Chapter 230 Arguments
The final game is the Corner Fight, where the nobles send their retinues to challenge the other nobles.
Since Liu Zhang did not bring his entourage, no one dared to challenge him.
Not long ago, I saw that he and Yuwen Kai were in a corner, and they could easily defeat each other.
Challenging Liu Zhang will undoubtedly be defeated, and according to what was said in advance, the winner can give priority to selecting Xiongnu slaves.
Liu Zhang selected several good-looking Xiongnu women, including Yuwenman.
Yuwenkai was not picked by him, and Yuwenman cried sadly.
If she asks Liu Zhang, she may be refused.
In the future, there will be fewer opportunities to meet her brother, and the slave is not qualified to make conditions.
Wei Yan kept Yu Wenkai by his side, thinking that he could train him.
Many Xiongnu nobles took the initiative to defect to the Han Dynasty and became officials of the Han Dynasty.
Some were knighted, and some of the Xiongnu were very stubborn and could only be reduced to slavery.
"The one who is called Yuwenkai will be handed over to you to discipline well, he is unruly, you have to be more careful when you keep it by your side."
Liu Zhang kindly reminded Wei Yan that it could be seen that Yuwen Kai was still more difficult to subdue than Lan Xuan.
"Compared with the Red Marquis and the Yichun Marquis, who is powerful?"
Dong Yan said to Han Shuo, he also wanted to see which of the two of them was more powerful.
Wei Yan is proficient in the use of various weapons, and few opponents in Kakutoshi can defeat him.
Many nobles also wanted to see the two of them have a fair fight if they could defeat Liu Zhang.
They felt quite happy, and they were more optimistic about Wei Ling.
Wei Yan didn't want to compete with Liu Zhang, he had consumed a lot of physical strength just now.
I changed into clean clothes again, and I was wearing thin clothes just now and blew in the cold wind for a while.
If you fight with him again, in case Liu Zhang is injured and gets sick from the cold.
Wei Yan felt that the sin might make Liu Zhang's elders unhappy.
His father would also blame him, and there was really no need to be unpleasant over a trivial matter.
I invited Liu Zhang to come this time because I wanted to make a friendly friendship with him.
Some nobles wanted to take this opportunity to tease him, which made Wei Yan a little unhappy.
After all, he asked Dong Yan to invite him, and he was responsible for Liu Zhang's safety.
"Honghou tried Yuwen Kaibi just now, if I compare with him, I will definitely not be his opponent."
Wei Yan told everyone that his strength was not as good as Liu Zhang.
There is no need to compare with him, if they don't believe him.
Invite Liu Zhang to compete with them another day, so that they can lose convincingly.
"Each of you can send three followers, best-of-three games, and the winner can pick the remaining Hun slaves."
Liu Zhang had already finished choosing, and several beautiful Hun women were picked by him.
There were still some strong Hun men left who could let them go to farming.
As for the caretakers, I still can't trust their loyalty.
Besides, there is no shortage of guards around these nobles, if they give the Huns weapons.
They could rebel at any time, and Zhao Xin was an example.
In recent years, several Xiongnu rebelled one after another, and they took the opportunity to return to Xiongnu territory.
Wei Yan invited Liu Zhang to sit in the simple wooden house and talk to him a few words.
"I have a few words I'd like to talk to you about individually, can you?"
"Yes, please."
Wei Yan walked in front, Liu Zhang followed, and he couldn't talk to those nobles.
Liu Zhang felt that Wei was not bad, and the other party was interested in befriending him.
There was a fire in the middle of the cabin, and the two of them sat opposite each other, and it was quite warm in the cabin.
"If you have something to say, just say it, I don't have much time to stay outside the city."
Before the gates are closed, you must return to the city and go to work on time tomorrow.
He's not like these nobles anymore, who spends his days doing nothing.
"I just want to talk to you about three topics. First, the Xiongnu were capricious. The second is how to settle the Xiongnu people, and the third is how my father proposed to His Majesty to form a training camp for young nobles. ”
"The Huns took refuge in the Han Dynasty, and they were cornered. Once it is actually beneficial to them, they will betray the big man again. It was easy to settle the Xiongnu people, and they were scattered and sent to various places. ”
In fact, Liu Zhang needless to say, those ministers in the DPRK and China have a way.
In the past few years of fighting, more and more Xiongnu people have been captured.
Excessive killings are always bad, and it is not very safe to arrange them at the border.
"A large number of Xiongnu people can be assigned to other counties and counties to learn Chinese and Chinese characters. Assimilating them, this starts with the children of the Huns. ”
Adult Huns are not good at sinicization, if the heart is ruthless enough.
