After stopping for several more days, at the end of April, Gongsun Xun officially transferred his troops back to the hinterland of Youzhou.

It's really time to go.

After all, the arrival of Aunt Gongsun and Zhao Bao means that someone will take charge of the overall military and political affairs here in western Liaoning, and Aunt Gongsun will stay here for many days to ensure that the nearly 200,000 Wuhuan and Zahu people are finally included in their own treasure.

In his son's pocket... The price Gongsun Xun paid for this was to temporarily leave his two older sons with Zhao Bao. The two parties agreed that Gongsun Ding and Gongsun Ping would not follow them until autumn.

Together with my grandmother, I returned to Changping.

The arrival of Mohu Zang and Lou Ban also meant the complete end of the war in western Liaoning.

However, the reason why he stopped for a few days before leaving was actually related to Mohu Zang... In the words of Gongsun Auntie, Mohu Zang was able to awaken his national consciousness, but finally chose to surrender unconditionally, which exactly shows his choice of sinicization.

Those who have experienced soul level tempering may be the most reliable in the future! And for such tribes who are interested in sinicization, formal recognition has been given to enhance their sense of identity.

As a result, Gongsun Auntie and Gongsun Xun worked together to make certain iconic adaptations of the three novels: Mo Hu Bu, Duan Bu, and Qi Fen Bu.

The Mohu tribe was no longer called Mohu tribe, but changed its name to Murong tribe. The entire Mohu tribe, except Mohu Zang, who still took the surname Mohu to show vigilance because of his guilt, all the others immediately changed their surname to Murong.

, to show the intention of reforming.

Among them, Mohu Zang's son who could already ride a horse was named Murong Bo directly by Gongsun.

There is not much to say about Duan Bu. He is still a Duan Bu, but he can no longer come up with four-letter names like before. In the future, customs will also have to be followed. For example, Duan Ri Yuming's son was renamed Duan Zhixing by his aunt.

As for the Twelve-in-one Qi Fen tribe, the new leader Black Otter probably understood from the beginning that the surname Tianwang was too much, so he took the initiative to ask for a name. I don’t know why, but Aunt Gongsun was very original.

You gave the other person a surname of Yuwen, but didn’t change his name?

In other words, from now on, the Fenbu will be the Yuwenbu, and the Black Otter King will also become the Yuwen Black Otter!

Moreover, because it is said that there is no greater merit than the savior, Yuwen Black Otter has achieved special honors this time, and Murong's tribe must be severely punished, so Gongsun Xun officially took back the Chengde City originally occupied by Murong's tribe as punishment.

, and in turn rewarded it to the Yuwen Department as a reward, and allowed the Yuwen Department to temporarily stay in western Liaoning, and took the lead in annexing many Zahu tribes who opposed the household registration to make up the people, thus forming a strength with Mohu and Duan.

balance.

According to Gongsun Xun's arrangement, these three tribes still seem to be used as a barrier to the north of Youzhou. Since all three tribes come from western Liaoning, and they are all reorganized into Han surnames, they can be regarded as officially becoming vassals or retainers of the Gongsun family.

, Therefore, the names of the three guards of Liaoxi and the three surnames of Liaoxi were spread almost instantly.

But regardless of whether it was the Three Guards of Liaoxi or the Three Surnames of Liaoxi, in early May, Gongsun Xun, who had made arrangements in a hurry, led more than 20,000 counter-rebellion troops back to Lulongsai, and also returned to the solid North China Plain. There,

He gathered the remaining tens of thousands of able-bodied men and civilians, totaling fifty or sixty thousand, and then turned around and returned to Changping.

Regarding this, Liu Yu, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou and others from Daijun in Shanggu did not take it seriously... After all, from Gongsun Xun's point of view, this counterinsurgency was indeed difficult, and at one time it was extremely dangerous.

When the situation happened, he even lost his mind for a while and experienced a rare baptism in his mind. However, from the perspective of Liu Yu, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, and even from the perspective of Zhao Bao and Gongsun Auntie, it may not be that big a deal.

feelings.

This is because that setback was too short-lived in the entire war, not to mention that there was a classic victory immediately after it to cover up everything... Liu Yu and others were thousands of miles apart.

In other words, you may not even notice the occurrence of such a small setback.

As for the fall of Wuhuan, Kebi Neng's defeat, and Zhang Chun's enthronement... wasn't that what everyone expected? When General Wei sent out troops, did anyone still think that he would be defeated?

The only emotion I feel is probably that General Wei was very fast this time. He was alone outside the Great Wall, with a five-hundred-mile road there. It would have taken twenty or thirty days for the army to go back and forth, but Gongsun Xun could only fight and clean up the aftermath.

