There is a reason why the pattern of the world has become like this, judging from the letter alone, Cao Cao is really atmospheric. People often say that a traitor is like loyalty, and a big hypocrisy is like truth, Yan Bei feels that it is most appropriate to put this on Cao Cao. The letters sent to Yanbei every year have always been warm, even if the war situation is favorable to him, he chats with Yanbei about the war situation; The battle situation was not in his favor, so he chatted with Yanbei about family life...... Let Yanbei ponder and ponder the starting point of Cao Cao's words, and this Cao Mengde, what kind of person to see, he is what kind of Cao Mengde.

If Yanbei looks at it with conspiracy, then Cao Cao's warmth throughout the article is to make him relax his vigilance, but there is sincerity in the conspiracy; But if you look at it sincerely, then Cao Cao's sprinkling letters are chatting with old friends; But if you want to say that Cao Cao has no other purpose, who believes it?

This is due to Cao Cao's character, but in addition to his character, his style of action is in line with the art of war.

Three points of virtuality, seven points of reality, between the virtual and the real is unclear. If you believe in his truth, three points of falsehood are enough to make people suffer a great loss on the battlefield; If you only believe in his hypocrisy, you really live up to Cao Cao's sincerity.

Fortunately, Yanbei is lonely.

He was really lonely, and there were fewer and fewer old friends around him, and people could no longer call him brothers. To say that he is the king of Zhao but because of this feeling is obviously too hypocritical, but there is really only a lot more loneliness, the majestic Zhao Palace is like a cage, locking the stability of the world and the comfort of Yanbei.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao are different, at least Liu Bei can't write such a letter to Yanbei like Cao Cao, the atmosphere and optimism of the princes in Cao Cao are vividly displayed, and Liu Bei is much more restrained. Cao Cao would not shy away from speaking directly about the war in his letters, and he could talk about their friendship without being surprised, but this relationship that should have been against each other was complicated in the letters, as if the war had nothing to do with the two of them when they were discussing it.

Liu Bei's letters will completely avoid war, and if he talks about friendship, he only talks about friendship. If you talk about war, you talk about things. In other words, Liu Bei is not as sincere as Cao Cao, nor is he as two-skinned as Cao Cao.

Perhaps at this moment, to use the most appropriate metaphor, Liu Bei, as a prince, is a newcomer who doesn't know what rules there are for getting along with princes, so he is cautious; Cao Cao, on the other hand, is comfortable in this rule, so he has nothing to shy away from; As for Yanbei...... Yanbei is a hooligan who doesn't follow the rules.

This is also why Cao Cao and Yanbei can talk, after all, in some ways, being able to absolutely use the rules to speak for themselves is actually similar to the appearance of absolutely ignoring the rules and going on a rampage.

Those who are sent are nothing more than unruly people who will be clamped down by everyone, and Yanbei is not afraid of being clamped.

Since the Yan clan stood in Yedu, what he did had already made his will clear to the world - the princes of the world, listen, you have been surrounded.

He alone can surround the princes of the world.

After the New Year, the snow on the northern roads melted, and the letters from the northwest border made Yanbei cry and laugh. Perhaps the news of the defeat in the central and eastern parts of Xianbei had not yet reached the Western Regions, so that the Guishan Empire, which was thousands of miles away, was dizzy, and finally could not resist Song Jian, a small person who was active in the Han, Western Regions, and Guishan borders, bouncing back and forth, and the king of the Dayue clan sent a letter of state to the Yan clan, asking Yan Zhongqing, the king of Zhao, to send troops to attack Song Jian with a slightly threatening tone, otherwise he would personally send troops to attack Song Jian in Liangzhou.

Yanbei has always lacked understanding of the Western Regions, if he was a Liangzhou person, maybe his understanding of the Western Regions would be as profound as Ma Chao's, but he was a Youzhou person, and the Western Regions were too far away from him to have the opportunity to collect enough information. So much so that Zhao had a hard requirement for the tribute of the Western Regions: if you want to pay tribute, you must first bring a topographic map.

The topographic map of the Western Regions of the Zhao Palace is like a big puzzle, and Yanbei personally combined the topographic maps of Kangju and Dawan to form this huge map. But this simple thing can sometimes be complicated to do...... Those countries in the Western Regions, each country feels that its land should not be so big, and the topographic map sent by Kangju contains a part of Dawan, and the same is true of Dawan.

And putting these maps together to leave a huge blank, to Yanbei, it seems to be the land of the Great Moon Clan.

It's very vast.

For this matter, Yanbei sent someone from Liangzhou to recruit the local celebrity Yang Fu, and after many explanations, Yanbei had a further understanding of the Western Regions. In Yang Fu's eyes, there are many reasons why Bo Tiao dared to raise troops against Song Jian. First, the Dayue clan has experienced wars in recent decades like the Han Dynasty, and even there are still wars in its country; The second is Kangju and Dawan to get rid of the fetters and pay tribute to the Zhao State. Khorasan and Khorezm also broke away from their rule and turned to the Persians who had risen to the west, which made the king of the Great Moon clan lose face.

But this is not the main reason why he wants to attack Song Jian, as far as Yang Fu knows, although Song Jian is on the border, but the king of Pinghan, who has been squatting in the head of the river for more than ten years and does not participate in the war in Liangzhou, is not a bold figure. Even though the Yan clan general Ma Chao regarded the soldiers and horses of the Dayue clan as weak soldiers, Song Jian did not dare to look at this big country that had dominated the Western Regions for hundreds of years, and he didn't even dare to do anything to plunder his borders, so he just showed off his might on the border line.

The main reason for Bo Diao's pressure on the Yan clan was that Zhao Yun led the Liangzhou army to join Ma Chao's attack on Yizhou, which caused the territory of Liangzhou to appear empty; And the main reason ...... The main reason is that Yang Fu doesn't dare to say it.

"It's about the king."

The expression on Yan Bei's face became extremely complicated for a while, what did Yang Fu mean by this? A king thousands of miles away wants to raise troops on the border, but it has something to do with Yan? It sounded like he had done something sorry for him, and Yan Bei asked, "Could it be that Gu accidentally killed his son who was studying in Handi?" ”

"Huh." Yang Fu laughed dryly, and then arched his hand: "Although it's not, it's not much different." When Dong Zhongying was in turmoil, he moved the capital and destroyed the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and the king was in power, and did not repair the temple, and also demolished the White Horse Temple in Chang'an, and forbade the monks to preach, so that the Yueshi monks returned to the Western Regions, and the exchanges between the two countries were cut off. The tribute of the Yue clan was also cut off at this time. Now that the Song Dynasty is on the border, the king of Chen Bing cannot be controlled, and the king of the Yue clan should think that the war in the Han land has reached an extremely chaotic period, so he raised troops...... And it's not surprising anymore. ”

It was only at this time that Yanbei finally understood that this threatening letter was a test to see if the Central Plains Dynasty still had the strength to restrain its people. If not, what does the wave want to do?

Yan Bei spread out his hands, he really didn't expect that these monks who listened to the Buddha were still on the mission of communicating the exchanges between the two countries in Han Land, shook his head, he asked a very strange question, and said, "Yue's country, do you eat rice?" ”
