Liu Muzhi's expression changed slightly and he shook his head: "Jinu, you can't say that. Wang Meng had no way to choose his birth. When he came to this world, the place he lived in was already dominated by barbarians.
Strictly speaking, the country of the Hu people is his motherland. As a scholar, he learned civil and military skills, repaid the emperor's family, and became prime minister in a Qin country that did not oppress the Han people and practiced benevolence and righteousness."
Tan Pingzhi also nodded: "Yes, it is better to have such a Han as the prime minister than to have those rude and barbaric Hu people who do not know the way of benevolence and righteousness as the prime minister. At least we Han people in the north can still live.
Of course, it would be better if the Jin Dynasty could work hard and regain its territory through the Northern Expedition. But the current situation is barely acceptable."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "If the Qin State is so good, why did it put those Zhai tribe Ding Ling people on the southern border? He brought these savage and rude Hu people to the border, didn't he just want to harm our Han people in Jin Dynasty?
Well, why didn't he bring these people to his border in Guanzhong Chang'an?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "You can't really let Fu Jian put the Han people higher than the Di people. Jinu, you have to know that these Hu people live nomadically, and they only live in places with rich water and grass.
It is suitable for them to live. Guanzhong is a farming area. Although there are thousands of miles of grassland, it has already accommodated too many barbarian tribes. Many who cannot stay here have to be resettled elsewhere."
"As for Zhai Bin, he has been placed in the Mianchi area of Henan since the Shizhao period, adjacent to the Huaihe River. It is equivalent to guarding the southern border for the Hu people in the north for generations. You really can't blame Fu Jian for this.
"
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "Well, you have already explained the history and origins of the Wuhu. Now I understand in my heart that for a hundred years, Han people who are unwilling to be slaves of the northern barbarians have been going south.
The Jin Dynasty has also been organizing the Northern Expedition, which is why our Han Dynasty can continue to this day."
"My ancestors, Liu Yu, fled from the north. The family motto is that we descendants of the Liu family should regain our lost territory and return to our homeland. But this time, I was oppressed by dog officials like the Diao brothers and had to take revenge first.
Let’s talk about these things again. By the way, what kind of person is Zhai Bin? Is he worthy of trust?”
Tan Pingzhi nodded affirmatively: "Zhai Bin is already over seventy years old. He is regarded as a longevity god among the Hu people, because they rarely exceed forty years old. He has been a tribe member since the time of Shi Le.
The leaders came to the Central Plains. It has been more than fifty years now. The Mianchi area has been the territory of the Dingling people of the Zhai tribe for generations, and their number is hundreds of thousands."
"It's just that these Dingling people have not changed their habit of robbing and stealing since ancient times. When Su Wu, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, was herding sheep in Beihai, he stole sheep for the Dingling people. But at most they are just thieves. They will steal some when they are short of food and clothing.
Or steal something without committing murder or arson."
"When we went south this time, we were chased all the way by the Jie tribesmen and the Qin soldiers who specialized in hunting down fugitives. The route from the south of Shandong to the Huaihe River was heavily guarded, so we had no choice but to leave the Ding Ling people.
When Zhai Bin saw our whole family moving south, he lamented that they had moved their whole tribe to the Central Plains in the same way back then. He was so moved by the scene that he burst into tears."
Wei Yongzhi followed up and said: "Yes, Zhai Bin and his nephew Zhai Zhen are now in charge of the tribe. They both said that they could not return to Kang Ju's old home, but they could help us go south to recognize our ancestors. So they
They let us go because the Zhai tribe has been operating in the area for a long time, and other Hu people and the Qin army did not dare to enter their territory to arrest people at will, so we were able to enter the Jin Dynasty. Otherwise, it is really hard to say whether we would have survived.
Entering the Jin Dynasty."
Liu Yu let out a long breath: "I didn't expect that your journey would be so difficult. The idea of joining the Zhai tribe must have come from Meng Chang."
Tan Pingzhi nodded: "Yes, without Brother Meng's suggestion, we people really couldn't make this decision. After all, before I went, I only heard that Ding Ling people like to steal and rob by nature, and even the Qin army did not dare to enter them.
Our territory is completely semi-independent, so I’m a little scared.”
Liu Yu said seriously: "Then if my family members go to Zhai's tribe, will Zhai Bin really take them in?"
Wei Yongzhi smiled and said: "Of course, although these barbarians are fierce and disrespectful, one good thing is that they are righteous and generous. If people from far away are in trouble and come to seek refuge, they will protect them. Not only us, there are many
People who committed crimes in the Qin and Jin countries fled to them and were taken in. There is only one thing: they are not allowed to do evil again, otherwise they will be lynched in half according to the tribe's lynching method."
When Liu Muzhi heard this, he sighed: "These Ding Ling people are really strange. They go out to steal and rob in an organized manner, but these things are not allowed in their own tribe. It's interesting."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Fat man, you have learned a lot, how come you don't even know this? You go out to rob to make up for the lack of living materials. I'm afraid these Dingling people are not very good at farming, and their level of nomadicism is not very good. They don't rob."
He would have to starve to death. Moreover, I heard that among the Hu people, strength is valued. If you go out to rob, you can see who is more capable and can be the leader in the future. They are not like the Han people in Jin Dynasty who rely on recommendation to become officials."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "That's right. In this way, the Zhai tribe is a good place to stay. Jinu, you can send your father and two younger brothers there first, and we will help you get revenge together. After revenge,
You go there too."
The look in Liu Yu's eyes turned gloomy: "No, I can't go. I am the eldest son of the Liu family and I want to inherit the family tradition. No matter how good the Zhai tribe is, it is an enemy country and a foreign race. If I go there, it will be my Liu family."
I gave up my identity as a Han and became a barbarian. Even my mother and two younger brothers can only stay there temporarily. They will come back when the storm is over. Besides, after this matter is really done, if I
If we don't surrender, my family will become defectors to the enemy's country, and we will never be able to escape the name of traitors."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "The distinction between Hu and Han is not so strict. In the history of the Jin Dynasty, high-ranking officials and generals fled to the north after the struggle failed. In the north, Han families and even Hu families continued to go south to join. Solve the conflict between Hu and Han
, blindly relying on killing like Ran Min will not work in the end, it is better to change the customs and let the barbarians learn the tricks of the Han people and become Han people, which is the long-term way."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Don't take the long way, fat man, help me figure it out first, how to kill Diao Kui!"
