Chapter 490: Xu Dao Comes to Vote
That night, Wei Feng was depressed and borrowed into the cold quilt, and when he got up the next morning, he felt that Yecheng was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
On the one hand, since Yongjia, Ye Li, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, the Qian Zhao, the Ran Wei State, the Yan State and the Wei State and other forces have been constantly changing hands and destroying for nearly two hundred years, and this former largest city in Hebei and his people have experienced too much suffering.
Ye is said to have been built in Qi Huan Gong, reached its peak in the Cao Wei period, as one of the capitals of Cao Wei, not only the city is solid and gorgeous, but also outside the city to build the golden phoenix, the bronze bird, the ice well three platforms, is the symbol of Cao Wei's strong national strength.
However, since Yongjia, although Ye has become the capital of Zhao, Ran Wei and Qianyan, it is precisely because of this that it has suffered a catastrophe far beyond the cities of Hebei, Jinfeng, Tongque, and Bingjing have long disappeared in addition to three huge mounds of earth and rubble scattered around, and Ye's city is smoky and burning everywhere, cracks and potholes are everywhere, and the city is also full of ruins.
And all of this, to this day, seems to be coming to an end!
Sure enough, Wei Feng did not disappoint the people of Ye, the fifteen taxes and one year, the annual service made no more than ten days, and the cancellation of the military household system was announced, which immediately caused a thunderous roar of joy, especially although the military household system was canceled, and the soldiers were no longer forced, but the people of Hebei still spontaneously joined the army, they needed to keep the fruits of this victory, and they no longer wanted to experience war!
Although many of the people of Hebei came from the Qiang, Shi, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Ding Ling and other Hu, they lived together with the Jin people for hundreds of years. The bloodlines have long been fused, and at this moment, since Hebei has returned to the Jin family, they also treat themselves as Jin people.
In fact, the blood of the population under Wei Feng's rule was not pure, and the soldiers who followed him in the early days had some Shanyue genes in their blood, and then a large number of Peninsula women were captured, and the offspring born naturally contained the characteristics of Peninsula people, and then there were Jiaozhou slang women, Linyi women, and a small number of Tuoba women joined. The chaos of blood is jaw-dropping. But what's the point? This era is an era of ethnic integration, nothing more than more violence and blood, and what Wei Feng has to do is to make the population under his rule a strong race. To forcibly fuse the bloodlines of the weaker races!
And Liu Xingnan and Wang Daolian got up in pairs. It seems to be infected with the joyful atmosphere all over Yecheng. Qiao Mian also looked beaming, and after having breakfast in a hurry, he was about to take Wei Feng out of the city for a walk. A dominatrix came with a strange look, and said, "General, don't come to visit Jiangzhou with Xu Daofu, the last general has arranged for him to serve tea in the main hall." ”
"Oh?" Wei Feng was really surprised, on the first day of the first month of January, Xu Daofu came to visit, what does this mean?
Wang Daolian hurriedly said: "General, now that you are powerful, Lu Xu and the Beifu Army have a grudge against He Wuji, and Jiangzhou is in a difficult situation, you have to take care of the concubine, it is impossible for these two not to understand, Xu Daofu is likely to come to ask for surrender, this is a good sign, you go and take a look, the concubine and Xingnan can go out by themselves." ”
"Hmm!" Wei Feng nodded and walked towards the main hall.
After a while, he saw a man in Tsing Yi sitting upright on one side in the hall, although he was sitting in a very upright posture and his face was very calm, but the occasional flickering of his eyes betrayed his inner unrest, which was Xu Daofu who was secretly sneaked from Wuchang.
After learning that Wei Feng had slashed Tuoba Yi and obtained the entire territory of Hebei, Xu Daofu had already understood that he couldn't wait, and he had to talk openly and honestly with Wei Feng, so he quietly left Wuchang, sneaked all the way, and inquired about Wei Feng's whereabouts in many ways, and finally came to Ye on the first day of the first month.
It's just that Xu Daofu doesn't know how Lu Dao Weifeng will treat him, although he can't talk about deep hatred, but he has besieged Yangxian and Shanyin, and he is inevitably apprehensive!
Far away, Wei Feng arched his hand and smiled: "Who am I, it turned out that Cousin Fu came in person, although you and I have never really met, but we have passed by many times, I wonder if Cousin Fu and Lu Zhijun have been okay in recent years?" ”
To tell the truth, Xu Daofu had never seen Wei Feng, and at this time, he subconsciously raised his eyes, Wei Feng smiled slightly, looking harmless to humans and animals, no one could have imagined that such a person would sweep across the country in just a few years, and become a hegemon-level figure who everyone talks about!
With full emotion, Xu Daofu got up and saluted back: "Thank you for your concern, Daofu and his brother-in-law have just struggled to save their lives over the years. ”
While speaking, Wei Feng had already entered the main hall, looked at Xu Daofu, and said lightly: "Cousin Fu can come on the first day of the first month of the first month, I am both happy and not surprised, Cousin Fu is an understanding person, presumably before coming to Lu Envoy Jun has fully considered the pros and cons, in this way, I am not a small person, the previous thing is nothing more than the success and defeat of the king, I can't say who is right and wrong, the past is over, today I only put forward one request, after the unification of the world, you and Lu Envoy Jun must give up military power and serve in my new dynasty, what the lawsuit will be, it will be determined by the ability of the two of you." , this is the only condition, and it is also a necessary condition, and the cousin can be decided! ”
Xu Daofu's heart was suddenly relieved, and he had discussed with Lu Xun before he came, military power is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, with the strength of Wei Feng, how can he allow an uncontrollable force to exist under his rule? If you want to survive, you can only give up military power, he has already reached a consensus with Lu Xun, but he didn't expect that Wei Feng's requirements would be so low!
