Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Fisherman Profits
No matter how dissatisfied or disgusted Xie Shenwei was with Tiqi at this time, he had to admit that Zhou Jinmian was indeed a very smart person, and he was a very good-tempered person.
When Xie Shenwei saw him again the next day, he felt that Zhou Jinmian was a good person.
Well, such an idea would never arise among those who were killed by Zhou Jinmian.
Because Zhou Jinmian solved the problem that had plagued Jiang Qi for nearly half a month in just two quarters of an hour, when he saw Zhou Jinmian today, Jiang Qi expressed great respect, which made Zhou Jinmian a little flattered.
Because of Zhou Jinmian's reasoning, Xie Shenwei easily thought of a person he and Xie Shence had met together: He Lou.
He Lou's son, He Lou Niu Colu, is still in the iron gate! It's just that it's been strictly guarded, and the scope of activity is limited to the barracks.
Jiang Qi asked people to bring Niu Colu and asked him to write a letter to He Lou's family, in which he said that he wanted He Lou's department to cooperate with the Northwest Army's next military operation.
Then Jiang Qi gave the order and carried out an active attack on the Duan Department.
In order to confirm whether Xie Shence and the others are now in the He Lou Department.
The Northwest asked the Helou Division to cause some interference to the rear of the Duan Division in the next stage of military operations. The Northwest will strike when the Duan Department is putting pressure on the He Lou Department, and annihilate the forces of the Duan Department between the Northwest and the He Lou Department.
This is a huge decoy for the He Lou Department, if the plan is successful, then the He Lou Department will be able to ask for the control of the Duan Department, and then control a large area of more abundant pasture. Get more people and increase your strength.
Xie Shenwei will personally lead the team to meet the people of the He Lou Department at that time. At that time, it will be certain that Xie Shence is not in the He Lou Department.
It's a hassle, but it's probably the safest way to do it right now.
The reason why they had to go around such a big circle was because Xie Shenwei and Jiang Qi were not sure if He Lou would be unfavorable to Xie Shence. This is a critical question. Even Zhou Jinmian couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Because for He Lou's family, whether it is Duan Bu or Jin Guo, they are stronger than them, and the former wolf and tiger have not changed much for He Lou's for the status quo. Therefore, if He Lou has different intentions, he may not use Xie Shence's life and safety as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.
Therefore, in mid-May, in order to further stabilize the situation in the northwest frontier, the Northwest Army of the Jin State launched a new round of offensive against Duan Xianbei. 10,000 elite cavalry in the northwest and 4,000 Modao army commanders drove straight into 400 miles, directly crippling nearly 20,000 cavalry in the southwest of the Duanbu, and then echoing the Yuwen Department in the northeast of the Duanbu, plus Tuoba Xianbei in the north, it seems to form a three-sided encirclement.
The section was stormy for a while. Hundreds of small tribes took the opportunity to break away from the control of the Duan Department and take refuge in the new forces.
Duan Pishan sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, his face extremely gloomy.
For a few months, this overlord who is known for his ruthlessness and viciousness is no longer the domineering posture of a few months ago, and he can no longer see the spirit of devouring like a tiger on his body.
His wrinkles and gray hair made him look more like an old man on the verge of death.
The generals sitting on both sides of the section bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, not daring to speak.
In more than ten days, the Duan Department suffered tremendous pressure from the Northwest Army of the Jin State, and the Northwest Army defeated nearly 20,000 elite cavalry of the Duan Department with lightning speed.
This was the biggest blow to the Duan since the start of the war, and even when facing the tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Tuoba Royal Court a month ago, the Duan did not suffer much loss.
There are only 4,000 remaining 20,000 elite cavalry, and the loss of the Northwest Army of the Jin State is less than 1,000!
If their own losses are already painful, then the almost negligible losses of the enemy army are the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Duan Pishan was furious and cut off the heads of the eight commanders in one go.
However, this did not relieve him, because the most hateful thing about this defeat was not the huge losses caused by the sudden attack of the Northwest Army, but the internal problems of his own people, which made Duan Pishan extremely irritable.
Something went wrong with his war pension.
He was confronted by the families of three small tribes over the issue of pensions for their families killed in the war.
It's actually a very small thing.
Because of the plundering of private property, the families of the war dead have always received relatively little pensions, and in some tribes, there is even no pension at all. Duanbu is not an ordinary weed tribe, but a big tree, so the system will be relatively complete, so it is natural that there will be corresponding social security. War pensions are one of them.
Of course, the amount of the pension cannot be compared with that of the agrarian countries of the Central Plains.
However, there will be some even few, which is a manifestation of tribal cohesion.
Of course, Duan Pishan knew what kind of person his financial officer was, so he didn't pay attention to such a trivial matter as embezzling pensions at first. After all, it's less than a thousand taels of silver, just intimidate twice, what else can those small tribes do? So Duan Picheng took an attitude of ignoring it.
However, it was such an attitude that actually forced Duan Pishan to such a situation.
Because of the acquiescence or indulgence of Duan Pishan, the lord of the Duan Division, the three small tribes who came to ask for pensions were killed by the Duan Finance Officer, which quickly caused panic in the Duan Division. Rumors spread that Duan Pishan's command was unfavorable, he lost a large area of the grassland, and when he was about to be defeated, he killed his clansmen, looted wealth, and wanted to sacrifice to the enemy, and begged for peace......
