Chapter nine hundred and fortieth called Hu Ren dog bite dog
It's a bit interesting to accept the title but not send troops. ◎Literature Museumr />
A strange look flashed in Tuoba Li's eyes, but he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Yuwen Tuo, what do you mean by this? Please explain it clearly to me."
"The Emperor of Jin just wants to use us to fight against Chu for him. Even though you have the title of King of Wei, you have to sacrifice the lives of our Xianbei warriors to work for Jin. I don't think it's worth it." Yuwen Tuo is very pragmatic.
When he said this, all the chiefs calmed down and gradually felt that what he said seemed reasonable.
"It is of course a supreme honor to be granted the title of the Emperor of the Central Plains. But now the Jin State is in danger, and its national strength is not as good as ours, Xianbei. So what if we are granted the title of the Jin State? I think we might as well take advantage of the opportunity. Get some real benefits."
"Actual benefits, what actual benefits?" Tuoba Liwei's eyes dimmed slightly.
Yuwen Tuo pointed to the east and sneered: "If Kebi can be captured, Xiaozhong Xianbei and even the entire central Xianbei will be in panic, and the heroes will be leaderless. I think you should lead your troops eastward and take advantage of the situation to capture the entire central Xianbei." The benefits of annexation are not as great as the false title of a Wei king."
In the big tent, all the chiefs were shocked, and everyone was suddenly excited, as if they suddenly woke up.
A mysterious sneer flashed across the corner of Tuoba Liwei's lips. It was obvious that he had already had this thought in his mind, but it was Yuwen Tuo who said it for him.
There are dozens of large and small tribes in the central Xianbei, with hundreds of thousands of tribesmen, which is almost the same as the western Xianbei. If they can be combined, the population under his rule will be nearly half a million.
Moreover, this time it will be a real annexation, not a nominal surrender. Once successful, Tuoba Liwei's strength will be unprecedentedly strong, far exceeding Kebineng.
If he can annex Murong Xianbei in the east with this huge strength, his strength will be comparable to that of the Huns of the past, and he can even herd horses southward to recreate the glory of the Huns.
"Kebineng was defeated and captured, and Xianbei in the central region lost his backbone. This is indeed a good opportunity." Tuoba Li nodded slightly, approving of Yuwen Tuo's advice.
The other chiefs were not fools either. When they saw Tuoba Liwei's behavior, they guessed that he had long wanted to annex the central Xianbei, so the chiefs changed their minds one after another. They all agreed with Yuwen Tuo's proposal.
The chiefs no longer had any objections. Tuoba Liwei was so excited that he jumped up and said boldly: "I have long had the ambition to unify Xianbei and lead my Xianbei people to go south to herd horses, but I have been suffering from no chance. Today God-given opportunity. How can I miss it?"
At that moment, Tuoba Liwei made a small decision and openly accepted Jin's policy of granting the title of king of Wei. He also gained the title of nominal co-lord of Xianbei.
After accepting the title, Tuoba Liwei refused to go south in the name of subduing Xiaozhong Xianbei and in the name of pacifying Xiaozhong Xianbei. Instead, he sent his troops eastward to kill the Yanbei grassland where Xiaozhong Xianbei and central Xianbei were located. .
The Jin envoy had no choice but to return south in a hurry from outside the Great Wall, and sent people in advance to speed up the horse and report what happened in Xianbei to Jinyang.
In Jinyang City, 40,000 Jin troops are working day and night to strengthen the defense of Jinyang City.
In the palace, Sima Yi was in even a good mood, watching his two sons practicing swordsmanship with great interest.
With Zhang Chunhua's analysis in the previous episode, Sima Yi had relaxed his mood and was just waiting for the Xianbei troops to arrive. With his 100,000-strong coalition, he could rely on Jinyang City at his back and easily fight a defensive battle.
Sima Yi believed that although Yan Liang was invincible on the plains, without the help of gunpowder in the mountains and rivers inside and outside Bingzhou, no matter how powerful he was, he would never be able to break through the fortified city of Jinyang.
In the open space of the imperial garden, two children, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, were waving wooden swords and fighting "fiercely".
After all, Master Sima was a few years older. After more than ten moves, he forced Sima Zhao to be at a loss. Within a few moves, a sword hit Sima Zhao's wrist. Sima Zhao grunted in pain and the sword fell off his hand.
"What a great sword, Master. I haven't seen you for a few days, and your swordsmanship has improved a lot." Sima Yi, who was watching the battle, clapped his hands and cheered for his son.
Master Sima was praised by his father, with a look of pride on his face, while his younger brother Sima Zhao felt a little sad.
"Zhaoer, your swordsmanship is not bad. As long as you practice hard, you will catch up with your brother one day." Sima Yi did not forget to praise his younger son.
Sima Zhao immediately cheered up and showed a look of relief on his face.
"Father, I have heard that that cheap thief Yan Liang is approaching our capital. I am willing to lead the army into battle to kill the enemy and cut off the head of that cheap thief for my father." Master Sima did not know that the sky was high and the earth was high, so he asked Sima Yi for a fight.
"My son, I also want to follow my elder brother out of the city and kill that piece of shit Yan Liang." Sima Zhao was not willing to lag behind and followed his brother.
