Chapter 14: The Three Kingdoms of Xianbei

Hunting was a frequent recreation for the nobles of this era.

Even the Son of Heaven often hunted to relax and recuperate - for this reason, a very large area was specially circled as a royal hunting garden for the Son of Heaven and the royal family to hunt.

But the most used in the Royal Hunting Garden is not Liu Xuan, the son of heaven, but Huang Yueying, the concubine, which can be regarded as an anecdote in today's Han Dynasty.

As for the reason why the Son of Heaven did not go, it was very simple: he was not interested in hunting deer, rabbits, etc.

It's a bit of fun for tigers and bears, but it's impossible for the group of people in the court to place these things in the royal hunting garden, even if the Son of Heaven is not afraid, but the hunting garden is not only used by the Son of Heaven alone, plus it is not far from the palace, and it is in the city of Luoyang (the newly built Luoyang City is very vast and huge), if there is really any trouble, it is not beautiful.

This time out, Liu Xuan aimed at those 'ferocious' beasts, but unfortunately he didn't hit anything for a whole day, fortunately he hit a tiger when he was about to return, although he was not big and actually turned around and ran away after seeing a group of people, but after all, he still died under Huang Yueying's stick - in order not to hurt the fur, Huang Yueying first caught the tiger with a 'net gun', and then beat it to death with a stick.

Looking at that posture, it seems that I want to fight this tiger as someone!

"Okay, it's rotten again!"

"It's rotten, it's rotten, and I'll catch another one when I go back!"

Although she said this, Huang Yueying still stopped her movements, and then Dian Wei went directly over to resist the tiger's corpse, and walked back after His Majesty.

However, after only taking two steps, Liu Xuan suddenly stopped, and then ordered Zhang Fei beside him: "There should be a nest of tiger cubs behind the big tree, go and bring it!"

"Tiger Boy?"

Although Zhang Fei didn't know how His Majesty found out. But he didn't doubt Liu Xuan's words at all, and walked directly behind the big tree in a few big steps. Then he shouted: "There really is a litter of tiger cubs...... You're quite grumpy!"

I don't know what happened. But listening to Zhang Fei's tone, he knew that there was nothing wrong, and he seemed to be quite happy.

Then I saw Zhang Fei holding two under his arms, holding one in his big hand, and lifting a little tiger boy in front of him with the other hand. Watching the little thing open its teeth and claws at himself haha.

"Strange? Wouldn't a tiger be very aggressive if it had cubs? Why did this side turn around and run away when they saw that we didn't even want cubs?"

Huang Yueying knows the habits of some tigers, in fact, tigers generally do not attack people. If you take the initiative to attack someone, there are generally several possibilities: you have been injured by a hunter's trap, you have suffered a hunter's loss, and you have a great hatred for people.

In order to protect their offspring, tigers that have just given birth will be extremely aggressive towards any creature that invades their territory.

Hungry......

Liu Xuan shook his head: "Animals have more acute senses than humans. This tiger immediately judged that our group of people was not easy to mess with. So I just want to leave!" After a pause, he glanced at the four little tigers: "Maybe there is a reason to lead us far away!"

"No wonder I couldn't see any beasts when I came out today, they were all hiding!"

Huang Yueying's face was abrupt: "I can't take you with me next time I go hunting!" said as if the cause of everything was on Liu Xuan.

But in fact, it was almost the same, Liu Xuan refined the dragon qi, and even if he didn't do it intentionally, his momentum would be revealed, and the ordinary beast felt these breaths and immediately ran away. Where will it run out and touch this brow?

Even if it's this tiger, if it's not a cub, it's nearby. I'm afraid I've been hiding a long time ago. However, Zhang Fei's group of people, although they are strong, they have not yet left the category of people after all, so the beasts will not deliberately avoid them. ...,

Liu Xuan turned his head, Zhang Fei was still squeezing his eyebrows at the little tiger who was dancing at him, as if he was deliberately angry with the little guy, and Liu Xuan found that the little tiger's spiritual head was much stronger than the other two, especially the round and cute appearance, which was a little more flattering and cute.

"This little guy is good, keep it!"

casually took the little thing from Zhang Fei's hand, Xu is the dragon energy on his body is too strong, this little thing dares to grin at Zhang Fei, but in Liu Xuan's hands, he becomes as honest as a domestic cat, only occasionally glancing at Liu Xuan with those round eyes.

"Haha, this trip is not without gain!"

handed it to Diao Chan on the side, which made Diao Chan panic for a while: "This is ...... Tiger...... It won't bite me, will it?"

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Xuan smiled and comforted Diao Chan: "With your current strength, will it bite you? Not to mention that even if it really bites, it can't really cause any major injuries!"

Even if he really bites Diao Chan, he has a way to cure Diao Chan without leaving any scars.

"And if it dares to bite you, then I'll stew it for you!"

I don't know if this warning really worked, this little thing honestly lay in the arms of Diao Chan, if it weren't for the coat pattern, I'm afraid it would really be a cat.

"These few won't work, these two are out of gas!"

