Fei Qian was sitting in the hall, watching Wang Ying's figure go away, still with a smile on his face.
Pang Tong came around from the other side and stood at the door of the hall to look at Wang Ying who was walking away. Then he walked into the hall and bowed his hands in greeting, "My lord, this Wang's daughter... failed to mention any strategies.
There is no specific strategy, I’m afraid it’s...』
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
Although Wang Ying mustered up the courage and asked herself to go to Taiyuan to handle related matters, when asked what to do or what preparations she had, she was speechless and a little confused.
This is not to say that Wang Ying is stupid, but that she has no experience in this field at all.
If it's an ordinary person, that's fine, but as a superior person, if you don't have your own opinion or don't know how to deal with it, then there will be some problems.
If you have no experience, you can learn and ask others for advice, but first you need to know who to ask for advice.
Wang Ying directly found Fei Qian, showing her courageous side, but finding Fei Qian without a corresponding strategy revealed another side of her that was incompetent.
"Let's see first..." Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "You always have to give it a try." People, you can't say that you will be in a perfect state like Brother Pig as soon as you appear. You have to kill some monsters to increase your experience points.
It's impossible to say that you can scale up your moves as soon as you come up, right?
It’s easy to criticize this arrogance from a high place, to criticize that self-righteousness, to point out this matter, and to dislike that one because you can’t even think of this. It’s really simple to say this, just using words, some people like it very much, but in the end, you really have to do it
When, um...
It still depends on what exactly is done.
Pang Tong thought for a while and then nodded. Anyway, there is Xun Chen in Pingyang, and Xun Chen also sent a letter describing some relevant situations, which shows that Xun Chen is also paying attention to this matter, so he only needs to mention something to Xun Chen
Let him pay attention to the situation at Wang Ying's side, and it is not impossible to stop providing a certain amount of help when necessary.
So Pang Tong didn't say much, but focused on another matter. "My lord, there is news from Yinshan, Yu Fuluo... will die soon..."
Fei Qian not only had spies with Cao Cao, but also in many other places. These spies provided Fei Qian with a lot of information, some of which would be delivered directly to Fei Qian, while others were sent to Pang Tong Shangshu.
Taiwan is used for processing, such as the information about the Southern Huns in Yinshan.
Fei Qian frowned slightly, then took the information delivered by Pang Tong and read it up and down.
The research and improvement of papermaking technology has brought many new changes.
The original "Five Carts of Learned Riches", if all those wooden tablets and bamboo slips were now replaced with paper scrolls, I am afraid that one car, or even half a car, could fit in it.
The carrying capacity of knowledge has been greatly improved, and the circulation speed of information has also been accelerated. Just like before, if you wanted to deliver such information, you either had to be concise, or you had to send someone with a thick volume of books and bamboo slips.
…
Fei Qian looked at it, shook his head and said with a smile, "This is really...not from my race, and his mind must be different..."
In fact, the phrase "Those who are not of my race must have different minds" in the Chunqiu Zuozhuan do not have the same meaning as in later generations. The original intention was to refer to the people of Chu...
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Jin and Chu were fighting for hegemony, the State of Lu was caught between the two overlords. Duke Cheng of Lu went to see Duke Jin of Jin and was treated rudely. He was so angry that he planned to seek refuge with the State of Chu. His minister Ji Wenzi warned him: "You are not of my race."
, His heart must be different. Although Chu is a large country, it is not from my clan, so is it willing to be called me?" The original meaning of this clan is very narrow, and it is actually a clan with different surnames, not a clan of a nation.
Even earlier, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were not of the same race.
From the tribal clans to the Chinese nation, the Chinese people have traveled for thousands of years. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the country gradually disappeared, and then the title of "Zhuxia" came into being, and in the Han Dynasty, there were also "Han people"
This collective name.
Therefore, when Feiqian said this at this time, it was not pure nationalism, nor had it anything to do with blood ties, but rather a regional and political point of view.
If it is Chinese, it will be Chinese.
