Three Kingdoms

If a plan can be used for a hundred years or more, of course it is best, but in most cases, ten or twenty years is already very impressive, and it may only be an outline. It's a general direction. When it comes to specific matters, today's plan may need to be revised tomorrow.

For example, yesterday the master of the house said he wanted to eat Malatang tomorrow, and then after a nap, he wanted to eat Maocai. Although they are both spicy, they have two names and different methods...

Just like the Huns and the Southern Huns, they are two different things.

As the first nation to almost fully accept Han culture - well, this first naturally starts from Feiqian to Bingbei - the current state of the Southern Xiongnu is very interesting.

On the one hand, the Southern Huns still maintain some of their original structures, such as Chanyu, King Youxian, etc., but these positions are like the F area on the keyboard. Sometimes they are useful, but most of the time they are not used. Not.

On the other hand, the Chinese culture accepted by the Southern Xiongnu has been quite deep, so much so that most of the Southern Xiongnu people can speak Chinese, and this is especially true for the children of the Southern Xiongnu. Some of them speak Chinese even better than those in the Han area The children in the middle are even more agile.

After all, Southern Xiongnu can be regarded as Feiqian's first "education demonstration base"...

"Great Chanyu!" Fei Qian smiled, opened his hands and hugged Hufro, and then looked up and down, "Haha, Da Shanyu looks good..."

Humphrey also laughed, and then patted his belly, "No, look at my belly, it's getting fatter and fatter. If this continues, I'm afraid even the horses won't be able to carry me..."

Fei Qian also smiled, "It doesn't matter, just change it to a better horse!" After two days, I will send you some horses! They are all good horses from Dawan in the Western Region! 』

"real? Yu Fulo's eyes lit up, "Dawan's bloody horse?" 』

"I don't even have a horse with blood... Haha, that horse is really rare!" Fei Qian smiled and said, "I sent people to search in the Western Regions, but they haven't been found... Hey, but what I gave you is not bad. You will know when the time comes..."

Humphrey nodded repeatedly, "Hahaha, that's natural..."

The two people walked forward while talking.

This is considered the royal court of the Southern Huns, but this royal court is different from all the barbarian royal courts in the grassland and desert.

A normal barbarian royal court would have a huge royal tent in the middle, surrounded by circles of tents, but now...

Where can I find a house that is comfortable to live in a tent?

People like a dry and refreshing environment. If they stay in a humid and dirty place for a long time, not to mention whether they will get sick or not, the skin will easily break out in a rash if it lasts for a day or two. If it is not controlled, scratching may lead to infection... …

Comparatively speaking, a house has better ventilation, better insect protection, and a better living environment than a tent. So much so that the current royal tent of the Southern Huns is actually a large round house, except that the outside is It was just surrounded by a curtain.

The surrounding roads are also paved with stone slabs, and gravel is filled between the stone slabs to avoid muddy weather on rainy days. On both sides of the road, there are more houses than tents, which are similar to royal tents. There are some patterned curtains on the outside of the houses as decoration, which should represent a certain status.

Yufro's royal tent was very large, even bigger than when he used the tent before. After accommodating Fei Qian, Yufro and others, as well as their respective personal guards, etc., there was still no place in the royal tent. It will feel very crowded.

Of course, if they were to forcefully force people into the king's tent, they would probably only have about a hundred people. Like now, with a total of less than thirty people from both sides, there would naturally be no pressure.

Humphrey seemed to be in great spirits. Not only did he call out his wife, but also his children to see Fei Qian. Obviously, when it comes to giving birth to children, or in terms of heirs, Yufro feels that he is far superior to Fei Qian, and he laughs so hard that he can't even see his eyebrows.

Fei Qian also called out Fei Zhen, and then greeted each other.

In such an atmosphere, everything was so harmonious, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the banquet lasted from morning to evening.

Bonfires were lit, reflecting the night sky.

