Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 956

If the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, that is, Yunzhou City or Jimen Pass, falls, then the Xianbei Ministry will not be able to step on the Central Plains, at least there will be no obstacles in the area north of the Yangtze River. By then, Ye Sheng will spend eight years. The homeland of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be trampled under the foot of the Xianbei Ministry again.

Of course, the strength of the current Xianbei clan is far inferior to that of Beizhou, who entered the customs back then. Even if Yu Wenzhao unified the Xianbei clans, the population would not exceed one million. However, everyone in the Xianbei tribe can ride horses, and there is no shortage of horses in the tribe. One hundred thousand people is one hundred thousand horses, and two hundred thousand people are two hundred thousand horses.

Comparatively speaking, the cavalry on the Dajin side was much less. The Gyeonggi Imperial Army was almost all tribes, and the Zhenbei Army in Jimenguan was less than 10,000 cavalry when it was full. raised.

  Yunzhou's breeders have a richer family background, but the cavalry is only 15,000 people, and they all spent a lot of money to cultivate.

The only advantage of the Dajin side is that the Xianbei Ministry was driven out of the pass by Ye Sheng. They escaped from Jimen Pass in extreme embarrassment. They only took a few craftsmen with them. In addition, there was a shortage of ore in the north. Their equipment is extremely lagging behind, except for bows and crossbows that are still dominant, armor and melee knives and guns are extremely backward.

If the Xianbei Ministry breaks the northern border gate, then although they are still not the opponents of Dajin, they can enter the customs and loot enough iron weapons, and they will attract most of the energy of the Dajin court, and they will confront the court for several years. Southwest, you can take a good breath and usher in a great opportunity.

   That's why Zhao Jia said, it's not a bad thing.

Li Xin frowned slightly: "If Yu Wenzhao wants to enter the gate, most likely he will not touch the Chong's house, but will fight the slightly weaker Jimen Pass. When they break through the Jimen Pass, it is true that a layer of skin will be removed, but the Ye family's Decades of wealth have been wiped out.”

  From a long-term perspective, the Yuwenbu in the north will almost certainly be knocked down.

The reason is very simple. The resources in the north are not enough for an ethnic group to grow. Nomads live by herding horses and herding sheep. The upper limit of the population is probably between one million and two million. Relying on a large number of resources and arable land in the customs, it is possible to multiply the ethnic group on a large scale.

More than three years have passed, and Yuwenzhao has digested the Helan Department. In the next few years, the population of the Yuwen Department will usher in a period of rapid growth. When the children born in the past few years grow up, There will likely be insufficient food.

   This is also one of the main reasons for the war in northern Xinjiang in all dynasties.

Zhao Jia sighed: "The court was so defensive about the prince that it missed the opportunity. At the beginning of the ninth year of Taikang, Lord Ye led the Zhenbei Army to defeat the Yuwen tribes. At that time, the court should make up their minds to destroy or beat them in one go. Love the Yuwen Department, rather than sit back and watch them grow together."

"Even three years ago, the imperial court had the opportunity to attack the northern border, but they named Yuwenzhao the king of Yan. In this way, even if the Zhenbei Army and the Chongjia Army wanted to attack Yuwen's subordinates, they would not be able to do so. Forget it."

   "Forget it, let's not talk about the Northern Border, we'll talk about it when we really fight."

   Lord Jingan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "The question now is, do I want to go to Beijing."

   "Certainly not."

Zhao Jia said categorically: "In the past few years, the imperial court's defense against the southwest has become like a master, and the Marquis knows best. Now not only does the Han have the imperial garrison, but that General Pei Jin has recruited another 50,000 people in Ankang. The training is almost done now, and there is a tendency to break into Jianmenguan at any time, and in the past few years, the imperial court did not know how many people were sent to sneak into Jincheng, and they did everything they could to collect news of Tianlei."

Having said that, he glanced at Li Xin and continued: "Master Hou has sent Director Chen to Jincheng to supervise the pharmaceutical affairs, and his subordinates and Mu Ying also pay attention to the safety of Director Chen, and have protected him over the past few years. Very good, and those people who can't get in touch with Director Chen, they want to get in touch with the real pharmaceutical people."

  Because Jincheng has been preparing for the war in recent years, it needs to hoard a large number of Tianlei. In the past few years, several workshops have been built in the mountains, which are specially used to produce Tianlei.

The method of    work is to use assembly line operations, each person is responsible for one of the processes, and each other does not know what others are doing. In this way, it can be roughly kept secret.

   But even so, these workers were still contacted by the people of the imperial court. They either coerced or lured them, and they exhausted all means to get the key formula.

Having said this, Zhao Jia paused for a while, and then continued: "According to my subordinates, if this continues, the imperial court will sooner or later get a similar formula. Treating you as a bandit, Lord Hou will definitely cause serious problems when he enters Beijing at this time."

   Zhao Jia looked solemn.

"The emperor today is not the young man who just ascended the throne three or four years ago. He has been in power for three years. Whether it is the imperial guard or the imperial army, he is already in the hands of the emperor. Do it, Lord Hou will probably not be able to escape."

Zhao Jia is right. Today's emperor is not the one he was three or four years ago. He will be forced to cry by a few ministers. That position is the best way to hone a person's character, and it will also distort a person's personality. Personality, after three years, no one knows what he looks like now.

   Entering Beijing at this time is too risky.

   Li Xin frowned and let out a slow breath.

   "Then I'll wait in Jincheng. After there is news from the capital, I will consider the next move."

   Zhao Jia sat down and looked up at Li Xin.

   He opened his mouth and asked, "Don't you have any other thoughts, Lord Hou?"

   Li Xin smiled dumbly: "Brother You An, if you have anything to say, just say it, you and I have been old friends for more than ten years, just say what you need to say."

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, then said silently: "Master Hou, the Xianbei Ministry once ruled the Central Plains, and it has only been two generations now. As long as they recover their vitality, they will not be willing to stay outside the customs until Yuwenzhao has accumulated a certain amount of energy. of the capital, he will definitely find a way to knock it off."

   "With the war in the northern Xinjiang, my opportunity in the southwest has come."

   The scholar dressed in white looked up at Li Xin again and asked slowly.

"I have known each other for more than ten years, and my subordinates know that Lord Hou is not a peaceful person. Once the war in the northern Xinjiang begins, most of the energy of the imperial court will be attracted to the northern Xinjiang, and even the Gyeonggi Imperial Army will send a part of the support to the northern Xinjiang. The capital will become very weak."

   "Master Hou doesn't want to take the opportunity to lead his troops out of Shu and compete in the world?"
