Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 644 I cheated

Soon, the Jiankang court received Huan Wen's request for the Northern Expedition.

It is more like a military order than a memorial.

This memorial is more effective than the edict of the Jiangdong court and can be passed directly through large areas of Jin.

Of course, Huan Wen was just informing the court.

Emperor Sima Pi was yawning on the imperial couch. He liked to practice grain-breaking bait medicine in order to seek immortality, but he did not seek immortality. Instead, he took too many pills and his body collapsed. At the age of about twenty years old, he was Looking sick and sick,

However, no one in the court opened their eyes to look at him. He was originally the emperor elected by various forces. It didn't matter whether he was wise or stupid. He had no real power anyway.

"Huan Wen is using the name of the Northern Expedition to consume the Beifu army!" Sima Yu's brows formed the word "Chuan".

The internal infighting in Jiangdong has never stopped.

The pressure to not only fight Huan Wen but also to suppress the local tycoons in Jiangdong who were ready to make a move was huge.

"Huh, Huan Wen hasn't become the emperor yet, so why should he be there at his beck and call? Hefei is as solid as iron and stone, how can it be so easy to conquer? Back then, Sun Quan couldn't attack Hefei six times, which was a waste of national power. Even if Hefei was conquered, Shouchun and Pengcheng would still be behind him. !”

As soon as Wang Tanzhi said this, he suddenly felt that his words were a bit disrespectful. This was in the court hall, and the emperor was still sitting on it.

But no one, including the emperor, felt anything was wrong.

"If the Beifu army has three strengths and two weaknesses, who can check Huan Wen in the future?" Wang Biaozhi held his hands towards the emperor Sima Pi on the imperial couch, but his body was facing Sima Yu.

Sima Pi yawned again, leaned on the bench and took a nap with his eyes closed.

"The Liang State's national strength has not yet been restored, and it is using troops to seize the right. This is called a military and aggressive campaign. The Northern Expedition is inevitable, and we cannot resist the general trend."

Xie An still understood the truth. Huan Wen was in charge of the Grand Sima, and was in charge of all domestic and foreign military affairs. The dispatch of troops and generals was within the scope of his responsibilities.

If the imperial court refuses to obstruct, but is placed in a disadvantageous situation and criticized by others, more people will be pushed to Huan Wen's command.

"Is this the end of the Beifu Army?" Sima Yu had wrinkles on his face.

The Beifu Army belongs to both the Xie family and the Sima family.

If Hefei could fight, Huan Wen would have pounced on them long ago. How could it be their turn?

Xie An said slowly: "The Northern Expedition does not necessarily mean attacking Hefei. I will go to Dongguan in person and state my interests to Da Sima face to face. The success of the Northern Expedition will be of great benefit to the court and Da Sima."

Wang Biaozhi and Wang Tanzhi's eyes lit up, and the wrinkles on Sima Yu's face relaxed. No one who could sit here was a loser, and they quickly understood Xie An's intention.

With a "dang" sound, Sima Pi tilted down from the chair, and the crown fell off to the ground. He didn't pick it up, but lay down and fell asleep, letting out a gentle snore.

Several people looked at each other, their expressions still calm...

Longyou.

Of course Yao Chang still had the strength to fight. In fact, he took the initiative to shrink his troops and concentrate the Qiang people in Nan'an and Anding counties.

Nan'an Wubao is in a group, located on the upper reaches of the Wei River, overlooking the entire Longyou. The stability of Xiaoguan is strong, guarding the throat of Guanzhong and Liangzhou. They are all strategic locations.

Although Longxi and Tianshui were lost, it also slowed down the Liang army's offensive.

"There is a severe drought in the two states of Qin and Liang. The Liang army has nothing to plunder and the army has nothing to eat. They will retreat in a few months. You don't have to worry." Yao Chang has experienced strong winds and waves, but it is just a small scene now.

"Our army has 70,000 troops, why should we fear Fu Ya and Murong Chui's 40,000 to 50,000 troops?" Yao Yisheng was very dissatisfied.

