Lu Sanwuniang, who had not yet held a banquet and ceremony with Wu Huaiyu, suddenly came uninvited and was a little aggrieved.
Today she was still dressed in men's clothes, but her pretty face was full of displeasure.
Wu Huaiyu didn't expect that Lu Sanwu would come to intercede for Gao Wei.
"You know him?"
“Who in Youzhou doesn’t know Gao Yaozi?”
"What do you know about him?"
"It's enough that Chief Gao Zhai has ensured peace in the mountains and taken in so many refugees over the years."
"What's more, he has many benevolent and righteous deeds. From Lingqiu Feihu to Jundu Mountain to Lulongsai, there are more than a hundred border villages, big and small. Who doesn't obey Gao Sanlang? Shaobao is now the governor of the eight states of Youfu. If he uses force against Gao Sanlang
,This will cause a confrontation across the entire mountain,"
Huaiyu looked at Lu Sanwu, "Are you familiar with the Gao family?"
Gao Wei is about the same age as Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong and others, forty or fifty years old. Although Lu Sanwu is free and easy and loves martial arts, it is unlikely that he has an affair with a mountain village leader. It is more likely that he has an affair with the Gao family
A certain kid may be familiar with him.
"Gao Twelve is my friend," Lu Sanwu said while looking at Huaiyu, but found that he didn't react much after hearing this, but he immediately added, "Gao Twelve is the leader of Gao Village.
My daughter, I have a good relationship with her, and we often dance swords and hunt together."
"Is that Gao Twelve in Youzhou? If so, I would like to see her and ask her to help me bring a message to Gao Wei. I still admire Gao Wei, but if he is stubborn and refuses to accept Wang Hua, then I will also
We can only send out troops to encircle and suppress them."
"Gao Twelve is not in Youzhou. I can go to Diaowo Village for you. I used to go there often and we are very familiar with it."
Huaiyu smiled and said, "The military order has been issued and cannot be changed."
"Let me go and meet the leader of Gao Village to deliver a message for you."
"I have already said what I should say, first be polite and then send troops. Now it's time to send troops."
Lu Sanwu was a little annoyed.
"Do you men only care about fighting and killing?"
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. The mountain behind the mountain is also the mountain behind the Tang Dynasty. If Gao Wei and others want to separate their kingdoms, they will not end well."
Huaiyu didn't let her continue, "You'd better go home and prepare the dowry and wedding first. When I return home in triumph, you can come to welcome me."
Lu Sanwu left dissatisfied.
Huaiyu didn't take it seriously either.
As a result, Lu Chengye came to him soon and said that Lu Sanwu left Youzhou City with several horses and went straight to the back of the mountain. Lu Chengye was very worried. Although Lu Sanwu belonged to the Fanyang Lu family, he was still the current head of the family.
Diaowozhai originally did not dare to offend Wu Ye's daughter, whose natal family is Fan Yangzu's family, but now she has been given a thirty-five-year promise to Wu Huaiyu as a concubine. Who knows if Gao Yaozi will take her as a hostage then.
"Gong Yi Guo, please send someone to chase her back quickly. If she enters Diaowo Village, she will become Gao Yaozi's hostage."
Wu Huaiyu then called Yuwen to Chengdu, "Go and inform Xu Siye and ask him to lead a group of light cavalry to chase Lu Sanwuniang. Don't let them go out to the capital."
A little later, Wu Huaiyu also led his army to leave Youzhou and march towards the back of the mountain.
On the way, I met several people who had just come from Dingzhou. They were Kang Po who was transferred from the Zhidu Envoy Department by Wu Huaiyu, and his old friends from the time in Shuofang, Kunlun Nu Tang Fengxiao and Peng Zizi Song Jiang. Kang Po was transferred here
Tang Fengxiao and Peng Zizi, who helped manage the camp's logistics, money and food, are still businessmen on the surface, but they also have the identity of six-door spies.
The two of them have Wu Huaiyu as their backer, and now their business is getting bigger and bigger. It is no longer limited to Shuofang area, but has even reached Hedong and Hebei.
It was quite a pleasure to meet a few people.
"I heard that Erlang just took Fan Yanglu's daughter as his concubine, congratulations?" Kang Po said, his family is in Boling, Hebei, in today's Dingzhou, Fan Yanglu is half a neighbor, and the Lu family is so powerful.
