Chapter 440 Delay
Marrying with Tuoba Xianbei during this period of time has more advantages than disadvantages.

On the other hand, whether Yanmen can keep it or not depends half on Tuoba Liwei's intentions.

The yanmen are not separated from each other and belong to the Datong Basin. It is difficult to attack Yanmen from the north and the south, but it is easier to attack Yanmen from Daijun.

Of course, it is easier for Daijun not only to attack Yanmen, but also to attack Youzhou and Taiyuan.

Therefore, after the rise of Tuoba Xianbei in history, Pingcheng, the county of Daijun, was used as the capital, and it was changed to Datong in the continuous changes of history.The fall of Jurchen to the Liao Dynasty and the fall of gold to the Mongols all went to Datong first, and Yanjing could not be restored.

The rapid demise of the Ming Dynasty was also because Jiang Yu, the general of Datong, surrendered quickly after Li Zicheng captured Taiyuan.

Even if Tuoba Liwei didn't attack Yanmen, he would borrow Sima Zhao's way, and Yanmen would not be easy to defend.

Under Tuoba Liwei's decades of governance, Tuoba Xianbei has become a climate, holding the leader of the central Xianbei, and becoming an important force on the northern grasslands. Maybe Liangzhou can easily defeat them, but they will never be able to eat them in the short term. So don't turn against it.

"If my son has this intention, I can't ask for it!" Yang Zheng was overjoyed.

Tuoba Desert Khan had a gentle smile on his face, "You and I will be one family from now on. I also hope that the general will release more than [-] captives and tens of thousands of horses and livestock during the First Battle of Daqingshan."

It turns out that he also has his own little Jiujiu in his heart.

Five thousand youths is not a small number for any force.

Especially in grasslands, it is not easy to grow.

Now Liangzhou is not short of these [-] captives, and the looting war in Guanzhong has brought more benefits, and most of them are Han people.

"It's natural. The captives and livestock will be released together. In addition, to show my sincerity in Liangzhou, I will send 3000 bolts of silk brocade, [-] taels of gold and silver, pepper and spices, and a hundred carts of Putao wine to Changchuan!" Yang Zheng was extremely silky road.

Getting more luxury goods in the past will also help corrupt the high-level Xianbei.

It's a pity that Liangzhou doesn't have Wushi powder, otherwise the effect of this thing would be better. Back then Sima Zhao gave him a few carts of Wushi powder, all of which were sold to Shu by Wei Guan.

With Tuoba Xianbei as an ally, the deterrent effect on the Sima family will be even greater.

Tuoba Desert Khan laughed, "The general is indeed a cheerful person."

Yang Zheng also laughed.

A feast for all to enjoy.

Changchuan.

When Tuoba Liwei received the message from Liangzhou, his 80-year-old face relaxed a lot.

The second son, Tuoba Xilu, had a worried expression on his face, "The Sima family wiped out Huainan and is about to conquer Liangzhou in the west. Isn't your lord marrying Yang Zheng at this time, is it not self-inflicted?"

Tuoba Li shook his head slightly, "If you don't marry Yang Zheng now, if the Sima family doesn't come over, Yang Zheng will plot against us first! In the battle of Daqingshan, their [-] cavalry defeated our [-] people. Me, I will have the disaster of exterminating the whole family!"

In the decades since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Han army in the Central Plains has never been defeated by a foreign race.

Xianbei was unified several times, all of which were resolved by Cao Wei.

Back then, Wuhuan was many times stronger than the current Suotou. Wasn't it destroyed by Cao Wei in one battle?

Tuoba Liwei is old, so he sees and thinks a lot.

Therefore, they changed the old strategy of the Xianbei people going south to plunder, actively traded with the Central Plains, restrained the tribe, and gradually grew stronger for decades.

"Yang Zheng, tigers and wolves will devour me instead of turning against each other!" Tuoba Liwei emphasized.

"But what if Sima Clan uses this to kill me in the future?"

Tuoba Li smiled, "Before Liangzhou was destroyed, how could Sima Zhao attack me? What about a woman? Zhuge Dan is still married to the Sima family, so Sima Zhao will still attack him? Your elder brother entered Liangzhou, Now, when you enter Luoyang and make friends with the Sima family, you say that Liangzhou forced you to bully me several times, that Daqingshan destroyed [-] cavalrymen in the first battle, and I had to send my daughter to seek peace, I hope General Sima will forgive me."

It's right and wrong, no one can offend.

