Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 979 Adviser

  Each ethnic group, or each group, has the desire to survive and the right to survive, but when the interests of the two ethnic groups overlap, intense conflicts will arise.

   This kind of contradiction cannot be appeased without bloodshed.

For the nomads in the north, this is a big gamble. If you win a lot of money, everyone will live a good life together. As for losing the gamble, it is nothing more than a few deaths. It will really hit them to the point of extinction and genocide. If a few people die, the burden of the ethnic group can be reduced, so that the food that is not enough to eat will be enough immediately.

   After a few years or ten years, these defeated nomads will regain their strength and the population will reach the red line again, and they will make a comeback again.

   Since ancient times, the farming civilization and the nomadic civilization of Zhu Xia have been colliding in this way for thousands of years, and both sides have won and lost.

Now, the Xianbei Ministry has been unified for four years, the population is expanding rapidly, and its strength is gradually becoming stronger. This ethnic group that was driven by Ye Sheng outside the customs is no longer the Xianbei nobles who could not carry a knife or mount a horse more than 40 years ago. At this time, there was no old general with a big gun in the pass, and even no one in the Ye family was at Jimen Pass at this time.

   No matter from any point of view, Yuwenbu has no reason to be honest.

   Just like Li Xin in the southwest, driven by the collective interests, the Yuwen Department will sooner or later take action against Dajin. This is the consensus of Li Xin, Zhao Jia and others. The difference is only when the fight will start.

Sitting in the tent, Yu Wenzhao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then reached out to call one of his advisors, and said, "Check it out in detail, who is the new General Zhenbei sent by the Ji family's court to Jizhou City? Find out what likes, interests, or shortcomings he has, and try to be as detailed as possible."

Yuwenzhao's advisor, surnamed Fan Mingcheng, is a Han Chinese. He is in his 40s this year. He was originally a Juren in Dajin. Not first, Fan Cheng felt a ruthless heart, and simply went out and joined Yuwen's department, becoming a staff member beside Yuwenzhao.

Over the years, Yu Wenzhao has integrated the Yuwen Department, made a vassal to the Dajin court, received the title of King Yan, and explored the frontier landforms. Most of the ideas came from Fan Cheng’s hands. Yu Wenzhao also trusts him very much. Fan Cheng took care of it.

Fan Chengchui stood behind Yu Wenzhao, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the general of Zhenbei, who was sent by the imperial court to Jizhou, has been asked to investigate. Although there is not too detailed information, it can be found out. It is the clan of the Ji family, the eldest son of Duke Yue, and the uncle of the emperor of the Ji family in terms of seniority."

   "The royal family."

   Yu Wenzhao frowned slightly: "If it's Ji's family, it's a bit difficult to handle."

No matter what officials are, as long as they do what they want, they can always get close, and there is a possibility of rebellion, but the Ji family is different. The court is their family, and they are unlikely to betray the country anyway. Mix with the Xianbei people.

  Fan Cheng bowed his head respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, your subordinates will go to investigate this person in detail, and send it to your Majesty's table a month later."

  Yuwenzhao nodded first, then looked at Fan Cheng and asked, "Mr. Fan, if this king leads troops into the customs, what are the odds of winning?"

   "It depends on where the king starts to fight."

Fan Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then said, "There are Chong family members inside and outside the city of Yunzhou, and the army is strictly governed, and they are trusted by the Dajin court. If the king forces the city of Yunzhou, the Chong family will most likely be able to defend it. ."

After a pause, he continued: "If the king attacks Jimen Pass, the odds of winning are higher, but even if the Ye family is not at Jimen Pass, the Zhenbei Army is the army they have brought for decades, and the king wants to attack Jimen by force. It would also be a huge loss.”

Fan Cheng lowered his head and said slowly, "According to my subordinates, if the king wants to enter the customs and restore the great Zhou Weiye, the best way is to get in touch with that Mrs. Li. If Mrs. Li is willing to echo the king in the southwest, the king will recover. The homeland of Da Zhou is just around the corner."

   Yu Wenzhao was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"I've met Li Changan, and because of his temperament, he probably won't cooperate with us, but I've already asked Di'ernan to look for him. If he can nod his head, this matter will be easy to handle. If he refuses to nod, then There is no way."

   Yu Wenzhao looked solemn and said, "No matter what, when the spring begins, we must think of a way to enter the customs, otherwise in the next winter, the elderly and children in our department will starve to death."

   "It doesn't matter if you can't get through the pass. If you die a little bit, you can save some food. It's better than going hungry all together."

   Fan Cheng squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are waiting for that Mr. Li to lead the troops out of Shu, maybe that Mr. Li is also waiting for you to lead the troops into the customs, even if he pretends to be lofty and refuses to cooperate with the king, wait for the king to really fight with the Dajin court. , I believe that this Mrs. Li will definitely take the opportunity to lead troops out of Shu."

   Yu Wenzhao half-squinted his eyes and glanced at Fan Cheng.

   "How can I see it?"

Fan Cheng's expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "According to the information collected over the years, that Mrs. Li has built an army of at least a hundred thousand people in the southwest. With so many troops, I don't know how much it will take to raise them, Your Majesty. I don't think he, Li Changan, was raised for fun, right?"

   "This person is definitely an ambitious person. Once you enter the customs, Your Majesty, he will most likely take the opportunity to rebel and overthrow the world of the Jin Dynasty."

  Fan Cheng said slowly: "This is your chance, King, and it is his only chance for Li Changan. As long as he is a smart person, he will definitely seize this golden opportunity."

   Yu Wenzhao frowned deeply. After sitting on the chair and thinking for a long time, he looked up at Fan Cheng.

   "How sure are Mr. Fan's words?"

   "Subordinates are not sure."

Fan Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not a fortune teller either, I can only analyze the situation to the king bit by bit, but as the king said, no matter what the time is, after the spring, our department will follow up with the imperial court. If the fight starts, then there is no need to think about it so much, after the fight, just wait for the news from the southwest."

   "If Mrs. Li also rebelled, the king should take this opportunity to go south and restore the homeland of Da Zhou."

   "If Mrs. Li didn't agree with the king, then the king can only go to Dajin to grab some food and come back to support the tribe."

   Yu Wenzhao nodded.

   "Mr. Fan said yes."

   "Since this is the case, then I have to seriously consider how this battle should be fought."

   Yu Wenzhao half-squinted his eyes and his voice was a little hoarse.

   "If our department can take Jimen Pass in a short period of time, I want to come to Li Changan, who is far away in the southern border. When I received this news, I should cooperate with my department and besiege the capital."

   Having said that, Yu Wenzhao didn't say any more. He turned his eyes to the direction of Jizhou City, and then sighed slowly: "There are a hundred thousand Zhenbei Army."

   "Even if it is really eaten, I don't know how many people will be left among the people who attacked the city..."
