Chapter 60 Xianbei (4)
Unexpectedly, when this said, it seemed like adding fuel to the fire.
"What Xianbei distinguished guests?" Liu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's all murderers! This morning, these Xianbei people were drinking and causing trouble in the restaurant in the south of the city, and my soldiers went to stop it. Unexpectedly, they didn't agree with each other and actually killed people!"
"The soldiers were caught off guard and were killed and injured several times. My capable team leader Zou Zhe was also killed by them!" Liu Yan said sadly: "Zou Zhe's father saved my life on the battlefield! He saved twice! He never asked me for an official position, nor did he ask me for money, but he only entrusted his young son to me before his death! I treat him like a brother on weekdays, but today I end up like this!"
Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a moment, and the handsome appearance of the young team leader suddenly appeared in front of him. Although this young man may not be a warrior who killed generals and flags on the battlefield, he has been really diligent since he was responsible for the arrest of thieves and public security in the south of Jinyang City, and has won the hearts of the people. Who would have thought that he would die at the hands of the Xianbei people like this.
"It's a pity that I received the newspaper too late and didn't have time to dispatch people, so I actually let them enter the governor's mansion as a guest!" Liu Yan clenched his fists and said, "Do Ming, come and be a witness. I will never give up on this matter with them!
Lu Yao was about to persuade him, but Liu Yan had already stepped forward and rushed into the governor's mansion. Lu Yao was worried that Liu Yan would do something extraordinary when he was angry, so he hurriedly waved to several civil servants and signaled to inform Mr. Yue Shi quickly; then he followed Liu Yan closely, chatting around from time to time, and trying to slow down his pace.
The lobby of the governor's mansion is very lively at the moment. It turned out that the Yue Shigong was holding a banquet to entertain guests.
A bonfire was set off in the open space in front of the hall, and several burly men with naked upper bodies were grilling on the flames with iron chisels. From time to time, they used a machete to cut off the golden and greasy parts of the roast and presented them to everyone in the hall.
Yue Shigong stood high on the master's seat and raised his glasses to persuade him to drink. On his left were several officials led by Wen Qiao; and on the right were several Xianbei nobles with braided hair, all of them drank and laughed loudly, and it seemed that they were having fun eating and drinking.
In the side hall on both sides of the lobby, there was even more noisy. Dozens of Xianbei warriors with red faces and fishy smell were eating and drinking. Some people thought the chef was slow and directly took half-baked lambs to bite them; some people were so excited that they simply danced.
"Uncle! My nephew has something to report!"
When Liu Yan broke into the lobby, Liu Kun had obviously received a notice. His expression was not very pleasant. If an ordinary general had acted like this, he would have been shot out. But Liu Yan said that he was the uncle and nephew. For the sake of his uncle and nephew, he could not take him seriously.
"So it's Shiren, what's going on?" Liu Kun asked casually while playing with the wine glass in his hand.
After all, Liu Yan was a general who was a literati. At this time, he was a little calmer. He bowed and said, "I have reported to you that since the last general took up the position of patrolling the city, I dare not slacken at all. Just now, there were bandits in the city and many soldiers were killed and injured. Although the army and horses had been mobilized to capture them all, the bandits actually got involved in the governor's mansion. The last general dared not be good at it, so I specially asked the lord to be the master!"
Liu Kun said slowly: "Why do you need to ask me such a small matter? Where is the bandit now? I will ask you to submit it to you."
"Thank you lord!" Liu Yan bowed deeply and said, "Just just now, thirty Xianbei warriors were committing crimes in alcohol, and asked the lord to ask them to surrender quickly!"
There was a silence in the hall. Liu Kun slammed the wine glass heavily on the table. Liu Yan's shoulder twitched with the sound of the wine glass falling, but he still lay on the ground and did not get up.
"Shiren, get up and talk." Liu Kun waved his hand. Liu Yan was still standing there. Lu Yao was standing at the door of the hall, but then hurried a few steps and asked Liu Yan to stand aside.
"Chief Dugu, Japan wants to have a great banquet with you today, but unexpectedly this accident happened." Liu Kun frowned and said to the row of Xianbei nobles: "Although my subordinate is mediocre, he never lies. Is what he said just now? I hope you all will give me an answer."
There were six nobles of the Xiongnu sitting in the main hall. The one sitting in the chief was Dugu Zhe, the powerful chief of Tuoba Xianbei. Dugu Zhe was full of beard and had a rough appearance. He was just laughing as if no one was around the banquet, looking at himself. He was sweating profusely, tore open his front collar, revealing his furry chest, and fanning the wind with his leather robe sleeve. When Liu Kun asked a question, he swallowed the large piece of fat in his mouth and laughed twice: "Governor Liu, the man running on the grassland is heroic by nature, and he could not stand the restraint of you Han people. If the two sides had a dispute, the brothers would kill a few of them with heavy hands. This is not a big deal."
Liu Yan was furious and threw Lu Yao away and rushed to Dugu Zhe and said, "It's nothing? Are you waiting for the barbarians, do you think that my dignified Heavenly Dynasty has no king's law?"
