Under the guidance of Bu Dugen, Lu Bu entered the huge tent that originally belonged to Xianbei Shan Yu, because Zhao Yun mainly targeted Putou last night, so this huge tent was not damaged, and it had already been cleaned by the soldiers at this moment.

Lu Bu sat on the thick white tiger skin and began to look at this place, which originally represented the highest honor of Xianbei, but now changed hands twice in two days. I saw that the huge tent was like a small palace, the ceiling, the ground, and all around were wrapped with complete and expensive furs, so that the temperature in the tent was as warm as spring, and the items displayed in the tent were not only most of the objects of the Xianbei people, but also a lot of valuable objects that were known to be Han artifacts at a glance. Lü Bu knew that these items not only contained 'spoils' looted by the Xianbei people, but also many of them were tribute from the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu's heart was sighing again, he was not without anger, but he knew from the later generations that at this time it was just a fragment in the historical process, and simple anger could not change anything, so he began to think about how to change such a history, so that there would be no tragedy of alien races outside the Guanwai Central Plains in the future.

"Hey, it would be nice if Mr. Tian Feng was like this again." Lu Bu lowered his head and sighed, and suddenly he looked up and saw the peeking Budugen outside the tent, and his heart moved: "Budugen, you come in." ”

Although Bu Dugen was a prisoner, he was the leader of Xianbei after all, and he took the initiative to surrender, so Lu Bu did not embarrass him too much, but gave him a certain amount of personal freedom and allowed him to move around, which led to his move of hiding outside the tent and wanting to come in, but without Lu Bu's summons, he didn't dare to come in on his own, and it seemed that he was indeed frightened by Lu Bu.

As soon as Budugen entered the tent, he ran to Lu Bu in small steps, quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Almighty Eagle God is above, and your people Budugen have come to meet your messenger, General Fei!" ”

Lu Bu was made to laugh and cry by Bu Dugen's exaggerated behavior: "Bu Dugen, what are you doing?" What messenger? ”

Budugen knelt on the ground and said seriously: "We grassland people believe in the Eagle God, he is the god in the hearts of our grassland warriors, and he is also an invincible existence, and the person who can defeat all the warriors on the grassland is the one sent by the god to lead us, that is, our Shan Yu." But now that Shan Yu has been defeated by you, then you must be the messenger of the gods in the world. ”

Hearing that the other party deified himself like this, Lu Bu felt amused at the same time, he suddenly had an idea, and he no longer dwelled on it, and changed the topic: "Bu Dugen, let me ask you, if I let you be your Xianbei Dadan, are you willing?" ”

Budugen didn't answer immediately after hearing Lu Bu's question, Budugen was rough but very smart, and he was not timid, otherwise even if he was Putou's younger brother, he would not be recognized by some Xianbei people. Even the rhetoric just now was used by him to coax the Xianbei people and flatter Lu Bu, he knew that he was definitely not Lu Bu's opponent, whether it was in terms of wisdom or force, plus he had always revered Han culture, so he was sincere about surrendering Lu Bu. It would be a joke to say that he didn't covet Shan Yu's position, but he was smart enough to know that things would never be easy.

After thinking for a while, Bu Dugen made up his mind, raised his head and said firmly: "Lord Fei, if you have any requirements, as long as you can let our Xianbei people leave a bloodline, I can promise you!" ”

Hearing Bu Dugen's request, Lu Buyang smiled and said, "Haha, Bu Dugen, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are a smart person." You can rest assured, I will not only let you Xianbei leave a bloodline, but also let it flourish, it depends on whether you are willing to seize the opportunity. Lu Bu continued to seduce Bu Dugen with a demagogic tone.

Budugen asked cautiously, "My lord, please explain a little more." ”

"Well, then I'll make it clear." Lu Bu thought for a while and said: "I will ask the imperial court to send someone to teach the people of your nationality to learn farming, weaving, handicrafts and other work, and at the same time, I will also let your children learn the knowledge of the Han people, open the border trade, but the trade of salt, iron and other tools must be carried out by the imperial court, and every year before the winter will be allocated for you to spend some winter materials, and one point, you are allowed to intermarry with the Han people." My request is also very simple, you Xianbei people must be vassals to my Han Dynasty, send protons, in addition to providing us with 10,000 high-grade military horses every year, you must not trade war horses with any other countries and nations, and at the same time you must form a cavalry team to hand over to the Han court, and if necessary, my Han court will recruit more troops for you to assist in the battle, and you must not shirk. ”

This plan is what Lu Bu has been thinking about during this time, he came up with such a method with reference to the process of ethnic integration in history, the reason why the nomads are untamed and not afraid of death, on the one hand, is because of their national blood heritage, on the other hand, it is forced by the living environment, precisely because they will die if they don't go to loot, it is survival that forces them to take up arms to rob the farming people, but on the other hand, once these people get off the horse and adapt to a stable life, It is not so easy to let them take up arms and step on horses, this is exactly how the Han nation has been able to integrate the Han nation for thousands of years, so the Han nationality is a great nation, and the greatness lies in the fact that no matter what kind of cruel blow it suffers, it will eventually use its tenacity and tolerance to include other nationalities into itself, and these measures proposed by Lu Bu only advance this process, although it is not perfect, but Lu Bu believes that with time, the process of integration will only get faster and faster.