Zhang Fei freed his hand and began to check the others, only to find that the two that were caught under his armpit were no longer alive, only the one that was caught in his hand was still normal, but looking at the shaking sieve chaff-like appearance, it couldn't be compared with the one just now.

"I also thought that it would be majestic to raise a tiger and take it out, but I didn't expect it to be so useless...... And you, you're a tiger, what's the point of shaking like this?"

It doesn't matter if the tiger understands it or not, Zhang Fei has been teaching endless lessons along the way, and Liu Xuan doesn't stop it, but thinks it's funny to encounter such a thing.

But when it comes to raising ...... Liu Xuan picked up the little thing in Diao Chan's arms again, then raised it in front of him and looked at his stomach carefully, and finally put it back in Diao Chan's arms: "Keep it!"

A group of people looked inexplicable, only Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and muttered secretly: "It's so stingy!"

This incident is just an episode, and it will hardly have any impact.

When he returned, the tiger's fur was stripped off. Then Huang Yueying made a three-piece tiger skin set - a cute top, a short skirt and stockings, and she and Diao Chan set it up. However, neither was satisfied. Huang Yueying even said that she would make a tiger skin windbreaker.

"If only there were white tiger skins!"

This kind of thing, which is only known for its name, is not even in the palace - the Great Han has just re-emerged, and the collection of rare and exotic objects is not actually rich.

As for the old foundation, it was originally placed in the old palace, but it was already looted when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil. Later, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, he was also scattered in all directions, although some of them were recovered. But many of the real treasures have been lost to the people, and it is estimated that they are stored in the homes of some wealthy merchants and nobles.

So in fact, there are not many novelties in the palace these days. Most of them are the products of the 'new era' drummed up by Huang Yueying.

"You like white tigers?"

"It just felt fresh. So I want to see and see!"

Huang Yueying looked at the one she was holding in Diao Chan's arms, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, how about raising this little guy into a white tiger?"

"Cultivation, do you mean transformation?" Liu Xuan looked at Huang Yueying's shining eyes, and immediately guessed her thoughts.

However, he will not object to this idea, in fact, he has been thinking about whether the mounts of the Han generals should also change?..., Lu Bu may not think about these things if he has a red rabbit horse. But most of the mounts of the other generals changed at regular intervals - not that they didn't want a mount that could accompany them for a long time, but that the war horses bred by the Han Dynasty changed too quickly. Moreover, they can't guarantee that the war horses they raise can always be at the same level as those institutions that specialize in breeding war horses in Dahan.

Therefore, almost a new batch of excellent war horses will make the generals change their mounts on a large scale, and it is not the same thing in the long run.

Perhaps in the future, as the strength of these generals gradually increases, some people will give up their mounts - they can all fly away, and this mount is naturally dispensable.

But if you really find a good mount, it will undoubtedly improve a lot of strength. For example, when Lu Bu and Chitu work together, they can increase a lot of lethality, which is not a one-plus-one problem.

As Huang Yueying mentioned, as long as it goes well, it may be possible to breed many special mounts, which is part of his own plan, and it will not be inappropriate to start doing it now.

Anyway, the things of the Refining Division are gradually on the right track, and Huang Yueying is also doing things step by step, since this is the case, just let her preside over some new projects, maybe there will be some surprises!

While walking back, Liu Xuan told Huang Yueying all his thoughts.

Sure enough, when she heard that there was such a 'fun' thing to do, Huang Yueying directly expressed a very strong interest: "Is it possible to cultivate anything?"

Liu Xuan nodded: "Theoretically, including phoenixes, unicorns, and Xuanwu, they can all be 'created' through this method!"

"Really?"

"Even Western dragons, unicorns, and pegasus can do!"

In fact, what Liu Xuan wanted to equip Yulin Riding at the beginning was Pegasus, because in terms of 'operation', they could adapt faster and form combat power in the shortest time.

Huang Yueying's eyes turned, and she suddenly thought: "By the way, we are in Dongying!"

"Yes!" Liu Xuan didn't think that Huang Yueying was so confused that he realized where he was, so he was a little curious about what he would say next.

Outcome......

"You say, wouldn't it be interesting if I got some nine-tailed demon fox, eight-tailed big snake and the like?"

“......”

Liu Xuan didn't think it was interesting after thinking about it for a long time, so he just said: "Whatever you want, anyway, don't create a monster that no one can subdue!"

This point must be noted, how many stories are because someone created a powerful monster, and then countless heroes have taken the defeat of this monster as their most important responsibility, and passed down one heroic deed after another...... It would be too sad for this to happen, and in general, the creator and the beings around him are unlucky, and none of them will end well.

Talking and laughing, he returned to his residence again, and said nothing all night...... Two nights without a word...... In the following period of time, they were all very calm, and Liu Xuan and the two women began to adapt to the existence of a little guy around them.

It's just that......

Watching Huang Yueying tease the tiger with a small stick tied to one end of the woolen ball, how can you look awkward?

"Do you really want to raise it as a cat?"

"Pretty much anyway!"

Diao Chan is no longer afraid of this little thing now. Because it does look cute, hairy and whirring. At night, they even cuddle together to sleep. As for whether the little things are happy or not? That's not in the minds of a few people.

