Chapter 162: Qingji Conflict
It is said that since Cao Wei sat firmly in the position of Qingzhou Thorn History, his small life has been moistened. In addition to playing with his wife and concubine every day, only the construction of Guanggu City is worthy of his attention. After nearly two years, after the initial construction of Guanggu City was finally completed, Cao Wei was busy moving the Qingzhou Governance Office from Linzi to Guanggu City.
At the beginning of Cao Wei's possession of Qingzhou, he had the intention of living in a place of all Qi and regulating the trend of Dingzhi, so it was manifested in the choice of the political center, and the geographical center was bound to be the upper choice, and Guanggu City fully met this condition.
In order to celebrate this event, Cao Wei held a feast in the new mansion of Guanggu City, and feasted all the civil and military personnel and local celebrities in Qingzhou.
At the banquet, Cao Wei enjoyed the beautiful dancing of the dancing girls and tasted delicious wine. Somehow, I suddenly remembered Weishuo, Guanggu City was able to complete the main construction in just two years, and it was not unrelated to the cement and financial support provided by Weishuo.
However, since the last time he said goodbye to Linzi, Cao Wei has never seen Wei Shuo again. It's just that every New Year's holiday, Wei Shuo will give him rich gifts. For Wei Shuo's filial piety, Cao Wei is very useful. And he also fulfilled the responsibility of being a boss, within the scope of his authority, Cao Wei took good care of Laoshan businessmen.
However, Laoshan has reaped a lot of benefits through green salt, roasted tea, and cement every year, which has long caused Qingzhou to be blushing. It was only because Cao Wei had been pressing, and Laoshan had an elite escort in hand, that many people's ambitions to covet Laoshan were dispelled.
"Brother Tian, what did you say Wei Shuo was busy with recently? Why haven't you heard anything from him? Itching, Cao Wei lowered his head and asked Tian Hua, the old subordinate beside him.
Shi Tianhua, who was enjoying himself, suddenly heard Cao Wei's question, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Back to the lord, the minister doesn't know the details of Lord Wei, but there is a rumor that I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
"Huh? What kind of rumors made Brother Tian so embarrassed? Cao Wei was surprised.
"The lord is just because this rumor is too unbelievable, you also know that the humble position has always served as the post of Le'an's domestic history, stationed in the northwest of Qingzhou, adjacent to Jizhou Leling Country and Pingyuan Country. Recently, General Shi and Wang Jun fought for Jizhou, and their subordinates have been following the orders of the lord, only protecting the territory and the people, but never intervening in the Jizhou dispute. ”
"You're doing a great job, but what does that have to do with the rumors?"
"My lord, my subordinates have taken in a lot of fugitives and scholars from Jizhou in Le'an Country, and I once learned from them a rumor that shocked Zaixia." Speaking of this, Tian Hua glanced up at Cao Wei with some hesitation.
"Say, what the hell is the rumor?"
"According to a scholar from Jizhou, there is a person named Wei Shuo in Liaodong, under the banner of the Jin Dynasty, in the name of Dongyi Captain and Liaodong Taishou, unified the four counties of Liaodong, Daifang, Lelang, and Xuansu, and even drove out of Liaodong the brother-in-law of Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou in Jin, Pingzhou Assassin Shi Cui Yu!"
"What?! This...... How is this possible? Cao Wei was shocked, he couldn't believe that the little Yantian envoy, who had been unknown for nearly two years, had been hiding in Liaodong to fight in the west.
Tian Hua smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the lord happened to ask me about Lord Wei's news today, I wouldn't dare to tell the lord about this rumor." However, my lord, as the saying goes: there is no wind and no waves! Whether this is true or not, we must be on guard! ”
Cao Wei nodded silently when he heard this, he could tolerate Wei Shuo hiding in Laoshan to make a windfall, but he did not allow Wei Shuo to master a huge army. Because the latter is enough to threaten Cao Wei's rule in Qingzhou, Cao Wei looked at Wei Shuo differently before, but Wei Shuo was no threat to him.
But if the rumor Tian Hua said is true, then Wei Shuo's scheming is too terrible. Cao Wei really has no ambitions, but if someone really threatens his status in Qingzhou, then Cao Wei will also kill people. It's a pity that Cao Wei didn't know that far away on the Qinghai-Hebei border, there was a conflict that no one expected.
