When it snowed heavily, the tribal adults of all sizes in Hexi received a very special gift. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hexi Taishou, Beizhonglang General Cao Peng, invited the Hexi tribe to come to Hongshui to discuss matters.
If it had been before, no one would have paid attention to this invitation at all. But now, as the Hongshui camp is getting bigger and bigger, and Fengmingtan and Lianbao have been greatly supplemented, they have formed a strong support for the Hongshui camp.
In particular, Fengming Beach is unexpected, but also reasonable.
After the Battle of Fengmingtan, Deng Fan Deqianghu captured more than 10,000 people. Cao Peng transferred 1,500 Han households from the Hongshui camp, plus the previous Han army, the population has exceeded 20,000. With such a huge population base, it is enough to set up a county in Hexi. It's just that Cao Peng used Fengming Beach to assist in the defense, but now he took away Zhixian without a sound, which made many people feel uncomfortable, and at the same time they were aware of Cao Peng's strength and unchangeable determination.
Hexi is under the rule of the imperial court.
I want to set up a county here, but I am ordered by the imperial court, who dares to stop it?
Taking advantage of the great victory of Fengming Beach, Cao Peng forcibly seized Fengming Beach, but no one dared to express any different opinions.
This is Cao Peng's 'potential'!
Now, Cao Peng convened the adults of various tribes to discuss the matter, which made people even more worried.
Some people are dismissive, but others are terrified.
On October 27, outside the Hongshui camp, it was very lively. The tribal adults who came to participate in the meeting were in an endless stream, and it was particularly noisy.
In order to appease the adults of the tribes, Cao Peng ordered people to set up a camp west of the Hongshui camp and sent a special person to be responsible for entertaining. Jia Xing naturally took on the affairs of this hospitality. He speaks fluent Liangzhou dialect, and from time to time he will greet the adults of various tribes in Qianghu and Xiongnu languages, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"Hongshagang, Lord Tan Zhe has arrived!"
As the sergeant shouted, the tribal adults who had arrived at the camp cheered up and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
Tan Zhe has a very high status in Hexi.
In addition to Qianghu and Hongze, it can be regarded as the third largest force.
Now, even Tan Zhe has come, and even if those tribal adults feel uncomfortable, they are all a lot more comfortable.
"Even Lord Tan didn't dare to refuse General Cao's request?"
"I heard that Lord Tan and General Cao have an excellent relationship, and there are also very close transactions. Previously, Lord Dou of Hongze had asked Lord Tan for reinforcements, but Lord Tan always refused to make a move, because of General Cao's face. ”
"In this way, doesn't it mean that the overall situation in Hexi has been decided?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on what Master Dou does...... Otherwise, there will still be a fight. ”
At this moment, another soldier shouted loudly: "Hong Ze, Lord Geng Qinggeng has arrived!" ”
"Hongze, Lord Qiunu has arrived!"
“……”
When several tribal lords of the Hongze tribe appeared, there was another commotion in the camp.
However, Cao Peng still did not appear.
The person responsible for arranging these tribesmen is Buqi Buzi Mountain.
Xiahou Lan led a hundred horsemen to accompany him, and the solemn momentum made everyone in the camp tremble.
"General Cao can't come to entertain the princes in person because of his official duties.
However, he entrusted him to greet the princes...... The banquet has been prepared, and if there is any need, just ask Jia Hucao. ”
After that, Bu Qi stepped forward to greet Tan Zhe, and whispered a few words to him, and saw Tan Zhe with a spring breeze on his face, and nodded again and again.
When leaving, Bu Qi also nodded to Geng Qing to say hello.
and cordially inquired about Geng Qing's eldest son, Geng Lin.
"My son-in-law has great respect for the knowledge of the eldest son.
He told me that he wanted to entertain Master Geng...... When the assembly is held tomorrow, Lord Geng has a good drink. ”
Everyone looked at Geng Qing's gaze a little wrong!
After Bu Qi left, Qiu Nu grabbed Geng Qing's arm, "Old Geng, when did you get into a relationship with General Cao?" ”
Geng Qing's face was full of red light, with a smug smile on his face.
"How can I have the qualifications to talk to General Cao, it's just my dog...... Hehe, you also know that he likes to read on weekdays, and General Cao is a very famous celebrity in the Central Plains, so he attaches a little more importance to dogs. ”
A few words made everyone nod their heads.
Qiu Nu praised even more: "Old Geng, you have raised a good son." ”
In the past, when it came to Geng Lin, the tribal adults of Hongze were often dismissive.
In their eyes, it is enough to be able to write their own name, and what is the use of reading so many books? Although there is no useless saying that scholars are useless in these years, but in the land of Saibei, the status of scholars is not comparable to those heroic soldiers who dance knives and guns. But now it seems that reading more books also seems to be beneficial?
Geng Qing suddenly raised his eyebrows.
The big tent was very lively, and Geng Qing became the most sought after person besides Tan Zhe.
It is imperative for the imperial court to recover Hexi.
Being able to establish a good relationship with General Cao will undoubtedly be extremely crucial to their future life in Hexi.
Looking at General Cao's style, it seems that he does not reject the Qianghu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Di people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have a close relationship with Tan Zhe.
