Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 527 Collusion
Four heads were placed in front of them. Even though they had been processed, they still smelled filthy.

Fu Jian's face trembled slightly.

Di Qin has captured all the forces around him, and it will be a matter of time before he collides head-on with Liang Guo.

"King of Heaven, calm down. Lord Liang is provoking our army to march eastward. King of Heaven must not fall into the trap." His younger brother Fu Rong cupped his hands and said.

At this time, he was the only one who dared to say a few words.

Looking at Fu Rong's jade-like face, the anger in Fu Jian's heart quickly subsided, "Master Liang ordered me to go to the King of Heaven and send the protons. Where will he put me, Da Qin? In fact, Da Qin can call him here and there? I have the power of mountains and rivers. It's dangerous, even if they have millions of troops, what can they do to me?"

"It is exactly what the King of Heaven said. However, Guanzhong is exhausted and there is no food in the treasury. At this time, it is not appropriate to turn against him. If you can, continue to delay. When the swords are about to meet, it will be another matter." Quan Yi followed Yao Xiang. Traveling around, my mind has become much more mature.

"My younger brother thought that he could not let Liang Guo rest in peace, but should stir up surrounding forces and consume its national power. Guanzhong implemented the strategy of cutting down the armor and suspending the army. In just three years, Liang Guo will be unafraid."

Although Fu Rong was young, he was not lacking in knowledge, insight, and strategies. He was a leader among the Fu family's children. He was expected to be the assistant of the Taiwan government even before he lost his crown. As he grew older, his reputation became higher and he was trusted by both the government and the public.

When Fu Jian was alive, he regarded him as his own son and once said: "I will become my son Jishan's master."

Comparable to the previous sages who are talented but unwilling to serve as officials in troubled times.

"The State of Yan was driven back to Liaodong, and the State of Jin was afraid of its power. Besides me, who else in the world dares to compete with the State of Liang?" Fu Jian looked proud.

Fu Rong waved his long sleeves and said with a lively expression, "Afraid of its power, rather than sincerely surrendering. According to my brother's opinion, Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Chui both have ambitions, and they border the Qin Dynasty. Now Liang is the only strong country. How can we not be afraid of the two? Taiyuan is the strategic point of the world. If Da Qin wants to defend Pu Ban Tong Pass, it must first consolidate Taiyuan!"

Liang and Qin struggled, and Taiyuan was the first to bear the brunt.

Murong Chui has [-] elite men under his command, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

The significance of Bingzhou to Guanzhong is not only an important place for defense, but also a frontier for attack.

"The former Murong Chui assisted Liang Guo and attacked me. How could Feng Yi surrender to me today?" Fu Jian had a bad impression of Murong Chui, Tuoba and even Yijian. Murong Chui was considered a man of his word, but Tuoba Shi Yijian is capricious.

Fu Rong said: "Now and then, there is no need for him to surrender. We only need to support him to fight against Liang for a few years. The fertile fields in Guanzhong are thousands of miles away, and the soldiers are strong. After a few years of training, he can become a tripartite force."

Quan Yi Nianxu said with a smile: "What Yang Ping Gong said is true. Liang is just a strong middle-class cadre. Guandong is a place of hundreds of battles, and strong enemies from all directions are watching. The only thing you rely on is military strength. If the king of heaven can defeat him once, his strength will not survive. And powerful enemies are coming from all directions!"

Fu Jian's eyes lit up, "Yes, Lord Liang relies on his sword. That sword is sharp, but my sword is not at a disadvantage!"

Less than four years after taking office, Fu Jian first destroyed Qiuchi, then annexed Liangzhou, and then merged with Hanzhong. His troops were so powerful that even Huan Wen was afraid of him and voluntarily gave up to Shuzhong.

In Fu Jian's eyes, his martial arts skills were not inferior to those of Emperor Liang.

Since the time of Fu Hong, the Di people have been fighting in the south and north, and the tribe has cultivated a large number of elite soldiers and generals. With their help, they have fought their way out of nine-death crises several times, and finally occupied Guanzhong.

With such a glorious past, how could Fu Jian not be arrogant and want to decide the outcome with Liang Guo?

"In this case, we should immediately send an envoy to make friends with Murong Chui and Tuoba Shi Yijian, and Yecheng will delay as much as possible." Fu Rong cupped his hands and said.

