28 Drive away the wolf

28 "Change Horses!" ”

"Changing horses?" Cao Hao was puzzled, and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, the last general heard that the Hou Ye forced the Wuhuan people under the city of Lunu that day, so he asked him to buy a horse to buy a road." 3 It's just that we chased and killed the Xianbei people all the way this time, and they hated us to the core, even if the Hou Ye wanted to make peace with them, I was afraid that they would not be able to believe us. In fact, Cao Yong made peace with the Xianbei people, although he knew that it was beneficial, but he instinctively rejected it in his heart.

Liu Feng laughed and said: "What if the Xianbei people don't believe it, why do we need to exchange with them, just use it to trade with the Wuhuan people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yan and the others were puzzled. Liu Feng said with a smile, "On that day, my father released Wuhuan Qiu Liju in Lunu City, and in the past few years, my merchants in Zhongshan have not gone out of the country, and most of them have made transactions with the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi, exchanging our Central Plains salt grain and money cloth for the horse leather of their Wuhuan people. This time, we are going to use the Xianbei captives in our hands to exchange horses with the Wuhuan people. ”

Everyone listened even more inexplicably, exchanging the Xianbei captives with the Wuhuan people for horses? This is where it is!

Liu Feng shook his head again and again, if Tian Feng or Zhong Xuan were here, they would almost be able to understand their true intentions, Zhang Yantu has millions of subordinates, in fact, he is only at the level of a general, as for his brother-in-law, Gongsun Xu, he is still young.

I had no choice but to explain patiently: "Since the decline of the Huns, the Xianbei people are known as the most prosperous outside the Saiwai, and the Tanshi Huai dominates the Xianbei, and the Huns and Wuhuan people all bow down to it, and the nephew of Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, has become a slave of Helian.

We broke the Xianbei people under the city in the clouds, but we did not hurt their roots, and the strength of the Xianbei people is far above the other ethnic groups in the grassland. We handed over these Xianbei captives to the Wuhuan people, and exchanged them for horses, so that they could exchange them with the Xianbei people again. There are many noble children among these Xianbei captives, and if the Xianbei people know that there is a way to rescue these people, they will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

The Wuhuan people may be reluctant to exchange their horses for these Xianbei people who have no relatives and no reason for them, but the Xianbei people will never tolerate the Wuhuan people letting their children not be saved. If the Wuhuan people reject our proposal, they will continue to hate the Han and Xianbei people, and the Wuhuan people are not brainless barbarians, so how dare they not agree? ”

In fact, there are still some things that Liu Feng didn't say, that is, he will open the price very wide, so big that it is difficult for Wuhuan people and Xianbei people to bear but have to accept it. With the character of the Xianbei people, the code of conduct for the strong people of the grassland, the Xianbei people are powerful and the Wuhuan people are subservient to the Xianbei people, even if the Xianbei people will give the Wuhuan people some compensation later, I am afraid that this compensation is also very limited, and it is impossible to compare with the efforts of the Wuhuan people. In this way, it is not difficult to provoke the two already contradictory grassland peoples to further hate each other, as for what kind of realm they will fight to, it is undoubtedly what Liu Feng wants to see, that is, no matter how small the conflict is, it can maintain peace and stability for a few years.

It's just that this kind of design is too insidious, but Liu Feng didn't want to leave a bad image of himself in the hearts of several people, so he didn't say it, anyway, he will know what happened afterwards.

After talking about the boss's call, Liu Feng didn't feel that his throat was a little dry, so he took the bowl of soup and medicine handed by Wan'er and drank it all.

Zhang Yan was also a little interested in Liu Feng's thoughts, but he was still puzzled: "What if the Wuhuan people refuse to agree to Hou Ye's suggestion?" They could have found an excuse to harm our messenger and put the matter to good use. Because he didn't see Sun Qing and almost fought with Liu Feng, Zhang Yan was very concerned about the safety of the envoy at this time.

Liu Feng smiled: "It's okay, we just need to let the Xianbei people know about it." ”

Cao Yong scratched his scalp that was a little numb, and said with emotion: "It's up to the Hou Ye to decide what to do, anyway, my old Cao can't think of a good way." Since Hou Ye said it is feasible, it is feasible. ”

Zhang Yan also waved his hand and said, "It's all up to Master Hou's orders." ”

Liu Feng laughed, got up and beckoned everyone: "Since the two of you don't object, this matter is so decided, I will let people send a letter to the Wuhuan people, and let Xianbei know." After a pause, he smiled and said, "How about exchanging him for 5,000 horses?" ”

…………

Three days later.

Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan, who were pursuing, both returned to Cloud City, and arrived at the same time, but there were still Liu Bei and Yanmen Taishou Wenyu, who were originally far away in Lunu.

It turned out that Liu Bei saw Liu Feng's urgent letter in Lunu, and he didn't have time to find out how the military situation in the annexed state was, so he ordered soldiers and horses and grain and grass overnight, and hurried on the road at dawn the next day. Before he arrived at Yanmen, he received Liu Feng's battle report and said that he had broken the Xianbei army, and also appeased the Montenegrin army, captured thousands of Xianbei people, and tens of thousands of war horses. After being overjoyed, Liu Bei let people lead most of the soldiers back to Zhongshan, and asked Zhang Fei to follow behind with grain and grass, but he took Zhao Yun and a few other light horses to Mayi City to visit Yanmen Taishou Wenyu first.

Wen Yu also had just received the military report, and he also knew Liu Feng's plan, and saw that Liu Bei had come over with grain and grass, and was shocked by the swift action of their father and son, so he only took a few entourages, and asked people to order all the grain and grass to send to the clouds, and he accompanied Liu Bei to the clouds quickly.

