When Zhen Suiqi attacked Qiuchi Mountain, Pei Gai had already arrived in Yuzhong City, where he summoned the Rong troops of Jincheng, Longxi, and Nan'an counties. Except for a few who were exterminated by the Western Route Army, the rest of the Di, Qiang, etc., more than 20 large and small, all of them were there, all of them bowed to the ground and praised in unison.

There are only two exceptions, one is Nan'an Chiting Qiang, whose chief Yao Yizhong has long been accepted by Pei Gai as a subordinate general, and now stands beside the governor of the capital with a sword, looking down at his old friends, and his pride is overflowing. The other is Tuyuhun, because the old man died suddenly half a month ago, and the eldest son Tuyan has just succeeded to the throne and does not dare to leave the tribe......

The main old man is too capable of giving birth, with a total of more than sixty sons, Murong Tuyan is nearly forty years old, and his younger brother is still in infancy. Although the old man had made the eldest nineteen sons swear an oath last year, asking them to work together and not to quarrel, but after all, the hearts of the people are separated from each other, and Tuyan really can't believe in his brothers. Now that he has just succeeded to the throne, his foundation is not solid, if he leaves the ministry and goes to other places, some younger brothers suddenly make a mess, how can it be good?

Therefore, Tuyan asked someone to write a humble and earnest letter of apology, and asked his uncle Mu Liyan and two brothers to come to Yuzhong with letters to pay homage to Pei Gai.

Pei Gai admonished Zhu Rong and said: "Since you are in charge of my Jin Zhengshuo, you should obey the orders of the imperial court and abide by the laws of China. Each has a dominion, and henceforth he shall not transgress his boundaries, nor shall he fight without his own boundaries. Before the chaos in Guanzhong, Pei Bao, Sima Bao and others could not protect the whole Qin, the three county magistrates, or go to the position to rush, or to waste things, I am here now, as the official of Jin Rong.

"I am the great Sima and the governor of the imperial court, stay in Chang'an, Taiwan, protect Xizhou, treat you and others well, pay light tribute, and make the strong not forced by Hulu, and the weak will not be bullied by the strong. If there is a dispute, the magistrate of the county and county shall be sued, and the magistrate may come to Chang'an to complain to me directly, but he shall not fight with each other privately, nor form an alliance with him privately. If there is a private fight or a private alliance, both of them will be criminalized, and I will order the army to come to Qin again, destroy the Ru tribe, the chief of the chieftain, and make the people slaves! Declare first, don't say it in advance! ”

He then ordered Youyao, Hu Yan, Guo Pu and others to check the map, delineate the specific areas of each ethnic group or nomadic or cultivated, and agree on the annual tribute amount.

In fact, Pei Gai also knew that such restraint was not the way to long-term peace and stability, but now the Rong tribes are all over the three counties, and the number may be more than that of the Jin people, and it is not an overnight achievement to digest it thoroughly. He himself still has to move eastward to fight Hu Han, and then to fight Shile, and it is impossible to spend too much energy in Qinzhou for the time being, or tie up too many troops.

I believe that as long as I am strong enough and my posture is not declining, I am enough to maintain this seemingly stable situation until the world is settled.

The Rong tribe has always taken advantage of the turmoil in China to rise, just like the germs in the human body, which can only cause diseases when the immunity is low. However, it is impossible for ordinary people to kill all kinds of germs on their bodies, and it is not only meaningless to apply strong drugs when they are not sick, but also may in turn damage the health of the body.

Pei Gai's hope assimilation policy can only be applied to those exterminated Rong tribes for the time being, and first raze their upper strata - in order to avoid the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, arouse the doubts of other tribes, and the killing is not heavy, Tai Ban was sent to Yongzhou, and the Jin people were in the same tun - the middle and lower Rong people who were captive were scattered according to the example of Yongzhou, reorganized, and enclosed for tun. For the Rong people, the people also gave a promise to organize the household after five years, but in addition to the tribute of the Jin people, an additional "Rong tax" was required, which could only be exempted unless your family got rid of the Rong and became Jin.

So what does it take to get out of the army? In fact, it is very simple, as long as you wear Jin clothes, speak Jin language, use the customs of Jin people, and even learn to write Jin people, it will be jointly guaranteed by the three Jin people, and after being verified by the government, you can turn to Jin. In the same way, if the Jin people have been in Rong for a long time, wearing Rong clothes, speaking Rong language, and using Rong customs, even if you can turn out the family tree to prove that you are Chinese, it is useless, and it is equivalent to Rong people.

After a long time, most of the natives in the conquered areas became religious, even more devout and more radical than their own people......

——————————

Pei Gai's meeting with Zhu Rong was a few days before he agreed to meet with Zhang Yu, the main purpose was not to let Zhu Rong misunderstand that Pei Da Sima and Zhang Liangzhou were originally one, and that being ordered by Zhang Liangzhou in the future was the same as being ordered by Da Sima - Zhang Yu, you should stay in Liangzhou honestly, don't stick your claws out towards Qinzhou, otherwise I will cut them off!

