The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 144 Carrying Xianbei’s future

Although the Duan brothers present had some vague speculations in their hearts, they couldn't help but blush when they heard that their brother, who had always taken care of them, actually died like this.

Duan Wenyuan screamed at this moment and made a gesture of wanting to pounce forward.

But immediately, the guards beside them placed sharp Bailian knives on their necks.

The cold sharpness transmitted from the blade quickly calmed down the Duan brothers.

Not to mention their elder brother, even at this moment they were fighting for each other, and they felt extremely sad for a moment.

"Did Duke Liu take orders from Liu Cong and come to kill us?" Duan Shujun couldn't help but said after he calmed down.

"Kill him if you want, my good head of Xianbei son is here!" Duan Pixi shouted angrily.

Duan Wenyuan and Duan Xiu also stretched their necks at this moment, as if to say, come and chop us!
Liu Tai looked at their excited expressions and waved his hand, asking the surrounding guards to put down the knives on their necks.

Then Liu Tai said slowly, "The six members of Duan Ji are dead. Maybe the next angel who comes to deliver the imperial edict will come and order you all to be executed, so you four make a decision now!"

When Duan Shujun heard Liu Tai's words, he faced Liu Tai and said sternly, "Excuse me, Lord, I don't know what to choose?"

"I need you Duan clan to leave two people as benchmarks, and two people to go back to the grassland to lead the Xianbei tribe." Liu Tai said calmly.

"What do you mean, the Duke, are you going to let our brothers go!?"

The Duan family present were overjoyed at first when they heard this, but Duan Shujun immediately reacted calmly,

"Why can we only let the two of them go? The general doesn't look like a villain who is trying to set things apart!"

To be honest, because the prairie culture is about fearing power but not morality, even if the upper echelons of the Xianbei people are considered to be a relatively Chinese class, this kind of thing in their bones is not so easy to erase.

Therefore, the Xianbei people either feared or respected Liu Tai, a military commander who defeated them in an upright manner.

Even at the beginning, Liu Tai reminded Duan Ji's six family members to keep his younger brothers who were not entrusted with the Jin Dynasty's canonized positions, which was even more beneficial to their survival.

Under such circumstances, their thoughts on Liu Tai were quite complicated, but at least they did not have any obvious resistance.

When Liu Tai heard Duan Shujun's words, he looked at Duan Shujun with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

As the second brother of the Duan brothers, Duan Shujun immediately took over the responsibility as the elder brother after learning about the death of Duan Ji's six relatives. At this moment, he calmed down from his joy and asked the key to the problem, why didn't Liu Tai Appreciate it.

Liu Tai looked at Duan Shujun and said calmly, "Because I want to use you Duan Xianbei for an experiment!"

When the Duan brothers heard Liu Tai's words, their faces couldn't help but change. At this moment, Duan Wenyuan couldn't help but say, "Liu..."

It was Duan Shujun who stopped his younger brother, but said with a serious look: "Now that we and I are prisoners of the county, even if two of our brothers survive, it all depends on the general's kindness. Whatever the general says, we will do what we do!" "

Obviously, compared to Duan Wenyuan, Duan Shujun is more rational and understands that surviving is the most important thing now.

"If it's just this kind of awareness, I really don't have the need to let you go!" Liu Tai looked at Duan Shujun and said.

"Is the Duke playing tricks on us?" Duan Wenyuan couldn't help but clenched his fists and said excitedly.

"Are you kidding me?" Liu Tai shook his head after hearing what Duan Wenyuan said, "You just don't understand what kind of experiment I want to do! What do you think the death of Duan Ji's six family members represents?"

At this moment, the Duan brothers couldn't help but feel confused, and for a while they couldn't keep up with Liu Tai's thinking.

"It shows that the Xiongnu Xianbei plan to take the path of relying on the Jin court is wrong, and it also shows that the current Han Dynasty is even more unable to accept the Xianbei tribe.

Therefore, the Xianbei cavalry led by Duan Ji Liujuan was defeated by me, which also means that His Majesty killed him! "

Liu Tai said slowly, "In other words, the path you Xianbei have been walking on is gone!"

After hearing Liu Tai's words, Duan Shujun, Duan Wenyuan, and Duan Pixian could not help but be startled, while Duan Xiu's clear eyes revealed clear stupidity.

