In the Taishou Mansion, the earth-shattering cheers spread far away. Wei Shuo was discussing the delivery of the spoils of war with his subordinates, and a large number of grain, grass, ordnance and horses were captured in this battle.

"Hahaha, that's great! If only I could win a few more battles like this! ”

Wei Shuo looked at the ecstatic Neng Chen and couldn't help but tease: "Neng Chen, it's good to encounter a good thing like today once in your life, so don't daydream." ”

"Aha, lord, how can this be called a daydream? If there are more fools like Yuwenxun Nick Yan in the future, I am afraid that after a few battles, we will be able to defeat the Hu people quickly and recover the Central Plains. ”

Wei Shuo smiled and didn't answer, but changed the topic and said, "Everyone, the war is over, and we have defeated the enemy again!" In this battle, not only did the enemy army be annihilated, but also captured 10,000 stone of grain and nearly 40,000 war horses. In addition to all the ordnance handed over to the Joint Logistics Department for disposal, and the grain was delivered to Hu Cao, there are still 40,000 war horses left. ”

"Xuzhou and Liaodong still need a large number of ploughing horses, please allocate 20,000 horses first!" As soon as Wei Shuo's words fell, Nong Cao's chief officer, You Di, asked for half of the captured war horses.

"No, I don't agree! Lord, now that the expansion of my Liaodong cavalry is imminent, I urgently need a large number of war horses! In addition, pastures in Jeju Island have been put into use, and there is a need for a large number of stallions. I think it's more appropriate for these horses to be handed over to our military for disposal. ”

Yu's suggestion was unanimously opposed by the military, and the head of the cavalry division, Speedaru, even wanted to keep all the captured horses for himself. Although Speedu's request was a bit excessive, what he said was not untargeted, and the Liaodong cavalry would usher in a major reorganization in the second half of the year, plus the needs of the Jeju Island Horse Farm, the military did need to replenish a large number of horses.

Looking at the noisy civil and military sides, Wei Shuo frowned, he didn't expect that just after the opening of the mansion, there would be signs of civil and military discord under his command. Although this was also a situation that Wei Shuo secretly wanted to see, looking at the two sides of the fierce dispute, he felt that he was obliged to end this meaningless quarrel.

"Alright, you all don't fight, all listen to me! The 40,000 war horses were first selected by the Joint Logistics Division, and all the horses suitable for stallions were selected and sent to the Jeju Island Horse Farm, and then 10,000 war horses were selected and handed over to the Cavalry Division to expand the cavalry, and the remaining horses were all handed over to Nongcao and Hucao for disposal. ”

With Wei Shuo's final decision, the dispute between the civil and military sides over the horses immediately disappeared. While Wei Shuo and the others were busy dealing with the prisoners and booty, Cui Tao entered Xi'an Ping non-stop.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous market in Xi'an, Cui Tao sighed secretly. As Cui Yu's nephew, although it is impossible for Cui Tao to publicly accuse his uncle, he said in his heart that he felt a trace of dissatisfaction with his uncle's behavior. As a bystander, Cui Tao can see certain issues better than his uncle.

In Cui Tao's opinion, his uncle is not suitable to be a hegemonic leader in terms of ability or personality! Even in some ways, Cui Yu has not done as well as Wang Jun. But the uncle did not realize this, but was ambitious to compete for the dominance of Liaodong.

This time, his uncle Cui Yu gathered nearly 100,000 troops from all sides to besiege Xi'anping, but was wiped out by Wei Shuo without much effort. It is said that Yuwen Xun became seriously ill as soon as he returned to the tribe, and had to entrust the power of the tribe to his son Yuwen to beg for a turtle.

When my uncle heard that the Yuwen cavalry had been wiped out, he was so frightened that he couldn't eat or sleep well for several days, and in desperation, he had the cheekiness to send himself to Xi'an Ping to bow his head to Wei Shuo and admit defeat, begging Wei Shuo not to attack Xiangping in front of Wang Jun.

But since coming to Xi'anping, Cui Tao realized that it was just his uncle's wishful thinking, and if he changed someone, he might accept his uncle's conditions. But after seeing the various policies implemented by Wei Shuo in Xi'anping, Cui Tao had no hope. In his opinion, Wei Shuo is a hero, and it is impossible to give up the opportunity to take Liaodong in front of him.

