Gongsun Du looked at Tuoba Zhong and Tuoba Yi brothers, and his heart was full of doubts.

Since the two of them joined together, they have always kept to themselves, abided by the law, and in addition to dealing with the generals in the army on weekdays, they do not take the initiative to get acquainted with other people, no matter who they are. Even he, the lord, rarely communicates.

And today, it is really strange that these two people took the initiative to ask to talk to him alone.

"Tiro, Makino, it's been almost a year now, how do you feel?" Although Gongsun Du was puzzled in his heart, he didn't immediately ask the reason, but talked about other things.

Tuoba Zhong said excitedly: "I feel very good, and the clansmen have gradually integrated into this kind of life, and I feel that it is much better than the previous upheaval and precariousness." Thank you to the lord for giving his subordinates and clansmen a chance! The subordinates believe that it will not be long before they will become a part of the Han people completely! ”

"Yes, there is no lord, at this time, the clansmen don't know how many people will die in this southward journey, and they don't know where they have migrated to, and whether there is suitable grassland to survive." Tuoba is more direct.

But the two brothers have the same meaning, they think it is good to be Han Chinese, and their lives are better than before.

"Well, it's good to get used to it, and as you said, sooner or later you'll be able to fully integrate into it. And, if you think about it, this day won't be too far away! Gongsun Du smiled. He already knew about this, but the sincere gratitude of the two Tuoba Zhong brothers made him feel more satisfied, and he had two more loyal subordinates.

Then Gongsun Du saw that the two didn't mean to mention it, so he could only say: "Say, what do you have to do?" If there is any problem with integrating into the Han, it should be solved as soon as possible to avoid conflicts in the future. ”

Tuoba Yi didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Tuoba Zhong, which made Gongsun Du understand that Tuoba Yi was just an additive, and the real protagonist was Tuoba Zhong, so he put all his eyes on Tuoba Zhong, wanting to see why.

Tuoba Zhong was originally worried, otherwise he would not have brought his younger brother along, but what he didn't expect was that his younger brother would sell him directly, his face twitched, and he said in his heart: If I knew this, I wouldn't take you!

Tuoba Zhong didn't know what to say for a while, but when he saw Gongsun Du frowning, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Lord, in fact, this is like this......"

Speaking of which, this matter still has a certain relationship with Gongsun Du, if he hadn't defeated Yubunsuke and greatly reduced the strength and status of Yubunbu, he wouldn't have been persecuted by Gřidoro. And even if Tan Shihuai asked him not to worry about it later, it still made him panic in his heart and thought about him.

In this case, there are several opinions within the Yuwen Ministry, one of which is simply attached to the tribe of Tanshi Huai, which shows that the prestige of Tanshi Huai is indeed high; the second is to go away to the north of the desert and never come back; Third, in fact, this is just Yuwenzhu's idea, he hopes to be attached to Gongsun Du, in other words, Gongsun Du has already subdued him in the previous battle, he feels that Gongsun Du has the image of Sandalwood Acacia, and sooner or later he can become the Shan Yu of the Central Plains. The vision is good, but there are very few people who agree, less than thirty percent.

However, because of the "lessons from the past" of the Tuoba Department, even if some people were still reluctant to the tribe, they still agreed to Yubunsuke's proposal. However, it is precisely because of this that they first got in touch with Tuoba Zhong and Tuoba Yi brothers, and expressed their intention to emulate.

What to emulate?

Naturally, it is under the command of Gongsun Du!

In this regard, the two brothers have different opinions:

Tuoba Yi felt that it was better to refuse, because only if they joined Gongsun Du's subordinates, they would definitely be more valued.

Tuoba Zhong felt that they were all suppressed by Tanshi Huai, and had to make this choice, and they should help each other, besides, only the two brothers under Gongsun Du were not Han Chinese, although they were not very obviously excluded, but in the past year or so, there has been little communication with other people, and there are only three or five people who have friendships.

