Chapter 319: In the Clouds
"Oh? This is why, such a Lao Shizi's official title, what is the use of this Taishou, don't do toss, this Taishou does things with disdain for others, no, no! Han Fei shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said disdainfully.
For him, having a place to live is now sufficient, all that remains is to grow and wait for the opportunity, as for the bigger official ...... Knowing the direction of history, Han Fei had already put his mind on the Son of Heaven, at least, with him Han Fei here, Cao Cao didn't want to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was time to replace him Han Fei, when the time comes, what kind of general, prime minister, it's not a matter of touching the lower lip with the upper lip, why waste so much thought now.
Guo Jia said: "The lord's words are wrong, although the lord ignores the court's reward, but it does not represent the eyes of the world, the reason why Yuan Shao is famous in the world is the effect of his name of the fourth and third princes, like this, abound. This time, it is the time to raise the prestige of the lord, the lord is now shallow, and his talents are very lacking. Although the Han is gradually decaying, the rest of the prestige is still there, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and sometimes, a false name will bring infinite benefits! I hope the lord will think twice! ”
Han Fei thought about it carefully, this is really the reason! He had thought about this question before, but he believed more in the fragrance of wine and was not afraid of deep alleys, and the so-called show was a little disdainful. People say that Yuan Shao is scheming and less decisive, and he is not the master, but he is like a city, and there are countless people who come and go; Moreover, there is Cao Cao, who stabbed Dong alone, and became famous in the world, and there were many followers...... Han Fei shook his head helplessly, and said, "The world is burdened by false fame, and I don't want me Han Fei to be like this." That's it, just follow the meaning of filial piety. In this matter, you can take full authority to defend it on behalf of Ben Tai! ”
"Obey the Lord's orders!"
It took nearly a month. After formulating the relevant legal constraints, Pei Yuanshao, Ren Jun, and Jia Xi were left to lead the affairs of the north, and the leaders of the two clans, such as Hu Chuquan and Kirbineng, brought enough elite and followed Han Fei's class back to Taiyuan.
Since then, the steppe nomads began to break away from the days of living by grass, and under the drive of the Han African policy, they gradually integrated into the life of the Han people. The whole process is not intense at all, just like boiling a frog in warm water, Han Fei firmly believes that as long as ten or twenty years pass, even if he wants the Xianbei and Huns to return to the grassland, it is estimated that the people of the two tribes will not be willing.
It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
Han Fei used the Han people, and even the prosperity of the Central Plains, to seduce the people of the two ethnic groups out of the grassland, and then assimilated.
Meantime. In view of the excellence of the war horses on the grassland, Han Fei implemented a transaction tax in Wuzhou, promulgated a legal code, and resumed trade with the Xiongnu and Xianbei. The living conditions of the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes have been greatly improved, and the people of the two ethnic groups are all praised for their virtues. A large number of Xiongnu and Xianbei war horses have made Wuzhou City the largest war horse trading market in the Han Dynasty. It has attracted countless businessmen.
As for the attitude of the local family, Han Fei didn't give them any good looks. He expressed his attitude very directly and firmly, "I don't care what you used to be. But as long as I'm here, even if you're a tiger, you have to squat for me, and if you're a dragon, you have to coil for me! However, I don't want to target the family, the trouble I don't want to do simple things, obey the law, make money quietly, isn't it good in this troubled world? ”
In a word, it also made the family feel at ease, not to make trouble, not to break the law, and to make money quietly in troubled times. The most important thing is that it is difficult to find peace in this place in troubled times, and they are reluctant!
Compared with the previous annexation, the annexation under Han Fei's rule is at least peaceful.
"Lord, this transaction tax has greatly suppressed the interests of the family, so isn't the lord afraid that they will have two hearts? Leave yourself a way out of everything! Now that there is a lord sitting in the town, they dare not have any objections, but it is inevitable that they will not hold a grudge against the lord in their hearts, in case there is an incident in the future, I am afraid it will be ......" Jia Xi said worriedly.
He is also from a family, but he is in decline, what the family thinks, Jia Xi knows best.
"Old gentleman, what you are worried about, as early as Jizhou Shigong and Mr. have mentioned non-Africa, this is not enough to worry about! If there is a counter, there will be a move when it was not in Jizhou, so why wait until now. They don't dare to have two hearts, because they can't bear it! Han Fei saw that he was serious, but he didn't care at all.
"Oh? Why is the lord willing to hear about it! Jia Xi raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.
