Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 907 The Road to Coexistence
Chapter 907 The Road to Coexistence
For the first time, Qubei had a look of surprise on his face. He opened his eyes wide, and then tried his best to calm down, "How do you know that this is what Bei wants?"
"Why can't I just come here to advise you for the sake of my clan?"
Yuan Xi smiled: "If you risk being killed and come to me as King Youxian just to impress me by saying these few words, then this will be a disservice to yourself and the tribe. Be responsible.”
"Especially since you just said that the Han envoy killed King Loulan, it shows that you have already realized that you took such a big risk to see me. Naturally, your intentions are not limited to a few tribes."
"If I can't understand this, then I'm not worthy of living in the North."
Qubei finally looked serious, "Shijun is the most promising person I have ever met to become a hero."
"But because of this, I can't tell whether your envoy is a blessing or a curse to our department."
"But even if I may be killed, I still want to try my best to repair the relationship between the tribe and the envoy."
"In my opinion, the Southern Xiongnu cannot follow the current path, especially if they go against Shijun. Previous events have proven that those who are enemies of Shijun have failed."
"But I don't agree with it very much, so I came here this time without telling Shanyu and the other two kings."
"Isn't he very close to senior officials?"
"Is it worth giving up your position as King Youxian to seek cooperation with me? Or why would you place your bet on me after being tricked by the Baibo Army, who is also a Han?"
"The Han court's demands were met one by one without any principle, including capturing a large number of tribesmen as slaves and offering them to the Han court for trade."
Qubei hesitated for a moment and said, "The envoy is right. Huchuquan is closer to the Han Dynasty than the former Shanyu Yufuluo."
Yuan Xi said aloud: "The current Chan is calling Chuquan?"
Qubei sighed, "Because I don't agree with Yu Fuluo's approach, nor do I agree with Huchuquan's approach."
"Of course, he..." Qubei hesitated, "He not only sold it to high officials, but also to Zhong Yao of Sili."
"Other people say nice things, but they are just taking advantage of the Southern Huns."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi did not answer immediately, but began to think quietly.
"But the problem with Huchuquan is that compared to Fulo's attitude of taking advantage of the situation, his approach is too weak."
"I have earned my status by myself, and I will not give up. It seems that Jun is currently my enemy, but he is the only one who can help me achieve my goal."
"Of course, the Han court here refers to the Han Dynasty forces that have the ability to directly send troops to suppress Bingzhou. As for who the master of the power is, the Southern Xiongnu doesn't care and has no choice at all, just like when they were caught between the Huns and the Han court. It’s the same as Loulan in Qiuci.”
"What!" This was the first time Yuan Xi heard about this, but he soon figured out the cause and effect. Why did Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry tactics evolve so quickly? He fought with Yuan Xi's army several times, and there were many masters in it. It is obvious that people who ride and shoot cannot be trained in a year and a half.
Qubei is not an ordinary person. Even Yuan Xi doesn't know if he can control him.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that Huchuquan was trying to get the best of both worlds!
"I want to find a way to allow the Southern Xiongnu to survive. In my opinion, the Southern Xiongnu are unable to compete with the Han court. History has proven this, but allowing the Han court to fully accept the Southern Xiongnu is comparable to It’s harder to think of it as an enemy.”
"Over the years, I have been trying to find a way to coexist, and the same goes for serving the emperor. Although I failed, I also figured out a lot of things from it."
"Because your ambition is loftier than anyone else in the world, isn't it?"
Yuan Xi sat up straight and stared at Qubei, "You have told me such a secret thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back, right?"
"The former puts the Southern Xiongnu in the position of the enemy of the Han Dynasty, and the latter is an unconditional concession to the Han Dynasty. In my opinion, both push the Southern Xiongnu into the abyss of destruction."
"And when I talked with the envoy today, I found that I made the right bet. At least the envoy was willing to sit down and talk to me."
According to historical records, Qubei was not a pure Huns. His ancestor was Liu Jinbo, the general who conquered the Liao Dynasty. He was captured during the expedition against the Huns. The Chanyu made his son Xili the king of Guli and named him Dugu tribe.
In later generations, Qubei had a very famous descendant named Helian Bobo.
Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, Yuan Xi does not intend to let him go back to the desert. Who knows what he or his descendants will do in the future.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the floor, but in Qubei's ears, which was waiting with his head down, it was like thunder and a big drum.
Without him, Yuan Xi's reputation has grown increasingly strong over the years, not to mention the original number of battles. The Southern Xiongnu did not have an intuitive feeling about this, but Tian Yu, Yan Rou and others blocked Xianbei Wuhuan and built the capital with their heads. What happened really made the northern tribes feel worried.
Qubei's understanding of Yuan Xi was even deeper, because when he took his most elite subordinates to Hedong to rescue Liu Xie, he accompanied the Baibo bandits and fought against Li Jue and Guo Si.
Facing the Liangzhou cavalry under Li Jue and Guo Si, the Baibo thieves and Qubei took advantage of a sneak attack and barely managed to repel Li Jue and Guo Si. However, Li Guo soon made a comeback and defeated the Baibo thieves and Qubei. It was during those battles that Qubei understood how difficult the Liangzhou soldiers were and knew that even if he led his most elite men to confront them head-on, it would be hard to say whether he would win or lose.
Then Yuan Xi sent Zhao Yun and easily defeated Li Jue and Guo Si. After Qubei got the news, he immediately made a judgment that he must not easily break up with Yuan Xi and start a war!
