Dajin royal family
Chapter 518 Xiaoguan's old friend
Chapter 518 Xiaoguan's old friend (Thanks for the reward of the story of the starry sky)
The four fortresses in Guanzhong are all located in the mountains and valleys. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Just like the four gates in Guanzhong, as long as the gates are well guarded, there will be no worries in Guanzhong.
Xiaoguan is located in Pingliang County, where the Gaoping River passes through the gorge.Going out of Xiaoguan, you can take Lingwu County, and then attack the Western Regions and even the grasslands in the north.Xiaoguan Road is also an important road of the ancient Silk Road, and there has never been a shortage of merchants and tourists since ancient times.
Since Pingliang County fell into Li Yuan's hands, he asked his clan brother Li Shuzong to lead an army of 5000 to guard the place.Later, because of the decisive battle with Wei, Li Shuzong led [-] soldiers to the battlefield, leaving only [-] troops to stay in Xiaoguan.
At dawn, several carriages came staggeringly from a distance, and stopped at the pass to be inspected by General Xiao Guan.
The guard is none other than Xue Baishao, Lieutenant of Liangchuan County, Huining County.
After Li Yuan captured Huining County, Xue Baishao surrendered to Li Yuan and joined the army to follow Li Shuzong. Later, he was promoted to General Lang because of his military exploits, and then guarded Xiaoguan with Li Shuzong, and he is now the guard of Xiaoguan.
"Get off the horse!" Xue Baishao roared, "Check!"
After saying that, he turned around and gave his brothers a wink, which meant 'have a good slaughter'.
The soldiers of the city gate stepped forward one after another, and rudely entered the carriage to check, to see if they could find something good and take advantage of it.
A middle-aged man in a long gown got out of the carriage, looked at the guard's back, took a deep breath, and straightened his clothes.
"General, we are a small business." The middle-aged man's mouth was drawn with a smile, looking very relaxed.
"I care about you"
Xue Baishao turned around, before he finished speaking, he was stunned when he saw the middle-aged man.
"Two" He quickly stopped talking, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Half an hour later, several carriages entered Xiaoguan safely.
Late at night, in the Xiaoguan Inn.
"Master Xue, will your two nephews come?" No. [-] leaned against the window sill, squinting his eyes slightly, as if he felt the wind outside, and seemed to be dozing off again.
The middle-aged man with the surname Xue is Xue Shou, the magistrate of Liyang County!
"Don't worry, general, Bai Shao Bai Li will definitely come."
Putting down the teacup in his hand, he calmly brushed off the dust on the table, "We will never delay the king's important affairs."
"Hmm." Number Zero snorted, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, "They're here."
The voice fell, and there was a knock on the door.
Xue Shou opened the door, and Xue Baili and Xue Baishao were standing outside the door neatly dressed.
After welcoming the two of them in, Number Zero made a gesture towards the dark place, a black shadow flashed by, and people were densely packed around the inn.
"Second Uncle, why did you come here?" Xue Baishao asked a question that he dared not ask during the day.
In their brother's opinion, Xue Shou shouldn't be here.Because the Northern Jin Dynasty occupied Hedong, their Xue family was an official in Taiyuan. At this time, the second uncle who was the county magistrate of Liyang appeared here. It would be extremely bad if someone with a heart noticed it.
Xue Shou said: "For you, even more for the Xue family."
Xue Baili and Xue Baishao looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.
Xue Shou explained: "Do you know that the head of the family has been transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Six Ministers of the Tiange Pavilion, and I was also promoted by the king to be the governor of Wuyuan County."
Although the two lived in Pingliang County, they still knew the system of the Northern Jin Dynasty. The six phases of the Tiange meant that the Xue family had entered the core decision-making level of the Northern Jin Dynasty and was highly valued by King Zhao.
"Congratulations second uncle."
Xue Shou waved his hand, and continued: "Do you know what I came to see you for?"
The two shook their heads, but each had some guesses in their hearts.
"Fate is in King Zhao, and the family has decided to submit to the king."
Xue Baili's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice: "Second Uncle, didn't the clan decide to let Bai Shao follow Li Gong back then, why did they suddenly ask us to submit to the Northern Jin Dynasty, or did the clan no longer favor Li Gong?"
It is a common practice of the family not to put all eggs in the same basket.
For example, Li Yuan's good friend Pei Ji, who was born in the Pei family of Sangquan in Hedong, was one of the branches of the Pei family of Wenxi, and someone from the Zheng family of Xingyang was also an official in Xu State.
Xue Shou said: "I don't know, I have received an order from the king to persuade you to surrender. If you don't agree, and you want to send me to Li Yuan, I have nothing to say."
