Chapter 470: The Three Clans Defend the Quiet and Cool

said goodbye to Liu Qian, the king of Liang, Liu Yu, the minister of state, Guan Yu, the governor Guan Yu, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji and others. Zhao Xing, under the escort of 10,000 dragoons, took Zhang Ji's family, Li Ru and others, as well as the reporter group of "Jin Daily", along the road that originally came to Liangguo, and slowly and leisurely walked eastward.

Since the establishment of the Jin State, Zhao Xing's safety has been listed as the most important task by the Protector Army, where he shows his head, there must be a loyal army around him, and the number is not less than two divisions and 10,000 people.

Although Zhao Xing himself disagreed, everyone thought that such an arrangement was not excessive and very necessary, because there were too many forces that wanted to plot against Zhao Xing, and if there was a mistake, all the efforts of people with Zhao Xing as the core for so many years would come to naught. In Zhang Liao's words: The third brother's life not only belongs to himself, but also to all the people of the Han Dynasty.

Because the top and bottom attach great importance to it, so far, there has never been a bloody incident like Zhao Xing's assassination. Even if there are swordsmen and knights with superb martial arts like Wang Yue in the world, they are only a small group after all, and they want to avoid the layers of guards of 10,000 elite warriors and stab Zhao Xing directly, which makes people feel crazy when they think about it. What's more, Zhao Xing is not a chicken, whoever wants to slaughter can be slaughtered. The people who wanted to touch him have basically disappeared at present, and those who have not disappeared are also living in fear, which is enough to prove how powerful he and the forces he represents.

This time, the 10,000 dragoons who came to Gaoping to meet Zhao Xing's return to the Jin Kingdom were led by Zhang Liao himself. Such an arrangement is not only for the sake of insurance, but also because some of the things that Zhao Xing secretly handed over to Zhang Liao have basically been completed, and Zhang Liao needs to make a detailed report to Zhao Xing before he arrives in the party.

When Zhao Xing's strength was still relatively weak, he once helped Yu Fuluo, the patriarch of the Southern Xiongnu, to quell the rebellion within the clan, thus winning the support of the Southern Xiongnu clan. Later, Zhao Xing and the Southern Xiongnu got closer and closer, and until now they are a little indistinguishable.

In the process of friendly exchanges between Han and Hungary, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao undoubtedly made great contributions. Zhao Yun directly dedicated himself and "married" himself to the pearl of the Southern Xiongnu tribe and Yufuluo's sister Ulan. And the people who contributed to this matter, in addition to the third brother who messed up the mandarin duck spectrum, there was also the naughty fifth brother. If Zhang Liao hadn't fooled Hu Chuquan and Ulan into his troops, there would have been many stories later.

Because Zhao Yun was presiding over the overall situation of Youzhou, Zhao Xing's plan to rename the Southern Xiongnu clan was handed over to Zhang Liao. The importance of this matter, even if Zhao Xing doesn't say it, Zhang Liao understands it. So he really used a lot of brains in handling this matter.

Everyone knows that as long as Zhang Liao uses his brains, there will always be people who suffer, and this time is of course no exception.

Renaming the Southern Xiongnu tribe seems to be a simple matter, but it is not so easy to operate. This involves the balance and reorganization of the tripartite forces between the Southern Xiongnu tribe, the Wuhuan tribe conquered by Zhao Xing, and the Xianbei tribe of Liaodong who were feared by Lu Bu. There is no doubt that the Southern Xiongnu will dominate the newly formed Yaoxing clan because they have been following Zhao Xing, but they can't just let their power be so great that there is no one to check and balance.

Moreover, the Southern Xiongnu tribe was not monolithic, and it was divided into several forces, large and small. The largest force is naturally a part of the Yu Fu Luo line supported by Hu Chuquan; the other two forces are formed by the tribes that originally intended to rebel and were suppressed; and because Ulan married Zhao Yun and accepted the fief in the area of Danhan Mountain, there are many clansmen under her name who have accepted Han and Hungarian marriages, so it can be regarded as a force.

After carefully referring to the methods and models used by Zhao Xing to integrate the Huang Xuan clan, Zhang Liao decided to adopt the old method set by Zhao Xing, that is, the system of the clan elders' meeting. That is to say, according to the size and number of people in the tribe, let all parties select elders who can represent their own clans, and jointly discuss and manage the affairs of the Yaoxing clan in the future, so as to avoid the situation of one family dominating.

Since it is called the Yaoxing clan, it is necessary to choose a patriarch. So the representatives of the Southern Xiongnu tribe, the Wuhuan tribe, and the Xianbei tribe in Liaodong began to fight with each other in front of Zhang Liao, in short, everyone was unwilling to let the position of the patriarch be obtained by the other two tribes. Zhang Liao saw this posture, and simply didn't vote for anything, slapped the table directly, and said: "Mrs. Zhao has an order, in the future, Zhao Yun, the governor of Youzhou Soldiers and Horses, will be the first patriarch of your Yaoxing clan, what are your opinions?"

As soon as the representatives heard the name of "Jade-faced Tiger" Zhao Yun, where did they dare to have any opinions, they raised their hands in agreement, so the matter of the name of the Yaoxing clan was decided.

Zhang Liao has done things here, but he is only half done. He also had to argue with the elders of the Huang Xuan clan and the elders of the Yansheng clan, so that the elders of the three clans would sit around and discuss and draft a common agreement, and in the future, the three families would abide by it together, check and balance each other, and work together to finally Zhao Xing.

