At present, it is no longer only Hexi and Houyan who are concerned about the dispute between the displaced people in Hebei, but even the Northern Wei Dynasty is also ready to move.

Every day, scouts rode back and forth between Shengle and Jicheng, reporting the changes in Hebei to Tuoba Jue one by one.

At the beginning, Tuoba Jue also hoped that Hexi and Houyan would start a war, and it was best for the two sides to fight.

However, a long time passed, and he did not expect the news of the war between the two sides, which disappointed him.

"Honglong, why are Hexi and Houyan reluctant to go to war?"

When Zhang Yan next to him heard this, he couldn't help sighing and said, "It seems that Houyan really has to make an agreement with Hexi privately." ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Jue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that Hexi has formed an alliance with Houyan?" ”

Zhang Yan glanced at Tuoba, reluctantly smiled, shook his head and said, "What is the specific situation, the minister doesn't know." ”

"It's just that Hebei was in chaos like that at the beginning, and there was no reaction from Houyan up and down."

"And recently, the harassment of the Hexi cavalry has been significantly weakened."

"There are all kinds of signs that the two sides must have reached a compromise, but I don't know if it involves my Great Wei."

"In case Hou Yan uses the release of the displaced people as a condition to take advantage of the situation to win over Hexi, then Youzhou will be in danger."

"Yes, in this way, Hou Yan has successfully removed the threat from the flank, and Murong Chui will definitely go north in a big way."

"Don't worry, the king, Houyan has declined after all, even if there is Hexi behind him, it is difficult to shake the foundation of the Great Wei."

"Especially the high pond of Jicheng City, even if Hou Yan lifts heavy troops north, there is no need to worry."

"What Hong Long said is very true, now it is not what it used to be, and Houyan has long lost the sharpness of the past."

Zhang Yan exhaled and comforted him. "Although it failed to prompt Hexi to start a war with Houyan, the current situation is not bad for the Great Wei. ”

"After this chaos, the Hebei family and Hu Hanhaoqiang are considered to have formed a mortal enmity with Hexi."

"When the king raises troops to the south in the future, it will be decided whether it will be passed on."

Tuoba Jue couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said with excitement on his face: "If this is the case, the widow should follow Confucianism and rule Hebei with the family." ”

Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "The great king is small, not only in Hebei to respect Confucianism and the family, but the whole world. ”

"Now most of the guards are in the name of suppressing the family, and the king is just the opposite, in order to collect the heart of the family."

"Although Wei Shuo said that he was eloquent, he came from a humble background after all, and he didn't know that the family was powerful, thinking that with elite soldiers and strong generals, he could run rampant."

"As everyone knows, this world is the world of the family after all, Wei Shuo can rely on force to subdue the Northwest family, but he doesn't know that the Kanto family is powerful."

"And this Hebei rebellion, although it has brought nearly 100,000 displaced people to Hexi Lane, and also won the hearts of many ordinary people, but it has also made Hexi a thorn in the side of the family."

"Once the world's families are united, with the strength of the northwest, it is simply delusional to want to dominate the world."

"As long as the king insists on abiding by Confucianism and respecting the family, the family of the world will fully support the king, so why should Wei Shuo worry about it at that time?"

In the end, Zhang Yan suddenly sneered and said, "Let's see what will happen to this Wei Zhiyuan in the end!" ”

Tuoba Jue was dumbfounded when he heard this, he had always regarded Wei Shuo as a confidant, and in the eyes of his confidants, Wei Shuo had already entered a dead end.

He looked at Zhang Yan with excitement on his face, and asked again and again, "Is this really the case?" Hong Long is coaxing the widow to be happy? ”

Zhang Yan nodded heavily, he was unparalleled in talent and sharp-eyed, and he had already seen the current situation very thoroughly.

In China, since the Han Dynasty, the government has not gone to the countryside.

The territory is too big, the population is too large, the geography is inconvenient, and the matter is too complicated, how much can the high Son of Heaven and the courtiers manage?

If the government is only in charge of the county, the Son of Heaven and the court only need to keep an eye on tens of thousands of officials.

It is precisely the lack of effective management at the grassroots level that led to the growth of local forces, and eventually gave rise to the class of wealthy families.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, the power of the family has become more and more inflated, and the power in the local area has become heavier, and it has gradually become the largest force in the world.

For example, in the Southern and Eastern Jin Dynasties, there was even a situation where the family and the imperial power ruled the world together.

Although the Northland has been severely weakened due to the war, it still has a strong force.

