Tian Chou's words were like the sound of nature, and like the thorn in the cone, which pierced into Tuoba Liwei's mind unstoppable.

Establish a country! He actually said to establish a country!

But it is no wonder that Tuoba Li is so excited...

Since the grassland tribes joined the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago, the highest one has always regarded themselves as King Shanyu, a subsidiary of the Han court. Although it is like the example of Goryeo and similar to the vassals of the Han Dynasty, the practice of truly establishing a country and becoming an independent country has never been learned from the past. It is not that the barbarians do not want to do it. On the contrary, they all think about it, but they are afraid that the Han Dynasty is extremely powerful, which makes no one dare to do it.

It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Middle Earth and the princes were in chaos that this situation changed deeply. The Han Dynasty, which had always suppressed the frontiers and the countries in the Western Regions, finally changed, like a huge building shaking and collapsed with a bang.

This situation is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the tribes or countries that have been suppressed by the Han Dynasty. The situation over the past few hundred years is likely to change in one day. Therefore, many tribes began to show their inspiration without realizing it, among which the three major tribes of Xianbei, the Southern Xiongnu, the Qiang tribe, etc.

Even though many tribes had abnormal movements, the smart Tuoba Liwei was not blinded by this change in the Han Dynasty. He still kept a low profile and defected to Yuan Shang at the right time...

Because Tuoba Li knew very well that a lean camel was bigger than a horse, and the hundreds of years of pressure and powerful strength of the Han Dynasty could not collapse overnight.

Sure enough, according to Tuoba Liwei's thoughts, in the face of foreign invaders, Yuan Shang and Cao Cao joined hands to fight against the enemy, severely damaged the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, and killed their leaders. Yuan Shang was going to be severely injured in the next few years. The Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu, who were slaughtered, pretended to cede land and moved them into the country, so that their people could intermarry, combine, and assimilate... The Qiang tribes in the northwest were also suppressed by Yuan Shang after the Guanzhong Rebellion initiated by Yan Xing, subdued the Qiang tribes, and the Qiang tribes had become the vanguard army for Yuan Shang to open up the Western Regions.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice. These stupid tribes thought they were strong and ignored the true strength of the people in the Central Plains. Tuoba Liwei would never make the same mistake as them.

Therefore, Tuoba Liwei has always been very careful about the Central Plains. Therefore, SuoToubu has become the only force of the Xianbei tribe that has not been confiscated. With the assistance of Yuan Shang, the chiefs of the general commander, all the far and near, are afraid of surrender. Now the Tunzha tribe Yu Shengle has become the overlord of Mobei.

Although Tuoba Liwei has always been obedient and always followed Yuan Shangma, it does not mean that he has no ambitions, but his ambitions are very subtle. Because he is a wise man, he knows that short-term civil strife will not cause the Han Dynasty to decline. With the current situation of the Han Dynasty, if you want to take advantage of it, you may have to wait at least one to two hundred years before you have the chance.

In history, the facts were indeed as Tuoba Liwei thought. A hundred years later, the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms rose in Central China. From Shu in North China to the Jianghuai River, they were all involved. Among them, the descendants of Tuoba Liwei's brother Tuofa Pigu also established the Southern Liang Kingdom regime at that time.

Tuoba Gui, a descendant of Tuoba Liwei, also established the Northern Wei regime during the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Even the descendants were like this, how could the first lord Tuoba Liwei have no ambition? It was just because he was afraid of the current strength of the Han Dynasty, so he was very restrained and implicit.

Although Tuoba Liwei has always hidden himself very deeply, he is not a god after all, and cannot hide himself perfectly. When Tian Chou said the word "Founding a Country" to him, in just a moment, an indelible light broke out in Tuoba Liwei's eyes, which was still keenly captured by Tian Chou.

*********************************

Central Plains, Xuchang.

Since seeing Xun Yu being rejected by him, Yuan Shang did not look for him again, but began to move Cao and Xiahou's relatives to Yecheng one by one.

Among them, there were also three generals who served in the army, Xiahou Dun, Cao Zhang and Cao Ren. The others were okay, but the three of them were too famous in the army, and Yuan Shang had to worry about it, so they retained their military ranks and their salaries were the same. However, in the name of Anding Cao and Xiahou living in Yecheng, they asked them to go to Yecheng together for the time being and make a decision in the future.

It’s okay for Xiahou Dun and Cao Zhang. After all, the relationship between Xiahou Yuan and Cao Zhi is there. Even if it is not reused in the future, there is no need to worry about posing any threat to him. The key issue is Cao Ren.

Because of Cao Hong's death, Yuan Shang always felt that Cao Ren had more or less hatred for him when he looked at him.

