Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 706 Alliance

Danhan Mountain is located more than 300 miles north of Bingzhou and belongs to the remaining branch of the Yinshan Mountains.

During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tanshihuai set up his royal court on the Jieqiu River in Danhan Mountain, watching over the Central Plains.

In the past two years, Tuoba Shi Yijian was unable to ride a horse because his body had become increasingly fat, so he specially built a large cart, like a small moving palace, pulled by twenty-four white horses.

In the car, there are all kinds of fine wines and beauties.

"This Pu Tao wine is bland and tasteless, but that guy Li Yue actually likes to drink it so much." Tuoba Shi Yijian spat out the Pu Tao wine.

"Hahaha, Li Yue is no more than a mountain bandit. He took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to get what he is today. How can he be compared with his father?" The eldest son Tuoba Shijun grinned.

"What my son said is true." Tuoba Shi Yijian was very satisfied with his son's flattery.

"The Liang Lord defeated Jingxiang in less than a month. The Black Cloud Army's combat power has increased a lot. Father, please don't be careless. Danhan Mountain is very close to the Central Plains." said the third son Tuoba Han.

"We have a hundred thousand people riding here, what are we afraid of what he will do? If the Black Cloud Army doesn't come out, it will be besieged by our army!" Tuoba Shijun said disdainfully.

The last time Dou Feng sent troops to Mobei, he was defeated by the army led by Tuoba Shijun, which greatly boosted the morale of the Xianbei tribes.

This was the first time since the Liang Dynasty had turned against each other that Dai had taken advantage.

"That's enough. There's nothing wrong with being careful. It's a pity that Huan Wen was defeated too quickly this time, otherwise we would have been able to retake Yun Dai." Tuoba Shi Yijian sighed.

He grew up in Daijun and Yunzhong and regarded Bingzhou as his hometown for a long time.

This time the king came to Tanhan Mountain not only to intimidate Liang Guo, but also to prove his determination to the tribes.

Tuoba Shi Yijian relied on confronting Liang Guo and absorbed many Yi and Di tribes.

China has Chinese orthodoxy, and Yi Di also has the inheritance of Yi Di.

"Since Lord Liang has returned to the army, we cannot stay here for a long time. I suggest you return to Mobei immediately." Yanfeng cupped his hands and said.

Although they had some advantages, the strength gap between the two sides was too big.

Dai Guo did not have the strength to challenge Liang Guo head-on.

The one he defeated last time was just a little-known general. He was besieged by several times the number of troops and was broken through by the Black Cloud Army. He suffered more casualties than the enemy.

Tuoba Shi Yijian nodded, "Sir, you are right. Children like Li Yue should not be looked down upon."

"Your Highness, an envoy from the Liang Kingdom has arrived!" the guard shouted outside the tent.

"Huh?" Tuoba Shi Yijian was stunned.

The two countries have not exchanged envoys for many years.

Everyone else also looked surprised.

"Let him in." Yanfeng reacted first.

Not long after, an envoy came in with his head held high, "Zheng Lin, the envoy of the State of Liang, pays homage to the king."

Tuoba Shi Yijian raised his eyelids and said, "You and I are irreconcilable, why are you here today?"

Zheng Lin said: "I came here to stop fighting between the two families and restore old friendship."

"Oh, hahaha..."

Tuoba Shi Yijian laughed so hard that he fell forward and back, the fat on his body rippling like waves.

Others in the tent also laughed.

After he finished laughing, Tuoba Shiyi Jian said: "Your family has occupied my homeland, slaughtered my Xianbei people, and driven me to the bitter cold land of Mobei. Do you still have the nerve to ask for peace today?"

This kind of mess can never be cleared up, and Zheng Lin has no excuse, "At this moment, the other moment, although His Highness abandoned the Yun Dynasty, he still dominated Mobei, and his territory and strength were comparable to those of Tanshihuai. The peace between the Liang Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty would benefit both sides. If there are two evils, Your Majesty is willing to make an alliance with His Highness, form a superior and inferior kingdom, and enter into an alliance. From now on, we will never attack each other. What do you think of Your Highness?"

Tuoba Shijun said: "Who is superior and who is inferior?" Zheng Lin chuckled and said, "It's a natural beam."

