"Li Tingshi, please take a seat!"

As one of the separatist forces in the world, Wei Shuo is not a stranger to Li Ju, knowing that he was born in Jiangxia Li and is a famous calligraphy family, and his wife is a famous calligrapher in history - Mrs. Wei Shuowei.

Li Ju is brave and resolute, strategic, and ambitious. At first, he was a small official in the county, and later escorted the county commander to Guanzhong, where he was appreciated by Sima Tong, the king of Liang, and was appointed as the goalkeeper. Since then, he has been gradually promoted to the rank of official fortune, and now he is the official to the general of Anxi, the assassin of Sizhou, and the military of the three counties of Henan.

"Li Jianshi has been guarding Henan for many years, and he has defeated Liu Cong and Shi Le several times, which can be described as a great achievement!"

"Hehe, General Wei is polite, how dare the subordinate show off his little merit in front of the general?"

Li Ju was very polite in front of Wei Shuo, although he was the same Jin official as Wei Shuo, he was still afraid of Liaodong's strong strength. He was originally from a family, so he naturally had no good impression of the various policies implemented in Liaodong, and if it weren't for the situation, Li Ju might not want to deal with Liaodong.

"Li Zhijun is too modest, the reason why the Liaodong Army successfully destroyed the Xiongnu and Han States this time is thanks to the Sizhou Army strictly guarding the line of the Yellow River and preventing the Huns from fleeing south."

Li Ju said disapprerovingly: "As an official of the Jin family, this official's duty should be like this!" ”

"Anyway, Li Tingshi has done me a great favor in Liaodong, but in the future, if I have a please, I Liaodong will definitely go all out."

Hearing this, Li Ju was overjoyed, although he didn't like Wei Shuo's words and deeds very much, but he would not abolish the public for personal reasons. This time he went north to Jinyang, and most of his eyes were to promote an alliance with Liaodong. With Liaodong's help, he will have a little more confidence to compete with Shile in the future.

"I am so grateful, General Wei doesn't know that Shi Le has become more and more powerful recently. Relying on Sizhou alone, the official is really not sure to repel the attackers. Now that General Wei is helping him, what is Shi Le afraid of? ”

Wei Shuo noticed Guo Yu who was following Li Ju early, and took advantage of the gap between the two of them to talk, he pretended to be casual and asked, "I don't know where this young handsome man next to Li Tingshi is?" ”

Originally, as Li Ju's junior, Guo Yu was not qualified to interject when Wei and Li spoke.

At that moment, Wei Shuo took the initiative to ask. He hurriedly got up and arched his hand and said: "General Huizhenbei, in Xia Guo Chan, is the nephew of Li Tingshi, and he is added as the commander of Yangzhai County." ”

"It turns out that you are the well-known resourceful and decisive Guo Yu Guo Shuzhi, I heard early in the morning that Li Tingshi has a nephew, who is a young talent, and today is really worthy of his reputation."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Wei Shuo's eyes, as far as he knew, Guo Yu was a figure from the end of the Western Jin Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Battle of Luokou commanded by him was a famous example of winning more with less in the late Jin Dynasty, and the official residence of General Yangwu, the commander of Yangzhai County, and Li Ju were stationed in Xingyang for a long time, which was an important feudal town in the north of the Jin Dynasty.

"The general has an overreputation, and he is ashamed to be ashamed." Guo Yu was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said modestly with a red cheek.

"Hehe, deserve it, and now there are fewer and fewer young talents like Shuzhi."

Just when Wei Shuo entertained Sizhou Assassin Shi Li Ju. saw Feng Yi hurriedly walk in, "Lord." The messenger of Tuoba Yulu has arrived. ”

Seeing that Tuoba envoy asked to see Wei Shuo, Li Ju realized that there must be important matters to negotiate between Liaodong and Tuoba Xianbei, and his goal had been achieved, so he took the initiative to leave.

"I'm really sorry, I'll wait for Li Tingshi, and I'll have someone select three thousand war horses from the spoils of war to send to Your Excellency later. This is to express Wei's apology. ”

"Really? That's really thanks to General Wei, our state army has always lacked war horses, and when facing Hu Cai, we have no choice but to fight with infantry, and in this way, the Sizhou army often has a lot of casualties. Now with these 3,000 war horses, our state can form cavalry. ”

Li Ju was very grateful to Wei Shuo for giving him 3,000 war horses. Sizhou is located in the Central Plains, and it has always been difficult to replenish war horses. He didn't expect that Jin Yang and his party would get 3,000 war horses for nothing.