Only then did Tuoba Xilu nod his head sincerely, "Father is wise."

Shouchun.

The war had already subsided, but the Huai River flooded to the base of Shouchun City, preventing Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops from retreating quickly.

In this era, gathering hundreds of thousands of troops is not an easy task.

Retiring is not easy either.

Yang Zheng's call made Sima Zhao's forehead bulge again.

He cares more about fame than his father and brother.

Because he has to go farther than his father and brother, that's why he has been setting up benevolent characters to make the world forget the immoral things Sima has done.

Originally, it was very effective, but the flattery among the nobles was pouring in, which made him feel a little intoxicated.

Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, and Wang Rong worked for him one after another. They accepted Zheng Chong in Xingyang, Guo Yu in Taiyuan, Shao Ti in Hebei, and Li Xun in Shangdang as their confidantes. Even Yang Hu, who had always been neutral, gradually moved closer to him.

Sima Zhao's connection with the gentry became closer.

But Yang Zheng's proclamation once again exposed the old background of the Sima family, the ministers without morals, the greedy and cruel, the peers for traitors, the humiliation of the royal family, the failure of the law and discipline, the treachery of righteousness, the barbarians...

These words kept flashing in Sima Zhao's mind.

For a person with the ambition of Yao and Shun hidden in his heart, every word in the call to action hits his vital point.

But then again, people don't care if they get scolded a lot.

It is far less impactful than the first call for action.

In front of outsiders, Sima Zhao still pretended to be furious, "Yang Er is hateful, I swear to destroy his three clans!"

The eyes of everyone in the hall became strange.

This is not easy to answer, because they are also among the ranks of being scolded.

Sima Zhaoxiong's master of guessing, the killing of Zheng Xiaotong left them with lingering fears.

Fortunately, Sima Zhao is also pretending, before the Yi, Yang, and Zheng tribes, of course he must be defeated first, "The bandits in the west are rampant now, and they invaded and harassed Bingzhou, do you have any countermeasures?"

In the Huainan War, Wu State invested 11 horses, and Zhuge Dan had tens of thousands of people.

Sima Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops plus civilian husbands exhausted the power of the Central Plains. The war lasted for a year, and the internal consumption can be imagined.

In fact, in the past two or three years, even if Sima Zhao wanted to overwhelm Yang Zheng, he still had more than enough energy.

Liangzhou is different from Huainan. Huainan is surrounded by the Central Plains on three sides, and Sima Zhao transports food and troops with ease.

Conquering Liangzhou, recruiting soldiers and civilians from thousands of miles away from Qingxu, Yanyu, and transporting grain and grass is definitely not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

"How rampant Ren Xi's thieves are, they only need to hold Chang'an, Tongguan, Linjin, Wuguan and other throats. If they really dare to attack Chang'an, they will kill themselves. Why should the general worry? After a few years, the soldiers recovered , enough food and grass, with the power of the Central Plains, wouldn't it be easy to wipe out Liangzhou?"

In any case, as long as there is a chance to speak, Jia Chong is very active, for fear of falling behind.

Among the gentry present, their family was the weakest.

Xun Xu, Zhong Hui and other Yingchuan soldiers formed a group, Wang Chang, Guo Yu, Pei Xiu and other Bingzhou scholars formed a group, and Jia Chong was caught in it, and they were not welcomed.

In the past two years, the gentry in Shandong have sprung up again. Sima Zhao's heavy use of Wang Xiang, Wang Rong, and Yang Hu is an obvious signal.

This is also a means for Sima Zhao to balance the Yingchuan gentry.

So Jia Chong had to hold Sima Zhao's thigh tighter, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be pushed off the boat.

There is no way, the pressure of competition among the gentry is also great.

Sure enough, after Jia Chong spoke, no one agreed.

It made the scene deserted and embarrassing.

It was Sima Zhao himself who coughed twice, "Gonglu's words are quite in line with the current situation, but this is a slow plan and cannot save the urgent situation."

While speaking, his eyes turned to Zhong Hui.

This is the difference between the Zhong family and the Jia family.

Jia Chong was eager to offer advice, Sima Zhao was lukewarm, Zhong Hui didn't say a word, Sima Zhao took the initiative to ask.

"The urgent thing at the moment is to focus on defense. Order one general to guard Chang'an and one general to guard Taiyuan. If there is no worry in the Central Plains, the world will be worry-free." Zhong Hui said lazily.

In fact, his strategy is similar to Jia Chong's.

But obviously, Sima Zhao paid more attention to it.
