Chapter 620: Leaving a child as a hostage

Xu Wei didn't kill the Yi Shenglong after all, because that guy still had some use. Although Guan Shigu said that all the Qiang within a radius of two hundred miles of Renduoquan City had been surrendered, in fact, he was just scaring him. Yi Shenglong has a long reputation among the Qiang people, and if he is allowed to appease the tribe, it will definitely be more advantageous than the Xihe officials.

In addition, since the capital has come, there is no reason to confiscate Jisang City. After the other party handed over the Yi Shenglong family, Yao Pingzhong used two excuses to use troops against Jisang. First, the city lord dared to harbor Bai Ma Dawa and did not hand over the remnants of the Yi Shengzhi Dragon, which was intended to deceive the Western Army; Second, how dare you accept the sweat and blood of Captain Xu?

When the Xihe army surrounded the city and was about to storm it, the city lord automatically surrendered. The Xihe army collected two cities, expanded the land for more than 300 miles, and pushed the border to the area laid down by the small species in the past. Subsequently, under the instruction of Xu Wei, Yao Pingzhong ordered Yi Shenglong and others to appease Zhuqiang and get tens of thousands of accounts.

After the war, the little lieutenants each left thousands of soldiers to guard the two cities, and Xu Wei signed the appointment letter on the spot. In order to take care of the relationship with Xia, so as not to tear the skin, the Xihe army did not advance further, but withdrew to Xining. The Yi Shengren Long and the City Lord of Jisang were also escorted back to Xihe, which was already the beginning of June. During this time, Xu Wei had not received any information about the battle of Xianghan, so he expected that the fierce battle was in full swing.

"Alright, that's it. After you go back, Haosheng appeases the people, and the government has already told you about the policy, so I won't say much. I'm actually a very talkative person, as long as I follow my rules, I won't treat you badly. "In the state of Xining, Xu Weizheng met with the family of the city lord of Jisan.

The lord of the city bowed his head and thanked him, and led his two sons out of the hall, but left one of them there to wait. Xu Wei said again: "As for you, go to the pavilion to rest, and return to Qinzhou with me in the near future." ”

"Thank you, Captain, for lifting up." That guy is so born and majestic, it's like an iron tower! But at this time, he was trembling, so much so that when he said goodbye to Xu Wei and walked outside the hall, he didn't know which foot to come out of.

After he left, Ma Kuo said with a smile: "Xihe General Zuo only knows how to move his troops into the interior, but he doesn't know that in this way, he needs to spend money and grain, and he has to allocate land. Now, instead of spending money, the government will also help local defense. ”

Xu Wei laughed: "It's hard to say, it's just a formality." ”

Ma Kuo nodded, and then said to the guards outside the door: "Call the Yi Shenglong father and son in." ”

After a while, but when he saw the three sons of Yi Shenglong leading the three sons inside, they didn't dare to raise their heads, and went straight to the middle of the kneel and bow. Ma Kuo opened his mouth and said: "You have violated my border twice, and then attacked Maoniu City and killed the city lord, which is a sin that cannot be forgiven. But if you have done meritorious service in appeasing your subordinates, this capital crime will be forgiven. ”

The Yi Shengren Dragon was finally relieved at this time, and said with a pause: "Thank you for the grace of life." ”

"Don't thank me, this is what Mrs. Xu meant." Ma Kuang Road.

The Yi Shenglong and the sons raised their heads and looked up at the hall, and their hearts were shocked. Isn't this the official sitting in the corner of Yao Dashuai's military tent a few days ago? It turns out that he is a captain! Slow, his surname is Xu? I used to know that the commander of Jingyuan, Xu Yuan, was the official residence of the Taiwei, but he had passed away, this Xu Taiwei, could it be the Purple Golden Tiger?

Then he thanked Taiwei Xu again, and Zijin Hu waved his hand and said, "I left your father and son alive, not just to appease the Qiang tribesmen. I even want your father and son to Jingsui border for me, now Renduoquan City has been restored to the Great Song Dynasty, I want to let you go back, how about it? ”

When the father and son heard his words, they couldn't believe it! Instead of beheading, you can go back to your hometown? Yi Shenglong looked up at Xu Wei, didn't know what to say, only kowtowed.

"I have ordered Xihe Shuaisi to lend you cattle and sheep grain to help you tide over the difficulties. Here's my letter of appointment for you, take it. Xu Wei picked up an official document from the desk, Ma Kuo stepped forward to take it, handed it to the Yi Shenglong, and explained: "Taiwei appointed you as the inspection envoy of both the Zhilong clan, so you can live hard. ”

Yi Shenglong didn't pick it up, and bowed again: "The villain is a big sin, how can he be worthy of being so promoted by the Taiwei?" I am willing to lead my troops to attach to Xihe and never rebel! "He's not hypocritical, the conditions in the interior of the Xihe River are naturally much better than those around Renduoquan City, if he can move over, first of all, Taiwei Xu doesn't have to worry about us rebelling, and secondly, life will be better.

"You have a lot of prestige in Zhuqiang, and the Taiwei uses you to let you sit in the place. What good can you do if you move to the mainland? Ma Kuo said in a deep voice.

When the Yi Shenglong heard this, he didn't dare to make any more noise. It has been made clear before, keep you because you are useful, if you are useless, what are you left for? He took the letter of appointment with both hands and thanked him repeatedly. The three sons behind him all had happy faces, not only did they save their lives this time, but their father was even sent by an official position. The return of the clan is that.

Just thinking about this, I heard Ma Kuo say: "This time you have a meritorious service in appeasing the ministries, and the Taiwei will promote you to ensure that your eldest son Gangduo will be a 'Yi Weilang', and he will serve under the Taiwei in the future." ”

The Yi Shenglong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on. At this moment, he categorically didn't dare to resist at all, and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Captain, for your success!" ”

After worshipping, seeing that the eldest son did not react, he hurriedly said: "Don't thank the captain yet?" ”

The Gonduo also fell headlong and said in stiff Chinese: "Taiwei Xie." It is said that Yi Shenglong took a Han woman, so his family is fluent in Chinese. This may also be one of the reasons why Xu Wei is willing to spare his life.

Xu Wei instructed a few more words, and also ordered Yi Shenglong to lead the second son to go by himself, and the eldest son to live in the pavilion. But at this end, Yi Shengzhilong came out with his two sons, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw that the eldest son was taken away, and he didn't even have a chance to do anything on the sidewalk.

Baimadawa, who had been waiting outside, ran over and asked anxiously, "Abala, why was my brother taken away?" Is it ......?"

Yi Shenglong shook his head: "Daughter, this is called keeping a son as a hostage, and the Taiwei is afraid that I will rebel again, although he let us go back and gave us an official position, but he took your brother as a hostage." ”

Bai Ma Dawa's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light: "They want to detain the eldest brother, it is better to ......"

Before he finished speaking, his father's and brother's faces changed dramatically! Yi Shenglong grabbed her and shouted, "You don't want to die? Now our lives are in the hands of Taiwei Xu, as long as he backhands, we will lift our heads to the ground! ”

"Abala, there is no other way to do it. Let's go back and do what Taiwei Xu wants, my brother will never be in danger of his life. The second son persuaded.

"Dawa, don't talk nonsense. Do you know who that Captain Xu is? It's the official who you tried to kill him that day, and took his BMW! Let's go! Miko said to his sister.

As soon as the words fell, he heard a voice behind him: "Taiwei summoned Bai Ma Dawa to see him, quick, come with me!" ”
