Wei and Jin cooks

No matter what nationality Duan Wumuchen was, he relied on the Wei State in the past and the Jin State in the later period. On the surface, he was mainly serving the imperial court and was a minister of the Jin Dynasty.

Since he is a minister of the Jin Dynasty, he has to bow his head when facing Zhao Hanzhang, who represents the imperial court. Unless he wants to fight, raises his arms and declares that Zhao Hanzhang, a treacherous minister, should be removed from the emperor's side, or directly raises the flag of rebellion and says that he will not listen to the Jin court, otherwise he will Everyone had to bow to Zhao Hanzhang.

If he could really make up his mind to fight, he would have fought across the river long before Wang Jun was dead and before Youzhou fell into Zhao Hanzhang's hands. Why did he wait until now?

Wei Jie also knew this, so as the vanguard of the negotiations, he took the stance of asking for guilt. After Duan Wumuchen saluted, he asked him, "Why is Liaoxi Duke Chen Bing here? Your fiefdom is in Liaoxi County, but you have crossed Beiping at this time." The county has tens of thousands of horses and strings under its control. Do you want to imitate Wang Jun and plot rebellion?"

Duan Wumuchen was filled with anger and was about to get angry, but his son Duan Ji Lujuan gently pulled him away and he said nothing with a dark face.

Duan Ji and his family members took a step forward and replied: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, our Duan family has always been on good terms with Youzhou. More than a month ago, our department received a request for help from the Governor Wang, saying that Youzhou was being attacked by foreign enemies. My father was worried, so he Bring the troops over to investigate."

Wei Jie said: "Youzhou was indeed invaded by the Xiongnu, but now that the Xiongnu kingdom has been destroyed, the hidden danger is gone, and the Duan family can retreat. There is also Wang Jun, although he is the governor of Youzhou, he does not obey the imperial order and takes advantage of the death of the late emperor. , spread rumors widely, and plan to take over the world, it is really not a pity to die."

Now even Duan Wumuchen fell silent.

Because Wang Jun is really very high-profile, he may be too confident, thinking that he can definitely come down from Youzhou and take over the entire Northland and the Central Plains after Zhao Hanzhang and the Huns were both defeated, so he focused on building momentum and justifying the rebellion. Go up and tell people everywhere, "Hey, have you heard the prophecy of the Han Dynasty?"

"This is the prophecy spoken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself. The person who represents the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao. My father is that Tu Gao."

"So, my family is the one who truly succeeded the Han Dynasty. Cao Wei and Sima Jin all appeared in the middle and were fake. That's why their empire will not last long. Only the dynasty established by my family can be like the Han Dynasty..."

Although Duan Xianbei was in western Liaoning, he also heard these rumors. The most terrible thing is that Wang Jun also wrote to Duan Wumuchen to find out what he said, similar to, if I unify the world and ascend the throne as emperor, you must be Great hero, you are also the consort, you are equivalent to a son to me...

How can Duan Wumuchen answer?

Of course I happily agreed.

He didn't have much loyalty to Jin. The reason why he became a minister of Jin was to get the support of the court so that the tribe could develop better. If his father-in-law could become the emperor, he would naturally be happy, so no matter what Wang Jun said, he They all agreed.

This kind of thing that does not require actual payment should be dealt with first, and the rest, no matter what.

But at this time, it also became evidence of Wang Jun's rebellion, and even, if it was not good, it would become evidence of Duan's participation in the rebellion.

Duan Wumuchen became worried. Zhao Hanzhang wouldn't have found any letters or other things from Wang Jun, right?

Don't tell me, there really is, but the things were not searched by Zhao Jiajun, but by Shi Jun. Zhang Bin specially collected them and handed them over to Zhao Hanzhang.

At this time, Zhao Hanzhang took out the letter and said to Duan Wumuchen: "I know that the Duke of Liaoxi is far away from the court. I am afraid that he will be deceived and confused by Wang Jun, and he will not know the inside story and have no intention of committing crimes."

