The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 223 The Han people’s self-rescue

Tuoba Sixth Cultivator successfully killed Tuoba Yilu, which was a surprise to almost all forces except Diao Ying.

After Diao Ying saw Tuoba Yilu's death with his own eyes, he immediately told Tuoba Liuxiu that he would go to Shi Le to borrow troops to help Tuoba Liuxiu secure his position as Tuoba Khan.

Tuoba Liuxiu knew very well that he needed external help, so he had no doubts about Diao Ying's departure.

After all, Tuoba Sixth Cultivator still had two opponents at this time. One was Tuoba Biyan, who was in charge of the center of the Tuoba tribe, and Tuoba Pu Sugen, who was leading the troops outside.

He needed strength to help him control the Tuoba tribe, so he immediately let him go. Tuoba Yilu even gave him some native gold as a reward, hoping that Diao Ying could put in a good word.

But Diao Ying knew that for Shi Le, it didn't matter whether he conquered Xianbei or not, but not Xianbei was important.

Because it would be best if he could be conquered, but if he could not be conquered, at least Liu Kun would have no one to protect him, and then Shi Le would be able to defeat Liu Kun and annex the state in the next step.

When the time came for Shi Le to face Liu Tai, Shi Le said that he dared to try it.

Of course, Diao Ying walked easily and freely, patting his butt without leaving a trace of cloud, but for various large and small forces within the Xiongnu, Tuoba Liuxiu's sudden behavior directly broke their daily life. Fell into chaos.

They had no idea what was going on, but Tuoba Yilu's death let them know that the Tuoba tribe was afraid of chaos.

Naturally, the Han people were the first to react. After Ji Dan learned about Tuoba Yilu's death, he immediately approached Wei Xiong and said:

"Nowadays, the Xianbei tribe is experiencing civil strife, and military disasters are bound to happen. If we stay here, Tuoba Liuxiu has always disliked us Han people, and there will definitely be disasters. General, can you be willing to follow us and escape for your life?"

"Time is urgent. If you have any ideas, please tell me!" Wei Xiong couldn't help but ask after hearing Ji Dan's words.

"Then it depends on whether the general wants to surrender to the Jin or the Han!" Ji Dan couldn't help but say.

"You mean Liu Kun and Liu Tai?!" Wei Xiong couldn't help but be startled when he heard Ji Dan's words. He was a little unresponsive for a moment, but Wei Xiong calmed down and continued, "Can you please elaborate on the two of them?"

Jidan nodded and said, "Liu Bingzhou is a famous person today, and his son Liu Zun is even in Xianbei as a hostage. If we rescue him and then bring the Han people into Bingzhou, our status will definitely not be lower than that of his elder Li Hong.

Liu Tai controls the territory of the three states, and is also named Liu Bingzhou. He is the queen of King Jing of the Han Dynasty. He has both power and fame. Although he is a Han official, he has an imperial foundation. Who dares to predict his future? Even if we surrender to him, It doesn't mean it's a disgrace to one's status.

Not to mention that he is victorious in every battle. This alone makes people feel more at ease than Liu Kun and Liu Bingzhou.

In today's great struggle, what is more important than victory! "

"If so, sir, do you mean that we surrender to Liu Tai?!" Wei Xiong couldn't help but said after hearing Ji Dan's words.

After all, the nature of human beings is to be strong. Even when playing games, drawing cards with strength is greater than drawing cards with XP. The beauty of strength is an attribute that is very difficult for humans to reject.

Liu Tai's victories along the way have supported the beauty of this intensity.

In addition to this point, it is the legitimacy of Liu Tai's identity. If many aristocratic families have more or less psychological distortions about taking refuge with the Huns and Jie people, after all, why should they succumb to foreigners when they are Han Chinese? Down.

But it was completely different when it came to Liu Tai, whose name had been confirmed by Liu Kun. When did he surrender to a foreign race? The one he surrendered to was obviously the Queen Jing of the Han Dynasty.

As for who Liu Tai seeks refuge with, that has nothing to do with me!
As the saying goes, the ministers of ministers are not my ministers, in the same way, the monarch of the monarch is not my monarch!

Compared to the Xiongnu and the Jie tribe, at least taking refuge with Liu Tai might be able to revive the Han Dynasty three times in the future!

The current situation is not that Shi Le monopolizes the north of the Yellow River. The northern Han people have to cooperate with the foreigners. They cannot survive without cooperation.

You must know that in history, Wei Xiong and Ji Dan clearly knew that Shi Le was stronger, but they still chose Liu Kun in the end.

