Lu Bu is in Chang'an, and between the Kanto heroes, they secretly compete with each other in the air, going back and forth, it is already autumn to winter, winter to spring solstice, and it is the spring breeze of the year to send warmth.

The spring of the second year of Xingping (195) is destined to begin with silence, but no one can predict whether it will end in silence.

Although Yuan Shao sent a special envoy to Chang'an to pay homage and offered Jizhou taxes to show his recognition of the imperial court, he politely declined the proposal of the chariot general Lu Bu to make him a lieutenant, and also politely declined the proposal to make him a general.

With him so exemplary, most of the others refused, only Qingzhou Mu Kongrong, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Taishan Taishou Yingshao, and Sun Ce, who accepted the official position of the imperial court, and even Gongsun Zhan, who was trapped in Yijing by Yuan Shao's army, refused very hard.

After conquering Chang'an, the commander of Han Sui's army in Jincheng, Lu Bu, the general of the chariot cavalry, originally thought that after the beginning of spring, he could take a break and go to the Southern Xiongnu Meiji Meidi, but as soon as he had this initiative, he was dissuaded by a group of subordinates, including Jia Xu and Xu Shu, which made him extremely depressed.

The reason is very strong, the current Chang'an, is no longer the original Chang'an, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are stationed here, and the court is also full of courtiers who are "hostile" to the Bingzhou army, Lu Bu as the commander of the Bingzhou army, if he does not sit in Chang'an, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will take advantage of this to make some trouble.

This made Lu Bu very depressed, speechless, and helpless.

At this point, he realized that the greater the power in his hands, the higher the status, the heavier the responsibility on his shoulders, and in some ways, the less space he can do as he wants.

Therefore, you are the Son of Heaven, and the power is overwhelming, and the scope of its activities. Most of the time, they are confined to the deep palace, and it is difficult to enjoy the joy of flying freely between heaven and earth.

Sighing and sighing, Lu Bu was unanimously opposed by all his subordinates, so he could only continue to sit in Chang'an in a depressed manner, and the subduing operation against the Southern Xiongnu could only be handled by his powerful subordinates.

The overall strategy is very simple to say, that is, salute first and then soldier.

Xu Shu represented the general Lu Bu and sent an envoy to Meiji. Shouldering the heavy responsibility of surrendering the army without a fight, if the old Wang Qiang, the current agent of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, does not know the current affairs, Xu Huang, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao will lead the three-way army to attack, and the Southern Xiongnu will not be satisfied.

The Southern Xiongnu is in the position. Originally, it was Qiangqu, and later the imperial court sent the Southern Xiongnu elite cavalry to participate in the counterinsurgency. Caused a rebellion in the Southern Xiongnu. Shan Yu Qiangqu was killed, and his sons Fu Luo Han and Hu Ququan led the army to live in the Han court, and the Marquis of Subu Gu was established as Shan Yu.

After only a year's work, the Marquis of Subu Gu died of illness, and the old Wang Qiang was acting as an agent of Shan Yu, and Yu Fuluo sought help from the imperial court. coincided with the death of Emperor Ling, and the court was too busy to take care of itself, so naturally no one took care of the Southern Xiongnu, let alone Yu Luo.

Huvro was cornered. Led the army to defect to the white wave thief Guo Tai, plundered in Hedong, and then together with Guo Tai, united Li Dao and Guo Yan, entered Luoyang, and became a great hero, with the support of Li Dao, Guo Tai and others, and his position was finally recognized by the imperial court.

It's just that when he led the army from Hedong to return to Meiji, the column plundered in Hedong, and also kidnapped Cai Yan, was hit by Lu Bu's strong blow, and died on the spot, his son Liu Bao was also killed by Lu Bu, only his brother Hu Ququan, led a dozen horses to flee in panic, and the Southern Xiongnu elite cavalry who had been exiled was almost all folded in the hands of Lu Bu.

Since then, the position of the Southern Xiongnu has been vacant until now.

There is such a feud between the cavalry general Lu Bu and the Southern Xiongnu, and now Lu Bu is the actual controller of the Han Dynasty, sitting in Guanzhong and Merging Prefecture, has formed a situation of encirclement of Meiji, and when facing the Xianbei tribes entrenched outside the Yanmen Pass, it is also a remarkable victory, there are so many factors, even if he is cautious about Jia Xu, he is also quite confident in forcing the Southern Xiongnu to submit.

Xu Shu was also an envoy of the Han Dynasty and a special envoy of the cavalry general Lu Bu, and led the delegation to Meiji, but it was a big event.

Today's Han Dynasty, although it has long ceased to be the strong and prosperous expelled from the Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu, but it is even more difficult to mention the strong and brave ancestors of the year, under the squeeze of Xianbei and the Han Dynasty, they can only retreat in the Hetao area, carefully guarding this Zuihou homeland.

After entering the city of Meiji and finishing grooming, Xu Shu went to meet the old Wang Qiang, who was acting as an agent.

Qiang is the brother of the predecessor Shan Yu Qiangqu, after the death of the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, he was elected by the Southern Xiongnu and acted as Shan Yu.

For so many years, the Han court has been turbulent, although he has the intention to send an envoy to worship, but he is not allowed to enter, so this time the court sent an envoy, although he is already old and frail, but with great expectations, hoping to take off the word single in front of the agent, become the official Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu.

