Chapter Fifty-Seven: Pure as Silk!
In just one day, the Qigui Department was attacked by the cavalry wearing the color of the Yunzhou military uniform, with heavy casualties, and on the same day, the horse farm of the Qigui Department was also occupied by this army, and thousands of horses in the horse farm were all robbed overnight.
The patriarch of the Qigui tribe set off overnight and went to Jizhou City in person.
In Jizhou City, Yu Wenzhao lived in the original Ye family's house in Jizhou, and he sat on the main seat of the main hall, frowning.
Under him, sat Yu Wenxun, the current patriarch of the Qigui Clan.
After the other Yuwen three tribes were annexed by Yuwen Zhao, the leadership was all replaced, and they were replaced by patriarchs who were closer to Yuwen Zhao, but no matter how close they were to Yuwen Zhao, they could not harm the interests of their own clan, these new patriarchs were not prestige enough, if under their leadership, their own tribe was at risk of extinction, then the clansmen would attack it en masse,
Yu Wenjing is a middle-aged man in his forties, and after roughly talking about the situation of the Qigui Division, he said: "Heavenly King, my Qigui Department is a small clan, and it is on the edge of Yunzhou City, after you transferred 10,000 young people, I am unable to resist the attack of Yunzhou City. ”
Speaking of this, Yuwen Jing paused, and then continued: "Heavenly King, the war on the Jizhou side has ended, the Southern Jin Dynasty has suffered heavy losses, and most of the people in Yunzhou City will retaliate against my Qigui tribe, and my subordinates want to ask the Heavenly King to allocate another 20,000 people to protect my Qigui tribesmen......"
Originally, the Qigui Department wanted to transfer back the clansmen, which was not a big problem, and the Qigui Department had only 10,000 people, and a lot of people were killed in the process of attacking Jimen Pass, and now all of them are only five or six thousand people, but it is a little unrealistic to want to transfer another 20,000 people from Jizhou.
This time in the attack on Jizhou, the Yuwen Department was killed and seriously wounded, and the total number of people who lost was probably nearly 100,000, and now the Xianbei people in Jizhou are less than 100,000 people, if another 20,000 or 30,000 are transferred to the Qigui Department, Jizhou will immediately weaken.
Yuwen Zhao frowned and said, "The person who raided the Qigui Tribe, are you sure that it is the seed army of Yunzhou City?" ”
"Naturally certain."
Yu Wenjing said without hesitation: "I have been dealing with the Seed Army for decades, and I am very familiar with the Seed Army, even if it is night, I can recognize it as the uniform color of the Seed Army. ”
"If you wear the clothes of the family army, you don't necessarily have to be a person from the family army."
Yu Wenzhao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The Seed Family Army has always been known for its caution, and I haven't heard that the Southern Jin Dynasty Imperial Court let them go out of the pass to attack our department, at this time, most of the Seed Family Army is trying to defend Yunzhou City, and it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to go out of the customs to raid the Qigui Department." ”
Speaking of this, Yu Wenzhao paused and continued: "You just said that those seed soldiers are holding clay pots one after another, and after they are thrown out, there is a sound of thunder and fire, and they will explode......"
"Yes."
Speaking of this, Yu Wenjing gritted his teeth: "There were not many people who raided our department that night, it is estimated that there were only a few thousand people, but the clay pots in their hands were too powerful, and hundreds of clay pots were thrown over, and our department suffered one or two thousand casualties, and there was no chance to fight back at all!" ”
Yu Wenzhao's brows furrowed even deeper.
He stood up from his chair, and after taking two steps, he spoke: "Listening to you say this, it's a bit like the heavenly thunder that Li Changan made in the southwest. ”
"But Li Changan has already turned against the Southern Jin Dynasty, and even the southwest has already raised troops, so it is impossible for him to oppose us in the north at this time."
Yuwen Zhao was puzzled and frowned deeply.
"Could it be that the Southern Jin Dynasty also has this thing?"
"No, if they have, we won't be able to defeat Jizhou City at all......"
