"Brother, that's what I say, but do we dare to bet?"

Tuoba Xilu is silent.

Wei people are unfaithful and unrighteous. This is the unshakable belief in his heart at this moment.

Even someone as upright as Tuoba Xulu knew at this time that Sima Yi seemed to have released himself and others, but in fact he was invisibly and firmly controlling everything.

Thousands of people and horses, not too many, not too few.

In addition, I and others were still barbarians, unfamiliar with the place, and they only had five days of food rations in hand.

Based on these, if you want to cause any trouble in Hebei, you are simply asking for death.

So next, I and others still have to follow Sima Yi's arrangements and go to the designated place to borrow food from others.

Although Tuoba Xilu wished he could lead his troops back immediately, attack Yecheng, pull out Sima Yi and cut him into pieces, he finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's go! Go to Yuancheng."

Although the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes of later generations have not yet been formed at this time, there are already hints of them.

For example, the Boling Cui and Qinghe Cui of Hebei, as well as the Fan Yang Lu family, are already considered to be among the top surnames of the aristocratic families in Hebei.

The aristocratic families not only have land, money and food, but also have many private soldiers who are called guardians but are actually clan soldiers.

In addition, the manor is self-sufficient and there are many forts to protect itself. It is not impossible to say that it is a small country of its own.

And these Tuoba Hu'er who were specially released to bite people seemed to be quite numerous.

But they are like plucked grass chickens. They are not even qualified to touch the Cui family and the Lu family. The most they can do is beat their teeth with some offshoots.

Therefore, when Sima Yi sacrificed the Tuoba family, the first one he slashed was not the Cui family and the Lu family, but the Yuancheng Wang family.

Yuancheng and Yecheng originally belonged to Wei County, but after Cao Pi became emperor, he separated part of Wei County into Yangping County, and the county government was Yuancheng.

In August of the 14th year of Duke Xi of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period (643 BC), Shalu Mountain in Yuancheng collapsed in the continuous autumn rain, and the Linhe Mountain fell into the Yellow River.

The historian of the Jin Dynasty made a divination for this and said: Yin is the male of yang, and earth and fire are multiplied, so the sand deer will collapse. In the next 645 years, it is suitable for the rise of a holy girl.

"Spring and Autumn Classic", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Spring and Autumn Biography" and other historical books have recorded this.

More than six hundred years later, during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, a woman came out of Yuancheng. Her surname was Wang and her name was Zhengjun.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhengjun gave birth to a son to the prince in the Jiaguan Painting Hall, who was also the legitimate grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was so delighted that he named his grandson himself and held a festive banquet in the palace. His grandson was "always at his side".

This grandson was Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Zhengjun was also promoted from maid to Jieyu, then to empress, empress dowager, and empress dowager. After four emperors, she enjoyed the country for more than sixty years.

Naturally, the Wang family in Yuancheng also followed the rising tide, and finally formed a situation in which "the Wang family's descendants are all ministers, officials, ministers, and Cao Cao, and they are divided into powerful officials to fill the imperial court."

The most famous among Wang's children is called Wang Mang.

That's right, it was Wang Mang who made Wang Zhengjun so angry that he smashed the Jade Seal of the Kingdom on the ground, and finally broke one corner of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.

Although Wang Mang's new dynasty was not recognized, Wang Mang himself eventually died without a burial place, and the status of the Wang family in Yuancheng also plummeted.

But after hundreds of years of romance among aristocratic families, they still have their roots.

Coupled with the two hundred years of recuperation and recuperation in the Later Han Dynasty, although the Wang family in Yuancheng could never regain the glory of the former Han Dynasty, those who were officials and county guards could.

Therefore, although the Wang family of Yuancheng cannot be compared with the Cui family and the Lu family, they are still barely qualified to be called a local prominent family.

For Sima Yi, the Wang family in Yuancheng was either big or small. It was adjacent to Wei County and not far from Yecheng. It was easy to control. It was the best target to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

——

In the eleventh year of Yanxi of the Han Dynasty and the ninth year of the Zhengshi period of the puppet Wei Dynasty, a military rebellion broke out in Yuancheng, Yangping County, Hebei Province.

Military chaos is a common occurrence for the current state of Wei.

Whether it was Hebei or Guandong and Huainan, the repeated defeats of Wei State caused domestic turmoil and unstable people.

Coupled with the changes in the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system, two generations of pseudo-emperors were forced to patrol eastward in succession, Cao Shuang came to power, Sima Yi entered Hebei, and other events, which resulted in the court's control over local areas being continuously weakened.

