Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 472 Tuoba Tao: Prepare for war!

The capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Pingcheng.

"What the hell is Liu Yizhen doing?"

Yes.

If there is anyone in this world who cares about Liu Yizhen the most, Tuoba Tao himself said that he is the second, and no one would dare to be the number one.

Now, the first thing Tuoba Tao does when he wakes up every morning is to ask Zong Ai, an internal official beside him: "Is there any news about Liu Yizhen?"

Until he got specific information, Tuoba Tao would go to wash, eat, and even continue to spend a while with the concubine in the bed...

So now he knows all about what happened in Liu Song's country, but if there is any major event, he will never be able to hide it from him.

"Hetao."

"East China Sea."

"Humph!"

The reason why Tuoba Tao is so sensitive cannot be entirely blamed on him.

It is true that these places are too great a threat to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although Pingcheng and Liu Song's Jinyang are close, at least there is Yanmen Pass, a well-renovated pass that separates the two countries.

But now that the Hetao has fallen into the hands of Liu Song, the Song army can come out of the clouds at any time and directly stab the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

If Liu Song's cavalry hadn't been formed yet, Tuoba Tao guessed that Liu Yizhen would have wanted to do this a long time ago.

A wave of waves has risen again.

Tuoba Tao has not yet figured out how to deal with the Hetao matter, and now Liu Song's arrangement in the East China Sea has also made Tuoba Tao start to get nervous.

Because of the loss of Hebei, the main grain production area in the Northern Wei Dynasty is now the Liaoxi area in the east.

It is adjacent to the sea, so there is no guarantee that Liu Song will not attack from the sea in the future.

The Northern Wei Dynasty's combat power on land was enough to fight Liu Song's arm, but at sea...

Except for a few fishing boats that can wander in the offshore, Tuoba Tao himself doesn't know what else can go to the sea.

"Go and invite Xiangfu to discuss matters."

As Liu Song wiped out the summer, Cui Hao has become Tuoba Tao's only life-saving straw. It has become Tuoba Tao's daily routine to discuss matters with Cui Hao and ask Liu Yizhen about his current situation.

"His Majesty."

Compared with a few years ago, Cui Hao has a lot more gray hair on his temples.

Moreover, although the Northern Wei Dynasty promised Liu Song to take the title of Emperor himself, Cui Hao still called Tuoba Tao "Your Majesty" in China, as if this would add a bit of orthodoxy to Tuoba Tao.

"Father, no courtesy."

In recent years, Tuoba Tao has become more powerful and powerful, but his attitude towards Cui Hao has never changed.

"Father Xiang, the news came from Liu Song. Liu Yizhen opened the Donghai Governor's Mansion in Donghai, and sent Xie Hui to Donghai. What does Xiangfu think about this?"

East China Sea.

Xie Hui.

Compared to the previous one, Cui Hao obviously cared more about Xie Hui.

"Liu Yizhen actually sent Xie Hui there."

Cui Hao's unsmiling face was actually a bit dignified.

"Father Xiang thought Xie Hui shouldn't be sent there?"

"Of course not."

"Since Wang Hongyin retired, Xie Hui has been the pillar of Liu Song's aristocratic family. It is really strange that Liu Yizhen has moved him out of the court hall."

Although Cui Hao doesn't take Liu Yizhen into his heart like Tuoba Tao, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about Liu Song's situation.

"Now that Liu Yizhen has just destroyed Xia, the national strength is weak. It is time to recuperate and maintain stability. How can we let Xie Hui go to the East China Sea at this time."

For a moment, Cui Hao suspected that Liu Yizhen threw Xie Hui into the East China Sea to prepare for the battle.

But obviously, there are too many more suitable people in the territory of Liu Song. Even if one of Wang Zhen'e, Zhu Lingshi, and Tan Daoji is not thrown out, there are still a lot of people who can be used.

It turned out that it was Xie Hui who came out, Cui Hao was puzzled by such an approach.

Even Cui Hao couldn't figure it out, and Tuoba Tao, who was less sensitive to politics, naturally couldn't figure it out even more.

But Tuoba Tao didn't care either.

He just wanted to figure out one thing——

"Father Xiang thinks, is it time for us to counterattack Liu Song?"

war!

Only war is the only way for Tuoba Tao and Tuoba Tao to survive!

After Liu Song just fought Hu Xia, Tuoba Tao thought about taking the opportunity to launch a war.

But at that time, almost all of Liu Song's main forces were in the cloud, and he had just won the victory. If there was a real fight, Tuoba Tao's chances of winning were very small.

Now that Liu Song's army has retreated and lost the vigor that had just destroyed Hu Xia, it is a good time to counterattack Liu Song!
Tuoba Tao is a sensible person.

Liu Song must not be allowed to recover from the previous war.

Liu Song, who occupies the essence of the Central Plains and seems to be extremely martial arts, has really recovered. The other small countries around... especially the Hu people who enslaved the Han people are about to come to an end.

He Lianbo probably thought so too, so he desperately wanted to attack Hanzhong, forcing Liu Yizhen to give up Guanzhong and even the north.

But it is a pity that Helian Bobo not only fell short of his success, but also gave up his life's foundation.

In this way, the huge pressure came to Tuoba Tao.

"When Liu Song attacked Hu Xia last time, he spent a lot of food in the north. The harvest in Hebei has been bad in the past few years, and it will take at least five years to recover."

"But now that Liu Song has opened up sea transportation, he can continuously transport the grain from the south to Hebei! With the miraculous output of Champa rice in the south, it will not take two years to make up for the loss in the north!"

"So, the time for my Great Wei... is in these two years!"

In addition to being able to attack the main grain production areas of the Northern Wei Dynasty from the sea, sea transportation also has the terrifying transportation capacity.

In particular, Tuoba Tao, the famous name of Champa Rice, has also been heard.

With the support of such epoch-making crops, the chances of winning the Northern Wei Dynasty will decrease by one point for every extra day.

Tuoba Tao, I can't wait!
"war……"

Cui Hao closed his eyes.

There will be a war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty, which he knew a few years ago when he went to Liu Song camp to seek peace.

Over the years, he has been helping the Northern Wei Dynasty to make the country rich and strong, and he is waiting for the best opportunity.

But unfortunately...

Liu Yizhen in the south was more cautious than he thought.

In the process of fighting Helianbo, he would rather take hundreds of thousands of people to support Hanzhong alone, and did not mobilize the army from Hebei and Jinyang, and even transferred the army from the Central Plains to Luoyang to fight against the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

With such a cautious opponent, there is obviously little hope of waiting for the opponent to miss in the general strategic direction.

And if we wait any longer... then, as Tuoba Tao said, the odds of winning the Northern Wei Dynasty will become smaller and smaller.

"Your Majesty, it is time."

Northern Wei, can't afford to wait.

"But some arrangements still need to be done."

Tuoba Tao's eyes lit up: "What is the arrangement Xiangfu said?"

"I need to go to Chang'an alone to stir up the situation in Chang'an. Not to mention disturbing Liu Song, at least delay Liu Yizhen for a while, so as to create a chance for our army to take the lead."

Tuoba Tao fell into entanglement again: "Such a person...is there any in our Great Wei?"

"nature."

Cui Hao recommended the candidate in his mind to Tuoba Tao——

"Pingji county son, Li Shun."
