There are many slaves in the barbarian tribes. Most of these slaves are captives captured in tribal conflicts, and some are sold as slaves. No matter what kind of slaves they are, they not only have no personal freedom, but also no freedom to marry.
Can be matched by the master. If you abandon the slave,
He was captured by hunters in the mountains and sold to Mulu and became a slave. Although Mulu was kind to him, he could not change his status as a slave. Hou Qinu was a fool, and he had long accepted his fate as a slave.
As a slave, he naturally abides by all the rules of a slave and waits for his master to match him.
Liu Xin didn't know that the barbarians had such rules for treating slaves, and he didn't really treat Hou Qinu as a slave. Otherwise, he would have helped him find a woman in Nanzhong last time. The reason why he asked Hou now
Qinnu asked Pang, just to humiliate Liu Fan, but he didn't expect that Pang actually agreed to be Hou Qinu's woman in order to survive. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Qinu, from now on
, she belongs to you, you take her out."
In Hou Qinu's eyes, Liu Fan, Liu Zhang, Pang and Fei Shuang were all slaves like him. As a result, Liu Fan and Liu Zhang all had women, and as Liu Xin's most trustworthy slave, he should be more powerful than them.
He was qualified to have a woman. Fei Shuang was still just a child, and Hou Qinu had no interest in her, so he kept staring at Pangzi.
As a result, he really got Liu Xin's match for marriage. Hou Qinu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He rushed forward, picked up Pangzi from the ground, and carried it to his shoulders. His rough hands couldn't wait to hold it.
On Pang's fat ass. Pang's head hung on Hou Qinu's
On his back, his face was red and his expression was strange. He didn't know whether he was happy to have escaped death, or he was ashamed and angry because he was scorned by Hou Qinu in public. Hou Qinu couldn't control much, so he carried it happily.
Pangzi left the hall and went back to his room to be happy.
Seeing his wife being pointed out by Liu Xin to such a crude and ugly man, it was really a shame and humiliation for Liu Fan. He struggled to straighten up, his eyes were split, and he roared at Liu Xin: "
Liu Xin, you...wow..."
Liu Fan held a breath of bad breath in his chest and couldn't dissipate it. Finally, he couldn't suppress the blood spurting out and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "Forget it, take it out and bury it!"
Xun Yu and Xun Chen's expressions changed greatly. This Liu Fan was obviously just angry and had lost his temper for a moment. He had to be taken out and buried alive. Wouldn't that mean he was buried alive? Liu Xin was too cruel!
While they were hesitating, Liu Xin had already said: "Two gentlemen, when you get back, tell your lord that Liu will not agree to anything they said in their letter!"
Before Xun Yu came, he boasted about Haikou to Cao Cao, and he must convince Liu Xin to clear up his old grudges, and at least make Liu Xin refrain from sending troops to Cao Cao for three years to ensure that Cao Cao has enough energy to deal with Yuan Shao. Hearing Liu Xin's refusal,
Xun Yu was naturally taken aback, and quickly stood up and said, "Xun Yu is bold, please think again, Mr. Liu!"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said slowly: "Liu admires Mr. Wen Ruo's talent very much, but this matter is related to the future and destiny of our Han Dynasty. I forgive Liu for being unable to agree. The two gentlemen should know better than Liu.
Whether Cao Cao supported Liu Xie or Yuan Shao supported Liu Biao, they just regarded them as puppet emperors. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu naturally had the mission of revitalizing the Han Dynasty. How could he accept a puppet to do it?
Emperor of the Han Dynasty?"
Not only Xun Chen, but also Yuan Shao himself had guessed this result. The purpose of Yuan Shao asking Xun Chen to send this letter was just to express his attitude to Liu Xin. It would be better if Liu Xin was willing to side with him.
Otherwise, he would not hesitate to fall out with Liu Xin. After all, the two parties' territories are not bordering each other, and he does not have to worry about Liu Xin posing a direct threat to him.
Besides, after he takes care of Cao Cao, he will have to fight with Liu Xin sooner or later. As for whether Liu Xin will help Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is not worried anymore because he has already received the news. Not long ago, Cao Cao took advantage of Liu Xin's crusade against Dong Zhuo to make a sneak attack.
After passing Xiangyang, in this case, it would be fine if Liu Xin didn't stab Cao Cao in the back. How could she still help him?
Therefore, Xun Chen felt relieved when he heard that Liu Xin rejected Yuan Shao's proposal. He originally wanted to take the opportunity of delivering a letter to take a detour to his hometown. Whether Liu Xin refused or accepted, his mission was completed.
He can then go home early and take a look.
But Xun Yu was different.
As Xun Yu himself said, although the two brothers were doing their own thing, they tried their best. Even so, Xun Yu actually didn't know whether Xun Chen would do his best, but in any case, he was sure
He did his best for Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao is facing the dual threat of Liu Xin and Yuan Shao. He must try his best to resolve the grudge between Cao Cao and Liu Xin to reduce the pressure on Cao Cao.
Another point is that Xun Yu also agreed with Liu Xie as the emperor of the Han Dynasty. After all, Liu Xie was Liu Hong's biological son. In Xun Yu's eyes, Liu Xie was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. That's why he stood by Cao Cao without hesitation.
aside.
