Chapter 531: Feudalism
In the fourth year of Wuxing, 500,000 troops of the grassland coalition army entered the Kou border pass, and it was difficult to enter the Yumen Pass at Yumen Pass.
The news was transmitted back to the land of Heluo in Guanzhong, which immediately caused an uproar.
No one expected that the Dawu Border Army would be so powerful, with only a few tens of thousands, or soldiers and horses scattered in dozens of cities, to stop the impact of the grassland coalition army of 500,000.
For a while, Li Jing, the general of the Wu Army who was personally stationed at Yumen Pass, became famous and was praised by the officials and people as a contemporary famous general, and he was in the limelight for a while.
You must know that at this time, it was not enough time for Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to be besieged in Yanmen County by a Turkic army of 300,000 in the eleventh year of the Great Cause.
Back then, 300,000 Turkic cavalry attacked like a tide, and in January, they even plugged 36 cities under the border, blocking Emperor Yang Guang of Sui on the line of the Great Wall in Yanmen County.
Regardless of whether there is any trick in it, the strength of the Turkic cavalry is recognized by the world, and it is a first-class strong army in the Eastern world.
Unexpectedly, the grassland coalition army, which was also based on 300,000 Turkic elite soldiers, stopped outside the Yumen Pass, and several battles were in vain, which made people feel incredible.
Many people and forces who wanted to see Emperor Wu's Lei Hu jokes were disappointed, and secretly scolded the grassland coalition army for being a waste, this time I am afraid that not only will it not be able to affect Emperor Wu's reputation, but I am afraid that it will also add to his reputation, which is simply unreasonable.
And the origin of the front-line general Li Jing was also easily known by the major forces, how could such a talented soldier not have much reputation before?
The world of Shuanglong in the Tang Dynasty is different from the official history, Li Jing did not use the name of his relative Han Baohu, he had already been linked to Yang Su, the king of Yue, and he enjoyed great fame at a young age.
No one expected that Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army would still have such a commander-level general hidden.
I'm afraid that Du Fuwei at this time regrets that his intestines are blue, right?
Just when the powerful forces of the family were secretly depressed, Emperor Wu Lei Hu suddenly summoned the heads of the gate valve family, including Li Yuan, Dugu Feng, Dugu Feng, and Yuwen Yuwen to discuss important matters.
The three frustrated gate valve owners were confused, but Emperor Wu summoned each other, but they didn't dare not go.
At present, the Great Wu Empire is no longer the world of the family gate lords, although the power of the family gate lords is still huge, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the officials from Jiangdong are rapidly seizing their power and territory.
If it was changed to the Great Sui period, the three major valves would have killed people a long time ago, and the majesty of the family gate valve could not be violated, and the emperor Lao Tzu would not have been able to do it!
It's a pity that now their identities are all losers, and the situation of Dugu Valve is better, but it is also very good, and Dugu Valve's power is not as good as before in the court, which is still the result of Dugu Valve's early collusion with Emperor Wu.
As for Li Valve and Yuwen Valve, they were serious defeated.
The strength in his hands is still strong, but it is a pity that his right to speak in the court has shrunk to the extreme.
The three families all knew in their hearts that if they continued like this, they were afraid that in a few decades, the power of the three families would completely decline rapidly from the top, which was not the result that the three families were willing to see.
It's just that Emperor Wu is powerful, and he is even stronger than Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui at the beginning, mainly because he doesn't have to rely on the powerful family, and his control over the world is too strong, so that it is almost difficult for them to breathe.
They didn't think that Emperor Wu would engage in liquidation, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to directly take advantage of the situation to destroy Li Valve and Yuwen Valve when the war was chaotic and hostile?
The lone valve is a family, and it is difficult to support the huge situation.
Since Emperor Wu has kept the power of the three major lords well, it is obvious that he will not play the trick of settling accounts after settling accounts, so there should be other arrangements.
When the three of them arrived at the side hall of the palace, there were already several 'acquaintances' sitting inside.
Du Fuwei, the former leader of the Jianghuai Army, and Fu Gongyou, the second leader, Lin Shihong, the former leader of the Poyang Gang, Xiao Xi, the former deputy leader of the Baling Gang, and Dou Jiande, the former leader of the Hebei Righteous Army, as well as the two heroes of the Yingyang faction, Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, the former Eastern Capital garrison Wang Shichong, and even the former leader of Wagangzhai Li Mi came, the general of Yishui.
Seeing the arrival of the three major gate valve masters, the gangsters who were staring at the side hall were even more confused, and they didn't understand what Emperor Wu was thinking.
Could it be that the border is profiting from the war and wants to show off in front of them losers?
Emperor Wu would definitely not be so superficial, but they really couldn't think of any other reason.
The atmosphere in the side hall was dull, and it was not lively because of the appearance of the three major valve lords.
There are all heroes present, although the forces were big and small before, they are all the existence of the dominant side, and naturally they will not feel inferior, especially when they are all losers.
Just when the atmosphere was so embarrassing that it was a little depressing, Lei Hu walked in from outside the hall, ignored the dull atmosphere, and said with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time!" ”
"Meet Your Majesty!"
