Early the next morning, Yu Wenxun Niyan, Wang Chang, Wu Jun and others got up from Hu Ji's belly.
When everything was packed and ready to go, Wu Jun glanced at the two Hu Ji from last night with some lingering interest.
He clicked his tongue and couldn't help but think about it.
"Hey, it seems that these Hulu are not without merit. Just like these female Hulu, the taste is worth experiencing deeply."
Everyone is of the same mind, and Tuoba Liuxiu also saw Wu Jun's inner thoughts.
"Wu Jun, I will wait for you to come back in Daibei. Then we will make careful plans for these Hulu affairs!"
While drinking and having fun last night, Tuoba Liuxiu and Wu Jun had already made an appointment to buy and sell Hu Lu.
"Don't worry, General Tuoba, I've already noted this down."
Yu Wenxun, Ni Yan and others had no intention of talking to Tuoba Liuxiu and soon led a convoy towards the north.
Tuoba Sixth Cultivator stood on the spot on horseback, looking at the Yuwen Department's team retreating in the distance, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"If I own the armor of so many chariots, I will definitely have strong soldiers and horses. There is no need to worry that my father will not like me!"
When he thought that his father, Tuoba Yilu, loved his younger brother the most and became more and more distant from him, he felt a wave of fear, fearing that Tuoba Yilu would take the song away from him in the future.
In that case, let alone becoming an adult of Tuoba Xianbei in the future, it would be impossible for him to even be a stable and stable commander-in-chief of the tribe.
After all, there has long been a precedent for brothers in the Tuoba tribe to kill each other.
"Jiaonu, has Wei Xiong left?"
When he thought of this, Tuoba Liuxiu immediately asked a slave beside him.
Upon hearing this, the personal slave named Jiao Nu immediately bowed and replied flatteringly.
"Master, the guard and supervisor had already set off with their entourage when the sky was just getting dark!"
Hearing this, Tuoba Liuxiu couldn't help but be full of expectations for what Wei Xiong said last night.
"If the powerful people in Daijun are really willing to stand up for themselves and go to Qingzhou and Han State to show their hospitality and get a large number of soldiers as rewards, then privately sending troops to attack Zaosong in Youzhou will not be considered a fault. , even if his father, Tuoba Yilu, knew about it, he would not punish himself, after all, Youzhou Zaosong and Duanbu Xianbei are of the same spirit, and Duanbu Xianbei is already an important opponent of Tuoba tribe!"
The more Tuoba Liuxiu thought about it, the more he felt that there was a great chance of success in this matter, and he couldn't help but feel much relieved.
"Jiao Nu, just wait for me. Once the guard comes back, bring him to see me immediately!"
"Master, don't worry, the slave will remember it!"
At this time, the escort of Daijun Governor had already arrived at Dangcheng in the middle of Daijun.
Wei Xiong and his party walked along the avenue and arrived outside a fort surrounded by high walls.
"who!?"
Before they even got close to Wubao, a few people came out and shouted loudly with their heads exposed.
When Wei Xiong heard this, he reined in his horse and stopped, shouting loudly.
"Go and tell your master, Hedong Weixiong, to come and pay a visit!"
Hearing this, the powerful tribe of Wubao immediately agreed and hurried down.
"Uncle, is this the Wubao of Daijun Feng's family?" a follower asked curiously.
Wei Xiong nodded when he heard this and said softly.
"Yes, Daijun Feng Mu is my old friend. I will definitely be able to accomplish something if I come here this time!"
In fact, the reason why Wei Xiong is so confident is not only that he and the head of the Wubao family are old friends, but also because of the reputation of the Wei family in Hedong. Even though Wei Xiong is now in such a state of desperation that he is serving Tuoba Xianbei, for Dai Jun For a powerful person from a humble family like Feng, it is still a high-ranking family that is difficult to reach.
What's more, this time when Wei Xiong served as Sima and was promoted to the imperial family, some people were awarded the title of Marquis. This time, it was a formal visit in person. Feng must feel greatly valued.
Sure enough, after a while, a middle-aged man in neat and dignified clothes led a group of people to greet him from the gate.
"Mr. Wei, I'm really flattered that I came to the cold place in person!"
Just as Wei Xiong expected, as soon as he heard that Wei Xiong of the Hedong Wei clan was coming in person, Feng Mu, the head of the Feng clan, immediately welcomed him with the highest treatment.
After some polite greetings, Wei Xiong and the Feng family quickly entered Wubao.
