Chapter 1880: One step at a time, one step at a time
"Wha, what?"
Pei Ju felt that he heard wrongly.
"Prefect Wang has surrendered to the Han Dynasty and became my Han minister." Chen Yu smiled.
He was not surprised by Pei Ju's reaction, and even felt a little gloating about his misfortune.
You are a wallflower, you are here today too.
There has long been criticism within the Han Dynasty regarding Pei Ju's vacillation. Chen Yu was also dissatisfied with his hesitation, but he never showed it. If someone in this line of work cannot conceal his thoughts and expressions, then he may not
Know how he died.
But today, Chen Yu really wanted to laugh.
However, he still asked with concern: "Is Mr. Pei's hand okay? Do you want to bandage it?"
Only then did Pei Ju feel the burning pain in his hand. He shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it was Yu who accidentally made Brother Chen laugh."
And his heart was already in turmoil.
Wang Long, Wang Long!
In Pei Ju's view, Hedong is like a delicious piece of pie. As the owner of this pie, he can sell it at a price. Even if he is standing here, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty will come to beg him, hoping that
Being able to share this piece of pie with him. But now it was Taiyuan Wang who took the lead and sent this piece of pie out to the big man.
Not to mention that the Wenxi Pei family did not get any benefits, once the Han Dynasty used the Wang family in Taiyuan as a breakthrough to finally leverage the entire Hedong, then the Wenxi Pei family's original status as the leader will naturally be insignificant. Hedong will be the Han Dynasty's Hedong, and it may also become the Hedong of the Han Dynasty.
It was the Hedong of the Wang family in Taiyuan, but it was no longer the Hedong of the Wenxi and Pei families. The Wenxi and Pei family, who had saved their lives under the protection of the Han Dynasty but had done nothing, would naturally not be worthy of being in the position of presiding over Hedong affairs.
"May I ask Brother Chen, can Wang Long be trusted? Although Yu was born in Wenxi, he doesn't know much about the Wang family in Taiyuan." Pei Ju couldn't help but said, while staring straight at Chen Yu, as if Chen Yu
He was not going to let go of any change in expression on his face.
Pei Ju's meaning is naturally obvious. The Taiyuan Wang family is no longer a big family in Hedong, not to mention that Wang Long is just a small county governor with no real power. Do you really trust him and feel that under his control?
Can Hedong be stabilized with help? Even I, a person from Hedong, lack understanding of Wang Long, which shows that this person does not have many talents that can be used. You want to bypass Wen Xi Pei with the help of Wang Long?
His idea is really naive.
The stability of Hedong cannot be separated from our Wenxi Pei family.
Even if Wenxi Pei is not at the forefront, it is not easy to ignore.
Chen Yu smiled and said: "Of course, Governor Wang is the leader of Hedong, and he took the lead in regaining Hedong for our Han Dynasty. Naturally, he is a minister of the country. Brother Pei has been in Yecheng for a long time. He doesn't hear the sounds of the countryside, and he doesn't know that there are heroes of his generation in the countryside.
It’s reasonable to go out.”
Pei Ju was silent for a moment. Chen Yu's counterattack was sharp. He pointed out bluntly that you, Pei Ju, are in Yecheng, an important minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and far away from Hedong. How qualified are you to represent the families and people in Hedong? The countryside in Hedong has long wanted to join you.
Han, if you hesitate here, you can't blame the people of Hedong for making other choices.
Yes, I am still too confident. I only think that the Wenxi Pei family is a first-class existence in Hedong. Every family must also look at the Wenxi Pei family's face and act, but they forget that the Wenxi Pei family is the head of the Wenxi Pei family.
He was in Yecheng, so far away from Hedong. In order to save their lives and compete for interests, the Hedong family and people would not wait foolishly for him to make a decision.
Hedong has been a place where big families have gathered since ancient times. The Wang family in Taiyuan has only declined in the past few generations. Therefore, when they see the opportunity to climb up, they will never mind leaving the Wenxi and Pei family to go up first.
They even don’t mind stepping on Wenxi and Pei’s family hard after climbing up, just like how Wenxi and Pei’s people stepped on them when they climbed up.
Chen Yu looked at Pei Ju's expression. Pei Ju was obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't even bother to cover up his emotions.
Baipao naturally collected a lot of information about Pei Ju. To be precise, he should be an out-and-out descendant of aristocratic family. He is a very tricky person. What he cares about is the interests of the family. After all,
It doesn't matter which court he is loyal to or who he serves, because fundamentally, he is serving the Wenxi Pei family.
All his actions are for the family, in other words, they are selfish.
Therefore, neither Your Majesty nor the rest of the civil and military officials in the court are inclined to cooperate with Pei Ju. Once the Han Dynasty harms the interests of the Wenxi Pei family, this guy is likely to change hands and sell the Han Dynasty to the ground.
The Han Dynasty does not need such an ally, unless he is willing to give up something to regain the Han Dynasty's trust.
Pei Ju gritted his teeth: "In this battle in Hedong, the army should consume a lot of money and food. I'm glad that the Pei family still has storage and is willing to supply the needs of the army."
Chen Yu nodded slightly. This iron rooster was actually willing to pluck his feathers. He was obviously frightened by the radicalness of the Wang family in Taiyuan. In fact, what Chen Yu said was exaggerated. Even if Wang Long was completely devoted to the big man, it would be impossible for him to do so.
It really helped the Han Dynasty to quickly pacify Hedong. Several prominent families in Hedong headed by the Wenxi Pei family were the basis for the Han Dynasty to stabilize Hedong.
Now that the Wenxi Pei family has taken the lead in supporting the Han Dynasty, the other aristocratic families with many in-law connections will naturally not be far behind. The situation in Hedong will seem to be very good.
Of course, for Pei Ju, although Yu Wenxian has not taken action against the Hedong family now, it is well known that after the Jizhou family is the Hedong family. Otherwise, Yu Wenxian would not have so much soldiers, horses and food to prepare for next year's war, so these food and grass
Instead of giving money to Yu Wenxian in vain, it is better to give it to the Han Dynasty first, as the basis for the Wenxi Pei family to establish their destiny in the new dynasty.
One step was slow and one step was slow. What Pei Ju regretted most now was that he had made countless calculations but missed Wang Long, the governor of Hebei County. Why did he let this guy get the lead?
I hope my actions are not too slow now.

"It's really rare for an iron rooster to pluck its feathers." Li Xinchen laughed and said.
His Majesty's laughter echoed in the Royal Study Room of Luoyang Palace.
Bao Xing and others also congratulated His Majesty with their hands.
Pei Ju clearly expressed his support for the Han Dynasty through Chen Yu. This guy with both sides of the head finally gritted his teeth and made a big bet. Whether it was the safety of the Pei family or the savings of several generations of the family, they all
The situation will be entrusted to the hands of the Han Dynasty. With the Wenxi Pei family taking the lead, other in-law families in Hedong such as the Xue family and the Liu family will definitely follow suit.
With money and food, Hedong will no longer be owned by the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
The news of the restoration of Puzhou came on the front foot, and the news of Pei Ju on the back foot. These two days were regarded as double happiness. Naturally, Li Xingchen was in a good mood, and ordered to reward the secretary supervisor who had been working hard for several days.
