Changan.

Pei Xiu walked briskly, and a large group of officials followed behind him, looking hurried.

This scholar of the Ministry of Rites who came here is really a little difficult to get along with.

Pei Xiu always has a straight face, and he looks cold to everyone.

Overall, it's a bit high, and I don't look down on the people in these places.

The officials were still trying to talk to Pei Xiu, but Pei Xiu ignored it, so he went on a rampage all the way and walked all the way into the county guard's mansion.

When Pei Xiu pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Assassin Shi Zhuge Xu is sitting on the top position.

Many of his guests sat on his left and right.

These guests of Zhuge Xu were not local clans, but the new leaders of the Huqiang tribes.

It was not only Hu Qiang who had been attacked by Deng Ai before, but the rest of the tribes were also within the scope of Deng Ai's attack, and after these tribes surrendered, they were guarded by local officials, and they naturally quickly elected their new leaders.

Zhuge Xu is summoning these people today.

Many officials stood helplessly at the door, watching this scene, quite helpless.

Pei Xiu has been here for a while.

But the feeling that this person gives them is similar to Deng Ai and Shi Bao, no matter how fierce his words are, he is not very polite to his own people, let alone to these Qiang people?

The officials in Yongzhou knew his intentions, and after the discussion, they decided to intervene with these people first, and then let Pei Xiu come in to solve the matter.

They don't want to cause any more trouble.

However, Pei Xiu is not something they can trap or exclude.

Seeing Pei Xiu who suddenly broke in, Zhuge Xu didn't feel embarrassed, he stood up with a smile, looked at the surrounding clan leaders, pointed at Pei Xiu and said, "Everyone, what you just said about the Ministry of Rites is this duke!" ”

The crowd was shocked.

They stood up and prayed.

They were also secretly looking at the person in front of them.

This man is not very old, but his expression is very cold, and his temperament is quite cold, which is different from many ministers they know.

Just by looking at it, you know that this person is not the kind of person who is very easy to get along with.

Pei Xiu really didn't pay attention to his salute, walked quickly to Zhuge Xu's side, and then motioned for the man to get up, and sat down directly.

The leader who was occupied did not dare to attack, and walked to the position of the door.

Pei Xiu looked at the people in front of him.

"Thorn Shigong, are these people you are hiding from me?"

"Who are they?"

Zhuge Xu cleared his throat and said, "They are all the leaders of the various departments. ”

"The only leaders I know are Baishan Qiang and Wu Geqiang, I don't know which two?"

Pei Xiu asked rhetorically.

At this moment, two people hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Pei Xiu, and introduced themselves.

These two people are the two leaders who obeyed Shibao and came to meet in time, so they were not killed.

Pei Xiu returned the salute to them, and said, "This time I came here on the orders of His Majesty to appease the clan leaders and reward them for their loyalty. ”

"Your Majesty will seal the two Guannei Marquis, give you two surnames Cao, and allow your heirs to go to Taixue to study and serve as officials."

Hearing this, the two leaders looked extremely excited.

They trembled and saluted Pei Xiu and thanked him repeatedly.

The rest of the leaders stared at each other in some disbelief.

Pei Xiu asked them to sit back in their seats, and then looked at the rest of them with disdain.

"I've already met the chief, but who are these people?"

Zhuge Xu cleared his throat and said seriously: "These are the newly elected leaders of the various tribes. ”

Pei Xiu sneered, "Chief? ”

Suddenly, a young descendant stepped forward, saluted Pei Xiu and said, "Lord Shangshu, I am not the head of the clan, but I am just a person sent by the Assassin Shi Gong to invite the people in charge of the clan. ”

Pei Xiu glanced at him with some surprise, and then looked at Zhuge Xu again.

"I remember that the leaders were all executed for disobeying military orders, and the rest were all prisoners, where are the captives qualified to say what the leaders are?"

"Thorn Shi actually gathered a group of captives to sit here to eat and drink?!"

"Someone!!"

Pei Xiu gave an order, and the armor soldiers rushed in.

Because of an experience, these leaders were extremely frightened, and they all looked at Zhuge Xu and begged for mercy loudly.

Only the young man, with no different color, stood aside very respectfully.

Zhuge Xu frowned, "Pei Shangshu, although you are sent by the temple, you can't be arrogant to this point!" ”

"Those who disobeyed the military order have been duly punished."

"Since the former Han Dynasty, the Qiang Department has been the people of the Son of Heaven, and they go out with the army and are called righteous servants."

"Do you want to kill them all?!"

Zhuge Xu's voice was very loud, and he was worthy of being the commander who had just participated in a war.

But Pei Xiu didn't care at all, he continued: "Your Majesty sent me here this time to make up for protection, not to choose a new leader. ”

"These leaders, who only know how to pursue profits, dared to follow Jiang Wei to make trouble, and did not kill them all, it is already because of His Majesty's mercy, what qualifications do they have to choose their own leaders?"

