Liu Xin shook his head and said, "Gonghe, you don't know Liu Bao. The fact that this person was able to escape from Guanzhong alone shows that he is cautious and cunning. And after he lost 100,000 Hun cavalry, he was able to win over some tribes and fight for control of the Xiongnu with the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, which shows that he still has many supporters among the Xiongnu tribes. And Hu Chuquan did not take Liu Bao into account at all, so there are many variables. ”

In fact, there is a more important point that Liu Xin did not say, that is, Liu Bao is quite ambitious. Liu Bao gave himself the surname "Liu", which was to flaunt his relationship with the Han royal family, and wanted to find an opportunity to enter the Huahua world of the Central Plains.

also accepted Dong Zhuo's conscription and led his troops into the customs, but Liu Bao's situation was different from Beigong Boyu. Beigong Boyu is a Qiang person, and he originally lived with the Han people in the Liangzhou area, and Dong Zhuo has always had a good relationship with the Qiang tribes, and it is reasonable for Beigong Boyu to send troops at Dong Zhuozhi's request. Although the Southern Xiongnu were nominally attached to the Han Dynasty, they actually did not obey the dispatch of the Han court, and Liu Bao could completely ignore Dong Zhuo's call. The reason why he agreed so readily was that he wanted to take the opportunity to find out the path after entering the customs and prepare for the attack on the Central Plains in the future.

Historically, the prelude to the Wuhu Chaohua was opened by Liu Yuan, the descendant of Liu Bao, and the country established by Liu Yuan also took the country name "Han", which was through his surname "Liu". Liu Yuan's son even breached Luoyang, captured Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty, and led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

And this period of history, although Liu Xin is not very familiar, but the general situation is still known, therefore, he has always been quite wary of Liu Bao, and the attack on the Hun cavalry in the Battle of Guanzhong is slightly stronger than the attack on the Qiang cavalry. Of course, he can't tell Fu Zhu about these situations, unless he sacrifices the trump card of the Golden Armor God again. However, the trump card can only be used at the most critical time, and the result of abuse is that the trump card will no longer work, so Liu Xin can no longer use the name of the golden armor god to tell the history he knows.

However, Liu Xin can be sure that if Hu Chuquan wants to contact and win over more tribes, it is difficult to guarantee that the news will not reach Liu Bao's ears, and it is even very likely that Hu Chuquan will also list Liu Bao as the target of his contact. Because in Hu Chuquan's view, the reason why Liu Bao had a civil war with the Marquis of Xubu Gudu was to compete for Shan Yu's position, and now Shan Yu's position is back in Yu Fuluo's hands, he will inevitably feel resentful, and he is a good object to woo. Hu Chuquan didn't know that since Liu Bao had such strong ambitions, how could he be willing to be a good man's obedient people?

Liu Bao was the son of Yu Fuluo, and although Yu Fu Luo was not the only son, as long as he continued to maintain the independence of the Xiongnu, he could hope to ascend to the throne of Shan Yu. Becoming a Xiongnu Shan Yu, Liu Bao had the opportunity to integrate the power of the Xiongnu and lay the foundation for entering the Central Plains in the future. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Liu Bao will stand on Yu Fuluo's side, and even if Yu Fu Luo agrees to merge the Xiongnu into the Han Dynasty, Liu Bao will jump out to oppose it.

Fu Zhu was still a little unconvinced, and bowed and said: "Back to the lord, according to what Hu Chuquan said in the letter, Liu Bao's tribe has been greatly weakened, and now it is a medium tribe at most, even if he opposes it, I am afraid that he will not have the strength to resist Hu Chuquan and their alliance." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted." Since I have already seen that Hu Chuquan's trip is quite dangerous, how can I sit idly by? Gonghe, you immediately pass on my order and inform Zilong and Hansheng to send troops to Monan! ”

Frustrated, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If it is freezing today, the road is closed by heavy snow, and it is difficult for people and horses to pass, it is really a taboo to use soldiers, please think twice." ”

Liu Xin said disappreciatively: "The Huns are good at riding and shooting, and if they leave the war horse, they will be at a loss. Now, the heavy snow makes it difficult for the war horses to move forward, which is not good for our army, but it is even worse news for the Huns. The two sides are weighed, and they can take advantage of this surprise to win. Gonghe, don't worry, Zilong is quite measured, he knows what to do. ”

Frustrated, it was inconvenient to say anything, so he promised and withdrew.

Seeing that Fu Zhu had retreated, Diao Chan, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly walked in, bowed deeply, and said, "I don't know what the adults have to call the people to come, what are your orders?" ”

It turned out that Liu Xin wanted to order the two little maids who were waiting in the study just now to ask them to invite Minchan to come over, but only halfway through the words, he came in, and he put this aside in advance. Because they came to the study and had some confidential things to discuss, the two maids were very well-behaved and quickly withdrew.