Looking at his two high-spirited sons, Sima Yi only smiled faintly, caressed their shoulders and said, "It's good that you have the courage, but that Yan Liang is not a kind person. With your current strength, you can't deal with that guy."
"Hmph, what's so great about Yan Liang?" Master Sima pouted, "I heard that that guy is just a humble martial artist from a humble family. Killing him would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death."
The Sima family comes from a noble family, and Master Sima has been influenced by it since he was a child. He has always believed that the higher his status is, the better he is in everything he does than the lowly status. He does not know the heights of the world, so he thinks that he is a son of a noble family, and how can he not defeat a humble martial artist.
It's a pity that if you have a noble status and can control everything, then there will be no people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in this world.
"Although that Yan thief comes from a poor family, he is very good at using despicable and insidious methods. As noble people in our family, if we only fight against him in the right way, we will inevitably suffer some losses." Sima Yi sighed.
"Then if we always suffer losses, when will we defeat Yan Liang?" Sima Zhao asked in confusion.
Before his father could speak, Master Sima said sternly: "Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. Righteousness represents God's will. Although we suffered a temporary loss, justice will overwhelm evil sooner or later, and the Yan thief will definitely be defeated by my father.
"
What a good thing!
At such a young age, his son could actually express such a generous and righteous truth. He was indeed extremely talented and intelligent. How could Sima Yi not be delighted?
Sima Yi nodded and said: "What Shi'er said is absolutely true. Since ancient times, evil has never suppressed good. Our Dajin represents the right way, God's will, and the people's aspiration in the world. As long as we uphold the right way, sooner or later, we will be able to win."
You can defeat Yan Liang, a cruel man who is accustomed to doing evil things."
When Sima Yi taught his son these words, he spoke them with great righteousness, and his generous mood made it seem like he really represented the right way and God's will.
"Yes! If evil does not prevail against good, our Jin Dynasty will definitely win!" The two little boys were completely infected by their father's majesty, and their little eyes were filled with admiration.
Sima Yi stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression showing greatness and majesty, enjoying the admiration of his sons, and his mood was so happy.
At this moment, the imperial sergeant came over and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Xianbei has sent back an urgent report."
"There is a reply so soon." Sima Yi cheered up and said calmly with his hands behind his hands: "Then how many Xianbei cavalry does Tuoba Liwei plan to lead to serve the king?"
Sima Yi's words were extremely confident, as if he had expected that the Xianbei people would agree to lend troops to him.
"Your Majesty, the urgent report states that although Tuoba Liwei was granted the title of Ce, he did not send troops south to attack King Qin. Instead, he led his troops to attack Xianbei in the central region."
A muffled thunder struck from the sky.
All Sima Yi's calmness was shaken away, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face that was originally occupied by the word "righteous way".
The two little ones, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, were both confused and surprised when they saw their father suddenly lose his composure.
Sima Yi suddenly felt embarrassed after losing his majestic image in front of his son, but at this time, he couldn't care less and grabbed the urgent report and looked at it carefully.
Sima Yi became angrier and more frightened as he looked at it. He suddenly tore the emergency report in his hand into pieces.
"You're such a weak Tuoba, I'm suffering here, but you took the opportunity to make a profit, it's hateful, it's hateful~~" Sima Yi gritted his teeth with hatred, and his calm image was completely gone.
In the eyes of the two brothers, Master Sima, their father's majestic image was greatly reduced.
…
Yuci City.
After Yan Liang led his army to leave Yangyi City, he did not go to besiege Jinyang City. Instead, he moved his troops to Yuci City in the east of Jinyang City.
After setting up camp, Yan Liang sent Zhang Ren and 10,000 troops to march eastward to attack Jingxing Pass in the east.
Among all the trails in Taihang, only Jingxing Road is the smoothest. This time Sima Yi sent his younger brother Sima Fu with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard this pass, blocking the Chu army from attacking Bingzhou from Jizhong.
Jingxing Pass is extremely dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to capture it just by attacking from Jidong.
But things are different now. Yan Liang has entered the Taiyuan Basin, but he can divide his troops to attack from the west and attack Jingxing from the east and west.
Once this road is opened, Yan Liang will have a smoother food road. Even if the rainy season comes, his food and grass can barely survive.
Sima Yi wanted to hold Jinyang until Yan Liang ran out of food, but Yan Liang found another way, causing Sima Yi's plan to fail.
"Your Majesty, this is good news." Xu Shu held the parchment in his hand and walked into the royal tent excitedly.
Yan Liang smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi is so excited, could it be that there is good news on the grassland?"
"That's right." Xu Shu nodded fiercely and said excitedly: "There was news from outside the Great Wall that Tuoba Liwei accepted Sima Yi's offer as the pseudo-King of Wei, but instead of sending troops south to Jinyang, he mobilized all his troops to attack the central part.
Xianbei, all of this is in our plan."
It’s really good news!
The Xianbei people are killing each other. Let me see who else can help Sima Yi, the wolf, to tide over the difficulties.
Yan Liang sneered, waved his hand and said: "The Xianbei wild dogs are good at killing each other. I will watch them kill each other. According to my decree, Kebi Neng will be released as soon as possible. I will make them dog bite dog and bite them until I am dead."
Jin Kingdom, go and deal with them yourself until now!"
