Chapter 837 Acting for the Duke but sitting inside


Chapter 837 Dai Gong Dan is sitting inside

After Wang Queer traveled north for a day, Shao Xun was still in Yinguan City.

He flipped through the military reports sent from other places without paying much attention.

Suotou fought several battles with Chen Yougen south of Sanggan River. Only Duanbu Xianbei achieved an extremely limited victory, and the remaining three battles were fought in the north.

The generals and ministers were afraid and did not want to fight anymore.

Fortunately, Tuoba Heli didn't seem to want to fight either. Taking advantage of the great victory, he began to withdraw in an orderly manner. The large group of troops went upstream along the Sanggan River, preparing to reinforce the direction of Pingcheng.

Chen Yougen forced all the generals and ministers to follow and pursue him, and they were entangled. There is no news yet.

Ding Ling and Zhai Shu contributed a not-so-funny joke: He first marched westward on Chen Yougen's order, but he took his time and returned immediately after hearing the news of Chen Yougen's defeat halfway.

I was doing switchbacks throughout the whole process, showing off my cunning to the fullest.

In the direction of Jingzhou, Wang Dun marched northward to attack Yiyang, but failed. He attacked Xinye again and killed the prefect Yu Fang.

The Xiongnu west of Tongguan seemed to be making some changes and wanted to gather their troops to march eastward.

At the end of last year, they killed Chen An, who surrendered and rebelled. Now, except for running Beiyishan and Shuofang, there is no major matter in the country. The only "fun" left is to cause trouble for Shao Xun. .

In the direction of Xuzhou, Zu Ti recruited troops and trained endlessly. The possibility of heading north again is not small.

Shao Xun did not give special instructions for most of these messages. Only the direction of Tongguan allowed him to save a little more attention.

The last piece of news is about the current war situation.

Helan Aitou finally got the news that the Jin army was marching northward. At this time, he had already gathered his troops and started to march eastward.

If nothing else, this old boy is very skilled at taking advantage. He actually wanted to take advantage of the Jin army's march north to attract He Li's attention, fight and pull, and pull the confused tribe to his side. go. After all, the situation of Qi's mother and son is quite bad now. After Shengle sent troops to attack, they can make a forced landing in battle and expand their power.

Everyone wants to bite off a piece of flesh from Qi’s mother and son.

On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, Shao Xun ordered Dong Wu to lead three thousand Xiuba to go north to Yinguan City. He himself led the Yinqian Youying, pro-army, Yi Congjun, Luonan Prefecture soldiers and some Huangtou's army rode northward with 30,000 steps. After crossing the water, they stationed themselves not far from the north bank and began to recruit.

To put it simply, Wang Queer came to fight a military war, while he came to fight a political war.

On June 12, after waiting and watching for a long time, the general of Mayi sent an envoy to negotiate for surrender.

He himself is a bastard. He doesn’t have many strong men, but he has a lot of old, weak, women and children.

After sending troops in the direction of Shengle and seeing the large group of cavalry commanded by Yin Xi roaring past the city, he finally made up his mind to surrender - if he didn't surrender, he might be attacked from the north and south by Helan Aitou and the Jin army. He can't continue to ride on the wall, he will always choose a side to surrender to.

On June 13, in the village on the north bank of the water, everyone came to pay their respects, but what Shao Xun was most interested in was a group of powerful Jin people.

“Seeing the great scroll of King Liang, I doubt it was in a dream.”

"Although Liu Kun ceded Xingbei, in fact Xianbei had already taken it for himself."

"We have been under Wuhuan's harsh politics, and Xianbei has been ravaged again, and we have suffered terribly. We have been waiting for Master Wang for a long time."

"Although I have bowed down to serve Hu, I have not changed my voice in the summer, and I have been looking south to Luoyang all day long."

"I have been miserable and humble for a long time!"

Shao Xun sat on Hu's bed and looked at He was speechless for a long time in front of a group of wealthy people who knelt down without saying a word.

Who the hell are these people!

There was a strong man named Xuhe who said that he was a native of Yin Hall and had helped Tuoba Yilu fight against the Huns. He was extremely loyal.

"Who are you, Liu Kun, who is engaged in Xuxiaozong (Xuxian)?" Shao Xun asked.

"Well, the clans are sparse." Xuhe said: "Although Shangdang is the county commander of Xuxiaozong, the ancestral grave of the Xu family is still in the Yin Pavilion."

Judge the location of a person's county commander. There are two criteria, one is the birth certificate, and the other is the location of the ancestral grave.

Xu Xian's ancestor moved to Shangdang early, where he had the founding ancestor. The Xu family was included in the surname of Shangdang County, and the family was obviously separated. Of course, the Xu family of Shangdang seems to have been almost gone.

There was also a strong man named Zhang Tong who came from Mayi and handed over a genealogy, saying that he was the one who was brutally exploited by Wuhuan and Xianbei successively.

Shao Xun was somewhat speechless while flipping through the brand-new family tree. Can he get away with cheating?

"The genealogy says that your ancestor is the brother of Zhang Liao in the late Han Dynasty, but you just said that he is the brother of Zhang Yang. Which one is it?" Shao Xun asked.

Zhang Tong's face froze, he didn't read it carefully before going out, he forgot it!

"Your Majesty, Zhang Tong's ancestor was Wuhuan, and his genealogy was newly compiled a few days ago." A rich man named Tian Zhi of the Tian family directly exposed Zhang Tong's background.

When Zhang Tong heard this, he immediately blushed and said, "My family has been farming and herding in Mayi for generations, how can you accuse someone of his innocence out of thin air?"

