Liu Xin shook his head and said: "My lord, you don't know Liu Bao. The fact that this man was able to escape from Guanzhong alone shows that he is cautious and cunning. And after he lost a hundred thousand Xiongnu cavalry, he was still able to win over some tribes and Xubugu
The feudal princes competing for control of the Xiongnu also shows that he still has many supporters among the various tribes of the Xiongnu. However, Huchuquan did not take Liu Bao into consideration at all, so there are quite a few variables."
In fact, there is a more important point that Liu Xin did not mention, that is, Liu Bao is quite ambitious. Liu Bao gave himself the surname "Liu" to flaunt his relationship with the Han royal family and wanted to find an opportunity.
Enter the colorful world of the Central Plains.
Liu Bao also accepted Dong Zhuo's call and led his troops into the pass, but Liu Bao's situation was different from Beigong Boyu. Beigong Boyu was a Qiang and had originally lived together with Han people in the Liangzhou area, while Dong Zhuo had always had good relations with various Qiang tribes.
It is reasonable for Beigong Boyu to respond to Dong Zhuo's request to send troops. Although the Southern Huns are nominally attached to the Han, they actually do not obey the orders of the Han court. Liu Bao can completely ignore Dong Zhuo's call. The reason why he
I agreed so readily because I wanted to take the opportunity to figure out the path after entering the customs and prepare for the invasion of the Central Plains in the future.
Historically, it was Liu Yuan, a descendant of Liu Bao, who started the Five Husties in China, and the country founded by Liu Yuan also took the name of "Han", which was borrowed from his surname "Liu". Liu Yuan's son
He even captured Luoyang, captured Emperor Huai of Jin, and led to the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Although Liu Xin was not very familiar with this period of history, he still knew the general situation. Therefore, he had always been on guard against Liu Bao. In the Battle of Guanzhong, his attack on the Huns' cavalry was slightly stronger than his attack on the Qiang cavalry.
Of course, it would be difficult for him to tell Jushou about these situations unless he used the trump card of the golden-armored god again. However, the trump card can only be used at the most critical time. The result of abuse is that the trump card will no longer work. Therefore, on this issue
Liu Xin can no longer use the name of the Golden Armored God to tell the history he knows.
However, Liu Xin can be sure that if Huchuquan wants to contact more tribes, it will be difficult to guarantee that the news will not reach Liu Bao's ears. It is even very likely that Huchuquan will list Liu Bao as someone he wants to contact.
Object. Because in Huchuquan’s view, the reason why Liu Bao had a civil war with Xubu Gudu was to compete for the position of Shanyu. Now that the position of Shanyu has returned to Yufuluo’s hands, he will inevitably
Being resentful is a good candidate to win over. But Hu Chuquan didn't know that since Liu Bao had such strong ambitions, how could he be willing to be a submissive citizen of a big man?
Liu Bao is the son of Yu Fuluo. Although Yu Fuluo has more than one son, as long as he continues to maintain the independence of the Xiongnu, he has hope to ascend to the position of Chanyu. If he becomes the Chanyu of the Xiongnu, Liu Bao will have
opportunity to integrate the power of the Xiongnu and lay the foundation for future entry into the Central Plains. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Liu Bao will stand on the side of Yuvluo. Even if Yuvluo agrees to merge the Xiongnu into the Han Dynasty, Liu Bao will jump
Come out and oppose.
Jushou still didn't believe it, so he leaned forward and said: "Back to my lord, according to what Huchuquan said in his letter, Liu Bao's tribe has been greatly weakened. Now it can be considered a medium tribe at most. Even if he objects, he probably won't have the strength to compete with Huchuquan.
Their alliance."
Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "Everything will be successful if it is forewarned, and it will be ruined if it is not forewarned. Since I have realized that there are many dangers in Huchuquan's trip, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it. My Lord, please pass on my order immediately and inform me.
Dragon, Han Sheng sent troops to Monan!"
Jushou was stunned, and quickly raised his hands and said, "It's freezing cold today, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and it's difficult for people and horses to pass. It's really a taboo to use troops. Please think twice, my lord."
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "The Huns are good at riding and shooting. If they are separated from their horses, they will be at a loss. Now, the heavy snow in the sky makes the horses difficult to move. It is not good for our army, and it is even more bad news for the Huns."
By weighing the two, we should be able to take advantage of this to achieve a surprise victory. Gongyu, you can rest assured that Zilong acts in a measured manner and he knows what to do."
Jushou couldn't say anything else, so he made a promise and left.
Seeing Jushou retreating, Diao Chan, who was waiting outside the door, quickly walked in, bowed deeply and said, "I wonder what your instructions are for calling the common girls here?"
It turned out that just now Liu Xin wanted to instruct the two little maids waiting in the study to ask Diao Chan to come over, but he only said half of the words when Ju Shou came in, so he put it aside in advance.
Because Jushou came to the study and had some confidential matters to discuss, the two maids were very well-behaved and quickly left.
Although these two maids were on duty in the study, hanging around Liu Xin all day long, they seemed to have close access to the water. In fact, due to the rules Ma Yun had set earlier, they had almost no chance. Moreover, they would inevitably come into contact with each other when working in the study.