Therefore, when he learned of Liu Xin's resolute attitude, Xun Yu's heart suddenly went cold. However, he still wanted to make a final effort, so he handed over his hands and said: "Master Liu, my lord has indeed done something to take advantage of others.
, but it was indeed
There is indeed an edict from the emperor, and my lord does not dare to disobey it. Now that the matter has been done, I regret it. Therefore, my lord wants Xun to ask what conditions your lord needs before he is willing to shake hands with my lord.
and?"
Liu Xin snorted coldly: "Liu's conditions? When Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang, the city of Xiangyang was extremely empty, but Liu's wife, children, and children were all in the city, and they almost suffered his murderous murder! Liu can't wait to see it now.
He took Cao A'ao's dog head! However, for the sake of Mr. Wen Ruo, Liu will not argue with him. As long as he hands over the culprit who proposed the surprise attack on Xiangyang, Liu will not fight with him for the time being."
Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it is better to have conditions than no conditions. It is difficult to find the culprit. There are no other scapegoats these days. Although Xun Yu has accepted Liu Xin's conditions in his heart, he does not intend to
Agree easily, he bowed
He cupped his hands and said: "Master Liu, Mr. Xun heard that Yuan Shu of Runan was also involved in this sneak attack on Xiangyang, but Mr. Liu has not agreed to make a peace treaty with him, and has not heard of any conditions, but why does he treat my lord like this?
Do you favor one over the other?"
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "Wen Ruo, haven't you heard what others said about Cao Ah Man? He is a 'capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times'. How can he be compared to that idiot Yuan Shu? You also know that the world is in chaos now.
, Cao Cao, this traitor, has great ambitions, how could Liu just sit back and watch him develop into something like this!"
Xun Yu knew that he could not persuade Liu Xin, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If my master reveals the culprit, how long will it take for Mr. Liu to promise a temporary cessation of fighting?"
Liu Xin thought for a while and said: "It will be a period of two years! Liu will keep his word and will never take the initiative to use force with Cao Cao within two years. However, if Cao Cao provokes him first, don't blame Liu for not keeping his word. Still.
Yes, within a month from today, I will see the culprit, otherwise there will be no need to talk!"
Liu Xin had carefully considered the two-year period. This winter, the strength of the major legions would be fully replenished. After another year and a half of intensive training, they would be able to look down on all the princes in the world.
These two years are not necessarily sufficient for Cao Cao. First of all, he has to defeat Yuan Shao within two years and retain enough strength to deal with Liu Xin. This is quite difficult. Xun Yu certainly hopes that
He could buy more time, but from Liu Xin's decisive tone, he could tell that Liu Xin would not give him any room for maneuver.
Xun Yu said without hesitation: "Okay, then it's settled! Xun will leave now, and the culprit will be sent to Xiangyang within one month!"
He is a smart man. Since Liu Xin said so firmly, there is no need for him to be entangled anymore. After all, being able to gain two years is a good result. He needs to spend more energy on how to deal with Yuan Shao.
Moreover, he did not dare to delay. He had to rush back to Puyang as soon as possible and find a scapegoat to send over.
In fact, what Xun Yu didn't know was that Liu Xin himself didn't want to take action against Cao Cao in the short term. Because Liu Xin knew that years of war would overwhelm the people, and they would lose their support by then, and who can finally secure the people's support?
The foundation of the world.
Moreover, Liu Xin was not worried at all, because he knew very well that by then, whether Cao Cao ate Yuan Shao or Yuan Shao ate Cao Cao, they would both be at the end of their war effort. How could they be able to defeat his own leisurely work?
Hearing that Xun Yu wanted to leave, Liu Xin smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, Liu's reply has been made. You can just send a servant to deliver the letter back. You don't have to leave in a hurry."
Xun Yu's face changed color and he shouted sternly: "If the two countries are at war and the envoys are not killed, does Mr. Liu still want to forcibly detain my two brothers?"
"Wen Ruo, although we don't have a close relationship, we are old acquaintances. Is Mr. Liu as miserable as you said?" No one would be happy if he was wronged, and Liu Xin's face was slightly unhappy, and she was heavy-handed.
He said in a loud voice, "Liu just wants to persuade you to stay in Xiangyang for a few days because it's not easy for your two brothers to meet each other. Besides, there are some old friends of Wen Ruo here. Don't you want to meet them? If you really can't trust Liu
So, please help yourself!"
Xun Chen hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, please calm down. If Wen Ruo just said what he said unintentionally, how could he not trust you?"
Although they belong to different camps, they are brothers after all, and they still come out to help and say a few words at critical moments. When Xun Chen said this, Xun Yu also took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Mr. Liu kindly asks me to stay, if Xun wants to leave again, I will
It's a bit pretentious. I just heard Mr. Liu say that Mr. Xun really wants to meet Mr. Cai."
Because of Wei Zhongdao's incident, the Wei family spread rumors everywhere, saying that Liu Xin was worthless. How could Xun Yu not know that Cai Yong was in Xiangyang? So before Liu Xin could speak, Xun Yu had already continued: "
Mr. Xun has heard about the name of Xiangyang Academy for a long time, and I wonder if Mr. Liu can take my two brothers to have a look?"
