Beigong Boyu watched Liu Xin slap Niu Fu to death when he raised his hand, scared Li Ru to death, and was already in a state of dissipation, when Beigong Boyu was thinking about how Liu Xin would deal with him, he suddenly heard this call, which was like a thunderclap in a sunny day,

In a hurry, Beigong Boyu had no choice but to kowtow his head "dong dong", and said continuously: "The adult spares the little one, the small one is neither the opponent of the adult, nor can he answer those questions, the adult is really angry, so he cut off the small one's head, don't let the little one suffer those sins, the little one ......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt his shoulders sinking, and the corner of his eyes glanced hurriedly, and he had already seen Liu Xin's hands pressed on his shoulders, and he couldn't say anything more, Beigong Boyu was not a person who was very afraid of death, his backbone was much harder than Niu Fu and Li Ru, he just didn't want to die too ugly like Niu Fu and Li Ru, but Liu Xin's one hand had already made Niu Fu's head bloom, and both hands were pressed at the same time, what kind of result would it be, Beigong Boyu didn't even dare to think about it, so he had to close his eyes helplessly,

Just when Beigong Boyu felt desperate, he suddenly felt that his body was loose, not only Liu Xin's hands had left his shoulders, but even the ropes tied to his body were scattered on the ground.

I only heard Liu Xin say: "Beigong Boyu, you stand up and speak." ”

Beigong Boyu found that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his lower abdomen was also tight for a while, and he was almost about to pee, and when he looked up and saw the three things in the middle, Beigong Boyu knew that the most panicked thing in his heart was that he was worried that he would be eaten by Liu Xin's cooking.

When he got up nervously, he heard Liu Xin say again: "Beigong Boyu, if I remember correctly, you should be the leader of the Qiang tribe." ”

Beigong Boyu didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Xin was selling in this gourd, hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand and said: "Back to my lord, the little one is the leader of the Qiang tribe, but it is only the one who is the leader of the Qiang tribe, so it cannot fully represent the people of the Qiang people, and the small mistakes will be borne by the small one, please don't blame the people of the Qiang people, the little one doesn't dare to ask the adults for forgiveness, just ask the adults to let the little ones die with dignity." ”

Liu Xin unconsciously looked Beigong Boyu up and down a few more times, and said with a smile: "Beigong Boyu, I didn't expect you to be quite a bachelor." ”

Beigong Boyu said puzzledly: "Back to the adult, the little one has already got married, but he is not a bachelor." ”

Of course, Liu Xin's singleness refers to Beigong Boyu who can also be regarded as a good man, so it doesn't mean that he doesn't mean to please his wife, but Liu Xin doesn't want to explain anything to him, just follows his words and says: "Oh, you're already married, okay, when you go back, say hello to your family for me." ”

Beigong Boyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he could be elected as the leader of the Qiang tribes, and naturally he also had some intelligence, how could he not hear the overtones in Liu Xin's words, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Does the adult mean to let go of the small." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "It's not to let you go, but I didn't plan to punish you from the beginning, I also know a thing or two about the situation of your Qiang people, the Qiang people have lived in Liangzhou for generations, and the Han officials have bullied you in the past, until Dong Zhuo was appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou, and it has not changed, this is probably one of the reasons why you are willing to send troops to help Dong Zhuo, but if you think about it carefully, whether it is when Dong Zhuo was the assassin of the history, or other people were officials in Liangzhou, the lives of your Qiang people have improved in the slightest, If you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to Jingnan to see, the barbarian people there used to be similar to your Qiang people, but their current life is compared to you, one in the sky and the other in the ground. ”

Beigong Boyu listened to it, and quickly used his brain, analyzing the true intention of Liu Xin's words, from these words, Beigong Boyu could feel that Liu Xin's goal must be more than just to capture Chang'an, I am afraid that Liu Xin's troops will point to Liangzhou next, Dong Zhuo is dead, and there is no practical point in being loyal to him, and Beigong Boyu has also witnessed the strength of Liu Xin's army, and continues to fight against him, except for vain taking the net worth of the Qiang people, there is no benefit, thinking of this, Beigong Boyu no longer hesitated, knelt down on one knee, hugged his fist at Liu Xin, and said: "Beigong Boyu has thanked the adults for their grace not to kill, but what is the driving force of the adults, Beigong Boyu will never dare to resign, if the adults can trust him, he will persuade the Qiang tribes to go back and take the adults as the leader." ”

Liu Xin didn't expect Beigong Boyu to be so knowledgeable, he was the leader of the Qiang tribes, with his words, the hope of subduing the Qiang tribes naturally increased greatly, however, Liu Xin would not bet all the treasures on Beigong Boyu's promise, he still needed to continue to take some fierce medicine, and completely tied the Qiang tribes with himself, so he nodded and said: "Beigong Boyu, you can think like this, that's the best, to tell you the truth, I have already sent troops to take Xiao Pass, the next step is naturally to march to Xiliang, Dong Zhuo is now almost completely wiped out, Taking Xiliang refers to something that can be waited, you can rest assured, the Qiang tribes are also the people of my Han Dynasty, and I will treat them equally with the Han people, which can be confirmed by the people of all the tribes of the Southern Barbarians. ”

The Qiang people are good, and the Nanban are all ethnic minorities in the Han Dynasty, and they were often oppressed by Han officials in the past, and Liu Xin was able to promise to treat them the same as the Han people, which suddenly made Beigong Boyu overjoyed, which even Dong Zhuo did not do when he was the assassin of Liangzhou.