Sure enough, as soon as Wei Shuo heard that Cui Tao had come to congratulate him on behalf of Cui Yu, he couldn't help but sneer: "Your uncle doesn't think that sending someone to me to say a few good words will make him forget the wrong things he has done in the future, right?" Hehe, I really didn't expect Cui Yu to be such a naïve person! The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is really not a good thing, look at the virtues of the elected officials! ”

At this time, Lu Chang stood up again and pointed at Cui Tao's nose and scolded: "Your uncle colluded with the Hu people to destroy my Xi'an Ping, and now he still has the face to congratulate him!" Do you take us for idiots? Go back and tell your uncle, if he knows the current affairs, he should surrender as soon as possible, my lord will not be embarrassed by him for the sake of the same Yanhua lineage! But if he wants to escape, once he is captured by our army in the future, what kind of consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Wei Shuo saw Cui Tao's embarrassed face, and hurriedly pretended to reprimand Lu Chang a few words: "Master Lu must not be rude!" Cui Tao made a big mistake, but Cui Tao just obeyed orders. Today, he has come from afar, how can he say that he is our guest, how can he scold him? ”

Immediately, Wei Shuo comforted Cui Tao a few more words: "Your Excellency's intention, Wei knows it!" But as the saying goes: if you don't take it, you will be blamed! After this battle, the opportunity for Wei to unify Liaodong had already appeared, so it was impossible to give up this rare opportunity for the sake of small profits. After you go back, please tell Cui Tingshi in detail, and persuade him to give up resistance as soon as possible and strive to surrender as soon as possible! ”

"As long as Cui Tingshi is willing to put aside the grievances between the two sides and come to surrender, Wei promises that he will never hurt Cui Tingshi in the slightest!"

After listening to Wei Shuo's words, Cui Tao had no choice but to leave gloomily. Not long after Cui Tao left, a large number of soldiers and horses came out from Xi'an, and the divided roads were driven towards Xiangping, Wenxian, Anshi County, Xinchang County, Licheng County, Jujiao County and other counties. Basically, there was no resistance in various places, and as soon as they saw the Weizi flag fluttering in the army, they opened the city and surrendered one after another.

The funniest thing is Cui Yu, he neither has the courage to choose to fight to the death with Wei Shuo, nor does he dare to risk surrendering to Wei Shuo. In the end, before Wei Shuo's army arrived in Xiangping, he abandoned the city alone and fled to Changli County to take refuge with Murong Diao.

It was only because Cui Yu did not notify anyone when he fled, so his family and staff did not have time to escape, and they were captured by the guards stationed in Xiangping. Among the captives, except for Cui Tao, only Gao Zhan was the most worried about Wei Shuo. This person is a capable person, just because Cui Yu can't play his role well.

After the chaos in the Central Plains, he led his clan to move to Youzhou, and planned to take refuge in Youzhou Thorn Wang Jun, but later saw that Wang Jun did not look like a person who could achieve great things, and in desperation, he attached himself to Cui Yu and moved to Liaodong with Cui Yuju.

When Cui Yu was ready to collude with the Hu people to crusade against Wei Shuo, Gao Zhan was resolutely opposed, but Cui Yu didn't listen to him. When Cui Yu met the alliance, he tried his best to plan for Cui Yu, but in the end he failed!

Now Cui Yu fled to the Murong tribe alone, but Gao Zhan accidentally became a prisoner. Wei Shuo knew that he was a capable person, so he sent him to Xi'anping.

When Wei Shuo looked at Gao Zhan, he saw that the other party looked magnificent, so he valued him very much and wanted to worship him to join the army, but Gao Zhan said that he was sick and resigned. Knowing that Gao Zhan rejected him, Wei Shuo was not surprised. In history, after Cui Yu fled, Gao Zhan refused to give in to Murong Diao, and finally ended up depressed.

Historically, Pei Wei and Gao Zhan chose two different paths when the ethnic minorities were strong, that is, cooperation and non-cooperation. What Pei Wei did was the active intervention of the Han elite in the face of troubled times, trying to do their best to fight for the greatest interests of the family and the nation, which was understandable in the eyes of the people at the time.

However, as a descendant, Wei Shuo naturally has a higher regard for Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan's non-cooperation represents the noble integrity of the Han elite in this era, and this integrity is the most valuable asset of a nation.

In the face of such a noble person, Wei Shuo planned to learn from Uncle Liu Huang and prepare to visit the thatched house. In the days that followed, Wei Shuo visited the patient several times with gifts. After all, Wei Shuo is different from Murong Diao, and it is impossible for Gao Zhan to reject Wei Shuo with the attitude he used to treat Murong Diao in history.
