Chapter 630 It is no longer necessary to keep the Southern Huns
Yu Fuluo licked his dry lips.
Liu Bei's words made him instinctively feel something was wrong. He realized something. If possible, he wanted to tell Liu Bei to shut up and stop talking.
But he had no choice, he couldn't shut up Liu Bei, so he had no choice but to continue the topic.
"General, please speak frankly."
"Okay, let's just say, Great Chanyu, let's let the Southern Huns settle here permanently."
Liu Bei said sternly: "Bei plans to choose a suitable place in Bingzhou or Hedong County, place it under the Southern Xiongnu's command, settle here, no longer move, and live here forever. What does the Great Chanyu think of it?"
"Settle permanently?"
Yu Fuluo looked at Liu Bei in surprise.
This...isn't this the dream of the Southern Huns?
Isn't this the dream of the Southern Xiongnu to be able to settle down in a warm place with fertile soil, thrive, engage in farming, and go to the surrounding areas to enjoy the autumn breeze when they are short of food and clothing in winter?
Liu Bei is...
Want to be a great philanthropist?
So not to mention Yu Fuluo, even Zhang Yan on the side looked at Liu Bei in surprise when he heard this.
Does Liu Bei know what he is talking about?
Of course, he knows.
"Yes, permanent settlement, but it is not the same as before. I hope that all the current tribes of the Southern Xiongnu can be incorporated into the household registration of Bingzhou or Hedong County, including you, the Great Chan.
"
Liu Bei looked at Yu Fuluo with a gentle face: "In this way, from now on, there will be no distinction between the Han and the Southern Huns. We are all one family, settled together, and a family that loves each other. Shan Yu thinks
How is it?"
Yu Fuluo was stunned.
Zhang Yan, who was listening in, was also stunned.
Is this... a permanent settlement?
Not annexation?
Is this to completely eliminate the existence of the Southern Huns?
Zhang Yan looked at Liu Bei, then immediately looked away, looking at his nose and heart, sitting upright and motionless as if he had not heard these words.
Yu Fuluo, on the other hand, has been in a state of shock since Liu Bei finished speaking.
To be honest, although Yu Fuluo had some assumptions about his own destiny before this, in general, he did not go beyond the resettlement plan of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu for the Xiongnu troops, and continued to live in a place that was more convenient for the surveillance of the Han court.
and places of use, but the treatment still exists and the ethnic group can still be guaranteed.
But Liu Bei's plan completely exceeded his imagination.
Is this to completely eliminate the existence of the Southern Huns?
As an ethnic group, will the Southern Xiongnu be completely annexed by the Han Empire?
Yu Fuluo was unable to respond to Liu Bei's inquiry for a long time, which made Liu Bei feel very strange.
"Great Chanyu, wasn't the reason why the Southern Xiongnu rebelled before was because they were frequently called to fight, so they rebelled? Since they don't want to be called to fight frequently, they can simply be incorporated into the Han household registration and implement county management.
In this way, naturally they will not be frequently called up to fight, and they can cultivate the fields with peace of mind. They only need to serve like other counties in the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about the whole clan being dispatched.
If you cannot implement county management and still want to live in the territory of the Han Dynasty, then you must accept the initial task. The Han Dynasty will not give up the land for you to live for no reason. There is a price to pay. A peaceful life is never free.
You can have it for no reason.”
Liu Bei let go of Yu Fuluo's hand, stood up, and looked down at Yu Fuluo.
"Dachanyu, food, houses, land, and a comfortable life are never born for everyone. It is impossible to have these without paying some hard work or other costs. Isn't this a matter of course?
?
The Southern Xiongnu did not want to contribute to the conquest of the Han, but they also wanted fertile soil and a warm climate. Where can there be so many good things in the world? The Han did not owe the Southern Xiongnu, nor did they ask for anything from the Southern Xiongnu. If the Southern Xiongnu still adhere to the original
If you have an idea, then..."
Liu Bei leaned down and said with a smile: "This general may ask Shanyu to take your people to leave the territory of the Han Dynasty and return to the Xiongnu's homeland of Dragon City."
Return to hometown?
The homeland of the Xiongnu is no longer owned by the Huns. Who knows what the state of the homeland of Longcheng is now. It is probably occupied by either the Xianbei people or some other unknown people.
