Become a feudal king from today

Liangzhou, Wuwei City. ReadМ

Tiemuta looked at Xiliang Shanyu Murong Hao, who was bowing down in front of him but still had a hint of unruliness in his eyes, his eyes twinkling.

After returning to the grassland from Jinling, he reported Zhao Heng's refusal to hand over King Yan.

At the same time, he also gave the note given to him by the Dou family to his father.

What the Dou family planned with him this time was in line with his father Khan's next move.

After all, Da Song refused to hand over King Yan, so they couldn't give up.

So he was ordered to come to Xiliang and hand over his father Khan's order to Murong Hao.

At present, Xiliang occupied half of Jinzhou, and Xiliang surrendered to Beidi.

Originally they couldn't intervene in Jinzhou, but now they can.

"Dasong is like scattered sand. The powerful clan only cares about their own interests. For this reason, they are even willing to betray the country for glory. The only person who can hinder me from going south from Beidi is King Yan."

"Emperor Dasong refused to hand over King Yan, so the Khan decided to retaliate against Dasong in Jinzhou and asked you to send troops from Xiliang to capture Jincheng and sweep across Jinzhou." Tiemuta said while handing the parchment to him. Murong Hao.

"Attack Jincheng?" Murong Hao frowned, "It's just that the walls of Jincheng are high and thick, so how can we capture it so easily?"

"I couldn't do it before, but I can now. Everything is written on the parchment. If I remember correctly, you, Xiliang, have always regarded Jincheng as a holy city. Taking Jincheng has been the mission of your chanyus throughout the ages."

After a pause, Tiemuta continued: "We in Beidi will give you the opportunity to fulfill your mission. In return, you will fight this battle for us in Beidi."

When Murong Hao heard this, he opened his eyelids and glanced, and his whole body was shocked.

Putting away the parchment, he nodded, "I will obey the Khan's order."

Temuta smiled with satisfaction, but there was still a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Both he and his father Khan knew that Xiliang surrendered to Beidi, but they were intimidated by Beidi's military front.

Shanyu Murong Hao was still a little unconvinced in his heart.

This time when he saw Murong Hao, he directly felt Murong Hao's unruly heart underneath his apparent surrender.

Therefore, after discussing the matter in Jinzhou with his father Khan, he decided to implement two strategies.

One is to drive away the wolf and the tiger, and the other is to keep the oriole behind.

Driving away wolves and devouring tigers will naturally cause Xiliang to sweep across Jinzhou and create trouble for Dasong.

It would be fine if Emperor Dasong handed over King Yan. If not, he would definitely send troops to Yanzhou and take back Jinzhou.

At that time, there will be a big war between Xiliang and Dasong, and the Dou family will instigate Emperor Dasong to involve King Yan in it.

In this way, they could not only weaken Xiliang and prevent Xiliang from getting rid of their control, but also make King Yan lose his troops and generals.

And when they are exhausted from fighting, Beidi, who is sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, can quickly send troops to Jinzhou and harvest the fruits.

At that time, they not only attacked King Yan, but also could justifiably obey Xiliang and occupy Jinzhou.

After all, Xiliang lost its troops and generals, and was no longer able to control Jinzhou, so it could only give it to Beidi.

After explaining the matter, Tiemuta got on his horse and left with the Beidi cavalry.

After seeing off Iron Wood Tower, Tuoba Hao frowned and looked at the staff beside him, Li Xin.

Since inheriting the throne of Xiliang Shan, he has resisted Beidi and attacked Dasong. Xiliang's territory has continued to expand in his hands.

The population under Xiliang's rule reached nearly two million.

The number of soldiers and horses under his command even reached 300,000.

It was precisely with such strong military power that he continued to attack cities and seize territory.

However, since Beidi Khan Mu Lehongzhen made up his mind to conquer Xiliang.

The Beidi cavalry wreaked havoc on the territory of Xiliang.

Unlike Dasong, Xiliang is also a nomadic tribe and has no passes to defend against Beidi.

The tribesmen under his command suffered heavy casualties when attacked by the Beidi cavalry, which cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Finally, he could no longer hold on anymore, and finally decided to surrender to Beidi and become a vassal of Beidi.

"Could this be a trap?" Murong Hao stared at Li Xin and handed over the parchment.

The parchment says that a captain named Cui Yan of the Forbidden Army opened the gates of Jincheng, allowing him to seize the opportunity to capture Jincheng and the entire Jinzhou.

Although he surrendered to Beidi, he is still full of distrust of Beidi.

I am worried that Beidi is still worried about surrendering Xiliang and wants to take the opportunity to further weaken Xiliang.

"There is indeed such a person among the generals in Jincheng." Li Xin said thoughtfully.

When Murong Hao heard this, his eyes flashed.

Among the seven counties in Jinzhou, the four in the north were all captured by the Xiliang army.

There are still three counties adjacent to Yanzhou in the east.

The three counties are like horns, and the one blocking the Xiliang army's eastward advance is Jincheng.

If the content on this parchment is true.

As long as Jincheng is captured, the entire Jinzhou will be captured.

"It was one hundred and fifty years ago when Murong Hun Shanyu was unwilling to surrender and raised his troops to attack Jincheng." Murong Hao touched the bald head of his head.

His face, as sharp as a knife, was full of unruliness.

Li Xin nodded.

The Murong family is originally a Xianbei surname that praises the northwest frontier.

After Dasong was established, the Xianbei people chose to submit themselves to Dasong and pay tribute every year.

Emperor Dasong named Murong Huo, the then Xianbei Chanyu, as King of Xiliang and inherited it from generation to generation.

