Chapter 799 Countermeasures
A force was urgently assembled and drove out of Pingcheng in an instant, searching northward.
On the grassland north of Pingcheng, a group of tired people were resting.
"The Hedouling clan became furious when they heard that the king was in trouble. He led thousands of riders eastward from Shuo Fang to intimidate the Qi clan." Duan Fan, the former assistant prime minister, tidied up his appearance and came to the Wang clan. Whispering report.
The Hedouling clan is one of the tribes in the Tuoba clan alliance. They once lived near Daijun and had a close relationship with the Wuhuan Wang clan. They were later moved to the old land of Wuyuan to the west of Shengle to graze.
This department did not follow Tuoba Yulu to go south last year. The reason was that uncles and nephews Shi Le and Shi Hu from Shangjun were acting suspiciously and seemed to be trying to seduce the enemy. Shuofang and Wuyuan were close at hand, and the Hedouling clan was ordered to stay behind.
He Douling claimed to be the queen of Han Dahonglu Dou Zhang (doubtful).
Zhang Zitong was the prefect of Yanmen during the reign of Emperor Ling. Due to Dou Wu's disaster, he fled to the Huns and became a leader of the Moluhui tribe.
Tuoba Liwei once attached himself to the Luhui tribe, and later annexed its tribe.
During the Tuoba Yilu period, the descendants of the Luhui clan (Han name Dou Qin, great-grandson of Dou Tong, courtesy name Yu De) were ordered to take back their old tribes, move to Wuyuan from Daijun, and were given the surname He Douling's family.
He Doulingqin (Dou Qin) once accompanied the army to the south to rescue Jinyang, defeated Liu Yao, and made great military achievements. He was named Zhongyihou by the Jin Dynasty (doubtful).
The mother of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Dou, was born in the Hedouling tribe.
The Hedouling tribe is not from Xianbei, but one of the Mobei tribes that migrated south (grazing on the Zhangbei Plateau). They originally lived in the Lake Baikal area. They are good at making carts. The wheels are tall and have the most spokes. The Xianbei people Its name is translated into Chinese as "Gaocha" (because the local snow is very deep in winter, high-wheeled carts must be used), but the name Gaocha did not spread to Han Dynasty at this time.
In the Mobei grassland, these people are also called "Chile" - the Hedouling clan, the Hulv clan, etc. all originate from the Mobei Gaoche tribe.
The Hedouling Tribe was not one of the seven tribes closest to the Tuoba family due to bloodline issues, but they were still willing to support Tuoba Yulu's descendants, which greatly moved the Wang family.
I saw her wiping her tears and saying to the baby in her arms: "Shi Yiqiang, if you are restored to power in the future, you must treat the Hedou Ling family kindly."
Duan Fan listened on the sidelines Very speechless.
The Tuoba family is best at being ungrateful and treating benefactors well? Doesn't exist.
When Tuoba Li was weak, he attached himself to the Wuluhui tribe, the predecessor of the Hedouling tribe, and even married the daughter of Dou Bin, the leader of the Hedouling tribe. What did he do in the end? He killed his wife, deceived his two brothers-in-law, killed them all, and annexed his tribe.
"Princess, you still have to rush to Daijun as soon as possible." Duan Fan urged: "Even if it's not possible, you have to go to Dongmugen Mountain first."
The Dugu tribe was on Dongmugen at this time, and Liu Lugu did not participate in the sacrifice to heaven, so the tribe would not be leaderless.
"Where is the Helan tribe?" Wang asked.
"I went to Yixin Mountain before winter." Duan Fan said, "You can't go there."
Wang's heart trembled.
Dugu and Helan are both hardcore fans of Tuoba Yulu.
The Yixin Mountain where the Helan tribe is currently located is located near today's Ulanqab, the Dongmugen Mountain on the Dugu tribe is near Xinghe County, and the Wang family's home base is in Daijun and Guangning (today's Wulanqab) Zhangjiakou), which was the base camp of Wuhuan.
Of course, the Wuhuan forces are more complex and widely distributed.
The Qi family is also from the Wuhuan family!
Wang Jun's son-in-law Su Shuyan was also one of the Wuhuan leaders, and Wang Jun's chief secretary Qi Hong was born in the Wuhuan Qi family.
Since being severely beaten by Cao Cao, this ethnic group has been torn apart and lost the opportunity to rise. Currently, most of them have taken refuge in various parties as vassal forces.
Generally speaking, Wang and his son Tuoba Shiyiqian still have some capital, but the first priority now is to return to Daijun and Guangning, and use this as a basis to win over various tribes, protect themselves first, and then wait for opportunities .