The most important reason is that Shi Le is not a Han. When it comes to the most critical time to overcome the psychological barrier, Liu Kun's identity as the Queen of King Jing proved to Liu Tai can often make the Northern Han people the most important step in overcoming the psychological barrier.

For the current Han people in the North, at least Liu Tai is better than others!
Ji Dan looked at Wei Xiong and said seriously: "No matter who we submit to, at least if we vote together, we will be more powerful than if we vote alone, and will be taken more seriously by Liu Tai.

Especially to take refuge with Liu Tai, we need to show our ability. Otherwise, Liu Tai will occupy the land of the three states. We will not have more than us, and we will have less than us. It would be meaningless for us to join forces in the past. "

Wei Xiong heard Ji Dan's words and nodded in approval, but worried: "But we don't know Liu Tai at all, so we went to vote rashly. Does Liu Tai trust us? If Liu Tai doesn't accept us, then we are afraid I’m not going to die trapped in this land.”

"So we need to find a way to convince one person, and he is the only one who has the channel to contact Liu Tai!" Ji Dan couldn't help but say.

"Who?" Wei Xiong couldn't help but asked urgently after hearing this.

"Mo Han!" Ji Dan said without hesitation, "We need to ask him out."

"Yes, yes! He was appointed and dismissed by Tuoba Yilu to trade with Youzhou. He did not say that he could contact Liu Tai, but he had the ability to contact the governor of Youzhou after all!" Jidan couldn't help but take a deep breath, Said, "Let's invite him together!"

At this time, Mohan had already written a letter and handed it to his confidant:

"Give it to Youzhou Governor Cao Yi as quickly as possible, no, give it to Youzhou Governor Zhao An.

Let’s just say that the venue for the mutual trade between Youzhou and the Tuoba tribe was affected by the civil strife of the Tuoba tribe.
According to the agreement, you have the right to quickly access the market to maintain the stability of the market and protect the safety of people in the market! "

"No!" When the confidant heard Mo Han's words, he left immediately without any hesitation.

"Now we have to wait and see when the Youzhou military will come!" Mo Han's eyes were a little deep.

To be honest, Mohan's original master was Liu Kun, but the problem was that Tuoba Yilu had taken a fancy to him and expressed what he wanted to Liu Kun, but he clearly and righteously refused, but in the end Liu Kun came to beg him. , I hope that for the sake of the overall situation of the Jin court, I will feel a little aggrieved.

After all, it is important to maintain the relationship with Tuoba Yilu to show that the power of the Jin Dynasty has not completely disappeared in the north.

But this was an unparalleled shame for Mo Han. With the idea of ​​​​helping Jin Ting one last time, he chose to work for Tuoba Yilu, but every time he worked for Tuoba Yilu, Mo Han was always reminded of himself of humiliation.

Now that Tuoba Yilu is dead, Mo Han chooses Liu Tai without hesitation when faced with this opportunity in his life.

Mo Han knew very well that even if Liu Tai wanted to send troops to the Tuoba tribe, he would need to think carefully.

But as long as the nearby army is allowed to protect the market shared by both parties, the Youzhou army has no reason to refuse.For Mohan, it doesn't matter what Liu Tai does to the Tuoba tribe. What matters is that he can use this opportunity to successfully enter Liu Tai's camp. This is very important.

"Mr. Mo, Wei Xiong and Jidan sent messengers, saying that there has been internal strife in the Tuoba tribe recently. We are all Han people. We hope to discuss countermeasures with you!" Soon a messenger came to look for Mo Han.

Mo Han is not a general with military power. He only manages the market that trades with Youzhou.

So there is no need to be mysterious at all. If you have anything to say, tell me openly. In such a crisis situation, the most taboo thing is to play riddles.

Mo Han was slightly startled. He had no communication with Wei Xiong and Ji Dan, because he was a Jin native who came to the Tuoba tribe not long ago, but Wei Xiong and Ji Dan were the core of the Han people who were deeply rooted in Tuoba Yilu's command.

They have their own army, and they proposed that Tuoba Yilu treat the Han people well, which shows their status.

Although this is meant to strengthen their voice in the Tuoba Yilu tribe, Wei Xiong and Ji Dan still played a very important role in the sinicization of the Tuoba tribe.

Mo Han rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Please reply to the messenger. The safest place for the Tuoba tribe now is the market jointly governed by Youzhou and the Tuoba clan. I have already informed General Zhao of Youzhou to come here." To maintain law and order, reinforcements will arrive in an instant.

In addition, Duke Liu’s favorite commodity to trade is labor. If there is a sufficient population in this market, I believe that Duke Liu will never treat us badly! "

Mo Han knew very well that his only role for these two people was to connect with Youzhou.

