Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Scroll Collects a Thousand Horsemen

"I know everything."

Aunt Gongsun came to the courtyard of her own business inn and sat down casually, and after putting the cat on her lap, she took advantage of the situation to help her black-rimmed glasses, and then continued to speak unhurriedly. "The method is quite right, but it is only the right way, and there are some things I still have to make clear to you."

"Mother said it bluntly." Gongsun Xun sighed, and then sat down as well.

"You erase the nobles among the Wuhuan people and directly organize the households, this is definitely right, but it may not last long." The eldest lady pinched the fat cat's chin and said. "Because the Wuhuan people are in a semi-determined and semi-nomadic state, with the curtain falling as a unit, and you yourself said that it is a blood tax......

Gongsun Xun didn't have too many doubts about the word blood tax, because he literally understood the meaning of the word in an instant.

"So Wen Qi." Aunt Gongsun continued. "The Wuhuan people will definitely raise a new noble head, or a leader on the battlefield, or a guide during the migration of the curtain fall, and then pass it on by blood again...... Inevitably. This is the same thing as the Han people, after a long time, the rich and powerful have become powerful, and the famous and powerful have become the world, the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother. ”

"But......" Gongsun Xun couldn't help frowning slightly. Mother, this is not the same thing as the Han people, right? The Haoqiang and Shizu of the Han people will not rebel because they have become Haoqiang and the Shi, and these leaders of different races seem to be inherently unstable and untrustworthy. ”

"That's another story." Aunt Gongsun seems to have expected her son's doubts. "In the final analysis, the Han system in your eyes is originally produced corresponding to the Han farming civilization, and it is the result of the exploration and practice of countless sages of the Han farming civilization for thousands of years according to the situation around them, and it is not inherently a ...... to deal with nomads."

Gongsun Xun opened his mouth to speak, as if he remembered his father-in-law's previous words.

"Are you trying to ask if there is no system that can be compatible with nomadism and farming, so that the grasslands will not be a scourge?" Aunt Gongsun still knows her son's thinking well.

"Yes."

"Behind the system is to be based on the economy and productive forces...... If there were railways and muskets and artillery, then any system would be effective on the steppe. Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but sigh. But your mother and I are really powerless, for so many years, it is already very difficult to get an iron pot and salted fish, and then keep reprinting a few old books every year. Even if he found Tai Shici before, he had already picked up his mother to Liaodong, and wrote a letter to persuade him to come to you, but in the end, he couldn't resist the in-laws' bus recruitment......"

“……”

"But then again." Aunt Gongsun replied. "It's because there is no productivity and scientific and technological level to rely on, so now we can only rely on the system. I thought about it for a long time on the way here, probably thinking of building temples, building cities, and bondage...... It's just the old way. ”

Gongsun Xun didn't say a word, and put on a posture of listening.

"The so-called building of temples means using religion to paralyze and weaken them...... Taoism is not good, Taoism is too easy to rebel these days, let Buddhism go ...... Monks are the most suitable for the grassland! When one day Taiyuan and Luoyang are defeated, let the monks of the White Horse Temple and Wutai Mountain all go to the grassland, and you will also be a Manjushri Bodhisattva! ”

Although Gongsun Xun only knew that Manjushri had helped Sun Monkey, he probably understood the meaning of this, so he did not delve into it.

And the so-called building of a city is at a necessary juncture...... For example, as in Chengde, the city was built appropriately, forcing the fragmentation of the grassland forces, so that they could not exert their power. However, now you can only come according to the terrain, which is also expensive, and you have to take your time. If you really want to do it on a large scale, you need cement...... But this mother and I are really powerless, who made me not an engineering dog? ”

Gongsun Xun was still speechless.

"As for the bondage, that's what you did in Chengde before, on the periphery of the grassland, support the pro-Han forces......"

"About that." Gongsun Xun, who had been listening carefully, suddenly frowned. "It's so unstable to be a simple bond...... People like Mo Huqi suddenly betrayed, and I also had some doubts about Duan Ri Yu Ming's previous performance...... My father-in-law told me the day before yesterday that these methods are only used temporarily, and if the situation is not right, or if the leader is changed at will, the tiger will be raised. Although I didn't care about this on the surface, I still listened to it in my heart. But as my mother said, whether it is to build a temple or a city, it takes several generations of effort, and I do it slowly, but only fetters are the means I can do now. So, how should the fetters be fetted? How to choose people? ”

"It depends on whether you're talking about the long term or the present." Aunt Gongsun raised her eyebrows slightly.

"How's it going?" Gongsun Xun sighed.

