Chapter 283

[At the time when Song and Wei troops gathered on both sides of the Yellow River, and the war was about to break out, Xia Guojun He Lianding sent envoys to Jiankang, and made an appointment with Liu Song to destroy Wei and divide Hebei: the east of Hengshan belongs to Song, To the West belongs to Xia.

Hearing that Xia Guo, the defeated general, was about to move again and uttered wild words beyond his control, Tuoba Tao was furious. Even in the face of the persuasion of his officials and the threat of soldiers from the Southern Dynasty, he still made a seemingly angry move: "Control the soldiers and attack Xia!"]

[The reason why Tuoba Tao insisted on attacking Xia regardless of the opinions of the officials actually came from Cui Hao's analysis: "Liu Yilong and Helian Ding are just bluffing, and no one dares to send troops first.

When Liu Yilong sent troops, I once thought that the Song army would divide into two groups after arriving in Henan: one crossed the river from the middle reaches of the Yellow River to attack Yecheng; the other crossed the river from Qingzhou to Jizhou.If this is done, His Majesty should immediately go to Hebei to resist the Song army.

However, looking at the Song army now, they actually set up defenses along the Yellow River, with a defense line of more than two thousand miles, and the troops stationed at each place were no more than a few thousand.

From this point of view, Liu Yilong is really weak and incompetent. He really wants to keep the river on his own, and has no intention of advancing Hebei at all.

Therefore, His Majesty can not deal with the Song army for the time being, but first completely wipe out He Lianding, the defeated general who is entrenched in Guanzhong, and then go east out of Tongguan, then everything north of the Huaihe River will be owned by our Great Wei! "]

"Cui Hao's grasp of people's hearts is simply terrifying."

"It's a headache to be against such a person, isn't it?"

"In front of him, I felt that Liu Yilong seemed to have no clothes on. Cui Hao saw him up and down, inside and out."

[In September, Tuoba Tao arrived in Tongwan City, and immediately ordered to attack Pingliang.

As a result, there was basically no suspense. The Wei army under the command of Tuoba Tao won several games in a row, and the Xia army ran away with their heads in their arms.

Xia Zhu He Lianding had no choice but to flee to Shanggu, but was captured alive by Tuyuhun the following year and sent to Pingcheng to kill him!
Soon, Guanzhong became the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty again.

When Tuoba Tao conquered Xia, the Hebei garrison of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to fight across the river in winter according to the original counterattack plan.

In October, An Jie, the champion general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, crossed the river to attack Jinyong, and Du Ji, the Song army guard who was stationed there, was about to abandon the city and flee.

However, he was afraid of being punished for retreating because he did not fight, so he lied to Yao Shufu, a famous brave general of the Song Army stationed in Luoshui, saying: "Jinyong City is extremely strong. May the general lead the army to resist the Wei army together with me."

But when Yao Shuofu led his army to Jinyong, he saw the dilapidated city walls and soldiers who had no fighting spirit. Seeing that he was deceived and the city was impossible to defend, Yao Shuofu led the army to retreat, and Du Ji in the city also abandoned him. Go south of the city. 】

[Liu Yilong listened to Du Ji's one-sided words, and ordered Yao Shufu to be executed.This kind of self-defeating arm drama will be repeated again and again in the Southern Dynasties.

Not long after Jinyong City was broken, Luoyang and Hulao fell one after another.

Anjie's army gradually approached the slippery platform. As the commander-in-chief of the Song army, Dao Yanzhi, who was in Dongping, responded by withdrawing his troops. 】

[Naturally, the Northern Wei Dynasty refused to let go of the opportunity of pursuit, so it fought several battles with Liu Song, and the front of the soldiers even approached Jiankang, the capital of Liu Song.

However, Tuoba Tao had returned to Pingcheng at this time. Due to the flooding of the Yellow River, there were disaster victims all over the river. Tuoba Tao then ordered the Wei army not to continue to pursue south, thus bringing the war to an end.

So far, Liu Song's first Northern Expedition has completely failed. 】

[In the fifth year of Taiyan in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 439), Tuoba Tao started the final battle to unify the north.

Tuoba Tao called a group of ministers to hold a meeting to discuss the matter of conquering Beiliang.

But just like the situation before the war with Xia, Song, and Rouran, the officials still did not agree to send troops. It has to be said that this group of people has long lost the spirit of forging ahead and only wants to nest in their own one-acre three-point land , guarding the family wealth to live.

Of course, Cui Hao was not included in this group of people. 】

[Cui Hao has been busy with two things under the order of Tuoba Tao these years: the revision of the national book and the legal order.

