Xie Zhiyun was a little frightened, this time she didn't care about the halberd, she broke free from his arms directly, and said in surprise: "Wucao and Daqi? ”

North Vietnam and Daqi did not deal with each other quickly, and fought in many places on the border all year round, among which the most frequent war was Tongchuan.

At that time, Wei Cang once led the Wei army to fight to the death with Daqi in Tongchuan, and completely rescued Tongchuan from the doom of being invaded by Daqi, and then Tongchuan became the capital of Wei Cang's jurisdiction, and was no longer ordered by North Vietnam and Daqi.

After years of war, Tongchuan grass and trees withered, sparsely populated, even if there is a garrison stationed here, there is no food supply, so Wei Cang and the garrison discussed it, especially in Tongchuan to set up a garrison town.

There are generally two types of defenders, one is serious crimes, heinous crimes, or enemy prisoners, etc., they will be locked up in the military fields, working day and night, cultivating the military rations that the soldiers need.

There is also a misdemeanor, or the people who fled to Tongchuan with their families, can also be guilty of meritorious service in Tongchuan, and each day of work can be exchanged for two days of imprisonment, which is voluntary.

In fact, in Tongchuan, the second type of people is the most.

Many of them, especially ordinary people who had only committed minor crimes, would stay in Tongchuan after working for months or years in Tongchuan, where they would multiply and become locals.

There are not many defenders of Tongchuan now.

The people are working hard to protect their homes.

Because Tongchuan was in the way, there were Wei's, Tongchuan's soldiers and people, so they kept North Vietnam's respite for several years.

The Halberd will not allow anyone to destroy the peace that has come so hard in any way.

But now, he knows the news.

Neither of them had lights on, they sat across from each other, and they didn't need light to understand what the other meant.

"That's right, it's Wucao and Daqi."

"There are two secret letters, both of which are hidden in the secret room, or Liu Zhaohui is shrewd, and after arresting someone, he said that he would search again, take away all the weapons and food that can be used, and not let go of anything, so we found it there."

Obviously, he was very nervous now, and the atmosphere was a little tense, but Xie Zhiyun still laughed softly in order to appease the halberd.

"Vice Admiral Liu is very frugal, this is a good habit."

The halberd breathed a sigh of relief, he calmed down again, his big hand crawled on the brocade quilt, and finally touched Xie Zhiyun's hand.

He held her hand in the palm of his hand as if he were holding a rare treasure.

"Both of these letters are a few years old, and the first one seems to be three or four years ago, saying that it has sent a lot of felons and thieves to the Wucao Ministry, and also gave them a place to store the grain, so that they can send someone to pick it up."

Xie Zhiyun snorted, and the guard continued: "The other letter is from last year, which said that the Wucao Department has been unsatisfactory recently, so there is no food for that month. ”

As soon as these two letters were discovered, all of Halberd's previous guesses were correct.

"A rabble like the Wucao Ministry, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are just to eat and drink, get something for nothing, and bully the weak, right?" Wei Ji said, "But the Wucao Department is different, they are bent on opposing Yezhou, but if they go down to Taiji Mountain, they will only rob the merchants in Yezhou and other places, and they will intrude on the people under the rule of our Suguo Mansion, which is a little weird." ”

"Actually, our family has an old hatred with the Wucao tribe."

When Wei Ningshu was talking about this before, Wei Ji once said something, but he didn't explain it carefully at that time.

Wei Ji held her hand and said, "In the early years, there was another Wucao military town at the junction of Beiliang and Daqi, you should know this. ”

Xie Zhiyun has a good memory, and he will never forget the books he has read, so he said at this moment: "I know that later in the civil strife in Beiliang, the royal court was seized, and the current royal lineage, the branch royal family in the early years successfully seized the court and became the king of Beiliang." ”

The current King of Beiliang, Tuoba Ye, is the eldest son of the old King of Beiliang, who won the court back then.

Because of the turmoil in Beiliang and the outbreak of war, the Wucao Department belonging to Daqi was also affected, although the Wucao Department was clearly subordinate to Daqi, but in fact it belonged to both sides, so the war was together, and Daqi was the first to give up Wucao.

In this case, the Wucao tribe suffered heavy casualties, and in the end, they could not support themselves, so they went all the way south and entered the Taiji Mountain to become Liukou.

"There's an allusion to this."

Wei Ji lowered his eyes and said: "It can't be called an allusion, it's just a little intersection with my father, my father was still in Tongchuan at that time, in order to keep the war between Beiliang and Daqi from affecting North Vietnam, he has been trying to support, and it is at this time that the flowing Wucao Department met with my father at the intersection of Taiji Mountain and Tongchuan." ”

The reputation of the Wucao Department was not good, they burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, but in that case, Wei Cang couldn't swallow 20,000 enemies in one go.

Tongchuan is about to be lost, North Vietnam is in turmoil, and the party within the royal family is fighting against each other, and everyone wants to be the emperor.

No one wants to protect the people, and no one has the ability to protect the people.

But Webster can.

For the sake of this piece of mountains and rivers, the Wei clan has paid almost the strength of the whole clan, and so has the Chen clan.

"At that time, Uncle Chen was still there, and after my father met Wu Caobu, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he wrote to Uncle Chen to discuss, and the strategy given by Uncle Chen was to delay first and then kill."

It would be fine if the Wucao tribe was a good army, but the soldiers under their command had become accustomed to bullying the people, burning, killing and looting, and they were not soldiers to protect their homes and defend the country, but only to bully the weak and kill people freely.

This kind of thing, you can't keep it.

"Uncle Chen's temper is much more easy-going than his father's, but he also knows this truth, so he only said to hold off, not to let it go."

"So, at that time, my father politely reached a deal with Yu Wencheng, the leader of the Wucao Tribe, and Wei Cang let the Wucao Department enter Taiji Mountain, but they could only live in Taiji Mountain, and once they went out of the mountain, they would be killed."

Xie Zhiyun sighed: "They must have broken their promises." ”

The guard looked cold: "Yes, they are all a bunch of brutes. ”

This is the first time Xie Zhiyun has heard Wei Ji scolding, but he feels that he scolded right and scolded well.

"Two years later, Yu Wencheng privately led a thousand elite soldiers out of the mountain, burned and looted in Lotus Town at the foot of the mountain, bullying the people, my father got the news, and took me to personally go over to suppress the bandits, and beheaded all the Wucao tribes, including Yu Wencheng."

"But so what, the dead don't come back alive, and the wounds they have suffered have left scars."

"I probably think that my father is treacherous and that Uncle Chen is a villain, so the Wucao Department hates Yezhou and us."

"Four years ago, they took advantage of the Great Qi to attack, and my father and I sent troops to resist the foreign invasion, so they entered Yezhou and slaughtered the people."

New hatred and old hatred, how can it be?
