Chapter 38 The Way to Treat Hu

Zhao Yong did not force Lou Fan and Lin Hu to follow him south, but generously let King Lou Fan and King Lin Hu lead their troops back to the tribe, and then move south after gathering the old and weak women and children.

On the one hand, he is not worried about the repetition of Lou Fan and Lin Hu. Hu people believe that this tradition has been deeply integrated into their blood. On the other hand, he is also worried that his military strength is weak, and the second part is strong, and the guest is strong and weak. If it changes on the way, it may not be easy.

King Lin Hu and King Lou Fan naturally expressed their gratitude for this. They led their troops to withdraw from east and north. Zhao Yong cancelled the plan to go west to Gaojue. He camped in place for one night. On the next day, he turned to the south and quickly entered Yunzhong County and made arrangements to welcome the southward migration of two more than 500,000 tribes.

This victory made Zhao Jun's morale high, and everyone's face was full of joy. Many Lou Yan and Lin Hu people in Zhao Jun were even more happy. Although they have long been deeply integrated into the group of Zhao Jun, it is difficult to give up the feelings of their hometown. This time, Lou Fan and Lin Hu are willing to be attached to the State of Zhao, which means that more Lou Fan and Lin Hu warriors will join the cavalry of the State of Zhao in the future, which is undoubtedly excellent news for them.

Only Zhao Xin looked thoughtful. He was a little absent-minded and did not follow Lian Po, but followed his master's side. Looking at the master's words and stopping, I finally couldn't help it. I found an opportunity to ask the master alone when I camped in the evening; "Lord, my father, I'm a little puzzled, and I can't figure it out."

Zhao Yong said with a smile, "What's there that you don't understand? Tell me."

Zhao Xin said hesitantly, "I've always wanted to ask you, but I'm afraid that overdoing my duty will make you unhappy. Let's say it first. If I'm asking about something that shouldn't be asked, don't offend me."

Zhao Yong stared at him when he heard the words and said angrily, "If you have something to say, say it, fart, and stammer like a woman. If you don't talk well and make me unhappy, I will whip you." After saying that, he waved the whip and acted as if he wanted to fight.

Zhao Xin shrank his neck, "Oh," he hesitated for a moment to say something, and then asked, "Lord, I want to ask you to put Lou Fan and Lin Hu's two parts into Yunzhong and Yanmen. Aren't you afraid to lead the wolf into the room? They still have the Great Wall as a barrier on the grassland, but they are put into the inland. If they have a different mind, they can directly enter the heartland of the State of Zhao.

"What's more, as far as I know, the population of Yunzhong and Yanmen counties is only three or four hundred thousand, and the number of annoying and Lin Hu people has suddenly doubled. Although you have a good appetite, aren't you afraid of breaking your belly?"

Zhao Yong listened to Zhao Xin's last metaphor, and couldn't help laughing. He smiled and patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder and said, "That's good, you will also learn to think about these things. It's not that I haven't considered these concerns, but I naturally have my own plan to do so. After weighing the pros and cons, I finally chose this one. You are very curious. Do you really want to know?

Zhao Xin nodded seriously, with envy in his eyes, and said, "Lord, your ideas have always been emptiness. You don't dare to think about what others think, and don't dare to do it for others. How can such a little person like us guess what he thinks? I have a bad problem. If I can't figure it out, I can't help thinking about it desperately. If you don't tell me what you really think, I'm afraid I'll think about it day and night, and it's hard to sleep and eat.

Saying that Zhao Xin had a bitter face and a pitiful look here, Zhao Yong thought it was interesting and couldn't help laughing.

These days, he really likes the children of this same clan. Zhao Yong has three sons. The third son, Zhao Sheng, is young. He has not been with him since he was a child, and his feelings are weak. Although the second son Zhao He, that is, the king of Zhao today, is most favored by him, most of them is because of his mother Wu Wa. As for Zhao He's cowardly son, he has always been liked by Zhao Yong. As for his eldest son Zhao Zhang, he also Even the former deposed prince is a bit like his calmness and strength when he was young, and his ability to govern the army is not bad. He is one of the most reliable generals under his subordinates. However, it is a pity that Zhao Zhang is calm and more than enough, but he is not flexible. Bi Sheng is at most just a general and can't be the hero of a generation.