"For now, it is natural that those who follow you will prosper, and those who oppose you will die, whoever is against you will beat him, and whoever is honest will give a bone...... Didn't you ask me to come here just to let the Amway cooperate with you, annex Wuhuan, and then take the opportunity to eat some of the Zahu tribes that followed the Wuhuan people before, and then support a few new tribes to replace the Mohu tribe? There's nothing to say about this, the princes of the Eighteenth Road are going to ask for Dong soon, where is the time to care about these, cut through the mess quickly, just do it! Anyway, now that you have won the battle in Liaoxi, you have the final say! ”

"But what about longevity?"

"If the wheel is long, there is only one standard, not about people, but about tribes...... Specifically, it depends on how high the degree of sinicization of this tribe is. If a tribe really realizes that it is better to be a Han than a Hu person, and is willing to practice Sinicization and accept the Han family system, it will even awaken some doctrines in the process...... Then you shouldn't care about what the head is or what the head is not! After all, you yourself said that the loyalty of things like the head people is constantly changing according to the current situation and time, but the overall loyalty and controllability of a large tribe is relatively more stable. At this point, Aunt Gongsun's tone couldn't help but become light. In my opinion, the two Han Dynasty have been unreasonable in this regard for hundreds of years...... The Liangzhou Qiang and Han people have been integrated from the blood source culture, and they actually did not absorb the Qiang people, but despised the Liangzhou Han people; Since the former Han Dynasty, the Di people have almost completely been sinicized, and they are even mainly farming, but the imperial court still does not treat people as people...... It's been hundreds of years, and it's time to give an ID card anyway! ”

Gongsun Xun was very clear about the matter in Liangzhou, and he was extremely impressed, so it was irrefutable.

"I made a note of it." As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun also bowed his head seriously, and then asked again. "One more thing...... Mother, where did Ah Ding and Ah Ping go to their father-in-law? ”

"Not bad." Aunt Gongsun continued to pinch the fat cat and smiled. "I asked Zhao Zilong to take them there, and I know what you're going to say...... Gongsun Du disappeared, but there was a more famous Zhao Bao, and as soon as he arrived in Liaodong, he recruited Tai Shici, and I was also suspicious at the time...... But then I thought about it, after all, it's a family, and it won't hurt you, right? And when it comes to big things, he can't stand by and watch, right? Besides, in this situation, it's too late for you to drive him away. ”

"That's not what I meant." Gongsun Xun was also helpless. "However, He Jin has indeed begun to recruit foreign soldiers into the court, and I have also received a private message...... Calculate the time, the Son of Heaven has been dead for almost two months, and the damned ones are dead, and when I turn around and dispose of Liu Yu, maybe the dust will have settled, but I don't know what the final result of Luozhong in the current situation is, and the winner is still not Dong Zhongying? Liucheng is still too remote, and you can only watch the flowers in the fog! And mother, when I finish disposing of Liu Yu and integrate the forces of northern Xinjiang, what should I do, should I go south to seize Jizhou, or should I first make a false and false accusation, follow the banner of Luoyang, and do something like an alliance? ”

"It doesn't matter." Aunt Gongsun said disapprerovitically. "That's your business, you just have to make your own decisions...... You want my help, you want the Amway to help you do things, that's a matter of course, sleep with me as the only son you have? It's like this time, you can now prepare to take the main force back to Lulongsai to solve Chengde, Liaoxi I will definitely help you eat it in the back, you don't have to worry about the adaptation of the Wuhuan people and the Zahu tribe, and your father-in-law will not take me either. But when it comes to big strategy, it's up to you to decide. If you have to ask me, I can only give you one advice based on my own business experience......"

As she spoke, Aunt Gongsun raised her eyes and looked at Han Dang, who suddenly appeared outside the door with a knife, and the latter also retreated again without saying a word after making sure that the two people in the courtyard noticed her.

"Mother said." Gongsun Xun asked as he stood up.

"There is no perfect strategy in the world, you can only lose more if you think more, and you must be decisive...... And once you make a decision, you have to do it at all costs! There are more things to do, and the big picture is yours! Aunt Gongsun threw down the fat cat in her arms and urged. Go ahead, Han Yigong is a proper person, he must have something big to do when he came to you. ”

Gongsun Xun immediately nodded and turned around, but halfway through he was stopped by his mother:

"By the way, Zhao Yun is really good! I didn't help you get Tai Shici, I was very annoyed, but Zhao Zilong came, and he finally lost the mulberry elm in the east! ”

Gongsun Xun, who understood his mother's temper, laughed dryly, and could only turn around and persuade him reluctantly: "Taishi Ziyi was born in a family and is a person with ideas, so my mother doesn't have to care!" And there are so many heroes in the world, the key is to have the power in your hands, in this way, the real heroes will always come to you! ”

"If only you could think like that." Aunt Gongsun also waved her hand again, urging her son to get busy. However, when Gongsun Xun walked to the door, he heard his mother's voice again. "Stop, did you just want to say something but didn't say anything? About my in-laws' ......"

