Jiang Wu rubbed his chin:
"There were signs of unrest in Tuyuhun at the beginning of the year, but now that it is May and June, it may be even worse. Should we take a trip into this muddy water?"
Ru Yuan said:
"Now there is Tuyuhun and Gaochang Kingdom to the west. The current king of Gaochang Kingdom - Qu Gangu, the throne is not very secure. I don't know what changes will happen in the future. Furthermore, compared with Dazhou, Gaochang is too weak. , cannot deter Dazhou, but Tuyuhun is different. Tuyuhun is not only powerful, but also has a good relationship with us. With such a powerful alliance, we will not be alone when facing Dazhou, so Tuyuhun , we have to help, otherwise our lips will die and our teeth will be cold."
Everyone felt that what Ru Yuan said was reasonable. The Kunyu Kingdom and Tuyuhun were complementary to each other. The Zhou Dynasty attacked Tuyuhun this time. If they couldn't save the troops, they groped around and defeated Tuyuhun. Then they turned around and attacked the Kunyu Kingdom. No matter how powerful the Kunyu Kingdom was, facing the Great Zhou During the week, I still felt a little short of breath.
Ning Yan said:
"I think Master Ru is right. Then, we will contact Kua Lu and prepare to send troops to help him."
On the one hand, he wrote to Kua Lu to express his willingness to help him, and on the other hand, he also collected supplies and prepared to send troops.
After the development of Kunyu State from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present, the national strength is strong, taxes and levies are reasonable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The court also grasps the dynamics of public opinion and creates an atmosphere of positive service to the country. Therefore, if the court issues anything that requires the people's investment and efforts, the people will They are generally quite positive.
Especially when it comes to fighting, I want to go and see it, and come back to tell others what tricks Master Zhuo has used to persecute people again.
Ning Yan was dumbfounded by this, and said to Xun impatiently:
"If Auntie Huang intends to rebel, all the people in the country will definitely follow Master Zhuo, if for no other reason than to see with their own eyes how Master Zhuo can cause trouble."
Hyun was so frightened that she almost choked to death on a mouthful of water, but instead made Ning Yanxiao crawl on the table.
Therefore, the imperial court posted a notice saying that it would prepare for war to help Tuyuhun. The people actively paid the collected items and even chatted with the soldiers responsible for collecting them from time to time:
"Will Lord Zhuo go on an expedition this time?"
"Where is Lord Zhuo guarding?"
"When will Mr. Zhuo set off?"
Etc., the soldiers didn't know the specific arrangements, so they were stunned when asked, so they had to be vague and prevaricated.
The soldiers guarding the border between Tuyuhun and Kunyu Kingdom naturally got the news faster than Kua Lu.
In modern times, from Qinghai Lake to the border of Qinghai and Gansu, if you drive faster and don't be sluggish on the road, you can easily make a single trip in one day. However, in ancient times, even if horses were used to convey messages, it was still a long way from Qinghai Lake to the border of Qinghai and Gansu. , it would take several days to travel back and forth, so the soldiers knew that Kunyu State wanted to help Kua Lu, but they did not know what the current situation was in Fuqi City. Although they sent people back to report, they were still in a wait-and-see state.
Kunyu State was actively preparing for war, and Zhou Dynasty was not idle either.
Yu Wenyong knew that the Kunyu Kingdom had a good relationship with Tuyuhun. In order to attack Tuyuhun, the Kunyu Kingdom must be stabilized first. However, how to stabilize it? Those people in the court of the Kunyu Kingdom are all good people. Among the core members, If we are united, there will be no intrigues, and there will be no place for any dirty tricks to be devised.
After thinking about it, Yu Wenyong decided to use troops to suppress the border of Kunyu Kingdom, so urgent reports from various border gates of Kunyu Kingdom were laid in front of Ning Yan.
Ning Yan was shocked:
"What?! The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are approaching?! Are they going to fight Tuguhun or us?"
Immediately mobilize troops and generals to support various border passes. No matter whether the Zhou Dynasty is attacking Tuyuhun or Kunyu, they must be prepared just in case. In this way, the troops will be scattered, which will further show the lack of troops. Where is there any ability to help? Kua Lu.
Ning Yan sighed:
"It seems that Kua Lu has no choice but to ask for blessings this time."
If Dazhou wants to attack Tuyuhun, he must either borrow a road from Kunyu Kingdom, or go around from the south of Kunyu Kingdom. Borrowing a road is obviously impossible. Not only is Ning Yan wary of Yu Wenyong, but also relying on the relationship between Kunyu Kingdom and Tuyuhun , Yu Wenyong was also wary of Ning Yan. Yu Wenyong was also worried that the army that entered Kunyu Kingdom through the road would not be able to get out again, so he could only go around from the south of Kunyu Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that Nanguan has become a top priority.
Ning Yan sent Ning Yu, Le Zhengyuan, Jiang Wu, and Xu to guard Nanguan. Those who entered Nanguan with the army were also people who followed the army to watch the excitement. Shi Gu, who was guarding Nanguan, could not help but frown when he saw this scene. Jump twice, turn around and descend the city wall, out of sight and out of mind.
When Yu Wenyong came to Nanguan, he saw that the southern border town of Kunyu Kingdom was very lively. Outside the north gate of the border town, there were many vendors doing business. Although they were not comparable to those in the past, they could not see the possibilities here at all. It will be like going through a battle.
This time, in order to train the crown prince Yu Wen Yun, Yu Wenyong sent Yu Wen Yun to patrol the land on the western border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, led an army to attack Tuyuhun, and granted Yu Wen Yun the power to deal with minority affairs arbitrarily. He was fine. Seeing this scene, He simply stayed in the camp to contain the southern pass of Kunyu Kingdom and sent people to inquire about news about the border town.
When the person who inquired about the information came back, he looked a little bad and hesitated, not knowing how to report to Yu Wenyong.
Yu Wenyong looked at him and said:
"To be honest, Mr. Zhuo is a non-conformist, and I won't be surprised if he does anything out of the ordinary."
The spy coughed lightly and stammered:
"Well, the vendors at the north gate and some people said that they, they, ahem, they came to see the excitement."
Yu Wenyong wondered, is fighting a fun and exciting thing to watch? He said to him:
"Speak more carefully."
The spy took a peek at Yu Wenyong, bit his lip and said:
"They want to see how Master Zhuo... how, how to deal with us."
Yu Wenyong was stunned for a moment and then laughed:
"Do they really believe that Mr. Zhuo can beat Da Zhou?"
After saying this, he suddenly fell silent, and the spies suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
However, Yu Wenyong didn't think of anything else, but the weapons of Kunyu Kingdom. Master Zhuo, who had already made up his mind, thought to himself:
If Kun Yuguo really goes out of his way to fight against Zhou Dynasty, he might really be able to beat us back.
chuckled:
"interesting."
In the blink of an eye, he saw the spy crawling and kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and waved his hand to let him go down.
At this time, good news came from the front. Yuwen Yun had won consecutive battles and was gradually approaching Fuqi City, the royal city of Tuyuhun.
After getting the news, Yu Wenyong was thinking about what to do next:
If Tuyuhun is really conquered, should we attack the Kunyu Kingdom? However, the Kunyu Kingdom is not only a hard bone to chew, but also a rock. If we want to conquer the Kunyu Kingdom, both sides will definitely suffer losses. However, in this way, Wouldn't this give Qi an opportunity to attack Zhou Dynasty?
