Chapter 071: Internal and External Troubles

When Liu Xiu and Liu He entered the main hall, Lu Min, who was talking to Xie Guanglong cordially, just glanced at him, motioned for him to sit in the vacant seat next to him, and didn't say a word, but Xie Guanglong, who was introducing him to the situation of Juyongguan, stopped the topic with some surprise and turned his head to look at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu had been following behind Lu Min before, no different from others, Xie Guanglong never thought that the position that Lu Min had specially left was actually for him, he always thought that it should be Liu He, the son of Lord Assassin Shi.

Seeing that Xie Guanglong was a little surprised, Lu Min smiled and introduced: "This is my junior brother, Liu Xiu Liu Deran from Zhuo County, this time I took all the young heroes out to visit the fortresses in various places and ask you for advice, which is his suggestion." ”

Lu Min personally introduced Liu Xiu, Xie Guanglong didn't dare to underestimate it, so many scholars and children of big families came to Juyong Pass, which made Xie Guanglong feel very face-saving, and then listened to the suggestion of this young man, he added a little gratitude to be appreciated, and quickly straightened up and gave a salute, and said politely: "It turned out to be Liu Jun, I have been looking up for a long time." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the word "Jiuyang" was really inappropriate.

Liu Xiu didn't laugh, he hurriedly moved two steps to the side, bowed and saluted: "Liu Xiu is white, don't dare to accept the captain's gift." However, Juyong is the best pass in the world, and the captain and all the strong men protect our safety, and they work hard and make great achievements, and they are very admired for their cultivation. He picked up his wine glass and gestured to Xie Guanglong and the several officers who accompanied him, and said very politely: "Dare to use this wine, salute all the strong men." ”

Xie Guanglong was stunned, looked back at those subordinates, and raised his glass in unison: "Thank you Liu Jun." Then he raised his cup and drank it all, Xie Guanglong wiped his messy beard, and his dark face added a bit of brilliance, and he laughed heartily: "Lu Jun is a famous Confucian in the world, but I didn't expect to be so polite to us and other soldiers, I waited for a mouse to jump on the weighing pan, and I didn't know how important it was." Today, please have a drink, there is no Kabuki in this Juyong Pass, we soldiers can only wield swords to kill, and we will not chant poems, so I will tell you about the wild affairs of those Hu people on the grassland, the right to help the fun, the rudeness, and please don't blame you. ”

Liu Xiu and the others have been very interested in hearing Yan Rou's brother talk about the customs of the Hu people on the grassland that day, but they have no place to find someone with the same knowledge as Yan Rou's brothers. Although Lu Min didn't like his rudeness, he was also quite interested in hearing about Hu Ren and didn't stop it.

"Lord Commander has been to Hudi?"

"Hehehe......" Behind Xie Guanglong, a young man who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who seemed a little elegant among the rude officers, laughed softly, and glanced at Xie Guanglong, who was inexplicably excited: "Of course, Lord Du Wei was once a big horse thief on the grassland, with a gust of wind, as famous as the fire clouds, and he also has a nickname, called Amur Guanglong." ”

"Wow-" Zhang Fei, Li Cheng and the others couldn't help but exclaim, they heard Yan Rou mention that there was another big horse thief on the grassland many years ago who screamed a gust of wind, but they didn't expect it to be the man in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he worshiped a little more: "You...... How did you become the captain of Juyong Guan? ”

Na Shuzuo smiled slightly, and then said: "Lord Duwei saw that the strength of the Xianbei people had increased greatly, and they frequently invaded the border of our Han Dynasty, and the border generals were powerless to resist, so he took the initiative to go to the Shanggu Taishou Mansion to ask for help, starting from a border pawn, with a knife and a spear, he has repeatedly made military achievements in the past few years, and became the captain of this Juyong Pass. ”

"Wow—" The teenagers exclaimed even louder.

Xie Guanglong's black face glowed red, waved his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "Okay, okay, that stinky thing doesn't have to be embarrassed in front of you." ”

"It turned out to be a hot-blooded man." Lu Min sighed with emotion, also picked up the wine glass, and signaled to Xie Guanglong, Xie Guanglong was really flattered, he hurriedly raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp, probably a little too excited, his hands were a little trembling, and the wine spilled on his chest.

