Chapter Seventy-Two
"The eldest princess of Yangxia said that if she doesn't tell the truth, it's not something you have to care about. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xu Ze's understatement blocked Xu Hui's curiosity, "What you have to do now is to have a good rest, recuperate, and prepare for the trip the day after tomorrow." ”
Hearing that Xu Ze just didn't tell him about the follow-up, Xu Hui lowered his shoulders and said dejectedly: "My granddaughter knows." ”
"Okay, okay, Hui'er, you're obviously not so disappointed, don't pretend to be like this." Xu Ze smiled lightly, then his face was solemn, and he said solemnly, "Huguan connects the east and the west, and it is the military town of my Shangdang County. The only thing I can absolutely believe in, and don't have to doubt, is Li Zhun's loyalty. ”
Hearing him start to get down to business, Xu Hui no longer messed around, but listened quietly and wrote down every word of Xu Ze.
"Zijian has never done things without going through his brain, and he is like Heng'er, arrogant and conceited. Heng'er is still a little reasonable, but Zijian always feels that we are the masters, and if we have given favors to others, others should be grateful to us and obey our words. When I heard that there might be a traitor among the many officials who were picked up by me, he would be furious and make a big fuss in Huguan. ”
Xu Hui raised his head, frowned slightly, and his words were a little puzzled, but more worried: "Grandfather is not afraid, the third uncle will act like this, will it make the officials of Huguan cold?" ”
Xu Ze bowed his head lightly and said casually: "If no one controls it and allows the situation to expand, it will naturally be, so I will hand over this important task to you!" ”
Hearing that he had such a heavy burden on his shoulders, Xu Hui was silent for a long time before he resolutely said: "The granddaughter will definitely live up to her grandfather's trust, but after all, the third uncle is an elder, and it is impossible to discuss everything with my niece who is not very old." If he doesn't listen to me, or if he knows something, and doesn't tell me, send someone to do it......"
"You can rest assured about that." Xu Ze waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Among the eight children of the third generation of the Xu family, Zijian treats others with the attitude of elders to juniors, but treats you like a friend. As long as you take my letter and say to Zijian, I command him to consult with you in all matters, and there will be no problem. ”
Probably because of like-minded interests, Xu Hui in this life has a very good relationship with her third uncle Xu Pan, so when he heard Xu Ze say this, Xu Hui stopped asking. Just went back to the house, ordered someone to pack up, and prepared to go.
Two days are fleeting.
On this day, Xu Hui and Qi Fang both got up early in the morning, and when the crystal clear morning dew was still on the branches and leaves, the two of them and many of Xu Hui's female dead soldiers, more than 100 subordinates had come to the outskirts of the city.
Seeing Qi Fang turning his head and looking at the city wall in the morning mist, where the shadows were not clear, Xu Hui asked casually, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
"I thought that Xu Fujun or Brother Xu would send us here." Qi Fang subconsciously answered Xu Hui's question, and then realized his gaffe, and just wanted to apologize, he saw Xu Hui's calm expression, and said very calmly, "Didn't you eat the practice banquet yesterday and get everyone's blessings?" That being the case, what is the significance of today's farewell like a passing scene, except for rejuvenating the teacher and attracting attention? ”
Seeing that she was so inappropriate, Qi Fang thought that the customs of the Central Plains were different from those of the border passes, after all, for the families of the border soldiers, every trip of the man may be an eternal farewell. Therefore, every time it is time to go on an expedition, the city is crowded with people, and everyone tries to stand on tiptoe and stretch their necks. Even if you can't see it clearly, you can't see it, you still persevering in searching for your relatives, greedily sketching familiar faces, as a treasure to remember for a lifetime. Therefore, seeing that no one from the Xu family came to send it, Qi Fang was extremely surprised, but thinking that Xu Hui was just returning to Shangdang County and not touching life and death, Qi Fang was also relieved.
Because of this, he didn't see the complicated glance and a little stunned after Xu Hui turned his head.
The customs of the Central Plains are very different from those of the border passes, and they are generally the same in terms of heavy parting. In fact, whether it was Mrs. Zhong, Xu Heng or Xu Su, they all wanted to come to see Xu Hui, but they were ordered by Xu Ze that no one was allowed to come.
Choosing to be a military general and fighting in all directions, you are destined to wander in one city after another, sleeping in the deserted wilderness and dense and cold mountain forests. How many trips in the future, no one can send you ten miles, rather than being sad in the future, it is better to get used to it now.
The more than 100 well-equipped and hurried troops, even if most of them did not have horses and could only hurry on their legs, were also the objects that the homeless people did not dare to provoke. Taking advantage of this rapid march, Xu Hui silently wrote down in his heart how many roads he had driven every day, calculated how much time it was, and asked Hu Ren about it from time to time to prepare for future wars.
