Returning to the Wei family?

After hearing these four words, Wei Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had guessed just now, the real hearing these four words popped out of Chen Zhi's mouth still made him feel excited. He had to try to suppress his emotions in his heart before he could speak again: "General Chen is afraid that these words are a bit exaggerated. How can I return when I wait for this situation?"

Although Wei Xiong tried his best to control it, there was still a slight tremor in his voice. I don’t know if it was because of injuries on his body or because of his mood.

Not only Wei Xiong, but other busy people also paused at this moment, as if they were quite surprised by Chen Zhi's resolution, but they all returned to normal immediately.

However, Wei Xiong could not calm down for a long time. Although he tried his best to make an expression of disagreement, he could still see that the person was waiting for Chen Zhi's further answer.

After a while, Chen Zhi spoke again: "Why did the general exaggerate? The Wei family was originally a noble family, and now it is different from the past, but its roots are still there and have a foundation in Dai County. For example, the troops under my command originated from Dai County, whether in the army or in the general's office, there were many Wei family children. When the general and his uncle returned, it was just to give the Wei family in Dai County a large branch. What's the difficulty?"

There were indeed many people under Chen Zhi's command. The Wushu of Dai County started from Dai County. As the foundation of the Wei family, even if it was repeatedly cleaned, there were still residues. After all, many people of the Wei family had five robes. After the branches and leaves were spread, I don't know how many branches there were. Even if the state machinery was used to clean it up, how could they be completely sorted out?

However, these people are actually distant from the main lineage of Wei, who fled, and they are not very close to each other. Even if the main family of Wei comes back, they still have no appeal to them.

Therefore, Wei Xiong naturally said: "There are still people in the Wei clan left in Dai County. After all, my uncle suffered a lot because he was too close to Wei Gong, which affected the tribe. Anyone who was slightly closer was either arrested or exiled. A little better would have fled like me. How could there be any Wei clan in Dai County? What's more, the reason why we left was because the court asked for punishment. Now that we are back, the court has been writing documents, so you will obey, right?" This seemed disheartening, but even Ran Zhan could feel the inquiry inside.

Chen Zhi understood Wei Xiong's concern and smiled and said, "The court's investigation of the Wei family has long been overturned. However, some ministers in the court sometimes attacked political enemies in order to fight for power and profit. Besides, I sit in Youzhou to quell the border troubles and have the right to make decisions before the opportunity. Even the alien tribe can be incorporated and used, let alone the Celestial descendants like the general? If the court wants someone to guard the border, it must not support it and make things difficult for him to make things difficult for him to constrain him. He is now in chaos, and the court's food, feed and supplies are difficult to transport to Youzhou. They have to rely on the local government to raise their own funds. If the personnel cost is still limited, the northern border will really not be defended."

He captured Wang Jun and claimed that he would not object to the Northern Frontier Guard. This sentence pointed out several major problems at present.

First, the court has actually stopped pursuing old things. After all, the emperor has changed, and there are new discussions on Wei Guan's evaluation. However, some people in the court are not trying to benefit the New Han Dynasty, but themselves, and they cannot control the north;

Secondly, Jizhou is in chaos, the court is weak, unable to control the border, and its control over the border has declined. How can we be as powerful as in the past? Even the King of Jiangdu, who has a little bit of military power but has been defeated repeatedly, is valued by many people, let alone Chen Zhi, who has repeatedly won and replaced Wang Jun?

The third point is the most important. If your court wants to control the troops and horses and restrict the officials from the border, it should control the financial power. The military, horse, food and grass are the foundation. If the food and food are controlled, the military can control seven inches. As a result, the court is no longer able to bear the burden and loses the financial power of local force. Instead, the border troops raise money and food by themselves. After financial independence, how can they be subject to administrative interference?

These words are already very taboo. Many people talk about them privately on weekdays, but it is the first time that Chen Zhi has taken to discuss with a captured enemy general in such a public place. If it is in the past, as long as someone stabs them, the people who hold the court accountable will come in a few days.

But now, when Chen Zhi's aides, generals and officials heard this, they felt relieved and felt that they had captured a trace of Chen Zhi's ambition and felt that they had a clear mind.

Wei Xiong pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed, and finally shook his head and said, "Although the general is right, the weakness of the imperial court is only for a moment. When Jizhou is pacified, Shi Le and others will sooner or later be destroyed. Even if the whole process lasts for ten years, then, General, you may not be able to stay here. Even if you can, how long can it last? But if my Wei family returns and takes root in Youzhou again, and wants to pass on it, it will be a hundred years, hundreds of years. If there is a recurrence, it will be doomed!"

"Since the general is looking at the long term, I will talk about this future," Chen Zhi was not surprised at all. He wanted to persuade Wei Xiong to lead the Wei family back to Dai County, not only to gather a general with strong luck, nor to only value the Wei family. There are other considerations behind it, especially the family that has suffered from wars around him, knowing this action, so he was particularly patient in the face of this prisoner, "I would like to ask you, can you take root in the Tuoba tribe make the Wei family safe for a long time?"

Wei Xiong's face changed as soon as he heard this.

"Just as I said," Chen Zhi kept saying, "The Wei family can stand firmly because of Tuoba Yilu. If Tuoba Yilu is gone or he is not in power, what will happen in the future? When the Wei family came out of the north, they brought many retainers and property. Where are these things now? General, you know better than me. After Tuoba Liuxiu took power in the future, how much future will Wei family have in the Tuoba tribe? When the general's generation retreats and no blessings, what will happen in the future?"

Wei Xiong frowned and did not answer immediately.

Seeing that what Chen Zhi said was almost done, he stood up and said, "General, don't be in a hurry. You might as well think carefully. I'm not in a hurry to reply. There is time." He was confident that he would convince Wei Xiong because of what Guan Wei did and the original historical records, their uncle and nephew's thoughts about the Central Plains were quite interesting.

Hearing this, Wei Xiong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Indeed, compared to Chen Zhi's power, the rest of the northern part may not have much time. When Chen Zhi uses Dai County's set in the entire Youzhou, the less time the surrounding forces will be.

Not to mention his lord Tuoba Liuxiu, now he is even more time-consuming and cannot afford to delay any of it.

After thinking about it, Wei Xiong also felt that should leave a way out for the family. Before he was about to leave the tent, he couldn't help asking: "If a certain family is willing to agree, how will the general bring the Tuoba Wei family's people? Could it be that he sent a spy to help?"
