Chapter 1060 Han and Hu cooperate to serve their ancestors
Liu Yu looked at Tuoba Gui, his face as dark as water, and said seriously: "You came to the Central Plains, looted cities, robbed people, and even once drowned eight thousand women in Yishui. For these crimes, you helped us Han people after all.
For the sake of resisting the Huns, I don’t have to settle accounts with you, but you can’t say that this is a matter of course! As an individual, no one should take these things for granted!”
Tuoba Gui said coldly: "Didn't you people from the Central Plains do the same thing when you conquered our grassland? Wherever you went, you burned, killed and plundered, slaughtered men, and rewarded women and children. These are just war traditions. You don't give us anything.
When we pay for the army, we send troops and shed blood. Is it possible that all our hard work is in vain? What you don’t know is that our Tuoba clan rarely wants these trophies, but those servant tribes have no profit and can’t afford it. You lead them to fight
, and if we don’t give them any benefits, as long as they come here once or twice, our grassland will start to have internal strife!”
An Tong also said: "Yes, Liu Yu, things are not what you think. Tuoba Aqan's ancestors sent troops to rescue Liu Kun many times, but later he saw that Bingzhou was in ruins and the people were suffering, so he couldn't bear to do it again.
He followed the rules and allowed his subordinates to rob, which aroused dissatisfaction among his subordinates. His son Tuoba Liuxiu attacked and killed his father, which led to decades of bloody chaos in the grassland. Various tribes attacked each other. Liu Kun also lost his foreign aid and could no longer do anything.
Resist Shi Le's attack, and finally die in the north. You have also led soldiers, and you should know that there is nothing worth fighting for, and soldiers are not willing to die."
Tuoba Gui sighed: "In fact, when we aided Liu Kun, it was not entirely for the spoils of war, but the process of sending troops south to obtain supplies and people from the Central Plains was itself a process of establishing prestige and fame on the grasslands.
At that time, our Tuoba clan had just arrived in Monan. Although we had conquered many tribes by force, our rule was still very unstable. Even like the Baibei Xianbei who used to be entrenched in the east, they secretly contacted various tribes and wanted to resist, let alone
It is said that the Tiefu Xiongnu live in Hetao and dream every day to take back the Khan's Court."
"So our ancestors made the decision to go south to aid the Jin Dynasty. Although everyone knows that the Jin Dynasty has abandoned the Central Plains and is exhausted. The north will be dominated by the barbarians. But if the barbarians attack each other, there will be long-term chaos. The foundation of our Tuoba family
, is still on the grassland, and since we do not plan to take over the Central Plains when our foundation is insufficient, then taking the opportunity of sending troops to the Central Plains to benefit each department and establish prestige at the same time is the best choice."
Liu Yu suddenly realized, looked at Tuoba Gui, and said: "So that's it, by jointly sending troops to the Central Plains, you can complete the control of various grassland tribes. On the one hand, they will consume their strength in foreign wars, and on the other hand, they can also benefit.
, even if I die, I will still be grateful to you, right?"
Tuoba Gui nodded: "Yes, on the grassland, things need to be done fairly. The spoils obtained after the battle must be distributed according to the size of the effort. We let their troops rush to the front. They will lose the most and gain more spoils.
However, our own soldiers and horses have retained their strength. Over the past few years, the strength of each department has become weaker and weaker, but our strength has become stronger and stronger. If it had not been for the unexpected situation of rebellion, I am afraid that we would have the strength to restore Liu Kun to the country.
Woolen cloth."
Liu Yu wondered: "But if other tribes develop and grow during the war, and your headquarters does not receive the supplement of population and supplies, how can the situation you want happen?"
Tuoba Gui and An Tong looked at each other and said with a smile: "You have also forgotten that this overlord tribe has the right to trade with the Central Plains. Liu Kun's position is stable, so he can send caravans in the territory to trade with us.
The Hun prisoners of war he brought, as well as the handmade copperware and silk from the Central Plains, are things that cannot be obtained by fighting. Even if our tribe has no results, the benefits of these trades are firmly grasped.
In ten years, the Tuoba tribe has become the largest tribe in the grasslands, and no other tribe can compare with us in terms of strength or motivation."
Liu Yu sighed: "They say that the grassland people are honest and simple, but I didn't expect that your ancestors were so cunning. They not only gained a reputation as a loyal savior, but also consolidated their rule on the grassland through these actions. It's amazing, so awesome."
Awesome."
Tuoba Gui smiled meaningfully: "Nearly a hundred years ago, the Tuoba tribe and Liu Kun joined forces and became a legend throughout the ages. In fact, each got what he needed. Liu Kun became the last hope and great hero of the Han people in the north. We
The Tuoba clan also unified Monan and finally established the Dai Kingdom. Now that nearly a hundred years have passed, we have been favored by the God of Destiny and have come here. Isn't this the will of God? It means that we should imitate our ancestors and do the old things.
Liu Yu, are you willing to help me and yourself?"
The expression on Liu Yu's face became extremely serious, and he looked directly at Tuoba Gui: "Let's not talk about whether I will do it or not, Liu Kun, but I will just talk about you. Do you also plan to lead the grassland ministries in the future, just like you?
Like your ancestors, they went into the Central Plains to kill people and set fires, and finally returned to the grassland with a large amount of trophies, prisoners, women and children, and used the lives and wealth of these Central Plains people to win over and please your servant tribe?"
The corner of Tuoba Gui's mouth twitched and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu, I understand what you mean, but there are laws of war in war. Isn't this the same way your Jin army regained its lost territory?"
Liu Yu said loudly: "Of course it is different. The places we regained will appease the people. They were only temporarily enslaved by the enemy and had no choice but to become subjects driven by the barbarians. After they were recovered by us, they will naturally be benevolent and righteous."
, the people will be organized into households, and they will be exempted from taxes and taxes within a few years. How can we let them come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den again?"
An Tong suddenly said: "Lord, I think what Liu Yu is worried about is reasonable. He is bent on regaining the country for the Han people, so how can he send his own people to the fire bed? To achieve great things, you don't have to be limited to a moment.
At the end of the day, what Liu Kun wants is fame, and he can allow the reinforcements of the Tuoba tribe to plunder the people of the captured Han and Zhao cities, but what Brother Liu wants is the interests of the Han people, so he cannot do that."
Tuoba Gui frowned: "What do you mean?"
An Tong turned to Liu Yu and said, "What do you think? If we help you retake the Central Plains and attack the land of Later Yan and Later Qin, it is impossible to return empty-handed. If you really gain a foothold in the north,
Don’t forget our righteous deed of sending troops. In the next ten years, give us one-third of the tax every year as a reward for sending troops. How about we not take anyone captive or take anything?”
Liu Yu looked at An Tong for a long time, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face: "I was almost moved to agree to you, but when I thought of my wife Murong Lan, I suddenly realized that I must not follow