Although I don't understand what Liu Tai is talking about, it sounds reasonable.

"My lord, are you just saying this to suppress us?" Duan Shujun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Liu Tai.

"Is this necessary?" Liu Tai said calmly, "I am telling you this just to tell you that there is a new way here.

But I don’t know if this road is feasible. Someone needs to take it for the sake of his own people!
And I happen to have your Xianbei Duan clan under my command, I just happened to meet him! "

"Can't all of us brothers take this road?!" Duan Pizhen couldn't help but speak after hearing Liu Tai's words.

"How can anything be so cheap in the world!" Liu Tai said after hearing what everyone said,

“For me, what I need is an experiment to verify the integration of foreign races into the Han race.

But there will naturally be a test, and the original tribe of Xianbei is the best choice.

Is it a choice to completely become the Xianbei of China, or to become the Xianbei of the grasslands? In the end, there is only one choice.

Can this kind of thing be explained clearly with words?The end of the nation's fate is nothing more than fists and blood! "

"What the Duke means is that not only will our brothers be separated now, but we will even kill each other in the future, right?" Duan Shujun said.

"Killing each other?" Liu Tai shook his head after hearing Duan Shujun's words, "Fighting for the future of the ethnic group, fighting for the survival of the ethnic group!

Just like in today's troubled world, the first to be eliminated are the warlords who separatist power for their own selfish desires, and the remaining ones are the monarchs who strive to implement their own will.

But kings do not meet each other, because will can attract followers but cannot conquer another king. The only thing that can conquer another king is the fist!

And in such troubled times, your tribe is the same. Whether you build an independent country, rely on the Jin court, or choose to rely on me, you will ultimately find a way for your tribe to continue, right?
It's just that for me, those who want to be an army under my command must have a will that can be carried out throughout their lives, rather than mercenaries who have no will and don't even know what they are fighting for.

Since you can't find it yourself, and I need an experiment to accept foreign races, then I will give you one and fight for the future of Xianbei!

Otherwise, if I have the chance, I will definitely re-enact the story of Huo Qubing! "The Duan brothers present looked at Liu Tai, and they looked like a madman in their eyes.

Because they understand that Liu Tai is telling the truth, but they really don't understand why Liu Tai doesn't want to surrender with them and others, but wants to separate his brothers, but...

For Xianbei!
Faced with such reasons, they really couldn't say no. At this moment, facing Liu Tai, they could only remain silent.

"I know, you don't understand what I said." Liu Tai looked at the silence of the Duan brothers and said, "Then you just think of this as the Zhuge family split into three official families in the late Han Dynasty, and you just want to find a way for the tribe to survive!"

"Aren't the three Zhuge families all exterminated?" Duan Shujun couldn't help but murmured after hearing Liu Tai's words, "I remember that if the Sima family wanted to control the government, they had to kill the Zhuge family."

"Don't be ridiculous, Zhuge Jing, the great-great-grandson of Zhuge Wuhou, was once appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, and Zhuge Hui of Langya was a close minister of Jin King Sima Rui!" Zhang Song said quickly after hearing Duan Shujun's words.

When several Xianbei Duans heard Zhang Song's words, they immediately realized that they were somewhat ignorant about the descendants of the Zhuge family.

To be honest, if Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Shang of the Zhuge family had not died directly in battle, then the Western Jin Dynasty would have treated the Zhuge family well after Adou surrendered. After all, the Zhuge family was also a noble family.

And their choice to die for the Shu Han not only further safeguarded Zhuge Liang's image, but also helped the Zhuge family's monument of wisdom and loyalty. This kind of family should be treated kindly.

Liu Taize continued, "You choose who will stay to set an example for the captured Xianbei people and integrate well into China. Whoever chooses to go back to the Xianbei tribe will continue to be your Xianbei Khan.

You decide for yourself who leaves and who stays.

After all, this is related to Duan's own fate. I just want an experiment. You will ultimately be responsible for Xianbei's fate! "

Listening to Liu Tai's somewhat irresponsible but extremely frank words, the Duan brothers were also thoughtful at this moment.

Liu Tai looked at Duan Shi's brothers' deep thoughts and said:

"If you can't make a decision in a short period of time, then I will just wait for you for a few days.

But it won’t take too long, at least the angel must give me an answer before he comes to Qingzhou.

Otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it, I hope you are strong enough! "

"Your Majesty is kind, how can we not know what is right and wrong? Please give us one night to let us brothers discuss it. We will give you a reply tomorrow at the latest!" Duan Shujun said seriously.

Um!Liu Tai nodded when he heard this, and then asked someone to take them down.

Looking at the words of Liu Tai and these Xianbei Duans, Zhang Song said, "General, why do you do this? Since ancient times, the Hu people have been afraid of power and have no morality. Even though the Han Dynasty has raised the Southern Xiongnu for such a long time, when time comes, there will be no return." It’s not the other way around!”

"Of course I know that the barbarians are wild and untamable!" Liu Tai said after hearing Zhang Song's words, "But now the world is in chaos. It seems to be a fight between the Huns and the Han Kingdom and the Western Jin Dynasty, but in fact it is becoming more and more prosperous. The war between the alien race and our Han people.

Therefore, if the conflict between Hu and Han is not resolved, then even if I am reincarnated as the overlord, I will not be able to change the prejudices in the hearts of the world.

Chengjian has been a mountain that is difficult to move since ancient times. If it is not solved, the troubled times will never subside! "

"The Duke's eyesight is too shallow!" Zhang Song heard Liu Tai's explanation, but he also had some sincere admiration for Liu Tai in his heart, because Liu Tai really discovered the problem, and then Go try to solve the problem.

However, at this time, Zhang Song was still a little confused and said: "But why is it necessary to explain this matter so clearly to these Xianbei tribes? Xu promised to let the two of them go, leaving the two of them behind." Of course that’s it!”

"What I want is not that the four brothers are at war with each other. After all, even if they are at war with each other, it doesn't make any sense to me. I just want to push them and let them decide the future fate of the Xianbei people!"

Liu Tai said calmly, "If they don't have this awareness in their hearts, I will just raise an army of servants.

But the question is, does our current military system need to be a servant army?
We need an army with convictions, no matter what their convictions are, but they must have convictions! "

Zhang Song couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words, and couldn't help thinking, "Isn't this not a servant army?"

Liu Tai naturally didn't say much. There is a difference between a servant army and a servant army, right?
Are those servant armies who get paid to do things the same thing as the servant army who wholeheartedly want to become Han people?
Liu Tai understood very well that the main line of contradiction between the Five Hus and the Chinese in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was always the difference between Hu and Han.

If this contradiction is not resolved, even if you unify the world, it will not last long.

But historically, it took a full 300 years to resolve this conflict.

There is no way I can live for 300 years.

And it must be admitted that if there is no proper way to deal with the alien races, it is not impossible to kill them all. The problem is that there is no way to kill all the people.

Even if all these barbarians are killed, the barbarians will soon grow out of the prairie like leeks, but grass will definitely grow on their graves by then.

Therefore, killing can only postpone the problem and accumulate hatred, but it is not a solution to the problem.

If you really want to solve this problem, in the final analysis, you still need to find a way out.

The path Liu Tai wants to try at this moment is to accelerate the sinicization of the surrounding foreign races and become ethnic minorities in China.

Of course, the Xianbei brothers of the Duan tribe who were interested in the path Liu Tai wanted to try looked at each other at this moment.

Duan Shujun looked at the brothers and said, "Whether you choose to leave or whether you choose to stay, let's talk about it. Don't regret the choice you make!

Do you choose to go back and be an eagle on the grassland, or stay and be a dog for Liu Tai? I am the brother, you choose first! "

At this time, Duan Wenyuan smashed the stool hard. For the first time, he realized that he was so powerless, but he also muttered, "Fourth and fifth, you guys choose!"

"I want to go back to the tribe!" Duan Pixian took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The path Liu Tai gave us must be the right one. I want to go back to the tribe I am more familiar with!"

Duan Shujun nodded and looked at Duan Xiu. Duan Xiu looked at his brother in confusion, but said, "I listen to my brother!"

"I'll stay with Wen Yuan, and you and Laosi will go to the grassland and go back to the Xianbei tribe!" Duan Shujun took a deep breath and said, "Don't regret it once you've made the decision. We must shoulder the future of Xianbei and go back to the Xianbei tribe firmly. Get down!"

"promise!"

　It's updated today, so don't wait any longer.
