Every ethnic group, or every collective, has the right to survive and the right to survive, but when the interests of the two ethnic groups coincide, there will be fierce contradictions.

This contradiction, without bloodshed, is not enough to calm down.

For the nomads in the north, this is a big gamble, the bet wins a lot of money, everyone lives a good life together, as for the gamble to lose, it is nothing more than the death of a little people, anyway, the Han people will basically not go out of the customs, and they will not really beat them to the point of extinction, and the death of a little person can also reduce the burden of the ethnic group, so that the food that is not enough to eat is enough immediately.

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

Since ancient times, the agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization of Zhuxia have been colliding for thousands of years, and both sides have won and lost.

Now, the Xianbei Department has been unified for four years, the population is expanding rapidly, and the strength is gradually becoming stronger, this ethnic group that was driven outside the pass by Ye Sheng is no longer the Xianbei nobles who couldn't lift a knife and couldn't get on a horse more than forty years ago, and at this time, there was no old general with a big gun in the pass, and even no one in the Ye family was in Jimen Pass at this time, and the famous Li Taifu was unable to move by the Great Jin Dynasty court over there.

No matter what the point of view, there is no reason for the Ubun Department to be honest anymore.

Just like Li Xin in the southwest, driven by collective interests, the Ministry of Yuwen will sooner or later make a move against the Great Jin, which is the consensus of Li Xin, Zhao Jia and others, and the difference is only when the fight starts.

Sitting in the tent, Yu Wenzhao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then stretched out his hand to summon a strategist under his command, and said: "Let's check in detail, who is the new Zhenbei general in Jizhou City from the Ji family's court, and then check what his preferences, interests, or shortcomings are, try to be as detailed as possible." ”

Yuwen Zhao's strategist surnamed Fan Mingcheng, is a Han Chinese, is in his forties this year, was originally a person in the Great Jin Dynasty, smart since childhood, praised as Wang Zuozhicai, at the age of eighteen, he was lifted by the people, but after a long time of trying, Fan Cheng was ruthless, and simply went out of the customs to join the Yuwen Department, and became a staff member of Yuwen Zhao's side.

In recent years, Yuwen Zhao has integrated the Yuwen Department, called the Great Jin Dynasty court, was named the king of Yan, and explored the frontier landforms, most of the ideas came from Fan Cheng's hands, and Yuwen Zhao also trusted him very much, and most of the big and small things in the king's tent were handed over to Fan Cheng to take care of.

Fan Cheng stood behind Yu Wenzhao with his hands down, bowed his head and said: "Great King, this Zhenbei general sent by the imperial court to Jizhou, his subordinates have asked people to check, although there is no too detailed information, but it can be found out that this person is the clan of the Ji family, the eldest son of the Duke of Yue, and the uncle of the son of heaven of the Ji family in terms of seniority." ”

"Clan."

Yu Wenzhao frowned slightly: "If it's the Ji family, it's not easy to do." ”

No matter what kind of official it is, as long as they do what they like, they can always get close, and there is a possibility of rebellion, but the Ji family is different, the imperial court is originally theirs, and it is unlikely that they will betray the country and get involved with the Xianbei people anyway.

Fan Cheng bowed his head respectfully: "Don't worry, the king, my subordinates will go to investigate this person in detail, and after a month, send it to the king's table." ”

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

"That depends on where the king starts fighting."

Fan Cheng frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Yunzhou City is full of species of people inside and out, and it is strict in governing the army, and it is deeply trusted by the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

After a pause, he continued: "If the king attacks Jimen Pass, the odds of victory will be higher, but even if the Ye family is not in Jimen Pass, the Zhenbei Army is also the army they have brought for decades, and if the king wants to attack Jimen Pass, he will also suffer heavy losses." ”

Fan Cheng lowered his head and said slowly: "According to his subordinates, if the king wants to enter the customs and restore the great cause of the Great Zhou, the best way is to contact that Taifu Li. ”

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

"I've seen Li Changan, with his temperament, most of them won't cooperate with us, but I've already asked Di'er to go south to find him, if he can nod, this matter will naturally be easy to do, if he refuses to nod, then there is no way."

Yu Wenzhao's face was solemn, and he said: "No matter what, at the beginning of spring, we must think of ways to enter the customs, otherwise in the next winter, there will be old people and children in our department starving to death." ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't get in, if you die a little bit, you can save some food, it's better than starving together."

Fan Cheng squinted his eyes and smiled.

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

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

"How so?"

Fan Cheng's face was as usual, and he said indifferently: "According to the information collected over the years, that Mrs. Li has at least built an army of more than 100,000 people in the southwest, so many troops, I don't know how much it costs to raise them, the king will not think that he Li Chang'an is raising and playing, right?" ”

"This person is definitely an ambitious person, once you enter the customs, the king, he will most likely take the opportunity to rebel and overthrow the world of the Great Jin."

Fan Cheng said slowly: "This is your chance, the king, and it is the only chance for him Li Changan, as long as he is a smart person, he will definitely grasp this golden opportunity." ”

Yu Wenzhao frowned deeply, he sat on the chair and thought for a long time, then looked up at Fan Cheng.

"How sure is Mr. Fan's words?"

"The subordinates are not sure."

Fan Cheng shook his head and said: "My subordinates are not fortune tellers, and I can only analyze the situation to the king little by little, but as the king said, no matter what the time is, after the beginning of spring, our department will have to fight with the imperial court, since this is the case, there is no need to think about it so much, after the fight, just wait for the news from the southwest." ”

"If Taifu Li also rebels, then the king can take this opportunity to go south and restore the homeland of the Great Zhou."

"If Taifu Li didn't respond to the king, then the king could only go to the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty to grab some grain and come back to support the tribe."

Yu Wenzhao nodded.

"That's what Mr. Fan said."

"In that case, then I have to seriously consider how this battle should be fought."

Yu Wenzhao's eyes were half-squinted, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"If our department can take Jimen Pass in a short period of time, I think Li Chang'an, who is far away in southern Xinjiang, should cooperate with our department and besiege the capital when he receives this news."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenzhao didn't say any more, he looked in the direction of Jizhou City, and then sighed slowly: "There are 100,000 Zhenbei troops." ”

"Even if it is really gnawed down, among the besieging people, I don't know how many people will be left......"
