Chapter 264 Steps

Tuoba Kui was in a dilemma at this time.

Although he had thought that the Yanmen Pass was difficult to fight, he did not expect that the degree of this difficult attack had far exceeded his imagination.

The Jin army in the city did not give them a chance to get close at all, and the power of the long-range catapult is not comparable to that of his army.

When a stone comes down, both people, horses and instruments are seriously damaged.

Strictly speaking, Tuoba Kui's strategy is the most correct. As long as Yanmen is broken, Lu Qiang will have to retreat. But this time's Yanmenguan is no longer the last time he could beat down with his encouragement.

After paying nearly 10,000 losses, Tuoba Kui had to order the army to retreat.

Youzhou has been in contact with Tuoba Kuiying, so Lu Qiangqi's news of Youzhou was quickly sent to Tuoba Kui.

At this time, if Tuoba Kui waved his army to rescue Daijun again, it was too late. I'm afraid he didn't wait for the Great Wall, and Daijun would be lost.

After the army of the State of Qin successfully arrived at the Yellow River, there was no news. I don't know whether it crossed the Yellow River or was blocked by the Jin army?

What should I do?

Tuoba Kui suddenly felt that he had failed. To sum up, he faced such a choice three times in front of the Jin army, but he had to make a choice.

Just when he was hesitant, his own soldiers came to report that people from the State of Jin came.

The emperor of the Jin Dynasty sent someone? Do you see my jokes? Isn't it that you came to negotiate again?

No matter what the person means, he must also give him some color. Tuoba Kui ordered the knife and axe hand to line up from the big tent all the time, which is murderous and has the posture of cutting it into meat mud at any time in the future.

Han Fan was not angry but happy when he saw this scene. Tuoba Kui's performance shows that he is fierce and he is probably waiting to find a step.

At present, he entered without blinking and turned a blind eye to the shy warriors around him. After coming to the tent, he held his fist slightly and said, "Han Fan, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, has seen His Majesty the Great Wei Dynasty."

Looking at the Jin Dynasty messenger who was not afraid at all, Tuoba Kui's heart surged up again and said angrily, "You are a foreign envoy, why don't you kneel when you see me? But do you think I dare not kill you?"

Han Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty kills foreign ministers, but it's as easy as twisting an ants to death, but it's a small matter that foreign ministers don't die. I'm afraid your majesty will have a big disaster."

"Hmm! Do you think a small geese gate can really block my footsteps? I just don't want to intensify the conflict with the Jin Dynasty. Let's talk about it! What did the emperor of the Jin Dynasty ask you to do?

Tuoba Kui himself didn't realize that his tone had unconsciously softened.

"Your Majesty, I just said that I don't want to intensify the conflict with my dynasty, but I also told my majesty's thoughts. The foreign minister adheres to my majesty's will. First, I don't want to have too deep grudges with your country, and even the scourge of war. In addition, my majesty is also thinking about your majesty. I think that if this battle continues, there will be someone in your parliament against you. It's not good!"

Han Fan first put on the air of a pilgrimage in front of Tuoba, and then flattered Tuoba. This affectionate performance suddenly made Tuoba couldn't get angry again, and Han Fan's last words were also on his mind.

waved his knife and axe to retreat, and ordered someone to show Han Fan a seat, and then said, "Your Majesty has the intention to repair it, so why did you force me to take Youzhou? Now I'm trapped in Dai County, and it looks like I'm going to stop the military?

After listening to Tuoba Gui's words, Han Fan's face was full of face and said solemnly, "Your Majesty's words are different. Youzhou has been the hometown of our Han people since ancient times. It was Murong who took advantage of my dynasty's weakness and forcibly took it away. Now my majesty has taken it back. It's just in accordance with the will of heaven and the people. How can you forcibly occupy your country's land?"

Tuoba Kui's rare old face turned red, because what Han Fan said is an indisputable fact, but if he admits it, won't he say that he is an aggressor?

"In Youzhou and other places, our army is not taken from the Jin Dynasty. If you settle accounts, you should also go to Murong."

After listening to Tuobai's insisting, Han Fan smiled and said, "Murong has become a sight. In the future, there will be no more place for them in the Central Plains. In fact, your majesty should see the sincerity of my majesty from the foreign minister. Ten thousand steps back, should your majesty should also think about the tens of thousands of Wei army in Daijun, right?"

After talking for a long time, this sentence came to the point, and this is the bargaining chip used by Lu Qiang to negotiate with Tuoba.

Tuobagui went south three times. Although it can't be said that he was defeated, he lost some people every time, and the population is undoubtedly the most precious for the grassland people.

A total of 100,000 horses sent to the customs by Tuoba Kui were wiped out by the Jin army. How can there be 70,000 or 80,000 troops who are now besieged in Dai County? This is definitely not a small number. If the Jin army is not too powerful, these people alone will be enough to enter the Central Plains.

So Tuoba Kui will never ignore those soldiers.

After Han Fan finished speaking, he closed his mouth. He believed that Tuoba Kui was most worried about this matter, so he had to give Tuoba Kui time to consider it.

