ββ¦β¦ I hope you two will accept our kindness. β
In a felt tent with elaborate decorations, two messengers dressed as Sichuan people are bowing to the two people in the felt tent in a way unique to Mikawa.
In addition to these two messengers, there were only two people sitting in the felt tent, and on the main seat was an old man wearing a sheepskin jacket with gray temples, and on the lower head was a deep-eyed man with a faint whiplash mark on his face.
These two people are Gu Yigu, the great patriarch of the Northern Sichuan Alliance, and the governor of the 50,000 Northern Sichuan cavalry, Bo Xile.
Glancing at the silent Boshel, Gu Yigu said to the two envoys in a deep voice: "The two envoys will rest in the tribe for a few days, and let us discuss it." β
Hearing this, one of the envoys said, "Great Patriarch, this matter is very important, and it should not be delayed......
Gu Yigu smiled and said, "It's because the stakes are so important that you have to think more calmly and thoughtfully, isn't it?" β¦β¦ Come, send two envoys to the tribe to rest, so that they can be entertained. β
As soon as the words fell, two big men with thick waists and round shoulders walked into the felt tent, and one of them said in an urn voice: "Two envoys, please." β
Seeing Gu Yigu's resolute attitude, the two messengers could only follow the two strong men out of the felt tent as they said.
After they had left, Gu Yigu picked up the croissant on the table in front of him, took a sip of goat's milk wine, and asked Bosile, "What do you think, Bosil?" β
Bo Xile, the commander of the 50,000 cavalry in northern Sichuan, his eyes fluctuated slightly.
The two envoys, one from the Wusu tribe and the other from the Ka tribe, were both distinguished guests in terms of status.
The Wusu tribe, that is, the royal court, is therefore a matter of course, and the Karma tribe, if you go back several generations or more than ten generations, it can be called the mother clan of all the Karma people in Sanchuan, whether it is the Antelope tribe, the Qiang tribe, or the former Karma tribe, etc., can be regarded as a sub-tribe of the Karma tribe.
In a sense, the Wusu tribe is equivalent to the king of the Central Plains country, while the Qian tribe is equivalent to the regent's minister.
Of course, the times are different now, and the Northern Sichuan Alliance will not be afraid of the Wuxu Royal Court or the Qiang tribe at all, because the Northern Sichuan Alliance also has a strong military force, such as the 50,000 cavalry of the Northern Sichuan under the control of Bosil.
However, everyone knows that the North Sichuan Alliance is only superficially powerful, and it is controlled by the Sichuan Alliance, and under the latter's supervision and control, the North Sichuan Alliance is deprived of even the right to own a flock, and can only get food from the Sichuan Alliance every once in a while.
Although the food was sufficient, it was undeniably humiliating, because according to the cultural customs of the steppe, only slaves were unworthy of having a flock (which amounted to wealth).
Looking back at the reason, there is no other, just because the Northern Sichuan Alliance is the vanquished, therefore, they can only watch the prosperity of the city dozens of miles away, and watch the Sichuan Alliance become richer and richer.
"......" Bossile was expressionless, just drinking to himself.
Seeing this, Gu Yigu did not urge, and said as if talking to himself: "The situation of Wei has not been very good recently, it is said that Korea has been at war with Wei again, I am thinking, maybe Wei will indeed face the situation of five sides attacking Wei......"
Hearing this, Bosil glanced at Gu Yigu and said nothing.
The five sides attacked Wei, this is the top secret information revealed by the two envoys of Fang Cai in order to persuade them to defect, although Bosil does not know how these people did it, but it is undeniable that the Wuxu royal court did have the support of the Qin state, and Korea has indeed started a war with the Wei state in the Hexi and Hedong areas.
Only the Song Prefecture in the east of Wei and the Chu State in the south are still unclear whether they will join the ranks of the Wei crusade.
However, looking at the sworn and confident appearance of the two envoys just now, I believe that there will not be much difference.
