Luziyuan is a garden in the west of Xiaoyao Garden.
Many years ago, a chief of the Hu people in Longxi offered deer and ordered them to be raised in the garden, hence the name.
It was later abandoned, and even the walls collapsed and damaged, turning the beautiful garden into a forest.
After Liu Can occupied Kansai, he renovated the park and raised hundreds of elk.
There are three hundred steps between Luzi Garden and Xiaoyao Garden, leading directly to Pingshuo Gate. At this time, this small open space is busy with people coming and going.
One by one, the tribal chiefs came to the garden gate, announced their registration, took off their weapons, and then entered with two or three followers.
In the center of Luziyuan is a swamp, which was originally a place for the elk to drink water, but now it has become a place where the elk die.
One after another, the elk were pulled here, disemboweled, cleaned, and then cut into pieces of moderately sized meat, which were boiled, steamed, or grilled to serve as food for the guests at the banquet.
The wine was also brought in, one cart after another.
Hundreds of jars of Bianliangchun, Jiuyingchun and other fine wines were brought in. After being opened, the aroma of the wine was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
In front of a quiet little courtyard, the dead branches and leaves have been cleared away.
Small tables were set up, plus a futon. At this time, people were already sitting down, looking around, silently watching who was coming.
The seating arrangement is very particular. The first person on the lower left is Yao Yizhong, with Pu Hong below him, and below him are Peng Tianhu, Xu Quanqu, Shan Zhi, Liang Xun, Yang Tao, Lu Zhuqian and more than ten people.
The first person on the lower right is the seat of Jin Zhun, the general who protected the Huns, but it is empty. Behind him are Yi Lougui and Qiu Dunju of Tuoba Xianbei, followed by Qi Guanyuan, Jin Ming, and Hu Xun (Guanglu doctor)
, Xin Shu (beginning)
Xing Taishou), Wang Kuang (Shang Shulang), You Ziyuan (Feng Yi Taishou), Dong Jingdao (Sanqi Changshi), Liang Xu (Taichang Qing), Jiang Ying (Chengmen Xiaowei), Bian Guangming (Taishi Ling)
) and nearly twenty people.
Behind the first row on the left and right, there are three more rows on each side. In total, more than a hundred people from Liu Han's demoted positions and chiefs from various tribes came, which can be said to be "all the talents have arrived".
Of course, there are also those who didn’t come.
When Shao Xun entered the scene, he was still discussing the matter with Jin Zhun.
"In addition to claiming to be the 'King of the Northern Qiang', Penju first lived in Shangjun and was defeated by Liu Yang. After surrendering to Shun, he moved to Diaoyin and other places, with six thousand families." Jin Zhun explained; "There are also four corners of the Northern Qiang there.
King Bo Juda, originally lived in the north of Shangjun, and later surrendered to Shi Le. In fact, the imperial court had always been wary of Shi Le, and moved more than 5,000 members of the Ju clan to Weibei."
"Pen Juzhu didn't come. He neither listened to the order of Xu Quanqu, nor obeyed the Shan family. He led the army southward alone, and I didn't pay him a visit." Shao Xun put his hands behind his back and said, "I heard that Bo Juda said this
He came here without firing a single shot. He suddenly escaped the night before yesterday, but he didn’t know why.”
"This man once caused rebellion and surrendered before the others were brought to peace. This time he sent troops to meet and escaped halfway. The servants thought he was afraid and worried that the king would capture him at the banquet." Jin Zhun said: "
In the past, when Liu Can summoned him to Chang'an, he repeatedly declined and only offered money."
"Guanzhong is full of people like this. It wasn't easy for you before, right?" Shao Xun stopped and asked with a smile.
"But if you can't kill, you can only turn a blind eye." Jin Zhun said: "Occasionally, if you ask him to send troops and donate property, he won't be too pushy. If the king is still ten or eight years later, When we enter Guanzhong in the new year, each of these people will be cleaned up, and then it may not be as simple as it is now."
"Why do you say that?" Shao Xun asked.
"A few years after Liu Can entered Chang'an, there were many female officials in the harem. He slaughtered various clans and even tribes to marry into the gentry and Hu chieftains, and appointed their children as officials." Jin Zhun said: "It has only been a few years now, and people's hearts have not yet changed." Complete surrender, but if we wait another ten years, it will be different. Even if the king breaks into Guanzhong from Shangjun, the nobles will most likely become soldiers and servants to fight for Liu Can instead of defecting on the battlefield. "
"If your Majesty searches carefully, you will find that there must be Hun noble girls in the homes of the big families in Guanzhong, and there are also female sergeants in the Hun noble families. Before your Majesty's Northern Expedition to Dai, your servants received orders to pick up Jiang from Qinzhou, and more than 2,000 households from the Yang and other rich families. In Chang'an, all the Di and Qiang chiefs sent their sons as pledges."
