1400 Do not ask for lip service
There are many dead households in the border area of Liao, including many Youji soldiers. These people are very wise and foolish, but they are aware of the people and scenery of Liao border areas, which is their advantage."
Although Liu Qun was not very enthusiastic about Yang Wu, he also recognized some of his views: "These people temporarily committed themselves to the Liao border and were eager to stand out. There was no better choice in the old year, and they had to rely on the Donghu tribes. Now that the king's affairs are developing and creating the Liao border, they are also a rare help. If they cannot be comforted by the nearby border, they will inevitably be used by the barbarians and become an obstacle to the royal army's use."
Wen Fangzhi also recognized Liu Qun's view: "Although Xingtai has its own rules for recruiting scholars and employing people, it is inevitable that we should follow the expedient. The general appointed an envoy and did not make any more restrictions. He hoped that the envoy could make good use of his reputation and learn from the Liao border and help the king's life. I would increase one point and reduce one point in the enemy's position. The gains and losses will be double the gains and losses."
Of course, although they hope to attract those talents to enter the governor's mansion, they are not without standards. Portals like the Yang family in the Beiping that have already formed their own situation in the Liao border will not be trusted and trusted. If such portals are not suppressed and sanctioned, it will be a drinking poison to quench thirst, or they may be short-term profits, but in the long run it will still be an unpredictable hidden danger.
There is no disciple for the prognosis. In the past year, the situation in China collapsed sharply. Many people were deeply trapped and unable to get rid of it. It is inevitable that there will be a choice of following power and following suit. This is actually understandable. Even Liu Qun himself had to hide the Duan tribe and other Donghu tribes to be safeguarded. If he grasps these old things again, it will only force those people to continue to marry into the border.
The current situation in the Liao border is naturally great for them.
The Murong tribe's current forces have their own shortcomings. Murong Zun relied on his own power to take the initiative to take the position of King Yan, the King of Jie, which was a soldier. Murong killed his father and took the lead, which was contrary to human ethics and morality, and naturally he would not be able to follow the true heart. The Murong Jun and others in Liaodong had little power, and they were even more unreasonable.
Therefore, the current situation is already very obvious. The Youzhou Governor's Mansion, which was newly established here in Xingtai, is the preferred shelter for the people from the Liao border, and they no longer have more choices.
Under such circumstances, Liu Qun could also calmly use the Liao border talent and gradually enrich it into the governor's mansion to form a certain government order.
So now they have made clear contributions. Liu Qun is mainly responsible for receiving and recruiting these Liao border soldiers and absorbing the available people among them to enrich the governor's office. Wen Fangzhi is mainly responsible for the construction of strongholds from all parties and reorganizing various Hu tribes into use.
The military support is naturally dominated by the royal division commander led by Xu Lang. Although the troops are still very weak at present, after the King Division showed its due combat effectiveness in the battle of Tuhe, there will be no more blind people who dare to touch the royal division's edge in the short term. In addition, the current governor's mansion does not plan to advance in the inland area, because there is no danger or military force available for the time being.
As for the diplomatic level, Liu Qun and others decided to adhere to the principle of neutrality, especially for the Murong forces, who are in full swing of civil war, they maintain an attitude of not interfering deeply, and watch them kill each other.
Although Murong Zun was arrogant before, he was beaten to the point of pain in the battle of Tuhe. He did not dare to be arrogant anymore. He was even more worried that the king would retaliate for his previous provocative actions and obstruct him from returning to the country for unity. Because after returning to Zimengchuan, he did not continue to attract crowds to attack. Instead, he sent envoys to bring heavy goods to apologize, looking like he regretted his past and wanted to change his past.
Therefore, true dignity is always produced, especially in the border areas where the situation is already complicated. These Hu chiefs have their own plans and plans, and filial sons will appear under the stick. If they do not teach them enough lessons, they will not know who is the real father.
Although Murong Jiang and others have been encouraging Liu Qun to send troops to fight back to retaliate against Murong Zun, hoping to take advantage of the situation and pretend to be powerful, Liu Qun does not comment on this.
They didn't care who was the main person in the Murong tribe, and even hoped that this situation could be maintained for a period of time, preferably until the war in China was achieved.
If you take revenge on Murong Zun at the moment, it will only help Murong attack his opponent. Moreover, if Murong Zun is forced to face his life and death, he will have a high chance of completely surrendering to the Jie Kingdom. He still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Once he becomes the minion of Jie Kingdom, it will also bring certain variables to the war in China. Maintaining this state at the moment is a reasonable choice.
