night.
Inside the camp of Tuoba Liuxiu.
Surrounded by many powerful chiefs, the worry on Tuoba Liuxiu's face did not diminish at all.
His fierce eyes swept over the faces of his subordinates in the tent one by one, trying to see through everyone's heart.
"Agan, how could the Great Chanyu know that we are secretly colluding with the Qingzhou thieves?"
"I remember that we were the only ones present at that time, and there were no outsiders!"
A clan brother of Tuoba Sixth Cultivation said angrily.
After the messenger sent by Tuoba Yilu today handed the stern letter to Tuoba Liuxiu,
As soon as he heard the words "Xianbei Shanyu, Yunzhong County Duke" and other words in it, Tuoba Liuxiu knew that his secret conspiracy with Qingzhou thieves had been exposed.
In other words, he was betrayed by someone among the generals in front of him.
Otherwise, how would Tuoba Yilu, who was hundreds of miles away in Jinyang, know about what had just happened?
"General, it is useless to worry about these things at this time."
Governor Wei Xiong said, "Now the Great Chanyu seems to be furious. What we should be thinking about is how to calm down the Great Chanyu's anger, rather than pursuing anyone here for leaking the secret."
"Why can't we pursue this matter? If we don't make this matter clear, wouldn't we be exposed to suspicion in vain!" said a chieftain of the Tuoba tribe.
Wei Xiong glanced at him and said coldly.
"Can it be said that finding the person who leaked the secret can calm down the Great Chanyu?"
"I, that,,," the commander was immediately speechless.
After hearing this, Tuoba Liuxiu also felt that it made sense.
"Guard Guard, now Shanyu has urgently summoned me to see him, what do you think we should do!"
In Tuoba Yilu's letter today, he requested Tuoba Liuxiu to immediately set off to Jinyang to see him after receiving the letter without any hesitation.
That messenger was Tuoba Yilu's most trusted confidant. If Tuoba Liuxiu hadn't sent him a sword and a beautiful woman, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been any delay tonight.
Even so, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator must set off immediately at dawn tomorrow morning at the latest.
"Da Shanyu is the general's father, and he is also the general's king. How can the general disobey the king's father's orders?" Wei Xiong said seriously.
Tuoba Liuxiu hesitated for a while when he heard the words, and it seemed difficult to say the words in his mouth.
However, Wei Xiong knew that Tuoba Sixth Cultivator was afraid. He himself was becoming less and less popular with Tuoba Yilu, and now he was secretly colluding with Qingzhou Han State, fearing that Tuoba Yilu would assassinate Liu Bingzhou in Jin Dynasty. Kun had already lost a lot of face in front of him.
As a result, Tuoba Liuxiu was naturally very scared.
Although there are fathers, sons, and brothers among the Tuoba Xianbei tribe, there is little affection for them. Various incidents of fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, and nephews killing each other have never stopped for a hundred years.
It is natural for Tuoba Sixth Cultivator to be afraid.
"General, are you worried that Da Shan won't be able to control his anger and become a killer?" Wei Xiong said without any scruples.
After hearing this, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator nodded silently.
You know, Tuoba Yilu has many sons. Even if Tuoba Liuxiu, the eldest son, is killed, new people will immediately take over his tribe.
The powerful chiefs nearby also heard the words of the Supervisory Guard, and after looking at each other, they all closed their lips and remained silent.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a burst of gentle laughter sounded.
Supervisor Weixiong laughed.
Tuoba Sixth Cultivator was immediately stunned.
"Guard Guard, why are you laughing?"
"General, if you really think so, you are really worrying too much." Wei Xiong said.
"Are you worrying too much? What do you mean?"
"General, Liu Yu of the Qingzhou Han Kingdom claimed that he inherited Han Zuo, so he naturally wanted to appease Sifangzhou Town. The general had tens of thousands of troops and occupied Daibei. It would be abnormal if there were no inducements from the Qingzhou Han Kingdom. !”
"Yes, that's the truth." Tuoba Sixth Cultivator immediately turned his worries into joy, "But, even so, I'm afraid the Great Chanyu can't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it? Did the general accept the title of Duke appointed by the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou?"
"No."
"The official seal and ribbon of Qingzhou Han Kingdom, has the general accepted it?"
"nor."
"None of this is true. How could the general collude with Qingzhou and Han?" Wei Xiong looked at Tuoba Liuxiu very seriously.