Those who are barbarians are barbarians.
Although Chu was Zhuanxu, after Zhurong, he had been secluded in the south for a long time, eating rice and eating fish, so it was unusual for him to be discriminated against by the princes named Ji, Jiang and Zi in the Central Plains. Even the descendants of the serious Ji surnamed were the same people of Lu.
The King of Wu also became a barbarian in his lifestyle, eventually abandoned rituals and music, and switched to speaking the barbarian language. He was also scolded by the Central Plains as a barbarian beast.
Perhaps because of this, Chinese people have a deep-seated rejection of tattoos, not only because tattoos have become a method of punishment since the Spring and Autumn Period, but also because people with short hair and tattoos all over their bodies have always represented "barbarians".
The main thing is the human concept. Just because you were born in China, you are not necessarily a Chinese. We must prevent those Chinese people who become "barbarians" in their hearts. At the same time, if you are not born in a barbarian, you will always be a barbarian...
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu looked at the State of Chu and felt that the State of Chu was a barbarian.
In the late Warring States period, the Six Kingdoms looked at Qin and felt that Qin was a barbarian.
But now, when looking at Guanzhong in Shandong, don't they feel that Guanzhong is a barbarian and is regarded as "the same as the Rong and Di"?
Fei Qian touched his beard and put the information aside, "We can't take action on this matter first."
Pang Tong said: "If we don't take action, the situation may get worse."
The Southern Xiongnu are not only the Southern Xiongnu themselves, but also provide products for Feiqian's livestock industry and war horse breeding.
Therefore, the large internal losses of the Southern Xiongnu will inevitably affect part of Feiqian's livestock industry chain.
What Fei Qian needs to decide now is whether to take this risk.
"In the pre-Qin period, the six countries unified the sea, and the six countries were considered vassals." Fei Qian said slowly, "The cars share the same track, the books share the same text... This is just a system. To make the system universal, we are still human beings."
The Southern Xiongnu were the first batch of nomadic people to focus on education, so they must be cautious, because this is related to the entire education system.
Only when the "Han people" understand how to educate and have a successful example, the "Han people" will not reject education, will not find it troublesome to preach, and will they understand how to eliminate the gap between "us" and "them"
limit.
If the method is too drastic, it will inevitably lead to some sequelae of education.
Pang Tong touched his chin, "If the lord doesn't want to strike first, then we can only let them do it themselves..."
"What do you think?" Fei Qian asked.
Pang Tong chuckled and said, "Reporting to my lord, this Yufuluo... has two good sons..."
……( ̄▽ ̄)“……
Under the same sky, there are different lives.
Humphrey was dying.
Infighting on the grasslands is actually no less common than in China.
In other words, as long as creatures like humans gather together, when the number of people increases, there will be infighting.
Yuvrou hopes to pass on the position of Chanyu to the third prince. Even though everyone knows that compared with the Chanyu of the Huns back then, this Chanyu is like gold and brass. Even if they are the same size, their value is completely different.
.
But after all, it is still a family business.
Is not it?
The eldest prince was aware of this, so when Humphrey became seriously ill at first and was unable to take care of himself, the eldest prince immediately had the third prince "transferred" to the royal court and sent someone to "take care of" him.
What could be safer than keeping it under one's own nose? If it is moved to another place and no one is taken care of, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? If it is imprisoned in a place where it can be seen by one's own men, there will be no problem.
"Your Majesty! Kill him! You must kill him!" In front of Liu Bao, the eldest prince of the Southern Huns, a middle-aged man wearing a leather robe said in a deep voice, "I understand the kindness in your heart, just like in the sky."
The sun shines on everything, blessing all directions... But Your Majesty, under this sunshine, there are also evil wolves with malicious intentions..."
The eldest prince Liu Bao pondered.
The middle-aged man persuaded again, but Liu Bao still couldn't make up his mind, "I know you are doing it for my own good, but...but I can't do this...I, I can't do it, after all."
He is my third brother..."