Thus passed a quiet day. Cao Cao sent another message.

"Oh, the founding of the country?"

"Yes!"

This time, it was not Chen Lin who came to Tongbing, but Deng Zhi, who served as the waiter of the Yellow Gate and became one of Liu Xuan's close ministers. ..., I woke up this day and received a message from Cao Cao's side, that is, Kebi can establish a country in the north and call it a daiguo. The territory encompasses almost all areas in the north of the Han Dynasty, covering the entire Han Dynasty like a huge dark cloud.

Deng Zhi came this time. He also brought a detailed map, which directly marked the territorial extent declared by Kebineng after the establishment of the state and the emperor.

"Huh, this Kebi can be so bold!"

Everything else is easy to say, as soon as Liu Xuan raised his eyes, he saw that the current Liaozhou was also counted as his own territory by Nakebi.

And that's not all. The northeastern part of Youzhou and a part of the northern part of the city. There is also the north-central part of the Samhan Peninsula, which is within the territory declared by Kobino.

Looking at it, Liu Xuan suddenly wondered: "Is this thing accurate?"

This is still the Han Dynasty, more than 200 AD, even if it is true that Kebi can establish a dynasty, but where does this definition of territory come from?

Deng Zhi naturally thought of this as well. immediately explained: "After the founding of the country, Kebineng sent envoys to the Xianbei tribes in the east, and at the same time announced that Kebineng would establish a daiguo, he also gave an ultimatum. Let them be converted as soon as possible...... At the same time, he also left a map marked with the territory of the country, which is actually forcing them to make a decision as soon as possible, and at the same time making a big promise!"

"I see!"

Kebineng probably knew that those families were very close to the Great Han, so he did this - in addition to showing his ambition, this picture also has a threatening meaning: I have reserved your territory, if you don't submit, I will destroy you, and then take your land, people, and livestock!

It's just that he didn't expect that these families would be infinitely inclined to the big Han after several exchanges with Cao Cao, and now that he was so stimulated, it is estimated that they will immediately fall into the arms of the big man.

"Now Meng De is discussing with the envoys of the Xianbei tribes, and Chen Shilang is listening through the communicator, and after estimating a general result, Chen Shilang will come to report to His Majesty to know and decide some things. ”

This is the reason why Chen Lin did not come, after all, these things involve 'diplomacy', and under the premise of intentionally handing over these matters to the Ministry of Rites, it is a matter of course for Chen Lin to 'audit'.

What's more, Chen Lin was listening on behalf of His Majesty, so even if some people in the court were unhappy, they couldn't find fault with it - the improvement of the status of the Ministry of Rites represented the decline of Honglu Temple, and it might not be long before Honglu Temple would become a redundant department.

After talking with Deng Zhi for a while, it didn't take long for Chen Lin to hurriedly come to report.

Liu Xuan directly exempted him from those false courtesies and let him speak directly: "Your Majesty, now it is officially determined that there are three Xianbei tribes that are subject to the Han Dynasty, and these three families have also changed some habits in order to show their closeness to the Han Dynasty, and have determined a new surname!"

"Oh, last name?"

In fact, Xianbei and Xiongnu do not have surnames, but some tribes have surnames and some do not, and some tribes will use this surname as their surname, while others will not.

In short, the northern nomads of Xianbei and Xiongnu are very accustomed to customs, and some of them are named at will according to their past habits, and they will not directly put their surnames into their own names.

While others are influenced by Han culture, they give their names according to Han customs, and their surnames will be passed down forever.

For example, this defector, he gave himself the three surnames of Duan, Yuwen and Murong respectively, these three will not only become the names of the entire clan, but also the surnames of the three leading families, and will be passed on forever.

"Duan, Murong Yuwen?"

Liu Xuan always felt so familiar when he heard these surnames? It happened that Huang Yueying came out and asked in a daze: "Is it Tianlong Babu?"

“......”

Deng Zhi and Chen Lin immediately looked down at their toes, and then respectfully saluted: "Huang Niangniang."

And Huang Yueying also instinctively returned the salute according to the number of courtesies, and then followed a rather distinctive sentence: "It's coming!"

“......”

"Go on, don't worry about me!"

These people are also used to some of the peculiarities of this mother, so they should continue to report it.

"At the same time, these three families also officially proposed to establish a country in the west of Liaozhou, and they want to ask His Majesty to give them the name of the country!"

"Uh......h Country name!"

Liu Xuan is actually quite annoyed by this, because the country name at this time can't be messed up casually, either there are some sayings, or it is based on the location of the territory he has, but the three of them don't rely on anything, and they are still in the extreme north in the original sense, so the name is more of a headache!

"Just Yan Guo, Zhou Guo and ...... Forehead...... Zhao Guo's bar......"

Listening to these names said by the Son of Heaven, the more Chen Lin listened, the more inappropriate he felt: "This...... Isn't that a little out of place?"

Liu Xuan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it will be cleaned up sooner or later anyway, if you really feel that it is inappropriate, just add a north character in front of the country name!"