Looking at the backs of Li Ju and Guo Yu leaving, Feng Yi asked in surprise: "Why is the lord so generous to Li Tingshi?" ”

Wei Shuo sighed and said: "Zizhuan doesn't know, Li Ju is entrenched in several counties in Henan, and he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and if he is friendly with him, he can threaten Shile from the west, and then unite with Qingzhou Cao Wei, Xuzhou Zu Li, Yuzhou Zu Yue, and Jizhou Shao Xu in the future, and Shi Le can be firmly surrounded on both sides of the Yellow River." ”

Moreover, the battle of Bingzhou made the Liaodong Army powerful all over the world, but it also aroused vigilance from all sides. In order to alleviate external pressures, it is necessary to make more friends. ”

Feng Yi was thoughtful when he heard this, he didn't think deeply at first, but now after Wei Shuo's reminder, he suddenly remembered. Don't look at the majestic majesty of the Liaodong army's strong destruction of the Huns, but Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest wind, and the strength of Liaodong has gradually aroused hostility from all sides. Take the history of Li Tingshi just now, he must also be vigilant in his heart.

"The more this time, the more cautious Liaodong must be. Let's go, go and meet the Tuoba messenger. ”

Wei Shuo is not untargeted, there are many people he has offended, and there are not a few people who want him to die. And the more powerful Liaodong is, the more it will arouse the fear of the outside world, and if it unites to deal with Liaodong under the influence of people with intentions, it will definitely disrupt Liaodong's plan to recuperate.

Let's not talk about other issues, just naturalizing two million Huns, Qiang, and Hu people of all ethnic groups is enough for Liaodong to be busy for a while. Breaking through Pingyang and disposing of Liu Cong does not mean the end, on the contrary, how to completely and completely digest the two million Hu people in the next step is the real difficulty.

In order to tame the Hu captives, Wei Shuo, together with Pei Wei, Wen Qiao and others, formulated relevant rules and regulations for rewards and punishments.

At the same time, we will formulate rules to severely punish lazy people, both hands must be caught, both hands must be hard, as long as a certain amount of time is given, Wei Shuo is confident that all the two million Hu Lu will be turned into summer.

At this time, the Tuoba envoy was anxiously waiting for the general of Zhenbei to receive him, and as soon as he entered Jinyang, he knew the course of the battle of Bingzhou, and was shocked by the strong combat power of the Liaodong army. He had a secret mission to repair Liaodong, for fear that the Liaodong Army would take advantage of the victory and put forward harsh conditions.

In fact, the outcome of the Battle of Bingzhou had the greatest impact on Tuoba Xianbei, although the Tuoba tribe had been reunited, its strength was reduced by more than half compared to the Tuoba Yilu era, on the contrary, the Tuoba tribe faced far stronger enemies than before.

"See General Zhenbei."

"I wonder what the messenger is doing here?"

"On the orders of my family's Da Dan Yu, I have come to express my deference and surrender to Liaodong!"

"Oh? Tuoba Yulu has thought it through? Do you really want to surrender to me Liaodong? ”

"Yes, before I came, my family repeatedly told me that as long as General Zhenbei is willing to conclude a friendly alliance with the Tuoba tribe, the general can put forward any conditions."

"Really?"

Wei Shuo chuckled a few times, looked the Tuoba envoy up and down with playful eyes, and said unhurriedly until he saw that the other party was a little hairy: "I heard that the Tuoba tribe produces hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock every year, and I don't know if I am willing to sacrifice 10,000 heads to my Liaodong." ”

"Huh? This...... This ......" the messenger was startled by the opening of the lion of Weishuo.

"What? The Tuoba tribe is unwilling? In this case, why did you want Liaodong to give up avenging the king of Wuyuan County, but instead make an alliance with you? ”

"No, no, the Tuoba tribe is very sincere to reconcile with Liaodong, please don't misunderstand General Zhenbei!"

"Misunderstanding? The Tuoba tribe is unwilling to sacrifice even a little livestock, and they want me to stop pursuing your offense out of thin air, do you think Liaodong is easy to bully? ”

"The king of Wuyuan County was originally a king with a different surname canonized by the Jin family, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by the barbarians such as Er, and Shuo has already asked the Son of Heaven to send troops to fight."

The Tuoba envoy was frightened by Wei Shuo's face pale, he didn't dare to imagine the scene of the Liaodong army going north, with the current strength of the Tuoba tribe, he was not an opponent of Liaodong at all, so he had to agree to the conditions proposed by Liaodong.

"Please be gracious to the general, the Tuoba tribe is willing to donate 10,000 cattle, sheep and horses to Liaodong every year!"

"Well, that's pretty much it. Remember to go back and tell your family that no less than 5,000 cows and horses should be sacrificed. ”

Seeing that the Tuoba envoy agreed, Wei Shuo quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "Huh~ The war horse just sent has finally earned it back, and it is finally not a loss." (To be continued.) )