"I want them to abandon their chieftains, and to settle the people of their tribes in the county town, and let them be governed by local officials, pay taxes, and obey conscription, all like the people of the Central Plains."

"If there are those who disobey, let them perish with the Shu Kingdom."

Pei Xiu said cruel words.

And at this time, the two leaders, that is, Baishan and Wuge, hurriedly got up again and said: "Shangshu, we all obey Your Majesty's edict, and we will lead the people back to the county seat."

Pei Xiu looked at him and said seriously, "Okay." ”

The two of them are compensated, Guan Neihou, and the Taixue quota, which are all real benefits.

Naturally, they were willing.

But the rest of the clan leaders were full of despair at the moment.

They are unwilling to put an end to the tribal form of the present.

Zhuge Xu said with some displeasure: "Pei Gong, when you didn't come, we were discussing this matter, why are you so aggressive?" ”

Pei Xiu still said the same thing, "Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die." ”

"These people are just captives now! Needless to say!! ”

At this time, the young man spoke again: "My lord! Our ministry is willing to obey the edict!! ”

Pei Xiu couldn't help but look at this person again.

This man is not very old, he is quite strong, and unlike the rest of the Hu people, he is extremely cleanly dressed, he is also clean, and his eyes are bright, standing among these people, it is like standing out from the crowd, completely different.

Pei Xiu silently remembered this person.

Then he looked at Zhuge Xu again, "Thorn History!!" Please order it as soon as possible!! ”

"If you don't comply, I'll give the Captain a letter and ask him to send a large army here!!"

Zhuge Xu's face was very dark, he looked at everyone, and said helplessly: "I will decide, and send these people out."

Pei Xiu sneered, picked up the wine in front of him and ate it.

These leaders were taken out by the armor soldiers, and their faces were extremely complicated, and the descendant saluted Pei Xiu and Zhuge Xu before leaving.

After they and the officials all left, the anger on Zhuge Xu's face suddenly disappeared.

"Pei Gong, what do you think?"

Pei Xiu's face didn't have the coldness of Fang Cai, he nodded, "They are probably going to obey, they just need you to say something good." ”

Pei Xiu was born in a big family, so he despised others, but Zhuge Xu was not something he could despise, Langya Zhuge Clan, which one of them was a heavyweight player in Wei Shu and Wu.

You can meet any big family.

I'm really not afraid of your Pei family.

The conflict between Pei Xiu and Zhuge Xu is mainly for the ministers and those leaders to see.

Zhuge Xu will have to govern this place in the future, and he will inevitably interact with them, so he can't be too ruthless, and Pei Xiu is about to leave after treatment, so he doesn't care about his reputation among these people.

Therefore, the two have a clear division of labor and cooperate with each other, that is, they will completely organize these tribes!

Pei Xiu had made up his mind anyway, if they didn't obey, then they would really have to use force.

The two talked in a low voice, Pei Xiu decided to leave, at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Who is that posterity?" ”

"It's bald, it's called tree function."

Zhuge Xu replied.

Pei Xiu opened his mouth and said, "You can find an opportunity to kill him." ”

Zhuge Xu was shocked, he was a little incomprehensible, "Pei Gong, this person took the initiative to lead the clan to surrender, and besides, he is extremely cooperative with many of our policies, why should he be killed?" ”

Pei Xiu narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "This person is extremely talented, and he is from a mixed background, if he is not killed in time, he will gain momentum in the future, and he may become a hidden danger of Great Wei." ”

After saying that, Pei Xiu left here in a hurry.

Zhuge Xu was a little entangled at the moment.

In fact, he is quite optimistic about this young man, he is familiar with the classics, and actively cooperates, and even takes the initiative to surrender, not to mention his own appreciation, just talk about the influence, people take the initiative to surrender, actively cooperate, and then he is inexplicably killed, what will the rest of the tribe think?

Zhuge Xu hesitated for a long time, but still sent someone to summon this person.

When Shuji knelt in front of him, Zhuge Xu smiled and exchanged a few words with him, and after chatting for a while, Zhuge Xu suddenly asked: "If your clan is scattered, what should you do yourself?" ”

"I want to go to Luoyang, worship famous scholars as teachers, learn classics, and master skills."

At this moment, Zhuge Xu suddenly clenched his fists, "Oh? What kind of skills do you want to master? ”

"I heard that there was a Xiongnu prince in the former Han Dynasty, who governed the classics and became an important minister who assisted the king, and opened up a big family to be sacrificed to future generations."

"I want to master what he does."

At this moment, Zhuge Xu's fist suddenly loosened again.

"Your ambitions are good."
