Surprisingly, Hedong is much more stable than Pingyang.
Perhaps this is related to the fact that they did not face too strong military pressure.
The most important task of the counties in Hedong at present is to send personnel to deliver grain and grass to the front lines of Zhiguan and Lianchi.
Zhiguan is close and it is safer behind the pass, so this job is not that difficult.
Zhichi was much more dangerous. Therefore, they only sent supplies and equipment to Shaanxi County, leaving Wang Mi to figure out the rest. Anyway, he has been dividing the houses and equalizing the land in the past few years, and also reclaimed some wasteland and distributed it to the refugees.
, we have a large population in our hands, no less than 50,000, so there is no problem in recruiting some strong men and women to be transported.
It was already evening when Qiao Yu arrived at Anyi County, the capital of Hedong County.
The countryside in early September was extremely quiet, even a little too quiet.
Qiao Yu came to the Wei family's old house in Anyi and looked around.
This is a depressed family.
A few years ago, it might have been a wealthy family and a famous wealthy family in the North, but the bloody storm more than twenty years ago caused this family to suffer heavy losses - just like the Pei family at that time.
But the Wei family was not as lucky as the Pei family.
Mr. Pei relied on women to make a comeback.
Shao Ze was obsessed with his mistress and took great care of the Pei family, attracting many of the Pei family's children to run away to work for him. Even Pei Kang, one of the elders in the clan, became the third prince of the Liang Kingdom.
Wei made a mistake.
I heard that Wei Jie had contact with Shao Xun because of his wife Le's relationship. But in the end, he took his mother south to the Jiangxia fiefdom to take care of her old age. She died within a few years - it was so easy for northerners to go to the south.
He fell ill and died suddenly.
Wei Xun, Wei Jie's brother, stayed in the north. He first served as a minister of Sanqi. Later, he was dissatisfied with Wang Yan's monopoly on power and the rise of low-status people like Shao Xun. In addition, Luoyang could not pay salaries and life was difficult, so he resigned and returned.
Hometown Anyi.
Liu Cong heard about it and wanted him to serve as an official. Wei Xun also looked down on the Huns and thought it was a shame for a family like the Wei family in Anyi to work for the Huns. It would be better to serve as an official for Shao Xun, so he refused.
Liu Cong was furious and killed him.
Of course, this can only be done. Wei Hong can die, but the Wei family cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, the Pei family, the Xue family, the Liu family and the big and small wealthy people who rely on them will feel threatened.
It would be fine if there were no external enemies, but there are Shao thieves. At this time, we must not mess up our position. The crime stops at Wei Hong and nothing else is involved.
The Wei family also took a step back and sent several of their children to serve as officials.
To be honest, these Wei family members really have no talents.
When Jia Nanfeng was in chaos, the outstanding descendants of the Wei family were wiped out, leaving only Wei Jie and Wei Hong, who were somewhat famous. After their deaths, the Wei family in Hedong obviously had a talent gap.
Qiao Yu looked down upon the children who were promoted to be officials, let alone those who wanted to be officials in Luoyang or Bianliang, where the competition among scholars was more intense.
This family is considered finished, and now it can only be used as a source of money and food for the Han Dynasty.
After Qiao Yu looked at it for a while, he saw that Wei's tribe was already poking around the wall, so he asked his entourage to come forward and call the door.
After a while, someone introduced him.
About half an hour later, at the fence in the backyard of Wei's Manor, a man came out of the dog hole and ran wildly. He first went to a gardener's vegetable field not far away, picked up the horse, climbed up, and arrived at An in the middle of the night.
Yi, a Wei family manor at the junction of Wenxi.
After checking your identity, you hurried inside.
"Rat slave, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Wei Zhan, who was waiting for guests in the garden, stood up and asked.
"Brother, Qiao Yu came to supervise the food and grass management. He is strong and has the order of the prefect," the rat slave replied.
"Is he the only one here?" Wei Zhan frowned and asked.
"There are still more than ten followers. The prince's envoy will come tomorrow. Qiao Yu came one night in advance to let the mansion prepare a little. Tomorrow morning, he will transfer 100,000 dendrobium grains and 200,000 bundles of hay to Pingyang."
"Is it so urgent?" Wei Zhan thought thoughtfully.
After saying that, he waved his clan brother to leave and said, "I'll see you later."
The rat slave obeyed and retreated.
The guests sat aside and watched calmly.
The Wei family in Hedong was known as a prominent family.
During the Cao and Wei Dynasties, Wei Xiang was highly regarded. Since then, this branch has become the main line.
But he wasn't very famous at that time.
The son of Wei Guan, Wei Guan, was very capable and made the family famous and developed further. All his children married into the right family.
The eldest son marries a daughter from Yangxia He Shao.
The second son Wei Heng married Wang Hunnu of Taiyuan.
The third son, Wei Yue, married Pei Kai'er from Hedong.
The fourth son is Princess Wei Xuan Shang Fanchang.
…
Wei Guan's daughter almost became Empress Hui. If Jia Chong hadn't secretly manipulated her, Jia Nanfeng would have had nothing to do with her.
After Wei Guan, his grandson Wei Hong was killed by Liu Cong, and Wei Jie died in Jiangnan. This branch was completely in decline.
Wei Zhan is the grandson of Wei Lie, the former Pengcheng guard, and the son of Wei Shao of Guangping order. Judging from the seniority, he should be the nephew of Wei Guan, the same generation as Wei Heng, and the uncle of Wei Hong and Wei Jie.
