Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Xie Zhiyun was a little startled, this time she didn't care about Wei Ji, she just broke free from his arms, and said in surprise, "Wucao and Daqi?"

North Vietnam and Daqi came quickly and did not deal with each other, and fought in many places on the border all the year round, among which Tongchuan was the place where the most frequent wars occurred.

At that time, Wei Cang led the Wei Family Army to fight Da Qi in Tongchuan, and completely rescued Tongchuan from the doom of being invaded by Da Qi. After that, Tongchuan became the state capital under the jurisdiction of Wei Cang, and was no longer ordered by Beiyue and Da Qi. .

After years of fighting, the vegetation in Tongchuan was withered and the population was sparse. Even if there were garrisons stationed here, there would be no food supply. Therefore, after discussing with Wei Ji, Wei Cang set up a garrison town in Tongchuan.

City defenders are generally divided into two types, one is felony, heinous, or captured by the enemy. They will be locked up in the army field, working day and night, and cultivating the military food needed by the soldiers.

There is also a misdemeanor, or people who fled to Tongchuan with their families, can also commit crimes and make meritorious service in Tongchuan. Every day of hard work can be exchanged for a two-day sentence. This part is voluntary.

In fact, in Tongchuan, the second type of people is the most.

Many people here, especially ordinary people who only committed minor crimes, will stay in Tongchuan after working in Tongchuan for several months or years, multiply and live there, and become locals of Tongchuan.

There are not many defenders in Tongchuan now.

The people are all working spontaneously to protect their homes.

Because Tongchuan was in the front, there was Wei, the soldiers and the people of Tongchuan, so the respite of North Vietnam in the past few years was kept.

Wei Ji will never allow anyone to destroy the hard-won peace in any way.

But now, he knows the news.

Both of them didn't light the lamp, they sat facing each other, and they could understand each other's meaning without the need of light.

"Yes, it's Wucao and Daqi."

"There are two secret letters, both of which were hidden in the secret room. It was Liu Zhaohui who was smart. After arresting the person, he said that he would search again, take away all the weapons and food that could be taken, and not let go of anything. That's why we searched. Got there."

Obviously very nervous now, and the atmosphere is a little tense, but Xie Zhiyun still smiled softly in order to appease Wei Ji.

"Vice General Liu is very frugal, it's a good habit."

Wei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, he calmed down again, his big hand crawled on the brocade quilt, and finally touched Xie Zhijun's hand.

He held her hand in the palm of his hand, as if holding a rare treasure.

"These two letters are quite old. The first letter seems to be from three or four years ago. It said that it sent a lot of criminals and bandits to the Wucao Department, and also gave them a place to store food. Let them Send someone to fetch it."

Xie Zhiyun hummed, and Wei Ji continued: "The other letter was from last year, saying that the Wucao Department was not satisfactory recently, so the food for that month was gone."

As soon as these two letters were discovered, all of Wei Ji's previous guesses were correct.

"A mob like the Wucao tribe, from the average person's point of view, they just want to eat and drink, get something for nothing, and bully the weak, right?" Wei Ji said, "But the Wucao tribe is different. They only want to fight against Yezhou. When you go down Taiji Mountain, you will only rob merchants in Yezhou and other places, and the people who are harassing are the people under the government of our Duke Su, which seems a bit weird."

"Actually, our family and the Wucao tribe have old hatreds."

When Wei Ningshu was mentioned about this matter before, Wei Ji once said something about it, but he didn't explain it clearly at that time.

Wei Ji held her hand and said: "In the early years, there was Wucao Junzhen at the junction of Beiliang and Daqi. You should know that."

Xie Zhiyun has a good memory, and he will never forget the books he has read, so he said at this moment: "I know, the civil strife in Beiliang later, the royal court was taken away, and the current royal family, the branch royal family in the early years succeeded in taking the court and became the king of Beiliang. "

The current king of Beiliang, Tuobaye, is the eldest son of the old king of Beiliang who seized the court.

Because of the turmoil in Beiliang and the raging flames of war, the Wucao tribe affiliated to Daqi was also affected. Qi was the first to give up Wucao.

Under such circumstances, the Wucao tribe suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they were unable to sustain themselves and went all the way south, entering Taiji Mountain and becoming rogues.

"There is an allusion to this."

Wei Ji lowered his eyes and said: "It can't be called an allusion, it's just a small encounter with my father. At that time, my father was still in Tongchuan. In order to prevent the war between Beiliang and Daqi from spreading to Beiyue, he has been working hard to support it. , It was at this time that the Wucao tribe who came here met my father at the intersection of Taiji Mountain and Tongchuan."

The reputation of the Wucao tribe is not good, they burn, kill and loot, they do all kinds of evil, but in that situation back then, Wei Cang couldn't swallow [-] enemies in one go.

Tongchuan is about to fall, North Vietnam is in turmoil, and the royal family is fighting against each other. Everyone wants to be emperor.

No one wants to protect the people, and no one has the ability to protect the people.

But Weiss can.

For this piece of mountains and rivers, the Wei family gave almost the whole family's strength, and the Chen family did the same.

"Uncle Chen was still there at that time. After my father met the Wucao tribe, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he wrote to discuss with Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen's strategy was to slow down before killing."

It would be fine if the Wucao tribe was a good army, but the soldiers under their command were used to bullying the people, burning, killing, and looting. They were soldiers not to defend their homes and the country, but to bully the weak and kill people freely.

This kind of thing cannot be kept.

"Uncle Chen's temper is much more easy-going than father's, but he also knows this truth very well, so he only said to postpone, not to let go."

"So, at that time, my father politely reached a deal with Yu Wencheng, the leader of the Wucao tribe. Wei Cang let the Wucao tribe enter Taiji Mountain, but they can only live in Taiji Mountain. Once they leave the mountain, they will be killed."

Xie Zhijun sighed: "They must have broken their promise."

Wei Ji's expression was cold: "Yes, they are all a bunch of beasts."

This was the first time Xie Zhiyun heard Wei Ji scolding someone, but he felt that he scolded people rightly and well.

"Two years later, Yu Wencheng led a thousand elite soldiers out of the mountain privately, burned, killed, looted and bullied the people in Hehua Town at the foot of the mountain. When my father got the news, he took me there to suppress the bandits in person, and killed all Wucao people including Yu Wencheng. All beheaded."

"But so what, the dead can't come back, and the wounds left scars."

"Probably because of my father's treachery and uncle Chen's villainy, the Wucao tribe hated Yezhou and us."

"Four years ago, they took advantage of Daqi to invade, and my father and I sent troops to resist the foreign invasion. They just entered Yezhou openly and slaughtered the people."

New hatred and old hatred, how can it be done?
