Chapter 013: Xianbei Sandalwood Acacia
As soon as Hu Ren was mentioned, Gongsun Zhan's gentleness just now suddenly disappeared, he was angry, waved his arms, and almost scolded: "These Hu dogs are born barbarians, they don't know etiquette, righteousness and loyalty, no matter how good they are, it's in vain." Over the years, not only have the Xianbei people invaded every year, but even the Wuhuan people who have received countless relief from my Han are not a good thing, and they will come to loot at the first opportunity, either on their own, or together with the Xianbei people, it is really hateful, and not killing is not enough to relieve the anger in their hearts......"
Not only Lu Min was surprised, but even Liu Bei and Liu Xiu were a little surprised. Gongsun Zhan gave them a very good impression before this, although he was a little arrogant, but on the whole he was still polite, he was beautiful, he was a handsome young man, why was he so angry when he mentioned Hu Ren, and he was so angry that he was like a bull whose head was kicked in the vital part?
Although Gongsun Chan was angry at the mention of Hu Ren, he was not only angry, but he quickly taught people his ability. He described to Lu Min in detail the previous invasions of Liaoxi by the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people in the past ten years, including the direction of their attacks and the distribution of troops, who led the troops, what changes in the style of each person led the troops, and every time there were any losses in Liaoxi, he could clearly explain it clearly, and even the things of a few years ago were in front of him, as if he had an account in front of him.
Liu Xiu and the others were almost dumbfounded, their impression of Gongsun Zhan had changed greatly, Lu Min's eyes showed appreciation, Liu Bei was almost adoring, and Liu Xiu was also emotional. He originally thought that Gongsun Chan was an unsuccessful martial artist, but he took advantage of the troubled times to gamble, and now it seems that Gongsun Chan can not only lead troops to fight, but also have a set of literary aspects, even in the peaceful and prosperous times, it should not be a problem to be a Taishou with his ability.
Prejudice kills people. For the first time, Liu Xiu felt that he was a little unincomprehensible, and he was glad that he did not have a bad relationship with Gongsun Zhan.
Lu Min listened carefully, and finally asked, "Bo Jue, in your opinion, what is the reason why this Xianbei person is so arrogant?" ”
Gongsun Chan blurted out: "It's not those scholars who read stupidly are harmed." As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, looked at Lu Min with some embarrassment, coughed twice in disguise, and lowered his head.
Lu Min smiled disapprovingly and explained softly, "Do you have an opinion on the court's pacification strategy?" ”
"Hmm." Gongsun Zhan nodded, and saw that Lu Min was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "These Hu people are barbaric, they don't know the thing of gratitude, and they want to rely on benevolence to inspire them, I think it has little effect." The former envoy of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zhang Junran Ming was so good to them, have they ever restrained themselves? It's just that they look down on my Han people more and more, and they are even more arrogant. The court sent people to make peace, but they were humiliated by the sandalwood acacia, and they led a large army into the fortress that year, and plundered a lot of money. In his humble opinion, the court's strategy of appeasing and clearing customs was just a waste of money and meat to feed wolves, and in vain let these dogs take countless salts and fine iron, and their minions became sharper. ”
He paused for a moment, then glanced at Lu Min again and said: "In addition, in recent years, there have often been people who have escaped from the fortress, and it is said that some people have become lackeys of the Xianbei people for their own selfish interests, teaching them military books and war strategies, and telling them the mountains and rivers of my Han land. With the help of these beasts, the Xianbei people are even more comfortable and difficult to deal with. ”
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this is probably the so-called Han Annihilation, and it turns out that people who read the books of sages and sages also do Han Annihilation. He secretly glanced at Lu Min, and saw that Lu Min's brows were slightly furrowed, and his face was not very good. After a while, Lu Min asked again, "What do you know about that sandalwood locust?" ”
"I don't know much, it's just some hearsay, and most of it is exaggerated and untrue." Gongsun Zhan shook his head and said with some disdain: "Hu Gou doesn't know the height of the sky, but there is a person with a little talent, so he added countless false words and praised him to the sky, in fact, in my opinion, he is at most a character like Mao Dun and Yi Zhixi, and he is still a talent among the barbarians. ”
Gongsun Zhan then said something about this Xianbei king Tanshi Huai. This man is a wild seed who can't tell the way from, his father is called Touluhou, and he has been a mercenary among the Huns for three years, and when he returned, he found that his wife had given birth to a son of unknown origin, of course, he was furious, so he threw him away. This kid has been herding cattle and sheep before he grew up to fourteen or fifteen, once a group of horse thieves came, and snatched all his cattle and sheep, this kid was angry, and actually chased after them and killed all these horse thieves.
It didn't take long for the deer marquis to die inexplicably, and Tanshi Huai naturally inherited his people, and since then he has been out of control, and in five or six years, he has subdued more than a dozen large and small tribes, and has become a king, and has set up a royal court in Danhan Mountain, which is less than 200 miles away from the Han realm, and blatantly against the Han people. The court was overwhelmed, I don't know which guy had a bad idea, and he re-proposed the policy of harmony, to marry a princess to Tan Shi Huai, hoping that he could be stable and not make trouble every year, but Tan Shi Huai humiliated the messenger, but robbed it even more.
What makes people even more angry is that the powerful Han Dynasty bowed to him, bringing him greater fame, not only more and more Xianbei people gathered under his tent, but even the Huns and Wuhuan people were eyebrow-raising and secretly communicating with him. Tanshi Huai's power is greater, more and more indispensable, these years are almost a year is not empty, as soon as winter comes, and the soldiers are divided into several ways, which makes people unguardable. He also divided the vast grassland in the north into three parts, from the east of the right Beiping to the east of Liaodong, the west of the right Beiping to the upper valley as the middle, and the west of the upper valley as the west.
Lu Min's brows became more and more wrinkled, although he was from Zhuo County, he had been an official in the field with his father Lu Zhi very early, he only knew that Xianbei had been powerful over the years, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. He had also heard about Gongsun Zhan's very angry scholar who went out to help the Xianbei people, but there were some reasons why he didn't want to tell Gongsun Zhan.
Since the rise of Emperor Guangwu, flaunting the fame, encouraging morality, learning from the scriptures, the scholars raised their eyebrows, but the good times did not last long, from Emperor Zhang, first the relatives were in power, and then the eunuchs were added, and they fought for power and profit, and the scholars who should have governed the country were squeezed aside. Of course, the scholars were not satisfied, and they continued to fight, but they were ashamed to say that although they had read a belly of books, these were not the opponents of their relatives and eunuchs, and they were repeatedly defeated. In the past ten years, even bad luck has been lost, and the two party rules have greatly damaged the vitality of the readers, and those who were originally high-spirited and scholars have been closed and died, and there are not a few who have escaped from the pass as Gongsun Chan said.
As a member of the scholars, although Lu Min does not like those scholars who discuss the government and politics and gather people at every turn, in general, he still sympathizes with the blows suffered by the scholars in these years, and he will not hate those who have escaped from the jam as Gongsun Zhan. However, he refused to tolerate these people's behavior of helping the Xianbei people to invade the Han realm. Extenuating circumstances, unforgivable. In order to save his life, he fled to Hudi, how could he help the Hu people kill the Han people in turn? As soon as he thought of these scum among the readers, Lu Min felt a fever on his face and felt uncomfortable.
The topic was too heavy, and several people fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. In the end, it was Lu Min who reacted first, thanked Gongsun Zhan, and finally left Liu Xiu.