.
Wei Zhan had a sister, Wei Shuo, the famous Mrs. Wei, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy teacher, who married Li Ju of Jiangxia - not Li Ju of Pingyang. His family background was not qualified to marry a daughter of the Wei family.
I didn't expect that such a big and famous family would gradually decline after it became empty.
"Daoshu, one of the Wei family's sons is in Jiangxia, one is in Jianye, and one is in Hedong. They are scattered all over the country. There is no fear of overthrow of the clan. Since you have returned to the north, you must be determined to revive the family." The guest said.
He stroked his beard and said: "On this occasion, you should rise up and give it a try, lest you lose everyone."
Wei Zhan sat down, looked at the visitor, and said, "Jing Si (Pei Xian) returned from Youzhou. He must have recognized Mr. Liang?"
Pei Xian was asked this question and was speechless for a moment.
Wei Zhan was amused by his appearance and said, "Jing Si is really not a lobbyist."
Pei Xian was shocked when he heard this.
Not only is he not good enough to be a lobbyist, he is not good enough to be a general. He is even regarded as a broom star...
The more you surrender to Sima Yue, the more you will be defeated.
Hua Yi went to Jiangzhou and died.
Then he attached himself to Wang Jun of Youzhou, and Jun died again - Wang Jun's ex-wife Wei Xiu was Wei Guan's niece and Wei Zhan's clan sister.
If only Liang Gong dared to use him, Taibai Xingjing's luck would be astonishing!
"That's all." Wei Zhan smiled and shook his head and said, "Qiao Yu was originally in Xiurong, but he returned from Taiyuan to supervise the grain and grass. It seems that Liang Gong is not far away from sending troops."
"Didn't we already send troops?" Pei Xian asked: "Hou Feihu captured Changzi County and beheaded more than 3,000 people."
"This is to clear the door, not to send out large troops." Wei Zhan patiently explained to Pei Xian: "If Hou Feihu crosses Wuling Road and directly attacks Pingyang, it may be okay."
So that’s what happened! Pei Xian really doesn’t understand these things.
"Jing Si——" Even though there were no outsiders, Wei Zhan still lowered his voice subconsciously and said: "What does Mr. Liang think of Mrs. Pei?"
Hearing this, Pei Xian snorted coldly and said, "I don't even have any shame!"
Wei Zhan looked at him helplessly.
Pei Xian took a deep breath and said: "My sister has been educated and educated since she was a child. She is gentle and beautiful. Seeing that Shao Xun was pitiful, she took care of her more. But what Shao Xun was thinking about was the following..."
"That's enough!" Wei Zhan wanted to get up and beat this guy, but he held back and asked: "I heard that Mrs. Pei gave birth to three sons for Mr. Liang. The previous time Mr. Pei passed away, Mr. Liang took time out of all the opportunities to accompany him.
Mrs. Pei is out
Relax and soothe the pain. I have never seen a king and duke doting on a woman so much. Jing Si, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Someone in the Pei family understands. Today you can tell me the inside story of Bianliang, and I will
Think it over."
"Does this still need to be considered?" Pei Xian said in surprise.
If he were Liu Cong, he would have abandoned the army and ran to Chang'an long ago. What else are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to defeat? Are you thinking about how to lose honorably?
"Wei can't stand the trouble anymore." Wei Zhan told him the truth: "If the benefits are not big enough, I would rather not move."
Pei Xian was not a fool after all. After thinking for a long time, he said coyly: "Mr. Liang really likes my sister..."
After listening to Pei Xian's words, Wei Zhan generally understood it, which was pretty much what he expected.
If you don’t like it, how can you have three children? How is that possible!
And there are three sons, so that’s why.
Wei Zhan suddenly stood up and looked at the bright moon outside, thinking for a long time.
"Daoshu, I brought you the words." Pei Xian said: "Liu Cong doesn't trust the Pei family much anymore. In the battle of Xia Shibao, there were many children of the Pei family. Anyway, Wang Mi sued Pingyang, which was a bit tricky.
.There is someone in the clan
I was worried that Liu Cong was crazy and wanted to take action against Pei, so he wanted to plan something big. Xue and Liu were always in the same spirit and would attack together. We all moved, but Wei didn't. Regardless of victory or defeat, there was no
It’s beneficial.”
Although Pei Xian is not very capable, there is nothing wrong with his words.
Assuming that the three families of Pei, Xue, and Liu launched a rebellion and were eventually successfully suppressed by Liu Cong, would the Wei family really not be suspected at all? Not necessarily. Maybe Liu Cong would take the opportunity to deal with it, so that they would never have the ability to cause trouble again.
If the three families successfully rebelled and Liang Gong's army invaded Pingyang at the same time, the Wei family would be even more embarrassed.
Pei Xian is now the censor of the Liang Kingdom. He not only represents the Pei family, but also represents Liang Gong.
I asked you to do something right, but you resisted. If it hadn't happened, it would have been easy to talk about it, but now that I have definitely come to my door and made no further remarks, I will definitely be punished in the future, and it is justifiable.
"Jing Si, what do you want Mr. Liang to do for me?" Wei Zhan sat back again and asked aloud.
"It's very simple, just come here." Pei Xian waved and said.
Wei Zhan shook his head and laughed, leaning his ear closer.
After a moment, he pondered: "This is not difficult. But the timing needs to be grasped. If we take action, Liang Gong is still hesitating in Luliang Mountain, it will not be beautiful."
"Just wait for the news." Pei Xian said.
Chapter completed!
