Chapter 990: Recruit into the Dynasty to seek foreigners
It is really a clever name to be ordered to send an envoy to the Fanbang tribe, because the location of this envoy is not under the control of the imperial court.
Wei Cao's uncle and nephew are not only members of the Daijun family, located in the frontier land, they have long had a layout, and they also have friendships with several tribes in the frontier, and they have given a lot of benefits.
Therefore, when the news of Wei Qiang's fall came, although Daijun suffered a calamity, he still recovered a certain amount of losses, so that the uncle and nephew arrived at the tribe safely with some of the clansmen.
After that, despite the pressure exerted by the imperial court, there were signs of instability in the north at that time, and the prestige of the New Han Dynasty in the north gradually faded, and the Tuoba Department was also needed to help contain the Xiongnu.
When the Xiongnu rose, various natural and man-made disasters in the north came, and the hunt for the Wei family's uncle and nephew existed in name only, and even for various reasons, under the influence of many connections and coincidences, the appointment of Wei Cao's envoy was still there, so that the uncle and nephew could still be attributed to the Han court in name.
It's just that this is just a name, even the most stupid people know that if Uncle Wei Cao's uncle and nephew really want to return, as long as they leave the control of Pioneer Baxianbei, or leave the grassland and step into the Central Plains, they will be arrested immediately.
This is also one of the reasons why Wei Xiong is reluctant to go out of the city and surrender, and it is still difficult to take it out and talk about it on the table.
However, since Wei Xiong was already his own prisoner at this moment, Chen Zhi also had some thoughts about the Wei family, so when he spoke, he had less scruples and directly mentioned the order of the imperial court.
Sure enough, after a short period of discomfort, Wei Xiong said bluntly: "General Chen is a person who understands, and he won't know that he is tired, and my Wei family is also loyal to the Han Dynasty, but the Heavenly Family is the most ruthless, just because of a few words from my uncle in the court, I pursued Zhu Lian and forced the Wei family to flee, but even so, I have never had a proposal to invade the Celestial Empire among the Tuoba clan." ”
"Now, aren't you going to bring troops to Kou Youzhou?" Chen Zhi shook his head and waved his hand disappreciatively, "Say that these are all empty, since I let General Wei in, naturally I am not talking this nonsense, Youzhou is initially decided, there are a lot of things on my side, let's make a long story short, this time in the case of the general situation in the Northland, you are still guarding the city, just to buy a little time for Tuoba Liuxiu, so that he can complete the big things in the Tuoba Department, yes or no?" ”
Wei Xiong immediately fell silent, he was not surprised that Chen Zhi knew this, because the letters he put in Tuncheng had already told him about it, since he was captured and Tuncheng had fallen, those letters naturally fell into Chen Zhi's hands, and there was no secret at all.
What's more, he also knew that Chen Zhi had a secret spy department under him, who was well-informed, and the Tuoba Department was originally friendly with the Chen family, and there were many personal contacts inside, which were all suitable opportunities and ways to install spies and manpower, if Chen Zhi did not arrange for someone to find out the news, it would be abnormal.
Seeing that Wei Xiong was silent, Chen Zhi continued: "Not long ago, I received news that Tuoba Shan was seriously ill and difficult to govern, and the government affairs of the clan were handed over to Tuoba Liuxiu to deal with. ”
Wei Xiong finally replied: "This matter is an internal affair of the Tuoba Department......"
"Internal affairs?" Chen Zhi smiled, shook his head and said, "If it's an internal matter, how can it provoke a civil war in the Tuoba clan?" Before, you led the army over, and the famous General Ji Yu was also on your side, but now what about the people? ”
As soon as he heard this, Wei Xiong realized that Chen Zhi's understanding of the situation in Tuoba was still beyond his expectations.
Chen Zhi said again: "Ji Tang is in the Tuoba Department, and his military exploits are on par with you, but because he was born in his clan, his situation is better than that of the general, and he has the trust of the Tuoba clan, and now several Tuoba other departments are recruiting Tuoba Six Repairs, at such a critical moment, he was called back to assist in guarding the Tuoba headquarters, but the general you were left behind, the Youzhou strategy is also very important, but it is more of a diversion role, in short, similar to the abandoned son......"
These words directly hit Wei Xiong's sore spot, making it difficult for him to refute.
This is also an unavoidable situation for Wei Xiong and others, no matter how much credit they make, after all, it is difficult to get real recognition and trust through layers of blood relationships.
Looking at Wei Xiong, whose face was uncertain, Chen Zhi glanced at Tong Hai, who understood, and stepped forward and said: "Not long ago, there was an accident in the Tuoba Department, Shan Yu Tuoba Yilu suddenly fell, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”
"As a big family, in addition to the main department, there are many other departments and subordinates, many of which are similar to the Tuoba Yilu bloodline, and some of them can be traced back to the Tuoba Liwei era, such as the descendants of Tuoba Desert Khan, who may be more qualified to inherit the throne."
"As soon as this other department and other department heard that Shan Yu had fallen, they immediately rushed to the ground like a wolf that smelled fishy, and when they heard that Tuoba Liuxiu wantonly squeezed out and suppressed dissidents, forcing away many people, they immediately became excited, and they did not hide it, and directly raised troops and left, and the banner of fighting was to set things right."
Civil war broke out.
Chen Zhi took over the words and said: "Originally, the six cultivators were dealing with the civil war, and the combat strength was tight, so I transferred Ji Yu back, and forced General Wei to fight quickly, but I didn't want to let go of the original intention of containing my Youzhou, so I contradicted myself and could only continue to put pressure on you, which is also an important reason why you took the risk." ”
Wei Xiong couldn't help but sigh, his face gloomy.
Chen Zhi didn't stop talking, and continued: "As far as I know, General Wei and Uncle Gui can gain a foothold in the Tuoba Department, mainly relying on the support of Tuoba Yi Lu Danyu, with this old Shan Yu to control the situation, the entire tribe can operate normally, as for Tuoba Liuxiu, I don't have much contact with him, but I heard that when he was in Luoyang, there were many bad words about the people of the Han family, if he was in power, he could still endure the children of the Han family for a while, after a long time, I am afraid that the Han family sons of the Tuoba Department will not have a good life, I heard that most of the north, There are not a few people like Wei's who seek refuge. ”
Wei Xiong didn't refute, he knew very well the temperament of this lord now, if it weren't for Tuoba Yilu's order, I'm afraid Wei Xiong wouldn't have come out of this person at all.
But when he heard this, he also tasted a little taste, but he was not sure, so he simply asked: "What does General Chen want to do with a certain family?" ”
Chen Zhi pondered for a while, and finally said: "I intend to let the Wei family return to the generation, I don't know what the general wants?" ”
