Chapter 013 Xianbei Sandalwood Locust

When he mentioned the Hu people, Gongsun Zan's gentleness just now suddenly disappeared. He looked angry and waved his arms, almost cursing: "These Hu dogs are born barbarians and do not know etiquette, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness. No matter how good they are to them, it will be useless. In recent years, not only the Xianbei people invaded every year, but the Wuhuan people who received countless relief from our Han Dynasty were not good people. They came to plunder, either by themselves, or with the Xianbei people. It is really hateful. If they don't kill them, they will not relieve their anger..."

Not only Lu Min was surprised, but even Liu Bei and Liu Xiu were a little surprised. Gongsun Zan gave them a good impression before this. Although he was a little arrogant, he was generally polite. He was also beautiful and handsome. He was a handsome young man. Why did he mention the Hu people so angry, so angry that he was like a bull in the vital part of his head.

Although Gongsun Zan was angry when he mentioned the Hu people, he was not only angry, but soon made people understand his abilities. He told Lu Min in detail the situation of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people invading western Liaoning over the past decade, including their attack direction and military distribution, who led the troops, what changes did their style of leading troops, and what losses did in western Liaoning each time, he explained clearly. Even the things that happened a few years ago were like in front of him, as if there was a tent in front of him.

Liu Xiu and others were almost dumbfounded, and their impression of Gongsun Zan had changed a lot. Lu Min's eyes showed admiration, Liu Bei was almost admiring, and Liu Xiu was also unhappy. He originally thought that Gongsun Zan was an incompetent martial artist, but he took advantage of the troubled times to gamble. Now it seems that Gongsun Zan is not only able to lead troops to fight, but also has a set of literary styles. Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, it should be no problem to be a prefect with his ability.

Prejudice kills people. Liu Xiu felt that he was a little confused for the first time and was glad that he did not get into evil with Gongsun Zan.

Lu Min listened carefully and finally asked: "Bo Gui, in your opinion, what is the reason why this Xianbei people are so arrogant?"

Gongsun Zan blurted out: "It's not the scholars who are stupid in studying." As soon as he said that, he regretted it. He looked at Lu Min awkwardly, coughed twice in concealment, and lowered his head.

Lu Min smiled disapprovingly and explained softly: "Do you have any opinions on the court's comfort strategy?"

"Yes." Gongsun Zan nodded, and saw that Lu Min was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "These Hu people are barbaric by nature. They don't know how to be grateful. I think it will be very effective if they want to inspire them by benevolence. Zhang Junranming, the general of the Huns, was so kind to them. Did they ever restrain themselves? It made them look down on me, Han people, and they became more arrogant. The court sent someone to marry, but was humiliated by Tan Shihuai. That year, he led a large army into the frontier and added a lot of money. According to Zan's foolish opinion, the court's urge to urge and pass the pass was just to spend money and feed the wolf with meat. He let these Hu dogs take countless salt and iron, and their minions were sharper."

He paused for a moment, glanced at Lu Min again and said, "In addition, in recent years, people who have often escaped from the border. It is said that some people have become lackeys of the Xianbei people for their own selfish interests, taught them military books and strategies, and told them about the mountains, rivers and rivers of the Han area. With the help of these beasts, the Xianbei people are even more inseparable from the water."

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this was probably the so-called traitor. It turned out that people who read the books of sages were still traitors. He glanced at Lu Min secretly and saw Lu Min frowning slightly and his face was not very good. After a moment, Lu Min asked again: "What do you know about that Tan Shihuai?"

"I don't know much, I just heard some news, and most of them are exaggerated." Gongsun Zan shook his head and said disdainfully: "Hu Gou doesn't know that the world is high, but when he comes out a talented person, he adds countless false words and praises him to the sky. In fact, in my opinion, he is at most a person like Maodun and Yi Zhixie. He is just a talent among the barbarians. If he really faces me, the heroes of Han people, such as Wei Huo, he can only escape when he sees the wind."

Gongsun Zan immediately told some things about the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai. This man was a wild breeder who couldn't tell the origin. His father was called Tuluhou. He worked as a mercenary among the Huns for three years. After returning, he found that his wife gave birth to a son of unknown origin. Of course, he was furious and threw him away. The boy had been herding cattle and sheep before he grew up to the 14th and 5th place. Once a group of horse thieves came and snatched all his cattle and sheep. The boy was so angry that he actually chased and killed all these horse thieves. When he heard this, Tuluhou was surprised and finally recognized him.

Not long after, the Marquis of Toulu died inexplicably. Tan Shihuai naturally inherited his men and was out of control since then. In five or six years, he conquered more than a dozen tribes and became kings. He even established a royal court in Danhan Mountain, less than 200 miles away from the Han territory, and blatantly opposed the Han people. The court court was in trouble. I don’t know which guy came up with a bad idea, and he proposed a marriage plan again, wanting to marry a princess to Tan Shihuai, hoping that he could be more stable and not have trouble every year. As a result, Tan Shihuai humiliated the envoy, and robbed it even more powerfully.

What makes people even more angry is that the powerful Han Dynasty bowed to him, bringing him a greater reputation. Not only were the Xianbei people gathered more and more under his tent, but even the Huns and Wuhuan people communicated secretly with him. Tan Shihuai became more powerful and became more arrogant. They were almost empty in these years, and they came in winter, and they were divided into several groups, making people unable to defend themselves. He also divided the vast grasslands in the north into three parts, from east to east of Youbeiping to Liaodong to the east, west to Shanggu as the central, and west to Shanggu as the western, and established a king, all of which belonged to him.

Lu Min's brows became more and more frowning. Although he was from Zhuo County, he had been an official in another place after his father Lu Zhi very early. He only knew that the Xianbei people were in great power over the years, but he did not expect the situation to be so serious. He also heard about the scholars who were very angry about going to the frontier to help the Xianbei people, but he did not want to tell some of the reasons to Gongsun Zan.

Since Emperor Guangwu’s revival, he boasted about his fame, encouraged morality, and used the classics to win scholars. Scholars were proud, but the good times did not last long. After Emperor Zhang, first the relatives of foreigners took power, and later the eunuchs were added. They fought for power and profit, and instead squeezed the scholars who were supposed to govern the country the most. Of course, scholars were not satisfied and fought constantly, but ashamed, although they read a lot of books, these were no match for relatives and eunuchs, and were repeatedly defeated. In the past decade, they had bad luck. The two party corruptions caused scholars to be greatly damaged. There were many people who escaped from the gates, who were originally energetic scholars, who died, as Gongsun Zan said.

As a member of scholars, although Lu Min dislikes those scholars who argue about the government and gather things to do with sentient beings at all times, in general, they still have sympathy for the blows suffered by scholars over the years, and they will not hate those scholars who escaped and blocked like Gongsun Zan. However, he refused to tolerate these people's behavior of helping the Xianbei people to invade the Han territory. It is understandable, but the reason is unforgivable. It would be fine to escape to Hu to save his life, but how could he help Hu people kill Han people? When he thought of these scum among scholars, Lu Min felt a fever on his face and was uncomfortable all over.
