Liu Yuqi said: "Tuoba Gui was just a person when he left your eldest brother. How come he has only been in the grassland for a few months, but he has a group of elite soldiers and warriors around him? This is unlikely."
Murong Lan's expression became extremely serious: "When he left my eldest brother, An Tong was not around, but why did he become his best friend now? If there is An Tong, there will be others. I think we all
I underestimated this young man. He has not lost contact with the grassland these years. Someone has been accumulating strength for him here. As soon as he returns to the grassland, these powers that have been dormant for many years will be activated."
Liu Yu sighed: "You can probably guess that An Tong has always been Tuoba Gui's man, and your eldest brother was also deceived by this profiteer."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "My eldest brother has actually suspected An Tong for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have specially asked you to carry out this mission. However, Tuoba Gui's spy on the grassland is very powerful, and my people can hardly detect it.
What news? Even in these ten days and a half, three outstanding spies disappeared. They should have been discovered while investigating Tuobagui's power and were murdered."
Liu Yu frowned: "Do you think you should report these situations to your elder brother and ask him to send new manpower to support you?"
Murong Lan smiled and said: "This is your decision. You must know that Canglang is now the highest-level representative of the Yan Kingdom on the grassland, not Aiqin."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "In that case, why do you use your own intelligence spies to do these things?"
Murong Lan put away her smile and said sternly: "Because you are my husband, I can't let you be in any danger. The intelligence journey is thrilling. Your talent lies in marching and fighting, not this kind of intelligence work. Anyway, from now on I
There is no need for these spies, just use them one last time before you and I take over the mountain."
Liu Yu nodded: "With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? I don't think Tuoba Gui has publicly rebelled now. Even if your eldest brother knows that he betrayed him, there is no way to punish him. We should still find a way to let him
Self-reliance, once he rebels against Liu Xian and leaves, the grassland will fall into division and war, and we will have completed our mission."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused: "In my opinion, Liu Weichen and Tuoba Kudu have appeared in the west of Monan. They will temporarily form a balance of power with the Dugu tribe. If Tuoba Gui wants to stand on his own, he can win over him.
The ones she relies on are probably Rouran in Mobei and the Helan tribe in the east. Especially the Helan tribe, which is her mother's tribe and has been fighting with Liu Xian for a long time, will definitely become a powerful helper for him."
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "But the Helan tribe and the Dugu tribe have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Liu Xian had already expected that if Tuoba Gui escaped, the first one would go to the Helan tribe, so he set up more than a dozen people between the two tribes.
They are a closely related tribe and are surrounded by sentinels. If Tuoba Gui really wants to escape to the Helan tribe, it will be difficult for him to go to Qingtian, but it would be much more realistic to escape north to Rouran."
Liu Yu thought of the conversation he had with Kuai En during the day and said thoughtfully: "But why should the Rouran Department be loyal to Tuoba Gui? They are the escaped slaves of Tuoba Gui's great-grandfather Tuoba Yulu.
It was built by enemies."
Murong Lan's eyes flashed coldly: "The Rouran tribe is very powerful, but they have never been allowed to come to Monan. They can only endure the bitter cold in Mobei. If Tuobagui allows them to move to Monan, I think
They would support Tuoba Gui without hesitation. In the past, the Rouran tribe paid tribute to Liu Kuren and Liu Xian of the Dugu tribe every year. They wanted to come to Monan for a few months a year, but the Dugu tribe was afraid that they would take the opportunity to attack the desert.
Nan, or maybe he just refused to leave because he was rooted in his roots, so the Rouran Department will definitely move towards Tuoba Gui."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Good analysis. Then, there is only one last question left. How can Tuobagui get Liu Xian to attack him at this time? As long as he has a self-reliance, he can let Liu Xian attack him.
A killer? I’m afraid that’s not the case.”
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "That's natural. For Liu Xian to attack him at this time, unless it's the hatred of killing his father or taking away his wife..."
At this point, Murong Lan's expression suddenly changed, and she slapped Liu Yu's thigh: "Yes, why didn't I think of it all this time?"
Liu Yu only felt his thighs were numb from her slap. He frowned and said, "I didn't expect anything. You were so surprised and deceived?"
Murong Lan laughed: "Do you still remember that I told you about Tuoba Gui's mother, Helan? She is a famous beauty on the grassland. Liu Xian has long coveted her, and she is Helan.
If he can get her and become his wife, the relationship with the Helan tribe can be eased. Now that Tuoba Gui intends to stand on his own, the Helan tribe has been eyeing her, and a strong enemy has appeared in the west. Liu Xian
The Helan clan will definitely have the idea. On the one hand, it can be used as a hostage to contain Tuoba Gui. On the other hand, it can be used to bargain with the Helan tribe, allowing them to send troops to help them deal with Liu Weichen at this time. Another point is that it can declare to the grassland.
The three main tribes, Dugu, Tuoba and Helan, united to prevent the small tribes from falling towards Tuoba Kudu."
Liu Yu laughed: "You still think too far, yes, it must be like this."
Murong Lan blinked: "I'm afraid there's something else you don't know. That's the Helan family. Her name is Helan Linghua. She also has a younger sister named Helanmin. She is also known as the alluring and independent north.
Beauty, countless men are crazy about her. The reason why Liu Xian has not dared to accept He Lanling for many years is because he still needs He Lanmin's help. Without this woman, he would not be where he is today."
Liu Yu frowned: "Is this woman more beautiful than her sister?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Although He Lan Linghua was once the most beautiful woman in the grassland, after all, her son is almost 20 now. Women will always grow old, and their beauty and love will fade. Liu Xian wants to get more from her.
It is the Tuoba family's family fortune and the support of the Helan tribe. But this Helanmin is different. She is more than ten years younger than her sister and is in her prime. Three years ago, Liu Kuren spent 5,000 horses.
We only hired 10,000 cows from the Helan tribe with the intention of making her his wife. However, he died before leaving the army. Now, it is his son Liu Xian's turn to covet Helanmin."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "If you haven't married for three years, is it possible that you are observing filial piety?"
Murong Lan took a deep breath: "Of course not. Liu Kuren and his son did not include He Lanmin in their account because this woman has a more important role than being a bed partner. She is a witch and has the ability to predict the future.
