hebei.”

"There are two routes to attack from Hebei. One is from the Jundu Trail in the "Taihang Eight Trails" to the east. As long as Juyong Pass is captured, you can invade Hebei; the other is to take a detour from western Liaoning to attack Youbeiping."

"The marching distance of the former is obviously shorter. Normal people would choose to attack Hebei from Juyongguan."

"But Tuoba Tao is not a normal person."

"He is a genius."

"Military genius!"

"Although Juyong Pass is close, it is heavily guarded by Zhu Chaoshi and Shen Qingzhi. If Tuoba Tao really wants to engulf Hebei like a raging fire, he must maximize the mobility of his cavalry and disrupt Hebei as quickly as possible...

…In this case, attacking Juyongguan becomes the last resort.”

Finally, Liu Yizhen looked at Li Shun, who was already shaking all over, with a smile.

"I understand, it's Liaoxi, right?"

"Tuoba Tao... how long until we arrive?"
