Murong Lan was so angry that she no longer paid attention to the black robe, looked at Murong Chao, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Chao, listen, this person has evil intentions, and deliberately wants Dayan and Jin to start a full-scale war, and Liu Yu dominates the world. For more than ten years, he has been invincible. Even my eldest brother was full of praise for his general ability, so he asked me to use all means to make him submit. Now he has become the ruler of the Jin Dynasty, holding a heavy army. Last time, the late emperor When I was still alive, I once raised an army that overwhelmed the country, but in the end I just made peace with him and returned it, because I knew that if we continue to fight, we have no chance of winning. Even if we gain Jiangbei for a while, we will be trapped in a long-term tug of war, and the gains will not be worth the losses, and our enemies will only be advantaged."
"The current plan is to fight against the Wei State in the north and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. Although Ah Chao has professed vassalage to the Later Qin Dynasty this time, it is equivalent to giving up the title of emperor and becoming a vassal. But after all, you have welcomed back your mother, wife and children, for the sake of An act of utmost filial piety. Our mortal enemy of Dayan is the Northern Wei Dynasty. They occupied my homeland and killed my people. This blood feud cannot be taken lightly. Among the Xianbei people who followed us to the Qilu land, none of the Xianbei people in their families died under the butcher knife of the Wei army. ? You can just use this flesh and blood relationship to rally the whole country to share the same hatred of the enemy, fight back against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and avenge the blood feud. "
"Moreover, only by regaining Hebei can we reopen the passage to our hometown in Liaodong outside the Pass. Murong Bao was incompetent and Murong Xi was ungrateful. In the end, the country was cut off. Then the Feng family got my hometown of Dayan, the country of Liaodong. As the descendants of the Murong family, we We should also recover the lost territory. After all, it is our Longxing land. As long as we occupy Hebei and Liaodong, we can continue to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty, or we can return to our hometown when we retreat. It is no better than gambling on the national destiny here to fight against the powerful. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is waging this meaningless fight, are you going to do it well?"
Gongsun Wulou laughed: "Princess Lan, do you really think it is easier to fight Hebei than to fight the Eastern Jin Dynasty? If the Northern Wei Dynasty is so easy to deal with, why are we here?"
Murong Lan said solemnly: "At this time, Tuoba Si deceived the tribes in the grasslands, saying that the Central Plains was full of gold and food, and then these unreasonable barbarians followed him to the Central Plains, with more than 400,000 people riding on horseback. , a population of two to three million went south, and they succeeded for a while, allowing our country of Yan to separate. However, their losses were also great. After several battles, more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry were killed. The most important thing is that , due to our resolute resistance, what they gained in Hebei was mostly ruins and large areas of barren fields. It was because they could not maintain a permanent presence of the army here. Even Tuoba Si himself could only lead the army back to the grassland. , those who stayed in Hebei were only some clan princes and servant tribes, not the main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"Just like the Helan Tribe, their leader Helan Lu, like most other tribal leaders, was unwilling to enter the Central Plains, but Tuoba Si had no choice but to force him, so he surrendered to us when he found the opportunity and never returned. There are many people like him who are unwilling to be driven and enslaved by the Tuoba clan. Tuoba Si took the main force back to the grassland to suppress the various tribes, but let many tribes send troops to garrison in Hebei. If we eliminate these people, then Tuoba Si Basi will take the opportunity to annex their tribes on the grassland. Therefore, these people have no intention of fighting. If we take the initiative to attack, they will disperse and flee back to the grassland when they see that the situation is not good."
Murong Chao hesitated: "Is this really the case? Then why, why didn't we go to the northern expedition to Hebei when the late emperor was here?"
Murong Lan said seriously: "After all, the late Emperor was a famous general, and Dayan maintained an army of hundreds of thousands. The Northern Wei Dynasty did not dare to underestimate it. There are 30,000 Tuoba clan troops stationed in Hebei to supervise other people. However, After His Majesty came to the throne, Tuoba Si had the intention to despise His Majesty. In addition, the Feng family in Liaodong usurped Dayan and then repaired with the Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, Tuoba Si withdrew most of the elite troops from Hebei and returned to the grassland to help him conquer various places. Tribal rebellion. This is a great opportunity for us. As long as we find a way to withdraw the elite troops from the south, especially secretly mobilize 30,000 armored cavalry to the northern front line, and then suddenly attack and march straight to Hebei, the local tribal garrison will flee. , and the powerful families of the Han people will also look forward to joining us. As long as we can recapture the key cities of Zhongshan, Yecheng, and Jicheng, it will be even more difficult for the Northern Wei Dynasty to come back to fight for it. This is our Dayan The right way to restore the country!"
Murong Chao's brows were still furrowed: "But, what if the Eastern Jin Dynasty sees us sending troops out and takes the opportunity to attack?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Liu Yu will not break the contract. I am sure of this. Moreover, there is a natural barrier in the Daxian Mountain to the south. As long as he holds it, he will not be able to get through. Even if he retreats ten thousand steps, if he wants to take advantage of the opportunity, what will the Northern Wei Dynasty do? If we attack, the Yanzhou soldiers and horses on the south bank of the Yellow River will also return to rescue Hebei, or they will attack our homeland to relieve Hebei's urgent needs. If Yanzhou is empty, Liu Yu will attack there, which is the right choice."
Murong Chao was a little tempted and looked at the black robe: "National Master, look..."
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes, and he suddenly looked at Murong Lan. His lips moved gently. Murong Lan's expression changed, and just as she was about to speak, a line of blood flowed out of her nose, and she only felt I had a splitting headache and fainted just like that. fell to the ground.
Murong Chao opened his mouth in surprise: "Master, what is this? Auntie?"
The black robe walked forward calmly, bent down and stretched out his hand in front of Murong Lan's nose, then picked up her jade wrist and took a pulse, then smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, the eldest princess has been working hard for days, and she is stuck in following. Liu Yu's family and country were in a dilemma, and he was furious for a moment, and..."
At this point, the corner of his mouth curled up: "And the eldest princess is happy. It should be the result of meeting Liu Yu this time. A long separation is better than a new marriage."
Murong Chao jumped up in shock: "This, how is this possible? Could it be..."
The black robe said in a deep voice: "Therefore, it is not appropriate for the eldest princess to express her views on state affairs now. Based on her current position, she is not willing to be an enemy of Liu Yu, and will find ten thousand reasons to excuse her husband. This She has been really tired for a while, and I think it’s time for her to take a good rest.”
He said, picked up Murong Lan and walked out: "I will arrange the eldest princess's rest. General Gongsun, please discuss with your majesty the battle plan for teaching the Eastern Jin Dynasty this time. If Liu Yu knew that his wife was pregnant Well, we have another way to prevent Liu Yu from attacking Dayan. This time we just let go and rob, I can guarantee that Liu Yu will never dare to actually send out troops to retaliate."
