Chapter Fifty-Six: The Deal Comes to the Fierce General

After arranging for the military officials to take over and transfer this huge amount of materials, Tong Yuan paid a special visit to Li Dao to seek a deal.

Li Wei had long been thinking about getting a piece of the pie, so of course he received it immediately.

He greeted with a smile: "Haha, I heard that the Son of Heaven has returned the Dong family's things to Weiyang Jun, I don't know how the Dong family will behave?" ”

Tong Yuan also had a smile on his face, and said to Li Dao: "The Dong family will definitely fulfill its promise." There is another good thing to tell the general about this time. ”

"Oh! I wonder what's the good news? ”

Tong Yuan whispered slightly mysteriously: "All the places under the jurisdiction of the Dong family in Chang'an City belong to the general. ”

Li Dao's face remained smiling, and his heart was surging. He and Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Tong Yuan divided Chang'an City respectively, although he accounted for more, but Guo Yan and Fan Chou became more and more rampant, and they rarely discussed things with themselves.

If he can get these places, especially the treasury and the three city gates in the north of the city, then he Li Dao will almost control Chang'an, that is, the lord of the world.

However, Tong Yuan was not finished yet. "And I will go out of the town of Xiayang with Weiyangjun and others, between Tunluoshui and Huangshui, to guard the Dahan fence."

What the! Li Wei was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, he was most worried that Dong Bai and the junior in front of him would stay in Chang'an. That would take away his rights. After all, he used to be a retainer of the Dong family, and he must be tolerant of Weiyangjun and others.

It's so good now, he dreamed that they could return to Longxi and leave Chang'an, and his dream came true. Whether it's in Xiayang or going to Longxi, it's not in Chang'an anyway, and the pressure on him is much less.

Tong Yuan observed the slight change in Li Wei's expression, and he who usually kept smiling without revealing a trace, but now he couldn't control the muscles on his face and began to twitch.

Tong Yuanjian just proposed the deal at the right time, "However, there is one thing I hope that the general can give me and others full support, mainly on the side of soldiers and horses." ”

Of course, Li Dao knew that the benefits were not for nothing, as long as it did not involve his own rights and the Flying Bear Army and Huangzhong's righteous servants, he could consider it.

Tong Yuan made a request: "I hope that the general can hand over the captured soldiers and horses, as well as the people who are in distress in Sanfu, to us, and it will take a lot of labor to reclaim the fields in the future." ”

What? What is the requirement? These captives and forcibly conscripted coolies are a complete burden to consume food.

"Of course you can, the development of people's livelihood is not good, Tong Shaojun is a blessed person, it is best to leave it to you to resettle, we will definitely think it is a model. Are there any other expectations? Mention more, so that I can repay the favor of the Dong family. ”

Tong Yuan knew that these conditions were nothing to Li Dao, but the next point was a little difficult.

He continued: "The Dong family went out of the town of Xiayang, but on the other side of the Yellow River are Hedong and other places, where the White Wave Thieves, the Black Mountain Thieves, and the Southern Xiongnu are each other's horns, and it is extremely difficult to get rid of them. ”

"I heard that General Li has a group of soldiers and horses, which is led by Yang Feng, the former leader of Baibo. There were only four or five thousand people in the department, and he had only been separated from the Baibo army and joined the imperial court for only one year. A certain courage asked the general to cut his love, and let this soldier and horse help us guard the fence. ”

Tong Yuan was also nervous in his heart, his previous arrangement was a surprise to Li Dao, these were actually just smoke bombs, his real target was Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, and that person.

He sent someone to secretly investigate for a period of time before he learned that Yang Feng was an important leader of the White Bo Army before. Three years ago, Dong Zhuo sent Niu Fu to conquer the Baibo army but could not win, and last year the leader Guo Tai was killed in battle, and Yang Feng's troops had to surrender to Li Dao.

After knowing the situation, Tong Yuan was very disappointed for a while. Because he didn't receive Bai Bo Yang Fengbu, it means that he missed the closest and easiest celebrity to get.

However, when the idea of trading with Li Dao was born, this goal had already been determined, and he had not revealed his true goal, and he proposed a seemingly stupid deal earlier to prepare for this.

Li Wei thought to himself, "You still have a crush on my soldiers and horses." Hmph, I already knew. However, it is not his own Flying Bear Army and Huangzhong Yicong, but the newly attached White Wave Thief Yang Fengbu. ”

"It's also a strong army. Although he is not a descendant, but he moved his Li Dao's soldiers and horses, and he must raise the price, but he can't be cheap This guy who hasn't grown hair on his mouth yet. ”

Li Dao still looked so honest, and said: "Although this Yang Feng is from Baibo, he has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and I am about to do it for his lieutenant." He can indeed help you deal with the White Wave Thieves and the Southern Huns, but it's ......"

Tong Yuan could see at a glance that Li Dao did not disagree, but wanted to give him more benefits. Of course, he already had a plan to deal with it.

He smiled: "Of course there will be no loss to the general." More than 500 people from the Hu Zhen Department were stationed in the city, and they would not go to Xiayang County with us in the future, and all the troops would belong to the generals in the future. In addition, there are 100,000 stone grain and grass as a thank you gift for the general's soldiers and horses. ”

Li Wei was overjoyed, although he exchanged 500 people from Hu Zhen for 4,000 people from Yang Feng, the difference in strength was very large, but this Hu Zhen was a general from Xiliang, and with him under his hands, many internal affairs of the Xiliang army were easy to arrange and handle.

What's more, there are 100,000 stone grains and grass, which is really generous. He did not hesitate, and immediately agreed, and from then on, Hu Zhen belonged to Li Dao, and Yang Fengbu became Tong Yuan's subordinate.

Tong Yuan was also ecstatic in his heart, and even the corners of his mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably. If Li Dao wasn't secretly happy, I'm afraid he would still be seen to be strange.

Xu Huang and Xu Gongming were exchanged to Tong Yuan's subordinates in this way, which was also the first fierce general he could come into contact with and was more hopeful.

Tong Yuan liked this person more in later generations, and now he vows to make Xu Huang achieve more dazzling achievements than in history.

After that, he and Li Wei agreed on details such as exchanging news and protecting trade routes. Since there is no direct conflict of interest between the two sides, the discussions are progressing very smoothly in all aspects.

After the Son of Heaven and Li Dao were all arranged, Tong Yuan sent someone to play again, requesting that Haoyang be restored as a county, so that Dong Bai and Tong Yuan would directly rule the land of the three counties.

Haoyang has been built as early as the Warring States Period, because it is located in the north of Heshui, named "Heyang City". In the second year of Emperor Jingdi, it was renamed "Haoyang" and established Haoyang County.

However, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, land was annexed, wars broke out, famine was rampant, and the population was reduced by more than half. In the first year of Guangwu, he had to merge the declining Haoyang into Xiayang County. Now Tong Yuan has promoted Haoyang Township to a county, nearly two hundred years earlier than the restoration of the county in history.

July is the hottest month of the year, and everyone in Chang'an is like ants on a hot pot, looking forward to the final announcement of the Son of Heaven.

Finally, they were ambitious and ambitious, and they all waited for the moment when the Son of Heaven entered the vassals.