"The current Da Yan clan of the Xiongnu Khan is the princess of the silver bell of Rouran." On this day, Qi Fang, who finished talking about the Hu people's combat methods, suddenly came up with this sentence, "You should know that the rules of the Huns have always cherished the young son the most, right?" This princess of the silver bell was an extremely beautiful and scheming woman, she bewitched the old Mai Khan's heart, made him indulge in her beauty and charm, and became more and more biased, and more and more fond of her young son. Unless the Xiongnu Luli Khan can't wait for the little prince to grow up, within six years, otherwise, the Xiongnu will definitely usher in a great civil strife! ”
Xu Hui's understanding of Zhuhu's affairs only comes from Xu Ze's half-understood teachings, in fact, due to the shortage of information, the two of them have extremely shallow understanding and understanding of Zhuhu. Just like now, Xu Hui thought for a long time before he asked in frustration: "Rouran...... Which tribe of the Xiongnu is it? Why am I not impressed at all? ”
When Qi Fang heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "If you think about it in the many tribes of the Xiongnu, even if you know the Xiongnu very well, you can't think of it!" ”
"Oh? In this way, Rouran is ...... A branch of Xianbei? As soon as Xu Hui finished speaking, he shook his head and denied his guess, "The Huns seem to be rough and open-minded, but in fact they are scheming and xenophobic. Even if it is my Han princess and relatives, they can only be the Khan's clan, not the Da clan. Even if they don't value their descendants, there is no reason for this position to be casually given to outsiders! ”
Hearing her say this, Qi Fang couldn't help laughing: "Yes, the Da Yan clan can't let outsiders sit, but if you have Hun blood, there's no problem, right?" ”
His two sentences before and after sounded extremely contradictory, but Xu Hui immediately grasped the key: "The so-called Rouran is a hybrid of the Huns and Xianbei?" ”
Qi Fang nodded and said, "Exactly." The Xianbei people were white-skinned and beautiful, and they were once not as strong as the Xiongnu, so the women in the clan were taken captive by the Huns, reduced to slaves, served by the Xiongnu nobles, and gave birth to children. After Xianbei was strong, and the Xiongnu divided and merged, although the Xiongnu captivated the Xianbei women a lot, but could not stand up for many years of war and trade, so that many Xiongnu and Xianbei people mixed together, plus the Qiang people in the northwest region, the gradually rising Turkic ...... These Hu people gathered together, gave birth to many children, and gradually became many tribes of the Tuoba Xianbei clan, and Rouran was the leader of the Tuoba Xianbei tribal alliance. ”
The Hu people in the hearts of the Han people are nothing more than the Xiongnu, Qiang and Xianbei tribes that have given great trauma to the Han people, if it were not explained by acquaintances such as Qi Fang, Xu Hui would not have known that the situation outside the customs is so delicate. Because of this, her mind was alive again.
the old overlord Huns; Xianbei, a new strong clan; Located in the northwest, the Qiang people who are ready to move to the north; the mixed-race Tuoba Xianbei; The Rising Turkic ...... The intricate relationship and the turbulent situation between each other happen to be an opportunity for the Han people.
Even if they do not create contradictions between the Hu people, the contradictions between them are equally acute. If you can send someone over to sow discord between them, and further expand your ...... No, not yet, the weight of the Shangdang Xu clan is not heavy enough, and not many people will believe what they have taken out.
She has to wait and endure until this family really grows up, and then she has the capital to manipulate the chess game and influence the general trend of the world.
Qi Fang didn't know what Xu Hui was thinking, so he just sighed lightly: "No matter how I pray, that old thing in Lu Li doesn't mean the slightest bit of wind and cold, and his body is extremely healthy." However, as long as he lives, the storm set off by Princess Yinling can only be restrained within a certain range, and it cannot cause the chaos that will make the entire Xiongnu turbulent, not to mention, it will also strengthen the alliance between the Xiongnu and the Rouran and Xianbei tribes. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Fang rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "Although Yanmen is known as an iron wall, its own family knows its own affairs, and the Hu people have 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Yanmen can still defend it." If the Huns attack on a large scale regardless of the cost, there is a shortage of people and food, and there is no support, and the family monarch will not last long, not to mention...... I'm really afraid that Xianbei will not take the previous route, and directly join forces with the Huns and make a detour to Yanmen......"
"Qi Langjun ......"
"It's not much use thinking about it now." Qi Fang cheered up, raised a smile, and said calmly and with a little relief, "If the Yanmen Gate is breached, you must be careful...... That's it, there's no accurate thing, what are we worried about! The young and strong of the Hu people have not yet grown up, and the real war will take seven or eight years, and the world is changing rapidly, and maybe by then, it will be another world. If you look forward and look backwards, you will not be able to become a big tool in your life, don't you say? ”
Xu Hui also smiled and affirmed Qi Fang's words: "You are extremely right, this is exactly the truth. After that, she looked at Qi Fang and said, "In two days, you will set off alone, even if you are on the official road, you must pay attention to safety." (To be continued.) )