"Old man, why did you come to ask you, the people?"
"Hunger is the opposite." Jia Xi was confused for a while, what does this have to do with the family?
The old gentleman is true of this, but he does not know it, and the opposite is hunger and persecution. As the old saying goes, the government forces the people to rebel, and that's it. The family that is said today has not persecuted them, but has only attracted some opponents for them out of thin air. If you want Wuzhou and the north to prosper, it must be so. After hundreds of years of precipitation, most of the families have decayed, and most of them are strong and middle-class, which is pampered. However, in this society, things are selected by nature, the fittest survive, they can't compete with their opponents, how can they complain about the reason to be too conservative? However, if it stands out from other competitors, is it thanks to Ben Taishou for expanding the market for it? ”
Seeing that Jia Xi was obsessed with the new concept, Han Fei continued: "There are pros and cons to everything, and those who don't do it only look at whether the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the pros!" Jizhou can have today's level and become a commercial center in the mouth of businessmen, and Jizhou can be stable and prosperous, all of which are due to this. The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit, the family is also a lot of business, businessmen, heavy profits, if Wuzhou can be as prosperous as the Central Plains, profitable, and can be reversed? ”
"The words of the lord are extremely incisive, and I admire the old decay! Hearing the words of the lord, there were many incomprehensible points before, and they all came to pass! The talent of the lord is not as good as the old decay! Jia Xi listened to the remarks he had never heard before, but he was reasonable, yes, things are selected by nature, only the fittest can survive, and the discomfort will naturally be eliminated, the reason why the Han Dynasty is declining is due to its system, the lord's move is to the point, it seems not obvious, but it points to the sore spot of the Han Dynasty for 400 years!
"The old gentleman praised it falsely, but how to deserve it, if you don't spare no effort to help. If you are not safe, you can have today. Han Fei said with a smile.
Jia Xi is the ruling officer he stayed in Wuzhou, and he is an old traitor. Ma Lao slippery, there is such a person who is old and refined here. In order to avoid Jia Xi's path being very different from his own, in the days before the class, Han Fei instilled his own ideas into this old man, and after a few days, he wasted a lot of spitting stars, but Han Fei firmly believed that it was worth it.
Leaving Jia Xi thoughtful, Han Fei set his eyes on Guo Jia again.
"Fengxiao, have you chosen the route back to Taiyuan?"
Guo Jia smiled. He said, 'It depends on what the lord means?' ”
"Oh?" Han Fei was a little confused.
Guo Jia smiled slightly, didn't sell it, and said: "Then it depends on whether the lord thinks about Taiyuan or wants to do it once and for all." ”
"How is Si Taiyuan's heart? What about once and for all? Han Fei asked puzzled.
"If the lord thinks about Taiyuan, it is simple, just take the road directly to Taiyuan, how to go as close as possible, and within half a month, the lord can return to Taiyuan." Guo Jiadao.
"What is the so-called once and for all?"
"Now the two counties of Taiyuan and Yanmen are in the hands of the lord. In addition to the Shangdang counties controlled by Zhang Yang and Zhang Yan, there are also the five counties of Pufang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Xihe, and Shangjun, which are controlled by local clans, or in the hands of the Di, Hu, and Xiongnu. Now. Our army has been cultivated for nearly a month, and there are soldiers of the Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes, and there is enough food and grass. It can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, if the lord wants to do it once and for all. It is completely possible to divide the troops into two or three roads and divide the land of the five counties. It is also like exploring the bag to take things, at that time, there will only be one county left in the state, and the lord will be easy to take the whole territory of the state. Guo Jiadao.
Han Fei was moved.
"Okay, then once and for all!"
Soldier, noble god. The next day, Han Fei's three-way army left Wuzhou, divided into three directions and merged with the state, and the soldiers and horses of Zhangjaw and Ganning were not listed for the time being, but said that Han Fei's way was to unify the thousands of beggar troops, 500 camps, 2,000 Hun iron cavalry and 2,000 Xianbei cavalry, a total of 5,500 troops, with a thunderous momentum like a bamboo, connecting Wujin, Chengle, and Yuanyang, and approaching the county seat of Yunzhong. Han Fei's personal commander of the "beggar army" moved forward, and with a sneak attack along the road, the three counties were caught off guard, or those who were afraid of their prestige and surrendered early, or those who were defeated and disarmed, all the three counties belonged to Han Fei. After meeting the army in Yuanyang, wave troops to the city of clouds!