"But, the armor and weapons sent by the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou are all in the army." Tuoba Liuxiu said weakly.
"Haha, those things were all bought from each other by the generals and powerful people from Daijun. How can they be blamed on Qingzhou and Han?"
After Tuoba Liuxiu heard Wei Xiong's words, he felt guilty for a while.
If this is said, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator really has no evidence to prove that he colluded with the Han State in Qingzhou. It is not enough to prove it just by some people's verbal accusations.
However, Tuoba Xianbei has never been a place where laws are taught, or Tuoba Yilu has never been a person who teaches laws.
"General, don't worry. Now that the Great Chanyu has just helped Liu Kun repel the Huns, it is time to take this opportunity to win over the Jin people. How can he let everyone know that his eldest son has colluded with the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou?"
With the help of Tuoba Xianbei, Liu Kun, the governor of Jin Bingzhou, finally defeated the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty and restored part of the lost land and population.
This battle fully exposed the weakness of Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, and many soldiers and civilians of Bingzhou would turn to Tuoba Xianbei to seek refuge.
At this moment, Tuoba Yilu must unswervingly hold high the banner of supporting the Jin Dynasty.
"If this is the case, then why is the Great Chanyu like this?" Tuoba Liuxiu asked.
"General, I'm afraid that Shanyu is just using this as an excuse to make the general surrender."
"yield?"
As soon as Tuoba Liuxiu heard this word, he immediately thought of what Governor Wei Xiong meant.
Sure enough, everything was just as Supervisor Weixiong guessed.
Tuoba Liuxiu, who only led dozens of personal guards to protect him, immediately understood Tuoba Yilu's true intention after meeting his father Tuoba Yilu.
Tuoba Xianbei's great Chanyu, who was wearing a silk robe and his hair in braids, immediately scolded his eldest son as soon as he saw him coming in a hurry.
"I asked you to be the master of the East. Am I asking you to raise horses there?"
"I only stayed in Jinyang for two months, and Youzhou fell into the hands of Qingzhou thieves."
"Not only did you not send troops to rescue Zaosong, you actually went to Dai County to secretly help the Qingzhou thieves."
"You are my son here. You are obviously a vicious wolf raised among the sheep, specifically harming your own people!"
Tuoba Liuxiu, who was kneeling on the ground, felt indignant when he heard that his father Tuoba Yilu had treated Youzhou Zaosong as one of his own.
Ever since Zaosong united with Duan Bu Xianbei, Tuoba Yilu had lost the reward from Youzhou. He had repeatedly clamored to find an opportunity to invade Youzhou, but he never regarded Zaosong as one of his own.
"The Great Chanyu is angry. The Qingzhou thieves raided Youzhou with such lightning speed that they couldn't cover their ears. It's not the fault of General Pu Sixth Cultivator!"
Supervisor Wei Xiong opened his mouth to defend himself.
At this time, Tuoba Yilu was tired and finally said.
"Since Youzhou has been occupied by Qingzhou, I think you should stop doing this, Lord of the East. After Xinping City is built, go there and become a Lord of the South."
After hearing Tuoba Yilu's words, Tuoba Liuxiu's heart was filled with anger.
Xinping City is a newly built city located in the northern part of Bingzhou. Most of the people there are refugees from the Jin Dynasty, and there are not many soldiers available at all.
Moreover, if he were to become a southern master, he would probably lose many of the grassland tribesmen and Tuoba Sixth Cultivators in the northern area.
Sure enough, Tuoba Yilu said next.
"You should go back immediately. You don't need to bring too many tribesmen to Xinping. You can just take five thousand settlers. I will make my own arrangements for the rest."
Tuoba Liuxiu was angry in his heart, but he could only hold back and agreed.
When Tuoba Liuxiu walked out, his face was already blue, and he was very angry that the tribe that had been in business for so long was taken away so easily.
Not far away, I suddenly heard the neighing of horses and the laughter of a group of people.
Tuoba Liuxiu followed the sound and saw a young man wearing a silk nobleman's robe, trying to ride a horse under the protection of a group of slaves.
"Is he the youngest son of the Great Chanyu?"
Wei Xiong, who was standing next to him, saw Tuoba Liuxiu's expression getting even more ugly and asked aloud.
"Yeah." Tuoba Liuxiu said in a gloomy voice.
"Isn't that steed that the general just dedicated to the Great Chanyu?" Wei Xiong exclaimed again.