In this meeting, Tuoba Tao had asked Cui Hao's opinion in private.

Cui Hao said: we should send troops to Guzang to attack Juqu Mujian.

Last year's crusade against Rouran involved 30 horses. In fact, the number of casualties was only [-], but after the news spread, it turned into a heavy loss.

We can just use this rumor to surprise Beiliang!

If the enemy is caught off guard and terrified, our army will definitely be defeated, and our army will definitely be able to destroy Beiliang in one battle! 】

[With Cui Hao's preliminaries, at the meeting, Tuoba Tao has a lot of confidence.

However, the ministers from Xi Jin down all said that Beiliang had no obvious rebellious actions, and that the army was going on an expedition, Beiliang was firmly guarding the city, and the country's rear was empty, and it was a dangerous road. They all advised Tuoba Tao not to send troops.

Li Shun, who had been to Beiliang many times as an envoy, also said: "From the west of Wenyu River to Guzang, the capital of Beiliang, there are only stones and no water plants. Moreover, there is thick snow on the mountains south of Guzang City, and there will be snow in spring and summer. melted into a river.

If our army reaches the city and Beiliang blocks the river course, there will be no water source within a hundred miles of Guzang City, and it will be difficult to besiege the city for a long time under the hunger and thirst of the troops. "

But Cui Hao retorted: ""Han Shu·Geography" says that 'Liangzhou's livestock are the best of the world'. If there is no water and grass, how can the livestock be scattered? Also, the Han people will never build cities without water and grass, and build counties. Also. And when the snow disappears, it can only collect dust, so how can we get through the canal to irrigate! This statement is very deceitful and false."

Li Shun did not give up, and said again: "It is better to hear than to see, and I have tasted and seen, how can we argue together?"

Cui Hao did not show any weakness, and directly pointed out the fundamental reason why Li Shun stopped Faliang: "You received money from others, and you want to lobby for it, saying that I can deceive evil if I don't see it!"

It can be said that Cui Hao directly poked Li Shun's lungs, and Li Shun finally didn't dare to say anything.

When Tuoba Tao heard this, he severely criticized the ministers and announced his decision—to send troops! 】

"Cui Hao is bringing disaster on himself by doing this!"

"Cui Hao is good at planning the country, but not good at planning himself!"

"Has talent, but lacks some speaking skills. I seem to have seen Cui Hao who is excluded by everyone."

[Summer, May, Ding Chou, Wei presided over the army in the western suburbs; June, Jiachen, sent Pingcheng. 】

[Tuoba Tao personally thought that after Prince Tuobahuang stayed in Pingcheng, he personally led the army to go straight to Guzang.

When he got to the city, what he saw was just like what Cui Hao said about the abundance of water and grass. "Beyond the east and west gates of the city, the springs merged with the north of the city. It was as big as a river. It flowed into the desert from other ditches, and there was no dry land in between." He hated Li Shun's previous deception even more.

When Juqu Mujian was still immersed in Rouran Khan's bragging, he saw the Wei army approaching the city.

Wang Muqian of Hexi heard that there was Wei Shi, and he was shocked and said: "What is Naier!"

Then Mu Jian adopted the plan of Zuo Cheng Yao Dingguo, defending the city to the death, and at the same time asked Yu Rouran for help.

But they still couldn't wait for the rescue of Rouran's army, so they had to go out of the city and surrender in the end.

In fact, it wasn't that Rouran didn't send troops, but that Juqu Mujian was defeated too quickly.

Tuobatao arrived in Guzang in August, and Juqu Mujian surrendered in September. Rouran originally adopted the strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" and attacked Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The news broke, so they had no choice but to retreat. 】

[After pacifying Rouran, the Northern Wei Dynasty pacified Beiyan and Beiliang, and finally became the overlord of the north, confronting Liu Song in the south.

This period was called "Northern and Southern Dynasties" by later generations.

As the emperor, Tuoba Tao naturally hoped that his martial arts and martial arts were the best in the world.

Now that he has completely pacified the north, his martial arts are already hard to come by. What is urgently needed now is Wenzhi, so the person who comes to do Wenzhi Kungfu is naturally Cui Hao, the head of civil servants.

After Cui Hao accepted the appointment of Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, he decided to do one thing, that is, to revise the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Regarding Cui Hao's decision, Emperor Taiwu thought there was nothing wrong with it. After all, the country's history is unclear and it is difficult for the world to convince the public.

To do a good job in national history is naturally the rule of culture first, so Emperor Taiwu agreed with Cui Hao's move.

Unexpectedly, after the compilation of the national history, it attracted a lot of discussion from all over the world]
