Chapter 526 The court proclamation
He Hu felt sad and bitterly, and he gave a bitter salute: "He Hu can understand the truth that the general said. In fact, my Helan tribe has Liu Bobo, a life-and-death enemy in Anyang. If it weren't for the fortress to guard in Anyang, Liu Bobo would like to take Guanzhong again and would not want to get too entangled with me too much. I'm afraid my Helan tribe has already died. Please rest assured. He Hu has sincerely surrendered and will never dare to have any resentment!"
Wei Feng nodded and said, "You have such a mentality to avoid disasters for your tribe members. It's great, but I have to say more. Throughout history, countless tribes have been destroyed in the long river of history. There are many people who are ten times stronger than your Helan tribe, so you can live well and continue your bloodline. This is more important than anything else. In this way, Japan will prepare food and grass for you. You will lead your tribe back to Anyang to bring the tribe members. It will be enough for half a year?"
The guard was shocked and looked at Wei Feng in disbelief. Wasn't he worried that he would never return?
Wei Feng seemed to see through his thoughts and said lightly: "He Hu, since you surrendered to me, I should treat you with sincerity. Whether you come or not depends on your thoughts, you will be very considerate."
He Hu was a little moved and hurriedly said, "I betrayed the Tuoba family, but there is still a reason for it. The general has a kindness and no grudge against me. If you betray me again, I am afraid that the world will not tolerate me. Please rest assured, half a year is enough!"
In fact, He Hu knew that the world was so big, but apart from honestly taking his tribesmen to Wei Feng, there was no way to go. Wei Feng's military front would sooner or later sweep to Anyang, and then he would definitely do his best to clear it out without any mercy.
After all, the Helan tribe faced the same dilemma as the Tuoba clan, and was surrounded by Rouran in the northwest direction. Rouran was too big. With the tens of thousands of tribes of the Helan tribe alone, they could only be the result of being annexed. Many of the subordinate tribes that were annexed by Rouran, such as Turks, Mengwu, Shiwei, etc., were like slaves. You beat and killed and endured extremely heavy exploitation. Instead of being swallowed by Rouran, it was better to be swallowed by Wei Feng. Wei Feng was only a discrete tribe, naturalizing the Helan tribes into his own people, and would not exploit or enslave them.
So He Hu gritted his teeth and added: "General, I have more than 60,000 tribe members in Helan. After returning this time, I will let the general arrange it. However, we are all warriors who have experienced many battles. We are unfamiliar with farming and grazing. Now I am willing to follow the general to conquer the world. Please forgive me!"
He Hu bowed deeply, and seemed extremely sincere. Wei Feng pondered for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Well. When you bring your tribe back, you will lead your subordinates to follow me. Because of the progress of your merits, you will treat everyone equally."
"Thank you, General, let's arrange to go to Anyang tomorrow. He Hu will leave!" He Hu shook a bow and turned away.
As soon as He Hu left, Xu Daofu also walked over and bowed: "General, are you going to attack Yanmen soon? Daofu is willing to lead the army."
Wei Feng said without hesitation: "Okay, you and Enzhuo will lead 50,000 infantry and cavalry in three days. After capturing Yanmen, you will lead 20,000 troops to guard it. Enzhuo will bring the remaining troops back and come back for a limited time. Our army must take down Pingcheng before the Yellow River thaws!"
"Abide by the order!" Xu Daofu and Xian Enzhuo both received the order.
......
Two hours later, Xiang Mi led 30,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry and craftsmen to come. After meeting the evening, he calculated the rough results. He killed nearly 15,000 Wei people in total. The Wei Feng army also killed nearly 10,000 people, most of whom were killed by arrows on the top of the city. This also means that more Wei people were shot by the defenders. Pingcheng originally had 70,000 troops. After this defeat, the troops were only left with just over 50,000 troops.
The next morning, He Hu led his troops to leave, and Wei Feng mobilized people to dig trenches and siege the three layers outside the three layers in Pingcheng. Although Tuoba Si wanted to break the attack, there was no way. Every section of the trenches was guarded by a large number of crossbowmen and crossbow gunners. If you leave the city, you will die. Now Pingcheng is one less. Wei Feng is different. Even if a large number of soldiers are killed, you can quickly replenish them from other places. This is the difference between a strong country and a weak country. Wei State has already fallen for a weak country.
On the fourth day, Xu Daofu and Xian Enzhuo led 50,000 troops to the south. The defenders of Yanmen were about 15,000. Although Yanmen had three passes and wanted to be unparalleled, Jiu Pass respected the reputation of the first pass, but there were enough open space to deploy troops before the pass. Wei Feng was not afraid of danger, but was afraid that the troops could not be expanded. In short, the difficulty of attacking Yanmen was far less than that of Wuguan, Tongguan and other passes, so there was no need to worry at all.
Xu Daofu, Xian Enzhuo left for another ten days, that is, October 29th, Pingcheng had entered the trench of winter. It was originally planned that Wei Feng would dig three trenches to trap Pingcheng to death, but in fact he only dug two of them. There was no way. The weather was too cold and the ground was hard and it could not be dug anymore, so he had to stop work.
In the warm tent, Wei Feng teased the child, Julia, Chen and Wang Daolian squeezed into a ball, and watched Xiao Qingya giggle in Wei Feng's hands, both of them were both puzzled and curious.
