147. Chapter 147

"What news?" Ming Yu asked.

He was very curious, what news was worth letting Xie Yixiu take a trip in person. However, looking at Xie Yixiu's attitude, it should be no small matter.

They also knew that the Yi people's royal court was actually not monolithic. After the death of the old Khan, the two armies on the left and right fought each other for power and profit.

Tuoba Ren once belonged to the left army forces. He had the ability and courage, and he was unable to breathe under the pressure of the right army a few years ago. In general, the left army forces can be said to be more and more prosperous.

"Tuoba Ren resigned from all the important positions in the Zuobu Army after he went back, and now he has the name of King Hunle and has become a real idle prince."

Rather than saying that Tuoba Ren resigned from his position, it was better to say that he was being Helpless, Tuoba Ren, Ming Yu, also knew about it. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy can win a hundred battles. Therefore, as the first warrior of the Suixi Kingdom, their enemies always have to understand his temperament before they can fight against them.

"Isn't this good?" Ming Yu wondered, this was obviously good news, but why did Xie Yixiu look solemn.

However, Xie Yixiu shook his head, "It's not that simple. The Zuobu is now the dominant family, and Tuobahong named Helianbo the King of Liangu. We can't take Helianbo lightly."

"Helianbo?" Ming Yu knew this person. This person was not weak in the barbarian army. He used to follow the old Khan King and also made great contributions. He is an ambitious guy. meaning.

Ming Yu walked a few times, went to a Tuoba Ren, and came to a Helianbo. Is this good or bad?

In fact, he only hoped that the barbarians would be safe, don't come here to cause trouble, give him some time, and when he completes the defense measures of the Xiqi Corridor, he won't have to be afraid of them.

"That's right, Helianbo is a man of great military exploits, and he is also a well-known figure in the Suixi country. Now that the Helianbo family in the Suixi country is the dominant one, it's really hard to sleep or sleep."

If Helianbo advocated going east to Dayan , it's a little troublesome. Before, Helianbo had been expanding territory on the western front, and he had no time to control the eastern frontier. Now he controls the complete left army, which is more than half of the main army of Suixi, and the western front has almost surrendered. When he slowed down, he would naturally target Dayan. This is different from Ming Yu's plan. As a result, Ming Yu's plan to build the Xiqi Corridor will be even more difficult.

"What about Tuoba Ren? He is willing to abdicate to become a virtuous person? Is this impossible?" Ming Yu frowned, Tuoba Ren was not a concessional person, but in this way, Tuoba Ren couldn't win?

If Tuoba Ren could compete with Helianbo, they might still be able to benefit. Of course, you can't put your hope entirely on the enemy.

Thinking about it too, the last time Tuoba Ren led the army here, the goal was himself, but the mission was not completed, and he was going to return after losing his troops. Of course, he had to have some attitude. Helianbo took this opportunity to launch an attack. Tuoba Ren knew how to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

But Tuoba Ren gave in like this, causing the Helianbo family to dominate, which was not good news for Dayan. If Helianbo didn't hold back, then what about Liangzhou, which had just recovered its vitality, if Helianbo was overwhelmed by the army for the sake of military exploits?

But if they were fighting for power internally, they wouldn't have so much time to work together externally.

Xie Yixiu said, "Tuoba Ren hasn't done anything

at the moment, but did the lord forget someone?" Ming Yu was taken aback, looked at Xie Yixiu, and asked in doubt, "Forgot someone?" He patted his forehead, and suddenly said, "You mean Song Lian, who is treasonous?"

Xie Yixiu nodded with satisfaction, "Exactly."

"Now that Tuoba Ren is out of power, didn't he climb higher?" Ming Yu asked.

Xie Yixiu shook his head, "It is reported that he has never shown signs of switching to others. It seems that Tuoba Ren is quite valued."

Ming Yu clicked his tongue twice, "I thought he was an unscrupulous person, and did not easily abandon the righteous master. It makes people look at him."

Xie Yixiu said in disapproval, "This is exactly what he is brilliant at, but the lord doesn't think about what Song Lian's identity is. In the territory of the Yiren, he has to look at others if he wants to climb the high branches. Do you need him?"

Xie Yixiu came to the point, Song Lian is a southerner, who can trust him after defecting to the enemy country? Even if he abandons the chess piece Tuoba Ren, it is impossible for him to have a bright day.

Therefore, Song Lian is smart because he can read people's hearts. If he stays and helps the fallen Tuoba Ren to regain power, then his value will be fully reflected. In the future, not only will he be able to gain Tuoba Renxin, but he will also be able to live in Suixi National.

"So, I'm afraid the situation in the King's Court of Suixi is not so simple?" Ming Yu sat down, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "So, you are afraid that Tuoba Ren will have something wrong. Come out? But then again, he really made a fool of himself, and it should be them who are the ones who have the headache, right?"

"Tuoba Ren's ability is beyond doubt, we can't underestimate him, if he regains power, the borderlands How can we find peace?"

This is quite right, with Tuoba Ren's temperament, the losses he suffered last time must be recovered, so there will be no peace in the borderlands.

Ming Yu tapped his fingers on the table, frowning tightly, "Helianbo is not easy to be with, so Tuoba Ren who can force him to retreat temporarily and swallow his voice is not an easy task. If two tigers fight, one will be hurt. , In this way, it will only weaken their power, right?"