"Mother misheard." Gongsun Xun laughed again, but he walked directly out of the backyard door of the Amway Inn.

Aunt Gongsun chuckled, but she didn't bother to pay attention to her son, who had already grown up.

"What?" Gongsun Xun asked as soon as he went out.

"Junhou, Mo Hu is here." Han Dang replied with a knife, concise and to the point.

Rao is Gongsun Xun has just received an education from his mother, and he thinks that he can reorganize his mind and start again, but at this time, he can only be stunned for a while, and then he stopped for a while before he barely laughed:

"How? How many people came? ”

"More than 2,000 people, many of them wounded, stopped at the west of the Daling River, and then Mo Hu was alone, dressed in white and barefoot with hair, with only a head...... ...... of Lou Ban He crossed the river alone, and now he is kneeling outside the west gate and waiting for the prince. The place has long been cleared, and Mr. Zibo and Mr. Zhicai are there. ”

Gongsun Xun sneered more and more, but suddenly pulled out the opponent's saber from Han Dang's waist with his backhand, and then dragged the white blade out directly.

Han Dang had no choice but to keep up.

"Mo Hutou people!" Half a quarter of an hour later, in front of the city gate, Gongsun Xun saw the figure of the other party from a distance, and he couldn't hold back his anger at all, so he actually crossed Lou Gui and Xi Zhong directly, and dragged his knife forward. "Don't come unharmed! I heard that I haven't been in Youzhou for half a year, and you have done a great thing in the Northland! ”

Mo Huqi saw Gongsun Xun coming with a white blade from a distance, but he just kowtowed: "My lord! The kid was half-hearted before, and he knew that he couldn't be spared, and if the adults wanted to kill me, I really had nothing to say...... And the kid came here today, and he didn't mean to ask the prince to spare my life! I just hope that after the prince kills me, I can leave the Mohu Department with a way to live......"

"You Mohu head people have clear rewards and punishments, and you have a lot of prestige, if you kill you, how can the Mohu Department obey me?" Gongsun Xun sneered, but he had already come to the other party. "But if I don't kill you, how can I go to the heart barrier...... Mo Hutou, why do you think that I can kill your people and pardon your tribe? ”

"My lord! Prince! General Wei! Mo Hu leaned over to the ground, seeing that the other party's footsteps were approaching, and the blades were already slightly off the ground, but he couldn't help but tremble, but his mouth was still defending his people. Although the villain was shaken for a while, the whole Mohu Department was not guilty! Since Lu Longsai more than ten years ago, the Mohu Department has started as a small Xianbei department, and it has always sacrificed its life for adults, and has never faced adults with knives and guns half a time! Lu Longsai was so reluctant to Ke before! Liucheng Yangle is so frank with Ke! Show the way for adults in front of Danhan Mountain! Sitting for the sake of adults! Even before the White Wolf Mountain was besieged, it was also done on the orders of adults! It was this time that I was confused and shaken, and no one in the Mohu Department dared to really raise a sword against the prince from beginning to end! ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help sneering, but he stopped in front of the other party.

At this point, seeing Gongsun Xun's boots stop in front of him, Mo Huyun mustered up the courage to raise his head and continued to speak: "Adults are people who want to do great things...... You can kill me because of resentment, anyway, I'm just a cheap life, but I dare to disobey adults, although I die nine times without resentment! can dispose of the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and cut off the survival of a tribe, but adults want to set an example for the people of the world! ”

"Are you saying that my rewards and punishments are unfair?" Gongsun Xun lowered his head and sneered.

"That's not what I mean!" Mo Hu raised his head and answered, but he burst into tears. "I don't know, if it weren't for the kindness of adults, how could I get to where I am today? The prince didn't feel sorry for us at all, but this time, it was really just me who was confused, I was the adult, and the Mohu Department was not the adult! In fact, with the kindness of adults to me, I should have died for adults at the foot of White Wolf Mountain that day...... How did this happen? It's all my own fault. ”

"Keep your head down!" Gongsun Xun said coldly.

Mo Hu bowed his head to the ground again, but he caught a glimpse of the white blade in the other party's hand had come to the side of his neck, and he was shaking like chaff again...... Because in the next moment, his life may really disappear.

