Chapter 72 Tuoba Clan

Just as the Kwantung Allied Forces and Dong Zhuo started their military deployment around Hulao Pass, Liu Bian and his party walked around the city outside Jiangyi City, and then headed east all the way to Bingzhou.

Liu Bian learned the previous lesson, this time he took a small road, and the people bypassed the eldest son of Bingzhou County and went straight to Lu County.

Along the way, what he heard and saw far exceeded Liu Bian's expectations.

In Liu Bian's perception, Bingzhou has always been ruled by big men, but when he visited Bingzhou in person, he was surprised to find that the actual situation here was quite different from what the officials said.

Along the way, looking around, there are many Hu people and few Han people. What the ministers said in the memorials is a joke. Bingzhou is not controlled by the Han people at all, but most of them are controlled by the Hu people. man's hand.

Bingzhou in history is not too different from what Liu Bian saw. Until the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao, who claimed to be sitting in the land of four states, still failed to fully control Bingzhou, and most of the actual control of Bingzhou fell into the In the hands of the Huns and Xianbei.

Looking at the barbarian woman sitting on a boulder by the river, starching and washing clothes, Liu Bian smiled slightly and said with emotion: "The people of Bingzhou are tough, and they really deserve their reputation."

Seeing a stranger approaching, the Hu woman showed no fear on her face, and continued to do her own thing. If it were a Han woman, she would have run away with her face blushing and her head bowed.

Two women who were threading needles with tree roots aroused Liu Bian's great interest, so he immediately rode his horse and walked towards the river. Beside the woman, he said in a gentle voice, "Dare to ask, sisters, what are you doing?"

As Liu Bian spoke, he pointed to the twigs and wool held under the armpits of the Hu women.

A 24-year-old Hu woman looked at Liu Bian and said, "We are knitting sweaters."

"Knitting a sweater?"

Hearing this, Liu Bian turned his eyes to the woman and asked, "Is this the sweater?"

"Ah."

The Hu woman named Tuoba Wenyue nodded, then pointed to her companion who was starching and washing the wool in the river, and said, "Wash the wool with water, knead it into thin threads, and then make clothes with branches. It can keep out the cold in winter."

Right now.

A gust of cold wind hit, and Liu Bian couldn't help shivering. He hastily stretched out his hands to tighten the fox fur cloak on his body, and said, "Sister, I want to buy some sweaters from you to keep out the cold. Are you willing to part with me?"

Tuoba Wenyue smiled slightly, and said: "Wool is worthless at all, if you like it, I will give you a few pieces."

At this time, Tang Ji poked her head out from the carriage. She heard the whole conversation between Liu Bian and the other party, and she roughly guessed Liu Bian's intentions, so she immediately brought four maidservants to Tuoba Wenyue, Said: "Sister, my little sister has an unfeeling request, I don't know if I should say it?"

Tuoba Wenyue scrutinized the faces of Liu Bian and Tang Ji after hearing the words, and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Tang Ji, who was seen through her mind, smiled slightly when she heard the words, and then sat down beside Tuoba Wenyue, hugged her arm affectionately, and said, "Sister Lao."

Tuoba Wenyue silently glanced at Tang Ji holding her hand, and sighed: "You are obviously a lady, but you deliberately lowered your posture for such a trivial matter, you must have encountered difficulties?"

"What a clear mind." Tang Ji thought so.

Tang Ji sighed helplessly, with a look of sadness on her face, and said: "My father offended the dignitaries in the court, and as a result, the family has fallen, and we have no choice but to leave home to seek our own livelihood."

Tuoba Wenyue, who was full of sympathy, sighed lightly when she heard the words, and immediately taught Tang Ji and others the method of knitting sweaters on the spot.

Tang Ji and the four maidservants studied with Tuoba Wenyue for about an hour, and roughly learned the method of threading a needle. The next step is not a question of teaching, but a lot of practice, practice makes perfect.

Tuoba Wenyue looked up at the sky and saw the setting sun, so she got up to bid farewell to everyone, saying: "It's getting late, the night is frosty and dew heavy, it is not suitable to hurry, everyone should find a place to stay as soon as possible."

The north is no better than the south. The middle and late March is a time of spring for the south, but for the north, it is a time of cold spring.

Tang Ji gave Tuoba Wenyue a deep blessing, and said, "Thank you for your kindness in teaching my sister."

Tuoba Wenyue saw that Tang Ji was very well-behaved, and was overjoyed, and extended an invitation to everyone: "If you have no place to stay, you can come back to the village with me for a night."

Liu Bian looked at Zhang Xun silently, and saw that Zhang Xun nodded his head, so he smiled and cupped his hands at Tuoba Wenyue, and said: "Sister Zhai has a kind heart, and I am very grateful to Bian. Flying to the top, I must repay my sister's kindness today."

Tuoba Wenyue took a deep look at Liu Bian, and said, "You are young, but there is an undisguised aura of wealth in your brows, and your words and deeds often give people the feeling of being in a superior position for a long time."

Tuoba Wenyue said, looking past Liu Bian, at the dozen or so carriages being escorted by Lei Wanchun, and said meaningfully: "The family is in decline, and there is such a heavy family background. He must have come from a wealthy family."

Turning around to look at the wheel that was deeply crushed into the loess, Liu Bian nodded clearly, and said: "Before my father-in-law was in trouble, he often gave money to help heroes from all over the world, so after he was in trouble, he also got a sum of money from everyone. It's a great reward."

Tuoba Wenyue nodded. Immediately, holding the undried wool in one hand, she walked up to a war horse, pressed the saddle with the other hand, and with a little force on her arm, she rolled onto the horse's back.

Seeing this, Liu Bian couldn't help giving her a thumbs up, and praised: "My sister is indeed a child of the grassland. Just now, an ordinary Han woman would never be able to do it. Admiration, admiration."

Tuoba Wenyue curled her lips and said, "What's the matter, the children of the grassland riding horses are like you Han people farming the land. This is an innate ability, and it's really not worth mentioning."

At this time, Nan Jiyun asked a question that aroused his great interest: "Cultivation is a long-term solution, why don't the barbarians cultivate it?"

Tuoba Wenyue cast a cold glance at Nan Jiyun, and asked, "Why don't the Han people herd horses?"

Nan Jiyun frowned, and said: "The life of the Han people has always been based on farming, and they are not good at herding horses."

"You also know that people should do what they are good at." Tuoba Wenyue said.

"The tribes in the north like to herd horses. They are good at riding and shooting, but not good at farming. If you give up riding and shooting horses and learn farming, it will be tantamount to asking for a dead end." Tuoba Wenyue said.

"I see." Nan Jiyun nodded silently.

Under the guidance of Tuoba Wenyue, Liu Bian and his party walked towards Tuoba's camp.

After about a stick of incense.

In everyone's line of sight, a camp that can accommodate about two to three thousand people suddenly appeared, and this is the residence of the Tuoba clan.
