After Tuoba Liwei made the decision, he began to make preparations.
First, he sent someone to inform his father-in-law, Dou Bin, the leader of the Luhui tribe, that Kebineng had ushered in Bu Dugen's tribe and his power had increased greatly. He was worried that his tribe would conflict with it and would find an excuse to attack. The tribe's women, children, cattle, sheep and property were all moved to Luo County on the west side.
He himself carefully selected a thousand confidant warriors and went to kill Hukou to ambush him.
But before he set out, he discovered that the tribesmen who had been sent to Luoyang to present secrets and were responsible for guiding the Wei soldiers and horses to attack Kebineng came quietly with Wei's envoys.
The envoy has a very noble status. He is the actual person in charge of the expedition against Kebineng, Qin Lang!
He was also the only fake son of Wei Wu who was admitted into the Cao Wei clan without changing his surname.
Tuoba Liwei naturally found it incredible that such a person came here alone in disguise to meet with a mere leader of the Xianbei tribe who was dependent on someone else.
In fact, even Qin Lang himself found it incredible.
When he and Xia Houru led the army to Taiyuan County in Bingzhou, Emperor Cao Rui sent someone to deliver the edict.
Let him act as an envoy to find Tuoba Liwei.
Because Great Sima Cao Zhen wants to fight!
At the end of June, Cao Zhen knew that Han Yin Fortress had been captured by the Han army.
At that time, when he learned about this military situation, his face was full of disbelief.
Or is it that any general who has seen the Manyin City Fortress cannot believe that a dangerous pass with 5,000 garrison soldiers inside and 8,000 cavalry guarding the outside was actually captured?
But whether he wanted to or not, in the face of the facts, he finally accepted the bitter consequences.
He could no longer sit back and watch as Ni Shu gradually encroached on Wei's territory, and could no longer bear the conflicting opinions of the Dukes of Luoyang and Gungun, which made him restrained every time he faced battle, unable to carry out his own plans for the sake of the so-called overall situation.
right!
Originally, he had a chance to pin down Ni Shu in Hanzhong County!
In his strategy, he has always believed that if he wants to drive Ni Shu back to Hanzhong, he can only use his own strengths to attack his weaknesses!
Fight with it for national strength!
Fight with it for the foundation of war!
Nishu, which had long since declined, could not bear the losses of the war!
In the end, he had to give up Longyou and return to Bashu to cultivate his health.
Other than that, there is no other choice.
But the princes of the imperial court never thought so.
For example, when Ni Shu first captured Longyou, he planned to lead the army into Wudu County. However, Luoyang's decision was to use the Battle of Shiting as an excuse to lure the Xianbei Tufa tribe into Guanzhong Youfufeng.
For example, he devoted all his strength in Guanzhong to attack Hanzhong County. However, due to the outbreak of the Xiaoguan epidemic and heavy rains in the Qinling Valley, the meat-eaters in Luoyang persuaded Emperor Cao Rui to issue an edict to stop the army. Instead, he condoned the separatism of the powerful families in the four counties of Hexi, claiming that it was "People on one side govern the other side"!
The fighter jet slowly disappeared.
As the delay became longer and longer, Ni Shu also gained a firm foothold in Longyou, consolidating people's hearts.
Although, with his strategy of competing for national strength, he may not necessarily be able to defeat Ni Shu.
But as long as it is carried out, as long as he destroys Ni Shu's war background, there will be no consequences like losing the Yin Sai today.
Cao Zhen knew why his strategy was not implemented smoothly.
In the eyes of the Gungun princes, who were dominated by the powerful families in Guandong, as long as the three assistants in Guanzhong were still there, their interests would not be harmed, and Liangzhou's gains and losses would not matter.
Wei's interests are not their interests.
This is the result of the Wei Wen Cao Pi, who chose to release power and compromise with powerful families in order to appease the local areas during the time when the world was not at peace. Now, in just over ten years, these people have begun to push their limits and harm the country for their own benefit. !
A bunch of greedy bastards!
The great rat of the country!
Cao Zhen was furious when he learned about the military situation, and for the first time he drew his sword and chopped the case into pieces.
It was also the first time that my long-gray beard was stained with blood.
He had been suffering from ailments for several years, and suddenly he was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of fishy, sweet and red blood.
This incident allowed him to regain his composure.
Everything is already done, and it is useless to be angry.
After sitting alone all night, he went to Luoyang to report the war to the Luoyang court. The report did not mention any strategic intentions or countermeasures.
Instead, he privately sent the imperial physician Cheng who was with him back and asked him to forward the private message to Emperor Cao Rui.
Imperial Doctor Cheng is the deputy position of the imperial physician.
It was Cao Rui who favored an important member of the clan and specially sent him to take care of the elderly and sick Cao Zhen.
In a private message, he asked Emperor Cao Rui to support him in fighting with all his strength, the sooner the better.
First, he carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Han and Wei, as well as the selfish motives of Luoyang officials, and then said that if we don't compete with Ni Shu for national power, it will be too late to regret it in the future.
