115, Hu people are mercenaries
Bai Ziyun asked, "Where is Xianbei Hulu going now?" ”
Xia Yu hurriedly replied: "I just received a report from the scout, the Xianbei cavalry has already headed north, and the target should be Yuyang County." ”
Bai Ziyun asked again: "Did your scouts see thousands of cavalry with white horses and white armor on the road?" ”
Xia Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know, but please rest assured, the scout two pillars of incense come back to report once, please wait for a while, you can see them, and then you can ask in detail." ”
"Okay." Bai Ziyun nodded slightly, and accompanied Xia Yu to the mansion, where a large number of officials were gathered.
At this time, Liu He stepped forward and said respectfully: "Liu He, an ordinary man, has seen His Excellency. ”
Bai Ziyun had already seen him, and when he saw him, he came up to say hello, so he smiled and said, "Liu Gongzi don't come to harm?" ”
Liu Hejun's face was flushed, and he said ashamedly: "Last year, I repeatedly offended the honorable lord at the banquet in Zhuoxian County, and the kid was young and ignorant, so please forgive the honorable sins." ”
At Liu Ji's celebration banquet for Gongsun Zan last year, Liu He saw that Bai Ziyun's magic stick was not pleasing to the eye, and repeatedly sarcastically mocked Bai Ziyun, Bai Ziyun just glanced at him, and he was scared to the point that he was full of urine, and his face was lost.
"It's okay, it's just a few jokes." Bai Ziyun smiled magnanimously.
Liu He naturally thanked him again and again, but he didn't dare to say more, but he looked like he wanted to say something and stopped, Bai Ziyun didn't see it, and continued to chat with Xia Yu.
Suddenly, Liu He took a step forward. Bent on his knees and fell to his knees. He pleaded, "Your Excellency, please save my father's life." ”
The crowd fell silent. Qi Qi looked at the two of them, Bai Ziyun frowned slightly and said, "Well, Liu Yuanjun?" What's going on? Why didn't you see him? Only then did he realize that he hadn't seen Liu Yu, Liu Yu was the assassin of Youzhou, and he was of the same level as Taishou, but he didn't appear, and it seemed that Taishou of Yanguo didn't seem to be there.
"Also, why don't you see the Taishou of Guangyang County?" Bai Ziyun asked.
Guangyang County is the country of Yan. Also known as Guangyang State, in the Qin Dynasty set up a county state, Ji County. Han Gaozu Liu Bang set up the Yan State, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuanzhan six years, the crown prince Liu Dan as the King of Yan, set up the Yan State, the capital of thistle. This is the origin of the Yan Kingdom.
Yan was established for hundreds of years, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Guangyang County, but this title is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This name is generally used by the people.
Xia Yu said in a low voice: "The former Taishou has been dismissed, but the new Taishou has been delayed in the future, and he is afraid that he will encounter a war and dare not take on heavy responsibilities." It's delayed. Now it is Liu Yuanjun who also serves as the Taishou of Guangyang County. Then he told Liu Yu in detail about being lured into the hands of the enemy by the handsome Xianbei handsome Murong Feng.
Bai Ziyun was speechless for a moment, they would all be deceived by such a simple trick, and their minds were really straw. How can this IQ play with the strategists of the Three Kingdoms, it can't be compared with the strategists and wise generals of the Three Kingdoms period at all.
In fact. It is not yet the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, and ethics have not collapsed. It is not an era full of scheming and unscrupulous means, scholars and doctors are very important to faithfulness, Liu Yu and others will compare their hearts with their hearts, coupled with the rush to attack, they will be so easy to be deceived.
Liu He kowtowed again and said, "Please ask for your father's life!" ”
Bai Ziyun was silent for a while and said, "Okay." ”
Although Liu Yu is a little pedantic, his character is not bad, and Bai Ziyun feels that he should be saved.
"Xie Zunshang!" Liu He was overjoyed and thanked.
Xia Yu solemnly saluted and said solemnly: "Yesterday, tens of thousands of Xianbei Hulukou City, Liu Yuanjun was plundered, thousands of people were threatened, I am like the meat of the chopping board, the people are panicked, the Supreme descended from the sky, saved our lives, please accept my wait." ”
"Please wait for me!" And they knelt and prostrate.
"You don't have to be polite, Hu Lu is cruel and unkind, mad, full of crimes, like animals, is a well-deserved demon, I will stay in the fairy gate to subdue demons and eliminate demons, eliminate harm for the people, and do the way for heaven, this is the way of justice that we cultivate, and it is also the main purpose of our practice." Bai Ziyun talked eloquently, his eyes flashed, and suddenly he changed his words and said, "Well, I'm hungry, Captain Xia will help me prepare some food, it's more." ”
Xia Yu was slightly stunned, this transformation was too fast, and he was not suitable for it, so he settled down and said, "Since Your Excellency has not dined, I will wait for the banquet to Your Excellency." ”
Bai Ziyun waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome as setting up a banquet, just prepare a hundred catties of meat for me." ”
Xia Yu was surprised and asked, "One hundred catties?" Is there anyone else? Why didn't I see them? ”
"No, I'm just going to eat alone, one meal. I can't delay the time now, just whatever, be fast! Bai Ziyun smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Everyone was so shocked that their eyes were about to fall, and sure enough, he was a god, and his appetite was very comparable.
"No! Let's do it," Xia Yu stammered, and hurriedly ordered to prepare meat for Bai Ziyun.
Although Bai Ziyun said that the food was casual, Xia Yu did not dare to be sloppy and ordered his chefs to prepare delicious dishes.
Before the food was ready, the scout finally came back and reported the military situation to Xia Yu and the others.