In Zhang Yan's view, what Wei Shuo is doing is destroying the foundation of the family's rule over the world, and it will definitely be fiercely opposed by the world's families.

Even if he kills and completely suppresses the family, there is no way to establish an effective rule in a short period of time, and he will only plunge himself into complete chaos.

On the contrary, although the Northern Wei Dynasty was a Hulu regime, it was easier to conquer the world than Hexi because it followed the interests of the family.

……

"My lord, Liu Zao, the envoy of Hebei peace, has entered Jinyang, and Lord Zhang Teng has started negotiations with the other party according to the previous plan."

"I believe that it won't be long before Hexi and Houyan reach a compromise, and the displaced people will be able to enter Jin smoothly."

"Phew~ Now Bendu Hu is finally relieved."

While Tuoba was talking freely with his confidants and advisers, Wei Shuo also met with a group of staff in the palace.

To be honest, don't look at Hexi's appearance of giving up everything for the homeless, in fact, it's all for outsiders to see.

Everyone in Hexi knows very well that it is not appropriate for Hexi to turn against Houyan at the moment, otherwise it will only cheapen the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It's not that Wei Shuo doesn't want to take Hebei, it's that Hexi's strength is not good, and he still has a heart in the heart.

The invasion of Hebei is just to make a fortune in Hebei to make up for the losses of relief to the displaced people and the war, and then retreat to the west of Taihang Mountain to continue to recuperate.

In the future, after leveling Guanzhong and growing to a certain extent, he will come back to compete with Zhuhu for Hebei and the Central Plains.

"My lord, this time the cavalry has gained a lot of benefits."

"Not counting the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, just from those Hu Hanhao Qiangwu Forts, countless money and grain were copied out."

"Hehehe, I finally got back some capital, and now I don't have to worry about resettle the displaced people."

"Not only is it to resettle displaced people, in the opinion of the ministers, I am afraid that even the cost of the last battle to merge states can be wiped out."

"Can't you?" Wei Shuo couldn't believe it.

"Why not? The minister explained clearly to the people below that all local tyrants and bullies, regardless of Hu Han, will be wiped out. ”

"Hehe, even some well-known families have been blackmailed, and they have paid tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan according to their family background and family background."

"This amount of money is nothing to those century-old families, but it can be accumulated into a lot, and millions of dollars can always be extorted."

"In this way, Bendu protects all the Hebei families." Cui Hao couldn't laugh or cry.

"This is also something that can't be helped, at present, Hexi has gone through two major wars in the state and the Western Regions, and the treasury of various places has long been empty."

"Suddenly there was a large influx of displaced people, how to resettle without money and food? You can't let the homeless starve to death or freeze to death, right? ”

"Later, I learned that the local Haoqiang intercepted the displaced people into Jin, and Daohe offered Shuo a plan to harass Hebei with cavalry by the way."

"First, it is to force Houyan to make concessions, so that the displaced people can enter the Jin smoothly; The second is to raise grain, grass and money. ”

"Hebei is rich, and the local families are so rich that we only need to shave a single hair from them, which is enough to meet the needs of the victims."

"Now, as expected, everything is going well, not only have we got relief money and food, but there may also be some surplus."

"Coupled with the looted property of various countries in the Western Regions, a huge fiscal deficit has finally been avoided this year."

However, although this invasion of Hebei made Hexi make a lot of money, it made Cui Hao, Song Miao and other children of the family not look good-looking.

Seeing this, Wei Shuo could only say something to comfort: "Bo Yuan, Tiye, don't worry, Shuo has already greeted Zhongde and asked him to pay attention to proportions and stop in moderation." ”

Hearing this, Cui Hao and Song Miao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and this time they finally got to know Liu Muzhi newly.

This right Sima, who was born in a cold family, seems to have found his own position and is ready to act as a spokesperson for the interests of the Hanmen in Hexi.

In the past, although the Hexi Hanmen was huge, it was always unable to form a strong influence because of the lack of a core-level figure.

After all, the real dominance in the upper class of Hexi is still the number of people from the family, even if Wang Zhenwei is more inclined to the family at some times.

And this new right Sima, with his own talent and courage, quickly became the core of the strength of Hexi Hanmen.

Everything he says and does is to protect the interests of the poor and the common people, and he has a relatively tough attitude towards the family.

If it was Cui Hao or Song Xuan who accompanied the capital at that time, they would never have proposed that the cavalry enter Hebei.
