She Song

Chapter 222 The Xi clan did this job!
"Inducing Zong Wang to choose Jingzhou?" Sima Hengru first repeated Han Xiaoyao's suggestion, and then asked: "What can be used as an inducement?"

Han Xiaoyao clarified his thoughts and said calmly: "You can think about it, what is the reason why he has to come to Jingzhou? For example, a certain person, or some sense of mission, prompted the Jurchens to let Yanjing go and choose Jingzhou."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone present finally focused their attention on Han Xiaoyao again. It seemed that he was the answer, but the decision just now was to stay in Pingzhou. Do you want to change your mind?

"Don't look at me, there is someone who is more suitable as this bait!" Han Xiaoyao knew that everyone had misunderstood, so he said: "However, it may take a little time. You should first discuss the details of the cooperation between the various troops and make a few more plans. Xiao Minister, come with me."

Everyone was puzzled as they watched Xiao Yunhe follow Han Xiaoyao out of the war room, but they still discussed the various deployments and cooperation enthusiastically.

……

A group of fast horses rushed out of Yanjing like an arrow from the string and galloped towards Tanzhou.

Road construction team, stone-breaking site.

Several captives of the Xi people were lying on the ground with bruises and swollen faces, while dozens of horse thieves who were watching were provoking and taunting with playful smiles.

"Brother, look at how cowardly they are, and they are making fun of elite people. They are not even worthy of carrying my brother's shoes!"

A tall, round-waisted bald man looked up to the sky and laughed, patted his chest, and shouted at Xiao Qian, who was still smashing stones: "Xiao Qian, aren't you the Xiren Emperor? Come on, challenge me if you can!"

"Oh~ Come on, come on~ Emperor Xiren is such a coward, a loser!" The horse thieves booed one after another.

But Xiao Qian didn't seem to hear or see it at all, and he still hit the rocks with his hammer.

A Xi man who was lying down couldn't bear the humiliation. He struggled to stand up and staggered towards the bald head, but was immediately slapped down by the opponent.

The jailer guarding the reform-through-labor prisoners asked the team leader: "I heard that Xiao Qian and Minister Xiao are relatives, will nothing happen?"

The team leader said mysteriously: "If you are measured, no one will be killed."

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves coming from far away and the appearance of senior uniformed personnel silenced the stone-breaking field.

The squad leader immediately stepped forward and raised his hand in salute: "Hello, sir! I am the humble supervisor of the stone crushing field of the third road construction team. Please give me instructions!"

The senior general returned the gift and said: "The Internal Security Department, Xiao Yunhe, has been ordered to recruit Xiao Qian, a prisoner in your labor camp. Please cooperate!"

Minister of Internal Security!

There was a sudden exclamation in the stone-breaking field. At the same time, everyone looked at Xiao Qian. To avoid accidents, the jailer ordered everyone else to squat down.

Only Xiao Qian continued to smash stones according to the established rhythm.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" was extremely loud.

Xiao Yunhe's attendant handed the recruitment order to the squad leader. The squad leader confirmed that the signature and seal were correct and could only sign and release the person.

Xiao Yunhe then entered the venue, came to Xiao Qian, bowed and saluted: "The King of Zhenbei has urgent military affairs to recruit the sixth uncle!"

Xiao Qian asked in a low voice without thinking, "Are the Jurchens calling?"

Xiao Yunhe hesitated for a moment, and Xiao Qian smiled: "That's it. He is not known to be unparalleled in wisdom and bravery, and he is also very capable of fighting the national army. How could he think of recruiting me, a prisoner through labor?"

When Xiao Yunhe saw that the other party had guessed the reason, he said: "King Zhenbei wants Uncle Liu and his clan members to be used as bait to annihilate Wanyan Zongwang!"

Xiao Qian suddenly raised his head: "Wanyan Zongwang is here?!"

"Yes! There are also Xi Yin and Wu Shu, more than [-] Zhen Jurchen, who will arrive in Pingzhou in three days. The king of Zhenbei specially explained that the sixth uncle has the right to refuse the recruitment."

"Reject?" Xiao Qian stopped the hammer, tasted the product, and suddenly asked: "What conditions did he offer?"

Xiao Yunhe said slowly: "Under the management committee of Yanyun, in addition to military diplomacy, judicial education and taxation, Xiren is allowed to choose a place for self-government and enjoy national treatment."

Although he didn't understand the true meaning of "national treatment", Xiao Qian could guess the general meaning.After thinking for a while, he asked: "Just because you are here, does that mean you agree with this plan?"

