While the queen was trying to find ways, her cousin Meng Guiyu, who she had once wanted to ask for help, was also racking his brains.
During that period of confinement, Meng Guiyu seemed to be sorting out the aftermath, but in fact, he had already exchanged letters with Ruru's new khan, Nafuzhen, several times in private.
In the letter, he listed many reasons why Ruru could not defeat Dong Damu at that time. At the end, he highlighted the hatred between Rong Suihe and Na Fuzhen, as well as Rong Suihe's prosperity, and made it clear that he did not want to defeat Dong Damu at all. Don't tolerate the sleeping crane's wrong legs!
So when Ruru invaded and her troops pointed directly at Chang'an, it was just adding insult to injury for him, and it was equivalent to helping Rong Suihe remove the obstacles to Dabao.
He advised Na Fuzhen to let go of his own side and focus on attacking the western frontier, so that he and Rong Suihe could fight it out. After each other had consumed Damu's national power, wouldn't it be unfair for Ruru to go south to the east
Bu Nao Na Fuzhen was not a fool either. Dangdong wrote back and said that Meng Guiyu used the emperor's self-respect to make Rong Suihe rise rapidly. Both of them were very young and could afford it very much!
But he was already in his fifties. Death at that age in the grassland would not be considered short-lived.
If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to pick up the sword and mount the horse in person to make achievements, why don't you wait for them to decide the male and female, the winner will dominate the country, and then turn around and kill Ruru and the already old him? !
Meng Guiyu wrote another letter, asking whether Nafu Zhen was overthinking. He had a shallow foundation and many people didn't trust him because he was young. Ru Ming seemed to be in a high position because he had an aunt who supported him! And the Queen Mother Aunt is so old that she can’t tell when she will go. By then, it’s hard to say whether she will end up in any way!
As for Rong Suihe, despite his smooth sailing and smooth flow, he seems to be the darling of heaven, but he actually has a good teacher.
But Huan Guanlan had already died at that time, so Rong Suihe had no one to rely on in the future. He wanted to continue to develop eastward so smoothly and quickly, but it was impossible!
What was most desperate for his life was that Rong Suihe's biological father had just been defeated in the war, and Ru Ming dragged his family towards the Western Xinjiang, intending to seek refuge with his youngest son.
His biological father, King Gaomi, was not an economical lamp, and he particularly disliked Rong Suihe.
That family is together, and there is no need for too much drama like engaging in intrigues in the east!
With those constraints, he wanted to continue development simply and neatly... It was difficult!
In addition to reasoning with Na Fuzhen, Meng Guiyu also didn't let go of Meng Boqin, who had betrayed the country and never forgotten him. He wrote to Meng Boqin in an affectionate tone and sent it secretly. The letter contained passionate memories. Before Meng's death, the family was as close as legs and feet, and they worked together to overcome the thorns and obstacles.
He also expressed his absolute trust in Meng Boqin. If Meng Boqin does anything, he will not consider Meng's consideration, and it is the same as treason!
Emphasis was placed on Empress Dowager Meng's esteem and longing for Meng Boqin's nephew, and she swore an oath to beg Meng Boqin to come back. Are you talking about being an undercover agent who endures humiliation
Even Queen Meng did not forget to mention the Queen's gratitude and concern for Meng Boqin's half-brother again and again.
And the Queen Mother has decided to leave Shu Zhaoyi to mother and keep the son. The caregiver of the unborn little prince has been determined to be Queen Meng. Since she is young and ignorant, she may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the young prince to ascend the throne on her own. Then look at the future of the Meng family. Obviously, except for Meng Boqin, there is really no one else who can support each other with him and continue the glory of the Meng family.
Therefore, he sincerely requested Meng Boqin to put his family first and return to Chang'an.
In addition, Meng Guiyu sent secret envoys to the grasslands and bribed Nafuzhen's officials with heavy sums of money, especially his lord Monalou, in order to persuade Nafuzhen to let the bone ruthless deer slow the attack. .
At the same time, both sides worked together, secretly contacting several hardcore men left by Dengchen Liyu from the east, and asking them to wait for an opportunity to kill Meng Boqin and others. The reason was of course revenge for Dengchen Liyu... Can Dengchen Liyu say it himself, the assassin who assassinated him, Was it sent by Meng Boqin
After all the leg play, Na Fuzhen also had a headache. When he had time, he said to him: "I heard that Marquis Chongxin was in Taiwan before. I asked about him. Is he a yellow-mouthed kid? He doesn't have a secret high school." He has the reputation of being the number one scholar, but he does not have the bravery to fight from the sea to the road. It is said that when he first joined the Forbidden Army, he was despised by the soldiers for a while... He thought that Da Mu had no one, and a mere nepotism boy could be in charge of the country. authority!"