"Jiangdong can also send envoys to make good friends with Huan Wen and the two families will stop fighting." Quan Yi said quickly.

Although Shuzhong was captured, there was only a bare city. All the food and grass for the soldiers and people in the city were taken away. There were bandits and bandits everywhere outside the city. They ignored Di Qin's recruitment and often led more than a thousand people to attack the county town.

It was fine for the bandits to ignore Di Qin. Even the powerful men in Shu did not pay attention to Di Qin. They closed the gate of Wubao and lived their own lives. Fu Jian had no temper at all.

If troops are sent to attack, it will arouse the hostility of the powerful people in Shu, and they may not be able to win in the short term. The Qin army is all barbarians in the north, not accustomed to the soil and water of Shu, and is extremely susceptible to epidemics.

For a long time, the Di Qin army needed to allocate food from Guanzhong, and the gain outweighed the loss.For Di Qin, Shuzhong was no longer useless, but a quagmire.

If you want to restore the Kingdom of Abundance, you need to move in a large number of people and spend more than ten years governing it...

The gate of Shuzhong was still firmly in the hands of the Jin army, which forced Fu Jian to mobilize troops to guard the captured city, and it was impossible to manage it carefully.

Others dared to underestimate the Jin army, but Fu Jian did not. Huan Wen's Northern Expedition almost killed the Fu family.

"If I seize him from Shu, will he shake hands with me and make peace?" Fu Jian never forgot that Fu Xiong died from a crossbow arrow wound by the Jin army.

Quan Yi said: "The three kingdoms need an alliance between Wu and Shu. In the past, the feud between Xiaoting and Shu can be put aside. The situation dictates that Huan Wen, a great man, will definitely know the pros and cons."

Taiyuan, Jinyang City.

Murong Chui once again faced a major decision.

The conditions offered by Fu Jian were very generous. Murong Chui didn't need to do anything. As long as he disobeyed Liang's orders, he would get secret support from Qin.

Fu Jian was even willing to become brothers with Murong Chui.

But the more you give now, the more you will pay back in the future.

There is no doubt that the Liang-Qin War is about to begin. Just like Liu Yao and Shi Le back then, after driving the Jin people to Jiangdong, they immediately turned against each other and turned their weapons against each other.

There are no two days in the sky, no two masters among the people, and there can only be one overlord in the Northern Kingdom.

Murong Chui was squeezed in the middle, occupying a strategic position and unable to escape.

"Master Qin is quite sincere, so you might as well make friends secretly to prepare for future dangers!" Lan Jian suggested.

Murong Chui seemed not to have heard his words, and his thoughts drifted back to the scene two years ago when he led Baiqi into Ye and received the warm hospitality of the Liang Lord.

"General..." Lan Han reminded dissatisfiedly.

Murong Chui first glanced at Gao Bi, his right-hand man, and then said: "Back then, Zhang Ping took over Bingzhou, armed with more than [-] soldiers, and had the most elite soldiers and fierce generals. Where is he now?"

Zhang Ping was much stronger than Murong Chui. He was caught between Liang Yan and tried to have both sides, but was eventually defeated and captured, becoming the canary in Liang's cage.

"This..." Lan Jian was speechless for a moment.

Today, the Liang Kingdom is stronger than it was back then, and the trick of playing both sides can no longer continue.

Gao Bi said: "Fu Jian's intention is just to use our army as pawns to hold back the beam. How can he try his best? In my opinion, although Fu Jian has great ambitions, he is definitely not the enemy of the Liang Lord. He sent troops to Hanzhong and Shuzhong in vain. It consumes national power and the gain outweighs the loss.”

"What if Lord Liang orders our army to be the vanguard to attack Guanzhong?" Lan Jian asked in return.

"The way of using troops is ever-changing, how can we stick to the rules? When the day comes, we will have our own solution." Gao Bi said confidently.

The first two times Liang Zhu ordered to harass Feng Yi and plunder Henan, he didn't do much fighting, but he gained a lot.

Liang Guo ate meat, and Murong Chui could drink a sip of soup, so the army did not object to working for Liang Guo.

The mutual trust established by the two sides has formed a tacit understanding. Now it is extremely risky to turn around and fall into the arms of Di Qin.