Don't look at these two maids on duty in the study, wandering around Liu Xin all day long, it seems that they can get close to the water. In fact, because of the rules set by Ma Yun earlier, they hardly had any chances. Moreover, when they work in the study, they will inevitably come into contact with some confidential things, and they will not be like other maids, and when they get older, they will be matched. Even if they are transferred out of the study, it will take another three or five years for some of the secrets they have been exposed to no longer become secrets or do not need to be kept secret. will let them marry, but by that time, they have already become old girls.

Among them was a little girl named Arou, although she was illiterate, but she was intelligent by nature, and she quickly understood the joints, and the joy when she was just transferred to the study was gradually replaced by sorrow. However, Arou did not accept her fate, she had already figured out that even the maids in other places were the same, they would inevitably be assigned to the fate of domestic slaves, in addition to becoming the personal maid of a certain lady, there was hope of becoming the master.

Ma Yun, Bian Yu, and Cai Yan all have very close girls around them, and she will definitely not be able to insert them. Zhu Qian's own status in the state pastor's mansion was similar to that of her subordinates, she did many things by herself, and she didn't need any personal girls. And Cai Jue's family is a wealthy family in Jingzhou, in order to please Liu Xin, the ten wedding girls Cai Mao chose for her sister are all charming beauties, even if she squeezes in, it is for nothing. As for Zhu Rong, she couldn't even think about it. Although there is only one eleven or twelve-year-old girl Zhu Yu by Zhu Rong's side, this Zhu Yu is a big ghost, and she is always innocent in front of Liu Xin.

However, Ah Rou recently made a new discovery, that is, the girl named Minchan in the house, it seems that the master's attitude towards her has changed. If you want to talk about beauty, several ladies are all alluring to the country and the city, but compared to this Minchan girl, I always feel that it is slightly inferior, and it is logical for the lord to fall in love with this Minchan girl. Ah Rou soon had a clear goal, striving to be the personal girl of this Minchan girl.

Although Liu Xin's words were not finished just now, the general meaning was to invite Minchan to come, so as soon as she left the study, Arou hurried to find Minchan. When Minchan heard that Liu Xin was looking for her, she was naturally full of joy, you must know that after coming to the State Pastoral Mansion for so many years, Liu Xin took the initiative to find her for the first time, not to mention that it was after her heart sprouted.

Although Liu Xin was slightly surprised by Minchan's sudden appearance, she didn't have time to delve into it, and said with a smile: "The girl doesn't have to be polite. How did you learn the Hun dance? ”

Dance is Diaochan's life, listening to Liu Xin ask about this, Diaochan's face suddenly brightened, and said crisply: "Lord Hui, the Hun dance is really different from my Han dance, enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the folk girls have practiced for many days, but they always have its form and rare its essence." If you want the folk girls to dance, can you allow the folk girls to practice for a while longer? ”

Liu Xin smiled and said: "Liu just asks casually, the girl doesn't have to take it to heart." The reason why the Xiongnu dance is enthusiastic and unrestrained is because they live on the vast grassland all the year round, you don't have that kind of experience, you naturally experience different feelings, and when you have the opportunity in the future, you go to the grassland for a walk, maybe you will understand. ”

Minchan lowered her head, thought about it very seriously, and said: "What the adults said is right, the folk girl grew up in the courtyard of the deep house since she was a child, except for the time when she came to Xiangyang from Chang'an, the fields she saw along the way were probably the most vast, and she really couldn't understand what it was like to be on the grassland." ”

Liu Xin laughed and said: "The field is not vast, at most it is open, and what is really vast is the vast and boundless sea." ”

Minchan blushed unconsciously, and said softly: "The people's girls are shallow, so the adults laugh." ”

Liu Xin realized that his laughter was a little presumptuous, and he couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment, and said: "It's nothing if one side raises one side of the water and soil." Akihime is also practicing Hu Ji, and I think she's probably in a similar situation to you. ”

Minchan said embarrassedly: "The third lady's talent in music and rhythm is really unprecedented, and the lady got the Hu Tomato and only practiced for three days, even those Hun girls sighed to themselves." Madame also made up some tunes by herself, and when she got acquainted with them, she would play them for adults. ”

Speaking of this, Minchan's face was full of envy.

Liu Xin was stunned, remembering the famous eighteen beats of Hu Qi, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Hu Qi's voice is sad and desolate, don't listen to it." ”

Minchan's face was full of astonishment, staring at Liu Xin with a pair of big eyes inexplicably, Cai Yan would come to the small courtyard next to the study with her almost every day, she learned dance from the Hun girls, Cai Yan played Hu Qi on the side, those music were obviously cheerful and unrestrained, how did it become sad and desolate when it came to Liu Xin's mouth?

Liu Xin didn't feel that he was saying anything wrong, and had already continued: "Let's not talk about this for now. Miss Minchan, Liu invited you over today because I want to discuss something with you. ”

Minchan's heart was beating wildly, Liu Xin is not just Jingzhou Mu now, but the overlord of the party who is in charge of the land of the four states and has hundreds of thousands of troops, what can he discuss with him? Minchan was both a little expectant and a little apprehensive, biting her sexy red lips, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly: "If the adults have anything to tell directly, why do you need to discuss it with the people's daughters." ”
