Chapter 162: Political Marriage
Knowing that the person who reported the letter was now outside the mansion, Zhao Yi waved his hand to beckon Wen Qin to come over and handed the letter in his hand to Wen Qin. Isn't this a letter to Zhao Yi, why should you give it to me? Wen Qin glanced at Zhao Yi a little strangely, took the letter and looked at it briefly, his face slowly turned red.
This letter was written by Nanlou, and the letter briefly inquired about the Wuhuan tribe's current life in the mainland, and after these nonsense, he finally mentioned that Qiu Liju, the leader of the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning, will come to the Nanlou tribe in the near future, and his righteous son will accompany him, as if he has the intention of marrying the Nanlou tribe, and let Wen Qin go back to see.
Wen Qin stuffed the letter into Zhao Yi's arms and ran out. Zhao Yi felt a little inexplicable, and beckoned his generals to practice diligently, while he went to chase Wen Qin, and at the same time wanted to ask about the current situation of the Wuhuan tribe.
Wen Chou wanted to ask Zhao Yi how he learned that his martial arts were hidden, but when he saw Zhao Yi running out in a hurry, he had to temporarily dismiss the idea of asking.
Dian Wei didn't care so much, and pulled Wen Chou to compete with himself again. He has fought with Murong Fu and Tai Shici many times, and he is already very familiar with each other's martial arts routines. can't wait to compete with Wen Chou again.
At this time, Zhao Yi and Wen Qin met with the Wuhuan tribe who came to report the news in the hall, and the Wuhuan tribe was polite when they saw Wen Qin, but they didn't pay attention to Zhao Yi at all. In the eyes of the Wuhuan tribe, although Zhao Yi is a Youzhou pastor, he is not a member of his Wuhuan tribe, so naturally there is no need to be polite.
Zhao Yi didn't blame this person for being rude, he just stood aside and listened to Wen Qin's questioning with this person. Wen Qin did not return to the Wuhuan tribe for many days, and first asked how Nanlou's physical condition was.
"The leader is in good health, but he misses the general very much." Glancing at Zhao Yi as he spoke, he and Wen Qin were talking about the secrets of the Wuhuan tribe, and Zhao Yi, an outsider, was here, which made this person feel very awkward and unable to speak freely. Giving Zhao Yi a look was nothing more than wanting Zhao Yi to leave, but Zhao Yi didn't seem to understand what he meant, and still stood here. It made him very angry.
"Did your father tell you anything when you came?" Wen Qin asked.
This person looked at Zhao Yi, muttered for a while, and said, "The leader only said that after letting the general read the letter, he rushed back to the Wuhuan tribe as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, from this point of view, Nanlou attached great importance to the marriage between the two departments. Especially Zhao Yi heard Gao Shun talk about the situation of the Wuhuan tribe the day before yesterday. During this time, Nanlou annexed many scattered Wuhuan tribes, and its subordinates have reached more than 9,000 households. If Qiu Liju in western Liaoning is united with the Ministry of Difficult Buildings, this is a very powerful force.
"You have been running around for days, so go down and rest first." Wen Qin waved his hand to let the messenger go down, biting his lips and glancing at Zhao Yi with a complicated expression. There is no doubt that if the character of Bang Dun is okay, Nanlou will definitely agree to Qiu Liju's marriage conditions. If the two divisions form an alliance, whether it is against the Xianbei cavalry in the north or against Zhao Yi, they will have a great advantage.
Zhao Yi naturally saw this, and pondered for a long time, "What are your plans?" ”
Wen Qin was very entangled in his heart, if she returned to the Wuhuan tribe, Nanlou might marry her to Badun, but Wen Qin couldn't ignore his father's order, and fell into a dilemma for a while. "I don't know, I want to discuss it with the third brother first."
Zhao Yi's eyes rolled twice, "Why don't I accompany you on a trip." ”
"Are you willing to accompany my Wuhuan tribe?" Wen Qinxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, Zhao Yi said this in disguise, and he was willing to compete with Bun Dun, which made Wen Qin happy in his heart. However, she immediately restrained her smile, rubbed the corners of her clothes lightly, and said tentatively, "But you are going to take office tomorrow, how can you go back with me." ”
"The matter of taking office can be postponed, and it is natural to do this matter well first, otherwise how can I feel at ease." Zhao Yi smiled. As the Youzhou pastor in charge of Youzhou, Zhao Yi naturally didn't want Nanlou to form an alliance with Qiu Liju, which was too much of a threat to Youzhou. Besides, after getting along for many days, Zhao Yi also has some liking for Wen Qin, a girl who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, so why not go to the Wuhuan tribe.
Zhao Yi's words made the corners of Wen Qin's mouth show an unconcealable smile, naturally hoping that Zhao Yi would follow him back to the Wuhuan tribe. It is best if Zhao Yi can defeat Badun, and his father will marry himself to Zhao Yi, then everything will be fine. Wen Qin nodded shyly and timidly, "Okay, or we'll leave tomorrow." ”
Zhao Yi nodded and agreed, Wen Qin left here under the pretext of packing up his things, Zhao Yi called the soldiers, wrote a letter, and asked the soldiers to send them to the Youzhou Mansion quickly, and at the same time came to the courtyard, and asked Dian Wei and Murong Fu to lead five hundred guards to go to the Wuhuan tribe with him, and after thinking about it, Zhao Yi took Wen Chou with him again, and Tai Shici was sent to Dai County by Zhao Yi.