That is to say, Wei is indeed facing a joint attack by the five forces, and is at its weakest time in history.
β¦β¦ So, how do I do it?
Bossile raised his hand and touched the whip mark on his face, which stretched from his left forehead to his right cheek, and although many years had passed, he had never forgotten the origin of the whip mark.
It was the whip mark left on his face by his father-in-law, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, Bitatu, after his defeat.
According to the tribal shamans (witch doctors) who later treated him, he almost lost one of his eyes.
But even so, Bosil still did not have the slightest intention of hating Bitatu's father-in-law, after all, on the day of his defeat, he killed several children who were crying and clamoring to surrender, but handed over the last cavalry of the Qiangjiao tribe to his righteous son, Bosil, and asked him to take these warriors to surrender to the Wei people, which has already explained a lot.
β¦β¦ I'm done here, but you shouldn't die here.
Bossil still remembers the last words of his stepfather, Bitatu, before he died.
With these words, Bosil left the city at that time, and watched his father-in-law at the head of the city, still provoking the Wei man, and then the Wei man ordered hundreds of catapults to throw fire oil at the city where the Kajiao tribe had lived for several generations, turning the whole city into a sea of fire.
To this day, there is still no grass growing in the area of that ruined city.
The Father-in-law (Bitatu) is a warrior!
Only he refused to surrender to the Wei man at the last moment, killed his wife and children with his own hands, and calmly died.
β¦β¦ So now, what do I choose?
Holding the croissant and sipping the goat's milk wine, Bossile pondered quietly.
It is undeniable that the two envoys are right, in the face of the five-way attack on Wei, the Wei State is currently in the weakest stage, if he defects to the Northern Sichuan Alliance, plus the 50,000 cavalry in his hands, they can even make up 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry.
Leading this cavalry, they united with the Qin State and the Wuxu Royal Court, the Qian tribe, and the Ling tribe, and it was really possible to break away from the control of the Wei State and regain control of the land of Sanchuan.
It is even possible to take advantage of the weakness of Wei to counterattack into the territory of Wei, just like in the era of King Wuxu decades ago.
But......
Taking a deep breath, Bosil turned his gaze to Guyigu and asked seriously, "What do you think?" Uncle. β
He was very sincere in asking Gu Yigu, because Gu Yigu was the only person at that time who was willing to go to the Yellow Springs with Bitatu as he did.
However, Gu Yigu didn't directly say the words of the Qin State or the Wei State on the side, he just said in a sighing tone: "Bitatu is just reckless, but his eyesight is not wrong. He once said that he did not regret the war between Qiangjiao and Wei, he just felt that the battle came too late...... Because at that time, Wei State had the ability to start a war with the outside world, which was a very dangerous signal, you must know that our clan was only able to get the land of Sanchuan when Wei was weak after the war between Wei and Korea, and if it had the ability to take it back, Wei would take it back sooner or later...... At the time, I thought that Bitatu was right, that the shepherd and the farmer could really live in peace. We don't understand their language, and they can't understand our questions...... However, we ultimately failed, and that Wei man defeated us. β
"......," Bossil was silent.
Without waiting for Bosil's reaction, Gu Yigu continued: "I still remember that on the last day, Bitatu once said that after the defeat of the Qiangjiao, the Wei people will gradually control Sanchuan, and those who follow the others will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Lun has become a behemoth...... And the once powerful horns can't even retain the tribal name. β¦β¦ Last year, the Yi tribe also joined the Sichuan Alliance, which reaffirmed my belief in Bitatu's foresight, and he said that we would no longer have the opportunity to have true freedom. This incident also confirms the ...... Those people who live in big houses, wear Wei clothes, and speak Wei dialect in Ruocheng are really still our compatriots? β
"......" Bossile touched the rim of the croissant and said nothing.
Compared with the Northern Sichuan Alliance, the Wei situation of the tribal people in the Sichuan Alliance is more serious, especially those of the Yi people, in addition to calling themselves Di when they are external, the rest of their words and deeds, clothing, food, housing and behavior, are gradually emulating the Wei people.