It is quite clear that even if she is Lu Chengqing's concubine, she is not ordinary.
After all, Lu Chengqing is the patriarch of the Northern Ancestral House.
Kunlun slave Tang Fengxiao also expressed congratulations. His niece Tang Liuniang had also been Wu Huaiyu's concubine before, but the Tang family's status was at most one of the six powerful men in Lingzhou, which was far from being one of the five surnames in the world.
Instead, Peng Laizi asked with a smile, "Why did I hear on the way that Lu Sanwu ran away to the back of the mountain, and the governor sent people to chase her? Could it be that she is trying to escape from the marriage?"
"That's not true. Madam Lu wants to talk to the eight villages behind the mountain for me and recruit them."
"Mr. Wu is very fond of Madam Lu and is willing to let her show up in public like this."
Huaiyu just smiled. He took Lu Sanwu as his concubine, which was originally a political marriage. He also knew in advance that Lu Sanwu was a bit maverick, but he accepted it, so now she is a bit uncomfortable.
It was an appropriate move, and Wu Huaiyu was not too angry.
On the other hand, she is just a concubine who has not yet been married.
Just as he was talking, Duan Shen came from behind.
After Duan Gongzi married his girl to Huaiyu as a concubine in Shuofang, he accepted Huaiyu's conquest. From Shuofang to Chang'an and then to Youzhou, he followed Cangcao, who is now the governor of Youzhou, to join the army.
Kang Po, Duan Shen, Tang Fengxiao, and Song Jiang gathered together, and Huaiyu asked them to help him take care of the economy, money, food, and logistics.
It's more than three hundred miles from Youzhou to the back of the mountain, but it's not that far away.
The road is also quite smooth. From Juyongguan out of the Great Wall, through the Huailai Basin into the mountains, and along the valley, even if we only march sixty miles a day, it will only take five or six days to travel.
When they arrived in Changping, Li Tudiji also brought 3,000 Sumo Mohe and Fan cavalry tribesmen from Taogu Mountain in Liaoxi County, Yanzhou, while Fuyu, the governor of Shenzhou, also brought 2,000 Fuyu Mohe tribesmen to join the expedition.
The five thousand Mohe and Fan cavalry look quite elite. Both of them basically have armor, one in three is iron armor and two in three is leather armor. However, the armor is a bit older and backward compared to the Tang army.
Fanqi is quite young, and the two leaders, Tudiji and Fuyu, both have gray hair and have been friends for decades.
But now that the two tribes are together, there is still a big difference between Jingwei and Jingwei. The most important thing is that the Sumo Mohe people in Yanzhou have cut their braids and changed into clothes, while the Fuyu Mohe people in Shenzhou still retain the tradition of wearing braids and wild boar tusks.
.
"I would like to ask the Governor to allow me, the Fuyu tribe of Shenzhou, to cut my braids and change my clothes!"
Fuyu was not willing to lag behind others, so she patted her chest and begged.
This old man has a long scar on his face, which is a bit scary.
Although they are both Mohe people, the treatment of the two is quite different. They are both governors, but Li Tudiji, the governor of Yanzhou, is still a formal state. He was established by overseas Chinese from Youzhou and upgraded to a formal state.
The land was designated. Shenzhou was originally established by overseas Chinese as Youzhou, but now it has been moved to the Zhuoxian area and established as Shenzhou. However, it is still a state established by overseas Chinese and is not a real state.
Yanzhou has a state territory, but Shenzhou only has one capital and rural city. He, the governor of Shenzhou, is also under the jurisdiction of the governor of Youzhou.
In terms of strength, Shenzhou is far inferior to Yanzhou.
At that time, most of the Usugu tribe in Moheli, Fuyu, followed Tuhou under the leadership of Fuyu. The eight Sumo tribes led by Tudiji brothers defected to the Sui Dynasty. Tudiji and their eight tribes had thousands of households, but Wusugu did not have more than 1,000 households.
, after surrendering to the Sui Dynasty, he has always been a subordinate Tudiji queen, but after these decades,
The eight tribes of Sumo in Tudiji suffered heavy losses in the battle, but the Wusugu tribe developed steadily and its population increased greatly.
