1264 Bestow Hu

For this opportunity that he won with his life, Xi Beqi also attached great importance to it, and did not dare to waste it, taking advantage of the fact that Shi Tianwang still appreciated him, he didn't even have time to deal with the injury carefully, and hurriedly returned after hastily cleaning up.

As soon as he returned to the king's tent, Xi Beqi explained the purpose and inventory of this trip, including the envoys sent by the puppet Han Liu Changming to deceive their tribe and lure them south.

Of course, he should make a small embellishment in his words, and he will not directly say how to peek into Liu Changming's flaws, only saying that his father Liu Wuhuan knows the current destiny of heaven, and is willing to surrender to the majesty of the Great Zhao Heavenly King, and does not want to collude with Liu Changming, who stole the name of the Han State.

"Liu Changming is just a miscellaneous scum, and he doesn't have the talent to lead the brave and healthy people, and now he is in trouble when he flees to the north. My father had long hoped to be able to bring tribal forces to His Majesty, and after learning of the disturbance in the south, he was willing to do his best to conquer the land of Henan for His Majesty, so that the great Zhao Tianwei would manifest itself in the Hetao. I was worried that my talent would not be matched, and that the army would be defeated and killed, but I was afraid that I would tarnish the prestige of the Heavenly King, so I was sent to travel thousands of miles to ask for the edict of the Heavenly King. ”

When dealing with injuries before, Xi Beqi also asked others a little about etiquette, and the warriors under the Heavenly King's account were quite appreciated by the Heavenly King because they saw him, so they did not hesitate to give him some advice, so that the response was more organized.

Shi Hu just smiled after hearing this, and he didn't show anything too special, obviously not interested in it. One Hetao is far away from his current sphere of influence, and it is not in his calculation at all, and he is currently worried about Shanxi affairs, and he is not in the mood to think about such a marginal region anymore.

Second, he still summoned Xi Beqi, but he was simply interested in this person, and he really didn't pay attention to the Tiefu Ministry. This kind of Zahu tribe is sparse and not famous, if it is near the Zhao State, it is willing to attach the whole clan as a righteous servant, because of this brave performance of Xi Beqi, Shi Hu is still a little interested.

However, they are thousands of miles away from each other, and their people send them from afar, just to take advantage of the power of Zhao Guo and the fox to make their own plans. Therefore, it is still uncertain whether he can capture it by himself, and Shi Hu does not expect to get any benefits from it.

For the many forces in Biansai and Monan, Shi Hu can only take a look at the Xianbei Dynasty, especially after Shi Yiqian's return to the country, he has the momentum of unifying Monan. As Shi Yiqian's benefactor, Shi Hu is proud on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also hopes that Shi Yiqian can provide him with some substantial help.

This Tiefu tribe was just a vassal of Daiguo, but in the end he sent an envoy to express his loyalty to him, and it is conceivable that he was not a good and obedient person. It is simple to give him a little knighthood, a matter of one sentence, but now that Shi Hu is still ordering Shi Yiqian to send troops to help him pacify Shanxi, he has to consider crossing Shi Yiqian to point fingers at his vassals, and what Shi Yiqian will think about this.

In other words, this Tiefu was not enough for Shi Hu to directly accept it as an eagle dog and award it a knight. So he was inevitably not interested in this, and even if he heard it, he waved his hand to drive away Xi Beqi, and then left this matter behind.

After that, Shi Hu's main energy was to continue to exert pressure on Shanxi, on the one hand, he gradually transferred the beggar army, which had been greatly expanded, back to Jizhou, and stationed near various mountains on the eastern side of Taihang Mountain, posing as a posture ready to wave the army westward at any time. On the other hand, he ordered Daiguo to organize 20,000 people of Mo Nan Hu Bu Yicong to approach Yanmen as soon as possible, and cooperate with him to exert pressure on the state as a whole from the north.

However, as the time entered the early summer, the situation in Shanxi changed again, and the original state had gradually become unstable under the pressure of Shi Hu, and there was even no shortage of heroes who sent people over the Taihang Mountain to take the initiative to contact.

However, in May, Liu Changming, the pseudo-Han who was not put in Shi Hu's heart, actually surrendered to Shi Sheng, and Shi Sheng was also overjoyed about this, and dared to accept Liu Changming in a grand manner, and named him the king of Xihe, and handed over the original remnants of Han and Zhao around Pingyang, including some of the Di and Qiang people who moved inward, to his command.

These two parties were originally the remnants of the two hegemons of the north and the south, and they were already struggling to survive, but once they were connected, there was a sense of integration, which gradually stabilized the already shaky situation in Demerzhou.

In addition, there is another variable that is unfavorable to the Jin army, that is, in the process of advancing to northern Shaanxi, due to the harsh punishment order, a large number of people living in northern Shaanxi retreated and fled on a large scale. And the flight of this part of the people, the first target is naturally the force united by Shi Sheng and Liu Changming.

This problem, although it is not good for the Jin army, but the overall impact is not great, the morale of the Jin army is like a rainbow, before Liu Changming's hundreds of thousands of rabble were chased and scored into disintegration, panicked like a lost dog. And it is precisely because of its great power that it brutally suppressed the Qiang Hu people in northern Shaanxi, even if these Hu people fled, it was only to slightly delay their demise.

