Compared with kindness, hatred is more unforgettable.
This is the reason why Zheng Pu does not want Lu Shuihu to stay in Hexi.
This tribe, which used to be so powerful that it had tens of thousands of tribes, declined rapidly due not only to the oppression of the Wei government, but also to other Qiang and Hu tribes and powerful rightists who followed the law of the jungle and the strong.
From the perspective of the Han Dynasty, after the recovery of the four counties in Hexi, Lu Shuihu was the best "horse bone" to demonstrate the court's kindness.
There is no need to think too much. After the Lu Shuihu, who have been treated well, become strong again, they will inevitably return the bullying they suffered in the past to other Qiang and Hu tribes and powerful people, and will also plunge the Hexi Corridor into turmoil.
With the rebellious Wei watching closely, the Han Dynasty could not confine its scarce financial and military resources to maintain stability in Hexi.
In other words, the Han Dynasty would rather maintain the status quo in Hexi than consume the war resources to regain a turbulent Liangzhou.
After all, allowing Haoyou to continue to separate counties will at least not trigger a crisis in the Longyou defense line, which will then affect the strategy of marching into Guanzhong and returning to the old capital.
Of course, Zheng Pu would not express these thoughts to Ekin and his concubine.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he asked softly, "Does your envoy know that the traitor chief Kewu who is attached to the rebel Wei Dynasty has moved his entire family to Xiutuze?"
Of course Ekin the prostitute knows.
Even before he came to the Fortress of Manyin to see the Han army, he had already thought of a countermeasure.
He planned to persuade the Lushuihu tribe to send war horses, cattle, sheep and other supplies to Ke Wu and Yang Fu once the Han army agreed to their request.
In order to persuade the Wei State to consider their unwillingness to make peace with the Han army, they asked the Wei State to reduce the amount of supplies and corvee services.
Yi Jian, the concubine, believed that when the Han army was about to reach Hexi, Yang Fu and others would definitely agree to their conditions in order to change their situation.
I was also paralyzed by them!
As long as Yang Fu and others no longer strictly monitor him, they will find opportunities for backstabbing!
Yes, Lu Shuihu will never forget the years of hunger and cold, the death of countless women, children, old and weak people from starvation and freezing, and the blood feud that enslaved people like cattle and horses!
The reason why they did not directly raise troops to attack with the Han army was because they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the powerful rightists who supported Yang Fu and the baggage, women and children of the Qiang and Hu tribes, so that Lu Shuihu could quickly become stronger.
As for backstabbing, the area struck is naturally the rear where supplies, women and children are located.
This plan was the reason why he, who once dominated the world for a while, made a humble gesture and begged the Han army to take him into custody.
He was once one of the leaders of Lu Shuihu, and he wanted to be supported as a leader again.
Yu Gong, at the time when Hexi was experiencing great changes, it was difficult for Lu Shuihu without a leader to take advantage of the situation.
People who are private and grew up in the Hexi Corridor never lack ambition.
He is indeed old.
His dim eyes made his bow and arrow no longer threatening; his rickety body made him lose the majestic posture of wielding a spear and riding a horse.
But the ambition in his chest and belly is like a dead tree blooming with spring.
Today's situation is really difficult.
Being elected as an envoy by his tribe shows that his old prestige still exists.
If he can successfully make peace with the Han army and then lead the tribe to regain its former strength through making suggestions, then there will no longer be any suspense about the position of the leader.
The old man is brave and ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles.
Having once tasted the beauty of power, he wanted to have a much-anticipated honor at the end of his life.
Not to mention, several of his heirs who are still in their prime of life have received "special" treatment from Wei officials in recent years. By seizing this opportunity, he can also make up for their guilt for being implicated by their fathers.
With such selfishness, after hearing what Zheng Pu asked, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
There was still a flash of panic in his eyes.
He suddenly remembered the general's gossip in the eyes of Wei's Hexi government and powerful right-wingers over the years.
He was resourceful, good at making decisions, and used troops with many extraordinary actions; especially after the fall of Xiaoguan, some Xianbei Lujie tribesmen who migrated to Hexi due to the great epidemic repeatedly claimed that Zheng Pu had planned everything.
Now, he suddenly asked about the thief Ke Wu. Could it be that he had an insight into what I was thinking?
If he really gained insight, then he would have to re-plan the future.
After all, the Han army had recruited poor tenants to farm in Longyou in recent years, and the practice of curbing land annexation had long spread throughout Liangzhou; it was impossible to sit back and watch Lu Shuihu annex other tribes!
Only when we get rid of the crisis of survival can we talk about development and prosperity.
Lu Shuihu, who was continuously oppressed by the Wei State, had long reached an unsustainable point. His only hope of survival depended on the thought of getting support from the Han army.
He would never ignore the interests of the tribe just for his own selfish reasons.
To take a step back, if Lu Shuihu had taken away the women, children and supplies of other tribes and angered the Han army, then Lu Shuihu would not only not be as strong as before in the future, but would be suppressed even more severely.
Taking a breath quietly, Yi Jian, the concubine, lowered her head, made a more humble gesture, and pretended to be puzzled: "Return to the general, everyone in Wuwei County knows about this. The general asked today because he wants me to wait for the tribe.
Do you want to contain this traitor?"
"No."
He waved his hands with a smile, and Zheng Puyan smiled, "I'm worried about the safety of your department. Your envoy is now asking me to be the pioneer of our great Han Dynasty. I will go to the imperial court to invite the emperor and the prime minister to return to Yi Zhongjie."
Jia Zhi! However, after all, the strength of your tribe has been declining for a long time. Not only are the people withering away, the livestock are not growing, but there are also few people who can conquer and fight well! Confucius said, 'To not teach the people to fight is to abandon them.' I am a big man.
You are benevolent and righteous, and I cannot bear to see your department suffer more casualties."
"Furthermore, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Han Dynasty has fallen out of line and rebelled against the Wei Dynasty to steal the artifacts. As a result, the nobles have been bullied, their livelihoods have been difficult to survive, and there are even people who have no one to rely on and sell their daughters. I, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and the Prime Minister often
After hearing this, everyone sighed, hating that it was difficult for the troops to reach Hexi and that they could not relieve the urgent situation of your troops!"
"Fortunately, thanks to destiny, I, the Han Dynasty, will send his troops out of Liangzhou to drive out the Wei Dynasty and fight against the unconquered ministers, so as to restore peace and prosperity to the world. If you are willing to do so, please order the lives of the Hibernating clan members so that the emperor and the court will not be guilty of their own sins."
.”
Uh~~
After hearing this, Concubine Ekin felt lonely in her heart.
The Han army did not want Lu Shuihu to participate in the battle, so they also wiped out his wishes.
And he didn't dare to argue.
Although Zheng Pu had always claimed that the emperor and prime minister of the Han Dynasty were compassionate and sympathized with what happened to his tribe; but if Lu Shuihu did not obey what the Han army said, the general would let him see how sharp the Han army's troops were.
After all, people are killed by swords.
It is possible to be harsh on Lu Shui, Hu Wei, and the Han Dynasty who declared that "everything the sun and moon shine on is Han soil." Why not?
"That"
After a slight hesitation, Yi Jian gritted her teeth, raised her head and asked, "May I ask the general, if our troops do not follow the expedition, after the Han regains Hexi, can the pastures and fields occupied by our troops be returned by the Ni Wei?"