If this development continues, it may be that after a few decades, the Wei State will not need to recover Sanchuan through war at all, because the Sichuan people in Sanchuan will be almost exactly the same as the Wei people by then.
Bossil felt that this may be the deep meaning of what his father-in-law said that we will no longer have the opportunity to have real freedom, because the entire nation has been kidnapped and assimilated by the Wei people, and there is no longer a real Sanchuan people.
Thinking of this, Bosile couldn't help but ask, "So, what does the uncle mean to take this opportunity to stand on his own?" β
"Self-reliance?" Gu Yigu smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Do you have the courage to be the enemy of that Wei people?" The Wei man who defeated Bitatu ......"
Hearing this, Bosil's face changed slightly, and he knew very well that the Wei man Gu Yigu was talking about was Ji Run, the son of Wei.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't. β
In Bosil's stunned gaze, Gu Yigu sighed and said, "That Wei young man...... No, he can't be called a teenager anymore, he ...... It's too strong. The city of Henan, where you have lived for several generations, was originally a city built in the early days of the Wei Kingdom, and even, there was a period of time in the early days of the Wei Kingdom that the capital was built in that city, but the Wei people did not hesitate to turn the city of Henan into a scorched earth, or after the victory or defeat of the war, when there were only a few people in the city, the Wei people did not hesitate to use hundreds of barrels of precious fire oil to destroy the entire city, so that the area has no grass to this day...... He was in Liwei, and he was warning us Sichuan people, as he said at the beginning, he could fight with us while asking the soldiers to sprinkle salt on the captured land, so as to ensure that every inch of land conquered by their Wei people would not grow grass...... I was really scared. β¦β¦ There is no Sanchuan in the Wei State, it is still the Wei State, and we have lost the Sanchuan, what is left? β
Hearing this, Bossil couldn't help but get goosebumps.
On that day, Wei Gongzi Ji Run's bold words, I believe that no Sichuan people did not feel frightened after hearing it.
"Unless Wei Gongzi Ji Run dies, otherwise, I don't dare to be an enemy of Wei." After glancing at Bosil, Gu Yigu said.
Listening to Gu Yigu's words, Bosile did not despise the other party at all, but he felt a sense of relief.
Because he had participated in the Battle of the Four Kingdoms against Chu, he knew very well that in that battle, Ji Run, the prince of Wei, only led 50,000 Wei soldiers to attack Chu at first, but in the end, he had more than 100,000 troops under his hands, not to mention Chu State, even he Bo Xile was dumbfounded - in this battle, there are more and more soldiers? It's not just slave grabbing.
Proceeding from his nature, Bosil really didn't want to be an enemy of that Wei Gongzi, after all, as far as he knew, a general of Chu with an army of 500,000 (Xiang Mo), plus a prince with an army of more than 200,000 (Shouling Jun Jingshe), could not defeat the Wei Gongzi Ji Run, whose strength was far less than the first two.
What's even more terrifying is that this Wei Gongzi has never suffered defeat so far, even if he is at war with the powerful Korea.
"Since you don't plan to be an enemy of that person, why did you meet those two envoys, uncle?" Bosile asked.
Gu Yigu took a deep look at Bosil, and then explained: "I want you to understand the situation that I am facing in Sanchuan now......"
Bossil was stunned when he heard this, and then he said: "Either Wei or Qin? β
"Hmm." With a somewhat abrupt sigh, Gu Yigu Zhengse said: "At the beginning, the three tribes of Qian, Ling, and Yi did not support Bitatu, and the era of our clan has already ended...... At the moment, the situation is already very clear, either by Wei or Qin, there will be no third way out...... As Bitatu said, we have lost our true freedom. β
"Uncle is optimistic about Wei State?" Bosil asked curiously, "Didn't the two envoys say that Wei is facing a five-party crusade?" β
Gu Yigu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "The more sheep there are, the more wolves will be attracted. If there is no special reason, will there be a situation in which the five sides will attack Wei? β
Bossile was stunned, and then nodded thoughtfully: If it weren't for the strength of Wei, why would Korea, Chu, and Qin abandon the face of a great power and unite to crusade against Wei?