Because the Duanbu Finance Officer had previously cut off the heads of several people who were begging for beneficials and displayed them to the public for three days, the message spread throughout the tribes and tribes within three days, causing many tribes to panic. In addition, the battle situation was indeed unfavorable, and Duan Pishan had grievances with the tribes on weekdays, so it caused a fire in the plains - hundreds of tribes broke away from the control of the Duan Ministry and took refuge in the Yuwen Ministry, Wang Ting, and ...... He Lou Department.
He Lou Department!
If the original little weeds fell to the powerful Yuwen Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei and made Duan Pishan helpless, then it was unbearable for Duan Pishan to have nearly thirty small tribes take refuge in the He Lou Department.
It's not a matter of face anymore, it's a matter of lining! It's dignity!
More than 30 tribes defected to the He Lou Department, and the He Lou Department actually accepted it in a grand manner! And they were welcomed with a grand ceremony.
Why is he in the building department? How dare he?
He Loubu, who is like an ant, is challenging the bottom line of his Duanbu Lord!
So......
Prepare to bear the wrath of Lord Danbe.
Duan Pishan looked at the trembling generals below, and stood up suddenly, the battle armor on his body rattling.
The crowd below hurriedly looked up.
Duan Pishan said in a deep voice: "You also know that the recent battle situation of our Duan Department is not good, but this is a trivial matter. Because even if we are defeated, we can still go east, Murong has promised me, as long as I can surrender to Murong, I will be the king of Duan, I will still lead the old department, I can get a huge fief in Xilin, so you can still enjoy the wealth with me. ”
The eyes of the generals below flashed with consternation, and then joy.
"But that's not including the crumbs of betrayal! I've decided to teach the mischievous people a lesson, I'm going to tear them apart! ”
"Duanbe's son! Cut off children's heads with your scimitars! Shoot your arrows through the man's chest! Trample a woman's body with your warhorses! ”
"Troops! Kill them all! Grab them all!
The generals stood up one after another, waving their fists and roaring.
"Kill them all!"
"Rob them all!"
......
Xie Shenwei took a letter, looked at it, and handed it to Zhou Jinmian beside him contemptuously.
Zhou Jinmian said with a smile after reading it: "There are nearly 3,000 people in the He Lou Department who can get on the horse now, and they will be killed by 2,000 people in Duan Pishan until they lose their armor, which is really incorrigible." ”
Xie Shenwei said: "It's not that Duan Pishan is too strong, but that he He Lou is too wasteful." ”
Zhou Jinmian thought for a while and said, "Since Duan Pishan has gone crazy, then we have to speed up, in case He Lou can't keep the little marquis......"
Xie Shenwei pursed his lips indifferently and said, "It's not necessarily in the hands of He Lou's family." ”
Zhou Jinmian looked at the cavalry behind him and said, "Be fully prepared." If He Lou resists, then kill him. ”
Xie Shenwei did not speak, expressing his acquiescence.
......
In the imperial garden of Chang'an City, the capital of Qin, Emperor Qin held a banquet to entertain ministers, and in the corridor and pavilion, several beauties danced, and the monarchs and ministers sometimes raised their glasses to toast.
Emperor Qin looked at Baili with a smile on his face and said, "Dasi Nong is really calculating. ”
Bai Lidu smiled slightly and did not speak.
Zhang said with a smile: "In this way, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom will definitely be centrifuged, and Xie Yi must no longer be able to stop General Bai with peace of mind." ”
Baili Dui said: "Not necessarily, the old man's plan can't be hidden for long, once he is caught by the Jin people, it will still be of no help to General Bai." ”
Emperor Qin asked, "Is there a flaw in this plan?" ”
Baili Tui stroked his beard and said, "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts." Where there really is a flawless scheme. Not to mention that there is any gap between Emperor Jin and the Xie family, as long as one of the horsemen escapes the blockade, then this plan can be regarded as broken. ”
Emperor Qin frowned and said, "Then send more people and be sure to block that road." ”
Baili waved his hand and said, "That road has been let go by me." By now, the Jin people should have known the news that although the Tiqi attack on the Erli people was successful, it also failed. ”
The attack on Erli was successful, but Xie Shence and the others did not escape.
Emperor Jin was puzzled: "What does Dasi Nong mean by this? Wouldn't it be better for the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom to continue to misunderstand? ”
"No, no, no. Your Majesty, hundreds of horsemen, even if they rely on the blockade of the beehive and the Erli people, they can't completely stop their footsteps to the south, and the more the blockade, the more the Jin people can find out, and then cause more casualties. Since this is the case, the old man will be a favor, and the old man will put back the Tiqi and take the initiative to help them reconcile. In this way, it will be more beneficial to my Great Qin. ”
The white-haired old general, who had never spoken, said: "In this way, isn't Da Si Nong waiting to involve my Great Qin in this matter?" ”
Emperor Qin was puzzled.
Baili stroked his beard and smiled silently.
Zhang Shuo lowered his head for a moment, raised his head and laughed, clapped his hands, and said, "The old man really has a bad heart. ”
Emperor Qin looked inexplicably wonderful, and said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Zhang Qing, hurry up! ”
Zhang Shuo smiled and arched his hand: "Please let the minister solve your majesty's doubts, and see if what I said is right or not." ”
Baili nodded in agreement.
