Chapter Seventy-Four: Mediation

The red sun had just risen, and the east was still white, and the sound of horses stepping on stone slabs broke the silence of the entire golden city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Han Sui summoned the civil and military officials of Jincheng to gather at Taishou Mansion early in the morning, as if something was going on.

Han Sui's general Ren Shuang met Yan Xing on the road, and Ren Shuang arched his hand and asked, "This early fire is in a hurry, does General Yan know what is going on?" ”

"I don't know, I just got the order." Yan Xing shook his head and didn't say anything, Ren Shuang also knew Yan Xing's temper, so it was not good to ask any more.

When the messenger of the Qiangqiang Department passed by Yan Xing and Ren Shuang and entered Han Sui's meeting hall, the others had already arrived. Yan Xing and Ren Shuang also stood in their respective positions, and Han Sui asked Yan Xing and Ren Shuang to hand two distress letters.

"This is a letter of help from the Ministry of Dangqiang, you can see it." Han Sui sat on the main seat and gently combed the hair on his sideburns.

Although he had already read the same letter, Yan Xing still took the letter in his hand and read it carefully, even slower than Ren Shuang. Ren Shuang didn't know a few big words, scratched his ears and cheeks and barely read it, returned the letter to the attendant, stood in place and yawned.

After the two of them finished reading, Han Sui asked, "What should you do?" ”

These generals in Jincheng have followed Han Sui to fight for many years, and they have more than enough to kill the enemy. At this time, generals, you look at me, and I look at you. Han Sui sighed lightly, "Yanming, what do you think?"

"The last general thinks that we should send troops. But not to help either side, but to mediate. Yan Xing will talk about the countermeasures that he has already thought of, unhurriedly.

Han Sui's eyes narrowed slightly, and slowly opened, "Why?" ”

"Whether it's burning the He Qiang Department or frying the Qiang Department, they are all good friends with us." Yan Xing paused slightly, so that the people present could follow his train of thought, "The Burning He Qiang tribe is the largest Qiang tribe in Jincheng, and we can't offend it for the time being. ”

"Then since you can't offend the big tribe, then go and help destroy the small tribe, and you can still make friends with the burning He Qiang tribe." Zhang Hui, the chief secretary of Jincheng, put forward a different view. Han Sui's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, Zhang Hui came back from Han Sui in the Qiang tribe back then, seeing that he knew a few words, and had some attainments in money and food, Han Sui asked him to be a small official in Taishou Mansion. In the past few years, with his own ability, he has been in the position of the master of Jincheng, and he is also the person Han Sui trusts.

Yan Xing smiled slightly, and was not angry because of Zhang Hui's disagreement, "Although the power of the Dangqiang Department is very weak, if they are in a hurry, it will inevitably hurt us." That will also make other small tribes look away from us and not dare to submit to us. ”

Han Sui nodded slowly and waved his hand, "Yan Ming will gather the troops immediately, and we will go to make peace for the two departments." ”

Han Sui ordered 5,000 men and horses, and only took Yan Xing with him to reconcile the two departments. Han then set up the camp between the two tribes, formed a three-legged situation with the other two camps, and invited Fei Ke and Solmu to his big tent at the first time.

In Han Sui's big tent, Yan Xing stood behind Han Sui with a snake spear in his hand, faintly giving people a sense of oppression. Fei Ke and Sol Mu sat on either side of Han Sui with his men. The enemies were very red when they saw each other, and the smell of gunpowder was full of gunpowder in the big tent, if it weren't for their weapons being left outside the tent, the fight would have started at this time.

"The two leaders are both their own brothers, why make such a fuss." Han Sui spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere in the tent and persuaded him bitterly.

"Humph! Whoever is with him is his own brother. Solmu said angrily, his face twisted to the side.

Fico picked his teeth with his fingers and spat out the meat scraps, "Brother? General Han, you and I can be regarded as brothers, he and we are both uncles and nephews. Don't lower your rank in order to coax your children. ”

"What did you say?" Solmu slapped the table and stood up, his face purple.

"Whatever I say, I'm telling the truth." Fei Ke spread his hands and said very scoundrelly.

Seeing that Solmu was about to turn over the table, Han Sui came out to make peace, "Okay, let's solve the conflict between the two leaders, not to quarrel, let alone fight." ”

Solmu looked at Yan Xing behind Han Sui from time to time, and when he saw Solmu's token that seemed to be leaking, a trace of anger flashed on Yan Xing's face. No matter how Solmu hinted, Yan Xing didn't say a word, just stood behind Han Sui.

"The old man also knows a little about this matter, I don't know how Fei Ketou is willing to make peace with the Dangqiang Ministry?" Now that Fei Ke has an advantage, if he wants to make peace, of course, he must give Fei Ke some benefits, and Han Sui is well aware of this.

"Five thousand cows, five thousand sheep. I, Fei Ke, withdrew from the army and spared the Qiang Department. Fico sat lazily and put his shiny hand on his knee.

There were 5,000 cattle and sheep each, and Solmu could take them out, but they consumed half of all the belongings of the Dangqiang Department. Fico was a lion's mouth, and Solmu couldn't agree. Seeing that Yan Xing never stood up to say a word for himself, Solmu sneered, didn't say anything, and threw the token in his hand on the ground.

"General Han, you also saw it, it was he who didn't want to make peace, and I killed him, so it's no wonder to me." Fico swiped the roast lamb on the table with a dagger and said nonchalantly.

Looking at the back of Solmu who was far away, Han Sui's face suddenly darkened, "This doesn't need to be done by the head of Feike, the old man is willing to do it for him, and the livestock, women and territory of the Qiang's department still belong to your head of Feike." ”

Although Fei Ke was surprised, he quickly understood what Han Sui meant, "I don't know what General Han wants?" ”

"I want you Fei Ketou to dominate the Jincheng Qiang tribe and use it for my use." Han Sui also ate a piece of mutton and slowly tasted it.

He toyed with the dagger in his hand, but Fico was racing in his mind. It may not have been possible to unify the Jincheng Qiang people before, but with Han Sui as the backing, it is much simpler. Han Sui had iron in his hands that the Qiang people did not have, and if his soldiers all used iron weapons, their combat effectiveness would be greatly improved. When the time comes, it is not impossible to become the king of Jincheng Qiang, or even the king of Xiliangqiang, to enter the Central Plains.

Fei Ke seemed to look at himself as the king of Xiliangqiang, with a smile on his face, since Han Sui was willing to be this stepping stone, why not. Han Sui knew that Fei Ke was already tempted, and a smile appeared on his face, and the two looked at each other, both with their own little calculations in their hearts.

"Then I don't know when Brother Han will do it?" Fei Ke is such a shrewd person, even his title for Han Sui has changed.

Han Sui stroked the white beard under his chin, "Tonight, when the sun rises tomorrow, Brother Fei Ke will send someone to accept the Qiang Ministry." ”

"Thank you, Brother Han." Fico picked up the jar and took a sip of wine.

There were bursts of laughter in the tent, the wind was blowing, and the weeds everywhere were swaying with the wind, and the fate of the Qiangs was decided.
