Chapter 101: Meddling in Liaodong
"What? Could it be that the little Goguryeo also dares to touch my Liaodong? Wei Shuo was furious when he heard this.
"Alas! It's hard to put into words, since the news of the fall of Luoyang this year reached Liaodong, the Hu tribes of all tribes have raised their banners and rebelled, if it weren't for the fact that Dongyi Captain Feng Shi asked Murong Xianbei for help, I am afraid that Liaodong would have fallen long ago. Taking advantage of the weakness of our Central Plains Dynasty, the Goguryeo people began to raise troops south from last month in an attempt to take the two counties of Obifang and Lelang. ”
"Zhang Tong, the defender of the two counties of Daifang and Lelang, with the assistance of all parts of Liaodong, was able to block the attack of the Goguryeo people after desperate resistance. In order to cut off the connection between Liaodong County and the two counties of Obifang and Lelang, Goguryeo aimed his troops at Xi'an Ping. Just wait for the weather to warm up next year, Goguryeo will definitely send troops to attack our Xi'an Ping. ”
"Now, in the entire Xi'an Ping County, there are less than 500 soldiers, how can they resist the tens of thousands of wolf-like Goguryeo army?" After speaking, the Xiake of the Clan looked sad.
Wei Shuo didn't expect the situation in Liaodong to be so erosive, but he must not watch Goguryeo invade Liaodong, Obifang, Lelang and other places. Wei Shuo believed that if he did not intervene, the situation in eastern Liaodong would inevitably run according to the original track. Once the two counties of Belt Fang and Lelang fell, the Jin people who took refuge here would definitely go west to Murong Diao.
Historically, Murong Xianbei's rapid rise in Liaodong had a huge relationship with their wanton containment and recruitment of Han talents stranded in Liaodi. Whether it is Dongyi Lieutenant Feng Shi or Huangfu Zhen, Pei Wei, Zhang Tong and others, these Han talents can only choose the wise Murong Diao to assist them when they cannot return to the Central Plains.
But now that Wei Shuo is here, he will definitely not let this matter continue to develop, if possible, he hopes to recruit Huangfu Zhen, Pei Wei and others to his command. These two people are all talents like national scholars, and even the amazing and brilliant Murong Ke once praised Huangfu Zhen: "If you don't obey the king's words, you will almost fail." ”
Wang Meng, the former prime minister of Qin, even praised: "The emperor is really a great thing." ”
Even Fang Xuanling, the famous minister of the early Tang Dynasty, said: "True, weak crown, with high talent." ”
Although Pei Wei is not as good as Huangfu Zhen, he is not much worse, and together with Huangfu Zhen, he has become Murong Diao's right-hand man. To be honest, Wei Shuo was not confident that he could successfully recruit these two people under his command, after all, they were all descendants of a famous family, a descendant of the famous Huangfu family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty;
The other is from the Pei family in Hedong, and the Pei family is a top family. Pei Wei himself has served as the position of the county guard, and I don't know if the other party is willing to commit himself to the small soldiers! Either way, Wei Shuo has to give it a try.
"Lord Yu, if Wei is willing to help the adults defend the city, I wonder if the adults have the confidence to defend this Xi'an Ping City? Fight for a glimmer of life for the people who lead the party and Lelang? ”
"What?! What does Wei Dongjia mean by this? He didn't believe that a small businessman could help him solve the threat of tens of thousands of Goguryeo troops, so he arched his hand towards Wei Shuo and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the Wei Dong family, but the general trend is like this, and the Wei Dong family doesn't have to waste money in vain!" ”
"Eh, don't worry, don't worry, and listen to Wei!" Saying that, Wei Shuo took out the seal he was carrying, handed it to the county commander and said: "My lord, please see, in fact, Wei's real identity is Xuzhou Bing Cao, there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, if you don't mind, you can transfer some soldiers and horses from Xuzhou to help!" ”
He looked at the seal in his hand with a blank expression, not knowing how to react. Wei Shuo is obviously just a businessman, how can he become an official of the imperial court with six hundred stones in the blink of an eye. But the real seal in his hand told him that what Wei Shuo said was true.
"You, you, you ......"