Strictly speaking, Tuoba Kui's founding is somewhat similar to Lu Qiang. It all started from danger and created a huge empire with unrelianced self-improvement.

However, the biggest difference between the grassland countries and the Central Plains is that most of their power is composed of various tribes. Under the smooth situation, nothing can be seen in this combination, and once their interests are threatened, this combination is also prone to cracks.

Although Tuoba's court was gradually Sinicized by him, some things can't be changed. It can also be said that Lu Qiang, a butterfly, was born, and did not give him time to deepen the reform.

So if Tuoba Kui wants to continue to maintain his stable position, he must have a strong force, so he really can't afford to lose now.

After meditating for a long time, Tuobajiu took a long breath and said, "What else does your emperor want you to tell me?"

Han Fan knew that Tuobai had made a decision, and couldn't help but breathe in his heart. He smiled and said, "If you want to say that my majesty is really a rare Mingjun, he knows that if you withdraw your majesty like this, it will definitely damage your majesty, so he decided to publicize it to the outside world that our army is no match your majesty, and in order to reduce Jin and Wei The casualties of the two armies took the initiative to withdraw, so that no one will make nonsense rumors and damage your image."

Will Sima Dezong be so kind?

Tuobagui couldn't help snorting coldly and said, "I heard that your majesty has taken a lot of war horses, and I don't want to take advantage of him. Let's do this!" At this time next year, there must be no fancy for a real confrontation between the cavalry of our two armies, and I have no other requirements. If he is defeated, he must reascend Youzhou to me. On this condition, you can go and return it quickly!"

When it comes to the land, Han Fan dares not agree easily, and he knows that as far as the cavalry is concerned, no one is the opponent of the Wei army in this period. Although the Jin army's iron cavalry is also developing and progressing, he wants to create an iron cavalry that can defeat the Wei army in a year, but it is obviously not acceptable. Easy.

Han Fan wanted to say more, but was kicked out by Tuoba.

In fact, Han Fan also understands that Tuoba Kui's move is nothing more than finding a step for himself, but he really dares not make the decision on this matter. In desperation, he had to return to Yanmenguan, and then send an eagle letter to Lu Qiang to report Tuoba's attitude and requirements.

At this time, Lu Qiang and Tan Daoji's nearly 200,000 troops had already drained the water around Dai County and recovered all the nearby counties. More than a hundred years later, the flag of the Jin Dynasty was re-inserled in the city head of these places.

Originally, Tan Daoji and others did not understand the reason why Lu Qiang was besieged and did not fight. It was not until Lu Qiang said the reason why the current national strength did not allow them to fight a full-scale war with the Wei people that the generals gave up this idea.

Han Fan's letter was quickly put on Lu Qiang's desk. Previously, Lu Qiang thought that Tuoba Kui would make any unreasonable demands, but he did not expect that he would compete with his cavalry next year.

After being slightly stunned, he immediately smiled and approved a word "quasi" on Han Fan's letter

Except for a few senior generals in the Jin army, no one knows that heavy cavalry and armored infantry have been secretly equipped and trained, and a year later, these well-trained heavy mounted infantry will be sent out.

I believe that when Tuoba Kui sees the heavily armed soldiers who are armed to their teeth, I'm afraid he won't even cry.

Because of this, Lu Qiang agreed so happily.

After receiving the reply, Han Fan did not dare to delay and immediately came to Wei Jun's camp and told Tuoba Miao about Lu Qiang's reply.

Tuoba Kui knew that Lu Qiang was a trustworthy person. Since he promised to fight head-on with his own people, he would never go back on his word. I can't help but be happy. After being calculated by you so many times, I can finally find it back.

It was it was with absolute confidence in his iron horse that Tuobai dared to make such a request, because under normal circumstances, as Han Fan thought, it was almost impossible for the Jin army to train a cavalry that could compete with him within a year.

Satisfied, Tuoba Kui treated Han Fan and immediately ordered to withdraw from the army.

Almost at the same time, the Jin army around Dai County also gave way to the Wei army and let them out of the city. Then the army followed the Wei army and escorted them out of the Great Wall.

Standing on the Great Wall and looking back at the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, Tuobayi's heart was full of dullness and unwillingness, but he also vaguely realized that this was the last time he set foot on the land of the Central Plains.

Feng Zhen was also unconvinced and said to Tuoba Yi, "General, please be relieved. We will definitely come back."

Tuobayi shook his head, but did not say anything. After sighing, he raised his whip to urge the horse and left.

Shortly after the Wei army retreated, Lu Qiang, under the escort of 100,000 troops, stepped on the Great Wall again.

Standing at the highest point of the Great Wall, looking at the grassland mountains in the distance, Lu Qiang and others are all excited.

For more than 100 years, the Han people have stood in this place again. How can words describe the hardships?

After standing for a long time, Lu Qiang suddenly shouted: "Han people are powerful..."

The surrounding soldiers shouted: "The Han people are powerful, and our emperor is powerful..."

The sound shocked the mountains and spread far away...
