Chapter 516: The Hexi Family's Choice
Since the entry of the Liaodong Army, the children of the families who could be seen everywhere on the streets in the past have been detained at home by their respective elders, and the city of Guzang has suddenly become much more deserted than before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the evening, as soon as Song Pei returned to the house after dealing with Beigong Chun, he saw the housekeeper constantly looking at the door. As soon as he saw his figure, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps to meet him.
"Ouch, sir, you're back."
Song Pei's eyes narrowed, and he shot out a fine light and asked, "Huh?" What's wrong? Is there something wrong? ”
"Yin Sima and Suo joined the army to visit, and they have been waiting for the master in the house for a long time." The housekeeper said urgently.
"Yin and Suo, the two heads of the family, are here? Let the tea be served first, and I will go to change my clothes first, and then I will come. ”
Song Pei learned that Yin Yuan and Suo Fu were visiting, and it was expected that the two must be looking for him for Liaodong, and it happened that he also had something to discuss with the two family heads. He then instructed the butler to go and entertain the guests first, while he hurried to the backyard to bathe and change clothes.
It is said that the Yin, Suo, Song, and Bian families are the leading and powerful families in Hexi, and at present, in addition to the slight decline due to the accidental death of Bianyu, the remaining three families have great influence in Liangzhou.
In fact, even if Zhang Mao went to Liaodong, as long as the four major families did not nod, Liaodong would still not be able to master Liangzhou.
Today's visit by Yin Yuan and Suo Fu is because Beigong Chun has frequently forced the major families to express their positions recently, and they all obviously feel that Liaodong's patience is disappearing. Worried that Liaodong would take sudden measures, the two had to consult with Song Pei about countermeasures.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the two virtuous brothers to come, it really made the humble house shine."
Just when Yin Yuan and Suo Fu were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea in boredom, they suddenly heard a hearty laugh from behind the screen, and when they looked up, they saw Song Pei walking out.
"Brother Zhongye, are you here? I've been waiting for a long time. Yin Yuan and Suo Fu hurriedly got up and saluted.
"No need to be polite, let the two virtuous brothers wait for a long time." Song Pei, Yin and Suo were polite before they walked to the main position and did a good job.
Yin Yuan arched his hand at Song Pei and sighed: "Brother Zhongye, now Liaodong is becoming more and more aggressive, if I wait for the family to remain silent again, it will make Liaodong think that I am a good bully, and I will definitely put forward more harsh conditions in the future negotiations." ”
In the face of Yin Yuan's alarmism, Song Pei said indifferently: "Is Brother Xian too pessimistic? ”
"Brother Zhongye, it's not that we are pessimistic, but that the persecution in Liaodong is getting worse and worse. Not only did the family be required to hand over all the land and tribes, but also the silk trade, on which the family depended, was handed over to Liaodong to be in charge. This is to dig up the roots of my Hexi family, why is the Hexi family rich? Isn't it because of the silk trade? If they are all handed over to Liaodong to be responsible, won't we let us drink the northwest wind? ”
"Then what should I do according to the opinion of the two virtuous brothers?" Song Pei asked after a moment of silence.
"It's better to leave Guzang and return to Dunhuang, Dunhuang is the place where we are rooted, and the family tribes are all there. No matter how strong the Liaodong Army is, it is impossible to reach Dunhuang in a short period of time, and we can also think about it in the long run. ”
"Think long-term? A certain Kaner wants to divide Dunhuang. Song Pei's tone was flat, so that outsiders could not hear that he was against or in agreement.
Seeing through Song Pei's thoughts, Suo Fu showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said with a smile: "It's also for everyone?" ”
"Yin Sima, what do you think? Same as Suo joining the army? I don't know what your brother Yin Yu Taishou thinks? ”
Hearing this, Yin Yuan hurriedly got up and replied: "Brother let me listen to all Changshi's orders, my brother has always thought that Changshi is the wisest person in Liangzhou, and only by following Changshi will he not suffer." ”
"If I tell you that my Song family has planned to accept Liaodong's conditions in its entirety, what do you think?"
"Huh? What the? This...... When, why is that?! Yin Yuan was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Originally, I was going to visit you, but I didn't expect that the two virtuous brothers took the initiative to come to the door today, which happened to save some trouble. Without hiding from the two family heads, the Song family has decided to follow the Zhang family to join Liaodong. ”
"Why did Duke Song give up the Hexi family?" Yin Yuan and Suo Fu were puzzled.