As for Murong, it is not advisable to have a complete relationship at present. Just like this, Murong defected to Jie Kingdom, hoping to use this to lie on the back of Jie Kingdom to suck blood. At present, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion also needs to use part of the Murong tribe's power to open up the situation. Maintaining a certain amount of communication is beneficial.
Not to mention anything else, although they have expressed their hope to submit to Xingtai to varying degrees, a considerable number of their families are still under Murong's control, which also makes them afraid to expose their attitudes too clearly.
The area controlled by Murong Jun and others in Liaodong was already the direction of Wen Fangzhi's plan to open up and restore the governance, but the current troops are not enough to support this broad advance, because they still need to accumulate momentum and wait for the fighter.
Yang Wu was so upset in Tuhe for a few days. Seeing that the people who were traveling with Liu Qun and others were more involved, he couldn't help feeling lonely and sad, and he also realized that he had no bargaining chips to negotiate with the other party.
This time, it was really smart but was mistaken for cleverness. Because he was worried that Xingtai would interfere in Liao affairs even further, he wanted to support Murong to continue to compete with each other. However, he did not expect that the internal strife of Murong gave Xingtai a more room for interference. The current chaos even dispersed the hearts of the people, which made people even more uncontrollable.
During this period, the situation in the Liao border did not stagnate. After Murong Zun settled for a few days and confirmed that the Southern King's Division had no sign of revenge, he told the Liaoxi Lingzhi to make further reinforcements. The front of his troops had already reached outside Daji City, and the battle seemed to be about to begin.
Murong is now suffering from an enemy from both sides, and is increasingly dissatisfied with Yang Wu's lack of progress. He sent people to Tuhe to urge him several times. After the arrival of the envoys, he also reported the latest situation in Dajicheng. The Yang family members who stayed in Dajicheng had been controlled by Murong. It is obvious that if Yang Wu had no actual progress, Murong would probably take punishment again.
After learning about these situations, Yang Wu became even more sad and angry. Although he still had a strong resentment in his heart, he had to lower his head for the sake of the lives of his family in the rear and continue to see Liu Qun.
However, Liu Qun's identity has become different from the past. In addition, the Tuhe power has gradually grown and the affairs have become more and more. Even if he is not deliberately arrogant, he will not wait for Yang Wu to come to pay a visit every day.
Because Yang Wu had invited him several times, and with the requests from Pei Kai and others, Liu Quncai finally took time to meet Yang Wu.
This time, Yang Wu finally realized the facts. When facing Liu Qun, he no longer dared to claim to be a savior and ask for any benefit to share. His attitude became more respectful and his words became more earnest: "Thank you, Liu Gongbai, for taking the time to spend time, and I am nostalgic for seeing me again..."
"The situation in the Liao border was treacherous. The former Liaodong Duke refused to take into account the wishes of the people and turned against the Jie thieves. He was indeed self-destructive. The Lord of Daji City felt that the king's way was broad and he was unwilling to abandon the righteous and the evil. Because of the act of resolute chaos and returning to the right, it was indeed contrary to human ethics, but he really catered to the king's righteousness and did not dare to abandon himself because of the unchanged physique of the border. The etiquette may not be tolerated, and the feelings are really pity. Since the stolen power, he has also been worried, afraid and cautious, and has rushed to send me to this point and dare not ask for more. He only hopes that the kings and ministers of this border can be compassionate with loyalty and righteousness and provide some protection for a little bit of protection..."
These words are already very earnest, which shows that the sluggishness and beatings these days have not been ineffective.
After listening to it, Liu Qun's face became much gentler. He raised his hand and said to Yang Wu: "All these things are repeated here. I am also waiting and watching. There is no need for Yang Jun to make another defense in the choice of love and friendship. Now I am also telling you the truth. The Lord of Daji City can bravely destroy relatives for the sake of justice and make the Liao soldiers naturalized. My selfishness is also quite commendable. However, although I have been trusted by the General, I dare not be able to be loyal to my kindness and be especially famous and have a special reputation. I have a general who will examine and judge the wise men of Taiwan. It is far from being able to speak lightly by my side."
"Whether the Lord of Daji City really has a naturalized conscience, I can say anything privately between you and Mr. Yang, but if you really want to win the trust of Lord Xingtai, it will not depend on you and me. I believe that Mr. Yang can understand the etiquette rules and regulations in this article. What I can do here is just the convenience of urgently submitting the etiquette. As for the final result, I will still be able to wait for the etiquette decree."