When they learn about some confidential matters, they will not be like other maids who will be assigned out when they get older. Even if they are transferred out of the study, they will have to wait another three to five years before some of the secrets they were exposed to are no longer available.
They will not be allowed to get married until it is a secret or there is no need to keep it secret, but by then, they have already become old maids.
Among them was a little girl named Arou. Although she was illiterate, she was clever by nature. She quickly understood the joints, and the joy she felt when she was first transferred to the study was gradually replaced by sadness. However, Arou did not accept her fate.
, she has figured out that even maids in other places are the same, and they are inevitably destined to be assigned as domestic slaves. Only by becoming a certain lady's personal maid can they have the hope of becoming a master.
Madams Ma Yun, Bian Yu, and Cai Yan all have girls who are very close to them, so she definitely can't get in. Zhu Qian's original status in the Prefecture Mufu was similar to that of a servant, and she did many things herself.
There is no need for any personal maids. Cai Jue's family is from a wealthy family in Jingzhou. In order to please Liu Xin, Cai Jue chose ten dowry girls for his sister. They were all beauties. Even if she squeezed in, it would be in vain. As for Zhu Rong, she
I didn’t even dare to think about it. Although there was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl named Zhu Yu beside Zhu Rong, this Zhu Yuren was so bratty that she was always innocent and innocent in front of Liu Xin. If any of the more beautiful maids wanted to come in front of her,
Damn, she was going to fight with fists and kicks to protect her unique territory around Zhu Rong.
However, Ah Rou has recently made a new discovery, that is, the girl named Diao Chan in the house. It seems that the master's attitude towards her has changed. When it comes to beauty, several ladies are all beautiful, but compared to this Diao Chan
When Miss Chan came, she always felt that she was a little inferior. It would be logical for the master to take a fancy to this Miss Diao Chan. A Rou soon had a clear goal and strived to be the personal maid of this Miss Diao Chan.
Although Liu Xin didn't finish what she said just now, the general idea was to invite Diao Chan. So as soon as she exited the study, Ah Rou hurried to find Diao Chan. Diao Chan was naturally filled with joy when she heard that Liu Xin was looking for her.
You must know that this is the first time Liu Xin has taken the initiative to look for her after coming to the Prefectural Mufu for so many years, not to mention that it was only after her heart was attracted.
Although Liu Xin was slightly surprised by Diao Chan's sudden appearance, she didn't have time to delve deeper and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to be polite. How are you learning the Hun dance?"
Dance is Diao Chan's life. When Liu Xin asked about this matter, Diao Chan's face suddenly brightened up and she said crisply: "Sir, the Xiongnu dance is really different from our Han dance. It is passionate and unrestrained. Folk girls have practiced it for many days, but
It always only has its form and cannot capture its essence. If your Excellency wants the folk girls to perform dance, can you allow the folk girls to practice for some more time?"
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Liu just asked casually, girls don't need to take it to heart. The reason why the Xiongnu dance is so passionate and unrestrained is because they live on the vast grassland all year round. If you don't have that experience, you will naturally experience something different."
Maybe you will understand when you have a chance to walk on the grassland in the future."
Diao Chan lowered her head, thought about it very seriously, and said, "Your Majesty is right. Folk girls grew up in deep houses. Except when they came to Xiangyang from Chang'an, the fields they saw along the way were probably the most vast.
I really can’t understand what it’s like to be on the grassland.”
Liu Xin laughed loudly and said: "The fields are not vast, at most they are open. What is truly vast is the boundless sea."
Diao Chan blushed in embarrassment and said softly: "A folk girl has little knowledge and makes adults laugh."
Only then did Liu Xin realize that her laughter was a little presumptuous, and she couldn't help but cough twice in embarrassment, and said: "It's okay if the soil and water support a person. Zhao Ji is also practicing Hu Jie. I think her situation is similar to yours."
.”
Diao Chan said with embarrassment: "The third lady's talent in music is truly unprecedented. Madam got Huji and only practiced for three days. Even those Huns girls felt inferior. Madam also made up her own
Some of the songs need to be played to the adults after they become familiar with them."
Speaking of this, Diao Chan's face was filled with envy.
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, remembering the famous Hujie Eighteen Beats, and waved her hands repeatedly, saying: "Hujie's voice is sad and desolate, so don't listen to it."
Diao Chan's face was full of astonishment, and she stared at Liu Xin inexplicably with her big eyes. Cai Yan would go to the small courtyard next to the study with her almost every day. She learned dance from the Hun girls. Cai Yan was beside her.
When playing the cilantro, the music was obviously cheerful and unrestrained, but why did it turn into sad and desolate music when it came to Liu Xin's mouth?
Liu Xin didn't feel at all that what she said was wrong and continued: "Let's not talk about this for now. Miss Diaochan, Liu invited you over today because there is something he wants to discuss with you."
Diao Chan's heart skipped a beat. Liu Xin was now not just a pastor of Jingzhou, but an overlord who controlled the four states and had hundreds of thousands of troops. What could he have to discuss with her? Diao Chan was both looking forward to it and also
Somewhat anxious, he bit his sexy red lips and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions directly. There is no need to discuss it with the women of the country."
(I wish you all a happy New Year, a happy family, and all the best!)
