Chapter 604: Xiping's Change
Nani? Liu Yin was really stunned at this time, he was slandered just now, Yao Yikang cried so sadly, just like his dead father, he didn't think about it, people really died of his father.
"Brother Xian, what is the situation?" Liu Yin asked anxiously.
Yao Yikang spoke intermittently.
It turned out to be from last autumn, Yao Kehui fell ill, and his condition became worse day by day, during which Yao Yikang returned to Xiping to visit once. Yao Kehui felt that his illness was difficult to cure, and he was afraid that he would die soon, so he planned to arrange for him to be behind him, Yao Kehui had many sons, but most of them were young, and Yao Yizhong, who later became the founding monarch of the Later Qin Dynasty, was still in infancy, and now he was qualified to inherit the throne of Xiqiang, only the eldest prince Yao Yi'an and the second prince Yao Yikang, in terms of talent and ability, Yao Yi'an and Yao Yikang were comparable, and Yao Kehui was difficult to choose.
So Yao Kehui summoned his younger brother, Yao Keli, the big head, to go back to Dayu Valley to discuss the future. It's just that he never thought that this Yao Keli had secretly coveted his Xiqiang throne for a long time, and when he saw Yao Kehui seriously ill, Yao Keli thought that his opportunity had come, so when he returned to Dayu Valley, Yao Keli secretly colluded with the bald tree function of the leader of the Xianbei people, and asked him to send troops to help seize the Xiqiang throne, and agreed that after the matter was completed, he would be rewarded with the territory of Xiaoyu Valley.
Yao Keli and the bald tree function should be combined inside and outside, the original impregnable Dayu Valley was easily broken by the Xianbei people, after the Xianbei people entered the Dayu Valley, burned and looted all the way, the bald tree function led the troops into the king's tent, and personally killed Yao Kehui, who was seriously ill, in the chaos, many princes were killed, even the eldest prince Yao Yi'an also died in the chaos, only a few princes survived and escaped from the Dayu Valley.
Yao Keli originally thought that after the bald tree function led troops to help him seize the throne, he would withdraw from the Great Elm Valley. But he didn't expect that the bald tree function not only did not have the intention of retreating, but also acted recklessly and unscrupulously in the Great Elm Valley, which made Yao Keli regret it, which made it easy to please God.
So Yao Keli sent someone to discuss with the bald tree function, preparing to pay the price of Xiaoyu Valley. In exchange for the retirement of the Xianbei people. But the bald tree function simply ignored Yao Keli's request, the fertile fields of the Great Elm Valley are the treasure land that the Xianbei people dream of, and this fat meat to the mouth, how can the bald tree function be easily given up.
As a result, Yao Keli and the Bald Tree Function competed for the Great Elm Valley, but the Qiang tribe hated Yao Keli for luring the wolf into the house and refused to help him, so Yao Keli was defeated, and the entire Great Elm Valley fell into the hands of the Bald Tree Function. Subsequently, the Bald Tree Function sent troops to occupy the Little Elm Valley. robbed all the old places of the king of Xiqiang.
Bald tree function? Liu Yin is not unfamiliar with this name, in the past two years, Hexi Xianbei has continued to harass Jincheng and Longxi, and has become the biggest disaster faced by the western counties. The bald tree function took over the position of his grandfather the bald Khotanese chieftain, and his performance was stronger than that of the bald Khotan, and in the past ten years, Hexi Xianbei has changed from small to large, from weak to strong. It has become the leading Qianghu force in Liangzhou.
But what Liu Yin didn't expect was that the Xianbei people actually invaded the territory of the Qiang people. You must know that after the Great and Small Elm Valley became the territory of the Qiang people, neither the Han nor the Hu people had the opportunity to get involved in this area again. Although it is said that Hexi Xianbei has risen strongly in recent years, when it comes to the heritage, it is still not as good as Dangqiang, and they have long coveted the big and small elm valleys. There have been several tentative attacks, but each time they have been feathered in, but how can the ambition of the bald tree be so easy to give up?
The bald tree function had been waiting for this opportunity, and even he didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly. Yao Ke, who used to crisscross the West and Liang, was sick and blind, and Yao Keli, who was plotting to usurp the throne, actually thought of luring the wolf into the house, but Yao Keli was busy, but he just made a wedding dress for the bald tree function.
Speaking of this, Yao Yikang's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and the anger that erupted from his eyes seemed to melt everything, he gritted his teeth and hissed as hard as he could...... Yao Keli...... If this revenge is not avenged, I Yao Yikang swears not to be a person! Big brother, little brother, please help! ”
At this time, the report from Xiping also came up, and the situation was the same as what Yao Yikang described, but in terms of details, it was slightly worse.
However, this is obviously not the point, the details are not important, the important thing is that Xiping was lost and taken away by the bald tree function of the Xianbei people, which undoubtedly had a significant impact on Liu Yin's plan for the west.
In this expedition to the west, Liu Yin's main goal was to target the four counties of Hexi, and Xiping County was not in his consideration at all. After pacifying Xiping, Liu Yin did not leave a single soldier or official in Xiping County, and completely handed over Xiping to Yao Kehui to govern.
This move also greatly improved the relationship between Han and Qiang, Yao Kehui was grateful, and Liu Yin also acquiesced in the establishment of an alliance, not only since then there has been no move to invade Longxi, but also sent the second prince Yao Yikang to lead 30,000 Qiang cavalry to help Liu Yin fight, in the battle with Wei for Guanzhong, Yao Yikang led 30,000 Qiang cavalry also played a big role.
A stable Qiang regime is very beneficial to Liu Yin's Yuhu plan, and the stability of Xiping County is equivalent to an insurance policy for Liu Yin's western border.
However, the strong invasion of the bald tree function into the Great and Small Elm Valley completely disrupted Liu Yin's plan and deployment, and it seemed that before attacking the four counties of Hexi, the problem of the Great and Small Elm Valley had to be solved.
Liu Yin helped Yao Yikang up with both hands and said, "People can't die again, and the virtuous brother mourns." Brother Xian, please rest assured, your revenge is my hatred, this revenge is not shared, I swear to revenge! ”
"Thank you, eldest brother, younger brother will go back and gather people and set off as soon as possible to avenge the blood!" Yao Yikang had stopped crying at this moment, the flame of hatred was burning in his heart, and at this moment he couldn't wait to send troops to take revenge.
Liu Yin nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Xian, I will go back and prepare, and lead the troops to Chang'an to gather together to defeat the Xianbei people." ”
Yao Yikang knew that his personal strength alone could not compete with the bald tree function and Yao Keli, so he could only come to ask Liu Yin to send troops to help, Yao Yikang now didn't know that Liu Yin originally had a plan to send troops to Hexi, so when he asked Liu Yin to send troops to help, he was still a little worried, for fear that Liu Yin would not agree to him.
Obviously, Yao Yikang was very happy as a result, he hurriedly said goodbye and left, and went to Huayin to order his troops and horses. (To be continued.) )
