Chapter 342: Differentiation and Wooing

The banner of the Gongsun clan is still flying in the sky above Jishi Mountain, but the real owner of Jishi Mountain has changed. According to the agreement, all the clansmen of the Gongsun tribe, including Ah Man and Gongsun Dexiang, will not suffer any loss of private property, except for slaves, of course. The Gongsun tribe joined the Fufeng Army as a whole, but in Jishi Mountain, it will still expand in the name of the Gongsun tribe. In Sun Xiao's eyes, not only the chaotic grassland right now, but even the hateful Hejian County, how could it not be the object he was going to deal with? Jiang Shenghao, the damned county guard of Hejian County, actually dared to think of a trick to take advantage of the fire to rob the general when he was in trouble, and exchange the general's head for the favor of some people, then, it is time to pay some price. As for another place, Sun Xiao decided not to provoke the other party first, that is, Shannan County of the Qin people. The county seat of Shannan County was established in the Huolan Pass, and the tentacles not only controlled the large grassland south of the Huolan Pass, directly threatening the Dai County of Zhao State, but also monitored a large area north of the mountain pass.

Qin general Yingying, after receiving the head of the Xiongnu king Yemang, his popularity soared, and his prestige far surpassed that of other Qin princes in Qin, but King Qin Wulie ordered him to temporarily stay in Shannan County to control the movements of the Xiongnu tribes on the grassland, not only that, but also directly siphoned out half of the 20,000 iron horsemen under his command, so that the civil and military officials in Qin were confused for a while.

If King Qin Wulie didn't like Yingying, but when he led his troops to Hangu Pass, he left a will, if he died, Yingying would be the king, obviously a prince who won the heart of the king, but now, the form is very good. King Wulie of Qin pressed Ying Ying in Shannan County and did not let him come back.

Qin was speculating in the country whether the British military merits were too great, and the support of Li Xin had aroused the suspicion of the Qin king, after all, after Win Teng died in the battle of Hangu Pass, Li Xin had become the only commander in the Qin army. King Wulie of Qin is only over forty years old now, and it is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period.

As if to confirm the conjecture of many people, under the condition that Li Xin was placed in Hangu Pass and Ying Ying was pressed in Shannan County, one south and one north, thousands of miles apart. King Wulie of Qin promoted Wang Xiao, the former general of Li Xin's department, to be a general, and became a figure who could compete with Li Xin, and his son Wang Jian was the general of the Xianyang garrison and controlled the safety of Xianyang.

Another political star of the Qin State is rising, but the inside of what it represents is meaningful. Xianyang, which seems to be quiet, is actually an undercurrent, and everyone is guessing the true thoughts of King Qin Wulie.

However, these things are too far away from Sun Xiao. He didn't think about the intrigues above the court at all, in his heart, General Gao asked him to run Jishi Mountain and create another nest. He had to get this done well and build an impregnable fortress for the general.

From Gao Yuan's words, Sun Xiao understood one thing, that is, some people in Yan Kingdom. It is not good for the general, and these people are still unprovoked by the general. So the general must find a way out, and also find a way out for all the Fufeng brothers. Coming here by yourself is a dark line buried by the general, and when the time comes, you can give some people a good look, in this case, of course, the stronger the strength, the better.

Shannan County can't afford to mess with it, but the area here is too vast, and there are still a lot of opportunities in other places.

Sun Xiao sat on the main seat, smiling and looking at the two of them in front of him, it has been more than ten days since Jishi Mountain surrendered, and now, the Fufeng Army has completely controlled here, so the most dangerous work of reorganizing the army should be put on the agenda.

Since Gongsun Dexiang is the heir of the Gongsun family, then Aman doesn't have to put it in this place. Sun Xiao directly asked A Man to lead the three hundred cavalry under his command to Niulanshan Fortress and join Gao Yuan's command. After a year and a half, I'm afraid that these cavalrymen will recognize their barbarian patriarch. As for Sima Dexiang, after all, he is a female streamer, so he will stay here for a long time under the sign of the Gongsun family, and there will be no danger.

