witch chaotic country

Chapter 481

The king of Beiliang, Juqu Mengxun, who had been covering up his edge and even taking the initiative to surrender to Liu Song, had a big appetite after his rise.

I don't know if Tan Yaoyu's "Ten Years of National Fortune" gave him inexplicable confidence. After swallowing half of the territory of Western Qin, he actually coveted the other half.

Juqu Mengxun sent envoys to Qiuchi, hoping to send troops at the same time as Qiuchi, attacking Xiqin from both directions, and carve up the remaining land of Xiqin after winning.

Liang Weng sent away the envoy from Beiliang on the grounds that Immortal Fairy was preaching abroad and needed to wait for her to come back before making a decision.Immediately afterwards, he sent a message to Yao Yu.

Liang Weng's letter not only conveyed Juqu Mengxun's intention of alliance, but also reminded Tan Yaoyu that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.Once Xiqin is gone, the next thing Beiliang will erode is Qiuchi.

When Tan Yaoyu received the news, Xie Huilian had just been recognized by Princess Jinling as her grandson.Now that the foundations of Xingzhelou and Qiuchi are not stable, it is absolutely impossible to raise troops.But she really wanted to take this opportunity to bite off a piece of Xiqin's flesh.After all, this kind of opportunity to slaughter at will is really rare.

Tan invited Yu to think about it, and wrote back to Liang Weng: Send people to Xiqin to spread the news that Northern Liang and Northern Wei will jointly attack Xiqin.Encouraging the West Qin people, instead of being slaughtered and made slaves, it is better to flee to Qiuchi and ask for the protection of Xianji.

Now Tan Yaoyu is short of people, Zhu's business needs someone to take care of him, and Qiu Chi also needs to expand his army.In this era of melee among nations, population is a more precious resource than land.

Last year, the Northern Wei Dynasty slaughtered a resisting city in the war against the Xia Dynasty.It's a pity not to borrow this frightening reputation.It is estimated that without Liang Weng fanning the flames, some people in West Qin will believe it.

But in fact, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not dare to go west easily now.Because the Rouran people who caused the most headaches in the Northern Wei Dynasty have recently started to move around again.

Tuoba Tao probably also sensed the gradually revealed ambition of the King of Beiliang, and in the end it was Queen Helianke who gave him an idea.A reward for the captured former Emperor Xia He Lianchang.

Speaking of the two brothers and sisters, He Lianchang and He Lianke, they have been living in fear since they came to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although He Lianke is a queen, a few months ago, even the maid in the palace could bully her.Later, the Empress Dowager pointed Qiao Nu into her palace, and He Lianke, the empress, gradually took on some appearance.

But even though she has been calmed down by Qiao Nu now, when she heard Qiao Nu say that she should ask her elder brother to ask for a seal, He Lianke was so shocked that she even trembled when she spoke.

"Your Majesty only wants me to be a good-looking puppet. If I ask you to be named for elder brother, Your Majesty will definitely hate me, and it will be difficult for me to survive."

Qiao Nu asked blankly: "Could it be possible that the queen thinks that His Majesty likes you now? Instead of being tortured to death in the palace so slowly, don't you want to fight hard?"

Helianke's beautiful face was full of sadness, "Fight? Why should I fight? What else is worth fighting for?"

During this period of time, Tuoba Tao's indifference towards her has already made He Lianke disheartened. If there was any hope for Tuoba Tao before, now there is no hope left.

If Helian Ke didn't spare her life, she would have committed suicide long ago.

Qiao Nu was not surprised that Helian Ke would be so desperate.She knows very well how many people this deep palace can drive crazy.She calmly said: "Women in the palace, the fight to the end is not for His Majesty's favor, nor for the concubine's respected post, but to sit on the Empress Dowager's seat, so that you don't have to look at people's faces and make a small low."

"You!" He Lianke was shocked, "How dare you say such a thing?!"

He Lianke was the queen, and the queen became the queen mother, but she cursed Tuoba Tao to die early in disguise.

Miss Qiao didn't care, "Your Majesty has been fighting for years, and every battle must be fought personally. He always likes to charge forward. Now that the crown prince has been established, you are the queen of the palace. Have you really never thought about this?"

Helen Ke didn't dare to answer.Of course she did.Tuoba Tao was seriously injured in the last battle against Xia Dynasty last time, and he still can't open his bow even now.Who can guarantee that he will never have an accident?
"If Your Majesty is gone," Qiao Nu continued, "Do you think you can really deter other Xianbei nobles and Han clans in the court just by virtue of your status as the subjugated princess? You need someone to help you in the court. And your Brother is the perfect candidate."

He Lianke shook his head desperately, "Brother threw this palace to Emperor Wei like a plaything back then. Why should I help him?! Besides, Your Majesty is not stupid. I'm afraid that His Majesty will understand this selfishness of this palace at a glance. .”

Qiao Nu said indifferently: "In normal times, if the queen made such a request, it would definitely be regarded as satisfying her own selfish desires. But it is not the case now."

He Lianke asked strangely, "What's the difference now?"

Although Qiao Nu saw everyone with a bad face and looked very difficult to get along with, she still patiently explained to He Lianke at this time, "The new king of Xiqin was placed under house arrest in Beiliang before. In order to succeed to the throne smoothly, , ceded nearly half of the country to Beiliang.

If Beiliang continues to grow stronger, it will threaten the status of Wei.But now His Majesty intends to use troops against Rouran, wanting to kill the weeds.It is absolutely impossible to send troops to Beiliang in a short time.

If His Majesty rewarded the former Emperor Xia at this time, and treated him extremely favorably, what do you think the king of West Qin who only loves pleasure would think? "

He Lianke was not too stupid after all, hesitantly said: "You mean to use my elder brother as a bait to lure the ruler of the Western Qin Kingdom to surrender?"

Qiao Nu nodded, but she didn't show any relief because He Lianke figured it out, "That's right. If Xiqin surrenders", His Majesty would be equivalent to not mobilizing a single soldier, and put a root on Beiliang's pillow. nail.I mean, does the queen understand? "

Of course Helianke understood.She was just surprised that the usually unsmiling woman Qiao not only knew everything about palace affairs, but she could even talk about state affairs so clearly.

"Mr. Qiao..." Obviously she is the master and Mrs. Qiao is the servant, but He Lianke is a little afraid of her, "Why do you keep helping me?"

Miss Qiao still had the same face of Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, "Since the Empress Dowager pointed the servant girl to the empress, the maid will only recover when the queen mother is well. Does the empress think it's wrong?"

right?Helen Ke didn't know.Joe's words didn't sound wrong.If Qiao Nu was originally serving other concubines, He Lianke might have to worry about whether Qiao Nu was a spy sent by another palace.

But Empress Dowager Dou is the only transcendent existence in this harem.She doesn't need to please anyone or win over anyone.So Nv Qiao, who was sent by Queen Mother Dou, can naturally be trusted.

It's just that for some reason, Miss Qiao always has the aura of a superior person.Even He Lianke, who used to be a princess and is now a queen, can't compare to her.

He Lianke thought about it alone for several days, finally gritted his teeth, and decided to take a gamble according to Qiao's teaching.

　People are not greedy, but what they want is always beyond their ability.After all, what is within the ability can be obtained directly.What is beyond the ability will become "want".
