Chapter 254: Sending troops
In Liaoxi County, Youzhou, on the northern grasslands of Liaodong, there is a brave and warlike minority tribe, and the Han people in the Central Plains call them Wuhuan tribes.
In 187 AD, Zhang Chun, the prime minister of Zhongshan, rebelled against the imperial court and plundered the population and property of You, Hebei and Qing Prefectures together with Qiu Liju, the chief of the Wuhuan tribe at that time.
At that time, Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, ordered his cavalry commander Gongsun Zan to lead an army to defeat the Wuhuan tribe.
Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others fought in Shimen and won a big victory.
Since then, Gongsun Chan has shocked the northern frontier, but at the same time, Gongsun Chan has also made a feud with the Wuhuan clan.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao exterminated Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, the Wuhuan clan also sent some soldiers and horses.
After the victory, Yuan Shao gave the Wuhuan a large amount of goods and food to express his gratitude.
Yuan Shao's overture, the Wuhuan clan gladly accepted.
Not only did they receive great benefits during the war, but they also received a lot of gifts from Yuan Shao.
This made the Wuhuan tribesmen very happy, and quickly returned to their own territory.
One wants land and population; One asks for goods and food, and every man takes what he needs.
Therefore, the Wuhuan and Yuan Shao established a good friendship relationship.
On the basis of good friendship relations, Yuan Shao paid a lot of money and goods, and introduced many excellent war horses from the Wuhuan tribe to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
With the increase in the purchase and sale of the two parties, the relationship between the two sides became closer, and finally an alliance was reached.
In order to consolidate the power of the alliance, Yuan Shao married the Wuhuan clan and married the daughter of the same clan to the Wuhuan clan leader Bun Dun as his wife.
In the world, the most unreliable thing is the relationship between people.
The interpersonal relationship between the world depends on love, three points depends on love, seven points depends on love, and the remaining 90% is for interests.
Someone once said: "There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests." ”
I don't know if it's true or not, but it's really sad!
But what's even more tragic is that many people agree with him.
......
At the same time as Yuan Xi and Zhang Liao and others were fighting in Youzhou, Yuan Shao arranged for his loyal strategist, Feng Ji, to envoy the Wuhuan clan.
Feng Ji's visit to the Wuhuan clan was Yuan Shao's backhand for the Youzhou war.
The task of Feng Ji, who can speak well, is not to directly persuade Badun to send troops, but to adapt to the situation according to the actual situation.
If Yuan Xi can defeat the Fenwu army, or can hold Youzhou; Feng Ji had a good time talking to Badun about the sale of horses, and appeased Badun and asked him to stay in the north of Youzhou honestly.
After all, Youzhou at this time belonged to Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Xi was unfortunately defeated by the Fenwu army, Feng Ji persuaded Bunton to send troops.
After all, Youzhou at this time is not Yuan Shao's, or it will not belong to Yuan Shao.
There is such a thing as territory, which is only in one's own hands.
What does the territory in the hands of others have to do with oneself?
When Feng Ji received the news that Yuan Xi had retreated to Yuyang County, although he knew that Yuan Shao would increase his troops for Yuan Xi, he also knew what he should do.
Feng Ji tidied up his clothes, then came to the door of the main tent of the Wuhuan clan, and said to the Wuhuan warrior at the door: "Please tell me for me, I ask to see the king of the Wuhuan clan." ”
The Wuhuan warriors guarding the gate looked down on the Han people in the south, so they said to Feng Ji: "You wait here first." Then he turned and went into the account.
The big tent was filled with the extravagance of gold.
It seems that the people of the grassland like this tone, and they pile a lot of gold in the big tent, and they are not too crowded.
When Badun heard the advice of the warriors at the door, he said to the difficult buildings around him, Su Fuyan, Wuyan and others: "Everyone, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is no news that cannot be transmitted.
Yuan Xi of Youzhou has been defeated and can only defend in Yuyang County.
Feng Ji's visit must have wanted us to send troops to defend Youzhou for them and not be taken away by the Fenwu army.
Tell me, how much money and food do we need this time? ”
After the death of Qiu Liju, the former chief of the Wuhuan clan, because his son Lou Ban was young, he asked the brave and fierce Badun to replace Lou Ban as the temporary big leader.
After Lou Ban grew up, Badun returned the position of the big leader to Lou Ban.
Lou Ban thanked Badun for his kindness, and called Badun the king, so the entire Wuhuan clan was commensurate with Badun as the king.
Nanlou and the others were only looking at the horse, so they said one by one cateringly: "We all listen to the king." ”
Seeing his subordinates, he laughed and said, "Okay! Don't worry, I won't suffer. ”
Then he said to the Wuhuan warrior guarding the door, "Let him in." ”
After Feng Ji entered the big tent, he just sat down.
Then he said to Bunton: "Lord Wuhuan, I don't know how you think about the price of horses that we discussed a few days ago?" ”
Bun Dun's face was full of displeasure, and he said with disdain: "You Han people are extremely hypocritical, and you can't speak directly. Are you here to negotiate the price of horses?"
The disdainful expression and words, coupled with the rough dress of the Wuhuan clan, made Feng Ji's heart confused.