"The Gongsun clan has just joined my Fufeng army, and I'm really embarrassed to let the virtuous couple live separately!" Sun Xiao smiled on his face, and his mouth was apologizing to the two of them, but his tone was unquestionable, "It's really because my Fufeng Army is now preparing to march into Donghu, and it needs a brave general like the Aman Patriarch." And we here, but there is no real challenge, good men are determined in all directions, I think the barbarian patriarch must be very eager for the prancing horse battlefield, the pleasure of galloping, right? ”

Now that this has come to this, what else can be said? Ah Man could only nod again and again, "General Gao Yuan's reputation is far and wide, and it is the glory of my Gongsun clan warriors to serve under General Gao Yuan." ”

Sun Xiao smiled, "The patriarch said well, maybe the patriarch is still a little annoyed in his heart now, but in the future, you will thank me, my general is not a mortal, and he will rule the world one day, and those who follow him will definitely not suffer." Don't hide it from the two of you, two years ago, I was only a commander of fifty people, but in two years, my general allowed me to be able to command thousands of sons. Patriarch of the Barbarians, the future of the Gongsun tribe is great, of course, it also depends on whether you can strive for glory, in my Fufeng Army, regardless of origin, regardless of nationality, only look at the merits, only look at the contribution, you can establish meritorious service for the Fufeng Army, you are a slave, you can also be promoted to a general, you can only eat and not work, you are a hereditary noble, in our eyes, it is also a pile of shit. ”

"The general is right, Ah Man will definitely do his best!" Ah Man said yes again and again.

"Actually, Mrs. Dexiang should be allowed to go with the patriarch, but now that you and I have just formed an alliance, and there are still thousands of people in the Gongsun tribe here, there must be a backbone, you are right, you can only trouble Mrs. Dexiang to stay for a while, and when the situation here is a little, Mrs. Dexiang wants to go to Fufeng to reunite with the patriarch, there must be no problem." A sly smile appeared on Sun Xiao's face.

"It's not necessary, I'm used to living on the grassland, and I'm definitely not used to life over there." Dexiang shook her head repeatedly.

"It's easy to say, it's up to Mrs. Dexiang to do whatever you want when the time comes!" Sun Xiao said with a smile. "Then it's decided, the virtuous couple are about to separate, and there must be a lot of intimate words to say, so I won't delay the two. I have already written to conquer the Eastern Army, Lord Shi Jiang, as soon as the Aman patriarch arrives at Curie Pass, someone will come to meet him. Sun Xiao stood up and personally sent the two out of the big tent. Looking at the somewhat lonely backs of the two, Sun Xiao sneered.

If Ah Man goes to Fufeng, he will only become a fierce general who charges into battle, and here, he will also divide and divide step by step, gradually reduce the influence of Ah Man and Dexiang on the Gongsun tribe, and finally completely integrate all the people of the Gongsun tribe into the Fufeng army.

"Someone. Please Guo Laosi and a few of them come in! Sun Xiao yelled at the guards outside the tent.

The four old men in ragged clothes and wrinkles cowered into the big tent, stood in a row in the middle of the big tent, hesitated a little, and all knelt in front of Sun Xiao with a bang, their hands on the ground, and their foreheads almost touched the ground.

"What are you doing here?" Sun Xiao, who was about to speak, was taken aback by the movements of several of them, "Get up." Get up! ”

On the ground, a few little old men were full of panic, no matter what Sun Xiao said, they just knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. finally annoyed Sun Xiao, "Get up, if you don't get up again, you will pull out the skull and cut off the skull!" ”

A few little old men got up in a panic. Looking at their appearance, Sun Xiao couldn't help but sigh, these are all from the Central Plains. I don't know when it was taken captive by the grassland tribes, and it was obvious that they suffered a lot.

