The alliance between the Tuoba Xianbei and Bingzhou was by no means empty words, but a real brotherly alliance. A year ago, the Duke of Yue Shi entered and cleaned up the mess, with less than 10,000 troops under his command, and the city was only Jinyang, and the enemy he faced was the Hun Han Kingdom, who had a hundred thousand people threatening Luoyang and had the ambition to move the tripod. It was no exaggeration to say that the situation was in turmoil. At this time, the western Duke of Yilu was also suppressed by the Luguan to the point where the power of the subordinate tribe was almost disintegrated. In order to seek assistance from external forces, Yilu sneaked to Jinyang to meet Duke Yue Shi, and then reached a mutual assistance covenant.

From any perspective, this is a covenant between the two weak, and it seems that it will soon become a covenant between the two losers. However, the ability of Yue Shigong and Yilu exceeded others' estimates. In the following year, Bingzhou and Tuoba Xianbei fought in the western part of the west and achieved brilliant results. In the south, they repelled the army of the Huns and Han countries, firmly grasped the five counties and states of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xinxing, Leping and Yanmen, and suppressed the once arrogant Xiongnu to the south of the narrow Xihe County. This achievement would never be achieved without the support of Yilu's 30,000 elite Xianbei soldiers; and in the north, Yilu was able to defeat all opponents and ascend to the position of the Great Shanyu that he had always dreamed of, and also relied on Bingzhou General Lu Chang to defend Shengle and knocked tens of thousands of enemy troops to the point of blood.

The western Bingzhou and Tuoba Xianbei, which are also under tremendous pressure, formed an alliance that both parties need. But now, it is obvious that both families need to seriously weigh: Is this alliance worth maintaining? Even if it is maintained, will the relationship between the two parties be as strong as before? Will the status of both parties still be as equal as before?

The Tuoba Xianbei no longer needs any need for the Jinyang regime. The westerner Yilu became the great shanyu of the entire Tuoba Xianbei tribe alliance. Even though the Tuoba Xianbei was greatly damaged by the previous turmoil, its strength was still far above half of the Bingzhou. From the perspective of the Jinyang regime, too powerful allies may become a threat; therefore, for the entire situation in the northern border, both Jinyang and Dai County must prevent the Tuoba Xianbei's power from continuing to expand. Although Lu Yao sent troops to the grassland on the dam, it was not in advance of Yueshigong's instruction, it was in line with Yueshigong's intention to suppress the Tuoba Xianbei.

But this will inevitably cause Yilu's rebound. Yilu would never tolerate the Xianbei people's pastures falling into the hands of the Jin people, and would even less likely to accept himself as a great chanyu who bent his knees to the Jin people. If the Tuoba Xianbei broke up completely with one side, this would be something that the already riddled Jin court could not bear.

At the moment when Yilu won a great victory, it was precisely the most subtle moment of the relationship between Tuoba Xianbei and Jinyang. Both sides knew this clearly, but Wen Qiao had vowed to protect Yilu to the death on Danhan Mountain. No one was willing to expose this layer of tulle posted by each other's personal friendship. And Lu Yao's military operations on the grassland of Bashang were like a long knife, wielding the tulle into two pieces.

At this moment, since Yilu had attacked, if he was not careful in dealing with it, it would have terrible consequences. Wen Qiao looked at the scroll twice, and changed his mind quickly, and then opened his mind: "Although the grassland on the dam is rich, it is only a small corner of it. What the Great Shanyu wants to ask is not just the actions of Lu Yao, Daijun? In fact, what you want to know most is how to get along with the Great Jin court in the future."

Yilu looked at Wen Qiao deeply and took a step back. He always maintained enough respect for the Bingzhou plotter. Whether it was the former use of dozens of powerful crossbows to kill Xianbei warriors in Jinyang City or the efforts to block Luguan on Danhan Mountain, it was shown that Wen Qiao was indeed an extraordinary person with courage and strategy. Since Wen Qiao was willing to make an open and honest statement, he was not willing to force him too much. However, although this Xianbei great chanyu may not be as eloquent as the famous scholars of the Jin people, his thinking was extremely clear and he did not easily follow Wen Qiao's meaning: "Since Wen Changshi thought he had said his heart for me, how about you answer together?"