It took more than a month and it was over.

That's all.

However, when Gongsun Xun led the victorious army of 50,000 to Changping, something interesting happened, because he did not disband the entire army on the spot in Changping. Instead, he led his troops to continue westward and arrived at Shanggu County, west of Juyong Pass.

The county governs Juyang City (the first generation of Huailai County in later generations), which is where Liu Yu's state headquarters was after he came to Youzhou, and then issued an invitation for Liu Yu, who was still inspecting Gaoliu in Dai County, to introduce Yan Rou, the new Huwuhuan captain.

meet him.

Those who come are not good and those who are kind will not come. Liu Yu is by no means a stupid person. When he received the message, his scalp went numb and he screamed secretly, but he was unable to do anything.

Because, following Gongsun Xun's invitation, tens of thousands of troops continued to march westward, either occupying Guangning (later Zhangjiakou), or approaching Ning County and Macheng (where Wuhuan's settlement in Shanggu is located, and where the Wuhuan captain is stationed).

There was even Tian Yu, who came from a wealthy Youzhou family, who galloped in with three thousand cavalry and took over Gaoliusei.

Immediately, before Liu Yu could think about it, Wang Ze, the prefect of Daijun, and Gao Yan, the prefect of Shanggu, came to invite them in person. In such a situation, Liu Yu had nothing to say and could only prepare to return to Juyang.

And the night before he set off from Gaoliu to Juyang, he specially sent someone to Ning County to summon Yan Rou, and asked the latter to prepare according to Gongsun Xun's wishes, and then go with him.

However, before the messenger could leave, Yan Rou took only a few dozen elite Xianbei cavalry and rode overnight to Gaoliu.

"Follow you to Ning County?" Liu Yu summoned Yan Rou in his private room overnight, but unexpectedly heard such a ridiculous suggestion. "Why should I follow you to Ning County?"

"Mr. Liu!" Yan Rou's actual age is not over thirty, but years of living in the grassland have left him with a dusty face. At this time, he is anxious and unbearable, his brows are furrowed, and with his disheveled hair, he looks quite old. "Today's

The situation may not get better. If we go to Juyang, there may be something unbearable to say! And when we go to Ning County, I have seven or eight thousand Xianbei soldiers there, as well as Shanggu Wuhuan..."

"Nonsense!" Liu Yu scolded him back before the other party finished speaking. "What does it mean to be unable to bear words? Tell yourself, can General Wei kill me or depose me? And General Luozhong is still here, so he is

If I really break my heart and drag you and I into Luo, I can escape calmly, right? Instead, I will go with you to Ning County and gather a crowd to confront each other. That would be hard to do, right?!"

Yan Rou, who was lying on the ground, took a breath, but had nothing to say... Such a reaction was not because Liu Yu was too pedantic and weak, but on the contrary, Liu Yu's words were too powerful to a certain extent.

That makes sense!

Not to mention that there is no leeway, as long as Liu Boan himself does not talk nonsense or does unnecessary things, then Gongsun Xun will not kill Liu Yu. This is a high-level political rule. But if Liu Yu really goes to Ning County, pull up

There are tens of thousands of Wuhuan people and Xianbei people resisting stubbornly, so don't blame the lack of swordsmanship... Even the crime of killing Liu Yu can be directly placed on Yan Rou.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Liu Yu's meeting with Gongsun Xun was the safest, most secure, and even the most correct way for him to deal with it.

But the question is, what should Yan Rou do?

Guangning and Gaoliu were blocked. Ningxian and Guangning were guarded by the superior strength of the Han army on both sides. Now, if the general Wei wanted to deal with him, Yan Rou would be just a piece of bacon on the pallet. And the only one

The way to regain the initiative is actually what he is doing right now - inviting Liu Yu to Ning County!

In the entire Youzhou, only Liu Yu has the political appeal to confront Gongsun Xun, and only with this man's protection can he, Yan Rou, control his own destiny with the weak troops at his disposal.

Liu Yu's reputation was justified, and together with Yan Rou's troops, he could barely resist Gongsun Xun, but only barely.

But the key point is, Liu Yu really doesn’t need it!

"I..." Yan Rou raised her head and wanted to speak, but in the end she just bowed her head and sighed. "It's because I didn't think well. In fact, if it weren't for Liu Gong, I would still be running around on the grassland and be a bereaved dog. How could I do it now?

Why put Liu Gong in danger because of some selfish motives?"