"At that time, it seemed that this person could rise out of the chaos and seize the opportunity to rise to the top. Is there anything special about him?"
Then he asked: "Khan, do you need to agree to his request? After all, if both sides come true... we ourselves are a little bit overwhelmed? The city of Damu is not like us Ruru, it is protected by tall walls. We are used to it." If you're good at galloping, you're not that good at sieges."
"If Marquis Chongxin didn't play with those endless legs, he had no intention of actually sending troops to fight with Chang'an." Na Fuzhen shook his head and said, "After all, the purpose of sending troops to Damu this time is not Can Mi Zhen, don’t give him a chance to grow up! As for the team of Bone Ruthless Deer, they are just taking advantage of Meng Boqin and hunting for grass! "
"But now looking at Marquis Chongxin, although his rise is far less impressive than Mi Zhen, he should not be underestimated!"
"If I succeed him this time, I will give him a chance to become a secret priest in the future... It's better to be safe!"
Left and right muttered: "But the troops are divided into two groups..."
"Then there is a difference between Marquis Chongxin and Mi Zhen." Na Fuzhen said with a smile, "Although Mi Zhen is young and has not really established his roots in Western Xinjiang, he has one advantage. No. Marquis Chongxin What is incomparable is if he has a reliable direct lineage that he has cultivated himself! And if Marquis Chongxin has fully inherited the family legacy, then there will be a bright moon!"
"So if you want to kill Mi Zhen, you must defeat him with real swords and guns!"
"But Marquis Chongxin... maybe in a few years, we may have a headache!"
"At that time?"
"Just make a move to attack Chang'an, and then put him on a charge or something. Please kill him and we will retreat. Those of his followers who have taken refuge in Bu Nao for the past two months will have their heads chopped off and sent away." Come to the grassland!"
Na Fuzhen thought for a while, waved his legs and said, "I don't want to do that at that time. After all, Emperor Mu was so unlucky. At that time, Marquis Chongxin was holding on, but he was executed if he wanted to. Chang'an temporarily If you can't find someone to take charge of the overall situation, don't just welcome Mi Zhen back to the throne... Then you're shooting yourself in the foot!"
Is his attention to Meng Guiyu not as great as Rong Suihe's
At that time, he decided to dig a hole for Meng Guiyu in a few words, and then thought about how to deal with Rong Suihe wrongly: "Mi Zhen didn't stick to Yizhou?"
"That's right." Hearing this, Zuo Zuo showed a look of helplessness, "The Prince of Damu is truly worthy of coming from the sea bandits' den. He has no dignity that a clan noble should have, and he is not agitated at all! Hearing that, Our army is approaching, so the first thing to do is not to build a city to defend the country's gate, but to ask Leg Dong to pack some packages and prepare to leave... Unfortunately, he has been wrongly claiming to be sick because he was not in Western Xinjiang."
"At that time, he continued to lie, saying that he had no conscience to care about the country and the people. In fact, he was sick at that time and could not get up at all. He could not even walk without being carried. He was helpless. But I advise everyone to retreat to the Central Plains together... Judging from his appearance, do you plan to retreat all the way to Tengshan and then defend it?"
The corners of Na Fuzhen's eyes twitched when he heard those words, and he didn't shut up for a while: Has Teng Shan already left Western Xinjiang
The key is, that place is not easy to defend and difficult to attack at all!
The terrain of that damn place is like that: the vast mountains are like a giant dragon crawling and winding, stretching thousands of miles back and forth.
Tengshan is the only place that is relatively flat and can accommodate a large number of troops to pass through!
others
Even if you can leave, you can't leave like a salt smuggler.
Even before Nafuzhen imitated Sleeping Crane, he secretly expanded the smuggling route to allow large troops to pass through. But at that time, it took a long time to fix the road.
That means the entire route is probably in the southwest, which is consistent with the environment that the southern Xinjiang army is accustomed to.
As Na Fuzhen said, they have been galloping on the grasslands for generations, and they are worried about the city in the plains, let alone crossing the mountains and ridges
If you want to take a detour... With that little effort, what can't Rong Suihe do in a leisurely manner
"He knew he was outmatched, so he wanted to preserve his strength." Na Fuzhen frowned. Although Rong Suihe retreated like that, Xijiang was equal to being invincible and bleeding, but he didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart.
Because not to mention the purpose of this war, which is to seek a needle to tolerate sleeping cranes, Western Xinjiang is notoriously poor. Although the place is big, there is not much oil and water at all.
