Chapter 140: Pacifying Wuhuan
After receiving the letter brought by Liu Yi's envoy, Qiu Liju finally made up his mind after hesitating for a long time.
"Virtuous nephew, after today, you will be the new Lord Wuhuan! Remember, if you are not 100% sure, do not rebel again! ”
Taton, who had just entered the big tent and didn't have time to react, heard Qiu Liju's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground in shock.
"Uncle, why do you say that?" Stepon exclaimed, kneeling in front of Chuliju.
I saw Qiu Liju sigh, and then handed the letter in his hand to Tamton.
Takton took the letter, only to see that there were only a few numbers on it.
"Qiu Liju is immortal, and the Wuhuan clan is destroyed!"
Although the number of words is not much, the killing intent contained in it is terrifying.
Looking at the letter in his hand, he felt powerless in his heart.
"We have already surrendered, why does this Liu Yi still have to kill them all?" Stepon sat crookedly on the ground and muttered to himself.
Qiu Liju on the main seat said weakly when he heard this, "Liu Yi's army has been killed here, and it will be there in a few days, and Liu Yu has also sent Wu Liang to kill here, Gongsun Zan is dead, Zhang Chun retreated to Jizhou and did not dare to enter, at this time we are already isolated and helpless, if we resist again, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of extermination!" ”
Tatun knew that what Qiu Liju said was true, and at this time, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Chun could not help If Liu Yu and Liu Yi really made a desperate kill, I am afraid that they would really wipe out the Wuhuan people in Youzhou.
"But uncle" was unwilling, and wanted to continue to persuade a few words, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Qiu Liju with a gesture.
"Virtuous nephew Hugh is going to say more, I have made up my mind!"
After speaking, Qiu Liju shouted an order outside the tent.
A moment later, Qiu Liju's generals walked into the tent one after another.
At this time, Taton had already sorted out his clothes, and was sitting beside Qiu Liju with red circles under his eyes.
Several generals under Qiu Liju suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts when they saw Badun's expression.
"Please be seated!" Qiu Liju pointed to the wooden chair in the tent and said to everyone.
After everyone sat down, Qiu Liju informed everyone that he wanted to pass on the position of Lord Wuhuan to Bunton.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They all stood up and asked why.
Qiu Liju took out Liu Yi's handbook and handed it to everyone, and then said the words that Fang Cai and Badun said to everyone again.
After listening to Qiu Liju's words, although everyone was unwilling in their hearts, they were helpless.
At this time, in the big tent, plus Qiu Liju and Badun, there are a total of ten people, and the remaining eight people are all generals with heavy troops, so it can be said that the entire Wuhuan clan, except for Qiu Liju, is the most powerful of these eight people.
These people are all Qiu Liju's henchmen who have been cultivated step by step in recent years, and it can be said that each of them is loyal to Qiu Liju.
As Qiu Liju's own nephew, he has fought with Qiu Liju and others in the north and south over the years, and he is also a little prestige in the clan, and he is also very close to several of the eight people in private.
The generals who were very close to Bun Dun on weekdays asked Qiu Liju if he wanted to pass on the location of Lord Wuhuan to Bun Dun, and they were convinced, but the rest of them didn't think so.
"My lord, although the general is brave, but after all, the lord still has the heir of the building class, this position of Lord Wuhuan, it stands to reason that it should be" A discordant voice finally came out of the tent.
Sitting next to Qiu Liju, he followed the voice and looked at the person who spoke between him was the general who killed Zou Dan with him that day.
As soon as the man finished speaking, two more people started to drink after he got up.
At this time, among the eight people, there were already three who opposed Badun replacing Qiu Liju as Lord Wuhuan.
Looking at the slightly embarrassing scene in front of him, Qiu Liju got up and came to the three of them, and said seriously, "The kindness of the three Qiu Mou has been understood, but the building class is still young and cannot be qualified for this position at all, for the future of the Wuhuan family, my nephew is the best candidate." ”
After speaking, Qiu Liju continued to say to the three of them in a commanding tone: "The three of you must do your best to assist my nephew in the future!" Don't disagree! ”
"No!"
Four days later, Liu Yi and his entourage slowly walked to the outside of Yongnu County in Yuyang County.
"Yide, go and tell the soldiers to camp and rest on the spot!" Liu Yi, who was walking at the front of the team, turned around and commanded Zhang Fei behind him.
Hearing this, I saw Zhang Fei's face puzzled.
