It is impossible to rely only on Ballian Chinu and He Changxing to check and balance each other, so Linghu Feng still has follow-up skills.

After dawn, Ballian Jueqian and his assembled subordinates surrounded Ling Hufeng and others who were wandering around the pasture, but at this time the news had spread, and he thought twice, after all, he did not dare to kill his father in front of his mother, sister, and people.

After smiling and persuading Jue Qian to dissuade, Ling Hu Feng showed a series of follow-up methods in his plan, which made Xin Er breathtaking, if it weren't for this person's unbearable temperament, he would have been convinced.

Linghu Feng's follow-up actions can be roughly divided into three steps.

First of all, he declared to all the people of the Chiloudan tribe that he had to do this as a last resort, and that it was the Chinu who was ungrateful and plotted against him, so that he had to fight back; After taking the righteousness, he summoned the remaining leaders of the Chilou Dan tribe, selected those who were usually oppressed by the Chinu, and divided the few Chinu cronies who were killed equally among them, and commended the two Chinu cronies who refused to savior with great fanfare, saying that they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and understood the righteousness.

Second, he demanded that the Red Nu give an order to the people to return the women, slaves, and livestock grain that had been stolen from the He cadres.

In the end, he ordered He Changxing and Ballian Jueqian to divide the left and right departments, and Sasuke Chinu to govern the ministry.

Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and Ling Hu Feng has made great contributions to the Chilou Dan Ministry, but the Chi Nu wants to betray him, which is indeed wrong, and alleviates the resistance of the people of the Chilou Dan Ministry. Divide the people who were killed to the long-awaited Xiaolu, and in order to keep the benefits in their hands, they will definitely not be happy to see the red slaves turn over. As for the two traitors, their reputation was so bad that they had no choice but to hold on to Ling Hufeng's thighs.

Through this first step, Linghu Feng made something out of nothing and obtained some of Chi Loudan's small support.

While using this part of the power to suppress the He cadres and Xiaolu, through the second step, he won the gratitude of many He cadres and people.

Although the source of the fall of the He cadres actually began with Ling Hu Feng, first, most of the people of the He cadres did not know that Ling Hu Feng was voluntarily used as a "bait", and second, even if he knew, Ling Hu Feng did not kill them alone, nor did he rob them at all, from beginning to end, he was just evading their capture, and the people who killed and looted were all the people of the Chilou Dan Tribe, in comparison, of course, those thugs who did it were more hateful. Linghu Feng not only did not kill them and rob them, but also returned their robbed things, women, and slaves to them, and in the hearts of the vast majority of the He cadres' subordinates, Linghu Feng was really a good person who saved their lives.

got the refuge and favor of the middle and low-level small rates and the people of the two ministries, and finally took the red slave as the master of the two departments, but he was paired with an enemy, and then with a son who was "eager to take over" as a deputy, and in a short period of time, the high-level could be safe.

These three different techniques, combining interests with people's hearts, are really turning their hands into clouds and manipulating the two parts in the palm of their hands.

Xin Er said in his heart: "No wonder he is plotting to usurp the throne, claiming that the destiny of heaven is in his body, looking at his means, he is really good!" Thinking of the fact that he used himself as bait and was not afraid of danger, he thought, "He has both means and does not hesitate to die, which can be described as a hero." ”

changed his previous perception of Ling Hufeng, and no longer only thought that he was unkind and cruel.

The night after capturing the Red Slave, he changed his residence with everyone and changed to live with He Cadre, and "respectfully" invited, the Red Slave and his wife and daughter also moved to He Gan, and the son of the Red Slave, Jue Qian, would never go to He Gan, let him follow; After stabilizing the situation, the large rate account was also relocated to the He cadres.

On the third day of capturing the bald red slaves, the envoy who was sent to the royal capital by the red slaves came back, followed by two subordinates of the king of Dingxi, and saw Linghu Feng sitting on the high, these two subordinates were shocked, and there was nowhere to escape.

After Linghu Feng inquired about the current situation of their royal capital, he casually ordered Cao Fei to kill him. The messengers of the Red Nu were also killed.

In the next few days, Linghu Feng worked non-stop, day and night, and saw the real power of the two ministries one by one, each to his liking, made great promises, and boasted to them that he would be able to return to the royal capital and ascend the throne in a few days.

In order to dispel the suspicions of these people, Ling Hufeng took out a thick stack of letters and showed them them, saying that these were all written by his old military department and the ministers loyal to him in the court, and they had agreed to do something in the coming spring.

Some of these powerful people know the Tang character, and they will take a closer look at the letter.

It looks a little like that.

Each letter is a great expression of loyalty, and the handwriting is different, and the words are different, some are elegant, some are made of words and crepes, they cannot understand what they are talking about, they can only guess, some are vulgar, they can understand, and even there is a bloody letter, which is indeed like the handwriting of different people, although it cannot be completely dissipated by this, but everyone is also half skeptical.

After all, Linghu Feng was the dignitary clan of Dingxi Kingdom earlier, and now the uncle of the King of Dingxi is famous and majestic, and the nobles and petty leaders of the two departments are all known, no one knows, and maybe he can really make a comeback?

