The mare's milk wine was extremely fishy, even Xiao Ling frowned, not to mention Zhang Rong and Zhang Lihua, who were happy but drank deliciously. After all, because of the professional relationship in the previous life, snakes, rats, ants, scorpions, grass roots and bark, I am happy that I have not eaten anything, compared to those, mare's milk wine is a delicacy.

"Brother Chu Cai, I don't know what happened to you going south to the Central Plains this time?" The weather is still a bit cold now, and it is obviously not a good time to visit the mountains and rivers.

"Alas-" Dahe Chucai sighed, poured a sip of mare's milk wine, and said with a gloomy face: "Senior brother, I can't hide it, I came to the Central Plains this time, one is to seek medical treatment, and the other is to apprentice. ”

"Seeking medical attention?" Happy frowned slightly, and said with some doubts.

"Yes!" There was a deep worry in Dahe Chucai's eyes: "My father is the chief of the Dahe tribe, and he has always been kind and generous, and he is deeply loved by the clansmen. However, for some reason, a month ago, my father suddenly fainted and did not wake up until three days later. ”

Oha Chucai's tone was a lot heavier: "After waking up, my father is still sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and he can't properly handle the affairs of the tribe, which is extremely detrimental to the development of the tribe." ”

And after waking up, my father's heart changed greatly, and he became extremely irritable and cruel, and he was murderous. The few careless servants of the subordinates will be scolded and beaten by him, and many people will die because of this, even I, as a son, have to be careful. ”

"My father was seriously ill, so he was naturally no longer suitable for the position of chief, but the uncles of the Oga family who were qualified to inherit his position were arguing endlessly, and they were even more fighting. However, most of these people are mediocre and selfish, and if the fate of our clan falls into their hands, I am afraid of the disaster of the extinction of the Wang clan! Saying this, Dahe Chucai stopped, his fists clenched, and there was both helplessness and annoyance in his eyes.

"Does Brother Chu Cai suspect that Ling Zun's illness has another hidden secret?" Happy leaned closer and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Dahe Chucai trembled, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he didn't answer, which was tantamount to acquiescing in the matter.

He nodded happily and said, "Then what is the purpose of Brother Chu Cai, where are you going to find a famous doctor?" ”

Dahe Chucai replied in a low voice: "I heard that there is a divine doctor in Jiangling City who is known as the King of Medicine, and his medical skills are unparalleled, I am planning to go to Jiangling City this time, hoping to ask for a divine doctor to heal my father's patients." ”

"Gangneung?" Happy eyes lit up.

Dahe Chucai looked happy in surprise, and was about to ask a question, but happy said: "Brother Chucai, I am also preparing to go to Jiangling and my party, and I happen to be on the same road with you, I hope you don't dislike it!" ”

"What did Brother Gao say!" Dahe Chucai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You and I don't know each other, but it's also fate." It's best to go all the way together, not to mention that I can ask you for advice! ”

"Then thank you Brother Chucai!" Happy suddenly smiled happily.

"You and my brother, you're welcome!" Dahe Chucai raised the skin bag and signaled that he was happy to drink together, and the two drank a breath and looked at each other and laughed for a while.

Happy stuffed a piece of horse meat into his mouth, chewed it, and asked: "Brother Chu Cai wants to apprentice but wants to learn amazing martial arts, is there a candidate in his heart?" ”

Dahe Chucai's face became a little serious and solemn when he heard this, and he shook his head and said: "I didn't come here to learn martial arts, but I have always come to the Central Plains to learn how to revitalize my Khitan clan." The life of my clan is really hard! Dahe Chucai's eyes flashed with thick bitterness and helplessness, and he took a sip of wine, and his rapid movements made him cough violently, and his red cheeks were as red as blood.

Although I have never been to Saibei, I know a lot about the current situation of the Khitan. At this time, the Khitan was far from being as strong as in later generations, it was just a small tribe, cowering in the north of Yingzhou, not only to be enslaved by the grassland overlord Turks, but also to guard against the annexation of Kumoxi, and to be despised by the Northern Qi, the situation can be said to be quite embarrassing. How can the small tribe that survives in the cracks not be bitter?

Happy asked strangely: "Brother Chu Cai, how can you see that there is a way to revitalize the Khitan clan in the Central Plains?" ”

Dahe Chucai said: "My aunt once said that the Han people can defeat the Xiongnu who were once prosperous, and they will definitely be able to defeat the invincible Turks, and if you want to revitalize the Khitan people and no longer endure the enslavement of the Turks, the only way to learn the culture of the Han people is to learn the Han people's culture." ”

"Your aunt?" Happy's eyes widened in surprise.

"My aunt's name is Dahe Feiyan, although she is a daughter, she has great ambitions and does not let her eyebrows. She has been practicing the art of riding and archery since she was a child, and she is bent on strengthening our people. But after all, her personal strength is limited, and no matter how strong she is, it will not be of much help to the entire Khitan clan. Later, she left home and went south to the Central Plains, and she went for ten years. ”

"Ten years later, my aunt returned from school, and I planned to use what I learned in ten years to help my father develop our clan, but in the end she broke up with the family because of one thing, and since then she left home and never came back."