Shao Xu was discussing important matters with his nephew Wuyi Shi Shao in Fuping City, when he was suddenly interrupted by a rush of footsteps, only to see a person hurriedly break in, knelt on the ground and said hurriedly: "Lord Qiyu, there is an urgent report from the south, our army and the Qingzhou army clashed a few days ago over the issue of displaced people, and dozens of casualties have been caused so far. ”
"What!? How could there be a conflict with Qingzhou? Shao Xu, Shao Cun's uncle and nephew were shocked when they heard this.
The west and north sides of Leling are already facing strong pressure from Shile's side, and if they fight with Qingzhou in the south, they will really be enemies on all sides! is about to face such a dangerous situation, how can Shao Xu not be in a hurry?
After some understanding, Shao Xu finally figured out the ins and outs. The conflict was mainly triggered by the displacement, since Shile invaded Jizhou, causing a large number of Jizhou people to flee south. But after Shao continued to arrive at Ren Leling, he knew that the people were important, and they were the source of taxes and soldiers, so he took many measures to prevent the people from fleeing.
In addition to attracting the people through tuntian and tax cuts, Shao Xu also sent troops to intercept the fleeing people at the border. It didn't matter if he intercepted it, but he greatly offended Qingzhou. Le'an Neishi Tianhua knew that his lord was just to build Guanggu City and lack of youth and strength, and he saw that a large number of Jizhou people had fled to Qingzhou, so he was naturally happy to accept it.
Unexpectedly, with the strengthening of the guard in Leling in the north, fewer and fewer people in Jizhou fled to Le'an. Later, he learned that it was Leling's troublemaker, Tian Hua was furious and ordered the army to go north to rob the displaced people, and the two sides were restrained at first, but in the end it caused the latest conflict.
After the conflict broke out, it was the Leling side that was the first to react, and Shao Xu immediately ordered the army in the south to strengthen its vigilance to prevent the Qingzhou army from taking the opportunity to go north, and at the same time sent his nephew Shao Cun to personally sit on the southern front.
Compared with Leling, Le'an's response was much worse. Since Neishi Tian Hua was attending the banquet held by the Assassin in Guanggu City, the people below did not dare to make decisions on their own, so they quickly sent the news to Guanggu City and handed it over to Tian Hua or Assassin Shi to deal with.
When Cao Wei and Tian Hua received the urgent report, seven days had passed since the conflict broke out. Fortunately, Shao Xu's strength is insufficient, and he has no intention of seeking Qingzhou, if it is replaced by Shile, presumably the northern counties of Qingzhou have already fallen at this time.
"Shao continues to offend me in Qingzhou? That's impossible! Tian Hua threw aside the urgent report in his hand and assured Cao Wei very confidently.
"Why did Tian Uchi Shi decide that Shao Xu didn't dare to offend me Qingzhou?"
"You don't know, when Tian was stationed in Le'an for a long time, he knew the reality of the north. That Shao Xu was originally Wang Jun's confidant, but he was forced to surrender to our Xiongnu Han Kingdom because he was forced by General Shi later. But I learned that Shao Xu has always cherished the Jin family and disobeyed General Shi. ”
And General Shi didn't trust Shao Xu very much, not only did he bind his son to his side as a hostage, but also covered Leling with eyeliner to prevent elbow and armpit trouble. Under this crisis, how can you say that Shao Xu still has the courage to provoke us Qingzhou again? ”
Cao Wei was very satisfied with Tian Hua's analysis, and to be honest, he didn't take this unexpected conflict to heart. Although Cao Wei didn't dare to offend Shi Le, he didn't take a little Shao Xu in his eyes. The reason why he called everyone here was just that he was a little worried that Shi Le would take the opportunity to go south to Qingzhou.
"Actually, Shao Xu can't be worried, only General Shi is a strong opponent! Lord, in fact, you might as well learn from Liu Biao during the Three Kingdoms, we can compare Shao Xu to Wancheng Zhang Xiu, with him, there is a buffer between you and General Shi, and we are not better than facing the threat of General Shi. ”
"Well, the history of Tanuchi is reasonable, and this matter will be left to you to deal with."
After everyone left, Cao Wei left Tian Hua alone.
"Does the lord want me to inquire about something related to Lord Wei?"
"Well, if you don't find out the details of Wei Shuo, Cao is not at ease. We finally have the foundation of Qingzhou, and Cao never wants to be destroyed by anyone. ”
At present, Cao Wei has not lost all his blood in Gentle Township, and he is not the one who was so frightened that he wanted to surrender the city when he heard that Shi Hu was coming ten years later, and now he still cares about his own territory.