But in this way, the impact on Shi Hu is great, because he has not yet made up his mind whether to send troops and annex the state, but only through pressure to deter. However, the influx of a large number of Qiang and Hu people will inevitably cancel out the effect of his pressure, and even the powerful men who have sent people to contact and communicate earlier have gradually disappeared.

Another thing that made Shi Hu irritable was that it was probably because Chen Bing's previous actions to exert pressure on behalf of the county made Shi Yiqian a little jealous, and when it came to action, he was even more estranged, and he repeatedly looked for excuses to delay, and his soldiers were slow to enter Yanmen, which also greatly reduced the effect of Shi Hu's pressure.

Under a lot of sorrow, Shi Hu remembered the Saibei Tiefu Department that he had ignored before, so he asked him to summon that Xi Beqi again, and asked in detail how much power the Tiefu Department could mobilize if it went south and entered the trap.

If it's just a mere three or five thousand people, it's okay to be a raiding rogue, but it's not qualified to affect the change of power in the whole situation. After all, although the general trend is still chaotic today, there is no longer the situation of wolf smoke everywhere after the recovery of Yongjia, and there is no chance for the rogue to come out.

Xi Beqi has been idle here for many days, and he is also annoyed in his heart, but in addition to complaining that he did not seize the opportunity, he is also inquiring about the current situation of Zhao Guo, so when he asks again, he has some spectrum in his heart.

"The acting lord is called Mo Nan Gongzhu, but in fact, he is just a thief who steals the Heavenly King Weirong. It is precisely because of the majesty of the king of heaven that we are obedient to the various ministries, otherwise how can we let the various ministries be attached to them by relying on the people of the rope alone! However, the acting lord was narrow-minded, and instead of publicizing the great Zhao Enwei, he relied on his own command, banned the good herdsman and gave preferential treatment to the relatives, and the handling of things was too unfair, and the various departments were born early......"

In addition to attacking the king of Shiyiqian, Xi Beqi also cited many examples: "If the edict of the king of heaven is used to plug it, thousands of strong people in our department are willing to attack the tug-of-war for His Majesty's eagle dogs." In addition, the rest of the ministries such as Gao Che, Ding Ling, etc., have been friends with our department for many generations, but they have also suffered a lot from the abuse of the country, and only because there is no mandate to convey it, they are loose and dare not ask. If His Majesty calls for it, tens of thousands of people can immediately go south......"

When Shi Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, especially Shi Yiqian's attitude of yang and yin, which also made him feel that he had to carry out a substantial beating, so that this suo head slave understood that if he could help him up, he could also knock it over.

Although Xi Beqi's answer made him quite satisfied, it was a matter of his prestige, and Shi Hu would not make a decision easily. If the strength of the Tiefu tribe is too weak and he is destroyed casually, then his intention to cite his people to beat the country will become a joke, and it will also make Shi Yiqian lose his awe of him even more.

After that, Shi Hu summoned all kinds of people in Saibei, and after he had a comprehensive understanding, he gradually had a plan in his heart.

So he asked Xi Beqi to pass on again, and this time it was much more direct: "In the old years, Jin lost his job, and I competed with the Han Kingdom to start a business." I know that your department is also a famous Xiongnu family, and you have promised to be in the Han Dynasty. But because the Han lord lost the country, he couldn't be a strong man with great kindness. I am deeply grateful for this, because I will never treat you and others bravely......"

Since it was decided to quote the Tiefu Ministry, Shi Hu was no longer stingy, and directly crowned Liu Wuhuan as the general of Pingbei and the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian, and named Xi Beqi as the right captain, and said patiently: "The Xiongnu were also the male lord of the Northern Wilderness in the old years, and now I have been appointed by heaven to be called the great single, and I am the grandson of you and Saihu, and your father will be my arm and minions from now on." Plugged in the cold and hardship, not enough to grow, I also hope that your father can be grateful for his life and bravely win the Hetao. ”

"As for appointing you as the Grand Captain, this is also the old position of Da Shan Yuting, and from now on you will be my Yongjian Eagle. In the future, your father will be famous in the west, and when you grow old, I will send someone to send you back to your ministry to succeed in your career, so that you can stay here with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about the story of the future in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Hu said with emotion: "When the Lord of the Era was under my steps, he was far inferior to your bravery." After he returns to the ministry, he can still create a prestige, and he will take a higher look at you and me! ”

For his retention of Zhao Guo, Xi Beqi had already foreseen it, and Shi Hu's words did make him excited, and he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

It was difficult for Tiefu to worship Zhao Guocheng, but it was much smoother for Zhao to send an envoy to Shuofang, and Shi Hu even personally issued an edict to inform Shi Yiqian, ordering him to escort Zhao Guo's envoys along the way, without shying away from it, but also to give Shi Yiqian a heavy beating warning.

In addition, Shi Hu did not completely pin the western variables on the Tiefu Ministry, in addition to canonizing Liu Wuhuan, he also made people spread the news to the northern and southern parts of the desert, saying that if anyone can capture the Hetao, he will use the Henan land in the set to establish a feudal country and crown him as the king of Henan.

The issuance of such an edict is tantamount to instigating the swarm outside the Saiwai to flock south, anyway, Shi Hu has no energy at all under the eyes of Xuanwei Hetao, so generous to others, attracting a lot of energy of the Jin army to northern Shaanxi, which is of great significance to his subsequent strategic development!
