Chapter 167: Black Hair and Thoughtfulness
There is an ancient city named Kaiyang in the southeast direction of the city. Although Langya County is most famous for Linyi (the birthplace of the Langya Wang). But Kaiyang is the seat of Langya County. Since the Wufa bone was conferred on Langya County, he came to Kaiyang with the Nodonuka Department. And put down roots here.
Although Wu Fa Gu is the county guard of Langya County, he cannot completely control Langya County. The territory actually controlled by Wufa Gu is only a few counties in the south of Langya County, with Kaiyang as the center. Although the various Hu tribes in the north of Langya County were hindered by the strong strength of the black hair bone, they had to bow their heads and submit to the rule of the black hair bone. But most of these tribes don't listen to the tune! It is completely independent and is not controlled by the black hair bone at all. In the past ten years, although the black hair bone has also quietly extended its claws into the northern Hu tribe several times, it has ended in failure each time. Although these Hu tribes in the north of Langya County are usually hostile to each other, once they encounter the black hair bones, they will unite unprecedentedly and unite with the outside world. So that the black hair bone has never had a good chance to be able to annex these Hu tribes in the north.
Although the black hair bone is very confident in his own strength. After all, the Nodonuka Department is a big tribe, and the black hair bone has more than 2,000 elite cavalry in the headquarters, and as the county guard of Langya, he can also form the Zhao people (Han) county guards. But the combined strength of the various Hu tribes in the north is not weak. Even stronger than the black hair bones. Once the fight starts, it is not known who will win and who will lose. So over the years, there has been peace between the black hair bones and the various tribes in the north. But in order to stabilize his rule, and at the same time to be able to annex the northern tribes, the black hair bone has been secretly provoking them to fight.
In fact, the black hair bone has been done very successfully, and the relationship between the various tribes in the north is really not good. They have been fighting each other for many years, and they already have a deep blood feud with each other. The strength of the various tribes is also slowly decreasing in constant conflict. In a few years, the black hair bone may be able to mow the grass. But what Wu Fa Gu didn't expect was the sudden rise of Xixiang, and a third force appeared in Langya County. The pattern of the entire Langya County has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Since the advent of the county system. Generally, there will be three positions in the county: the county guard, the county lieutenant and the county officer. Langya County is naturally no exception, and the county guard and the county lieutenant in charge of the county guard are all served by Wu Fagu himself. The county was held by a Zhao man named Zhou Quan (i.e., Han Chinese). Zhou Quan used to be a county magistrate in the Western Jin Dynasty (for counties with a population of less than 10,000 households, its official chief is the chief, and for those with more than 10,000 households, it is a decree. After being captured by the black hair bone, he became the black hair bone's army. After Wufa Gu became the county guard of Langya, as a cronie of Wufa Gu, Zhou Quanshui rose to become the county governor of Langya County. The black hair bone was born a barbarian, and naturally knows nothing about government affairs. Therefore, the usual government affairs of Langya County are generally taken care of by Zhou Quan. Of course! This is limited to general government affairs. If something big happens, it's up to the black hair bones to decide. The black hair bone has some imagination with someone in this regard, but he does it better than others.
Zhou Quan is not yet forty years old, but his hair is gray. The face is also wrinkled. With an aging look and saying that he is over sixty years old, it is estimated that most people will believe it.
Although Zhou Quan is a henchman of the black hair bone. But he rarely came to visit in person unless he was called. But if he comes, it proves that something big must have happened in the county.
"Duke Zhou, my lord (here refers to the tribal leader of the Hu people), please come over!" A Hu waiter said respectfully to Zhou Quan. Although most of the Hu people look down on the Zhao people, when they reach the level of Zhou Quan, they are not something that a small waiter can offend.
After hearing this, Zhou Quan, who was kneeling in the living room and closing his eyes, slowly opened his eyes, got up and said to the waiter: "Please lead the way!" ”
For thoughtfulness, the waiter did not dare to slack off. Hurriedly walked to the back room with Zhou Quan.
……
"Your Excellency, please see your Excellency!" As soon as he entered the inner room, Zhou Quan immediately saluted a strong man wearing a Confucian robe.
This strong man in a Confucian robe, Hao Ran, was the lord of the Nodonuka tribe and the ruler of Langya County. Although Wu Fa Gu was born as a barbarian, he himself loved Confucianism and admired Confucius very much. Although he had little knowledge and no guidance from famous teachers, he often made jokes that were enough to make the sages jump out of their graves. But he himself has always enjoyed it.