Duan Wu was in a state of confusion. His gaze swept over Zu Ti and Shi Le, and was also watched by Tuoba Yilu on the opposite mountain. A drop of sweat slipped from his temples, and he finally responded, "Yes. The general's eyes are as bright as a torch, I am indeed confused by Wang Jun..."

To put it bluntly, everything is for the benefit of the tribe, and the cooperation with Wang Jun is for this reason. Since Wang Jun is dead, Zhao Hanzhang, Zu Ti, Shi Le and Tuoba Yilu are all here at this time. He cannot defeat any of them, so it is better to follow the trend. for.

Duan Wumuchen gave up after weighing the pros and cons, but the staff behind him were not happy. A man dressed as a Han scholar rushed out and angrily scolded him, "Don't forget, Mr. Duan Xianbei of Liaoxi. The county's strong foothold depends entirely on the governor of the king, and the governor not only asked the court to make you the Duke of Liaoxi, but also married his beloved daughter to you. You are the son-in-law of Youzhou, how can you sit back and watch Youzhou being occupied?"

"Open your eyes and take a look. Zu Ti and Shi Le together only have 30,000 troops here. Tuoba Yilu only has 30,000 troops, and they are not of the same mind as Zhao Hanzhang. As long as the prince sends troops, he can capture them in an instant. If we advance further, we can capture Youzhou, why should we succumb to such villains?"

Zhao Kuan was furious when he heard this and asked Duan Wu Muchen, "Does the Duke of Liaoxi have the same treasonous intentions as Wang Jun?"

Even Zu Ti and Shi Le had fire in their eyes, staring at Duan Wu Muchen.

Of course Duan Wumuchen couldn't admit it, so he immediately had the scribe dragged off.

Zhao Hanzhang kept watching with a smile, and when he saw that the scribe was about to be dragged down, he said: "This man is just as treasonous as Wang Jun. He should be handed over to the court for processing."

The scribe whose mouth was covered immediately began to struggle fiercely. Duan Wumuchen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but nodded under the glare of Zhao Kuan and others.

Immediately, some soldiers came forward to take over the scribe. The scribe's mouth was released and he immediately shouted: "Zhao Hanzhang, do you dare to say that you are a loyal minister?"

The soldier also reached out to cover his mouth, and together with the other three, they raised their feet and hands, dragging the man across the river and back to Zhao Hanzhang.

As soon as the people were brought over, Zhao Hanzhang finally showed a smile, stepped on the stones to cross the river, and stood in front of Duan Wumuchen, smiling and saying: "This time I know that Duke Liaoxi's heart is still towards the imperial court. Your Majesty knows, You will definitely be happy.”

Because she came over, Duan Wu Muchen and Duan Ji Lujuan tensed up. When they saw that she made no other movements, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Hanzhang had already turned around and waved to Zhao Kuan and others, and said with a smile: "Bring the fine wine we brought, we have to clear up the misunderstanding today, and have a drink with Duke Liaoxi."

Zhao Kuan immediately suppressed the anger on his face, responded respectfully, and led a group of soldiers to carry the baggage they had brought over. Zu Ti and Shi Le immediately followed.

Duan Wumuchen immediately took a few steps back and made room on the river beach. The soldiers took out the mats from the bags and spread them out, as well as stoves, wine and various exquisite glass utensils.

Duan Wumuchen:...

He was now sure that Zhao Hanzhang really wanted to treat him to a drink here.

Fu Tinghan found it very interesting and wanted to go over immediately. Wei Jie patted him with a fan and said with a smile: "Wait a moment."

Zhao Jiajun's personal guards came forward calmly and filled up half of the river beach. Only then did Wei Jie slowly walk over with Fu Tinghan.

Zhao Hanzhang sat down at the front seat first, and then asked Duan Wumuchen to take a seat on her left.

Duan Wumuchen glanced at his son and sat down on the mat. It was only at this moment that the peace talks officially began. However, Duan lost the opportunity and once his momentum weakened, his weakness was revealed in subsequent negotiations.

In peace talks, the first thing is to be harmonious, and then to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.
