Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2397: Northern Wei plots to attack Yuan and Mongolia

The reason why Qin Zheng sent envoys to Tuoba Wei at this time was naturally because he wanted to seek foreign aid.

Given their current situation, if they have to fight against both the Li Tang and the Qing Dynasty at the same time, it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed if they do not receive any foreign aid.

Among all the forces in the world, after counting them, there is only one Tuoba Wei left with a certain chance. Apart from Tuoba Wei on the grassland, which can be fought for, Youzhou really can't count on the other forces.

After all, at this time, the Qin government couldn't rely on Liu Bei or Yuan Shao, right?
Liu Bei was still deeply involved in the Central Plains at this time, and had not completely withdrawn from it. He still had a lot of troubles of his own! At this time, there was no possibility for him to interfere in their affairs in Youzhou!
Yuan Shao did not participate in important wars such as the Central Plains War and the Southern War. He only sent out a cavalry of Guanning. Moreover, it is said that all of them were defeated in the south, and even the clan's most famous general was defeated.

Not to mention, the two families had just fought before.

Therefore, for Qin Zheng, among all the surrounding forces, the only one that has the strength to help them out of their predicament is Tuoba Wei.

First of all, Tuoba Wei’s own strength is strong enough, and in fact, Tuoba Wei’s strength is even greater than that of the Qing Dynasty.

Secondly, although Tuoba Wei and the Qing Dynasty had once entered a honeymoon period due to pressure from the Yuan Mongols.

However, as the Qing Dynasty fell into civil strife and eventually split, Tuoba Wei finally couldn't resist the temptation and took action against the Qing Dynasty, and the relationship between the two families broke down.

At this time, the Qin government had sufficient reasons to persuade Tuoba Wei to take action.

After all, Tuoba Wei could only expand in a few directions.

At this time, the reason why Li Tang also sent envoys to Tuoba Wei was, of course, to sever the Qin regime and to find the only arm that could be invited.

Li Shimin thought that if he were Qin Zheng, he would also find a way to deal with Tuoba Wei.

Secondly, bringing Tuoba Wei into their alliance could be considered the last straw that broke the camel's back for Youzhou.

Although, if Li Tang and the Qing Dynasty joined forces, it would be more than enough to deal with Youzhou alone.

However, the resilience shown by Youzhou in this battle indeed exceeded Li Shimin's imagination.

Although according to the current trend, it is only a matter of time before the alliance between their Li Tang and the Qing Dynasty wins this war.

However, judging from the information currently received, Zhu Yuanzhang in the south may not be able to hold out for much longer. Once the war in the south is over and the Jin army is freed up, complications may arise.

Therefore, Li Shimin set his sights on Tuoba Wei, hoping to bring in such a powerful force to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Moreover, instead of allowing such a powerful force to wait and watch outside, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and not knowing when it will take action, it would be better to take the initiative to lure it in and keep everything under control.

After all, it is better to invite Tuoba Wei into the game now than to wait until they and the Qing Dynasty conquer Youzhou, when they themselves will surely suffer some losses and Tuoba Wei will then join the game.

As for the fact that sometimes the cake is so big, there will definitely be a difference between two families sharing the cake and three families sharing the cake. However, for Li Shimin, this problem is also within his tolerance.

After all, among the three families, the Qing Dynasty was the one caught in the middle. If a conflict was to break out, it would be between these two families first.

However, after that split, the current strength of the Qing Dynasty is much weaker than that of Tuoba Wei. I believe that if the Li Tang Dynasty took the initiative to help the Qing Dynasty at that time, the Qing Dynasty would definitely be happy.

But at that time, to what extent and when to help, wouldn't it be up to him, Li Shimin, to decide alone?

But what a coincidence, the envoys of these two families arrived at Tuoba Tao's territory almost at the same time, so that the envoys of the two families bumped into each other.

These two families clearly represent two different choices, but these two choices will have a profound impact on the future of Tuoba Wei. Therefore, a person like Tuoba Tao had no choice but to make a decision all at once.

Unable to make up his mind, Tuoba Zhu called Gao Yun, Yelu Helu, Wanyan Xiyin, Wang Maide, Tuoba Hong, Yuan Benxi and other advisers to discuss the matter.

The composition of each of the various forces on the grassland today is quite complex.

The internal composition of the Yuan Mongols was the most complex. There were people from the tribes they conquered during their conquests, people from the various countries in the Western Regions they conquered during their westward expeditions, and a considerable number of Han people who also joined the Yuan Mongols.

Although the internal composition of Tuoba Wei was not as complicated as that of Yuan Meng, it was not simple either.

During the process of Temujin eliminating the forces of Wanyan Aguda and Yelu Abaoji, many people from these two families fled all the way to Tuoba Tao after their respective defeats, allowing Tuoba Tao to absorb a lot of the inheritance of these two families.

In addition, a large number of Han people also joined Tuoba Wei, and some of them even occupied high positions.

And it is precisely because of these factors that the composition of Tuoba Zhu's group of advisers is very complex.

There are Tuoba Hong and Yuan Benxi from their Tuoba tribe, Wanyan Xiyin from the Southern Xiongnu, Yelu Helu from the Western Xianbei, and Wang Maide and Gao Yun who were born into the Han group.

And each of these people has his own opinion.

Wanyan Xiyin and Yelu Helu advocated simply ignoring the two families, keeping their troops in place for the time being, and watching the fight between the tigers from the mountain. When the Jin army's war in the south was over and they could free up their hands to wait for the two tigers to fight, they would wait for an opportunity to act.

When two tigers fight, one of them is bound to be injured. No matter which of the two tigers is injured, the remaining tiger will definitely not feel good.

Since they are at the side of such a tiger, they naturally have to find ways to weaken the tiger, devour the tiger's flesh and blood bit by bit, and use it to feed themselves.

Although their viewpoint is well-founded, these two groups of people have some personal grudges in their hearts when they put forward this viewpoint.

After all, these two families were both destroyed by Temujin, and many people in these two families have not yet given up their thoughts of revenge.
