As the person who has followed Lihua for the longest time, Gao Yunce knows that Lihua is a person who is extremely contradictory in his heart.

On the one hand, he did not have the kindness of a woman, and he was never merciful to his enemies. But on the other hand, he will never kill innocents and do things that are against humanity.

Therefore, at the insistence of himself and Liang Qingshu, Xizi Huicai agreed to hide the matter from Lihua and cut it first. Because he was afraid that Lihua would refuse to kill these disgusting nobles in Hexi County, so as to raise tigers for the future.

"General, just ask." Gao Yunce looked at Lu Lihua with a firm gaze and said, and he was indeed ready to bear all the consequences.

Zhu Lihua nodded and asked: "General Wei Huan was in charge of Hedong, I don't believe that General Wei will have nothing to do with the nobles of Hedong, so what is General Wei's attitude on this matter, and how did you convince General Wei?" ”

As soon as Lihua's words fell, before Gao Yunce could speak, he saw Wei Huanzhi stand up in a daze, clasped his fists and said, "General Lihua, don't worry, Wei agrees to this matter."

If you are not familiar with the Hedong nobles, I am afraid that General Yuli will not believe it, but to say how good the relationship between Wei and the Hedong nobles is, it is indeed a bit serious.

In the past, when I led the troops in Hexi, I was also constrained by the nobles here, but when General Xizi and General Gao wanted to kill them, I still remembered that I had an old relationship with them, and asked the generals to give them some time to buffer and think clearly about the stakes.

However, these nobles are still obsessed, and just like they did to me in the past, they do not take the generals in their eyes at all, and they do not have a clear understanding of the current situation.

The means they follow and rely on is to use their money to tie up with the powerful and public clan relatives in the center, regardless of whether those clan relatives are surnamed Yong or Xiao.

This is the secret of the aristocracy of Hedong for more than 500 years.

But now, they have misjudged the situation, and the plan to resist the war is likely to be implicated by them, so Wei Mou, the patriarch of these noble families, is also supportive.

As for the children of the nobles in Wei's army, Wei would arrange for them to leave their command positions one after another.

However, they are no more stubborn than those self-contained patriarchs, after all, these brothers have done it with real swords and guns with the Rong people. Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about fighting against the Rong people, and they are all willing to kill the Rong people and protect their homes under the leadership of General Li. ”

"General Wei is right, for the children of the nobles in these armies, General Xizi and General Wei and I have also considered supporting them as the new patriarchs of each clan, so that we can pull these nobles into our camp.

In the future, they dare not say that they will support us with all their hearts, but they will never be as hostile to us as they are now. ”

Lu Lihua listened carefully to Wei Huan and Gao Yunce's words, then nodded lightly and said:

"The second question, do you want to collect all the land of these nobles to learn from the original set of our Hexi County and rent the land to those people?"

After asking, seeing that everyone nodded, Zhu Lihua frowned and said, "Have you ever thought that in this way, those nobles were killed first by the patriarch, and then the land was divided. There will inevitably be dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people of each family, so even if the person who is close to us becomes the patriarch, most of them may be hollowed out by the clansmen of each family.

Therefore, I am afraid that your goal of trying to gather the nobles will not be able to achieve it at all.

And, have you?

I thought that Gu Zaizun would agree to let us rent land to the people of the Shu tribe, after all, this matter is contrary to the patriarchal system.

Even if they agree to lease the land, then when the land is divided among the meritorious people in the future, who owns the leased land.

Will you accept it or not?

The harvest will inevitably anger the people, at least cause a tragedy of starvation everywhere, and at worst the Mengchun Rebellion will be repeated. But if you don't accept it, where is the majesty of the king? ”

After asking a series of questions, he didn't look at the people who were deep in thought, he was more like talking to himself, bowing his head and thinking about it.

"General, Lord Zaizuka has told me about the occupation of various counties by the Rong people in Yaoping, and he seems to appreciate the methods of the Rong people, I'm afraid it ....."

Zhu Lihua was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Gao Yunce was referring to, but he only showed a hint of surprise before shaking his head and said, "Does Lord Zaizuka want to follow the Rong people's approach?" Although this can solve this matter once and for all, let the millions of people in Hedong completely support us.

But in this way, we Qin State are afraid that we will really have to wander outside the Great Zhou Kingdoms. ”

None of the people in the hall were stupid people, so after Li Hua finished speaking, he suddenly realized, and they all understood that Li Hua had analyzed the key points in just a few words.

In fact, everyone knows the method of the Rong people, and it is the fastest way to buy people's hearts. But after all, he represents the Great Qin Zhengshuo, the country of the Great Zhou Taishi, how can he go to the patriarchy, abandon the well field, and follow the barbarian approach.

Moreover, if this is done, it will also leave a pretext for various countries to oppose Qin, and it will be extremely unfavorable to Lihua's plan to raise troops from various countries to jointly defend Huangyin.