"It turned out that Zhou Gong was here! Zhou Gong doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly! Wu Fagu, who was concentrating on reading the "Book of Shang", put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said to Zhou Quan kindly. It's hard to imagine that a barbarian black-haired bone would read slowly and patiently like an ordinary scholar, which seems funny, but it's true. And he's not pretending, because he's literate. In this regard, the black hair bone is much stronger than Huhuang Shihu, because Shihu is illiterate. It is hard to believe that Shi Hu, as the ruler of Shi Zhao, who owns half of the country, is illiterate. But this is a historical reality.
"Thank you, sir!" Thank you thoughtfully.
"I don't know what is the important thing for Zhou Gong to come this time?" After Zhou Quan knelt down and sat down, Wu Fagu asked.
"My lord, this winter, it has snowed heavily in our county for more than ten consecutive days. There was a severe snow disaster in all prefectures! Many of the common people were in danger of starvation and cold, and could freeze to death at any moment. Please allocate supplies and give orders to fight the disaster! Zhou Quan said calmly. There was no excited tone, and there was no look of urgency. It's completely an expression of a subordinate reporting to a superior.
"Got it!" The black hair bone said perfunctorily. It doesn't seem to be taking this matter to heart. For the black hair bone, Zhao Ren's life is not valuable.
Zhou Quan seems to have expected this outcome for a long time. just sighed silently in his heart, and did not continue to entangle. Because he knew that even if he continued to entangle, it would have no effect, but would increase the evil feeling of the black hair bones.
"Anything else?" Looking at Zhou Quan, who was sitting in the seat without speaking, Wu Fagu continued to ask.
"Back to my lord! Regarding the matter of the show girl, the counties did not complete the task on time due to the problem of the snow disaster! Please give me some more time! Zhou Quan continued to say calmly.
"A bunch of rubbish! I can't even do this little thing! The black hair bone suddenly said angrily.
"Your Excellency!"
"Zhou Gong, you go and tell those fools. The show girl is dedicated to His Majesty, and there must be no delay. If they can't finish it, Ben-sama has to send someone to 'help' them finish it. The black hair bone said viciously. In particular, the word 'help' is accentuated. Obviously, if he had sent someone, things would not have been so simple!
"No!" Zhou Quan still didn't defend anything, just nodded and agreed.
The reason why Zhou Quan came to see Wu Fa Gu this time was mainly for these two major events. After these two major events were resolved, Zhou Quan got up and said goodbye to the black hair bone. However, it was left behind by black hair bones.
"Duke Zhou, a big event has happened in the north recently. I want to hear Zhou Gong's opinion! Wu Fagu asked Zhou Quan.
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Zhou Quan asked respectfully.
"The allied forces of the tribes have been defeated by the Zhao people who are entrenched in the middle of the day!" The black hair bone said expressionlessly.
"How is this possible? There were more than 6,000 troops in the allied forces. Could it be that the Zhao people who are entrenched in the middle of the day have become so strong? Zhou Quan exclaimed.
"Nope! No! The black hair bone shook his head and said, "According to the information brought back by Master Likang. The strength of the Zhao people was not strong, except for a white elite soldier, the rest of the people were very ordinary. The whole part adds up to only 2,000 people. The defeat of the allied forces was still due to internal problems. ”
"What do you think, sir?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.
"Duke Zhou, how about you say that in the spring of next year, a certain person will personally lead the army to defeat the Zhao people?" The black hair bone held the bamboo slip again, and said in high spirits.
Zhou Quan understood the deep meaning of the black hair bone, and the mere Zhao people actually didn't need the black hair bone to take action in person. The black hair bone obviously wanted to bite off a large piece of flesh on the body of the northern tribe.
"No! My lord. Although the allied forces of the various tribes were defeated by the Zhao people. But the vitality of the northern tribes was not greatly damaged. Once you do it, I'm afraid it will startle the snake. When the time comes, once the vigilance of the northern tribes is aroused, the consequences will be unimaginable! All the years I have worked so hard will be in vain! Zhou Quan hurriedly dissuaded.
"What Zhou Gong said is reasonable, but this adult is anxious!" The black hair bone seemed to have figured it out, and said with a sigh.
"But that Zhao people are unforgivable! They dared to kill Lord Ben's beloved general. Then the black hair bone suddenly became angry. Vala had been fighting with the Darkbone, and was loyal to the Darkbone. About Vala's killing, Darkbone is furious!
Although we have never met, for the sake of the same Zhao people! So-and-so can only help you get here. You'll have to rely on yourself in the future! I hope you don't let someone down! Zhou Quan thought secretly in his heart.
"My lord! Zhou has a plan, maybe he can ......"
……
Somewhere.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect to go out hunting! I actually ran into a group of Zhao dogs! What a bumper harvest! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! We're in luck! Tonight there was play! ”
"What are you two pieces of waste doing? What are you stunned about? Why don't you hurry up and help! ”
"No! Promise! ”
……
"My lord, my mother, and everyone. You wait for me. I'm going to get reinforcements to save you now. ”