As everyone knows, these letters are all written by Fu Qiao.

Fu Qiao can write good books, seal Li Kaixing, and even Fang Xing's Jincao, he can also write two strokes, and he dare not say that he is proficient in all kinds of fonts, but if he changes a few ways to write, there is no problem at all with Hu Ren, who is confused but knows some Tang characters.

The vulgar words written by the pretending to be a military general in the letter, Fu Qiao will not, the blueprint comes from Cao Fei.

In addition to books, Fu Qiao can also paint, and the Spring Palace that Hu Feng used to attract the attention of the red slave is also his masterpiece.

At the end of autumn and winter solstice, there was some snow on this day.

The pasture grass is exhausted early, only dead stems and stumps are left on the pasture, and the snowflakes are falling, and the desert in the distance is a little white. The horses were kept in a circle by the Hunus, huddled for warmth. The cold wind is biting, wearing two layers of fur is still too cold, in this kind of weather, the hard-working herdsmen do not want to go out without anything, the tent road in the vast camp of the two tribes, occasionally see someone holding their arms, the pace hurriedly walked.

Linghu Feng summoned Xin Er and others to his tent.

There were several roaring braziers in the tent, and it was very warm.

Fu Qiao was the last to arrive, he really couldn't stand the cold, the skirt was wrapped in a thick layer of felt, as soon as he entered the tent, he hurriedly went to the brazier to roast his hands, the cold and heat forced him, sneezed, snot flowed, wiped off with felt. The felt was rough, and his nose was red. He sighed: "This place is only a few hundred miles away from the royal capital, but how can it be so cold than the royal capital!" ”

Cao Fei was often in the army in previous years, or fighting or moving defenses, his residence was uncertain, he was familiar with the water, soil and climate of various places, and said with a smile: "There is no shelter outside this place, the desert is half-winding, and it is close to the pig wild water, which will naturally be much colder than the winter in the royal capital." ”

Xin Er was also shivering from the cold, and said: "The Hu tribe in Zebian lives here all day long, and it is also bitter. ”

He took the hot tea handed by Zuo and held it in the palm of his hand to keep warm.

Zuo Shi also presented tea to Jia Zhen, Fu Qiao, and Cao Fei, stepped aside, and whispered to the two children who were playing with toys not to speak.

Linghu Feng smiled: "The Hu people are different from us. They are naturally accustomed to this, and they are not afraid of the cold. ”

Xin Er said in his heart: "The same person, how can there be someone who is willing to suffer all year round?" There was no need to refute Ling Hu Feng for this little thing, so he just thought about it, didn't say anything, and took a sip of tea.

Linghu Feng said to everyone: "I tell you, you will trample that old dog under your feet and collect two parts for my use." How? Am I doing what I say I will and not bragging, am I? ”

Everyone said: "The Lord is a god, not a minister can be measured." ”

Linghu Feng said to Fu Qiao: "Old Fu, when I said this that day, you seemed to be a little unimpressed, how is it now?" ”

Fu Qiao said in his heart: "Where do I disagree? Chang Yi said, "The Lord is wise. ”

"This time you have also made meritorious contributions, those two Spring Palaces and a few letters are really good, especially the Spring Palace picture,...... Is it your own experience? Tsk, vivid, wonderful. Linghu Feng came back to his senses and said, "I will write down your merits for you." ”

Fu Qiao is sincere, but he can't pass the test in color, so he accepted the use of Linghu Feng, one of the main reasons is that he can't refuse the gift of the beautiful maid and slave, since he is lustful, he has a little research on the spring palace, Wushi San and other things, and the spring palace map is very famous in the royal capital. Although he was quite complacent about this, but Ling Hu Feng said this about him in front of his wife and children, he suddenly blushed with shame, and felt that he couldn't hold his face, half of his body bowed, his head was about to hang to the ground, and he said: "It is the duty of a minister to share worries for the Lord." ”

"Oh? It's rare for you to be loyal, and in order to live up to your loyalty, I have another great contribution for you. ”

"Huh?"

"What? Don't you want to do anything for me again? ”

"......, the minister's liver and brain are smeared, let the lord drive him."

"Good!" Linghu Fengxian didn't give him a task, buried a pass, let him guess, and turned to everyone and said, "Although there are two departments in hand today, if you want to return to the capital, it is not enough to rely on these Hu people." "Ask Cao Fei, Xin Er, and Jia Zhen, "What do you think?" ”

Cao Fei said: "Although these Hu Mu are good at riding and shooting, they can't be restrained by military discipline, and the armor is far from enough. The Taima that the minister commanded before, without too many, three or two hundred horsemen can slaughter two of them! ”

There are two elite troops in Dingxi, one is the hoplite, called the soldier, and the other is the hoplite, called the horse, the so-called hoplite cavalry, that is, the armored cavalry, the man and the horse are armoured. Most of the armored cavalry is covered with leather armor, such as the Tabby Assault Cavalry of Wei Guosheng, and the elite of the armored cavalry is all iron armor, not afraid of swords, arrows are difficult to penetrate, and when impacting, it is like a torrent of steel, and only momentum can scare weak enemies. There are about thousands of people in control of the strings of Hegan and Chiloudan, and it is possible to use these thousands of horses to rob the people of the Tang people, or to fight with the infantry and light cavalry of the Tang people, but if you face the horses, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Cao Fei said that three or two hundred horsemen could destroy two of them, which was a bit exaggerated, but in short, Hu Mu was indeed not an opponent of an elite armored horse like Taima.