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Bu Dugen was like being struck by lightning, not because what Lu Bu said was too harsh, on the contrary, these requirements could not be said to be requirements, but the benefits sent. Whether it is those survival skills, or border trade, this is the dream of Xianbei people, and he has studied Han culture, he deeply understands the breadth and profundity of Han culture, if the children of the grassland can learn, then within a hundred years, Xianbei will even progress to the point of the Han people, although salt, iron tools and other survival lifelines are handed over to the Han people, but the grassland does not produce these things, has always been through looting and black market trading to be able to obtain a little, can not meet the needs of Xianbei at all. As for the 10,000 military horses, they are nothing to the grassland people who were born from horse herding, although they cannot trade horses with other countries, but the most closely related to Xianbei except for the Han people are only hostile people like the Xiongnu, and the transformation from the previous underground trade to formal trade will only benefit the grassland people. As for auxiliary operations? Just kidding, that's not in the scope of Budugen's consideration at all, who to fight is not to fight, for Xianbei people, fighting is just commonplace.

Thinking about it, Budugen couldn't think of anything wrong with what Lu Bu said, but he always felt that something was wrong. Lu Bu knew that such a big matter required the other party to think carefully, and while sipping the unique flavor of butter tea, he waited for the other party's answer.

Bu Dugen frowned and desperately thought about every word Lu Bu said, and after nearly an hour, he suddenly spoke: "Lord Fei, your conditions are too tempting. But I still have a few small requests. ”

Lu Bu smiled secretly in his heart: As long as you agree, let alone a request, I can also agree to ten hundred. He replied, "Come and listen." ”

After considering the language for a while, Budugen said loudly: "First, I hope to exchange horses, furs and other grassland specialties for daily necessities such as salt, which can be rationed but at least meet the needs of my Xianbei people. ”

Lu Bu nodded and motioned for Bu Dugen to continue, Bu Dugen saw that Lu Bu was not angry, and gradually put his mind at ease, and continued: "Second, my grassland people worship heroes, let me surrender to General Fei, you have no problem, but surrender to the Han court, this is not something I can control at all, my lord, you see ......."

Lu Bu thought about it carefully, and understood that what the other party said was not wrong, the court was weak, and it had been bullied by Xianbei over the years, if it was unrealistic for all of them to change their concepts at once, although it could be solved by strong force, but not to mention that Xianbei was still stronger than Lu Bu at present, even if Xianbei was really subdued, I am afraid it would lead to a greater backlash in the future, and it would undoubtedly add a lot of resistance to Lu Bu's national integration policy, and Bu Dugen's suggestion undoubtedly solved a problem for Lu Bu. Taking 10,000 steps back, what Lu Bu did at this time was not recognized and approved by the imperial court at all, if he really went through the official procedures according to Lu Bu's previous proposal, not to mention whether the emperor and the ministers in the imperial court agreed, I am afraid that the first thing would be to deal with Lu Bu for the crime of overstepping his authority. However, the subjugation of a foreign tribe to an individual or a group is acceptable, to take the simplest example: the Qiang and Di tribes near Xiliang and the Wuhuan near Youzhou were all indirectly subservient to the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Lu Bu quickly agreed to this request. Although it is not up to him to have the final say, but presumably with good persuasion, Ding Yuan will inevitably accept these agreements.

Budugen cautiously made a third request: "Can all the captives in the royal court be returned, and I am willing to exchange them for horses and other things." At that time, the reason why Putou dared to try to overthrow Helian and sit on the throne was that he took a fancy to the families of these various tribes who stayed in the royal court, as long as they were firmly in their hands, even if Helian's troops were strong, they could only obediently obey Putou's orders in the end.

Lu Bu naturally knew the importance of these captives, so Lu Bu flatly rejected this proposal, and he said, "It's absolutely impossible to hand it all over to you!" So I will keep half of the cattle, sheep and horses, and sixty percent of the young women and children who are not as tall as wheels, and all the remaining captives will be yours! ”

When Bu Dugen was still trying to bargain, Lu Bu suddenly glared: "Huh? ”