The two prefectures of Liang and Qin were originally adjacent, and the relationship between the two prefectures was very close, especially those nomadic tribes, who lived in pursuit of water and grass, and often jumped back and forth between the two states, so the Zhang family had a great influence on the three counties of Xirong, especially the Jincheng Zhirong. After all, Pei Gai could not completely rest assured of the Zhang family, and hoped that once Zhang Yu made a move, the Rong of the three counties could become the first line of defense against the southward movement of the Liangzhou soldiers.

Unless the big Sima is on the top, and Zhang Zhijun bows as well as he accompanies him. But that's impossible, when Zhang Wei arrives, Pei should personally go out of Yuzhong City to greet him, he wants to restrain Zhang Wei, he must be polite to people, if this situation falls in the eyes of Zhu Rong, it will inevitably lead to misunderstanding.

And even if Pei Gai has no urgency to go east, he will not put the power of the Zhang family in Liangzhou in his eyes, and in his own heart, he will not be too arrogant to Zhang Yu. A Zhang Yu is quite famous, not an ordinary history of a state assassin -

Zhang Anxun's current official positions are to hold the Jie, Governor of Liangzhou Zhujun, Xizhong Lang General, Liangzhou Thorn History, and Captain of the Commander of Qiang, and the title is Xiping Gong. In the original history, when Chang'an City was about to fall, Sima Ye also secretly sent Huangmen Lang Shi Shu and Shi Wang to Liangzhou to worship Zhang Yu as the governor of the capital, Liangzhou pastor, Shizhong, and Sikong - if this is the case, it is similar to Pei Gaicha, and he is extremely human.

At present, Zhang Yu's official position cannot be compared with Pei Gai, but after all, he has the title of county prince, and Pei Gai cannot be regarded as an ordinary local guard.

There is a more important reason that Pei Gai has always admired the Zhang family in Liangzhou. In the original history, when the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty was in turmoil, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the only one who could protect the peace of one side was the Zhang family in Liangzhou. In that case, how can we not pay homage to it?

Even according to some historical books, the former Liang really has the reality of changing the yuan, and the former and later Zhao are ministers, with the heart of Hu and the meaning of separation, that is also from Zhang Mao, Zhang Yu has been a loyal minister of the Sima clan all his life - of course, it is also because he is not eternal, only seven years after succeeding the Liangzhou assassin history, he was killed by his subordinates at the age of forty-eight, if he lives a few more years, in the face of turmoil, will he have no ambitions, no one can imagine.

However, some people are so "lucky", and they will die as soon as they should die, so as to avoid the ridicule of "Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time".

The only thing that can be called a stain in Zhang Yu's life may be to pretend to welcome Sima Bao, but in fact, he sent troops to refuse, and did not let him flee to Liangzhou - the history books say that "with the hope of his (Sima Bao) clan, if he goes to the right side of the river, he will be affectionate, and he will be sent to protect the Yin Prison, claim the wing guard, and the real emperor." However, in Pei Gai's view, the orthodoxy supported by Zhang Yu at that time was Sima Rui, not Sima Bao, and Sima Bao's waste has always been insufficient, more than defeated, and it is natural to block him - if I were Zhang Yu, I would not "be a prisoner and reverse the guarantee", but directly close the door and send that guy away.

Let's say that Pei Gai led You Yao and others out of Yuzhong City to welcome Zhang Wei, and the time was not big, and they saw the dust in the distance, waving flags, and thousands of "Liangzhou horses" escorted a Chinese car to come.

Although Zhang Yu was forced to come to see Pei Gai, he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in his heart, he left his brother Zhang Mao to assist his young son Zhang Jun to garrison Liangzhou, and before leaving, he also took care of Zhang Mao and said: "This foundation was left by my father, even if I have any chances, I can't lose it, so I entrust it to my virtuous brother." "That means, even if Pei should take me hostage, or even cut off my head, you can't give Liangzhou away!

Theoretically, Pei should not have killed him, but it is impossible to say - it is the fierce man who expelled Lu Yun and killed Suo Qi. Ko Zhongke came from Qinzhou not long ago, and he said Pei Gai's letter in front of Zhang Yu, he said that it was Suo Qi who drove Pei Cai to the front line, and it was normal for you to kill Suo Qi, why did you expel me? Just because I didn't send troops to the rescue? It was purely to take away my military power, so I used my troops in vain and my colleagues poured in. The brothers Liyun and Lichang also advised Zhang Wei not to go to see Pei Gai, so as not to be in danger, to which Zhang Anxun replied:

"Today, Pei Wen is about to stay in Chang'an, Taiwan, to take charge of Western affairs, and since I am called, how can I not go? Don't worry, live in peace, if Pei asks for the public, I will not accept it. ”

Isn't it because I'm afraid that Pei should ask me to sacrifice the two of you, so he persuades me not to go to Yuzhong? Rest assured, I'm not this kind of treacherous villain who betrays his friends for glory.

