Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 950 Comfort

  About a month ago, he fought all the way to Shanggu County. Li Junshou of Shanggu County personally led all the officials and generals in the county to greet him and Zhao Kuan at the gate of the city.

  After Zhao Kuan received the surrender letter from Shanggu County, he inserted the "Zhao" flag on the tower.

  Things went so smoothly, Tuoba Yilu was very puzzled why Zhao Hanzhang asked him to come to Shanggu County, and then the Xianbei army of the Duan family came under pressure.

  They passed Beiping County quickly, and the army was standing at the junction of Beiping County and Shanggu County, and there was a tendency to rush down.

  Zhao Kuan and Li Junshou immediately asked Tuoba Yilu to suppress Duan's Xianbei and stop the enemy outside Shanggu County.

  Tuoba Yilu was now sure that Zhao Hanzhang’s purpose was not to let him accept Shanggu County, but to guard Shanggu County to prevent Duan’s Xianbei from going south, disrupting her plan to occupy Youzhou and destroy the Xiongnu.

At that moment, Tuoba Yilu's heart was burning like fire. For the long-term interests of the Tuoba tribe, he should not stop Duan's Xianbei. Once Zhao Hanzhang unified the north, he would be useless, and the Tuoba tribe would lose the nutrition for development. Only when Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou continue to be in chaos and are still in a state of fragmentation before, can the Tuoba tribe take advantage of the situation and develop.

   Leaving aside, Liu Kun’s annual employment of the Tuoba Department is enough for them to have enough food and clothing for more than half a year. If they raise sheep and horses, they will have no worries for a year.

  But he was roasted on the fire by Zhao Kuan and Li Junshou, and with the promise he made to Zhao Hanzhang before departure, he couldn't lift his feet;

   racked his brains and thought of a way, privately destroyed a batch of grain and grass, and when he left on the pretext that the grain and grass were not enough, Li Junshou had someone bring ten carts of grain and grass;

   Tuoba Yilu also excused the lack of troops, so Zhao Kuan said that he would write a letter to Zhao Hanzhang, asking Zu Ti and Zhao Ju who were nearby to come to help.

  He didn’t forcefully leave because he heard that Zu Ti and Zhao Ju were nearby. He could only stay silently. Sure enough, not long after, Zu Ti arrived, and the three armies faced each other across the river.

  Tuoba Yilu didn't want to fight, but just wanted to leave, so he didn't move; Duan's Xianbei and Zu Ti didn't know why, so they didn't move. Everyone just stayed here and consumed food and grass in silence.

  Until the arrival of Shi Le not long ago, he brought the news that Zhao Hanzhang had won a great victory and the Huns had been destroyed.

  Tuoba Yilu was not happy at that moment, only shocked and slightly chilled.

  The Huns were so powerful that they were defeated by Zhao Hanzhang. Will Youzhou and Bingzhou really have a place for their Tuoba tribe in the future?

   But there is still a glimmer of hope amidst these worries—Liu Kun, he and Liu Kun have a good relationship, and relying on Liu Kun in the future, the life of the Tuoba Department should not be very difficult, but he did not expect that Zhao Hanzhang would transfer Liu Kun away.

  Oh, he always knew, but Liu Kun kept refusing, why did he suddenly agree?

  Bei Gongchun, Bei Gongchun, that is a powerful general that neither Shi Le nor Wang Mi can beat, and he is evenly matched against Shi Le. In other words, he will lose to Bei Gongchun.

  Although it can’t be counted like this in war, after all, there are many factors on the battlefield, but he just can’t help it, and doesn’t think he can suppress Bei Gongjun.

  At this moment, Tuoba Yilu missed Liu Kun very much.

   As for whether Zhao Hanzhang knew about his plan, it depends on how Zhao Kuan saw it and reported it.

  Tuoba Yi and Lu Yilin threw the sword to the guard, and smiled with Tuoba Yulu.

  Zhao Kuan stood in the autumn wind with his arms folded. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "General Tuoba, the envoy is already waiting, please."

  Tuoba Yilu responded with a smile, and went to see Zhao Hanzhang with Zhao Kuan.

  Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan went directly to Zu Ti's army, and then notified Shi Le and Tuoba Yilu to come to see her.

The distance between the two armies was more than 20 miles, not close, but not far. Tuoba Yilu and Zhao Kuan rode horses and quickly led people to Zuti's camp. Shi Le also arrived. They met at the gate of the camp. They looked at each other competitively.

   Zhao Hanzhang came here for peace talks with Duan Xianbei, and he called the three to ask about the strength of Duan Xianbei's troops and the results of the conflicts that occurred during this period.

   Knowing that they mostly greeted each other's ancestors and pushed and shoved each other, Zhao Hanzhang was silent for a while without any casualties.

   Then I have more confidence in the peace talks.

  Zhao Hanzhang immediately asked Zhao Kuan to draft a letter of credence and sent someone to send it to Duan.

  She smiled at Tuoba Yilu and said, "I brought good wine, brother stayed here, and we will have a good night's drink."

   After finishing speaking, let Zuti entertain Tuoba Yilu on her behalf, while she left Shi Le to talk.

  Tuoba Yilu couldn't help but glanced at the smiling Zhao Hanzhang before leaving, feeling uneasy.

  Zhao Hanzhang did not stay in the big tent, but went out with Shi Le to enjoy the wind. The two rode directly to the river, and looked at Duan's camp on the other side of the river.

  She nodded her chin at the other side of the river, and said: "Don't look at the coldness of Beiping County, it has open plains and large pieces of land, which are very suitable for growing wheat and beans. If the management is good, it can support many people."

  Shi Le looked at the other side with piercing eyes, and asked: "But Beiping County is now occupied by Duan's Xianbei. Is the envoy going to send troops to Duan's?"

  Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "Don't look at our three-way army gathered here, but the strength is insufficient. You have 10,000 troops, Zu Ti has 20,000 troops, and the Tuoba tribe has the most troops, but there are only 30,000 troops."

   "If you really want to fight, the Duan family on the opposite side can draw nearly 100,000 troops. Besides, Tuoba Yilu may not do his best, and then he will be burned by the fire." Zhao Hanzhang sneered, shaking his head and said: "Not right, not right."

   But these are all excuses in Shi Le’s view, the real problem is, “The envoy can’t get enough food.”

  Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "Shilong really sees it, yes, I don't have enough food and grass to fight another war, and the people in Youzhou have reached their limit, so we can only take a step back at this time and wait until the future..."

  Shi Le's eyes were piercing, and he continued in a low voice: "In the future, I will take back Liaoxi County as well."

Liaoxi County also belongs to Youzhou, but it was given to the Duan family by Wang Jun. He also asked for the title of Duke of Liaoxi for Duan Wumuchen and the court. Like Liu Kun, they made a temporary compromise. They took advantage of it. Trouble But it was thrown to Zhao Hanzhang.

  Oh, now there is one more Shi Le who takes the trouble with her.

   Zhao Hanzhang's wounded heart was soothed a little, and he was about to encourage Shi Le, when he heard him ask quietly: "What about Daijun, Shijun, Daijun also belongs to Youzhou."

  Zhao Hanzhang:…

  She retracted the thought just now, and she felt that another arrow had been stabbed into her hurt heart.

  Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a while and said: "Daijun will be changed to Daiguo, and it will be the fiefdom of Tuoba Yilu for the time being."

  Shi Le raised his eyebrows, temporarily?

   Does this mean that she will take it back in the future?

  Of course Zhao Hanzhang would not say that she would take back the fief. She only said to Shi Le: "I promised Tuoba Yilu that I will not go back on my word. General Shi, under my rule, I will not allow you to attack each other in private."

  The real owner of this large piece of land is her. Shi Le is just the governor of Youzhou, and Tuoba Yilu is just the lord of Daiguo City. She only has the right to manage, but not the right to own it.

  If there is no change, where will the common people have a stable space to develop agriculture?

  Shi Le felt Zhao Hanzhang's threat, pursed his lips and responded, saying that he would obey orders.

   Zhao Hanzhang regained his power and smiled with him: "General Shi, you have the imperial court as your backer. I hope we will work together to build Youzhou well in the future."

See you tomorrow
