Volume 1 The Fierce and Sorrowful Wind Rises Chapter 59 Xianbei (3)

In the early morning of the next day, after Lu Yao dealt with several daily affairs, he went to the school for a routine inspection. I saw that both officers and non-commissioned officers were carefully practicing the formation and martial arts, and they did not slack off, which was quite satisfying. He himself is also a master of marksmanship, and after watching it for a while, he felt itchy skills, so he simply went down to the field to point out the omissions in the movements of several soldiers, and encouraged several soldiers who made rapid progress. At this moment, among the hundreds of soldiers in the school field, more than half of Lu Yao already knew him, who practiced hard and who was a little lazy, he was exactly the same.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Yao thought that since the relocation of the camp had been decided, he should notify Yousi in time, so he went to the Assassin's Mansion.

Out of the camp gate is the avenue, and Lu Yao walked along the avenue all the way to the north of the city. At this time, the market is busy, and there are some vendors selling goods on both sides of the road. The road is densely populated, which is quite a bit rubbing shoulders. Although the pedestrians have dishes on half of their faces, they are different from the ghost-like scene before the moon.

After walking for a while, we came to a crossroads. Turn to the right here, not far from the Han's blacksmith shop, which I had walked by a few days ago. There is a two-storey restaurant in the southeast corner of the street, which is a new building made of new wood. Although the wine sold in the restaurant is extremely bland, it still attracts many customers to stay here, and Xue Tong is a frequent visitor here.

Lu Yao walked past the door of the restaurant, and suddenly heard a sky-high price in the building, and a shopkeeper flew out hand on hand. Seeing that he was about to fall and be seriously injured, Lu Yao rushed forward in a few steps and gently caught the shopkeeper.

Putting down the shopkeeper who was scared to dementia, Lu Yao walked forward. The people of the state are fierce, and the fights between the people are almost every day, Lu Yao is not a soldier patrolling the city, how can he care about this idle matter.

As soon as he took a step, several people crawled out of the ground amid screams. A short man in a rough felt coat chased him out of the restaurant, scolded a few words in a loud voice, and then turned back to the building, and he didn't know what to say, and many people in the restaurant laughed together.

The man braided his hair into four thick braids and draped it, and hung a gold medallion around his waist, which was a custom unique to the Xianbei people.

Why are you that Xianbei people again? Lu Yao frowned. He could barely understand a few words of Xianbei language, and the man's scolding was the most insulting language in Xianbei language.

Lu Yao stopped and thought about it, whether he wanted to stop those Xianbei people from acting recklessly? At this moment, several patrolmen rushed across the street, led by a handsome young leader. Lu Yao traveled a lot on these streets, and recognized him as Liu Yan's right-hand man, who was responsible for the security of a large area in the south of the city. Although Lu Yao had never exchanged names and surnames with him, they recognized each other's appearances.

The security of Jinyang City was originally the purview of General Liu Yan, and since his subordinates had arrived, it was inconvenient for Lu Yao to do more. He quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the Thorn Mansion.

When he arrived at the Assassin's Mansion to sign up, Wen Qiao greeted him after a while, not to mention official business, but said apologetically: "Today is unfortunate." The lord has important things to do, and he can't see it for a while. If you have time, you might as well wait in the study for a while. ”

Wen Qiao raised his hand and led Lu Yao to the east wing, which was the study room used by Wen Qiao and other civil officials every day, and sometimes used to entertain guests. Lu Yao walked a few steps, and suddenly his heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Could it be that a Xianbei nobleman is visiting?" ”

Wen Qiao bowed his head and said: "Yes, a few days ago, the Lord sent someone to write to Tuoba Xianbei. Therefore, Duguzhen, the chief of Tuoba Xianbei in the west, came to visit the lord. ”

It turns out that Tuoba Xianbei is not monolithic, but composed of more than 100 large and small tribes, which are divided into three parts: eastern, central and western, and are led by three great chiefs. The patriarch Tuoba Luguan ruled the east of the country, living in the north of the upper valley and the west of the source of the river, bordering the Xianbei Yuwen Department. Although Tuoba Lu was nominally the head of a clan, his strength and prestige were far inferior to that of his nephew, the grandson of the former patriarch Liwei.

Tuoba Yihui commanded all the ethnic groups in the central part of the country and lived in the Daijun Shenhepo. His people once traveled to the north of the desert, the tribes of the Xiluo steppe, and in five years, the tribes were subordinated to more than 30 countries. Since then, Tuoba Yihui has responded to the call of the imperial court to defeat the Huns, beheaded the famous generals of the Huns, and his majesty was greatly inspired, so he was awarded the big single Yu by the imperial court, and was given a gold seal and purple ribbon.

Tuoba Yilu, the younger brother of Tuoba Yi, led all the ethnic groups in the west, lived in Dingxiang Shengle, and his sphere of influence spread throughout Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and other counties. Compared with Luguan and Yiyi, Tuoba Yilu's strength is slightly inferior, but it also controls more than 100,000 strings, and it is one of the few powerful forces on the grassland.

Today's visit is the extremely powerful tribe of Tuoba Yilu's subordinates, the chief of the Dugu tribe, Dugu Zhi. This Xianbei tribe is close to Jinyang and very powerful, and when its tribal adults visit, even Yue Shigong had to be treated ceremoniously.