That's why Zhu Lihua said this, and he was so taboo and distressed about Gao Yunce and others killing nobles in Hedong County without authorization.

At this moment, everyone suddenly understood that they seemed to have caused a catastrophe, and they also understood the gap between themselves and their master's plans.

He only sees the immediate benefits, but what he sees is the distant future.

He only saw the gains and losses of a corner of Hedong County, but Zhu Lihua focused on the reactions of all countries in the world.

"It's come to this, I don't think it's better to do this."

Just when everyone was a little annoyed, Zhu Lihua's voice sounded again.

"Let the noble brothers under General Wei return to each family and immediately take charge of the affairs of the family.

At the same time, I brought a letter to Xi Zihui, asking him to personally supervise the matter properly, and at the same time return the land to each family, which is our gift to the new patriarch. As long as the families do not work with us in the future, then today's incident will not happen again in the future.

However, as soon as these brothers became the heads of the families, they immediately leased the land to the people, and the rent was still collected according to the ten taxes in Hexi County. As for how the land was to be distributed, leased, and taxed, the officials of the yamen organization were to do it, and each family was not allowed to interfere in this matter.

In other words, these lands still belong to the Hexi nobles, but it is up to them how to use these lands, but we have the final say. ”

Speaking of this, after glancing at the people who were showing joy, Zhu Lihua turned to Wei Huan and said: "General Wei can find an opportunity to tell these brothers that we have supported them to be the head of the clan, for us, for them, and even for the great plan of the world to resist the war.

If they cooperate with me,

They received 20% of the annual grain tax, which was less than the income of their family's previous captive tenants, but it was not nothing.

But if they dare to oppose me, then if I can support one patriarch, I can support the other, so let them do their own thing. ”

After Lu Lihua finished speaking, everyone in the hall got up together and responded with a cheerful expression, and even Wei Huan stroked his three-foot long hair and laughed "haha".

"Send someone to Yaoping City again, and inform Lord Zaizuka of this matter, we can't hide such a big thing."

After Lihua finished speaking, Gao Yunce immediately got up and responded to the "Woo", and Lihua nodded and asked about the battle in Huangyin.

"Tell the general, we have already investigated clearly, Xieyu Guandong Rong army is about 120,000 people, and the leading troops will be Wanfu Chang Qiuzi and Shubei General Lin Xu.

Among them, Qiuzi led about 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Rong people and stationed in the two cities of Xinzheng and Muyang in the south of the Xieyu Corridor, while Lin Xu led the 50,000 Kunpeng army and the 40,000 Qin army composed of the common people and rebels recruited by various counties to be stationed in the four cities of Xieyu Pass, Jiaocheng, Shancheng and Muyin in the north of the Xieyu Corridor.

Among them, there are 50,000 Kunpeng troops stationed in Muyin City, which is the closest to my Huangyin, and they are the ones who have successively attacked my Huangyin in the past few months.

At first, they just wanted to test our defenses, so every time they came to Huangyin, they wouldn't be too entangled, but then they suddenly launched a large-scale attack, annihilating all our soldiers and horses on the high ground on the hills and mountains outside Huangyin. ”

Gao Yunce told about the military situation, and when he said this, he and the other generals in the hall all showed a look of palpitation on their faces, and it was obvious that the psychological impact of the decisive battle on everyone in those days seemed to have not been eliminated.

Gao Yunce also inadvertently glanced at Wei Huan and cast a grateful glance at him. And Wei Huan also understood Gao Yunce's thoughts, but he smiled and shook his head lightly to show that he didn't care.

Only Zhu Lihua heard this seriously, and suddenly asked: "General Wei's 40,000 army was originally responsible for garrisoning Jiangcheng, and he led 20,000 soldiers and horses to aid Huangyin. ”

After Lihua finished asking, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and immediately showed a look of admiration, and Lihua saw this scene in his eyes, and immediately knew that what he had guessed was correct, and hurriedly looked at Wei Huan in a nervous manner.

"General Hexi is like a god, that day Wei led his troops to Huangyin to help the battle, Qiuzi, who was stationed in Muyang City, led 30,000 Rong troops to the north to cross the Yellow Water, abandoned his horse and crossed Lishan on foot to steal Jiangcheng.

But although Li Mountain is not as steep as the Hualin Mountain Range, it is also a moat, and it has never been passed through since ancient times, how can they easily turn over.

So before they reached Jiangcheng, our scouts discovered their whereabouts.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, these Rong people wanted to storm Jiangcheng instead, but it happened to be a sudden rainstorm in Jiangcheng, and after the rainstorm, it turned into a cloudy autumn rain, so if the Qiuzi saw that if he left the siege again, it would inevitably cause the mountain road to the south to be muddy and impassable.

Because they didn't have much grain and grass to carry, they had no choice but to return the same way and evacuate to Muyang City. ”

"General Wei, have you ever sent someone to explore the road directly to Jiangcheng through Lishan?

Where did they cross the yellow water, did they send people to investigate? ”