This was also the reason why he lowered his profile and came here personally to find a way forward for the tribe. He was already prepared for unexpected events, but when they met, he was surprised to find that Yuan Xi was very different from Yuan Xi in terms of magnanimity and strategy. Above, they are all more powerful than I imagined.
This made Qubei both excited and scared. The excited Yuan Xi had great ambitions and it was really possible to achieve things that his predecessors could not do. What was scary was that if someone like Yuan Xi made up his mind to destroy the Southern Xiongnu, he would lose hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu. Even if the Huns resist with all their strength, including themselves, there may only be very few people who can survive!
Yuan Xi was also thinking hard at this time.
Qubei was a talented person but not very easy to control, but he undoubtedly saw some hope for himself, because in the past and even in later generations, the Han court's policy towards the Southern Huns had proven to have considerable hidden dangers.
If the Han Dynasty is weak and indulges the Southern Xiongnu too much, it will make them more ambitious and domineering, causing harm to the frontiers.
If the suppression is excessive and the Southern Xiongnu are allowed to sacrifice slaves, it will inevitably arouse their resistance. Over time, they will inevitably alienate the Han court and turn to the Waihu.
This was the case in later generations. Cao Wei carried out massacres in the border areas and traded slaves of the Southern Huns. This gradually caused the Southern Xiongnu to turn towards Xianbei. Finally, they turned around in the chaos of the Five Hus and went south to capture the Central Plains with other Hu tribes. Because of their cruelty and cruelty, they caused the most tragic period of history for the Han people.
Yuan Xi naturally wanted to take precautions before they happened, but could he kill all the Southern Huns on his own?
Obviously not. Even if the hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu are killed, what about the hundreds of thousands of Guannei Wuhuan?
Where are the millions of Xianbei people outside the Great Wall?
Everyone in the world is watching Yuan Xi's attitude towards the Southern Xiongnu. This is an extremely important beginning. If the most correct step can be taken, the future Wuhu Rebellion may be eliminated.
But on the other hand, if it is not handled well, the consequences in the future will be disastrous.
Politics is the art of compromise. No matter how powerful a force is, it will decline one day. The Qin Dynasty was so strong when it was established, and it fell very quickly. Yuan Xi did not feel that he could always adopt tough policies when facing internal and external troubles. War was never an option. The purpose, not the means, is to make everyone realize that coexistence is the only way, and this is the ultimate goal of fighting.
Of course, if it is a conflict of principles, war becomes the last and only solution.
But from Yuan Xi's point of view, there is actually no fundamental opposition between the Central Plains and the Waihu. After all, dating back thousands of years, the two have the same origin. The Waihu is also willing to admit this, and even considers himself to be a big man. Later generations, similar cultural heritage and civilizational traditions formed by ancestor worship laid the foundation for the two to seek coexistence.
This is different from the conflicts of civilizations with exclusive gods such as Angsa in later generations. The conflicts between civilizations are the most deadly and often end in the destruction of one civilization.
Fortunately for Yuan Xi, the establishment of the Han dynasty was off to a good start, giving him more choices.
He finally said: "I have already said what I will do in the future."
"There are no slaves, people are equal, there is no distinction between each other, and they share traditions."
"If you believe what I say, then stay with me and witness together whether you can see this scene in your lifetime."
Qubei's eyes flashed, "What's the price?"
Yuan Xi laughed, "You are very smart. Talking to smart people really saves effort."
"I know who your ancestor is."
"It's time for you to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."
Qubei's voice trembled, "Really?"
He is now in the Dugu tribe, and his full name is Dugu Qubei. If he changes his surname and returns to the clan, he will use the surname Liu, which is Liu Qubei.
He was surprised and happy. Although he had some regrets about this, he was mostly happy.
Yuan Xi's move was naturally to make Qubei give up his status as the Righteous King among the Southern Huns. Changing his surname meant completely turning to the Han people. Qubei also knew that this meant that the Southern Xiongnu tribes could no longer fully trust him, which was tantamount to cutting himself off. wing.
But on the other hand, everyone has the desire and desire to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, and it is natural for him to go to humble places. Moreover, he is different from other southern Huns. His ancestor Liu Jinbo is not an ordinary person. He is the grandson of Peixian King Liu Fu and Peili King Liu Ding. Son, great-grandson of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu!
If not, Liu Jinbo's son would not have been directly crowned king by the Xiongnu. At that time, the bloodline of the Emperor of Han was a rare commodity for the Xiongnu. How could other generals have such treatment?
In terms of bloodline, the Dugu family in later Sui Dynasties has a much purer bloodline than those in Jiangdong. If Qubei can really recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, his status in the clan with the surname Liu may not be as good as that of Liu Biao, Liu Ji and others, but it will be better than that of Liu Biao, Liu Ji and others. Liu Bei, I don't know where he went.
Tian Yu's eyes flashed at the side. The tradition of the Yuan family is to support the Liu clan to become emperor. At first, Yuan Wei supported Liu Bian to ascend the throne, Yuan Shao wanted to support Liu Yu, and now Yuan Xi has made a move to debase himself and wants to do the same. What?
Tian Yu then rejected his idea. Now that Yuan Xi already owns the four states, there seems to be no need to do such a thing, right?
He raised his head and took a sip of tea, and then an idea came to his mind.
Is it possible that in the future, in order to deal with the emperor held hostage by Cao Cao, Yuan Xi wants to obtain the Zen position?
Tian Yu was frightened by his own thoughts and almost choked on the tea in his mouth.