"Hey~~" Wang Daolian sighed helplessly, saying helplessly: "It's been more than a year, and my stomach has not moved at all. It seems that I will not expect it in this life."
"Hehe~~" Wei Feng smiled strangely, "Wang Daolian, you can't blame me. It's not that the farmer doesn't work hard, but that there is something wrong with the seeds, do you think?"
Wang Daolian's pretty face turned red and glared at Wei Feng with dissatisfaction.
Young Girl Chen said angrily: "Daolian, don't worry, did Sister Jiaojiao take a lot of effort to get pregnant? Wait a little longer, your health is fine, it's just that luck is not good."
"Oh~~" Wang Daolian responded softly and subconsciously rubbed his belly.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the tent, and a female yaksha called out loudly: "General, an envoy from the court came to announce an edict. Please go to the Central Army's tent to set up an incense table to greet you."
"Uh?" The people in the tent were all in a battle. Julia took Qingya over and urged, "Empress, it must be a court reward. Go quickly and see what you can enfeoff you if you destroy Yan State."
Wei Feng was also very curious, nodded, and took the girl Chen away from the tent.
From a distance, you can see more than ten cars parked outside the tent, red painted purple cars emitting a bright light, and hundreds of imperial guards in court guarding them closely, which is worthless at first glance. You must know that Wei Feng and the imperial guards did not turn against each other, which also means that the road from Jiankang to Ji and even outside the border is unobstructed. In this way, a hundred imperial guards have to be guarded. It must be a valuable product. Wei Feng and the young girl Chen looked at each other.
The young girl Chen couldn't help but say, "General, could it be that the court rewards were beyond your reach, and I got some gold and silk to fool you?"
"Go in first." Wei Feng was also very curious, pulled girl Chen and quickly stepped into the tent.
Cui Hao, Jiang Xuan and Xiang Mi, who had already arrived in the central army tent, had a pair of incense tables in the middle. When they saw Wei Feng coming in, the Huangmen bowed with a smile: "After General Wei destroyed Yan State, he rushed to Pingcheng like a broken sword. It is really gratifying!"
"Where, where!" Wei Feng also bowed: "I don't know why the Huan Shi came from afar?"
The yellow gate stepped behind the incense table, with a stern face and shouted: "General of the Northern Expedition, Wei Feng received the imperial edict!"
Wei Feng had no choice but to lead the generals to kneel in front of the incense table, except for Young Girl Chen, who is the personal guard, Wei Feng's family general, not a court official, so he doesn't have to kneel down to meet him.
"Cough cough~~" Huangmen cleared his throat and read it sarcastically: "On September 22, the fourth year of Yixi, Jin, the Emperor of Jin, said: Since Yongjia, the barbarians have been in danger, the mountains and rivers are in chaos, and the country is covered with dust. The land of Yan and Zhao has not returned to the king for a long time. He has been fighting for the Northern General Wei Feng first restored Hebei and then defeated Youyan. He has made great contributions to the Wu Emperor to pacify Shu and destroy Wu. Now Wei Feng is promoted to become the general. Yue Gong, who is fake Huang Yue, and is given nine tins of special rituals. He is swords and shoes that are connected to the palace. He will not go to the court, and praise and worship it without a name!"
Huangmen took out his seal and handed it over with the edict, and said with a smile: "General Wei, this is Your Majesty's praise for you, and I will accept the edict."
Wei Feng glanced at Cui Hao, and Cui Hao turned his eyes over, so he said without comment: "The servants come from afar, and they will work hard. Please rest first. I will hold a banquet to entertain you to the evening. As long as the landlords are in good faith, people will come and arrange food and accommodation for the envoys in the court!"
"As for order!" Several personal guards stepped into the tent. Wei Feng neither said to answer nor said not to answer. However, the yellow gate was under the eaves and had to bow his head. He could only honestly follow the personal guards after thanking him.
"Damn it!" As soon as the Huangmen left, Wei Feng cursed angrily: "This must be a ghost created by Liu Muzhi. I will not go to court at all. I want swords and shoes and palaces. If I enter court, I will not go to court. What's the use of praise or worshipping me if I don't name it? And even Jiuxi and Yue Gong have made it out. This is forcing me to rebel!"
Cui Hao smiled and said, "Since the general decided to take down Hedong, he would be divided into a master and subordinate with Liu Jinu. Sooner or later, there would be a battle. Liu Jinu is currently in charge of the court and records the affairs of the Secretariat, and he is suppressed by you in terms of status and status. However, you were given nine tins and the title of the state is different. This means that your achievements and reputation are greater than that of Liu Jinu, so that you will get this thick seal. This is really a sleepy hot pillow. It is a great gift from Liu Muzhi to you!"
Xiang Mi also said, "General, your strength is far greater than that of the court. It is time to have a title. You received the nine tins and were called the Duke. Although Xiang Tian showed the intention of replacing Jin, it can also greatly boost the morale of the subordinate states and counties, and gather people's hearts. Isn't your brothers following you just to create a grand career?
What's more, since the death of Emperor Xiaowu, the court of the Jin Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the Prime Minister, Huan Xuan and Liu Jinu, and it has been in name only. The hearts of the world have long been no longer in Jin, but between you and Liu Jinu. This time you can take over the fortune of Jiuxi to take down Liu Jinu in one fell swoop, so that he has no other possibility except to serve you!"