Xie Yixiu's lips curled slightly and shook his head, "It's not that simple, the lord should know that the real power of Suixi is divided into two parts? How could Tuoba Ren make it? If something detrimental to the strength of the Suixi country comes, or else it would not have to face Helianbo's advance and give way."

Ming Yu suddenly slammed his palm on the table, and said in surprise, "You mean, Tuoba Ren has Maybe give up the forces of the left, and thus adopt detour tactics to gain the forces of the right?"

Xie Yixiu nodded, "It's not impossible."

"However, Tuoba Ren had a disagreement with the general of the right, Wang a few years ago. There is a gap. Although the king of the right army is old, the right army has been at the disadvantage for so many years but has not fallen, which proves that he still has some ability. Although the left and right sides fought fiercely, although the right army was at a disadvantage, In fact, he has also preserved his complete strength, and this is all due to the great general king. Tuoba Ren wants to plan the right forces, can the general king agree?"

Ming Yu's doubts are precisely the current situation of Suixi Kingdom at this stage. understand very well.

"In my opinion, the weakness of the right army is not entirely due to external pressure." Xie Yixiu said very calmly.

Ming Yu was curious about Xie Yixiu's point of view, so he listened to him, "Oh? Let's talk about it."

Xie Yixiu didn't give a shit, and directly expressed his thoughts, "The general of the right army, Wang, is very old, and he is under his command. There are no outstanding characters . The only son, Chachaqi, had also fought with us before. He was reckless, arrogant and conceited. Therefore, I have reason to guess that the Great General Wang endured humiliation and shouldered the burden and retreated step by step, in order to preserve his strength. "

Xie Yixiu's analysis is very reasonable, Ming Yu nodded again and again, which explains why the forces of the right army have become more and more transparent in recent years.

"However, Tuoba Ren has the ability and courage, and the right army lacks this. If the two sides intentionally contact each other, there may not be no cooperation. Even if there has been a gap, it can always be clearly distinguished by comparison. "

Yeah! There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Xie Yixiu's analysis is reasonable. If this is the case, Tuoba Ren is in control, and as long as he finds out about the Xiqi Corridor, he will obstruct the plan to build the Xiqi Corridor. How to deal with it then?

"Is it possible to provoke a battle between the left and the right, and let them fight within each other, and have no time to take care of our side?

"Ming Yu is worried, Xiqi Corridor must not be lost. Today's Xiqi Corridor has just started, like a newborn child, it is easy for the Yi people to strangle it in the cradle. Although the open and secret battles continued, but they did not dare to put it on the bright side. This is the so-called discord between the face and the heart. Although there is a difference between you and the weak, the forces of the two sides are always equal, and it is impossible to completely suppress the other side. It is this way that the Khan king of the barbarians will be at ease. "

Ming Yu understands the twists and turns. After all, it's just the way of the emperor's restraint. If the two forces work together to form a rope, then the ruler, the king of Khan, should sleep. In the same way, if the family is dominant and there are no constraints, the king of Khan will still not be relieved.

It is also for this reason that since the establishment of Suixi, the two armies on the left and the right have been vitally important to exist. So it can be inferred from this. , Tuoba Ren's success in winning the right army is very large.

At least the current Khan King couldn't just watch the right side slump. Tuoba Ren was the King Khan's younger brother, and Tuoba Hong would definitely push him. With all these factors added up, if Tuoba Ren is in the upper position, Ming Yu should really be worried.

"Then what should I do?" Ming Yu rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, but unfortunately, they couldn't control the situation of the Suixi King Court. It would be great if they could have their people and muddy the water and ruin Tuoba Ren's plan.

Time waits for no one, he has to hurry up and put the preventive measures in place for the Xiqi Corridor first. At least one must build the pass first, so that the enemy cannot break through it, and guard the Xiqi Corridor, so that one can relax somewhat.

"We still have to prepare in advance. We can't be in a passive position. It takes time for Tuoba Ren to fight for power in the royal court, and we have to speed up." Xie Yixiu said softly.

That's the only way it can be at the moment. In this way, additional manpower has to be dispatched to build the Xiqi Corridor. There is also a problem with materials. At present, the construction of city gates is almost all made of glutinous rice mortar, glutinous rice slurry, quicklime and sand in proportion. However, Liangzhou lacked materials, even food for people, and there was simply not enough glutinous rice milk.

Ming Yu thought of using cement instead, but the people in the craftsmanship are still in the process of researching the formula, and they don't know if there is any progress now. It seems that he has to go to the craftsmanship again.

"I know this, but you also know that this is a big project, and it can't be completed overnight."

Ming Yu's anxiety Xie Yixiu saw in his eyes, he felt a little distressed, and all the burden was on him alone. No need to think about how much pressure he was under.

He stood up, came to Ming Yu, knelt down halfway, looked up at Ming Yu, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will keep Liangzhou safe."

Ming Yu helped him up and smiled: "Okay, let's join hands, What if the barbarians come? Just blast them back. Now we swallow our anger, and when the climate in Liangzhou is perfect in the future, we will go straight to Huanglong and overthrow their royal court."

Xie Yixiu held his hand with his backhand, Ming Yu twitched twice but did not pull it out. He was tightly wrapped by his powerful big hand. Ming Yu's face flushed, and he didn't dare to look at him, so he could only look down.

There was a smile in Xie Yixiu's eyes, he hugged him in his arms, and whispered in his ear, "Yeah!"

Ming Yu's heart suddenly settled down, and all the complicated and chaotic things were thrown aside. it is good.