"It's not why, but whether you have the confidence to deal with Liaodong!" Song Pei said with a solemn face: "Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, my Hexi family has dominated Liangzhou, and even the ability of Wu Mugong cannot be shaken in the slightest. However, although all this has brought us huge benefits, it has also made the families develop a domineering style. ”
"In the eyes of the family, there seems to be nothing that cannot be solved, and even in this negotiation with Liaodong, you and others did not take Liaodong in their eyes at all. Here, I have to say that I underestimated your greed. Do you know who you're fighting against? That is the biggest force in the world, Liaodong, and it is also the most promising to dominate the world in the future. ”
"Aren't the Huns strong? The result? It's not Liaodong extermination? Do you also want to be exterminated? ”
After listening to Song Pei's words, Yin Yuan and Suo Fu had ugly faces, they came to Song Pei today to pull the Song family to seize Dunhuang together, but they unexpectedly learned that the Song family was going to take refuge in Liaodong.
……
"I really didn't expect that Song Pei, who is known as the first wise man in Liangzhou, would be so timid?"
As soon as he left the Song Mansion, Suo Fu couldn't help but complain to Yin Yuan. Yin Yuan was also disappointed in Song Pei's choice, originally Yin Tang did let him follow Song Pei to keep in line, but Yin Yuan was bewitched by Suo Fu and was keen to divide Dunhuang.
"Alas, it's a pity, without the support of the Song family, the strength of the Hexi family has been weakened a lot."
"Brother Yin is too worried, Hexi is not only the Song family, is it possible that without him Song Pei, I can't deal with Liaodong?"
Unlike Suo Fu, who was quite angry, Yin Yuan was still a little worried that the Song family's defection to Liaodong would trigger a chain reaction, he was very aware of the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, today the Song family took refuge in Liaodong, and tomorrow there will be other families in the arms of Liaodong.
Yin Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother Suo, you underestimate Song Pei's influence in Liangzhou, unless Wu Mugong is resurrected, no one can overpower Song Pei." Once the news of the Song family's defection to Liaodong came out, many families would definitely follow suit. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that without Liaodong doing it himself, the Hexi family will collapse first. ”
"Brother Yin, is it that serious? Even if Song Pei is the first wise man in Hexi, it is impossible to respond to every call, right? Don't say it's Song Pei, even Wu Mugong can't do it" Suo Fu scoffed at Yin Yuan's words.
"Brother Yin, you...... Alas, forget it, don't fight for these now, let's return to Dunhuang as soon as possible. ”
Yin Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of regret when he saw Suo Fuman's indifferent appearance, and felt that he shouldn't hide his brother from getting too close to the Suo family.
……
"Yin and Suo have both left?"
"Back to the capital, early this morning, the two families went all the way to the northwest after leaving Guzang on the grounds of going out of the city to play, and it seems that they are going in the direction of Dunhuang."
"Well, that's good!" Beigong Chun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and his expression was a little excited.
"Dudu, the Yin and Suo families obviously have bad intentions towards us in Liaodong, why did you let them go?"
"This is called luring the snake out of the hole, and at the moment there is no difference between friend and foe in Liangzhou, and even many people who behave deferentially are likely to secretly hate us. If we can't remove these hidden dangers as soon as possible, when will the tasks assigned to us by Da Sima be completed? ”
"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that the family didn't know what to do, maybe my Liaodong Army would have been in the Western Regions at this time. ”
"Now that the opportunity has come, the Suo and Yin families will definitely raise troops to rebel when they return to Dunhuang, and then it will be clear who is the enemy of Liaodong and who is the friend of Liaodong. When this garbage was swept away by thunder, it was when the Liaodong army approached the Western Regions. ”
……
"The head of the family, the Yin and Suo families have returned to Dunhuang."
"Alas, the lust for profit is consumed!"
Song Pei sighed and felt sorry when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the Yin Suo family still embarked on the road of armed confrontation against Liaodong. Don't they have to think about it, if Liaodong is so easy to deal with, it is impossible to have today's foundation.
Da Sima is full of talents, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as soldiers like clouds and ministers like rain. Take the new Liangzhou Assassin Shi Gaoxu, who is on the way to Guzang, for example, this person was once promoted to the grassroots level by the great Sima, and then he was prosperous and went all the way up.
Every time he encounters a complicated situation, Da Sima will always let Gao Xu come out. This time he came to Liangzhou, obviously to rectify the local chaos. Suo and Yin are so good that they don't die and hit the muzzle, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future. It's just a pity that the two families of Yin Suo are already lustful for profit, where can they listen to the slightest persuasion? (To be continued.) )
