Chapter 47: The Yanmen Affair 16
"Master Shi, you see how this matter should be resolved." After Feng Laohu pulled Shi Lei to a remote place, he said in a low voice.
"Oh, what advice does Lord Feng have?" Although Shi Lei had already seen the small thoughts in Feng Laohu's heart, he still asked.
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Feng Laohu touched his head and said with some hesitation, "Lord Shi, you see, now they have been trapped by us, if we really kill them all, it will inevitably make people feel bad, and when the time comes, it will be bad for us to leave a name for killing." ”
"Could it be that Lord Feng is going to release them, don't forget, he was going to attack Yanmen Pass before, if you let them go like this, what will your subordinates and the people think." Shi Lei said.
"Of course we can't just put them back in vain, you also heard what Su Ritu said just now, as long as we release those people, they are willing to pay any price, so we must knock them hard, at least let them give us all the horses, cattle and sheep they have accumulated over the years.
At that time, even if we let them go back, there is not enough food, in the cold winter, at least more than half of them will starve to death, at that time, I see how they will attack my Yanmen Pass. Feng Laohu, who had already planned it in his heart, said.
After listening to Feng Laohu's plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, Shi Lei couldn't help but gasp all the time, and changed his opinion on Feng Laohu in his heart, originally thought that this person was vulgar and ignorant, but he didn't expect him to be so shrewd and vicious.
Although Feng Laohu's plan is very good, Shi Lei does not agree in his heart, you must know that if the eight thousand soldiers of the Su and Anhui Ministries are put back now, they can indeed get ready-made benefits, and then they can also make the Su and Anhui Ministries suffer a big loss, but what is the use, the benefits are only temporary, if nothing else, after the Manchu Qing enters the customs next year, the entire north will be Manchu, what is the use of more benefits.
As for Su Wanbu's plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, Shi Lei felt even more wrong, even if Su Wanbu would lose a large number of people this winter because of the lack of food, as long as Su Wanbu could survive, then Su Wanbu would regard them as mortal enemies, and they would be in trouble in the days to come.
Fortunately, before making the plan, Shi Lei had already thought about this situation, and now he finally made a decision.
"Lord Feng, I feel that this is a good opportunity to rein in the Su and Anhui Ministries, and now the elites of the Su and Anhui Ministries are in our hands, as long as we can subdue them, then the entire Su and Anhui Ministries will be ours." Shi Lei said like Feng Laohu.
"Hey, Lord Shi, didn't I just say it, we Yanmen Pass soldiers are outnumbered, and we can't accommodate so many people at all, if we reluctantly act, maybe we will be very passive." Seeing that Shi Lei was still bent on gathering tens of thousands of people in Su Wan, Feng Laohu suddenly said anxiously.
"Hahaha, Lord Feng, don't worry, listen to what I say, in fact, I understand what Lord Feng means, that is, I just want to make a handful, and I don't want to cause any trouble, but my situation is different from yours, so if you want, you will hand over all the people in Su Wan to me to deal with, and as for other things in Su Wan Ministry, it will all belong to you, what do you think." Shi Lei said with a smile.
As soon as Shi Lei's words were finished, Feng Laohu was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Shi Lei actually meant such a thing, not things, but people, and they were all suspicious Mongolians, but when he thought that this matter was arranged and planned by Shi Lei from beginning to end, and the people were also trapped by him, and he also promised to give most of the benefits to himself, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of anything bad, and finally made up his mind to say
"Okay, since Lord Shi is so happy, then if I don't want to, just do what you say, you take all the people away, I just need things."
"Thank you, Lord Feng, but I still have one request." Seeing that Feng Laohu agreed, Shi Lei hurriedly said.
"Master Shi has something to say, as long as I, Feng Laohu, can do it, it is absolutely incumbent." Feng Laohu patted his chest and said.
"Thank you, Lord Feng, in fact, it's nothing, it's just these eight thousand soldiers of the Su Wan Department, I can only take a thousand people this time, and the rest will have to trouble Lord Feng to help me take care of it temporarily, and the tribes outside his city, I also hope that Lord Feng can take care of it more, of course, I won't let Lord Feng help in vain, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay Lord Feng." Shi Lei said.