At the end, he added another sentence.
say:
"Old minister, I don't have much time left. I want to repay His Majesty's kindness. If I can see Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen under the Nine Springs without feeling ashamed, this is the only way to fight!"
Cao Rui was moved by Dan's sincerity in asking for his body to be wrapped in horse leather.
He was very young when he succeeded to the throne, so Wei Wen and Cao Pi left him four ministers who took care of his life.
Among them, the one who was closest to him was Cao Zhen.
Not only because of Cao Zhen's clan status, but also because in the first few years after the transition between the old and new emperors, Cao Zhen stayed in Luoyang to help him stabilize the situation.
In addition, the imperial physician Cheng who was sent back carefully and cryptically claimed that Cao Zhen's physical condition might not be able to support him for a few years. After that, Cao Rui made a decision.
First, he agreed to Cao Zhen's request and asked him to dispatch troops and horses to arrange the expedition.
Subsequently, a very strong order was given to the states and counties outside the war zone to mobilize grain and supplies to Guanzhong. In response to the eight hundred miles emergency, Qin Lang was ordered to rush to Dingxiang County as an envoy to immediately go to Dingxiang County to find Tuoba Liwei for a meeting.
If you want Cao Zhen to fight against Shu without any distractions, you must first ensure the stability of the northern border counties.
Kebineng, who has repeatedly committed crimes, must not be left behind!
Cao Rui also knew how difficult it was to kill the Xianbei masters in the central part of the country on the grassland.
Unless other Xianbei tribe leaders help.
Therefore, Tuoba Liwei, the leader of Suo's head who had always shown favor to Wei, became Cao Rui's first choice.
Although Cao Rui had lived in the hinterland of the Central Plains for a long time, he also aspired to civil and martial arts, so he was no stranger to the Xianbei tribes in northern Xinjiang.
He knew Tuoba Liwei's current situation, and he was confident that he would be willing to risk the accusations of other Xianbei tribes and kill Kebineng for Wei.
Because Cao Rui is willing to pay a very generous amount of chips.
A temptation that no Xianbei tribe leader can refuse!
Taking the Hengshan Mountains where Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou is as the boundary, Ke Bineng is in the northern territory of Yanmen County. The Sanggan River Valley can be given to him by the Wei State! Moreover, if he is besieged by other Xianbei tribes because of his execution of Ke Bineng, Wei's garrison in Bingzhou is willing to fight alongside him and protect him!
In other words, Cao Rui doesn't mind making Tuoba Liwei the second Kebineng!
Moreover, in order to ensure the success of the conspiracy between the two parties and not delay the execution of Ke Bineng, Cao Rui also granted Qin Lang the right to act expediently during the meeting.
He claimed that if Tuoba Liwei was not interested in Sanggan Valley, he could still make his own request.
As long as he is willing to ambush Ke Bineng and does not ask for more than the grant of Sanggan River Valley, Qin Lang can use his power to grant it to Cao Rui at his discretion.
At that time, Qin Lang couldn't help but be speechless after receiving this edict.
From this, we can understand the determination of Emperor Cao Rui to support Grand Sima Cao Zhen in conquering Shu.
Therefore, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately used the guide on the head of the rope to lead the way. Without even taking any followers, he rushed to Dingxiang County to look for Tuoba Liwei.
When they met, he didn't talk too much.
He went straight to the point and asked, "We, the State of Wei, want the heads of the traitor Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen. I wonder how Chief Tuoba can be willing to contribute to our State of Wei?"
Tuoba Liwei was immediately stunned.
Immediately, my heart was filled with joy.
He had just made up his mind and wanted to use Ke Bineng's head as a sign of sincerity to gain the support of the Wei State. The Wei State took the initiative to send envoys to see him.
Moreover, he also knows Qin Lang's identity.
Since he personally acted as the envoy, it was enough to prove Wei's sincerity.
However, when discussing cooperation matters, he will not throw out his cards all at once.
He tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and after taking a deep breath, he pretended to have a troubled expression on his face and said, "Wei is a big country, and now your envoy has stooped to come, which makes me shake my head with fear." , you should also obey orders. However, that Kebineng is a great man from Xianbei in the central part of the country, and is well-liked by the leaders of various tribes."
"Chief, there is no need to say anything else."
But before he finished speaking, Qin Lang waved his hand and interrupted with an impatient expression, "When I came here, the army that was attacking the traitor Ke Bineng passed through Taiyuan County and should have entered Yanmen County to rest and recuperate. At most ten days, It’s time to go out to Yanmen Pass to kill the thieves. Time is running out. If the leader wants anything, just ask him directly. Don’t miss the opportunity to get the support of the Wei State because of hesitation! Furthermore, I came to look for the leader today because I thought of the leader and his family. We, the State of Wei, have always been friendly to each other! If the leader does not dare to be an enemy of the traitor Ke, just say so. Don't delay me in finding your uncle, Chief Dou of the Luhui tribe, to discuss the matter."
Hearing this, Tuoba Li remained slightly silent.
As Qin Lang said, in Dingxiang County, the Wei State was not an option for him to kill.