Guan Yu's pursuit of this harvest is not small, in addition to more than 2,000 captives and more than 4,000 horses, in this way, the Xianbei people left in the clouds alone There are nearly 6,000 captives, 14,000 horses, the dead are not counted, it can be said that the vitality is greatly injured, and the momentum of the descendants of Tanshi Huai in the grassland is about to plummet.

It's just that how to distribute this spoils of war is a big problem. There were 14,000 horses, and there were more than 11,000 horses, excluding those who were disabled and could not be used as war horses. If you want to divide it, Yanmen's Bingzhou Army can get a share, the Montenegrin Army also has a share, Liu Feng Guan Yu can also get a share if he contributes to the strategy, and Liaodong Gongsun Zan joins in the middle of the road, and there is also a share.

Among them, Liu Feng took the lead and encouraged Wen Yu and Zhang Yan to join forces to deal with the Xianbei people, and both of them politely said that Hou Yeju had won the first credit. However, Liu Feng understood that if one of them was dissatisfied, they should complain. Besides, Liu Feng didn't dare to really take the lead in himself, after all, he was a soldier of other people, and he was at most a chicken to lay eggs.

In fact, who shares more and who shares less is still secondary, the most headache is that the Montenegrin Army and the Bingzhou Army are still hostile sides, and the two families were still fighting to the death a few days ago. Moreover, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion was decided, Zhang Yan's predecessor Zhang Niujiao led the remnants of the Yellow Turban to crisscross the Jiji Mountains, and injured the heroes of the Bingzhou Army, and Zhang Niujiao himself finally died in the battle with the Bingzhou Army. These two families can be said to be as deep as the sea, neither of them trusts the other, and whichever one has more horses is one more threat to the other.

Night.

Wen Yu was the main one, and invited Liu Bei's father and son, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan to the military tent for a banquet, and the topic was naturally how to divide the spoils.

It was to recruit the generals of the state and the Black Mountain Army, this time naturally the two families could not be clashed, and before Wen Yu could speak, Liu Feng first got up and saluted everyone, because he said with a smile: "In this battle in the clouds, Lai soldiers worked hard and won a lot, but how to divide these tens of thousands of horses, I don't know what you can think?" ”

Wen Yu and Zhang Yan understood in their hearts that Liu Bei and Liu Feng were father and son, and Gongsun Zan was Liu Feng's father-in-law. The two glanced at each other, although Wen Yu was a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones, he was very bold, and said with a smile: "In this battle in the clouds, Wen was originally full of doubts and did not dare to attack. If it weren't for Hou Ye's strong advocacy, he also encouraged Leader Zhang and drove Hu away, how could he have such a result? Hou Ye is the first to take the lead, how to divide it, but with Hou Ye's words. ”

Zhang Yan also nodded in response: "As soon as the Hou Ye should be arranged, Zhang Yan will obey everything!" ”

"In this way, Liu Feng is no longer hypocritical." Liu Feng waved at everyone and said: "This time only about the battle in the clouds, according to Liu Feng's shallow view, these 14,000 horses, according to the injured get one, and the unsuccessful get two, please let a few people report their own injuries, and make a rough division first." After a pause, he said: "Although the city in the clouds is dilapidated, the achievements of the old generals of Handan Lie and the soldiers who died in the clouds cannot be forgotten. Liu Feng thought that it should be counted as a share of those who were lost in the clouds, and he thought that the war in the clouds was for the small family. ”

Zhang Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, although it was unreasonable to use war damage to receive the spoils of war instead of war merits, it was also fair, and Liu Feng could even count the dead as a share, so he didn't think he would do something unfair, so he nodded slightly and didn't say anything. Wen Yu shook his head and said, "This method is not proper, if this is really the case, my Yanmen will be the majority, and Hou Ye will not get half of it." Wen Yue is suspected of taking merit, for fear of provoking the world's heroes to laugh! ”

Indeed, as a result, Liu Feng, who only contributed and did not make any contributions, did not gain any benefits.

If others said this, Liu Feng would think that he was hypocritical, but Wen Yue's words were resolute, but Liu Feng knew that he really didn't want to take advantage of himself, and said with a smile: "What kind of person General Wen is, we know in our hearts, if someone is willing to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, let him go, why should General Wen care?" ”

Wen Yue was stunned, although he still felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't find the words for a while. After all, this war loser, except for Yanmen, is the most defender in the clouds.

Seeing that Wen Yu no longer insisted, Liu Feng said again: "In addition to this item, most of the fourteen thousand horses must be left, Liu Feng has a reluctant request, and I hope General Wen will listen to me!" ”

Wen Yu smiled when he heard this: "Master Hou, but if you have an invitation, Wen Yu will not allow it." After saying this, he looked at Liu Bei strangely, why did this father only smile and let his son come out to talk about things, but he didn't speak like a nobody?

"The general is the Taishou of Yanmen, and the most registered household registration in the state is only a few hundred thousand, and after years of war, many people have fled, and now it is seven out of ten, and the countryside is a lot of barrenness, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pay taxes?"

Glancing at Zhang Yan very unkindly, Wen Yu nodded and said, "What Master Hou said is the truth. That's it, there are still people who don't forget to rob us every day, hehe. ”

Zhang Yan also sneered, but ignored him. Liu Bei said with a smile: "The past things are over, the battle in the clouds, the two families have formed brothers who share life and death, don't hurt the brother's harmony for the past grievances, and then recruit people!" ”

Wen Yu still had some respect for Liu Bei, nodded and said, "What Xuande Gong said is very true, the more reckless he is. After that, he looked at Liu Feng and waited for him to follow.