In the past few days, Liu Yi's army has almost walked for an hour and rested for an hour, and looking at Liu Yi's appearance, it is clear that he does not really want to go to Lingzhi.
"Lord, are you still resting? Didn't we all rest so long in the morning? If we continue at this rate, when will we be able to get to Lingzhi? Zhang Fei muttered puzzled.
"Tsk~ What about so much nonsense, let you go, you can go, hurry up!" Liu Yi glanced at Zhang Fei and said angrily.
"Yes, you are the lord, you have the final say!" Zhang Fei waved his hand, with an expression of what you say.
"The lord said, rest in place! Rest in place! Zhang Fei rode his horse and ran towards the army behind him.
At this time, when it was only time to Shen, Liu Yi sat on a big stone and drank it, and while drinking water, he muttered to himself, "Qiu Liju, I hope you can be interesting!" ”
Towards evening, bursts of cooking smoke came from Liu Yi's camp, and the men had already begun to set up stoves to cook.
"Lord, the little ones caught a few people outside the camp when they were patrolling, and these people said that they were the messengers of the Badun, and the little ones didn't dare to make their own decisions, so they specially asked the lord for instructions on how to deal with these people!" A soldier who looked like a patrol soldier came to Liu Yi's tent and shouted.
At this time, Liu Yi, Zhang Fei, and Yao Lie were boiling hot tea with charcoal in the tent, and when they heard that it was the messenger of Badun, Liu Yi was overjoyed.
"Bring them up!" Liu Yi slapped his thigh happily and shouted out of the tent.
Seeing Liu Yi's happy appearance, Zhang Fei on the side was puzzled, "Lord, isn't it just an envoy."
Well, why are you happy to be like this? ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei and Yao Lie mysteriously and said, "Didn't you listen to what the soldiers just said?" It was the messenger of "Taton" who came to see him, not the messenger of Qiu Liju! ”
As he spoke, the messenger of Badun was brought up by the soldiers outside the tent.
"Meet Lord Liu!"
There were three messengers of Badun, and one of them was holding a wooden box in his hand.
"It's a guest, please get up quickly!" Liu Yi looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with a smile and said.
"Thank you, sir."
When he got up, the man with the wooden box handed over what he was holding.
Liu Yi was afraid that there was a hidden mechanism in it, so he ordered the messenger to open the wooden box in front of everyone.
"Holy!"
As soon as the wooden box was opened, I saw that it was Qiu Liju's head.
Liu Yi and Zhang Fei glanced at Qiu Liju's head, and then looked at each other, their faces full of shock and excitement that could not be hidden.
"This," Liu Yi pointed to Qiu Liju's head, and asked the messengers knowingly.
"Huh~ Hui Lord, this is the head of Lord Qiu Liju of my clan, my lord knows that he is guilty, so he uses his own head to fight for the life of my people" The messenger who accosted him said, his eyes involuntarily reddened.
After getting the confirmation, Liu Yi made a regretful expression.
"Lord Qiu is such a hero! Alas! Great! ”
After speaking, Liu Yi thought to the envoys and promised, "Don't worry, after Lord Qiu dies, I will definitely keep my promise, go to the state pastor, let the adults open the net, and no longer hold you responsible!" ”
"Thank you, Master Chengful!" When the three envoys heard this, they bowed to Liu Yi.
"Yide, you quickly order to go down and entertain a few messengers!" Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei on the side and ordered.
Without waiting for Zhang Fei to reply, I saw that the messenger who had just spoken stopped me and said, "My lord's good intentions, I have received it, but Lord Bundun has just been promoted to the head of the Wuhuan Patriarch, and there are still many things in the clan that need me to help the patriarch deal with them, so I won't bother Lord Liu anymore!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't force a few to stay."
Having said that, Liu Yi finally asked Zhang Fei to prepare some dry food and money for a few people.
As soon as the three of them left, Liu Yi and the others in the tent immediately started to discuss.
"Lord, I didn't expect this Qiu Liju to be really a character, and he really gave up his life for the sake of his clan!" Zhang Fei shouted happily around the wooden box that had been opened on the ground.
"Since he can be the head of a clan, Qiu Liju must have his own unique personal charm, otherwise, how can the people around him follow him so desperately," Yao Lie continued.
Hearing Yao Lie's words, Liu Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Yao Lie is right, although Qiu Liju is our enemy, he can give up his life for the sake of his clan, and he can be regarded as a man."