"It's okay." Liu Yu was somewhat moved when he saw the other party being so sincere, so he stepped forward and helped him up personally. "Go and tie your hair into a bun and put on a straight skirt. This time, come with me to Juyang, Wei

General, I am responsible for everything, and I will do my best to protect you... In my opinion, all he wants is the governance of the remaining two counties and the troops of Wuhuan in Shanggu. At the worst, we can give it to him."

Yan Rou smiled bitterly and could only nod helplessly.

In this way, three days later, Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu calmly returned to Juyang City with his state officials, the new Huwuhuan Colonel Yan Rou, the Daijun Prefect Wang Ze, and the Shanggu Prefect Gao Yan.

Gao Yan, the prefect of Shanggu, fulfilled his duties as a landlord immediately. As soon as he returned to the city, he held a banquet in front of the official temple in the county and invited Gongsun Xun and Liu Yu to the banquet... saying that he wanted to celebrate.

General Wei successfully suppressed the rebellion.

Gao Yan was an old friend of Gongsun Xun. When Gao Yan was the governor of Liaodong, Gongsun Xun served as the Xiangping Order under him. This man was of course the most suitable person to be the middle man.

In fact, Gongsun Xun accepted the invitation almost immediately and happily led everyone to the banquet.

And that afternoon, after the banquet started, after the gate of the official temple was sealed, everyone first recommended General Wei and Youzhou Mu to sit together at the top. Of course, there is nothing to say about this; then you two thousand stones and all the officials in the state, then

They are listed on the left, and the officers who have contributed a lot to suppressing the rebellion this time are officials, that is, the officials of General Wei's mansion. There are dozens of them, and they are sitting on the right... Such an arrangement seems to have given enough to the guards.

General's face, otherwise with the rank of these people, they would not be able to compete with those on the opposite side.

Afterwards, the wine, food, singing, dancing and music were all well arranged. It was obvious that this was done in the hope of stirring up the atmosphere so that the two of them would not be embarrassed if they argued later.

"The music of this team comes from Liaodong." As soon as the music stopped, Prefect Gao Yangao, who was sitting in the first place on the left hand, couldn't wait to hold up his hands and smiled. "It was when Mrs. Gongsun left office that day.

Some of the songs given to me as gifts are particularly outstanding... I was originally hesitant to play triumphal music when General Wei returned from victory? But after thinking about it, General Wei may be tired of hearing that kind of music, but it is in General Wei's home.

The old music may sound more familiar to me now."

When Gongsun Xun, who came in plain clothes, heard this, he immediately touched the case and smiled: "I see, Mr. Gao has his heart... When they played the 'Song of a Hero' just now, I was a little surprised, but I was blind."

"Is this song called 'Song of a Hero'?" Cui Min, the governor of Zhuo County, was half curious and half amused. "Is there any allusion to it?"

"Yes." Gongsun Xun lowered his head and smiled. "And this song actually originated from Qingzhou. It is just across the river from Qinghe, Cui Gong's hometown. It talks about a group of people from the Central Plains, but because of the muddy world, they were banned by the government.

, the tyrants persecuted them too much, and finally gathered people in a puddle and became bandits, killing officials and rebelling... Although they were defeated early, they had raised the banner of justice for heaven, eliminated violence, killed the rich and helped the poor, so there were many people in Qingzhou

To commemorate it, this song was passed down."

Cui Min was speechless. After a long while, he responded: "It must be because the world is not good."

"That's right." Gongsun Xun finally raised his head and glanced seriously at the people in the seat. "It's because the world is bad, not to mention good people turning into thieves. In today's world, just a few eunuchs can take charge of the government.

For decades, a Yuyang thieves have been able to call themselves emperor, what else can they not do?"

The tone of these words sounded unkind, so Gao Yan, Cui Min and others kept silent. Liu Yu also twisted his beard and waited quietly, prepared.

"General Wei is too worried."

After a pause, some people were still willing to work hard for the sake of overall harmony. The person who spoke was Wang Ze, the prefect of Daijun. Compared with the cowardly Gao Yan and the wise and self-protective Cui Min, who was this prefect who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan?

There is some confidence and toughness. "General Mengwei used his troops decisively. Hasn't the traitor who is good at calling himself the emperor already been sent to Youzhou? He has even been sent to Luoyang. It is said that the Wuhuan in western Liaoning who caused the rebellion has now also

The clan was exterminated and reorganized into households by General Wei... Youzhou has returned to peace."

"Although we have returned to peace, the house is still smelly and can't be called clean!" Gongsun Xun raised his head and responded, but he had no intention of continuing. "I heard that when I was suppressing the rebellion outside the Great Wall, someone actually acted without permission.
To be continued...
