When news of the turmoil in the Western Regions reached Fengjing, it did not cause much shock.

Although Hammer Erzi successfully met the Jin Dynasty Emperor Zhao Zhi, as the emperor, Zhao Zhi agreed to meet him only out of courtesy and face, nothing more. Regarding what Hammer Erzi said

Zhao Zhi avoided answering any questions about support and help, and just asked Hammer Erqi to stay in peace.

The Western Region is too far away, and Dashi is even more out of reach. For many people, if it hadn't been for that war, I'm afraid many people in the world would not know that there is another one in the world called Dashi, and one comparable to the Jin Dynasty.

It is also a powerful empire that is not too generous.

The rebellion in the Western Regions will inevitably trigger an all-out counterattack by the Dashi Empire. Their real opponent is Dashi, not the Jin Dynasty. Wuzhou will be fine. Zhao Zhi understands this, and many ministers also understand it. Therefore, the rebellion in the Western Regions will not lead to a full-scale counterattack.

draw too much attention from them.

However, the great changes in the Western Regions deeply affected Li Xun's mind. He met Zhao Zhi three times in a row and requested to return to Wuzhou to take charge of the overall situation, but was rejected one after another. In the end, Zhao Zhi was angered and issued an order to guard the imperial city. There was no order.

, Li Xun is not allowed to enter the imperial city without permission.

Li Xun was extremely angry about this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

However, Sima Tu saw something was wrong and told Li Xun that something unknown to outsiders must have happened, which had restrained the minds of Zhao Zhi and many others.

It was the first day of May in the ninth year of Taiping.

A shocking news spread in the capital. The two major Hu tribes of Momo and Mongolia once again broke out in a fierce battle. The fighting lasted for three days and three nights. At this critical moment, Wu En, the son of Tuoan, the leader of the Wak tribe, who had lived in Dajin for many years,

The Hu people, with 10,000 soldiers from their headquarters, raided the camp of Pushe Khan. Pushe, the Khan of Monan, was killed on the spot. The Hu people in Monan were in chaos. The Hu people in Mobei took advantage of the situation to launch an all-out attack. Xusan, Hao Qite and ten others

The remaining tribes surrendered one after another. Tuoan, the leader of the Wak tribe, fought to the end and was ultimately defeated and committed suicide.

The decisive battle between the two Hu tribes, which had been stalemate for two full years, finally came to a final result. The Monan Hu tribe's 300,000-strong army was completely destroyed, and Huhe Bari unified the entire Momeng grassland.

The war started on April 9th ​​and ended on April 13th and 14th. Ma Wu, the governor of Anbei Province, got the exact news. Shocked and horrified, he wrote a battle report in his own hand and ordered 800 people to be killed.

It was urgent from Liga and sent to Fengjing.

Zhao Zhi received the news on April 25th. He was shocked and did not spread the news. However, there is no airtight wall in the world. A few days later, on the first day of May, following the Western Regions, the desert grassland changed dramatically.

The news finally spread.

Just when everyone was shocked, another news came that Wu Fanbai, the governor of Daizhou, was assassinated and died while inspecting the place.

A very important factor in why Wing King Zhao He was able to control Jinyang's military power was that he had money in his hands, and where did this money come from? Wu Fanbai, the governor of Daizhou, made the most of his contribution. Now with Wu Fanbai's murder, Wing King Zhao He

It was like having an arm cut off, and Jinyang's original 50,000 troops were divided into 20,000. This undoubtedly caused Zhao He, who had already suffered a lot of losses, to suffer heavy losses.

Royal study room.

Zhao Zhi put his left hand on his forehead, his face looked sickly pale. He didn't pay attention to the great changes in the Western Region, but he couldn't help but pay attention to the great changes in Momeng, and it really shocked his mind.

In the later years of Pingzong's life, he personally conquered Hebei. The 400,000 elite troops were wiped out. The Momeng Hu tribe took the opportunity to move south in large numbers. If Liu Jie hadn't successfully split the Momeng Hu tribe and Yang Daosi persuaded the vassal towns in Hebei to withdraw their troops with great righteousness, I am afraid that the great war at that time would have been

Jin has already perished.

