Chapter 992: The balance of power in the north is not broken
Hearing Wei Xiong's inquiry, Chen Zhi knew that the matter of winning Wei's was stable.
If Wei Xiong hadn't been tempted, how could he have asked such words? It's clear that they're starting to think about the way back.
So he chuckled and shook his head and said: "Where is there such trouble, if you let the spies answer it, not to mention exposing the manpower, it may not be successful, but it is necessary to make the Tuoba people vigilant, if you don't investigate, you will be harmed." ”
"Then ......" Wei Xiong was suddenly puzzled, he even forgot for a moment that this was just a temptation of his own, as if he was really about to start having a headache.
Chen Zhi didn't let Wei Xiong guess, and directly solved the mystery: "It is to negotiate with Tuoba Liuxiu through formal channels, and issue an ultimatum so that he must not prevent Wei's return, after all, there is an order from the imperial court, which can be regarded as Wei's return to his life, if Tuoba Liuxiu doesn't know what to do, he will have to settle accounts with him!" Speaking of this, Chen Zhi's eyes showed a little coldness.
Wei Xiong's heart suddenly tightened, realizing the risk of this kind of thing.
Although the time for Tuoba Liuxiu is not long, it is enough for Wei Xiong to recognize him as a person, even if it cannot be said to be narrow-minded, but it is definitely a retribution, if Chen Zhizhen informs him through diplomatic channels, it will undoubtedly confirm his Wei Xiong's defection to the enemy, and it is equivalent to slapping Tuoba Liuxiu in public, there is really no room for maneuver.
It is of course tempting to follow Chen Zhi and let Wei return to Youzhou and return to the Central Plains, but Wei Xiong does not intend to cut himself off.
But in the same way, just as Chen Zhi said, with his defeat this time, the foundation of Wei's future development in the Tuoba Department has also been shaken, even if Tuoba Liuxiu is not pursued for a while, it will be manifested in other aspects in the future.
As a disciple of the Wei family, Wei Xiong will worry about his own future, but he also has to consider the family inheritance, not to mention, the Wei family has long hoped for the return to the Central Plains, and there are some layouts.
For a moment, I was in a dilemma.
He hesitated for a moment, regardless of the presence of others, but still shook his head and said: "This move is too risky, the sixth cultivator is not a mother-in-law, this matter has touched his bottom line, maybe it will be self-defeating, he doesn't dare to do anything to the general, but he vents his anger with my Wei clan." ”
"Tuoba Liuxiu, there will be no second chance," Chen Zhi put away his smile, and a chill appeared on his face, "General Wei didn't receive the news, Wang Jun attacked me before, and the Tuoba clan saw the situation and slaughtered a lot of people who arranged me to contact in the Tuoba Department, this matter, I must be calculated with Tuoba Liuxiu, and now that Liuxiu has usurped power, even my friend Tuoba Yulu has been forced away, perversely, and all the traitors are not far away, I give him a condition, it is to give him a chance." ”
Wei Xiong sighed and said, "In this case, wouldn't it be even more dangerous if we inform the Sixth Cultivator and say that my Wei clan is leaving." ”
"That's not the case," Chen Zhi was Yaoyao's head, "Now is the best opportunity and opportunity, once you miss it, with the character of Tuoba Six Cultivators, you won't agree!" ”
Wei Xiong was stunned when he heard this, showing a puzzled look, thinking of the current situation of Tuoba Six Cultivators, and faintly understood something.
Chen Zhi said lightly: "Murong Ren injured the people of Youzhou, I chased him to the front of Thorn City, broke the city, forced Murong Diao to bow his head, Tuoba Liuxiu killed my people, can he still be good?" He knows this, now that Tuoba is in civil war, it is chaotic, and his people are only barely maintaining the balance of power, and he is most worried that I will seek revenge on him, if at this time, I make a request, he agrees? Or rejection? Or, kill again? ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiong suddenly realized, in this way, it is indeed the best node, missed, Tuoba Six Cultivation slowed down, I am afraid that the next step is to clean the inside, with the ambition of Tuoba Six Cultivation, in order to seek its power, everything can be thrown, in order to be safe, it is indeed unlikely to risk being sent by Chen Zhi to kill the Wei clan again.