Fei Qian and Hufro told each other some interesting stories, burst out laughing from time to time, and toasted each other, but Fei Qian often drank at random, while Hufro drank one bowl after another.

The Han people and the Southern Huns sang and danced around the bonfire together. Some Southern Xiongnu women were swaying by the bonfire while looking at the Han people. Then, with a glance, they led the Han soldiers to a house or tent nearby, which provoked the Southern Xiongnu nearby. The young man glared angrily...

A night of silence.

Although Yu Fulo didn't mind sharing a few wives with Fei Qian, Fei Qian was not as interested in this kind of thing as Lao Cao, so he pretended to be drunk to cover it up. Anyway, Xu Chu stopped at the door. If any of Yu Fuluo's wives could defeat Xu Chu in terms of force, then Fei Qian might really want to get up and meet him.

The next day, there was another lively breakfast. Fei Qian made an appointment with Yu Fulo to go to Yinshan City in two days, and then took the people back...

Hufro was almost supported before he could stand firm, and said goodbye to Fei Qian with a smell of alcohol all over his body.

But when Fei Qian and his party disappeared over the horizon, and Yuvrou staggered back to his royal tent, he didn't even fall down, nor did his feet shake. He walked straight to the throne in the middle and sat down. , and then remained silent.

The light at the curtain of the king's tent flickered, and Yufuluo's three sons walked in, caressing their chests and bowing to Yufuluo, "Father..."

"Come! ” Hufro waved his hand.

Humphrey's third son looked most like Humphrey. He was still young and was very good at bow and horse. Humphrey naturally placed relatively high expectations on him.

"Do you feel aggrieved for not being able to attend the banquet last night?" ’ Huvrou asked.

The third prince shook his head and said, "My father must have arranged this arrangement with my father's intention...how can I say that I am not aggrieved?" 』

Yuvrou nodded and said: "Qiusi, he seems to be smiling and honest, but in fact he is extremely cunning. He suffered a lot as a father... So I am worried that if you show up, you will He noticed something..."

The third prince was a little puzzled.

"Look... apart from us, the older generation, among the people in the clan, how many of your age are still speaking Shiwei dialect?" How many of us remember our own etiquette? ” As Yufroo spoke, he became a little indignant, “When we meet each other, do we use our Shiwei etiquette more, or do we use Han people’s etiquette more? When speaking, I wish I could speak all in Chinese. Even if I can't speak a full sentence, I still have to mix in a few Chinese words to show my ability... Is that ability? ah? Every time I see these... Hi! 』

Yuvro patted his chest, exhaled, and then continued, "I learned these Han things back then to strengthen our own tribe and understand the strengths and weaknesses of our opponents. It was not to show off or to be in front of my tribe." What to show, but these young people in the tribe now... So I don't let you learn these Han people's things, and I don't let you use them. I want you to know that we are the sons of the plow, and we belong to the grassland and the desert. Shiwei people... we will go back one day... we will go back one day..."

Humphrey said, but his voice that should have been excited actually dropped. Perhaps because of the strength of the wine, or perhaps because of exhaustion, his expression was a little sluggish. After sighing, he said, "Your father, I can't do it." , now all hope is on you... You have to learn your skills well and don't be influenced by those fancy Han things... We Shiwei people, after all, belong to the grassland..."

"Now we are here, just waiting for the opportunity, as long as that day..." Yuvrou's voice became lower and lower, "As long as one day, one day... there is..."

The third prince listened, and then there was no sound after a while. He couldn't help but look up, and saw that Yuvrou was lying on the throne, snoring and sleeping.

Humphrey was not too young. After a day of tossing, even if he pretended to be drunk, his energy was exhausted. After Fei Qian left, the string in his heart loosened, and naturally he could not suppress the exhaustion and fell into a coma. sleep.

"..." The third prince stood up quietly and was silent for a while. Then he covered Humphrey with a leather blanket. After walking out of the royal tent, he turned the corner and bumped into Humphrey's. Eldest son.

