He had never heard of this name before, and the only thing he knew was Xiqi Mountain, which was between Suixi and Wuliang.

Tuoba Ren stood up, walked to the big map behind him, and pointed to a place, which was the Xiqi Mountains. He explained, "This was made by King Dayan Duan. He was going to build a passage in this narrow and long valley to connect the Western Regions."

Song Lian also stepped forward and followed Tuoba Ren's finger.

Tuoba Ren went on to say: "This is the area between Suixi and Wuliang. Because there are mountains and mountains on both sides, the road is obstructive and dangerous. No one goes to this place at all, and it has become a barren land over time. Our two countries have a tacit understanding of this as the border between the two countries. So this place has become a land of no one."

Song Lian rubbed her chin and stared at the map carefully. After a long time, she asked, "Why did Duke Duan create this Xiqi Corridor? Logically speaking, this place is useless at all."

"Look at this again." Tuoba Ren took out another secret letter and handed it to Song Lian.

This is the news sent by the spies from the frontier. After Ming Yu returned to Beijing, he called a lot of merchants to the frontier. And Mingyu's Xiqi Corridor is to facilitate trade with countries in the Western Regions.

Song Lian was silent after reading it. He didn't understand business matters. In the past, he only studied for the imperial examinations and to become an official. In the future, his career will skyrocket. In his view, doing business is something that inferior talents do.

Now, a king of Yan is actually complicit with the merchants, spending a lot of time and effort to create a corridor just for the sake of trade? Song Lian thought it was incredible.

After Song Lian finished reading, Tuoba Ren asked, "I don't know what Mr. Song thinks?"

Song Lian frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Duan Wang wants to use this road to trade in the Western Regions, Lian is not interested in doing business. I don't know anything about it, so I won't comment on it. But what I want to say next is that since King Duan wants this place, he will definitely build a city defense pass and deploy troops to guard it."

Tuoba Ren nodded and motioned to him . Go on and on.

Only then did Song Lian say, "I'm a little worried, if this place really falls into the hands of Dayan, it will be all harm and no gain to Suixi."

Tuoba Ren's expression froze, and he paced a few times with his hands behind his back . , asked: "How do you say this?"

"Because the Suixi Kingdom was between Dayan and the Western Regions, there was no connection between the two sides. But if King Duan used the guise of trading in the Western Regions, he secretly asked the countries in the Western Regions to connect with the Western Regions. If Suixi is the enemy, wouldn't the Suixi be the enemy?"

Hearing this, Tuoba Ren paused, covered his mouth and coughed several times.

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, Song Lian continued: "If Dayan is allowed to garrison here, the terrain will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Suixi Kingdom is famous for its iron cavalry, but here, the iron cavalry is unable to play its role due to the terrain. Advantages. And if Dayan soldiers have the heart, they can invade Suixi from the Xiqi Corridor at any time. At that time, Suixi will have no defense at all, but Dayan's army will be like no one.

" Ba Ren's face had changed, he clenched his fists, his heart was agitated, and he coughed even harder.

"Hahaha... what a joke!" Someone outside laughed and pushed the door open. The two of them in the room looked up at the same time, but saw a tall figure at the door, it was Cha Chaqi.

Chachaqi returned with Tuoba Ren's defeat last time, but he did not have any dissatisfaction or complaining about Tuoba Ren, but admired Tuoba Ren.

Because he also experienced that unbelievable battle, and he still has lingering fears in retrospect. But I have to say that Tuoba Ren's coping ability is admirable.

In the face of the soldiers who were so scared that they lost their souls, Tuoba Ren brought them out by himself. If it wasn't for Tuoba Ren to make a decisive decision, the losses they suffered would be immeasurable.

Tuoba Ren's ability to lead the army is unparalleled. It can be said that as long as Tuoba Ren is in the army, the spirit of the army is there, and the centripetal force of the soldiers is there. can do this, Tuoba Ren can be said to be the number one person in Suixi, which is beyond his reach.