The brothers quickly stated that they would never do that.
"Why does King Zhao miss little people like us?" Xue Baili frowned, and then his eyes flashed, "Second Uncle, tell the truth, do you want me and my second brother to open Xiaoguan and let our second brother be stationed in Lingwu County? The Jin army entered Guanzhong."
He thought about it and felt that his value to Bei Jin was only this.
"Your Majesty said that you are bold and careful, which is indeed true." Xue Shou smiled and did not deny his words.
"Your Majesty knows me?" Xue Baili was stunned, how could that high-ranking king pay attention to him.
"I don't know about that." Xue Shou shook his head, then asked solemnly, "What's your decision?"
Hearing this, the brothers fell into deep thought.
On the other side, the guard's mansion located within Xiaoguan.
The former Princess Zhending, Jiang Nanjia, was coaxing a young child to sleep. Several years of simple food and drink made her stay away from the princess of gold branches and jade leaves, and get closer to the woman in the farmhouse.
She doesn't feel bitter at all, but feels very free and happy, and she hopes to live like this for the rest of her life.
She doesn't care about changes in the world situation, and she doesn't have any sense of identity with the Jin family.
Now, she feels very content.
After putting the child to sleep, she got up and left. When she was walking in the courtyard, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Princess Zhending."
These four words were like thunder, making her freeze in place for a moment, unable to move.
She tried her best to get rid of the title, but she didn't expect to be called out a few years later.
"Who are you!" She wandered around, trying to find the person in the dark.
A shadow appeared in the hallway, the figure clinging to the back of the pillar.
"I'm from King Zhao."
King Zhao!
Those two simple words reminded her of many things, many things she didn't want to look back on.
"What do you want to do?"
"The king asked me to give the princess a message."
"What?"
"The home is still there, is the princess willing to go back?"
"Family?" Nanjia sneered, "There is no such thing as a family, but a group of hard-hearted people."
Back then, King Zhao traded her as a commodity with the Turpan people.
"Wang Shang's original words, the princess and the orphan are both blood relatives, and all he can do is to deal with the aftermath of the princess."
This sentence made her startled.
"What do you mean?"
"Everything is in the letter." After saying that, the person in the dark came out and delivered a letter.
Nan Jia took the letter and opened it to read.
After a while, she murmured: "So that's the case, so he knows."
She and Xue Baili also wondered why no one chased them after the incident. It turned out that King Zhao secretly took care of their aftermath.
"What does he want from me?"
"Your majesty said that this world belongs to the Jin family and the Jiang family. The princess can hate the first emperor, she can hate him, but how can she sit back and watch outsiders take over the Jiang family and slaughter the royal children."
Hearing this, Nan Jia slowly grasped the letter tightly.
Inn.
"Second Uncle, let Second Brother do it, I can't submit to the Northern Jin Dynasty." After careful consideration, Xue Baili made a decision.
"Why?" Xue Shou didn't understand.
Xue Baishao understood, because his elder brother eloped with the former princess of the Jin family, and even killed Prime Minister Tupan.
"Second Uncle, I can't tell." Xue Baili shook his head and said, "But please tell King Zhao, I will not oppose him."
Xue Shou frowned, and was about to ask further, when No. [-] came out from the dark.
"General Xue, don't rush to make a decision, why don't you go back to the mansion and ask your wife?"
"Who are you!" Xue Baili and Xue Baishao were startled, and immediately drew out their knives and stared at Number Zero warily.
They had been in the house for so long, but they didn't realize that there was a fourth person here.
"Don't be nervous, he is the king's envoy." Xue Shou hurriedly explained.
Zero smiled, and helped the iron mask on his face, "General Xue, the king asked me to give you a word."
"What?"
"Don't look at the past."
Xue Baili is the only one who understands this sentence, because it needs to be combined with the previous zero number sentence; 'Ask your wife'.
Xue Baili felt that King Zhao probably knew the biggest secret hidden in his heart.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." After saying that, Xue Baili put away his knife and turned to leave.
Xue Shou was a little puzzled, he felt that the king had dealt with his nephew before?
Number Zero said to Xue Baishao: "What about you, what's your decision?"
Without saying a word, Xue Baishao knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to surrender to the king."
Is there still a need to choose? The family has followed the Northern Jin Dynasty, so he will naturally make a choice.When he surrendered to Li Yuan back then, he just obeyed the arrangement of his family.
The same is true now.
"Messenger, my elder brother"
"Don't be nervous, your elder brother will figure it out." Zero waved his hand indifferently.
At this time, Xue Baili was rushing home.
