Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 264 Want to be in-laws
He Laitou nodded slightly. In fact, he was more inclined to defect to Huan Xi than Murong Jun.

There are many reasons, and Tuoba Shi mentioned by He Naci is just one of them. The more important reason is that the area where the Helan tribe lives is closer to Huan Xi's sphere of influence.

The origin of the name of the Helan tribe is related to the Helan Mountains on the west side of the Xitao Plain.

It's just that long before Huanxi took over the Hetao, the Helan tribe had already left the Helan Mountains and moved to the north of the Yinshan Mountains. But generally speaking, the Helan tribe still lived in the west of the Dai Kingdom, and naturally stayed away from the areas beyond the Dai Kingdom. Yan State in the east.

Of course, He Laitou still had another consideration.

Now Murong Jun has annexed the three states of Qing, Yan, and Xu in one fell swoop. It seems that he is in great momentum, but Yan State is destined not to be able to digest the land of the three states in a short time.

Huanxi has been running Guanxi for many years and has a solid foundation. Xianbei and Tiefu Xiongnu in Hexi are now bowing to him. If the two families really fight for Hedong, Murong Jun may not be able to go all out, but Huanxi can be undistracted.

I'm afraid that in this battle for Hedong, Yan will fall into a disadvantage.

As for Huan Xi's previous recruitment, He Laitou was just conceited and perfunctory, and he was not afraid of Huan Xi being blamed for this.

After all, Huanxi came to the Houtao Plain just to win over the tribes of Dai. If the Helan tribe was willing to take the initiative to surrender, Huanxi would be happy before it was too late, so how could he hold a grudge over a trivial matter.

Now that Helan Ci has contacted Huan Xi in advance, for him, it is equivalent to gaining an advantage. Once he can get Huan Xi's approval, there will be no suspense about the next leader of the Helan tribe.

He Naci took the initiative to ask Ying and said:

The Helan tribe will nominally submit to Tuoba Shi, the acting king canonized by the Jin Dynasty, but as we all know, Tuoba Shi is just a puppet in Huan Xi's hands.

When the matter was finalized, He Naci was asked to set off as soon as possible.

When He Naci was about to leave, He Laitou stopped him again and said:
"You are Muro's brother. Now that she is getting older, it is time to make plans for her marriage."

He Laitou smiled and said:
"What Naci said is very much to my liking."

However, He Naci was also willing to make this trip.

Zhang Yu'er, the side room Huan Xi had already passed through, was not much older than He Muluo.

As he spoke, He Laitou changed the topic and said seriously:
"This matter is of great importance. Once the news leaks out, the Helan tribe may be attacked by various tribes. Therefore, the person who goes to contact Huan Xi must be a member of his family."

When Tuoba Shi was in Guanzhong, even his surname was changed. Instead of being called Tuoba Shi, he was called Huan Shi.

He Naci knew clearly in his heart that today he said he wanted to discuss the future of the Helan tribe. In fact, his father had already had a plan in mind. The reason why he called him here was actually because he wanted He Naci to go to Langshan in person to pay homage to Huan. Hee.

The Muro He Laitou mentioned was his youngest daughter He Muluo. He Muro was twelve years old at the time. In later generations, he would have just been promoted to junior high school. However, in this era, marriage was also a normal thing. .

"The boy has heard about Huan Xi's name for a long time and is eager to see him. Today A Qian is looking for an envoy, so the boy recommends himself and is willing to share A Qian's worries."

He Laitou's eyes fell on He Naci.

He Laitou does not only have one son, He Naci. In the future, after the death of his father, his son will succeed him. The future leader of the Helan tribe must be recognized by Huan Xi.

Of course, the suspense now is not big. After all, if He Laitou didn't regard He Naci as his heir, how could he summon him alone.

He Laitou was overjoyed:
"With Nashi running for me, I have nothing to worry about."

He Naci Wenxianyin knew Yayin. He was about to go to Langshan, but his father asked him to pay attention to his younger sister's marriage. The only person similar in age to He Muluo was Tuoba Shi, the puppet in Huan Xi's hands.

But how could He Laitou marry his daughter to a puppet?

He Naci knew clearly that his father was going for Huan Xi. He hesitated and said:

"I heard that Zhang Yu'er has not been favored by Huan Xi since she entered the house. It is said that Huan Xi is particularly fond of widows. I am afraid that my little sister will not be able to fall in his eyes."

After Han Yan, Guo Jiang, Liu Meiren, and Murong Ying, Huan Xi's reputation for liking widows has spread.

He Laitou also heard it, but he didn't take it seriously and said:
"How could Huan Xi refuse a dowry of thirty-five thousand yuan?"

He Muluo also understands this truth. A political creature like Huan Xi will not do things based on his own likes and dislikes. Even if he doesn't like He Muluo, He Laitou came to vote with 35,000 yuan. On the way, He Muluo will also be brought into the house.

But if he doesn't get Huan Xi's love, I'm afraid waiting for He Muluo's ending will be doomed to be miserable.

Of course, this has nothing to do with He Laitou. What he wants is to marry the Huan family.

As for He Muluo, although He Laitou dotes on this daughter, but just as he has more than one son, He Naci, He Laitou also has more than just one daughter, He Muluo.

In He Laitou's eyes, personal happiness can be sacrificed for the future of the tribe.

However, with He Muluo's current facial features, He Laitou does not believe that Huan Xi will not be tempted if his appearance grows in a few years.

In fact, the reason why He Muluo is regarded as the apple of He Laitou's eye is inseparable from her fresh and lovely appearance.

If Tuoba Jun had not killed his father to seize power, and the Fu family had sent troops to control the Tuoba tribe, He Laitou had even planned to send He Muluo to the seat of the next generation princess, naturally as Tuoba Shi's wife.

However, at this moment and at that moment, whether it was Tuoba Shi who was controlled by Huan Xi, or Tuoba Lanpo who was controlled by the Fu family, they were all puppets in their hands.

He Laitou nominally wanted to serve Tuoba Shi as his master, but he did not want to be related by marriage to the acting king, so as not to arouse Huan Xi's suspicion.

After all, Tuoba Shi was said to be Huan Xi's stepson, but after all, he was an outsider with no blood relationship.

Huan Xi can't stay in the Hetao area for long. He must rush back to Guanzhong before winter.

But for a while, Huan Xi really couldn't get away.

Previously, he camped in Langshan and sent a large number of envoys to win over the various ministries of the Dai Kingdom, but with little success.

But he couldn't help it, Fu Sheng was assisting him.

Because Fu Sheng killed ministers indiscriminately, Helanbu's family was not the only one who was not optimistic about the prospects of the Yu Kingdom.

Among the six major tribes, the Tuoba tribe, the Dugu tribe, and the Bai tribe were defeated by Fu Jian and are now firmly controlled by the Fu family. However, the other three tribes have their own ideas. Except for the Helan tribe, the remaining two tribes Haven't made up my mind yet.

The Langshan camp was welcoming visitors. It had been very lively recently, but most of the people who came to pay their respects were envoys from small tribes, but Huan Xi also saw the light of day.

Huan Xi did not leave immediately. He wanted to win more tribesmen to vote. After all, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.

In this battle for the tribes of the Dai Kingdom, the Murong family was also involved.

There are more than a hundred tribes in Dai State. For them, Huan Xi and Murong Jun each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Although Huan Xi is one-eighth of Xianbei blood, Murong Jun is a serious Xianbei person and has a greater sense of identity.
