If you look at the hair and clothing of the people who were detained by Hu Bo Juzi, you will know that they are Southern Xiongnu or Zahu.
But he is not a spy.
He called him Gu Lian and claimed to be the brother-in-law of Jise Doman, who had previously written a letter to surrender, and was also his confidant.
After everyone in the Zhushili tribe was massacred, he was sent by Jisai Duoman and hid alone in the mountains at the western foot of Quwu Mountain, waiting for the arrival of the Han army. It has been more than a month!
This is confirmed by Hu Bo's position and position.
As the former leader of Wei State who protected the Huns, he had many scheming ideas.
After listening to the man's self-report, he sent people to inspect the man's hiding place on the pretext of leaving no trace. From the urine, debris and dirt everywhere, he inferred that he had indeed stayed for more than a month.
Moreover, the man’s haggard face, broken bones, and sour body fit perfectly with this——
In order not to be noticed by the scouts coming and going from the Wei State, he did not dare to go hunting during the day and did not dare to light a fire at night. He just relied on chewing the few dried meats and drinking river water to survive until now.
As for why he didn’t go straight to Wushaoling or go south to the Fortress of Jianyin to look for the Han army~~
First, the Wei State was heavily guarded in this area, with many scouts watching day and night.
Furthermore, the Wei army had already transferred all the Jisai Duoman and other miscellaneous tribesmen away from Mingsha Mountain and returned to Dingxi City in the rear! The Gulian who remained here were undoubtedly defectors in the eyes of the Wei army, and there was no need to report for instructions when executing them.
Another reason is that this is a buffer zone for both sides.
Regardless of whether they are Han or Wei scouts, as long as they encounter soldiers who are not our own, they will shoot them with bows and crossbows without any explanation on the spot.
It is better to kill by mistake than to give the opponent the chance to make a sudden attack because of a moment's hesitation.
Besides, this is the front line. If the scouts kill people who are acting suspiciously, how can they say they kill by mistake?
After listening to Hu Bo Juzi's official report, Jiang Wei, who was very familiar with the Qiang and Hu tribes, stood up and politely invited Gu Lian to sit together in front of the fire. He did not immediately ask about his purpose or anything else, but asked the soldiers to bring him.
After eating, he said slowly, "Strong men are often tired, so they must be unbearably hungry now, so let's eat first. Chief Doman has decided to send you to join our army, and we will talk about it after we are satisfied. We are not in a hurry."
"Thank you, General of the Han family."
Perhaps he was very hungry. After saying thank you, Gulian hurriedly stretched out his hands to grab the cakes and stuffed them into his mouth. From time to time, he would choke because he ate too fast and the wheat cakes were too dry, and he would stretch his neck and cough.
Continuously.
After a while, after devouring the food voraciously, he finally took a water bag and drank heavily, letting out a loud burp of satisfaction.
Jiang Wei, who had been waiting quietly, finally spoke up and asked, "The leader of your department previously wrote a letter to our army, claiming that he wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty because he suffered bullying and injustice from the rebel Wei. I don't know how harsh it is to rebel against the Wei."
From the Ministry?”
But unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Gu Lian bowed to the ground, with a sad expression and tears streaming down his face, "General of the Han family, we and other small tribesmen have suffered so much after entering the Wei Dynasty!"
Well?
Involuntarily, Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao looked at each other.
The expression on Gein's bones does not seem to be fake, but the true expression of sadness coming from his heart.
Could it be that he really came to surrender with all sincerity?
Jiang Wei thought to himself, stood up again, helped Gu Lian up, and comforted him, "You don't have to be like this, a strong man. Let's sit down and talk."
But Gu Lian, who stood up according to the words, couldn't stop crying and told the reason intermittently.
