Liu Song Hanque

Expand the territory!
It is necessary to expand the territory!
Hexi and the Western Regions have been my territory since ancient times, how can I let the aliens sleep soundly!
Everyone couldn't say what they thought on the surface, so they guided public opinion on the sidelines, trying to persuade the cabinet and the military to send troops to the Western Regions.

Looking around the world, the east has been jointly controlled by Liaodong Dudufu and Donghai Dudufu, and there are forces like Wang Xie. The Beiting Dudufu has now become the internal cake of the military group. The South China Sea Dudufu has Liu Mu's line and The seat of Xu Xian's lineage, and Du Huidu, the governor of Jiaozhou who has been operating in the South China Sea for decades, are already difficult to break.

Only west.

It is still under the control of aliens!

Especially Juqu Mengxun, the lord of Northern Liang, was a Huns.

To overthrow or even eliminate the Huns has long been the political correctness of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the onslaught that seizes this point will always get the support of countless people.

Coupled with recent news that the founding monarch of Northern Liang, Juqu Mengxun, had just passed away, and the successor Juqu Mujian could not convince the domestic ministers, it was a good time to send troops to destroy Beiliang in one fell swoop.

Not only Beiliang.

The vision of some ambitious people has become wider. They looked at Tuyuhun, which has been hanging up for hundreds of years in the south of Beiliang.

Tuyuhun, originally a personal name, was the eldest son of Shanyu Shegui of the Murong clan of Xianbei in Liaodong, called Murong Tuyuhun.

Murong Shegui once led [-] households to this area of ​​Qinghai to take root and graze. After Murong Shegui died, his son Murong Xi succeeded him as Shanyu, and he was at odds with Murong Tuyuhun. Cheng, invaded and forced Di and Qiang, and became a strong tribe.

The current king of Tuyuhun, called Mu Gui, is conscientious at home and keeps a low profile externally. If it weren't for the map, even Liu Song's courtiers would not know that there is such a regime in the southwestern corner of the country.

With the changes in the Liu Song Dynasty, people no longer judge whether the land is good or bad based on whether the land is fertile or not, whether it can be planted well, but whether there are various ores and energy sources under it.

For this reason, many famous scholars were even born, and these scholars even vowed that "the land of Tuyuhun must have a large amount of minerals."

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it has fueled the people's desire to conquer the West more and more.

The imperial court saw that the time was almost up, and decisively followed the public opinion. With Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi, who had been in the west for a long time, as generals, they sent [-] infantry and cavalry to attack Hexi.

When the news spread to Guzang, the capital of Beiliang, even though Juqu Mujian could remain calm in front of outsiders, he was extremely panicked in private.

"In the past, the civil strife in the Central Plains, no matter Xia, Qin, Wei, or Jin, had no time to worry about our country, but now that the Great Song Dynasty came out and wiped out Liuhe, the disaster in Beiliang will follow."

Even though Beiliang knew its fate as early as when Liu Song destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty and even Hu Xia, when Liu Song really sent troops to attack Hexi, there was still a burst of wailing in Beiliang.

"Everyone, we are all from the Hu family. If Liu Song destroys Guozuo, we will really become wild dogs!"

Although Juqu Mujian was afraid, he still fulfilled his duty as the lord of a country.

"Although the Song army is strong, we can wait for work and defeat the enemy in a single battle!"

"Besides, we are not without allies!"

The ally Juqu Mujian mentioned is naturally Tuyuhun.

After calming down the emotions of the people in Beiliang, he sent envoys to bring gifts to Shazhou, the royal city of Tuyuhun, and asked his lord, Mu Gui, to send troops for reinforcements.

"Why do we want cavalry to fight against Da Song?"

At the beginning of the period, Mu Gui didn't want to have a direct conflict with Liu Song.

After all, as long as Liu Song's strength is not imagined by a fool, it is okay to bully and bully the natives on his own one-acre three-point land. Unexpectedly, it will be smashed into dregs in seconds.

"The lord!"

Beiliang's envoy wailed: "Do you really think that after Beiliang is destroyed, Liu Song will turn a blind eye to Tuyuhun?"

"You must have heard the previous news. The emperor of Liu Song not only defeated Tuoba Xianbei, but also went all the way north to seal the wolves and live in Xuxu, sweeping up Mobei, and later wiped out Goguryeo and other big countries that had been entrenched in the northeast for several years. !"

"No matter how remote Tuyuhun is, is it as remote as Goguryeo?"

"No matter how powerful Tuyuhun is, is it as powerful as Goguryeo?"

"Even such a country was destroyed by Liu Song with a thunderbolt. Can the king really guarantee that the Song family will not take action against Tuyuhun?"

Now Mu Gui fell silent.

He is naturally very familiar with Goguryeo, a powerful and remote country. After all, his lineage migrated from Liaodong Xianbei, so it is impossible not to know Goguryeo.

In his mind, Goguryeo was indeed "innocent". It was clearly incompatible with Liu Song's ruled area, but it was still wiped out by troops.

Even Goguryeo, which was so far away from Chang'an, the capital of the Liu Song Kingdom, was destroyed. What about Tuyuhun, which was closer to Guanzhong and Chang'an?

For a while, Mu Gui, who was unwilling to send troops, also fell into a tangle.

Seeing Mu Gui's hesitation, the envoy of Beiliang hurriedly hit the railway line: "Before, my ancestor Juqu Mengxun of Beiliang expected such a day, so he gave all the post stations and cities on the land west of Jincheng in Liu Song Dynasty and east of Guzang to me. Destroy or relocate."

"The Song army has a long way to go, and the supply of the Song army will inevitably be very long. As long as I, Beiliang, hold Liu Song's main force in Guzang, and the lord, you lead the cavalry to harass Liu Song's logistics supplies. Surround the Song Army's rear at the right time, and it will definitely wipe out the Song Army in one fell swoop! Peace will be won for decades!"

If Mu Gui was emotional just now, he is seriously thinking about it now.

According to Bei Liang, he didn't need to face Song Jun directly, as long as he made small moves in the rear and slowly dragged down Song Jun.

It is really hard for Mu Gui to refuse such an action that pays a very small price but can obtain huge benefits.

"Never mind."

Mu Gui finally agreed to the alliance with Beiliang.

At the same time, in order to allow Beiliang to persist in Guzang for a longer period of time, Mu Gui even spared no expense in sending [-] Tuyuhun soldiers to Guzang to help Beiliang defend the city.

This great gift from heaven naturally made the monarchs and ministers of Beiliang ecstatic, and added a bit of confidence in resisting Liu Song.

Unfortunately, what they don't know is what kind of enemy they will face.

During the period when Beiliang was in contact with Tuyuhun, Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi began to train soldiers in Jincheng.

Different from the way of training in the past, these soldiers of the Song Army were all riding horses, but what they held in their hands was not long spears or bows and arrows, but black lacquered muskets.

With the advancement of technology in recent years, the musket technology has become the change that the military is most willing to see.

Compared with the muskets in the hands of the Song army in Liaodong, the current muskets have improved a bit, from the most primitive matchlock guns to flintlock guns.

Not to mention, the rows of cannons pulled by chariots...

Such a change is an absolute nightmare for all civilizations in this era!
