Chapter 820: Returning To Beijing
There are two messages in the letter.
The first news is that Wanyan Khan died of illness in Khan's tent, and the second prince took over as the leader of Wanyan tribe.
The second news is that the Wanyan tribe has bowed its head to the state of Chu, immediately stopped the attack on the Wanyan tribe, and returned to the court.
Sitting in the tent, Xiao Ye read the letter, then looked at Xu Qing, with a puzzled face on his face: "Brother Xu, just give me another one and a half months to eliminate the Wanyan tribe and unify the entire grassland. what does it mean?"
Seeing the letter from the Xian Wang, Xu Qing was also a little elusive about the Xian Wang's thoughts. The great opportunity to avoid future troubles is just in front of him, but the Xian Wang asked the teacher to return to the court at this time. Everyone feels that there is a problem with this matter, right?
Why not wipe out the Wanyan Department in one go?
Even Xu Qing couldn't understand things, but Xiao Ruxue, a woman of science and engineering, couldn't understand even more.
Xiao Ye thought about it for a while and said: "Father Wang has been relentless in his life, so there must be a reason for him to make such a decision. Brother Xu, I decided to count the seizures and stop the attack, but I have to release spies on the Wanyan Department to monitor the Wanyan Department. How does Brother Xu feel about every move?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "This is the safest method. Even if the Wanyan Department wants to do some small tricks at that time, we will be able to detect it immediately."
In fact, Xu Qing is also looking forward to finishing this battle as soon as possible. He has been away from home for several months, and he is a little homesick.
It would be great to end the war now.
After one battle, there were three more people in the history of the Central Plains who sealed off the wolves and lived in Xuxu. No wonder so many people liked to follow Huo Qubing back then.
He and Xiao Ruxue also benefited from Xiao Ye's favor, and in a thousand years, maybe own's name could become the answer to the question.
After several days of returning, the Chu cavalry finally returned to the camp, Xu Qing, Xiao Ye and Xiao Ruxue naturally went to the commander's camp to report back.
In the big tent, King Xian looked up at the three men and said, "I've been tanned for the past few months, but I've grown stronger. From then on, our Chu Kingdom has three more generals who will seal wolves and live in Xuxu! Good! "
Xiao Ye couldn't wait to take a step forward and said: "Father, our country of Chu is clearly capable of avoiding future troubles this time, why did we let the children return to the court when the big event is about to happen?"
The Xian Wang said: "Because the Wanyan tribe has surrendered to our Chu State, the future Wanyan tribe will be my Chu State's subjects."
Xiao Ye said: "If the father gives the child another month, the Wanyan Department will become a part of our Chu Kingdom."
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye and said, "What if the Wanyan Department becomes part of my Chu State? Can my Chu State last forever? Xu Qing, you should have thought about it all the way? You guessed it by now." What does the king mean?"
Xu Qing pondered for a while and said, "A little guess."
The virtuous king said, "Tell me about it."
Xu Qing guessed: "Respect yourself?"
Xiao Ye was puzzled when he heard Xu Qing's words: "Father also needs to support the bandits?"
If the father is a general or something, in order to maintain his own military power and a stable position, he can let the enemy go without destroying it. In this way, it is impossible for the court to replace the general and dismiss the military power, but the father is a person who appears to be a prince but is actually an emperor. What does he support? Kou/
Xu Qing said: "Mencius said: If you enter, you will be unable to protect your family, and if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish forever. If we wipe out the Wanyan tribe, we will have no rivals in the Central Plains in this world, so maybe we can get two Thirty years of prosperity, but if things go on like this, the country will be in chaos, Chu and the Central Plains need to leave behind an ambitious enemy."
The Xian King smiled and said, "Yes, sometimes being too strong is not necessarily a good thing. All dynasties in the world perish because of weakness, but Han alone perishes because of strength. It can be rivaled, just like Chu and Zhou this time, but when there are no enemies to unite us, the Central Plains itself will become its own worst enemy."
"This is also the reason why this king wants to keep Wanyan's tribe since he knows that Wanyan Khan will never die. There are not many people in the world who are qualified to be the enemy of our Chu State. Leaving an ambitious opponent is more arrogant than thinking of himself. Invincible is much better."
No matter what the virtuous king wanted to do, Xu Qing obviously felt that after he returned from a trip, the virtuous king's mood was much more stable than before.
Looks like it was worth the trip.
However, the wise king's words of raising the bandits' self-respect sounded to Xu Qing more or less as if he wanted Face to suffer. Maybe he really wanted to leave an ambitious opponent for the Central Plains, but the court's money was about to be exhausted. It is probably true that Xiao Ye's expedition was over in a hurry.
Withdrawing troops now kills two birds with one stone.
It can stop losses in time and leave an enemy for the Central Plains.
Xu Qing might have heard the king's abacus in Andinghou's mansion.
After the war, and the money is running out, it is natural for the teacher to return to the dynasty.
However, before Banshi returned to the court, King Xian still gave the household registration of these herdsmen on the grassland.
In fact, it is to issue a small sign with the name, date of birth and basic characteristics engraved on it. This thing is called a dental card, which is equivalent to an ID card in this era.
Having a tooth card is equivalent to being a legal citizen of Chu State, but if you don’t have a tooth card, sorry, you are not a citizen, you are a refugee, a black household.
Everything related to people in Chu State has nothing to do with you, you have to be careful not to get caught, otherwise it will be sour.
But don't think that you can live in peace with the ID card of the dental card. There will be an imprint of paying taxes every year on it. If you evade taxes, it will be equally sour.
This is the household registration system for going abroad.
It's fine wherever the war is over, but the class teacher's way back to the court is a bit boring.
Xiao Ruxue almost wanted to yawn on the horse.
Riding on the horse, the little girl rubbed one big eye with the back of her hand, turned her head to look at Xu Qing and asked, "Xu Qing, you're so boring."
Xu Qing also had no way to relieve the little girl's boredom, so she could only comfort her: "Persist for a few more days, and we'll be in the capital soon, then we can play however we want."
Xiao Ruxue pouted dissatisfiedly and said: "Didn't you say that the more you go to the border, the more bandits will be there? Why didn't we see a single bandit after we walked for such a long time? When we went to Liuzhou, there were obviously many bandits along the way Yes, they still want to rob us..."
Xu Qing said with a dark face: "Can you expect a dozen or so bandits to rob an army with tens of thousands after it? One against ten thousand? How can there be such a brave bandit?"
"Wait..." Just as Xu Qing finished speaking, King Xian suddenly rode over, looked at Xu Qing and then at Xiao Ruxue; "Have you two been to Liuzhou together?"