"Your Majesty, you regard him as your brother, but he may not recognize you as his elder brother!" The middle-aged man took a step forward, "If I hadn't made a decision earlier..."
"Okay, that's it," Liu Bao stopped the middle-aged man's persuasion, "I read the scriptures of the sages, and the sages didn't teach me the truth about killing my brothers... That's it!"
The middle-aged man sighed, then lowered his head, "Follow the king's wishes."
After coming out of Liu Bao's side, the middle-aged man walked slowly inside the royal court. After a while, someone suddenly followed him and asked in a low voice: "How?"
"The eldest prince did not agree." The middle-aged man replied.
"What should we do?"
The middle-aged man turned his head slightly and looked in another direction, "The only thing we can do is...let him take action first..."
In a corner of the royal court, the third prince of the Southern Huns sat quietly in a separate tent.
For the brother of the third prince, the eldest prince Liu Bao still gave him enough preferential treatment. Living alone in a tent, he did not lack food and clothing. The bed and cushions were also used, and the gifts were all of the best quality.
Food and wine are enough. Maybe the eldest prince thinks that the drunken third prince is the best third prince.
Now inside the tent, there is a jar of Han family wine and two skins of mare's milk wine.
Needless to say, dried fruits, bacon and so on.
But no matter how good the treatment is, he is still a prisoner.
The food was kept cold in the tent, but the third prince didn't even think of touching it.
In the past few years, the third prince has been forbearing and restrained, just like a reckless and brainless warrior, but in fact, he had long expected the current situation...
If it is according to Yuvrault's wish, the throne must be passed to the third prince. Huvrault mentioned this to the third prince more than once, and the third prince himself also knows it. He is staying here now, not because he has nothing to do with it.
Instead of fighting back, he wanted to see who was on his side and who would eventually betray his father.
The betrayer is the enemy.
Even if this enemy may still have his own blood...
Sitting here, what the third prince thought about most was not his own life or death, but the attitude of the Han people after taking action.
Perhaps the third prince has not yet realized what the sorrow of a small country is, but he now has to take the attitude of the Han people towards the Southern Huns into consideration.
The Han people, this increasingly large group, wanted to devour the southern Xiongnu.
This is just like the Huns devouring other small tribes on the grassland.
The thing that Yuvro recalled most often with the third prince was that when the Hussar General was still weak, in the land east of the river, Yuvro had a chance to kill Fei Qian...
It seems to be just a little bit off.
Every time Humphrey spoke, he seemed to be sighing or roaring in a low voice.
At that time, it was the Southern Huns who had "strong soldiers and horses".
Well, this "strong soldiers and strong horses" is of course compared to Fei Qian at that time...
Yuvluo said that he was worried about the attitude of the Han court at that time, and then was deceived by Fei Qian. If he had really been ruthless at that time, the Han court would not have been able to control it at all!
Then came a series of early-knowing events.
But everyone knows that no one can know early. The only way to know early is to pretend to know by stepping on the head of the predecessor, just like the old Hufrault stepped on the young Hufrault.
There was a curse on his head, how could he be so stupid back then?!
In fact, it's just the winner and the loser, that's all.
A helpless smile appeared on the corner of the third prince's mouth, and then he shook his head gently.
Regret is always the most useless emotion.
You can only focus on the present.
In fact, when Yuvluo was still in good health, he did a little testing. Yes, he only dared to test the attitude of the Han people towards heirs. At that time, Qiaoqi said that this was a matter for the Southern Huns themselves...
Therefore, the attitude of the Han people may be equivalent to no attitude.
Yes, who would have any special attitude towards a piece of meat?
At most, I just consider whether to use it for barbecue or stew soup.
The moonlight shone down and reflected on the entrance of the tent, forming a gap.
In the silence, some laughter came in.
"Your Majesty...sooner or later...kill..."
The third prince frowned, then stood up reluctantly, walked to the other side of the tent where the sound came from, and then put his ear against the inner wall of the tent. The sounds outside suddenly became clearer.