After speaking, Liu Yi continued to instruct Zhang Fei, "Yide, you will send someone to send the head to the state pastor tomorrow!" ”
"Gotcha!"
The next day, Liu Yi's army turned around and headed for Zhuoxian.
A few days later, Liu Yi and others returned to Zhuo County again.
Seeing Liu Yi and others coming back, Xi Zhicai and others were very happy.
"Zhicai, how is Mr. Cheng's side?"
At this time, Liu Yi and the others had already changed into civilian clothes and were sitting in the hall drinking tea.
Seeing that Liu Yi asked Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai put down the teacup in his hand and replied, "Back to the lord, Brother Zhongde wrote yesterday that Beixincheng has almost been repaired, and the people have started a normal life. ”
"Good!" After shouting hello, Liu Yi looked at Xi Zhicai, "Since this is the case, then it's time for us to study how to deal with Zhang Chun!" ”
Seeing Liu Yi talking about dealing with Zhang Chun, Zhang Fei, who was bent on avenging Wang San, stood up.
"My lord, what else is there to study? You give me 30,000 elite soldiers, and within a month, I will definitely cut off that pure human head! Zhang Fei shouted with a murderous look in his eyes.
"General Zhang, you sit down first, sit down first. Zhang Chun is definitely going to be killed, but how? When to kill? We still have to study and study! Xi Zhicai walked up to Zhang Fei and comforted.
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Zhang Fei was so angry that he stomped his feet, and could only say helplessly, "Hey, my mother, why do you have to study everything?" Then you study it, I panicked in my heart, and I went back to the barracks to train! ”
After speaking, Zhang Fei turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Liu Yi behind him.
"Yide, you stop!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei stopped and looked back at Liu Yi angrily.
"Sit down and listen to Zhicai!" Liu Yi gave Zhang Fei a blank look and said angrily.
Among these people, only Liu Yi can speak Zhang Fei, seeing that Liu Yi is anxious, Zhang Fei didn't dare to speak anymore, and walked to the seat on the side and sat down.
"Zhicai, you go on!" Seeing Zhang Fei sitting still, Liu Yi looked at Xi Zhicai and said.
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai glanced at Zhang Fei, who had already turned his head away, shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to Liu Yi, "Lord, at this time, we have just experienced the battle with Gongsun Zhan, and the soldiers are very tired both physically and psychologically. ”
I saw that Yao Lie and the others in the hall heard Xi Zhicai's words, and they all nodded in agreement with Xi Zhicai's statement.
Seeing that everyone did not refute, Xi Zhicai said again, "Zhang Chun's power is not small, if you want to uproot it, I'm afraid we have to send the whole army, so that Zhuo County will be empty again, and if the Wuhuan people or others rebel again, Zhuo County will be in danger!" ”
Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Yi was shocked.
"Zhicai is right! San'er's death is a lesson for us! Liu Yi said sadly.
Zhang Fei, who was angry on the side, heard this, and the fire in his heart disappeared.
Although the anger disappeared, Zhang Fei's character was still unwilling to give in, so he turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai and asked, "Then what do you say?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Fei's tone was much more relaxed than before, Xi Zhicai smiled and said to Zhang Fei, "Now we should strengthen our own strength, recruit people and horses in various counties, and train soldiers bravely, and after each county has the power to protect itself, the lord can send General Zhang to lead 50,000 horses, cross Lushui in the south, and go straight to Zhang Chun's place to kill, and then with General Zhang's bravery, it is not easy to kill Zhang Chun?" ”
Seeing Xi Zhicai praising himself like this, Zhang Fei suddenly laughed happily.
"Mr. Zhicai's trick is good!" Zhang Fei grinned.
Liu Yi and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhang Fei turn his face faster than he turned out.
"Okay, let's do what Zhicai said!"
After speaking, Liu Yi arranged for Cui Si and Zhang Fei to go to Zhang Luo to recruit troops.
After Zhang Fei and Cui Si left, only Liu Yi, Yao Lie, and Xi Zhicai were left in the house.
I saw Xi Zhicai looking at Liu Yi with a solemn expression and said, "Lord, although it is good to have a lot of soldiers, if the defenders in each county have no good generals, it will be difficult to become a climate!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yi was also a little depressed.
"Originally, there were few generals on our side who could lead the troops, but now San'er is gone, and the only ones who can really lead the troops are Lao Yao, Yun Chang, and Yide, but they can't be sent down to the counties!" Liu Yi said worriedly.
