Xianbei Mountain is not a mountain, but a collective name for a group of mountains.

In later generations, he should be in the southern foothills of the Daxing'an Mountains within the ** city near Heilongjiang.

At this time, this most beautiful grassland of the Celestial Empire in later generations was still a primitive and wild scene.

Heavy snowfall, covering the mountains and burying the lakes.

The tribes and their livestock, which had been grazing and frolicking in the grasslands in the summer, had now taken refuge in the mountains.

The Xianbei people found and hollowed out many stone caves in the mountains.

These caves, some of which are so commonplace, that even slaves and low-level herdsmen can enter and exit at will.

But some were solemn and sacred, and only the elders and shamans of the tribe were allowed to enter and exit.

The current Lord Xianbei, the Xianbei King of the Xiongnu Shan Yu canonization, is the late Xianbei Lord, the cousin who suffered an unjustified disaster and his head was given to the emperor of the Han Dynasty to dissipate his anger.

The Xianbei people do not have surnames, even the leaders and the highest levels of the tribe.

Therefore, the tribe generally takes the name of the leader as the surname.

The current adult, the highest-ranking Xianbei King, is called Qiu Kegu.

Therefore, the slaves and herdsmen in the tribe are generally called Qiu Kegu XX.

Of course, like all nomads, Xianbei is not a unified centralized regime.

In addition to Qiu Kegu, there are as many as six or seven adults in the tribe.

Among these adults, Qiu Kegu is the smallest in strength and the weakest in force.

If it weren't for last year, his cousin, a tribal lord named 'Xianbei Tiger', was killed by the Xiongnu by the Xiongnu Shan Yu canonized King Xianbei by the Huns, this position. It's not Qiu Kegu's turn.

Qiu Kegu was elected as the head of the clan.

The root cause is that there are other adults in the tribe. I want to take him to the top cylinder.

If something goes wrong again, you can let him die instead.

But Qiu Kegu was obviously unwilling to accept such a fate.

Right now. Qiu Kegu sat in a stone cave that belonged to the clan leader and was eligible to enter, and this stone cave had been rearranged by him.

A layer of soft sheepskin stalls was laid in the cave, and there was a fire in the cave, and Qiu Kegu sat by the fire, holding an object in his hand.

Under the light of the fire. The words on this bamboo slip are still clearly visible.

In the stone cave, Qiu Kegu was the only one at the moment.

His loyal and reliable guards stood guard for him at the entrance of the cave, so that he could read aloud the words on the bamboo slips without fear.

"Zi said: There are friends from afar, they are happy, people don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen!" Qiu Kegu seemed to like this sentence very much. He recited it several times, but the language he recited was mixed with many Xianbei speeches. So, as quirky as it sounds, one might even say. No one in the world knows what he's comparing or not, except for himself.

But he was clearly very proud. The waist pole sat straight, trying to imitate the appearance of the Han Dynasty doctor who didn't know where it looked.

But it's a pity. His bearded hairstyle and the obvious left-sided placket betrayed him deeply.

Instead, it made his appearance look very funny.

However, he didn't mind his current appearance at all, put down the bamboo slip, kicked it into his arms, and hid it like a treasure.

Then, he shook his head and said: "With the etiquette of a gentleman, I invite friends from afar to come to my house as guests, presumably these distant friends will not mind, even if these friends have opinions!" ”

"They don't know my good intentions, so some opinions are normal, Zhong Ni said, people don't know and don't be ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? That's it! ”

But hearing his tone, the two guards standing guard at the entrance of the cave were so frightened that their teeth chattered, and their legs were a little weak.

In the past few months, the whole clan has known that the newly appointed adult Qiu Kegu is not as brave as the previous adult, nor is he as strong as other adults.

However, he is moody and fickle.

A lot of times, you think he's laughing, but he's angry, you think he's angry, but he's happy, but at other times, he's just like a normal person.

Therefore, the most feared thing in the tribe is that the adults are laughing or angry.

Because, no one can guess whether this new adult is happy or angry?

Especially when this adult muttered something completely unmeaning and incomprehensible to other people, his mind became even more difficult to guess.

Gradually, there was even a legend in the tribe that this lord was the reincarnation of a god, and the language he muttered was the language of the gods, which made it even more frightening - in the grassland, most of the gods also worked part-time on the devil's errand.