Tuoba Yi has always been based on his brother's idea, even now, so although he has another opinion, he still asked to see Gongsun Du together.

"Well, so-and-so knows, you go down to rest first, and after tomorrow's meeting, I'll give you a satisfactory answer." After listening to Tuoba Zhong's words, Gongsun Du did not respond immediately, but said so.

Tuoba Yi opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Tuoba Zhong: "Yes, thank you lord!" ”

Tuoba Yi had no choice but to follow and say, "Yes, thank you, lord." ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Du nodded.

The brothers then withdrew.

As soon as he walked not far away, Tuoba Yi said unhappily: "Second brother, why don't you let me say it?" Don't you want your lord to agree? ”

Unhappiness and a hint of doubt.

"My silly brother!"

Tuoba Zhong shook his head and explained: "Muye, you have to know that now the lord is the lord, we are the vassals, since the lord said that he will consider, that is, he will consider, how can you say more?" Whatever decision the Lord makes, we just have to follow it. ”

"But ......" Tuoba Yi is still not happy.

Seeing this, Tuoba Zhong didn't say anything.

When this conversation reached Gongsun Du's ears, he was a little more impressed with Tuoba Zhong. It's just that whether to accept the Yuwen Department or not still gives him a headache.

There is a huge difference between the Yuwen Department and the Tuoba Department:

Yuwen Department is one of the most Xianbei in the east, before the unification of Xianbei by Tanshihuai, they plundered many border counties such as Xuansu, Liaodong, and Changli, and they had several generations of hatred; In addition, last year, Yuwenzhu personally led the troops to attack Houcheng, although this was an order from Tanshi Huai, but it still could not change Yuwenzhu's damage to the Han people.

The Tuoba tribe is different, they are a part of the Xianbei in the north, although they are also a large part, but most of them fight with the rest of the tribes of the same clan, as well as the Ding Ling and other tribes in the north, and there are very few when they go south, even if they are, they are also in Yanmen County.

Therefore, Gongsun Du can accept the Tuoba Ministry, but for the Yuwen Ministry, he is worried that the acceptance will affect the people's hearts and stability. Especially at the moment when the attack on Dongyu and other cities is about to be attacked, stability is particularly important.

It would be nice if we could wait until the attack was completed, but obviously this is impossible, after all, winter is coming soon, and all that Yuwen needs is ten days and half a month.

In fact, if it were someone from the imperial court who had to choose, he would definitely choose to agree without hesitation.

This can be seen from the fact that the Han Dynasty was able to accept Xiqiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan, and from the perspective of Goguryeo, it can be clearly seen that the Han people have the heart to accommodate all peoples and tribes.

The most important thing is that with the vast habitable territory and huge population base of the Han Dynasty, it has the ability to accommodate all peoples and all ethnic groups.

Therefore, when Gongsun Du thought about it for a long time, it was still difficult to make up his mind and recruit Wei You, what he got was a promise.

"Why? Aren't you afraid that this will affect the stability of Xuansu and Liaodong? Or do you think that our previous hatred with Xianbei was eliminated by a certain command? Gongsun Du was very puzzled.

Wei You was surprised: "How could the lord think so? ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, he thought of the difference between the Yuwen Department and the Tuoba Department.

"Hahaha!"

Wei You laughed out loud after hearing this, and it wasn't until he saw Gongsun Du's face darkening that he quickly stopped and said, "Ahem, lord, whether he was originally Xianbei in the north or Xianbei in the east, the Yuwen Department and the Tuoba Department are both Xianbei, and there is no difference in the eyes of the people." ”

Gongsun Du suddenly realized, yes, it doesn't matter if he is Zhang San or Li Si, he is a human being, and in the eyes of fierce beasts, he is a delicacy...... Well, it's wrong, whether it's the eastern Xianbei, the western Xianbei, or the northern Xianbei, who rarely deals with the big Han, he is all Xianbei, and there is no difference.

If the people can accept the Tuoba Ministry, they will also be able to accept the Yuwen Ministry!