It turned out that these miscellaneous men were deceived by Liu Bao from the left of the Southern Xiongnu, and were sent to Chang'an to be reorganized as soldiers by the Wei State. They were treated the same as the soldiers of the Wei State. Moreover, Sima Yi, the governor of Wei Yongliang, not only gave orders to Gaoping City Guards Hu Zun
, personally rushed to Shuofang County to find Liu Bao and brought their family back, and also gave them a lot of money to make up for the loss of their pastures, cattle and sheep.
At that time, they felt that it was not unacceptable to become soldiers of the Wei State and fight for the Wei State.
That's it for now.
Even if they had the chance to return to Shuofang County again, they would be bullied by Liu Bao again.
However, just as they accepted their fate, something unexpected happened.
Not long after their children returned from being expropriated, the Wei State sent them to Mingsha Mountain, where they entered Fei Yao's cavalry camp and were under the control of Deng Ai. This also ushered in the fangs of the Wei State.
The Guanzhong Jingqi under Fei Yao didn't know who instigated the past incident of Qiang and Hu bandits plundering the three assistants in Guanzhong. Everyone was extremely angry and wanted to inflict on them the hatred of their fathers and ancestors who suffered massacres.
A lesson from heaven and earth!
These small tribes of miscellaneous Hus have been living in Shuofang County, so they have the strength to invade Guanzhong! In the past, those who raided Guanzhong were the Qianghu tribes from Xianbei and Liangzhou in the north and central part!
But the soldiers of Guanzhong Jingqi didn't listen to their excuse at all.
Relying on the strength of their numbers, they often look for opportunities to stir up trouble and use fists and kicks against them.
In this regard, Fei Yao came forward to strictly prohibit it, and also punished the person who caused the trouble in accordance with military regulations. However, Fei Yao's plan was not over for two days.
To be precise, it was Wei who finally revealed his intention to send them to Mingsha Mountain.
He actually wanted to incorporate them into Wei's "World Military System"!
In response to this, all the miscellaneous cavalrymen were filled with indignation.
The treatment of soldiers is worse than that of slaves!
Without wealth, cattle, sheep and other private property, they could not marry or move freely, and as long as the men in the family survived, they would have to fight for the Wei State with swords and spears from generation to generation!
How can they accept this fate, who are accustomed to moving by water and grass without being restrained by the government?
But in the face of absolute strength, they only have two options: surrender or death.
After the Wei government detained their entire family, killed dozens of people who rose up in resistance, and held their families accountable, all the miscellaneous cavalrymen became as silent as cicadas.
But secretly he was gritting his teeth.
Ji Saiduoman and Xi Zhuli, two relatively powerful little leaders, were not willing to give in. They secretly sent letters to surrender to the Han army. And because this matter affected the family's wealth and life, the two of them secretly sent letters to surrender to the Han army.
They didn't dare to contact each other, so they acted independently.
The Han army knew what happened later.
Zhi Zhuli's secret plan was discovered by the Wei army, so the entire clan was slaughtered and a palace was built to intimidate others.
Ji Saiduoman and other miscellaneous barbarians were sent to Dingxi City in the rear by the Wei State to avoid defecting when the Han army attacked.
After listening to this, Jiang Wei and Zhang Bao were silent for a long time.
The reason is naturally not only sentimental about the situation of the Zahu tribe.
After finishing the story, Gu Lian waited silently for a long time but did not receive any questions from the Han army, so he timidly asked, "Um, the Han general?"
"Um?"
Jiang Wei, who was awakened, paused for a moment, then nodded and extended his hand in greeting, "Suddenly I heard about Wei Wei's violent and harsh rule, so I mourned the sorrow of your tribe and was in a daze for a moment. Well, a strong man can continue."
"Thank you, General of the Han family."
Thanks again, Gu Lian slowly took off his sheepskin jacket.
The clothes of the weak Zahu tribe are the same all year round. The only difference is that they wear more and less. The sheepskin jacket that was taken off was just two sheepskins crudely sewn together, and with a strong force.
Just pull it and the thread will open.
"puff!"
"puff!"
With the sound of the sheepskin jacket's sutures breaking, a palm-sized piece of sheepskin fell to the ground.
