"Patriarch, there are many differences between those aliens and us. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info in fact, Karasuma, Xianbei or Xiongnu, this is just a pronoun, let's be more convenient when describing them. But it seems to me that although they bear the name of a group, they are very loosely related to each other. ”
Although there are still many people in the Li family in Xihe who are quite disagreeable to Li Shushi, a young patriarch who not only comes from a barren mountain and wilderness, but for Li Kang, who loves adventure, Li Shushi, who has already run nearly a quarter of a big man at a young age, can obviously become his idol, so he didn't have a look of contempt when he answered.
"For the Hu people in the north, most of them, except for some high-ranking ones, have lived in their own tribes all their lives. For them, a tribe is like a country of ours, which is somewhat similar to the Zhou rites formulated by the Duke of Zhou, except that their tribe is smaller. The management of the tribe is more severe than that of our family in a certain way, but because of the pressure of survival, they have more respect for the strong, even if the strong man is from a very low background or even a slave, but as long as they have strength, they are willing to incorporate it into their system and even become the one who controls the fate of others, so in their dealings with them, they will feel their pursuit of power. Even for the sake of the survival and vitality of the race, they have instituted laws that are completely different from ours, including that young sons who are adults inherit the family business, and that women who can have children are ready to marry their husband's brother or even non-biological sons the day after her husband's death. ”
In fact, Li Shushi had heard a lot of these things from Lu Bu before, but considering that it was inconvenient to disturb the other party's train of thought and because he had plenty of time, Li Shushi still patiently listened to the other party's introduction.
Of course, although Li Shushi gained a lot of information from the memories of his previous life and Lu Bu's introduction before, Li Kang's introduction did not have much effect on him, but Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and others around him listened to it with taste and different expressions, which also became another important reason why Li Shushi did not interrupt Li Gan's introduction.
"In addition, the reason why I chose Nishikawa Karasuma may be a little complicated to elaborate, but in a nutshell, it is actually one word: suitable. Karasuma because of Emperor Guangwu, who restored the foundation of our Great Han, in fact, many tribes have gradually integrated into the Great Han, such as the Zong Lao Zhonglang General has a lot of Karasuma cavalry, so their sense of identity with us will be much higher than that of other ethnic groups, especially the Xianbei people. ”
"In other words, it costs less to win over the Karasuma people than it does to win over the Xianbei and Xiongnu, and the effect is better?"
Li Shushi couldn't help but interject when he heard this, although he felt that it was a little inappropriate to interrupt the other party's argument at the other party's interest, but Li Shushi obviously felt that this issue was very important for his future policy towards foreign races.
"I can't say that, as I said earlier, a tribe is like a nation, and each country obviously has its own ideas. I can only say that compared to the Xianbei people and the Huns, who are now somewhat hostile to the Han people, most of the Karasuma people still have a relatively high sense of identity with the Han Dynasty. It's just that the leaders of the tribe may make different choices for various interests in many cases, so if our strength is not enough to suppress the majority, then we still need to contact and analyze one tribe after another in order to finally achieve the most favorable result for us. ”
"That is to say, if we have the strength, we can choose to subdue them, because they believe in the guidance of the strong, but if we don't have that strength, we need to use all kinds of means to gnaw down one tribe after another~"
For this kind of answer, Li Shushi didn't know why he suddenly thought of the so-called most chaotic era in the history of the island country opposite, which seemed to be the same - the strong can rely on strength to make the weak submit, and the weak and the weak need to use various means to achieve the goal of annexing each other. Of course, it is often two or more weak people who fight each other, and the result is that the strong one takes the sheep by the hand. And isn't the folk custom of that island country also worshipping the strong and despising the weak?
"That's basically it. But it is not excluded that the possibility of pulling radishes with mud is not ruled out, after all, there are still in-laws between countries, not to mention between these small tribes, and when a few small tribes are united, they are sometimes the basis of large tribes. ”
"Then why is Xihe Karasuma more suitable for us to deal with than Taiyuan Karasuma?"
In fact, Li Shushi basically had some ideas in his heart when he heard what policy should be adopted for the Hu people in Xihe now, but considering that although he was a businessman, he had some characteristics in his knowledge and conversation, so he hoped to investigate it in depth, after all, what Xihe lacked most now was talent, and even a qualified spy was precious to Li Shushi now.
