Chapter 409 Above the Court

When Yan heard what Lu Bu said, his first reaction was that Lu Bu was crazy!

She couldn't help but said angrily: "Is your husband drunk?"

"Although that fierce tiger has a false name, he is just a descendant of the Yuan family. You want Ling'er to suffer with her?"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Isn't my reputation a false one?"

"I, the great general, am not the same?"

"Are the soldiers under my command comparable to Dong Zhuo back then, Li Jue and Guo Si, or the fierce tiger now?"

"I don't even have as much territory as him!"

Yan stammered: "But, but, Yuan Jiujiao has a vast territory and many soldiers, and his son..."

"What a waste!" Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Tens of thousands of people can't defeat even thousands of fierce tigers!"

"With how he is, will he still want to protect Ling'er in the future?"

"No matter how big the family fortune is, he can't keep it!"

Yan was speechless after being refuted by Lu Bu. She was surprised at how Lu Bu changed his temper. Could it be because he became a general?

Lu Bu was hardened, but Yan softened. She hesitated and said: "But Yuan Gongli can stand up to the emperor..."

Lu Bu heard this and sneered, "A woman's opinion!"

"The emperor has already made up his mind, so don't ask any more questions!"

After hearing this, Ms. Yan still felt unwilling to give in and said calmly: "Then it's not a good idea for Ling'er to stay with her husband for the time being? Why send her away in a hurry?"

"My husband is now a general, who dares to touch Ling'er?"

Lu Bu, however, looked solemn and sighed: "The last great general, but He Jin!"

"How can this position be so easy to get? Huaicheng seems to be safe now, but it is actually dangerous. What if I am betrayed like last time, so what if I am a general?"

"So I kept Ling'er away from the place of right and wrong to protect her."

Yan subconsciously wanted to say, let’s just leave as a family!

But then she thought about it, her husband was already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Wouldn't it be a pity to abandon these things?

So she swallowed back the words that came to her lips, but when she thought of the gold and silver goods that the fierce tiger had sent earlier, she felt angry. The fierce tiger had a good idea. In the end, she lost nothing and lost her own daughter?

This piece of shit!

Early the next morning, Liu Xie held a court meeting and settled Luan Jia in Huaicheng. There were many reasons for this decision.

One is that Lu Bu is one of Liu Xie's most trustworthy people at present.

Secondly, near Luoyang, Yuan Shu's army was watching, so it was not safe.

The third is that after the battle between Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Xie knew the importance of having his own power, so he relied on Huaicheng and Lu Bu's hand to conquer the small and medium-sized forces of all parties.

Therefore, he needs a relatively balanced and stable environment, and while making good friends with the princes, he can take the opportunity to strengthen himself.

After Yuan Xi was formally granted the title in front of Liu Xie in accordance with the Han system, he immediately received an order from Liu Xie to bring the Han imperial edict to see Yuan Shao and persuade him to accept the post of Taiwei.

Yuan Xi took the order and retreated, standing among the officials, but he noticed a few unkind glances coming towards him. He raised his eyes and found that they were coming from behind Cao Cao.

Cao Cao himself looked as normal as usual, but he didn't seem to have any trouble. Zhong Yao, Ding Chong and others beside him were kicking him in anger, as if Yuan Xi had killed their whole family.

However, Yuan Xi ignored them. Several civil servants were nothing. Anyway, they had already broken up with Cao Cao and other informant officials, and there was no hope of restoring the relationship. Do they still want to stare him to death?

What he was interested in at the moment was Cao Cao, whom he met for the first time. He was indeed not tall, about seven feet tall. According to later calculations, he was probably a little over one and a half meters tall.

His facial features are narrow, his eyes are long, and his beard is long, but his face is somewhat heroic. Is this a heroic spirit that he has cultivated through years of fighting?

But Yuan Xi didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that there was a hint of sinister look in Cao Cao's eyes when he looked at him, which made Yuan Xi wary.

Cao Cao was truly an outstanding figure in the world. Thinking that the other party might have been thinking about him, Yuan Xi felt quite stressed.

Liu Xie opened his mouth and asked his ministers to make suggestions on how to appease the Montenegrin army in the north.

Yuan Xi listened coldly, and after a while he understood that the voices of officials who supported Cao Cao accounted for the majority, and most people agreed to exclude officials from Cao Cao's line to recruit the Black Mountain Army.