It's just that Wei Xiong is also a little puzzled, is it really worth Chen Zhi to do this?
"Tuoba Six Cultivation is a person, General Wei is more familiar than me, this person is not ambitious, but he is not a madman, he did it this time not on a spur of the moment, but to see the changes in the north, seize the opportunity, I passed this word, what would he do, it can be guessed, the nobles also have nearly a hundred people in the Tuoba Department, if they rely on spies to respond, but give him a chance to solve it in private, I am afraid that there will be no seven out of ten."
Wei Xiong was silent again, then arched his hand, said no more, and followed a few escorted soldiers, and did not reply.
It's just that as soon as this person left, the staff who had been watching for a while stepped forward to dissuade him—
This one said: "Wei has been away for many years, and he has long been Hu, how can he give up this good opportunity for this reason, and raise troops to attack and conquer in order to achieve full success!" ”
That said: "Tuoba civil strife, as long as you unite with a few rebels of the Tuoba Department, you can exterminate Tuoba Liuxiu!" ”
Others said: "Tuoba kills each other, it is a good opportunity to perish, but it can be done in one go!" ”
……
There are different opinions, but the meaning conveyed is very unified, it is just a matter of not playing Tuoba, and it is necessary to waste the opportunity to pull a Wei family back, which is really a sacrifice!
Listening to everyone's discussions, Chen Zhi never said a word, and when his voice calmed down, he said slowly: "If you want to fight the Tuoba Department again, where will you draw troops?" ”
This question made many people shut up and think about their own situation.
They are all staff and chronicles of the army, they know their own situation, it was just a moment of passion before, and the recent war has been too smooth, so that they can instinctively speak, calm down and think about it, and know that the current situation in Youzhou is actually not optimistic.
"Being able to fight the Murong Department is because there are many accumulations, Wang Jun was defeated too quickly, the soldiers and horses that were originally used to deal with him have not been lost, and they can be pulled out for a turn, plus they have newly obtained a batch of surrendered troops in Yan County, and the Murong Department is not far from Yan County, these people can be used as a response, in comparison, what are the counties close to the Tuoba Department?"
"This Guangning County is an empty shelf, most of the soldiers and horses of Dai County attacked, deployed all over Youzhou, suppressed the situation, and the remaining armies were barely enough to defend the land, but if you want to attack, you don't have to think about it, and there are many battles, and then you have to recuperate, this feud can only be put first, but ......"
He slowed down his tone: "This doesn't mean that he can be happy with Tuoba Liuxiu, in my opinion, it is the most powerful for us to maintain the current situation of Tuoba Ministry, even if I have enough troops, I will not extinguish him now." ”
As he spoke, Chen Zhi sighed with emotion: "The grassland is too big, the power of a Youzhou is not enough to control, if you want to take into account Youzhou and regain the grassland, you can only have enough on both sides, besides, if the Tuoba Department collapses, there will be other tribes to fill it, considering the current situation, once Tuoba declines, Murong will inevitably take advantage, not to mention, there are Huns in the state!" ”
As soon as they heard the word "Xiongnu", everyone quieted down, and with the Zhengbei General's Mansion controlling Youzhou, the Xiongnu in the state became a problem that had to be faced.
"The Huns were happy to see me and Wang Jun confronting and fighting, so they didn't do it before, but they didn't expect that Wang Jun would fall so quickly, according to their original plan, it must be to maintain the situation that the two forces in Youzhou are fighting without breaking, and the result is that before they have time to intervene, we will already win, but this also means that in the future, the general's mansion will face the pressure of the Huns, if Tuoba is broken, where can I find a force to contain the Xiongnu in the north?"
He shook his head: "Before there is enough combat power to sweep everything, maintaining the balance of power in the Northland is an indispensable part. ”