Momeng has always been the sworn enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty. The rise and fall of the Jin Dynasty were closely related to the Momeng Hu tribe. After Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne, he put all the elite troops in his hands in Anhui.

Bei, and even more boldly reused Li Zhong, who was still unknown at the time, which stabilized the situation, preventing the Mobei Hu tribe from breaking through the Anbei defenses, and giving Zhao Zhi a chance to breathe.

Zhao Zhi was already struggling with Mobei alone. Now that the Momeng Hu tribe had reunited and their army was so powerful, who could match it? At this moment, Zhao Zhi felt deeply worried in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Qin Anming would like to see Prime Minister Qin."

Liu Congxi came in to report.

Zhao Zhi waved his hand and said impatiently: "No, I won't see anyone today."

The news about Momeng was transmitted back to Fengjing. Zhao Zhi convened many ministers for several days to discuss matters. Some of them did not know military affairs and kept silent. Even if some people had opinions, they had no ideas. Several ministers in the political hall, most of them

Most of the people's opinions were not in line with Zhao Zhi's wishes. Only Yang Daolin, who had been in charge of the local military for a long time, suggested that Anbei reorganize the army and prepare for war, and sent envoys to Momeng to inquire about the inside information of the Hu tribe. Yang Daolin's suggestions were of some use, and the rest were

People are not in line with Zhao Zhi's wishes, and they have been discussing for several days without coming up with a complete plan. This makes Zhao Zhi very upset. Today, several ministers have asked to see him, and Zhao Zhi just wants to be alone for a while.

No one was seen.

I don't know how much time passed, but Liu Congxi came in again and reported: "Li Zhong and Li Xiangguo ask for an audience."

Zhao Zhi was already annoyed, but Liu Congxi didn't know what to do and kept going in and out. At this moment, he suddenly became furious, pointed at him, and cursed loudly: "Get out of here, if you bother me again, I will definitely kill you."

dog head."

"Yes, yes, slave, get out of here."

Liu Congxi was so frightened that he crawled out and walked out. He didn't want to come in and bother Zhao Zhi, but Li Zhong had a tough attitude and insisted on seeing Zhao Zhi. Liu Congxi thought that they were very close and should be fine, so he bit the bullet.

Come in and report, who would have caused a big disaster.

"etc."

Zhao Zhi suddenly woke up and called Liu Congxi: "But Li Zhong is back?"

Liu Congxi nodded repeatedly: "It is Li Zhong and Li Xiangguo who are asking for an audience."

Zhao Zhi's face lit up and he said urgently: "Ask him to come in quickly."

Li Zhong went to Hedong some time ago to inspect the military affairs in Hedong, but now he is back. He has been guarding Anbei for a long time, and his understanding of the Momeng Hu tribe is probably unmatched by anyone in the world.

"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty."

Li Zhong entered the imperial study and bowed.

"There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite."

Zhao Zhi walked down, took Li Zhong to the side and sat down together, and immediately said: "Zhide, you must have heard about Mo Meng, right?"

There is no greater virtue in the world than loyalty. The name Li Zhong was given to him by Zhao Zhi.

"As soon as I heard the news about Mo Meng, I rushed back immediately."

Li Zhong nodded, with a very serious expression on his face, and said, "Have the courtiers discussed any useful strategies?"

Zhao Zhi shook his head and sighed: "Still the same old method, getting married, stabilizing the defense of Anbei... These are not what I want to hear. You are back just in time, and I want to hear your suggestions."

Li Zhong was silent in thought for a while, and then said softly: "Since Mo and Meng have returned to unity, it is inevitable that they will become stronger again. In the future, Mo and Meng will definitely be our strongest enemy in the Jin Dynasty. But your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much.

The threat of Mongolia to our Jin Dynasty is not now, but in the future. For at least five years, Mo Meng will not be able to pose a fatal threat to our Jin Dynasty."
