Gao Fei successfully persuaded Qiu Liju to surrender at Bailang Mountain, and then ordered people to bring out food and water and distribute them to Qiu Liju and others.
Qiu Liju handed over his subordinates to Mu Yiwan and put him in charge of commanding the soldiers. He was brought to Gao Fei's side by Wu Liden, and he bowed to Gao Fei with Han courtesy: "General Tian, I am Qiu Fei.
Liju has lived for most of his life, and this is the first time he has met someone like you. Even the long-famous White Horse General Gongsun Zan is not one-tenth as good as you. If I had known that General Tian was so powerful, I would have
I shouldn’t be an enemy of General Tian, and I won’t end up like this.”
Gao Fei smiled and said: "It's not too late to join me now, Zhang He, go and get some food and water so that His Highness the King of Liao can have a good meal."
Zhang He said "Promise", then ordered people to bring food and water, and handed them to Qiu Liju himself.
Qiu Liju was really hungry. As soon as he received the food and water sent by Zhang He, he wolfed down the food and water. He no longer cared about whether he was king or not.
After eating and drinking, Qiu Liju burped, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General Tian!"
Gao Fei waved his hand and said: "We will be a family from now on. I just said that in order to show my sincerity to the Wuhuan people, we will become brothers with different surnames here. From now on, we will share joys and sorrows and share wealth. I wonder if His Highness the King of Liao can
willing?"
Qiu Liju said: "I, the King of Liao, gave me the title myself, and it doesn't count. General Tian will call me by my name from now on. As for becoming brothers with different surnames, I can't ask for it, but I am a defeated general, and
How can you be on an equal footing with General Tian?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "If you don't want to become sworn brothers, I won't force you. Since you have promised to surrender to me, from now on I have the obligation to protect the interests of your tribe. Western Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the
Most of the population lives in the Feiru area of Haiyang, near Youbeiping, while almost all the Han people from Liucheng to Yangle have fled. You have surrendered to me, and you must obey my orders from now on. I hope you can
Move all your tribes to the Liucheng and Yangle area, which is close to Changli County, with Yiwulu Mountain in the east and Daling River in the north. It can be said to be beautiful mountains and clear waters. In addition, it is very close to the Uliden tribe. You will live together.
Being together and taking care of each other is better than staying in Pinggang, right?"
Qiu Liju thought about it and felt that what Gao Fei said was reasonable. He had long wanted to move from Pinggang to the Liucheng area in western Liaoning, but unfortunately he had been blocked by the prefect of western Liaoning. Therefore, he joined the army and was the first to capture western Liaoning.
Killed the prefect of Liaoxi. Pinggang is located in the Wuhou Qinshui area, and is very close to the Xianbei people in the north. There will always be one or two battles with the Xianbei people every year, which makes him very worried about his rear. He immediately handed over his hand and said:
"General Tian really speaks to my heart. I am willing to move all my clansmen to the area from Liucheng to Yangle, and I am also willing to obey General Tian's orders from now on. Everything will be done by General Tian."
Gao Fei laughed and said: "Very good, it's still a long way from here to Pinggang. You guys are short of food and water. It just so happens that I also want to visit Pinggang. Let's go to Pinggang together and bring in all your people by the way."
How about moving to the Liucheng area?"
Qiu Liju said: "No!"
After resting for a long time, Gao Fei ordered all the troops to set up camp and escort Qiu Liju's more than 11,000 remnant soldiers back to Pinggang. In fact, the escort was just a pretext. In fact, Gao Fei was afraid.
As soon as Qiu Liju returned, he rebelled and took 20,000 elite cavalry back with him, which could be regarded as a deterrent.
Gao Fei didn't trust Qiu Liju very much. After all, Qiu Liju proclaimed himself the King of Liao and used force to defeat Lord Wuhuan of Shanggu, Nanlou, who had more troops than Qiu Liju. He was somewhat afraid of this bravery.
Therefore, following Qiu Liju along the way, and getting to know Qiu Liju more deeply, and making sure that he sincerely surrenders to him, can he let Qiu Liju continue to be the leader. If he finds anything abnormal, then he will
The only option was to kill him and elect an obedient person as the leader from Qiu Liju's tribe.
The army walked slowly for a day and a half, and finally arrived at Pinggang. Pinggang is located in what is now Pingquan County, Hebei Province. During the Warring States Period, the Yan State defeated Donghu and built the Great Wall in the north. Pingquan was the territory of Yanyou Beiping County. During the Western Han Dynasty, Pingquan
It still belongs to Youbeiping County, and the county government is in Pinggang. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governor of Youbeiping County moved to Tuyin (Yinchengpu, Tangshan City).
This is the activity area of Wuhuan people.
The Pinggang area is the birthplace of the Wuhou Qinshui (Laoha River), also known as the source of the Liao River. The excellent geographical environment has nurtured generations of Wuhuan people. Even so, the Wuhuan people still have to face the pressure from the northern grasslands.
