Wei Cao's fingers unconsciously lightly clasped the desk, revealing a look of memory: "I first went to the grassland thirty years ago. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) It was the fourth year of Xianning, the last year of Bo Yugong's tenure as a general in Youzhou and the general of the expedition to the north......"
6 Yao knew that the "Boyu Gong" in Wei Cao's mouth was Wei Boyu, a native of Anyi, Hedong, one of the founding ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty. When Emperor Wen destroyed Shu, Wei Qian was the supervisor of the army, and the western military division of the town commanded thousands of troops, and supervised the general Zhong Hui and Deng Ai in the supervision of the army. Subsequently, Wei Qian successively served in Qingzhou, Youzhou Thorn History, Zhendong General, Zhengbei General, Shizhong, Shang Shuling, Taibao Lu Shang Shushi and other important positions, all of which are known as clear and fair, many of them are built and honored, and they are deeply relied on by the center. It is said that this Bo Yugong had long seen that the prince was weak and could not be the lord of the world, so he held his drunken hand to the seat of Emperor Wu during the banquet of the ministers and said: "It's a pity for this seat! So it was prescient.
This story has been passed down to later generations, so there is an allusion to the so-called "Wei Qian caressing the bed". It's a pity that Wei Qian was also resented by the demon queen Jia because of this move, and was finally killed by Sima Wei, the king of Chu, in the first year of Yuankang.
Wei Cao chuckled at 6 Yao: "I'm old, the old man will inevitably have some chatter, General 6 must not blame." ”
6 Yao only asked Wei Cao why he didn't show worry when the homeless people were in danger, but Wei Cao opened his mouth and said that the famous ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty who sat in Youzhou thirty years ago seemed to be very off-topic. But there must be a reason for a character like him to speak, so 6 Yao didn't say much, just listened quietly.
"At that time, the Great Jin Dynasty was founded only 14 years, after the second generation of Xuan and Wen assisted the Wei Dynasty to govern, the political affairs in the interior of the Central Plains were peaceful, the people were happy with their business, and the household registration grew ten times that of the late Han Dynasty. At the same time, the martial arts of the national dynasty were at their peak, and before the founding of the country, they had waved their troops to destroy Xishu, overturning by three points in one fell swoop, and Chen soldiers were hundreds of thousands in Huainan, forcing the Eastern Wu rats to flee and dare not look north. The princes in the court all thought that it was not far off to mix with the world, and the Great Jin Dynasty would be able to reopen the peace and build a foundation that was not easy for generations. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Cao couldn't help but sigh. Coincidentally, 6 Haruka also sighed. In the memory of 6 Yao, although it was not very pleasant for Shiheng Gong and Shilong Gong to run to the door of the powerful in those years, the thousand-year-old Emperor Jing and Jingu Youxi still left a deep impression on the ignorant young man from Wu Land. It was a rare day of peace, but unfortunately, it was nothing more than a beautiful building built on a pile of sand, and only a few years later, it was like a cloud blown away by a hurricane.
However, the external troubles of the Great Jin Dynasty had already appeared at that time. In various parts of northern Xinjiang, the Xianbei ethnic groups gradually recovered from the chaotic period after Kebineng's death, and their power became stronger and stronger, bringing terrible losses to the border soldiers and civilians. The western Xianbei and Qianghu united, broke through Liangzhou and Qinzhou, killed hundreds of thousands of people, the tragic situation is indescribable, and the two Liangzhou assassins before and after were defeated and died. The Xianbei army in the east attacked Buyeo, Goguryeo and other Great Jin vassal states, and once entered the Liaodong county. Even the central Tuoba Xianbei, who claimed to be subservient to the Great Jin Dynasty, repeatedly invaded Guangning, Shanggu, Daijun and other places, killing and plundering thousands of people before and after, and taking away countless assets...... Although Bo Yugong is the general of Youzhou and the Northern Expedition, he suffers from the slackness of military equipment in Northern Xinjiang. He has few troops and lazy generals, unable to turn the tide on the east-west border. However, Bo Yugong did not sit idly by and watch the situation deteriorate, and he persuaded the Luoyang Imperial Court to release the Desert Khan, the son of Tuoba Xianbei Dadan Yu Liwei, who had been stranded in China and Korea for decades, with the intention of influencing the Hu tribes with the Desert Khan, who was close to the Jin Dynasty, and maintaining stability on the northern border......"
