Dajin royal family

Chapter 432
Generally speaking, Wen Yanfei speaks for King Zhao, with an attitude that is obviously biased towards King Zhao. As a normal family elder, he should be reprimanded. More importantly, Wen Yanfei also said that it is the family's selfishness to get close to King Zhao.

But Wen Daya didn't think so. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with his nephew's daring to speak, express, and even show his loyalty.

Although the Wen family is a wealthy family, they are not politicians, let alone being a fool.

Just like himself, when he donated the good land, he didn't think about whether he could express his loyalty in front of King Zhao. He was just planning for the great cause of King Zhao and the stability of Hebei.

This is a qualified politician!
He has his own position and principles. Since he promised to be loyal to the Northern Jin Dynasty, he is naturally a member of King Zhao.

More importantly, King Zhao is not a fool, but an incomprehensible person, no one can know what he is thinking.

Logically speaking, if the Lu family did not cooperate with King Zhao, he should be very angry, and he should accept the fact that he gave up the fertile land.

But he didn't.

Wen Daya doesn't think that such a person is not clear about the relationship between the family and the dynasty.

What's more, when King Zhao entered Taiyuan, it was hard not to suspect that King Zhao already had the support of the Wang family and the Pei family.

Otherwise, how could the Northern Jin Dynasty win Bingzhou in just one year.

Furthermore, Wen Yanfei's ability to consider for King Zhao in this way is the key to whether he can be reused by King Zhao in the future.

It goes without saying that King Zhao looks at people, if his nephew blindly seeks benefits for the family, he might not be valued by King Zhao.

"I'm very happy that you can say this." Wen Daya said unhurriedly: "But you have to be clear about one thing, if the king does not have the support of the Shandong gentry, how can he easily gain a foothold in Bingzhou? What you are worried about is completely unnecessary. , you just need to remember one thing."

"what?"

"Everything is subject to King Zhao. As long as it does not involve the life and death of the Wen family, you don't need to talk nonsense. Whether a family can be strong and whether it can be valued by the emperor is not because of how rich the family's heritage is, but depends on the family. Whether there are capable people in the clan."

"Yanfei, as long as you have talent, the king will definitely use you. Think about Du Ruming, this son is just a side branch of Jingzhao Du's five servants, but the king still uses him as a secret servant of the court. From this point of view, the king is the only one."

"This time, our plan is for Wen's century-old plan. Whether you can get the king's attention will affect Wen's status in the court for the next 20 or 30 years. Therefore, now The world has not yet been unified, this is your good opportunity, if you are valued by the king, in time, it is not impossible for the Wen family to surpass the Lu family and the Cui family."

These words are still a bit far away for Wen Yanfei now, even he was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, he never thought that his uncle would think so much.

Seeing his nephew acting like he didn't understand, Wen Daya was not angry, and explained lightly: "You just need to remember one thing now, to serve the king wholeheartedly, let the king see Wen, remember you, so Wen The king will only get the reuse of the king, do you understand?"

"Nephew. I understand."

Seeing this, Wen Daya said: "You don't have to worry about what the king thinks, the king is the king, and he thinks more thoroughly than you about some things, you just need to be a good courtier and that's enough."

Hearing this, Wen Yanfei relieved his messy mood and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will live up to my uncle's expectations."

In March of the first year of King Zhao, the land of Hebei was raging with war.

In the Battle of Hejian, Liu Jianhan's soldiers were defeated and fled south from the capital city. They were finally intercepted and killed by the Hussar General Wei Zhongyu of the Northern Jin Dynasty led by [-] cavalry, and beheaded in Leshou.

The chief general Wei Chijing led an army to defeat Wang Xuba in Hejian and forced him to flee to Jingcheng. However, Wang Xuba never expected that Li Yaoshi, who had received the news of Wang Xuba's escape, planted heavy troops seventy miles outside Jingcheng to intercept and kill Wang Xuba. .

Wang Xuba was originally a remnant and defeated general. When he ran into Li Yaoshi's army who was in ambush, he was killed directly by surprise, and finally committed suicide after being defeated.

When Wang Xuba died, the news spread back to Jingcheng, and people panicked for a while, and Li Yaoshi had Wang Xuba's head cut off and hung under Jingcheng.

The morale of the soldiers in Jingcheng was in turmoil, and everyone was in panic all day long. The guard Liu Sidao knew that he could no longer defend Jingcheng, so he committed suicide in the mansion.

After Liu Sidao died, the guard of Jingcheng opened the city gate and surrendered.

When Li Yaoshi led his army into the city, he sent two groups of troops to recover Changlu and Pingshu one after another.