Yu Wenzhao has known a lot about the officialdom situation in Dajin over the years, and he muttered a few words, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be...... The Ji family is already suspicious of the Ye family to this point? ”
Yuwen Jing on the side saw that Yuwen Zhao had been muttering to himself, and said with a wry smile: "Heavenly King, now is not the time to speculate, before the subordinates came down, the clansmen said that I must bring back all the clansmen of the Qigui tribe, and I will also bring back 30,000 people from you to defend the Qigui tribe, no matter what you say, you must also give 20,000 people to your subordinates, otherwise the patriarch of the subordinate will ...... Maybe it won't be able to do it. ”
Yuwen Zhao came back from his contemplation, he glanced at Yuwen Jing, and said slowly: "The people of the Qigui Department, you can bring them all back, and this king can also give you some reinforcements, but there are no 30,000 people, and 20,000 people are impossible, I will transfer 10,000 people to you to go back with you, the Qigui Department is not big, you pay more attention to some seed army, even if they raid again, 10,000 people can defend until the king supports the past anyway." ”
Yuwen Jing was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Thank you Heavenly King, in this way, even if your subordinates go back, they will have an explanation." ”
Yu Wenzhao's face was expressionless.
"After you go back, find a way to find out if the people who attacked you are the family army, if they are not the family army, find out who they are, and notify me as soon as you find out."
Yuwen Jing nodded respectfully and said, "Heavenly King, this time Jizhou has won a big victory, it should be our beggar department's ......."
The Yuwen tribes united to attack Jimen Pass, and so many people died, naturally it could not be gratuitous, in fact, they had already discussed it before, and the things they grabbed were distributed according to the proportion of the troops sent by each department.
Yu Wenzhao glanced at Yu Wenjing a little unhappily, and said impatiently: "It's good for you, you can take it back." ”
Only then did Yuwen Jing breathe a sigh of relief, got up and bowed to Yu Wenjing, and said respectfully: "The Heavenly King is wise, and the Qigui Department is willing to serve the Heavenly King forever." ”
Yuwen Zhao snorted and got up to leave.
……………………
At this time, Li Xin, who had already marched from the Qigui Department to the Helan Department, received the information handed over by Shen Gang.
The information is very thick, more than twenty pages long, all about the origin of the Helan Ministry, and the current situation of the Helan Ministry.
The Helan Department is the second largest tribe in Northern Xinjiang in addition to Yuwen Zhao's royal tent, the clansmen have exceeded 300,000, and at the peak, they can even touch Yuwen Zhao's royal tent head-on, such a large tribe will naturally not surrender to Yuwen Zhao's royal account because of the royal blood of the Northern Zhou Dynasty on Yuwen Zhao's body, in fact, Yuwen Zhao used a lot of dirty means in order to subdue the Helan Department a few years ago.
The former patriarch of the Helan tribe, called Yuwen Hao, was known as the king of Helan in the northern Xinjiang, and he was very uninterested in Yuwen Zhao's royal tent, and he would definitely not easily surrender to Yuwen Zhao.
He first went to visit the Heran Department in person, and then found Yuwenhao's brother Yuwenjie in the Helan Ministry, and later found an excuse to invite Yuwenjie to the king's tent many times, and gave him a lot of horses, cattle, sheep and women.
The tribes on the grassland, there are not too many twists and turns in the Great Jin Dynasty, even if Yuwen Jie's many times to the king's tent, Yuwen Hao did not suspect his own brother, and later when the Helan Department had a shepherd festival, Yuwen Hao was poisoned by someone, fell to the ground unconscious, and died two or three days later.
In the past two or three days, Yuwen Jiejie quickly took over the power of the Helan tribe, because of the tradition of brother to brother, and soon Yuwen Jiejie became the new patriarch of the Helan tribe.
Within a few months of that, there were some conflicts between the Helan tribe and the warriors of the king's tent, and after being "defeated", Yuwen Jiejie took the Helan tribe and fell to Yuwen Zhao.
After Li Xin simply read the information of the Helan Department, he casually threw it to Ye Mao on the side, the Marquis of Jing'an, who had been floating in the Great Jin Dynasty for more than ten years, half-squinted his eyes and smiled.
"What an old-fashioned plot, compared to those big-headed scholars in the capital, these Xianbei people are so pure."
"It's a rarity."
After sighing, he turned his head to look at Shen Gang who was standing on the side, and said, "Let the brothers in the Helan Department inquire if this Yuwen Hao has any descendants, and if so, the idea is suggested to him." ”
