Chapter 63: First Entry into Dunhuang
In order to welcome Wei Shuo, the assassin Shi Du Jin, the Taishou Meng Min, the protector Guo Qian, the Zhizhong Suo Xian and other civil and military forces gathered ten miles outside the city to wait. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How can he be so virtuous, he actually bothered to greet all the adults, which is really worthy of a certain person."
"Hahaha, Zhiyuan is too modest, this rebellion is thanks to Gao Chang's timely dispatch of troops to save the people from fire and water."
"It's all the credit of the soldiers, and the teachers are indispensable for the careful teaching."
"Hahaha, accepting Zhiyuan as an apprentice is the wisest decision in the old man's life." After speaking, Du Jin took Wei Shuo's arm and walked towards the city first.
The rest of the crowd followed, and as for Suo Yan, who was tied to him, they didn't even look at him, as if they didn't know this person, and the same was true of Suo Xian in Zhizhong.
After entering the city, Wei Shuo bowed his hand to everyone and said, "It's getting late today, so it's inconvenient for Shuo to disturb you." Let's rest for a moment or two, and then set up a banquet to entertain you. ”
"Three days later, the old man held a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion to celebrate Zhiyuan's suppression of the rebellion.
"Please rest assured, Lord Thorn Shi, I will definitely be there then." After everyone agreed, they all gave up their hands.
When only his own people were left, Du Jin, who was still smiling just now, suddenly had a sudden change in his complexion, and his eyes stared at Wei Shuo sternly.
"You, you, you, what do you want the teacher to say about you? Not only did he have the audacity to imprison the prince of the capital, but he also swaggered to parade Suo Yi through the streets, are you afraid that others will not know that you have a conflict with the family? Do you know that this move alone not only makes the Suo family hate you to the bone, but other families will inevitably die and be sad. ”
"Originally, some rumors have made the family suspicious of you, but now I am afraid that everyone has long regarded you as a flood beast and avoided it."
Seeing that Du Jin trained Wei Shuo like his grandson, everyone was dumbfounded.
Among them, Kang Long almost raised his mace to knock Du Jin with a stick, but fortunately was stopped by Wei Shuo with his eyes.
Wei Shuo knew that Du Jin was all for his good, and he was worried that he was young and ignorant, and he didn't care about doing things, so he reprimanded him.
After a long while, Du Jin's mood calmed down, and finally sighed: "Forget it, the old man is not as capable as Zhiyuan, so he won't say anything more." ”
"Master, what are you talking about? As your apprentice, my whole life is taught by the master, shouldn't the master teach the apprentice? ”
"Humph! The old man can't teach an apprentice like you! ”
After speaking, Du Jin took Wei Shuo's arm and entered the Assassin's Mansion, and said as he walked: "This time you really scared the teacher, when Duan joined the army and came back, you tied up Lu Fu, so scared that the master didn't sleep peacefully for a few nights." ”
"Hehe, that was a last resort, if it weren't for Lu Fu's insistence on not letting the army of disciples enter the customs, why would I have made such a decision?"
"What's next for you? Will you part ways with Lu Guang on this separate and self-reliant, or will you continue to lie dormant and recuperate? ”
"What does Master think?" Wei Shuo asked without answering.
"Hmm......"
Du Jin pondered for a moment, and said in a solemn tone: "According to the teacher's opinion, it is natural to accept it when it is good, and divide Hexi with Lu Guang equally." ”
"Of course the apprentice knows the severity, and he is willing to live in peace with Lu Guang, but I don't know if others are willing or not?"
"If the old man didn't guess wrong, you didn't kill Lu Fu, didn't you just want to negotiate peace with Lu Guang in the future?" Du Jin didn't have a good airway.
"Hahaha, Du Shiye, who knows me!"
Du Jin guessed correctly, Wei Shuo didn't think that he could dominate Hexi this time before entering the customs, and now he doesn't have that strength.
After the war, as long as he could possess Dunhuang and Jiuquan, he would be satisfied.
"However, I'm afraid it's not easy."
"Seeing that you are garrisoning Jiuquan but no longer taking a step to the east, I thought that you wanted to occupy the west of Jiuquan."
