Niuchuan, morning, hill.
Tuoba Gui and Liu Yu changed into the clothes of ordinary herdsmen and looked completely inconspicuous. Standing in front of them was Xie Daoyun who also changed into a herdsman's leather robe. In the golden-domed tent in the distance, Tuoba Gui's
The stand-in warrior was pretentiously presiding over the military meeting, while the adults from various ministries were kneeling at his feet. The quarrels and shouts could still be heard clearly even though they were several miles away.
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "They say that prairie men are straightforward and forthright. I have seen it this time."
Tuoba Gui smiled and said: "The wind is strong on the grassland, and people talk a lot. If you don't speak louder, others won't be able to hear what you are saying. Therefore, this can be regarded as our way of talking to make Madam laugh. However, here
, I promise not to use a loud voice like that. I don’t want others to know about our conversation, so I’m sorry, Madam, to come and talk like this.”
Xie Daoyun shook his head calmly: "It doesn't matter, state affairs are the most important thing. I came to the grassland this time. Firstly, I want to bring back Liu Yu. Secondly, I want to cooperate deeply with you, the king."
Tuoba Gui softly said "Oh": "Madam, with all due respect, when you leave, it seems that I have not yet become the king. I hope that the conversation between us will be somewhat sincere."
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "My coming here has fully proved my sincerity. What I said is to cooperate with the king. Before I leave, you have returned to the grassland, and Tuoba Kudu has also returned. No matter which of you becomes the overlord
, even if Liu Xian usurps the throne, he will find someone from the Tuoba family as a puppet to rebuild the Dai Kingdom. Therefore, the one I want to cooperate with is only the Dai King."
Tuoba Gui curled up his lips: "In other words, even if Liu Xian succeeds, you will still cooperate with him?"
Xie Daoyun said calmly: "Of course, because he is Murong Chui's enemy, this is enough."
Tuoba Gui sneered and said: "Madam, it seems that the person who guided you to the grassland and told you Liu Aqian's location was Murong Chui. He should be your friend. Why do you want to cooperate with your friend's enemy?"
A hint of hatred flashed in Xie Daoyun's eyes: "Murong Chui and his Yan State are our biggest enemies in the Jin Dynasty now, and they are also the mortal enemies of our Xie family. Cooperation with them ended long before our Northern Expedition.
This time it was not us who took the initiative to find him, but he just wanted to find Murong Lan and use us again. I also followed the trend and took what we needed. Just because I didn’t want to cooperate with him anymore, when we crossed the territory of Yan State,
, without notifying him."
Tuoba Gui sighed: "But Murong Chui must also know this very well. What he wants is Murong Lan, so for him, maybe killing Liu Aqian and you all is the best result."
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "Look, don't we have a common goal now? Your Highness, if you want to become the overlord of the grassland, you must become an enemy of Murong Chui's Houyan Kingdom. This will happen sooner or later, and I'm afraid,
The army he sent to destroy you is already near you."
Tuoba Gui's expression changed: "What does Madam know?"
Xie Daoyun said calmly: "Since the Battle of Yecheng, our Xie family has learned the hard way. The intelligence we did on Murong Chui before was really not enough. We didn't even know that he was secretly carrying out armor, cavalry, and uniforms on the grassland.
There will be a defeat of Wu Qiaoze, so now we use various resources to collect intelligence in the Yan country. Fortunately, Murong Lan is now with Xiaoyu and no longer works for Murong Chui. It is easier than before to spy on the military situation of the Yan country.
a lot of."
Liu Yu sighed: "No wonder Murong Chui is anxious to ask Murong Lan to go back. He probably also realizes that he is suffering a lot in terms of intelligence now. What did Madam find out?"
Xie Daoyun said seriously: "Just two months ago, before you went to the Helan tribe, Zhao Wang Murong Lin, in the name of leading an army to counterattack Goguryeo in the Liaodong region, led 30,000 infantry and cavalry, including 15,000
All armored cavalry set off from Yecheng and headed north. This army made great fanfare all the way, but my spies discovered that after passing Dragon City, although there were still 30,000 troops continuing to advance, they were not the ones that originally set out.
The troops are here.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Dragon City, as an important town outside the Great Wall of the Yan Kingdom, has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. When the army passed through Long City, they used the Dragon City soldiers and horses to go eastward under the original banner, while the armored cavalry troops
But they secretly went north, passed through the Helan tribe, and reached Mobei, which is exactly the same as our original estimate."
Xie Daoyun was a little surprised: "You also know this?"
Tuoba Gui smiled and put his hand on Liu Yu's shoulder, hugged each other, pointed at Liu Yu and said: "Madam, my good Agan, I thought of this the day before yesterday. Murong Chui will never let us go like this.
, Therefore, he will send troops through the Helan tribe, detour to Mobei, and then come from the north to give us a hard blow. If Helan Ne didn't cooperate, why bother leaving the eastern grassland where he had lived for decades to come here?
What about the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain? Aren’t we just going to continue to facilitate the Yan army going south?"
Xie Daoyun sighed: "Since King Dai already knows this, what is the way to deal with it?"
Tuoba Gui curled up his lips: "Now our strength cannot compete with the Yan army, and his move is very powerful. He is coming from the north, and we don't even have a place to escape. To the west are Liu Weichen's Tiefu Xiongnu, and to the west are Liu Weichen's Tiefu Xiongnu.
Donghui has entered the territory of Houyan, and to the south are Liu Xian, Tuoba Kudou, and Murong Yong. They can't be beaten and cannot escape, so the only way is to surrender to the Yan army."
Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "A man can bend and stretch, and the king really understands the righteousness. Originally, I was most worried that you were young and energetic. Due to your face, you would impulsively fight the Yan Kingdom. The Yan army got Rouran and Yan in Mobei.
The Tiele tribes have received supplies, and the soldiers have also been told that the wealth on the grassland for many years has been concentrated in your hands, so now the morale is high and everyone wants to fight. If we really fight, with your current strength, there is no chance of winning."
Tuoba Gui gritted his teeth: "So, I will pretend not to know and continue to attack Liu Xian and Tuoba Kuduo south. When Hou Yan's army appears, I will surrender to them and lead them to attack Liu Xian together. After all, in name only,
Now I am still their vassal."
Xie Daoyun nodded: "Although your idea is good, if it were Murong Chui, he wouldn't accept it. But fortunately, the person leading the army this time is Murong Lin, which gives you a chance."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Why didn't Murong Chui come in person for such an important matter? I'm also curious about this. It is said that this matter on the grassland is related to the future rise and fall of the Yan Kingdom. If I were Murong Chui, I would not lie to others.
Even if it’s his own son.”.m.