If he left the market, he would be nothing more than a muscular northern scholar, and these two guys could do whatever they wanted to do with him.

But in this market, at least his destiny is in his own hands.

Taking control of oneself can at least maintain order in the market in a short period of time, dispatch officials in the market, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Therefore, Mo Han didn't believe anyone at the moment, but based on his experience in dealing with Liu Tai, he immediately told them what they should do to gain Liu Tai's favor and give Wei Xiong and Ji Dan a choice. .

You either believe in yourself or you don't want to mess with me. In this chaotic situation, I just want to protect myself on this three-thirds of an acre of land.

And it has to be said that after the messenger brought Mo Han's words to Wei Xiong and Ji Dan, both of them were stunned.

They didn't expect that Mo Han could see through their thoughts, and this made the two of them get to know Mo Han for the first time.

Jidan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "What a terrible young man, let's just do what he said!"

"Are we going to do what he said?!" Wei Xiong said with some fear at this moment, "This man can predict others' opportunities, but he makes people feel so insecure!"

Jidan shook his head and said, "Just like that, what he said is correct.

Now that the Tuoba tribe is in civil strife, if he really asks for help from Youzhou, the safest place is the market where he is.

Don't waste time. According to what he said, let's mobilize the people to take refuge in the market and wait for reinforcements from Youzhou.

As long as a person is in our hands, even if he has the upper hand, he may not be able to harm us.

It's just that if I take refuge with Liu Tai in the future, I'm afraid I will be inferior to him. "

"What if we take refuge in Liu Kun?!" Wei Xiong was a little unwilling to hear Ji Dan's words.

"As long as you think Liu Kun can defeat Liu Tai, no, as long as he can defeat Shi Le, I am willing to give you a try against Liu Kun!" Ji Dan answered simply and neatly after hearing Wei Xiong's words.

"Forget it, I'd better go back and recruit more people!" Wei Xiong thought for a moment, but sighed helplessly.

Jidan smiled, knowing that for the Han people in the north, with Liu Tai taking control of the three states in the north, and then Liu Kun certifying Liu Tai's name, from now on, basically the Youzhou family in the north, as long as they have a choice, can come. No one will reject Liu Tai’s camp.

At this moment, the Tuoba Sixth Cultivator caused war and division within the Tuoba tribe, which not only affected the Tuoba people themselves, but also many other foreign races that relied on the Tuoba tribe.

After all, Wei Xiong and Ji Dan were deeply entrenched here, because they planned to join Liu Tai, and in order to gain their own position in Liu Tai's power in the future, they gathered those who were wavering in their hearts and said:

"Everyone knows that Tuoba Sixth Cultivator is not as good as Tuoba Khan. He has always been afraid of us and other foreign races, and is afraid that he will kill us all. If we don't plan for ourselves early, we will be completely without seeds in the future! "

Whether they were Han people or non-common people, they couldn't help but feel panicked at this moment.

Naturally, they all asked Wei Xiong and Ji Dan: "Do you have a way to survive? We will follow these two generals life and death."

"Jungong Liu has been invincible since he joined the army. This matter is known to the world. Now Youzhou and we have many trades with each other. We can take refuge in that market first. When Youzhou sends troops, we can escape into Youzhou. Nature can solve the crisis!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but they all agreed.

In an instant, there were more than 3 Zahu, Han, Wei Xiong, and Ji Dan's trusted clan members in total. Mo Han, who managed the market, was a little shocked by this number.

But for the first time, Mo Han realized how much background Wei Xiong and Ji Dan had in the Tuoba tribe.

You must know that although the Tuoba tribe has been running freely, whether it has a population of 15 is still a big problem.

As a result, these two families were able to leverage a population of more than 3, which directly crushed all Mohan's plans.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, Mo Han couldn't refuse even if he wanted to. After all, Mo Han only managed the market, not even the army, but Wei Xiong and Ji Dan had their own private soldiers.

It can be said that when this force came over, Mo Han decisively chose to hand over the market and stopped struggling.

After all, Wei Xiong and Ji Dan knew that Mo Han needed to deal with Liu Tai, and seeing how well-behaved Mo Han was, they didn't embarrass Mo Han.

Soon, Mo Han's worries disappeared, because Ge Xin led the cavalry to the market as soon as possible.

After that, Zhao An then led a large army to slowly follow up, and Zhao An began to arrange the migration of the population, because Zhao An knew very well that Liu Tai valued the population.

And here, there are now a total of 3 people. For Liu Tai, this is probably more credit than the expansion of the land.
