Liu Yu murmured to himself: "The division between tribes and tribes? No longer exists? Do you mean that the Helan tribe was completely split up? All the tribesmen were assigned to other tribes to become slaves, and then
There is no complete Helan tribe anymore?"
He Lanmin's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, that's it. This is Tuoba Si's advantage. It is probably also the method of differentiation and disintegration he learned in the Central Plains. In the past, there were vendettas on the grasslands and wars between tribes.
, if you can't defeat them and are forced to surrender, there are usually two ways to deal with them, either to kill them all, or to kill all the men and leave only women and children, or to accept the rest.
Surrender, let them maintain the original tribal model, offer protons, pay tribute to cattle, sheep and war horses every year, and must send out troops to gather in case of war. In addition, there are some means of marriage, caravan trade sharing and other means, but in general, as a Khanate Chanyu
, he cannot arbitrarily eliminate and control the tribes that surrendered to him, nor can he stop the attacks and killings among the tribes on the grassland to compete for water sources and pastures."
Liu Yu nodded: "I know this. After all, I have lived on the grassland for a period of time and know their grassland laws. However, the general grassland tribes, unless they are the kind of people who have deep hatred and will not stop fighting, will always have to live a life of their own.
Leave a thin line, right?
The hostile tribes that surrendered were rarely the ones that killed them all. Even if they had a deep hatred like the Huns defeated the Yuezhi in the past, they only made the head of the Yuezhi King into a wine bowl to show their bravery.
, it would not be enough to kill the entire Dayue clan."
He Lanmin sneered and said: "But Tuoba Si, a crazy devil, was able to do it. He threw all the more than 5,000 people from the Xiongnu Tiefu tribe, who had always had a grudge against their Tuoba tribe, into the
They drowned in the roaring Yellow River, leaving no one alive. This is a unique atrocity in the history of the entire grassland."
Having said this, He Lanmin paused: "Liu Yu, the biggest wrong thing you have done in this life is to help this devil seize half of the world, help him dominate the grassland and become the overlord of the grassland. Likewise, this is what I have done in my life.
The biggest mistake was to help him succeed and help him establish the Northern Wei Empire. I knew that this man was cruel by nature, so I didn't
He was not only ruthless to the tribes on the grassland, but also extremely cruel to the Han people in the Central Plains. He went to slaughter them just because of a prophecy.
He invaded the entire Qinghe County and killed tens of thousands of innocent people. These are all the sins of you and me."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, becoming Agan with Tuoba Si and helping him unify the grassland was a big mistake in my life, and it can even be said to be one of the biggest mistakes. I will definitely make up for this with my own hands in the future.
Tuoba Si is dead, and his sins should be paid for by his descendants."
He Lanmin nodded and changed the topic: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. You just said that you will destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty and avenge the Han people in the north. I believe you, but let's continue the topic just now, that is
You may not know much about Tuoba Si’s method of dividing the grassland tribes.
But these are the personal pains of our tribes that he destroyed and suppressed. He learned what you people from the Central Plains did. After attacking cities and plundering lands and destroying enemy countries, he killed the original kings and nobles, leaving them leaderless.
, and then the remaining people will be moved to other prefectures and counties in other places for resettlement."
"The same is true for Tuoba Si. For our Helan tribe, after defeating my eldest brother, he assigned the remaining tribesmen to various tribes that participated in the attack on our Helan tribe. Some of them can be divided into several tribes.
Ten tents, some can be divided into hundreds of tents, and finally dozens of tribes who destroyed our Helan tribe have all benefited. In addition to the population of the tents, they also have corresponding cattle and sheep.
Horses, this undoubtedly strengthened the strength of these tribes, so they, having tasted the sweetness, would be very active when Tuoba Si gave orders to attack other tribes or plunder frontier counties in the Central Plains, without you having to actively supervise them.
, they will all bring their own troops and come to the meeting early, which is why Tuoba Si can quickly unify the grassland and conquer all directions without any disadvantage."
Liu Yu frowned: "That is to say, he destroyed those tribes that did not obey his orders and openly resisted him, then beheaded their kings, slaughtered their leader's family, and gave the other tribes to other tribes.
The tribes who brought blood to their hands also benefited from it, so it was only in their own interests to report the group to obey his orders. This method is not the kingly way of our Central Plains, but more like the kind of bandit copycat.
Letter of submission."
He Lanmin said coldly: "In short, on our grassland, this kind of practice has not been done before. Fighting for grassland and water sources is a survival instinct, not to mention hatred, because many times, we don't know how to fight with others.
No matter who you are fighting, you will not always think about revenge.
Even if we are defeated and run away, if we go to grab the pastures and water sources of other tribes, or come back to this place next year, anyway, there will be no enemy tribes left in the same place by then, so
, The weak eat the strong, and you are willing to accept defeat. This is the law of our grassland."
"But just like when we hunt wild beasts, we usually don't hurt the cubs, and we usually only take what we need. We grassland people know the way of heaven, know how to be reverent, and always have to leave some leeway in doing things, because everything is too exhaustive.
There will definitely be backlash in return. This is a cycle of heaven. Although it sounds a bit similar to the Buddhist one, I swear, this is what our prairie people’s ancestors have done for thousands of years.
The wisdom and consensus formed over thousands of years, so in your eyes, we are robbers and beasts, but after we attack and plunder, we often return to our homes instead of occupying the place. This is our grassland
The reason why people have been unable to defeat your Central Plains countries for thousands of years is because we only defeat, not occupy, unlike you, who will not leave once we occupy a place."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Because we don't have to chase water and grass for a living, but settle down and plant grains for food. We don't need to attack and invade others to survive. This is where I want to educate the grassland barbarians in the future.
We need to let them understand that they can survive without relying on fighting, and they will live better than on the grassland. Mrs. Helan, I believe you, your elder brother, and your tribe should understand this.
Alright."
He Lanmin curled up his lips and said: "It does sound good, but Liu Yu, you seem to have forgotten one thing. Your practice of living in enclosures and relying on farming for your livelihood in the Central Plains has killed the most important thing for us prairie people.
The most precious thing is to be free and unrestrained." (End of Chapter)
