Chapter 359: Into the Nine Plains!
The city of Jiuyuan is close at hand, even Yan Wei and Lu Lingqi in the car can't help but lift the curtain to watch, and some of Lu Bu's voices can be heard in their ears, "There are ten cities under the jurisdiction of Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, Linwo, Wenguo, Heyin, Wudu, Yiliang, Manbai, Chengyi and Xi'anyang, hundreds of miles, but the population is so withered......"
"In the early years of Emperor Yonghe, there were still 4,667 households in these five original counties, with a population of 22,957 people. For so many years, the Xianbei Xiongnu often plundered the border, and this border search had to be relocated. Many cities are in ruins......"
Li Ru's voice sounded.
Liu Bao's face on Lu Bu's side changed slightly, and his brows wrinkled slightly.
Lu Bu saw this Liu Leopard's appearance and chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, King Zuo Xian, the Xiongnu raiding territory that Wen You said is the vicious Northern Xiongnu who will not change. You Southern Xiongnu belong to my Han Dynasty and defend against foreign enemies with our Han people, and you have long regarded them as my siblings! ”
Liu Bao was silent.
How could he not know that what Lu Bu was talking about was the Northern Xiongnu? Their Southern Xiongnu have almost all become an agrarian people now. For so many years, they have always been the hunting dogs raised by the Han people, even if he doesn't want to admit it, but he has to say that the strength of the Han is not something they can resist.
"Confucianism is wrong!"
Li Ru glanced at Lu Bu, glanced at Liu Bao again, and hurriedly said, "After Le Shi Yanran, there are no Northern Xiongnu in the world, only the Xianbei clan!" Today's Huns, there is only one of the royal courts, please don't blame the right virtuous king......"
Liu Bao's face changed again, looking at Li Ru who was smiling and apologizing, he barely squeezed out a smile, "How can I blame?" What Lord Zhizhong said is good, this Northern Xiongnu often plunders the territory with this Xianbei, which is really hateful! ”
Lu Bu stood on the red rabbit horse, looked at this Liu Leopard sideways, and smiled slightly. After the Northern Xiongnu in Dougu's Le Shi Yanran, their vitality was greatly damaged, and the people in that tribe either moved north, or Yu Xianbei. And it was the demise of the Northern Xiongnu that made the ambition of the Southern Xiongnu bigger and bigger. Aren't the Sumeru Candles and the others who let Lu Bu kill such ambitious people?
Between Lu Bu and the others laughing and saying, this Jiuyuan City has also arrived, and there are many people waiting outside Jiuyuan City at this time. There are all kinds of costumes! Obviously, the arrival of Lu Bu, a big man, these Han people and Huns living in Jiuyuan all knew about it, and they came to welcome it with the preparation of people with good intentions.
"Meet the Prince!"
After seeing the car of Lu Bu and others, those people knelt down one after another! The voice could not be said to be unanimous, it could only be said to be extremely noisy. And the accents are also different, especially those men with Hun faces who speak Chinese, which is a little awkward.
"Where is the chief of the nine plains?"
Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
A middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure hurriedly stood up, "Jiuyuan Chang Tao Fat, meet the prince!" ”
"Hmm."
Lu Bu nodded slightly, looked at the group of people who were worshipping, and couldn't help but sigh, "Everyone, please get up!" ”
Under Lu Bu's order, Tao Yan took the lead in standing up, and then many people behind him all stood up and looked at Lu Bu and his party, all of them with some awe and envy. Most of these people are Hun faces. This is also a relatively common scenario in border counties today, that is, there are many Xiongnu and few Han Chinese.
Since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been a policy of gentleness for foreign peoples. You see, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the people were relocated to the real border, while in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people of the border counties were mostly moved inward. In this Hetao area, the imperial court has long given up. It was just that they were given to these attached Southern Xiongnu to live, and then they used the Southern Xiongnu to resist the invasion of the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei. Prevent the nomads from breaking into the interior and plundering the counties in the interior. From this point of view, the Eastern Han Dynasty seems to be far worse than the Western Han Dynasty. But how to say it, after the founding of Emperor Guangwu, the country is really poor, and the whole world has to recuperate, how can we adopt any strong attitude? At this time, Emperor Guangwu decided to divide the northern and southern Xiongnu, let them kill each other, use razing to control the raze, check and balance from it, and when the country is rich in the future, he has his own way to solve them.
After Guangwu, there was the rule of Mingzhang, and the country was rich at that time, but there was no eloquent monarch like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! As a result, this policy of using razing to control razing has never changed. Most of the people of this county also moved inward, and then ceded the Hetao area to these Huns. At the beginning, these Huns were very honest, and the Han Dynasty also set up the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, General Du Liao, to manage these Huns. However, the Northern Xiongnu died out, and the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, so these Xiongnu people were naturally unstable. But after Lu Bu pacified the Xiongnu now, these Huns are very well-behaved.
Didn't you see these Huns looking at Lu Bu's eyes, they were all in awe? A few months ago, tens of thousands of heads really scared them. Everyone knows that the general of the Han army who killed tens of thousands of heads, Yan Zidong, whom they call a butcher, is the brother-in-law of this Wen Hou.
However, those Huns obviously thought too much, and Lu Bu came back this time, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them. As long as they can be honest, can they still find their troubles as Lu Bu? Moreover, when Yan Liang wanted to take revenge, he slaughtered many tribes, and these Huns were able to survive, presumably with fewer sins.
Under the eyes of everyone, in the sound of gongs and drums in Jiuyuan City, Lu Bu and his party slowly entered Jiuyuan City! Behind him, hundreds of armor soldiers escorted more than a dozen carts, pulling a large amount of money and silk things into Jiuyuan.
Lu Bu on the red rabbit horse has changed his usual style, he has never worn armor, but is wearing a beautiful brocade robe! The pattern on the brocade robe is extremely exquisite, if someone with a little eyesight can see it, they will definitely gasp, because this brocade robe is made of the most expensive Shu brocade in the world.
In fact, not only Lu Bu, but also Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, all of whom were in red robes and golden armor, rode on that high-headed horse and entered Jiuyuan City with their heads held high.
Such a big movement made many people in Jiuyuan City watch from both sides of the street. Whether it is those Han people or the Huns, they are all wide-eyed! They only knew that they Jiuyuan might be going to have a big shot, but they never thought that this big man would look like this!
Jiuyuan County Magistrate Tao Yan and so many officials, as well as the patriarchs of the Xiongnu tribes in Jiuyuan who had some power, but all those who had a little status in Jiuyuan City followed Lu Bu's convoy and followed behind.
The entire Jiuyuan is a sensation!
The second update!