"But in the past ten years, I have studied Han culture day and night, but the more time passes, the more I feel that the culture of the Han people is broad and profound, and I am afraid that I will only learn the surface of my life. But I have never been able to find a way to make my people prosperous and strong, and my people can only rely on others to live by snorting. Dahe Chucai looked at the pleasure seriously and asked solemnly.

happily raised his skin, took a sip of mare's milk wine, and then said: "Brother Chu Cai, look, since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, for more than two hundred years, there have been endless wars between various ethnic states, and there have been frequent changes of dynasties. The root cause is that their ruling class has not followed the trend of history. ”

What do you mean by that? Please also make it clear! Oha Chucai sat up straight suddenly, and said in a sincere and eager tone.

After a pause, he happily sorted out his language, and then said: "Brother Dahe should know that my Han nationality is far superior to the ethnic minorities in the north in terms of culture and population. After years of conquest and attack, the grudges accumulated between the various ethnic groups are very deep. However, the nation, as the ruling class, after the conquest by force, does not alleviate these contradictions, but exacerbates and catalyzes these contradictions. ”

"For more than 200 years, although the wars of various ethnic groups have not stopped, and the people's lives have suffered greatly, this is the process of national integration, the inevitable trend of history, and it is unstoppable.

Dahe Chucai's brows furrowed, and he couldn't fully understand what Xing said for a while. The so-called authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, and the bystanders are traversers, and the perspective from which they look at the problem is much higher than that of Dahe Chucai.

Seeing that Oga Chucai was still incomprehensible, he continued happily: "The regimes of the ethnic minorities themselves do not have complete political and social theories, so it is very difficult for them to rule the vast number of Han people whose education level is much higher than their own. The best way is to learn Han culture and integrate into Han culture. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty did a good job of this, but while the ruling class accepted the Han culture, it learned more about the decadent lifestyle of the Han scholar class, arrogant and extravagant, absurd and brutal, and brutally exploited the people under his rule, which led to the final collapse of the Northern Wei regime. ”

"The policy implemented by Zhou Guo now seems to be different from what Brother Gao said?" Dahe Chucai said suspiciously.

"Haha......" laughed happily and drank all the mare's milk wine in the skin, and said: "It's just Hu and Sinicization!" ”

Seeing that Dahe Chucai was even more puzzled, he happily explained lightly: "Brother Dahe, think about it, the policy of the Zhou State, except for the appearance of surnames, clothing and military titles, what is Huhua?" In terms of politics, culture and other deeper policies, the fundamental point of these countries is sinicization! ”

"Sinicization!" The two words exploded in Dahe Chucai's ears like spring thunder, making him shake all over, and the two words were blank in his mind. Suddenly, all the fog disappeared in an instant.

For eleven years, I have been reading through the Han classics, and I have been looking for ways to make my people strong, but I have always been vague. Now it is encapsulated by Wang Shubao's simple two words, and for a while, the feeling of relief and loss surged into Dahe Chucai's heart, which is very complicated.

Dahe Chucai stood up suddenly, tidied up his clothes, and then bowed down in front of Xing with a respectful face, and said gratefully: "Today, I have heard the good words of Brother Jin Yu, my clan is expected to prosper, your great kindness and great virtue, Dahe Chu is unforgettable, but in the future, if you have a request, Dahe Chu will definitely go to the soup and fire, and never give up!" ”

"Poof", the wine in his happy mouth spurted out at once, he coughed, got up quickly, came to Dahe Chucai's side and helped him up and said: "Brother Dahe, how can this be done, the younger brother just said a thing that everyone knows, how can he afford such a big gift from you?" ”

Dahe Chucai suddenly straightened up, his eyes looked at him with pleasure, and he said with some displeasure: "Senior brother's words are wrong. Although Chu Cai is not a smart and witty person, but he is not a dull fool, what you said Chu Cai is indeed the first time I have heard it, how can everyone in the world know it? Didn't my brother humiliate me? ”

smiled happily and hurriedly said: "No, no, Gao has no such intention, Brother Dahe must not be strange." ”

Dahe Chucai showed a smile on his face and said: "Brother Guan Gao is a man of life, humble and polite, frank and sincere, Chu Cai understands that Brother Gao will not make fun of Chu Cai. But what Brother Gao said is really precious to my Khitan clan, if he prosperss in my Khitan clan, Brother Gao will be the benefactor of my whole clan! My Great Congratulations Chucai is too light, and it is simply insignificant compared to your kindness! Saying that, Dahe Chucai bowed down again, sincere and respectful.

happily and helplessly accepted a salute, and said in his heart: It's not okay to be modest, it seems that you can't get home in Han culture! The Turks were too arrogant, and it didn't hurt to make the Khitan strong at all. But even though I've told you the crux of the matter, can you do it? Moreover, national integration is not an overnight affair, and it is bound to be full of difficulties.

However, Dahe Chucai is different from ordinary barbarians, polite, frank and honest, and sincere to others, but he is a good friend. And make friends with it, and I am happy to buy a large number of excellent war horses and have a considerable discount.

After a short break, everyone set out on the journey again. After all, although the Khitan is still very weak, the Hu people are still very respected in Northern Qi, and the officials do not dare to offend easily, and the Jiangyang thieves do not want to fight with them, and the scimitars of a hundred Khitan warriors are not ornaments.