This Cao Ren is not easy to kill him now... But when the Central Plains are stable in the future and the Cao family is stable, if he still has hostility and threats to himself, then he will never keep him!

Yuan Shang secretly made up his mind for himself.

The night before Cao Zhi moved to Yecheng with Cao's family, Yuan Shang asked Cao Zhi to have a drink alone. The two of them had a heart-to-heart talk as the heads of Yuan and Cao. The two were drunk, cried and made a fuss, sang and danced, and they lost their minds and almost had tossed for a night.

When he was drunk, Cao Zhi was reluctant to leave Xudu, who had lived for a long time. He suddenly remembered his father Cao Cao and cried bitterly. Yuan Shang took advantage of the drunkenness and threatened that in order for Cao Zhi to stop thinking about his father, he was willing to burn the entire Xuchang for him as a memorial. The two held a torch, hugged their necks and waists and walked out of the mansion. Fortunately, the family generals with him were watching it carefully and fought to stop the two drunks. But they did not stop, and then ran to Cao Cao's tomb outside Xuchang to pay tribute. Then they knelt on the ground in front of Cao Cao's tomb, becoming sworn brothers from a different surname. The two urinated on Cao Cao's tomb together, like dogs placing the territory, and then they calmly returned to their residence to sleep.

Since then, a popular gossip story about Yuan Shang and Cao Zhi urinating on his grave began to spread in Xuchang City.

The next morning, Cao Zhi, under the support of a group of Yuan Jun, went to Xuchang with the last group of Cao's relatives. Yuan Shang did not get up and sent him to bed because he was drunk. He slept until noon that day, and then his personal bodyguard summoned him up.

The headache was split, and the joints all over the body were sour, sour, and soft, just like someone took the opportunity to molest him after he got drunk last night.

It's really uncomfortable to have a hangover, and I feel like I can't explain it clearly.

Rubbing his forehead, Yuan Shang slowly opened his eyes, and then stood up to take a shower and change his clothes with the help of the guards.

"General, Mr. Liu has been waiting in the main hall for a long time." The guard said to Yuan Shang carefully.

Yuan Shang was confused and didn't react for a while. He said in a while: "Young Master Liu? Which Youth Master Liu?"

"It's the one Liu Xun, Mr. Liu who came from the Southern Barbarians?"

Yuan Shang suddenly woke up. He was so busy that he had forgotten the beggar envoy from the Southern Barbarians to clean up.

"Is he still alive?" Yuan Shang muttered and turned to look at the guards and said, "I thought he had been starved to death."

The guard smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, that young master Liu is not only alive, but also obviously has a lot of weight than when he came last time."

"Oh? This is interesting. Then I have to go and meet him...how long has he been waiting?"

"It will take at least two hours."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this. After finishing his clothes, he came to the main hall under the guidance of the guards.

At this time, Liu Xun was holding his hands behind his back in the hall, bored and walking back and forth. His face occasionally showed anxiety, and he seemed a little lonely in spirit, but his expression was much stronger than in the past few days. Judging from this, it should be because he had a few full meals.

“Hahaha~~”

Before the person arrived, laughter came. When Liu Xun was impatient, he saw Yuan Shang strode over with a smile. He enthusiastically stepped forward and grabbed Liu Xun's hand, apologized: "Young Master Liu, Yuan was not in good health and slept for a few more hours. It is a great crime to wait here! I'm negligent, negligent!"

Yuan Shang smiled sincerely and spoke enthusiastically. If he didn't understand him, he would really say that he was a kind-hearted young man.

But if you know him, everyone knows that this guy doesn't spit out bones if he eats people, and he will be thinking about you, and you will be left with a piece of scum.

Liu Xun was certainly unhappy after waiting for so long, but he didn't dare to say that in front of Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang said that he was very guilty, but if Liu Xun took these polite words as real, he could basically take a shower and go to bed.

"It is common sense for the general to work hard for the country, to rest more. Liu Xun is actually an honor to wait for the general here."

Although he knew that Liu Xun's words were "chiluo" naked and polite flattery, Yuan Shang was quite comfortable when he heard them. He looked at Liu Xun up and down a few times. Although he was still wearing the beggar costume, his face was obviously much better than last time. As the guard said, he was indeed a little fatter.

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Mr. Liu seems to be a little fatter than the last time?"

Liu Xun smiled slightly and was about to make some polite words, but Yuan Shang's next sentence almost made him angry.

"Is it because Xu Du's food is easier to buy than Nanman?"

“…………”

After a long time...

"I'm not a beggar!" Liu Xun whispered to Yuan Shang.
