Tuoba Hong saw Li Sande, put down the memorial in his hand, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Li Sande quickly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, news came from Youzhou that General Tuoba Jian went to Jixian to ambush Zhao Shan, but was ambushed and captured by Zhao Shan. Now, General Tuoba is tied to a wooden stake and stands outside the north city of Jixian. Next to the official road."
"The news released by Zhao Shan said that General Tuoba will be executed in one month."
"Four days have passed since the news came out of Youzhou, and we have received the news now, because the sentinel has been sent back in a hurry from eight hundred miles away, and there are only more than twenty days left."
Li Sande said solemnly: "At present, time is relatively tight."
brush!
Tuoba Hong's face suddenly turned cold.
Compared with Tuoba Shao's deep strategy, Tuoba Jian is very brave and a powerful general on the battlefield.
When Tuoba Hong succeeded to the throne, Tuoba Jian, as a member of the royal family and a fierce general in the army, unequivocally supported Tuoba Hong, which played a great role in stabilizing Tuoba Hong's throne.
That's why Tuoba Hong couldn't care less about Tuoba Jian's life or death, otherwise what would the people below think of him?
Furthermore, the generals of the Northern Wei royal family were hung outside Jixian City. It was impossible for Tuoba Hong to ignore such an insult to the country.
Regardless, a statement must be made.
Tuoba Hong thought quickly in his mind, analyzed the whole matter, and came up with his own ideas before ordering: "Pass an edict to inform Tuoba Shao, Yu Wenke, and Murong Tiangang to discuss the matter."
Tuoba Shao was the military god of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was from a royal family and had great status and influence.
Yu Wenke was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and a wealthy family in the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was in charge of the money bag of the Northern Wei Dynasty and was Tuo Bahong's confidant.
Murong Tiangang was the Minister of the Ministry of War and a powerful official in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Li Sande arranged for someone to deliver the order. It didn't take long before Tuoba Shao, Yu Wenke and Murong Tiangang entered together.
After the three of them stood still, they all saluted Tuoba Hong.
Tuoba Hong did not go around in circles and directly told Tuoba Jian about being caught by Zhao Shan and the arrangements for his execution in one month. He said in a deep voice: "The reason why Zhao Shan arranged this is to take this opportunity to plot against us. He is waiting. I will arrange for people to snatch Tuoba Jian back. If this is the case, Zhao Shan will definitely set up a dragnet in Jixian County. Tell me, what should we do?"
Tuoba Shao's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, our previous strategy was to support a Daqian vassal king and further control Daqian. Unfortunately, Zhao Yong was too useless and was killed directly."
"Today, Wei Polu has been running Youzhou."
"Our pressure is also increasing day by day. Under Zhao Shan's management, Daqian is even more likely to be reborn."
"So, we can't wait any longer."
"Now that Tuoba Jian has happened, we will take this opportunity to attack Daqian and capture Zhao Shan."
Tuoba Shao paused for a moment, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said loudly: "If you capture Youzhou and kill Zhao Shan, the new emperor of Daqian, Daqian will fall into turmoil again."
"When Daqian's return shines, it completely dissipates."
"At that time, we will control Youzhou first, and then declare that we will not go further south to prevent the kings of Daqian from uniting to counterattack us."
"I didn't send troops before because I was worried about the alliance of the kings in Daqian."
"Now that Zhao Shan has killed one for us, the strength of the kings of Daqian has been further weakened. As long as Zhao Shan dies, we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let the kings of Daqian fight among themselves until they are extremely weak. Then he sent troops south to seize the Daqian land."
"The Wei Dynasty can move its capital from Longcheng and go further to the south."
Tuoba Shao's eyes flashed with blazing light, and he expected: "The national power of the Wei Dynasty will be stronger than ever before; the territory of the Wei Dynasty will be unprecedentedly huge. And Zhao Shan thinks that we need to arrange people to rob Tuoba Jian back, but We directly dispatched a large army to attack Youzhou."
Yu Wenke expressed his position: "Your Majesty, I agree with the strategy of sending troops."
Murong Tiangang and Zhao Shan had a deep hatred. When he thought of his son's hatred, Murong Tiangang became murderous and said, "Your Majesty, this time we attack Youzhou, the dog Murong Yu is willing to be the vanguard."
Tuoba Hong was very satisfied with Tuoba Shao's analysis.
Tuobahong also admired the attitudes of Yuwenke and Murong Tiangang.
Tuoba Hong changed his mind and said: "Murong Shangshu, as long as Murong Yu makes the first contribution, after capturing Youzhou, I will personally solemnize the marriage between Yanran and Murong Yu."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Murong Tiangang answered without hesitation.
He made up his mind that the Murong family must go all out, and the elite direct descendants of the Murong family must also be sent to marry Tuoba Yanran.
Tuobahong looked at Yuwenke and said with a smile: "Shang Shu Yuwen, when I capture Youzhou, I will divide Youzhou into two states as two states. At that time, your son Yuwenxiong will be promoted and let him go Presiding over the overall situation."
Yuwenke was extremely excited and expressed his position: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Yuwen family will fully support this."
Tuoba Hong stroked his beard and nodded, then looked at Tuoba Shao and said, "Uncle Emperor, when we attack Youzhou, shouldn't we arrange for someone to rob Tuoba Jian back? I think we should attack both sides."
Tuoba Shao said: "Your Majesty, Ji County is Zhao Shan's territory. I am worried that if I arrange for someone to rob Tuoba Jian back, I will be ambushed."
Tuoba Hong also thought carefully.
This is the truth.
However, Tuoba Jian still couldn't explain it.
Yu Wenke saw this and took the initiative: "Your Majesty, Quanzi Yuwenxiong is capable of taking back General Tuoba. Quanzi is good at fighting and has more strategies. He can take people to lurk in Jixian County and bring back General Tuoba Jian."
Tuoba Hong smiled.
The reason why he promised Yuwen Ke benefits was to mobilize the foundation and strength of the Yuwen family.
Hundreds of years after the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court structure was modeled on the Central Plains, but there were still many tribes. For example, within the Tuoba royal family, there are many basic tribes, including the Yuwen family and the Murong family.
Every major family has a basic base.
The Northern Wei Dynasty mixed the tribal system of nomadic peoples with the characteristics of settled people in the Central Plains.
Tuoba Hong said in a deep voice: "Shang Shu Yuwen, Yu Wenxiong is young and promising, and he is extraordinary in martial arts. I look forward to his performance."
Yu Wenke said: "I will certainly live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Tuoba Hong nodded, and discussed with Tuoba Shao, Yu Wenke, and Murong Tiangang the specific plan for sending troops.
The final result was that Tuoba Shao served as the marching commander and took charge of all affairs of the army.
This time the Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops to the south, and mobilized a total of 80,000 troops, including not only the elites of the Yuwen, Murong and Tuoba tribes, but also the direct line of Tianlangqi under Tuoba Shao.
The 80,000-strong army headed south under the leadership of Tuoba Shao. The army was mighty, but the speed was relatively slow.
After Yu Wenke returned home and explained to Yu Wenxiong, Yu Wenxiong took the Yuwen family to Jixian County, Youzhou first.
As Yu Wenxiong went south, the Yuwen family also followed him in pieces. When Yu Wenxiong entered Jixian, he arrived at the designated contact point and called back the sentinels hiding in Jixian to prepare to understand and arrange the next tasks.