Wei Xiong's uncle Wei Cao once served as the county guard in Dai County. At that time, Wei Xiong and Feng Mu were his subordinates, and Feng Mu could be regarded as an old official of the Wei family in Hedong.
Therefore, Wei Xiong did not talk nonsense to Feng Mu, but bluntly stated the purpose of his visit.
"What, surrender to the Qingzhou Han Kingdom!?"
As soon as he heard Wei Xiong's words, Feng Mu's expression immediately changed.
"Yes, Wei is here to give Feng a great fortune!" Wei Xiong said very confidently.
However, after Feng Mu heard this, there was no trace of happiness on his face. Even the joy that the Hedong Wei clan had come to visit him had disappeared.
"Now that Zaosong is in power in Youzhou, the party is united and opposed, and several families have been destroyed." Feng Mu said very worriedly.
"Gong Wei should know that Liu Yu of the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou took in the fallen general of Youzhou, Sun Wei Wangzan, and had already become enemies with Zaosong. If I, Feng, went to join the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou, wouldn't I be doomed?"
Today, the northern part of Dai County near the border fortress has been occupied by Tuoba Xianbei, but the south of the central part is still under the control of Youzhou.
"Haha, Zaosong has neither talent nor virtue. In just a few months, he has made the entire Youzhou seething with resentment. It can be said that he is seeking his own death."
"Now, I have definite news. It won't take long for the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou to go north to conquer Zaosong. At that time, do we still need to be afraid of Zaosong?"
"What's more, Daijun Feng doesn't need to send a single soldier this time to surrender. He only needs to pay a visit and surrender, and ask for some weapons and armor. I will arrange all subsequent troop dispatches!"
After hearing Wei Xiong's words, Feng Mu immediately became more confused.
He could no longer understand what was the point of not sending troops to help after going to Qingzhou to serve the Han Kingdom and asking for rewards.
By doing this, when the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou takes possession of Youzhou, will they still be able to enjoy the good fruits of the Feng family?
Wei Xiong quickly explained Feng Mu's doubts based on what Tuoba Liuxiu said last night.
After listening, Feng Mu finally understood Wei Xiong's purpose.
"So that's how it is. If this happens, wouldn't Tuoba tribe have to have two boats?"
"If the world knows it, I will really think so. That's why I want to borrow your name from the Feng family. In this way, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator will get what he wants, and you, the Feng family, can also use this to become a higher official."
Feng Mu thought about it in his mind for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wei Xiong's words made sense.
Although there are still a lot of people in various prefectures and counties who serve the Jin Dynasty, Feng Mu himself knows very well how many of them are greedy people like Youzhou Zaosong.
Since the rise of the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou, although it was in a place of four wars, it had successively defeated powerful enemies such as the Hulu bandits. Even the Jin Dynasty vassal kings who occupied Jiangdong did not dare to cross the Huaibei River.
In fact, in Feng Mu's view, the Jin Dynasty has no hope of recovering the country. Even if a hero occasionally rises up, it is already a great skill to keep Jiangzuo and Guanzhong.
From then on, the world will be dominated by the East and West and the Han Dynasty.
However, Feng Mu suddenly remembered something, and he asked suspiciously.
"Although Duke Wei's plan is to help Tuoba Liuxiu, after all, Tuoba Xianbei Shanyu Tuoba Yilu still respects the Jin family, and Uncle Wei Gong also respects the Jin family. Isn't he afraid of angering the Tuoba family? ?"
Feng Mu knew that Tuoba Xianbei's so-called respect for the Jin Dynasty, in addition to the personal win over Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, was more aimed at the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty in Bingzhou.
Since the rise of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty in Bingzhou, the Qianghu, Tiefu and others who strongly supported the Henan area posed a huge threat to Tuoba Xianbei.
In addition, Tuoba Xianbei also wanted to use the reputation of honoring the Jin Dynasty to win over the exiled scholars and people for his own use.
"Alas, Jinyang City in Liu Bingzhou has been successfully attacked by barbarians. Even if it is recaptured in the future, Jinyang's years of hard work will be in vain!"
As soon as Wei Xiong said this, Feng Mu was immediately surprised again.
"What, Jinyang was captured by the barbarians!?"
It has been eight years since the Huns Liu Yuan raised his troops. Over the years, these Huns and barbarians have made numerous raids and plunders. Even the capital of the Jin Dynasty, Luoyang, was overturned twice. However, only Liu Kun held on to the Jin Dynasty. Yang, still like a boulder in the rapids, stands in the heart of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties.