"Captain Xia, on the way north, tens of thousands of iron cavalry were attacked by thousands of white horses and white-armored cavalry, and after a big battle, they abandoned their armor and fled in embarrassment." The scout said.
"Good!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and Xia Yu asked, "Do you know that the thousands of cavalry warriors are the soldiers and horses?" ”
Before the scout could answer, Bai Ziyun smiled and said, "That's my cavalry from the Immortal Gate." ”
Xia Yu exclaimed: "The disciples of the Venerable Sect are really gods, and with the help of the Venerable Sect and the Changliu Immortal Sect, it is easy to kill all the Hulu." ”
Bai Ziyun shook his head and said: "Although my three thousand cavalry are invincible in close combat, their armor is too heavy, and their horse speed and endurance are not as good as the Xianbei cavalry. Is there a cavalry in Jixian County? ”
Xia Yu's heart moved, and he said helplessly: "Most of my Han are infantry, and the cavalry is also on the border, and the cavalry near here is only 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry. Without His Majesty's holy decree, he will not dare to exceed the system. ”
Bai Ziyun was slightly stunned. Displeased: "Now that the military situation is urgent, doesn't Xia Yu know that he will act outside the camera?" ”
Xia Yu smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency has misunderstood. I naturally know that the generals will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, but those Wuhuan cavalry are different from our Han army, they are nominally subordinate to our Han Dynasty, but they are not subject to the control of our Han court, and completely ignore the legal system of our Han Dynasty. The people of my Jixian family are quite wealthy and can give it, but we do not have this right to this land, so we have to give it to Your Majesty. ”
"What? Selling land? ”
Bai Ziyun almost jumped up in surprise, and then reacted that the ancients and the modern people had different concepts of the land, and the people of today were educated by the country, and they treated the land for no reason. Not an inch of land is allowed, but the ancient kings and officials regarded the frontier land mainly to protect the inland and the country, and there is no other use, if these lands can be exchanged for peace. Will not hesitate to give it away or throw it away.
Isn't the thousands of miles of fertile land in the west of the state given to the Southern Xiongnu in exchange for the attachment of the Southern Xiongnu? But every time you fight, you also have to pay a lot of money. The Han Dynasty invited the Hu people to fight. At the cost of paying the price, the Hu people exchanged their lives for it. This kind of trade is like that of mercenaries in the West, each side takes what it wants. In Bai Ziyun's opinion, there is nothing to blame, but the court sold the land that his ancestors fought for with their blood in exchange, so he couldn't accept it.
Xia Yu said very bluntly, without the slightest concealment, perhaps in front of an immortal like Bai Ziyun, he didn't dare to fool him with the way the government deceived the people.
Bai Ziyun said in a deep voice: "Is there no other way? Doesn't it mean that Liu Yuanjun is very prestigious among the Hu people, and those Wuhuan people don't want to save Liu Yuanjun? ”
Xia Yu sneered: "Although Liu Yuanjun is not thin on the Hu people, but those cavalrymen are all outlaws who lick blood from the knife edge, ignoring kindness, and are insatiable, and they will not risk their lives if they don't give them what makes them happy." ”
"Something that pleases?" A cold light flashed in Bai Ziyun's eyes, and he sneered: "Do they want land?" ”
Xia Yu felt Bai Ziyun's anger, and hurriedly said: "I don't know this below, but Zun Shang is a celestial man in the upper realm, the immortal law is through the sky, and the magic power is vast, a few days ago, he burned the Xianbei Iron Horse, and yesterday he killed thousands of Hu Lu with a single sword, and the ghosts and gods wept earth-shatteringly, and the Wuhuan Hu people respected the ghosts and gods very much, and the Zun Shang opened his mouth, thinking that their leader did not dare to refuse." ”
Bai Ziyun's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? What is the name of their patriarch? ”
"His name is Qiu Liju, and he has just been in Jixian County recently, do you want to see him?"
"Okay, let him come to me."
"No!" Xia Yu hurriedly sent his officials to invite Qiu Liju.
Qiu Liju has a record in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that when Lord Karasuma of Liaoxi, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou rebelled, he attracted Zhang Chun, the Taishou of Zhongshan, to rebel against the imperial court, and Kou Luoqing, Xu, You, and Ji Prefectures, killing the people, and was majestic and powerful in the north of the Han Dynasty.
What makes Bai Ziyun funny is that this guy is looting on the border of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, he sends tribes to become "mercenaries" of the Han Dynasty.
Wuhuan and Xianbei are different, many Wuhuan tribes live together with the Han people, both herding horses and sheep, and digging wells and cultivating fields, half herding and half planting, but do not forget the old business, when the food is insufficient, they will go on horses and take knives to rob the Han people. Completely a pack of wild wolves that do not obey domestication.
As he spoke, the meat began to be delivered, Bai Ziyun ate and drank, he ate very quickly and violently, even if it was described as a wolf spitting out a tiger's throat, it seemed too weak, and he swallowed the palm-sized meat in two bites, swallowing dates like this, Xia Yuzhen was worried about whether his stomach could digest it.
A mountain of meat decreased at a very fast speed, and in less than half a burnt incense time, a hundred catties of meat were wiped out, of course, this hundred catties is the Han system, and in modern times it is actually fifty catties.
Looking at the empty table, everyone was dumbfounded, such a large amount of food, is it the embodiment of gluttony?
Bai Ziyun drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, people contain Qiankun, the higher the cultivation realm, the greater the Qiankun, and the amount of food will follow." ”
"I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.
At this time, the house slave came and bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, Captain Xia, Lord Wuhuan Qiu Liju will meet you!" ”
Bai Ziyun and Xia Yu glanced at each other and said, "Please!" (To be continued......)
