Chapter 174: Overhead
Budugen, Kebineng, and Suli are the leaders of the three major forces of the Xianbei tribe in the east. However, the northern part of Youzhou is close to the two Xianbei tribes, Kebineng and Suli.
The Kebineng tribes are mainly distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places, while the Suli tribes are distributed in Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang and other counties in Youzhou. Coupled with the Wuhuan tribe who moved into the mainland, they are the three major hidden dangers in Youzhou.
Murong Fu and the others pondered carefully, and Zhao Yi's words suddenly lit up: "Do you want these three tribes to attack each other?" ”
Murong Fu's brain was not slow, Zhao Yi nodded and admitted the thought in his heart, "Yes, I do have this idea." As long as it can provoke the three tribes to attack each other, my Youzhou can be peaceful. "The Xianbei tribe is unstable internally, and Youzhou is stable. In order to curb the development of the Mongols, the Jin State would send soldiers to slaughter Mongolian men over the age of 16 every year, and even loot the Mongolian men back and sell them as slaves. As a result, the Mongols' hatred of the Jin State deepened, and a generation of Tianjiao Temujin took advantage of the situation, unified the Mongolian tribes, and annihilated the Jin State.
For Zhao Yi, the idea of the Jin State to contain the development of the Mongols could be used as a reference, but the method was not advisable. Although the Jin State also contained the Tatars in the steppe to do things for themselves, and used the Tatars to curb the development of the Mongols, it was too obvious that even though the Tatars were a fierce tiger, they were not the opponents of the wolf-like Mongol tribes.
"The three tribes are recuperating at this time, developing their own forces, and they are in the same spirit, and they will not do it for no reason." Murong Fu felt that Zhao Yi was thinking too simply, the Xianbei tribe was not a soldier in Youzhou, and he acted according to Zhao Yi's orders.
Zhao Yi snorted: "The reason why the three forces can live in peace is because they have not touched the fundamental interests of the other party. In the face of absolute interests, brothers with the same father and mother will turn against each other, not to mention this tribal alliance that does not stand up to scrutiny. "There are two allusions in China that are very good, one is to stop the corpse and attack each other with armor, and the other is the candlelight and axe shadow, the mystery of the ages. All are typical examples of close relatives vying for the throne. "At this time, the three major tribes seem to be very peaceful, but they are also constantly in friction, just because the benefits lost are too small, and they have not reached the bottom line of Budugen and others, so they all bear it."
When he said this, Zhao Yi's face showed a cold smile: "You said that at this time, suddenly there was a Xianbei cavalry that wantonly plundered the property and people of Budugen and others. Can their relationship still be as harmonious as it is now? ”
When Murong Fu and the others came into contact with Zhao Yi's gaze, they felt a chill all over their bodies, Zhao Yi's plan was very vicious, and it could be said that he killed people without seeing blood. Although the plan was vicious, Murong Fu and the others had to admit that Zhao Yi's plan was very good.
The Xianbei tribe is brave and good at fighting, although Zhao Yi's cavalry is taught by Wuhuan's elite cavalry, but compared with the Xianbei cavalry, there is still a long distance. The soldiers who enter the fortress in disguise need to be carefully selected, otherwise it may be difficult to succeed, or they will show flaws. If the three major tribes are invited to join forces to attack Youzhou, it will be more than worth the loss.
Zhao Yi walked a few steps in the hall, his eyes turned, he already had a plan in his heart, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I am going to take some time to go to the Batu tribe." "The Wuhuan tribe and the Xianbei tribe have been conquered many times, and they have deep grievances with each other. Let the Wuhuan soldiers disguise themselves as Xianbei cavalry and enter the Xianbei tribe to burn and loot, Batu should be very happy.
Just when Zhao Yi made a plan to deal with the Xianbei tribe, the guards of the state capital came in and reported that Shi Qiuming, the former magistrate of Zhuo County, and Chengyu Wenke, the county magistrate of Anxi County, came to pay a visit.
The person he was looking for finally arrived, and Zhao Yi was shocked: "Please!" ”
Qiu Ming is a talent that Zhao Yi has been interested in in Zhuojun, his concept is different from Qin Chong, and Qin Chong was very resistant when Zhao Yi led troops into the city that day. Qiu Ming is different, he doesn't care about the damage to his power, he cares about the peace of the people of Zhuo County.
Although Yu Wenke's talent and views cannot be compared with Qiu Ming, he is very tactful, and his political achievements in Anxi County for many years are also excellent. Zhao Yi transferred Yu Wenke to Youzhou so that he could help him supervise the Youzhou Friends Party and collect evidence of those officials' crimes, so that he could act in the future.
After Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke greeted each other, he asked a little strangely, "Why did your lord summon the officials to Youzhou?" ”
Zhao Yi waved his hand to let the two sit down, and then said: "The two adults have known this official for many days, so there is no need to be polite. The two adults are in Zhuo County, and they must know a little about the situation in Youzhou. The official wants to invite two adults to come to Youzhou to be officials and help the official handle political affairs, are the two adults willing? ”
Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Especially Yu Wenke, Yu Wenke and Zhao Yi have not met more than ten times, and the conversation between the two is only on point. It is very strange for Zhao Yi to summon himself into Youzhou, he is not Zhao Yi's cronies or confidants, he didn't expect Zhao Yi to find him to be an official in Youzhou. Now that he suddenly heard Zhao Yi's words, his heart was full of mixed feelings, surprised, frightened, and joyful, and he trembled a little with excitement. As a county magistrate, he is also ambitious, so he naturally wants to go further. However, he has no relationship with the DPRK and China, and he has no money to operate, so the high-ranking official Houlu Yu Wenke can only think about it when he is dreaming.
