Guo Jia and others all raised their hands and said, "Please give me your orders, my lord (eldest brother)."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "After the war here is over, you must arrange an elite army to rush to the various villages of the Meng family as quickly as possible to place the old, weak, women and children of the Meng family. All clan leaders will
All family members, regardless of age or age, and those who are taller than a wheel will be beheaded, and women and children will be made official slaves. The rest of the people will be merged into various tribes, women will remarry, and men will be slaves."
This is not resettlement, it is clearly a naked suppression. Guo Jia and others did not have much favorable impression of foreigners, so they agreed in unison. Dianwei did not have any discrimination against foreigners because his wife was a barbarian. But the Meng family
Differently, in Dian Wei's eyes, Meng Huo raised his army mostly because of Zhu Rong. How could he tolerate others robbing his eldest brother of women? Naturally, he even hated the entire Meng family.
Feng Lie was shocked when he heard this. The Meng family was going to be exterminated! He hurriedly leaned over and said, "Lord..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xin waved his hand decisively and said: "Feng Lie, you don't need to plead for them. I am doing this for their own good. You also said just now that if we don't want to attack, other tribes will
Instead of letting them live in fear and fear, it would be better to get them settled as soon as possible."
For such a far-fetched reason, even Liu Xin himself felt a little thick-skinned. But he understood better that there were many bloody lessons in history. Some nations often burst out with great potential in adversity. Even though they are very powerful now.
Weak, but maybe in a few decades they will be strong enough to trample those who originally oppressed them. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself. Feng Lie may not understand this truth, but Liu Xin must know it.
Looking at Feng Lie with a sad face, Liu Xin patted him on the shoulder and said sternly: "Liu is not a person who likes killing, but for the long-term peace and stability of the entire Nanzhong, and for the Han and barbarian races to coexist peacefully forever, we must
There are trade-offs to be made.”
Guo Jia was resourceful. After listening to Liu Xin's arrangement, he naturally understood his purpose and said repeatedly: "In order to revive the Han Dynasty, my lord is willing to bear this bad reputation himself. This is really admirable by his subordinates."
Liu Xin was stunned when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "Fengxiao, you are wrong, it is not me who bears this bad reputation."
Guo Jia asked in confusion: "If it's not the lord, then who could it be?"
Liu Xin pointed at him and said seriously: "That's you!"
Guo Jia couldn't understand and said with a wry smile: "How can he be a subordinate?"
Liu Xin patted him on the shoulder and said: "Fengxiao, there is no other reason. I just need you to take the blame for me. What? Is it difficult?"
Guo Jia has always been bohemian and a well-known scoundrel. He doesn't attach much importance to his reputation. When Liu Xin asked him to take the blame, he laughed and said, "It's because my subordinates didn't notice. The master is responsible for the great cause of rejuvenation. How can he shoulder the blame?"
This notoriety? I will take the blame for this, and my subordinates will do their part! How can it be so difficult!"
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Wenpin also laughed. In their opinion, although the purge of foreign tribes that rebelled against the imperial court would bring some bad reputation, the bad reputation was not serious. In fact, such situations were not serious in
There have been many occurrences in the past dynasties, especially
This often happens when dynasties change. For example, Zheng He, the famous Three Treasures eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was originally the child of a small tribe in the border area of Yunnan. The people of this tribe suffered a genocide because they resisted the Ming army's attack.
of
The children and the rest were all slaughtered. Zheng He was only ten years old at the time and was sent to the Yan Palace as a slave. Two years later, he was castrated and became an eunuch. Although the court used this method to consolidate its rule, it was somewhat bloody, but it was also the most bloody.
Effective. Therefore, in the eyes of Guo Jia and others, doing so is a matter of course. Compared with others, Liu Xin's behavior is considered to be relatively benevolent. Except for the clan leader, ordinary people were not massacred. Guo
Chia, they don't have too many ideas.
One general's achievements are worth thousands of bones. In troubled times, which person who has climbed to a high position does not have his hands stained with blood? Liu Xin originally had a mentality of "freedom for others to comment on his merits and demerits for a thousand years", so how could he care about notoriety?
What's more, he already has a lot of notoriety in places outside his influence, and he doesn't care about one or two more. At first, he didn't think of finding someone to take the blame, otherwise he wouldn't blame Zhao Yun.
They all gathered together to discuss it, and it was entirely possible to leave it to Guo Jia to deal with in private. He heard Guo Jia mention "notoriety" and thought of Zhu Rong's feelings, so he came up with this idea temporarily.
Liu Xin turned around and saw a strange expression on Feng Lie's face. Knowing that he still had some unresolved knots, he sighed: "Well, actually Liu doesn't want to kill all the Meng family. After all, Liu had an affair with Meng Huo three years ago.
My father, Meng Dan, had a very happy chat with me, and we can be regarded as old friends. But last night, the golden-armored god entrusted me with a dream. This time, even if the Meng family can submit, it will not be out of sincerity, and he will turn against him in the long run.
