Qinglong sighed: "We have a saying in the Central Plains, which is called the overlord of the grassland. It rises and dies, so why? If benevolence and righteousness are not applied, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different. You have achieved many victories now, but If you are proud of your victory and drive those captives to do meaningless construction of cities and palaces, not only will you be trapped here and no longer patrol the grasslands, but it will also change people's minds, so you must pay attention!"
Tuoba Gui looked at the unkempt prisoners who were as busy as ants, strung together by long straw ropes, and laboring hard under the whips, punches and kicks of the Wei soldiers, and said coldly: " On the grassland, weakness is the original sin, failure means losing everything, no one will sympathize with them, and no one will pity them."
Qinglong shook his head: "Then these captives and slaves will not become your strength. Instead, you need these soldiers to monitor them and take care of them. They will build a city wall for you so that you can no longer patrol the grassland and be trapped here. And your troops cannot go out to fight, but you have to watch these prisoners."
"Your enemies will get a chance to breathe because of this, and your friends will be disappointed in you because of this. Both the Dugu tribe and the Helan tribe have been kind to you, but now they have become your enemies and been eliminated by you. Their The tribesmen are suffering like this. Do these tribes who are now surrendering to you have no idea?"
"King Wei, no one in this world can be strong forever. Many empires that were extremely powerful for a while have gone with the wind. Do you want to repeat their mistakes? I know that even after the death of the Dai Kingdom, the kindness you have shown to the grassland over the years has been He Renyi can also help you regain your country again, and the terrible legends of the Tiefu Xiongnu and the skull wine cup can scare children so much that they dare not cry, but even so, can they set foot in Monan now? "
"Although fear is a kind of power, if you rely only on fear and violence, you are bound to fail. It's just a matter of time. And once you fail, you won't even have the chance to stand up and recover!"
The confident and arrogant look on Tuoba Gui's face gradually faded with the sonorous words of Qinglong. He saluted seriously: "Teacher, I was wrong. I'm sorry. If it weren't for your teachings, I’m just afraid that I’m in danger and don’t know it.”
Qinglong sighed: "You are the student I brought out single-handedly. Even your eldest father, I once assisted you as Yanfeng for a period of time. He didn't listen to me and married the Murong family in the Yan Kingdom. Giving birth to sons threatens the status of the previous son, and eventually leads to tragedy, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. I don’t want you to make this mistake again, so you must figure out who your friends are, who your enemies are, and the source of your strength. Where, and what is to be done.”
Tuoba Gui said seriously: "Then please ask the teacher for some advice. Now that three members of the Helan family are far away in Mobei, should I hunt them down and eradicate them?"
A cold light flashed in Qinglong's eyes: "No, these three tribes are all part of the grassland and have been connected for generations. The Hetu Neighbor Tribe protected your late king when the Tuoba clan just left the Daxianbei Mountains, and the Helan Tribe also Your mother and queen who has protected you is also from the Helan tribe. Although it is said that they were cruel to them because they wanted to consolidate their power, the beatings to this point should be enough. The Helan tribe has surrendered and sent envoys to sue for peace. , you should give them a chance, and allow Helan Ne to come back as long as they drive away Helan Ranqian who is determined to fight."
Tuoba Gui's expression changed: "You want me to let Helan Ne go? He is the culprit, right?"
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Of course I know he is the one, but now he has no strength. He Lan Ran is impulsive and has no plan. He is clamoring to fight you to the end every day. This person cannot be forgiven. He Lan Ne secretly sued for peace. You As long as you set such conditions, you can let their brothers kill each other and kill each other. If Helan Ranqian wins, you can just send troops to eliminate them. If Helan Ne wins, their vitality will be severely damaged and they will no longer be a threat. When the time comes, you You can leave the eastern grassland to Helan Ne and send Wang Jian's tribe to monitor it. Helan Ne will no longer be a threat. As for the He Tu Lin and He Xi tribes, you can let them fight the Rouran and Tiele tribes. The merits will be self-reliant. In this way, if the three parties are separated, you can completely solve the rebellion problem without spending a single soldier."
Tuoba Gui breathed a long sigh of relief: "Teacher is indeed brilliant. After the three parts are solved, who will be my next enemy?"
Qinglong's eyes flashed coldly: "Your next enemy is not external, not Liu Weichen, nor Murong Chui, but within you, your old brothers who were the founding fathers of the country."
Tuoba Gui's face changed: "Teacher, what do you mean? Now that the great cause has failed, I am required to kill the heroes? This is not in line with the rules of the grassland, and it will also make people's hearts separated. Just like what you have taught me for many years It’s different too.”
Qinglong shook his head: "I didn't ask you to kill the heroes on the grassland, but your subordinates have no rules now and are too disobedient. In their eyes, you are just a big brother who leads them to get rich, not Their king. If you let him, you will only become the Khan of the grasslands at most, and you will never become the overlord of the Central Plains."
Tuoba Gui took a breath of air: "Teacher, you want me to take over the Central Plains? You firmly stopped me from doing so before, so I couldn't even have this idea."
Qinglong said coldly: "It was in the past. I didn't expect that you could dominate the grassland so quickly. I didn't expect that you would be framed by my old friends of decades, and you almost lost your life." , this time, besides Zhuque and the others, Murong Chui was also the one who wanted me dead. If he hadn’t leaked my whereabouts, how could Zhuque and Xuanwu have succeeded so quickly? Murong Lan had already sensed my intention from you. existence, that's why I secretly informed Zhuque that they were chasing me. I want to recover this debt from Murong Chui. Therefore, from now on, you must be prepared to become an enemy of the Yan Kingdom. Even if you don't want to take over the Central Plains, Yan Sooner or later, the country will take action against you. So, from now on, you must secretly collude with Murong Yong, and one day, he will be your helper."
Tuoba Gui smiled and said: "Teacher, Murong Yong has nothing to befriend, right? He is just a defeated general of mine. Now he has lost half of his armor and cavalry equipment. I think he may not be Fu Pi's opponent. As long as Fu Pi can If he holds on for half a year, most of his Xiyan tribe will disperse."
Qinglong shook his head: "I believe the teacher, Fu Pi will definitely fight Murong Yong, and the winner will definitely be Murong Yong!"