The news had already reached Yunzhong County.
"General Zhang, like Su Wen Han is unstoppable, famous in the world, and now he is in the realm, but we can't deserve it, how can it be good?"
Zhang Qing, it is said that he is of the same clan as Zhang Yang, and the specific relationship between the poles is not clear, at least the two have not met once after living for so many years. Zhang Qing was originally a good local strong in the clouds, the Xiongnu entered the state, Yunzhong once fell, later, the Huns left, only a small tribe of 1,000 people stayed, after the death of Luanti Qiangqu, the Xiongnu once had civil strife, Yu Fuluo and others fought for power, Zhang Qing saw the opportunity, contacted a few local heroes, did his best to take the county in Yunzhong, and called himself Yunzhong Taishou.
Zhang Qing saw that it was his subordinate general Wang Xiang who spoke, and the word Xibo. Hearing what he said, Zhang Qing felt the same way, nodded, and said: "Just like this, the world is rumored to be famous for his bravery, and it is said that his strength can rival the flying general Lu Bu. What's more, there are now five or six thousand troops in command, and our army only has more than 3,000 city guards in the city, so there is no reason to stop it. ”
"There is no reason to win the battle, only to retreat!" But it is Zhang Qing's subordinate Meng Guang, whose word is Xiaoyu.
The so-called generals are all powerful people who followed Zhang Qing to raise troops, saying that Yunzhong is an official mansion, but it is better to say that this place is more like a certain mountain, Zhang Qing is the king, and the others are the two kings and the three kings...... finally won the county town of Yunzhong, and before a few years of comfortable life, Han Fei came, how could these people be willing to spit out the meat in their mouths?
Even if Han Fei is surrendered, how can they be reused by Han Fei?
No name, no share!
"Brother Xiaoyu is outwitted, presumably there must be a strategy in his chest, and I know what he says!" Zhang Qing heard what he said and said with great joy.
"This plan is very simple, Lord Taishou can hide a sharp blade between me and Xibo, and pretend to surrender, he will be overjoyed, and he can take advantage of his lack of preparation to stab him, so as to prevent my lord's trouble!" Meng Guang said carefully.
Zhang Qing clapped his hands again and again and praised: "This plan is wonderful, Qingdang and the two of you will go together and stab them together!" ”
"Don't be too shou-sama!" Meng Guang waved his hand again and again: "Lord Taishou, you can go!" If Han Fei'er saw that the three of us were out and asked someone to take the city, what could he do? ”
"This ...... That's right. That's according to the meaning of Brother Xiaoyu. ”
"There are two of us with a thousand armorers, saying that they are not in agreement with Lord Taishou. If the army is introduced, it will not be investigated. Surely it will be killed! Meng Guang said.
"In this way, the safety of the clouds depends on the two generals, take care!" Zhang Qing looked serious and arched his hand.
"General, don't worry, we will succeed!"
However, it was said that Han Fei's army, on this day, came to the city in the clouds, set up camp, and made people fight the enemy and scold the array. However, there should be no battle in the city, and he traveled all the way, and he was tired from afar, so Han Fei had to order the sergeant to bury the pot and cook, and after resting, he would try to do it again tomorrow.
That night, Han Fei was discussing military affairs with Guo Jia in the tent, and suddenly a sergeant reported that he had captured an enemy soldier. Han Fei and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and ordered the sergeant to escort the fine work into the tent.
"Who are you?" Han Fei looked at the kneeling person in front of him. Asked in a cold voice.
"Han Taishou, the villain is a sergeant under Meng Guang, who was ordered by my general, and has something to say about Han Taishou." The man was not nervous. Calm reply.
"Oh? Who is Meng Guang? What did he have to say? Han Fei asked suspiciously.
Who Meng Guang is, I don't know!
"My general is the general of Zhang Qing, who is now guarding Zhang Qing in the clouds. The general of my family heard that Han Taishou was here with a large army, and that Zhang Qing was beyond his strength. I want to fight to the death with Han Tai. My general and another Zhang Qingbu general, Wang Xiang, told him to surrender, but he did not listen. I don't like it, and I don't like it, and I don't like it. Our general and General Wang want to lead the army to Han Taishou's account. That's why the villain came to tell him overnight! The man said.
"Hehe, when are your generals going to vote?" Han Fei sighed, hehe chuckled, but there was no expression on his face, and he said in a non-hurried tone.