At that time, the Xiongnu split between the north and the south. The Xiongnu tribes who did not enter the Han territory were wiped out by Dou Xian's troops. Then they fled westward and disappeared long ago. The grassland was then controlled by the Xianbei people. Today, except for the Huns living in the Han territory, almost all the Xiongnu people on the grassland
There are no more Huns.
Isn't it tantamount to murder to allow these Southern Xiongnu tribesmen who are accustomed to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural life, and even have greater agricultural attributes, to leave the Han territory and return to the grasslands?
Going back?
Can not go back!
Yu Fuluo trembled all over and looked at Liu Bei with disbelief: "General, our tribe has lived in Han Dynasty a hundred years ago and has long forgotten how our ancestors lived. If we leave Han Dynasty and return to our ancestral land, we will commit suicide.
What's the difference?"
"That's still the original choice."
Liu Bei straightened up and returned to his seat. Shi Shiran sat down and wrote lightly: "Now that the Han Dynasty has strong military force, it no longer needs the military support of the Southern Xiongnu tribe. The Han army can already complete all military tasks.
So what the Han Dynasty needs most right now is a group of registered residents who can grow food and provide taxes for the Han Dynasty. If the Southern Xiongnu is unwilling, then they can only leave the Han Dynasty. If they cannot leave, then..."
Liu Bei leaned forward and stared at Yu Fuluo with an incomprehensible expression: "The Han army will reluctantly help the Southern Xiongnu tribes leave the territory of the Han."
Yu Fuluo was stiff and speechless.
He knew that Liu Bei was not joking.
If the Southern Xiongnu tribe did not agree to his request, or were unwilling to leave the Han territory on their own initiative, they would be greeted by an encirclement and suppression by the Han army.
In fact, the conditions given by Liu Bei are already very generous. For these people who have no role to play in the Han Empire, if they cannot provide value, they are not qualified to stay in the Han Empire.
Yu Fuluo didn't know how to refute, and he didn't dare to refute, so he could only bite the bullet and say meaningless arguments.
"General, we have been living in the Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years. This is allowed by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. Don't you agree?"
"Emperor Guangwu did keep you, but he also asked you to fight for the Han Dynasty, but you were unwilling."
"Now those who are willing and those who are unwilling have been defeated by you! Our troops are willing to fight for the Han!"
"But I don't need it now. My army is strong enough. There is no point in keeping you."
Liu Bei spread his hands: "Chanyu, you have seen my army, do you think you can defeat them?"
Yu Fuluo was speechless.
Zhang Yan, who was watching, also felt that this was a matter of course - the Southern Xiongnu would definitely not be able to defeat Liu Bei's army.
So we came to the conclusion that it is no longer necessary to keep the Southern Huns.
Yu Fuluo lowered his head feebly.
Liu Bei just smiled.
"Da Chanyu, you should think carefully about whether what I said makes sense. If you stay, register as a householder, become Han Chinese, and accept the governance of the imperial court, then everyone can survive and have food to eat.
You have clothes to wear, and you can live in a house, protected from wind, sun, and rain.
If you choose to leave, there will not be that much land for you to cultivate on the grassland, nor will there be ready-made houses for you to live in, nor will there be a strong army to protect you. What you need to face are unknown risks, and you will all die on the grassland.
possibility.
Compared with all the deaths, is it really that bad to stay in the Han Dynasty and be a Han? Are you really so obsessed with your identity as a Huns and not willing to be a Han? I don't think you have any need to insist on this.
The choice doesn’t seem difficult.”
Yu Fuluo raised his head and looked at Liu Bei, his face full of panic.
"General, this... this is not a decision I can make alone. I... I have no way to give you an answer here..."
"This is not what I need to care about, Da Shanyu. Since I call you Da Shanyu, of course it means that I am talking about the problem with you, not with anyone else."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "The most difficult group of opponents are dead or have become official slaves. If you can't control the next group of gentle people, then what qualifications do you have to do this?
So what? I have to reconsider even the next things."
Yu Fuluo's mood suddenly became heavier and more broken.
"General, our subordinates... will definitely be loyal, we..."
"I don't care about these, I only care about whether you are Huns or Han."
Liu Bei interrupted Yu Fuluo's words and gave him the final heavy blow.
Yu Fuluo was completely desperate. He knew that there was no way to continue fighting for the future they wanted. As a weak person, he had no qualifications to actively fight for it in front of the strong...
No, he still has a choice.
He can choose to accept it, or he can be forced to accept it.
