Chapter 107: Liaodong Alliance
"As we all know, after my Liaodong Karasuma people were arrogant and Shan Yu was killed by the Han general Zhang Liao, their strength became weaker day by day. Especially after the rise of the Xianbei people, many Karasuma tribes in Liaodong were forced to change their names to become Xianbei people, and we just didn't want to become Xianbei people so we had to move all the way east to the border of Goguryeo. ”
"But Goguryeo is not easy to mess with, there are millions of people in their country, and there are countless people with armor, just with the thousands of people in our tribe, they are simply unable to compete with the powerful Goguryeo."
Speedu's words made the Karasuma people present feel related, and the reality is indeed so! Today's Karasuma people have long since declined, and they are no longer the tribe that dominated Liaodong decades ago. The current Karasuma people can only survive in the gap between the Xianbei people and Goguryeo.
Seeing everyone's embarrassed faces, Speedu knew that they were almost stimulated, and then said mysteriously: "Now there is a chance for me to re-emerge as a Karasuma person, just see if we can catch it!" ”
"Huh? Chief, what do you mean by that? ”
"That's right, chief, if you have anything to say, why do you say half and leave half, isn't it anxious?"
"Big brother, have you thought of any good way?"
As soon as Speedu's words fell, the big tent suddenly became noisy, and many people couldn't help but get excited when they heard that the Karasuma people still had a chance to rise. Several elderly elders were even more excited with tears in their eyes, calling God bless!
Speedu stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "I won't hide it from you, a few days ago, my brothers and I went to meet with Wei Dong's family in the county town of Jinren, and I accidentally learned a piece of news. It is said that after the beginning of spring next year, Goguryeo will send a large army to attack Xi'anping in an attempt to cut off the connection between Liaodong County and the two counties of Obifang and Lelang. ”
"At present, in Liaodong, only the Jin people and my Karasuma people are the weakest, once the Jin people are destroyed and the Xianbei people are no longer contained, they will definitely send a large army to annex us."
If it weren't for Wei Shuo's arrival in Liaodong, history would have developed as Sumaru had predicted. Xi'an Ping fell, and the Jin people in the two counties of Daifang and Lelang lost foreign aid and soon fell two years later.
In desperation, the Jin people in Liaodong took refuge in Murong Xianbei, which promoted the rise of Murong Xianbei. Later, Murong Xianbei was able to establish a state, thanks to the help of the Han people in Liaodong.
"Big brother means to unite the Jin people!" Nechen is worthy of being Speedu's own brother, and he immediately guessed his brother's thoughts. "United Jinren?" An exclamation suddenly sounded in the big tent, obviously everyone didn't expect that Speedu would unite with the weak Jin people.
"That's right, it's the United Jin people! Just like Murong Diao did at the beginning! Only by uniting the Jin people first, can we Karasuma people justifiably expand our strength in Liaodong. Moreover, after uniting with the Jin people, it can also dispel the ambition of the Xianbei people to annex us. You must know that Shan Yu of the Xianbei people is still a big official of the Jin people! ”
At this time, Speedu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see the Karasuma people re-emerging in the land of Liaodong in his hands in the future. Maybe Quickaru doesn't know that in Xi'an Ping County, there is a Jin person who is holding the same idea as him. It was precisely because Lang had the intention of having a concubine that Speedu quickly got on the line with Wei Shuo.
After several trials, the two sides decided to hold a formal meeting in the city of Speedaru. Among the people who participated in this alliance, in addition to Wei Shuo and Su Maru, the two main alliances, there were also the elders of the Karasuma tribe, the Neng Chen, the Ling Yu clan of Xi'an County, and Wei Shuo's staff, Mr. Liu.
On this day, in an inconspicuous courtyard in Xi'an County, a gathering was being held that was enough to change the situation of the war in Liaodong. In order to ensure the personal safety of the participants, the courtyard was surrounded by eyeliner, and every once in a while, a team of elite Jin troops patrolled back and forth.