"My general was scheduled to come down at the fixed time tomorrow night."
"Oh, that being the case, Ben Taishou already knows, give you wine and food, and after eating, you will go back and tell your general and General Wang, which means that Ben Taishou will set up a banquet here at night, waiting for the two of them to vote!" Han Fei said with a smile.
"Xie Han Taishou, the villain must be brought by the will of the Taishou Lord!" After speaking, under the leadership of Sergeant Han Fei, the big tent was sent.
"Surrender? Hum! ”
When the man's back disappeared from sight, Han Fei snorted in his nose, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think about this?" ”
"Lord, someone has come to surrender, which proves the authority of the lord, whether it is sincere or deceitful, and you must be careful about this. If it is false, I am afraid that the person who made this decision did not inform the person who sent the letter, and there is no half-sense between his words, and Jia can't tell whether it is true or false, and I hope that the lord will be careful to beware of it. Guo Jia carefully analyzed it before he said.
"The meaning of filial piety is exactly what I want, and prevention is better than prevention, and I know it." Han Fei nodded and said.
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "In this way, Jia is relieved." ”
But said that the man transferred Han Fei's words to Meng Guang, and Meng Guang and the three of them were overjoyed, thinking that they had a plan, rectifying all the things that were applied, and recuperating their energy to wait for the next day and night.
The next day, at night, Han Fei and his generals were waiting for Meng Guang and Wang Xiang to come to the big tent early, and Guo Jia said on the side: "If Meng Guang and Wang Xiang come happily, the lord can beware of them; But if they do not come, they will raise their armies and take their cities, and do not tarry. ”
"Hehe, Ben Taishou knows, Fengxiao, you can rest assured." Han Fei smiled and said.
While he was talking, a sergeant came in and reported: A whirlwind rose in front of the tent and blew down the flag with the word "Han" at the door of the tent.
When Han Fei heard the report, his brows furrowed, and he asked Guo Jiadao: "The wind blows the flag down, Fengxiao, why is this a sign?" ”
"This is an alarm, and the Lord is in danger! Meng Guang and Wang Xiang must have the intention of assassination, and the lord should guard against it! Guo Jia applied seriously and said in a deep voice.
Han Fei heard what Guo Jia said, so he dressed neatly, and wore a sword to defend himself, and after a while, the sergeant came to report, saying that Meng Guang and Wang Xiang led a thousand troops to surrender. Han Fei instructed the sergeant to welcome the two of them into the tent, and also instructed Dian Wei and Jia Kui, saying: "You two, lead the 'beggar army' and the 'trapped camp', and the sergeants from Yunzhong City will come later, no matter how many, the horse infantry soldiers, one of them will be released back, and all of them will be placed under house arrest!" ”
However, it was said that Meng Guang and Wang Xiang each hid a sharp blade by their side, led a thousand soldiers, led sheep and wine, and went to the front of the army. Seeing that Han Fei's army was unprepared, he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he had a plan. When he entered the tent, he saw Han Fei sitting in the tent with a person.
The second general hurriedly knelt down and said: "I heard that Lord Taishou came to the clouds from afar, and he sent him with a thin gift, and Lord Taishou Tianwei specially led a thousand soldiers under his command to vote, and I hope that Lord Taishou will not give up." ”
Then he went into wine to persuade Han Fei.
Han Fei scolded secretly in his heart, hum, pretentious, I see what you have done, and smirked: "It is not easy for the two generals to defend the city, but it is a great achievement to bring the army to vote today, so you should drink this cup first." ”
After the second general finished drinking, Han Fei said again: "Ben Taishou has a secret matter to discuss with the second general, and the idlers retreat." ”
As he spoke, he drove all the soldiers he brought with him out of the Chinese army. Han Fei shouted sharply: "Left and right and Ben Taishou to catch these two thieves!" The axemen who had been in ambush behind the tent came out. Meng and Wang were anxious to fight, but there were few people, and the incident happened suddenly, and they were caught off guard and were all captured.
Han Fei shouted: "Why did you two conspire to protect your life too much? ”
The two of them quibbled, and Guo Jia then ordered the two of them to be searched left and right, and sure enough, they found a sharp blade. The two of them were speechless and begged for mercy.
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and ordered the two to behead, seeing that Han Fei was still a little hesitant, Guo Jia couldn't help but hurriedly said: "These two people originally intended to kill the lord, but they should not be punished." (To be continued......)