Wen Qiao slowly put away the scroll and said calmly: "Since Yuankang, evil in Luoyang has been rising, causing trouble in the world, and the imperial sects have been resolved. The royal family and kings have planned their own power and ranks to attack and fight each other. For decades, the Central Plains have been in chaos, and the Qiang and Di are in chaos, and the country is in a state of precariousness. At that time, even the Huns who have been in decline for a hundred years have dared to covet magical weapons. With the strength of the Tuoba Xianbei, how could they be content to grazing on the grassland for a long time?"

Since the Tuoba Xianbei's power, the great Shanyu of all dynasties adopted the strategy of obedience to the Central Plains court. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, they were hired to join the market and exchanged endlessly. Yilu and his brother Tuoba Yiyi also inherited this policy. However, Wen Qiao suddenly pointed out that Yilu had strange ambitions, and this sentence was like thunder sounding in his ears, which shocked Yilu to take a breath and widen his eyes. The ambition hidden in his heart for many years was actually said so lightly by Wen Qiao. Although he was not afraid, he could not help but feel embarrassed.

No matter how weak the Great Jin Dynasty was, it was still a giant after all. Yilu waved his arm and swung his arms twice, trying to say something to deny it, but he couldn't organize his words for a while: "This...this..."

Wen Qiao continued: "This is the case in the time, and I don't know how many people intend to plan for kingly and domineering things. With the great talent and strategy of the Great Shanyu, they would not stop watching. This is what is said, if there are extraordinary people, there must be extraordinary things. However, after the Tuoba Xianbei experienced this civil strife, the elite of decades of integration was completely damaged, and both manpower and material resources were exhausted. At present, they can only rest and rest, and they should not start another war." He chuckled a few times: "What's more, the current situation of the Great Shanyu is still dangerous, 'I am afraid that Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuanyu, but in Xiao Wall'."

Yilu quickly recovered from a moment of horror. He was quite familiar with Jin people's literature. When he heard Wen Qiao's later words, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, so he shook his head and sneered: "Shi Wen, why should you intimidate with such nonsense? I am the grandson of Liwei, the son of Desert Khan, and succeeded the Tuoba Xianbei Da Shanyu, which is legitimate. I also united all the troops in all directions and led the troops to repel the Xianbei and Tiefu Xiongnu of the Bai tribe. The commanders of the commanders were as powerful as arm commanders, and all the powerful chiefs and commanders of Qu were obedient. What are the worries in Xiao Wall?"

Wen Qiao said slowly: "Da Shanyu still remembers the entire process of the Dahan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony?"

"Of course I remember. I made an agreement with Lu Guan to decide the outcome by a duel, but Lu Guan bribed the divine witch to help him. For a moment, the enemy and us were very different, and it was almost in danger. Fortunately, I had already formed an alliance with the Wei clan, so I took advantage of this guy's opportunity to take office as the Great Shanyu and poisoned him on the spot." Yilu answered impatiently.

Wen Qiao suddenly laughed to the sky.

"Yes, not bad. It's this process. The reason why you were in a desperate situation at the ceremony of worshiping the sky was because of the betrayal of the Nuo people under the Wei clan; the reason why you became the winner of the ceremony of worshiping the sky was because of the help of the Wei clan; even the title of the Great Shanyu was given by the Wei clan in the name of the ancestor gods. But have you ever thought that since the Lu Guan could bribe a group of Nuo people, why did the Wei clan only miss the Wei clan? Since the Wei clan has formed a private alliance with you, how could he know nothing about the fact that the Nuo people under the Emperor were bribed by the Lu Guan? On the Danhan Mountain, what did the actual controller of the Tuoba Xianbei region do, and what did she want?"