"Hello, big brother..." The third prince saluted with one hand on his chest.

"What's the point of being a big brother..." A young tribesman next to the eldest prince imitated in a strange way, "This should be done, come on, learn from it, put your hands in one place, forward, like this, and then say, "I've seen it before. "Brother", do you know if you want to call "brother"? Brother Tiantian, what should I cut..."

"Forget it..." The eldest prince waved his hand, "Third brother is different from others... It's just that, third brother, I'm a little strange, father... father likes you so much, why didn't he let you out last night? Where to see the hussar general? 』

"Does this need to be said? He must be afraid that he might say something wrong or do something wrong, and then anger the General Hussars! What if... Hahaha, wouldn't it be... Hahaha..." The follower laughed happily, "Did you see it? This is what the Cavalry General awarded to our eldest prince! This is called Hanyu! The so-called humble gentleman is worthy of Yuzhang! What does this mean? It means that the Cavalry General likes our eldest prince! Recognize our great prince! But I don’t know...what did the General Hussar give you, the Third Prince? Um? 』

The third prince stepped aside, and then walked away, "I don't have any rewards... Brother, um, brother, I'll leave first if it's okay..."

"you! rude! 』

The follower was about to say anything, but was stopped by the eldest prince, "Okay, third brother, please do your business..."

Seeing the third prince walking away, the eldest prince narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly, "How do you say that?" By the way, rotten wood cannot be carved! 』

"Exactly!" The Master said, "Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor can a wall of dung be demolished!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"

……\\(^o^)/……

On the other side, halfway through, Fei Qian's drunken look also turned away, leaving Fei Zhen stunned for a moment.

Fei Qian chuckled. If he didn't have this ability, he would think back then... well, forget it, the days when he would drink with big leaders and small leaders in future generations would be unbearable to look back on. If he didn't have the skills to pretend to be drunk, then he would really just have to be with him. .

Huang Xu handed over a small bamboo tube. After opening it, the sour smell hit his nostrils. Fei Qian took a sip and suddenly shivered, and most of the remaining drunkenness dissipated.

Fei Qian closed the lid, threw it back to Huang Xu, and then waved to Fei Zhen.

"I didn't ask you anything along the way..." Fei Qian said, "Do you know why?" 』

Feizhen nodded and said, "I know, my father didn't ask because he didn't want me to think only about the questions my father asked. Instead, I should read more and think more about... all the questions..."

Fei Qian gently turned the riding whip, "Then tell me first, what do you think of the Southern Huns...?" 』

"The Southern Xiongnu is dead!" Feizhen said in a deep voice.

"How can I see it?" Fei Qian asked.

"Virtue overflows with fame, fame overflows with violence, wisdom comes from gossip, knowledge comes from fighting, firewood comes from guarding, and the results of official affairs come from everyone's favor." When it rains in spring, grass and trees grow in anger, so Choju begins to cultivate them. Most of the people who have planted the grass and trees don’t know what they are doing..." Feizhen said slowly, "That's it..."

Fei Qian turned around and said, "Huh?" Have you read Zhuangzi? 』

Feizhen nodded and said: "I took a book written by Er Niang from Pingyang Library..."

"Ha, you haven't even finished reading Spring and Autumn..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Being greedy for too much is not a good thing..."

"My child, please remember that I only took this one..." Feizhen said, "I picked it up conveniently at that time, and happened to read "Confucianism's Poetry and Ceremony at the Tomb"... I thought it was interesting, so I took it and looked at it... …』

Fei Qian laughed and nodded, "That's okay... Zhuangzi has a lot of extreme remarks, so don't believe them all. You should screen them carefully..."

Feizhen asked: "Why?" 』

Fei Qian turned around and said, "Just like "Confucians use poems and rituals to carry tombs." Are all those who carry tombs all over the world Confucian? 』

Feizhen nodded and said: "My child understands, just like Spring and Autumn, don't stop studying." 』

"Of course!" Fei Qian smiled and said, "Let's talk about the Southern Xiongnu..."