But although he saw through what Erji was thinking, he couldn't be unguarded against what they said that Pei should be malicious. Therefore, he selected 3,000 elite cavalry to escort himself to Yuzhong. I believe that as long as you deal with it politely and carefully, these soldiers and horses are enough to protect yourself from danger.

Besides, the "Liangzhou Horse" is famous all over the world, and there are 3,000 horsemen accompanying him, maybe even if Pei Cai has any other ideas, he will be forced to dispel these soldiers when he sees them - even if he brings the main force over, on the plain, it is not so easy to eat my 3,000 "horses".

If you Pei Wenyue are domineering, will you be completely brainless and don't consider the ratio of gains and losses?

Seeing that he was approaching Yuzhong, he suddenly saw that there were soldiers and horses blocking the road in front of him, Zhang Yu ordered to slow down and send people to sentry, the time was not big, and the general came back to report and said: "It is the great Sima who led the generals to go out of the city to meet the Ming Duke." Zhang Yu hurriedly asked: "How many soldiers and horses did you bring with you?" The general replied: "Above the plains, it is very clear, but there are only more than a thousand parts. ”

The location of Yuzhong City is in the east of Lanzhou City in later generations, Zhang Yu came from the northwest, and there is a horse and a flat river within dozens of miles in this direction, and there is no way to hide soldiers at all. Zhang Wei relaxed slightly, and hurriedly ordered the driver to drive there to see Pei Gai.

He was about two arrows away from Pei Gai and the others, so he jumped out of the car, and then straightened his clothes and went on foot—of course, he was followed by a tribal guard. Pei should have ridden on the horse at first, and when he saw Zhang Yu get off the car, he dismounted—there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and the order cannot be misplaced—and he waited with a smile.

Zhang Yu gradually approached, and saw that Pei should be dressed in a robe, and he didn't look like he had any intention inside-the thin man is like this, he wears more and wears less, it is clear at a glance, if he changes to Sima Bao's kind of fat man, even if he wears triple armor inside, outsiders may not be able to see it--his heart is more determined. So he hurriedly stepped forward, a foot away, and bowed deeply to Pei Gai: "The last official Liangzhou assassinated Zhang Yu, and met Pei Da Sima." ”

Pei Gai bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for Zhang Gong here for many days. There are hundreds of miles from Lao Zhang Gong to the meeting, which is really a longing meaning, and he is eager to see Zhang Gong's demeanor - don't blame it. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, and grabbed Zhang Wei's arm.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but then he felt that Pei Gai didn't exert too much strength, not to capture himself, so he smiled, and grabbed Pei Gai's arm with his backhand, and said: "Pei Gong is too polite, Zhang's name and family background are far inferior to Pei Gong, and it is Zhang's crime to wait for Pei Gong for a long time." ”

The two exchanged a few words of greeting and introduced each other's entourage - Zhang Yu brought Sima Hanpu with him this time, staff officer Kui Jin, and four people, including Tian Qi, the general of extermination, and Zhang Lang, the general of Furong.

After the introduction, Pei Gai waved his hand: "A banquet has been set up in the city to entertain Gong Zhang." "Well, please come with me into the city. Zhang Yu hesitated slightly, and then asked: "I, the athletes, followed me to Yuzhong, I don't know where to settle down?" ”

This is actually a temptation, if Pei Gai said that your soldiers will camp outside the city, and you should follow me into the city by yourself, it is likely that he has bad intentions - Zhang Yu is really afraid that there will be some ambush in the city. As a result, Pei Gai smiled: "I see that your ministry is very strict, and I don't expect to violate my ban, so you can all go to the city and find a house to live in." ”

Zhang Yu was suspicious of Pei Gai, but Pei Gai would not be specifically wary of Zhang Gai - would he use these thousands of soldiers and horses to raid him? Unless the person has in his head, or is completely insane. If I take Zhang Yu, it is possible to take Liangzhou, what is the use of Zhang Yu taking me? He wants to take the opportunity to enter Qinzhou? Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill Sima Bao when he was there?

Therefore, for Zhang Yu's temptation, Pei should be sincere. Zhang Yu was completely relieved at this time, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yuzhong is very small, and three thousand soldiers entering the city will inevitably disturb the people, so it can be equal to camping outside the city, and choose one to enter the city with me." Since he has basically relieved his suspicions about Pei Gai, he must also make a posture of no guilt, and it is impossible to strictly guard against it, otherwise it will easily cause the other party to be unhappy, and it will also seem that he Zhang Anxun is too suspicious, and even has the intention of being outside the court.

After entering the city, they sat down and feasted together, as if they had been friends for many years. Then while talking at the banquet, Pei Gai gradually asked about the Western Regions......
