Chapter 1377 Sending Letters(2/2)
At first I thought Tuoba Liwei could be considered a character, and his vision was not bad.
How did you give birth to a son who has no vision?
Moreover, he was sent to Yecheng to disgust himself.
At the critical moment of life and death, those few people who are reluctant to die are waiting for the entire clan to be wiped out? Or are they waiting to work as laborers for someone Feng?
Although he didn't know what the situation was in the west of Taihang Mountain, Sima Taifu was almost certain that there were definitely Han troops stationed in Pingcheng at this time, waiting for opportunities at any time.
If it were you, you would make the same choice.
Taking advantage of the heavy snow that blocked the communication between the grassland and Hebei, we used the Han army's elite cavalry to create a time lag.
Just waiting for the snow to melt a little, if there is an opportunity, they will sweep through the northern pass as quickly as possible.
With the speed of the Han cavalry, once Tuoba Liwei gets the news and comes with his troops, the Han army will probably be able to attack all the passes in the north in turn!
When Feng sent troops in winter, he had this idea in mind. He wanted to defeat them one by one as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, the alliance between Hebei and Tuoba Xianbei probably put pressure on Feng to make him make this choice.
Thinking of "Hedong Yihu" Guan Mou's cavalry speed when he swept through Bingzhou Hedong, Sima Yi felt a tremor in his heart.
The grassland to the north of Youzhou in Jizhou is far more suitable for cavalry warfare than Bingzhou!
He didn't want to taste the feeling of being stabbed in the back again.
"Then send more people, send more times, and you will always get it."
For the safety of his back, Sima Yi cursed secretly, but his face looked like he was thinking about the other person:
"Mr. Tuoba, I'm not just worried about Feng Thief, I'm worried about Liaodong!"
Sure enough, when Tuoba Xulu heard the word "Liaodong", his attention was immediately attracted.
There is no way, Liaodong is the territory that Taifu Sima promised to his tribe.
Although your Excellency has led the tribe to establish a foothold in Changchuan for more than 20 years, he now leads Tuoba Xianbei and has more than 100,000 people who control the strings.
But it's almost reached its limit.
Because it is too cold in the north and there is not enough food.
If the tribe wants to grow stronger, it must go west to compete with the Han Dynasty.
We must go east and capture Liaodong.
It would be best if we could go west, because there is the land of Henan (i.e. Hetao), which is simply a treasure land given to the grassland tribes by God.
But the Han Dynasty was too strong, especially Feng Wenshen, who drove out the Xianbei in the west and massacred the Xianbei in the central part.
Even Ke Bineng ended up dead.
Tuoba Xianbei can't even compete with Ke Bineng now, so how can he compete with Han?
So we can only settle for the next best thing.
Although Liaodong is not as good as Henan, it is at least much better than Beichuan.
Not only are there people there, but there is also land to grow food.
With Liaodong, Tuoba Xianbei can raise at least twice as many warriors as now.
only……
Tuoba Xulu looked at Taifu Sima with some suspicion:
"Master Taifu, what does Han's dispatch of troops have to do with Liaodong?"
Liaodong and Han are separated by Jizhou and Youzhou!
It can’t be said that the Han Dynasty wants to cross the two states of Youji and attack Liaodong this time, right?
"The Han State is indeed interested in Hebei this time, but Mr. Tuoba Lang must not forget that the Han State and the Wu State in the south are allies."
Taifu Sima said solemnly, "The Gongsun family of Liaodong has always been capricious, professing vassalage to the Wei Dynasty, and colluding with Wu State from time to time."

A few years ago, Liaodong Gongsun Yuan took advantage of the death of the late emperor and the turmoil in the country to establish himself as King of Yan and appoint hundreds of officials.
He also sent envoys to hold festivals and fake talisman seals to the Xianbei Buyao and other tribes to worship the border people and lure them to invade the north.
After explaining the relationship between the Gongsun family in Liaodong and the Kingdom of Wu, Sima Taifu glanced at Tuoba Xulu:
"As far as I know, before the Han Dynasty sent troops, Sun Quan, the leader of the Wu bandits, had already gathered a large army in Jianye."
Speaking of this, Master Sima paused, as if to give Tuoba Xulu time to digest the news.
As expected, Tuoba Xulu fell into the trap, and the look on his face suddenly became a little bad:
"Master Taifu, are you saying that the Wu people will collude with the Gongsun family in Liaodong and join forces with the Han State to attack the Wei State?"
Tuoba Xulu actually knew about the Gongsun family in Liaodong.
Because back then Gongsun Yuan also sent people to find his tribe with gifts and begged you to send troops south to invade Nan Xia.
After all, Tuoba Xianbei was the largest tribe on the grassland after Kebineng and lived in the north of Youzhou. It was impossible that Gongsun Yuan had not heard about it.
However, my lord, I can't bear to see that the Xiongnu and Tadun's followers are greedy for money and plunder the border people. Although they have gained something, their casualties are not enough to make up for it, and they have even attracted bandits, causing the people to suffer.
Therefore, Gongsun Yuan's request was naturally rejected.
When Master Sima saw Tuoba Xilu's expression, he felt a burst of contempt in his heart:
They are really short-sighted and ignorant, and deserve to be trapped on the grassland for generations, freezing to death and starving to death.
A sincere look on his face:
"This is obvious. Mr. Tuoba, think about it, if the Han Dynasty came from the west and joined forces with the Gongsun family in the north."
"Wu State has the advantage of boats. In addition to attacking from the south, it can also send boat divisions to harass the coastal areas of Shandong."
"At that time, the Wei Dynasty will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the only one we can rely on is Tuoba Xianbei."
"If your lord is not aware that the situation is so dangerous and is not well-prepared, once it is too late to rescue and Youzhou is lost, how will your ministry be able to seize Liaodong from the joint efforts of Han and Gongsun on your own?"
Tuoba Xilu was startled, stood up quickly, and saluted Master Sima:
"If I hadn't been reminded by the Grand Tutor, I would have almost missed the big event. I would have sent someone to the border immediately to urge the messenger to set off."
Master Sima took the opportunity and said:
"The grassland is covered with heavy snow and the roads are blocked. If Mr. Tuoba is short of manpower, I can also send people and horses to escort him."
Fortunately, Xia Tian, if you send people out of the fortress, you can always find Tuoba Liwei.
But in winter, if no one leads the way, who knows where Tuoba Liwei will hide from the wind and snow, or where he will cut ice in the water to catch fish and shrimps?
When Tuoba Xulu heard this, he hesitated for a moment and finally nodded:
"Then I'll thank you in advance."
He had never thought about going out to deliver messages in winter. He was not prepared, and the manpower at his disposal was not necessarily sufficient.