Looking at the dumbfounded Shui Xiake, Wei Shuo hurriedly explained: "It's not that Wei intends to expire as an adult, it's really that Wei doesn't want to get involved in other troubles. ”
The Xiake of the Yu clan sighed and said: "Alas, I didn't mean to blame Lord Wei here, it's just that this matter is too unbelievable, and the official can't believe it for a while." ”
"Actually, to put it bluntly, it is nothing, by chance, he was favored by the assassin Shi Pei Dun, and he was appointed to work as a soldier in Xuzhou. Later, together with Zu Ti, the general of Fenwei who took refuge in the south, he broke the Hun Hu cavalry of 3,000 in Pengcheng, and dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Hu people who went south. ”
Later, due to the strength of the Hu people, Wei and General Zu escorted Pei Jianshi to retreat to Xiapi City. Because he had some friendship with the county commander of Zhuqi County, he personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to Zhuqi at his invitation to protect the people of the county from the invasion of the Hu people. In order to form a cavalry to compete with the Hu people, Wei had to go north to Liaodong to buy horses. ”
Wei Shuo's half-truths and half-truths briefly introduced his affairs in Xuzhou to the Xiake, although it was suspected of exaggeration, but it could make the county commander of the county listen to the ripples in his eyes. Obviously, after listening to Wei Shuo's experience, the county order of the Yu family was finally moved.
The county commander of the Yushi clan hurriedly got up and came to Wei Shuo's side, and asked eagerly, "I don't know how many reinforcements Lord Wei can send to come?" Although the Goguryeo soldiers are not strong, they have a lot of families! Even if Master Wei is under the command of one hundred, if there are too few people coming, I'm afraid it won't help! ”
Wei Shuo carefully calculated, now he has nearly 10,000 troops under his command, in addition to garrisoning in various places, he can recruit up to about 3,000 people to aid Liaodong, so he sighed slightly: "Don't hide it from the county commander, although there are nearly 10,000 tigers under his command, you can guard against Hu people from all over the country, so you can send up to 3,000 troops to help." ”
"Three thousand...... Although 3,000 people is a little less, it is more than enough to defend the city. "Although the county order is a little disappointed, it is quite satisfied. Originally, he thought that Wei Shuo, a small soldier, would be good if he could send a thousand people, but now that he has two thousand more people, what is he not satisfied with?
In Wei's opinion, if it was just to defend the city, 3,000 men and horses plus hundreds of garrisons in Xi'an Ping would be enough to deal with the army of Goguryeo. However, Wei did not intend to let go of the ambitious Goguryeo people, and if he did not teach them a lesson, he would definitely raise a large army to attack them in the future. ”
"If you want to do it once and for all, you have to give the Goguryeo people a hard time!"
The Yu clan thought so, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the guard Cao has to do?" ”
"Do you remember the Karasuma people we just talked about?"
"Could it be that the guard Cho plans to unite with the Karasuma people to deal with the Goguryeo people?"
Wei Shuo's eyes flashed and said, "The county magistrate guessed correctly, he really has this plan in the future!" The Karasuma people are in the same difficult situation as the Jin people in Liaodi, and if they can move with affection and reason, presumably the Karasuma people will not refuse to cooperate with us. In two days, the Karasuma chieftain Sumamaru will come to the prefecture to deliver the horses, and then we can talk to them about cooperating in the retreat from the enemy. ”
Hearing this, the Xiake of the Yu clan looked overjoyed, and said thoughtfully: "If you can really unite with the Karasuma people, then it is really possible to break Goguryeo next year!" It's just that those Karasuma people are unruly, I'm afraid it's not easy to recruit, right? ”
Wei Shuo waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "My lord doesn't know, at the moment, the Karasuma people not only have to face the Xianbei people in the west, but also the threat of the Goguryeo people in the east, as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely choose to cooperate with us." ”
……
Wei Shuo guessed correctly, after returning to the tribe, Shomaru immediately told the tribal elders that he had reached an agreement with Wei Shuo, and the elders were deeply satisfied with the results of his trip to Xi'anping. Although they felt a little bitter about the tribe's sacrifice of 800 horses, the elders no longer complained at the thought of the mountains of grain and salt, after all, the tribe's winter was the most important.
After returning to the elders, in addition to telling the elders the details of the transaction, he also had something to discuss with everyone. In the evening, in the name of deliberations, Speedu summoned several elders of the tribe and all his henchmen to the big tent.
Looking at the old and young faces around him, Speedu Tiger swept his eyes and said, "Bringing everyone here today is a matter of life and death for my tribe to discuss with everyone. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the big tent held their breath for a while, and they didn't dare to come out, only staring firmly at the tribal leader Sumaru.