Compared to Yu Wenke, Qiu Ming is a little bland. When he received Zhao Yi's letter, he discussed it with Qin Chong, and Qin Chong said at that time, the day of Lord Changshi's steady progress has arrived.
Qin Chong has also been a politician for many years, so he naturally understands Zhao Yi's difficulties at this time, and summons Qiu Ming into the city, naturally he wants to use Qiu Ming. Knowing Zhao Yi's intentions, Qiu Ming came here again, his actions have already explained his choice, if he doesn't want to help Zhao Yi, Qiu Ming can completely excuse himself.
This is a great opportunity for Yu Wenke, and he naturally wants to seize it, but Yu Wenke still cautiously asked Zhao Yi: "I don't know if the adults let us have any official positions?" ”
Zhao Yi did not hide it, and directly said his thoughts: "This official summoned you to Youzhou in order to muddy the water in Youzhou. Using you to suppress some unhealthy tendencies in Youzhou is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and this move has great benefits, but it is also extremely dangerous. I wonder if the two adults have the courage to help the official? ”
"With the help of this official, the two adults can act with confidence." With the help of Zhao Yi, who is a pastor in Youzhou, the possibility of them succeeding is naturally much greater.
The two glanced at each other, bowed down and said, "Humble and orderly." ”
Zhao Yi said three good words in his mouth, personally helped the two up, said the official positions held by the two, and said to them: "If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune." Both adults are rare good officials. ”
Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke muttered twice, "If the country lives and dies, how can it be avoided because of misfortune." Suddenly pride rose in my heart, and I went down to do things with great ambition.
Looking at the backs of Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke, Cheng Yin walked out of the inner hall: "My lord, are you so relieved to put such an important matter in the hands of these two people?" Cheng Yin and Qiu Ming have nothing to do with each other, and they don't have much intersection, so they are a little worried about their character. Although the situation in Youzhou is not as complicated as Luoyang, it is also a big dye vat, and after the white paper people come in, they don't know what it will look like.
Zhao Yi seems to have great confidence in Qiu Ming and the others: "Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people." Then he looked at Cheng Yin deeply, "If you change to Mr., so will I." ”
Cheng Yin was very moved by these words, and looked at Zhao Yi's eyes even more grateful, as the so-called soldier dies as a confidant, Cheng Yin can only use his political achievements to repay Zhao Yi's kindness.
In the early morning of the second day, when the state officials entered the government office on an errand, several people were surprised to see Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke, who were in the room early in the morning. "Why are you here?"
When they learned that the two were sent by Zhao Yi, these people's eyes changed twice, and then they smiled, congratulating the two of them on entering the government office on an errand, but they were very jealous of Zhao Yi's move. The two of them came to Youzhou to set them up in the air.
These people stared at the backs of Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke, and thought in their hearts that if they had the opportunity, they must squeeze these two people away, if they stayed in the state capital for a long time, how could they still have a foothold.
With the addition of Qiu Ming and the others, the originally relaxed office environment has now become a little depressing, and it is quite uncomfortable to do anything as if someone is watching.
Several officials couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere, and went to the state capital to complain to Zhao Yi, saying that the state government did not have many affairs and there was no need to set up more people, and asked Zhao Yi to transfer Qiu Ming and the others away.
"Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke are both virtuous ministers with outstanding political achievements, and the official transferred the two to Youzhou, one is to help a few adults do things, and the other is to train the two. Several adults are old ministers in Youzhou, and they should bring more juniors, after all, we are all for the people of Youzhou, if the character of these two people is not good, the way of officialdom is unknown. It may be difficult to grasp the sudden assumption of an official position higher than their original position. I hope you will forgive me. Zhao Yi has already said this very clearly, he wants to experience Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke has become a great weapon, and after the two of them are qualified, Zhao Yi will send them to other places.
But Zhao Yi didn't say that the qualification standard, God knows what the standard in Zhao Yi's heart was, and when Qiu Ming and the others were transferred to other places, it was estimated that several of them had already been cleaned up by Zhao Yi.
Even if this matter caused trouble to the imperial court, Zhao Yi's words were invincible, and they could only come back on an errand with a bitter face.
Zhao Yi has no doubts about Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke's loyalty, in the eyes of those officials, since Zhao Yi transferred Qiu Ming and Yu Wenke to Youzhou, and also entered important departments, these two are definitely Zhao Yi's confidants. They didn't dare to say anything else to the two of them or bribe them other than what they were talking about. Because they didn't know if those bribes would go to Zhao Yi's hands, Zhao Yi was worried that he couldn't find their handle at this time, and they didn't want to send their handle to Zhao Yi's hands.
Looking at the officials who had been invincible two days ago returning to the mansion with a bitter face, Zhao Yi smiled brightly: "Old fox, you also have today, hehe." ”
At this time, the state government official reported: "My lord, Liaoxi County has something to report." ”