"Because most of the Karasuma cavalry under the command of Zong Lao Nakaro came from Nishikawa Karasuma. And because Zong Lao Zhonglang will assist Lu Xian Ling to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army this year, as a result, a lot of territory in the West River Karasuma has been invaded by Taiyuan Karasuma who has no Zong Lao Zhonglang will suppress. Originally, they planned to make up for it from the rewards of the imperial court, but they didn't expect that Lu Xianling was dismissed in advance, and General Zong Lao Zhonglang and the Karasuma cavalry troops who followed him not only did not receive any rewards, but also had to bear most of the losses of the troops. Although this made them complain a lot about the Han court, it was also a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation. As long as we don't do it so explicitly, it should be the least difficult to get them to follow in our footsteps. ”
Although his thinking is still a little immature, he is generally a talent, and it seems that he can discuss it with Jia Xu when he goes back this time, such a brave and resourceful guy who usually doesn't like to be in the limelight is definitely a good embryo for a spy.
"But my lord, I think we can see the cruel side of the Hu people now, please be prepared, although it is not clear who is going to attack us, but the number of the other party should be more than fifty, and we will be able to see them in less than a moment."
While Li Shushi was thinking, Li Dang suddenly turned over and dismounted, took out something from his arms, and then leaned his head on the ground, his face full of solemnity. As soon as Li Shushi, who was awakened by his movements, saw his appearance, he basically understood what was going on, and quietly glanced at his guard chief, Dian Wei, before turning his gaze to Li Kang, who had already stood up.
Sure enough, as Li Shushi expected, Li Dang really brought the news of someone attacking. Although I had heard Li Dang talk about the information that caravans often had to face the raids of the Hu people, Li Shushi and the others were not far away from Shicheng now, and it was only half a day's journey, so would anyone dare to blatantly come to find trouble?
"The weather is not good, and our number of people doesn't seem to be large, so as long as we are quick with our hands and feet, I believe that they will have returned with a full load before they even get any news from Shicheng. After all, these guys have been doing this business for dozens of generations and have a lot of experience. Although there were no security measures such as post station beacons in the past, the effect on this kind of small group harassment was very poor. ”
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet arrived, Li Dang explained to Li Shushi the fact that it sounded quite bad to Li Shushi.
"Isn't it a very dangerous profession to be a businessman, but I think there are many people who do not hesitate to devote themselves to it every year. Could it be that the profits in this have reached the point where people forget life and death? ”
And Li Shushi didn't say yes, he remembered that Zhang Fei once said that their family also often traded with the Biansaihu people, and it seemed that the risk was not as big as Li dared to say, and Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping in Jizhou had to go back and forth on both sides several times a year.
"There's nothing wrong with making a lot of profits, but it's all about everyone. After all, the Hu people were not stupid, and they made a contract with certain merchants, and they sent people to protect the caravan. Usually other raiders have to weigh whether they can escape the pursuit of the other party before robbing, and it is impossible for this tribe to spoil their own tribe's business, you must know that this kind of income is not only rich but also stable. However, we caravans that seem to be very easy to bully and don't seem to have any strong clans standing behind them, and we will definitely be targeted by many people. ”
Regarding Li Kang's explanation, Li Shushi had to admit that who said that Hu Ren's head is not easy to use, this IQ is not under the US imperialists.
"But, although I have to admit that Hu Ren's ability is far beyond my imagination, my subordinates are not given for nothing."
"This ...... Your Excellency. I have to remind you below. Although your men are brave men, there is no lack of sharpening on the battlefield. However, it is still much inferior to those Hu people who have lived on horseback since childhood and began to hunt prey before they reached adulthood. Moreover, after so many generations of operation, the other party's weapons and armor are not inferior to ours, so please don't have the idea of underestimating the enemy, and at the same time, please be prepared to bear large losses. ”
Although Li Shushi is very much like posing for a fearless poss, it is a pity that although he has not been out of the West River much, Li Kang, who knows a lot about the West River, poured a basin of cold water on his head, accompanied by the cold wind and scattered snowflakes, which directly poured Li Shushi into a crystal bright and cold heart. From a distance, it was really a big lump of gray, but it made Su Xiaololi, who was sitting in the car, snicker, but this laughter not only did not help Li Shushi's recovery at all, but made him more weathered.
It's just that Li Kang's group ridicule was really a little ruthless, and for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on him. After all, because of Li Shushi's particularity, the guards of this caravan are completely Li Shushi's personal soldiers, and Li Dang, as the only outsider + fresh face among them, will naturally not convince everyone if he says otherwise.
"Hehe, if you want to know if what you said below is correct, you can verify it with the weapons in your hands after the enemy comes. However, I would like to remind you that the enemy is really difficult to entangle. ”
Li Kang didn't seem to pay attention to the unfriendly gazes around him, but calmly took out the short spear that had been wrapped beside him, and at the same time took out the riding bow hidden in the cloak on his back. Every movement is so coherent, as if it had been done countless times before.
"Okay, just like Dauntless said, if you want to make him speechless, show your own skills, but if you lose face of our army because of the underestimation of the enemy, then don't blame me for not reminding you."
Although he didn't believe Li Kang's words very much in his heart, Li Shushi knew that underestimating the enemy was always a prelude to failure.