In front of him, Zhao Xin is like when he was young, he was quick-thinking, talented, proficient in military tactics, dared to fight, and had the spirit of being born with a calf and not afraid of tigers, which was extremely good at his temper. Thinking of this, Zhao Yong couldn't help sighing slightly. One of his two favorite sons, one inherited his talent for governing the country, and the other inherited his leading talent, but none of them could really be like himself. It's a pity that Zhao Xin is not his own heir, otherwise he is really an excellent successor.

Zhao Xin's eyes widened and couldn't take his eyes off his flickering master father, thinking that he was thinking about his own problems. If he guessed that the master's ideas would be passed on to him, I'm afraid that his eyes would fall out.

Zhao Yong's loss of trenness did not last long. Soon he recovered as usual and pondered for a while, but did not directly answer Zhao Xin's question. Instead, he asked, "I'll ask you a question first. Why do you think the Hu people want to be our enemy?"

Zhao Xin thought about it sideways and replied, "I think it's mainly because they live in poverty and often face disasters, so they need to plunder people and food from us."

Zhao Yong nodded, "What you said is almost right. The barren are mainly nomadic. If there is no disaster, it is okay. It is not a problem to have a full stomach. But the weather on the grassland is changing rapidly. If there are disasters such as snow and locust disasters, ten of the Hu people will have a famine. When they had a famine, the first thing they thought of was to plunder food from the Central Plains. After all, we are mainly engaged in farming, which is relatively stable. Even if the county is not harvested, we can get grain and grass from Handan. If Jinyang is short of grain, we can transport grain from China.

"So when they come to grab it, we naturally have to fight back. There is a conflict war here. The barbarians envy our wealth, we hate their plunder, they laugh at our weakness, we despise their barbarism, and the opposition between the barbarians is getting worse and worse. Before me, it was almost the same. Take our State of Zhao as an example. When the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, we got the most extensive territory and the strongest strength, but it was precisely because the long-term war with the Hu people greatly consumed the national strength that made the State of Zhao gradually decline, almost as a small country like Han Yan.

Zhao Xin nodded and said convincingly, "If it hadn't been for your birth, I think that if the State of Zhao goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be a danger of the subjugation of the country without going through a few more generations."

On Zhao Xin's appropriate flattery, Zhao Yong was still very useful. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said proudly, "This is true. If you are poor, you will change. I, the State of Zhao, has fallen into a situation of being bullied by a small country in Zhongshan. If you don't think about it, sooner or later, it will be destroyed. Dead. You see, in all countries, the State of Wei was the first to dominate because of Li Slang's change, and then the king of Qi used Zou Ji to change the method to become rich and strong. The State of Chu used Wu, and the State of Qin got Shang Yang. Even the small South Korea also applied for the change of the law to achieve the business of small hegemony. If I, the State of Zhao, don't think about pain, how can there be no reason to die?

Realizing that his words were a little biased, Zhao Yong returned to the topic and said, "I'll ask you again, first the State of Jin, and then the State of Zhao. I have been fighting with the Hu people for more than 200 years. Among them, there are many great victories, but they have never been able to eliminate the trouble of the Hu people. Do you know why?"

Zhao Xin thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Because every time we are just satisfied with the defeat of the Hu people, we have never thought of uprooting them. If they are defeated, they will run back to the grassland to rest and recuperate, and they can come back in less than many years. After so long and over again, the trouble of the Hu people will never be eliminated.

Zhao Yong nodded, shook his head again, and said, "You're right, and you're not right. It's not that we don't want to, but we can't do it. Do you know how wide and vast the grassland is, far more than several times more than our territory in the State of Zhao. Such a large piece of land can't be occupied by us at all, so there is no way to eliminate the threat of the Hu people from the source.