Xiao Yunhe nodded and said sincerely: "Whether the Xi clan can survive depends on this! Uncle Liu can discuss the specific situation with King Zhenbei in detail."

Xiao Qian nodded, although the "bait" must be the most risky in the battle, but the promise Han Xiaoyao gave is also very tempting.

"Okay, I'll go see him." Xiao Qian stood up holding the hammer and chisel, and walked to the outside of the arena.

When passing by the bald horse thief, he suddenly threw out the iron chisel, and then swung his hammer to hit the opponent's huge bald head.

Hearing Xiao Yunhe call Xiao Qian Liushu, the bald horse thief already knew that he would kick the iron plate today. He was so nervous when he saw Xiao Qian take action that he closed his eyes in fear.

But the expected pain did not come. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see the hammer Xiao Qian was holding tightly against his scalp, and the iron chisel stuck in the gap between his feet.

Damn it, this strength and eyesight are so accurate!

Is Xiao Qian's skill actually so powerful?

Xiao Qian patted the bald man on the shoulder and put the hammer into the opponent's hand: "You are still a little bit behind fighting as a soldier. Smash the rocks and seriously transform yourself!"

In the reception room, Han Xiaoyao, Xiao Qian, Sima Hengru, Xiao Yunhe.

Xiao Qian promised to lead the Xi army to capture prisoners and lure Wanyan Zongwang to Jingzhou City, but he was not confident that the Zhenguo army could annihilate the Jurchens, and at the same time he bargained for the Xi people's autonomy.

"We Xi people are the key to this battle, but we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Autonomy alone is not enough, we must change it to a vassal town. Military and political laws are determined by the Xi people. As for taxes, we can change them to annual tribute, even if it is a little more, it doesn't matter!"

"King Xiao still wants to establish himself as emperor?" Sima Hengru asked immediately.

"Xiao swears to God that I never meant this! It's just that the Xi people have their own customs and sentiments, and it may be difficult to accept the control of Han law. And after all, defense cannot be left to others, otherwise the Xi people will become the ones on the chopping board. Fish meat?”

Han Xiaoyao said with a smile: "King Xiao, you have to understand that the role of the bait is not the key. We can defeat the Jurchens without ridiculing others. Of course, we will pay a high price. Therefore, if you think it is inappropriate, you can completely refuse it." requisition!

However, I can also understand that the Xi people have their own customs and cultural traditions. So, you can form a militia to maintain order, and you can formulate local regulations in the autonomous region, as long as they do not conflict with the regulations of the Yanyun Management Committee! "

Xiao Qian realized that although Han Xiaoyao did not give in, he had given him a certain degree of flexibility in disguise, so that he could explain something to his clan members.

To be honest, Xiao Qian and Xi Ren are currently unable to compete with the powerful strength of the Zhenguo Army, so he has no intention of establishing an independent country and becoming an emperor.

But the side of Jianke Mountain will definitely not be able to withstand this winter. The Jurchens attacked Yandi, and Han Xiaoyao decided to eat the Zongwang tribe, giving Xi Ren a comparable step.

This autonomy was achieved by Xi Ren with his own life, so there is no shame in it!

Xiao Qian knew that he could no longer argue with this matter, so he nodded to express his acceptance, and then asked: "Can Xi Jun atone for his sins this time and be exempted from hard labor?"

If Sima Hengru sees that the other party agrees, then both sides can get along well. Xi Jun's risk-taking to seduce the Jurchens is indeed meritorious.

But Han Xiaoyao shook his head and gave another answer: "Gong is merit, fault is fault. The Yanyun Management Committee will not make atonement for merit. After this battle, you will have three results. All of them will be killed. You will continue to work." When the term expires, continue to recruit and cooperate with the Yanyun Army to fight!"

After annihilating Yan Zongwang, do you still want to continue fighting?

Xiao Qian and Xiao Yunhe looked at each other strangely and asked almost simultaneously: "Who are you fighting with?"

Han Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Since the Jurchens started the war, it is reasonable for our Zhenguo army to fight back. What's more, the Xi people's autonomy must have territory, right? What does King Xiao think of Jinzhou?"

Xiao Qian felt his blood boiling.

How dare you, Han Xiaoyao, to attack Jinzhou, an important town in the Jin Kingdom!

However, this is more interesting. As long as the recruitment does not end, he and Xi Jun can continue to fight. Isn't it what he desires?
"We, the Xi clan, have accomplished this task!"
