"Brother Tuoba, why do you ask this?" Zhao Yuan was happy when he heard it, "Didn't you listen to one or two of my words and move your mind?" I don't want to look down on Xianbei, but Shouyi is such a character, I don't know how many princes and nobles in the capital are beating his idea, where is your turn. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Yuan said without scruples, if others said so, Tuoba Yulu would definitely feel that this was sarcastic about himself, because he and other frontier clans, when facing the Central Plains Dynasty, he always had a lingering inferiority complex, and he was particularly sensitive to similar things.

But Zhao Yuan has no scruples, he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to think so much, so Tuoba Yulu also smiled without any worries: "How dare you hope extravagantly?" It's just that there is a beauty who wants to give it to Chen Taile, this is a person who respects Taile, and he really wants to make friends. ”

When Zhao Yuan heard this, he stroked his palm and smiled: "If you respect him, you will give him a beauty, hahaha!" It's so funny! It's a pity, his daughter is beautiful, but he can't find his own lover, for a regret, but keep a hero, if he has to be attached, and for luck, between blessings and misfortunes, who can say? Wonderful! ”

Chen Zhizi wanted to shirk, but he knew that because of the limitations of the times, from the perspective of later generations, there were many disrespectful behaviors for women at this time, but he didn't think it was strange in the spirit of historical idealism, materialism, and righteousness.

However, listening to Zhao Yuan's words, Chen Zhi was also a little surprised, this rumored Luoyang love saint was denounced as a cancer by many celebrities of etiquette, but unexpectedly, in the heart of this person, he has a lot of respect for women, of course, after all, he can't avoid the limitations of the times and classes.

He thought about it here, and the two of them talked a lot more, and when they talked about such a topic, the relationship between the three of them couldn't help but become closer, and there were even servants who brought melons, fruits and wine, and a few people drank it, which was quite enjoyable.

As he spoke, the topic unconsciously touched on the side and touched on the war in northern Xinjiang.

This is also the relationship between the three of them, it is indeed closer, otherwise Tuoba Yulu as a foreign envoy and Chen Zhi as a new Han courtier, such a problem must be avoided to prevent the envoy from giving birth to other thoughts in his heart.

Even so, when talking, there is a lot of restraint.

Tuoba Yulu first mentioned it was the Xiongnu envoys.

"I heard that the envoy of the Huns hated Chen Jun, and offended the majesty of the kingdom, was arrested and placed under house arrest, so far not out, a certain family thought that this move was very good, the fierceness of the Huns has not changed, do not know the respect of the etiquette of Zhuxia, if it is shown to be courteous, he will think that it is cowardly, so arrogant and proud, if it is pressed by the sword, but know that it is powerful, and can recognize the dignity and inferiority."

When he mentioned the Huns, although he did not grit his teeth, the hostility outside his words could not be hidden.

In the end, he even suggested: "Chen Jun, since you have good connections, you should detain the Xiongnu envoys all the time, otherwise if you release them, it will be difficult to ensure that they will not do something during the ceremony." Obviously, Tuoba Yulu heard some rumors, and really thought that Chen Zhi contacted the upper and lower levels, and put the Xiongnu envoys under house arrest with amazing connections.

Chen Zhi couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that he was about to become a back-handed man, but if someone wants to make the Huns suffer, let themselves take the blame, fortunately, there are a lot of benefits for the country, which means that there are constantly people in the Lieqing who owe favors to others, and there is nothing to see at the moment, but once someone wants to move themselves, it can be revealed.

Of course, the premise is that your own behavior will not affect the interests of all parties, otherwise a little favor will not be used.

Chen Zhi thought so, but he still had to make it clear, so as to save this international friend from thinking of some unrealistic things. If you put forward a dilemma and then refuse, it will seem to be a raw matter.

"The matter of the Huns, weighed for the princes of the country, this is the decision, how can Chen Mou, where can he intervene, but it is just the right time, and this matter involves peace and war on both sides, and it is not easy to persecute too much, but the Tuoba brothers, your tribe and the Huns have a lot of resentment, this time in the capital, you have to restrain a little." Chen Zhi was outspoken, and he also said something sober, although it seemed to be shallow and profound, but it was actually just right.

When Tuoba Yulu heard this, he no longer dwelled on the matter of the Xiongnu's house arrest, but instead mentioned the murderous nature of the Xiongnu, and talked about the perverse behavior of the state.

In the middle of the conversation, news suddenly came, saying that the Hun envoys had been released, which made the atmosphere of the dialogue awkward for a while, but fortunately, Zhao Yuan was playing haha on the side, and finally passed by.

Then, this topic continued on top of the Xiongnu evil, but Chen Zhi gradually asked questions, asking about some things when Xianbei attacked the Xiongnu, but it was not a tactic of attack, and it was biased towards the details of the details.

Although Tuoba Yulu is good friends with Zhao Yuan, and he also has the heart to make friends with Chen Zhi, but in the end, there is the caution and vigilance of the nobles of the border subordinates, so most of the details of the soldiers and horses and the details of the tactics are vague to prevent people from peeking into the reality of the tribe.

Tuoba Yulu didn't dare to underestimate Chen Zhi's ability to know soldiers.

The reason why he wanted to see Chen Zhi and behaved quite respectfully was actually because of the "Theory of the Six Kingdoms".