Wen Qiao explained a few words, and then asked, "What, Daoming, did you see them?" ”

Lu Yao smiled bitterly: "It's not just that I saw it, but I also suffered a small loss." Those Xianbei people are really rude. Immediately talking about what he saw yesterday evening, Wen Qiao couldn't help but shake his head frequently, and sighed: "Xianbei people are barbaric. The day before yesterday, the lord sent Yang Qiao to join the army, and he was responsible for receiving them, and it was very difficult to come to Yang to join the army. ”

Lu Yao could only not comment on this. The civil official who scolded his party yesterday was naturally Yang Qiao, and his behavior was really hateful, but Lu Yao didn't want to attack his colleagues behind his back, so he simply didn't mention this person.

After chatting for a few more words, he suddenly remembered the luxurious horsewhip he had taken from the Xianbei cavalry yesterday, so Lu Yao took out the horsewhip and solemnly handed it to Wen Qiao: "Brother Taizhen, please take a look." This was taken yesterday during the conflict with the Xianbei people, and seeing that it is so luxurious, it is estimated that it is the Xianbei chieftain's own use. If it's convenient, you might as well return it to them for me. ”

Wen Qiao borrowed the horsewhip, looked at it intently, and suddenly seemed to be a little distracted, and then said that he had other affairs, and said goodbye to be busy with his own affairs. Lu Yao didn't mind, so he waited in the study.

A moment later, the sound of drumming outside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion was loud, and it must have been Dugu Zhi and his party who arrived.

Lu Yao waited for half an hour, and no one came to call him, so he took the scroll from the bookshelf and looked through it. When I opened the book, I saw this line of words: Hu of the state, and the evil of the Huns...... Lu Yao felt familiar, and after a few more glances, it turned out to be Chen Liuren Jiang Tong's "Treatise on Migration", and immediately felt boring.

Jiang Tong was an official in the shogunate of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, with Lu Shihenggong in the past, and Lu Yao also knew a little about him. On the point that the Hu people living in the interior must be troubled, this person sees it quite accurately. However, just as the common problem of the literati of this dynasty, Jiang Tong sprinkled a macro essay in Yangyang, counting the origins, beginnings and ends of the Hu people in Yong, Liang, Qin, and other prefectures, but did not put forward a truly operational countermeasure. Where is it easy to migrate millions of Hu people to their homeland outside the Saiwai! What kind of charter is it? How does it work? How to avoid contradictions in the implementation process? How can we make up for the lack of population after the Hu people moved out?

What's more, Jiang Tong's viewpoint is actually very biased. In Lu Yao's view, the essence of the contradiction between the northern nomads and the Chinese nation is only the transformation of strength and weakness. When the Chinese nation was strong, the Saiwaihu people were naturally weak, and they had to bow down and obey orders, willing to be driven like eagles and dogs; And when the Chinese nation was weakened, the Hu people took advantage of the situation to become stronger, and even coveted artifacts and tried in vain to enter the Central Plains. There is no third case. Unless the Han regime can show the Hu people to be strong, no amount of planning is doomed to be useless.

The root cause of today's erosion is not that there are too many Hu people scattered in the Central Plains, but that the ruling class of the imperial court with the Sima clan as the core has become corrupted to an incredible extent. At this point in its own decay, what will be the difference in the final result of those Hu people who are in the heart or outside the fortress?

Lu Yao put the "Theory of Migration" back in its place, and was about to rummage through other books to read, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and there were chaotic footsteps sounding intensively, and some people shouted angrily: "Wait for the way!" I will meet my lords now, and I will not settle with them! ”

Who is so bold? Thinking so, Lu Yao paced to the door of the study and looked out.

At first glance, I couldn't help but be taken aback. Standing in the front hall of the Thorn Mansion, roaring like thunder, it turned out to be Liu Yan. Seeing that his face was flushed, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly because of his clenched teeth, he was undoubtedly extremely angry. There were several civil officials on duty in the Assassin's Mansion around him who kept persuading, but obviously it didn't have any effect.

This really confused Lu Yao. You must know that although Yue Shigong is a well-known general of the unified army, when it comes to his status in the heart of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, he is not as good as his brother Liu Yu and Liu Qingsun. Liu Yu, as the king of the East China Sea, was in charge of the secrets of the imperial court and participated in important military affairs, and was one of the three famous men known as the "Three Talents of Yuefu". And Liu Yan is the son of Liu Yu and the nephew of Yue Shigong!

With this relationship, in the shogunate of Yue Shigong, who can make Liu Yan angry like this? Lu Yao was thinking about it, and Liu Yan had already seen him at a glance. He shouted loudly: "Lu Daoming! I didn't think you'd be here! Come, come, come with me to the Lord and be a witness! As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yao's wrist.

Lu Yao was really a little confused, and it was difficult to forcibly break free, so he had to ask repeatedly: "General Liu, Brother Shiren!" Don't be in a hurry, and tell me, what is it that is so angry? ”

After a pause, Lu Yao persuaded again: "I heard that the Lord is receiving Xianbei guests at this moment, if you rush to see it, I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient." ”