Several other Qiang chiefs also started shouting.

Di Bozhi cupped his hands and said, "Liang Jun is short of food, and our army doesn't have much food either."

Yao Chang returned to Longyou and raised his arms. Qiang people from far and near came to rely on him. There were nearly 100,000 households, all looking forward to following Yao Chang to eat meat and drink soup.

Yao Chang glanced at Di Bozhi with his slanted eyes, and curled up a smile, "Lack of food has its own way, no need to worry too much, secure the city and fort, and when Liang Jun is out of food and grass, he can take advantage of the situation to cover it up." .”    For many forces these days, food has never been a problem.

The Qiang people brought all kinds of livestock with them. After the livestock were eaten, there were other ways.

Several people glanced at each other, and they all understood without making a fuss. Those who could follow Yao Chang to this day are all loyal people.

"Report to Your Highness, Fu Ya has sent a letter of persuasion to surrender!" the guard shouted from outside.

"No matter what, we will not surrender to the Liang Kingdom and become servants and slaves!" Di Bozhi looked determined.

"Never surrender, fight to the bitter end!" Although the Qiang people were a little poorer in the northwest, their bones became hardened after being drunk by the northwest wind.

Yao Chang laughed, "Let's see what Fu Ya means."

Opening the letter of persuasion to surrender, there are more than a thousand words, from the general trend of the world to the orthodoxy of China, it can be summed up in one sentence: You, Yao Chang, are in a desperate situation. Rather than die together, it is better to surrender to the beams, let the Qiang people integrate into China, and the Yao family can continue their incense. .

Yao Chang took the surrender letter and walked out of the tower with his hands behind his hands, looking at the looming Wubao among the mountains and rivers in the southwest.

Liang Jun was blocked from these forts.

Liang Guo was different from Di Qin. Fu Jian was a tolerant man, but he had great ambitions and little talent, and he neglected internal management. Yao Chang was able to be where he is today because Fu Jian gave him a chance.

If you surrender to the Liang Kingdom, you will no longer be able to lead the Qiang tribe. You will only be a rich man in Luoyang from now on.

How could Yao Chang be reconciled to this?

Several generations of the Yao family worked hard to return to Guanyou, but Yao Chang would never surrender until the last step.

"Send the order, this king is willing to surrender to Daliang!"

"General!"

"King Qin!"

The Qiang chiefs were so dissatisfied that they were about to surrender without even fighting a tough battle?

"Yao Chang, don't forget the ambitions of your father and brother!" Someone simply called him by his name, holding a knife and slashing at the wooden pillar like crazy, causing sawdust to fly.

The other Qiang people were infected by his emotions and looked at Yao Chang with contempt.

However, Yao Chang had a very calm expression on his face. He looked at the crowd and chuckled, "Soldiers are deceitful!"

Then he walked slowly to the Qiang chief whom he called by his first name. He was white-haired and about sixty years old. He had some friendship with Yao Yizhong and had many similarities in personality with Yao Yizhong.

At that time, Yao Yizhong could not stop criticizing Shihu for his faults, and he was very upright.

"I dare not forget my father's and brother's aspirations for a day, but then——"

With a "clang" sound, the long sword at the waist was suddenly pulled out, turning into a ray of cold light. From then on, it passed by the person's neck. Before he could react, the person's head had already fallen to the ground.

The surrounding Qiang chiefs took a few steps back in surprise and looked at Yao Chang in surprise, their eyes full of vigilance and fear.

"However, anyone who dares to disrespect this king is the same person!"

Yao Chang called himself "King of Qin for Ten Thousand Years", but few Qiang chiefs took him seriously and often called him by his first name.

Now that a powerful enemy is approaching, the Qiang people do not want to be slaves and are desperate. This is the best opportunity to establish rules. Otherwise, no one will dare to question them and no military order will be implemented.

"You should take this as a warning." Yao Chang flicked his long sword and shook off a few blood drops on it. With his pleasant look, no one dared to look up...
