Chapter 34: The Schemes of the Chu Palaces (2)
Zhou said: "The prince of Chu said that since nearly half of the people of the Qiang and Qiang tribes have migrated to Xingping City, there is no need to move out. It's just that the houses and property that have been seized by the Han people must be returned. The more than 10,000 people imprisoned in the Xingping City Prison will be released before the army retreats to Luoyang. In the future, if you live with the Han people, you must live in harmony with the Han people, and no unpleasant things will happen. ”
Pu Huaigui and Yang Feilong nodded again.
Zhou said: "Also, General Pu, the more than 20,000 horses under your command, the prince of Chu means ......" He glanced at Pu Huaigui as he spoke.
Pu Huaigui's heart tightened, knowing that the king of Chu was afraid of his 20,000 well-equipped standing army, but he was really reluctant to disband the army, after all, with the army in hand, the king of Chu would rely on him a lot, and he had a lot of confidence to speak. But would the king of Chu allow an alien army to exist independently? …… He thought for a while, but after all, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty understands, I will order the disbandment of the army tomorrow." ”
Zhou Shi said with a smile: "Who told you to disband the army?" What the prince of Chu meant was that the Xianbei tribe in the north was becoming more and more rampant, and in recent days, they had frequently harassed the frontier in the south. Since General Pu can fight well, he wants General Feng Pu to be the general of Diqiang Zhonglang, lead the army to the north, cooperate with the Jin army on the frontier, and block Xianbei together. ”
When Pu Huaigui heard that he was not asked to disband the army, but to let him lead the army to the battle, he was immediately overjoyed, and after a little thought, he stood up and bowed his head and said: "Please Lord Chu, General Zhou rest assured, after three days of finishing up the army and horses, he will lead the army to the frontier and clear the frontier for my Great Jin!" ”
Zhou Chu nodded, and said to Yang Feilong: "Lord Yang, Lord Chu intends to let Lord Yang take the position of Xingping City Court, I don't know what Lord Yang wants?" ”
Yang Feilong hurriedly stood up and thanked him, but the sense of loss in his heart arose spontaneously, this Tingpeng is a subordinate official of the county order, although Xingping City is a big city, this Tingpeng will also be a figure with a head and a face in the city, but after all, it is difficult to compare with Pu Huaigui's position as a general of Diqiang Zhonglang.
He couldn't see it, and then said, "If the two adults are fine, let's go back first." ”
Pu Huaigui and Yang Feilong arched his hand to Zhou and the three Sima brothers, and walked out.
Sima Ting saw the flicker of loss in Yang Feilong's eyes, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, secretly puzzled, and didn't know what his father's idea was. The rewards for the two are so inconsistent, isn't this a renegade?!
When the two of them went out, Sima Yi staggered towards Zhou and asked, "Lord Zhou, why didn't my father remove Pu Huaigui's military power?" He has 20,000 horses in his hands, but he is afraid that he will support his own troops in the future, and he may not be able to come out with another Qi Wannian! ”
Zhou looked at Sima Yi, and couldn't help but feel high for Chu Wangwei, the third child of the Chu Palace, after the tempering of the battlefield, is no longer a swinger brother who is full of money and drinking, and he has a lot of thoughtful thinking, which is really gratifying!
I only heard Sima Ting shake his head and say, "Third brother! You just know one thing, you don't know the other. Almost all the people of the Qiang and Qiang tribes are soldiers, gathering in wartime, but grazing cattle and sheep in leisure time. Father Feng Pu Huai returned to a Zhonglang general, and asked him to take 20,000 elite divisions to the frontier to fight the enemy, which was a way to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only alleviate the crisis in the frontier, but also facilitate our control over the Qiang and Qiang tribes.
The Qiang and Qiang ethnic groups have long since gradually given up their nomadic herding, moved to live in the city, learned the way of life of the Han people, and now almost all of them have moved into the city. Think about it! Without the 20,000 most elite Diqiang army, hehe, as long as we stationed 10,000 horses in Xingping City, we can firmly control the Diqiang and Qiang clans in the city. When the time comes, the 20,000 horses and horses that Pu Huaigui is on the frontier will dare not serve us to the death?! ”
Sima Yi nodded again and again after hearing this: "Old Seven, hearing you say this, I think our father is really scheming!" ”
Zhou glanced at Sima Ting appreciatively, this Prince Ting can be regarded as the most outstanding among the four sons of Chu Wangwei! In the future, he will definitely be able to help Chu Wangwei achieve a great cause! So he smiled and said, "What Prince Ting said is exact." At present, the Qiang people are already extremely sinicized, and it is said that many new generations of Qiang teenagers can no longer speak the Qiang language. Now let them live with the Han people in Xingping City and other cities, and if it doesn't take decades to continue, the Qiang people are afraid that they will disappear from the world. ”
"Wonderful! It's wonderful! Sima Yi stroked his palms exaggeratedly and laughed.
Sima Ting also admired his father's foresight, this soft knife was slowly cut down, with a population of hundreds of thousands of Qiang people, sooner or later it would be integrated into the vast sea of the Han nation, and he couldn't help laughing: "Lord Zhou, I don't know who is going to lead the troops to be stationed in Xingping City?" ”
Zhou Chu smiled and said, "Xiao Zhengteng!" ”
Sima Ting showed a playful smile on his face: "Lord Zhou, when did this Xiao Zhengteng come to the door of our Chu Wangfu?" ”
Zhou Chu smiled and said: "Actually, this Xiao Zhengteng has always been a member of our Chu Palace. It's just that the prince of Chu has never mentioned it to His Royal Highness. ”
Sima Ting sighed, only to feel that his father's figure is getting taller and taller, his father has been operating in Jingzhou for decades, and there are still many forces in this Chu Wangfu that he doesn't know?
After a little hesitation, he asked again: "Lord Zhou, what does this Yang Feilong think of his father?" Why did you give a Tingpeng? Wouldn't it be too small? At that time, I promised Yang Feilong that his status would not be lower than Pu Huaigui. ”
Zhou Chu said with a smile: "Among the remaining Diqiang leaders now, only Yang Feilong and Pu Huaigui can be calm, and Pu Huaigui wants to go to the frontier, so Yang Feilong can only be used." The prince of Chu asked Yang Feilong to take the position of Tingpeng because now that the Qiang tribe has just returned to his heart, someone needs to suppress the Qiang and Qiang tribes, so as not to cause trouble at that time.
When the Qiang tribe gradually stabilized, he gave Yang Feilong a Beijing official and transferred Yang Feilong from Xingping. Hehe, when the time comes, the Qiang people will have no leader, isn't it what we want? Well...... Presumably, Qi Wannian will find His Highness tomorrow, and then it will depend on His Highness's means. ”
Sima Ting suddenly felt that he was too tender compared to old foxes like King Chu and Zhou Chu, so he could only give a thumbs up, and smiled in admiration: "High!" It's really high! ”