"I should be back...... Qiu Kegu counted the time, muttered in his mouth, and couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

Qiu Kegu's background is very peculiar.

His father was Lord Xianbei, and his mother was from the tribe of Lu Tazhi, the king of Donghu.

Similar marriages are very normal in the steppe.

Therefore, this is not the point, the point is that at the beginning, Xianbei Mountain, who married with his mother, and a few followers.

Among these followers, there was a Confucian scholar.

At first, no one knew, what was Confucianism?

Everyone treated him like a slave.

It wasn't until Qiu Kegu grew up that he felt that this old slave was acting very strangely on weekdays, so he was curious and wanted to explore.

And then what happened was more bloody.

This Confucian scholar, who claimed to have been an entourage of the Han Dynasty mission, became Qiu Kegu's teacher.

He also passed on his precious collection of books to Qiu Kegu.

However, this old Confucian died within a few years.

This made Qiu Kegu very sad, and he felt that there was no one in this world who could have a common language with him.

A few years ago, Qiu Kegu once went back to his mother's maiden home, and found a few Confucian students there, but unfortunately, after talking, Qiu Kegu was disappointed - they upheld the truth, but the teacher said something completely different.

It's a heresy.

But Qiu Kegu still reluctantly pressed his nose and used ten sheep. I bought back a Confucian who was said to be a fellow villager with his teacher.,Finally barely able to have someone to talk to.。

The only problem is. The other party seemed to have a hard time understanding the philosophy of him and his teacher.

"Hey, it's hard to find a confidant. I hope that this time in the Han Dynasty mission, I can meet a confidant......" Qiu Kegu sighed.

………………………………………………

At the same time, escorted by hundreds of Xianbei people, the Han Dynasty mission, which was coming from Beishan in North Korea, was trekking through the snow.

Zhang Weiyang walked beside Xu Jian, who was right, and beside Xu Jian, a man with a left shirt and a disheveled head, and his appearance was that of a Chinese Yidi. Talking to Xu Jian from time to time.

They spoke Chinese, so Mr. Zhang could understand what they were talking about.

"Xu Zhengzhi, when you go to Xianbei Mountain, you must be careful......" Yi Di, who was cloaked and had a left coat, said in the tone of a conversation between scholars and doctors: "The current Xianbei King, called Qiu Kegu, this person is moody. There is a kind of madman, his behavior is turbulent and crazy, his words are different from ordinary people, and he often has unrighteous words! ”

Talking and talking. Even Zhang Weiyang could hear it, this person seemed to have a gritty hatred for that Xianbei King.

This made Zhang Weiyang very incomprehensible.

Logically speaking, with the values of the people of the present world. was sent to the left, which is equivalent to automatically giving up the identity of Zhuxia. turned into Yidi, and never ceased to be a countryman.

At the beginning, Lu Xuan, Weilu, and Han Xin all did such things.

That is, yes. The person in front of him, who is almost the same as Chinese in terms of skin color, appearance and even language, is actually Yidi, who is Yidi, and it is very normal for Yidi to do things and even give advice.

But behind his back is his lord, and he speaks ill of his lord behind his back.

What is he going to do?

Not only Zhang Weiyang thinks so, but Xu Jian also thinks so.

So, Xu Jian asked: "Please tell me in detail, what kind of person is this Xianbei King?" ”

Although the scholars and aristocrats of China were very disdainful of these people who had been left behind and abandoned their ancestors and their homeland, if they were needed, the scholars would not despise or insult them because of their status.

The current Chinese scholars and aristocrats, especially those in the north, are basically pragmatists.

What works for me, who you are? All are welcome!

Under the Great Wall, the Han army sheltered many Yidi who defected.

In the past twenty or thirty years, the Xiongnu nobles who returned to China have also been rewarded and properly settled.

Even, some tribes who did not even know their origins and feet were protected by the imperial court, and even granted land for them to cultivate.

Longyou County, isn't there a Daxia County?

Now, aren't the people of the county already the people of the Han family, paying taxes and serving the imperial court?

The man sighed and said, "The current King of Xianbei, whose mother is from the clan of the Lu clan of the King of Donghu, was originally a side branch of the Lu family, and when his mother married Xianbei, she brought a mad Confucian student, and this person's thoughts are extremely blasphemous!" Well! It is blasphemy, he completely distorted the meaning of Confucius's Analects, and what is even more terrifying is that he taught the meaning of these distorted Analects to the current Xianbei King, known as Qiu Kegu! ”

The man gritted his teeth and said: "This person's behavior and speech can be called an enemy of the Tao, and I can't burn his text with hatred!" ”

Xu Jian listened, but it didn't matter.