Gao Shun was left by Zhao Yi to be in charge of the soldiers and horses of Zhuo County, and had already written to the imperial court to promote Gao Shun to the governor of Zhuo County, and at the same time ordered the herald to "call Cheng Yin of Fanyang County to Youzhou to see me." "After dealing with the affairs of the Nanlou tribe, Zhao Yi will go to Youzhou to take up a post, although he is the state pastor who controls the life and death of one party, if he has no manpower, he will definitely be constrained.
As for Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun's family, Zhao Yi had no intention of bringing them to Youzhou for the time being, but left them in Zhuo County. After explaining these things, Zhao Yi waved his hand to let everyone step back and prepare, and he took out the map of Youzhou to study it until late at night, now it is not a troubled time, if you want to expand your territory, there is no other good way except to encroach step by step.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yi, who was dressed in a white shirt, walked out of the mansion, and Wen Qin followed behind Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi's face was a little not good-looking, Wen Qin woke him up from the bed early in the morning, and after Zhao Yi came out, Wen Qin followed behind Zhao Yi without saying a word. Zhao Yi didn't understand what Wen Qin meant.
This kind of daughter's thoughts, in the era of freedom of thought in his previous life, Zhao Yi did not know, and in today's feudal society, he will not know.
Looking at the energetic five hundred guards in front of him, Zhao Yi waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
Recently, the life of the Wuhuan tribe has become more and more stable, and some Wuhuan soldiers have married the Han family.
Now there is no need to use swords, and you can get abundant food by paying labor, which makes the Wuhuan soldiers very satisfied. In the battle with the Montenegrin army, the Wuhuan tribe's cavalry suffered very little losses, which made Zhao Yi see the Wuhuan tribe's cavalry and archery again, so he temporarily left the Wuhuan tribe in Zhuo County to teach the Han army to bow and horse archery.
When Zhao Yi entered the tribe to look for Batu, this Batu was talking to a girl from a Han family, and was very attentive to the girl, and the girl impatiently took the things over, but Batu was not only angry, but also continued to be courteous to the girl.
Seeing Batu's cautious smile, Wen Qin was stunned, is this still his cold second brother? Zhao Yi glanced at the girl, and said in his heart that the power of love is really great, and he actually grinded an iron-clad man like Batu into this. really responded to that sentence, no matter how much heart is like steel, it has turned into a finger twist.
Batu looked at the girl without anyone, and didn't notice that Zhao Yi and Wen Qin had already arrived behind him, the girl saw someone coming in, her face turned red and ran out, Batu turned her head and greeted the girl, "Ah Yan, don't ......" glanced at Zhao Yi and Wen Qin with a smile on their faces, Batu was not embarrassed to say the rest of the words, he scratched his head with a smile, his face was a little red, and he coughed lightly twice and asked Zhao Yi "Little sister." Lord Zhao, why did you come here? "The news of Zhao Yirong's promotion to Youzhou pastor, Batu naturally heard about it, he thought that Zhao Yi would be busy in Youzhou for a while, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to come here so soon.
glanced behind Zhao Yi, and found that none of the Wuhuan cavalry who accompanied the army before had come back, Batu raised his eyebrows, and resumed his reckless character, "Zhao Yi, where are the five thousand Wuhuan warriors in my department now?" As he spoke, Batu's eyes were firmly fixed on Zhao Yi, if Zhao Yi said any bad news, he would definitely rush up and fight with Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi didn't speak, but glanced at Wen Qin, Wen Qin got Zhao Yi's hint from his eyes, and said, "Third brother, in the battle with the Black Mountain Army, the loss of our soldiers is very small, Lord Zhao saw that our warriors were skilled in bows and horses, so he temporarily left them in Zhuo County to teach some basic common sense to the officers and soldiers, and he will come back in less than half a month." ”
Batu's face had not yet softened, and he asked again, since it was not for the return of the soldiers, what was the matter with coming here?
Wen Qin didn't speak, and directly handed over the letter written to her by Nanlou. Batu's face changed after reading the letter, although he was not good at strategy, but Batu could still feel the political implications.
Batu sighed, he had been with Wen Qin for many days, so he naturally knew that Wen Qin's heart belonged, and Zhao Yi probably went to the tribe for Wen Qin's marriage. Previously, Batu also felt that Zhao Yi had no merit except for resourcefulness. In this matter, Batu has some changes to Zhao Yi: "I will not interfere with my father's decision. However, at this time, nearly half of our tribe has moved inland, and the tribe has a good life, so there is no need to attack the tribes for survival, and an alliance with Qiu Liju is dispensable. This matter is related to the lifelong happiness of the little sister, the little sister has to make up her mind, no matter what decision the little sister makes, the third brother will support you. ”
Batu has already said very clearly, if Wen Qin really thinks that Zhao Yi is a person worthy of entrusting him for life, then he doesn't need to care about what Nanlou decides, it's a big deal to elope with Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi controls the military and political power in Youzhou, and there are many fierce generals under him, even if Nanlou and Qiu Liju are dissatisfied with Zhao Yi's behavior, they don't dare to act rashly. But this is the next step, if Wen Qin really did that, he would not want to step into the Wuhuan tribe again in the future.
Batu's words made Wen Qin burst into tears of excitement and shouted, "Third brother." He threw himself into Batu's arms.
Batu stroked Wen Qin's hair, "I have heard of Qiu Liju this person, it may not be easy for you to act in the Wuhuan tribe, I will let Lou Man bring a thousand Wuhuan tribes with you." ”