The Xiongnu tribes were dismantled and scattered to various counties in the Han Dynasty.
Discipline them, and over time they will blend into the Han people.
This is national integration, which is much better than killing.
It can also increase the population of the Han Dynasty, which also provides labor for the Han Dynasty.
"Although the Xiongnu also learned the culture of the Han Dynasty, they did not learn well enough. They only have interests in their eyes, and there is no so-called loyalty and patriotism. ”
This disobedience was very clear, he just wanted to hear Liu Zhang's thoughts.
Liu Zhang only briefly talked about how to settle the Xiongnu people, and what he said was consistent with the suggestions made by the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"As for the Xiongnu nobles who took refuge in the Han Dynasty, they can be used. They say they are villains, and they can't spare their lives next time. ”
Capricious people cannot stay, and it may not be good for them to stay on the side of the Huns.
If they defect to the Han Dynasty, they can get a knighthood and official position, do they still want to return to the grassland to endure hardships?
The large-scale war of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu will take place in a few years, and preparations must be made in these years.
"So what do you do? I'm telling you that this is not a secret. ”
"There is no good way to solve the rebellion of the Huns. Zhao Xin and they surrendered to the Han in a desperate situation. Later, he betrayed the Han Dynasty and defected to the Xiongnu. ”
This made some soldiers in the Han army have a strong sense of defense against the Xiongnu who took refuge, and they did not want to entrust them with important tasks.
Maybe one day they will join forces with the Xiongnu in the north, and the Han army will be annihilated.
Wei Qing's subordinate generals were very resistant to the Xiongnu who were recruited, and they would rather kill these Xiongnu than use them.
Some of the generals suffered too much from the Huns, and they no longer believed in the Huns.
Because they are barbaric and untrustworthy, and the Han Dynasty is not without soldiers to fight.
In fact, these are not problems, whether it is those ministers in the DPRK and China, or those generals in the army.
They all had a way to solve it, and Wei Yan was just chatting with Liu Zhang.
"Actually, you don't have to talk to me about these things, although they are not confidential. If others listen to it, they will talk to your father about leaking state and military secrets. ”
Some people have sinister intentions, and Liu Zhang asked Wei Yan to think about it later.
"Of course I know the seriousness of the matter, and my father and I trust you. I just want to talk to you about this, and in March, you will go to North Korea. ”
When Wei Yan heard the news, he was quite envious of Liu Zhang.
In March, he was going to go with his father to fight against the Huns.
Although he is not very old, he can learn more in the army.
Actually, he didn't really want to go, it was cold in the north and life was very hard.
Going there was not a pleasure to visit, although Liu Zhang would follow the mission to Wei's Korea in March.
Although it was also very hard, it was relatively easy, and he studied with the envoys.
Liu Zhang and they were escorted by the Han army, and the danger of going to Wei's Korea was relatively low.
If they send an envoy to the Xiongnu, they may not be able to come back.
An example of this is Zhang Qian, who was under the care of the Huns for several years.
"Why don't you tell your father and come with me on the mission to North Korea."
Liu Zhang also knew the reason for the envoy to Wei's Korea, and the king of Joseon secretly contacted the Xiongnu.
Sometimes he caused trouble for the Han army in the northeast in order to contain the Han army in Liaodong and Youbeiping.
This had a certain impact on the strategic deployment of the Han Dynasty, and this mission to Wei's Korea was to give a warning to the king of Joseon.
As a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, you should abide by the rules.
The current king of Joseon is Wei Youqu, who swayed left and right between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.
It is not entirely right to say that he is the grass on the wall, Wei Youqu is not enough to compete with the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu's sphere of influence extended to the north of the Wei Korean border, which in turn bordered the territory of the Han dynasty.
Xiongnu Shan Yu sent people to Wei's Korea many times, so that Wei Youqu could unite with the Xiongnu to contend with the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty also sent envoys many times to persuade Wei Youqu to see the situation clearly.
"Although the danger of going to Korea is lower than that of going to the Huns, we still have to be careful."
Wei Yan told Liu Zhang not to say too drastic things to the king of Joseon, which might make the other party very angry.
After all, on their territory, they killed their envoys in a fit of rage.
It's not that they can't do it, and now the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty are fighting fiercely.
They can't control Wei's North Korea for a while, so they have nothing to worry about.
If the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack Wei's Korea, Wei Youqu would cooperate with the Xiongnu Shan Yu.
He wants to reap the benefits from both sides, and neither side will be offended anyway.
"I'm young, but I'm not impulsive. I'm just going to learn along, and that's reassuring. ”
He understands the truth of saying the most ruthless words and being beaten the most viciously.