"Zhou Tianzi attacked the ghosts, and Qi Huan and Jinwen fought against Rong Di. Which time did he not beat them and fled in a hurry. It could not be used for decades, and the new tribe made a comeback again. After the ghost side, there is Rong Di, and after Rong Di, there are three Hus, so even if we can eliminate today's Lou Fan and Lin Hu, destroy their races, and swallow all their land, in a few years, the new powerful tribe will go south again to disturb our State of Zhao.

Zhao Xin couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard this. He said helplessly when he heard the words, "Well, according to what you said, we will never conquer these grasslands. A great victory can only be exchanged for decades of peace at most. These nations on horsebacks are like goose, and they are constantly working with each other for us. Enemy."

Zhao Yong smiled, but did not say anything, but said with a smile; "So at the beginning, I thought about it for many years, and even sneaked into the barbarian tribe to approach them and understand them several times. Finally, I came up with a seemingly impossible, but if it is a coincidence, it is likely to succeed. I will solve the Hu people once and for all. It's a trouble for my confidants."

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard the words and almost subconsciously asked, "What's the way?"

Zhao Yong smiled mysteriously at the corners of his mouth, "It's very simple. It's what I did before, riding and shooting in Hufu."

"Hufu riding and shooting?" Zhao Xin was surprised when he heard the words and looked at the master with surprise, and his eyes were full of puzzlement. Not to mention him, I'm afraid that few people in the world can understand the meaning of Zhao Yong's words. According to the world's thinking, Hufu riding and shooting is nothing more than the system promoted by the Hu people in order to cultivate a powerful cavalry.

"Yes." Zhao Yong nodded, and there was a trace of pride in his eyes.

"If you want to solve the problem of the Hu people once and for all, the best way is to integrate them, let their blood full of wildness integrate into the blood of our Zhao people, let them accept our civilization and recognize our cognition, and get used to our etiquette and obey our law."

"But how easy is this? The barbarians have been hostile to each other for hundreds of years and have been deeply wary of us. How can they take the initiative to take off their beard clothes and put on our long clothes and accept our assimilation? So to do this, the first thing to do is to eliminate the gap between each other's hearts and let them accept us, so I took the opportunity to create cavalry to order Hufu nationwide. In the past, it was our Chinese people who looked down on the barbarians, but this time it was our turn to lower our posture and approach them. They will certainly be willing to get close to me, Zhao, so that they will begin to learn everything from us.

"I also persuaded my uncle and son to become them like this. They were worried that we should learn the customs and lifestyles of the Hun. What if we don't integrate the Huns but be integrated by the Huns? Guess what I said?"

At this time, Zhao Xin had already understood and figured out the truth. Hearing the words, he also laughed and said, "I'm my father. You must have laughed and said, 'He eats well. Do you think he will run to eat shit by himself?'"

Zhao Yong smiled and leaned back, and the tiger's body trembled. He laughed and said, "Your words are very appropriate, but it is true. Good is good. We have a complete set of culture and cognition, and the barbs don't even have words. How can they abandon the good ones to study bad? Uncle's worries are completely unfounded, and it is impossible at all. Therefore, as long as the Hu people are willing to integrate into my state of Zhao, they will completely integrate into the blood of my Zhao people. From then on, there will be no such thing as Lou Anno and Lin Hu.

"And one thing about Hu people is that once they respect each other, it is difficult to do treachery. Nowadays, Lou Fan and Lin Hu respect me. As long as I, the State of Zhao, live up to them first, there is no counter to the truth in the second part. You should know that the Hu people are different from our Huaxia people. Their king is not a word, and one sentence can determine the fate of the whole tribe. Their king is nothing more than the most powerful leader, so he becomes the defender of tribal interests. But once the king himself goes against the will of the ministries, it can be imagined that his throne will come to an end.

Saying this, Zhao Yong couldn't help narrowing his eyes and looking at Zhao Xin with a smile, "Now, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao confidently bent down and bowed down; "Lord, please be worshipped by the boy!"
