In fact, Cui Hong and Cui Hao had some intentions of becoming friends with Zhang Jian. They defected to Wei Feng and were latecomers. They were not as good as Wang Xie and other clans. They obviously lost the opportunity. If they wanted to regain their disadvantage, they had to find ways to bring it back. The young daughter is married off, and the other thing is to look for help! Although Zhang Jian is called a personal guard and is ostensibly a servant of Wei Feng, if Wei Feng becomes emperor in the future, he will inevitably become the commander of the Forbidden Army. Although the rank of the Forbidden Army is not as high as that of the generals who are fighting abroad, they can Who are the Imperial Guards? Those are the people Wei Feng trusts the most! After several days of running on the run, they believed that they and Zhang Jian could be regarded as friends in times of need, if not sympathies. This friendship could not be abandoned under any circumstances. This rest lasted until the early morning of the next day. Except for the guards who had to be on guard, everyone including the coachman had a good sleep. They were not in a hurry in the next few days and could travel hundreds of miles in a day. Heading towards Ji Xing at a fast speed. The chariots and horses are still on the way, Jiang Xuan has led 30,000 light cavalry to Linping City. This is the first time that the Jin Dynasty has arrived outside the Great Wall in the form of an army since its southern crossing. Especially this city was once the capital of the most powerful country, Liu Lao. In the far north, he led his army to the vicinity of Ye and was completely wiped out there. It was between 35 and 36 degrees north latitude, and the latitude of Pingcheng was a little over 40 degrees north latitude. This day is Yi September 27, the fourth year of Xi! Tuoba Si received the news and immediately climbed to the top of the city. Although he had been informed by the imperial guards who had fled back that the Jin people might come to attack Pingcheng, he still felt sad in his heart when he looked at the 30,000 elite cavalry under the city. Full of shame! This is the fifth day since ancient times that he ascended the throne as emperor. The person who became emperor and perished faster than Huan Xuan, but Huan Xuan was beaten to the door of his house on the fifth day, right? With a livid face, Tuoba Si turned around and asked: "How many troops and horses are there in the city? How many Dingkou? How many private troops are there for the princes and below?" Tuoba Qu, the meritorious general and Marquis of Yuancheng, pinched his fingers and said "Including the imperial army, there are 25,000 troops in Pingcheng, nearly 30,000 men aged 15 to 50, and the private armies of princes and below cannot be counted, but I think it will not be less than Fifteen thousand!" "Okay!" Tuoba Si said bitterly, "If I can recruit an army of 70,000, what's the point of fighting against the Jin army?" Tuoba said. Qu quickly advised: "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush. Recruiting young men to join the army will definitely not take three or two days. According to my estimate, it will take at least five days. What's more, although I, the Tuoba clan, have dismounted to serve the people and mounted to join the army, but Since the late emperor moved the capital to Pingcheng, he has deliberately broken up the organizational structure among the tribes. If he rushes out of the city to fight, the formation may be inconsistent and the orders may be inconsistent. It will take at least half a month to practice military formations and recruit princes and other officials. The following private troops still need to be mobilized by Your Majesty personally, which will take several days. Now we can only send out 20,000 troops to fight out of the city. I heard that the Jin army has powerful bows and crossbows, and our army is fighting with a small number. If not. If the enemy is attacked by the enemy and enters the city with its tail, I am afraid the consequences will be disastrous. Your Majesty, look again. The Jin army is pure cavalry and does not carry any siege equipment. It is obviously just a forward. It will take at least half a month for its main force to arrive. , so we only need to defeat the Jin army in the city within half a month, so that our great Wei Dynasty can be safe. Please be patient, Your Majesty!" Tuoba Si thought for a while and said: "It's too embarrassing for the Jin people to force us. After attacking, I fought a decisive battle with him under Pingcheng. I sent an edict to Anyang (the land of Zhao during the Warring States Period, on the north bank of the Yellow River in Ordos, northwest of Yulin, Shaanxi Province today) to congratulate him, and asked him to lead the Helan tribe to come to the rescue. If the Jin people were defeated, I allowed him to do so. Gather all the Helan tribes! " Tuoba Qu was shocked. The reason why Tuoba Gui was able to establish the country was because two tribes played a decisive role. One was the Dugu tribe and the other was the Helan tribe. When Tuoba Gui was weak, He was led by his mother Helan to defect to the Dugu tribe, but was forced by Liu Xian, the leader of the Dugu tribe, and had to flee to the Helan tribe. Later, with the help of the Helan tribe, he sent troops to destroy Liu Xian and forced the Dugu tribe to surrender. He is the main leader and has established a foundation since then. At this time, the relationship between Tuoba Gui, the Helan tribe and the Dugu tribe was still an alliance, with Tuoba Gui as the leader. However, after Tuoba Gui succeeded to the throne, the two forces gradually became stronger, and in turn, Tuoba Gui became the leader of the alliance. Tuoba Gui posed a threat, so Tuoba Gui temporarily formed an alliance with the Murong clan and jointly attacked the Helan tribe and the Dugu tribe, with the Dugu tribe being destroyed first. In the fifth year of his reign (AD 390), Tuoba Gui and Murong Lin jointly attacked the Helan and Gaoche tribes in Yixin Mountain. Later, Tiefu Liu Weichen attacked Helan again, forcing the Helan tribe to surrender to the Tuoba clan. , the next year, there was internal strife in the Helan tribe. Yan Guolan Khan defeated He Ranqian in Niudu, and Murong Lin defeated He Ne in Chicheng. He killed tens of thousands of his tribe, and the Helan tribe became even more declining. When the Helan tribe came to protect the country, the tribesmen were forcibly dispersed and settled in separate areas. They did not listen to migration. The rulers and elders all registered households together. At this time, the Helan tribe had been split into three parts, and some