His father-in-law, Dou Bin of the Luhui tribe, was much stronger than him.
Moreover, he also knew that as long as the Wei State paid enough chips, Dou Bin would definitely lead the army in person to kill Hu Kou and ambush him.
What ethnic group interests are, they are just in name.
On the grassland, attacking and annexing each other is the unchanging melody. Only when one's own tribe is strong can one be truly powerful.
Therefore, after thinking silently for a moment, he bluntly stated what he wanted.
He was willing to lead an army to ambush Kebineng and Bu Dugen.
As long as Wei Guo is willing to give Suo a thousand armors for his head, three thousand ring-headed swords, and ten thousand arrow clusters after the completion of the matter.
Following the trend, he also spelled out the follow-up.
After he killed Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, the leaders of the Xianbei tribe here might not allow him to thrive here out of jealousy or other motives.
Therefore, he asked the State of Wei to lend a helping hand appropriately and help him move his tribe to the northern part of Beidi County, which Wei State had abandoned.
As long as his tribe reaches the northern part of Beidi County, they will definitely remember Wei's kindness and be willing to serve as a barrier for Wei's three assistants in Guanzhong. They will also send troops to kill the Xianbei Bald Tribe, Begging Tribe, and the Gufu Tribe who rebelled against Wei. Hu Bo, the leader of the Xiongnu security guard in Wei State, held the post.
After Qin Lang heard this, he agreed without hesitation and acted cheaply.
In other words, the conditions proposed by Tuoba Liwei were lighter than the bargaining chip that Emperor Cao Rui originally agreed to.
After all, if Suotou stayed in the Sanggan River Valley, with the support of the Wei State, they would definitely become the largest tribe in Xianbei in the future. But after migrating to the west of the Hetao Plain, no one is sure what their future fate will be.
Moreover, Tuoba Liwei also promised to fight against rebellion for Wei.
This alone was enough to offset the ordnance he asked for.
The benefits each obtained drove Xia, so that the two parties could quickly negotiate and make an alliance by blood on the spot.
Summer, mid-July.
The Wei State, with Xia Houru and Qin Lang as generals, led more than 8,000 elite cavalry and two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, each with one person and two horses, and left Yanmen Pass and headed straight for Pingcheng.
Kebineng's defense was very lax.
Because of the campaign against the Liaodong army, they were able to return to the territory of Jizhou.
A few months ago, he ambushed and killed the troops of Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, so he thought that Wei would not attack in a short time.
It just so happened that the Wei State had the Suotou tribe who was familiar with the terrain and the reality of the Kebineng tribe as a guide. As the situation increased, the Wei State's elite cavalry army marched to the outside of Pingcheng, and Kebineng and Bu Dugen were surprised.
They were caught off guard, and the nomadic tribes did not have the habit of living in the city, so the Wei army marched in as soon as they arrived. When Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen gathered their direct relatives, the small tribes attached to the periphery of Pingcheng were already there. Frightened to death.
In a cavalry battle between two armies, the one with the upper hand will be unstoppable.
The people of Kebineng's tribe had no time to speed up their war horses, and they could not resist the sudden attack of Wei's horses.
Moreover, Xia Houru, who personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to break into the formation, kept looking at Kebineng's flag and pursued him, leaving Kebineng with no time to coordinate the various battles.
So it collapses at the first touch.
The battle had just begun, and it turned into a cover-up for Wei's victory.
Following the nomadic tribe's tactics of "cover when they win, and avoid when they lose", Kebineng and Bu Dugen abandoned Pingcheng and the small tribes on the outskirts, and fled to Yunzhong County with their direct lineage headquarters.
In Yunzhong County and Mobei, Kebineng, who has accumulated power for a long time, still has many die-hard fans.
As long as he successfully escapes, he can come back again and take back Pingcheng.
Just like the last time he was defeated by Tian Yu and Qianzhao.
But it's a pity that he has no chance.
When he led his tribe to kill Hu Kou, Tuoba Liwei, who had been lying in wait for a long time, suddenly came out.
Even in his wildest dreams, Kebi never imagined that someone would dare to come and rob and kill the man who had already vaguely dominated Monan and made all the Xianbei tribe leaders look up to him.
Therefore, his ending is doomed.
The people of this tribe who were attacked this time were like frightened birds, running like wolves or hogs, and fled suddenly.
He and Budugen were covered in countless arrows, and the man and horse fell to the ground like agouti.
Xieguini, who had the blood of Tanshihuai, was allowed to live by clinging to Suo's head; Daihu Alangni, the leader of the Budugen tribe, was the first to surrender when he saw something was not going well.
In other words, Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, the two grassland owl leaders, used their own lives to exterminate tribesmen to inject nutrients into Suo's head, making Tuoba Liwei the new grassland owl leader.
After the war, he moved to the northern counties. No one can say whether he brought any accident to the conflict between Han and Wei.
But everyone knows that with the strength of Xianbei Bald, Qifu and Hu Bo Juzhi of the Huns, they can't hinder his rise.