That horse was a horse from the West, and it was said to belong to the breed of horses with blood. This time, in order to please his father, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator made up his mind and dedicated it to his father.
Unexpectedly, all my efforts to please him were of no use at all.
Not only did he lose half of his tribe, but even his most precious precious horse fell into the hands of his most hated younger brother, Tuoba Biyan.
At this time, Tuoba Biyan seemed to have seen Tuoba Sixth Cultivator. He whipped his horse hard and rushed towards Tuoba Sixth Cultivator.
When he ran closer, a horse stopped in front of Tuoba Liuxiu with a show of skill.
"Ah Gan, look, my grandma's horse looks majestic, but it is so docile to me!"
Tuoba Biyan was only twelve or thirteen years old, and there was still a childishness in his words. But to Tuoba Sixth Cultivator, not only did his voice sound harsh, but even the meaning of his words seemed to be mocking him.
Tuoba Sixth Cultivator clenched his fists, as if he could no longer hold back his anger.
At this time, the supervisor Wei Xiong next to him pulled his clothes and said softly.
"General, please bear with me for now."
Tuoba Liuxiu then loosened his fists, pretended to be a good brother, and chatted and laughed with Tuoba Biyan.
After just a few words of chatting, Tuoba Biyan felt bored and went off to play again.
On the way back to the past, Tuoba Liuxiu's heart was filled with resentment towards Tuoba Yilu and Tuoba Biyan.
=·=·=·=·=·=·=·
Youzhou, Zhuo County.
When the first snowflake of this winter fell in Youzhou, Liu Yu still stayed in Zhuoxian and did not return to Luzi.
Although Liu Yu's Han Dynasty now has officials at all levels and Taiwan Province, it is not a pure political power, but more like a two-member political power. Just like in history, after the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, each barbarian in the north The regime is like that.
However, among the many Hu people's regimes, in addition to the ruling households, the other part are their respective ethnic groups, that is, the 'Hu people' who are the cornerstone of each political power.
In Liu Yu's Han Dynasty, this group of people were military soldiers in various states, counties and counties.
As long as these basic fundamentals are mastered, apart from external enemies, it will be difficult for internal threats to arise from other sources.
Therefore, even if Liu Yu stayed in Youzhou for such a long time, he would not have any serious administrative inconvenience.
In the very center of Zhuoxian City is Wang Jun's original residence.
Although this mansion is not grand in scale, it was extensively renovated three years ago. Its magnificence is definitely not inferior to the palaces of the princes in Luoyang.
Compared with the mansion built by his father-in-law, Liu Yu's so-called 'palace' in Luzicheng was nothing more than a thatched shed.
Building such a magnificent and luxurious mansion can be described as extravagant and extravagant in an era with such backward productivity.
However, such a magnificent high-end mansion naturally has its own value.
Anyway, for Liu Yu, this extravagant mansion has already made a great contribution to him.
In the main hall of the mansion, a strong man in mink and gold, like a good baby, knelt down in front of Liu Yu respectfully.
The smooth scalp on both sides of his head was already glistening with fine beads of sweat.
This person is none other than Yuwen Xianbei, Shanyu Yuwen Mogui.
Under the guidance of Lang Guan, Yuwen Mogui paid homage to Liu Yu according to etiquette.
"Give me a seat!"
After everything was completed, Liu Yu ordered.
Yuwen Mogui thanked him for a while, and then he knelt down and sat down.
"I heard that General Yuwen attacked Duan Xianbei and killed many people. I wonder if there were many Han prisoners among them." Liu Yu asked.
"Your Majesty, I killed a lot of Duanbu thieves this time, but none of them were Han. I swear on my head!"
Yuwen Mogui jumped up, knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
After entering this mansion, Yuwen Mogui was overwhelmed by the overwhelming aura of wealth and wealth in the mansion.
He felt that any house here could be as big as his adobe Shanyu palace.
After seeing this gorgeous mansion, Yuwen Mogui completely believed what Vice Prime Minister Wang Chang said.
Wang Chang once told him that the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou had at least 150,000 armored soldiers. They were not farmers in rags, but armored soldiers who were able to fire bows and use spears and spears in formation.
Yuwen Mogui didn't believe it at first. How much wealth would it take to buy 150,000 armored soldiers?
He felt that the Qingzhou Han Kingdom had at most 20,000 to 30,000 armored soldiers, or even less.
Because Yuwen Mogui has his own complete chain of reasoning.
It can be used to confirm these guesses of yours.
