The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1240 Forced to return to the teacher
Tuoba Liwei hurriedly summoned Tuoba Xilu, who had entered Liaodong, back to his division. The Tuoba tribe had reached a critical juncture of life and death, and they no longer cared about chasing the remnants of Xianbei in the east.

But this trip to Liaodong is thousands of miles away, and it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth. By the time Tuoba Xilu knows that the Xianbei tribe is in danger, it is already Xia Wuyue.

After Tuoba Xilu entered Liaodong, he chased after him all the way. Although the Murong, Yuwen, and Duan troops hugged together, they were only about half of Tuoba's army in number, and their morale was even worse. It's impossible to say, like a bereaved dog, in constant fear, they didn't have the guts to fight Tuoba army at all, they could only flee all the way in embarrassment.

"It seems that Tuoba Liwei is determined to destroy us this time. If we run away like this, when will it end?" Yuwen Pubo lamented.

After fleeing for more than a month, the troops of the three clans were already exhausted, and all three clans were defeated in occasional battles. The non-combat attrition alone also lost at least [-]% of the troops, plus the hot weather and unacceptable climate, Food is scarce, and this endless escape road is really hopeless.

Murong Xin's face was pale, he is the eldest son of the Murong family, how could he have suffered so much, the crime he suffered in this month is probably more than his lifetime, so what if he doesn't run away, if it falls into the hands of the Tuoba people , I am afraid that the death will be even worse.

"We have to think of a way. If we continue to escape like this, we will end up with a dead end."

Duan Qizhen said at this time: "When I was in Liaodong, I had the honor to meet King Meichuan of Goguryeo. King Meichuan is generous and generous. Why don't we lead our troops to invest in him and try to make a comeback?"

Murong Tuyuhun was a little puzzled and said: "Didn't it mean that Goguryeo was defeated by the state of Wei 30 years ago, and even the Ducheng Maru was destroyed? Even if there are still remnants of Goguryeo, I'm afraid I don't know where they fled. How? to find it?"

Duan Qizhen laughed and said: "This happened many years ago. Back then, the army of Wei State indeed defeated Goguryeo and broke through Wandu City, but King Dongchuan led his troops to flee to Baishan Heishui. The Wei people had no choice but to do so. In the end, they could only withdraw their troops. After King Meichuan ascended the throne, Goguryeo made a comeback, not only rebuilt Wandu City, but also frequently attacked Liaodong, Xuantu, Lelang and other places. Now Goguryeo is the tyrant of Liaodong.”

Murong Xianbei and other tribes have been active in the west of Youzhou and Liaoxi. Don't look at the geographical proximity of Liaoxi and Liaodong, but they are far apart. At that time, communication was inconvenient and news was blocked. Naturally, they could not get news from Liaodong, but Duanbu Xianbei's activity area was relatively small. The language is relatively large, and sometimes it will set foot in the Xuantu area of ​​Liaodong, so it still knows more about the situation in Goguryeo than the Murong Department and the Yuwen Department.

What they lack now is a foothold. Being chased away by the Tuoba tribe, they will die sooner or later. When they heard that there is Goguryeo to take refuge in, the eyes of the Murong brothers and Yuwen Pubo suddenly brightened, and they all said: "Yes. Such a good place, brother Duan, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Immediately, they packed up their soldiers and horses and headed towards Wandu.

The movements of the three tribes in the east can't be hidden from Tuoba Xilu who has been chasing closely. Hearing the news that they are going to Wandu, Tuoba Xilu sneered and said: "They actually want to seek refuge in Goguryeo? Humph, That’s right, if Goguryeo dares to take them in, they will be wiped out together.”

Tuoba Xilu entered Liaodong under the order of Tuoba Liwei this time, not only to chase down the remnants of Xianbei in the east, but also to annex Liaodong. , Invading Liaodong, Tuoba Liwei of course refused to let Liaodong belong to Goguryeo. This time Tuoba Xilu was ordered to enter Liaodong, which obviously meant to compete with Goguryeo.

Tuoba Xilu was even more ambitious, wanting to flatten Liaodong in one fell swoop and complete Tuoba Xianbei's true unification of northern Xinjiang.

Hearing the news that the three Eastern Xianbei tribes defected to Goguryeo, Tuoba Xilu was not angry but happy, thinking that this time was the best chance to completely wipe out the remnants of Goguryeo and Eastern Xianbei.

But just as Tuoba Xilu was about to send his troops to the east, the urgent document from Mobei reached Liaodong. Tuoba Xilu was shocked when he saw his father's handwritten letter. He didn't expect that he would only leave the Mobei grassland After many months, there will be a shocking change there.

This sudden attack by the Han army completely disrupted Tuoba Xianbei's strategic deployment. Tuoba Liwei adopted the usual method of dealing with the Central Plains dynasty. Externally, he made good friends with hypocrisy, but internally he suppressed it with iron and blood He once thought that the current Ji Han Dynasty would be the same as the other Central Plains dynasties, that is, people will not offend me, and I will not offend others. Since Tuoba Xianbei did not provoke Ji Han, presumably Ji Han's army will not be without reason sent troops against him.

But this time he was wrong, completely wrong, Liu Yin didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, and it was true that Tuoba Xianbei had never invaded the Central Plains, but this was not a reason for Liu Yin not to attack him.

The previous Central Plains dynasties were eager to make peace with the northern nomads, and even used the royal princess to marry them in exchange for safety on the border. to attack people.

As for the struggle between these barbarians, the Central Plains Dynasty was even more happy to see the success, clapping their hands and applauding, wishing that they would fight to the death, and there would be a way to stop the war between them.

But Liu Yin is different. This military operation is completely planned by him for a long time, including the internal fighting among the tribes of Xianbei, which is completely within Liu Yin's plan. When it is time to act, Liu Yin will not Hesitate a little.

Who stipulated that the Central Plains Dynasty would think of fighting back only when it was hurt?Liu Yin's initiative to attack this time is to change the practice of fighting back only after being beaten. He has to act first and take advantage of the civil strife among the Xianbei people to completely wipe out the last one of the five Hus in one fell swoop. It's a one-pot stew, and it really solves the forces that threaten the Han Dynasty.

Liaodong could not stay, and Koguryo could not be defeated. Nothing was as important as being taken away from the old nest. On the day Tuoba Xilu received the letter, he ordered the army to set up camp and go back to the west of Liaoning.

Tuoba Xilu walked very hastily, galloping almost all the way, traveling more than [-] miles a day, when he stepped onto Yiwulu Mountain, he was slightly relieved.

But Tuoba Xilu didn't expect that he was destined not to go back.