Yao Lie and Xi Zhicai didn't say anything when they heard this.
After the three of them thought for a long time, Yao Lie stood up and said respectfully to Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai, "Lord, Mr. Zhicai, Yao wants to recommend a few people!" ”
"Oh? Lao Yao, come and listen! ”
Yao Lie rarely interjects when Liu Yi and others discuss things, but every time he speaks, he can say that Liu Yi is in his heart, so every time Yao Lie puts forward his own suggestions, Liu Yi attaches great importance to it.
"My lord, do you remember how many brothers I joined me in the first place?"
Hearing this, Liu Yi knew who Yao Lie was going to promote, it was the seventeen people who came to Zhuo County with Yao Lie from the land of Youyan.
"Those brothers are indeed very good candidates, but they are all officers of the scorpion now, if they are sent down at this time, will it have an impact on the scorpion?" Liu Yi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, my lord, there are only two thousand poisonous scorpions now, and it's not a big deal to take a few officers."
Seeing Yao Lie say this, Liu Yi made a decision after thinking about it.
"Okay, just do as you say! It's up to you to decide who you are! ”
"Order! I'll go inform them now," Yao Lie turned around and walked out of the lobby.
Seeing that Yao Lie was also gone, Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai discussed how to let the Wuhuan people settle down.
A few days later, Liu Yu received a letter from Liu Yi, which stated Liu Yi's opinion on dealing with the Wuhuan family.
At this time, Liu Yu was very serious to Liu Yi, looking at the letter in his hand, Liu Yu sent someone to do it according to Liu Yi's suggestion without thinking about it.
Soon after, Badun and others, who had already returned to Yangle in western Liaoning, received Liu Yu's edict.
In addition to the pardon statement to the people, there was also a very important appointment in the edict. According to Liu Yi's suggestion, Liu Yu ordered Feng Qiu Liju's son "Lou Ban" to become the adult of the Wuhuan clan.
According to the previous decree, the Wuhuan tribe is equivalent to the current special administrative region in western Liaoning, and the leaders of their clan are elected within the clan, and then reported to the imperial court for appointment by the imperial court.
However, because of Liu Yan's admonition, the imperial court has changed the history of the assassin to the state pastor, and the power is decentralized, so Liu Yu, as the state pastor, has the right to directly intervene in the selection of the Wuhuan clan patriarch.
Lou Ban was not yet ten years old at this time, and in addition to being Qiu Liju's son, he did not have any prestige in the clan at all.
But precisely because he is Qiu Liju's heir, when the letter of appointment arrived, many generals who were usually not very obedient to Qiu Liju suddenly began to make trouble, among which the leaders were Qiu Liju's three former confidants.
At this time, the Wuhuan clan was very unstable, and the contradictions mainly came from the patriarch of Qiu Liju, who was appointed by Qiu Liju, and the patriarch Lou Ban appointed by the imperial court.
Bun Dun is Qiu Liju's nephew, in terms of blood, Lou Ban also wants to call Lou Dun a "cousin" Bun Dun originally wanted to assist Lou Ban as Lord Wuhuan, but when he thought of Qiu Liju's entrustment to himself before he died, Bun Dun was ruthless and began to fight with Lou Ban for power.
The struggle for power between the two groups of people was very fierce, which directly led to turmoil within the Wuhuan clan, and they were unable to do anything else.
When Liu Yi, who was far away in Zhuo County, heard about the Wuhuan tribe, he was very happy.
"Lord, it seems that there will definitely be no more rebellion on the Wuhuan side for a while, so that we can develop ourselves in peace and stability."
At this time, Liu Yi was drinking tea and chatting with Xi Zhicai in the hall, and when he heard Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Yi laughed twice and praised Xi Zhicai, "You can solve the hidden danger of Wuhuan so easily, thanks to Zhicai, your discordant plan!" ”
"The lord has won the award!"
Just when the two were talking happily, Cui Si hurriedly ran to the house.
It is said that Cui Si is in charge of intelligence, and every time there is bad news, Cui Si has a panicked expression.
Liu Yi, who was drinking tea in the hall, suddenly felt a little numb on his scalp when he saw Cui Si's appearance.
"Si'er, what's going on again?" Seeing Cui Si enter the hall, Liu Yi got up and asked urgently.
Hearing this, Cui Si handed Liu Yi a small strip of cloth that he used to exchange news with his subordinates.
Liu Yi took the small strip of cloth and quickly opened the hemp rope on it.
"I'm your uncle!"