Xu Daofu gave a heartfelt salute: "Since the general is refreshing, Daofu can also respond on behalf of his brother-in-law, and another Daofu has a reluctant request, Daofu is willing to lead some Jiangzhou soldiers to follow the general, earn a war merit for them, and also the long-cherished wish of the whole Daofu to fight the world!" ”
"Oh?" Wei Feng said quietly: "Fighting with Hu Lu, life and death are unpredictable, aren't you afraid that I will use you as the first to use?" ”
Xu Daofu said in a hurry: "The general said that he laughed, there has never been a first in the general's army, if this precedent is set by the Tao, the Taoist is willing to be punished!" ”
"Good!" Wei Feng Ha Lu Ha Da said with a smile: "You come from afar, go to the dust, and live in Ji for a few more days, I will make you the general of the conquest, and lead the army to Zhongshan within half a year!" ”
"Subordinates take orders!" Xu Daofu bowed deeply!
Xu Daofu stayed in Ye for three days, hurried to Wuchang on the fourth day of the first month, and Wei Feng also left Ye half a month later, from Ye to Zhongshan for about 800 miles, and on the twenty-eighth day of the first month, Wei Feng returned to Zhongshan.
On the one hand, Zhongshan was once used as the capital of Yan, the city was wide, and the palace was complete, on the other hand, Zhongshan was close to Bai Yangze, and people may not realize what a large lake with a radius of thousands of miles means, but in the eyes of Wei Feng, this is an extremely valuable wealth, and the Jizhou Prefecture is located in Zhongshan, which can develop Bai Yangze and provide rich aquatic products and aquatic cash crops for the people of North China.
Wei Feng and Xu Daofu's agreement is half a year, only about four months, Xu Daofu has led 20,000 foot soldiers to Tianjin by boat, and then from Tianjin to Zhongshan, for Xu Daofu's troops, Wei Feng did not break up and reorganize, just re-equip and apply strict training, now, Wei Feng's soldiers in Hebei have their own army of 75,000, Xu Daofu 20,000, Hebei 60,000, a total of 155,000, of which 50,000 are stationed in Hebei.
As for the war horses, Wei Feng originally had more than 80,000 horses, Wang Zhenwei obtained more than 20,000 horses when he recovered the twelve counties in northwest Henan, a total of about 110,000 horses, of which 10,000 were left for the four states of Jiaoguang, Zhejiang, and Yizhou, Jingzhou because Nanyang bordered the Qin State, so 10,000 horses were left in Jiangling, 20,000 horses were left in Nanyang, and there were thousands of horses scattered in various places for other purposes or old age and injury eliminated and changed to farming.
Fighting with Tuoba Yi, Wei Feng didn't get a single horse, but Xiang Mi ambushed Zhongshan reinforcements, obtained more than 70,000 war horses on the spot, and then scattered to find the war horses that were collected and suppressed with various cities in Hebei, about 30,000 horses, that is to say, Wei Feng's war horses exceeded 150,000!
In Hebei, the position of Fangtou (now Jun County, Henan) is extremely important, after the Han Dynasty Jian'an nine years (AD 204), Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shang, surrounded Ye, in the Qishui into the Yellow River estuary with a large fang wood as a weir, to curb the Qi water into the white ditch, increase the amount of water, in order to facilitate the transport, Fangtou got its name from this, also became a connection to the Yellow River, Qishui, Baigou and Qinghe, to ensure the transportation hub of Hebei Caoyun, Fangtou area, is the most dense area of the Yellow River ferry.
Shile from the north of the river to Jizhou, that is, the route of Fangtou, Huan Wen's third northern expedition to Yanguo, is also through the Fangtou march, and Fangtou across the river is Puyang, Puyang is an important city on the south bank of the Yellow River, currently in the hands of the Beifu army, so Wei Feng left 10,000 horses in Fangtou, and the defenders 15,000.
Another strategic point is the line from Ye to Xiangguo, which corresponds to the important pass of Taihang Mountain, although Wei Feng will not attack Wei for the time being, but to prevent Wei from sneaking up on Hebei, so Wei Feng on the one hand in the mountain pass out of the pass to build a beacon, on the other hand, in Ye and Xiangguo each left 10,000 war horses and a sufficient number of defenders.
In addition to Wei Feng leaving the necessary war horses for the cities of Hebei, now he has 110,000 direct war horses and 105,000 troops, although the wheat in Hebei is about to be harvested, there are also Huiji, and even the grain and rice in Jiaozhou are transferred to Zhongshan through Huiji, but the huge amount of grain and rice consumption every day still makes his heart bleed, so Wei Feng can no longer stay in Zhongshan, he must attack thistle, and he must choose to attack before the wheat harvest, so that he can harvest the wheat of the Yan people!
On April 25, Wei Feng was discussing the details of the attack on Ji with generals Xu Daofu, Xian Enzhuo, Xiang Mi, and Jiang Xuan, when Li Zhu suddenly appeared at the gate of the palace and said, "General Yu, there is a letter from Yan Guo. ”
"Oh?" Wei Feng beckoned: "Take it and take a look." ”
"Yes!" Li Zhu stepped into the hall and handed the letter to Wei Feng. (To be continued......)
