Chapter 112 Extending the Shunguo (II)
The battle of Vashun lasted nine months and the dust settled, which was much earlier than He Ran expected, Shi Lang had also planned to fight for a year or two, and the smooth capture of Kaiqing City was a surprise, which greatly shortened the process.
Bai Gongbo still hasn't been caught, there is a fly in the ointment, Yi Jun is still searching for him with all his might, but He Ran feels that he is likely to be no longer in Shunguo, according to the current situation, he is most likely fleeing to Zhao,
The five uncles of Houyu and all the henchmen were all exterminated, and the unlucky King Shun was honored.
According to He Ran's instructions, Su Pingjiang returned Kaiqing City and the surrounding seven cities to Houyu, which was regarded as an immortal country, but he did not let Houyu go back immediately, and let him temporarily live in Mingzhong City under the pretext that the chaotic party had not been eliminated.
Houyu has been trembling in this section, always worried that he will be killed, and naturally he does not dare to have the slightest objection to King Yi's decision.
Another month passed, and under the urging of several envoys sent by King Fan, He Ran reluctantly went to Wuya to meet with him.
After meeting, Fan Wang Meiyu was worried, but He Ran couldn't help laughing, tilted his head to look at him and said: "My brother has finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish to enter the Central Plains, how can he still look like this." ”
King Fan glared at him unhappily and said, "I don't have the heart to laugh with you, help me think of a way, people are in their hearts, there are few who are willing to stay, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos if it continues like this." ”
He Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother thinks that he can be happy in the Central Plains." ”
King Fan pondered for a while, and said: "It's also a little unaccustomed, but on the whole it's okay, when the people surrender, I think it will be better, and the most important thing now is how to make my people stay willingly." ”
He Ran shook his body slightly and said: "I thought about it for my brother, but this thing is not easy to do, most of the people in the grassland are resistant to the Central Plains, and their way of life is also different, they are used to grazing and galloping, and suddenly no one can stand it in a small city, there are many mountains and forests here, and it is impossible to graze too many cattle and sheep, so it is ...... farming instead" He shook his head, "It's not overnight." ”
King Fan said in frustration: "I have thought about these before, and I didn't plan to move too many people over at the beginning, thinking that I could come little by little, but I didn't expect that there were few people willing to stay from top to bottom." ”
He Ran picked up the tea cup and blew the tea leaves floating on the water, with a faint smile on his face, he didn't speak, only shook his head slightly,
King Fan looked at him and warned: "Others can see me laughing but you can't, I can tell you, if you can't think of a good way, don't want to leave this Five Cliffs City, I'm unreasonable as a brother." ”
He Ran put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "As for the idea, I do have one, but I'm afraid to say it......"
"We are brothers and sisters with different surnames, and we have an alliance of life and death together, so what is there to worry about talking to me, say."
He Ran no longer shook his body, and said calmly: "Actually, I have long thought of the current situation, it is because my brother admires the Central Plains education too much that he thinks everything is on the good side, changing customs is not something that can be achieved overnight, you have to take your time." ”
"It's come this far, you can't let me just go back."
He Ran said with a smile: "How can so many land cities be cheap for us, although the younger brother is greedy, he will never dare to calculate the brother, I think so, the elder brother can lend us most of the territory, and we will take care of it temporarily, and the taxes collected every year will be divided equally between the two families, so that the elder brother can avoid the worry of governing the people and get a lot of income, and more importantly, he can act calmly, this Wuya City is the largest city here, and the elder brother can set it as the western capital, and live here for three or five months every year, so that his subordinates know that it won't take long to go back, You can stay for a few months with peace of mind, and you can gradually extend your stay in the future, and at the same time move some people from the Central Plains to the grassland, which can speed up the integration of the people on both sides, and the land you lent us can be recovered at any time. ”
After hearing this, King Fan got up and paced, and after a while stopped in front of him and said: "That's the only way to do it, alas, what you said is right, I was a little wishful thinking before, and finally you helped me solve the dilemma, what kind of writing is not written, I can't believe that, I only believe you, you and my brother said that it is decided." ”
He Ran smiled: "Then what can I do, such a big thing is empty, you are not afraid that the little brother has three longs and two shorts, and this land will not come back." ”
King Fan blamed: "Nonsense, don't talk nonsense if you are so unlucky, I am willing to lend the land because of you, if you don't want to pay it back in the future, then it will be for your brother to send you, others dare to deny this account, you have to ask me if the scimitar in the hands of the soldier agrees, this matter is not said, it is decided, I don't want to be so troublesome." ”
He Ran smiled and said, "Okay, good, but if you want to live in the Central Plains for a long time, your brother's own grassland habits must be changed first." ”
King Fan patted him affectionately and said: "You are my brother, it is better to have more grassland habits with you, and I have to learn to follow the rules of the Central Plains to others." ”
He Ran unfolded the geographical map and said, "Then draw the land, how much space does my brother want to keep." ”
King Fan casually drew from the grassland to Wuya City, and said: "Just leave the city on this road, now the more worry-free, the better, and when it is not enough in the future, I will look for you again." ”
He Ran said while collecting the geographical map: "Okay, I will also leave you the cities around Wuya City, there must be a place to garrison troops." ”
King Fan looked at him unhappily and said: "What am I doing here, my brother is Yi ** Division, my brother-in-law is Xiangling, the whole country is in the hands of the two of you, is it difficult to prevent you two from doing it to me." ”
He Ran hurriedly laughed and said: "Okay, okay, but when you come here, you must bring at least a few thousand people to prevent a bandit and a thief army, and you can't put all the safety matters on our heads, I'm a lazy person, don't let me worry about these things." ”
"You don't bother with this, but fortunately I brought you here, and I thought of such a strategy, you don't know what kind of rush I have become these days, I haven't been so anxious in the previous war, I'll arrange it, so that those who cry and shout to go back will go back."
He Ran hurriedly said: "Don't let them all go, my brother still has to keep some people to maintain for a while, we can't be busy now, how can it take a year and a half to send officials to take over, those people under your command know that it should be more stable to go back one day than now, let them take turns to be on duty here, and it should be no problem to put half of the people back." ”
Fan Wang said: "I'll think about this for you, let me tell you, I have to go back to the grassland in a few days to see, and when I come back in winter, this place will be taken care of by the second brother Adar and Hongkonger, and you can find them directly if you have anything." ”
He Ran nodded, pulled him up and said, "Let's go." ”
King Fan asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go drink, you have to say it anyway if I don't say it, it's better to take the initiative, lest you say I'm not a brother enough."
King Fan laughed and said: "That's right, Vashun is done, this victory wine should be drunk." ”