Jinzhou at that time was occupied by the Xianbei people during the war between the powerful clans at the end of the previous dynasty.

After Xiliang became a vassal, Dasong was unwilling to intensify the conflict with Xiliang, so he acquiesced that Jinzhou was the land of the Xianbei people.

in this hundred years.

Originally, it was just the Xianbei people, a nomadic tribe in the northwest, who actively learned the culture and system of Dasong.

Getting stronger day by day.

Finally, when an ambitious Xiliang King Murong Hun appeared, he was no longer willing to surrender to Da Song and raised a banner to rebel.

In order to completely separate from Dasong, Chanyu Muronghun ordered everyone in Xiliang to keep their hair at ear level and shave all their hair above the ears.

Let your hair hang down and tie it into braids on both sides of your ears.

This move by Murong Hun-chan angered Emperor Dasong.

After that, a fierce war broke out with Xiliang that lasted for thirty years.

In this war, Dasong took back Jinzhou, which had belonged to the Central Plains dynasty in previous dynasties.

Murong Hun, who lost Jinzhou, died in depression because of the defeat in the war.

He passed down his will and ordered each generation of Xiliang chanyu to take back Jinzhou as their own responsibility.

"Chanyu remembered correctly, it was one hundred and fifty years ago." Li Xin bowed.

"It's been so long. I didn't expect that after I surrendered to Beidi, Xiliang would get the chance to take back Jincheng." Murong Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then he mused, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is Khan Mulhongzhen's order. We must implement it. Give Murong Wuji an order to lead 150,000 troops to capture Jincheng!"

Xiliang is now just a vassal of Beidi, similar to the relationship between a monarch and his ministers.

But even so, Xiliang still has the right to expand its territory, but it can only not violate the will of Beidi, which is the same as the Koryo Kingdom in the east.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xin agreed and exited the camp.

…

Jincheng.

Sun's Restaurant.

Cui Yan was dressed in casual clothes. He glanced behind him and saw that there was nothing unusual. His waiter led him into the private room at the back of the restaurant.

Before closing the door, he looked around again and then sat down at the table.

Opposite him, a fat merchant in Chinese clothes was sipping Yanzhou fine wine.

Glancing at Cui Yan, he said: "Let's have a drink first. This is the new Yanzhou wine in the restaurant."

"My ancestor, how can I be in the mood to drink now? My head will be gone soon." Cui Yan had a grimace on his face.

He was originally a member of the Dou family.

In order to let him sneak into the Great Song Forbidden Army.

The Dou family deliberately expelled him from the Dou family.

In fact, he secretly supported him. After he successfully entered the Forbidden Army, he was promoted several times within a few years and became a captain.

Later he was dispatched to Jincheng to resist Xiliang.

Originally, he thought that he would spend his whole life hanging around in the Forbidden Army.

Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, Beidi's Black Iron Guard found him.

He was given a shocking task.

He teamed up with Xiliang Liyingwai to capture Jincheng and defected to Xiliang.

"This is a big mistake. If you have made such a great contribution, the Shanyu of Xiliang will definitely reward you heavily. He may even send you a few beauties from Xiliang to be your concubines. Why not?" The merchant said. Speak slowly.

"But, if I fail, my head will fall off." Cui Yan was anxious for a while.

Seeing Cui Yan's unwillingness, the merchant's face gradually turned cold.

He snorted softly: "Do you want me to remind you that you are carrying a murder case? If this murder case is exposed, you will also be dead."

When Cui Yan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale as paper.

He has been scolded by Dou Wei's eighteen generations of ancestors for betraying his secrets to the Beidi people.

"Whether you want it or not, the letter has been sent out. As long as the Xiliang army doesn't move, if it does, you have to cooperate." The merchant said sternly.

Seeing Cui Yan's expression getting more and more ugly, his tone suddenly softened again.

"It's okay if you don't want to go to Xiliang, we will give you a large sum of money, and you can live comfortably anonymously in the future."

After a pause, he continued, "As for your mother, wife and children in the capital, don't worry, someone will send them to you." The merchant stood up, poured a glass of wine for Cui Yan, and patted his shoulder.

Cui Yan was startled, and finally nodded silently.

"I understand, I hope you won't break your promise." Cui Yan drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Cui Yan slammed the glass down, stood up and left the restaurant.

The merchant tilted his head and smiled.

He didn't care at all, he was just a pawn.

What's the use of keeping him?

He didn't care whether Cui Yan lived or died, as long as Beidi's goal was achieved.

"Once Jincheng is lost, all Jinzhou will return to Xiliang. I, Beidi, will drive the tigers and devour the wolves, and the oriole will follow, and the northwest of Dasong will turn into a pot of porridge." The merchant smiled and chanted.

After thinking about it for a while, he looked in the direction of Yanzhou.

"Brother, I will avenge you. King Yan will not be able to escape this time." The merchant said, he is the commander of the Black Iron Guard, Tuoba Lie's younger brother, Tuoba Xi.

Then he looked to the southwest, where Qinzhou was.

"There is another Ma family." Tuoba Xi sneered after taking a few bites of the food.

This is also the focus of Beidi and the Dou family's plans.

…

Yancheng.

Zhao Xu had no idea that a conspiracy was brewing against him.

At this moment, he and the government officials were selecting students for the school.

Many people from poor families failed the official examination this time.

But that doesn't mean they are useless.

They who can read and write are still equivalent to talents in this era.

Selecting some outstanding ones to enter the three universities and train them will create some talents.