Although Liu Qun had not made a clear statement, he finally let it go. Yang Wu felt sure after hearing this. He was prepared, and immediately submitted the letter of nationality that he had brought here early in the morning to Liu Qun and thanked him again: "The Lord of Daji City hopes to go to the stage for a lecture, just like the seedlings looking up at the nectar, and he is unwilling to wait for a moment. He also asked Mr. Liu to remember this affection deeply and help accomplish things. When the chaos is settled, he will thank you again later."
In fact, there has been many debates over whether to accept Murong's re-estimation. Among them, Lu Chen is the one who firmly opposes the situation.
Putting aside the cunning and repetitive issues of Murong's own, Lu Chen believes that Murong's killing of his father alone is a rebellious: "Filial piety is natural and the basis of human relations. Murong kills his father with a vicious hand, and the law of nature does not tolerate it. How can such evil species be able to do the kingly rules and regulations of the reputation and position of the people lightly!"
But Wen Fangzhi had another opinion. He believed that Murong was born with the reputation of killing his father, but he could provide appropriate support. Murong's army has long been proclaiming respect for the Xia seal system, so he attracted many Liao border soldiers to use it. Now Murong has challenged the bottom line of human relations, which will also make many of his followers need to bear more moral pressure.
"Besides, benevolence, righteousness, filial piety and brotherhood are my rules and regulations in the Xia Dynasty, and it is not a custom for the Border Hu. The beasts are only fierce and self-reliant, so there is no need to hope to educate them with benevolence and righteousness, otherwise why would the disaster in Yongjia be in Yongjia? The killing of the father has nothing to do with China's affairs, and now it is just because it needs to be punished or punished, but it has nothing to do with morality. Even if the worldly style is corrupt, there are more victims of Baihu. Since then, the father and son are separated and brothers are in harmony, so what will it harm me?"
Wen Fangzhi adhered to the style of his work since Master's plan, and never hoped to educate the four sides and six barbarians with benevolence and righteousness. I would not kill you because I lack strength in the short term or leave you with other uses, but I will never believe that you can trust you with a strong reputation by dressing up benevolence and righteousness.
When it comes to bearing China's favor, the Southern Xiongnu slaughtered the tribes for a long time, but the first one to scrambled the tribes for China was the tribes. At the beginning, Zhao and Liu Yuan of the Han Dynasty also claimed to himself as a blood descendant of the Han Dynasty, which has to be said to be a kind of sarcasm.
Therefore, when dealing with these sluts, there is no need to use human ethics as the standard of choice. You must focus on reality. If you want to get along with me, you must first reflect your usefulness.
Liu Qun didn't care about Yang Wu's so-called heavy thanks that he would not benefit. After a moment of statement, he waved his hand and said, "I was appointed by the General in the Northeast and I was the one who was responsible for Bian Xian. I was inconvenient to interfere in Murong's private affairs, but I have long been betrayed Xingtai. Now his son will be rewarded with Xingtai again, it will be very difficult. I believe Yang Jun can understand this."
Yang Wu's face had just soothed, but after hearing this, his old face wrinkled again: "The Lord of Daji City is loyal and sincere, and even hurts the king and father, just to be able to..."
"It's better not to mention the filth and chaos in the border. As for the heart-wrenching thoughts, alas, to be honest, why didn't I support Wang Ye? Jingping Heshuo's great ambitions are not yet fifty years old in life and nothing can be achieved?"
Liu Qun was willing to laugh at himself, just telling Yang Wu a truth: they were all old traitors who were immersed in this area. Who hadn't saved a basket of beautiful words? If it was just red mouths and white teeth, there was no need to talk nonsense.
"I also ask Mr. Liu, please give me advice."
Yang Wu pondered for a moment and had to continue to bow his head. What are the conditions for Liu Qun?
Liu Qun then smiled: "Recently, I have often had friendship and discussions with old people from the Liao border. In the past year, the kings were weak, and they had no choice but to rely on the Liao border. They were also very grateful to repay the favors of Murong's tribe. But now China is victorious and Youyan is re-governed, so they are in a hurry. They also want to recommend themselves to the king and help the country. It is a dilemma, almost the decision of the Lord of Daji City to seek justice. I hope that Lord of Daji City can feel this aspiration and do not use the kindness of the old year to block them from the king's return to rule, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a loss of human nature!"