A huge threat was the Xianbei people, so Qiu Liju tried every means to move the tribe to western Liaoning. The vast land in western Liaoning was very difficult for the Han people who lived by farming, but for semi-cultivated people,
For the semi-pastoral Wuhuan people, it is the most suitable place.
After arriving in Pinggang, Qiu Liju held a banquet and invited all the leaders of the towns to come together to pay homage to Gao Fei to show his dignity.
Gao Fei and Qiu Liju walked along the way, constantly testing Qiu Liju along the way, and he was very satisfied with the results. He also admired Qiu Liju's cheerful personality. This time, Qiu Liju truly joined him.
Yes, this also made Gao Fei completely let down his guard.
That night, Pinggang held a grand party to welcome Gao Fei. Everyone participated, and the Wuhuan people celebrated with singing and dancing. The Wuhuan people also held a separate party for the warriors who died in the war.
After the memorial ceremony, the faces of the family members of the victims were not only not sad, but also very happy. The folk customs in Wuhuan are so special that it really makes people feel a little different.
The next morning, Gao Fei got up early. After walking out of the small town of Pinggang, he looked around and saw that the original domes outside the city had begun to be dismantled. All the Wuhuan people had a trace of joy on their faces, as if
I am very happy about my family's move.
Gao Fei was very confused and asked Uli beside him: "Why are they so excited when they hear about moving?"
Wu Liden explained: "General Tian, you don't know something. For the Han people, if they suddenly move to the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, they may feel a lot of reluctance. But for us Wuhuan people, this is a big deal.
It’s different. We Wuhuan people used to live a life of chasing water and grass on the grassland outside the Great Wall. Since the Han Dynasty came to us, we have implemented a settlement system. Our ancestors have lived in a small place for generations, and we cannot broaden our horizons. For us,
Speaking is a kind of torture. Therefore, we sometimes go to graze outside the Great Wall and fight with the Xianbei people for a good pasture land. Migration is the happiest thing for us, which means that we can see
More places to broaden your horizons.”
After hearing this, Gao Fei said slowly: "It seems that I don't know you Wuhuan people thoroughly enough. I need to learn as much as possible about the customs and habits of Wuhuan people in the future."
Uliden smiled and said: "With the wisdom of General Tian, he will definitely be able to understand it very thoroughly. However, the joyful migration of these people has another meaning."
"Do you feel that you will feel safer if you are away from the harassment of the Xianbei people?"
"General Tian was only half right." Uliden continued to explain, "Since we Wuhuan people moved inland and joined the Han Dynasty, we have been distributed in several surrounding counties and counties, and our interactions have become very unfamiliar.
The Nanlou tribe lives in the area from Baishan to Danhanshan, the Wuyan tribe in Youbeiping lives in the Baitan area, and the Qiuliju tribe in western Liaoning lives in the area from Pinggang to Bailangshan. My tribe lives in Changli, and the four tribes are scattered around each other.
, there is very little contact. Today, General asked Qiu Liju to move all the tribesmen to the area from Liucheng to Yangle. Geographically speaking, they are much closer to my tribe. I am afraid that there will be no contact between tribes in the future.
We will become much closer, and in this way, there will be good development between us, and we may be able to have more children."
Gao Fei nodded, but he was thinking about one thing in his own mind. He was planning to expand Changli County and divide the area from Liucheng to Yangle in Liaoxi County into Changli County, so that all Wuhuan people would be included in Changli County.
Live together.
At this time, Qiu Liju came to Gao Fei's side, cupped his hands and said: "General Tian, my people are almost ready. After lunch, they can migrate."
Gao Fei said: "Well, very good. Yesterday I received a letter from Gongsun Zan. He has led his troops to leave western Liaoning and is returning to Youbeiping County, preparing to attack the Wuyan and Nanlou tribes. Now you have surrendered to me.
, there are also 200,000 Wuhuan people in the Wuyan and Nanlou tribes, right? Gongsun Zan is a hateful person. He wants to expel the Hulu and will never show mercy to the Wuhuan people. I want to ask you to persuade Nanlou to surrender.
and Wuyan, let them surrender to me, in this way, I can integrate you Wuhuan people into a whole, which will also be of great benefit to the revitalization of you Wuhuan people, I wonder if you are willing?"
Qiu Liju immediately replied: "Yes, General Tian is so considerate of us Wuhuan people, I have nothing to say. As long as it is to revitalize us Wuhuan people, I will definitely do it. But, now I
Most of my subordinates were killed in western Liaoning, so Wu Yan can still say a few words, but as for Nanlou, he may not be so easy to obey my orders."
"It depends on people. If Nanlou doesn't surrender to me, we will have to let them fend for themselves." Gao Fei said loudly, "Uli Deng, you go tell Zhang He that Tai Shici asked the two of them to gather 10,000 cavalry and listen at any time.
Later, you and Zhao Yun will be dispatched to lead the 10,000 cavalry to escort Qiu Liju's people to the Liucheng area."
Uliden nodded and asked: "General Tian, what about you?"
Gao Fei said: "I am going to take Zhang He and Taishi Ci to Shanggu County. If Nanlou does not surrender, I will fight until he surrenders."