In fact, the formulation of the agreement this time is essentially a redivision of the territory of the three clans. According to Zhao Xing's instructions, the three ethnic groups had a large area of common life, located on both sides of the Yellow River in the Hetao area, mainly including most or part of the four counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Xihe and Dingxiang.

In this area, everyone lives with the local Han people, buys and trades fairly, and their children receive the same education and receive the same benefits. In the future, local officials will also be fairly selected from among the various ethnic groups in proportion to the population, and will jointly govern the county. Of course, since this place is destined to become a prosperous and prosperous place in the future, the population of all ethnic groups living here is first and foremost to ensure the elderly and children.

After Zhang Liao put forward this condition, the representatives of all ethnic groups couldn't slow down for a long time. In their opinion, what kind of condition is this, it is purely a great benefit.

Indeed, if you look at the immediate interests alone, Zhao Xing's arrangement is purely to give everyone benefits, and there is no harm in it. However, Zhao Xing would not tell them that as long as the children of all ethnic groups receive the education of the Han people here in the future, and the old people of their clan are buried here, then after a few years, who of them will still be able to leave this land?

The subjugation of a people by sabre and whip alone will not last long, unless genocidal activities are practised. However, Zhao Xing, who came from later generations, knew that anyone who had engaged in genocide and had no mercy would end well.

Just like Genghis Khan, who led the Mongol cavalry across the Eurasian continent and killed tens of millions of people, some people even say that he killed hundreds of millions of people before and after!

Zhao Xing believes that if Genghis Khan's descendants really built his mausoleum very tall and obvious, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born a hundred years later, would definitely take Genghis Khan out of the grave and whip his corpse. What is Genghis Khan's greatest contribution to human civilization?

Therefore, Zhao Xing never thought of using bloody slaughter to realize the somewhat oversized dream in his heart, he always believed that there was a more feasible and civilized way than extermination, and finally realized the symbiosis and coexistence between various ethnic groups.

After the representatives of the three tribes agreed without any doubt, Zhang Liao then divided the territory of the Yaoxing tribe into a range of several hundred miles around Danhan Mountain, located in the northeast of Bingzhou and the north of Youzhou, the territory of the Yansheng tribe to the north of Wuyuan and Yunzhong County in Bingzhou, and the territory of the Huangxuan tribe to the north of Shuofang County and Shangjun.

While dividing the territory, Zhang Liao also explained the future obligations of the three clans. In the future, the Yaoxing tribe will defend the north of Youzhou against the invasion of Fuyu, Goguryeo and other tribes in the northeast. Once Youzhou marched to the northeast, the Yaoxing tribe was obliged to provide support such as warriors and war horses to the army of Youzhou. As a part of the Dingyuan Army, the Southern Hun Cavalry Division was renamed Yaoxing Cavalry in the future, with a number of 10,000, commanded by Hu Chuquan and under the jurisdiction of the Dingyuan Army.

The Yansheng tribe guarded the northern part of the Jin kingdom to prevent the scattered Xianbei people and other nomadic tribes from entering and harming the Jin people, including the Huang, Yan, and Yao tribes. At the same time, the Yansheng tribe needs to provide food and grass and other support to the Flying Tiger Army, and always ensure the tranquility and purgement of the northern desert. The first patriarch of the Yansheng clan was served by Tuxi, and the Yansheng cavalry division of 10,000 people was led by Tuxi and was under the jurisdiction of the Dingyuan army.

The Huangxuan clan guarded the northwest side of the Jin Kingdom, blocking the threat from the Qiang people in Liangzhou, and the patriarch Hu Che'er. In the future, the territory will continue to extend to the direction of Liangguo, until the Qiang problem in Liangguo is completely solved, and the expansion of the Huangxuan clan will be over.

In the area where the three ethnic groups live together, a force of no more than 10,000 people, including 4,000 Han Chinese, and 2,000 each of the other three ethnic groups, will be retained to be responsible for the security of the common area.

Along the way, Zhang Liao reported these situations to Zhao Xing in detail and concretely, and raised a question. Zhang Liao asked Zhao Xing and said, "Third brother, now that the basic sphere of influence of the three clans of Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng and Yao Xing has been clearly divided, if one of them is allowed to extend and grow, will it pose a threat to the other two clans and further cause turmoil among the three clans?"

Zhao Xing asked Zhang Liao, "Are you worried about the expansion of the Huang Xuan clan to the west?"

Zhang Liao nodded, indicating that he really thought so.

Zhao Xing explained to Zhao Xing: "We have to take a long-term view. In the future, the three tribes will occupy far more than what we see today. The Yaoxing tribe eventually wanted to annex Fuyu, Goguryeo, and even the more distant northeast Rulou, while the direction of the Yansheng tribe's expansion was naturally a large grassland directly north of the Jin Kingdom, and their final tentacles were to reach the uninhabited land north of Beihai. If you look at it this way, shouldn't you worry about the Huang Xuan clan in turn?"

Zhang Liao patted his head, and suddenly realized: "Now I understand, third brother, you arrange this, isn't the purpose of the often said 'to rule raze with raze'." The Han people are not used to a life that is too cold, so we just let these peoples on horseback expand our territory for us and clean up the territory on the periphery of the Han Dynasty!"