However, how to go back is a problem.
What Duan Fan means is that the Helan tribe cannot go, and it may not necessarily end well if he does.
Tuoba Yihuai is almost an adult. If Helan Aitou does not support his nephew, does he support an outsider?
You must know that Tuoba Shiyiqian is the only legitimate son, while Tuoba Yihuai is the eldest son. Although the grasslands do not attach as much importance to the distinction between descendants and concubines as in the Central Plains, they still value it more or less. Once Helan Aitou has evil intentions, it is hard to say what he will do.
But Liu Lugu was Tuoba Yulu's son-in-law, and Yulu was very kind to him. He went to Dongmugen Mountain, and even if he didn't want to stand up for Wang's mother and son, he would not harm him.
Although Wang was only seventeen years old, he quickly figured out this truth, so he immediately said: "Then go to Dongmugen Mountain, seek shelter first, and then return to Daijun."
< br>Duan Fan hesitated for a moment and said: "Just as the princess said."
Finally, he added: "I wonder if the princess has any strategies after returning to Daijun?"
" Let's listen to my brother's opinion first," Wang said after being silent for a moment.
Wang's brother is called Wang Feng. He is currently farming and herding in Dai County and has a lot of people. If he wants to ask someone for help, his mother's family is the most suitable.
"The Wuhuan Wang family alone is not enough." Duan Fan shook his head and said: "After the Hedouling family initiated the righteous act, the Qi family may be frightened and dare not pursue too far. But this can only Self-preservation cannot be reset."
"The Dugu tribe must be fought for. Even if they don't surrender, they must maintain a good relationship."
"The three daughters of the king are married to the Yuwen tribe. If Buqin is not dead yet, we might be able to contact him. But this person is cunning and extremely greedy. It may not be a good thing to find him, so we should be cautious.”
“Actually, the Shao family of Jin Dynasty. You can also contact us. Although we have just fought, it is good to make use of this moment."
Wang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
After the Tianji Incident, the new party has gained an advantage in Shengle, the political center, while the old party is at a disadvantage. Many neutral tribes are still waiting and watching. If the new party continues to expand its advantage, their power will grow stronger. , the old party is in danger.
But then again, from a time perspective, the New Party must win in the end.
Because the differences between the old and new factions will gradually narrow, many of the current new party tribes used to be the old party, and everyone will become the new party sooner or later.
The Wuhuan Wang family actually prefers the new party politically, but they have a very good relationship with Tuoba Yulu, the representative of the old party, and the Wang family married Yulu as his wife, so the situation is like this .
In the end, the so-called dispute between the old and the new is likely to evolve into a dispute between traditional Xianbei culture and Chinese culture, covering a wider area than just a dispute between nomadic herders and farming.
Wang did not expect such a complex and profound problem. She just wants to save her life and fight for power for her son Shi Yiqian. Although Shi Yiqian is small, Wang can take power on his behalf.
"If the princess feels that the strategies I have said are acceptable, she can send an envoy now. If anything changes somewhere, there is always a place to go." Duan Fan suggested.
"Okay." Wang nodded.
After the rest, the convoy continued on the road, and the carefully selected envoys also quietly left and rushed everywhere. ******
Shao Xun received news of the civil strife in Xianbei after the silkworm ceremony in March, and he was immediately overjoyed.
If he didn't intervene in this matter, wouldn't he be called "Shao Thief" for nothing?
In the small courtyard in the mountains of Xiangling County east of Pingyang, he summoned Wang Yan, the commander of the left army, Pei Shao, the commander of the left army, Yang Chen, the right commander of the army, Yu Mi, the minister of the Xige Jijiu, and Zhongyang, the minister of the Liang Kingdom. Man, the central leader Mi Huang, the central guard Chen Yougen, the governor Liang Zong, the guard chief Shi Su Shuyan, the Sikong Liu Han and the newly appointed Taibao Pan Tao discussed matters.
Princess Yu Wenjun personally directed the palace people to prepare tea and snacks for everyone, like a happy hostess - in fact.
After her husband came back, her backbone also came back, and she resumed her role as a little woman.
"Go to the cubicle and listen, don't think about being lazy." Shao Xun hugged her and said.
“While you were away, I——” Yu Wenjun said softly.
"You did a good job when I was away." Shao Xun said in an encouraging tone.
“Have I helped you?” Yu Wenjun raised his face and asked.
"You helped me, you are very powerful." Shao Xun kissed her and said with a smile.
Yu Wenjun narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Go ahead, sit down and listen carefully, don't doze off." Shao Xun let go of his wife and said.