Although there are only 300 households registered in the household registration, the fact that they can directly send 2,000 troops this time shows that they are quite powerful. The population is estimated to be no less than 10,000. Of course, there are also many Han refugees and even other Tibetan people who are dependent on them.
"The governor of Fuyu is very loyal, and I naturally have no reason not to allow it,"
Huaiyu agreed with a smile, and personally helped Fuyu cut off his braid decorated with wild boar teeth. It is said that the Jurchen tribe in later generations came from the Fuyu tribe among the Mohe people.
Once this braid is cut, I don’t know if there will be another Jurchen with braided hair in the future.
After a short rest in Changping, the troops and horses advanced again.
When they arrived at the Jundu Pass, Huaiyu met Lu Sanwu again. She failed to pass the pass and was stopped by Xu Siye. Xu Siye was from the same village as Huaiyu Longqiaobao. The former Xu Erluzi was now Huaiyu Yabing Special General.
.
Not only did he stop Lu Sanwu, he even stopped Gao Twelve.
Lu Sanwu was still very dissatisfied when he saw Huaiyu.
"Is this the senior twelve?"
Gao Twelve was also dressed in men's clothing and was quite tall. When he saw Wu Huaiyu, he did not panic and stepped forward, "I am Gao Twelve, the daughter of the leader of Gao Village in Diaowo Village. You can kill or cut into pieces as you please, but please don't
It’s hard for Thirty-Fifth Mother,”
Even if this girl doesn't apply makeup, she still has a natural beauty.
What's even more rare is this refreshing boldness.
"Thirty-five is my father's woman, so naturally I won't embarrass her."
Huaiyu looked Gao Twelve up and down, making her feel uncomfortable, "Commander, please respect yourself."
"Hahaha!"
Huaiyu laughed.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Thirty-Fifth. The governor suddenly had an idea. How about I propose marriage to the leader of Gao Village and take you as my concubine. In this way, we will become a family and we won't have to fight or kill each other. How about that?
?”
"Pooh!"
Unexpectedly, Gao Twelve spat at him directly.
Huaiyu was not upset and asked Lu Sanwu to take Gao Twelve down, and then started to work diligently.
"Mr. Wu is really doting on Madam Lu," Po Kang said.
Song Jiang asked, "Did my husband really like this Gao Twelve? If so, I have many ways to help my husband conquer her."
Li Jinyan, who is also lame, reminded, "Although Gao Twelve is a woman, I heard that Gao Wei was loved by Pang. Gao Yaozi has eighteen sons, but only three daughters. Gao Twelve is his only legitimate daughter, and his mother
The Guo family is said to be from a branch of the Guo family in Taiyuan.
If Duke Wu uses force, I'm afraid Gao Yaozi will be completely angered and fight to the end."
Huaiyu waved his hand, "I'm not the kind of dandy in the government office who robs civilian girls."
After leaving Juyongguan, we marched to Huairong County. The governor of Beiyan Prefecture, Su Lie, the envoy of the Qing Yi Army, came to greet him and reported the military situation to Huaiyu.
"Gaowei contacted the villages and actively prepared for war and defense. He also contacted the villages on Baihe and Heihe,"
"He didn't collude with the Turks or the Xi people, or the Khitan people, right?" Wu Huaiyu asked directly. Wu Huaiyu's journey was quite easy, and the march was not tiring.
"I didn't find him colluding with the Turks."
"That's good. This shows that Gao Yaozi can still be saved. If he really dares to collude with the Turks and Xi Qi, etc., then he will only have a dead end."
If you don't collude with outsiders, it's just a family matter. If you keep your own affairs behind closed doors, there's still room for fighting, appeasing or appeasing.
"Tujue, Xi, is there any change in the Khitan?" Huaiyu asked again. At this time, we have to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.
"No, there is no movement among the tribes. Even several small tribes of the Xi tribe behind the mountains are actively migrating northward, as if they don't want to be affected by the war."
Huaiyu smiled and said to Su Lie and Wei Xiaojie, "You see, these scoffers are very smart. They are afraid of being splashed with blood by watching the fun."
"Send someone over to say hello to them and tell them that our Youzhou Governor's Mansion is handling some household matters and it has nothing to do with them, so don't be alarmed!"