"Did you pick up?" Shao Xun asked.
"I didn't have time, the king came too fast." Jin Zhun said.
"Do you think this is a good thing?" Shao Xun asked again.
"It has both advantages and disadvantages." Jin Zhun thought for a while and said: "It was precisely because of the fear of being relocated that rebellions occurred everywhere in Guanzhong, and there was almost no peace for a year. When the king's division arrived, everyone turned against them, obviously full of hatred for the Tuge clan. But if we can force migration and find ways to control it, we can ensure peace on the border."
Shao Xun pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think would happen if I were so rude to the Henan nobles?"
Jin Zhun was a little surprised, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he said: "Your Majesty, you must learn Liu Can's lesson. Don't do this before Jiangdong is destroyed."
Shao Xun nodded slowly.
This is very reliable advice given by "frontline workers".
At first, Liu Can personally conquered Qinzhou in the west, but later he got a little lazy and sent his generals to go out. Jin Zhun was the one who led the troops most often.
He has handled at least two major "immigration projects".
The first time was to escort more than 14,000 Hu and Han households from Nan'an to Chang'an in Longxi.
The second time was to escort Wudu and pacify thousands of households of Hu people from two counties to Chang'an.
Yang Nandi and even the current Qinzhou governor and Jiuquan King Shiwu were defeated by him. Lao Jin was too familiar with Qinzhou.
He said that the forcible relocation of people from various tribes in the newly conquered areas caused the chaos in Guanzhong. This is not a lie.
The biggest consequence is that the country will be filled with people who hate you, and your rule will be frivolous, relying solely on force to intimidate you, rather than the support of people's hearts.
There will be rebellion when there are no foreign enemies. If foreign enemies invade Guanzhong, then the whole world will truly be in rebellion.
But the dilemma Liu Can faced was now Shao Xun's turn to face.
After thinking about it, he actually had the urge to do the same thing as Liu Can. It can be seen that some things were not wrong, but he just didn't do it at the right time. Of course, Liu Can had no good solution. Since he expanded to Qinzhou, he could only Bite the bullet and go on.
After figuring this out, Shao Xun came to the venue.
"Meet the King of Liang." After being demoted, the chiefs stood up one after another and knelt down beside the case.
"We are all loyal and brave men, so there is no need to be polite." Shao Xun supported him with both hands and said, "Let's all get up. On the day when merit is rewarded, there is no need to be restrained."
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
The soldiers filed in and served food to everyone.
The vegetables were a bit hard, and they were all large pieces of meat. Except for a few wild vegetables and mushrooms, there were really no other vegetables.
Huang Zheng, the personal military governor, bent down and whispered in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Shao Xun smiled and said, "Then let's get started."
After saying that, he glanced at Yao Yizhong.
Lao Qiang had already sat down and bowed again when he saw this.
Shao Xun laughed and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.
After a while, two people came into the field, both of them topless, wearing the kind of trousers that are common among Qiang Hu people with very fat legs and fast tightening at the cuffs. They were eager to try it out.
The event they compete with is "Horn Fighting". As the name suggests, they wear animal horns to test each other's strength.
At this point in development, things have changed.
It is not necessary to wear animal horns, and there are many more wrestling movements, which are not all a test of strength, so it is called "wrestling".
Sun Hao of the Eastern Wu Dynasty was even more outrageous. He liked to watch women wrestling and "made the palace people obsessed with sumo wrestling."
From this, the name "sumo" became popular.
By the Jin Dynasty, jiaodai, wrestling, and sumo were all official names with the same meaning.
The two contestants are Xu Chu Yiyu, son of Xu Chu Quanqu, and Yao Lan, nephew of Yao Yizhong.
There was another referee, selected from the army. After explaining to the two of them, he slowly stepped aside.
The venue fell silent for a moment, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Especially Xu Quanqu, who looked at his son with burning eyes. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he might have stood up and cheered.
Yao Yizhong just glanced at it casually.
His nephew had been fighting with him for several years, and his life was devoted to three things: drinking, being a wife, and wrestling.