"Although these places are vast and sparsely populated, and the economy is not as prosperous as Guzang and Zhangye, in terms of area, they account for almost half of the land in Hexi."
"Right now, Lu Guang is only pinned down by the southern rebellion and Western Qin, and when he calms down Kangning and repels Peng Xinian, the main force of the army will return to the division, and you will never be allowed to divide it again."
"It's a big deal to fight with Lu Guang."
Du Jinden was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Have you been able to fight?" There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Lu Guang's command, what about you? How many soldiers do you have? ”
Wei Shuo stepped forward and gently stroked Du Jin's chest, and persuaded him with good words: "Master, don't worry, and listen to the details." Although there are not as many soldiers and horses as the Lu army, our army is victorious in uniting from top to bottom, one of which is also; As for the second one...... The key is still in the Maison. ”
"The family? Why is this related to the family again? Du Jin was puzzled.
"Master doesn't know that the main purpose of the apprentice's visit to Dunhuang this time is to solve the family."
"But because of the rumors that have only recently emerged?" Du Jin said in his heart.
"Yes and no!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's a rumor because someone in it is deliberately spreading it; Say it's not, because most of the rumors are true. ”
"The apprentices did have the intention of implementing policies such as the uniform land system, the three-long system, the slave release order, and the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry in Hexi, and this is also the reason why the family is hostile to the apprentices."
Du Jin's brain was blank for a while, he originally thought that the rumors that had appeared recently were that someone deliberately framed Wei Shuo, but who knew today that those rumors were all true.
Wei Shuo's move was simply digging up the roots of the family, which shocked him even more than his tying up of Lu Fu.
"This ...... This, this, do you know, in this way, you will always be regarded as a mortal enemy by the family, unless you occupy the world in the future, otherwise they will never occupy your side. ”
"The apprentice naturally knows, but other than that, I can't think of any other way to amass enough wealth in the shortest possible time to build a powerful and incomparable army, and it is impossible to end this troubled era in my lifetime."
This is the first time Wei Shuo has confided in front of outsiders, except for Song Xuan who was not surprised, Du Jin and Duan Ye were more or less shocked.
They are still thinking about how to divide one side and claim the king's hegemony, but Wei Shuo has begun to lay out and unify the world.
"When I first met Naomoto, I thought that you would become a general who would be on the battlefield, and your achievements would be no less than mine;"
"Later, I saw that you were thriving in Gaochang, and I felt that you not only have the potential to become a famous general, but also have the ability to shepherd and defend the party;"
"Later, until I saw you today, the old man thought that you might be able to do the same as the former Liang Zhang Liang and achieve a hegemony."
"But now the old man knows that I have always underestimated Naoyuan, and your ambition is the whole world."
Wei Shuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, disapprovingly: "It's too early to say this, what's the use of just having ambitions?" If you can't settle the family smoothly this time, don't say anything about unifying the world, maybe even the two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang that have just arrived will have to be lost. ”
"So what are you going to do? Is there anything you can help me with? ”
"By the way, there is one more thing, let Duan Ye follow you in the future, so as not to stay in the hands of the old man and bury his talent."
"This ...... Isn't that okay? ”
Wei Shuo looked at Duan Ye in surprise, only to see Duan Ye get up, and said neatly: "Ye is willing to follow Wei Du to protect the left and right." ”
"Oh, that's a real surprise."
"Please sir, and first serve as a military recorder and join the army, and I will be a military counselor, and I will be rewarded for meritorious service in the future."
"Karma, thank you, lord." Duan Ye saluted Wei Shuo very respectfully, which was regarded as confirming the master-slave relationship.
Duan Ye came to vote for Wei Shuo very happy, and now there are few talents under his command, except for Song Xuan and Li Wei, only Xu Zhao, who has been promoted by himself, can handle it.
Duan Ye is a rare talent. And this person has no ambitions, and he is a henchman of the master, so he can use it with confidence.
"Yes, thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your success." In the end, Duan Ye thanked Du Jin again, which made him feel emotional.
"Teacher, the apprentice plans to give a big gift to the family in the near future, how about it?"
"You can do it yourself, as long as you feel sure about it."
"Of course I am sure, but I need the teacher's cooperation."