Jinyang City, which the world had placed high hopes on, was actually captured like this?
Later, Wei Xiong told Feng Mu everything about Jinyang's surrendered general Linghu Ni leading the Huns to sneak attack on Jinyang City.
After listening, Feng Mu not only sighed while stroking his hands.
"If Jinyang is lost, the only one left in the north who can rely on most is Guanzhong!"
When Wei Xiong heard this, he smiled coldly.
"Everyone in Guanzhong is also a scheming person!"
Since the new emperor of the Jin Dynasty ascended the throne in Chang'an, several Jin Dynasty officials and generals in Guanzhong began to compete for power and gain, turning a blind eye to the danger of the Huns and Han Kingdom that was just around the corner.
"To be honest, Wei feels that the person who can help the chaos in the future is none other than Liu Yu!"
"If all my Wei family members hadn't been in Shengle City, I would have advised my uncle to move to Qingzhou and Han Dynasty!"
"If we expect the people of the Jin Dynasty in Guanzhong and Jiangdong to conquer Hedong and return to their ancestral homeland, we don't know what year and month it will take!"
After hearing what Wei Xiong said, Feng Muchong finally understood.
It turned out that Wei Cao and Wei Xiong's uncles and nephews had been living in exile since they were exiled during the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty. Later, the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty rose up and quickly took over Hedong County.
"Since Duke Wei sees it this way, Feng also thinks that Liu Yu will be the one who will bring chaos to the world in the future!"
"Well, in that case, Brother Feng, please immediately contact some powerful people from Daijun and quietly go see Liu Yu!"
=·=·=·=·
Yuzhou, Liangguo, Suiyang.
At this time, Liu Yu didn't know that he already had two potential supporters in Youzhou.
He is now happily worried about things in Yuzhou.
Since Wang Mi was killed, the tens of thousands of thieves who were originally roaming around Yuzhou disappeared in time. Many of them were lured by Liu Dun and others and joined Liu Yu.
Now these people happen to be placed in the Liangguo area of Yuzhou.
"Your Majesty, there are now 20,000 military soldiers in Jizhou alone. As long as there is another year to save some food and grass and train the soldiers, we may not be able to guarantee the victory over Luoyang, but we can conquer Yingchuan County. But it’s not a problem!”
Li Feng, who had just been transferred to the governor of Yuzhou, said very happily.
After hearing this, Liu Yu frowned and was slightly unhappy.
"The Xun clan of Yingchuan was left behind on purpose by me. Don't shout about beating and killing all day long!"
"But Xun Song from Yingchuan is very cunning. Many refugees were attracted by him. Otherwise, there would have been tens of thousands more military soldiers!"
"Now the military government has enough soldiers. If there are more, not only will there be no extra acres, but also the weapons will be insufficient."
Liu Yu said softly.
Since there has been no external harassment for the time being, the Yanzhou area in Yuzhou has fully demonstrated its characteristics as a fertile plain. Each household has hundreds of acres of land, and it is no problem to settle 20, 30,000 people, and all of them are It is land with very good terrain.
However, with the sharp increase in the number of military soldiers in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, the originally abundant weapons, tents and other military supplies were quickly stretched.
"We can't just let these military soldiers work on the land, but select all the craftsmen such as blacksmiths, charcoal burners, and leather workers from here!" Liu Yu ordered.
"Moreover, these craftsmen should be treated as favorably as possible. Some training can also be reduced as much as possible, giving them more time and more weapons and armor!"
When Liu Yu was inspecting outside the city just now, he saw many newly recruited military soldiers practicing with various weapons. At first glance, they looked like they were pieced together.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent people to select all these craftsmen. Once these people are settled, they will start work immediately!"
Since taking over as the governor of Yuzhou, Li Feng has always made preparations for the Western Expedition his mission, and he has high hopes for his military soldiers.
"Your Majesty, there is still a lot of free land in Yuzhou now. Why not recruit all the refugees as soldiers of the government? If that is the case, wouldn't there be more soldiers who dare to fight?"
After hearing this, Liu Yu shook his head slightly.
"You think too simply. You must know that except for the rations that these military soldiers bring themselves, everything else is paid for by the imperial government."
"Where does all this money come from? It's all from the people who registered their households and paid taxes."
"If everyone becomes a soldier, who will pay taxes and food?"
Li Feng was a little dissatisfied after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you how much tax we can collect from the poor people. If we want to collect it, we should specifically collect it from the powerful families!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Of course I understand this."
"It's just that these powerful families are extraordinary, but they need to be carefully planned!"
