Chapter 1247: Banning Horses and Sealing Troops
This time, Liu Yin summoned the leaders of the Xianbei tribes to gather in Wolf Juxu Mountain, not only to let them watch the ceremony, Liu Yin ordered his subordinates to slaughter cattle and cook sheep, prepare fine wine, put on a feast, and warmly entertain Desert Khan and the chiefs of the tribesmen.

Desert Khan and the others are trembling, unpleasant to eat, now they are prisoners, Liu Yin's big feast, entertaining them with a high standard, but it makes him uneasy, as the saying goes, there is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting, there is no free lunch in this world, Liu Yin's move is bound to have another plan.
Sure enough, Liu Yin proposed an order to ban horses and seal troops at the banquet, which caused an uproar among all the Xianbei people except for Desert Khan.
The reason why Desert Khan was unmoved was because before this, there was such a provision in the surrender agreement reached between him and Liu Yin, and Desert Khan believed that Liu Yin's move was by no means only aimed at his Tuoba tribe, and this ban was bound to be pushed to the entire grassland, thus imprisoning the entire Xianbei people.
At the same time as the ban on horses and the closure of troops, the "reserve" decree was proposed. Liu Yin stipulated that all Xianbei tribes would be demarcated as a fief according to the size of the population as the reserve of the tribe. Once a reserve has been demarcated, all members of the tribe are not allowed to take half a step out of the reserve. The imperial court will also send officials to carry out unified management of the desert, set up fortresses between the various reserves, station soldiers and horses, conduct patrols back and forth, supervise the implementation of the decree banning horses and sealing troops, and severely punish those who violate the prohibition and leave the reservation without authorization.
Whether it is the ban on horses and the law of the reservation, it was immediately opposed by the Xianbei tribes, especially the establishment of the reservation, which made the Xianbei people angry the most, you must know that they are nomads, there is no concept of land, his property is only cattle, sheep, horses and slaves, their way of life is to choose water and grass to live, where the grass grows luxuriant, they move there, in the prairie, they live in no fixed place and are used to wandering freely, and now the Ji Han court implements the reservation decree, That would undoubtedly change the way he lived his life completely.
And the ban on horses and the order of the army is even more difficult for the Xianbei people to accept, the grassland is vast, without horses to ride, their range of activities will become narrow, difficult to walk, without swords and arrows, they can't even deal with the wolves on the grassland.
Tuxi Hu, the head of the Tuxi tribe, was the first to stand up and openly object: "Don't let you ride horses, don't let you use swords and arrows, and don't let us go around, King Yong's move is to kill my Xianbei tribe, and we can't agree." ”
The other leaders are also talking to each other, although no one dares to stand up openly against it like Tu Xihu, but they are also whispering underneath, and opposition is heard one after another.
Only Desert Khan sneered there, these tribal leaders couldn't see the situation clearly at all, with their current situation, were they still qualified to bargain? Being able to live is already a gift from Liu Yin, and if they oppose it, what awaits them is only the landing of their heads.
Desert Khan was naturally too lazy to talk to them, and let them quarrel and shout, and sat there by himself with his eyes closed.
At this time, Chen Shou stood up and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty the Han Dynasty is merciful and can't bear to see the lives ruined, so there is this move, and from then on, the army will be suspended in the desert, and no longer fight." The fiefs to which the ministries belong are a gift from His Majesty, and the vastness of the fiefs is sufficient for the nomadic customs of the ministries to be self-sufficient. Moreover, the imperial court is also sympathetic and generous, whenever there is a disaster and chaos, and the ministries cannot provide for food and clothing, the imperial court will also allocate food and relief to let the ministries tide over the difficulties. If you ignore the grace of God and insist on going your own way, you will not have to obey the decrees of the imperial court, but you will bear all the consequences of this, so I hope you will not make a mistake about yourself. ”
Chen Shou's words were quite an ultimatum, especially the last sentence at his own risk, that is, the threat of Chiguoguo, which made these leaders silent.
Only then did they realize that the reason why they were sitting here today was not in a position of reciprocal status, and that these feasts of wine had deceived their eyes, and that they had the same right to speak as before, and now they realized that they were not qualified to bargain.
However, Tu Xihu, who had been standing there, said unruly: "Horizontal and vertical is death, it's a big deal that you cut off Lao Tzu's head now, and ask Lao Tzu to obey that bullshit decree, don't think about it!" ”
Zhang Le and the others' eyes suddenly became cold, their hands were pressed on the hilt of the sword, this Tu Xi Hu is too presumptuous, what kind of occasion is this, he dares to be so wanton and arrogant, if it wasn't for Liu Yin's prior orders, this Tu Xi Hu would have been a dead person now.
Liu Yin just glanced at him lightly and said, "Since Tu Xitou has no intention of participating in this banquet, then please come and send off guests!" ”
Immediately, someone came to Tu Xi Hu's front and made a gesture of please, Tu Xi Hu snorted heavily, and said, "Don't let Lao Tzu participate, Lao Tzu is not rare, farewell!" After that, Tu Xi Hu didn't make a salute, and swaggered away.
Desert Khan glanced at him coldly, and snorted softly, this Tu Xi Hu, he is usually rude and arrogant, he often didn't put Tuoba in his eyes before, this person was empty-eyed and arrogant, but he didn't know that today he was kicked on the iron plate, Liu Yin was what kind of person, all five Hu were wiped out in a snap of his fingers, a little Tu Xi Hu, He was Liu Yin's opponent, Desert Khan looked at Tu Xi Hu's gaze, as if looking at a dead man.
After Liu Yin expelled Tu Xi Hu, he glanced at everyone present again, and said lightly: "If you have the same opinion as Tu Xi Tou, Liu will not be reluctant, come and go as you please!" ”
The leaders of the Dugu Division, the Helai Division, the Buliu Orphan Division, the Sushen Department and other departments present were all trembling, sweating like pulp, and bowed to the ground: "We are willing to obey the orders of King Yong, and dare not disobey each other." ”
Liu Yin waved his hand and said: "I won't talk about state affairs today, just drink with you, come, we won't get drunk and won't return." Liu Yin raised his glass to invite, although the Xianbei people were unwilling to eat, but they did not dare to disobey, and drank the wine in the cup.
In the next few days, Liu Yin held a banquet every day to invite these Xianbei heads, but above the banquet, he never mentioned the matter of the law, so that these heads were confused, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Yin's gourd.
But Liu Yin didn't say it, they didn't have the courage to ask, and they didn't dare to leave, they were all nervous and uncertain every day.