Beigong Boyu suddenly fell to the ground on all fours, and bowed respectfully to Liu Xin and said: "If the adults can really treat the Qiang people like the Han people, after going back, I will definitely build a shrine for the adults, and sacrifice at four o'clock, praying that my god will protect the safety of the adults." ”

Liu Xin could hear that his words were absolutely from the bottom of his heart, so he quickly helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Beigong Boyu, there is no need for the Jiansheng Ancestral Hall, but I still have one condition." ”

Beigong Boyu leaned over and said, "My lord, please speak." ”

Liu Xin bowed his head and said: "You are the leader of the Qiang tribes, and in the future, you must restrain the tribesmen, and you must no longer gather people as bandits and plunder everywhere." ”

Beigong Boyu's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Back to my lord, I can only guarantee that I will never rebel for the rest of my life, and as for the people of all ministries, I can only try my best to persuade them, but I dare not make a promise to my lord." ”

Liu Xin's face sank, and he said: "The law of my Han is equal to the Han people and the Qiang people, the Han people cannot bully the Qiang people, and the Qiang people must not bully the Han people, whoever dares to make trouble, I will never let it go, you can explain this to them clearly." ”

Beigong Boyu arched his hand and said: "My lord doesn't know, the Qiang tribes have always been half-farming and half-herding, but they mainly rely on grazing for a living, salt, iron, gold, silver, cloth and other items need to be purchased from the Han people, but the imperial court does not allow the Qiang people to trade privately, and when these items are in short supply, they can only be robbed, so even if I am the leader of the various ministries, they will not be banned." ”

In fact, there is a deeper reason for this, the Han Dynasty forbade private transactions between the Han people and various ethnic minorities, the original intention was to better control these ethnic minorities by regulating the supply of salt and iron and other materials, so that they had no choice but to rely on the imperial court, but in the actual operation, a small number of scholar families used their power in the imperial court to monopolize the trade between the Qiang and Han, and the Qiang people lacked gold and silver. In order to appease the Qiang people, they often buy and win over the chiefs of the Qiang tribes, but the interests of the real Qiang people are not guaranteed, and many Qiang people who cannot afford to exchange salt and iron cloth can only meet their needs by plundering the Han people, which further deepens the contradiction between the Qiang and the Han.

Liu Xin also understands these situations, he has always advocated equal trade, and will not tolerate these monopoly phenomena, so he said without thinking: "You can rest assured about this, since the Qiang and Han people are treated equally, of course, including trading, when I control the situation in Liangzhou, I will set up bazaars in various places to let the Qiang people and the Han people trade freely, and you will tell the Qiang tribes when you go back that as long as they raise more cattle, sheep and horses, they don't have to rob, and they can live a good life." ”

Free trade between the Qiang and Han can be realized, which is something that the people of the Qiang tribe have been looking forward to for several lifetimes, but I didn't expect Liu Xin to make a promise easily, which made Beigong Boyu a little impatient, and said in a loud voice: "There is an adult's words, Beigong Boyu still has nothing to worry about, from now on my life is an adult's, as long as the adult explains, Beigong Boyu will go in the water and in the fire, and never frown, Beigong Boyu will go back to Liangzhou, tell the good news to the people of all departments, please let the adults go." ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "What are you doing in such a hurry, it's not too late to leave when the news from Xiao Guan comes over, and then bring your clansmen with you." ”

Beigong Boyu said in surprise: "My lord wants to put my clan back." ”

Liu Xin laughed: "Why, if you don't put them back, will I not be able to raise them for nothing." ”

In the eyes of the Qiang, barbarians, and Huns, captives are slaves, and they will also become their private property, in the eyes of Beigong Boyu, Liu Xin let tribal leaders like them go back, naturally in order to buy the hearts of the tribe through them, and it is impossible for those captives Liu Xin to be released, so he is so surprised,

In the past, Liu Xin was also reluctant to let go of these captives easily, all captives are important resources, and they will be sent to the engineering team to participate in forced labor, Liu Xin is also forced to do this, after all, the Han Dynasty is still in an agrarian society, and the concept of the people has not yet been liberated.

But now the situation is different, the engineering team has grown to 100,000 people, among these people some of the prisoners who voluntarily stayed, and some are ordinary people who have taken the initiative to ask to join, working in the engineering team, and those who have not started a family are one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, and can save a lot of money to keep for the future to marry a daughter-in-law, who have already married a family, and the monthly salary is enough to support the family, and the family members can also follow the engineering team to do some laundry and cooking work, and earn two yuan to supplement the family, and the current engineering team has been quite stable. There is no need to replenish the labor force by sending prisoners over, so there is no need for Liu Xin to continue to keep these prisoners.

Today's good news is one after another, Beigong Boyu no longer knows what to say, and suddenly a soldier outside the door said loudly: "Lord Qi, Xiao Guan is here." ”