of them were naturalized as Wei people. Another part became naturalized as Yan people, who are now the subjects of Wei Feng, and some went to Anyang in the northwest, reluctantlyMaintaining the tribal form, it was this branch that Tuoba Si wanted to recruit. This also means that Tuoba Gui's dispersion policy has completely failed, and the Helan tribe is in danger of resurrecting and growing stronger again, but the country is about to perish, so how can it control so much? Tuoba Qu could also understand Tuoba Si's helplessness. After sighing secretly, he cupped his hands and said, "I will write an edict immediately and your Majesty will seal it and send it out." Tuoba Qu nodded and said, "Let's go, follow me back to the palace. "" Since there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, Jiang Xuan certainly would not attack the city hastily. The entire army drilled troops and horses during the day and got into sleeping bags at night. However, the herdsmen in the city were full of hatred and could not leave the city. Sheep shepherding, and secondly, the last plan to harvest forage before the severe winter came was in vain. Tuoba Si seized all the time to mobilize urgently, and at the same time eagerly looked forward to reinforcements from the Helan tribe! It is 1,500 miles from Pingcheng to Anyang, and at the speed of a light horse running five hundred miles a day, it will take three days at the fastest to arrive. He Hu then convened the various ministers to discuss, even if the rescue decision can be made within one day, It took two or three days of preparation to send troops, plus the time spent on the road, which meant that it was impossible for the Helan tribe to arrive within half a month. The entire city of Pingcheng was turned into a military camp. In Ji, on September 28, Xiang Mi led his army back and captured nearly 53,000 people in Dingkou, Wandu, including nearly 30,000 women under 30 and 40 There are less than 10,000 adults below, and the rest are boys and girls under the age of twelve. The elderly are abandoned and left to fend for themselves. It can be seen that Goguryeo is finished, even if there are several other peninsulas and Liaodong. The city still has some residual strength, and it can only be annexed by the surrounding tribes. Unfortunately, Gao Tande was not caught, but Wei Feng is not afraid that Gao Tande and Feng Ba will create another monster. The two of them have no strength at all. They might be killed by their subordinates before being killed by barbarians such as Su Shen and Kumo Xi. You must know that the Hu people do not pay attention to loyalty, filial piety and etiquette, and they speak nakedly with their fists. The Cui family arrived at Ji on September 30th. Wei Feng went out of the city to greet them personally. He held a banquet that night and also brought Cui Hong's two other sons Cui Jian and Cui Tian and their wives over early. The banquet was On the way, everyone in the Cui family was willing to welcome her, and Wei Feng also wanted to appease her, but they didn't pay too much attention to Cui Hong's young daughter. After all, Cui Hong didn't express it, and he didn't expect that she would have any plans for marriage. After drinking for three rounds, Wei Feng bowed his hand to Cui Hong and said, "Cui Gong has worked so hard on the boat and carts that he should have had a good rest for a year and a half. However, the general is short of manpower, there are many facts, and the states under him are newly attached. Complete naturalization, with my current strength, I really have more than enough ambition but not enough power. Fortunately, Cui Gong and Boyan came to solve the immediate problem of this general. Cui Gong is knowledgeable, honest, calm, and experienced. He is a talented person in the country, so I want to temporarily aggrieve Cui Gong and ask the court to be the governor of Youzhou. I wonder what you think?" Cui Hong was extremely excited for a moment. He had already learned that Wei Feng had Yu Ji to establish his capital. He didn't understand the plan at first. Wouldn't it be good to build in Luoyang and Chang'an? It was only after Cui Hao's persuasion that I learned about Wei Feng's ambition, which was to wipe out the barbarians in the north and use the capital to suppress the fortunes of the tribes north of Yanshan Mountain so that they would never stand up again! Cui Hao agreed with Wei Feng's ambition with both hands. He was young and energetic, and had been compared to Zhang Liang since he was a child. Naturally, he wanted to do a vigorous career. What's more, as a wealthy family in the north, he sincerely hoped that Wei Feng would take over the capital. It is better to settle in the north, although it is a little farther north than to settle in Jiankang, the capital! The future governor of Youzhou, in the past, was equivalent to the governor of Sizhou or the governor of Yongzhou. In Jiangdong, he can also be compared to the governor of Yangzhou! Cui Hong quickly saluted and said: "Since the general has entrusted you, I have the audacity to accept it." "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Cui. Come, please drink this cup!" Wei Feng raised his glass in toast, and everyone at the table had another glass of wine. After eating, Cui Hao thought for a moment and asked, "General, will you lead the army to conquer Pingcheng soon?" Wei Feng nodded and said, "Originally, I planned to send troops next spring, but Tuoba Gui's unexpected death is a rare opportunity. I heard It is said that the ruler of Wei, Tuoba, loved Confucian scholars, was fond of reading historical biographies, and collected classics. He should be consistent with ancient meanings, possess both civil and military skills, and be wise, tolerant, and unfailing. Such a person will surely win the hearts of the people, and the Wei state will expand. Since Ba Gui took the cold food powder, people's hearts have gradually become dispersed, and various tribes are ready to take action. The reason why I defeated the Wei State three times was first of all because the military tactics and tactics were better than those of Tuoba Yi and Mu Chong. On the other hand, with Tuoba Gui's lack of enterprising spirit has a lot to do with it. Striving for the top spot in the world is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Tuoba Gui will become rich if he loses his enterprising spirit, and his country will gradually decline. But Tuoba Si is different. I dare. I am sure that as long as he is given three or two years, he will definitely reorganize the various forces in the Wei State and form a powerful fighting force, so I will defeat Pingcheng sooner rather than later!"