When Yang Wu heard this, his face became a little ugly. He was openly trying to poach in person. He couldn't help but feel angry that his fellow travelers were expressing their opinions quickly. He had already talked about asking Liu Qun to force Murong to let them go.
"This, this..."
Seeing Yang Wu looking embarrassed, Liu Qun did not continue to make things difficult for him, and looked understanding: "I know that Yang Jun was sent to others and couldn't help it. This is okay. I have time to wait for the Lord of Daji City to reply."
After saying that, he stood up and acted like seeing off guests.
Liu Qun naturally had enough time, but Yang Wu did not. Murong Zun had already arrived at Dajicheng, and the battle could happen at any time. Naturally, Liaodong would not watch safely. Once he joined in, the three-way melee would not be able to do so.
So Yang Wu could only send a message to Murong in a hurry, and he naturally could not make decisions about such things. In fact, in his heart, he also hoped that Liu Qun could also speak out for him and force Murong to let his family go. But he also knew that Murong was definitely not a good person who could tolerate. If he knew that he was called asking for help, he actually had other plans and might directly light a butcher knife to his family.
Dajicheng responded quickly. Murong said that the families of scholars who were willing to join the Youzhou Governor's Mansion could be sent to Tuhe, but he also left a scheming, just making excuses to strong enemies on the shore, and it was difficult to move. He hoped that the Governor's Mansion could send a royal army to support him.
Of course, Murong hopes to create an illusion that the royal army sent troops to help him, so as to slightly relieve the pressure on the front battlefield. At the same time, he also throws the problem to Liu Qun. Since you plan to create a situation in the Liao border, it depends on whether you have the strength. If you don’t even have the courage to send troops to help these scholars and families, what will you talk about to attract their loyalty?
Little did he know that his response was exactly what Liu Qun and others thought, and they were worried that there would be no opportunity to go out again. The battle of Tuhe was indeed beautiful, but the number of Liao border kings was limited. This is another indisputable fact. If there was no early communication and act rashly, it would attract the attention of the Murong troops in the strife of several parties, or they would join forces to resist.
Just as a matter of fact, a certain foundation has been laid here in Tuhe, and more people have been governed, and Murong Jiang and others have also used their strength in defense. So Liu Qun directly appointed Xu Lang to lead his king's army to Pinglinkou, and fortifications here.
Pinglinkou is the estuary of the Liao River. From this, the waterway can directly reach the hinterland of the Liao border and is also an important fulcrum for the entire Liaodong Bay plan. Only by obtaining this place can the strongholds on both sides of the east and west can it be echoed.
If it was normal, it was not easy for the King of Kings to obtain such a stronghold. The geographical location here was too important. Once you control it here and then control the Liaoshui waterway, it would be equivalent to directly cutting the Liaozhong Middle School, because Murong's troops also had many constructions here.
However, the tribe is now in a greater internal strife, and Murong's power is compressed around Daji City and cannot be extended. The defenders who were originally stationed in Pinglinkou were also transferred back to Daji City, and were occupied so easily by the royal army.
When Murong proposed this condition, his original intention was to hope that the king's army could advance eastward from Tuhe land to the outside of the battlefield, but he did not expect that the king's army simply bypassed the land battlefield and arrived at the important place behind him. He also complained for a while.
Unfortunately, he had no confidence to bargain at the moment, and he could only think about the benefits of everything. Anyway, he was unable to divide his troops to station in Pinglinkou. If this place fell into the hands of the Jin army, he could at least help him bear some of the pressure from Liaodong. It would not be too distressing to sell his land. The most important thing is that he hopes to get the recognition of Nanguo Shitai as soon as possible in the ceremony.
So Murong could only send some scholars from the border of Liao and their families to Pinglinkou, which completely gave up the help of this part of the talents. At the same time, he also urged Liu Qun to pass his demands to Xingtai as soon as possible.
He had a group of available people under his command, and in addition to Pingguo, the several strongholds in the plan were under control. Liu Qun was also worried that Murong was defeated too suddenly and there was no room for further profitability afterwards, and he no longer delayed it. In addition to sending envoys to Luoyang Xingtai to report, there were also rumors warning Murong Zun to immediately give up the title of King Yan, otherwise he would be able to join forces with Murong to fight Murong Zun.
Anyway, who is a thief in Murong is not a concern for Xingtai, but if anyone is disrespectful to the King of Xingtai, it is a matter of trouble.
