Chapter 234: Mo Han's Great Gift
That night, Tuoba Liuxiu was dissatisfied with Tuoba Yilu's abolition of Changli You, so he led his troops to launch a rebellion, killing Dadan Yu Tuoba Yilu, his younger brother Tuoba Biyan, and a large number of tribal nobles, elders, and leaders, and controlled Shengle City, the northern capital of the Tuoba tribe.
Under the deliberate provocation of Liaodong, Tuoba Rulu was hung up more than a year earlier than the original history. With the outbreak of civil strife among the Tuoba tribes, some Jin and Karasuma people who were originally attached to the Tuoba tribe left Shengle one after another for fear of harming the pond fish, in an attempt to avoid this political storm.
In this flow of people fleeing from Shengle, the Jin forces led by Wei Xiong and Ji Tang are the most eye-catching. If there is no other reason, Wei and Ji will go south to Yangqu to join Liu Kun as they did in history, and then they will follow Liu Kun to fight in all directions. In the end, because Liu Kun did not listen to Wei Xiong's good words, he was defeated by Shi Le, and Wei Xiong lost his life.
When the civil strife broke out, as the representative of Bingzhou in Shengle, Mo Han immediately left the chaotic Shengle City with Liu Kun's eldest son, Liu Zun, who was a hostage in the Tuoba tribe.
Mo Han knew that civil strife was breaking out in the Tuoba tribe, and there were rebellious soldiers everywhere outside. If he takes the eldest prince south like this, he may be killed by the rebels halfway. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Mo Han and Liu Zun found Wei Xiong, who also planned to evacuate Shengle, and asked to leave with them.
Wei Xiong and Ji Tang are having plans to go south and merge with the state, and now they are naturally welcome to see Mo Han and Liu Zun coming to vote. It's a pity that Wei and Ji didn't know that Mo Han had already saved his mind about Dongtou Youzhou, and he also planned to take Wei and Ji as a gift.
Wei Xiong and Ji Tang are not weak, in addition to the 10,000 parts directly under the command of the two people, there are more than 300 Karasuma people around them, and there are about 100,000 people who have evacuated Shengle with them.
The movement of 100,000 people was naturally not small, and it also alarmed Tuoba Liuxiu, who was busy receiving Shengle, but Tuoba Liuxiu did not send anyone to stop them. even made it convenient for Wei and Ji.
Tuoba Liuxiu naturally made sense to do this: first, Tuoba Liuxiu focused on winning the support of tribal elders, and did not take Wei and Ji in their eyes; Second, Tuoba Liuxiu knew that Liu Zun was also among them, and he didn't want to turn his face with Liu Kun for the time being, and he still needed Liu Kun to help him win the canonization of the Jin family in the future.
In this way, 100,000 Jin people left Shengle smoothly. Heading southeast, we soon reached the foot of the Great Wall.
"General Wei, in front of the Great Wall is Shenhe, ten miles to the north is the former former Han Yanmen County Western Governor's hometown, and now it is the territory of Tuoba Xianbei. Our dynasty was unable to restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, so we had to move Yanmen County to the southern part of Han Yanmen County for resettlement. The great rivers and mountains have been invaded by Hulu, which is very regrettable! ”
Mo Han accompanied Wei Xiong and Ji Tang to stand on the Great Wall, pointing to the Shenhe Trail in front of them and sighing with emotion.
Wei Xiong had a serious face, standing on the Great Wall and looking at the endless grasslands in the east. Suddenly asked, "Mr. Mo, do you think there is still a chance to return to your hometown of Dai County?" ”
After leaving Shengle, although Wei Xiong had planned to go south to join Liu Kun, he couldn't help but worry about his future when he thought of Liu Kun's precarious situation. According to the development plan formulated by Wei Cao, the head of the previous generation of the family, for the Wei family, the Dai County Wei family originally wanted to rely on Tuoba Xianbei to preserve the clan and let the family take the opportunity to prosper.
Unexpectedly, a sudden civil strife completely disrupted all the plans of the former Wei family. And judging from the current situation, the civil strife in Tuoba will continue for a long time. Tuoba Liuxiu and Tuoba Pugen will definitely break the blood flow for Da Danyu's position.
Wei Xiong naturally didn't want the family to lose anything in the civil strife in Tuoba, so he and Ji Tang chose to run south and merge with the state. The choice of Liu Kun is not that Wei Xiong is optimistic about the other party. It's because Liu Kun is the only choice for the Wei family at present.
"Hehe, it's not impossible for the general to return to his hometown, it depends on whether the general is willing or not!"
"Huh?" Wei Xiong's heart moved, looked at Mo Han who was smiling in front of him, and said quietly: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Mo Han did not directly answer Wei Xiong's question, but asked the other party: "Does the general know Mo's situation in the Liu Bingzhou shogunate?" ”
"Know a little bit about it!"
