Shu Chen

Chapter 507
"My lord, it's time to eat."

Ignoring the already tense atmosphere, a short-clothed man walked in with small steps, put a short flat food table in his hand on Zheng Pu's table, and urged, "Don't delay, sir, the medicine is already here. Fry it, if you use it late, it will delay the time to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor."

He is an old servant of Zheng's family, and he has taken care of daily life since Zheng Pu was young.

It was Zhang Yan who lived in the Lu Family Courtyard in Ji County, Longyou. After learning that Zheng Pu had moved to the valley to recuperate his illness, he was worried that the subordinates in the army would be rude, so he specially sent him here to take care of his daily life.In his heart, he naturally put Zheng Pu's rest in the first place, but he didn't care whether he interrupted the way of hospitality or other things.

Inevitably, his behavior also eased the dignity here.

Seeing this, Gao Kai, who had grown old for a long time, hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, got up and said something, and the Qiang leader Dian Mi stepped back a few steps, and said, "Don't dare to delay the general's meal, I will avoid the table first." treat."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu also pointed his eyes at the begging house to put the sharp knife back into its sheath, got up and stretched out his hand to point to the smoke, "It's hard to entertain guests in a remote place in the valley. I've already ordered people to prepare food, both of you." And move around for your own use, don’t think it’s too simple.”

"Don't dare."

Gao Kai quickly thanked him modestly, "Thank you, General, for the meal."

After saying that, he escaped under the guidance of Zheng Pu's retinue.

The food is as simple as what Zheng Pu said, steamed wheat rice, a small portion of salted leeks and Chinese cabbage, and a wooden spoon of minced meat per person is all.

But they can't hold anything back.

It was the same with the court food presented to Zheng Pu by the short-clothed head and the food of the followers here.

This discovery made Gao Kai and Dian fans faintly realize.

Zheng Pu did not prepare a banquet for the guests, which also meant that he had no intention of discussing it again.

There is no room for discussion on how the Han army resettled the adherents of the Northland.They could either choose one of the conditions that Zheng Pu had mentioned earlier, or go back and wait for the Han army to attack in the future.

Therefore, both of them took a few mouthfuls hastily and claimed that it was enough to feed their hunger. They randomly found reasons to wash their hands and mouth, and moved to the waterside to discuss the next response in private.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss.

Without asking any questions, Dian fans knew that Gao Kai, who was a son of the Han family, would definitely choose to accept Zheng Pu's conditions.

Even if he still broods and hates the past that was abandoned by the Han Dynasty!
But the 400 years of prestige of the Han Dynasty and the glory of his father and ancestors eventually made him choose to compromise and let go of his previous expectations.

The reason is simple.

He has been a survivor for decades, but he has never regarded himself as a Qianghu!

Not to mention that future generations will not end up with left lapels!

This also makes Dian fans very helpless.

If the Qianghu tribe in Beidi County and the survivors of the Han family cannot work together, he will be alone and unable to resist the authority of the Han army. No matter how reluctant he is, he will eventually bow down and surrender.

Yes, he had no choice at all.

Let me ask, the survivors of the Han family returned to the Han court, but their Qianghu tribe did not. How could the Han army not drive these survivors of the Han family who were familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers of the North to attack their tribe?And when these Han family survivors had many disputes or confrontations with their Qianghu tribe before, how could they not be as good as the Han army wished!
Even, after the Han army provided armaments and promised spoils, they would be delighted to hear the battle!

Ugh.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the Han army no longer discussed with them.

With nothing to worry about, why bother talking?
"Oh, things are going nowhere."

As expected by the fans of Dian, when the two of them arrived at the water pool, Gao Kai took the lead in saying, "Although the Han family has lost to us, the people who belong to me are all the Han family and Li Shu, and none of them want to be with the Han family." The army killed each other. Therefore, I want to lead my troops back to the Han court, but I don't know how the leader of the Yunnan fan will make a choice?"

Do I have a choice? !

Involuntarily, as soon as Dian Fan heard the words, endless indignation surged in his heart.

There was no immediate answer.

Instead, he picked up a small piece of stone and threw it into the pool of water bitterly.

The small stone flakes swirled and splashed several times on the surface of the water before disappearing into the pool, causing the pool to rippling and rippling, and it took a while to return to silence.

Dian Fan suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to his own situation.

The Han army is like this pool, wide and deep; and itself is like this small whirling stone, no matter how much water is tossed, the final fate cannot escape being swallowed and returned to silence.

Between the two, there is no strength that can stand against each other.

"It's up to you."

Dian Fan, who had been silent for a long time, also had a disconsolate voice, "However, if I want to call on other Qianghu tribes to merge into the Han Dynasty, there must be a prerequisite. It is the condition negotiated by you, me and other leaders. Send more than a hundred craftsmen to Beidi County to teach me skills."

At this point, he turned his head abruptly, staring firmly into Gao Kai's eyes, and his voice became very low, "For this matter, I ask the high leader to fight with me! If it works, you will all benefit! Unless , After the high leader is willing to be included in the Han court, he will sit back and watch his clansmen become low-level soldiers of the Han family or garrison Li Shu!"

Indeed, his consideration was right.

Beidi County, which is no longer owned by the Central Plains Dynasty, has lagged behind too much in terms of skills and knowledge in the past few decades.

If there are no scholars to impart knowledge and craftsmen to impart skills, there will be no room for promotion after returning to the Han court, and future generations will be inferior from now on!
Gein and the others all knew that the Han Dynasty could not regain the strength of Beidi County in a short period of time.

The big man who was still unified before had no choice but to give up Beidi County three times, let alone the big man who has not yet entered the Guanzhong!

"it is good."

After pondering for a while, Gao Kai solemnly nodded and stretched out his hand, "If the Han army refuses, I will advance and retreat with you. Whether you go north to Hetao to vote for Wei, or migrate to Shangjun, we will all die together!"

"Advance and retreat together!"

Dian Fan also stretched out his hand and swore to him, "We will live and die together!"

However, even though they voluntarily lowered their requirements, they were still rejected by Zheng Pu.

"Don't say anything about this."

After listening to their request, Zheng Pu said, "There is no such precedent in the imperial court, and I must not be the first!"

When they saw that they were ashamed and annoyed after being rejected, they no longer restrained their feelings and gave serious instructions.

Said:
"There was Dong Zhuo's chaotic government in the past, and Cao Cao's tyranny in the future. The Han Dynasty has been in turmoil for decades. There are countless people in the world who have suffered from violence, ugliness, and cruelty. It is not limited to a county in the north? As the saying goes, "The benevolent will not change the festival with prosperity and decline, and the righteous will not change with the ups and downs." Survival and death change the heart'. The 400 years of the Han family supporters, on the occasion of rebelling against the Wei Dynasty and stealing the artifacts, all the loyal people are heartbroken, and they are all fighting to bring the country back to safety! I think you will leave behind the education It's been too long, and I feel pity in my heart, so I just let it go, so that you have the opportunity to restore the glory of your father and ancestors. However, I don't want you to only hate being abandoned, and don't think about the kindness of the old Mu Han family, and ask for nothing! So , You ask yourself, what is loyalty? How is it different from those who are only interested in profit? What is the evil of my big man's order to restore your clothes!"