"Ah, hmm" Feng Laohu didn't expect that Shi Lei would actually give him such a problem, he originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of what he said just now, he still nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, for the sake of Lord Shi saving the people of Yanmen Pass this time, I will do my best." ”
"Su Ritu, I heard that you have been the patriarch of the Su Wan Department for more than 30 years, and you should be fifty years old this year! This is considered longevity on the grassland. After discussing the plan with Feng Laohu, Shi Lei walked back to Su Ritu and asked.
"Yes, I am fifty-four years old this year, and I have wanted to make the Su Wan tribe strong all my life, but I didn't expect that the person who really made the Su Wan tribe brave was me, and it seems that Changsheng Tian really gave up on us." Hearing Shi Lei's question, Su Ritu sighed a little distractedly.
"I don't know if Changshengtian has given up on you, but I know that Su Wanbu will not necessarily disappear, and maybe maybe the moment when Su Wanbu will really rise is coming." Shi Lei said excitedly.
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Su Ritu suddenly heard a different meaning from it, and immediately asked anxiously, "Ah, are you going to let us go, in this case, I am here to thank the adults for their kindness on behalf of more than 30,000 people in the tribe, and when I go back, I will definitely send all the best things in the clan to the adults." ”
"Hahaha, thank you for it, I'm really going to let you go back, but I don't think you're suitable to continue to be the patriarch, after all, you're old, it's better to have a good rest." Shi Lei said with a smile.
"Ah, yes, thank you for your kindness, I also think I'm a little old, and many times I can't handle affairs, and when I go back, I will definitely choose a young and strong person to serve as the patriarch, and I will be able to rest then." Hearing Shi Lei's words, although Su Ritu didn't know what he meant, he had a sense of crisis in his heart.
Seeing Su Ritu's intentions, Shi Lei didn't break it, but continued, "Hey, why wait until I go back, you see there is one here, that is, a person who is clever and good at handling affairs, and the most important thing is the relatives of the patriarch, I think he is very good, he is completely capable of serving as the patriarch, I don't know what the patriarch thinks." ”
Shi Lei was talking about Gru, who had been standing next to him carefully, and Gru was stunned when he heard Shi Lei's words, he couldn't have imagined that Shi Lei actually wanted him to take over as the patriarch of the Suwan tribe.
"Ah, he, Gru, but" For Gru, Su Ritu's mood is very complicated, originally he liked this smart, studious and very scheming son very much, but he didn't expect that it was his son who made his last fight in his life a complete failure, not only that, but now even whether Su Wanbu can continue to exist is also between the two.
The expression on his face kept changing, and after a few struggles, Su Ritu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I accept the suggestion of the adult, as long as the adult can release our Su Wan tribe, then Gru will be the patriarch of our Su Wan tribe from now on." ”
As soon as Su Ritu's words were finished, he himself hung his head deeply, and Shi Lei also nodded with satisfaction, only Gru, after hearing that he became the patriarch of the Su and Anhui tribes, his mouth was not closed, although, in the Su and Anhui tribes, he was very much loved by Abu Su Ritu, but he had no rights, because he had been weak since he was a child, let alone riding a horse to fight, even if he ran a few more miles, he would not be able to stand it.
And his eldest brother is different, he is as strong as a bull, his martial arts and riding skills are the top in the tribe, and with the powerful power of his mother's family, more and more tribal elders are optimistic about him and regard him as a candidate for the future patriarch.
Originally, Gru, who had always thought that he had nothing to do with the position of the patriarch, did not expect that his dream would be realized today. At this moment, the original dissatisfaction with Shi Lei in his heart disappeared instantly, and at the same time, his heart was full of gratitude to Shi Lei, he knew that if it weren't for Shi Lei, he would never be the patriarch of the Su Wan tribe.
When Su Ritu returned to the city and arranged for everyone to surrender, Shi Lei said to Gru, "Gru, from today onwards, you will be the patriarch of the Su and Anhui tribes, and I am here to congratulate you first." ”
Hearing Shi Lei's congratulations, Gru said in a panic, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, all this is given by adults, if it's not an adult, don't say it's done, it's something you can't think of, therefore, from now on, Gru is the most faithful servant by your side, if there is anything, please ask the adult to order, and the villain will do it." ”
Seeing that Gru did not get carried away, but knew to be grateful, Shi Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you can rest assured, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, then the benefits will definitely not be less for you in the future, okay, now you can do one thing for me first, this matter can be regarded as the first thing you do as the new patriarch in office, don't mess it up for me." ”