Wei Xiong nodded. He followed Tuoba Yilu to the south many times to support Liu Kun, and also stationed in Jinyang with Ji Tang for a period of time, so he was very familiar with the civil and military affairs of Bingzhou, and naturally knew Mo Han's embarrassing position in Liu Kun's mansion.
"It's just an inconspicuous engagement under Liu Bingzhou, if it weren't for Mo's personal relationship with Tuoba Yi Lu Dadan. If you think that Liu Bingzhou is arrogant, he won't send me to sit in Shengle. Although Liu Bingzhou looks down on the businessman who was born in Xia, and does not want to reuse it for me, he has been doing his best to do things for Bingzhou all these years, and there has never been a trace of perfunctory. ”
"I don't have a lower background, but when it comes to the true ability to govern the country and the country, except for Wen Taizhen, who can compete with Han Yi, who is the rest of the people who deserve to be compared with me?"
Looking at Mo Han, who was talking wildly, Wei Xiong knew that he was not talking nonsense. Mo Han's ability has been praised by Dadan Yu Tuoba Yilu, who often compares it to the deceased Wei Cao. As Wei Cao's nephew, Wei Xiong didn't know how powerful his uncle was, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the first hero to help the Tuoba tribe rise again.
"General Wei, do you know why Zai Xia has refused Tuoba Yilu's invitation many times?"
After venting the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, Mo Han's face finally returned to normal, he didn't wait for Wei Xiong to answer, and asked himself: "If you are not desperate, who is willing to be a scholar who forgets his ancestors and serves the generation of Yidi?" Do you say it's General Wei? ”
"Ahem, yes, ahem, that's exactly what happened!" Wei Xiong echoed with some embarrassment.
"General Wei, I didn't mean to mock the ancestors of the Wei family, General Wei's uncle was ordered by the imperial court to pacify the Tuoba tribe, and later the imperial court itself was not angry, and a rebellion of the eight kings lost the foundation laid by the general Wei Qian in the northern Xinjiang of the expedition to the north."
Wei Xiong's uncle, Wei Cao, was sent to the Tuoba tribe by the imperial court along with some other Jin people after the death of Tuoba Liwei. Wei Cao and others were all officials of the Jin Dynasty, and they not only served as auxiliary ministers of the Tuoba Department, but also managed the affairs of the grassland as officials of the Jin Dynasty, which shows that the Tuoba tribe was still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court at that time.
What does Mr. Mo mean by this? might as well say it directly, if it makes sense, Brother Ji and I will definitely listen. ”
Wei Xiong asked with a little impatience, he was surrounded by Mo Han three times and twice, he was already dizzy, and he couldn't guess what Mo Han's true intentions were.
"In fact, I just want to tell the general that neither Xianbei nor Liu Kun is suitable for the general to take refuge! Not to mention that civil strife is breaking out among the Xianbei people, and this civil strife will not subside in a short time. ”
"In fact, even if the Xianbei people do not break out into civil strife, their rule in the Northland will not last long, because there is a powerful force rising in Youzhou. It won't be long before they sweep through Daijun and rehabilitate the Xianbei people to the north of the Great Wall. ”
"Youzhou Weishuo?"
Wei Xiong suddenly guessed who Mo Han was talking about, but he was a little skeptical that Wei Shuo was really as powerful as the other party said.
"That's right, it's Lord Wei! Maybe the general was suspicious of him, but if he told the general that the civil strife of the Tuoba tribe was provoked by him, I wonder how the general would feel? ”
"What!?"
Wei Xiong's face was shocked, he didn't expect that the Tuoba civil strife would be implicated in Youzhou, who would have thought that Youzhou, who had vowed to establish friendly relations with the Tuoba tribe before, was planning the Tuoba tribe behind his back.
"This ...... Why is that? "Wei Xiong and Ji Tang couldn't understand why Youzhou was going to die and Tuoba tribe.
"Humph! Why else?! Naturally, in order to drive away Hulu as soon as possible and recover the rivers and mountains! Lord Wei had long wanted to open up the passage between the secluded and the annex, so as to support the state and Liu Cong to deal with it, but the Dai County has been occupied by Tuoba Xianbei, and the Tuoba tribe is not in civil strife, how can Lord Wei have a chance to recover the Dai County? ”
Knowing Wei Shuo's secret plan, Wei Xiong and Ji Yu were completely shocked. They didn't expect that Youzhou, which seemed harmless to humans and animals, turned out to be a man-devouring tiger. Now looking back and thinking about Han Shou's performance in Shengle at the beginning, some incomprehensible actions in the past suddenly became clear. (To be continued.) )
