Chapter 196: To Descend or Not to Descend (1)
As soon as Jia Pi's words came out, he immediately made the leader of the Di people, Dou Xianyi (Jia Pi, Dou Xianyi, and Peng Dangzhong are sworn brothers), and he said loudly: "Peng Dangzhong, this bastard, we are still sworn brothers, and he actually did such a thing!" ”
Jia Pi did not agree because of Dou Xianyi's righteous indignation, but said in a flat tone: "Brother Dou, don't be angry, please listen to the little brother first." ”
Japi clapped his hands, and outside the pool walked a scribe with a package.
The scribe took out a letter from the package.
Jappi nodded to the scribe and motioned for him to read it out for everyone to hear.
The scribe nodded, and read aloud: "Brother Yandu, today the angel of the Han Emperor came to me, and promised to take the post of Liangzhou Assassin History, I want to have a righteous relationship with my brother in Lushui back then (when Anding Taishou Jia Pi was framed by his superior Yongzhou Assassin Shi Ding Xuan, he was not tolerated by Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, Sima Mo sent Xie Ban to crusade against Jia Pi, Jia Pi was defeated by Xie Ban's men and horses, so he fled to the upper reaches of the Lushui River in Anding County, and the Lushui River flowed through Anding County from north to south, and the upper reaches were ethnic minority settlements, including Lu Shuihu, Di and other ethnic minorities. Peng Dangzhong is the hereditary chieftain of Anding Lu Shuihu, so Jia Pi and Peng Dangzhong and other minority chieftains became brothers, using their forces to counterattack Xie Ban, Ding Sui saw Jia Pi leading Hu soldiers into the country, and felt that something was wrong, so he fled to Wudu, and Xie Ban was defeated by Jia Pi and Peng Dangzhong and other Hu soldiers, and became Jia Pi's ghost. Therefore, the special envoy to Brother Dou and Brother Dou, I hope that the two of them can send troops with me in response to the mandate of heaven, I will take Liangzhou, and Brother Dou will join forces to take Chang'an or Shangtai, so it is not in vain for the three of us to form a righteous relationship! I will succeed in attacking Liangzhou because ......"
"Enough! That's it, go down! Jia Pi suddenly interrupted the scribe's reading, and then looked at Dou Xianyi calmly, without saying a word.
How did Dou Xianyi know that Peng Dangzhong also wrote a letter to Jia Pi! You must know that Peng Dangzhong's letter to him did not say that he wanted to give Jia Pi a copy, and he clearly said in the letter to himself that he was waiting to take Jia Pi's head......
Dou Xianyi thought of this and hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't listen to the nonsense of Peng Dangzhong, a traitor, he asked me to take your life in the letter he gave me!" ”
Jia Pi looked at Dou Xianyi's nervous appearance, and believed what Dou Xianyi said, because after all, he was a Jin person, but Peng Dangzhong and Dou Xianyi were neighbors who depended on each other, since he wanted to take refuge in the Huns, he was naturally ruthless, and he must be the first to be destroyed!
Jia Pi nodded at Dou Xianyi, and said in a calm tone: "Big brother, don't worry, I naturally won't believe Peng Dangzhong's words, you and my brother are friends of life and death, how can you kill my brother because of his words?" ”
Seeing that Jia Pi did not doubt himself, Dou Xianyi immediately said eagerly: "Exactly, you and I are friends of life and death, so naturally we will not kill each other for Peng Dangzhong's words, but this tone is really unbearable!" ”
Jia Pi smiled and said: "Actually, big brother doesn't have to mind, I summoned everyone here today In fact, in addition to the matter of the Huns, the biggest thing is to hope that everyone will come up with an idea together." ”
When everyone heard this, they all replied in unison, "Please make it clear!" ”
"You are all the leaders of one side, and you are used to being free on weekdays, and now the Huns are invaded by iron cavalry, if we unite we may still have a chance to confront them, but unfortunately now those Lu Shuihu (the name of Lu Shui originates from the Xirong Lu Fang of the Yin Shang era, after the death of Qin in 272 BC, the remnants of Peng Lurong began to be influenced by the Huaxia tribe and became the clan of Banrong and Banxia, and many people changed to Han surnames, and the Peng surname was one of them. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the remnants of Peng Lurong have widely absorbed the addition of other tribes, such as the Xiongnu, Yueshi, Zhenlu, Zahu, Qinhu, Qian, Diqiang and even Han, etc., and finally appeared on the historical stage with the image of the national community of "Lushuihu") has surrendered to the Huns, and our strength is no longer enough to confront the Huns head-on......"
Dou Xianyi was the first to say: "My lord, is it stable, Longshang, is there only Lu Shuihu?" Are we Qiang people and Di people women and children who can't hold weapons? If you say this, it will be too long, and the ambition of the Huns will destroy your own prestige"!
Yao Baozhu also agreed: "Yes, my lord, we have settled here for generations, do we want to give up the land, wives and children? ”
Yao Yizhong also interjected: "My lord, even if we can't beat the Huns for a while, we can slowly consume them, where is the reason to admit defeat before we have ever fought?" ”
Jia Pi looked at the people who seemed to be indignant, but he didn't care at all, because in his opinion, these people were so happy and so sure, most of them had already retreated, especially after Peng Dangzhong took refuge in the Xiongnu first, it is difficult to ensure that these people do not have other thoughts, especially in case of real Chang'an and Liangzhou are captured, these people may turn their faces and tie themselves up to surrender to the Huns!
Jia Pi smiled and nodded, and then pretended to say: "All the princes are loyal and righteous people, Jia has always known this, but under the strength of the enemy and my weakness, temporary concessions may not be a good way to preserve strength, if the Huns really broke through Chang'an and Liangzhou, I think in the long run, we should surrender!" ”
When everyone saw that Jia Pi said so calmly, they didn't have any words, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.
Dou Xianyi and Yao Bao, the two biggest leaders, secretly glanced at each other, but they immediately turned their heads and deliberately didn't look at each other......
Jia Pi still kept smiling and slowly looked at Yao Yizhong.
Yao Yizhong also happened to look at Jia Pi.
Jia Pi noticed that Yao Yizhong's eyes seemed to have something to say.
Jia Pi nodded at Yao Yizhong and gestured, "Yizhong, if you have anything to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"My lord, I have decided, I am willing to follow my lord for three years!"
"Oh? You weren't quite willing to do it before? ”
"Yes, my lord, I find that you are not a pedantic person!"
Jia Pi was immediately amused by Yao Yizhong's words, what kind of person is he in the eyes of others?
Jappi laughed, "Then tell me how you found out about this?" “
"My lord, if I were you, I would definitely let all of our troops hand over the hostages, and then gather all our forces to resist the Huns!" So how do you know that the old man doesn't mean this? ”
"Because the adults know that even if they do this, they can only save the hearts of the people for a while, if the Huns are really so strong that they can break through the Tong Pass and capture Chang'an, then everything you have done is tantamount to forcing yourself to a dead end!"