Dugu Zhe stared at Liu Yan with a normal expression and said word by word: "We Hu people do not understand the laws of the Han people. They only know the rules on the grassland: those with strong strength win, and those with weak strength die. If you are weak and incompetent, you will not be able to blame others if you are beaten to death."
Liu Yan was so angry that he trembled all over and turned to Liu Kun and said, "How to deal with this matter? Please make a decision!"
Dugu Zhe sneered, drinking and eating meat on his own, and no longer cared about Liu Yan. Suddenly, there was a silence in the lobby, and everyone was waiting for the reaction of Yue Shigong.
Liu Kun suddenly stood up after the desk and sang: "Yang Qiao!"
A person stood up in the queue of civil servants on the other side. It was Yang Qiao who scolded Lu Yao and others yesterday and raised his mind for the Xianbei. He bowed deeply and said, "The emperor is here!"
"Is the romance that General Liu Yan said just now true?" Liu Kun asked.
Yang Qiao was assigned by Liu Kun to receive the visiting Xianbei chiefs throughout the whole process, and actually bear the responsibility of surveillance. However, he was too cautious and the Xianbei people were arrogant and illegal along the way, so it was not just this matter; but he covered it up and did not report it. At this time, Liu Kun suddenly asked, and Yang Qiao was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Liu Kun's face darkened and he said, "No need to say, you can step back!"
Yang Qiao's face was bleak and he retreated repeatedly. He accidentally hit the steps and almost fell to the sky and fell to the ground.
Liu Kun paced back and forth in the lobby for a few steps and said slowly: "Chief Dugu, the new position of Bingzhou Governor, you will come to visit us without hesitation, and you will be very enthusiastic. The Tuoba Xianbei tribe's intentions for the court are also clear. If the Tuoba Xianbei can serve the court and help eliminate the Huns, the court will not be stingy with titles and rewards. Perhaps it is unknown."
Dugu Zhe clapped his palms and was about to speak; he was stopped by Liu Kun's firm gesture.
"However, please remember Chief Dugu," Liu Kun ignored Dugu's expression and continued: "The Han people have the rules of Han people, and the Hu people have the rules of Hu people. Wherever they go, they must follow the rules of the Hu people. Can the Hu people still follow the rules on the grassland when they arrive in the Han area? If the Hu people wiped out the Hu people, but in return, the Xianbei tribes will still do evil on the land of our Great Jin Dynasty. If this matter is not taken by the wise, I will never do it!"
Liu Kun walked with his hands behind his back and said jokingly. When he said the last sentence, he was already standing in front of Dugu Zhe, looking down at him: "Chief Dugu, do you understand what I mean?"
Dugu Zhe is a powerful man who is rampant on the grassland. I don’t know how many battles he has experienced before he has fought to the high position of the western Thunderbolt Xianbei people. In recent years, he has only seen officials incompetent and incompetent, and his army is as cowardly as a chicken, so he is becoming more and more arrogant and domineering. Although he heard that the new Bingzhou governor was a hero with great military achievements among the Han people, he did not take it seriously. But at this moment, under Liu Kun’s gaze, he only felt that Liu Kun’s eyes were bright, as if they were filled with a great sense of oppression, and he couldn’t help but feel his throat was dry and a little nervous.
He swallowed his saliva and coughed a few more times. As Liu Kun stared at him, oily sweat burst out from his forehead.
Liu Kun looked at Dugu Zhe for a while, and saw that the Xianbei chief was already quite embarrassed, so he laughed and turned around and headed to the main seat. All the Han officials in the lobby breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the next step of Yue Shigong would inevitably issue an order to capture the Xianbei warrior who was making trouble and killing people.
Suddenly, Dugu Zhe's words sounded again behind him: "Governor Liu, your words may not be unreasonable, but there is something unclear about things!"
"Hmm?" Liu Kun snorted coldly and turned around like a whirlwind.
Dugu Zhe straightened his body and said ruthlessly: "Governor Liu, you just said that when the Hu people arrived at the land of the Han people, they could not follow the rules on the grassland. But Governor Liu, you might as well look around. How many prefectures and counties are there north of the river and west of Tongguan? "
As soon as these words came out, all the Han people in the hall changed color.
In recent years, the imperial court ruled in a wrong way, which caused chaos and thieves all over the world. Most of the Huns, Qiangs, Di, and Jie tribes rebelled and captured countless prefectures and counties. After careful consideration, many of these great rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of the Hu people!
"Even if it's just Bingzhou..." Dugu Zhe ignored everyone's anger and sneered, "Hehe, the ownership of Bingzhou is not as optimistic as you said by Governor Liu. If it weren't for the help of me, Tuoba Xianbei, Governor Liu, would you really think that relying solely on this small Jinyang City, could you resist the 100,000 Huns?"
"Bold!" Liu Yan was furious and stepped on the table in front of Dugu Zhe, shouting and scolding.