Moreover, judging by his actions, it seems that he did not unite the Han people into a group independent of Hexi, as before, but scattered and tried to live in peace with the Hu people. It is often said that the Hu people are warlike! But not every Hu person likes to fight and kill. If you can live a good life, who wants to work hard?
Let's see tomorrow!
The Han army prepared a special 'Caojia pot', that is, shabu-shabu, for the tribesmen attending the meeting.
Plates of mutton, cut into thin slices of meat, served, soaked in a pot, dipped in dipping sauce, make people feel mouthful. This is the food culture of the Central Plains, but it is in line with the eating habits of Qianghu as much as possible......
Everyone drank wine and ate shabu-shabu, and unconsciously added a little curiosity to Cao Peng.
That night they were all rejoicing, and they went to their tents to rest.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There was nothing to do all night, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, I heard the sound of drums from the Hongshui camp in the distance.
The tribal lords got dressed and came out of their tents. Groups of three or five gathered together and were about to chat, but they heard someone exclaim.
"Look!"
"What happened?"
Everyone raised their hands to look, but this look made people shudder.
When they came yesterday, they remembered it clearly.
The west bank of the Red Water Camp was built with a simple fence. But now, the fence is gone! In its place, there is a towering wall. The city wall is six zhang high, about eighteen miles long, like a long dragon, crawling on the bank of the Hongshui River. Under the sun, the city wall is crystal clear, reflecting colorful light and shining brightly.
And a city rose up from the ground in one night, and appeared before the people.
Hell?
Providence?
Geng Qing stood in the camp, his eyes wide, barely believing what he was seeing. The city wall, there is actually a city wall...... It would have been nothing if it had been built, but the shock it brought to him from the ground overnight is difficult to express in words. This, could it be that God blesses General Cao?
"Ladies and gentlemen, my general has set up a banquet in the city, and I invite you to go."
Jia Xing's expression was at ease, and he didn't seem surprised.
He led the people forward to greet them and urged them to go into the city to discuss matters.
"Where's Tan-sama?"
"Yes, why don't you see Lord Tanzhe?"
Jia Xing smiled slightly, "Lord Tan entered the city last night to discuss with my son-in-law, and returned to Hongshagang early this morning. ”
"Huh?"
Geng Qingqiunu and the others were shocked!
People say that Cao Peng and Tan Zhe have a close relationship, and when they see it today, it is true.
The two of them actually met in advance, and Tan Zhe didn't wait for the conference to be held, so he left in advance. There are many ways to do this...... At least it shows that Tan Zhe and Cao Peng have reached an agreement, and both parties have obtained enough benefits.
Geng Qing's cheeks twitched, and he said secretly: I'm still one step late!
However, in this way, the impact on the adults of other tribes is obviously huge.
Qianghu was defeated, and Hongze was scattered......
If it is said that the only person who can fight Cao Peng in Hexi is Tan Zhe.
Yesterday, from everyone's attitude, it can be seen that there is a faint meaning headed by Tan Zhe. As long as Tan Zhe can nod and everyone unites, they can bargain with Cao Peng and strive for more benefits. In their hearts, everyone has accepted the fate of the imperial court to recover Hexi, but in their selfish hearts, they still hope to get more benefits and more benefits.
It's best to be able to retain your own autonomy.
Even if you can't keep it, you have to fight for some benefits......
However, Tan Zhe and Cao Peng took the lead in reaching an agreement and withdrew early.
In this way, it is like pulling out the backbone of everyone at once, and many people feel at a loss when they hear the news.
"Old Geng, what should I do?"
Qiu Nu leaned forward and asked softly.
The Lord Hongze has their own circle.
Before, everyone was headed by Qiu Nu. However, with the news of Geng Qing and Cao Peng's close relationship, it also made the Hongze lords begin to value Geng Qing's opinions.
Geng Qing pondered for a long time, and then said softly: "So far, take one step at a time."
We didn't have much contradiction with General Cao, and we fought side by side in Hongshuiji at the beginning. Presumably, General Cao won't be too embarrassed by our people...... After all, we are all Hermes-Epitek, and General Cao will definitely not treat his own people badly. ”
In the past, Hongze people had Hongze, and they were all proud.
Now this red color may no longer be their proud capital, and the Han bloodline that they have almost forgotten has been mentioned by them again.
Qiu Nu and the others nodded lightly, took a deep breath, got on the horse and walked with Jia Xing.
As the walls of the red water camp got closer and closer, the chill that came to everyone's faces made everyone feel a sense of horror.
The walls were made of ice.
It seems not surprising that the northwest is bitterly cold, and there have been drips of water into ice recently.
But the closer they got to the city walls, the more they could feel the pressure that the walls brought to them.
On the city wall, there are soldiers on duty, all of them with bright armor, swords and guns, flashing cold light. Under the city wall, the Han army lined up neatly, and the military appearance was neat. When the adults approached, the awe-inspiring killing intent was terrifying......
"Ladies and gentlemen, please!"
Jia Xingsu gave in with a warm smile on his face.
It's just that in the eyes of everyone, this smile looks so weird...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