"Bitatu once said to me, go and be a dog for the Wei people, although you lose your freedom, you may be able to get good benefits. β¦β¦ I used to think he was mocking us, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a dog to the Wei people, I saw Lu Balon from a distance when I went to Ruocheng a while ago, I was dumbfounded, that fat fat man, is it really the warrior of the Lun tribe back then? Gu Yigu pretended to be surprised.
Bosil smiled slightly, in fact, he also knew that many of the patriarchs in the Sichuan Alliance had fallen - the former tribal patriarchs were often the best warriors in the tribe, but now, those patriarchs may not be able to defeat a few of their own clansmen, and the rich and even luxurious life has made these heroic warriors fall.
At this time, Gu Yigu said again: "I used to be afraid that sooner or later, Wei Gongzirun would recapture Sanchuan from us through war, but now it seems that I have to admit that I underestimated him too much, he didn't think about fighting for Sanchuan back through war at all, his ambition was even greater, trying to merge us into the Wei people, but ...... There is nothing wrong with that, at least the people have a rich life. Just like we treat the Wei people as dogs, there is nothing wrong with this, but it is also a dog for the Wei people, Lu Balon eats meat, and we gnaw bones, which is beyond words. β
Looking at the slight cloudiness of Gu Yigu's eyes flashing with a few hints of wisdom, Bosil immediately understood the attitude of the great patriarch.
"The freshest entrails are given to the king, and the fat flesh is to be eaten by the wolf who leads the charge." Bossil said a proverb from the prairie in the language of the Pur people.
Gu Yigu smiled and nodded when he heard this.
After a while, Gu Yigu touched his beard, which was soaked in goat's milk wine, and said in a low voice, "The Wei Kingdom sent him, because only he can deter Sanchuan...... When he arrives in Sanchuan, he will contact us, and after all, the 50,000 cavalry under your command is also an indispensable force. β
"I see what Uncle means." Bossil nodded.
On the same day, Gouygu and Bosil talked for a while, and then they parted ways.
A few days later, the Yanjiao Army, the guardian army of the Wuxu Royal Court, had a small-scale tentative war with the Yi tribe, but neither the Sichuan Alliance nor the Northern Sichuan Alliance made any movement.
They are all waiting for one person, waiting for one person who will set foot on this land sooner or later - Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
The vast majority of Sichuan people were not afraid of Wei, but they were afraid of Ji Run, the son of Wei, because this man, wielding a money bag and a sharp sword, surrendered to the brave Sichuan people.
About two days later, Guyigu again invited Bosil to the chief's tent.
When Bosil came to the felt tent, he saw three Wei soldiers in armor standing in the felt tent.
Wei State Dangshan Army ......
Bossile narrowed his eyes, his spirits lifted.
As the Wei army that once caused massacres in the land of Sanchuan, the Dangshan army is famous for its murder in Sanchuan, so the Sichuan people also pay special attention to this Wei army.
For example, Bosil, he could even guess that one of the soldiers had the rank of chief by the carvings and patterns of the armor on the soldiers.
And when Bosil secretly guessed the intention of the Dangshan army, the Dangshan sergeant who was suspected of being the chief of the Dangshan army spoke: "His Royal Highness King Su has arrived in Ruocheng, and I have been specially sent to give an order, and the two of you are invited to meet you. β
The implication is probably that Guyigu and Bosil are required to meet each other in person.
After hearing these words, Gu Yigu frowned slightly, not because of the high posture of that Wei Gongzi, he just felt a little strange - in the situation that Wei was facing a five-party crusade, why did that Wei Gongzi still have such confidence, put on a high-profile posture, and ordered the two of them to meet each other?
Could it be that there is a hidden truth in this matter that they don't understand?