Yu Chijing on the other side also recovered Leshou and Raoyang. So far, the entire Hejian County fell into the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Wei Zhongyu was ordered to lead [-] cavalry all the way south, and wiped out the remnants of Liu Jianhan in Xindu County. In just a few tens of days, Wuqiang, Xiabo, Lucheng, Wuyi, Hengshui and other counties were thrown or destroyed, and were successively recovered. , Most of Xindu County also fell into the hands of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

So far, Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan, the two major tyrants in Hebei, have been completely destroyed, leaving only the last remnants of sticking to Changle.

The news of Wang Xuba and Liu Jianhan's destruction reached Gao Lie's ears, and he immediately dispatched generals to attack Pingyuan County with all their strength, and occupied Pingyuan County three days later.

And in Xiangguo County, Pei Yuanyan also beat Lu Mingyue back steadily, fleeing north to Julu.

In fact, Lu Mingyue was already carefully avoiding Jiang Chengxiao, but who made him occupy Xiangguo County so desperately.

Pei Yuanyan led the army from Fukou into Wu'an County, and then relied on the strength of the cavalry to drive straight into Xiangguo County. He won all three battles and beheaded tens of thousands of people, which made Lu Mingyue's soldiers lose their morale.

King City.

Han Su is the grandson of Zuo Xiaowei's sub-general Han Zhong. When Zuo Xiaowei failed to suppress the bandits in Qingzhou, Han Zhong was blamed by the late emperor and was dismissed from his post in the government. He died in depression not long after.

Prior to this, Han Zhong followed the late emperor to conquer Goguryeo. At that time, he had a good talk with Jiang Chengxiao, who was still the county king. When Hongye was three years old, the two were still fighting against the Turks in Bingzhou.As a result, the two formed a friendship. At that time, Han Su, who was still a leading soldier, was handed over to Jiang Chengxiao by Han Zhong.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't refuse either, he accepted Han Zhong, took him with him to teach him carefully, and subtly instilled his thoughts.

Not long ago, he and He Fubo joined forces in Liaodong to destroy the last tribe of the eight surnames of the Xi tribe. After waiting for an imperial edict from King Zhao, the two of them were asked to participate in the battle against Hebei.

The difference is that he followed Li Yaoshi, while He Fubo followed General Pei Yuanyan.

Han Su was tall and tall, and he was good at wielding a big iron spear. Because he liked to wear white armor in battle, the soldiers called him White Armor General.

In fact, he prefers others to call him Little Zhao Yun, because the famous player he admires the most is Zhao Yun.

After several years of subtle brainwashing by Jiang Chengxiao in Liaodong, he has Jiang Chengxiao's style of doing things all over his body.

This is especially true in combat.

That is, to kill prisoners of war!

When he was in Liaodong, it was not uncommon for King Zhao to order the young and strong men of the grassland tribes to be killed.Especially the repeated mobs in Goguryeo, 10,000+ people were massacred by King Zhao successively.

In the words of King Zhao, the old people in the prairie can be used to raise horses without worrying about their rebellion, and the women of the prairie tribes can be used to give birth to children, Sinicize them, and solve the major issues in the lives of soldiers.

Therefore, when facing prisoners of war, the first thing he did when he entered the city was to execute them all on the spot.

But this time, he was stopped by Yaoshi Li.

When Han Su angrily entered the tent of the Chinese army set up by the Northern Jin army in the city, the generals were discussing the integration of prisoners of war.

Pharmacist Li looked up and saw the anger on his face, and he understood it.

"General Han came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?" Li Yaoshi said lightly.

The generals stopped discussing and looked over one after another.

Han Su said: "General, if these thieves are not killed, if they repeat in the future, it will definitely cause turmoil in one side. Please also allow me to execute them, General."

Pharmacist Li didn't intend to talk to him about the truth.

Although he has not been in contact with Han Su for a long time, if Li Yaoshi can come out a little bit, Han Su is only loyal to King Zhao, and he is only willing to obey King Zhao's words.

This can be seen from the affairs of the prisoners of war.

Because he ordered to prevent him from killing prisoners of war, he stopped immediately.

It's not because he abides by the military regulations, but because King Zhao told him to follow his own orders before he set out for the expedition.

Because he obeyed King Zhao, Han Su obeyed himself.

Therefore, Li Yaoshi said slowly: "You are not allowed to kill prisoners of war, this is the king's order."

Hearing this, Han Su was taken aback for a moment, then choked out a few words, "Why?"

"Because the pacification of Hebei is imminent, the king needs young and strong men to return to the fields to work in the fields. You killed them all. Will you plant the land in Hebei?"

Facing Li Yaoshi's words, Han Su was speechless.After a long while, Fang just cupped his hands and said: "The general will know his mistake."

Li Yaoshi nodded, and immediately said: "The palace built by Wang Xuba in Jingcheng has been surrounded by my people, please General Han to go and have a look, and make sure that no one enters the palace without authorization."

"Yes!"

Han Su took the order and left.

After solving the small matter of Han Su, Li Yaoshi devoted himself to the matter of reorganizing the prisoners of war.