For Xu Shu's visit, Qiang Yan comprehended the mind, personally welcomed into the house, respectfully brought Xu Shu into the inner study where he discussed important matters, and after the maid served the tea, he immediately retired from the idle miscellaneous people, leaving only him and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu sat down, swept around, and smiled at Qiang Yan: "The king is really old and strong, diligent in study, and there are so many books, I bow down to you!" ”

Qiang Yan's old face was slightly red, haha smiled, and replied frankly: "The envoy said that he was joking, these are all decorations used by contemptible people to decorate the façade, and contemptible people are accustomed to riding horses, hunting, clumsy at the desk, meditating, laughing, laughing. ”

Xu Shu also smiled and praised sincerely: "The king is really a bold person, so it will save a lot of trouble when he comes here." ”

"Yes, yes," replied Qiang in a loud voice, "what edicts the imperial court has, what orders the chariot generals have, what the envoys have to say, as much as they can talk openly, and the contemptible people know everything, and they will do their best." ”

"Good!"

Xu Shu nodded in praise, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down leisurely, leaned forward, and said to Qiang: "Shengshang, the general of the chariot cavalry, I have high hopes for the king." In the next place, there is not only the holy decree, but also the chariot general. ”

Hearing the words, although Qiang Yan is an authentic Huns, but the Han people's set, very skillful, Wen Yan nodded to Xu Shu again and again, and replied: "Yes, the contemptible people understand, what the general of the chariot cavalry commands, the contemptible people, will never give up." ”

Xu Shu was very satisfied with Qiang's posture and attitude, and he stopped selling Guanzi at the moment, and said to Qiang: "The lord has always been kind to his subordinates, but he is unceremonious to the enemy. The Huns, can protect the existing land of the herds, a should be taxed, all follow the old practice, the clan of fine horses, included in the main account of the fine horses, the treatment is not reduced at all. The imperial court will reset the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, garrison Meiji, and wait for the imperial court to drive Xianbei to the north of Yinshan, and will reset the general department of Duliao and garrison Wuyuan. ”

After hearing this, Qiang almost didn't believe his ears, because of these so-called conditions, compared with before, it was even more lenient, originally he thought that after so many years, the imperial court sent an envoy again, and the conditions brought should be more stringent.

So much so that after Xu Shu finished speaking, when he picked up the teacup and tasted the tea again, Qiang Yan still asked in disbelief: "The saint, the court, the orders of the general of the chariot cavalry, that's all?" ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Shu nodded in response, but the thought in his heart was diametrically opposed to what he said: With such favorable conditions, I don't have to worry about you not getting on the boat.

This is exactly what Lu Bu has always adhered to when discussing the countermeasures to deal with the Qianghu ethnic groups in Western Liang, that is, to treat these Qianghu alien races as Han people, and neither give them excessive preferential treatment, nor can they be discriminated against and oppressed, and when they gradually get used to it, they can begin to promote the process of intermarriage between the two ethnic groups and mutual migration, and firmly and slowly promote the process of integrating the Qianghu aliens into the Han nationality.

However, in the process, they can enjoy the autonomy of their own clan, and once they should have military power, they must be fully controlled by the merging state army, otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure that the process of integration can be carried out in a peaceful environment.

In this way, it also means that as long as the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Hu tribes agree to come down from the beginning, as time goes by, it will become more and more difficult for them to break away from Lu Bu's control.

Of course, if they don't agree, what awaits them will be the overpower of the army, and they will be slaughtered mercilessly.

After receiving Xu Shu's affirmative reply, Qiang was stunned for a while, and then his face was happy, he got up tremblingly, bowed to Xu Shu, and replied: "Contemptible, contemptible, how can he de, be so kind to the saint, the court, the general of the chariot and cavalry, the envoy is above, please accept, and be worshipped!" ”

Xu Shu immediately got up, took two steps forward, held Qiang Yan's shoulders, and said in a loud voice: "I can't do it, I can't help it, the king still has to plan as soon as possible and get the approval of all the tribes in the clan, as for those unstable factors, there is no need to remind him, of course the king also knows what to do." ”

"Yes, yes," Qiang couldn't resist Xu Shu, took his seat again, and replied repeatedly, "The contemptible understands, the contemptible understands." ”

Being able to convince Qiang Qian so smoothly, Xu Shu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after discussing it for a while, he said goodbye and returned to his residence.

In the next three days, Xu Shu has been visiting the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes in Meiji, of course, he is not as direct as talking to Qiang, many times, he is just saying some polite words, but secretly, he has maintained close contact with Qiang, and learned that Qiangqi is contacting various ministries to win support.

Xu Shu was not in a hurry, before coming to Meiji, he collected information on the Southern Xiongnu in many ways, and after many discussions with Jia Xu and Lu Bu and others, he drew up a list of unstable factors, among which Huququan was in the first place.

It is no wonder that the father of Huququan, Qiangqu Shan Yu, died at the hands of the Xiongnu who launched the rebellion, and his brother Yu Fuluo and his son both died in the hands of Lu Bu, even himself, and almost died under Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd.

Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Huququan will be hostile to the Han Court and the cavalry general Lu Bu, and he has returned to Meiji for so many years, it is impossible to say that there is no group of supporters in the various departments of the Southern Xiongnu.

In the dead of night, Xu Shu was awakened by a noise, and when he heard Dian Wei's loud voice, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It should come, or sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon! (To be continued......)

PS: I'm working overtime tonight, I just came back, hurry up and upload it, thank you for the continuous reward of "Muyu Sanfeng", thank you very much for your strong support!