Yu Wenjun nodded and left.
Shao Xun felt the move, and his little wife became more and more charming, and the charm of a mature woman was undoubtedly revealed.
After coughing slightly, he came to the main hall of the small courtyard and sat at the top.
Everyone saluted.
"Let's get straight to the point." Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "Who comes first?"
Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you can't afford to use weapons now."< br>
"I know." Shao Xun said expressionlessly.
Pan Tao chuckled lightly and said: "Why does the king need to use weapons?"
"Oh?" Shao Xun looked over with interest and said with a smile: "I knew Yang Zhong had Come on soon."
Pan Tao stroked his beard and said, "After Yu Jijiu returned from Shengle, I heard about Chen Daiguo's affairs and suddenly felt that there was an opportunity to exploit."
“Where is the gap?” Shao Xun asked cooperatively.
"It's about the dispute between the old and the new." Pan Tao said: "The Qi family is extremely powerful. He has three sons. The eldest son Pugen is dead. The third son Huna was captured by the king's master. There are only two sons. He Li is worthy of being appointed as the king. However, according to what Yu Jijiu said, He Li is weak by nature and has always been looked down upon by others. ”
"What kind of place is Xianbei? A den of tigers and wolves! Can a cowardly man rule the tribes? Could he be a king? I predict that the tribes will definitely be separated. Even if they don't attack and kill He Li, they will not listen to orders and do their own thing."
< br>"Furthermore, although the old party suffered heavy losses, with more than fifty people under Yu Lu dead, the strength of the various tribes still exists. Don't you want to bring order to the chaos and support Yu Lu's son as the king?"
Speaking of this, Pan Tao stood up, bowed his head and saluted, and said: "Please contact Tuoba Yihuai and appoint him as Daigong."
Tuoba's official title has always been Daijungong, so he can be named Daigong. It’s considered a level up.
As for the acting king, he is self-proclaimed and does not count.
"This is a good strategy." Shao Xun said with a smile: "If I do nothing, act on behalf of others or restrain each other, and dare not take action for a moment, the situation will drag on, and He Li will barely hold his position. . But there is one thing, Yi Huai is just a young man, do you dare to take action?"
Pan Tao was silent.
This is indeed the biggest uncertainty in this plan.
I heard that Tuoba Yihuai is only eleven or twelve years old, but on the grassland, you have to be thirteen or fourteen to be considered an adult.
Besides, I don’t know anything about Tuoba Yihuai’s temperament. Does he have the courage?
In addition, Helan Aitou is also crucial.
Is he willing to bet the entire tribe in order to help his nephew ascend to power? Hard to say.
"Your Majesty." You Sima Yangchen said: "Maybe you can send an envoy north to find the location of the Helan tribe first and explore its intentions. If you are willing to contact the various tribes to raise troops, you can appoint Yi Huai as your representative. "Mr. If you don't want to, you can find someone else."
Shao Xun turned to look at Su Shuyan.
Seeing that he could not escape, Su Shuyan said: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to send out the king's troops at this time. Let's not talk about food and grass. If the king's division moves alone, Suo Tou will be frightened, and he will definitely hold together to keep warm and fight with all his strength. "
Shao Xun nodded secretly.
Isn’t this what Cao Cao did to Yuan Shao’s sons?
Strong external pressure actually encourages internal differences to give up and act in unison with the outside world.
With little external pressure, we started to do things internally.
"Shi Yijian's uncle Wang Feng first lived in Guangning and later moved to Daijun." Su Shuyan continued: "I know this man a little bit. He is ambitious but not very courageous. If the Qi family is aggressive, In order to protect themselves, they may contact other tribes and even Yuwen Xianbei to send troops together. If the Qi family lets them go, they may not be willing to stand up for Shi Yiqian. "
Shao Xun understood: you have to confuse people.
He carefully considered the situation on behalf of all parties.
If he had not intervened, the situation in Tuoba Xianbei would probably be in a strange state of balance. This balance may or may not be upset.
If he intervenes, it will add a variable, which may make the Qi family feel the pressure and make a fool of themselves. At the same time, it will encourage Helan Aitou, Wang Feng and others, which will eventually turn into civil strife, or Let it split.
In fact, the Sui Dynasty's method of dealing with the Turks in later generations was very classic. Let the enemy divide and then send troops to attack, which can achieve miraculous results.
The Northern Dynasties really understood the Hu people and came from the same line.
"We have to persuade Helan Aitou and Wang Feng." Shao Xun slapped his thigh and made a plan: "We have to send envoys to both places. Let's discuss it and find a suitable candidate with eloquence. Come out.”