6 Yao always believed that the fundamental problem faced by the Great Jin Dynasty was not external troubles, but internal troubles, so he never disdained such power schemes. Hearing this, he couldn't help but whisper: "It's a pity that Wei Tingshi's plan didn't succeed. On the way back to the north, Desert Khan was killed by a chief who was unwilling to change his old customs, and Yu Liwei, who lost his son-in-law, died of grief. ”
"Bo Yugong's wisdom is as deep as the abyss, and his plan is by no means as simple as you think." For him, Wei Qian's old subordinate, 6 Yao's assertion was a bit abrupt. Wei Cao glanced at Liu Yao deeply and continued: "Although Desert Khan was tragically killed, the contradictions between the chieftains and commanders within Tuoba Xianbei have also intensified. The following year, Li Wei, who had been in power for decades, passed away, and all forces were ready to move, all of them seeking the position of Dadanyu. Although Tuoba Xianbei is one of the strongest clans in northern Xinjiang, when the internal division was at that time, it still needed to rely on the majesty of the imperial court after all. So Bo Yugong took advantage of the opportunity of all parties to ask the imperial court, successfully intervened, and sent his subordinates to Tuoba Xianbei to deal with relevant government affairs. That subordinate was me, who was the guard of the general of Yamen under the account of Boyu at that time. ”
"Our trip is by no means to coerce foreign races for personal gain, but to entangle the Jin people who have been scattered on the grassland over the years as a force, so as to promote Tuoba Xianbei to defend the Jin dynasty and stabilize the northern frontier." Wei Cao raised his voice slightly, and his tone contained irrepressible pride: "Not long after Wei joined Tuoba Xianbei, Bo Yugong was suddenly transferred from the imperial court, and he never set foot in the north again. And the subsequent generations of Youzhou Assassins are all mediocre people, and they are not enough to keep secrets. As a result, we can only act in our own power. Cao is not talented, Bo has literary strategy, martial arts, so he can use it, and a few years later, he served as an auxiliary minister, and then assisted the son of Desert Khan, Tuoba Yi, for 20 years. During this period, more and more Jin people flowed into the grassland because they could not bear the harsh government of the imperial court. We gathered together and secretly exerted great influence on the chiefs of the various tribes. It is we who cut Tuoba Xianbei into the eastern, central, and western parts to divide its forces; It is we who promote friendship with the Jin Dynasty to stabilize the northern frontier; It is we who gradually repatriate the captive Jin population, with the way of benevolence and filial piety; It was also we who urged Tuoba Yihui to form an alliance with his predecessor and the assassin Shi Sima Teng, and twice raised troops to fight the Xiongnu to save the peril of the Great Jin Dynasty! ”
6 Yao was stunned for a moment.
Before going north to the grassland this time, 6 Yao did a lot of research on the Wei clan, and racked his brains to remember that in the "Book of Wei" that was circulated in later generations, this monarch's biography was second only to the kings of the Northern Wei clan, and he was among the most important ministers of the founding of the country. This treatment is not trivial, Zhang Liangxiao is to the former Han Dynasty, Xun Yu Xun is to Cao Wei, and that's it. However, what this extremely powerful person in the Tuoba Xianbei clan said at this moment was completely different from what 6 Yao had originally understood.
His words were astonishing. But when you think about it, it makes sense.
Over the years, the Great Jin Dynasty has been in turmoil, the kings have seized the throne, and hundreds of thousands of troops have killed each other, killing rivers of blood. The once powerful Great Jin has become a piece of fat in the eyes of the Saiwaihu people. Ke Tuoba Xianbei, the strongest of the Saiwaihu clan, has always been attached to the Jin family. After Tuoba Yi's death, his younger brother Yilu also used his troops to rescue Jinyang under the great pressure of the eastern lord Lu Guan. Is this really as Sima Teng and Tuoba Yihui praised by Le Shi when they met the alliance, and the Tuoba Xianbei clan led "Shun the heavens and people, pure filial piety and nature"? Or is it just the result of Yue Shigong's covenant with him?
Of course not.
Regardless of whether it is Yiyi or Yilu, the decisions made as tribal leaders must be supported by the clansmen after all. And the Wei clan, as well as the Jin people and the wanderers who united around them, were the decisive forces that secretly pushed Tuoba Xianbei to the imperial court.
6 Yao was ordered by Liu Kun to go north to Daijun, with the purpose of cooperating with Wen Qiao to pacify the situation of Tuoba Xianbei and maintain the support of the Yilu family to the imperial court. There is no doubt that this move is of great significance to the annexation of the state and to the situation in northern Xinjiang as a whole. And the same thing, the Daijun Wei clan with Wei Cao as the leader has already started and has been working tirelessly for a full thirty years!
Thirty years! It is Su Wu, who has been recited for thousands of years, and he has only been stranded in Beihai for 19 years! How many hardships and obstacles should there be in these 30 years of hard work? 6 Haruka knew that it must be a hardship that he couldn't imagine.
"The sacrifices we have made to do this are uncountable. 6. The general should know how rough and fierce the character of the Xianbei people is. They often use killing as a means of political struggle, and the Danhan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony a month ago is by no means precedent. Over the years, we have been attacked countless times by tribes hostile to the Great Jin, and we have also taken the initiative to destroy the enemy countless times. In those battles, many of the Wei clan's descendants withered one after another, including my four sons...... All my children! Wei Cao's tone gradually turned heavy, he supported his body with his hand, and his suppressed breathing was clearly audible: "In order to complete the task assigned by Bo Yugong, my Wei clan has done its best, and each of us is worthy of it." ”
Wei Cao's hands are rough and wide, his arms are knotted, and there are many obvious scars distributed on it. These hands show that although Wei Cao often appears as a scribe in the Xianbei tribe, he is also a martial artist, a young ranger in Northern Xinjiang who was once known for his heroic wandering. In the past thirty years, these two warriors have fought with swords, swords, and lances, and I don't know how many bloody storms and painful experiences they have endured with him, before they finally stood firmly among the wolves!
6 Yao got up and took the teacup, poured some water and held it to Wei Cao, and made a gesture respectfully to use it.
Wei Cao took the teacup and drank it down, and his breath gradually calmed down: "In the past thirty years, the Jin people in Tuoba Xianbei's sphere of influence have never received the slightest help from the imperial court. Therefore, even if the situation is worse this time, we don't have much expectation from the imperial court. 6 General, you are right, while I was waiting in the barracks to talk to you, my people, the Jin people I had gathered over the years, were forced to retreat to the source of the water due to the invasion of the Xianbei people. However, I really don't worry about it. ”
He raised his head and looked at 6 Yao calmly: "That's because, similar dangers, or lives lost because of this, I, Wei Deyuan, have seen too much...... I'm used to it. ”
