Chapter 231: Ambiguity

There is a record in the "Book of Rites" of the Zhou Dynasty in the Book of Rites and the Imperial System - the Chinese Rongyi, the people of the five directions, all have sex and cannot be moved; Dongfang said Yi, who was tattooed, and there were people who did not eat fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The south is barbaric, carved and crossed, and there are people who do not eat fire. In the West, it is said that Rong, who is clothed and skinned, has no grain eaters. In the north, it is said that Di, who lives in caves with clothes and feathers, and there are no grain eaters.

In the Sinocentric view of the world, Xirong and Dongyi, Beidi, and Nanban are collectively called the Four Yi, and the above record basically determines the title of the Chinese state for the surrounding ethnic minorities, and these titles run through the history of China for 5,000 years, and there are many similar names in the history books.

However, Nanban is called a barbarian, which sounds like a kind of barbarian, the kind that can only fight and kill, but Nanban is the oldest native nation in China and even the whole world, and is the creator of the world's rice civilization and marine civilization; inventor of tea, pottery, lacquerware handicrafts; It is also the first nation in the world to carry out goddess sacrifices, and a lot of steel products and white iron products have been unearthed on the site of the Nanban clan, which are also the earliest in the world that have been excavated.

Therefore, although the Nanban was not welcomed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people in the Central Plains thought that they liked to eat raw food, had simple clothes, and did not understand the words of the sage (to put it bluntly, the cultural differences and living habits of the two sides were different), so they forcibly blackened a wave of Nanban people, and as the strength of the Han people in the Central Plains became more and more powerful, and a unified empire was established in the Qin Dynasty, the black name of Nanban could no longer be changed...

In the Han Dynasty, the Nanban clan can be roughly divided into three major clans: Baiyue, Baipu and Bashu, the Baiyue clan is distributed in the vast area south of the Yangtze River, the Baipu clan is distributed in the area of present-day Hunan and Guizhou, and the Bashu clan is distributed in the area of present-day Sichuan and Chongqing, and most of the ethnic minorities in the south today evolved from the Nanban ethnic group and are now mostly distributed in the area of Luzhou, Sichuan.

And now the Nanban of the Bashu family is basically under the control of the Han Dynasty in name, but there are many tribes of the Bashu Nanban who do not really obey the command of the Han court, but are similar to regional autonomy, but when the Han needs mercenaries, the Nanban often provides a large number of high-quality and cheap soldiers, and does not stab the Han in the back.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dominance and control of the Han Dynasty have dropped to an unprecedented low, and because of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty's selling of official positions, the quality of local officials in Yizhou and Jiaozhou is uneven, and they are all greedy for profit, wanting to take some benefits from the Nanban, the result is naturally dissatisfaction with the Nanban, and Yizhou, which was originally relatively stable, has also fallen into turmoil.

However, as mentioned earlier, today's Nanban is more seriously divided, and it is basically independent, unlike the Xiongnu who also has a khan who can rule all the tribes.

Therefore, Chun Yuqiong believes that the number of troops raised by the Nanban is small, and the overall combat power is naturally not as strong as that of other foreign races, and when Liu Xin served as the assassin of Yizhou or the pastor of Yizhou, he must need a person like himself to lead the army, and he will definitely be able to find a good way out under Liu Xin, and he can obtain a lot of foreign combat achievements in Yizhou, which will be of great help to his future promotion.

What's more, Liu Xin's reputation is much better than He Jin's, and he will not attract so much infamy by following Liu Xin, and let the family bear so much pressure for him.

Therefore, Chun Yuqiong now wants to take refuge in Liu Xin more than He Jin.

Of course, Chun Yuqiong will not say how attractive the wine in Liu Xin's mouth is to him.

So, Chun Yuqiong looked at Liu Xin who was smiling, nodded decisively, and said with a smile: "Since Liu Xianshi is so affectionate, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and it is also a great blessing in life to go to Liu Xianshi's mansion to taste the wine today." ”

Liu Xin smiled, sure enough, it is relatively simple to talk to smart people, there is no need to talk so much nonsense, and there is no need to be too straightforward, just click to the end.

In this way, Chun Yuqiong, who slipped through the net, is now also regarded as "throwing himself into the net" and has become Liu Xin's subordinate.

recruited Chun Yuqiong, Liu Xin naturally would not be satisfied, after all, there was still a Feng Ji who did not speak.

Liu Xin gave Yuan Shao a look, but Yuan Shao's reaction was a little strange, and he nodded paradoxically, which made Liu Xin a little unsure of what Yuan Shao meant.

However, since Yuan Shao nodded, it means that Feng Ji did not refuse his offer, so Liu Xin still said: "Brother Yuantu, since Brother Zhong Jian has agreed, then you can also go to the bar with us, and by the way, we will talk about other things." ”

Feng Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded with some hesitation, and said: "Since it is an invitation from Immortal Master Liu, then I naturally have to agree, I will disturb Immortal Master Liu tonight, but the amount of wine is limited, and I will ask Immortal Master Liu to forgive me when the time comes." ”

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, but he knew a little in his heart, why Yuan Shao behaved so strangely just now, it turned out that although Feng Ji did not explicitly refuse, he did not seem to have clearly agreed to his solicitation.

Sure enough, smart people like Feng Ji are just not easy to recruit, after all, these strategists who are famous in the Three Kingdoms are all human spirits, and they are all people with very self-minded ideas.

Of course, the reason why these strategists do this is roughly divided into two types - the first is to raise their value and pretend to be posturing, and they will always pretend to shirk in the face of the first solicitation, so as to enhance their identity, Liu Xin remembers that there seems to be a figure of the Three Kingdoms, that is, he is famous for refusing the solicitation of many people, and of course there are many famous hermits who have left their names in history because of this, such as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Mr. Sima Hui of the Water Mirror, and Guan Ning, who cut off the seat.

There is also a type, that is, the problem of conditions and treatment, to put it bluntly, it is also a matter of position, after all, the literati are light, especially these strategists, who secretly care about their own position, especially the new strategists like Feng Ji, whose position when they join determines the position in the future, so the strategists attach great importance to this "first time".

However, in this regard, as the lord, they all said that they were under a lot of pressure, especially a lord like Liu Xin, who had a lot of talents, wanted to let his talents be in the most suitable position for himself, and then he had to satisfy his talents, which was even more difficult to do, and if one was not handled well, the entire force would fall into civil strife.

Just like Yuan Shao before the Battle of Guandu, none of his advisers obeyed anyone, and then attacked each other for the position they wanted, Tian Feng was imprisoned before the Battle of Guandu, and he was not reused, which is equivalent to Yuan Jun cutting off his arm before the war.

In Liu Xin's opinion, Feng Ji should belong to the second type, after all, it was Yuan Shao who recruited Feng Ji, and he didn't tell Yuan Shao what conditions should be proposed, so Feng Ji is likely to be so ambiguous because he doesn't know what position he will hold under Liu Xin.