"I'll ask you one last thing." Gongsun Xun slapped the other party's neck with the blade and said. "You tell me the truth."

"Your Excellency, please speak." When people are dying of life and death, Mo Hu's tears and snot have already come down involuntarily.

"Why the hell are you suddenly shaken?" Gongsun Xun stepped on the other party's shoulder, and it was rare for him to explode in anger. "With your cleverness, can't you figure out the situation?"

"At that time, Kebi was able to surround me in White Wolf Mountain, and then personally came to the front to question me, saying that I was obviously a Xianbei person." Mo Huyun suddenly stopped trembling, but tears fell uncontrollably down his cheeks and into the ground. "But why do you make dogs for the Han people? I can't answer! ”

Gongsun Xun finally changed color.

"My lord, my Mohu Department was originally a noble race in the middle of Xianbei, living in Murong Temple in the southeast of Danhan Mountain, and later encountered wars, the tribe was scattered seven or eight out of ten, and was forced to move to Liaoxi, and my father and brother were mourned, so I entrusted the tribe to me, at that time my father had a last word, let me revitalize the tribe, return to the ancestral land...... Although I am a cowardly person, I have not forgotten this ambition, and I am careful in western Liaoning, just wanting to return to the central Xianbei one day, but I unexpectedly met the old lady and the adult! Mo Huqi became more and more tearful, and he was already choked up. For more than ten years, thanks to the grace of the people, the tribe has gradually prospered, but it has been sinicized, and the people in the tribe have also learned Chinese more and live in the city. It's me, while thinking about the glory of the revival of the clan, but on the other hand, I have gradually looked down on the achievements of my father and brother and even my ancestors...... Over the years, it has also been tormented. Therefore, in the name of reviving Xianbei's prestige, Kebi was able to invite me to join the alliance, and I was temporarily shaken...... My lord, I still deserve to die, I just want to go around my tribe! They really didn't even think about turning away from adults! And this time, I took them to intercept and kill Kebineng's defeated army halfway, and it was even more impossible for them to join forces with Xianbei again! ”

At this point, Mo Huqian didn't say much, but just fell to the ground and wept...... I don't know if I'm afraid of death or thinking about my father and brother, I can't help myself.

"Do you know that my mother is in Yangle?" Gongsun Xun's face was expressionless, but he suddenly exerted force on his feet.

"I just hate that I can't thank the old lady for her many years of kindness in person!" Mo Hu was choked up more and more when he heard this. "If I had known this would have been the case, I would have been a few days late......"

Gongsun Xun didn't speak, just looked ahead and directly slid the blade in his hand.

With the other party's movements, Mo Huqi only felt a stinging pain in his neck under his ears, and blood gushed out, and he had no choice but to close his eyes and wait for death...... But as the blade slid by, he opened his eyes again, and he was shocked.

It turned out that Gongsun Xun only cut off one of his ears.

"If it weren't for your mother's intercession with you, you would have died today...... The more than 2,000 young men of the Mohu tribe in Hexi also died. Saying that, Gongsun Xun handed the bloody knife to Han Dang behind him. Today, I will only accept one ear from you for the time being, and I will only take back Chengde City in the Mohu Department. Go to the city and find my mother. She has something to say to you! ”

After that, Gongsun Xun actually threw down Mo Huyun, who was covered with blood, and turned around and left directly.

Lou Gui and Xi Zhong didn't dare to slack off, and turned around to follow, but Han Dang sighed helplessly and stepped forward to help each other.

"Brother Yigong!" The messy Mo Huqi followed Han Dang into the city, and came to his senses when he came to the back door of the Amway Merchant Inn, but he grabbed Han Dang's wrist violently. "I know...... It's all because of the old people who remember that the old feelings in the past have been maintained, otherwise I will definitely not survive today! ”

"You're thinking too much!" Han Dang sighed helplessly in the face of this real old man. "The prince is indeed really angry with you this time, under the power, how can we people help you intercede? I want to thank you, I still have to thank the old lady, and yourself! ”

"I'm ...... myself" Mo Hu's face was tingling, and blood was flowing all over his face, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If it weren't for the fact that you had been able to win the hearts of your people on weekdays, killing you would have razed the entire Mohu clan, and you would have died today; If it weren't for your caution in fright, you wouldn't have said in public that you had succeeded in killing Gongsun Du for the prince that day, and you would definitely die today! Han Dang shook his head helplessly and sighed. Let's go wash your face first, don't sell miserably in front of the old lady! ”

Mo Huyun suddenly woke up, but he quickly bowed his head and thanked the other party.
