Chapter 344: Self-defeating
"Father, you think that Wei Shuo is alone, without the support of the clan forces, it is inevitable that he will feel weak. But if he is a disciple of the Wei family, it will be different, with the support of the Wei family, he will completely change the unfavorable situation of his clan's weakness. ”
"And my Wei clan can not only take this opportunity to get rid of the current predicament, but also climb to the powerful Zhenbei general in one fell swoop and become a new upstart in Liaodong. In this way, not only can the immediate interests be guaranteed, but perhaps they can also enjoy wealth forever, and they will be on par with the Sima family in Hanoi in the future. ”
Listening to Wei Xuan's words, Wei Kang's eyes lit up, he didn't expect his son to think of such a wonderful way. And the more he pondered, the more he felt that his son's proposal was good.
Since the strong rise of Liaodong, many forces have secretly inquired about Wei Shuo's origin, but they can't find out clearly. It is only known that he suddenly appeared in the Laoshan area of Qingzhou in the fifth year of Yongjia, and there is no way to verify Wei Shuo's previous experience and family background.
And Wei Shuo has always claimed to be from a poor family and his parents died, but the real details have never been disclosed to the public. It's not that the outside world has not suspected that Wei Shuo was from the wealthy Hedong Wei clan, but neither Wei Shuo nor Wei has ever directly admitted it.
After Wei Kang and his son made up their minds, they immediately began to prepare.
It was in this situation that Wei Shuo and his party came to Anyi City.
Anyi was the capital of Xia and Wei in history, and this place was rich in salt, and Hedong Weishi was rich in the world by operating Anyi salt ponds.
The news of the visit of the Zhenbei general Wei Shuo to the Wei family soon spread throughout Hedong, and the Hedong family paid close attention to the trip of the Zhenbei general Wei family, and sent their children to the Wei family to inquire about the news. The Hedong family knows very well that with the recovery of Hedong County in the southeast of Liaodong, whether the Hedong family can compromise and coexist with Wei Shuo depends on the outcome of this trip to Anyi.
"Welcome General Zhenbei to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!" As soon as they met, Wei Kang smiled and gave Wei Shuo a slap in the face.
Wei Shuo was confused, and he couldn't figure out what the Wei family's intention was. He frowned and asked, "Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" What ancestors do you recognize? To what sect? Why can't I figure it out? ”
Seeing Wei Shuo angry, Wei Kang couldn't help but panic, things didn't develop as he expected.
It's just that at this point, I can't hold back anymore, so I can only explain: "According to the old man's access to the family's secret information. General Zhenbei is from my Hedong Wei family, and the general is the same age as the old man, Xuan'er, and he didn't come forward to see his uncle. ”
"Nephew Wei Xuan, meet your uncle!"
Looking at the 'nephew' who was the same size as himself, Wei Shuo was a little dumbfounded, he really underestimated the shamelessness of the family, but he didn't expect that in order to keep the so-called privileged life, the father and son of the Wei family didn't even want the only face.
In fact, Wei Shuo underestimated Wei Kang. Although this person has no great skills, in order to keep his privileges, in his opinion, losing a little face is nothing. If Wei Shuo recognizes this relative, then the Hedong Wei clan will really be developed. Compared to the glorious future, what is it even if it is seen as brazen?
Seeing that Wei Kang's father and son were about to kiss, Wei Shuo hurriedly cleared his eyes and said, "Wait...... I'm not a disciple of the Hedong Wei clan, nor a nephew as big as you. Someone said it again, in the lower Qingzhou people. Born in a poor family, both parents died. There was only one person left in the family, and there were no other relatives at all. ”
"General Zhenbei has been alone for many years, and his parents died early, how can he find out the origin of his family? The old man consulted a large number of secret information of the family before he found out the identity of General Zhenbei. With what I found out from Hedong Wei, there will be no mistake. ”
looked at Wei Kang with a righteous and awe-inspiring face. Wei Shuo was speechless. After a long time, he finally figured out Wei's true purpose, but he couldn't bear it anymore, and directly got up and left angrily, leaving Wei Kang and his son standing in fear.
The Hedong family was staring at Wei Shuo's trip from top to bottom, but no one expected it. Wei Shuo, the general of Zhenbei, only sat on Wei's small house for less than a stick of incense, and then left with his entourage in a rage, leaving only Wei Kang's father and son at a loss.
Seeing this scene, other powerful people such as the Xue clan and the Liu clan strengthened the guard of the dock fort to prevent Wei Shuo from sending iron cavalry to clear it.