This put pressure on Yuan Xi. After all, Liu Xie had just asked Yuan Xi to send an edict to Yuan Shao. If Cao Cao and his party recruited the Black Mountain Army, it would be impossible for Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao to reach an agreement.

In fact, the Han court did not want to see the Yuan family destroy the Montenegrin army. After all, in this way, the Han court would lose a large helping hand and even control of Bingzhou. The Southern Xiongnu who obeyed the Han court would also be blocked from going south.

.

In fact, in today's world, it is difficult to say who is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and who is a traitor.

Just like Lu Bu, everyone said that he was a domestic slave with three surnames, but he was an enemy of almost everyone who held the emperor hostage.

The same is true for the Southern Xiongnu, which involves the worldly background of the Shanyu Qiangqu's succession to the throne, as well as the grievances between the Northern and Southern Xiongnu and the Han court.

The Xiongnu had already declined in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Dou Xian Yanran was inscribed, the northern Xiongnu fled far away, while the southern Xiongnu completely became a vassal of the Han court.

Successive Shanyus of the Southern Xiongnu lived in Bingzhou, and were closely monitored by General Du Liao and Zhonglang General who protected the Xiongnu for a long time. They even had to send their sons as hostages. From Emperor Shun to Emperor Ling, the Han court had been interfering in the selection of Chanyus, which led to

Dissatisfaction within the Southern Xiongnu.

Qiangqu was the father of Yufuluo. He was hated by the Xiongnu powerful faction because of his pro-Han stance, which eventually led to his death in civil strife.

After that, there were several civil strife in the Southern Xiongnu royal court, and Yufuluo was completely excluded. He had no choice but to plunder Bingzhou, then defected to Yuan Shao's jujube coalition, then rebelled and defected to Dong Zhuo, and finally in Xingping

He died inexplicably two years ago.

In the same year, his son Liu Bao was killed by Yuan Xi on his way back to Bingzhou after plundering the people of Luoyang.

After Yu Fuluo's death, his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne. This man took the right step. When the emperor's chariot was attacked by Li Jue's army, he sent troops to rescue him and together with Bai Bo's army, he repelled Li Jue.

Although this Xiongnu army was later driven away due to the factional struggle between the Baibo Army and Dong Cheng, it was no different that they established a bridge of communication with the Han court again after many years apart.

Of course, Liu Xie would not miss this opportunity. He issued an edict to recognize the official identity of Huchuquan Chanyu. As a result, Huchuquan became an extremely useful chess piece in the hands of the emperor Liu Xie, and he could be called a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Xi knew about this twists and turns, and he had to admit that Liu Xie had some tricks.

But the direction of history in later generations slowly began to get out of control.

After Cao Cao sidelined Liu Xie, he took advantage of the Han court's control over the southern Xiongnu and took control of the southern Xiongnu tribe.

"Wei Shu Liang Xi Zhuan" Shan Yu (Hu Chuquan) was obedient, named Wang Jiying (referring to kowtow), and served in the Ministry of Qu, the same as the household registration. The borders were cleared, the people spread their fields, diligently encouraged farmers and mulberry trees, and implemented orders and prohibitions.

Household registration is the household registration of normal people, who can bear the burden of labor and corvee, but then it began to slowly deteriorate. The policies of the Wei and Jin Dynasties towards the Southern Xiongnu became more and more harsh. Hu Chuquan was obedient to the Han court. Many people in the Southern Xiongnu tribe,

Status is very low.

"The Biography of Chen Qun in the Book of Wei - Additional Biography" (Chen Tai) was the governor of Bingzhou, promoted the power of the generals, envoys and officials, protected the Xiongnu Zhonglang generals, and showed kindness to the barbarians, which was very powerful. The nobles in the capital often sent treasures, and because of Tai city

slave.

This refers to Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, who used the people of the Southern Xiongnu for slave trading, and the book of Wei also regarded this as a normal phenomenon.

When Liu Xuan, a noble of the Xiongnu in the Western Jin Dynasty, persuaded Liu Yuan to join Liu Yuan, he said, "The Jin Dynasty has no way, and the slaves will control me." It can be seen that this behavior of selling Xiongnu Dingkou was a consistent phenomenon in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the southern Xiongnu and laid the foundation for the future chaos of China.