Ask me to get rid of them as soon as possible. Think about it, if ten or twenty years later, the Han and barbarian people live in harmony and live a happy and peaceful life, and the Meng family suddenly rebels, they will inevitably be devastated again. I don’t know how many barbarian people there will be.
The family will be destroyed because of this. It is better to sacrifice the Meng family now than to have hundreds of barbarian tribes, large and small, and hundreds of thousands of Han people suffer from it many years later. Which one is lighter and which is more serious must not be ignored!"
Feng Lie was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned over and knelt down, and said loudly: "My lord, I have realized that I was wrong. I will let you take the blame for this!"
Liu Xin knew that what she just said had completely moved Feng Lie, and she no longer had to worry that he would reveal today's discussion to Zhu Rong, so she stretched out her hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "General Feng, you are not wrong.
To be a general, in addition to courage and resourcefulness, you also need benevolence. I am very satisfied with your performance! The Meng family and your Feng family are close friends and the same clan. It is not appropriate for you to take the blame. It is better for Feng to do so.
Xiaolai."
Feng Lie said firmly: "Back to my lord, I think there is nothing inappropriate. Feng, Zhu, and the three Meng families have advanced and retreated together. It was the Meng family who violated the covenant first and betrayed their trust. I was so angry that I killed the Meng family.
It is understandable. In fact, mutual killings between barbarian tribes also occurred from time to time. If the Meng family had not kept annexing those small tribes, they would not have developed such a powerful force today. After listening to the words of the lord,
Only then did the general realize that the Meng family must have been planning this for a long time."
Ever since he became the commander of the barbarian army, Feng Lie had been forced to read a lot of books. He only had a partial understanding of most of the contents in the books, but he was able to connect Liu Xin's nonsense with the development of the Meng family.
He still spoke plausibly. Liu Xin was speechless for a moment, so she could only touch her bare chin and said: "Yes, yes, General Feng has made great progress recently! I'll leave it to you to handle the Meng family's affairs. I will continue to study more in the future."
, don’t relax!”
After arriving in this era, Liu Xin still maintained the habit of shaving and did not grow a beard like others, so his chin was always smooth.
After explaining these two things, Liu Xin left Guo Jia's camp and patrolled around the military camp. After all, the camps of ordinary soldiers could not have beds, tables and chairs like the camps of him and Guo Jia and others. Many soldiers had
They slept on the ground. The continuous autumn rain filled the air with moisture. You can imagine the suffering of the soldiers sleeping on such a ground. At this time, Liu Xin gave a simple condolence, an encouraging smile, and a casual handshake.
, can make the soldiers excited, no matter how hard or tired they are, they don't feel it at all. After this circle, the morale of the soldiers has been raised to a new peak, and the whole military camp is filled with laughter and laughter.
When he came to Guo Jia's camp again, Guo Jia had already handed the defense map back to Liu Xin with a smile. He had already copied it. Although the defense map drawn by Lu Kai was detailed, the lines were very simple and required
Copying such a picture was naturally a trivial matter for Guo Jia. He focused more on how to wipe out Meng Huo's 30,000 men.
Putting the defense map into his sleeve again, Liu Xin could finally return to his big tent with peace of mind. This was the Chinese army's big tent to discuss important military matters, but because Zhu Rong was "lai" inside and refused to leave, and Hou Qi was there,
The slaves who were loyal to their duties patrolled from time to time, and no soldiers came near for two days. Three meals a day were delivered by Zhu Rongyou's four cousins.
Liu Xin looked up at the sky. The red sun, which had been missing for two days, suddenly appeared among the clouds. It seemed that the day was going to be bright. In one or two days, troops could be used against the South-Chinese Allied Forces. Liu Xin walked as he walked
, while thinking about finding a reason to let Zhu Rong return to his tent, he suddenly looked up and saw the four little sisters of the Zhu family standing outside the tent, whispering, their faces flushed, and they didn't know what happy things they were talking about.
The four of them were completely unaware until Liu Xin came closer. Liu Xin coughed twice and asked, "Why don't you go in? What are you doing standing outside?"
Only then did the four of them wake up and hurriedly saluted. Zhu Yu was young and said with a smile: "We are afraid of disturbing Sister, so we don't dare to go in."
Barbarian daughters mature precociously. Although Zhu Yan, the oldest, is only fourteen years old, she is already considered a "leftover" among barbarian women. Seeing that Zhu Rong has not gotten up until now, she understands everything. She looked meaningfully
He glanced at Liu Xin and said quietly: "I just went in to see the slave family. My sister is sleeping soundly."
Zhu Yan's eyes were hot and bold, and a bit provocative, which made Liu Xin tremble and said hurriedly: "Oh, I'm not awake yet, I'll go in and take a look."
Zhu Ding chose these four girls of the same race to accompany Zhu Rong. These four girls all knew the purpose. Now seeing Zhu Rong's performance, they know that Liu Xin is not ordinary strong, and her "sexuality"
"Blessings" are guaranteed. Barbarian daughters are always generous and do not hide their emotions. Zhu Yan's eyes full of resentment are clearly a silent protest to Liu Xin. Since sister can't bear it, why not