The defeated heroes in the side hall stood up and saluted together, which was a respect for the victor and a gratitude to Emperor Wu's subordinates for their mercy.
I have never heard of the losers in the battle for the world still survive like them, and they are still living a good life, and they are not treated too harshly.
This is very remarkable, Emperor Wu's broad-mindedness makes them very emotional.
"Sit down, and don't talk nonsense!"
Lei Hu waved his hand, motioned for the frustrated heroes present to sit down, and said straight to the point: "I have summoned you here this time for your future placement!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the heroes present cheered up, they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"You are all heroes for a while, and you have all had the experience of dominating one side before, but it is unrealistic to want to make you honest and peaceful!"
Lei Hu's words made the frustrated and ambitious people present frightened, which was really a bit of a curse.
Seeing that everyone's faces changed drastically, and they wanted to explain, Lei Hu waved his hand to stop him: "Ming people don't say dark words, since I am willing to leave your lives, naturally I won't want you to look good because of such a thing!" ”
Don't say it sooner!
The frustrated heroes present secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense mind suddenly relaxed.
"The grassland coalition is coming, don't look at their aggressiveness, this time they will definitely lose a big defeat!"
Lei Hu didn't care, and said indifferently: "Your way out is at the end of the grassland, and thousands of miles away in the Western Regions!" ”
The originally relaxed minds of the frustrated heroes present tensed again, their faces were ugly, and the atmosphere was even more dull, Emperor Wu's words were definitely ill-intentioned.
Their way out is at the end of the grassland, and there is a land in the Western Regions thousands of miles away?
Could it be that Emperor Wu wanted to exile them all?
Isn't it too ruthless?
Although all the heroes present were defeats, they couldn't help but feel resentful, and looked at the depths of Emperor Wu's eyes, full of anger and unwillingness.
Dugu Feng's face was extremely ugly, if he knew that Emperor Wu was such a person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, he would not have joined forces with Emperor Wu when he was killed.
Relying on the identity of the same camp, he stubbornly said: "Your Majesty wants to exile us?" ”
At this point, the atmosphere in the side hall suddenly became tense. Everyone's eyes were all focused on Emperor Wu and wanted an explanation.
"Lord Dugu wants to be left, I don't mean to toss you!"
Lei Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "When the grassland alliance army is defeated, I will allow you to conquer the Mobei Western Regions, and Dawu needs you to establish a solid defense line on the farthest border!" ”
The frustrated heroes in the side hall were completely blinded, and they didn't know what Emperor Wu meant by this?
"To put it bluntly, it is to let each of you build a feudal state outside the borders that Great Wu can control!"
Lei Hu smiled leisurely: "Otherwise, what will I do with your surname and raise them in captivity?" ”
Rumble!
The frustrated heroes in the side hall exploded, and they were all stunned and didn't know what to say, and they opened their mouths wide and their faces were full of astonishment, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Feudal statehood!
Emperor Wu thought about it, but their hearts were on fire.
As Emperor Wu said before, they have already tasted power, how can they really be willing to be a rich man, or the kind that is monitored and kept in captivity?
Especially the three major gates, their power is strong, naturally they will not be willing to be suppressed by Emperor Wu all the time, and they will really be weakened to a certain extent, and then a rebellion will inevitably be divided into winners and losers.
As long as Emperor Wu reigned, fools knew what the final outcome would be.
For the three major gates, as long as they remain in the territory of Dawu, the future outcome is doomed.
But now it's different, Emperor Wu gave another way: to seal the country!
Although they need to go to the distant Mobei and the Western Regions, they can be the masters of their own affairs, and it is estimated that the life will be more difficult than in Dawu, but they can't stand up to being able to be the masters of the country, and they can also become the feudal lords recognized by Dawu, and the conditions given are not unfavorable.
It's just that although I am already very moved in my heart, it is not good to agree directly, showing that I am too urgent and very tasteless.
Lei Hu saw through the thoughts of the frustrated heroes present at a glance, and said angrily: "Don't play those vain things, just talk about Li Valve." Of the sons under the knee of Lord Li, who is the simple master? ”
Li Yuan's face was slightly red, and he wanted to say something, but when he thought of the sons who were in a lot of trouble at home, he didn't know what to say.
There were no fools present, and they had heard of the battle between Li Yuan's sons.
"It's not that I'm alarmist, Li Valve mainly doesn't have enough resources to arrange your sons, and in the end, there may be a bloody conflict, Li Er has the support of Buddhism!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "With the strength of Li Valve, it should not be difficult to destroy a few small countries in the Western Regions and establish a few vassal states spanning thousands of miles. ”
Without waiting for Li Yuan to express his position, he directly stated his position and said with a smile: "I also happened to divert the guys in the Buddhism Sect who refused to settle down, out of sight and out of mind!" ”
Li Yuan smiled bitterly, he had already promised in his heart, but it was not good to show it too much, and no one who was frustrated was willing to give up such an opportunity......