Yuan Xi always felt that if the Xiongnu insisted on becoming enemies of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's approach was very correct.

But if there are those who seek refuge with the Han court, since they have been registered as household members, they should be treated equally. There is no need to give them special privileges, but there is no need to treat them harshly.

Only by treating them as equals can they be integrated into the big family of China. Otherwise, those who are treated unequally, whether they are Han or Hu, will definitely be dissatisfied, and eventually it will break out, leading to war.

If members of any ethnically integrated group have a lower status than other groups, this oppression will inevitably rebound over time.

Yuan Xi thought of a disintegrated northern country in later generations that was like this. It had hundreds of different ethnic groups, and when it was strong, no one dared to look directly at it.

However, it pursued a policy of suppressing the Juche ethnic group, which resulted in the minority groups being given preferential treatment as a matter of course, the Juche ethnic group being dissatisfied, and finally the entire alliance collapsed.

Yuan Xi thought of that sentence from later movies.

Fair, fair, fair.

Preferential treatment cannot bring back sincerity and will only attract profit-seeking people. Although bad treatment can temporarily suppress people, it will sooner or later arouse resistance.

Yuan Xi understood that the confrontation in the imperial court had already begun.

Liu Xie was in front, Cao Cao was behind, and it involved the Yuan family, the Black Mountain Army, and the Southern Huns, but the role he played was the trigger.

If Yuan Shao cannot be persuaded, it will cause a series of negative chain reactions.

Yuan Xi really wanted to kill the Montenegrin Army, but this was contrary to Liu Xie's intention. Could he just let it go?

Thinking of this, he stepped out and said, "I have something to say."

"The Black Mountain Army can certainly be used, but it has robbed people over the years and has gained a bad reputation throughout the world. If the chief culprits are not punished, I am afraid the world will not be convinced."

Immediately, a minister spoke up and said: "This is a great opportunity to recruit the Black Mountain Army. If it is stated that the chief culprit will be punished, how can Zhang Yan surrender?"

Yuan Xi followed: "Zhang Yan, regardless of this, the captain of Heishan is responsible for the supervision of Heishan. If he condones and ignores this chaos, he is really derelict in his responsibility. It is recommended that he be severely punished."

He avenged Qu Yi. Although Cao Cao was the initiator, Yang Feng should be the one who directly attacked him, so he must kill him and break one of Cao Cao's arms.

He originally thought that Cao Cao's side would jump out and object fiercely, but to Yuan Xi's surprise, Zhong Yao, Ding Chong, and even Cao Cao actually agreed with his opinion!

Yuan Xi suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake!

Cao Cao's side agreed so readily, does it mean that Yang Feng may not be in the same group as Cao Cao?

Moreover, the existence of Yang Feng will also hinder Cao Cao's actions, so the other party will follow the trend?

But could this be Cao Cao's deception?

Sensing the teasing look from Cao Cao, Yuan Xi suddenly felt that he might have overlooked some key things!

There is collusion between the Black Mountain Army and Cao Cao, this is certain.

Yang Chou belongs to the Black Mountain Army, which is correct.

It is certain that Yang Chou instigated the Huaicheng Rebellion and killed Qu Yi.

Yang Feng and Yang Chou have a close relationship, which I have seen with my own eyes.

From these four pieces of evidence, we should be able to deduce that Yang Feng is Cao Cao's man?

I don’t know which part of it, something must have gone wrong!

Yuan Xi couldn't understand, and felt a sense of frustration. He was still too young. To deal with someone like Cao Cao, he needed to gather all his counselors and brainstorm!

When he saw what happened in Montenegro, he fell into the opponent's trap at the last moment, so he could only swallow his breath for the time being.

The fists on the battlefield have the final say. The key to the Black Mountain Army lies with Yuan Shao. Yuan Xi will definitely not let go of the Black Mountain Passage easily.

The ministers' discussion on the Black Mountain incident came to an end for the time being, and the topic returned to how to deal with Yuan Shu.

At this time, Ding rushed out and said: "I heard that An Guotinghou captured Yuan's general Qiao Rui. Why not put him to death on the spot to warn Yuan Shu?"

Yuan Xi's face darkened after hearing this. He had promised to put Qiao Rui back to befriend Sun Ce. Who got the news and wanted to undermine him?

His eyes flashed with murderous intent and he glared at Ding Chong.