Confucius?

O ancestor of Confucianism!

But it has nothing to do with Xu Jian, Xu Jian is a Legalist, and that's the same thing for Confucius.

Therefore, Xu Jian didn't have any empathy at all, but was as excited as if he had discovered a new continent.

King Xianbei misinterpreted Confucius's Analects?

What does it matter?

Aren't you Confucian scholars yourself the one who misinterprets the most?

Look at how far the Guliang faction and the Ram faction are competing against each other!

Therefore, it doesn't matter at all whether King Xianbei misinterpreted Confucius's classics!

The important thing is that this Xianbei king has read Confucius's "Analects", which is very important!

This is like in later generations, when diplomats of the Celestial Empire heard that the prime minister or speaker of a certain country was familiar with Chinese culture, and could even speak Chinese, they immediately had a good impression and felt that the other party could interact, even the media and the public.

But they completely ignored it, in terms of past records, these people are the most powerful anti-China.

It wasn't until after suffering a lot of losses that people began to wake up - it is not necessarily a friend who is familiar with you, but it may also be an enemy, and it is better to deal with those who don't know you.

That's pretty much the way it looks now.

I'm not afraid that Yidi understands culture, but I'm afraid that people are illiterate.

Scholars and doctors will always have a good impression of intellectuals, especially the intellectuals in Yidi, who are the favored objects of scholars!

What could be more than the greater credit of 'influencing' a Yidi, abandoning the darkness and turning the light into light, and even requesting to attach it and turning it into Xia?

If you succeed, get promoted and raised, and wave your hand, you will be on top of the future history, and your name will also be displayed in it, so that thousands of future generations will admire and worship.

Thinking like this, Xu Jian couldn't help but tremble, and he had a good impression of the Xianbei King on Xianbei Mountain.

It's just that Xu Jian is happy, and the Wuheng people are not happy at all.

Ye Lizhi found an opportunity, secretly found Zhang Weiyang, and said: "These Xianbei slaves don't know what idea they are fighting, but it must not be a good idea, you must be careful, don't be fooled!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Weiyang was suddenly a little curious, he looked at the hairstyles, clothes and skin colors of the Xianbei people around him, and then looked at Ye Lizhi, feeling that the difference between the two was almost equal to zero, so he asked: "I think you and Xianbei people seem to be of the same race?" But why is your relationship so bad? ”

"These lowly slaves!" Ye Lizhi snorted and muttered, and then explained, "We are Wuheng people, and they are Xianbei people!" ”

"Wu Heng, that's what we pronounce......" Ye Lizhi whispered an awkward noun.

Then, he said: "Xianbei's pronunciation is like this......" is another awkward noun, and then he looked at Zhang Weiyang and asked innocently: "Understand, right?" ”

Zhang Weiyang shook his head, he didn't know what Ye Lizhi meant at all.

Fortunately, Ye Lizhi was very good to Zhang Weiyang's brother, so he patiently explained: "Wuheng and Xianbei are just what outsiders call us, and we ourselves don't call them that...... Hmph, slave clan! ”

Ye Lizhi then explained to Zhang Weiyang the past and present lives and grievances and hatreds of the two clans.

After hearing this, Zhang Weiyang immediately silently kept these things in his heart, and planned to record them when he took a break.

Because, this information is too critical!

Even Zhang Weiyang knows that once this matter is confirmed, it is very likely that he will be rewarded by the imperial court and even promoted to an official because of this!

The reason is that, according to Ye Lizhi, a long time ago, Wuheng and Xianbei were originally the same family.

At that time, the tribesmen of the Wuheng tribe ruled the Xianbei people and used them as slaves.

Later, the Huns defeated the ancestors of the Wuheng people and expelled them to this icy and snowy world, and Xianbei and Wuheng were separated in the war.

Since then, the two have looked at each other unpleasantly.

One party thinks, I am the master, you are a cheap slave, and you dare to jump, see if I don't kill you?

The other party thinks that you have been defeated by others, and you still want to be powerful? Dream on! (To be continued.) )