In the hall, the Jin people and the Karasuma people were divided into two groups of people. As the planner of this alliance, Wei Shuo first stood up and bowed deeply to the leader of the Quickpill and said, "Before the alliance, I have to apologize to the leader of the Speedu first!" Wei is not an ordinary businessman, but he is still engaged in Xuzhou Bingcao of the Great Jin Dynasty! ”
"It's not that Wei deliberately concealed his official position, it's really that it's inconvenient to reveal his identity during his trip to Liaodong. But now that you want to form an alliance with your department, it is inconvenient to hide it any longer, otherwise you will be insincere to your allies. I just hope that the leader of Quickmaru can understand Wei's helplessness and forgive one or two. ”
Suddenly learning Wei Shuo's true identity, Speedu and the others were inevitably frightened. However, the leader of the Shomaru did not blame Wei Shuo, but instead valued the alliance more, believing that a soldier Cao was obviously more helpful than a pure merchant.
"Since both of us have the will to form an alliance, it is better for everyone to put out their own conditions first, and then after consultation, we will determine the future alliance."
"Wei Dongjia is right, we Karasuma people actually don't have any requirements, as long as you can grant us official positions and provide us with food, grass and weapons, our warriors can accept your command and dispatch, and help you put down rebellions in various places." With a big wave of his hand, Speedu behaved boldly.
When the Xiake of the Yu clan heard this, his face immediately turned happy, and the conditions proposed by Sumaru were consistent with the current Jin Dynasty's policy of dealing with the Hu people. The court was responsible for finding a place for the Hu people to live in, the Hu people accepted the official positions of the Jin people, and the tribal knights obeyed the command of the Jin people.
However, Wei Shuo obviously did not want to repeat the wrong national policy of the Jin Dynasty, so he smiled indifferently and said, "The conditions of the leader of the Speedu are very superior, but we are not willing to accept it. Presumably, you have all heard that chaos is taking place in various parts of the Central Plains, and the Hu people who ravaged the Central Plains are the same Hu people who moved inward according to these conditions. ”
As soon as Wei Shuo said this, not only did the face of the Karasuma man on the other side change greatly, but even the complacent Xiake of the Yu clan just now also broke out in a cold sweat.
"Lord Wei, what do you mean by that? Do you doubt the sincerity of our Karasuma Kaild? Do you want us to swear in the name of the wolf god? Speedu's younger brother Nengchen pointed at Wei Shuo with an angry face, and Speedu, who was sitting at the top, had no intention of stopping it, just to see how Wei Shuo responded.
"Brother Nengchen misunderstood, Wei did not doubt the sincerity of your ministry's alliance, but only pointed out that the conditions put forward by your ministry could not satisfy us at all." In the face of the accusations of the Karasuma people, Wei Shuo's face remained unchanged, and he explained to the other party unhurriedly.
At this time, Speedu suddenly spoke: "I don't know if Lord Wei has any good ideas, you might as well say it and listen to it." ”
Hearing this, Wei Shuo stood up and said, "There are two options for you to choose from: one is similar to the conditions you just proposed, but more relaxed. First of all, we will not grant you official positions, you will remain relatively independent, and you will only accept our employment when there is a war breaking out. ”
"Hire?"
"That's right, it's hiring! The relationship between us and us is that we pay for it, and you contribute people to help us fight the war. As for the post-war pension and the distribution of the spoils, they could be settled through negotiation before the war. This employment relationship exists only in wartime, and once the war is over, the employment relationship automatically ends until the next war breaks out. ”
After listening to Wei Shuo's introduction of the employment agreement, the Karasuma people present were immediately overjoyed, and many elders were quite moved by this relatively free employment relationship. Although they were unable to obtain the official position of the Jin, it allowed the Karasuma people to have more freedom and power.
However, the Karasuma chieftain Sumari does not see it that way, and the employment relationship seems to give the Karasuma people a lot of freedom, but it also clearly excludes the Karasuma people from the Jin people's system! The Karasuma people could not obtain the official position of the Jin people, so they could not occupy the righteous position in the Liao region, and they still had to face threats from the Xianbei people.
"Once the employment relationship is established, the warriors of your tribe are the mercenaries of our Jin people, and they can reap a good reward every time they fight. However, because mercenaries can only be regarded as ordinary allies, if your ministry encounters any problems, we Jin people are not responsible for solving them. ”
As soon as Wei Shuo's words came out, the faces of the Karasuma people who were still happy just now suddenly looked ugly, wasn't the reason why they Karasuma people were in a hurry to form an alliance with the Jin people was to pull allies to deal with the Xianbei people! If you still can't avoid the threat from Xianbei after forming an alliance, then you can still form a fart alliance!
