A man in short clothes ignored the tense atmosphere here and walked in. He placed a short flat piece of eucalyptus on Zheng Pu's table and urged, "Master, don't delay, the medicine is already here."
If you fry it, if you use it too late, it will delay the time for taking the medicine ordered by the imperial doctor."
He is an old servant of the Zheng family and has taken care of Zheng Pu since he was young.
Zhang Yan, who was staying at the Lu Family Courtyard in Longyouji County, learned that Zheng Pu had moved to the valley to recuperate. He was worried about the rudeness of the military retinue and sent him to take care of his daily life. In his mind, he naturally placed Zheng Pu in the first place for recuperation.
One person, no matter if interrupting rashly will conflict with the hospitality or other things.
Inevitably, his behavior also alleviated the solemnity in the place.
Seeing this, Gao Kai, who had long since matured, hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope, stood up and said something to the Qiang leader, Dian Mi, stepped back a few steps, held up his hands and said, "I don't dare to delay the general's meal, I'll wait and avoid the table first."
treat."
"good."
Hearing this, Zheng Pu also motioned with his eyes to his subordinate Qi Yacuo to put the sharp knife back into its sheath, stood up and pointed towards the smoke, "It is difficult to host a banquet in a remote place in a valley. I have already ordered some food to be prepared for you two.
If you want to move here and use it yourself, I hope it won’t be too crude.”
"Don't dare."
Gao Kai quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, General, for the meal."
After saying this, he took shelter under the guidance of Zheng Pu's retinue.
As Zheng Pu said, the food was very simple. Steamed wheat rice, a small portion of salted leeks and rice, and a wooden spoon of minced meat per person was all.
But they can't dislike anything.
The same is true for the food that the short-dressed man with a gray head just presented to Zheng Pu, as well as the food eaten by the retinue here.
This discovery gave both Gao Kai and Dian Mi a vague realization.
Zheng Pu did not prepare a banquet for the guests, which also meant that he had no intention of further discussing the matter.
The Han army had no room for discussion on how to resettle the remaining people in the north. They could either choose one of the conditions previously proposed by Zheng Pu, or go back and wait for the Han army to attack in the future.
Therefore, they both took a few sips and claimed that it was enough to satisfy their hunger. They casually found a reason to wash their hands and rinse their mouths, and moved to the waterside to discuss the next response in private.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss.
Without asking questions, Dian fans knew that Gao Kai, a son of the Han family, would definitely choose to accept Zheng Pu's conditions.
Even though he still holds on to the past of being abandoned by the Han Dynasty and hates it deeply!
But the four hundred years of prestige of the Han Dynasty and the glory of his father's ancestors would eventually make him choose to compromise and let go of his previous expectations.
The reason is simple.
Although he has been a survivor for decades, he has never regarded himself as a Qiang Hu!
Not to mention that future generations will end up being Zuojun!
This also makes Yunnan fans very helpless.
If the Qiang and Hu tribes in Beidi County and the remnants of the Han family cannot work together, they will be unable to resist the authority of the Han army. No matter how reluctant they are, they will eventually surrender.
Yes, he had no choice at all.
Let me ask, if the Han survivors have returned to the Han court, but the Qiang and Hu tribes have not, how could the Han army not drive these Han survivors who are familiar with the mountains and geography of the north to attack their tribes? And these Han survivors had previously been with their Qiang tribe.
The Hu tribe often had disputes or sword fights. How could they not be as good as the Han army wanted?
Even after the Han army provided ordnance and promised spoils of war, they would be happy to hear about the war!
well......
Perhaps this was the reason why the Han army stopped discussing with them.
When you have nothing to fear, why bother talking?
"Alas, things are going nowhere."
As expected by Dian fans, as soon as the two of them arrived at the pond, Gao Kai took the lead and said, "Although the Han Dynasty has failed us, the people who follow me are all common people of the Han family, and they do not want to be with the Han Dynasty."
The armies are killing each other. Therefore, I want to lead my troops back to the Han court. I wonder how the leader of the Dian fans will make a decision?"
Do I have a choice?!
Uncontrollably, as soon as Dian Mi heard this, he felt endless indignation in his heart.
He didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he picked up a small piece of stone and threw it into the pool angrily.
The small pieces of stone swirled and clung to the surface of the water, making several splashes before disappearing into the pool.
Let the ripples of the water pool spread out in circles, and it took a while before calmness returned.
Dian Mi suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to his own situation.
The Han army is like this pool, wide and deep; and itself is like this whirling small piece of stone. No matter how much water it stirs up, its ultimate fate cannot escape being swallowed up and returning to silence.
There is simply no strength between the two that can compete with each other.
"It's up to you."
Dian Mi, who had been silent for a long time, also said with dismay in his voice, "However, if you want me to call on other Qiang and Hu tribes to merge with the Han Dynasty, there needs to be a prerequisite. This is the condition that you and I and other leaders negotiated before. The Han court needs
Send more than a hundred craftsmen to Beidi County in advance to teach me their skills."
At this point, he suddenly turned his head, stared into Gao Kai's eyes, and his voice became very low, "Commander Gao, please work hard with me on this matter! If it succeeds, your department will also benefit! Unless
, after the high leader was willing to join the Han court, he sat back and watched his people become soldiers at the bottom of the Han family or farm laborers!"
Indeed, his consideration was correct.
Beidi County, which is no longer owned by the Central Plains Dynasty, has lagged far behind in terms of skills and knowledge in the past few decades.
If there were no scholars to impart knowledge and craftsmen to impart skills, there would be no room for advancement after returning to the Han Dynasty, and future generations would be inferior from now on!
Gein and others knew that the Han Dynasty would not be able to regain the strength of Beidi County in a short period of time.
The previously unified Han Dynasty had no choice but to abandon Beidi County three times, let alone the Han Dynasty that has not yet taken over Guanzhong!
"good."
After pondering for a long time, Gao Kai solemnly nodded and stretched out his hand, "If the Han army refuses, I will advance and retreat with you. Whether you go north to Hetao to join the Wei, or you move to Shangjun, we will live and die together!"
"Advance and retreat together!"
The Dian fan also stretched out his hand and swore an oath on his arm, "We will live and die together!"
However, even though they lowered their demands on their own initiative, they were still rejected by Zheng Pu.
"Don't talk about this matter again."
After hearing their request, Zheng Pu said, "There is no precedent for this in the imperial court, and I cannot be the first to do so!"
When you see them showing shame and annoyance after being rejected, you will no longer suppress your emotions and give them serious instructions.
say:
"In the past, there was Dong Zhuo's chaos, and in the later, Cao Cao was unruly. The Han Dynasty was in turmoil for decades. There were countless evil and ugly people in the world, and it was not limited to one county in the north. As the saying goes, 'The benevolent do not change their integrity with prosperity and decline, and the righteous do not change their integrity with prosperity and decline.
Survival and death change one's heart. The Han Dynasty has been raising scholars for four hundred years. On the occasion of rebelling against the Wei Dynasty and stealing the artifact, the loyal people are all heartbroken and are ready to fight with their swords, hoping to restore peace to the country from danger! I miss you and others who have been left behind.
I have been taught for too long, and I feel pity, so I opened the door to give you a chance to regain the glory of your fathers and ancestors. However, I don't want you to only hate being abandoned, and not to remember the kindness of the Han Dynasty, and to ask for too much!
In this way, you all ask yourselves, where is loyalty? How is it different from those who are only seeking profit? What is wrong with the clothes and hats of my great Han Ling Fu'er!"