But on the whole, in the face of a certain Wei Gongzi's high profile, Gu Yigu was not angry but a little relieved, after all, it stands to reason that only on the basis of a certain amount of confidence would that Wei Gongzi be so high-profile.
Glancing at Bosil, Gu Yigu said respectfully in Wei Yan: "In this case, without further ado, please ask this soldier commander to lead the way, and the two of us will go immediately." β
"Immediately?" The Dangshan military commander was stunned, after all, although he was ordered to come to summon him, the higher authorities did not ask him to immediately bring Gu Yigu and Bosil to His Royal Highness King Su.
Quite acquainted......
The Dangshan Army Commander muttered to himself, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "That...... Prepare your horses, all three of us are horsemen. β
"Good!" Gu Yigu nodded and said.
Immediately, he ordered people to prepare a few fast horses, and only brought a few soldiers to protect them, and then followed the Dangshan army cavalry with Bosil to the place where Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was.
During this period, Gu Yigu asked the commander of the Dangshan Army: "Hasn't His Royal Highness King Su entered the city?" β
It may be that seeing Gu Yigu's good attitude, the Dangshan Army commander replied: "His Royal Highness King Su has not entered the city, and is temporarily stationed outside the city with my Dangshan Army hunting and riding battalion. β
"Oh." A few gleams flashed in Gu Yigu's eyes, and he nodded thoughtfully.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun was standing on a dirt slope in the south of the city, looking at the prosperous city comparable to the girder in the distance.
The once fallen city has become a prosperous city comparable to the capital of the King of Wei in just a few years, which gave Zhao Hongrun a great sense of achievement.
And not far from him, the big fat man who had lost his body shape, Lu Balong, the patriarch of the Lun clan of the Qi clan, was reporting to Zhao Hongrun with a solemn face on the recent situation of the Sichuan Alliance.
ββ¦β¦ Your Highness, I very much suspect that Halegoh has a secret connection with the Usu Court. At the meeting of the patriarchs a few days ago, he wanted us to remain neutral and not participate in the war between the Great Wei and the royal court, and even wanted to persuade us to support him in negotiating terms with Your Highness......"
"On what terms?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a frown.
"Recognize the rule of the royal court over Sanchuan, even if it is in name. He hoped that the Great Wei would be able to canonize another Wuxu king, as he had done decades ago, and dedicate a part of the proceeds of the Sichuan-Yu alliance to the royal court...... "Without hesitation, Lu Baron told Zhao Hongrun everything that Halgoh had told at the meeting that day.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned, and after half a sound, his brows gradually relaxed.
He did not doubt that Halgoh would make such a move, after all, Halgoh was a member of the Zong tribe, and the Wusu Royal Court, which was equivalent to the royal family of the Qiang people, was just like the real Wei people, that is, the Ji surnamed Zhao family, even if they were in the middle of the family, they would hardly fight against the Ji Zhao royal family, which was a kind of kinship and recognition from blood kinship.
Of course, understanding is understanding, and it does not mean that Zhao Hongrun will accept the proposal put forward by Halgoch.
Buying the Usu royal court with the money of power? Hey, wouldn't it be more beneficial for him to take this opportunity to get rid of them?
Taking a deep look at the city in the distance, Zhao Hongrun said expressionlessly: "The time has come to make a choice, Lu Balon, this time this king set foot in Sanchuan, there are only three types of people in his eyes, friends, enemies, and ...... Dead person. β
"I will stand firmly on your side, Your Highness." Lu Baron immediately knocked on one knee and said.
On the side, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and the corners of his mouth raised a somewhat inexplicable smile.
It's a clear and concise way to determine whether you're friend or foe......
Sima An must admit that he had misunderstood His Royal Highness King Su, and this His Royal Highness was by no means a benevolent woman.
Han and Chu's jealousy is not unreasonable, and it may have already appeared, and the second Qi king of the Central Plains, Lu Xi......
Sima An thought secretly.