"Humph! I didn't expect Hedong Wei's appetite to be so big, and he was delusional about ascending to the sky in one step! ”
Although he was far away from Anyi, Wei Shuo was angry when he remembered what Wei Kang had said. He came to visit the Wei family with good intentions, thinking that he was taking advantage of the weakness of the Wei family to take it for his own use, but he didn't expect that Wei Kang's father and son were ambitious, and they wanted to persuade him to join the Hedong Wei family.
Wei Kang's father and son have any idea, Wei Shuo knows it. On the surface, it was for his consideration, and he said that he wanted to strengthen the clan forces behind Wei Shuo, but his real purpose was just to keep the family privileges.
Wei Shuo admitted that he was from the Wei clan in Hedong, and although he strengthened his clan power, it also gave him more family bonds. If his body is not right, how can he be a righteous person? If we give preferential treatment to Webster because of this, we will not imagine implementing various policies as we did before.
It was Wei Shuo who saw through Wei's plan at a glance, so he did not hesitate to reject Wei Kang's suggestion, and left Wei's in anger.
Du Qun, one of the entourage, was a little worried about the family's reaction, and couldn't help but be worried: "Lord, if we leave like this, will we startle the snake?" In case the Hedong family unites against my Liaodong, not to mention delaying the construction of the Pujin Bridge, I am afraid that I will be taken by Shile, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”
"What Zhong Zhi said is not unreasonable, but at that time, he had no choice but to leave angrily, otherwise he couldn't let Wei Kang's father and son blackmail, right?"
Yes, it's blackmail! Chiguoguo's blackmail!
In Wei Shuo's view, Wei Kang's proposal is Chi Guoguo's blackmail, and he will never accept such a suggestion with endless troubles.
"It's just that the lord has left in style, how to deal with it if it causes a backlash from the Hedong family? The east of the river is full of dock forts, the heroes are all over the wilderness, and the parts of each family are added together, and there are tens of thousands. Moreover, some families have been fighting with Hu Lu for many years, and their troops are brave and good at fighting our Liaodong Army, if they are forcibly eradicated, I am afraid that it is no less than an action to destroy the Xiongnu and Han States. ”
"The matter has come to this point, there is no return, I still don't believe that the powerful troops can be the opponent of my Liaodong Iron Army?"
Du Qun's words immediately made Wei Shuo annoyed, but unfortunately the matter was irreparable, and it was useless for him to regret it.
In order to integrate the Hedong family, I am afraid that strong measures need to be used. However, Wei Shuo didn't know that today's decision made the Liaodong Army, which had always been invincible, suffer its first major defeat since the formation of the army.
As soon as the Liaodong Army was mentioned, Du Qun suddenly put his mind at ease, as a native of Liaodong officials, they all watched the Liaodong Army become stronger step by step, and now it has become one of the strongest troops in the world. In his opinion, there is no enemy in this world that the Liaodong Army cannot deal with.
"That's right, the Liaodong Army is invincible, and it's just a piece of cake to deal with the general heroes. Besides, the dock forts in Liaodong have become the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the new policy, so it is better to take this opportunity to cut off the dock forts in Hedong in one fell swoop. ”
Wei Shuo was thoughtful when he heard this, and immediately ordered the Liaodong Mansion soldiers to be stationed in Hedong to exterminate the Haoqiang Wubao in various places.
A few days later, the Liaodong army marched south, uprooting countless Wubao barriers along the way, killing dozens of Haoqiang, landlords, and families, and seizing countless troops, grain, and armor.
Wei Shuo, who returned to Yangqu, learned that the armies from all walks of life were progressing smoothly, and the powerful people in various places bowed down one after another, and couldn't help but be proud of the combat strength of the Liaodong Army. It's a pity that he was happy too early, and it didn't take long for the news that the Liaodong Army of Fenyin was defeated by the Xue clan.
Because of the important geographical location of Hedong, and because of the many families, the heroes and the people, they are often harassed by Hulu and bandits. In order to protect themselves, the local heroes have formed villages to defend themselves, making the east of the river full of dock forts. Moreover, because of the frequent wars and turmoil, the combat power of some powerful troops is not inferior to that of the Liaodong Army.
It's just that Wei Shuo doesn't know these inside information, or even if he does, maybe he won't take it to heart. In fact, even Wei Shuo himself didn't find out that the Liaodong Army's successive battles and victories actually made him swell. Fortunately, it was just a small heel planted on Haoqiang, and the loss was not too great, if it was really at the hands of Shi Le, it would never be as easy as today. (To be continued.) )
