Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 421
If you want to attack the Tiefu tribe from the east of Hedong, you must either cross the river from Puban, or cross Fenyin and go to Xiayang.

It was too easy for Murong Chui to block the Heiyun Army's retreat. Whether he went south to attack Fenyin or crossed the river directly from Xihe County, it was easy.

This is the advantage of Bingzhou.

The backbone of the world, intimidating all directions.

Chang Wei's eyes flashed, "I have a plan that can help the Tuoba clan without costing a single soldier of our army."

Li Yue was overjoyed, he was still reliable, "Please tell me quickly."

"The former Fu Jian sent envoys to the court with great courtesy. If he was asked to take action, he would definitely not refuse."

"Fu Jian?" Li Yue recalled the various grievances he had with Di Qin.

To be honest, the Heiyun Army had some friendship with people from Fu Xiong's group. After all, when Fu Xiong was captured alive by Ran Min, it was Li Yue who fished him back.

After Fu Jian succeeded to the throne, he regarded himself as his nephew and called Li Yue his uncle.

Strictly speaking, there is no deep hatred between the two sides, and both sides act in their own interests.

"Fu Jian is working hard and has great ambitions. He sent troops to Henan, which will benefit him and not harm him at all. As long as His Highness writes a letter, I predict that he will take action. Once Fu Jian takes action, he will be able to see the reality in Guanzhong." Chang Wei stroked his long beard.

Although Fu Jian succeeded to the throne with great fanfare, dragons are like insects, and they still have to show their true results on the battlefield.

This is related to how to get along with Di Qin in the future.

"Yes!" Li Yue nodded in agreement.

It is really out of reach to send troops from Hedong. The key is that if you move on your side, Yan will never stand still.

If he were to fight the Yan State in Henan, Li Yue would not have much confidence even if Heiyun's elite troops came out. Even if he won, the gains would not be worth the losses.

The cost is too great, and the material and manpower for next year's decisive battle will be wasted.

Just like a person clenching his fist and preparing for a strike, once the fist is punched out, the accumulated momentum will be consumed, which is not conducive to next year's decisive battle.

It is best for Fu Jian to take action, which in itself is in Di Qin's interests.

Chang Wei soon wrote a letter in the name of Li Yue, asking Fu Jian to send troops to attack the Tiefu tribe.

After the Battle of Daijun, the two countries of Liang and Yan fell into peace again...

But at this time Chang'an was caught in a fierce controversy.

"Liang Yan's fight has nothing to do with us. When they fought for Yuzhou and last year for Hedong, the Heiyun Army had a lot of our blood on their hands. In my opinion, not only should they not help, but they should also join forces with the Yan State to conquer Guandong. !" The leading general Qiang Wang was the first to disagree.

When he was still in Fangtou, he didn't think much of Black Cloud Mountain.

The Di people, like the Qiang people, have a clear distinction between love and hatred, and they also hold grudges.

Now that both sides have become one country, Qiang Wang still regards Liang as a serious problem.

Prime Minister Fu Fa said: "I feel that not only should we send troops, but we should also concentrate our elite troops to quickly annex the Tiefu tribe!"

"Oh? Why is this?" Fu Jian looked at his brother with interest.

Fu Fa said: "In a time of great strife, the weak prey on the strong. Since King Li succeeded to the throne, he has brought disaster to Guanzhong. The country has declined, the people have been separated, and are surrounded by wolves from all directions. Your Majesty is newly enthroned. He should establish his authority in a battle and frighten Liang Yan!"

After Fu Jian's rebellion was successful, he deposed Fu Sheng as King Li.

Fu Fa was a long-standing and virtuous man. When he rebelled, Fu Jian had the intention of giving up his throne. Although it was just a show, it showed that Fu Fa's reputation was growing.

After being promoted to prime minister, Fu Jian's various ideas were all handled by Fu Fa.

Di Qin flourished, which was partly due to Fu Fa, and its power and prestige in the Qin State grew stronger and stronger.People at that time called him "a man of both literary and military talents, with outstanding magical weapons, capable of hundreds of skills, and capable of traveling thousands of miles".