I saw Feng Ji's face showing embarrassment, so he had to secretly say in his heart: "These barbarians, who don't know how to count, why should I be like them?" ”
Feng Ji said with a smile on his face: "Lord Wuhuan King's eyes are like torches, I am indeed here for something else." ”
Seeing that his actions frightened Feng Ji, he was overjoyed.
So he smiled, patted Feng Ji's thin shoulder and said, "Look! That's how good, there's fart, there's something to talk about. The whole roundabout routine made me adapt. ”
Feng Ji felt the fan-like big hand on his shoulder, and said in his heart: "Grandma, you can talk when you speak, what are you doing with me, I don't know how it hurts!" ”
But now Feng Ji is asking for others, so Feng Ji has no choice but to laugh and say: "Lord Wuhuan is right!" I'll keep it in mind.
We are temporarily at a disadvantage in Youzhou, so we ask Lord Wuhuan to lead the warriors of the clan to defeat our enemy. ”
Badun replied mercilessly: "What does your territory have to do with me? Why should I send troops? ”
After listening to Badun's words, Feng Ji knew that Badun's words meant to talk about the price.
Therefore, he said to Badun: "How can my lord let the lord send troops in vain.
My lord said that if King Wuhuan is willing to send troops to help, whether it is successful or not, we are willing to give King Wuhuan 100,000 taels of gold, 300,000 stone of grain, plus 30 beauties as military expenses for this expedition. ”
After hearing this, he said to Feng Ji with that disdainful expression: "Your lord is getting more and more stingy. The cost of sending me troops is getting lighter and lighter.
According to the information I have received, there are a lot of people in the Fenwu Army this time, at least 100,000 people.
If I want to send troops, I will send at least 100,000 troops.
So many troops, just such a thing, this is to send food?
Your father-in-law is known as the 'Fourth World and Three Princes' in the Central Plains, and many people give him face.
But with me, he's a piece of?
His face does not have the reality of golden grain. ”
Feng Ji was very unhappy when he heard that Yuan Shao, his lord who insulted him like this.
But when people ask for help, they have to bow their heads.
At this time, Feng Ji probably understood a sentence: "It's hard to eat, and it's even harder to ask for someone." ”
Feng Ji had no choice but to say with a numb scalp: "Lord Wuhuan King thinks what price is appropriate, please tell me." I'll have someone report it to my father-in-law as soon as possible. ”
It is said that women turn their faces quickly, and that is because they have never seen a man when they talk about price.
Because when the man changes his face when talking about the price, there is basically nothing to do with the woman.
I saw Bun Dun gently say to Feng Ji: "We have been friends for so many years, and I can't open my mouth." Double it! Doubled and I sent troops. ”
The look of disdain just now disappeared without a trace, as if it was not a sluggish expression.
Feng Ji thought about it in his heart, and then said: "Please wait a few days, Lord Wuhuan, and I will ask my lord." ”
Badun said to a Wuhuan warrior outside the tent: "Do you hear it, hurry up and choose a fast horse for the envoy." Delayed things, I peeled your skin. ”
I only heard the sound of a rush running outside the tent, from near to far.
Feng Ji arched his hand at Bun Dun and said, "Lord Xie Wuhuan." ”
Badun also arched his hand and said: "Small things, small things, if you have any requirements these days, just say it." ”
......
When Feng Ji came out of the big tent of Bang Dun, the smile on Bang Dun's face disappeared instantly.
I only heard Badun's subordinates Nanlou, Su Fuyan and others complaining to Badun: "King! Even if it is doubled, the price of this army is not very high. ”
After hearing this, he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart: "Hey! There are so many people, and not one of them can understand what I mean. How can a short-sighted person know my ambitions? ”
Badun had no choice but to explain to Nanlou, Su Muyan and the others: "This price is indeed not very high. Is the big head still behind? ”
Nanlou, Su Fuyan and the others asked puzzledly: "Big head? Will Yuan Shao give us a big head? ”
He smiled and said, "After the 100,000 warriors of our Wuhuan clan entered the customs and arrived in Youzhou, why did they still listen to Yuan Shao?
When the time comes, it's up to us to grab as much as we want. ”
After listening to Tadton's explanation, everyone instantly understood Tadun's thoughts, and they all laughed proudly, and took the initiative to ask Ying to go with the army.
It was as if the countless gold and beauties were placed in front of his eyes.
Seeing that his subordinates were still a little brainy, he happily replied: "Don't worry! This time, everyone went together. As for how much you can get, it depends on the individual's ability. ”
Ten days later, Feng Ji received a message from Yuan Shao: "Promise him!" Everything is based on keeping Youzhou. ”
Another day passed, and the various tribes of the Wuhuan tribe moved frequently.
Kebineng of the Xianbei tribe in Youzhou, next to the territory of the Wuhuan tribe, gathered his men and horses at the same time as the Wuhuan tribe mobilized and actively prepared for war.
When he detected the Wuhuan army heading south, Kirby was relieved.
said to Zhang Dang beside him: "Send someone to Taiyuan County to tell our ally, Han Cheng." Let's just say that the Wuhuan clan has sent troops, and nine times out of ten they are going to him, let him pay attention. ”
After Zhang Dang left, Kirby Neng secretly said in his heart: "Han Cheng, we are allies, I have already done a lot, as for the result, it is not something I can control." ”