"...The king has an order to kill the king as soon as he dies..."
"This, what does this mean?"
"What else can this mean?"
"No, these are real brothers. Really...is the king really going to take action?"
"What brothers? There is only one wolf king among the wolves in the desert! When did you see that the wolf king had brothers?"
"This...this is also..."
"But if the king really orders his death, what will we do?"
"What else can we do? Just obey the orders, and you still want to disobey them? That's the king's order!"
"..."
The third prince, who was standing on the edge of the tent eavesdropping, felt his head buzzing and blood rushing to his head!
After a while, there was no sound outside the tent, and the third prince staggered back to his original position and sat down, with his head lowered, wondering what he was thinking about...
The two people who were discussing outside the tent hid in the shadows, and then looked at each other, "How is it? Can he hear it?"
"I don't know..." Another person said, "Maybe I heard it, or maybe I was asleep and didn't hear it..."
"What should we do? How about we say it again tomorrow during the day?" another person said.
The person in front wanted to slap the other person on the head, "You idiot, how can you say this every day? There are many people during the day, and if someone sees you and bumps into you, wouldn't it be more troublesome? And if you say it a few more times, don't you?"
Are you suspicious?』
"Uh...I, I wouldn't doubt..." another person said.
"..." The first man was speechless. After a moment, he had an idea, "Let's go to another place..."
"Where to go?" said another.
"Stop talking nonsense, just follow me!"
The two of them took advantage of the cover of the shadows and walked in a certain direction.
The moonlight is dim.
Everything is quiet.
Suddenly, outside the tent where the third prince was under house arrest, the guarding soldiers shouted and asked something, and then there were several short screams...
The third prince was startled, and immediately became convinced, and then became confused again.
Footsteps sounded outside, and then the tent opened.
A tall figure, holding a blood-stained sword, walked in and bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty..."
The third prince heard a familiar voice, but he could not clearly see the man's expression in the darkness, "I, I am not the king yet."
"No. You are the king now, our Shiwei people, the only king at the moment." The tall figure prostrated there, his voice resolute. There was a strong smell of blood on his body, and there seemed to be a kind of madness in him to risk everything.
"Your Majesty, we are Shiwei people! Shiwei people!" The man said, "Those people have betrayed us... Many of us in Shiwei have forgotten their hometown and think that Han is their home! They
, they are betrayers!』
The third prince clenched his fists.
The Great Khan of the Huns, Chanyu, not only built a huge empire with only a few hundred soldiers, but now his people, who have ten times or twenty times the number of men and horses at that time, only know how to obey, and even
They even lost their own customs and language and followed the Han people to pick up scraps!
The eldest prince who wears Hanfu and holds a fan in his hand every day. When he opens his mouth, he talks about it, and when he closes his mouth, he talks about the Han family. Does he still remember who his ancestors are? Has he touched the sword a few times?
If the eldest prince continues to lead the Southern Xiongnu, perhaps there will be no Southern Xiongnu anymore...
"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer..." The tall figure took a step forward and approached the third prince, "Issuing the order, we all listen to you. I have heard that the eldest prince wants to kill you..."
"Badu," the third prince raised his head, "but he is my brother."
"Yes, but if he wants to kill you, he is the enemy, our enemy, the enemy of the entire Southern Huns. They! They are traitors!" Badu replied, with a strong smell of blood in his voice.
The Third Young Master's eyes flashed and he stood up, "If we take action, many people will die and innocent people will be affected."
"If we don't take action, we will still die! If we don't take action, there will be no Shanyu from now on, only the dogs of the Han people!"
"We don't have many people!"
"We don't need many manpower, we rush directly to the royal tent! They are unprepared, and we can succeed!"
The two of them answered questions very quickly.
The Third Young Master took a long breath, and then said, "The last question. The Han people..."
Badu said in a deep voice: "As long as we are quick enough and the situation is settled, what can the Han people do? If we pretend to be subdued, we will probably be able to get through... If not, I will lead some people to cover the Third Young Master and disturb him."