"A few old men, this will be the general of the Fufeng Army, the Dayan people, not those Hun nobles, you don't have to be afraid, and we came this time, we also saved you from the sea of suffering, from today on, you are no longer slaves, you are free!" Sun Xiao looked at them and emphasized again: "You are free, understand?" ”

Freedom, for these people who have been reduced to slavery, is something that is out of reach, and once freedom really comes, they are a little overwhelmed. You look at me, I look at you, I open my mouth, but I can't speak.

"Your name is Guo Laosi, right?" Sun Xiao looked at an old man with a gray beard standing in the middle, and said with a smile: "I know that you, those people from the Gongsun tribe have mentioned you, and looking at your appearance, you are better off than others!" ”

Sun Xiao originally meant to talk and relax their emotions, but when Guo Laosi heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down again, "General, I'm just a farmer, and I have some experience in farming, so those Huns look down on me, and I've never done anything bad." ”

Sun Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "I know, I understand, you get up and speak." ”

"The four of you, I have inquired, among the nearly two thousand slaves on this stone mountain, they are considered to be highly respected and speak with great weight, so I came to you because I have something to discuss with you!" Sun Xiao cut straight to the point.

"Don't dare, don't dare, if the general has any orders, just ask the little ones to do it!" Guo Laosi is finally a little more normal.

"You can't say that." Sun Xiao shook his head: "I said earlier, you are no longer slaves, you are free, that is naturally freedom to come and go, you can go wherever you want, you can do whatever you want, we are not your new masters, you have to understand this." ”

Several old men swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Sun Xiao with some uneasiness.

"However, I can personally give you some advice, now there is chaos on the grassland, not only the rout of the Huns, but also the number of horse bandits, if you leave the protection of our army, it is very likely that you will fall into the hands of these people again, then your life may be lost. Moreover, our Fufeng Army is here to take root, and we also need your manpower, if you are willing to stay, we are very welcome. We will build you houses, and those fields that were originally cultivated by you will also be distributed to you, and they will be yours forever, and the Fufeng Army will give you land deeds, and from now on, those will be your land. Sun Xiao said slowly.

"General, are you telling the truth?" Guo Laosi's eyes widened, "We are basically homeless people, if that's the case, I don't think anyone will leave here." ”

"Of course it's true." Sun Xiao smiled, "As long as you are willing to stay, we will send these things to you immediately." ”

"Then we'll all stay and not leave." Several old men nodded immediately.

"Can you call the shots?" Sun Xiao looked at them. "Let's go back and discuss with them first, and tell them that if you are willing to farm, we will give you land, livestock, farm tools, and houses, and those who are willing to join the army will be able to join the army immediately, and the military salary will definitely be higher than the income from farming."

"We'll go back and talk to everyone right away!" Guo Laosi and the others were all excited.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." Sun Xiao smiled and said.

He Lanyan, who had been curled up in the corner of the big tent, looked at the few old men who had left, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Sun Xiao, do you want to be so troublesome?" Pull out the knife, are you afraid that they will not want to? ”

"Leader, you can't do this!" Sun Xiao said with a smile: "What we want is that they are willing, think about it, these people have no long things, they don't even have personal freedom, the whole is someone else's property, now, we give them the land, so that he can join the army and make meritorious contributions, can become an officer, can have a good background, think about it, will these people die for us in order to maintain what they have won so hard?" Because only we give them these things they dream of, and this also sets up a mold for those wandering people on the grassland, and now most of the Xiongnu tribes have collapsed, but I am afraid that there are many of these slaves wandering on the grassland, and when they hear the news, will they jump to vote? The general sent us here to establish a base area, so that we can plan for the future, but to build such a place, there must be someone as the foundation. So, the first step is to make this place prosperous, and with enough people, a lot of things can be done! ”

"That's all there is to it?" He Lanyan asked.

"Of course not!" A sinister smile appeared on Sun Xiao's face, "I'm going to wait for everything to stabilize and the Jishi Mountain Fortress has a certain size, and then I'll go to Hejian County for a trip." Since Yan Shenghao has the courage to hit the attention of our general, he has to pay a little price. (To be continued......)