After saying that, he faced Shao Xun again and bowed: "Your Majesty, Tian Zhi is actually a descendant of the Budugen tribe of Xianbei. He was once a tribe member of the Tian family, but later assumed the name and claimed to be a famous tribe of Zhongxia."

Tian Zhi was so angry that he cursed: "My family is Tian of Qi State. What does the Miao descendant have to do with Xianbei?"

Zhang Tong was about to ridicule, but he saw Shao Xun's face darkened and he stopped.

Shao Xun returned the brand-new genealogy to Zhang Tong and said: "The genealogy is true." When the powerful officials and ministers saw it, they almost fainted. Is this okay?

Wang suppressed her smile, and when Shao Xun glanced over, she stopped laughing immediately and turned away. Apparently she was dissatisfied with pinching her jaw before and still remembers it.

Shao Xun looked at Tian Zhi again and asked: "Does your family have a genealogy?"

Tian Zhi was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes... yes. .”

"You'd better have it." Shao Xun nodded.

Badger Lang, Nian Liu, and Hu Tou stood behind Shao Xun, amazed by their father's handling.

Sometimes, what does it matter if it is true or false?

These Hu people are already land-based households. They have built manors and forts, and recruited Huhan villagers for farming and grazing. Although the main children of the family are not talented in literature, they are also literate. They are willing to follow celebrities. , then just cling to it.

As time goes by, what is false becomes true.

"Since we are a famous clan in Zhongxia, we must not rebel and do evil in the future." Shao Xun continued: "You may live in Mayi, farm in the Yin Pavilion, or have a homestead in the old county of Loufan. When you go back, you can help me organize the army. , guard the borders. If any Xianbei officials come to ask for food, grass, men, and horses, just tie them up and send them to the officials." Upon hearing this, everyone fell to the ground and said in unison.

"If there are any children in the clan who are skilled in bow and horse, you can choose to send one or two, and I will recruit them into the army at my discretion. Send a batch of grain, grass, cattle and sheep here to strengthen my military supplies."
< br>"Yes."

After giving these instructions, Shao Xun gave him two pieces of brocade and sent him home.

Next came the leaders of various tribes, mainly Wuhuan people, with a small number of Xianbei and Xiongnu people, and some miscellaneous Hus who took the name of Wuhuan or Xianbei.

If those half-truths and half-false rich people are still hesitant, then these tribes really came to defect to Kedun and Shiyiqian.

To a certain extent, Wang's appeal may not be any worse than that of her son Shi Yijian. After all, she is an authentic descendant of the Wuhuan nobles. With the two combined, these ministers no longer have any doubts and can just defect.

At this moment, when facing the nobles of the tribe, Wang was not as comfortable as she was a while ago. She seemed a little timid and occasionally wandered her eyes. She always glanced at Shao Xun quietly and saw that he had no objection before she dared to speak. .

"In the past, there was great chaos in the country, with old and new suspicions, and each other was killed one after another." Wang said: "Since then, the tribe has been separated, and Tuoba's power has declined. Now we beg for help from the Jin army to conquer the regicide and rebellion. Generations, you cannot sit back and watch.”

"Yes." After hearing this, the ministers responded in unison.

"Now there are more than 60,000 people who have surrendered from far and near. We can send out 20,000 victorious troops. We should gather them as soon as possible." Wang said again: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I still need the help of you adults. Restore the country. After that, there will be no difference in the reward.”

Shao Xun listened silently.

There is nothing transgressive in these words. He made the cause and effect clear and placed himself in a low-profile position.

Don’t give me a hard time, that’s fine.

When Wang saw that Shao Xun was not moving, she felt reassured and continued: "The Liang Wang of the Great Jin Dynasty marched northward. Wherever they passed, those with treacherous intentions restrained their hands, and the wolf-hearted people fled far away. Shi Yiqian——"< br>
Tuoba Shiyiqian was quietly looking at Hutou and others. When he heard his mother calling him, he immediately came back to his senses and sat upright.

Wang took his hand and came to Shao Xun and said: "If there was no King Liang, nothing would happen today. From now on, we should treat King Liang as a father."

Although Shi Yiqian was young, he also knew what "father" meant. He was a little reluctant subconsciously, but after coming into contact with his mother's stern eyes, he finally compromised and bowed to the ground.

The ministers didn't think it was anything. They were just doing it as a father's courtesy, and they didn't really treat him as his son, although this matter was indeed a bit disgraceful.

But to be honest, without King Liang, they would not have made up their mind to defect to him, and Shi Yijian would not suddenly have tens of thousands of people supporting him.

Furthermore, at the age of King Liang, it is not too much to be his second-father or something, it can even be said to be very suitable.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. What’s wrong with being an emperor or a Chanyu? If you are not angry, you can just find your place again when you become stronger.

Shao Xun coughed, took a jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into Shi Yiqian's hand as a greeting gift.

Then he looked at everyone and said: "If you have any relatives or friends, you can also call them to surrender. Those who surrender early will be innocent of merit, those who surrender late will only be exempted from guilt, and those who do not surrender will be slaughtered. You should tell all the ministries not to make mistakes.”

The ministers glanced at Mrs. Wang first and saw that she was silent, so they saluted Shao Xun one after another: "As ordered."

Shao Xun looked at everyone's expressions carefully and knew that they had different thoughts at the moment, some One may even regret surrendering.

But it doesn’t matter. In the face of the general trend, any small thoughts are useless and only add to the laughter.

The existence of Wang's mother and son accelerated the disintegration of the Qi's ruling foundation in the Yanmen, Mayi, and Xinping areas, making the Northern Expedition easier and smoother.

And he can also legitimately intervene in Tuoba Xianbei's internal affairs.

Shi Yiqian is still young, so he has to sit inwardly in everything, and his father will handle external matters for him.