Lu Polou cupped his hands and said: "I also agree to send troops to annex the Tiefu tribe. It can increase the country's strength and form a good relationship with Dai and Liang. Why not do it?"

Liang Pinglao also nodded and said: "The Tiefu tribe is the weakest among the forces surrounding Da Qin, so we should attack them!"

Fu Jian laughed, "My brother will lead the troops in this battle!"

"Take the order!" Fu Fa handed over his hand.

Di Qin was extremely efficient. Within a few days, [-] elite troops had gathered.

However, when he was about to send troops, Fu Fa suddenly fell ill and died.

Fu Jian rushed to the prime minister's house. There was a lot of traffic and an endless stream of people came to ask questions. They were all tribal chiefs of Di Qin and powerful people from all over the country. Fu Jian looked at the cold corpse on the bed with a complicated expression.

Zuo Pu shot Li Wei and walked behind him and whispered: "The prime minister is long and virtuous, and he is well-respected by people. Your Majesty ordered him to lead his troops into battle. Could it be that he has forgotten the affairs of the previous king?"

"You are so brave..." Fu Jian's face darkened, and he instantly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Li Wei was the cousin of Queen Mother Gou and Fu Jian's cousin, but Fu Fa was not Queen Mother Gou's biological son.

"Your Majesty wants to kill or cut into pieces, but I am willing to suffer the punishment, but I have no second thoughts!" Li Wei was also a powerful man in Guanzhong.

He has a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and touching him is tantamount to declaring war on Queen Mother Gou.

And Queen Mother Gou was indeed thinking about him.

Fu Jian's power came from Fu Xiong, who was also Fu Jian's prime minister and official at that time.

Once Fu Fa gains military power, he will be the same as Fu Xiong. If he wins a great victory, no one in Qin will be able to challenge him.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If things continue like this, it will definitely threaten Fu Jian's status. For the sake of her own son, Queen Mother Gou did something dirty.

Even if Fu Fa doesn't take action, can Fu Fa's sons always be so harmonious?
A great sadness enveloped Fu Jian's heart, "Brother... died because of me."

"Since Your Majesty has the ambition to wipe out the eight wastelands and unify the universe, you must not be benevolent as a woman!" Li Wei's words were also what Empress Dowager Gou was thinking.

Fu Jian's face was full of uncontrollable sadness, and he stared at Li Wei, "Today's world is all about cruelty and violence. Brothers kill each other, brothers kill each other, but they don't know that what the world needs is the kindness of women. I regard the world as All tribes are pure sons, and all tribes must regard me as their father and brother! Only in this way can the feud in the Northern Kingdom be eliminated, all tribes be reconciled, and the hearts of the world will return to me, and the one who wins the hearts of the people will surely win the world!"

"Your Majesty..." Li Wei did not expect that after forcing Fu Fa to be killed, it would backfire.

Although I feel it is inappropriate, I don’t know how to refute it.

"No need to say more, that's it. I don't want this to happen again in the future." Fu Jian has been used to killing, maiming, and violence since he was a child, and he already has his own ideals and beliefs.

It is this belief that has always supported him and become his motivation.

"Wei." Li Wei lowered his head and quietly retreated.

Fu Jian looked at Fu Fa's body and felt sad. He hugged the body and cried bitterly. His lamentations were so sincere that he vomited blood. All the guests in the mansion praised the two brothers for their deep love.

When Fu Xiong suffered an illness and died on the road, Fu Jian also vomited blood after hearing about it...

Later, Fu Jian ordered a funeral in the country, and all Fu Fa's sons were granted the title of Duke of the County. The most distinguished Duke of Donghai was granted to his eldest son Fu Yang, and his second son Fu Fu was granted the title of Duke of Qinghe.

Although Fu Fa has gone, the dispatch of troops to Tie Fu cannot be stopped.

Empress Dowager Gou intentionally or unintentionally hinted that Li Wei should lead the army into battle, but Fu Jian finally sent his trusted veteran Lu Polou to lead the expedition with [-] elite troops...