Liu Bei picked up his wine glass, and left the table almost at the same time as Li Cheng, the two looked at each other, walked up to Xie Guanglong together, and respectfully gave a salute: "Respect to the strong man." ”

Xie Guanglong blinked and drank it all again.

Immediately afterwards, other people also stepped forward to toast, some thanked Guanglong, and some saluted the officers behind him, making these men a little scrambling, smiling together, and not saying any kind words, just drinking glass after glass.

Zhang Fei walked up to the scholar, raised his glass and said with a smile: "The foot is calm, it must be a scholar who has read the book, Zhang Fei of Zhuo County, the word Yide, dare to ask the name of the honorable surname?" ”

Na Shuzuo hurriedly got up, arched his hands in front of his chest, and returned the etiquette of a scholar: "Changshan Zhao Yi, the word Ziheng, is the master of Juyong Guan Duwei, and does some clerical chores beside Lord Xie." ”

Zhang Fei nodded, the two clinked glasses, and then took a sip of the wine in the cup, compared with those officers who raised their necks and drank heavily, these two people were a little more elegant. Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Fei's humble and gentlemanly appearance and was a little funny, but now he was thinking more of that Zhao Yi, he was from Changshan, could he be Changshan Zhao Zilong's family? I'll have to find a chance to ask him later.

After drinking a lot of wine, everyone quieted down and listened to Xie Guanglong explain the things on the grassland. Xie Guanglong has a rough appearance, but he is quite orderly when he speaks, he first talked about the things on the grassland in recent years, and finally analyzed that the reason why the Xianbei people have been able to occupy the homeland of the Huns for more than ten years and become a nightmare on the border of the Han Dynasty has many reasons:

One is a heroic man like Tan Shi Huai, this person is not only outstanding in martial arts, rare opponents, but also resourceful, and good at employing people, there is a group of tribal leaders who can conquer and fight, so they can unify the desert in less than ten years, and it can be said that it is comparable to the Hun King Mao Dun in general.

At the same time as the rise of the Xianbei people, the Han Dynasty has been unstable in recent years, and natural disasters are frequent, and he is very vague about it, and he does not name names, but everyone can hear that it refers to relatives and eunuchs fighting for power and profit. He said that the Han Dynasty was unstable, a large number of people outflowed, including a large number of craftsmen, they brought all kinds of technology to the Xianbei people in the interior, especially the technology of creating weapons and armor, which helped a lot when the Xianbei people rose, although these people were also low-status slaves on the grassland, but they were valued much better than in the Han Dynasty, at least food and clothing were not worried, because the Hu people knew that with them they had better weapons and armor, and they could give themselves a few more chances of survival.

In addition to the craftsmen, the scholars who brought greater help to the Xianbei people were those who were forced to escape by the party, and the vast majority of them were able to uphold the distinction between Huayi and Yi, and did not work for the Hu people, but the shameless behavior of a few scholars had a very bad impact. Originally, the Hu people were still brave and ruthless, and they were not good at strategy, but now with these scholars, they are not only good at fighting, but also become more cunning, using the fast marching ability of the cavalry to attack the various states and counties on the border of the Han Dynasty out of nowhere, so that the Han cannot deal with it.

"It is said that there are many such people under Tanshi Huai." Xie Guanglong finally said to Lu Min with a somewhat complicated gaze: "After Lu Jun arrives in Shanggu, he may have the opportunity to hear more news about him. ”

Lu Min frowned, his mood was very heavy, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

Liu Xiu was a little puzzled by Xie Guanglong's words, Shanggu County has Hu City, but Hu City is in Ningcheng, it is the residence of Captain Wuhuan, and it is close to the border, why didn't Xie Guanglong talk about Ningcheng, but when he talked about Shanggu, could it be that he was referring to Shanggu County's governance of Fuyang? It is not surprising that Hu people appear in Fuyang, even Zhuo County has Hu merchants, but if there is a big man among the Hu people, it will be a little incredible. First, it is a great achievement to catch such a big person, which is enough to make many people blush, and second, if people know that such a big man often haunts the area under his jurisdiction, it will be difficult for the local governor to escape responsibility, and he may even lose his surname.

Could it be that Gongsha, who has a family heirloom, is too guarded to cooperate with the enemy?