"Now that the foundation of the Southern Xiongnu has been destroyed...it is like a tree without roots, and its vitality has been extinguished. Although life is not hindered at the moment..." Feizhen said, "it is like a continuous tree or a righteous canal..."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin State bordered Xirong. The strongest among the Xirong tribes were Mianzhu and Yiqu. At that time, King Mianzhu heard that Duke Mu of Qin was a virtuous man, so he sent Yu Yu as an envoy to Qin. Originally, he might have asked Yu Yu to spy on Qin's situation first.

Duke Mu of Qin received Youyu ceremoniously, showed him Qin's magnificent palaces and abundant reserves, and learned about Xirong's terrain and military strength. While trying to persuade Yu Yu to stay in the Qin State, Duke Mu of Qin sent the Mianzhu kings to enjoy the beautiful wine, which made the Mianzhu kings content with their enjoyment, which was not beneficial to the state affairs. Some of the good strategies that Yu Yu proposed after returning, the Mianzhu kings also basically Not in the mood to obey.

Finally, when the state of Qin waited for Mianzhu to decline, it sent out troops in one fell swoop to capture the king of Mianzhu, and then controlled the other small countries of Xirong.

What Feizhen means is that the Southern Xiongnu are now like the kings of Mianzhu. They are content with enjoying themselves and ignore the government, and will eventually perish.

Fei Qian laughed, and then said: "It's only half right..."

"Why half again?" ” Feizhen slapped her forehead, and then asked, “Dare I ask my father, the other half...”

Fei Qian pointed with his hand and said, "I'll tell you when I get to Yinshan City!" 』

Yinshan City was the military stronghold first built by Xu Huang and others, and then it was continuously expanded and repaired. It is now several miles in circumference and has a rather majestic air based on the mountain topography.

Li Dian had already received the news early, so he went out to welcome Fei Qian and took him back to the city.

Although Fei Qian pretended to be drunk, he still drank a lot. After returning to the city to take a bath, he rested for a while before he completely sobered up. He sat in the hall and drank tea with Li Dian while asking about Yinshan Mountain. Cavalry training matters and surrounding conditions.

Today, most of Feiqian's cavalry sources come from the training ground in Yinshan. Each cavalry requires about a year of training from novice to veteran, and then about one-third of the trained cavalry The second meeting was distributed to various places, and the remaining one-third became the new teaching team to welcome the arrival of a new batch of rookies.

Some of them who are good at teaching are gradually promoted to become professional teaching backbones and serve as non-commissioned officers. Generally, teaching veterans will be rotated within two to three years. These rotated veterans will have a higher starting point. After being assigned to various units, they will soon become corps commanders or commanders, or even commanders of Qu Changtun. Therefore, almost every cavalryman trained in Yinshan , all want to stay in the teaching team.

These achievements are related to the successive generals of Yinshan.

To have a good foundation, we must also have good inheritance.

From Xu Huang to Zhao Yun, and then to Li Dian, they were all very strict about military training, which allowed Yinshan, a training venue, to maintain a good operating situation.

After chatting for a while about Yinshan's military affairs, Fei Qian waved his hand and asked the ordinary non-commissioned officers and guards to leave first, and then talked to Li Dian about the problem of the Southern Huns.

"Although Yu Fuluo of the Southern Xiongnu is old and weak, he still needs to pay attention..." Fei Qian said slowly, "During the banquet yesterday, his three sons were not seen... I think Yu Fuluo must have hidden them intentionally..." …』

Yuvluo has many children, of course some are excellent, some are ordinary, and some are stupid. However, during yesterday's banquet, Fei Qian did not see the third prince that Li Dian specially mentioned...

Of course, it is also possible that he happened to be away, or happened to be sick, but Fei Qian was more willing to believe that Yuvluo was hiding something, and such behavior already explained something...