This article made by Chen Zhi in Qingzhou was transmitted to all parts of northern Xinjiang, and was obtained by Xianbei, and almost every tribe respected it, and when the envoys of the various ministries set off, Chen Zhi's name was already known to all ages.

A person who can write such a profound article, how dare Tuoba Yulu despise it, otherwise he would not have asked to see Chen Zhi as soon as he arrived, and there is also a discussion on the armor in the "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms", with only a few sentences, but it is to the point, Tuoba Yulu knows that Chen Zhi is a person who knows soldiers, so he has to be wary of this.

Fortunately, when Chen Zhi inquired, the focus was no longer on the tactics of soldiers and horses, but on the things at the corners, such as the style of the bone arrowhead [zú], the weight of the iron arrowhead, the iron knife, and so on.

"Ask this, it should be more curious, this Chen Zhi Chen Shouyi, is a well-read and strong person, can know so much, in addition to reading more, when he encounters something of interest, he will definitely ask more and think more."

Thinking so, Tuoba Yulu replied with the trend, as if to confirm his thoughts, and then Chen Zhi extended from the topic and asked about some interesting stories about Xianbei on the grassland.

Tuoba Yulu finally put his mind at ease and affirmed his conjecture, this living by water and grass sounds pleasant, but every migration is actually a difficult adventure, life is not easy, and it is even more boring to say.

This conversation didn't end until nightfall, Tuoba Yulu still had him to go to a banquet in the evening, and Chen Zhi also said goodbye to Zhao Yuan under the pretext of being busy with government affairs.

When he returned to the yamen of the Taile Department, so that the errand officers and soldiers who saluted did not need to be polite, Chen Zhi came to the study of the secretary's office, took out pen and ink, and recorded some key points about what he asked today.

When he finished writing, he pondered under the lamplight, recalling some historical records that he had pieced together from the collection of several yamen and liantongxin, and these records were about Xianbei.

People from later generations, how can they not know the name Xianbei, thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, that is, many people who return textbook knowledge to their teachers, can also say the name of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and know the emperor's sinicization.

"Tuoba Yulu, should be the ancestor of Emperor Xiaowen, and in the original history, Tuoba Xianbei is a name that cannot be bypassed at all, and even influenced the subsequent history of China, even now, the Xianbei departments can not be ignored, let alone underestimated, the future may grow into, no, it has become enough to affect the situation, a decisive force."

Chen Zhi also took time to receive Xianbei envoys when he was so busy, precisely because he knew the meaning of this name.

Thinking of this, he wrote four words on the paper, "Xianbei" on one side and "Xiongnu" on the other.

Tuoba Xianbei originated in the northeast, also known as other Xianbei, "Book of Wei" said that this Xianbei "the north of the secluded capital, the wilderness of the desert, animal husbandry migration, shooting and hunting for the industry".

Chen Zhi is not interested in the origin of Xianbei, but pays more attention to its practical significance.

Tuoba Xianbei from the northeast to Hexi, experienced two or three times of the great migration, during the seven points of the country, so that the brothers each regent, is divided into their clans, there was a prototype of the tribal alliance, until the Cao Wei period, Tuoba Liwei reigned, suppressed the interior, sacrificed to consolidate power, prestige spread far and wide, only to really let the Tuoba clan obtain the leading power of the alliance, to the position of hereditary leader, the whole tribe also began to develop rapidly, many tribes of the grassland have come to vote.

In this case, whether it is the two northern countries during the Three Kingdoms period, or the new Han Dynasty today, it is impossible to ignore such a force in the north, so the two sides strengthened exchanges, after Liu Yuan became independent, it was even closer, during which Tuoba Xianbei attacked many times and broke through the Xiongnu city from time to time.

Just before the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, Liu Yuan's rise had been completed, and Tuoba Xianbei united with Liu Kun and others to defeat Baibu Xianbei and Tiefu Xiongnu, and coerced the border cities of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, and it was Tuoba Yulu who led the army.

"This force should not be underestimated, and because of the cover of the Xiongnu Han State, the imperial court does not have much vigilance against Xianbei, even if there is, it is beyond the reach of the whip, last year Tuoba Yulu broke through the two clans, led 20,000 cavalry, this is 20,000 cavalry, and so on, plus other soldiers and horses, just Tuoba Xianbei one, can raise 100,000 troops! The more than 400,000 string-controlling knights in his Tuoba Yu Lu's mouth are probably not just an exaggeration. ”

Under the lights, Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, considering the combat effectiveness of this 100,000-strong army.

"According to Tuoba Yulu, the bone axe has been gradually eliminated, and the use of iron arrowheads and iron knives has gradually increased, indicating that the degree of social development has almost gotten rid of slavery, and the improvement of social structure and organization means that the mobilization power is higher, and there are more copper ornament needles, copper buckles, rings, bells and other things in the clan, and there are iron knives, iron spears, iron belt hooks, iron horse bits, etc., which shows that copper and iron smelting is developed, and economic exchanges with surrounding tribes are frequent."

The lights shone on his face, and Chen Zhi shook his head slightly.

"Politically stable, organizationally perfect, relatively developed in smelting, abundant in military personnel, and economically vibrant, this has become the climate!"

With his sigh, time passed, and finally the day of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony came.