"Presumptuous!" Tuoba Shijun's eyes widened.

Tuoba Shi Yijian was surprisingly calm, "Li Yue really wants to form an alliance with me?"

"If Your Highness is willing, we can make an alliance in the clouds. From now on, the two countries will have their own borders."

"Let us discuss this matter. Your Excellency has been tired from the journey, so please rest for a while." Yan Feng said politely.

Zheng Lin surrendered.

"Liang Thief actually wants to form an alliance with me?" Tuoba Shi Yijian's eyes flashed fiercely.

This is an opportunity. If Li Yue can be killed during the alliance, the Central Plains will be in chaos, and the opportunity for Dai will come.

"Master Liang is as cunning as a fox and as ferocious as a wolf. How has he been tricked by anyone since he came down from the mountain?" Yanfeng poured a basin of cold water on him.

Tuoba Shijun said in a rough voice: "Then why do we need to form an alliance?"

Yanfeng took a few steps with his hands behind his back, thinking carefully.

Although he was resourceful, he was still inferior to Wang Meng. He could not see the deeper meaning behind it. He could only speculate based on the current situation, "In the past two years, Liang Guo first sent troops to the Western Regions, and then conquered Jingxiang. The army was so aggressive that the food and grass must be insufficient, and he was unable to do so. If we continue to argue with His Highness, this is a delaying tactic, intended to delay our army and give Liang a chance to recuperate."

Yanfeng saw through Wang Meng's first intention.

"That's right!" Tuoba Shi Yijian's eyes lit up, "He can't deal with me, so he came to ask for peace!"

Lord Tuoba Shi said: "The Liang thieves are nothing more than that. In my opinion, it is better to go south directly and attack the land of Youdai."

Yan Feng shook his head, "The time has not come yet, and our army does not have the strength to attack the two places. According to my opinion, since Liang Guo wants something from me, it is better to take the opportunity to ask for Yunzhong and Daijun. Liang Guo's thoughts will be known in one try." .”

Since Liang Guo is unwilling to fight, he will naturally have to pay the price.

Unknowingly, the monarchs and ministers of Dai Guo have fallen into the trap set by Wang Meng.

In recent years, the Daiguo cavalry has continued to move south, causing chaos in the border areas.

Yanfeng encouraged the barbarians in the north to rebel, which was quite effective. It restrained some of the energy of Liang State, and Liang State was also plagued by internal and external troubles.

"Can Liang Guo really return Yunzhong and Daijun?" Tuoba Shi Yijian looked forward to it, but soon sighed, "I know the nature of Li Yue, how can I spit out what he has eaten? "

Yan Feng said: "Of course the Liang Kingdom will not return Yunzhong and Daijun, but it can reassure them. Then His Highness can attack east and west, attack Hetao, drive his troops south, invade Liangzhou, and obtain the response of the tribes in Liangzhou."

Seventy percent of Liang's livestock were concentrated in these two places.

If Dai Guo can occupy it, its strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and the key is to be able to coordinate with Tiefu, Helan and other troops. ,

The tribes in the three states of Yong, Qin, and Liang did not sincerely submit to the Liang State, but were coerced by the Liang State with weapons.

"Chaos in Liangzhou will lead to chaos in Guanzhong, and chaos in Guanzhong will make Liang Guo exhausted. We must not let Liang Guo recuperate now." Yan Feng said lightly.

Since Liang Guo showed signs of fatigue and was unwilling to fight, Dai Guo would risk his life.

This is a set of logic that couldn't be simpler.

Tuoba Shi Yijian had endured it for so many years and was pressed to the ground and rubbed, and he had long wanted to take revenge.

Moreover, Hetao and Liangzhou have become extremely wealthy in the past two years, and Tuoba Shiyijian has been coveting them for a long time.

In these years, the country was prosperous on the grassland and its strength continued to grow. The wounds of the past had long since healed, and Tuoba Shi Yijian's ambitions were also expanding.

"When the Liang thieves captured our Yunzhong and Dai counties, I had already warned that I was at odds with the Liang thieves. Now that the Liang thieves are exhausted, it's an opportunity to use our troops!"
