This is because Wei Yuanchuan knew that if he did this, he would definitely face opposition and would not be allowed to act rashly.
But supporting Zhenbei Pass must be carried out no matter what, so it makes no difference whether a memorial is submitted or not.
As I said before, defending the country and the people is our duty.
No matter where you are.
More importantly, Wei Yuanchuan believed that if his royal brother knew his thoughts and these things, he would definitely support him.
So, what is there to hesitate about?
In particular, he had made a decision in his heart that if Zhenbei Pass could not stop the grassland tribes from invading the south, he would lead the Yan army to support them and would never let those people enter the heartland of the Central Plains!
But at this stage, this is all he can do.
As for the rest, it depends on how things develop.
now.
Wei Yuanchuan understood that the most important thing to do now was to govern Yan well and allow the people of Yan to truly integrate with the Central Plains. This would be of great benefit to both the imperial court and Yan.
Although he could not become the emperor, as a descendant of the Wei royal family, he could at least do something for the country.
Without thinking too much, he paused and continued to handle his official business.
...
And it was on the same day.
Gaoyang, within the Protectorate of Gaoping City.
Song Hongzhi was pacing back and forth in the lobby, seemingly waiting for something.
But as time went by, his expression became more and more anxious, and he kept looking outside the door.
"My Lord, My Lord!" Finally, about half an hour later, General Chen Xian of Gaoyang trotted in. He bowed slightly, then said, "My Lord, there is...there is news."
"The whereabouts of the Khans of the ten grassland tribes have been traced. They are all heading towards the same place, and their destination is the Keqin area of the grassland."
Keqin area?
Hearing this, Song Hongzhi stopped and his eyes lit up.
This place is located in the eastern part of the grassland, thousands of miles away from Zhenbei Pass, which can be said to be very far away.
But if you start from Gaoyang area, the straight-line distance is only seven or eight hundred miles.
As for why the ten Khans chose to gather in the Keqin area.
Song Hongzhi also knew this.
Because that area is rich in water and grass, it is the center of the White Bear Tribe on the grassland. Among the eighteen tribes on the grassland, the White Bear Tribe is ranked among the top five in strength and is very powerful.
If we use the standards of the Wei Dynasty, the Keqin area is equivalent to the Jiangnan area, and therefore very much in the Central Plains.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the Khans of the ten tribes to choose this place as their gathering place.
Of course there is another reason, which is why the grassland army united and marched south.
It is said that the White Bear Tribe was the leader.
"Okay, okay!"
"Finally found out the location."
Song Hongzhi looked very happy at this moment, with a gleam in his eyes.
During this period, he had been tracking down the news of the ten Khans of the grassland, using many means.
But those were the highest controllers of their respective departments after all, so it was difficult to track them down. However, hard work paid off, and they were finally found. Song Hongzhi had been preparing for this for a long time.
Without hesitation, he said, "Pass on this general's order. Gather all the commanders. Leave Gaoping now and charge towards the grassland!"
Although Song Hongzhi is now the Protector General of Gaoyang and has the title of Marquis of Guanjun, he still hopes to call himself "General".
Because in his eyes, this official position is only temporary, and he still has to lead troops to fight.
So there is absolutely no problem in calling yourself General.
"Leaving now?"
Hearing this, Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Should we prepare first? What if the Keqin area is just a cover for the grassland tribes? That's the Khan of the Ten Tribes, he should be more cautious, right?"
In his mind, it was a foregone conclusion that the Marquis would lead his army to attack the grassland tribes.
The key now is how to go and when to go.
Therefore, I still think we need to prepare.
And of course the most important thing.
Even now, they are not clear about the deployment of troops in the Keqin area. What should they do if they go there rashly and are discovered by the enemy?
"We've been preparing for this for a long time." Song Hongzhi shook his head and continued, "Mr. Chen, the ten khans have gathered to discuss how to deal with the Great Wei and how to break through the Zhenbei Pass. They are formidable enemies to the Great Wei and must be eliminated. Otherwise, they will bring endless disasters to the people of the Great Wei."
"As ministers of the Great Wei, you and I have received His Majesty's grace. What we must do now is to slay all the invading enemies!"
At this point, his eyes gradually grew sharper, and he continued, "Since the founding of the Great Wei, the grassland tribes have invaded our Great Wei almost every once in a while, burning, killing, and looting the people of our northern border. How many people have died as a result? The grassland tribes and our Great Wei have a blood feud, a feud that has lasted for generations. Now that the opportunity has been presented to us, we must seize it no matter what."
"The situation in Gaoyang has stabilized. Although the new recruits under my command have only been trained for a short time, it doesn't matter. We still have the foundation of Liaozhen soldiers. Even if there is a large army deployed in the Keqin area, what does it matter?"
"There are still 150,000 grassland troops outside Zhenbei Pass. The pressure is enormous. I believe they will continue to increase their forces. As long as I lead my troops into the grassland tribes, whether or not we can find the Khan of the Ten Tribes in this battle, it will be a good thing for Zhenbei Pass!"