When I was in the army, I felt very uncomfortable after not wrestling for three days. I often invited strong and brave men to compete in wrestling. Most of the time, I could win, and I was not upset if I lost. On the contrary, I would reward the winner with beauty and wealth. So many people are willing to play with him. What if he wins?
His calmness is not unreasonable.
Yao Lan put his hands on Xu Chu Yiyu's shoulders like lightning, shouted loudly, and pulled the other person around to spin him.
Xu Chu Yiyu stumbled and tried to maintain his figure, but failed in the end and was thrown directly to the ground.
Yao Lan sneered and pressed forward directly, wrapping his iron arms around Xu Chu Yiyu's neck, as if he could strangle his neck with just a little more force.
Fortunately, he stopped at the click and quickly let go.
Xu Chu Yiyu staggered to his feet and glanced at Yao Lan in shock.
Xu Chuquanqu even opened his mouth wide. How come he was defeated as soon as he met him?
"How strong!" Shao Xun put down his wine glass and praised: "With such magical power, he is truly a strong man!"
After saying that, he smiled again and said: "I heard that General Yao once led dozens of cavalry to attack the Huns, beheaded one of their generals, and captured several flags and drums. Is this true?"
"The thief general Liu Gong, relying on his bravery, spoke dirty words to the king. The servant was so angry that he rode up on his horse and captured and killed him." Yao Lan bowed and saluted.
"With such a strong man, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?" Shao Xun said with emotion.
After saying that, he motioned to Huang Zheng with his eyes.
Huang Zheng also winked behind him.
Soon, a woman, surrounded by two palace attendants, came to the venue.
Jin Zhun took one look and lowered his head, obviously recognizing him.
"This is Liu Can's concubine Du Shi, and I'm going to reward you." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.
Yao Lan was overjoyed and thanked her immediately for such a good thing.
"Are you willing to serve in Guandong?" Shao Xun asked again.
"Yes!" Yao Lan didn't waste any words and agreed on the spot.
"Good!" Shao Xun said happily.
After saying that, he looked at Xu Chu Yiyu and said, "Will you follow me back to Guandong to take up a post?"
"I wish!" Xu Chu Yiyu didn't expect that he would still get an official position after losing. He was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, causing a burst of laughter in the audience.
Xu Chuquan's old face turned red. He secretly scolded his son for being spineless and too flattering, but he was also happy for him in his heart.
These old guys haven't even gotten official positions yet, and their nephews and nephews have taken up their posts one by one.
Yao Lan glanced at Xu Chu Yiyu and secretly said that the prize in wrestling turned out to be a beauty, and the official position should have been decided long ago.
Huang Zheng, the pro-military governor, quickly ordered them to retreat.
Du stood there, weeping silently. Yao Lan directly took her hand and was about to leave.
"General Yao, they are yours too." Huang Zheng pointed at the two palace ladies and said.
Yao Lan was stunned and didn't bother to look further. He directly called for them to follow, and then handed the three of them to the general who came with him.
The relative agreed and took the three girls out of the venue.
General Yao said that he couldn't wait any longer and would sleep with Concubine Du tonight, so he quickly found a military tent to settle down.
The field soon ushered in the second competition.
Sheyan Danliang competed with Peng Pi, the son of Lu Shui and Hu Pengtianhu, in a trial of armored foot archery.
As a result, Shan Liang hit eight out of ten arrows, Peng Pi hit seven, and Shan Liang won.
Shao Xun rewarded two female musicians, but there was no concubine because Shan Liang had not made any great achievements.
However, Shan Liang was still happy and thanked him repeatedly.
Naturally, these two men also had to bring some of their family soldiers with them back to Guandong with Shao Xun.
Then comes...
After several consecutive games, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Especially the children of the chiefs and tycoons who followed their elders, their faces were even more rosy.
Many people competed on stage and were rewarded with money, female musicians, and dancers. Those who had made great achievements could even be awarded the title of Liu Hanzong's daughter or Liu Can's concubine.
Shao Xun was also a little tipsy, so he clapped his hands, and soon a group of Han Palace beauties came in to perform a dance.
Shao Xun and Zhang Bin were talking casually, but they didn't notice a woman sitting next to him, gently pouring wine for him.
Jin Zhun's face was not very pretty, and he looked at her with a helpless expression.
Jin Yuehua returned a reassuring look and quietly looked at the beauties dancing in the field.
They were all trained by her and will be divided up soon.
This is the sorrow of a daughter of a subjugated country.
Shao Xun quickly noticed Jin Yuehua's presence.
He was surprised and glanced at Jin Zhun subconsciously.
Chapter completed!