With the weakening of the imperial court's control, in order to maintain local stability, it had to rely more on local powerful people and aristocratic families.

As a result, the power of local powerful people and aristocratic families expanded, further weakening the court's control over the local area...

It has the intention of repeating the mistake of spiraling into heaven and self-destructing at the end of the Later Han Dynasty.

This is one of the reasons why even though Sima Yi successfully took control of Hebei, in many cases he was helpless against the powerful families in Hebei.

It would be a good thing if the imperial power did not go to the countryside. Now the power of the Wei government can only be limited to one city at most.

Even the lifeblood of the imperial court, such as taxation, was in the hands of the wealthy families.

However, the local tycoons and aristocratic families isolated the government and the people, so it was natural for them to deceive the superiors and conceal the situation from the inferiors.

They even colluded with local officials to oppress the people and farmers.

The consequences were that at least the people abandoned their farmland and fled, and at worst the farmers killed officials and rebelled.

Although there are usually dozens or hundreds of people rebelling, and at most it is only a few hundred people rebelling, it won't be a big deal, but the rise of bandits is still a headache.

However, there were Han troops suppressing the territory from outside, and powerful ministers and factions fought internally. Therefore, except for places where heavy troops were stationed, most of the local stability could only rely on local powerful people and aristocratic families.

So the vicious cycle starts again...

Of course, this also resulted in the wealthy private soldiers being very experienced in dealing with bandits.

"Puff puff puff..."

The arrow feathers made of bone were nailed to the wooden fence, and the arrow feathers were still trembling, making a slight trembling sound.

Except for a few of the nursing home servants who looked nervous, the rest of them had solemn expressions, but they were not at a loss for words with nervousness.

"Don't be afraid, they don't have siege equipment. Everyone needs to guard their position, and those bandits won't be able to attack!"

The leaders of the private soldiers were patrolling back and forth while encouraging the private soldiers.

Looking out from inside the Wubao, you can see black smoke rising from many places outside, both far and near.

It was a small village that was broken into by bandits.

I heard that there were ten thousand bandits who came to plunder this time, which was a huge number.

Because the incident happened suddenly and many villages were not prepared, they were broken into by bandits and all were wiped out, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

What was close before our eyes were the bandits roaring back and forth outside Wubao, shooting arrows at Wubao from time to time.

Many of them even rode horses.

This is a tough bandit.

There are even certain organizations.

They are not at the same level as those rogue bandits in the past.

Through observation, he could clearly see the situation outside. The owner of the Wubao had a gloomy look on his face. He clenched his hands into fists and smashed them against the wooden fence of the village, causing the soil to fall down:

"It's a barbarian! The news is correct, it's really a barbarian!"

It is not uncommon for Hu people to exist in Hebei. In the early years when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were fighting, Yuan Shao used barbarians to fight against Cao Cao.

However, after the establishment of the Wei Dynasty, although there were still barbarian people coming and going in the interior of Hebei, they basically came to pay tribute. How could they have been as plundering as they are now?

It is self-evident where these barbarians in front of me come from.

"Si! Ma! Yi!"

The owner of the village gritted his teeth and squeezed out these three words.

Leading the Hu invaders into the fortress in an attempt to fight against the Han army, but before the Han army arrived, the Hu invaders had already started to cause trouble. What is the difference between this and opening the door to welcome the thieves?

PS:

The tiger girl took advantage of the company's benefits and went abroad for more than ten days. The day after she came back, her throat started to feel dry and sore, and then she had a fever.

Then on the third day, the child also started to have a high fever and went to the hospital for examination. It was found that both mothers were infected by a virus.

Although it was tiring to take care of my mother-in-law, I thought that I was fine.

Who knew that Tiger Girl's fever had just subsided, but my throat started to feel uncomfortable, and then a fever followed.

The next day, my throat hurt, my muscles hurt, my joints hurt, my bones hurt, and my bones all hurt...

This feeling is so damn familiar!

The hospital couldn't find out what kind of virus it was. I knew full well that this was a new strain brought back from abroad by Tiger Girl. It would be strange if it could be found unless it was carefully investigated.

After struggling for more than ten days, the whole family was almost recovered, but who knew that the child began to have low-grade fever intermittently.

I knew something was wrong, so I ran to the hospital with the baby in my arms. The doctor listened to the baby's heart and lungs and thought it was nothing serious, but I strongly requested to take a X-ray.

After the film came out, as expected, I got pneumonia, and it was quite serious, so I quickly arranged to be hospitalized.

The child stayed in the hospital for a week and was only discharged two days ago.

This will give you time to update.

The whole family is still coughing.