"Not bad. It's okay to use Hu Muzhuang's momentum, but they can't fight tough battles, and they have to rely on our people to attack the city. Ling Hufeng rubbed his beard and said, "That day, I forced Song Zhen and Koi Qiang, and they said that they were ...... cubs" raised his eyes and looked at Cao Fei and the others, "Killing is on a large scale, indiscriminately, killing a lot of our relatives and friends, hateful and annoying!" ”

Cao Fei and others' relatives and friends were implicated and killed a lot. The Zuo clan bore the brunt, the clan was overthrown, and none of Cao Fei's close relatives survived. Hearing Linghu Feng mention this, Zuo's wept, and the rest of the people were all resentful and gritted their teeth.

Linghu Feng continued: "Every time I think of this, my heart aches like a hinge. But it is precisely because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents by the dog cubs, and now the people in the country are panicking, and this is the time when we can wait, so I want to send people to contact my old army and my uncle, and agree with them to raise righteousness, and all the armies will rise up at once, let's kill back to the royal capital, cut the dog cub with a thousand knives, and avenge the old relatives and friends who died in vain! Why do you want to do that? ”

He Gan and Chi Loudan can make up thousands of horses, plus the other three, how can they make nearly 10,000 Hu horses, and it is impossible to fight a tough battle with these Hu horses, but it is enough to use them to strengthen their momentum. The people in the country are now panicking, so Fox Feng uses the momentum of ten thousand horsemen to persuade those old troops who are panicked and unable to settle down to join him again, and the possibility of success is very great.

Cao Fei said: "Please go up to the old ministry of the lord for the lord!" ”

"It's up to you."

Xin Er and the others are close ministers of Linghu Feng, not from the army, and they are just acquainted with Linghu Feng's old department, and they have no friendship, even if they see people, it is rare to trust, and they can't discuss big things. This important task can only be handed over to Cao Fei.

Hu Feng was very satisfied with Cao Fei's invitation, praised him twice, and said to Fu Qiao: "Old Fu, Lao Cao volunteered to contact the old department in our army, and his loyalty is commendable." My uncle in Tangxing County, it's up to you to hook up. ”

Fu Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "Why did you give me such a lifeless errand!" He said eagerly, "Lord, Uncle Venerable was merciless that day, not only refused to let us out, but also sent troops to hunt us down!" ”

"The soldiers sent by my uncle that day were all foot soldiers, and I expected that he would still remember family affection, so you just have to go." Not only did Xin Er notice this that day, but Linghu Feng also noticed it.

Fu Qiao knew that among all the people, in terms of the current situation, he was the most useless, Ling Hu Feng was becoming more and more impatient with him, afraid of his obscenity, even if he was unwilling, for the sake of his life, he couldn't say a word at this time, and he replied helplessly: "Yes." ”

Ling Hu Feng said that his uncle misses affection, and maybe he will miss some family affection, but he Fu Qiao and Ling Hu Feng's uncle are not related at all, how will they treat him? No one can be sure.

He made up his mind and thought, "When the oasis is out, the old man will go away, and he would rather go back to the king's capital and die, than be free from this fearful living crime." He was so worried about the pursuit, Linghu Feng coerced him from time to time, he was really fed up with this kind of day, he innocently said, "Linghu Feng is in chaos, I didn't know, and when I see the king, I cry and complain, maybe I can avoid death." ”

Linghu Feng took out more than ten letters, left one, took the one to his uncle's family and handed it to Fu Qiao, and the rest was written to his old department, all of which were paid to Cao Fei, and said: "It's cold in winter, it's difficult to walk on the desert, and the dog cubs are waiting for Song to give them a return, and they shouldn't send troops to fight in the near future, although so, if the time drags on, it's impossible to say." You two get up today and go back quickly! ”

Cao Fei, Fu Qiaoyingnuo.

Linghu Feng told Cao Fei with concern: "Be sure to pay attention to safety, don't be careless." He glanced at Fu Qiao and said, "Old Fu, you have no power to tie your hands, you have a long way to go to Tangxing, you may meet a thief, I have chosen two brave Hu Nu to be your companions, you don't have to worry, you will be able to keep your integrity." ”

Fu Qiao's wishful thinking was broken in an instant, his heart was like ashes, and he resigned himself to his fate: "Thank you for the lord's love." ”

Cao Fei and Fu Qiao were each assigned tasks, and the rest were Xin Er and Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen used to be the most talkative, but now he is depressed all day long, and he only wants to say a few more words to Fu Qiao, and ignores other people at all. His mental state made Hu Feng dare not hand over important matters to him, and there was still one thing left to do, which was the most dangerous of the three, and there was no one else to send except Xin Er.

He took the last letter and said to Xin Er: "Ah Gua, do you dare to sneak back to the capital?" ”
